Chen Lishu’s question led everyone to deep thought. As the atmosphere in the room quieted, a man in his thirties stood up from the crowd and said calmly:
“Ms. Chen, you must already have a more suitable sales method, right? If so, please just state it directly so we can follow your orders. Why waste time discussing matters with no outcome?”
Chen Lishu leaned back against her chair lazily, appraising the man with interest, and asked, “What’s your name? And how did you know I had an idea?”
“Ms. Chen, my name is Han Liang. As for how I knew you had an idea, it was through observation, of course.” At this point, Han Liang’s eyes brightened. Under Chen Lishu’s gaze, he continued, “I am quite well-known in the food industry. I specifically wrote down my previous employment experience when I applied, yet I was assigned as a mere salesperson.
At the time, I questioned if my abilities were not suited for your company. However, after one round of interviews, I noticed everyone else was also assigned as a simple salesperson. From that moment, I understood that the company had no intention of hiring management. A company without management has only two possibilities: either it’s a new company with an inexperienced boss, or the boss personally manages every aspect of the company’s affairs.
Shu Se Group is an enterprise under your leadership, so the first possibility is ruled out. The second possibility aligns perfectly with the current situation. How could a boss managing a company not have countermeasures?”
Looking at the man who analyzed the situation so logically, Chen Lishu nodded, “You are correct, I do have an idea.
Our ham sausages are slightly different from those on the market. We’ve added some crispy bones, which enhance the texture compared to other ham sausages, and the flavor has also undergone significant changes!
My intention is for you to find street vendors and have them all use our ham sausages. The benefit we offer is a new way to prepare snacks! I want to become a supplier to all snack stalls in Kyoto!”
“New snack preparation methods?” Han Liang became interested upon hearing this and asked, “Can you elaborate?”
When Chen Lishu heard this question, she began to hesitate. It wasn’t that she was completely ignorant of this; otherwise, she wouldn’t have proposed the idea. The issue was that there were too many future snack varieties, such as hamburgers, scallion pancakes, and cheese hot dogs, all of which require ham sausages. She didn’t know which one to teach first.
After a moment of deliberation, Chen Lishu finally chose the scallion pancake from among many recipes. She said, “We can make scallion pancakes. This involves placing a hot dog, an egg, some vegetables, and our exclusive spicy sauce inside a thin pancake! It can serve as a main meal or a snack. Big Wind Novels.
I know some things may not seem significant when explained verbally, so once you start working, I will provide specialized training. Then, you will disseminate this technique.”
Han Liang licked his lips upon hearing this method and asked in a husky voice, “Isn’t this method similar to the fanbao from the Eastern Third District?”
The Eastern Third District? It seemed this Han Liang was indeed a man of broad knowledge! Chen Lishu nodded and said in a casual tone, “They are similar, but the taste is different, with significant variations.”
Han Liang felt this method was feasible, as the taste of fanbao still lingered in his memory, refusing to fade.
He was extremely picky about food. While not everyone might agree with what he endorsed, he was willing to follow Chen Lishu’s lead.
With this thought, Han Liang’s attitude became completely proactive. He then raised a crucial question: “The method you mentioned is not unworkable. However, I worry that after these vendors get the method for making scallion pancakes, they might choose to cooperate with other ham sausage companies. Then we would have spent time and effort for nothing.”
“Who said I only have this one snack recipe? I have hundreds of snack recipes in my mind, and in the future, I plan to earn franchise fees from these recipes.
As long as you pass them on, vendors who cooperate with our company will receive new snack recipes at irregular intervals, provided they use the ham sausages supplied by the company.
It’s best if these vendors don’t have any ulterior motives. Every purchase of roast sausage will be recorded. As for these records, I will assign you to various regions as company agents. Do you have any objections to this arrangement?”
“None. Our only request is that once the ham sausages are developed, we can taste them to better understand the product for sales.” Han Liang said, rubbing his hands expectantly.
Thinking this was not a big deal, Chen Lishu readily agreed.
After the sales matters were mostly settled, Chen Lishu asked Zhang Bin to call in the general workers.
Since she was providing the machines and recipes, the general workers didn’t have many instructions. The main focus was discussing salary matters.
As soon as these people entered, Chen Lishu got straight to the point: “I know you are all concerned about your salaries. My work rules are simple: just be diligent. As for salary, the base pay is three hundred yuan per month for an eight-hour workday. Any hours worked beyond eight will be compensated at two yuan per hour as overtime pay.
To ensure food safety, everyone must wear the company-customized uniforms when entering and leaving the factory. I also need to inform you in advance that the factory will be installing surveillance cameras. I know many of you may not have encountered this in your previous jobs, and some might feel uncomfortable.
It’s alright. I respect everyone’s opinion. If you cannot adapt, you can choose to leave now. But if you choose to stay, you must perform your work diligently!”
Upon hearing this, all the staff present were stunned. Three hundred yuan a month was tens of yuan more than at other factories. The most crucial part was the overtime pay. If one worked twelve hours a day, that would be four extra hours, or eight yuan, which amounted to over two hundred yuan in subsidies per month!
Hearing such generous benefits, how could those who came for the money refuse? Forget about cameras; even if they installed guns and cannons, they would stay today!
Soon, everyone agreed to Chen Lishu’s installation of surveillance cameras in the workplace.
Seeing this, Chen Lishu quickly had Zhang Bin present the already prepared contracts to everyone. After they signed, the day’s work concluded.
