Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Instead of writing poetry, it is better to make money
"Oh my god, we actually sold both jars of zaolu. We are really amazing."
Xie Xiaoju was so happy that she sold out all the items on the first day of setting up the stall.
Jiang Xi also smiled brightly: "You sold a lot of portions today, that's impressive. In a few days you'll be able to sell the whole thing on your own."
Xie Xiaoju's smile disappeared: "Jiang Xi, didn't you say you would take me with you for a few days? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Jiang Xi couldn't keep bringing Xie Xiaoju to set up a stall in the cinema. She also had to open a shop and would have to leave sooner or later. He brought this up now just to give Xie Xiaoju a heads-up and to encourage her to learn faster.
So when Jiang Xi heard Xie Xiaoju's question, he smiled and said, "You learn so quickly. I think you'll be able to get the hang of it in two or three days. I want to open a shop in the future. After I buy the shop, I have to renovate it, which will take a lot of time and energy. My focus will be on the shop in the future, so I can't always set up a stall with you at the cinema. But don't worry, you can come to me if you need anything in the future. If I'm particularly busy, I will find a way to help you."
Xie Xiaoju's eyes sparkled: "Jiang Xi, you are really amazing. It's only been a short time, and you've already opened a shop."
Jiang Xi painted a blueprint for future employees: "You can do this too. As long as you manage your stall well, you can make a lot of money and own your own store in the future."
At present, the form of cooperation between Xie Xiaoju and Jiang Xi is that Jiang Xi pays her a salary, but later Jiang Xi plans to wait until Xie Xiaoju has a certain amount of capital, and then let Xie Xiaoju, like Wu Youli, buy goods from her and set up her own stall.
In this way, Xie Xiaoju can make more money, and it can also be regarded as a good example to help Jiang Xi recruit more people. By that time, Wu Ji Zao Lu will be sold in every street and alley, so Wu Ji Zao Lu will surely become famous.
Xie Xiaoju was full of longing for the future that Jiang Xi talked about. She hugged Jiang Xi's arm and said, "Then I will study hard with you and make a lot of money in the future!"
Jiang Xi patted Xie Xiaoju on the shoulder and said, "You are a teachable boy. Instead of writing poetry, it is better to make money."
After selling the braised pork, Jiang Xi went to the steel plant's staff quarters as it was still early. He encouraged the regular salespeople and the unofficial salesperson, the security guard. Jiang Xi had to ask him how the sales were going.
"Xiaoju, you go back first. I'll go back by myself later."
Xie Xiaoju knew that Jiang Xi had other things to do: "Then I'll go back first. Do you need me to push the bike back?"
Jiang Xi shook his head: "It's okay, I'll push it back. My uncle is still setting up a stall in front of the steel factory. I guess he hasn't left yet. I'll go back with him later."
"Well, then drive slowly." Xie Xiaoju was excited after receiving her day's salary. She planned to go to the street to buy some delicious food. She had just seen a man holding a meat pie and was very greedy. Now she could finally buy it and eat it. She waved to Jiang Xi and disappeared.
Jiang Xi pushed his bicycle and came to the steel plant’s staff quarters.
When the security guard saw Jiang Xi this time, his attitude was more friendly than before.
In fact, he had been looking out the door since early morning. When he saw Jiang Xi coming, the security guard hurried over and said, "Little girl, I thought you weren't coming."
Jiang Xi laughed and said, "How is that possible? I promised to come and I will definitely not break my promise. Uncle, we have just started working together, so you don't know my character yet. You will know after we work together for a long time. I always keep my words."
The security guard was still a little unconvinced. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Little girl, do you still mean what you said before? You said you'd give me a ten-cent commission for every share I sold. You weren't lying, were you?"
Jiang Xi was delighted. The security guard asking this meant that he must have received some orders.
Jiang Xi immediately assured him, "Uncle, just trust me. I'll give you a ten-cent commission for every order you get. If I cheat you, you can contact the police and we can sign a formal contract."
These days, most people are very afraid of the police, let alone taking the initiative to ask the police for help. Jiang Xi said this, and the security guard believed him.
The security guard took out a notebook with names and numbers densely written on it. He had only been to school for a few years and did not recognize some of the words, so he circled the words he could not write. He was the only one who could recognize the accounts in the notebook.
"Look, little girl, these are the things I ordered these two days." The security guard said, pointing to the notebook.
Jiang Xi glanced at him in surprise and said, "Uncle Security Guard, you're amazing. You probably sold more than 20 copies in the past two days?"
The security guard blushed a little at the sudden and direct praise, but Jiang Xi didn't care at all. Of course, the way to motivate employees is to praise them when necessary. She has used this trick on Wu Youli and Xie Xiaoju, and it has always worked. Now it seems that the security guard is also fooled by it.
Although Jiang Xi had never managed a business or been a boss before, during these days of interacting with Wu Youli and Xie Xiaoju, Jiang Xi figured out a set of methods, which unexpectedly turned out to be quite useful.
And the security guard is also worthy of praise. Although twenty servings are not a lot, it is a good start.
While praising, Jiang Xi took the security guard's notebook and prepared to copy it. These accounts must be backed up to facilitate future sales statistics and market analysis.
Jiang Xi took the notebook and saw the circles on it. He couldn't help but frown. The security guard was a little embarrassed: "I only went to school for a few years and I can't write some words."
Jiang Xi said gently: "Then please explain to me what this circle represents."
The security guard has a good memory and all the people who come to him to order things are acquaintances, so even if he draws circles, he can still say the name accurately.
Jiang Xi carefully copied down each name and the corresponding number of copies. "Uncle, we will be doing business for a long time. I hope you can write these orders as clearly as possible. Even if you can't write, you can use pinyin to mark them. This will greatly reduce our communication costs. Otherwise, as the orders increase in the future, it will be very troublesome for you to explain this to me every time."
Jiang Xi speaks his mind. He praises what is done well, but he cannot just let go of the bad things just for the sake of face, as this will be detrimental to future management.
Although the security guard is just an extra-staff salesman, he also represents the image of Wu Ji Zao Lu. Jiang Xi still has certain requirements for the security guard.
The security guard agreed: "What about the commission?"
Jiang Xi closed the notebook and said, "Uncle, I'll deliver twenty servings of braised pork to you tomorrow. Please help me distribute them and I'll give you my commission. Don't worry, I'll give you as much as you sell."
Jiang Xi was still cautious and did not give the security guard commission immediately. Although the security guard had written down the order, Jiang Xi could not figure out whether the order was true or not. He simply waited until the braised pork was claimed and sold before paying the security guard.
The security guard was not in a hurry after receiving a positive answer: "Okay, I've already told them to come pick up the braised pork tomorrow morning, and you can pay me then."
Jiang Xi nodded: "Okay uncle, please help me promote it in the future. With your ability, it's no problem to sell hundreds of copies a month."
The security guard said cheerfully: "That's for sure, that's for sure." In the past, he didn't know whether it was true or not so he left some room for maneuver and just did some simple publicity. Once he got the real money, he would definitely publicize it vigorously.
He knew a lot of old friends, some of whom also worked as security guards in the compound. There were so many people there, and the security guard planned to bring his old friends over to promote the business together. Who would complain about having too much money? If you have the money, you’d be a bastard not to make it.
I didn’t expect that being a security guard could earn some extra money. The security guard started humming a song.
Jiang Xi sorted out the orders, said goodbye to the security guard, and went to the steel factory. She looked at Wu Youli's stall from afar. Customers came to him to buy and sell things from time to time. Wu Youli handled it very well. Even Niu'er could say a few words to the customers. The father and daughter were constantly moving and their faces were beaming. Jiang Xi knew without asking that business must be good today.
Jiang Xi parked the car next to Wu Youli's stall, simply said hello to Wu Youli, and went to a place.
The place Jiang Xi went to was Chen Xuemei's former home.
Ever since Jiang Xi Shaojie came to the stall last time and said some inexplicable words, Jiang Xi has always had a guess and has always been thinking about verifying it.
The Jiang family is really annoying. Those people keep popping up like cockroaches and are disgusting. Instead of fighting with them every time, it is better to just slap them to death to eliminate future troubles.
That guess was an opportunity. If Jiang Xi could confirm that the guess was true, he would definitely give Jiang Haibo a heavy blow. Jiang Xi's mouth curled up. Didn't Jiang Haibo want to be the factory director? How could someone with promiscuous relationships and a chaotic private life be the factory director?
And there is Jiang Shaojie. The road to success that was built by eating human blood is not so easy to walk on. Jiang Xi wants to directly demolish that person's road to success. He is a shameful illegitimate child, a hypocritical and selfish ghost. Jiang Xi can be said to have eliminated a scourge for the people.
According to his previous memory, Jiang Xi walked around the stone bridge under the county town and arrived at a house.
She once heard Chen Xuemei proudly say that she was a city person. After Jiang Haibo and Chen Xuemei got married, some people deliberately ran to Wu Yaqin to gossip. These people did not sympathize with Wu Yaqin for being abandoned. They only belittled Wu Yaqin endlessly because Jiang Haibo was the deputy director of the steel plant, just to please Jiang Haibo and his new wife.
Jiang Xi still remembered those people saying that Chen Xuemei was beautiful and from the city, that Jiang Haibo had good taste and that he and Chen Xuemei were a perfect match made in heaven, and that Wu Yaqin was the wife who should be abandoned.
Jiang Xi looked at the house in front of him coldly. The house was located in a remote area of the small county town. The door was made of wood and there was a hole in the lower left corner. This was the house where the so-called city dweller Chen Xuemei once lived.
