Almighty Coach

Li Dai experienced the feeling of a capitalist exploiter. Facing the salary increase demands put forward by the employees, he showed uncompromising determination and would not give any more money.

Blake in the driver's seat next to him shrugged his shoulders. He also owns 5% of the dry stock of the training center, and he can be regarded as a small boss. He naturally has the mentality of a capitalist, and he is unwilling to raise the salary of his employees from the bottom of his heart.

While driving, Blake said slowly: "I didn't expect you to refuse so decisively. This reminds me of the era when the trade union movement was the most prosperous decades ago. At that time, the trade union organizations often asked for salary increases. Business owners If they disagree, the trade union will organize a strike, and then there will be negotiations between the business owner and the trade union to increase the wages of the workers and improve the benefits of the workers. The workers will go back to work after their demands are met, but the workers who have tasted the sweetness will soon return to work. It was asking for salary increases and benefits, the business owners refused again, the workers went on strike again, and then they negotiated again... Such a cycle went on and on, and finally the business owners couldn't stand it anymore. They shut down the factories, moved the factories overseas, and moved to those places. No place to worry about unions. Business owners continue to make money while American workers lose their jobs."

"I have heard a little bit. I remember that General Motors filed for bankruptcy and reorganization a few years ago. It has become the largest bankruptcy case of a manufacturing company in the history of the United States." Dai Li said.

"In fact, the vast majority of auto workers don't have to worry about jobs. They are all skilled people. Even if the three giants of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler have gone bankrupt, these auto workers can still go to Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. Work, the Japanese never pay attention to trade unions like the United Auto Workers Union in American auto factories, so if you go to work in a Japanese factory, your treatment will be much lower." Blake looked at the red one in the distance traffic lights, slowed down, and continued:

"In fact, all technical occupations are the same. They will not really be unemployed. As long as the technology is in hand, they can always find a job. The difference is whether the standard of living will decline. Just like those coaches who left our center, And the coaches who are leaving, they really just want a better life."

"I understand what you mean. It is not a shameful thing to change jobs for money. On the contrary, if the salary is increased every time you change jobs, it can reflect your self-worth, which also shows that your ability is getting stronger. " Dai Li spread his hands and continued, "But if a person receives a salary that doesn't match his ability, it may not be a good thing."

"Yeah, those coaches thought they should get more salary, so they quit." Blake agreed casually.

Dai Li shook his head: "You got it wrong. What I mean is that the salary I'm giving them now just reflects their ability. With their current ability level, they don't deserve a higher salary. They They shouldn't be asking for a raise, at least not right now, and the training centers that paid them a lot of money are losing money."

Blake was taken aback by Dai Li's words: "I thought you were consoling yourself because you failed to keep those coaches, and for a long time you were saying that those guys who were poached are no-nonsense!"

"Or else? Don't you think their training level is very high?" Dai Li asked rhetorically.

"Compared to you, they are really good, or even completely incomparable, but compared to ordinary physical coaches, they are also very good! At least in my opinion, their work performance is worthy of that salary , It’s even worth the money, that’s why the Ironman Training Center will offer a higher price to poach corners.” Blake replied.

"It's the same with other people. The newcomers you recruited, stay with me for a few days, let me train them well, and they will also become very good physical coaches." Dai Li said confidently.

Blake glared at Dai Li. He didn't know where Dai Li got his confidence.

Blake also wanted to be a boxing coach, so he also knows that training a good coach is not something that can be accomplished overnight, so he seems a little hesitant on the issue of salary increase. There are a lot of ordinary coaches of average level, but good coaches have always been scarce resources, which can be met but not sought.

A faint sneer appeared on Li Dai's face, and there was even a slight sarcasm in the sneer.

"Those naive guys, do they really think that their training level has improved a lot? If they really had that ability, they would have made their mark a long time ago, so why should they be relegated to my training center?" Dai Li shook silently. Shaking his head, his thoughts had already entered the system, looking at the vacant position on the team pyramid.

Those coaches who chose to change jobs were all Dai Li’s earlier employees. At that time, Dai Li’s training center had just opened not long ago. It was impossible to hire high-level fitness coaches without funds and fame. , so only those with average abilities can be recruited, such as Chris Payton's resume is already one of the best.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and coaches with no skills will naturally be paid cheaply. Coupled with hiring some part-time jobs, Dai Li's human resources costs have not been high.

As for the effect of the coach's training, Dai Li was not worried at all. Before that, Dai Li personally arranged the training plan, and then other coaches were responsible for the daily training work. The existence of the detector allows Dai Li to know each person's shortcomings clearly, so that he can formulate a targeted training plan, and other coaches only need to implement the training according to the plan.

And since he got the team pyramid, Li Dai didn't worry about the training effect even more. The team pyramid gave Li Dai's coaches the added training effect, turning them from a group of weak coaches to elite coaches. If there is no team pyramid, they are still a group of very average coaches.

Just like the Jones who was poached by the Ironman training center, with his real level, he could only teach ordinary people in the gym, but Li Dai arranged for him to be a first-class coach in the team pyramid, which made him a first-class coach You must know that Li Dai was capable of coaching the national team when he was still a first-class coach. There is of course a huge difference in level between a gym coach and a national team coach.

It is precisely because of the role of the team pyramid that Jones feels that his training level has increased significantly. It also gave others the illusion that Jones was a young and promising coach.

Dai Li believes that if there is no team pyramid bonus, those coaches who quit jobs will definitely be beaten back to their original shape. If they were really that kind of talented coaches, they would not have been able to work with Dai Li back then, and they would have made some achievements long ago.

Blake in the driver's seat ignored Dai Li's self-confidence. He continued to drive the car, and at the same time said: "There is no rush to recruit manpower, but we have received some physical training clients before, all of which are related to the recruitment of beach lifeguards. This kind of physical training time for exams , the profit is high, but it is a test of word of mouth, if we do not do well in a certain year, it will be difficult to receive such business in the future.”

"Yeah, it's going to be summer again, and the beach will be full again." Dai Li looked at the sky outside.

Blake continued: "Last year, we opened a small-scale physical training course for beach lifeguards, and the results were not bad. Many people passed the physical fitness test during the beach lifeguard assessment. At that time, Jones came to mainly Take charge of it. Jones was the first to be poached by the Ironman training center and took a couple of clients with him, which made us passive."

Among the jobs that young Americans are passionate about, beach lifeguards rank among the top ten perennially. Imagine staying on the beach every day, facing the sea, enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze, and there are many sexy and hot bikini ladies and strong brothers with big chest and eight-pack abs. In a circle, life is like a vacation, and you can also receive a very good salary while on vacation. Isn't this kind of life too tempting for young people? Even in order to cater to young audiences, many American film and television companies specialize in shooting videos related to beach lifeguards.

Therefore, as long as it is the recruitment of beach lifeguards, it will definitely attract a large number of young people to participate, and the popular positions must be selected from the best. In some places in the United States, the admission rate of beach lifeguards is even comparable to the civil service examination in China. This also gave birth to the relevant training industry. Looking at how popular the domestic civil service examination training is, it can be generally imagined that the training of candidates for American beach lifeguards is also very popular.

As a beach lifeguard, in addition to mastering lifesaving knowledge, you must also have good water skills and good physical fitness. Many professional physical training centers will also offer relevant courses to help young people who want to become beach lifeguards train their physical fitness, so that they can pass the selection examination of beach lifeguards more smoothly.

Dai Li was born in a training class. Of course, he knows that this kind of short-term exam-preparation training class is very profitable. Back then, Li Dai could earn a year's income for a two-month summer training class. Therefore, the physical training of beach lifeguards , It is a huge profit for any training center.

However, this kind of short-term training class is very particular about word-of-mouth, not only in China, but also in foreign countries. This year, a group of students will be trained, and if none of them pass the test, then their own brand name will be smashed, and no one will sign up next year. On the contrary, if the pass rate is very high, then when the training class is held next year, the students will definitely flock to it.

For those who attend training courses, the important thing is not the price, but the quality of training. Take the college entrance examination repeat class for example. If you can get a top scorer in the college entrance examination every year, even if the fees are high, you still don’t have to worry about the problem of recruiting students. Many people even go through the back door in order to take this kind of training class.

Thinking of the special nature of the training class, Dai Li rubbed his temples, and then said, "It's my job to hold training classes. I'll be in charge of this year's beach lifeguard training. I want a 100% pass rate!"
