Chapter 95
A girl was walking on the street, looking depressed as she glanced at the rows of closed shops on the street.
She couldn't remember how many times she had gone out to look for a job.
Yes, she lost her job and became one of the thousands of unemployed people in City M.
She is luckier than those people because her father still has a job, and the family of three will not be completely unable to afford food because of the financial crisis.
But being out of work is not a long-term solution. In order to reduce her father's burden, she would appear on the commercial street early every morning to find a job to make a living.
Who would have thought that after so many days, she hadn't even seen a single job posting.
Not only was there no one posting, there were even very few shops open.
It looks like today is another day of returning empty-handed.
The girl sighed and prepared to go home after reaching the end.
She walked to the end of the commercial street without any hope, casually glanced at the small shops on both sides, and was about to turn around when suddenly, she froze in place.
Wait, she seemed to have seen a recruitment notice!
White A4 paper with large black characters is pasted on the outside of the glass door, making it particularly eye-catching!
She hurried over and looked with wide eyes.
After quickly browsing the above content, she felt her heart pounding wildly.
Cake maker!
The person they are looking to recruit is a cake maker!
The girl took several deep breaths, forced herself to calm down, and then politely knocked on the glass door.
Half an hour later, the girl came out of the store with a document in her hand.
She dialed the phone immediately, her expression unable to conceal her excitement.
"Dad! I found a job!"
"It's still my old job, baker!"
"Yeah, the salary is good, higher than I expected!"
At the same time, another bakery.
The shop owner looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and shook his head regretfully: "Sorry, business has been slow recently and we don't need any extra staff."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth bitterly: "Okay, sorry to bother you."
After saying that, he turned around and pushed open the glass door heavily.
After leaving the store, he did not go anywhere else, but sat down on the steps nearby, took out a cigarette of unknown brand from his pocket, put it in his mouth, lit it, and smoked silently.
The family can’t hold on any longer.
His wife fell ill and was sent to the hospital. The surgery alone cost 100,000 yuan. His daughter is still young and in elementary school. The whole family depends on him as a big man. If he can't find a job, he must bear the pain and take his wife out of the hospital.
Unable to raise enough money for the surgery, I could only go home and endure it on my own.
Damn it, how could he be so useless! He couldn't even find a job! He used to be a master baker, with all those certifications, all those honors, and over twenty years of experience, and all for nothing?!
"Alin, I'm so sorry... I even gave up the money for your medical treatment..."
The man supported his forehead with his hands, looked down, and sobbed uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from the front.
"Are you looking for a job?"
The man raised his head upon hearing the voice, looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, and nodded: "...Yes..."
The young man looked at him with a smile: "Then can you bake a cake?"
As if realizing something, the man wiped away the tears on his face. "I used to be a senior baker. I didn't make many eggs or cakes, but I'm willing to learn! I have a strong learning ability and can get the hang of it quickly."
"Oh, I see." The young man said with a thoughtful expression, "Come back to the store with me and try it out. If you pass the test, you can stay."
What?! Did they want him to have an interview?
The man was surprised and happy, and quickly got up and followed behind.
After passing two street corners, he saw a dessert shop from afar. There were many people gathered in front of the shop. It was so lively that it didn't look like the Great Depression.
He was about to ask what he needed to do when the young man spoke first, "There are a lot of applicants. You'd better not be careless. We will have an on-site interview outside the store. Passersby and my master will jointly judge the final score. The first place will be hired by my master's store."
The man was quite surprised by the interview process, but when he thought that this was a rare job opportunity for him, he immediately perked up and said yes repeatedly.
As the economy declines, citizens are holding on to their wallets much tighter than before.
Because of this, how could they miss out on the opportunity to make a fortune?
Hearing that a cake shop on A Street was offering free tastings, elderly people and even young people all gathered at the door of the shop.
There were 15 interviewees in total. After layers of scoring and screening by the public, the final one was the winner.
The onlookers were very satisfied with the result.
"His technique is quite skilled, and you can tell he has many years of work experience."
"Yes, and the cakes he makes are softer than others and smell delicious. If they weren't limited, I would want to eat another one."
Listening to everyone's comments, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
He won, and he proved with his own strength that he could become a qualified cake maker!
The man got the job. Although his family was in financial difficulty, he still bought a basket of fruit from outside to thank the store owner and the young man who invited him for the interview.
The young man groaned and waved his hands: "Don't thank me, it's you who are capable."
The shop owner was an elderly man. He smiled and said, "You really don't need to thank us. If you want to thank someone, thank Ms. Song, whom the mayor mentioned in the news this morning. If it weren't for her, our business wouldn't be so good."
The man was stunned for a moment, confused as to how the shop owner's booming business was connected to the mayor. He didn't ask any further questions, only nodded. While changing into his chef's uniform, he took out his phone in the utility room and looked through it.
There are several entries on the hot search, and the word "boiling" is added at the end, which means that the popularity is extremely high.
#Boyue seems to be on fire? The mayor scored twice and praised him#
#Single-handedly driving the dessert industry, what exactly is it about Ms. Song, CEO of Boyue? Let's take a closer look at today's exclusive interview with the mayor#
#GetRichSpirit: The mayor says the best marketing is good intentions#
If being praised by the mayor before was just a coincidence, then today's exclusive interview with the mayor truly shows how powerful Boyue is and how much business acumen Boyue's CEO Song Yue has.
He saved a poorly managed small business from being ranked outside the top 200, and finally received recognition from the mayor twice. This kind of honor is unique to anyone in the entire city of M.
Many people were envious and asked why they didn't have such luck. Of course, some people in the industry also began to feel jealous.
However, even if they are jealous, they can't do anything. Now that Boyue has the mayor's endorsement, any small move they make may be grasped by the public and cause backlash.
Isn’t Luo Baohua’s Baohua Company an example?
They had previously attempted to spread rumors about Boyue, but ended up losing more than they gained. Now their market ranking has plummeted. I heard that clients who had signed contracts with them for several years have stopped cooperating with them and turned to become Boyue's clients.
They didn't want to become the second Luo Baohua and make things difficult for Boyue, so even though they were extremely jealous, they could only endure it silently.
As the copy entered its second month, prices continued to rise.
Although the dessert industry was rescued and boosted a small amount of employment and economy, it is only a small branch of the catering industry. Compared with heavy industries such as real estate, automobile manufacturing, and steel production, it cannot play a fundamental role in reversing the entire M city economy.
On this day, the mayor gritted his teeth and announced: "We continue to face hyperinflation this month, with prices rising by 50% today."
As soon as the news came out, the public wailed again.
The interior of Boyue Company is like a paradise.
Employees work as they should and get paid as they should, and they don't experience any worries about unemployment, salary cuts, or cuts in year-end bonuses.
"It's a good thing I didn't resign. I heard that the company I wanted to switch to announced its bankruptcy yesterday." An employee sighed.
"Yeah, me too, but the one I liked closed earlier than yours. It seems it was gone last week."
"...Mine disappeared on the fourth day."
Others: No, are you guys competing to see who can fall first? Or who has worse vision?
Song Yue sat in the new office, flipping through the accounts for this period.
The sales department has sold all the inventory in the warehouse in exchange for the most direct money.
When the purchasing department learned that the warehouse was cleared, they contacted the factory in advance to prepare for purchase.
In the second lawsuit, 3 million yuan of the 4 million yuan that Ai Tao was required to pay has been returned. According to the police and the court, as for the remaining 1 million yuan, Ai Tao no longer has any saleable property under her name, so it is very likely that the 1 million yuan will not be recovered. I hope she can make preparations in advance.
Song Yue scoffed, "He's lucky."
The 3 million yuan recovered has been used by the financial manager Xiao Peiyan to repay the debt. This repayment has greatly reduced the company's debt. As long as the loan amount is controlled in the later stage, the figures in the account will definitely meet the task requirements before the end of the copy.
In the third month of the copy, prices in City M have been brought under control and have not risen further.
So, in the first two months, prices have risen by a total of 210%.
Song Yue calculated the current assets in the account. The collected accounts amounted to 1.2 million yuan, the transfer of Shang Qingkuan and others in the first case amounted to 1.99 million yuan, the fixed assets were sold for 600,000 yuan, the sales department received 3.5 million yuan in signed orders, and finally the new products that had just been delivered to the warehouse, with a total cost of 500,000 yuan, totaling 7.79 million yuan.
Calculated according to the price, the actual purchasing power is 779/210%=370.95W.
OK, greater than the task requirement of 300W, completed.
As for current liabilities, 3 million yuan was paid back from the 4 million yuan hole created by Ai Tao, leaving 1 million yuan in debt. The 500,000 yuan loan owed to the bank has been cleared, and 700,000 yuan in wages should be paid to employees at the end of the month (increased from 500,000 yuan to 700,000 yuan), totaling 1.6 million yuan.
Also calculated according to the price, the actual purchasing power is 160/210%=76.19W.
Very good, the debt target has also been met.
Remembering that one of the three items he bought initially was still unused, Song Yue asked 099, "Does the mall accept returns?"
The voice in my head hesitated for a moment: […Yes, I can, but I can’t buy it back at the original price. I need a discount.]
"A discount is fine."
It's better than leaving it in the backpack and wasting it.
099 had told her before that financial copies like this would hardly ever be encountered again unless something unexpected happened, so Song Yue felt that it was useless to keep the items and it would be better to exchange them for points.
So I followed what 099 said, put the unused props up for sale, and sold them at 20% off, successfully exchanging them for 24 points, which was considered to be a way to make some money back.
Now that there is no doubt that the required tasks will be completed, Song Yue puts all his attention on the optional tasks.
After the last interview with the mayor, Boyue's ranking rose from 170 to 140. Later, due to several courageous acts of its employees, it was in the news, and the company's reputation continued to rise, and its ranking advanced to 130.
The higher you are in the rankings, the harder it is to improve.
Song Yue thought for a moment, and finally decided to use the most primitive method to increase the company's visibility - gg marketing.
When I told Secretary He about this idea, he was stunned for a moment before saying, "...Mr. Song, we've tried GG before, but the results weren't ideal."
That happened when the company was just starting out, two years ago, and she had just joined Boyue.
The company's marketing department spent a lot of money and energy, hoping to open up the market. However, in the end, all the manpower, money and materials were wasted. Not to mention making a profit, even the costs were not recovered much.
From then on, the company gave up the marketing route and began to focus on retaining customers and building a good reputation among familiar customers.
Doing so did improve the company's performance little by little, but the disadvantages were also obvious. Because the company was too familiar with the customers, it continued to sell to them on credit, which eventually led to a large amount of bad debts that could not be collected at all.
If President Song had not proposed a plan to reduce or waive the penalty for breach of contract two months ago, Secretary He felt in his heart that those so-called familiar customers would probably be so shameless as to not pay.
A lot of things came to her mind, and in a nutshell, she was not optimistic about Mr. Song's marketing strategy.
"Ms. Song, I don't think our company is suitable for the traffic route. The general direction is to carefully grasp the current customers." She said sincerely.
"Really?" Song Yue smiled and leaned back in her chair. "I think we should take advantage of the traffic now while it's still available."
There's still traffic? Secretary He looked suspicious. Where is it? Why hasn't she heard about it?
The author has something to say:
The next chapter ends the copy.
The author has an erection, feels dizzy and aches all over his body, so he will not update in the afternoon. He will lie down for a while and resume updating when he feels better next week.
