Without experiencing others' suffering, do not advise them to be good.
Tan Jincheng had no intention of being a meddler, nor did he want to take advantage of others' difficulties, as this was not a business matter.
In these times, views were not so open, and for clothes that were even slightly revealing, finding suitable candidates for 200 yuan a day was indeed difficult.
It was normal to want to increase the price a bit.
As for enticing someone to take photos in QQ lingerie when they were in need of money, that was somewhat despicable.
If it really didn't work, they could find a few graphic designers to Photoshop some pictures, or even download a few from popular Japanese websites to fool LSPs.
They probably wouldn't care too much.
As long as there's something to see, right? What else do you need?
"Thank you, Boss Tan. Qingqing was right, you're a good person and you'll agree to reasonable requests,"
Qin Siyu said happily.
"So you think adding a bit to tomorrow's shoot is reasonable then."
"Well, it should be reasonable, right? After all, it's a bit more revealing than today's. Don't you think so, Boss Tan?"
"Let's say you're right, but if you truly have concerns, you can bring them up. It's fine for college students to do part-time jobs for pocket money, but you must also remember your bottom line. Your future isn't worth these two or three hundred yuan."
Qin Siyu was startled, not expecting Tan Jincheng to say such words.
But after thinking about it, what he said made sense, so she said earnestly,
"I understand, thank you, Boss Tan."
"Alright, as you can see, I'm quite busy with work, and I won't have time to pick you up later. You'll coordinate the shooting schedule yourselves and then take a taxi over. I'll subsidize your travel expenses by 50 yuan a day. The same applies to Zhao Xianbo. No problem?"
In those days, there was no subway.
The 783 bus from Beicang to Yongcheng cost 5 yuan per trip, plus a transfer.
If they only took the bus, a round trip would be about 15 yuan.
A 50 yuan subsidy wasn't a huge amount of special care.
However, the subway would be a similar price, 7 yuan one way.
Besides being faster and more convenient, it wasn't much cheaper.
"No problem, I can do it. I believe Zhao Xianbo can too. We guarantee not to delay Boss Tan's affairs,"
Qin Siyu's eyes lit up as she said happily.
Not only could she, but it was absolutely fantastic!
This way, she could earn an extra 30-odd yuan a day, which was equivalent to a full day of handing out flyers.
If she could work four weekends a month, she could earn a minimum of 1,800 yuan and a maximum of 2,600 yuan, plus a meal.
This was much more comfortable than other part-time jobs.
Unfortunately, Boss Tan didn't have that many shooting tasks.
She really hoped Boss Tan would launch more new products.
Tan Jincheng found it both amusing and helpless; truly naive and foolish college students.
It seemed that college students of every era, if they did part-time jobs out of financial necessity, would encounter all sorts of traps, including some young people with lower education levels who had just entered society.
They received extremely meager incomes, doing work that didn't match their education or physical strength, and in some special circumstances, they might not even get paid.
After the conversation, Tan Jincheng waved to Gu Qingqing, who was standing by.
Gu Qingqing saw this and walked over.
Tan Jincheng then repeated what he had just told Qin Siyu and instructed them to also tell Zhao Xianbo later.
"So, will Zhao Xianbo get a raise?"
Gu Qingqing asked.
"What do you think?"
Tan Jincheng pursed his lips.
You're a grown man, just be happy that there's a female photographer taking your pictures.
You might not even get this chance when you get married.
Seeing Tan Jincheng's expression, Gu Qingqing stuck out her tongue, her expression very playful.
The contrast Tan Jincheng showed her today was too great.
In the morning, he was a big boss with a full aura.
By noon, he was an eloquent junior.
She didn't know what he was like in the afternoon when they weren't together.
But now, whether it was the raise or the travel subsidy, everything showed his meticulous side.
"He really is an interesting person."
It was already so late, so naturally, a dinner together was unavoidable.
Afterwards, Tan Jincheng sent the three of them back.
The subsequent contact was naturally handed over to Gu Qingqing.
On the one hand, she was their classmate, making communication easier.
On the other hand, the operation of these three stores would temporarily be handed over to her in the future.
As for Gu Qingqing not having agreed yet?
Well, she hadn't explicitly refused either.
In the eyes of a businessman, if there's no explicit refusal, there's still a chance.
"After you go back, look up information on Taobao operations. The summer vacation is several months long; this counts as official social practice, hehe."
"What kind of social practice is one Taobao shop? Besides, it doesn't match my major."
"Hehe, don't underestimate Taobao shops. The internet is a trend. Who knows, maybe in the future, Taobao shops could even go public. Just wait and see, it's a very promising industry."
"Is it that exaggerated? A Taobao shop going public, how big would it have to be?"
Gu Qingqing asked, somewhat surprised.
"Who knows? I'm just saying. But it is a very profitable industry. You'll know when you officially take over the operations. At that time, if you really want your parents to support you in opening a Taobao shop, this is also a way to convince them."
"Okay, I'll go back and look into it. I checked online this afternoon, and there isn't much information on this aspect yet."
"It's the early stage of the industry; everyone is still exploring. But operations are nothing more than attracting traffic, that is, how to attract customers to the store, which isn't much different from brick-and-mortar stores."
Whether it's an offline store or an online shop, the core remains the same: how to attract customers to consume.
As long as this core point is grasped, the rest depends on the operator's ability.
"Then I'll try it first."
Tan Jincheng nodded and said,
"Okay, then I'll head back first. If you plan to come during the summer vacation, let me know in advance, and I'll arrange accommodation for you."
"Okay, Boss Tan, goodbye. Drive carefully tonight."
——
Lin Yumin and Wu Zhenping returned the next day.
Before leaving, the two had basically confirmed their job intentions.
This trip back was just to pack their belongings.
Salespeople are constantly on business trips, so they seemed less resistant to working in other places.
However, the two wouldn't be coming over that quickly.
In their words, it would take at least about a week, and they would start no later than mid-June, as they had many family and work-related matters to handle.
Tan Jincheng could fully accept this, and it was also a good opportunity to rent them an apartment before they arrived.
Additionally, preparations for the staff dormitory needed to begin.
"Xiao Tan, whether Uncle can live a different life in his later years depends on how well our Shanchi sells,"
Lin Yumin said to Tan Jincheng with a smile before getting into the car.
"I believe it won't be long before Uncle Lin and Uncle Wu both won't regret the decision you made today,"
Tan Jincheng said confidently.
When dealing with these seasoned veterans from state-owned enterprises, you couldn't show any fear.
They had rich social experience and their own connections, which were their advantages, but they also had quite a few minor shortcomings.
For example, being overly pompous, or being too slick, and so on.
However, these were all easily resolved.
Currently, the two of them advanced and retreated together.
After they officially started, Tan Jincheng would divide them into two teams, assign the same number of people to each, and send them to different regions to develop the market, creating a competitive relationship to motivate their work enthusiasm.
Furthermore, Tan Jincheng would not completely hand over the sales network for them to build.
Offline sales channels were too important in those days.
Lei Bus, back then, took a different approach, focusing on online sales.
In fact, it was probably because offline channels had no advantage that he was forced to do so.
At that time, offline channels, such as large mobile phone stores and contract phones, were almost monopolized by the "Zhonghua Kulian" four major brands, in addition to several major foreign brands.
It was very difficult for Xiaomi to break through and rebuild its sales channels.
You have a brand new brand with such a low-profit margin.
You earn 100 yuan per unit, while other brands earn hundreds or even thousands per unit.
Would distributors be willing to sell yours or other brands?
However, the sales channels for e-scooters were completely restricted.
In an era where people were anxious about online purchases exceeding 500 yuan, mobile phones didn't sell much online, let alone products like e-scooters.
Sales channels needed strong leaders, but they must never be left entirely to others.
Otherwise, no matter how big the market became in the future, Tan Jincheng, as the boss, would have no say in front of the sales team.
It was not uncommon for top salespeople to constantly threaten the boss with resignation, give the finance department attitude, and casually submit non-compliant expense reports.
From an employee's perspective, if you are capable and can create revenue for the company, it's reasonable to enjoy corresponding influence and even certain privileges.
But from a boss's perspective, no boss likes employees who constantly challenge their authority, no matter how outstanding that employee's ability is.
The best approach is to learn from the experience of Zhang Yiming's short video platform in his previous life.
Other platforms almost all have a trend of dominant top streamers.
If a top streamer has an incident or leaves, it can even affect the company's overall valuation.
But his short video platform was different.
Top streamers were important, but also not so important.
The unique algorithm and traffic distribution methods allowed it to easily mitigate the impact of top streamers having incidents or leaving.
Building a sales team where everyone has the potential to become a top salesperson, and if one leaves, a new one will step up, this was Tan Jincheng's vision for Shanchi Auto's sales department in the future.
In summary, your departure will cause some loss to the company, but it will certainly not reach the point where the company cannot function without you.
If Shanchi Auto cannot function without someone, there is only one person: Tan Jincheng.
The founder must firmly control the company's autonomy, even if new partners emerge in the future.
This is actually quite difficult.
Many times, these things cannot be achieved just by having money.
But if he wants to achieve his dream, Tan Jincheng must do this, otherwise, it's impossible to even begin.
