No, absolutely not!
Zheng Shouyi shook his head vigorously, "The company has been sold to you. How it's operated is up to you and Boss Gao. How could I possibly feel resentful?"
"That's good!"
Wang Qian nodded and then asked, "Do you want to continue working at the company?"
"Of course I want to!"
Zheng Shouyi finally felt normal again and spoke much more fluently. "As long as you don't kick me out, I can accept a monthly salary of just a few dozen yuan, and I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
"I can let you continue working at the company, but we need to renegotiate your salary and benefits."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Zheng Shouyi was overjoyed and looked at Wang Qian with anticipation.
That was his old business, which he had run for decades. He was willing to pay any salary as long as he could stay.
After all, Wang Qian and Gao Churou already had 100,000 yuan in savings when they made the acquisition.
This amount of money alone is enough for him and his wife to live comfortably in their old age.
He simply couldn't bear to part with it and couldn't let it go.
"From now on, the company will be officially operational, and things might get very busy, so..."
Wang Qian took a deep breath and continued, "I plan to give you a monthly salary of seven hundred yuan. As for future increases in market prices, we will make corresponding adjustments for you in a timely manner."
After a pause, Wang Qian added, "In addition, I will also give you five percent of the company's shares."
Zheng Shouyi was taken aback again.
A monthly salary of 700?
Give him back five percent of the shares?
Did he mishear?
Or did Wang Qian make a slip of the tongue?
"but……"
Wang Qian then changed the subject, saying, "A twenty-year contract must be signed."
"Twenty years?"
Zheng Shouyi was still a little confused. "I could have signed it, but I was already over sixty years old at that time."
"That's alright. As long as you're over sixty, you can just take up a temporary post."
Wang Qian's expression remained cold and stern. "If you agree, I'll have someone print out the contract right away."
"this……"
Zheng Shouyi still couldn't quite believe his ears.
"In addition, you must sign a confidentiality agreement."
Wang Qian continued, "You cannot disclose the company's trade secrets, or the recipe for making black tea beverages, to anyone."
"Of course!"
Zheng Shouyi agreed readily this time, "Since I've sold the company to you, the formula is naturally included. I won't start from scratch."
"Since you agree, I'll go back now and have someone print out the contract."
Wang Qian stood up and said to Zhao Kang and Song Lu, "You two stay here and let Uncle Zheng show you around. Rou and I will go back and print the contracts first."
"good!"
Zhao Kang and Song Lu nodded at the same time.
Wang Qian didn't linger. After paying for the meal, he and Gao Churou left.
Zheng Shouyi did not get up to see him off, but just sat at the table in a daze.
He felt that something was off about this.
But upon closer examination, he couldn't quite figure out what the problem was.
Zhao Kang and Song Lu, sitting next to him, looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle.
...
Not long after, Gao Churou drove Wang Qian back home.
"You were really serious just now!"
Gao Churou couldn't help but laugh and said, "After being scolded like that by you, it will probably take Uncle Zheng a long time to recover."
"no way!"
Wang Qian shrugged. "With his personality, only this kind of forceful method can get him to accept it."
"But didn't you say you'd give him 10% of the shares?" Gao Churou asked, puzzled. "Why did you change it to 5%?"
“If I give him too much at once, I’m afraid he’ll overthink it and think we’re fooling him or making fun of him.”
After a pause, Wang Qian added, "Moreover, giving it all at once is not a good thing."
Gao Churou's heart stirred, and she nodded in deep agreement, "That definitely makes sense."
When giving benefits to others, it's important to do so in batches to create a continuous stream of surprises and motivation.
Giving it all at once may be a pleasant surprise, but over time it becomes desensitizing.
After becoming numb, if there are no surprises along the way, it may even trigger feelings of resistance.
Although she was a few years older than Wang Qian, Wang Qian was far more skilled at managing people.
...
"Brother-in-law, someone is looking for you!"
Just as Wang Qian returned to the main store in the second alley of Beifeng Street, Lin Chao ran out ahead of him and whispered in his ear, "It's that woman from yesterday."
"Which woman?" Wang Qian was taken aback.
"He Miaoyin".
"It's her?"
Wang Qian frowned.
After being tricked away by him yesterday, I thought He Miaoyin wouldn't come back for at least ten days or half a month, but I didn't expect her to come back so quickly.
"Wang Qian, we need to talk!"
Before he could ask any more questions, He Miaoyin's clear, bell-like voice came from inside the shop.
The voice appears with the person.
A woman dressed in casual sportswear, looking capable and stylish, walked out of the store with a half-smile on her face.
"Sorry, I don't have time!"
Wang Qian turned and left.
But He Miaoyin quickly caught up with him, saying, "Whatever it is, I can go with you to deal with it."
"No need, I can handle it myself," Wang Qian said without turning his head.
In his previous life, He Miaoyin, a female detective with exceptional detective skills, was indeed his idol.
But in this life, he avoids it at all costs.
"Then I'll watch you handle it from the sidelines."
He Miaoyin clung to him like a leech, shamelessly following him.
