That very evening, the news spread throughout the village.
Every family that wanted to make money was eager to try.
After all, Hu Yuan offered a very high salary, which was very tempting to everyone.
Even the village chief, Wang Shengli, was extremely enthusiastic about this matter.
However, Hu Yuan was very clever and knew that the most important person in this situation was Wang Shengli.
After all, whether it's gathering people or giving orders, they all need Wang Shengli, a key figure.
So Hu Yuan privately promised Wang Shengli that he wouldn't have to sell laundry detergent, but he would still be paid a salary.
At first, Wang Shengli absolutely refused, because he felt that he was a respected person in the village and how could he shamelessly take Hu Yuan's money?
This was Hu Yuan's response at the time.
“Uncle, this money isn’t for you to take for nothing! First of all, you’re the one who organizes these people in the village. This is a job I can’t do myself. I need you to help me talk to them and explain the situation to them.”
"If anything happens, you'll need to step in. So this isn't just you getting paid for nothing; it's real human resources work?"
"Huh? What is human resources?"
"Don't worry about what human resources is. Just know that you didn't take this money for nothing, and you'll need to do a lot of help for me!"
"Alright! Since you think I'm useful, then I have nothing more to say. I'll take the money, but you'd better call me if you ever need anything!"
"No problem, don't worry, I definitely won't get away with it!" Hu Yuan replied with a hearty laugh.
The next morning.
As soon as the village committee opened its doors, people rushed toward the neighborhood committee.
Before long, the quota of one hundred people was filled.
Moreover, these were all people who met the criteria and were selected under Wang Shengli's strict control.
After the registration was completed, Wang Shengli divided the people into groups according to Hu Yuan's requirements.
Each group consists of four people, two of whom should speak good Mandarin and two of whom should be good at math.
In this way, the one hundred people were divided into twenty-five groups.
Wang Lun didn't understand this matter at all.
He asked Hu Yuan with a worried expression, "Brother-in-law, do you think these people are capable?"
"Why not?" Hu Yuan smiled and glanced at Wang Lun.
“These people include the elderly and children, and many of them have never left this mountain in their entire lives. I’m afraid…” Wang Lun said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? Just because you can do it doesn't mean they can't." Hu Yuan asked him with a smile.
Wang Lun was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Hu Yuan patted Wang Lun on the shoulder and then said with a smile, "Don't worry! Don't underestimate them. Maybe these people aren't as clever as you, but when it comes to money, they're just as good as you!"
"You know, our business transactions aren't that big, they can handle it perfectly well."
"But even if these people know a little Mandarin, how many people do you think can understand their advertising slogans?" Wang Lun still had some doubts.
"Haha! Don't worry, I've already said it before: our sales won't extend beyond these few counties and cities. The dialects around here are all the same, so what does it matter if they don't speak Mandarin?"
"Actually, I've been paying attention to it too, and Uncle San is indeed very reliable. All of the 100 people he selected have at least an elementary school education, and nearly half of them have even attended junior high school. That alone has completely exceeded my expectations!"
Speaking of this, Hu Yuan was extremely satisfied with Wang Shengli.
After hearing this, Wang Lun nodded, understanding his brother-in-law's thoughts, and admired him even more.
"By the way, brother-in-law, there's something else I need to tell you."
"What's up?"
"It's the loudspeaker broadcasting in that village. I'm worried that when they go to different villages, they might not be able to use those loudspeakers. You know, many villages have a lot going on, and their village chiefs are quite powerful, so getting their loudspeakers to work might be difficult..."
Hu Yuan nodded. "What you said is absolutely right. You know, the village's loudspeaker is arguably the most effective communication tool in the village. It's basically controlled by powerful figures in the village, and it can be considered a symbol of their power..."
"However, I will provide some funds, just like before, to buy cigarettes and alcohol. I will use these to smooth things over with the village officials. That should be fine!"
"Also, we have a backup plan, we brought our own loudspeaker! Although it's definitely not as good as the village's broadcast system, it's better than nothing..."
...
At 2 p.m. that day, the 100 people who had registered arrived on time at the open space of the village ancestral hall.
Many villagers came along to watch the spectacle; it was a dark, bustling scene.
Wang Shengli had already made several announcements over the loudspeaker, and Hu Yuan was also certain that everyone had arrived.
Standing among the group of people counting money, Hu Yuan was the first to ask a question.
"Do any of you have relatives or friends in nearby villages, or in nearby towns and villages?"
As soon as the question was asked, someone immediately responded.
"My sister married into Xiashangouzi Village, which is about 15 li away from our Laoliuzhuang."
"My aunt's family lives in Huangshi Village..."
"My seventh maternal uncle's family lives in Mahe Town..."
After all, everyone has relatives, and these people are basically not from the same village.
Therefore, many relationships can be derived from these one hundred people.
Hu Yuan had Wang Lun and the others take notes on these situations.
You see, once you get these people involved, and then use incentives to motivate them, they will automatically leverage their connections and get their relatives and friends involved.
Under these circumstances, laundry detergent sales can achieve the best results.
After surveying the surrounding area, Hu Yuan quickly divided the area into zones.
They then redeployed manpower to ensure that the surrounding areas were covered.
"I've already assigned villages to you. Each group will be responsible for two villages initially. As for how to sell them, I'll explain that to you later. Remember, each of your groups has a specific target!"
"Each group needs to sell three tons of laundry detergent every day, which is six thousand bags! As long as you complete the task for the day, everyone will receive a bonus of ten yuan. You know, this is an extra reward on top of your three hundred yuan salary!"
"Of course, the more you work, the more you earn. As long as you have the ability to sell more, there is no upper limit to the bonus I will give!"
After these words were spoken, a murmur rippled through the crowd, for such treatment was truly rare.
"But what if someone doesn't complete the day's tasks as you require?" Someone in the crowd immediately asked this question.
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent, waiting for Hu Yuan's reply.
