After waiting for a long time, Chen Xin stood up and shouted, reaching out to the man who stepped out in the elevator.
first know
A Kang is actually not called A Kang, his name is Cao Gongbo, Shandong Rizhao people. He has a typical face of Shandong people - honest, honest, thick, close to 1 meters 8, not fat, but a little beer belly.
more than a dozen years ago, when Cao Gongbo came to Ji'nan after 80's, he was still a poor man. Now, he is the owner of three chain stores, a beauty product entity store, or the father of two children. Like most hairdressers in the hairdressing industry, when Cao Gongbo enters, he gives himself a good and easy name: "Kang."
with the development of his hairdressing career over the past two years, he gradually developed an idea to help the children who had difficulty in their families.
Cao Gongbo said that when he first came to Ji'nan, he had worked in many industries, but each of them did not work long. "Later, with my aunt's support, my daughter-in-law and I opened a hairdressing shop at the old east gate. With the 50 thousand yuan given by my aunt, our first hairdressing shop lasted 7 years until the old east gate was demolished. During this period, our store made a reputation, accumulated a lot of fixed customers, bought a house, and ended years of renting and living.
later, after a lot of efforts, Cao Hongbo's shop is many, the need for more people, Cao Gongbo and his wife to the old home to work in the "young people" have come out, arranged in their own shop to learn. "The cause is big and the pressure is great." Cao Gongbo said, "you have to take the baby in your hands, you have to be responsible, you have to let the child have the rest, at least, like me, in Ji'nan to buy a house, buy a car." Work on a daily basis, and the store's thirty or forty "small relatives" management and care, plus in the meantime he added second children, Cao Gongbo felt that he had been tired every day, "not only the body is tired, feel that he became impatient."
one day, a customer who often did hair in the community was inadvertently saying that he wanted a long - term hairdresser for a long - term cooperation in his volunteer's home. "I almost blurted out and asked her if I could do it, and I had a duty to haircut for the old people." For so many years, I have been helped by many people, and I have always wanted to find someone who can help others to pass this "good".
April 2017, Cao Gongbo and his wife came to the international business center of Lu Shang Fu for the first time with eight or nine clerks in the shop.
insist on
"he still has long hair when he first sees conko," recalls Jiang Mengnan, the Minister of the social work of the international summer summer center of the Lu merchant, "in addition to chaste (Cao Gongbo's wife), he is a young man who looks twenty." As Jiang Mengnan said, the average age of employees in Cao Gong Bo store is twenty-three or four years old. "The conkoman people are very quiet. He doesn't talk much, loves to laugh, and is very kind to people. We have contacted the phone several times before, so the communication is very smooth after the meeting. Jiang Mengnan said that the arrival of Cao Gongbo was like a timely rain, which solved the urgent need of the nursing home at that time.
after serving the elderly for the first time, Cao Gongbo's skills were "red hot" in the nursing home. "The old people are very happy, because they are very respectful of the will of the old people, not only carefully, but also to meet the demands of the old people." Jiang Mengnan said, "then I learned that they were all the skilled shopkeeper or 'chief hairdressers' selected by several stores and used the only day of the week to break the old people's hair. Until now, no one has come to the barber for the elderly. "
"the old people are very familiar with them now. Everyone has their own exclusive hairdresser." Jiang Mengnan says, after each time they go, the old people get together and "review" each other's hair, and then decide, "next time I'm looking for a certain haircut." Cao Gongbo is the exclusive hairdresser of centenary Chen Xin. "Every time Cao Chao Lai is always the first one to give grandpa Chen a haircut. They are very special, Cao Ge cut is always Chen grandfather's mind. Jiang Mengnan said.
"what do many people ask me to do?" Cao Gongbo said, "I feel that I get more with the old people. After contact with the old people, my biggest change is that my heart is slowly calm down, not so impetuous, and the attitude of looking at a lot of things has changed. Every time you finish the old man's hair, your mood will be especially good. It's a mental relaxation and decompression. I will insist on doing this. "
recently, Cao Gong wave became more and more busy, because in addition to the old people of the fida International Summer Palace, with the introduction of friends, he had to pull out a day to go to the village of Liu Bu Changling, for the empty nest elderly and the left behind children.
