Chapter 99: Further expansion of the sea and sky, standing still will eventually perish
It was almost nine o'clock, and Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun finally coaxed Yatou and Tongtong to sleep. Xia Zekai went to the second bedroom as usual, turned on the desktop computer, and started writing today's diary.
Unlike the usual story of recording the growth of the two little sisters in one day, Xia Zekai wrote something different today.
The title is "My career is about to take a crucial step."
There is also a dash on the next line, which reads: If you go further, the sea and the sky will expand, if you stand still, you will eventually perish!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of typing on the keyboard resounded in the second bedroom. Xia Zekai was completely focused on this diary. He felt like he was having diarrhea. He turned on the switch and couldn't stop the pleasure of leaking water. He didn't even notice Luo Xiyun.
Came in.
Seeing that he was busy, Luo Xiyun was afraid of disturbing him, so he stepped on his feet when walking.
Then she stood behind him and watched silently for a while, especially when she saw the sentence "Standing still will eventually perish", she felt a little palpitated, and subconsciously grabbed the back of the swivel chair. The movement was not big, but she still held it.
Xia Zekai, who was fully focused, woke up with a start.
He turned around and saw his wife, and said with a smile: "Xiyun, when did you come in? I didn't notice it just now."
"I just came here and saw you writing this." Luo Xiyun pointed at the computer screen and said.
"Write whatever you want."
Xia Zekai asked her: "Why don't you go to bed? You won't go to work tomorrow?"
Luo Xiyun nodded and said: "I'm at work. Didn't I just say that I have something to talk to you about."
"Look at my brain, I have forgotten it. Tell me, what do you want to talk about?" Xia Zekai looked at her with soft eyes.
Not to be outdone, Luo Xiyun looked into Xia Zekai's eyes and asked, "Zekai, you resigned. Are you under a lot of pressure, so you have been struggling endlessly?"
"Why do you say that?" Xia Zekai felt quite puzzled. I didn't bother much.
Luo Xiyun was a little excited. She said, "Didn't you tell me that you just rented a small second-floor apartment with a rent of 25,000 yuan a year, right?"
Seeing her husband nodding in recognition, Luo Xiyun continued: "Zekai, you have only started working for a month. The business is indeed good, but you can't stand the trouble."
"You just bought two garages at the beginning of the month, and it almost wiped out all the money in the house. It's just in the middle of this month, and you rented a small second-floor apartment. We can only make money by running around, but it's not that fast."
"Let me ask you, if something unexpected happens to your family at this time and you need a lot of money, can you come up with it?"
The more he spoke, the more excited Luo Xiyun became, and his voice became a little higher.
"Why don't you tell me about such a big thing? At least let me be mentally prepared."
When Xia Zekai heard this, he understood and blamed himself for being in a hurry to sign the contract and forgetting to tell his wife.
"Okay, Xiyun, I'm not right about this, and I apologize to you."
"But don't worry, we will definitely make money." Xia Zekai stretched out his hand to hold his wife's hand, and patted the back of her hand with his other hand to comfort her gently: "The reason why I went to find a new place is because we are here now.
The shop is too small. I want to add another piece of equipment and two people, but there is no room."
"Also, let me show you something..."
As Xia Zekai spoke, he turned back, logged in to his AliWantWant account, clicked on the background data, and said, "Xiyun, come and take a look, we have had more than 100 orders so far this month.
There are nearly ten orders a day, and this is because we didn’t spend any money on attracting traffic, and we didn’t do any promotion. Think about it, if we did attract traffic and promote it later, how many orders would there be?”
"The garage is too small now and we simply can't handle it. I predict that we will have more orders in the next step, but it will be limited by production capacity and lead to the loss of customers."
"So we must break the bottleneck and increase production capacity. In this case, we must purchase more equipment and recruit people. And the next two ovens may not be enough. I may buy them again. You said I will continue to work in that garage.
It’s simply unrealistic to go down.”
Xia Zekai spoke eloquently, and what he said was reasonable and well-organized.
Luo Xiyun understood everything and didn't refute again this time. She pouted and said: "No matter what, you should tell me at least. I don't know anything. You said something so abruptly that it scared me."
"Okay, I will tell you in advance next time." Xia Zekai promised.
After Luo Xiyun's anger passed, he calmed down: "Please tell me in detail."
Xia Zekai told her in detail about the small two-story building he rented. After he finished speaking, Luo Xiyun frowned slightly: "According to what you said, this small two-story building is much larger than other shops along the street. The rent is not the same.
It’s not too high, what’s going on?”
"Hey, we owe another favor. The owner of the second floor is a friend of Sister Pan. They probably asked for a small price because of Sister Pan's face." Xia Zekai was very melancholy.
It's easy to repay borrowed money, but it's hard to repay favors!
"That's it..." Luo Xiyun said he understood.
She said: "Call Sister Pan another day and treat her to a meal."
"Well, I'm going to call the owner in when the time comes..."
It's Wednesday in the blink of an eye.
During the past two days, nothing unexpected happened. Luo Xiyun went to her class as usual. Although Yatou and Tongtong didn't really want to go to kindergarten, they still obediently sent their father to the kindergarten every day.
During the rest of the time, Xia Zekai and Li Mumu were busy together in the small shop. Taking advantage of the time and there were not many customers, they made more melted beans and packaged them in advance.
Once digested within two weeks, there will be no problem.
During this period, Xia Zekai, with Wei Runan's consent, talked with Guo Ying, the waitress in her store.
Guo Ying learned from her boss that the clothing store was going to close. She had already had a premonition, but she was still a little sad and had to find a job again.
Unexpectedly, before she even looked for it, her boss introduced her to a new job, and the working place remained the same.
She was speechless at the time, this was so bloody.
Guo Ying went to meet Xia Zekai, and the two chatted. Xia Zekai had a general understanding of her business capabilities. When it came to accounting-related knowledge, Guo Ying did know a lot. She was also very knowledgeable about tax filing.
Based on the principle of using only talents, Xia Zekai offered her a basic salary of 1,300 yuan, and just like that, the 'Jingtong Baking' shop had a second employee.
On the other side, Guo Ying was very happy, but she didn't expect that the new boss would offer her a "high salary".
She knew in her heart that in Qicheng, a salary of 800 or 900 for someone with a college degree like her was a popular standard, and 1,300 was too high, not to mention that it was just a basic salary.
The new boss also made it clear to her that she would get overtime pay for overtime work, but they would not buy insurance for the time being.
She is still young, and she feels that she would rather earn more money now. It doesn’t matter whether she buys insurance or not. She can buy it later!
