Chapter 9: Sticks and Sweet Dates
Joshua was saddened.
Under the observation of the past few days, he originally thought that the new boss might be easier to bully, and planned to try to bully it today, but now it seems that his calculation was wrong, and Fernandez is not easy to bully at all.
Chen Geng didn't know Joshua's little abacus, but even if he knew, he didn't care, since he had allowed others to work part-time, Chen Geng's brain hole couldn't help but be bigger: "Lao Ji, you also know the commission I give to the sales staff, how about it, are you interested?"
Hearing Chen Geng's words, White's eyes suddenly lit up, and then dimmed again: "I'm interested, but I can't come to you to wash the car......"
"Who asked you to come to the car wash," Chen said angrily: "I'm asking you to introduce customers to me! Aren't you doing the job of dealing with you, if you meet a customer who has the intention of buying a car, don't you introduce him to me? I don't treat you badly, every time you help me successfully introduce a customer, I will give you the same commission as everyone, and if someone wants to sell a car, as long as the car is in good condition, you can also introduce it to me, the same is indispensable for your benefits, how about it?"
White didn't hesitate for even a second, and immediately said, ", why don't you do it?"
As Fernandez said, the bank loan officer is a job to deal with people, when chatting with customers, listening to customers want to sell or buy a car a lot of times, there was no such relationship and access before, now there is such an opportunity to make money, fools do not grasp it.
"Alright, that's it...... I almost forgot, the credit limit of 50,000 US dollars is good, I am quite satisfied, when you go back, you will give mine to your supervisor, and don't forget to ask for benefits for yourself. ”
........................
White left happily, this time he was very satisfied, as if he saw piles of dollars beckoning to him, it was the black buddy Joshua, looking at Chen Geng bitterly, no different from the puppy waiting for the owner to feed.
"What?" frowning, Chen Geng was a little dissatisfied.
Joshua grimaced: "Boss, there's too much work......"
Chen Geng thought about it, and also felt that Joshua's work was a bit heavy, one person really couldn't be busy, the important thing is that although he was busy these days, Joshua complained and complained, but he didn't delay his work, for the black buddy, it was too difficult to do this, in this case, it didn't hurt to reward him. Having made up his mind, Chen Geng looked at the black buddy: "Joshua?"
The black buddy snorted, and immediately laughed all over his face: "Boss?"
"The company will set up a cleaning department, you are the person in charge of the cleaning department, and all full-time and part-time car washers will be under your control in the future, how about it, are you interested?"
"I'm the manager of the cleaning department?" The black buddy who was a little worried just now, and the big white teeth of Le came out at this moment: "There are also full-time ones? Interested, of course interested." ”
"As you can see, our sales will definitely get better and better," Chen Geng asked, "So you think you can complete the daily cleaning task with only a few students working part-time?"
"Of course not," Joshua's head shook like a rattle, "I think in the future we will be able to sell an average of 20 cars a day, and we will need at least two full-time cleaners." ”
"That's it," patting Joshua on the shoulder, Chen Geng said earnestly: "Your task is very heavy, not only to manage your subordinates and part-time students, but also to inspect and audit every car that has been washed, so I decided to ......"
Boss: Is this going to give yourself a salary increase?
Sensing that his salary was going to rise, Joshua's breathing became unconsciously heavy.
Chen Geng didn't sell it either: "As the manager of the cleaning department, you have 200 dollars more than others every month......
That's only $200 more? Joshua was a little disappointed. But the next moment, he suddenly cheered up, because Chen Geng's words hadn't finished yet......
"On top of that $200, you can get a dollar from your men for every car they clean. ”
"So they only get $19 for cleaning a car?" asked Joshua.
"That's right. ”
"But...... You just told Mr. White that his sister could get $20......"
This is indeed a problem, Chen Geng thought for a moment, "Oh, his sister is an exception, everyone else can only take 19 dollars." ”
Joshua's mouth immediately grinned at the base of his ears!
Not to mention that he washes a car more than others by $1, let's just say that now, the company can get a commission of $1 for every car sold, according to the company's current business trend, it should not be a big problem to sell five or six hundred cars a month, and then count the $200 more than others, this month is at least seven or eight hundred dollars more than others...... God, this is almost equivalent to a month's salary of other people, with such a high salary, what is it to be tired?!
Joshua grinned, his back molars exposed: "Boss, rest assured, I won't let you down......"
"Don't be too happy too early," Chen Geng waved his hand and looked at Joshua meaningfully: "If you can't complete the inspection and supervision work, you will be fined, and if the problem is serious......"
What happens if the problem is serious? Of course, the boss thinks he's incompetent and kicks himself away.
Thinking that he has no ability, he is a guy who eats by strength, if he is kicked away by the boss, where will he go to find such a high-paying job with a salary of more than $2,000 a month?
After a stirring spirit, Joshua hurriedly said: "Boss, please rest assured, I will not let you down." ”
....................................
Joshua, who was promoted and made a fortune, left happily, Chen Geng touched his chin thoughtfully: "It seems that the manpower needs to be expanded." ”
He didn't expect that the first wave of expansion of his own company would come so quickly, and he couldn't expand without thinking.
First, Joshua's cleaning department will need to add at least two full-time employees;
Secondly, there must be at least 2 experienced automotive engineers who are familiar with car maintenance to share the work of diagnosing the fault of the car.
Secondly, the scale of sales and reception should also be expanded, although the current customers of the Fei company are their own initiative to find the door, but this model is not the norm after all, with the expansion of the next business volume, with the heel to think of two or three kittens can not meet the needs of the business at all......
After counting on his fingers, Chen Geng found that at least 6 more people needed to be added, and he did not rule out the possibility of further increasing manpower with the expansion of business volume.
Since there was a need for this, there was nothing to hesitate about, so I greeted Miss Rachel and told her to paged herself if there was anything important in the company (yes, the American imperialism at this time was such a cow), and picked out a 1972 Lincoln continental MARK 4 from the consignment car and drove out.
Looking at Chen Geng, who was in a straight suit and driving a Lincoln Continental, the boss of the employment agency ran out of the office in a puff of smoke, and while diligently helping Chen Geng open the car door, he asked Chen Geng with a smile on his face: "Sir, welcome to Tom's employment agency, I am Tom, we have the most complete job search materials in the whole of Michigan, how can I help you?"
Americans also talk about face and pomp, saying that Americans don't care about face, go out and turn left and face the wall for half an hour, do you think you can enjoy the same treatment as Lincoln Continental by driving a tattered Beetle?
"My company's business is expanding, and I need to add a few more people," Chen Geng said reservedly: "Everyone says that you are good here, and I hope you will not let me down." ”
"Sir, I assure you, if you can't find a suitable person here, you won't find anyone else who meets your requirements," the chubby Tom smiled as brightly as a blooming chrysanthemum, "whatever kind of person you need, I can find it for you, as long as the price is right." ”
Chen Geng smiled, sat down on the soft sofa with a big prickly sting, and looked at the chubby boss with a scrutinizing face: "First of all, I want two engineers in the field of automobile maintenance, they must have rich experience, and their cars can accurately find the fault through observation and a few minutes of driving, is there a problem?"
Fat Tom's spirits suddenly perked up: Sure enough, it's a big fat sheep!
"Yes, of course there is," the fat man with a glittering eye nodded again and again: "The impact of RB cars has been very strong over the years, and many auto workers and engineers have been dismissed, I happen to have some here, don't tell you sir, these guys are really good hands, but the price is ...... Hey hey ......"
The fat man is telling the truth, RB automobile companies entered the United States from the 60s, from the late 60s and early 70s, this time just in time for the first oil war in 1973, the United States produced those cars with an exhaust volume of 5 liters and a fuel consumption of 30 liters per 100 kilometers. After several years of continuous publicity and promotion, the share of Japanese cars in the American automobile market has exceeded a quarter.
Japanese automobiles occupy a quarter of the U.S. auto market, which means that U.S. automakers have lost more than a quarter of the market, Detroit, known as the Motor City, has also ushered in a wave of large-scale unemployment that began in 1974, with an average annual unemployment rate ranking first among major cities in the United States.
