Chapter 1
Wang Xinghua’s 200,000 yuan shopping cart made Jiang Qi deeply aware of the destructive power of the character card description “extremely materialistic desires”.
Old John, who has very little desire for material things, has no problem sleeping on the street if he can't live in a wealthy neighborhood.
Wang Erya, who has almost no material desires, only needs three meals a day.
Huang Fugui, who does not have high material desires, is content with just living a decent life and is fine with a 10-yuan haircut. He is in charge of the pocket money of three people and never spends it indiscriminately.
Although Lili is a naughty child who likes to buy expensive dolls, naughty children also have their advantages. As long as there are rational parents (Wang Erya) to supervise them, naughty children will cry and make a fuss about what they want, and then they won’t be allowed to buy it. It is easy to fool them.
Besides, Lili has little education, so as long as she is willing to put in the effort to fool people, she will definitely succeed.
But Wang Xinghua is different.
This is a man with a lot of experience, good culture, and he has received the elite education of her time. He has a father who loves her unconditionally and is willing to sacrifice his life for her and can make a decent amount of money.
She had only learned how to shop online for a few hours and probably didn’t even know a few luxury brands, but her shopping cart was already full of luxury items of brands she didn’t know.
If there are no set rules, Wang Xinghua might start studying labor law in a few days.
Jiang Qi went back and studied until three in the morning. He typed out three or four solutions on the computer and finally selected the best one.
The consequence of going to bed late is getting up late. Jiang Qi didn't even make it to breakfast the next day. When he woke up, Jiang Bing had already returned and was sorting out the spoils in the room.
Jiang Xiaohong went to purchase goods, and Jiang Bing also went to purchase goods. They bought a sack of clothes at wholesale prices. When they went out, they just carried a bag on their backs, and when they came back, they were still dragging a sack.
Jiang Qi stood at the door of Jiang Bing's room with his eyes half open, not yet fully awake, looking at the new clothes with labels covering the bed and the carpet, with question marks all over his head.
"Sis, if there's nothing wrong with my memory, it's November now, right?"
"Yeah, are you stupid because of sleeping? Why are you asking this?" Jiang Bing was trying to sort the new clothes she bought by color.
"Winter is coming soon, why did you buy so many spring, autumn and summer clothes? You should at least buy a sweater!" All Jiang Qi saw were skirts and shirts.
"I'd love to." Jiang Bing said, "Stop interfering in your sister's affairs," and continued to sort out the spoils while humming a tuneless little song.
"By the way, sister, the store hired a new full-time employee yesterday. He is from the same hometown as Qinghe. He graduated from high school and came out to work. He now lives in the same room with Qinghe. You will meet him when you go upstairs to eat at noon."
"Qinghe's fellow countryman, what's his name?"
"Wang Xinghua."
After a simple wash, Jiang Qi went upstairs with his computer to announce the new living expenses and bonus system to everyone. The cavalry was also curious and followed him up to listen.
"Bonus?" Wang Erya didn't quite understand what she heard, and she stopped sewing. "Boss, can you say it again? I don't quite understand."
"To put it simply, the original living expenses will remain unchanged. I calculated last night that everyone's previous living expenses and pocket money averaged 1,800 yuan per person per month, so I will just round it up to 2,000 yuan. This money will be given as usual, except for Lili, whose living expenses will be halved because she doesn't need to eat, the rest of the people will get this amount."
"It's 9,000 yuan a month. I will give this money directly to Uncle Huang every month. The average of the balance after basic expenses each month is everyone's pocket money. If you want to buy extra things, ask Uncle Huang for money. Uncle Huang, is it okay for you to manage this money?"
"No problem." Huang Fugui said happily. He didn't mind managing the accounts at all, and among all these people, he was the most suitable one to manage the money.
"Of course, the 2,000 yuan per month is just the basic living expenses. Other expenses are not included. For example, rent, clothes before the season changes, and the mobile phone that Xinghua wants to buy. By the way, Xinghua, do you need to buy daily necessities such as toothbrushes and towels?"
Wang Xinghua shook her head, indicating that she was a ghost and did not need the basic necessities that humans needed.
“The cost of upgrading stars is not included.”
"Of course, some people may ask, what if the things you want to buy are too expensive and you may not be able to afford them even if you save your pocket money for a year? For example, the windbreaker that Xinghua wants to buy costs 12,999, and the doll that Lili wants to buy costs more than 10,000 yuan. It is difficult to afford them just by saving pocket money."
"That's the point I just made, the bonus."
"As your boss, I provide food, accommodation, living expenses and pocket money, but I still have to give you basic performance bonuses."
"Everyone, take a look at this table."
"Like Old John, who usually takes the book, gets a 10% commission."
"For important NPC appearances like Lili's "Horror Doll House", I'll get a 5% commission."
"Less important NPC appearances, such as the boss appearances and simple scares in "The Grudge" that Lili was responsible for before, cost 20 yuan each time."
"Milk tea production, 10% commission."
"For the net, 30% commission, based on the actual selling price."
"If other products are added later, I will also update the new commission table."
"All the bonuses will be kept with me first. If you need to buy anything extra expensive, just come to me. If you have enough money, buy it. If you don't have enough, save up slowly."
This bonus plan was tailor-made by Jiang Qi for Lili and Wang Xinghua to tell them the importance of earning money through labor.
Under normal circumstances, the daily consumption of the other three people would not reach the point where they would need to use their bonuses.
Because Lili's work was too much and her value was too high, Jiang Qi could only secretly reduce the commission for playing ghosts. Otherwise, he was worried that there would be an embarrassing situation where Lili could only buy one or two dolls a month when she asked for dolls, but after changing to the bonus system, she could buy three or four dolls a month.
In this way, Lili will find that her previous 007 work system was completely exploited by her boss.
Lili can choose to change jobs. She is an external employee and her job-changing is protected by the game system.
After reading the bonus system, Huang Fugui blurted out: "Boss, how can this be possible? How can we ask for money for work?"
Even though he has now become a middle-aged man who has perfectly integrated into modern society and is keen on going to supermarkets to grab discounted eggs, flour and rice, the inherent ideas in his mind have not changed.
He still defines himself as Jiang Qi's long-term worker who signed a contract to sell himself.
How could a farmhand who signed a contract to sell himself get paid?
"Yes, boss, how can I ask for money?" Wang Erya agreed.
Her goal now is to work hard to help Jiang Qi make money and demonstrate her own value. If she takes another share of the money, it will affect the money she helps her boss make!
Old John:?
Is there something wrong between you two?
Old John took out his cell phone and took a look at the average price of houses in the wealthy neighborhood he had his eyes on. He also roughly calculated in his mind how much bonus he could get per month in the future. Suddenly, he felt that it would be better not to take the bonus.
I can't live there anyway.
It would be better to hope that Jiang Qi would work hard to make money, get rich soon, and help him fulfill his only wish.
Jiang Qi: ...
Jiang Qi suddenly felt that if he could become a truly qualified and outstanding capitalist one day, his outstanding employees would deserve credit for this.
Jiang Qi looked at Wang Xinghua.
Wang Xinghua is the most educated among the group except Old John. She is also the one with the highest material desires, the one who needs bonuses the most, and the one who is most likely to make suggestions.
In the end, Wang Xinghua had no objection at all. She was calculating in her mind how many NPC cameo appearances she had to make in order to be able to afford the windbreaker she had set her eyes on last night.
At 20 yuan per show, she had to make 650 guest appearances.
Wang Xinghua asked Lili in a low voice: "Lili, how many times do you scare people in a day?"
Lili thought for a long time and said, "Maybe 4 or 5 games."
Since the store bought so many horror books, the number of customers playing horror books has increased significantly, and more than half of the sessions in a day are horror book sessions.
It would take 130 days to have 5 shows a day. Even if she didn't do anything and saved up 2,000 yuan a month for living expenses, it would take at least 3 months to buy the windbreaker she wanted.
But she wanted to buy not only the windbreaker, she also wanted to buy a lot of clothes, cosmetics, and skin care products. Although skin care products were of no use to her, she just wanted to buy them.
Thinking of this, Wang Xinghua couldn't help but sigh. Why is her boss so poor?
It would be nice if her boss was a rich young man.
"Boss, I remember you told me yesterday that you wanted me to play the role of me in Red Tears. Is the commission for this 20 yuan or something else?"
“5%.”
"What's the total price?"
"Tentatively, 198 per person, a total of 9 people."
Wang Xinghua did some calculations and it was 89.1 per game.
Better than 20 yuan.
"Then boss, can you schedule more showings for Red Tears? It would be best if you could schedule four shows a day." Wang Xinghua didn't know how long a show lasted. She thought it was like singing an opera, with each show lasting more than an hour. It would be impossible to schedule four shows a day without straining your throat.
Jiang Qi:?
Do you want Bei Ru and Liu Lan to die suddenly?
Even if they both died suddenly, they could only perform 4 games a day at most.
"One or two a day at most." Jiang Qi said, "It's not up to me to decide. It's up to the customer."
"Okay." Wang Xinghua seemed a little disappointed, and then she stared at Luozi again.
The commission for Luozi is the highest, 30%!
"Boss, how much does a piece of silk cost?"
"Sister Xinghua, Lili knows." Lili actively raised her hand to speak.
She had actually spent a long time calculating how much money she could earn in a month, but she couldn't figure it out at all. Basically, she couldn't figure out any calculation where the final result exceeded 10.
"The five-colored rope is 98, and the other ropes are 29 and 39." Lili moved the rope she had just woven to float in front of Wang Xinghua, "Lili, hurry up, one rope in 20 minutes."
Wang Xinghua's eyes lit up.
It takes 20 minutes to write one post, and based on the price of 39, the commission for one post is 11.7. If you work 24 hours a day without rest, you can get 842.4!
Buy a windbreaker in just 15 days!
Moreover, Wang Xinghua has a unique skill that she developed during her years as a ghost: the ability to do many things at once.
Like Lili, she can control anything she wants through the void, and she also has hands. When she was mending clothes before, she could control 3 or 4 needles and multiple threads at the same time.
If Lili is one of Wang Erya's fellow villagers, then Wang Xinghua is one of several fellow villagers.
She knows how to knit, and it is no problem for her to knit two or three strips at the same time without making any mistakes.
In this way, you can buy a windbreaker by working hard for a few days!
Wang Xinghua felt that the things that Jiang Qi had deleted from the shopping cart, as well as a series of her favorite items such as cosmetics and skin care products that she had not had time to add to the shopping cart, were waving at her.
Wang Xinghua began to study the patterns of the lace.
Jiang Qi who witnessed all this:?
Don't you have any opinion at all?
Don’t you think this commission is too low?
It shouldn't be.
Jiang Qi asked tentatively: "Xinghua, do you have any ideas? If you have any ideas, please feel free to raise them."
"No."
"Really nothing at all?"
"No." Wang Xinghua was a little confused by the question. "It's pretty good. There's also wages. My father never pays wages to those who have signed a contract to sell themselves in the opera troupe."
Jiang Qi:?
The capitalist turned out to be Mr. Wang.
"Don't the people in your father's troupe have any objections?"
"Of course I have no objection. My father is the best troupe owner in our city at teaching apprentices. He has trained many famous actors. If you become a famous actor, you will have money. Although you don't make money from performing, the tips from the customers will be shared with the beneficiaries. You can save up the money and redeem yourself. If you are lucky, you can even set up your own troupe and buy a theater. This way, when you can no longer perform, you will have money and can help your family."
"My dad was a famous star back then."
"In fact, I wanted to learn opera when I was little, but my father said that opera singing was a low-class profession. If I was whipped, I would probably die, so I couldn't learn opera. Huang Li and the others were all whipped and beaten with sticks by my father when they were little."
"Sister Xinghua, how much money do you need to save to redeem yourself?" Wang Erya asked. "When I was alive, I also wanted to save money to redeem myself, but I didn't know how much money it would take, and later all the money I saved was stolen. I was beaten to death by the steward, and the landlord was afraid that I would die in the backyard and it would be unlucky, so he had me thrown out, so I volunteered to redeem myself."
"Didn't your master ask someone to buy you a coffin?"
Wang Erya shook her head.
"That's too much. The dead need to be buried in peace. In our area, except for those very small opera troupes, if they beat someone to death, they would just roll up a straw mat and bury him. If a normal opera troupe beat someone to death, they would buy a thin coffin and bury the person. Sometimes they would burn some paper money to pray that the person would not turn into a fierce ghost and come back to take his life."
Jiang Qi: ...
What kind of devilish communication is this?
"Xinghua, you haven't told me yet, how much is the redemption fee?" Jiang Qi was also very curious.
"It depends on the fame. Some are calculated by silver, some are calculated by dollars. Whichever is more valuable is used. If calculated by silver, an ordinary person can usually redeem herself with about ten taels of silver, and a red-haired girl can usually redeem herself with less than a hundred taels. If she is like Huang Li, who marries a young master of a wealthy family as a concubine, it will be more expensive. Anyway, it is the young master who redeems her."
"On paper, Huang Li spent 130 dollars to redeem herself. My father took 100 and Huang Li took 30. She herself said that the young master was just a fool with a lot of money."
"It's a pity that Huang Li died of tuberculosis. If she hadn't had tuberculosis, she might have been able to run away with more money when the young master's family collapsed. My father praised Huang Li for her smartness. I remember hearing that the young master's family collapsed a few years after I died."
"How much does it usually cost when you buy it?"
"The expensive ones are more than one or two taels, and the cheap ones are a few cents."
Jiang Qi: ...
What's going on with your troupe?
Except for the patriotic pillar, everyone else is a villain, right?
Compared with Mr. Wang, Jiang Qi is indeed a conscientious boss.
Perhaps because of the sudden mention of the past, Wang Xinghua's chatterbox nature came to the fore, and she couldn't help but say a few more words: "Actually, my father is a pretty good person. Everyone in the troupe likes him very much."
"The troupe bought people, and they had to pay for their food, clothing and other expenses, as well as taxes and protection fees. A good costume cost dozens of dollars. My father was able to send me to a Western-style girls' school because the troupe's business was booming and they could make money."
"Although no one gets paid, as long as the troupe does good business and can expand, it will benefit everyone. Ordinary people cannot read a single word, and even if they save enough money to redeem themselves, it is difficult to find a lucrative job. It is better to stay in the troupe for life, and do odd jobs when they can no longer sing. As long as the troupe has money, they will not lack this meal. Even if you don't get married, when you die, someone will buy a coffin for you and bury you, and someone will burn paper money for you."
"But this is based on the premise that the troupe's business is booming and the troupe owner is rich, so that everyone can live a better life. Being a maid or a concubine is the same."
"Although the maids of wealthy families may be beaten to death, they are still maids. At least they live better than the maids of ordinary families."
"Although the concubines of wealthy families may be beaten to death, given away, or sold to others, the chances are much smaller."
Wang Erya nodded seriously in agreement. When she was waiting in line to be reincarnated in the underworld, her biggest dream was to be born into a good family and become a maid in a wealthy family in her next life.
Old John, who felt out of tune with his colleagues: …
Compared with feudal society, capitalism has made considerable progress.
Wang Xinghua was finally exposed: "So, Boss, it would be great if you were rich. You are so poor now, and we are all maids in poor families. We can't even afford clothes and jewelry."
"Boss, can you work hard to make yourself rich?"
Jiang Qi: ???
Tell me the truth, did you just say such a long sentence just for this last sentence? !
Lili felt that she had been convinced and she felt that she had realized something.
It turns out that the reason why Banban couldn't buy dolls as he pleased before was because he wasn't rich enough and his family wasn't wealthy.
"Come on, Banban!" Lili encouraged sincerely.
Old John thought of the community he had his eyes on.
"Come on." Old John spoke for the first time.
"Come on, boss!" Wang Erya echoed.
Huang Fugui thought about it and joined everyone: "Come on, boss."
Jiang Qi: ...
Why did he suddenly feel ashamed just now?
It was because he was too poor that he was unable to give his employees the good life they wanted.
Obviously he is just a young boss. In order to prevent Wang Xinghua from spending money recklessly and causing a situation where the problem is not so much lack but inequality, and to let her know the value of money and how difficult it is to make money, he came up with such a bonus system.
Why did Wang Xinghua's words just now make it seem that he was responsible for the bright future of five employees, and whether they would have a prosperous life in the future depended on whether he could make money?
The worker turned out to be himself.
Jiang Qi went back in a daze.
He always felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
What exactly is wrong?
