For most European and Americans, Christmas is the most important festival of the year, which is equivalent to the importance of the Spring Festival to Chinese people.

Therefore, when Christmas is still three days away, schools, enterprises and institutions have already started to have holidays, and even some units that still need to work have made holiday arrangements.

In addition to important festivals, Christmas is also the peak period for traditional shopping in Europe and the United States. Major shopping malls have marked the "o" or "sale" logo in prominent positions in stores, and citizens are also ready to rush to buy.

According to some business weekly estimates, retail sales of goods in major European and American countries generally account for about a quarter of annual sales, which is a weather vane for the European and American economy.

The vigorous Christmas shopping season has little impact on the Xiao family, because they do not expect this discount to maintain their family expenses, and will not go to the mall to rush to buy with ordinary citizens.

Of course, Xiao Feng and his wife took time to take Nini and Yuer around the Weilshe Avenue and bought a lot of things, which was enough to make them addicted to shopping.

………

December 19th is just an ordinary Friday, but it has a different meaning for employees working in the "Dream Manor".

This year is their first year of working at the "Dream Manor". Xiao Feng will give his employees a holiday on this day. In addition to the necessary security duty, most employees can arrange their holidays on their own.

Therefore, when Xiao Feng summoned all the employees to gather in the small cinema in the manor at 3 pm, everyone was filled with joy and was quite excited.

At present, the employees working in the "Dream Manor" are mainly divided into several large sections, with a total number of people reaching an astonishing 300, which is equivalent to the size of a small enterprise.

Liu Yi, who retired from the China Security Bureau, led the security department of the manor and recruited retired special forces from China, America, Rakshasa and other countries to provide comprehensive security for the manor and Xiao family members. This part of the employees had to work 24 hours and three shifts, with a large number of people reaching 54.

Of course. The salary of these soldiers is not low, with nearly $500,000 a month, which is not affordable by ordinary rich people.

Except, Xiao Feng has not yet provided equipment such as bulletproof Audi, helicopters, automatic weapons, etc., and the investment in this area has also exceeded 10 million US dollars!

In the United States, due to factors such as guns, weapons, and potential terrorist attacks, the super rich attach great importance to security and are willing to spend a lot of money to ensure safety.

For the super rich, problems that can be solved with money are not problems!

Take the Xiao family as an example. Every year, about 20 million rmb of funds are allocated from the family foundation for security work, and important family figures are protected around the clock.

Taking Xiao Xiao, who is alone, as an example, when she was busy developing the "Mengyao Coffee" industry in China, two female special forces soldiers provided her with personal protection 24 hours a day, striving to be foolproof!

At the same time, as long as Xiao Tao, Yang Hao, Xiao Qiang and others leave the group headquarters, they will be accompanied by corresponding security personnel.

As for the "Ginkgo Village", safety is not a problem!

Because of the "Jinghu Sanatorium", a squadron of the China Security Bureau is stationed in the "Ginkgo Village". At the "Ginkgo Airport", there is even a transport helicopter and armed helicopter on standby at any time.

In a sense, the 'Ginkgo Village' is one of the safest places in the world!

As Xiao Feng's housekeeper, Mark William led a large number of employees including gardeners, cooks, drivers, handymen and assistants. Their existence mainly provides comprehensive life services to the Xiao family.

The number of employees in this part reaches 20, but their salary is relatively low. Xiao Feng only needs to pay about $50,000 a month for this. Of course, Mark William's annual salary of $300,000 is not among them, and the salary of the top housekeeper has always been quite high.

‘Dream Winery’ is Xiao Feng’s key project in the next three years. Therefore, he specially mobilized elite soldiers from China and hired some grassroots employees from Los Angeles to form the main body of the winery. ‘Dream Winery’ led by Xiao Li currently has 20 fixed employees, and it is naturally more than enough to take care of 100 acres of wine grapes. (The previous article is a bit incorrect, and the area of ​​the winery is written as 1,000 acres, but it does not affect reading. This will be correct in the future!)

In the future, when picking and brewing, there will be no problem in recruiting temporary workers or drawing help from within the group.

The salary of the winery employees is paid through the winery’s account, and will not be paid directly from Xiao Feng’s private account in this way. This is also one of the traditions of the Xiao family, with clear distinction between public and private!

At present, due to the increasing number of private affairs and corporate account transactions, the lawyers have already had a huge team of professional accountants working around Xiao Feng, who are managed by Xiao Feng's Ma Xiaotian.

Currently, the employees of the "Dream Manor" who work the largest proportion are the employees of the "Dream Restaurant" flagship store, with a total of more than 200 people!

In order to present the world of Chinese cuisine and various top ingredients from the "Mirror Lake Group" in Angel City, after the delivery of the "Dream Manor", Xing Wenjun has led a huge team to the "Dream Manor".

In addition to adjusting the main and auxiliary buildings of the manor and decorating them to meet the operating requirements of the restaurant, various advanced kitchen utensils and luxurious tableware have also been sent from all over the world to the "Dream Manor".

Take the dining table as an example. The rare white marble stone from the mountainous areas of northern Italy was widely used in figure statues as early as the Renaissance, such as Michelangelo, Rodin and other masters. The dining table made of these white marbles, after carefully polishing and sculpting, is undoubtedly the world's top dining table.

In addition, rare wood from India, Southeast Asia and other places has also been specially processed in processing plants to ensure that customers can enjoy the best experience during the meal.

In short, the entire ‘dream restaurant’ uses the best materials and varieties in the world, from the decoration of the dining environment, the dining table, tableware and even the napkins used, and the best choice is as luxurious as possible!

After all, the main potential consumers of the future "Fantasy Restaurant" are all celebrities, celebrities, senior officials and rich people all over the world. For these people, money is not a problem, as long as you enjoy it in place!

At the same time, Xing Wenjun also waved checks under Xiao Feng's instruction and hired top chefs all over the world. From the eight major Chinese cuisines, Chinese pastry masters to Western food masters and Western pastry masters, they constantly enriched the kitchen and heritage of the "Dream Restaurant"!

The success of the "Dream Restaurant" main store has also made it quite famous in the industry. Now that it has offered relatively considerable salary, there are naturally a steady stream of applicants.

After nearly half a year of intense preparations, all preparations for the flagship store of the "Dream Restaurant" are ready, and we are waiting for the opening on New Year's Day.

This Christmas, in order to reward these hard-working restaurant employees, Xiao Feng also decided to give everyone a 10-day holiday and wait until the 29th to return to the restaurant to prepare for opening.

Therefore, the employees who came to the entertainment center were in a very good mood when they met old friends they all got together to chat and talk about their holiday plans.

"Old Xing, how do you arrange this holiday?" Xiao Li and Xing Wenjun met when they were in the "Ginkgo Village", and now they are even more familiar with each other.

Although Xiao Li is Xiao Feng's cousin and has come forward to take charge of the important industry of "Xiao Family Winery", he will not show off the airs of the Xiao clan in front of Xing Wenjun.

You should know that when Xing Wenjun was in China, he was Xiao Feng's legal assistant, and after coming to the United States, he was also Xiao Feng's right-hand man. The popular business of "Dream Restaurant" highlighted his abilities.

Half a year after the opening of the main store of "Dream Restaurant", the restaurant received an astonishing 200,000 customers, and achieved revenue of 100 million US dollars, setting a record of not too big or small!

Xiao Li knew that before the "Dream Winery" achieved results, his position in the "Jinghu Group" was far lower than that of Xing Wenjun.

"Flying in China during the holidays!" Xing Wenjun didn't keep it a secret, and said with a smile: "The child is almost forgotten by me, and he has to go back and have a look. The restaurant is open normally during the Spring Festival and cannot get out! What about you?"

Xing Wenjun is 33 this year. After Xiao Feng, it has been almost six years since he followed Xiao Feng. His son Xing Bin is only two months older than Yu'er, but because of Xing Wenjun's work, he always gets together.

Xing Wenjun has decided to take his wife and son to Los Angeles next summer. The family of three will settle here in the future. With his annual salary of $600,000 and various bonuses and subsidies, he can live a comfortable and comfortable life in Los Angeles.

"I drove along the No. 1 coastal highway with a few guys from the winery to San Francisco. There were many fellow villagers and acquaintances there, and everyone gathered together!" Xiao Li was so happy when she mentioned this.

In the United States, automobile culture is a concept that is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Driving a car is something that the United States often does. Now Xiao Li also has the opportunity to try it, so he is naturally looking forward to it.

Although Christmas is not a Chinese festival, the villagers who come out of Ginkgo Village can take advantage of this holiday to have a good gathering and have a few drinks!

Just as the two were chatting, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao entered the cinema, and everyone's applause immediately sounded, expressing a warm welcome to the boss and the boss's wife.

At the beginning, the Americans were not very accustomed to this kind of corporate culture with a strong Chinese color, but as time goes by, the Americans are not inferior to flattering!

Sometimes it makes people sigh that Franklin is really a king. Eight. Egg, which can make people change their position in minutes!

"Thank you very much for your hard work in the past six months!" Xiao Feng's opening remark was quite concise and said: "Before the Christmas holiday, we will give you the year-end bonus for 2014. I hope everyone has a happy holiday and to accumulate energy for the next stage of work!"

The enthusiasm of the employees almost overturned the roof of the cinema, and the bonus was too much for everyone!

The Americans have no habit of paying cash, so both bonuses and salaries are paid to employees through bank accounts by accountants.

Because "Dream Manor" is not profitable yet, the year-end bonus is not very large, just a two-month monthly salary, but this still makes grassroots employees very happy.

You should know that the salary of "Jinghu Group" is not low. In this economic environment, there are very few companies that can pay year-end bonuses for two months' salary.

"In addition to the security personnel on duty in the manor, all employees can freely arrange 10 holidays and report to the manor on the 29th!" This holiday is for all employees, but the security work must be guaranteed in a blink of an eye. Xiao Feng said: "Liu Yi, just adjust the personnel's turnover, and all the personnel on duty during the holiday will be paid three times the salary!"

The meeting before the holiday was not long, and neither Xiao Feng nor Xu Mengyao were long-term people. In addition, the manor was still in its infancy in the past six months, so there was no way to talk about commending the advanced. The reason why Xiao Feng wanted to hold such an employee meeting was simply to continue the tradition of "Jinghu Group" in the United States and to engrave the corporate culture into the bones of every employee.

In less than an hour, the first all-employee meeting of "Dream Manor" ended. After congratulating each other and saying goodbye, the birds and beasts quickly scattered!

Some employees who were going back to China to visit relatives like Xing Wenjun hurriedly asked the driver to the airport, and they would take the flight tonight to return to China. As for the return ticket, executives like Xing Wenjun are reimbursed for business class, and ordinary employees are only treated in economy class.

Chinese employees working in the United States have an opportunity to return home to visit their relatives every year. The group will reimburse round-trip air tickets. Fortunately, "Jinghu Group" and major airlines have good cooperative relationships and can get a certain discount, otherwise the cost will be quite large.

As for those local American employees, they could not wait to drive their cars and leave the manor, heading straight to major shopping malls and supermarkets to purchase crazily, which is similar to the Chinese purchasing New Year's goods.

Xiao Li and several other employees who were planning to drive to San Francisco's "Miracle Farm" were also inspecting the vehicles and preparing various materials and documents for travel, which were orderly!

As for Xiao Feng's family, they were packing up and preparing to go to the "Dream Ranch" to celebrate Christmas. There was no snow here in Los Angeles, and there was no atmosphere of festivals at all.

Xiao Feng has already given the service staff a holiday, and even the butler William was driven back to accompany his family by him. Therefore, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao had to do many things by themselves.

However, neither of them is a low-key person. Although they are usually serving, they will not lose their links at critical moments.

The next morning, Liu Yi and the left-behind security personnel drove Xiao Feng's family to a small airport in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The "Ni Ni" and the crew were already waiting there.

After saying goodbye to Liu Yi, Xiao Feng's family flew into the blue sky and went on vacation to the "Dream Ranch"! (~^~)

ps:ps: I asked my fellow villagers for monthly tickets, there are so few! So pitiful!
Chapter completed!
