Chapter 90 One of the powers of agency
In the first month, Qin Shu paid off the debts from the Wei family.
Chen Xuan also specifically said to Wei Nian. Wei Nian asked Qin Shu if he had paid back the money a few days ago. Now he knew that Qin Shu had paid back the money, but he didn't say anything, but nodded. Wei Nian could have settled two more months of salary for Zhao Cheng at the beginning. He was not interested in the twenty yuan, but wanted to see Qin Shu. At least, knowing that he had money to pay the debt first, in Wei Nian's opinion, although he was a little stupid, he was not helpless. He could just rent his south house to continue living.
Qin Shu had money and immediately changed his bird guns. He wore a more Western style, even cheongsams. Fortunately, this girl had suffered before, and her clothes were all within her ability and did not buy them in large quantities. Qin Shu was a girl who was very good at cleaning up the layout. When she was free, she would inlaid a circle of small laces for the indigo tablecloth. The round stools and chairs made cushions with materials bought from the Weijiaku base. Even the big kang made a kang skirt. The oil paintings that Qin Shu himself draped were hanging on the wall. The oil paintings were nothing to see close, but they looked like they were real from a distance. Chen Xuan looked good and asked Qin Shu to paint two paintings for her when she had time. She asked Wei Nian to hold a hammer and knock two nails on the wall, and hang the framed oil paintings. She suddenly felt that the two beds of mandarin ducks playing in the water were also very fashionable.
Qin Shu paid back the debt from the Wei family. Chen Xuan and Wei Yin discussed with Wei Yin that he would pay back half of the money he had borrowed from Wei Nian before. Wei Nian was very happy to accept it, deposited it in the bank, and then handed the passbook to Chen Xuan for collection. In early March, Uncle Wang came to Beijing to see his third uncle.
Chen Xuan was a little surprised why Uncle Wang came here now. Chen Xuan and Wei Nian said, "In the countryside, it's time to be busy in the fields."
When I returned to my old house, I realized that Uncle Wang was following Mr. Shao, a big grain merchant in Baoding Prefecture. Uncle Wang smiled, "Last year, Mr. Shao said that he asked me to work with him. I helped Mr. Shao collect grain from various places. I originally thought that he would come to the twelfth month last year, so I went outside the customs. Mr. Shao said that he came to Beijing, so I hurriedly followed him. The fine noodles produced by our flour mill using foreign machines is no worse than American flour, and one bag can be five cents cheaper. I brought two bags to try for Brother Wei."
Mr. Wei smiled, "Okay, I have also heard of Mr. Shao's reputation. From now on, I will listen to our domestic flour at home."
"Try it first, it tastes good before eating this." Uncle Wang still has a straightforward temperament. After coming to the capital, he did not live in the old house of Wei, but went to Wangfucang Hutong to live with his third uncle. Uncle Wang brought a lot of things to his third uncle, which were commonly used at home. Two kilograms of old tobacco shreds are the ones that his third uncle likes to smoke. His clothes, shoes and socks are all made. As a result, when he saw that his third uncle had everything, his third uncle smiled and said, "Arou made it for me all year round. Last winter, my quilt and mattress were re-spread.
A Nian’s wife is also good here. I will help clean up the yard with three meals a day. Alas, I eat so well, and there is meat in every meal. Sometimes I feel so bad." The third uncle’s view is similar to Chen Xuan’s previous one. Basically, having meat in the meal is equivalent to committing evil. However, Chen Xuan has made rapid progress. Chen Xuan gave up on herself because she eats very well every day. Whether she studies or does things, Chen Xuan is very focused and attentive. Because if she doesn’t grow strawberries well, she can’t make money in the hat shop, so it’s not useless to eat so many delicious foods.
Uncle Wang comforted his third uncle, "What is the food for this is not just for the third uncle. I see that A Nian and his wife get up early in the morning and can only come back in the evening. Young people are so busy that they have to eat better."
The third uncle nodded, "That's the same."
Uncle Wang felt relieved when he saw that everything was good in Uncle San.
However, there is another clever thing about Uncle Wang coming to Beijing this time.
Chen Xuan and Wei Yin had just discussed recruiting clerks, but they didn't recruit anyone else. According to Chen Xuan and Wei Yin's discussion, Sun Yan is a good girl. Last year, she knitted sweaters and gloves. She worked neatly and had a nimble hand. Just like that, Sun Yan didn't know how to put on makeup. Both aunts and sisters-in-law were not worried about this. As long as they were willing to learn, it would not be difficult. In addition, it was about salary. Sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law had not decided yet, and asked shopkeeper Xiao Li to say that a novice like Sun Yan was completely an apprentice and had a bag in the shop.
For food, of course, if you live, Sun Yan's family is in Beijing, so you don't have to worry about this. But there is also the meaning of having a shopkeeper Xiao Li, and the apprentice doesn't have to pay at all. Wei Yin knew Sun Yan's family background and knew that her family was in trouble, so Wei Yin wanted to be kind, and at least he had to give him three or five yuan a month. After all, a girl like Sun Yan would go out to find a job in the factory and could get a few dollars a month. Of course, there are few factories in Beijing, and it is not easy to find a job.
Chen Xuan was wandering between Xiao Li's shopkeeper and Wei Yin. Chen Xuan was a very frugal person. Of course, she was not stingy with others. However, Chen Xuan was influenced by Wei Nian and knew the truth that business was business. However, she felt that it seemed that it was not good to not pay a penny for a girl to be an apprentice, according to the old concept of a business person.
As for what's wrong, Chen Xuan really can't say anything.
Chen Xuan consulted Wei Nian. This was nothing in Wei Nian's eyes. Wei Nian said, "The shopkeeper Xiao Li also wanted to save money for the shop, but he didn't give a penny, so he just kept food and clothing, so he couldn't keep Sun Yan. The family background in her family was a big smoker, her mother was incompetent, and her brother and sister were not all pointing at her to do odd jobs to earn money?"
"If you recruit someone else, one is not easy to recruit female clerks, the other is recruited. If you don't know the foundation, we dare not use it." Chen Xuan's current employment philosophy is still to give priority to acquaintances.
Wei Nian said, "This is easy. Just pay two kinds of salary. One is fixed, five yuan a month, and the other is three yuan a month. However, for every item sold, the commission will be given to Sun Yan."
"Can this still happen?"
"This is not surprising, right?" Wei Nian and Chen Xuan said, "It is not the era of the old school apprenticeship in the past. Many college students and international students have never worked for jobs and have to get high salaries that month. Just like I sell things, I get the same profit as your shop. I don't have a basic salary yet. If it were me, I would propose a third salary to Sun Yan, which is not a basic salary, and increase the commission ratio for each item sold."
Wei Nian was in a state of excitement, and he hooked his finger at Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan leaned over and asked her, "If you want to choose these three, which one do you choose?"
Chen Xuan understood Wei Nian’s meaning a little, and Chen Xuan said honestly, “If you want me, I will choose the second one.”
"This is the most reliable method, because I just worked and I am not familiar with the work. If I rely solely on commissions, I may not get more money than the first and second ones. However, your store has a good business and already has regular customers and old customers. Therefore, the second one should be the way to benefit the most." Wei Nian nodded, "This is very consistent with your somewhat conservative temperament and want to give yourself a little challenge. If it were me, I would choose the third one."
“Isn’t this a risk too much?”
Wei Nian said, "The risk is high, but it also means the profit is high."
Chen Xuan shook her head and still insisted on her own idea, "If you want me, I will choose the second one."
Wei Nian smiled and touched Chen Xuan's head, "This is your benefit."
Chen Xuan discussed Wei Nian's idea with Wei Yin again, and Wei Yin laughed, "The second brother is just a brain."
"Well, Brother A Nian is very smart." When doing business, Chen Xuan had a blind trust in Wei Nian and said to Wei Nian, "So, we not only have to learn from him, but also have to work harder." The two discussed drawing up a contract before they told Sun Yan about the store. Sun Yan was indeed willing, and, to Chen Xuan's surprise, Sun Yan chose the third salary.
Chen Xuan went home and told Wei Nian that Wei Nian nodded, "You have to be so kind when you sell things."
As soon as the hat shop added a female clerk Sun Yan, she welcomed a supplier. Chen Xuan and her store sold the best cosmetics, the brand is Fenfang. Chen Xuan did not expect that the founder of this brand was actually a woman.
Of course, it may not be appropriate for Miss Shao to call her Ms. Because Miss Shao looks a few years older than Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan heard that Miss Shao is the boss of Fenfang Cosmetics, so she asked Miss Shao to go in and sit in.
Miss Shao wore a fine-plaid women's trousers with a white shirt with lace lace. The outside was a fine-plaid vest, with her hair permed into curly hair like a movie star. Her makeup was so delicate that she was meticulous and fashionable. Miss Shao politely shook hands with Chen Xuan, "Your cosmetics here sells me well. My father and I came to Beijing and came over to have a look."
"I didn't know Miss Shao was coming before, otherwise I should go to greet you. Please sit down, want black tea or green tea?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Sorry, do you have coffee?" Miss Shao did not sit down immediately, but looked at the small store. The store was very small and the things sold were too complicated. Wei Yin ordered, "A Yan, go to the coffee shop on the street to buy a cup of coffee for Miss Shao."
"No need, I'll drink black tea." Miss Shao said.
Seeing that Wei Yin didn't say anything, Sun Yan went out to buy coffee.
Miss Shao straightened out of the way and raised her pointed chin slightly, "My cosmetics sold well last year and gradually became famous in the north. This time I came to Beijing to find an agent in Beijing."
Chen Xuan and Wei Yin don’t know much about the business world, but the Wei family has been doing business for many years. Wei Yin doesn’t like Miss Shao’s momentum, so he said, “Since Miss Shao comes here, I think there is something good to come to our store. Miss Shao may as well say something.”
Miss Shao waved her hand, shook her snow-white fingers with dyed konjac and looked at Wei Yin and the silent Chen Xuan with beautiful eyes, "Do you want to be my general agent in Beijing?"
