Lin Yifeng placed the red envelope on the table and left, satisfied.
Feng Xinghe felt the thickness of the red envelope and nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Yifeng only had so many resources at his disposal when it came to promoting Wallace.
If Lin Yifeng wants to further promote Wallace, he will have to pay a hefty price.
Lin Yifeng doesn't have that much money on hand right now.
After returning from the newspaper office, Lin Yifeng went straight to the labor market and took seven employees with him.
The seven employees were all young women from rural areas.
It's not that Lin Yifeng likes young married women, but the only suitable employees for Wallace right now are young married women from rural areas.
These rural young women, who didn't even finish junior high or primary school, are outstanding laborers.
They feed cattle and sheep at home, do housework, cook for their younger siblings, and can also go to the fields to pull weeds and spray pesticides.
After getting married, she was busy taking care of her husband's family, and she was a particularly good at serving them.
These people are hardworking and capable of doing anything. They don't have the arrogance of state-owned enterprise employees, and since they all have children, Lin Yifeng feels more at ease employing them as Wallace's staff.
Returning to Wallace with seven employees, Lin Yifeng pointed to the relatively busy Wallace and said:
"This is your workplace. I've already told you about the salary and benefits before, and I'll repeat it to you again."
"Each person works twelve hours a day, earns 3 yuan a day, and is provided with lunch."
"The first five days are the training period, and the following week is the internship period. During the training and internship periods, you will receive 1 yuan per day, which includes one meal."
"The first month is a probationary period, during which you will only receive half of your salary. If you perform well and become a full-time employee, the other half of your probationary salary will be paid with the next month's salary."
"I'll tell you about the employee handbook and Wallace's rules and regulations later. Anyone who feels the wages are too low or has other reasons can leave now, and I'll reimburse you for 1 yuan of transportation expenses."
Lin Yifeng took out 7 yuan from his pocket and glanced at the faces of the seven employees in front of him.
The seven employees, all between 18 and 25, looked at Lin Yifeng with restraint and nervousness; not one of them was willing to leave.
Just kidding, in this era of mass layoffs of state-owned enterprise employees, for them to find a job that pays 90 yuan a month and includes lunch is like a windfall.
Do you feel your salary is too low?
A monthly salary of 90 yuan is considered high in Muyang City. Teachers who are paid by the government only earn 70 or 80 yuan a month.
If placed in a rural area...
It's fair to say that the men in their family probably don't earn as much in a year as they do in four or five months.
In rural areas, after deducting the grain tax to be paid, the income from farming is at most four or five hundred yuan a year.
Lin Yifeng nodded slightly and asked, "Okay, who among you can read?"
Four employees raised their hands.
"Who went to junior high school?"
Only one hand remained raised.
"What's your name?"
"Lin Cuilan".
"Oh, from the same clan."
Lin Yifeng's gaze fell on Lin Cuilan, a typical rural young woman. She was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with a large chest, and her trousers resembled men's wide-legged trousers with four or five patches.
"You can keep accounts and do basic math, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
Lin Cuilan nodded vigorously: "Boss, I was a really good student when I was in school. My homeroom teacher always said that if I continued my studies, I would definitely be able to get into a vocational high school..."
In this era, vocational school graduates are far more sought after than high school graduates.
Listening to Lin Cuilan's self-introduction, Lin Yifeng nodded slightly: "Since you went to junior high school, you can be the supervisor for now."
"I'll give you the employee handbook and Wallace's rules and regulations in a bit, and you can explain them to the others."
“I will provide you with five days of training. During this time, your task is to learn and observe more, and memorize the employee handbook and rules and regulations.”
"By the way, give me your ID cards. After you sign the contract, I'll take you to get your health certificates."
Lin Yifeng collected the seven people's ID cards and led them into Wallace.
Wallace wasn't a large place, and when Lin Yifeng and his seven employees entered, it immediately felt crowded.
"Xu Qingyi, give me the employee handbook and rules and regulations."
Lin Yifeng greeted Xu Qingyi, who was busy at work. Xu Qingyi quickly took out several contracts from the cabinet and handed them to Lin Yifeng:
"Boss, here's what you wanted."
"Okay, you can go ahead with your work."
Lin Yifeng handed the items to Lin Cuilan and asked her to take the others to study the contract.
Several rural young women who had dropped out of junior high school, even if they could read, could only understand the general meaning of the contract.
If Lin Yifeng wanted to cheat these people, he could sell them out, and they would still have to help him count the money.
However, this time Lin Yifeng didn't want to even touch the gray area, so naturally he wouldn't cheat these rural women in the contract.
With the contracts in order, after all seven people signed them, Lin Yifeng first took them for medical examinations and health certificates, and then handed over the employee handbook and Wallace's rules and regulations to Lin Cuilan.
With this, Wallace welcomed its second batch of employees.
...
On Saturday and Sunday, Wallace's brand ambassador worked as a cashier at Wallace for two days.
This cashier, who amazed the entire Hebei Vocational University, earned 1.2 yuan on the first day and 0.4 yuan on the second day.
She earned less in two days at Wallace than she did with the seven employees she had just hired who hadn't even started working yet.
Lin Yifeng wanted to give Bai Yejin a "brand endorsement fee," but Bai Yejin refused no matter what.
