As time went by, Lingchuan became more and more comfortable with business matters, and his business gradually improved. His daily revenue increased from 10 to 20 yuan to 70 or 80 yuan, and occasionally even exceeded 100 yuan.
However, as the number of customers increased day by day, he and Zhou Xiaowei were already overwhelmed, and they often had to work until 11 or 12pm before finishing work.
There is no solution if you continue like this, your body will be exhausted sooner or later.
While looking at the accounts at night, Yun Mo took the opportunity to propose recruiting one or two more people to help run the business.
"Now that the business is on the right track, it is also time to make a clear division of labor. Human energy is limited. If you have to take care of everything, you will probably not be able to manage anything well in the end.
You are the boss and you only need to be responsible for the operation of the entire business, customer management and maintenance, purchase and accounting, business development and after-sales, etc. You can leave it to others.
With a clear division of labor, everyone can perform their duties, and work efficiency will be improved, and business will get better and better."
At Yun Mo's suggestion, Lingchuan began to look for salespeople, and Zhou Xiaowei was responsible for delivery and inventory management.
Two days after the recruitment news was released, Deng Zhi came to the door.
Deng Zhi, one of our own, did not mince words and directly explained his purpose.
After the electronic watch business failed and the pager business failed, Deng Zhi returned to his old business and started repairing motorcycles.
However, the competition in the maintenance industry is now too great, and they have never made much money. The Deng family's life is very tight.
In order to make more money, Deng Zhi's two sons now go to other places to work. He, his wife Feng Cuihua, and his eldest daughter-in-law Liu Shuang are the only ones in the family.
Liu Shuang is pregnant now, and Deng Zhi and Feng Cuihua don't dare to let Liu Shuang go out to work. Feng Cuihua is thinking about her going out to find some work to supplement the family income, and to save some money for milk powder for the grandchildren who are about to be born.
So after hearing that Lingchuan wanted to recruit people, Deng Zhi came immediately.
"Kawako, although your Aunt Cuihua is over 40, she is a good worker and a smart and capable person. Do you think you can let her give it a try?"
Lingchuan had never thought of hiring a female salesperson, so he was a little embarrassed for a while, "Uncle Zhi, can you let me think about this?"
Deng Zhi was also a cheerful person. He said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay. I'm just here to ask. Don't be embarrassed. If it doesn't work, forget it. I'll find other jobs for your aunt."
In the evening, as soon as Yunmo came home from school, Lingchuan told her the matter.
After listening, Yun Mo said directly, "Why don't you agree to come down?"
Lingchuan was a little stunned by the question and said hesitantly: "Although Aunt Cuihua is capable, she is still a woman..."
"What's wrong with women? Sometimes women's abilities are beyond your men's imagination. Do you look down on women?"
Seeing that he had been misunderstood by his wife, Lingchuan hurriedly explained: "Momo, I don't look down on women. I just think running business is too hard, exposed to wind, sun and rain. I'm afraid Aunt Cuihua won't be able to endure this hardship."
If it were him, no matter how poor he was, he would not let his wife run around outside.
Yun Mo disagreed, "Whether it's bitter or not is the choice of Uncle Zhi and Aunt Cuihua. Zifei Yuan knows the joy of fish. You think it's bitter, but for Aunt Cuihua, being able to make money to support the family may be
The greatest happiness and contentment.”
In this way, Feng Cuihua became Ling Chuan's second employee after Zhou Xiaowei.
At Yun Mo's suggestion, Lingchuan formulated two salary calculation methods for Feng Cuihua.
One is a high basic salary with responsibility, a fixed salary of 30 yuan per month, and the corresponding number of customers and sales performance need to be achieved. If the requirements are not met for two consecutive months, the salary will be reduced or fired.
The second is a no-responsibility system, with a basic salary of 10 yuan per month and other income based on performance commissions. The more you do, the more you get.
Feng Cuihua chose the second option.
The day after the employment contract was signed, Feng Cuihua officially started working.
To Yunmo and Lingchuan's surprise, Feng Cuihua opened the business on her first day at work.
Although it was only a small order of 10 yuan, for a novice like Feng Cuihua, it was considered a big success.
Feng Cuihua is an authentic housewife. Apart from occasionally helping her husband visit the repair shop, she has never worked seriously before and is not very good at dressing up. She looks rustic and old-fashioned all over her body.
But just like this, a middle-aged woman with an unattractive appearance, just relied on her straightforward personality and eloquent mouth to let a proprietress selling cosmetics take 10 yuan of goods from her hand.
The smooth first day not only surprised Lingchuan and Yunmo, but also made Feng Cuihua very motivated.
Compared with the smooth sailing on the Lingchuan side, there are difficulties on the other side of the Lingjiang River.
Since Ling Jiang took charge of the family, Li Li couldn't get any money from Ling Jiang, so she decided to focus on the goods stored at home.
Although Ling Jiang kept count of his business every day, he did not always count the inventory at home.
Until that day, he planned to take stock of his accounts for the past month of trading to see how much money he had made. As a result, he discovered that the accounts and inventory did not match up.
The hundreds of items that Lingchuan had taken away before were all returned later. The total number of items that Ling Jiang had on hand was still 1,200 items.
He sold a total of 685 pieces of goods, but there were only 310 pieces left in the inventory at home, with a gap of 205 pieces in the middle.
Ling Jiang thought that he had not calculated clearly at first, so he brought the goods at home and a small notebook to Ling Chuan and Yun Mo.
The couple each counted it for Ling Jiang, and found that there were indeed 205 items missing.
Ling Jiang subconsciously wondered: "Did the family get robbed?"
There are definitely thieves, but it's hard to say whether they are outsiders or domestic thieves.
Yun Mo said softly: "Brother, you should report it to the police. Although 200 pieces of jewelry is not a lot, we let it go this time and let the thieves taste the dessert. The losses will only be more next time."
Ling Jiang agreed to the proposal to report to the police without hesitation.
For 200 pieces of jewelry, the purchase cost plus travel expenses would cost almost 20 yuan. He might not be able to earn that much in a week's business, and he must not lose interest.
Afraid that Ling Jiang could not handle the matter alone, Yun Mo asked Ling Chuan to accompany him to the police station to report the crime.
But before Lingchuan went out, Yun Mo specially called Lingchuan back to the room to talk.
"When I go to eldest brother's house, pay attention to my sister-in-law's reaction."
Lingchuan was also a smart man and understood his wife's meaning instantly.
After receiving the report, the police station immediately sent two investigators to Ling's house to investigate.
It was lunch time, and all the neighbors were eating at home. Seeing Ling Jiang bringing the police home, they all came to join in the fun with their rice bowls.
Some people couldn't help but be curious when they saw police officers in police uniforms patrolling around the Ling family courtyard.
"Ling Jiang, what are you doing?"
Ling Jiang replied with a sad face: "My house was robbed and 200 pieces of goods were lost."
Hearing this, the surrounding neighbors immediately exploded.
