The interview with one boss

Today my boss and I interviewed one customer in Jining. He impressed us a lot. He dropped out of school at 5th Grade in primary school but now he has succeed in business.

He told us he permits his employees to make mistakes for five times on one thing. He explained that he could achieve what he has today is that he had made enough mistakes and he wants to provide his employees enough time to make mistakes and only by this way could they improve within. And he emphasized that when you really give your employees the chance to make mistakes, they make less mistakes than when you warn them not to make any mistake. When they receive real respect, they’ll put more attention to what they do.

There are about 40 employees in his company but these people occupy the whole floor of one building which covers over 2000 square meters. So luxury. He said he encourages his employees to buy big house and if they buy big house, he will loan them money without any interest. He told us that the floor space represents your picture of life. If you live in a big house, you could provide your family a comfortable living environment and you will have more motivation to work and the quality of your life will get higher and higher.

Jining is a middle－sized city and the pace of life is very slow. This was my first time to be there and I kind of like this old city.
