Rich Sister
Seeing that she seemed to be facing a great enemy, Vice Dean Sun smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. The secretary wants to talk to you about work and life. It's a normal conversation."
Is it necessary for you to call me for a normal conversation?
Chen Jin thought to himself: This is not the first day I’ve been a counselor.
Chen Jin had some idea in his mind, and knew that he would definitely be asked about the company, and then he would probably ask about this year's recruitment...
She was right in guessing this, as the secretary chatted with her, asked about her work and personal issues, and finally turned the conversation to her company.
He didn't say it directly. He first praised her for her excellent products and said that his son and daughter had bought clothes from her brand, especially the newly launched spring sports casual wear, which was beautiful and comfortable.
He also recalled that when he got married, the first set of furniture he bought was made by Nan'an Furniture Factory.
Chen Jin sat upright and accepted the praise.
If the leader insists on praising you, then let him do it. Just sit there and listen carefully. Then smile shyly or wave your hand at the right time: "It's not that great."
If there hadn't been that "haha" after a two-second pause, the secretary would have really thought she was being modest.
"......" The secretary almost couldn't continue. He has always known that Teacher Chen is relatively unique among the faculty and staff of the college.
I had a bad temper when I was in school, but now that I'm a teacher... my temper has become much better.
He always felt that Teacher Chen was serious and responsible in his work, and seemed very rigorous and serious. But he didn't know that Teacher Chen was so immodest.
The "Haha" she let out almost made him burst out laughing.
Young people nowadays...eh.
The secretary was still trying to think of a way around it, but Chen Jin quietly glanced at his watch and asked straight to the point, "Secretary, you are not looking for me about this year's recruitment, are you?"
The secretary was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said yes. Chen Jin said, "Then I'll tell you the truth. My business seems to be doing OK now, but it's only been going on for a little over half a year. Vice Dean Sun knows about this. At that time, I asked him if I could open a company outside. I was just preparing to register the company at that time."
"Yes, I know that."
But at the time I thought it was just a minor matter and didn’t take it seriously. After all, everyone knew that Teacher Chen’s family was well off.
But who knew she could achieve this in just over half a year? !
He even appeared on the provincial TV station during the winter vacation. His wife happened to see the program at that time and said that all the Baiyou clothing stores were sold out.
"My current company is not short of office administrative staff for the time being, but there are no suitable positions for students from our college."
Chen Jin continued, "You may not know this, but although Baiyou makes clothes, we don't have our own production line. We use OEM factories. So the main departments are actually responsible for design and sales."
"Of course, if you guys are willing to go to the sales department, I welcome you. I'm not exaggerating, the minimum income of our sales staff is no less than that of the company."
"But,"
The secretary looked over carefully.
"When I recruited my two factory managers, I told them that I would only be involved in the staffing of important positions and management, and that the other staffing would be handled by the two companies. When the company opened, I also said that no relatives were allowed to be hired. My fellow juniors and I are considered our own people, so it would not be a good idea to directly assign them to other positions."
He glanced at the secretary secretly, and there was no expression of dissatisfaction on his face.
The secretary smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Xiao Chen, don't beat around the bush with me. I understand what you mean."
Then he said seriously, "It has been made clear that the guaranteed job placement for graduates will be cancelled, so we can't do that anymore. What I mean is, if there is a suitable position in your company and our students are suitable, we will give them a chance. Of course, we can't just give them a few places and let us choose from among ourselves."
"How about this? If you have a position suitable for our college students, you can contact the college first, and the counselor will collect the registration list, and we can arrange a time for an interview first?"
Doesn't this mean that he wants her to give priority to recruiting students from his own college under similar conditions?
No problem at all! It doesn't matter who I use. If appropriate, students from your own college would be better.
There was no need to inform Geng Xin and Director Gao in advance about this matter, Chen Jin agreed to it directly.
"I think you shouldn't have too high expectations. After all, our company is a private enterprise. We don't provide food or accommodation, and we don't have welfare housing allocation. Students may not necessarily be interested in it."
The secretary had a complicated look in his eyes, wondering carefully whether she was serious.
Seeing that Chen Jin really thought so, he said, "Why didn't I hear my students say so?"
Chen Jin was horrified and said, "Is it someone who made up a lie? I can't just lie to people. If students accuse me of fraud, won't it affect the reputation of my company?"
The secretary checked the details with her one by one.
"Your company doesn't provide meals, but it provides a 100 yuan food allowance every month. Is this true?"
"It's 120 in Nan'an. The workers there eat a lot."
"Your company doesn't provide housing, but giving you 50 yuan a month as a rent subsidy isn't a lie, right?"
"Oh, no, it's real."
"I heard that your family runs a real estate company, and employees can get internal discounts when buying houses in the future. Is this true?"
"It's my uncle's company, and there are internal discounts for buying houses."
"That's it!" The secretary laughed and said, "Xiao Chen, you are too modest."
Speaking of welfare housing, it existed a few years ago, but it is not so easy to get one now, and there has been talk of canceling welfare housing for several years. Otherwise, where is the commercial housing business out there now?
By the way, this Xiao Chen's family is really...
"When you have time, go talk to students more often. Not all students nowadays want to work in a private company. Working in a private company may not necessarily be better than working in a private company."
Chen Jin, who works in both the company and a private company, said: "Each has its own advantages."
People with ability will not be in bad shape wherever they go.
The secretary originally wanted to chat more and discuss with Chen Jin about the current situation of private enterprises outside. After all, Chen Jin and her family members seemed to all run their own companies. They must know more about the situation outside than he, who was in school every day.
But when he noticed that Chen Jin had looked at her watch for the third time, he asked her if she still had work to do.
Chen Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to tell the secretary that she had something to do.
"I have scheduled a grade meeting with the students this morning, so I have to get ready to go."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy. When I'm free, I'll talk to you about the situation of the private enterprises outside."
Chen Jin hurried back to the office and hurried out again, leaving no chance for others to ask further questions.
Chen Jin went to hold a meeting with students and found that they were surprisingly well-behaved during this meeting.
When I asked the squad leaders to arrange work after the meeting, I casually asked them what had stimulated them.
One of the squad leaders replied honestly: "I was motivated by the two thousand yuan."
Chen Jin raised her eyebrows, it turned out that the news about her company's annual meeting lucky draw had been leaked.
Hehe, that’s pretty good. She spent two thousand yuan to buy an advertisement for her company in Nanjing University.
She doesn't need anyone now, but her company is determined to expand, so she will definitely need people in the future. Let’s give them some publicity first, and then wait for her to kidnap people later, hehe.
She said that she could do the job of a counselor first, as it did have its benefits.
When she comes to recruit people for her own college in the future, won’t she know her students well?
After the meeting, she went back to the office and was interrogated. In the end, she was only willing to give up when she was told to send them membership cards. This almost delayed her from going to the cafeteria for dinner.
Not long after she sat down, Shen Baichuan also came over with a plate of food.
"I have really become the rich lady of our college now." Chen Jin said with a smile: "I just saw Professor Jiang from the Chinese Department. He said, rich lady, why are you here to eat at this time? Haha..."
Shen Baichuan said: "I was also called by our secretary to chat today, and he also asked about our company's recruitment this year. I said that we will start new projects in the second half of the year and then recruit a group of people."
"Hey, you're in sync." Chen Jin picked up the soup next to him and clinked it with his, saying, "So are you ready to start building on your piece of land?"
After all, there will be more and more people in the future.
Shen Baichuan shook his head, "Just squeeze it in for now, I'm short of money recently, I have to slow down."
"Why are you so surprised? I don't look like someone who would be short of money."
"Well, not at all! You said you were short of money, like it was a joke."
"We don't lack small money, but we lack big money."
"Me too. I still have some small money for food and drinks, but I'm still a little short of big money for buying a house and land."
This time it was Shen Baichuan who brought the bowl to her and clinked it, saying, “Come on together.”
The boy who sat with his back to them rolled his eyes and whispered to the person sitting opposite him: "Those two at the back are really good at bragging."
The person on the other side scratched his head and said, "Maybe he is telling the truth."
He is a senior student who graduated from the College of Arts this year. He still recognizes his sophomore counselor, Ms. Chen. The college has been talking about her company's affairs these past two days.
Now they feel a little regretful. A few years ago, their teacher Zhou brought several job offers for them to consider, but they thought they were all private companies and they had never heard of the company names, so they did not consider any of them. In the end, the places where he and his classmates went for internships were either companies within his unit or large companies outside.
As a result, when I came back, I heard from my sophomore juniors that the companies they visited during the winter vacation were all very good, especially Baiyou.
I only now realize that those companies were either run by Teacher Chen or by Teacher Chen’s family!
You should have said it earlier! If I had told them earlier, they would definitely have considered it!
When you work for a teacher in your college, you don't have to worry about encountering a black-hearted company. You might even be given an important position in the company. Isn't that more comfortable than starting from the bench?
The key is, more money means better benefits!
When Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan were lining up to put down their plates, the student in front of them suddenly turned around and asked, "Teacher Chen, I'm Pan Hui, a senior student in the Chinese Department. Is your company hiring recently?"
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the student's neck and face begin to turn red after he finished speaking, he replied, "To be honest, our company has no job vacancies right now. So, you can come to the counselor's office to find me next Monday, and bring your resume with you. If there is a suitable job vacancy, we will contact each other."
"Okay! Thank you, Teacher Chen!"
"You're welcome. Oh, by the way, did you have an internship last semester? I think I saw you in the office asking Teacher Zhou to write a recommendation letter."
"Oh, yes! I went to No. 17 Middle School for internship, teaching Chinese. However, No. 17 Middle School is not planning to recruit teachers this year. If you look at the assignment, you will have to go to the county high school or town middle school under the city."
Pan Hui scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "My family all lives in the city. If I am assigned to the county town under the city, it will be too far away."
"Yeah, it's good to be closer to home." Chen Jin gestured for him to follow the team in front.
After leaving the cafeteria, Shen Baichuan said, “You received one resume, aren’t you afraid that a bunch of resumes will come up to you?”
"What are you afraid of? I'm not their counselor." Chen Jin shook the key ring with his fingers and said, "Look, they all know that I opened a company, but only one person took the initiative to find me and ask about the company's recruitment."
"I'll go ask Zhou Ding about his situation this afternoon." Chen Jin said happily, "I never thought that being a counselor could have this role. I can now be the company's HR manager and ask Director Geng to pay my salary, hehe..."
Director Geng did not pay her a salary, but would only remind her of news about the old department store from time to time.
"The auction time has been moved forward?" Chen Jin sighed in his heart when he received a call from Geng Xin. How could it come so suddenly? !
Before the New Year, the old department store was tentatively scheduled to be auctioned in mid-to-late March, but now it has suddenly been brought forward to March 8th.
Doesn't that mean it's only five days? !
Chen Jin quickly hung up the phone and found the phone number of Liao Ke from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission in the phone book.
"This matter is related to the large piece of vacant land behind Jiefang Road in Dongcheng District. It was originally industrial land, but now it has been changed to commercial land. Wanmin people have taken it over, saying they want to build a new shopping center in Dongcheng District and a Wanmin Plaza. The department store is much smaller in comparison, and it is not easy to tear down and rebuild in that location. Now the department store is afraid that the building will be a waste of money, so they are preparing to auction it off early."
If it was sold before the New Year, would this still happen? Maybe you can sell it for a high price, but now you can just wait to be strangled!
But it’s a great thing for Chen Jin!
During the Chinese New Year, Wei Zhenhua revealed some information, but he didn't know it very clearly. He just knew that Wanmin now had a large piece of commercial land on Jiefang Road in Dongcheng District, and it was very likely that they were going to build Wanmin Plaza.
Now it has finally been confirmed.
Wanmin is gone, but there is still Nansheng, which is also a competitor.
Chen Jin quickly asked the department store's senior management about their attitude, and then said, "Tell me what you can. If you can't tell me, just pretend I didn't ask."
Liao Ke finally reminded: "You have 400 yuan on hand, right?"
"Yeah, I understand. I'll treat you and Brother Hua to dinner some other day."
As soon as the call with Liao Ke ended, Chen Jin hurriedly called his uncle and asked, "Uncle, I heard that a People's Square is going to be built behind Jiefang Road. Is this news true? The land we bought is pretty close, right?"
"Hey! Your uncle Zhuang and I were just talking about this." The uncle confirmed, "The news is correct. Our construction company has taken on a part of the project and will start construction in May."
Chen Jin was ecstatic, "Then please help me analyze whether they are likely to buy the old department store again."
"No." My uncle was very sure.
"What do you mean?"
"Wanmin originally planned to buy the old department store, but the place was not big enough. He wanted to buy several surrounding streets at the same time, but the asking price was too high. It just so happened that Dongcheng District also wanted to build a large commercial center, so he reached an agreement with Dongcheng District and bought the land on Jiefang Road at a low price..."
"By the way, I was just about to call you. The old department store said it will be auctioning off next Friday, which is only five days away. How much money do you have on hand?"
She really didn't have much money on hand. All the company's money was in the account and she had never taken a penny. Now that there is money in the account, he continues to invest in the company.
The 20% that Geng Xin and Director Gao own has become so scarce that no one knows how scarce it is. Later, the agreement was revised to give them a fixed 10% and 7%.
Otherwise, with her continued drive to spend money on expansion, they would probably not be able to keep even 1% sooner or later.
"We can still get five or six million from Baiyou's account alone." She didn't even count the money from Nan'an, because Nan'an still had to update its production line and had just made some money, so there wasn't much money to move around for the time being.
Baiyou is different. After all, they place orders with the processing factory, then put a label on the products and sell them. They are both a storefront and a franchisee, and they have indeed saved a lot of money in half a year.
The reason they save money is that their storefronts are all rented, which is definitely not a long-term solution. The company doesn't have much assets, and if someone puts a chokehold on them and says they won't rent, they won't be able to do anything about it.
"Five or six million is enough." The third uncle said, "If it's more than five million, forget it. With that money you might as well buy another piece of land and build a house yourself."
"I thought so too. The old department store isn't very big." Chen Jin smiled and said, "Uncle, can you help me find a few people to go to the auction together? There will definitely be people in the department store to help raise the price. As for the company, Geng Xin can go over there. I'll write you a letter of authorization..."
The uncle smiled and said, "Okay."
Seeing that he was so happy, Zhuang Youcun asked, "Is Third Sister really planning to buy the old department store building?"
If you ask him, it would be better to buy a piece of land and build it by himself. Once the Wanmin Square in Dongcheng District is built, the old department store will be useless. How much traffic will there be in that area in the future?
"I can't control her affairs. She makes her own decisions." The uncle waved his hand and said, "She has been stubborn since she was a child. If she says she will buy something, she will buy it. I can't control her."
The uncle had an expression that said "I can't control her nonsense", so Zhuang Youcun didn't dare to continue asking.
He felt that Chen Jin had to buy the old department store, maybe he had some other plans.
After Chen Jin called Nie Rong again, he jumped up from the sofa and strode to the backyard.
Sure enough, I saw a cat and a man leisurely sitting under the pavilion in the backyard of the neighbor's house.
How come the situation seems to have been reversed? Wasn't she the one who was leisurely strolling in the backyard before?
"I'm going to the company. Are you guys going out with me?"
Shen Baichuan laughed. This question was no different from directly saying "Shen Baichuan, Daju, hurry up and pack up and go out with me."
When Shen Baichuan carried Daju out of the house, Chen Jin lazily put one hand on the car and the other on his waist.
He looked especially like the rich young men he had seen in the gossip newspapers in Hong Kong before.
Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and get in the car."
As they drove out, Chen Jin muttered, "It's a sin to call people back for meetings and overtime on weekends. It's unreasonable not to buy the building."
But she was overthinking it. Geng Xin, Director Gao and the financial manager, who were called back to work overtime, all had eyes brighter than Daju's.
Their boss was not joking. When she said she wanted to buy a building, she really wanted to buy it!
