Xiao Weiguo held up five fingers in front of them.
He said decisively.
"Annual salary, 500,000 per person."
"How many?"
"What?"
Luo Yongjun and Yu Wengui jumped up from the sofa in shock.
"500,000 yuan per person per year, in Chinese currency. Do you understand?"
Xiao Weiguo repeated it again.
Now, it's the two of them who can't reach an agreement.
“Chairman Xiao, you must be joking. Five hundred thousand isn’t even worth selling us eight times over. If you keep joking like this, we’ll turn around and leave, and we’ll never dare to set foot in your door again.”
An annual salary of 500,000? Are you kidding me?
The two of them together make one million a year.
A million! What does that even mean? Neither of them had ever dreamed of having that much money in their entire lives. Even if they exchanged every ounce of their flesh for gold, they wouldn't be worth that much.
Seeing that they refused to believe him, Xiao Weiguo shook his head with a wry smile.
He turned around and called out, "Secretary Fang, come in for a moment."
The office door opened softly, and Fang Mei walked in.
"Chairman, what is it?"
"Draft two contracts with an annual salary of 500,000 immediately and send them in ten minutes."
"Yes, Chairman."
Over the years, Fang Mei has learned through various channels and is now a fully qualified personal secretary.
After hearing Xiao Weiguo's words, she didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left to do her own work.
As for why those two people were paid such high salaries, that's a matter for the chairman and senior management; she wouldn't concern herself with it or ask any further questions.
This is also why she was able to remain firmly by the chairman's side as an amateur secretary without being replaced.
Seeing that Xiao Weiguo was serious, the two had no choice but to believe his words.
"Chairman, are you really planning to give us 500,000 a year? We're nothing special, are we? How could we possibly deserve such high regard from you?"
Even now, they still don't understand why Xiao Weiguo was able to come up with such a frightening number.
Xiao Weiguo pressed down on their shoulders and made them sit up again.
"Brothers, to be honest, if it's not for anything else, just for the great efforts you've made for the country and the people, you're worth this price. Although it's a bit insulting to measure your value with money, as a businessman, all I can afford is money."
Liu Erzhu rolled his eyes as he listened from the side.
Damn it, you bastard.
I've been working my ass off here for you year after year, so why don't you use all that money to insult me?
He's surprisingly generous to others despite his poverty.
In this respect, he misunderstood Xiao Weiguo's intentions.
Luo Yongjun and his companion are indeed short of money right now, and if they receive the money, they will be able to use it where it is needed.
Xiao Weiguo really didn't care about the few dollars for such a good thing that benefited the country and its people.
He felt like he got a bargain by being able to keep two people with this little bit of money.
Of course, Xiao Weiguo himself had no idea how enormous the returns would be from his one million. He also didn't know what surprises Luo Yongjun and Yu Wengui would bring him.
"Chairman Xiao, this...this..."
The two of them stood there, stunned, not knowing what to say.
Xiao Weiguo smiled.
"Now, do you still think I should help you take care of your brothers? Do you still feel that you are not capable of doing so?"
Both of them looked up at Xiao Weiguo at the same time, and Luo Yongjun spoke first.
"Chairman, I'm sorry. We acted impulsively just now and didn't understand your good intentions. Your achievements today are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."
His words were full of gratitude and admiration.
Xiao Weiguo was able to put himself in their shoes and consider their needs. On the surface, this was just giving them a decent income.
In reality, this saved their face and solved their problems. From any perspective, it was a perfect ending for them.
Although they are straightforward by nature, they are not stupid; with a little thought, they can understand the implications.
Her impression of Xiao Weiguo improved considerably, and she felt more grateful towards him.
"but......"
Xiao Weiguo changed the subject and continued.
"Don't think that my 500,000 is so easy to earn. As I just said, I'm a businessman, I'm in business, and there's definitely a reason why I'm offering this price."
"Please speak, Chairman Xiao. To the best of our ability, as long as it does not violate the law or principles, we will do our utmost, even at the cost of our lives."
There's no such thing as a free lunch; everyone understands that. If someone pays a high price, they naturally expect a return on their investment. There's nothing more to say about that.
Xiao Weiguo nodded.
"Gentlemen, as I said from the beginning, we need to establish a special security department. This department will be above the original security department and will be directly managed by Minister Liu and me. You two will be the first leaders of this new department. From now on, the extent to which this department develops will depend entirely on your abilities."
"Furthermore, you will be responsible for assembling the core personnel of this department. I promise you here that those who retire from that place, just like you, will have an annual salary of no less than 100,000."
At this point, Xiao Weiguo paused, picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and continued.
“You should think this over carefully. This task is not simple. The department you are in charge of is very important to me. I don’t want people who are not loyal or have bad character, no matter how capable they are.”
"Do you two understand this?"
Luo nodded to the two men, indicating that he understood.
"Um!"
Xiao Weiguo hummed in agreement and continued speaking.
"One more point: the reason you are in charge of recruiting personnel is because we have considered your comrades-in-arms, some of whom are currently unemployed, and also because of your understanding of the military. Therefore, we try to narrow down the scope to veterans. Firstly, we trust these people and they have higher military skills. Secondly, it can also help solve some employment problems for the country and the local area."
"However, once the staff are in place, the company needs to review each individual, and we hope you can understand that."
After this observation, Xiao Weiguo had a certain understanding of Luo and Yu's abilities and character, and felt relatively at ease with them.
However, given their limited social experience, it is difficult for them to effectively distinguish between good and bad people. Therefore, it is still necessary for the company to conduct an effective secondary screening. Here, Xiao Weiguo must give them a heads-up in advance.
Otherwise, if their friend causes a problem and the application fails, it will be difficult for both of them to save face.
Bringing it up now allows them to be mentally prepared during recruitment, giving the other party a heads-up beforehand, making things easier for everyone.
"Okay, no problem."
The two of them readily agreed.
