Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Picking Up a Leak
“So soon?”
Shu Niannian nodded, "Yes, we are already selecting a location. Once the store location is selected, the rest of the process will be quick."
Li Zhigang didn't know what process Shu Niannian was talking about. He was not familiar with Shu Niannian and didn't dare to ask too much, for fear that Shu Niannian would feel disgusted with him. But he now had a very realistic question that he wanted to clarify. Li Zhigang rubbed his hands, looking a little embarrassed to speak, "If I buy some herbs now, where should I put them? You see, my shop is too small, and I don't have a warehouse..."
Li Zhigang's voice became smaller and smaller, his face flushed, and he felt a little embarrassed. Shu Niannian provided him with the capital to buy medicinal materials and took him to do business together, but he repeatedly caused trouble for Shu Niannian. To be honest, if he, Shu Niannian, heard what he said, he would definitely consider whether to continue to cooperate with him.
But Shu Niannian didn't despise him. After thinking about it seriously, Shu Niannian said, "How about this? I'll take care of the warehouse problem, and you just go around the country looking for the herbs I want. But in this way, I'll bear the warehouse space problem and the risk of stagnant inventory. The price I give you will be much lower than the market price, but the quantity of herbs I want is large. In this way, you can still make some money, but the profit margin will not be that much."
Li Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly, "This is natural. Don't worry, I will write down the purchase price of each herb. You can give me a small floating profit based on the original price so that I can have something to eat."
Shu Niannian frowned and said, "In that case, why don't you just join Qingyan like Shaoyao? I'll give you a salary of 200 yuan a month. You need to go out to purchase herbs, which is equivalent to a business trip. The company will pay the travel expenses on a reimbursement basis. The company will compare the quality and price of the herbs you purchase with the same herbs on the market. If you can save money for the company, the company will use the saved money to give you a performance bonus. What do you think?"
Even if there is a salary guarantee, if you calculate it this way, Li Zhigang is still losing money. If Shu Niannian pays the salary, how much will she get? How to send? Then it was all up to Shu Niannian. Compared with getting a fixed salary and setting up a shop to do business on your own, it is more profitable to run your own business. However, Li Zhigang chose to follow Li Shaoyao into Qingyan without hesitation.
His hands were shaking with excitement. "You don't need to give me performance bonuses. Just give me a monthly salary of 200 yuan. I think it's very high!"
Shu Niannian took out the contract she had just signed with Li Zhigang, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the trash can. She smiled and said to Li Zhigang, "Comrade Li, the salary will be paid as usual, and performance rewards must be given. I don't know if you have ever heard of the saying "high salary to maintain integrity". I give you a high salary and high performance rewards to buy your loyalty to Qingyan. Procurement is a job that is easy to get buybacks and breed corruption. I give you a high salary and high performance rewards, in fact, I also want you to be financially satisfied. Then when you face temptation, you will compare your high salary and high performance rewards with the kickbacks given to you by the bad medicine merchants. Is it more cost-effective to take Qingyan's money or the kickbacks from the bad medicine merchants? With me, being unfaithful once is worth a hundred times. I only give all employees one chance, and after using it, you can leave."
Shu Niannian does not doubt Li Zhigang's loyalty now. After all, if it weren't for Shu Niannian, Li Zhigang would most likely be in poverty all his life. But people always change. When Li Zhigang becomes rich enough, will he develop some inappropriate thoughts?
It's hard to say.
Therefore, she chose to speak out the ugly truth in advance. She thought that Li Zhigang was reliable and wanted to give Li Zhigang a hand. She did not want to become Mr. Dongguo.
In the story of the farmer and the snake, she didn't want to be a farmer.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that the simple and kind-hearted Li Zhigang will definitely turn bad.
But we should always be on guard against others.
After hearing what Shu Niannian said, Li Zhigang tried to express his loyalty again, but Shu Niannian interrupted him and said with a smile, "Comrade Li, we still have a long time to spend together in the future. I won't listen to what you say. I want to see what you do."
Li Zhigang nodded repeatedly and agreed.
Before leaving, Shu Niannian asked Li Zhigang to go to Miaoshou Huichun in the afternoon to complete the employment procedures, and Li Shaoyao to go to the medicine shed to work in the afternoon.
After Shu Niannian left, Li Zhigang wiped his tears with his clothes. He had been in poverty for half his life, but who would have thought that in the second half of his life, he would suddenly meet a noble person?
Shu Niannian did not go to the medicine shed in the morning. She and Lin Cheng made an appointment to go see several houses he had selected.
Lin Cheng is now working at Miaoshou Huichun. Although he is called an office worker, he is actually out doing business every day. Once a house is confirmed, the next thing to do is to decorate it. So, he takes the contractor with him to look at houses. Every time he likes a house, he asks the contractor to come up with a corresponding decoration plan.
Ever since he recognized Shu Niannian as his boss, Lin Cheng has felt that time is tight and tasks are heavy all the time. There is no way, Qingyan's development is too rapid.
Yesterday, when he took some time to look at Qingyan’s account, he was shocked!
The shipment rate of Qingyan Cream has increased exponentially and this situation continues.
This shows that Qingyan Cream is very competitive in the existing daily chemical market. He learned from other sources that several daily chemical skin care products such as Dabao and Yashuang are using the sales method of giving away gifts, trying to grab back the market share of daily chemical skin care products, but with little success.
Consumers are not interested in free gifts. They would rather queue up to buy Qingyan, which does not come with any free gifts, than buy Dabao and Yashuang, which offer VIP treatment (several salespeople serving one customer at a counter) and free gifts.
Now that Qingyan is on the rise, we need to quickly renovate the Qingyan store, build on our success and develop national suppliers.
Shu Niannian went to Miaoshou Huichun and told Li Ruyu that Li Zhigang was coming to handle the job, then turned around and went to look at houses with Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng selected three properties, one of which was on the same street as Hongqi Department Store, and one was on the same street as Xinhualian.
These two streets are already very mature commercial streets, and the prices are naturally not cheap. Shu Niannian first looked at these two houses, but after looking at the two houses, she always felt that they were not good enough, so Shu Niannian went to see the third house, which is located on Zijinhua Avenue, just one street away from their new house, Chengde Avenue. Zijinhua Avenue is a avenue that was just repaired last year. It is a government project. The original commercial street was too narrow, with no sidewalks and no two-way streets. Because the road is narrow, it is very crowded with people coming and going. Now just riding a bicycle on the old commercial street can give you a feeling of being shoulder to shoulder. With the development of the economy, if people’s sexual tools are replaced by motorcycles and cars in the future, how crowded will the roads be?
The method of widening the road is simply unrealistic. A mature commercial street is lined with shops of all sizes. Any move will affect the entire structure. If you want to widen the road, you can only demolish the commercial street and rebuild it.
This kind of commercial street has no room for development. In 5 years at the fastest and 3 years at the slowest, this kind of commercial street will definitely be eliminated by the times, and it will be replaced by a commercial street like Zijinhua Avenue with a wide road, convenient front and back traffic, and a relatively large green area.
Now, because Zijinhua Commercial Street is a newly built commercial street and business is not good, the rent is particularly cheap.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Shu Niannian rubbed her hands excitedly.
“How much is the price per square meter of housing in Zijinhua Commercial Street?”
Lin Cheng was stunned. Aren’t they here to rent a storefront? How to ask how much is the house price per square meter?
However, as a qualified and competent subordinate, although Lin Cheng had doubts in his heart, he still gave the answer that Shu Niannian wanted, "The expensive ones are 800-900 per square meter, and the cheap ones are 500-600 per square meter."
Shu Niannian was stunned, "How can it be so cheap?"
This house price is less than half of those in mature commercial streets.
Lin Cheng explained to Shu Niannian, "The development prospects here are far inferior to that of Xinhualian Commercial Street, so the housing prices are naturally very cheap. Moreover, many homeowners who bought houses here regret it to death. They are all planning to sell their houses, but unfortunately they can't find buyers. They are all ready to dump their houses into the ground."
Shu Niannian looked around, pointed at the brand new houses and asked, "Why? These houses are very well built. Both the shape and quality of the houses are above average. Judging from the quality, the houses at Zijinhua are far superior to those at Xinhualian. How can they be so cheap?"
Although Shu Niannian asked this, she could actually guess the reason in her heart. Sure enough, she heard Lin Cheng say, "Although the economy is recovering, there are not many rich people, and most people buy houses for living. The houses on the commercial street are obviously not among the choices for those who need to buy houses. The reason why people buy storefronts on Zijinhua Commercial Street is to make money. They either want to buy low and sell high to make a profit, or want to do business here, or want to rent it out at a high price. However, it has been two years since Zijinhua Commercial Street was built, and there is no sign of development at all. Therefore, the first batch of homeowners are regretting it."
After Lin Cheng finished speaking, he saw Shu Niannian's eyes sparkling with excitement. Lin Cheng's eyelids twitched wildly. No, wait! What does his new boss want to do?
What you fear is bound to happen. Just when an idea popped up in Lin Cheng's mind, he heard Shu Niannian laughing and said, "Contact some landlords and see how many of them want to sell their houses. Spread the word that Qingyan is rich and stupid and wants to buy a storefront to do business. Invite all the landlords who want to sell their houses to come out. As long as they want to sell, we will buy as many as we can."
She wanted everyone on the entire Zijinhua Commercial Street to have the surname Xia.
