"And it's best if you don't know the people who are in charge of them. Just think of it as me not trusting them. If you know someone, then you can't beat or scold them. It's not good for management."

"Yeah, got it." Just as he finished speaking, Gu Jingmo came in with something in his hand. Fu Shen quickly started to clean the table.

Putting everything on the table aside, Xia Jin took the bowl and chopsticks, poured the food onto the plate, and started eating.

After talking for so long, they were all hungry. There was no rush about this matter, so they could talk about it after dinner.

After everyone finished eating, Fu Shen helped Gu Jingmo clear the table, brewed another pot of tea, and began to talk about what was going on.

After rinsing his mouth, Xia Jin said, "As for how to sell it, I've actually already figured it out."

Fu Shen looked at her and said, "What can I do?"

Xia Jin said excitedly: "The first thing is to find a famous person to shoot the commercial and put it on TV to increase our popularity."

"The second thing is to find some people to go to various places to promote our products. We'll take our products to other provinces to sell them and negotiate contracts with local department stores."

"For the second type of method, we give them a commission of a few percent for every sale. Of course, there is also a basic salary every month to ensure they don't sell anything and that they still have money to eat."

After hearing this, Fu Shen was silent for a moment and then said, "Which of these two methods do you prefer? Which one do you think is better?"

Xia Jin smiled and said, "Brother Fu Shen, let me ask you something off topic. Is the money for our first investment sufficient?"

"It's still enough. I've used a little more than half. What's wrong?"

Xia Jin shook his head and said, "I was thinking that if we still had enough funds, we could use both plans at the same time to sell our products better."

"I think if we can produce a finished product, we'll have a huge number of manufacturers imitating us, so our main priority now is to increase our visibility."

"When ordinary people mention hot pot ingredients, they will think of our "Hot La La" brand. Only in this way can we seize the market, stand firm and not be defeated by later manufacturers."

"So we must find famous people to shoot commercials and broadcast them repeatedly on TV. This will definitely leave a deep impression on the people."

"We also have to go out and promote our products. There are still many families who don't have TVs, so they don't know about our brand. Some department stores know about our products but don't know how to stock them."

"We hire people to go out and sell our products to this group of people. We need to be proactive and not just sit at home and wait for people to come to us. That's not acceptable."

Fu Shen said thoughtfully, "I understand. If we're looking for someone to shoot the commercial, who do you think would be a good choice?"

Xia Jin said with some embarrassment: "Let's see if the people from Xiangcheng are willing to come over and shoot the commercial for us. If it's too expensive, forget it. We can also find local people."

Xia Jin thought that a local TV series would be released in June, starring handsome men and beautiful women. The TV series would become an instant hit after a few days of broadcasting and became popular all over the country in an instant.

What they have to do is sign them when they are not famous yet, let them shoot the commercials first, and then when they become famous, put them out for advertising.

Xia Jin continued, "I remember there seemed to be a crew called 'Sleepless in the Deep Summer Nights'. See if you can find them. If you can, let them film it."

Fu Shen said puzzledly, "I've never heard of this crew. How can it work? Xia Jin, you haven't been deceived, have you?"

Xia Jin smiled and said, "No, I have a feeling they will be popular. Just listen to me. Besides, they are not expensive now. If they are not popular by then, I will pay for it."

Fu Shen said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay. We can still afford to lose this little bit of money. If that's the case, you don't have to worry about it. Leave it to me."

"Okay, and we have to choose the salespeople carefully. They should be young and literate, and preferably not too thin."

"If you can't read, how can you sign a contract? Plus, this position definitely pays more than other positions, so we have to choose carefully."

Fu Shen said, "Leave it all to me. I'll have someone carefully select. Also, didn't we say before that we'd open a store in the city? I've already found a location and am just waiting to decorate and open it."

Xia Jin smiled and said, "Okay, then we can open the shop once the factory starts production. But how do we find staff? Is it open recruitment?"

Fu Shen frowned and said, "I've been thinking about this too. Apart from anything else, the selection of a store manager is a difficult problem."

Gu Jingmo suddenly said, "Men are allowed, right? Is it okay if it's all men?"

Fu Shen said, "It's fine. As long as they're not too ferocious, it's fine. Besides, men are better. We get off work so late, and women have to worry about their safety, but men don't have to."

Gu Jingmo said calmly: "Then I'll give you a solution. If you are all men, you can find some veterans."

"Some soldiers who retired due to injuries are not wanted in many places. Others whose families don't have the means can only go back to farm with their parents. I think they have all contributed to the country, and this is not acceptable."

"Also, if you don't have a store in one place, you can find people from that place. That way, they can earn money without having to leave their hometown, and your problems will be solved."

Xia Jin took Gu Jingmo's arm and said with a smile: "Why didn't I think of this? This is a good idea. Not only can it solve our problems, but it can also provide them with jobs."

Fu Shen smiled and said, "I didn't realize that. Lao Gu is capable. I also think this method is feasible. Having served in the military, one's character is guaranteed."

"It's a well-managed business. Everyone in my family does this, so finding people isn't a problem. It's also easy to find store managers in each location."

Gu Jingmo said, "This is the idea Xia Jin gave me before. When their store was robbed, I found a few retired soldiers for her. So when you mentioned finding people, I remembered it."

Xia Jin said in surprise, "I think we can use them in our factory. First, they can ensure the safety of the workers in the factory. Second, their character is trustworthy to ordinary people."

Fu Shen said happily, "Xia Jin, we both have the same idea. They will definitely be more reliable than ordinary people."
