Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 108 Kindness cannot lead an army, and righteousness cannot make money!
Huang Fei thought for a moment, then took out a business card and handed it to Li Xiang, saying, "Don't bother with those middlemen anymore. This is my driver's phone number. He's in charge of the sorting office at the Yantai dock. You can buy directly from him. I'll give you a Celeron 1 for 450 yuan per set. You can negotiate with him separately for the rest of the machines. The price will definitely be much cheaper than if you bought them yourself."

"Thank you, Brother Huang." Li Xiang took the business card respectfully as if it were a treasure.

"Okay, I won't disturb you at work anymore. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future." Huang Fei smiled freely and drove away from the food factory.

Li Xiang took the business card and said to Cheng Yi, "Brother, you are amazing. We have got the first-hand source of goods now."

Cheng Yi said: "Although we have obtained the first-hand source of goods, the corresponding procedures have also increased a lot."

"Yeah." Li Xiang nodded.

He had previously asked his childhood friend to purchase the goods. Although the price was a bit higher, the other party delivered the goods directly to his door, and it was also convenient to return or exchange unusable parts.

Although the price is now 150 yuan cheaper, they still have to go to Yantai City to transport the goods themselves.

A truck can carry up to 300 computers. Yantai City is more than 600 kilometers away from the provincial capital, so a trip must be made every day. And those unusable parts must be sorted out and returned one by one. These processes are very cumbersome.

"You are still responsible for communicating with the dock, picking goods and transporting them. As for the assembly, you can find a few people with good skills to be responsible for controlling the quality and training the apprentices. I will take care of the rest." Cheng Yi said.

"Okay." Li Xiang said quickly, "I have a few friends who are good at assembly. They helped me with the work last time. I asked them to come over, but they want about 1000 yuan for the salary."

"Starting tomorrow, in addition to your dividends, you will receive a monthly salary of 3000 yuan. The assembly workers will be paid 1500 yuan each month."

"Okay." Li Xiang responded quickly.

3000 yuan may be a lot for others, but it is not much for Li Xiang. After all, he earned more than yuan from Cheng Yi.

"Let's go back first. Call them over tomorrow morning and I'll take a look first." After Cheng Yi said that, he rode his bicycle away from the food factory.

After returning to the Internet cafe, Cheng Yi first checked the number of registrations on Toutiao.

In just one day, the number of registrations soared to 75621. Although this number is less than a fraction of Jingzhou City's population of more than 400 million, it has already crossed the threshold for advertising monetization.

After resting for a while, Cheng Yi opened PS and made two banner ads, which he quickly posted on the second and third banner positions of Toutiao.

One of them is a banner advertisement for Momo Internet Cafe recruiting female network administrators. The requirements are 18-21 years old, delicate features, good figure, and graceful demeanor. The monthly salary is 800 yuan, including food and accommodation, and no educational requirements.

One of them is a banner advertisement for Honor Computer recruiting workshop workers. The requirements are 18-21 years old, hard-working, non-local household registration is preferred, monthly salary is 600 yuan including food and accommodation, and no educational requirements.

As soon as these two advertisements came out, the forum exploded again in less than an hour.

The banner recruiting female network administrators is understandable. At most, it proves that Du Yusheng, the owner of Momo Internet Cafe, is a perverted fat otaku.

But the advertisement for recruiting workshop workers is somewhat targeted.

What does "hard work" followed by "priority for non-local residents" mean? What's the point? Are they saying that locals can't endure hardship?
A wave of disputes between outsiders and locals once again broke out on the forum, and Honor Computer instantly became the target of public criticism.

Cheng Yi was so tired and sleepy that he didn't bother to pay attention to the forum. He ate something casually and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Cheng Yi got up, washed up, and hurried downstairs to open the door. During the audition period, the Internet cafe closed on time at 10 o'clock every night.

When he reached the first floor, Cheng Yi heard a girl talking outside the door. He looked at the time. It was just past seven in the morning. It should be Zhang Lingyu and the others who had arrived.

Cheng Yi opened the rolling door without any preparation, and dozens of young girls who had been waiting for a long time surrounded him without any warning.

"Boss, I'm 18."

"Boss, I just turned 20."

"Boss, although I'm 23, my birthday is younger than mine, so I need to subtract two years from my age."

In an instant, Cheng Yi was surrounded by beautiful women.

At this time, Zhang Lingyu and the others finished their breakfast and walked towards the Internet cafe. Seeing Cheng Yi surrounded by a group of girls, Zhang Lingyu's eyes showed a hint of shock and she murmured, "What happened?"

"I'm testing you, the boss is surrounded by women." Du Yusheng said angrily, "I'll go and rescue him."

Du Yusheng rushed forward quickly and squeezed into the group of girls.

He pushed left and right until he was next to Cheng Yi, and asked with concern: "Boss, are you okay?"

"I was busy just now, but I'm fine now." Cheng Yi smiled and pointed at Du Yusheng and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Du from our internet cafe. He's the boss for the interview. I'm just a handyman."

Whoops!

All the girls turned around and surrounded Du Yusheng, who looked confused.

Cheng Yi left the crowd, took out his bicycle first, then pushed it in front of the stunned Zhang Lingyu and said, "We are all here for the interview. You should hurry up and help. I'm afraid Fatty can't handle it."

"Why are there so many people?" Zhang Lingyu murmured.

"I posted an ad on the forum yesterday," Cheng Yi said a little embarrassedly. "I didn't expect the ad to be so influential. My offer is a monthly salary of 800 yuan, including food and lodging. Just negotiate based on that."

"A monthly salary of 800 yuan including food and accommodation?" Zhang Lingyu was speechless.

No wonder so many people came for the interview early in the morning. With such a monthly salary, wouldn’t those girls working in the electronics factory be crazy?
After working hard on the assembly line of an electronics factory for a month, I only got 450 yuan, and that didn't even include food and accommodation.

"Remember, that's the price for a regular employee. You'll only be paid 400 yuan during the probation period, and you can be hired as a regular employee after one month of probation." Cheng Yi gave this instruction. He was about to say something else when his expression suddenly changed. He immediately got on his bicycle and rushed to the food factory.

This advertisement has driven generally introverted girls crazy, so wouldn’t the food factory be... ?
Cheng Yi drove all the way at lightning speed. When he arrived at the food factory, hundreds of people had gathered at the door.

"I was careless." Cheng Yi regretted placing the banner ad. He had overlooked a serious problem. In this era, you can't submit your resume internally! All applications must be made in person!

"Brother." Cheng Yi finally spotted Li Xiang's small figure in the crowd after getting closer. "Everyone who wants to be interviewed, line up!" Cheng Yi yelled, but it didn't help.

There's no way. These days you have to fight for everything, whether it's buying a ticket, riding a bus, or even eating in the cafeteria. How can you find a job?
Queue? What a mess! If I were the last one in line, the place would be full before my turn.

Cheng Yi threw his bicycle aside and climbed up the wall of the food factory. He stood on the wall and shouted, "I am the interviewer this time. Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

Hearing Cheng Yi's words, everyone looked up.

"We are recruiting 40 people this time. I will state the requirements first. Those who meet the requirements, please raise your hands." Cheng Yi shouted, "Those who are studying for technical secondary schools, please raise your hands so I can see."

Soon, more than a hundred people out of the two or three hundred raised their hands.

"Okay, except for those who raised their hands, everyone else please leave first."

"Fuck, isn't there any educational qualification limit?"

"That's right, it's so unfair. In fact, I was only a few points away from getting into technical secondary school."

"This crappy factory has no future. They only look at academic qualifications and not ability."

"Exactly. What's so great about being a technical secondary school student? If I hadn't been expelled in my third year, I would have at least gotten a technical secondary school degree."

"Let's go, let's go. Even dogs won't come to this kind of factory that only looks at academic qualifications." More than a hundred young people left while cursing.

Looking at the more than 21 people in front of him, Cheng Yi said again: "Those over years old, raise your hands."

No one raised their hands.

"Please raise your hands if you have experience in electronics factory assembly." Cheng Yi said again.

A dozen or so people raised their hands sparsely.

Cheng Yi made a gesture to Li Xiang, and Li Xiang immediately pulled the dozen people into the yard.

"Raise your hands if you can drive."

Three more people raised their hands and were immediately invited into the yard by Li Xiang.

"Raise your hand if you particularly like working overtime."

Wow!
Everyone raised their hands.

Cheng Yi interviewed for more than an hour and finally selected forty people.

Soon, several of Li Xiang's friends arrived. In order to facilitate teaching, Li Xiang got 1 sets of Celeron computer accessories from his childhood friend and began to teach these new employees how to assemble computers.

Cheng Yi chatted briefly with a few of Li Xiang's friends, then went to the POS machine store. He first placed an order for 500,000 membership cards, and also customized a batch of Honor computer trademarks and packaging boxes.

After finishing all these, Cheng Yi went to the nearest telecommunications company and opened accounts for network cables for seven other Internet cafes.

These past few years have truly been a golden age for entrepreneurship. For example, the assembly and sale of personal computers have not yet been included in the first batch of products to implement CCC certification. As long as you pay taxes reasonably, no department will care about you. However, these good days can only last until May 2003, 5.

After May 2003, 5, personal computers that have not obtained CCC certification may not be manufactured, sold, imported, or used in other business activities.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, when Cheng Yi returned to the food factory, the plaque at the entrance of the food factory had been changed to the Jingzhou Branch of Hong Kong Honor Computer Company.

The interior layout is also completely new.

Walking into the factory yard, Li Xiang and his wife were busy moving things. Seeing Cheng Yi coming back, Li Xiang's wife Li Cuicui immediately shouted, "Hello, Brother Cheng."

"Okay, okay." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Well done, it's a big change."

Li Xiang immediately said, "Brother, I want to go to Yantai City tomorrow to get some goods. Do you want to go with me?"

"I won't go. You just take full responsibility." Cheng Yi said, "I transferred 500,000 yuan to the company account, and the purchase will be directly made through the company account."

"it is good."

Cheng Yi asked, "Have you arranged accommodation for the employees?"

Li Xiang nodded. "Everything has been arranged. This factory has its own dormitory. Let them have instant noodles tonight. Tomorrow I'll go to a nearby village and find a cook. We'll set up a canteen first, which will save a lot of money."

"Saving money is one thing, but we must ensure that there is meat in every employee meal. Every person must have at least one egg in every meal."

"I understand. Xiao Cui and I are from the countryside, and we know it's not easy to work outside." Li Xiang and Xiao Cui's eyes changed when they looked at Cheng Yi.

It is their blessing to have a boss who treats employees well.

Cheng Yi glanced at Li Xiang, and felt that Li Xiang had misunderstood him, so he said: "This is only one aspect. The most important thing is that only when they are well fed and well-watered can they have the energy to work overtime."

"..." At this moment, the slight emotion in Li Xiang and Xiao Cui's hearts disappeared.

Those evil capitalists really deserve to die.

Cheng Yi said seriously, "Li Xiang, this computer company will basically need you to carry the load from now on. You must remember what I'm going to say next."

"Brother, you say." Li Xiang looked over seriously.

"It has always been said that kindness cannot lead an army, and righteousness cannot make money. Running a company is not like running a sales office. If you are too kind to your employees, you will not be a qualified manager."
