After Wei Xuan finished talking to Jiang Sanjie, she suddenly remembered that the grain store and the braised meat shop also needed talents to open. She had no choice but to go back and write a recruitment advertisement and post it on the walls of several stores. Looking at the small advertisement she had just posted on the wall, Wei Xuan smiled helplessly. The entrance of her store was almost becoming a talent recruitment market.
This is true whether it's a clothing store, a grain store recruiting, or a factory recruiting, or the transportation company recruiting for Jiang Che before. Oh, by the way, it seems that before the transportation company opened, she also used this method of posting small advertisements to help Jiang Che attract customers in front of the store, and it seems to have a good effect. Next time, she will have to ask him for a fee.
The day after the advertisement was posted, people started to come to apply for the job. The factory had not yet opened, and Wei Xuan did not have much to do every day, so she took the job.
I don’t know if it’s because her clothing store is quite famous in Beijing, but there are quite a lot of people applying for the job, more than a dozen every day.
For fear of affecting the business of the store, she changed the recruitment address to a clothing store that had been renovated but not yet opened. The recruitment time was set from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. every day. She simply placed a table and a few chairs in the store, and Wei Xuan began her large-scale recruitment work.
It's no exaggeration to say it's a large-scale operation, because there are indeed a lot of people to be recruited this time. There will be at least fifteen clerks for the five clothing stores, four for the braised meat stores, two for the grain stores, and the most important one is the food factory.
This requirement is relatively high. In addition to the factory director, the factory's sales staff are also the main target of this recruitment.
After all, the future success of the factory's business will largely depend on whether they have the ability to sell the factory's products, so Wei Xuan was very strict and ruthless when recruiting this time.
There weren't many applicants for the position of factory manager, nor for sales staff. Most of them were store employees. But Wei Xuan wasn't in a hurry. She couldn't rush, and talent was more valuable in terms of quality than quantity. Maybe the two people who came were talented. She would wait until she had recruited all the store employees.
...
...
It is easy to find store employees. You just need to follow the requirements of the service staff. Three days later, all the employees were recruited, and Wei Xuan sent them to various stores to learn. She didn't care about what happened next, as the store managers would teach them.
After three days, there were still only those two people who came to apply for the position of factory manager. Wei Xuan remained calm and continued to wait. After waiting for a week, there was still no third person to apply, so she waved her hand and said she would not wait any longer.
So, he called the two people to the store and prepared to have a face-to-face talk with them.
The younger of the two is Zheng Yi, who is only 25 years old this year. According to him, he just graduated from university.
Wei Xuan was surprised: "You didn't get a job after graduating from university?"
You know, college students are very valuable these days, and each of them is a gifted child. How could they come to her to apply for the position of director of a private factory? It doesn't sound right for a factory that hasn't even opened yet and has no future.
Zheng Yi blushed a little when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "Yes, but I think the salary here should be a little higher, so I want to give it a try."
Of course he knew it was strange for him to say that, because no college student would give up a bright future for money, but Zheng Yi had no choice. His parents died when he was young, and he grew up in his uncle's house. His uncle was an honest man and was willing to support him to go to high school. He also worked hard and was admitted to college as he wished. When he was in college, his uncle became seriously ill, and his aunt threatened him to pay part of the medical expenses by raising him. He lived frugally and borrowed some money from his classmates, but it was still not enough. Fortunately, his uncle survived, but he could not do heavy work since then. His aunt asked Zheng Yi to hand over most of his salary every month, and if he didn't obey, she would go to his workplace to make trouble.
Zheng Yi had just started working and his salary was low. He had to send most of it back home, which was not enough for him to use. But if he didn't send money back, he was afraid that his aunt would treat his uncle badly. Faced with this dilemma, Zheng Yi made the choice he has now made.
After hearing what he said, Wei Xuan stopped asking. Everyone has their own privacy and she had no intention of prying into it. She didn't care what the reason was that made Zheng Yi willing to give up his bright future and come to her. Whether he could stay or not depended on whether he had the real ability!
Next came another man who was a little older.
His name is Jian Xiangliang and he is 37 years old. What Wei Xuan didn't expect was that he had previously served as deputy factory director in a state-owned enterprise. This was impressive, especially since he was so young.
Wei Xuan asked him, "Then why did you quit?"
Section 113
Jian Xiangliang laughed bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "At that time, I didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. I thought I was very capable. When someone instigated me, I quit my job and went into business. After a year of working outside, I didn't accomplish anything and even lost all my family assets."
Wei Xuan was a little surprised. This guy was quite interesting. He came here to apply for a job and actually dared to reveal all his past dark experiences in front of his future boss. Wasn't he afraid of leaving a bad impression on her? After all, whether he could stay or not depended entirely on her decision.
Wei Xuan thought so in her mind and asked it.
Jian Xiangliang said, "Although I can't be considered an upright and good person, I don't bother to hide or lie. Rather than hiding it and feeling anxious every day, it's better to speak out openly. I have my advantages. If you deny me because of these experiences, then I have nothing to say. Besides, I don't think all my experiences are bad."
Wei Xuan nodded without saying anything. He was a very proud man, and a failure did not destroy his self-confidence. But this was also normal. Someone who could become a deputy factory director in his thirties must be very capable, which also indirectly proved his excellence.
After a while, Wei Xuan asked him again: "Since you have chosen to go into business, it means that you are a very smart person. You must be able to see that this era is full of business opportunities. I believe that it is not difficult for you to make money with your ability. Why do you come to me to apply for the position of factory manager?"
One failure doesn't mean anything. Wei Xuan didn't know how he failed before, but it's really not difficult for people with some skills to make money these days. She didn't believe that Jian Xiangliang came for the little salary she gave him.
Jian Xiangliang was quite frank. He said bluntly, "It's not difficult to make money, but I don't just want to make money. What I need more is a good platform for me to give full play to my abilities and build a career. I just happened to see that you were recruiting people here. I was quite interested, so I came to try it out."
Wei Xuan understood that this was a man with great ambitions. Although he could make a lot of money by setting up a street stall, he wanted more than just making money. He also wanted a career that he could fight for. But to support a career, in addition to having brains and means, he also needed money. He had no money, so Wei Xuan was his last resort.
Jian Xiangliang was different from her. She was very young when she started to accumulate her first pot of gold. Even so, it took her nearly ten years to earn her first million. Jian Xiangliang was no longer young, and he did not have extra time to waste. When he had accumulated enough money to support his career, who knew if he would still have the energy to fight? People have different ideas at each stage, and people who fall from a high place always want to get back to the high place in the shortest time. He had no way of starting as a small trader, and his pride would not allow it.
After a brief exchange with both of them, Wei Xuan also gave them the opportunity to ask her questions.
Zheng Yi mainly asked basic questions such as future work content and remuneration, but Jian Xiangliang asked much more in-depth questions. He asked Wei Xuan what future plans were for the factory.
Wei Xuan glanced at him and answered confidently: "I hope that the products produced by our food factory can be sold all over the country. I also hope that the name of our food factory can become a household name in a few years."
“That’s a really wonderful wish.”
"I will make it happen." In the previous life, a chili sauce could go abroad, so why can't she?
It must be said that Wei Xuan's confidence gave Jian Xiangliang a great shock.
In fact, Wei Xuan’s guess was correct. Jian Xiangliang’s willingness to come to the food factory was just a choice he had no choice but to make.
The failure of his business has greatly changed his status among his relatives and friends. Those who used to cling to him and praise him now look at him as if he were a fool. No one understands why he quit such a good job. Of course, he is unwilling to explain to those who don't understand him.
But being aloof cannot be eaten. He has a wife and children at home. He has to be responsible for them and cannot let them suffer with him. The most urgent thing is to find a job to support the family. He has to quickly get himself out of the shadow of failure.
With his ability, he could certainly choose to work in larger and more powerful factories, but the personnel structures in those factories are clearly defined, and it would not be easy for him to gain a foothold at this time. It might take a lot of energy and time, and he might not be able to do it in the end. It would be better for him to choose Wei Xuan, a brand new food factory, where he can better display his talents.
Moreover, he had asked around before coming, and found out that Wei Xuan's financial strength was quite good. It was no exaggeration to say that several of her clothing stores were making a fortune every day. In this way, the food factory would not have to worry about the risk of running out of funds.
Especially today, when he came over and saw that there were only two people applying for the position of factory manager, and the other one looked so young, he immediately made up his mind. So what if he was a college student? Could he have more experience than him? When the two of them stood together, anyone with a discerning eye would know who to choose.
But such self-confidence collapsed after Wei Xuan said that. Would such an ambitious boss choose such an ambitious person as his target?
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Jian Xiangliang felt that if it were him, he would not want a subordinate with too many ideas.
He was right. Wei Xuan really preferred Zheng Yi as the candidate for factory director. Firstly, the reputation of a college student was very important for Wei Xuan to recruit talents in the future. Secondly, Zheng Yi's personality was more in line with Wei Xuan's setting for the factory director.
She had her own plan for the development of the food factory in the next five years. Obviously, Jian Xiangliang also had his own ideas. She didn't have the time and energy to get along with him, even if he was very capable. Powerful people are often destructive.
So when Wei Xuan announced the result, Jian Xiangliang was disappointed but he was not too surprised because he had expected it. On the contrary, Zheng Yi thought she had no chance after seeing Wei Xuan and Jian Xiangliang talking so much. She didn't expect the result to be so unexpected.
It took him a long time to recover from the surprise. He pointed at the tip of his nose and asked, "Is it really me?"
"Well," Wei Xuan said with a smile, "it's you. Go report to me at the food factory tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you, boss."
After Zheng Yi left, Jian Xiangliang was also about to say goodbye, but Wei Xuan stopped him.
"Mr. Jian, I have a position here. Are you interested?"
Jian Xiangliang looked back at her and asked, "What position?"
"Sit down first and let me tell you slowly."
There was no other choice, Jian Xiangliang had to return to his previous seat and sit down again.
Wei Xuan said, "You just asked me about my future plans for the food factory. I said I wanted to sell the products from the factory to all parts of the country. Do you think I'm daydreaming?"
"Of course not," Jian Xiangliang denied immediately, "Boss Wei is a very forward-looking person. I am ashamed of myself." He certainly would not admit that he did have an overestimating thought when he first heard this, but later when he saw Wei Xuan was so serious, he felt that she might really be able to do it.
Wei Xuan didn't bother to investigate the truth of his words, and continued, "If we want to sell our products all over the country, we must have people to promote them. Even good wine needs to be promoted if it's not well known. Although I am confident that the products produced by our factory are not inferior to those of other companies in terms of quality and taste, or even better, it won't work if no one knows about it. So I plan to recruit some sales staff to promote our products in various places."
“You want me to go into sales?”
"No," Wei Xuan said with a smile, "It would be a waste of your talent to let you do this. I just want to find someone to manage this area. I think you have good abilities, you can consider it. What do you think of the position of sales manager?" The right person should be placed in the right position to play the greatest role.
It would definitely not be a good idea to let Jian Xiangliang do sales, but he is a very suitable candidate to manage this department.
This was something Wei Xuan suddenly thought of just now. It was not easy for her to have a talent like Jian Xiangliang apply for a job in a small factory. She didn't want to let him go, but he was really not suitable for the position of factory director. What should she do?
In a hurry, Wei Xuan thought of this position, sales manager. Although it does not sound as prestigious as the title of factory director, these are actually two different departments. One is in charge of trivial matters such as production and personnel in the factory, and the other is in charge of outside sales promotion.
Wei Xuan really thinks that an offensive talent like Jian Xiangliang is very suitable for this position. Now it depends on whether Jian Xiangliang is willing.
Jian Xiangliang was indeed a little hesitant. He came here for the position of factory director, but now he has become a sales manager. Does he have to listen to the orders of a kid in his twenties in the future?
Wei Xuan saw what he was thinking and said, "The sales manager and the factory director are in charge of different areas, so you only need to report directly to me in the future."
After hearing this, Jian Xiangliang felt much better, but he still didn't give in.
Wei Xuan was not in a hurry and gave him time to think about it. "Sales is a very challenging job. Sales manager is also a very challenging job. Mr. Jian, don't rush to give me an answer. The factory hasn't opened yet. You can think about it slowly. I'll give you a week. Within this week, you can come to the factory to find me whenever you want."
Jian Xiangliang really couldn't make a decision at the moment. He wanted to go back and think about it carefully. When he heard Wei Xuan say this, he quickly agreed and said, "Thank you, Boss Wei. I will give you an answer within a week."
Although Jian Xiangliang did not agree, Wei Xuan was still very happy. At least the factory director was confirmed. With a factory director, the factory could slowly run. Moreover, she felt that Jian Xiangliang would most likely agree to her proposal in the end. Yes, she was confident about it.
In the evening, seeing how happy she was, Jiang Che told her another good news.
"Wife, when you are done with your work, I will take you to Shanghai for fun."
"Why are you going to Shanghai for no reason?"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "I received a big order to go to Shanghai today. I should be able to make a lot of money on this trip. If there are not enough people, I will go with the car this time. When I get familiar with the land in Shanghai this time, I can take you and the children to play next time."
"What kind of big order would be dangerous?" Wei Xuan is most afraid of Jiang Che and his team taking long-distance orders.
But since we have started this business, this is unavoidable. Otherwise, it will definitely have an impact on the company over time.
Jiang Che comforted her: "It's okay, I asked Brother Xue to help me with the inventory this time. Don't worry, there won't be any problems with our large number of people." Even if there were any problems, he would not tell them out loud to scare Wei Xuan.
Hearing that Xue Bin was there, Wei Xuan felt a lot more relieved.
"So when are you leaving?"
"There are still ten days left, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for your factory's opening." Jiang Che said regretfully. He didn't want to miss such an important occasion, but sometimes things just happened to be so coincidental.
Wei Xuan also felt a little regretful, but she was still very optimistic: "The factory hasn't recruited enough people yet, and it's still early to close. It may not be this difficult."
Jiang Che nodded: "I hope so. I also want to see Director Wei's demeanor."
As they were talking, they became unserious. Wei Xuan rolled her eyes and went to the next room to hug her son.
Jiang Yuanlang was eight months old, chubby and fair-skinned. He cried out "Ahhh" when he saw Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan walked over and patted his fat butt: "Do you miss your mom?"
Liu Ying handed the child to her: "I feel like I'm getting into trouble recently."
"That was quite early. I remember Yuanyuan didn't learn to speak until she was almost one year old."
“Every child is different.”
Yes, Jiang Yuanlang was really well taken care of by sister-in-law Liu Ying. His little face looked so cute that people wanted to rub it. Wei Xuan teased the child for a while and asked Liu Ying, "Sister-in-law, your eldest son will take the college entrance examination in two months, right?"
Speaking of the child, Liu Ying's face was full of smiles: "Yes, it will be soon. I wonder if he can pass the exam."
"Of course you can. You will enjoy yourself in the future. Both children are so sensible." Both children from Liu Ying's family have come to play. Wei Xuan has met them several times and they are both very polite and good children.
Speaking of which, there are quite a few children in the family who are going to take the college entrance examination this year. It seems that Wei Ming from the eldest brother's family and Xiao Zhi from the eldest sister's family are both taking the exam this year, right? She will call back in a few days to ask.
The next day, Wei Xuan rode her bicycle to the factory early in the morning. When she arrived at the factory, she did not go in, but waited for Zheng Yi in the guard room.
Fortunately, Zheng Yi arrived early and didn't keep her waiting for long.
After the two met, Wei Xuan took Zheng Yi to the office. They chatted for a while before getting down to business.
The main thing is that Wei Xuan said that Zheng Yi was taking notes with a pen and paper.
"We still have to recruit people first, otherwise the two of us won't be able to do anything. Once the candidates come in, we will check all the inventory and machines to see which ones can be used and which ones can't. We will deal with the unusable ones as we see fit. After we have sorted out all these, we can talk about production. Also, when recruiting, make sure to give priority to the old employees of this factory. It's just giving priority, not giving them preferential treatment. Those who fail the exam will still be eliminated."
After Wei Xuan finished speaking, Zheng Yi looked up and asked, "How many employees will we recruit in the first batch? And what are our assessment criteria?"
Wei Xuan thought about it and said, "Let's recruit fifty people first, and then slowly add more people later. Anyway, we don't produce many products in the early stage, so we don't need too many people. Fifty people are enough. Please list the positions we need now and show them to me later. If there is no problem, we will start recruiting tomorrow. As for the assessment standards, it depends on the position."
After explaining all this, Zheng Yi started to work, and Wei Xuan also sat in her seat and took out the account book to start calculating.
Although the daily expenses and income are quite a lot now, since the account books are separate, the accounts are still clear and not difficult to calculate. Oh, by the way, speaking of accounting, does she need to hire another accountant for the factory?
Thinking of this, she looked up and called Zheng Yi: "Remember, we need to hire another accountant."
"Oh well."
Zheng Yi's work efficiency was quite high. He listed the positions in half an hour. Wei Xuan took a quick look and thought they were about right, so she said, "Write a job ad based on this position. Write a few more and I'll take them to the store to post later."
After saying this, Wei Xuan felt ashamed. There was no other way. There was no employee in the factory now, so she could only trouble Zheng Yi, the factory director, to help with these chores. Fortunately, Zheng Yi himself had no objection and obediently accepted the task and did it.
Wei Xuan wrote down her own assessment criteria for each position. After she finished, she handed it to Zheng Yi and said, "See if you have anything to add. If you have, just write it down."
After reading it, Zheng Yi handed it to Wei Xuan: "It's already very comprehensive. I can't think of anything else to add."
"That's it." After putting away her things, Wei Xuan took a few recruitment advertisements written by Zheng Yi and prepared to leave.
"That's all for today. You'll be busy tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest. We'll meet at the factory at the same time tomorrow."
"OK."
Wei Xuan first went to the store to put up the advertisement, then looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so she went to several stores to inspect and did not find any problems, then rode her bike home.
As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she heard Yuanlang's laughter. She quickened her pace. It turned out that Jiang Che was playing with the children in the yard. He was carrying his daughter on his back and holding his son in front, swinging back and forth. No wonder he was laughing so happily.
"Be careful not to throw the child out again."
As soon as Wei Xuan spoke, the three of them all looked in her direction. Yuanyuan even jumped off her father's back and ran straight towards Wei Xuan: "Mom, you're back?"
Wei Xuan caught her and combed her fallen hair with her hands: "Slow down, or you'll cry if you fall later."
"Now that I'm grown up, I won't cry like my brother."
"You said that yourself. I won't comfort you next time you cry."
After saying that, Jiang Che also came closer with the child in his arms: "Why are you here so early today?"
"I should be the one asking you this, isn't the company busy?"
"Busy," Jiang Che handed his son to Wei Xuan. "I'm taking a break from my busy schedule. Today is the weekend. Will I take the kids out for boating later?"
Section 114
Wei Xuan had been busy for so long and wanted to take a break and relax, so she agreed: "Okay, let's go after we finish our dinner and wake up from our nap." Her son would definitely make a fuss if he went out without taking a nap.
"Yeah, I told you mom would agree."
Wei Xuan rolled her eyes at the father and daughter, and said, "So I'm going to make a bet."
The family of three was talking and laughing. Jiang Yuanlang, a little guy, didn't understand, but it didn't stop him from feeling the atmosphere. Wei Xuan saw him grinning and scratched his cheek: "What are you laughing at?"
Yuanyuan said excitedly: "I know, I know, my brother must have known that we were going to play in the afternoon, that's why he was laughing."
Being interrupted like this, Wei Xuan completely forgot what was on her mind until she was taking a nap in bed at noon when she suddenly remembered: "I said I would come back and think of a name for the food factory. How come I forgot it?"
Looking at the three people who were already fast asleep beside him, forget it, let's wait until we come back from playing in the afternoon. It won't take too long.
The author has something to say:
I see you are all worried about the heroine taking on the factory's debts. Don't worry.
The finances of this kind of state-owned factory are transparent. Since they did not ask Wei Xuan to take over these debts during the negotiations, they must clear these debts before Wei Xuan buys it.
