1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 42: We can totally cooperate!
Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this, and then he touched his nose awkwardly: "Um... Master Yang, I have already decided. When I get the year-end bonus and early retirement compensation, I will go and explore the world with Manager Yan!"

Yang Mo's face showed an expression of "as expected", and he looked at him with a smile: "So you plan to instigate me to resign and then follow you?"

Sun Jian scratched his head and said, "Master Yang, to be honest, I came to see you today just for this matter... To be honest, with your smart brain, it's really a waste of talent to stay in the drilling company all day... I can guarantee that if you are willing to go there, you can at least get this amount a month! And it will only get more and more in the future... Although there is no official position there, to be honest, this salary is really not low!"

Looking at the number on Sun Jian's finger, Yang Mo's face was filled with sorrow: "Thank you Captain Sun for your appreciation, but I think people should know their own limitations... A salary of 700 yuan a month is too much for a young man like me with no experience!"

Sun Jian shook his head: "Master Yang, I know you don't think highly of this little money. After all, working in the drilling company, including quarterly bonuses, year-end bonuses, holiday benefits and daily labor insurance, it is almost 400 yuan a month. In addition, as a formal employee of a central enterprise, a monthly salary of 700 yuan is not very attractive;"

"But this is the most sincere thing I can offer after discussing with Manager Yan! You know, the average employee of Xialiu Tongxiao Commune currently only has a guaranteed salary of 50 yuan a month. Even Manager Yan only gets 80 yuan a month... And since the commune will not be able to distribute large-scale dividends in the next two years, it can be said that your monthly salary is equivalent to an ordinary employee's annual salary. You are definitely the best in the commune!"

Hearing this, Yang Mo looked at him with a strange expression: "Although I am touched by your sincerity, I am surprised... I am a rookie who just graduated from school, am I worthy of your attention?"

Sun Jian heard this and sighed, "To be honest, if it was three months ago, we would never have offered this salary to a fresh graduate. Even if the king of heaven came, he would not have offered this level of salary... After all, we are a commune. While emphasizing more work, more pay, we also need to emphasize fairness."

"However, after the incident two months ago, we held several meetings to reflect and were surprised to find that, up to now, labor is not the primary productive force, and capital is not either... Compared with the first two things, this is the primary productive force!"

Pointing at his head, Sun Jian looked at Yang Mo with a complicated expression: "Master Yang, you may not understand how much impact your words had on everyone afterwards - no one could have thought that a bunch of purple sweet potato vines that looked worthless could be sold to foreigners at an incredible price; no one could have thought that the lumps of purple sweet potato that grew out of the soil could be sold for more than gold as long as the growth cycle was controlled and a little processed!"

After sighing heavily again, Sun Jian concluded: "In the final analysis, I suffered from my lack of education. If I had known that purple sweet potatoes were so valuable, and that this insignificant thing could be played with like this, why would I have borrowed so much money in the first place!"

Hearing this, Yang Mo looked at him with some surprise: "Oh? Did you later investigate the international market situation of purple sweet potato drinks/foods?"

In Yang Mo's inherent impression, these days in the north, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a township enterprise, it seems that they only focus on the domestic market and those big relatives. Even if someone points out opportunities in overseas markets to them, these enterprises often turn a deaf ear - but if Sun Jian and others had not specifically gone to investigate and disprove it, they would never have said what they just said.

Sun Jian nodded. "The day after you returned, Manager Yan asked people everywhere to find out about the current situation of purple sweet potatoes in the international market. Later, he learned some information from a South Korean businessman through trial and error... It can be said that it is basically the same as what you said before, Master Yang."

"Hehe, Master Yang, you weren't there during those days, so you don't know how smoothly we negotiated with those waves of South Korean businessmen... Those businessmen wanted to lower the price at first, but when they heard us quote the market price and supply price of golden vegetables in their country, their eyes almost popped out, and in the end they had no choice but to sign the contract according to the price we quoted!"

"It is precisely because of this that we held a three-day reflection meeting... Those small details that we had never noticed before, any one of which could save us tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses; those things that we used to take for granted, if we just enhance their ingredients and forms, we can sell them for ten or even a hundred times the price... This kind of insight is definitely not something that rough guys like us who are trapped in a corner can have... To be frank, this is not something that an ordinary college student who has just graduated can have."

"So, after our unanimous discussion, as long as Master Yang is willing to come to our commune and become our consultant, we will offer you the most sincere treatment even if we have to go hungry... This treatment is not only reflected in the basic salary. When the financial situation of the commune improves in the future, we will definitely not treat you unfairly in terms of dividends!"

Yang Mo recalled what Yan Laoxi said when he asked Su Yu to transfer the commission to him, and felt a little strange: "Oh? A unanimous decision... Manager Yan also meant this?" Sun Jian's expression suddenly became interesting. After hesitating for a long time, he said awkwardly: "Manager Yan neither agreed nor opposed."

Yang Mo smiled and thought that this was right. Unlike commission, dividends involved equity. Although he and Comrade Yan Laoxi had only spoken less than twenty sentences in total, based on his initial observation, that guy might be very generous, but he would definitely not let go of this matter.

But looking at it like this...

Seeing that Yang Mo had become silent again, Sun Jian could not help but urge him, "Master Yang, I don't know what you think... The consulting position reserved for you may not have much power at first glance, but as long as you say it, no one dares to disobey you."

No one dares not to listen?
I'm afraid no one would dare to disobey it unless it works every time, right?

Why not try it when you make a small mistake or the results don’t meet your expectations?

Yang Mo looked at Sun Jian meaningfully and smiled, and he had some guesses about this guy's plans.

After thinking about it, Yang Mo shook his head and said, "Forget it, Captain Sun. As I said before, I am just a rookie who just graduated from school. I don't deserve your attention... I think we should just forget about it."

Sun Jian was a little anxious when he heard this: "Master Yang, I know you have misunderstandings about us and think we are not formal, but I can guarantee that as long as you go there, you will definitely change your mind in less than three days..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Mo: "Captain Sun, you misunderstood me. What I meant was... although for my own reasons, it is unlikely that I will be able to work as a consultant for you for the time being, but if there is an opportunity... we can still cooperate!"

"Cooperation?" Sun Jian looked at Yang Mo in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Yang Mo chuckled, "You just need a marketing consultant, right? It's that simple. Once you are undecided, you can ask me for advice. It's not like I have to work for you... No salary required, just a per-session fee, no karma involved, payment in full... You see, what a good deal!"

Pay per view?

Not deeply involved in cause and effect?
Looking at the smiling Yang Mo in front of him, listening to this slippery but rejection-filled answer, Sun Jian suddenly felt his mouth trembling violently...
