Chapter 211: The Secret to Poaching People
When Chen Fan arrived at Medal Club, Ding Dian hadn't come yet. After asking Feng Pojun, he learned that this woman had gone to inspect the cleaning work at the Yuhai Family Garden apartment.
Chen Fan felt admiration. It seems that poaching Ding Dian over was the right move, and this time, no matter what, he would have to give her a raise.
First, he toured around the club. Nowadays, the club was completely different from the dilapidated amusement park it used to be.
Due to the popularity of the CS game and the endorsement of celebrities, the club's business was currently in a continuous upward trend. Sometimes, the reception capacity was saturated, leading to queuing.
Apart from this, what surprised Chen Fan was that the first venue to fill up its membership was unexpectedly the yoga hall among the remaining venues.
The other venues, whether the tennis hall, badminton hall, or dry ice rink, had not yet filled up. Only this yoga hall was overcrowded.
Chen Fan curiously asked, "Is there anything different?"
Old Feng smiled and said, "Boss, you'll know if you go and take a look yourself."
"Let's go."
Chen Fan walked towards the yoga hall. Standing outside, he could already see the crowded scene inside through the door.
What astonished Chen Fan was when did the yoga hall acquire so many coaches?
Old Feng explained with a smile, "These few female coaches were poached by Manager Ding from other yoga halls at high salaries. It's undeniable that professionals are indeed formidable."
"Since these few female coaches came, not only did they bring in a group of high-quality customers, but they also attracted a large number of female customers who came here to play and experience firsthand."
"According to statistics, at least 83% of female customers decided to purchase a membership card after experiencing it."
Chen Fan smiled.
It seems Ding Dian has some tricks up her sleeve.
"Let's go."
They came to the building located in the most secluded corner of the club.
The building was still the same dilapidated structure, but the interior was quite different.
Feng Pojun quietly introduced, "These days, Manager Ding has been busy with this matter, working until very late every day."
"But I heard her say that the renovations inside are almost complete."
Chen Fan nodded. A haunted house didn't need to be overly luxurious in its renovations, the main focus was on props and the storyline of the NPC characters.
As they were about to leave after a tour, Ding Dian returned.
Watching this woman step down from a taxi, walking briskly towards them in her high heels, Chen Fan thought to himself that perhaps he should arrange a car for the club.
It didn't matter much for himself whether he bought a car or not since he was alone most of the time. Moreover, he was still a student and didn't want to draw too much attention alongside Su Ruochu.
However, for the club's side, there were currently over a hundred employees, with more than a dozen middle-level managers.
Adding Ding Dian, who acted as the general manager, it was quite inconvenient for this large group to rely solely on taxis for commuting to and from the club.
Especially for Ding Dian, who mostly used taxis for personal errands on Chen Fan's behalf.
"You're such a busy person, yet you still know to come," Chen Fan greeted.
As soon as she saw him, Ding Dian gave Chen Fan an unfriendly glance and then walked straight past him into the office.
This scene left many female employees around marveling.
It seemed that only Manager Ding dared to speak to President Chen like that in the entire club.
Chen Fan didn't get angry but followed her into the office with a smile. There, he saw Ding Dian ungracefully holding a cup and gulping down water.
"Drink slowly. Can't you, as a beautiful woman, pay attention to your image a little?"
Ding Dian drank the entire large cup of water in one gulp, shamelessly wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
"I was busy cleaning up your new house all morning. I finally got it done, but I didn't even have a sip of water all morning."
Chen Fan was delighted. "The new house is cleaned up?"
Ding Dian glared at him, her face full of annoyance. "Aren't you missing the point? I said I..."
Chen Fan realized he had misspoken and quickly ran to fetch another cup of water, then handed it to Ding Dian with an ingratiating smile.
"Hmph."
Ding Dian let out a cold snort, "Don't think I'll forgive you just because of this."
Chen Fan smiled with a laugh, "I've already decided, starting this month, your salary will be raised one level."
Ding Dian glanced at Chen Fan, "Does our broken club even have salary levels?"
Chen Fan awkwardly said, "My mistake, I mean I'll raise your salary by another 2,000 yuan."
Ding Dian let out a satisfied huff, which was more acceptable.
"What did you come here for today?"
Chen Fan felt awkward, "I just took a tour around and found that you've managed the entire club in an orderly manner. The haunted house is also almost completed... There's really no need for me, the boss, anymore."
"You got that right." Ding Dian huffed, "If you ever make me angry one day and I quit, this club of yours will immediately become paralyzed."
"Understood, understood."
Only then did Ding Dian burst into laughter.
After the joking was over, they started discussing serious matters.
Ding Dian said the renovations for the haunted house were complete, but it was difficult to find suitable actors.
Especially in Yunhai, a second-tier city, there was no precedent for opening a haunted house.
Chen Fan directly suggested, "Don't bother finding any more. I'll give you a few days off, and you can take a few people to other cities to see how their haunted houses operate. Learn from their experience."
"Of course, if there's an opportunity to poach a management staff member, that would be even better."
Ding Dian pursed her lips in disagreement, "You think poaching people is as easy as digging up potatoes?"
"It really is that easy."
Chen Fan smiled, "Let me tell you, once you're there, take the opportunity to privately ask the other party how much their monthly salary is. Then, you offer them double that. See if they'll come or not."
Ding Dian stubbornly argued, "But what if they refuse? After all, Yunhai can't compare to those first-tier big cities."
Chen Fan smiled confidently and waved his hand dismissively.
"Then keep increasing the offer until they're satisfied."
"Give them a reason they can't refuse."
At that moment, for the first time, Ding Dian saw a strong self-confidence and the composure of someone who had long held a high position in Chen Fan.
Chen Fan's next sentence broke Ding Dian's trance.
"Of course, you can increase the money, but you have to make sure the other party is truly talented. If you end up poaching a pig back for me, you'll be responsible for paying their salary."
Ding Dian pursed her lips, "I'm not that stupid."
Chen Fan helplessly said, "But how long have we known each other, and you've already dropped the act?"
"When we first met, you were a sophisticated and elegant female designer, but in just a few days, how have you become a shrew who starts every sentence with 'old lady' and ends it with 'my xxx (beep beep)'..."
Ding Dian glared at him, "You have the nerve to bring this up?"
"With a boss like you, even the most elegant employee would be driven mad in no time."
"Just thinking about it makes me angry..."
Chen Fan wished he could slap himself for speaking without thinking. He had truly touched a nerve.
Now, he only wanted to quickly change the subject and go see the newly renovated house.
However, Ding Dian stopped him from leaving.
"The organizational structure of the club is basically complete now. Since you've finally come, you should at least hold a meeting with the management team and convey some spirit, right?"
Chen Fan looked puzzled. "What spirit can I, someone who opened a club, convey?"
Ding Dian insisted, "At least show your face and say a few words, can't you?"
"With so many people working here, if the boss doesn't make an appearance for a long time, how can the employees work properly?"
Chen Fan nodded, seeing some logic in her words. It seemed he couldn't escape this.
So Ding Dian immediately called to notify all middle and upper management staff to gather in the conference room for a meeting.
Half an hour later, in the conference room filled with more than twenty people, the glass door was pushed open.
All the club's management staff stretched their necks in surprise, watching as the beautiful Manager Ding, accompanied by an even younger young man, walked in.
