November 20th, Saturday.
The container slowly drove away, heading towards the dock, and Tan Jincheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Just like leveling up by fighting monsters in a game, he was one step closer to leaving the newbie village.
After nearly a month of effort, the two orders were finally shipped successfully two days ahead of schedule.
The payment would arrive before closing on November 26th, with both orders processed this way.
As the container drove further and further away, Tan Jincheng turned and said to those behind him:
"Let's go, it's my treat today. We'll have a good meal to celebrate!"
It was the first shipment, and all four of them had come, witnessing history in a way.
"Wow, thank you, boss! I want to eat meat!"
Li Jinglan said happily.
"How vulgar! Why eat meat? Of course, you eat seafood when you've made money!"
Tan Jincheng chuckled.
"I'm not used to eating seafood. I just want meat. I've been so exhausted lately,"
Li Jinglan grumbled.
"Alright, alright, you can have whatever you want. There's plenty today, let's go."
When Li Jinglan said she was tired, she meant that recently, to rush the orders, the three of them, including Zhang Xupeng, had participated in packaging with temporary workers quite a bit, and their work intensity was considerably higher than that of the temporary workers.
Tan Jincheng himself participated much less often because he had other matters to handle.
Having worked together for almost a month, Tan Jincheng had gained some understanding of the sisters' personalities.
The elder sister, Li Yanning, had been in society for a few years and was much more stable in character.
Her work ability wasn't exceptionally strong, but she excelled in being very meticulous.
She could perfectly fill in details that Tan Jincheng might overlook.
The younger sister had only recently entered society and still carried a student-like innocence and charm.
As for her individual work ability, it's not that she had none, but rather it was almost a blank slate.
However, she excelled in quick learning; as long as she was told how to do something and the specific steps, she could pick it up quickly.
Most importantly, she was obedient and easy to persuade.
Paying her a thousand yuan a month allowed him to draw grand visions for her, something Tan Jincheng wouldn't even dare to imagine in later generations.
The group of four returned to the city, choosing a relatively high-end restaurant.
This season was perfect for eating hairtail.
As the number one seafood purchased by the common people of Yongcheng, the appeal of East China Sea hairtail was immense.
Hairtail from the East China Sea at this time of year was the plumpest, with thick, oily flesh and exceptionally good flavor.
Additionally, other seafood varieties like small yellow croaker were also excellent.
It was such a pity in Tan Jincheng's eyes that these two sisters weren't used to eating them.
Consequently, the division at the table was clear: the two sisters focused on meat dishes, while Tan Jincheng and Zhang Xupeng concentrated on devouring the seafood.
At the dinner table, the four chatted and laughed, without any sense of detachment between employees and boss.
Everyone was happy about the successful shipment.
When Tan Jincheng proposed an additional 500 yuan bonus for each of the sisters, besides their regular salary, the atmosphere at the table grew even livelier.
"Thank you, boss! You're really a good person, boss. You'll definitely make a fortune,"
Li Jinglan said with a happy smile.
"Thank you, boss. I wish both bosses a prosperous business,"
Li Yanning also chuckled softly, while raising her glass to politely toast Tan Jincheng and Zhang Xupeng.
Compared to her cousin, Li Yanning's income this month was good.
She had calculated it: basic salary plus commission, she could get over 5000 yuan this month.
Adding the 500 yuan promised by the boss, her monthly income reached 6000 yuan.
With only one merchandiser, there was no competitive pressure, and all commissions went to her.
Such a work environment was truly rare.
Furthermore, there was no need to worry about future income, as Boss Tan had already arranged orders for December of this year and January of next year.
For the next two months, the company would have an order shipped every month, so there was absolutely no need to worry about income.
Li Yanning had calculated that, including this month, there would be three months before the New Year.
Her net income for these three months would be at least 15,000 yuan, allowing her to have a prosperous New Year.
Although the company wasn't large, the competitive pressure was low, and the income wasn't low either.
Li Yanning was very satisfied with her current work situation.
It was a pity that she had told her cousin many times to learn merchandising from her, but she just wouldn't listen.
A few hundred yuan wasn't a huge amount, but for the two sisters who hadn't been working for long, it was enough to make them happy for a while.
"Xiao Li, there's another happy piece of news, do you want to hear it?"
Tan Jincheng said with a smile to Li Jinglan.
"Huh? More happy news? What could be happier than getting money?"
Li Jinglan asked, a bit surprised.
She was just about to toast the two bosses like her sister.
"You tell her, Old Zhang."
Tan Jincheng said, glancing at Zhang Xupeng.
"Damn it, I told you not to call me Old Zhang. Am I that old? That sounds terrible,"
Zhang Xupeng grumbled, busy eating.
"Boss Zhang, what is it?"
Li Jinglan didn't care if he was willing or not, and quickly pressed for an answer.
"Ahem, Xiao Tan and I have discussed it. The Taobao store will be handed over to you for management, including customer service and coordinating shipping and receiving."
"Huh? How is that good news? Besides, haven't I been doing all these things all along?"
"What's the rush? Listen to me. Starting next month, you'll still do the work, but for every piece of clothing sold, you'll get a 1 yuan commission."
"Huh? 1 yuan? That's not much money. We only sold about 100 pieces this month,"
Li Jinglan said, greatly disappointed.
Compared to the 500 yuan she just received, the psychological gap was quite significant.
However, over 100 yuan was still money, better than nothing, so she also smiled and said:
"Thank you, two bosses, over 100 yuan is also very good."
Tan Jincheng saw Li Jinglan's expression clearly but didn't expose her thoughts.
Alipay would be launched next month, and the convenience of online shopping would definitely improve significantly.
This month, without much oversight and knowing nothing, they could still sell over 100 pieces, so future sales would only increase.
Don't think that selling over 100 pieces is a small amount.
For a one-star store registered less than a month ago, without any traffic support, and in an era when online shopping was not accepted by most people.
To be able to sell over 100 pieces in less than a month was already quite impressive.
Indeed, the appeal of free shipping in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai still existed.
From the data, most buyers were drawn by this point.
A 1 yuan commission per item was solely to boost Li Jinglan's work enthusiasm.
When she realized that more and more clothes were being sold, and her commission was getting higher and higher, she would naturally invest energy into researching the Taobao store and increasing its sales.
"You two can go back. You don't need to work this afternoon; you have the day off."
After leaving the restaurant, Tan Jincheng said to the two sisters that he had something to discuss with Zhang Xupeng in the afternoon, and since the first batch of goods had been shipped, everyone could relax a bit.
