Chapter 303: It’s both a deposit and a test

"But," Sang Yu quickly added, "I can give you two choices: a fixed minimum wage or a daily delivery fee. Make your decision before you start work every day."

Many things cannot be decided on a whim. Since you plan to hire someone to deliver the food, you should think of solutions to various problems in advance.

At the beginning, there were definitely not many people ordering takeout.

This can easily make delivery workers who already don't trust this new business feel lost, feeling that this job has no development prospects, or even that they may be fired one day.

When they deliver food, they will inevitably perform poorly due to their low mood, which will cause a chain reaction and make customers feel that the service attitude is poor and they will be even less willing to try takeout.

So she had already thought of two options. One was to offer a fixed amount of wages, regardless of how many orders she delivered that day.

The second is to still follow the original regulations, you get as much as you give, and the more you work, the more you earn.

Of course, it is impossible to decide between these two options after all the delivery tasks for the day are completed. Otherwise, even a fool would know to choose the one that pays more.

When the number of orders increases and their income rises accordingly, they will naturally no longer be interested in the guarantee of a fixed salary.

It can be said that this guaranteed salary is a novice benefit and protection given to them by Sang Yu, telling everyone clearly that as long as you are willing to work, you will not lack money.

As expected, as Sang Yu said this, everyone present showed joy on their faces.

Only Tian Lu remained calm and asked, "How much is the fixed salary? When does it start? Is it paid today?"

She won't be fooled by a few words, she has to see the real deal.

"The fixed salary is 40 cents per day, and it will officially start in three days." Sang Yu answered her questions one by one. It takes a few days to promote the takeaway business, and it can't be done all at once.

"As for today, we have it too. We can't let you all make this trip in vain."

Sang Yu waved her hand, and Liu Mao, who was waiting under the eaves, came over with a tray of copper coins.

Strings of dark copper-colored, black copper coins were piled on the plate, making it dizzying to look at. They formed a small hill, and there must be thousands of them.

"Each of you needs to pay a deposit of 20 wen first. When you come back after the matter is settled, there will be another 20 wen balance."

Sang Yu smiled sweetly. She asked these people to come here today, of course not to deliberately trick them, but to outline the floor plan of the surrounding area.

Although the books in the government treasury should have a similar layout map of the city, her relationship with the government was not that close, and asking Zhong Xueru for help was a bit of an overreaction.

In addition, I don’t know whether the layout map from the government has been revised in time, so I still have to send people to conduct on-site inspections and draw a new topographic map.

Sang Yu pointed to the giant topographic map hanging on the wall. "Look, everyone! This is the floor plan of Qinghuan Street. What you're going to do today is go out and draw the floor plans of several nearby streets and bring them back."

She didn't require them to draw very carefully or neatly, but only required them to count how many buildings there were on the north and south sides of each street, and to draw sketches in squares or circles instead.

Before it is officially put into use, she will personally take Sang Xingjia to check it out and find out any omissions.

If they said it would be twenty cents, then they would give out twenty cents. Each string of small coins was exactly twenty cents, and each of the newcomers received one string.

As they received the money, some people in the crowd's eyes flickered. If they didn't continue to do what they were told, but instead took the money and left, it probably wouldn't matter.

After all, now I can get twenty cents just by coming here. If I skip all the trouble and go home directly, and then let my family come to collect the money, wouldn’t it be faster and easier than drawing the picture slowly by myself?

Sang Yu could not have failed to anticipate this. It was very simple to control them. All he had to do was make them leave some valuable collateral.

But what she wanted was self-awareness. These twenty cents were both a deposit and a test.

How can we guarantee that someone who chooses to leave for a mere twenty cents will not run away with drinks worth dozens or hundreds of cents when delivering food in the future?

If this hidden danger is exposed only at that time, it would be a real loss of the big picture.

Sang Yu patiently gave each person charcoal pencils and paper, divided the areas they were responsible for, and then personally demonstrated how to paint.

After making sure that everyone understood, he signaled them to leave.

Several people looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to go out.

In the end, Tian Lu was the first to go out. She left without looking back, holding a pen and paper. It didn't seem like she was going out to draw, but more like she was going to never come back.

Someone took the lead and others followed suit. In the blink of an eye, the six or seven people in the backyard disappeared.

Liu Mao was still holding the tray with a large number of money strings on it. He glanced towards the door and said with some worry: "Aren't you afraid that they won't come back?"

"Don't be afraid. The others might run away, but the woman leading the group will definitely come back. I'm a pretty good judge of people. Want to make a bet?"

I don’t know if it’s because he’s been with Zhong Xueru for too long, but Sang Yu now also likes to make bets with others.

"No bet, I believe you." Liu Mao shook his head and refused. He didn't trust those people, but he believed in Sang Yu's judgment.

"Tsk, boring." Sang Yu curled her lips. She wanted to ask Liu Mao to tell her a joke if she won the bet. It must be very interesting to see someone with a blank expression trying not to laugh.

After a busy day, the streets outside gradually became lively, and all kinds of stalls were set up.

Seeing this, Sang Yu immediately lost the desire to amuse him and patted the charcoal dust on her hands: "I'm going to buy something, you take the money back."

The vendors who can set up stalls on Qinghuan Street have some special skills, and the things they sell are either delicious or beautiful in appearance.

Sang Yu walked from the beginning to the end of the street, and when he returned to Pearl Drink, his hands were full and he almost hung them around his neck.

Liu Mao hurried over, took the things from her hands, and asked in confusion, "Why did you buy so many things?"

When the Sang father and son came with me in the past, they didn’t buy so many things. But today, when he came alone, he bought a lot.

"I'm going to visit my second uncle later, so I have to buy more things." With his help, Sang Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Second uncle?" Liu Mao raised his eyebrows slightly at the title, but didn't say anything else.

His information channels are updated very quickly, and the surname Sang is not a common surname. The newly added Sang family members are probably relatives of Sang Yu.

He just bought a big house in the city and opened a restaurant, while living in a mountain village outside the city. Even without asking, you can guess what's going on.

Naturally, he wouldn't ask any further questions and only bring trouble to himself.
