Chapter 201. The Secret of the Pawnshop
Times have changed, so have pawn shops.
Lin Yi’s impression of the pawn shop is just a “family” business. Several old Chaofengs are responsible for the platform to do business. The boss behind him knocks his legs and crosses his dry tobacco pipes in his mouth. The house is filled with messy pawns.
But now, if the newly opened pawn shop still engages in this "playing method", it is necessary to pay for it.
The current pawnshop is accurately divided into three relatively large functional departments, namely: the business department is responsible for storefront mortgage work; the business department is responsible for going out to find business and attracting customers for the company; the investment department is to reinvest the mortgaged items as capital.
From these three functional departments, the business department needs very professional appraisal knowledge to be competent for mortgage and loans of items. The business department needs strong communication skills and can create wealth for the company. Not to mention the investment department, they are all elites among the elites. They must have a keen investment vision and rich investment experience to help the company make money from actual combat.
It can be said that among these three departments, the sales department has the lowest salary, and those apprentices who follow the class only cost a few hundred yuan a month, while those experienced "Lao Chaofeng" have tens of thousands of dollars. The business department has strong business capabilities. With a generous commission, 30,000 yuan a month is a pediatric department, and 50,000 or 60,000 yuan is also very common. As for the investment department, it starts at 70,000 or 80,000 yuan--
It is honored that Lin Yi was assigned to a "high-paying" business department and became a glorious "salesperson". Unfortunately, his "business" ability is really poor. He estimated that he would only get a basic salary of 1,000 yuan at the end of the month. As for 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, no one can imagine it.
Lin Yi is so miserable. I really don’t know if he should thank the guy from the Human Resources Department or hate him. It would be great if he assigned himself to the sales department, at least he has something to do. Now he is crowded among a large group of professional "salesmen", and he seems so idiot and useless.
Lin Yi has always been not good at socializing with people, let alone running around business, and he can make people laugh and flatter and flirt with his eyes - he can't do all these. Even if he doesn't do these, he can't do the "three diligences" that salesmen must have, making calls, running errands frequently, and collecting information frequently.
Lin Yi is born a casual person and doesn't like this kind of business work that is fast-paced and efficient every day and constantly cheers up himself.
But his colleagues are different. Although they do nothing in the office every day, they seem to be spending time slowly, they are all blinding their eyes and ears. They run more hard in private and make more calls than anyone else, for fear that their performance will be pushed beyond the other party, and they will only have a basic salary by the end of the month.
Poor Lin Yi, it was too late to understand that everything was coming. He should have understood that Xu Haoming and Xu would not be so kind, so he would let himself join his company for a monthly salary of 30,000 or 50,000 yuan; there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no high salary that can be obtained without effort.
As a new "waste" in the business department, Lin Yi can say that there is nothing to do. Let him call - who to whom? Lao Cao, Lao Guo, or coach Huang? Ask them if they are short of money and whether they need a mortgage?
Let him run for business -- where to go? My sister's hotel, Nandu Caishen Temple, old book stalls, and used bookstores? These are the places he is familiar with.
Let him attract customers--who should I attract? Dong Jingjing, Wang Heizi, or Liu Sanliang, who set up a street stall to sell books?
So Lin Yi had nothing to do. Every day, he just lay on the table and took his eyebrow pen to draw, and then turned around between his fingers. He felt completely idle.
No, I can't continue like this anymore. This is simply the legendary "tomb of the Living Dead". You must find Mr. Xu to be transferred to a post.
Unfortunately, Boss Xu has not answered his phone call these days, and I don’t know if he is too busy or deliberately avoiding him.
...
On this day, Lin Yi looked at the business department and saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he ran to the elevator in the lobby on the first floor, hoping to meet Xu Haoming.
You know, Lin Yi has done his homework in this regard. Xu Haoming has many companies, but he has been very concerned about this pawning company recently. Especially as the end of the year approaches, many companies and individuals are short of money to spend, so pawning shops have become the easiest place to benefit. It is also worth it that he cares more.
But after wandering around for two days, Lin Yi did not find any trace of Xu Haoming. Either Lin Yi, the "old friend", never came to the company, or it was too elusive. However, Lin Yi really couldn't think of any need for him to be elusive, and he was not a big star in the entertainment industry.
In the end, Xiao Song solved the problem of Lin Yi. When Lin Yi invited Xiao Song to dinner for the second time, he pretended to ask her inadvertently, "Why did you seem to have never seen Mr. Xu come to the company? It seems that this pawn shop is under his direct jurisdiction? It is said that he should come and go."
Xiao Song didn't raise his head, and was competing with a hairy crab, muttering, "I guess I'm going to Nanjing. He is going to prepare a company there..." He suddenly stopped talking and looked at Lin Yi nervously.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, "Nanjing is a hidden dragon and a creeping tiger. I didn't expect Mr. Xu to have such great courage to do business to Nanjing." His tone seemed to take this seriously at all.
Xiao Song breathed a sigh of relief, then put down the hairy crab in his hand, and lowered his voice mysteriously, "If you know this alone, forget it, don't talk nonsense to the outside."
"Why? This is not a good thing." Lin Yiqi said.
Xiao Song looked around and said, "Isn't this the end of the year? The company employees are waiting to pay benefits and bonuses, which is a lot of money. Now Mr. Xu's capital chain has some problems and needs to be slowed down, so the matter of starting a company in Nanjing must not be leaked." Seeing Lin Yi nodding, she continued, "If everyone knows that he has money to start a company but has no money to pay benefits, then it will be a mess..."
Lin Yi couldn't help but interrupt, "Can't the benefits be distributed later? Why are you so anxious?"
Xiao Song rolled his eyelids, as if he rolled his eyes and looked like he was flirting. "You said it nicely. Do you know? The year-end bonus is basically your two or three months' salary. Everyone needs money during the Chinese New Year. If you lose this money, don't say that your wife is unwilling, maybe even your mother-in-law is unwilling!"
Lin Yi smiled, "I'm not married yet, where did I get my wife and mother-in-law?"
"That's why you say you are full and don't know that you are hungry. Just your salary is not enough to even get stuck in your teeth during the New Year."
Lin Yi was ashamed, yes, I guess he could only live with a basic salary. The New Year’s Eight Hundreds are really not enough to be stuck between the teeth.
"You must not tell this, otherwise I will die..." Xiao Song told me worriedly.
Of course, Lin Yi would not do such things that harm others and do not benefit himself, but he suddenly had an idea, a very good idea, which might be able to solve his current problems.
There is no way, it is not easy to survive in the workplace.
So he said to Xiao Song: "Then please help me adjust my position!"
Xiao Song was not jealous, so he smiled at Lin Yi, "It's okay to transfer the job, it depends on whether you are up to you---I heard that the nearby Shengtang bar is pretty good..."
Lin Yi: “…”
...
To be honest, Lin Yi really doesn’t like places like bars. He thinks it’s too messy and smoky. It’s better to have a refreshing time when you go to the nearby tea.
But it is obvious that Xiao Song is definitely not the kind of girl who likes to drink tea slowly. Because as soon as she entered the bar door, Lin Yi found that she began to get excited as if she was injected with chicken blood, and her body twisted involuntarily. The handsome guys and beautiful girls who were holding the door seemed to be familiar with her and kept saying hello to her.
The Shengtang Bar is very big. The first floor is a performing arts bar. The second floor is a little refreshing and not that noisy. Lin Yi’s choice is of course the second floor. Lin Yi and Xiao Song were about to drill upstairs one after another, but they heard a voice, "Oh, this is Lin Yi. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. Come and show it to my brother..."
Lin Yi turned around and saw a man with a briefcase in his arms, but with a red-haired man in glasses, looking at him with a smile. Who is not the agent bear? There is a man next to him, and he is also looking at him curiously at this moment.
Lin Yi's head hurts. How could he catch him here? He rarely came to the bar and encountered a "ghost".
Agent Xiong's eyes were circling up and down, looking at Lin Yi and Xiao Song, and then laughed and said with a slut: "You are still so sharp when you haven't seen each other for many days, one after another, Hong Kong and mainland China are both right there, Hong Kong..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi hurriedly blocked his mouth and asked politely: "I wonder who this friend is?"
Agent Xiong then said "Oh", "His name is Wu Kai, he is the owner of this bar. We are talking about the performance. How about it, be young and promising!"
When Lin Yi heard that this handsome guy was the boss of Shengtang, he immediately noticed that Xiao Song beside him immediately had his eyes lit up. He couldn't help but feel funny. It seemed that girls still like rich financial backers.
Wu Kai is 1.8 meters tall, with a square face, quite heroic, and he looks straight and handsome. In addition, he is a bar owner in Shengtang, so it is worthy of being loved by girls.
However, it is obvious that this rich young man in the bar is not interested in women like Xiao Song, but seems to be very interested in Lin Yi. He actually said to Lin Yi very enthusiastically: "I have long admired Daming, and I will definitely have a drink after a while."
Lin Yi was stunned, "I have long admired Daming? Where did you start?"
Wu Kai smiled and said, "Mr. Xu and I are friends---" and blinked.
Needless to say, Lin Yi fully understands.
"Okay, but I wonder if there is still a place above? It's too noisy below..."
Wu Kai smiled and said, "Of course there is, no one else has come, you, Lin Yi, must have a place. Since you are the friend of the eldest young master, that is, my friend, you can drink it casually today, and I will sign all the contracts for you, brother."
Lin Yike didn't plan to eat and drink for nothing. After all, he was a little money, so the cost was affordable--but it didn't matter in such an occasion, so he would go there.
But Lin Yi is not a fool either. As the saying goes, he is short of his hands and soft-hearted in his mouth. Maybe something will happen later. There is no way. This is intuition---
