Chapter 171: Recruiting and buying horses, taking off soon (4000 chapters)
At the same time, on the Internet, more and more people have read Xia Zekai's two articles that were reprinted on Sina.com, especially the first article. In just a few days, the number of reads increased
It has exceeded 200,000 and continues to rise.
As for the second article, which was reprinted just two days later, about 'future real estate price increases', because of the subprime mortgage crisis, just one year later, many people are now a bit secretive about taking out loans to buy houses. Therefore, this article
An article gets fewer likes, but more discussions.
Everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their own opinions. Some people even reposted this article on their own QQ space or other platforms. This was considered to be out of the circle, and it suddenly blossomed.
The number of views of this article on Sina is no less than that of the first article. These two articles, which have been discussed repeatedly on Sina’s economic channel, have brought continuous traffic to Xia Zekai’s Taobao store.
Even if the conversion rate is not very high, there are still hundreds of orders a day. Based on the average purchase of 2 boxes, it costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Zhang San told Xia Zekai that the final sales volume was 913 units and the sales volume was 41,315 yuan.
When Xia Zekai heard this result, his heart did not fluctuate much. He had expected this scene.
This is the result of comprehensive efforts from all aspects, and cannot be counted as a day's achievement.
The combined views of the two articles have exceeded 400,000. What is the concept? There were 913 orders today and 657 orders yesterday. The total is only 1,570 orders. Compared with hundreds of thousands of views, it is really just a fraction.
.
Xia Zekai hoped that this method would attract him a steady flow of traffic in the future. As for the transaction volume of tens of thousands, he did not think it was an exaggeration.
After all, at the end of last month, the daily offline transaction volume exceeded 10,000.
Boss Xia is now more worried about not being able to keep up with production. He asked: "Xiao Zhang, can Lao Li's production still keep up?"
"It's okay now. We have some inventory in the early stage, but we can't store this thing for too long. The inventory is tight and sold in the store. Brother Li also said that if this continues, we will definitely not be able to supply it. We must
Just work two shifts." Zhang San relayed what Li Mumu said to Xia Zekai.
This is what Li Mumu meant, he must make up his mind.
"Okay, I understand. I'll call Li Yuanyang later and ask. Once everyone is here, we'll start two shifts." Xia Zekai said.
It is easy to run two shifts, but it requires qualified personnel.
After hanging up the phone on Zhang San, Xia Zekai didn't hesitate and directly dialed Li Yuanyang's number. Now he was working against time and he didn't want to lose.
After the call was connected, the two of them chatted politely for a while and then got down to business.
"Brother Li, how's the recruitment going?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Li Yuanyang didn't expect Xia Zekai to be so urgent. He just said it yesterday morning and asked more questions today. He said: "Now two people who have done baking before have asked, but they haven't decided yet. In addition, dry packaging is easy to find."
, there are already three of them, I will ask them to come find you tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Li. The baking operators still have to work hard. If it's not possible, those without baking experience can do it. I will arrange for someone to train them." Xia Zekai also worked hard, even lowering the conditions.
We will wait until the huge increase in orders is digested.
He was so proactive, but it made Li Yuanyang feel inexplicable pressure. He always felt that what he did was not good enough, which made Xia Zekai give up the bottom line again and again.
"Brother Xia, please do me a favor. I'll do my best here." Li Yuanyang posted the relevant information in the work QQ group of 'Yuanfang Manpower' that night, asking several of his business managers to contact the baking staff as soon as possible.
He also revealed something, working at 'Jingtong Baking', the basic salary plus overtime pay, plus part of the performance salary, the comprehensive income is 3,000 to 5,000 yuan. At this moment, even 3,000 yuan is a properly high salary.
.
Sure enough, after adding in income, there were suddenly more people consulting.
These people seemed to appear out of thin air. They had been silent before and just observed secretly. When they saw the high income, they stopped diving and immediately appeared.
So much so that on the morning of the 17th, Xia Zekai sent his daughter to kindergarten, and when he rushed to the factory, he saw a total of 8 people waiting for interviews.
Li Yuanyang personally drove them here in a van. This van was really good at carrying people.
"Brother Xia, this time you finally fulfilled your mission. If you still want more people, I will continue to recruit them," Li Yuanyang said.
Xia Zekai was happy, but it was obviously not enough. He said, "Brother Li just needs to recruit people. I'm going to open two shifts. I'll let you know when there are enough people."
"..." Li Yuanyang was stunned. He was a bakery product maker. He moved from a small store on the second floor to the workshop and factory. Production and sales were separated. It was already outrageous to triple the production scale. Several times
After recruiting people to expand the scale, we actually had to open two more shifts.
Incredible!
He asked: "Brother Xia, can I visit our factory?"
"Okay, let's do this. I'll ask Lao Sun to take you, Brother Li, to see our factory. I'll interview them first." Xia Zekai pointed to the eight people waiting.
Li Yuanyang agreed.
Xia Zekai called the old accountant Sun Guoqiang over and asked him to take Li Yuanyang around the workshop and explain it to him.
As for leaking secrets, Xia Zekai is not worried at all.
If the recipe for melting beans in the first three months was a secret, he would have sold it for 40,000 yuan.
Now there is no secret at all, but there is a strategic weapon, which is the QQ space log to divert traffic to Taobao stores. This thing depends on one's personal understanding.
Xia Zekai developed so quickly because the diary he wrote was very topical, and also because he dragged Bian Ning to reprint it on Sina.com.
After an interview, Xia Zekai left 6 people, including a boy and a girl. Xia Zejiang felt that they were a bit naughty and looked wrong in their eyes, so he kept asking, "Can I work less overtime?"
Will I buy insurance later?
Clearly considering things that are not theirs to consider.
Xia Zekai really wanted to reply to him, if you don't work overtime, what will I earn?
After this incident, Xia Zekai also had the idea of establishing a human resources department.
Including him and Lao Sun, who was the last person to join last month, there are 13 people in the company. Plus the 6 people just recruited today, there are 19 people. It is a complete small group.
As the factory expands in the future, it will recruit more people, and there will also be a lot of interviews, staff attendance, training and other issues. He, the boss, cannot do everything himself.
"We have to recruit someone." Xia Zekai firmly thought in his heart.
After making arrangements here, let the two losers go back directly.
Xia Zekai called Zhang Xu again. After Zhang Xu received Xia Zekai's call, he asked him for his address and drove over in the old Jetta without saying a word.
"Brother Xia, just tell me if you have anything to do." When Zhang Xu came over, he gave Xia Zekai all the factory-related qualifications and certificates that Xia Zekai entrusted him with last time.
"This is the qualification of the factory, take a look." Zhang Xu said.
He felt particularly emotional that Xia Zekai could be said to be the strangest person he had ever met, bar none.
The development speed is too fast, and people know the rules very well. They will give you every penny of the money you should pay, and they will not lower the price.
This behavior seems a bit silly, but if you look carefully, you will find a problem. It is precisely because he is very generous with his prices that you work very hard when you work for him.
To put it simply, I want to do the same thing for two people at the same time. This one will give me 100, and the other will give me 80. The difference is not much, but which one will I do first?
Xia Zekai didn't know what Zhang Xu thought about him. After he scanned his ID card and found that there were no problems, he said: "Xiao Zhang, I just hired 6 new employees here. Only two of them have health certificates. The rest
The four of them still need to trouble you."
Zhang Xu was extremely happy when he heard that Xia Zekai had given him another job. Even if it was a small business like helping to apply for a health certificate, it didn't matter. No matter how small a mosquito's legs were, they were just meat.
"Brother Xia, don't worry, I promise to handle it properly for you." Zhang Xu expressed his stance.
He then asked: "Do they all bring their ID cards? If so, come with me now and go to the hospital for a physical examination. I will get the ID card for you within three days."
This is the foundation of professionalism.
Xia Zekai asked the four people without health certificates to follow Zhang Xu, including two dry-packed ones.
Xia Zekai is not short of the hundred and ten dollars. He has already done it, and he will be tough when talking about it in the future.
He asked Li Mumu to bring the remaining two baking operators with health certificates to the workshop, and Li Mumu explained to them the operation and safety precautions in the workshop.
Xia Zekai went to find Li Yuanyang.
At this time, Li Yuanyang and Sun Guoqiang were standing in the designated packaging area. Looking at the piles of cardboard boxes that were as big as a hill, Li Yuanyang was really stunned. He had never seen such a scene before. Today, he could
It was really eye-opening.
"Master Sun, are these all your Taobao orders? For this month?" Li Yuanyang asked him.
In fact, Li Yuanyang already knew it, but how could this be possible?
When Sun Guoqiang talked about this matter, he felt inexplicably proud in his heart. He felt more accomplished than when he had worked in the steel factory all his life: "Boss Li, this is the order from our factory yesterday. It has not been completed yet.
Yesterday, we placed more than 900 orders and shipped them all, and today it looks like we can exceed a thousand."
"Then what's your daily turnover?" Li Yuanyang was really curious this time.
Sun Guoqiang smiled "haha" and said nothing.
More to say.
Li Yuanyang came to his senses after asking. He asked too many questions, so he changed the question: "How much does this box of melted beans cost?"
"Well, the prices in our store are 5 yuan, 10 yuan and 15 yuan per box. However, our Taobao store offers free shipping, so the Taobao store only sells the 15 yuan per box, which has more taste.
." Sun Guoqiang did not hide this, and he knew it after just a little inquiry.
As soon as he said this, Li Yuanyang knew it in his heart, and he silently calculated it in his mind. He finally said "Wocao", it was tens of thousands!
If it is really so popular, how can this small factory with about 20 people earn 1 million a month?
That's an exaggeration!
He was a little unsure of the context.
Xia Zekai came over: "Brother Li, what are you thinking about? I called you twice and you didn't answer."
"Hey, Brother Xia, have you finished the interview?" Li Yuanyang asked him.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Six of the eight people stayed. The other two seemed a little unsure, so I didn't stay. I gave them taxi fare and let them go."
"Hey, why are you paying for it? I can just take them back." Li Yuanyang sighed with emotion.
From this small detail, we can also see that Xia Zekai is indeed a good person, and his achievement is not a fluke.
"Brother Li, you have helped me a lot this time. Don't leave at noon. I will treat you to a meal and let's talk." Xia Zekai said directly.
Li Yuanyang also wanted to chat more with Xia Zekai. He was now very interested in Xia Zekai, so he agreed.
Following Xia Zekai to his office, Li Yuanyang couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Xia, I would like to ask, is this Taobao store really profitable like this?"
Xia Zekai didn't expect him to ask this, but he still said boldly: "This is not necessarily the case. Just like when we open a store, there are still some things that are not profitable."
"Hey, why did I forget this?" Li Yuanyang was discouraged. He had just planned to open a Taobao store himself.
Anyway, he did it by himself, so he didn't waste any time, but Xia Zekai was right. He only saw that Xia Zekai made money, but he didn't see those people who lost money and couldn't even afford to buy underpants.
"Brother Xia, you are really amazing!" Li Yuanyang was filled with emotion.
They kept chatting in the office, and at noon, Xia Zekai drove into the van he just bought, called his old accountant Sun Guoqiang, and went to the Oasis Ecological Park.
He can handle a meal by himself no matter what, but the treat is never shabby.
Li Yuanyang felt really good about it, and kept saying that there was no need to come to such a good place.
"Brother Li, you are my noble person. You have helped me solve the problem of insufficient staff several times. I have to ask you back for anything I say."
Xia Zekai is very insistent on this point.
After three drinks and five dishes, Xia Zekai and Li Yuanyang were almost done drinking. On the way back, the driver turned into Old Sun, who had been drinking juice during the dinner.
This is his role.
Li Yuanyang couldn't drive after drinking. Xia Zekai was a good man and asked Sun Guoqiang to drive Li Yuanyang back in his car, and then asked Sun Guoqiang to take a taxi.
At the same time, he posted on the recruitment website the recruitment of the head of the human resources department of 'Jingtong Food Factory'.
It's better to find a professional for this, and don't do it casually.
In the workshop, Zhang San and Liang Wenxiao were still communicating with customers in front of their customer service. After having two newly recruited skilled baking operators, Li Mumu obviously felt that the pressure was much lighter.
He told Xia Zekai that in three days it would start operating in two shifts of 12 hours.
It was the 20th, and Xia Zekai nodded in agreement.
Li Mumu also mentioned another thing. Man Nana was asked to take charge of the other class. They were all veteran employees who knew the basics, so they were assured that nothing would go wrong.
"Okay, you can make arrangements for this and work hard. It's just the beginning. Our days will be better in the future!" Xia Zekai patted Li Mumu's shoulder and spoke firmly.
