Star Tycoon

Chapter 85 Cooperation
Tian Ersan returned to the company and began to calculate various data using a calculator.

Wang Linlin and the others were unaware that Tian Ersan was calculating the harvest, taxes, and working hours; they assumed he was busy with company matters.

Zhang Shuya came over to report something.

"Boss, the cannery has started construction. The province has agreed to help us import a brand new canning production line from abroad, which is expected to be put into use next April."

"The sunflower seed warehouse has been cleared out, and local roasted nut merchants have been preparing to produce roasted sunflower seeds to supply us."

“The garment factory’s order volume has increased slightly in the past few days. A total of 510 garment workshops are supplying us with goods. We can receive 60,000 to 70,000 pieces of clothing every day. However, it is very troublesome to inspect them. Some people have very poor skills. When we send out the clothes, we often see unqualified products. When we tell them, they will deny it to the death.”

Tian Ersan was too lazy to deal with such trivial matters. "Don't bother with small workshops that don't follow the rules. Prioritize cooperating with stable people and gradually filter out workshops that have stable quality, are easy to talk to, and have high output."

"The same goes for Guazi. Don't sign long-term contracts. If someone doesn't follow the rules, replace them with someone who does."

"If no one follows the rules, we'll just make our own sunflower seeds."

Zhang Shuya nodded and said, "This year's canned yellow peaches are almost sold out. Several bosses said they plan to keep some stock for the Chinese New Year. This year, fruit farmers did not expect yellow peaches to sell so well, so they planted less."

Tian Ersan was well aware that the price of yellow peaches would definitely drop next year.

Sales may not be good next year, and with many fruit farmers planting yellow peaches again, prices will definitely drop.

But that's for next year; as long as we don't lack yellow peaches here, that's fine.

"We just need to hold on for a few more days to get through this. Canned yellow peaches have a long shelf life, and other people can hold onto them without worrying about not being able to sell them. We can't compete with them in this respect. If we really run out of stock, we won't sell anymore. Right now, we just need to focus on the clothing business."

"How are the preparations for those local specialties I mentioned coming along?"

Zhang Shuya replied, "Several places have sent samples, and they look fine, but the prices are generally high. Now everyone knows we can make money, so they all want to raise the prices."

Tian Ersan said directly, "Then let's ignore them. We can just buy some cheap and good-quality general merchandise at the market outside, such as eight-treasure porridge and drinks."

"I'll contact several manufacturers of black tea, green tea, or even cola, eight-treasure porridge, and instant noodles in various regions. For each additional order, I'll only earn 50 cents! They'll handle the shipping."

"Contact those manufacturers to come to a meeting at 8:00 AM on August 8th. I sincerely invite everyone to cooperate and make money together."

If others refuse to be supported and insist on bargaining, then Tian Ersan will definitely do things on his own.

Tian Ersan has no shortage of suppliers; if one doesn't work, he'll just look for another. There's always one that's profitable.

The track is the track with low prices and discounts.

Zhang Shuya listened attentively to Tian Ersan's words, feeling that her boss was particularly handsome and masculine today, and that his actions were beyond question.

"Yes! Boss!"

Tian Ersan was getting a little frustrated with the farmland; no matter how he calculated it, it took a long time.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Has the shopping website contacted us?"

Zhang Shuya replied, "I contacted them."

Tian Ersan is well aware of the necessity of developing multiple platforms.

“I’ll handle this. I’ll hire a few more people to handle things in the meantime. Have the people in the customer service department who have nothing to do clean up the first, second, and third floors. We’ll have more professional people in charge of the work in the future.”

Zhang Shuya felt deeply guilty, knowing that she was not a professional and could not be of much help.

Tian Ersan continued, "I have to work overtime tonight, you guys can sleep by yourselves, don't disturb me."

"Yes," all three women agreed.

Tian Ersan devoted all his energy to handling the matter, working from afternoon until evening.

I was still busy with various things in the evening, including recruiting people, and didn't go home to sleep.

Yesterday, the construction of the farmland took place around 3 or 4 pm. If it takes a whole day, it will definitely be 3 or 4 pm tomorrow.

Tian Ersan wanted to make the most of his time, so he planned to go in and take a look after four o'clock.

The next morning, when Zhang Shuya and the other two arrived at the office, they saw Tian Ersan eating while typing rapidly.

There was a half-filled pot of coffee on the table, indicating that someone had stayed up late again last night.

Wang Linlin walked over and looked at Tian Ersan with concern.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please go back and get some rest."

"I went back around 3 or 4 pm. I arranged for someone to come for an interview this morning, and the business matters are almost settled."

Tian Ersan picked up his hot coffee and took another sip. "You guys go have breakfast. I've already eaten."

Seeing this, the three went to eat, quickly finished their meal, and then returned to their work.

Around eight o'clock, Tian Ersan went outside.

Ten job seekers were already standing in the lobby.

These job seekers include people from the province, people from the city, and local job seekers.

It's not far away, and most of the people there are locals.

"Manager Tian!"

Four men and six women greeted Tian Ersan in unison.

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Are you all here for interviews?"

A young woman in a women's office uniform smiled and said, "Yes, my name is Bao Wanjun, and I graduated from Wuzhou University."

"No need for introductions, let me see all your resumes." Tian Ersan quickly reached out and collected all ten resumes.

After quickly glancing at it, Tian Ersan tossed the resume onto the counter in front of Xiong Huairou.

"Keep it safe and put it in my office." Tian Ersan instructed Xiong Huairou to do something, and then said to the job seekers, "I've checked them and they're all college students. Whether they're from the humanities or sciences, they all have basic knowledge."

"I pay college graduates 3,000 yuan a month here, with weekends off, working 8 am to 5 pm, but there will definitely be overtime, and overtime pay will be calculated accordingly. There is a three-month probation period, and after that, the salary will increase. I also pay social insurance and housing fund for regular employees, and provide meals and accommodation, allowing them to live off-campus."

"If you think it's acceptable, then continue the interview; if you're not satisfied, you can look elsewhere."

Soon, a young man stood up and said, "Three thousand is too low. I want to find a job that pays six to eight thousand." Tian Ersan asked, "What skills do you have? Do you know how to use a computer?"

The boy replied, "I am fluent in three foreign languages, graduated from Zhongzhou Foreign Languages ​​Institute, and received a national scholarship and numerous awards during my time at the university."

Tian Ersan nodded. "I don't need this kind of talent here. You can leave now."

The boy quickly left without taking his resume.

After the boy left, Tian Ersan continued to look at the others.

Bao Wanjun smiled and said, "I have no objection! Three thousand it is, anyway, it will go up in the future."

The others had no objections either. Although the salary of three thousand was a bit low, it included food and accommodation, and jobs with weekends off were extremely hard to find.

Tian Ersan walked upstairs. "Come with me."

Everyone followed Tian Ersan to the second floor, and soon Duan Tingting from the accounting office came out.

"Mr. Tian..."

Duan Tingting's sheep-like voice made all nine people take a second look at her.

"Follow me." Tian Ersan led ten people into a business office on the third floor.

Ten computer desks have already been placed here.

Tian Ersan sat near a desk and said to the others, "Stand near me. I'll teach you what to do. I don't care what you knew before. You'll have your chance to show yourselves later. Now watch how I do it and learn slowly."

"Don't worry about not being able to do the job. The work here is very simple, and I will teach you step by step."

"The first step is to contact partners. I'm not in sales, but I usually need to proactively seek out clients to cooperate with. They'll see how I do it, and if I can't handle it, they'll assign me to something else."

Bao Wanjun asked, "Do I need to drink with the clients? I don't know how to do that."

"No need," Tian Ersan replied directly and firmly, then pointed to the screen after the computer was turned on, "Watch this."

Tian Ersan quickly searched online for rankings of food groups.

The top ten eight-treasure porridge companies in the country.

Under the watchful eyes of Duan Tingting and Bao Wanjun, Tian Ersan randomly picked the top company and searched for its official website online.

Tian Ersan quickly dialed the customer service number.

"Hello, I am a salesperson from Chengbang Trading Company. Our company would like to cooperate with your group to sell eight-treasure porridge. Could you please contact your manager?"

There was a few seconds of pause on the other end of the phone before a quick reply: "Okay, please wait a moment."

Duan Tingting, Bao Wanjun, and the men and women in the vicinity all stared at him in astonishment.

A man's voice came from the other side shortly after.

"็ Hello Who are you?"

"I am a salesperson from Chengbang Trading Company. Our company would like to cooperate with your company to sell your company's eight-treasure porridge in the live broadcast room."

The man quickly said, "I'm sorry, I can't make that decision. I'll pass on the message to our manager, okay?"

Tian Ersan: "Okay, thank you."

The man said, "It's nothing, is this the phone number?"

"Yes," Tian Ersan said quickly, "I won't disturb your work any longer."

The man said, "Okay."

Tian Ersan quickly hung up the phone and then searched for the beverage company's contact number.

"Hello, I am a salesperson from Chengbang Trading Company. Our company would like to sell your company's products in our live streaming room. Could you please help me get in touch with your company's manager?"

"Oh! Okay! I'll ask for you, just wait a moment."

Tian Ersan quickly finalized another deal with the beverage company.

After making two phone calls, Tian Ersan looked at the group and asked, "Have you learned it?"

Bao Wanjun said awkwardly, "Is our job just making phone calls?"

Tian Ersan stood up. "Of course not. The people we contacted will come over in a few days to discuss more specific cooperation. As you can see, these are all well-known large enterprises in the country. At that time, vehicle reception, venue arrangements, cooperation materials, and business negotiations will all be the focus."

“If you go to a big company, it will take you a long time to learn these things, but I will teach you little by little. For now, you are responsible for making phone calls and contacting those fifty companies on the table. Each of you should be responsible for five, and I will take care of the other three.”

"You need to find out exactly who they are, what their positions are, and the online, supermarket, and wholesale prices of all the goods they bring."

"Then we need to find out the shipping location and their previous monthly sales figures."

One boy asked, "How do I get my hands on it? What if I can't find it online?"

Tian Ersan sighed, "Ask away! You can ask about the company's financial reports and stock price, as well as various online communities!"

"You guys try it yourselves first. If you don't know anything, just tidy up the room and clean. The cafeteria provides meals. You get off work at 5 pm. After get off work, find a place to sleep on your own. You get paid on the 15th of each month. Also, don't talk to those young girls casually, don't cause trouble, and don't knock on the office door randomly."

Bao Wanjun quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Tian!"

Tian Ersan quickly went downstairs to handle the matter.

Sales work is tough. These recent college graduates know nothing, and some of them quit without saying goodbye after only half a day on the job.

Fortunately, what was left behind could still be of some use, such as compiling shipping data, verifying business with the courier station, and counting and organizing the canned goods in the warehouse.

Tian Ersan was busy until 3:30, and when he felt he had done enough, he went back to his apartment building.

Tian Ersan placed a camera in his bedroom to check how long he had been missing.

After locking the door and resolving most of the issues, Tian Ersan drew the curtains and quickly entered another space.
