As time went by, Lingchuan became more and more adept at business matters, and business gradually improved. The daily revenue increased from 10 or 20 yuan to 70 or 80 yuan, and occasionally even exceeded 100 yuan.

However, with the increasing number of customers, he and Zhou Xiaowei were already too busy to handle it all, and they often had to work until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.

This is not a solution. Sooner or later, your body will collapse from exhaustion.

When looking at the account books at night, Yun Mo took the opportunity to suggest hiring one or two more people to help with the business.

“Now that the business is on the right track, it’s time to make a clear division of labor. Human energy is limited. If you try to take care of everything, you’ll probably end up not being able to take care of anything.

As the boss, you only need to be responsible for the operation of the entire business, customer management and maintenance, purchasing and accounting. You can leave business development and after-sales to others.

With a clear division of labor, everyone performs their duties, work efficiency is improved, and business will get better and better. "

Following Yun Mo's suggestion, Ling Chuan began to look for salesmen, while delivery and inventory management were left to Zhou Xiaowei.

Just two days after the recruitment announcement was released, Deng Zhi came to the door.

Since they were all family, Deng Zhi didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

After the failure of the electronic watch business and the pager business, Deng Zhi went back to his old business and started repairing motorcycles.

However, the competition in the maintenance industry is too fierce now, and the Deng family has not made much money, so they live a tight life.

In order to earn more money, Deng Zhi's two sons have now gone to work in other places, leaving only him, his wife Feng Cuihua, and eldest daughter-in-law Liu Shuang at home.

Liu Shuang is pregnant now, and Deng Zhi and Feng Cuihua don't dare let Liu Shuang go out to work. Feng Cuihua thinks about her going out to find some work to supplement the family income and save some money for milk powder for her unborn grandchildren.

So when Deng Zhi heard that Lingchuan was recruiting, he came immediately.

"Chuanzi, although Aunt Cuihua is over 40, she is a good worker and smart and capable. Do you think you can let her try?"

Ling Chuan had never thought of hiring a female salesperson, and was a little embarrassed for a moment, "Uncle Zhi, can you let me consider this?"

Deng Zhi was also a straightforward person. He said with a smile, "Okay, that's fine. I just came to ask. Don't make it difficult for me. If it doesn't work, forget it. I'll find another job for your aunt."

In the evening, as soon as Yun Mo got home from school, Ling Chuan told her about this.

After listening, Yun Mo said directly, "Why don't you agree?"

Ling Chuan was a little stunned by the question and said hesitantly: "Although Aunt Cuihua is capable, she is still a woman after all..."

"What's wrong with women? Sometimes women's abilities are beyond the imagination of you men. Do you look down on women?"

Seeing that he was misunderstood by his wife, Ling Chuan hurriedly explained: "Momo, I don't look down on women. I just think running a business is too hard, exposed to the wind, sun and rain. I'm afraid Aunt Cuihua can't bear this hardship."

If it were him, he would never let his wife go out and work no matter how poor he was.

Yun Mo disagreed. "Whether it's hard or not, it's Uncle Zhi and Aunt Cuihua's own choice. You are not a fish, how can you understand the joy of a fish? You feel it's hard, but for Aunt Cuihua, being able to make money to support the family may be the greatest happiness and satisfaction."

In this way, Feng Cuihua became the second employee under Ling Chuan after Zhou Xiaowei.

At Yun Mo's suggestion, Ling Chuan developed two salary calculation methods for Feng Cuihua.

One is a high base salary with responsibilities, with a fixed salary of 30 yuan per month. The employees are required to meet the corresponding number of customers and sales performance. If the requirements are not met for two consecutive months, their salary will be reduced or they will be dismissed.

The second type is a no-responsibility system, with a base salary of 10 yuan per month and the rest of the income is based on performance commissions, the more you do, the more you get.

Feng Cuihua chose the second one.

The day after signing the employment contract, Feng Cuihua officially started her job.

Although it was just a small order of 10 yuan, it was a great success for a novice like Feng Cuihua.

Feng Cuihua is a typical housewife. Apart from occasionally helping her husband to look after the repair shop, she has never had a proper job. She doesn't know how to dress up, and she looks rustic and old-fashioned.

But this middle-aged woman with an unremarkable appearance, relying on her straightforward personality and eloquent tongue, persuaded a lady boss of a cosmetics shop to take goods worth 10 yuan from her.

The smooth progress of the first day not only surprised Lingchuan and Yunmo, but also made Feng Cuihua full of motivation.

Compared with the smooth sailing in Lingchuan, Lingjiang encountered difficulties.

Ever since Ling Jiang became the head of the family, Li Li could no longer get money from Ling Jiang, so she actually set her sights on the goods stored at home.

Although Ling Jiang kept count of his daily transactions, he did not count the inventory at home all the time.

Until this day, he planned to take stock of the accounts for this month's business to see how much money he had earned. As a result, he found that the accounts and inventory did not match.

The hundreds of items that Ling Chuan had taken away before were returned later, and the total number of items Ling Jiang had on hand was still 1,200 items.

He sold a total of 685 items, but there were only 310 items left in stock at home, leaving a gap of 205 items.

At first, Ling Jiang thought he hadn't calculated clearly, so he brought the goods from home and a small notebook to find Ling Chuan and Yun Mo.

The couple each helped Ling Jiang count, and found that there were indeed 205 items missing.

Ling Jiang subconsciously suspected: "Did the house get robbed?"

There is definitely a thief, but it is hard to say whether he is an outsider or a domestic thief.

Yun Mo said calmly, "Brother, let's report it to the police. Although 200 pieces of jewelry are not a lot, if we let the thieves have their cake and eat it this time, they will suffer even greater losses next time."

Ling Jiang agreed to report to the police without hesitation.

200 pieces of jewelry, including the purchase cost and travel expenses, would cost about 20 yuan. He might not be able to earn that much even if he worked for a week, so he couldn't afford to give up.

Afraid that Ling Jiang couldn't handle the matter alone, Yun Mo asked Ling Chuan to accompany her to the police station to report the case.

However, before Ling Chuan went out, Yun Mo specifically called Ling Chuan back into the house to talk.

"When you go to Big Brother's house, pay attention to Big Sister-in-law's reaction."

Ling Chuan is also a smart man and immediately understood what his wife meant.

After receiving the report, the police station immediately sent two investigators to the Ling family to investigate.

It was lunchtime and the neighbors were all eating at home. When they saw Ling Jiang bringing the police home, they all came over with their bowls in hand to join in the fun.

Some people couldn't help but feel curious when they saw police officers in uniform checking and patrolling everywhere in the Ling family's compound.

"Ling Jiang, what are you doing?"

Ling Jiang replied with a sad face: "My house was robbed and 200 pieces of goods were stolen."

Upon hearing this, the neighbors who were watching were immediately in an uproar.
