Chapter 12 Preparations
In the few days after the store was confirmed, Li Yuhao's work was not easy, but busier.
Every day, the routine work of brushing up on performance consumes an hour or two of his time, and then it takes more than an hour to take the subway to the university town, even if you just count the distance from his dormitory to his shop in the university town, it takes at least more than 50 minutes.
Such a waste of time and efficiency must not continue like this, so the first thing Li Yuhao did after deciding on the location of the store was to find a house.
Finding a house is much easier than Li Yuhao's search for a store, and he is much more experienced. Li Yuhao's requirements for accommodation are not high, just two points, one is to have a rooftop on the top floor, and the other is to have complete basic household appliances. The reason why he chose the top floor and the rooftop was to consider that there should be a place to plant seasoning crops, otherwise the small place on the balcony alone would not be able to support the amount of seasoning needed by a restaurant, and he did not choose to rent land to grow crops, the reason is simpler, he has no money. Most of the university town is developed, and it is difficult to find an agricultural land to grow his spices, and if the spices are planted in remote places, he cannot take care of them alone, so it is also a problem. As for the basic household appliances, needless to say, the main thing is that Li Yuhao is not in the mood to pack a new accommodation now, what he needs most now is a place where he can move in directly.
This kind of place is not difficult to find in Shigang Village, because this is the most remote urban village in the university town, and there are only a few buses, so there are few students or social people who are willing to rent a house here, so there are many vacant houses in the village, and the rent is not expensive.
It only took a morning for Li Yuhao to find his favorite dormitory, a dormitory on the first floor, the house he fancied was on the 6th floor of the top floor, 500 yuan a month, pay a mortgage, air conditioning and hard seat sofa, computer desk, one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, and a small balcony, the other side of the stairs is the rooftop. The rooftop occupies a large area, and the most important thing is that Li Yuhao did not find that anyone put clothes and quilts on the top floor to dry. Li Yuhao asked the landlord if he could let him plant some plants on the rooftop, and the landlord also agreed, but said that he should be careful not to cause inconvenience and harm to others.
So Li Yuhao happily signed a contract with the landlord, paid 1,000 yuan in rent, and got the room card and key from the landlord.
As for the dormitory where Li Yuhao lived before, Li Yuhao planned to ...... I still have to keep renting. Because Li Yuhao's house still has 3 months to expire, and his contract is signed with a second-hand landlord, not only is the house price expensive, but also a special death, he is in the form of paying a mortgage and two, if he tells the landlord now that he wants to quit the rent, the landlord must be very happy to swallow his two months' rent, and don't want to get it back. It would be better to pay an extra month's rent and three more months to rent. The house is relatively close to Li Yuhao's current company, and the company has some urgent matters in the future, and there are many places to rest, besides, this place Li Yuhao also plans to use it to open up a new planting base, as an effective supplement to the rooftop planting base, so as to make the best use of things!
Dealing with the problem of the house, Li Yuhao kept shopping for salted fish in the online second-hand market, and bought the balcony planting boxes and plastic boxes that he had been optimistic about before, because they were second-hand, so Li Yuhao was able to buy them back with two or three percent of the original market price. Li Yuhao purchased a total of about 20 plastic boxes from different merchants, filled in the address, and after paying more than 300 yuan online, he sat and waited for the express delivery.
But he doesn't really have the time to wait for the courier to come to his door, he still has a lot of things to do. The first problem to be solved is the problem of money, he only paid 10,002 to the original middle-aged boss in the first installment of the store, according to the treaty, the right to use the store has to wait for Li Yuhao to pay another 12,000 yuan to him, so Li Yuhao does not have the key to the store at present. And Li Yuhao raised about 14,000 yuan before, and there were originally 15,000 yuan, but I don't know how Li Yuhao spent it during this time, and unconsciously only 14,000 yuan was used to get out of the credit.
14,000 yuan, gave a deposit of 12,000 yuan, left 2,000 yuan, rented a new house, spent 1,000 yuan, left 1,000 yuan, bought 20 plastic boxes, left about 700 yuan.
What can he do with 700 yuan? I'm afraid that in a few days, he won't even be able to afford to pay for his daily performance.
I really don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive!
Fortunately, the clerk who handled the credit card had already told Li Yuhao that his credit card had been approved, and he was waiting for the headquarters to send him the card in a few days. With a new credit card, Li Yuhao swiped it out with the POS machine, which should be able to alleviate some of the urgency!
Putting aside the matter of money for the time being, another problem that needs to be solved urgently is manpower! Originally, Li Yuhao thought that when the store was rented, he would post advertisements to recruit workers, and anyway, he would not have to pay his salary for the first month, so the pressure on his funds would not be so great.
But it's naΓ―ve to think about it now. During the period of looking for a store, Li Yuhao saw advertisements for recruitment posted outside the store, but there were few stores that recruited employees who wanted him, besides, Li Yuhao's store still had his trade secrets, and Li Yuhao, an employee at the beginning, still wanted to find a more reliable and honest one.
If you don't recruit workers, you can only find them among your acquaintances. Don't look for friends who are too familiar, otherwise when the store conflicts, and when it comes to interests, you can't even be friends, and you don't look for "friends" who rarely contact, because you are not familiar with each other without contact, let alone trust value, do you want Li Yuhao to tell him, do it with me, eat and drink spicy food in the future, buy a house, buy a car and take a daughter-in-law, and go to the peak of life! Even if Li Yuhao really says it, someone has to believe it!
After sleeping and tossing and turning over and over for the past few nights, racking his brains, Li Yuhao finally thought of a good candidate......
At around eight o'clock in the evening, in the office of Kuaigou GZ Branch, Chen Dongqi gathered the team members and was holding a review meeting.
"Li Yuhao, you are paying 300 yuan a day, can you work harder, work harder! Don't give me such an embarrassing data every day. Chen Dongqi said dissatisfiedly to Li Yuhao, who was sitting on a soft chair and playing with his mobile phone.
"Plus, I even have the strength to breastfeed, and every day I beg my grandfather to tell my grandmother to let the boss place an order, and my face is about to be brushed. Li Yuhao responded lazily.
"You don't have to ask, you have to find a way to get the boss to voluntarily place an order, so that it will last for a long time, and begging for an order will not last long!" Chen Dongqi glared at Li Yuhao and said.
"Then you're here, you're here!" Li Yuhao said to Chen Dongqi, since renting a store and preparing to start his own business, Li Yuhao has a lot of confidence, the big deal is not to do it, why is he always subject to the yin and yang weirdness of the supervisor!
"Did the company pay you to do this?" Chen Dongqi was angry and asked loudly.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong, the company didn't let me do this by spending money, I had to learn with an open mind. But I really can't get this ability, or you teach me, I'll take you to my market tomorrow, and you teach me how to make the boss voluntarily place a big order and order more and bigger payments!"
The rest of the team looked at Li Yuhao in disbelief, is this still the relatively gentle Li Yuhao in their impression? Could it be that he has been taken away by someone?
"Forget it....... I'll talk to you privately after the meeting. Chen Dongqi was angry with Li Yuhao, and he wanted to lose his temper and finally controlled it, and decided to chat with Li Yuhao privately.
Li Yuhao was noncommittal, anyway, he didn't have any scruples now! It just so happened that he sent a WeChat message asking his friend Huang Zerong when he would get off work, and Huang Zerong said that he would get off work at half past eight tonight. simply started WeChat by himself, Chen Dongqi didn't pay attention to him when he saw it, and treated it as if he didn't see it.
After Huang Zerong replied to Li Yuhao's message, he asked again, "What's the matter?"
"Have a meal together in the evening. Li Yuhao typed.
"Yes. Okay, when?" Huang Zerong quickly replied.
"I'll call you when I get back from work. Li Yuhao replied.
"Yes. β
"By the way, by the way, call your wife and ask, is your wife working now?" Li Yuhao asked again.
"Oh good, not yet, what's the matter?" Huang Zerong asked curiously.
"I'll tell you at night!" Li Yuhao sold a pass and ended the WeChat chat.
At this time, I just heard Chen Dongqi scolding Wu Siyuan, he didn't sell much goods during this time, and threatened him that it was very dangerous now, Wu Siyuan's reaction was more intense than Chen Dongqi imagined, and he also said to Chen Dongqi, if the company really thinks that his business ability is not good, the company will fire him! This is obviously a problem of the company's product strategy, why should this pot let BD carry it! Don't talk about those companies spending money, this is meaningless!
Chen Dongqi couldn't answer for a long time!
Chen Dongqi, who came back to his senses, had no interest in continuing the meeting, and said some official words early, asking the salesman to continue to work hard to sell goods, and then ended the meeting, leaving Li Yuhao and Wu Siyuan, and the three of them found a small office for a private chat.
To Li Yuhao's surprise, Chen Dongqi, who chatted with them privately, did not use big official words to pressure them, nor did he threaten them with company policies, but talked to them about chicken soup, career growth, and career development, he said, "Everything you do here is virtual, nothing more than to make money, but in the process, the growth you get is real." What policies of the company, maybe very far from the market, it is really difficult to push down, sell, I know this, we supervisors have also responded many times in meetings, but it is useless, the top of the company is pushed down for us to complete. Now that the task has been issued, then we are the soldiers who have been shot, working hard, with all our might, and trying our best to complete it. If such a difficult problem can be solved, then in the future, you may not be in this company, but you don't have to be afraid of which company you go to and what task indicators you encounter!
Li Yuhao listened quietly on the side, but he was shaking his head in his heart, can't he come to Huairou if he is hard!
Then Chen Dongqi said, "The company will carry out a promotion debriefing after a while, you are all more optimistic about me, now work hard, do a good job in performance, you have a great chance to go to the management post, to be honest, you are not young, you have to consider developing to a higher level, you can't be a little BD at an old age, right......?"
A "heart-to-heart" chat ended in an atmosphere of silence and quiet nodding between Li Yuhao and Wu Siyuan, as for everyone's inner thoughts, it is not enough for outsiders!
After the chat, Chen Dongqi pushed open the small office door and went out, and found that the rest of the team hadn't left yet, so he half-suggested and half-ordered, "It's just that everyone is so together, let's go have a barbecue together." β
Everyone else was noncommittal, but Li Yuhao said, "I still have something to do, so I won't go." β
"What's the matter with you? There was something wrong last time, and there is something wrong this time? Part of the money for such a barbecue is still your 100 yuan contribution, and you don't want to eat the capital back?" Chen Dongqi joked rarely.
Li Yuhao laughed dryly a few times and said, "There's really something wrong! I made an appointment with a friend for dinner tonight, it's not good to miss the appointment! You go and eat, anyway, there will be a chance next time!"
"You kid....... okay, by the way, what have you been doing lately? I told you that a few credit card customer service people called to confirm your information....... Chen Dongqi asked suddenly.
"Haha, poor big brothers, I'm running out of money to pay the rent, get a few credit cards first to be prepared!" Li Yuhao said haha.
"Forget it, since you're not available, go down. But the credit card matter, I'll tell you as a person who has come over, it's better to be in moderation! Don't become a card slave!" Chen Dongqi shook his head and said.
"Got it. Li Yuhao smiled.
