Chapter 20 Salesman
Guo Yifei stood at the door of DreamWorks and looked at Li Yixuan, who came out, and looked at him quietly without speaking, his eyes were full of complexity. These 15 people were brought by her, and she didn't know if what she was doing was right or wrong.
Li Yixuan also looked at her like this, he understood the other party's mood very well, if it was changed to another time and space, this kind of thing would be commonplace, but put it here. Li Yixuan's words to Guo Yifei that day can be called a big rebellion. If he is in the mainland, he will have only one end, eat guns.
Many people in later generations could not imagine that era, let alone the people of that era. But he is real.
Guo Yifei looked left and right, looked at the 15 more people who were willing to come with him, and then looked at Li Yixuan, "There are 15 people who are willing, I brought them with me, please don't let them down." With that, he walked away.
Li Yixuan felt an unprecedented heaviness in his heart. He knew that Guo Yifei had taken a big risk this time. Once the people in China know that they have the intention to her, she will basically be finished.
Therefore, he can only succeed and not fail, and once he fails, he is sorry for Guo Yifei's trust in him.
Recruit people to the conference room on the top floor, let Liang Ning and others register them one by one, ID cards, passports, which university in China they come from, which school they study in the United States, and where they live after coming to the United States, all of which are recorded.
Although international students can work, the United States has restrictions on international students to work, and the restrictions on international students in various states are different, so Li Yixuan must have a basic understanding of them, only those who meet the requirements of part-time jobs will be stayed, and those who do not meet will be sorry and can only leave.
Obviously, this group of international students has been screened by Guo Yifei and fully meets his requirements.
"The monthly basic salary is $500 plus commission," after the grade was completed, seeing that everyone met the requirements, Li Yixuan said straight to the point.
Originally, he didn't plan to give a basic salary, but Liang Ning told him that it was illegal to do so in the United States, so he added the basic salary. 500 per month, which is the minimum salary of a salesman in Silicon Valley, but only white people can get the same salary. People of color, especially Chinese, are paid up to 200 per month.
And it is not certain whether you can get it or not, Liang Ning told him that no matter how good your sales performance is, it is good to get half of the sales commission of Chinese people in the United States. There's nowhere to sue if you want to.
Double standards, how can Li Yixuan not understand.
It depends on whether the company has a future, once the company encounters difficulties, Chinese employees are the first to be laid off, no matter how strong your business ability is. This has led to the phenomenon of ordinary job-hopping among Chinese working in the United States.
And ordinary job hopping makes American companies have a worse impression of them and are more reluctant to hire, thus creating a vicious circle.
These are two completely different phenomena from the Chinese who later came to the United States to work. Later, Chinese migrant workers frequently changed jobs in order to obtain higher incomes and a better life.
At this time, the Chinese job-hopping was more out of desperation.
In fact, at this time, the United States was not like later generations, and many American companies, especially traditional ones, were very disgusted with employees who frequently changed jobs. Because it takes a lot of time and energy to train a qualified skilled worker, of course, it doesn't want the hard-working employees to jump ship.
When Li Yixuan said that the basic salary was $500, many people were not calm. They've all been in the U.S. for a while and know what a $500 base salary means.
Looking at their eyes full of disbelief, Li Yixuan's heart rose with sadness, in the United States is not a business run by Chinese, but they have never treated their compatriots equally, but they are more exploited than those whites. With a base salary of $200, it is very conscientious to be able to get it. Even the later generations of Lu/Guan/Ball failed to do it.
"The $500 base salary is of course real, and if you don't believe it, you can write it into the contract, and it will be paid at the beginning of each month. Li Yixuan knew empty words, and the other party would definitely not believe it, so he simply went straight to the real money.
called the finance, and handed the basic salary to everyone in person, and everyone's faces looked a lot better.
Before they did anything, the company paid them salaries, and many people felt embarrassed and asked what they wanted to do.
"Come here," Li Yixuan led everyone to the warehouse at the back, pointed to the two arcade machines and said, "Your task is to sell them, and I will give 100 dollars for each one sold." ”
Li Yixuan turned on the power, and after the boot screen, he put in a 25-cent coin and demonstrated the gameplay to everyone.
Li Yixuan died after 10 levels alone, and then said to everyone: "There are coins in the box, you can experience it yourself." "A few more arcade machines were opened, including Squirrel Wars.
Everyone began to experience it, and it didn't take long for them to become addicted, and the shouts came and went. Li Yixuan casually found a place to sit down, quietly waiting for them to finish the experience.
As if it had been agreed in advance, an hour later, everyone consciously stopped.
Li Yixuan nodded in his heart, he had strong self-control and was not addicted. Well, these people are manufacturable. Even he himself doesn't necessarily have such good self-control.
"So what about these two games?"
One boy replied, "It's great, it's so funny, I'm almost hooked." ”
A girl seemed to have found a problem, "The game is so fun, why didn't even one be sold?"
This sentence raised everyone's nerves, yes, since the game is so fun, why can't it be sold? Everyone looked at Li Yixuan.
"That's why I'm here for you. So Li Yixuan told everyone the situation that after he came to the United States, not a single arcade machine was sold, there is nothing to hide, everyone can know if they inquire a little.
After listening to Li Yixuan's story, everyone's brows furrowed. No wonder they came to me, it was an impossible task.
People have been running all over the place and have not been able to sell one, can they do it themselves? Everyone is a little bit out of the way.
But when I think that I have already taken the money, can I still withdraw, and I will be defeated before I fight, and I am so useless?
No, you have to find a way to sell it, and you will get a commission of $100 if you sell one, where to find such a good income.
So, everyone started to think about how to sell these things.
At this time, Li Yixuan reminded: "I don't care what method you use, for every arcade machine sold, I will give him a commission of 100 US dollars, ten units is 1000 US dollars, think about where can I find such a good income?" Finally, he stretched out three fingers, "I will give you 3 months, and I will pay your basic salary for these three months, if you don't sell a single machine, then you can only roll up and leave." ”
Three months is the bottom line given by Li Yixuan, because it will take three months for the new store to be renovated, and the game hall will open after three years, and at that time, everyone knows that DreamWorks' arcade can make money, and everyone is rushing to buy it at that time, and then they will sell the arcade machine, even if they sell more, is it still useful? Li Yixuan will not raise a bunch of waste.
