Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Tips
Wu Li and Huang Wenfa knew that Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming's business was getting better and better, and they were expected to make a lot of money, but they also knew the principle of helping in emergencies rather than helping the poor.
The two sides have been friends for decades. If she and Huang Wenfa asked them to borrow money for emergency, they would definitely lend it to them. However, her family could not keep borrowing money from friends to raise their children.
"If I had listened to you guys earlier, I would have stayed in the county and opened a shop." Wu Li said with a sigh.
It's a pity that I didn't listen to them and stayed in the county to open a store. It's too late to regret now. Zhao Ruyue has already opened her own branch.
Ning Shaoming brought out another apprentice who was ready to become a master. The apprentice had no ambition to open his own shop. He just wanted to work steadily under Ning Shaoming and get a stable salary. After Ning Shaoming asked him clearly, he did not force him.
However, Ning Shaoming feels that there are too many customers in his bakery now. Customers sometimes have to wait in long queues to pick up their items and pay, which greatly affects their shopping experience.
In addition, many customers came from the other side of the county town specifically to buy bread and order cakes, and often complained to him that it was too far to come here and it was inconvenient to eat bread on the spur of the moment, so they had to go eat something else.
After comprehensive consideration, Ning Shaoming decided to open another branch. He had already found a shop on the other side of the city and planned to open another branch and let the apprentice be in charge of the branch's kitchen.
Wu Li felt that it would not be appropriate for her to go back to Huang Wenfa and tell him that she wanted to open a store.
Zhao Ruyue heard Wu Li's worried tone and comforted her, "It's not bad for you to live in a big city. There are many job opportunities in big cities."
"Xiaoyue, if we don't go back, what kind of job do you think would be better for us to take in Pengcheng?
After I learned about Lao Qian's incident, I looked at job postings everywhere every day. However, Wenfa and I don't have a high level of education and no other work experience. It feels like every job we can apply for does not pay as well as the current one. ”
Wu Li and Huang Wenfa both thought that Zhao Ruyue and his wife now had more knowledge and connections than they did, so they might be able to give some advice.
This time they will definitely listen to the advice of Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming.
Zhao Ruyue thought seriously for a while and said, "I have actually thought of a job. The threshold is very low. It does not require academic qualifications or work experience, but only personal ability. The upper limit of income is also very high, but the basic salary is not high, and this job is not stable. You can't have the best of both worlds. If you want to go, you have to think carefully."
"What job?" Wu Li asked hurriedly, and Huang Wenfa beside her also pricked up his ears to listen.
Zhao Ruyue said: "Sales, real estate sales."
They had heard of this, but they knew nothing about houses in Pengcheng: "Can we do this? I see those real estate salesmen are all wearing suits and ties, and they are dressed very well. We look so shabby, and we can't compare with them at first glance."
“Don’t be fooled by their good appearance. In fact, sales people have all kinds of education. How much they can earn depends on their ability. They also have to be good at talking. As long as they make a sale, they can get a commission of several thousand to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. With your Wenfa’s good talking skills, he can even make a fool out of himself. I think he is really suitable to be a salesperson.
Wenfa had no talent in cooking, and being a chef was such a painful job for him, so he might as well try it during his off-get off work time.
Although you are not as good at talking as him, you are very friendly, which is also an advantage. It will be a little tiring to give it a try, and the cost of trial and error is not high. If you don’t try, how do you know that you are not as good as others? ”
Because they have been good friends for decades, Zhao Ruyue was very sincere in her advice to them.
Although Wu Li and Huang Wenfa felt very nervous about going into sales, since they had already decided to listen to their advice this time, they could not back down and let others make decisions for them in vain.
"Okay, let's give it a try. But we have elderly parents and young children to take care of. We can't quit our jobs to work exclusively in sales at the beginning. People don't necessarily want us."
Zhao Ruyue told her: "It's not difficult. You can find a job near your workplace or the property you rent. Tell the person in charge that you don't want a base salary, just commission. You can ask for a lower commission at the beginning. Once you understand the ins and outs of the industry and become familiar with it, then you can consider resigning."
After she said that, all the concerns in Wu Li and Huang Wenfa's hearts disappeared. It was just sacrificing rest time. They had no education or background, and they wanted to earn more money, so they couldn't be unable to bear even this little hardship.
Wu Li and Huang Wenfa took action immediately after get off work the next day.
They first went to the pedestrian street and gritted their teeth to buy a suitable business suit each, and then went to the marketing center of the property near the house they rented.
They plucked up the courage to go in and find the person in charge and explained their purpose. Surprisingly, they were able to become a part-time salesperson smoothly. They also met other part-time salespeople in the marketing center of that property.
Then I realized that it was a bit stupid to grit my teeth and spend money on professional attire so seriously.
In the marketing center, some part-time salesmen are even older than them, who have not even attended primary school or junior high school and have only attended literacy classes. They are local uncles and aunts who wear vests and shorts and flip-flops on their feet!
What they wear does not affect their ability to place orders at all!
This scene seen in the marketing center deeply shocked Wu Li and her husband.
They are full of confidence, hoping that they too will be able to find clients, sell houses, and earn commissions like everyone else.
However, after the first month, neither of them had made a single sale. Neither of them had ever been in sales before, and it was not easy to make a sale without any connections and without the money they, their relatives and friends could afford to buy a house.
Huang Wenfa couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. In fact, he had found a few customers, but they just wouldn't agree to buy. Although he was a good talker, he lacked experience and didn't know what to do.
He often calls Ning Shaoming to talk about each other's recent situation or their children, old friends and classmates.
It was inevitable that some things would be revealed during the chat, and Ning Shaoming couldn't help but worry about his good brother.
It has been over a month since they last asked for work advice, which was back in April, and now it is already May and almost June.
If Huang Wenfa and Wu Li still have no part-time jobs and their children start school in September, and if Huang Miaomiao cannot go to Pengcheng to attend junior high school in September this year, it may take another year to transfer there.
Huang Miaomiao was worried that her parents were working too hard and said she didn't want to go. However, the more caring she was, the more distressed Wu Li and Huang Wenfa felt.
Ning Shaoming saw that this was not going to work, and he couldn't take the initiative to lend money to his brother, so he had to discuss with Zhao Ruyue: "What do you think about us going to Pengcheng to buy another apartment? Just like when we bought a house in Yangcheng, buy a smaller one."
Zhao Ruyue took out the savings slips, took out a few old ones, and put the new ones away.
"That's not impossible, but this is the only money we can use for now. We don't know the current housing prices in Pengcheng, and we don't know if it's enough. If both of them want to make a profit, it's better for them to buy two houses, and each of them can negotiate for one. Besides, we used to buy houses in even numbers in Yangcheng, and it will be difficult to divide them if we buy an odd number here."
Ning Shaoming said happily: "I'll go ask Wenfa if there are any suitable houses. If I can't buy two, I'll buy one first, and then save up some money and buy another one with a similar size."
Huang Wenfa didn't expect that just a few words to his brother would bring him such a big surprise.
He was a little embarrassed for once: "How can I let you spend money? You won't come to Pengcheng to live. It's such a waste of money to buy a house but not live in it..."
Ning Shaoming interrupted him: "We are buying assets for ourselves and can pass them on to our children in the future. How can this be considered a waste of money? You do this part-time, don't you know how fast the price of houses is rising now?
Let’s not talk about Pengcheng, let’s just talk about our hometown county. The house that Ruyue and I bought last year has increased by several hundred yuan this year! What’s more, houses of similar location are not available anymore! ”
Huang Wenfa has a deeper understanding of real estate in Pengcheng since he started working part-time as a salesperson. "That's true. The price of houses in Pengcheng has increased even more. The average price is over 9,000, almost 10,000! Some places have already reached over 10,000. This is incredible. If I worked in a hotel kitchen for a year and saved all my money without eating or drinking, I could probably only buy a toilet!"
In the past, he only heard people say that housing prices were expensive, but this matter had no direct bearing on his own interests, so he didn't feel much about it and just laughed it off.
Now that I am planning to work in this field and have truly understood it, I realize that the price increase is truly outrageous!
He said somewhat frustratedly: "I probably won't be able to buy a house in my lifetime."
"Don't think like that!" Ning Shaoming comforted him, "If you really do a good job in sales, it is not impossible for you to buy a house in Pengcheng in the future.
As an insider, you might be able to get a better price, or instead of focusing on high-priced, in-demand properties, look for areas that don’t seem so prosperous right now and where housing prices aren’t so outrageously high.
Pengcheng is developing so fast that perhaps in a few years, even the currently unprosperous places will become prosperous. ”
"I hope so. How about I look for it for you first?"
Ning Shaoming asked: "Aren't you working part-time at a real estate project? If you go to another real estate project, can you still achieve results?"
Huang Wenfa said: "It's okay, you don't have to worry. I couldn't get any orders before, so I tried all kinds of methods and went to many other real estate companies to negotiate part-time jobs. Anyway, my part-time job doesn't have a basic salary, so I can work for any company as long as I can get orders."
