I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 167 Xinlin's Salary Increase
In the afternoon, Qingque Clothing.

Wei Lin and Hua Hongshan met.

"I've already asked Jiang Ze to select the batch of goods Jinxiu Boutique wants. It will be shipped tomorrow morning at the latest."

Hua Hongshan, wearing a full set of Qingque sportswear, sat quietly beside her desk. She handed a stack of papers to Wei Lin and said, "We've signed contracts with quite a few sports venues in Linjiang City. Most of the ones we didn't reach an agreement on were asking for too high a price, and I don't think it's worth it."

Wei Lin nodded slightly and looked through the membership numbers and visitor numbers of those gyms, as well as the prices signed with Qingque.

"As for men's clothing, I will design a few styles in the next two days, but production will take time."

Hua Hongshan continued as she observed him, "Wei Lin, shouldn't you tell me the final price for the contract you signed with Li Qinling?"

She asked the finance department to transfer the three million yuan signing fee, but she still felt a little unhappy.

She and Wei Lin had just reached a cooperation agreement and didn't want to quarrel over official differences in such a short time.

But she also has a temper and her own bottom line.

She felt that Wei Lin was disrespectful to her by reaching an agreement with Li Qinling's agent without prior notice.

She was worried that Wei Lin would continue to sign stars like Li Qinling, causing the account to be stretched again.

Hearing this, Wei Lin smiled calmly and said, "This happened suddenly, and I didn't communicate well with you. This is my negligence. Miss Hua, please trust my judgment. I think Li Qinling is worth much more than this price. Now we are getting a great bargain."

Hua Hongshan frowned. "I looked up Li Qinling's fan base, listened to a few of her songs, and watched the films and TV shows she's starred in. Honestly, Li Qinling isn't particularly outstanding in appearance, and her acting is average, except for a few songs. For a star like her, isn't three million too much?"

No wonder she has such concerns.

Without having met Li Qinling in person and knowing her uniqueness, it is indeed difficult to conclude that she will become a big hit in the future based on a few songs and the works she has starred in.

"Miss Hua, how about we make a bet?"

Wei Lin smiled.

"Bet?" Hua Hongshan was surprised.

"Twenty days later, Li Qinling's new song 'Light and Spirited' will be released. I bet this song will be all the rage on the internet, and I bet our Qingque clothing brand will be able to become famous thanks to this new song!" Wei Lin shouted.

"What will you do if Qingque doesn't become popular and becomes famous as you said?" Hua Hongshan asked.

"I'll invest an additional three million into Qingque, and our equity shares will remain unchanged." Wei Lin chuckled and continued, "If Li Qinling's new song becomes a hit, I'll have the right to make decisions at any given moment without any communication with you."

Hua Hongshan thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"

……

In the next few days, Wei Lin's life was as dull as water.

The Bluebird has been put on sale at Jinxiu Boutique, and just as he and Gao Yuan expected, the sales of the Bluebird are very poor.

Of the three thousand pieces of clothing that Jiang Ze carefully selected, only more than two hundred were sold in just a few days.

Customers do not recognize the Qingque brand and do not think it is worth the price. Customers who choose it are truly knowledgeable and pay for its fabrics and designs.

Gao Yuan also said that judging from the current situation, it would be difficult for Qingque to gain a foothold in Jinxiu Boutique.

On the contrary, Xinlin’s “Lin” brand hats are selling well because they are reasonably priced and not as alternative as the “Ni Mo” brand.

The two brands, "Lin" and "Nimo", one good and one evil, have both established a firm foothold in Jinxiu Boutique and have achieved sustained and stable sales.

Jiang Cong and six other internet celebrities also had poor results in promoting Qingque Clothing.

Fortunately, Jiang Cong offered a high signing fee, and he personally liked Qingque, so he got paid for every video promotion advertisement, and he had no objection.

Wei Lin’s Douyin fans have gradually increased to 4763.

He gained a lot of favor through his social media accounts, but the women who offered him favor had little stickiness.

When he removed the mask effects and completely revealed his face, and posted some videos of playing ball, exercising, fighting and daily work, some strange women also showed their favorability.

However, they are not like Lin Nanxi, Zhuang Qing and others who can make continuous contributions day and night.

……

Tuesday, October 1nd.

Love value: 2785/5000.

Through the accumulation during this period, the love value required for the next breakthrough has finally reached half.

In the morning, Xinlin Hat Industry.

Finance Officer Sun Xiaomiao smiled brightly as he informed everyone about Xinlin's operating status this year. Through foreign trade orders, its own two major brands, and the share of cosmetics, Xinlin earned nearly 20 million this year.

Xinlin received more than 7 million yuan in revenue from cosmetics alone.

The "NiMo" brand hats earned nearly 10 million yuan with the help of major channel dealers and cooperating internet celebrities.

Although the "Lin" brand was launched relatively slowly, it also brought Xinlin more than two million in revenue.

Then there are the OEM orders, which add up to more than four million.

Compared with previous years, Xinlin made huge profits this year, with its profits increasing many times.

"Next year, Xinlin will continue to expand! We still have land and can continue to build new factories!"

Old An was so excited that his neck turned red. He said, "Those foreign trade orders alone are enough to keep Xinlin busy. Our own hat brand is also well accepted in the market. This is the key to our high profits!"

"It's just that most of our hats are made by three other companies. If we expand our factory next year, we will have the production capacity to produce our own hats." "Next year will definitely be better than this year!"

His words and the financial statements that Sun Xiaomiao placed in front of everyone made everyone feel confident.

"I told you, that guy Tang Qiang wants to acquire us on behalf of Qi Feng. It's a complete joke!" Purchasing Director Duan Yunpeng grinned. "Tang Qiang was kicked out by Qi Feng. Now I don't know where he's getting drunk. He still wants to show off at Xinlin. He has no idea how much he weighs."

Everyone spoke enthusiastically at the meeting and the atmosphere was lively.

Wei Lin smiled and said, "The 15% salary increase will start this month. This year's year-end bonus will be doubled for all of you, including the employees!"

After hearing this, everyone became more excited.

With a 15% salary increase and doubled year-end bonus, Xinlin’s leadership and every employee’s income has exceeded Qi Feng’s.

The best in Linjiang City!
"There's no need to hide it. You can tell all the employees today. When we start recruiting next year, we'll give them a higher salary. We at Xinlin are not short of money." Wei Lin said with a smile.

……

Qifeng Hat Industry, company cafeteria.

During lunch.

Several employees in work clothes ate from lunch boxes containing four dishes and a soup, and huddled together, whispering to each other.

"Have you heard? Xinlin Hat Factory, yes, that small factory, is giving all employees a collective salary increase starting this month!"

"My friend works at Xinlin Hats. She used to work so hard, making only around 4,000 yuan a month. Now, with the super-high year-end bonus, her salary is over 6,000 yuan, almost 7,000 yuan!"

"Seven thousand? Is that true? We only make a little over five thousand in Qifeng. Even if we work ourselves to death, it's hard to make more than six thousand!"

"Is the salary at that small factory so high? If the salary is really stable, I would switch to Xinlin!"

Qi Feng's employees were talking about it.

They knew some of Xinlin's employees. As soon as the news was released from Xinlin, their friends called to show off, allowing them to quickly understand the inside story.

Many of them have longer working experience than their friends at Xinlin, and of course their salaries are higher, so they feel that they should earn more than their friends at Xinlin.

Qifeng is the leader in the industry, and they are proud of working at Qifeng with higher salaries.

now.

Those friends who were not as good as them before actually surpassed them in income because of Xinlin's salary increase, which made them feel unbalanced.

Afterwards, they received another piece of news – Xinlin will recruit a large number of workers next year.

"I'm not better than them, am I? We all do the same thing, and I do it better. Why should I earn less than them?"

"Next year, I'll go to Xinlin too!"

"Qi Feng is the leader, but he keeps deducting our wages and fining us at every turn. We might as well go to Xinlin!"

They were filled with indignation.

……

"Mr. Zhuang."

Qi Feng's HR manager, Jiang Yunhai, knocked on the door and came in, saying to Zhuang Dasheng, "I received news that Xinlin Hat Industry is increasing salaries by 15%, and this year's year-end bonus has doubled."

Zhuang Dasheng was suddenly startled and keenly realized the seriousness of the matter: "Is the news true?"

If one factory in the same industry raises wages, it will certainly affect other factories in the same area, which is simply uncontrollable.

As the hat leader in Linjiang City, Qifeng’s employees’ salaries and benefits are much higher than those of other companies. This is also the key reason why they can attract outstanding talents.

Qifeng has more than ten times as many employees as Xinlin. If they follow Xinlin in raising salaries, their costs will skyrocket.

If we don't follow the salary increase, some people will definitely become dissatisfied.

"That should be correct." Jiang Yunhai's eyes flickered as he said, "Not only the ordinary employees, but also all the management will get a 15% salary increase."

After these words were spoken, Zhuang Dasheng became even more restless, his face as gloomy as water.

He understood the deep meaning of Jiang Yunhai's words.

Even Jiang Yunhai himself might be tempted when he heard that Xinlin offered a 15% salary increase and would continue recruiting next year.

Xinlin’s factory is small and can only accommodate a limited number of new employees, so the sooner you go there the better.

It’s too late, Xinlin’s staff may be full.

This is true for ordinary employees and management. As long as Xinlin offers high salaries for recruitment, outstanding personnel in the same industry will be eager to apply.

"okay, I get it."

Zhuang Dasheng waved his hand to signal him to leave, and took out Wei Lin's business card from the corner of his desk.

He had Wei Lin's business card, but he had never contacted Wei Lin, and the two had little contact.

In his eyes, even Wei Lin’s father, Wei Zhenbang, was nothing, let alone Wei Lin, who was of the younger generation?

"Wei Lin."
