There are many things that are useless if you are afraid!
Kang Yueran replied, "I've already told you that I'll return their indentures after they've worked for five years. During these five years, they can earn money and get their indentures back, so they won't have any second thoughts.
After five years, if they leave the shop, they will be seen as betraying their boss. So they can leave on their own, but they can't take their employees with them, and they won't take many regular customers with them.
Zuo Bai stared at Kang Yueran, "What's wrong with your brain? How can you think of so many things?"
This is quite common in modern times. "I just thought it through. No matter how nice the words are, it's better to give them the real thing." It's necessary to paint a rosy picture, but that shouldn't be the only thing.
All four of them were speechless. If all the shopkeepers and clerks could work together, they would get twice the result with half the effort.
He Yifan was the first to support it. "When I go back, I will also raise the wages of my employees, just like Yueran's employees. They will have a day off every month, an extra month's wages, Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year gifts, and a raise for every extra year of work."
Shipbuilding is a skilled craft, and the difference between the work of experienced and novice workers is simply worlds apart. If we can retain all the experienced workers, we can hire fewer novices, saving money. The experienced workers also make fewer mistakes.
Mu Lian was also very tempted, "Boss, how is your shopkeeper's monthly salary calculated?"
"Their fixed monthly salary is two taels of silver, plus a commission. For example, if we sell 500 taels of silver this month, they'll take 20% of every 100, which is 10 taels. Plus the fixed two taels, that's 12 taels."
Zuo Bai asked, "Is it the profit, 20% of the 100?"
"The profit margin on colored porcelain is huge, so I let them take it all. You can decide based on the actual situation of your own shop."
Mu Lian was immediately overjoyed. "This is a great idea! If the shopkeeper wants to earn more monthly wages, he'll have to work hard to attract and retain customers, and he'll also constantly supervise the employees. I won't have to keep an eye on them all day."
He actually knew that his shopkeeper and his assistants were only warm and attentive to customers when he was in the shop, and would become lazy as soon as he left. This was good, finally solving his big problem.
The four of them agreed to Kang Yueran's proposal. Kang Yueran took the initiative to say that she would go to Heshunyuan to discuss the matter with Deng Fengxian tomorrow.
The four of them nodded in agreement and then said their goodbyes. They all wanted to go home and work out with the accountant what would be the most appropriate monthly salary.
Kang Yueran took the monthly salary standard written previously and went to find Deng Fengxian.
Deng Fengxian was of course delighted to receive a monthly salary increase. "We all have to thank Mr. Kang!"
"This is the monthly wage for the workers. Uncle He will set your monthly wage for you." Once the dock is in order, he, the general manager, will no longer be needed.
Deng Fengxian also knew this. "Yes, my master came to me last night and said that once the wharf is built, he will let me go back to being the shopkeeper and my monthly salary will increase."
In fact, with Deng Fengxian around, the five owners could save a lot of trouble. But the other four disagreed, saying that each place had its own manager or supervisor, and the five owners could definitely manage it.
"Then you can arrange it later. As for the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, I think nothing could be more appropriate than giving out grain. How about giving them 80 kilograms of bean flour each, and doubling the amount."
Bean flour is cheaper than last year, now it's ten cents a pound. "Okay, then I'll go to the grain store and buy it as soon as possible."
The Mid-Autumn Festival cannot be a full holiday. "We put the goods we buy into the warehouse first, and let the workers come back to pick them up when they go home."
After finishing his instructions, Kang Yueran returned home.
As soon as I got home, Xiao Wuzi came to me and said that he saw Mother Tian meeting someone secretly.
Kang Yueran trusted Xiao Wuzi's judgment very much, "What kind of person?"
"It was a man, about forty years old, wearing fine cotton clothes, who looked like a steward. He handed Mother Tian a purse, but I didn't know what it was.
I wanted to get Xianglian to talk, but she looked upset and left without saying a word.
This was her home, and Kang Yueran wouldn't allow any mistakes. "Tell Mama Fu to lure Mama Tian and Xianglian out, and you go check their place."
Half an hour later, Xiao Wuzi took out a small piece of light red stone and gave it to Kang Yueran. "There are two hundred taels of silver in the purse, and a stone like this, the size of a baby's fist."
"I see. Don't say anything yet. Let me think about it."
She returned to the study, closed the door, entered the space, opened the shop and uploaded the small piece of stone. After seeing the result, she narrowed her eyes!
Realgarite, after processing, becomes the very famous arsenic; if it is not processed, accidental ingestion of realgarite can also be fatal.
Duke Lu couldn't kill him openly, so he assassinated him?
Kang Yueran came out of the space and asked Xiao Wuzi to call Mother Tian and Xianglian to the study.
She asked directly, "Who gave you the silver?"
Mother Tian's face lost all color, but she still pretended to be calm, "What do you mean, young lady?"
"I'll ask you one last time, who gave you the silver?"
Kang Yueran was full of murderous intent. The mother and daughter were originally from farming families and were not very courageous.
Mother Tian was so frightened that her hair stood on end. "Miss, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to harm the Madam and the Young Masters."
Xianglian was trembling even more. "That person said that if I took that medicine, I would only get sick for a while, but it wouldn't kill me. Miss, please, please have mercy on me!"
In other words, the ones he wanted to harm were her mother and brother. Kang Yueran suddenly thought of the Prince of Lu who was crippled by Chai Shijing.
"Not fatal? I don't think so either. Xiao Wuzi, bring me that red calcite."
Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter kowtowed to Kang Yueran and begged for mercy.
After a while, Xiao Wuzi's purse was handed to Kang Yueran.
