Chapter 33: A Contractor with a Thin Face
Huang Liting's evaluation of herself is that she is famous. Back then, she was also a well-known beauty in ten miles and eight townships, and she also went to high school in the county seat, which is very rare among rural girls. It's a pity that when she graduated from high school, she hadn't resumed the college entrance examination, so she had to go back to her hometown to farm.
Later, someone introduced her to a technician in a large factory near the river. With the admiration of cultural people and the expectation of jumping out of the countryside, she married her current husband Cai Yue and became a member of the family of Linyi Machine's employees.
When she first got married, she thought about finding a job in Linhe. But it was the early 80s, and the government's main focus was on the placement of unemployed youth, although she was also unemployed and her age was among the youth, but she did not belong to the children who were born and raised in Linhe, so the policy of resettlement of unemployed youth did not concern her. She can only be honest at home and teach her children and be a housewife who has no future.
Later, she joined the Labor Services Company and was assigned to work as a salesperson in an Eastside store. She has a flexible mind, diligent hands and feet, coupled with beautiful people and a good service attitude towards customers, which has won the praise of many customers. However, this did not bring her any benefits, on the contrary, some old ladies said behind her back that she was showing off her style and not doing it properly. For these people, it seems that only by looking at their customers can they be worthy of their high status as domestic workers.
Because of this, Huang Liting became cynical, feeling unpleasant to see everything, and scolded her manager twice in three days, laughing at him for not being good at management, and criticizing the store for being superficial. Because she dared to make trouble, every time the employees wanted to fight for welfare and treatment, she was the one who came out to take the lead, which made her win the recognition of everyone. While slandering her beauty and charm behind her back, everyone regarded her as a spokesperson for their own interests.
Huang Liting also knows this kind of duplicity of everyone, but she disdains to deal with these people. In her opinion, these people don't deserve to make her angry at all, and the reason why she stands up for everyone is just to kidnap these people and use her as cannon fodder, so that when she makes any outrageous demands to the leader, the leader will not be able to embarrass her because the law does not hold the people accountable.
Her husband Cai Yue is an ordinary technician in the technical department of Linyi Machine, honest and honest, in her words, purely a wreck. Huang Liting gives many people the impression that she is very romantic, and a considerable part of this is because she is beautiful, and beautiful women are always prone to some misunderstandings. In fact, Huang Liting is very loyal to her husband and family, and it is precisely in order to make the living conditions of her family better that she will show up everywhere so openly and seize every opportunity to seek benefits.
The business of the store in the East District is sluggish, and Huang Liting has always seen it. She had wondered countless times what she would be able to do if she managed the store herself. Over the years, all walks of life have been engaged in contracting, and she also had the idea of contracting stores in the East End. She firmly believes that if she were to contract the East End store, there would be no problem in doubling the gross profit of the store, and she, as a contractor, would naturally be able to make a good contract income from this performance.
When she discussed the idea with Cai Yue, Cai Yue shook his head like a rattle and raised hundreds of objections from the perspective of a technoman. However, what really stopped her was her distrust of the leadership team of Linyiji at that time. It was a corrupt leadership team, and if she could really make some achievements, it would be impossible for the leader not to reach out and ask for benefits, and then she would probably become a fool to marry others.
At the beginning of his tenure, he dismissed Zhang Jianyang, deputy director of the factory office, sold his mobile phone and Mercedes-Benz cars, and reimbursed the retired workers in the factory for medical expenses. The cadres and workers in the factory only saw the integrity of the new factory director, but Huang Liting thought that her opportunity might be coming.
While she was thinking about how to go to the factory director to talk about contracting the store, Tang Zifeng, the assistant director of the factory in charge of the labor service company, came to the store in person, called on everyone to brainstorm, and gave an example of the vegetable market preparing to realize the transformation by renting out stalls.
Huang Liting has a preconceived good impression of this young assistant factory director, which comes from Tang Zifeng's academic qualifications and his handsomeness. A beautiful man can always make women of all ages have some inexplicable affection, and the reason for this can only be proven from biology. Huang Liting did not rush to throw out her thoughts, but first said some vague words, and successfully incited those middle-aged sisters-in-law, asking them to charge forward and test Tang Zifeng's true intentions.
When everyone had said the same, she also observed the disdain on Tang Zifeng's face, which was difficult to detect, and then she spoke surprisingly and directly put forward the idea of contracting the store. Although her husband Cai Yue has always opposed her idea, she doesn't care. In her family, Cai Yue can only have a say in international events such as the Iraq War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, and when it comes to internal family affairs, she makes all decisions.
"Hehe, contract shop, that's good. Tang Zifeng smiled and said, "Can you tell me about the specific contracting conditions?"
"I promise to complete a gross profit of 100,000 yuan within one year, and hand over no less than 30,000 yuan of profit to the company. If I can do that, I hope the company will agree to give 20% of the profit as a bonus for everyone, and another 10% of the profit as my contract bonus. Huang Liting said.
"What, you take 10% alone? We have so many talents to get 20%, you're too greedy, aren't you?" a woman blurted out.
Huang Liting glanced at her and said disdainfully: "Sister Wang, if you have such a ability, you can also take 10% by yourself." ”
"I don't have the skills,...... But it's too ...... for you to take 10% alone," the Wang sister muttered, and someone next to her tugged at her sleeve and signaled her not to talk too much, and she shut up stupidly.
Tang Zifeng watched this scene silently, and waited until no one spoke, and then he said to Huang Liting again: "You just said about the bonus, if you can't earn 100,000 gross profits and can't hand over 30,000 yuan of profits to the company, what should you do?"
"What if? Then I won't take the bonus. Huang Liting replied confidently.
Tang Zifeng shook his head: "That's not enough. How can there be a reason why you don't need to be responsible if you do a good job and win an award? If you follow your conditions, everyone here also wants to contract, anyway, just try it, what if it can be done?"
As soon as these words came out, the previous Sister Wang suddenly became active, and said loudly to the person next to her: "That's it, I will also contract such a good thing." ”
Huang Liting turned her head and stared at Sister Wang with cold eyes, Sister Wang didn't feel it at first, but after noticing Huang Liting's gaze, her volume dropped from 80 decibels to absolute silence at a perceptible speed. Huang Liting is ruthless to the leader, and she is also ruthless to her colleagues, and there are not a few people in the store who have been scolded by her.
"If I can't do it, deduct half of my salary!"
Huang Liting gritted her teeth and said to Tang Zifeng.
"Okay! bold!" Tang Zifeng cocked a thumbs up at her. It is really not easy for Huang Liting to make this statement. Although it is only half of the salary, it is also a condition that ordinary people dare not accept. After all, it is not a simple matter to double the income of a store with a gross profit of only 50,000 yuan a year within a year.
"That's it, let's start this meeting here today, everyone will go back to work first, and you can discuss this issue again in your free time, and see if there is anyone like Master Huang, who is brave enough to shoulder the heavy burden. Master Huang, please stay for a while, I want to hear your specific thoughts on the contracted store, do you think it's okay?" Tang Zifeng said.
Everyone got up in a mess and whispered about going back to their respective posts, and several people cast unkind glances at Huang Liting before leaving. Huang Liting is willing to come out to contract the store, creating an opportunity for everyone to share 20% of the profits, and everyone is happy to see it. But at the same time, she demanded that she get 10% of the profits, which made most people unhappy.
Why can we only take a little bit of money when you can take so much money? We treat you as a colleague, but you want to be our boss, and you still have to be ashamed?
Huang Liting understands the psychology of these people too well, and she also feels that these people are not worthy of being her colleagues, and she is only worthy of working for herself. Even for the current manager Zheng Bin, she is full of disdain. In the past, she felt that there was no one in the entire Linyi machine who deserved her respect, but now, this assistant to the factory director, Tang Zifeng, could barely get into her eyes, at least a person who made her feel that she could look at the same level.
After the salesmen left, Zheng Bin beckoned Tang Zifeng, Zhang Jianyang and Huang Liting to his office. He gave up his seat to Tang Zifeng to sit, sat on a few folding chairs with Zhang Jianyang and Huang Liting, and then said to Tang Zifeng with a smile:
"Assistant Tang, let me introduce to you, her name is Huang Liting, she is a family member of Cai Gong of the Technology Department, she has been working in our store for seven or eight years, and she is an advanced worker every year. Xiao Huang's mind is very active, everyone knows this. However, Xiao Huang has never told me about the contracted store in the past......"
Tang Zifeng waved his hand, signaling that Zheng Bin didn't need to say any more, and then he turned his head to look at Huang Liting and said, "Master Huang, you just said that you wanted to contract the store, I think your courage is commendable." But it's not enough to have courage to do things, I also have to know what you have in mind. You should know that a year is very precious, if you don't have specific measures, you waste a year in vain, deduct half of your salary, there is no benefit to the factory, the lost opportunities in the factory are priceless, don't you say?"
