years ago.
Lin Zhichao personally gave double pay (two months' salary) to more than 100 employees of his two companies, which was regarded as a year-end bonus.
The employees who received the double pay were very moved and said they would work hard in the coming year. We need to know how many refugees in Hong Kong at this time cannot find jobs and can only go to welfare centers to receive relief food; and how many people are sleeping on the streets.
In Lin Zhichao's two companies, the minimum wage is HK$50, and the salary for skilled workers is HK$100. The management level is naturally higher. As for double pay at the end of the year, I'm afraid only the few good bosses in Hong Kong will give it to them.
Lin Zhichao is willing to pay more, naturally because his two companies are very profitable. The more he earns, the more he will pay.
"Brother Gao Fu, this is your bonus plus sales dividend, a total of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars." Lin Zhichao called Li Gaofu to his office and directly gave him a large bonus.
Of course, the reason for such a high offer was to commend Li Gaofu for helping Cheung Kong Industries to open up RB's zipper market.
Li Gaofu was very shocked and said quickly: "Boss, this is too high. You have given too much."
He has always been satisfied with his salary. His salary of HK$300 has doubled from more than a year ago.
The living conditions at home have also improved a lot. Although they are still more crowded, other aspects are much better.
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "This is your RB trip, and you should get a share of the sales. Several other sales have also been given some additional sales bonuses. That's how sales are. As long as you have the ability, you should earn more."
When Li Gaofu saw this, he picked up 3,000 Hong Kong dollars and quickly expressed his gratitude.
At this time, Lin Zhichao also discovered that Li Gaofu was a man who did big things. In addition to achieving good results in promoting zippers in RB, he also made great achievements in foreign trade procurement, which reduced the raw material prices of Yangtze River Industry a lot.
Thinking of this, he said: "Brother Gao Fu, are you interested in starting your own trading company in the future?"
Li Gaofu was shocked and said quickly: "No, I work well, why would you think that?"
Lin Zhichao knew that he had misunderstood him, so he said: "I mean, if you want to do some trading business by yourself in the future, I can support you. In the future, I may plan to buy a boat and enter the shipping field. But I am a shipping amateur, even if If you buy the boat, you probably can only rent it to others. I have seen you working in a trading company for so many years, so I know you more or less. So I was thinking, let’s cooperate. You set up a trading company and import tires from Hong Kong. , cement, gasoline and other materials, and then take them to Weihaiwei, Shandong Province for trade; then, they import mung beans, soybeans, peanuts and other agricultural products from Weihaiwei and trade them to RB."
"Weihaiwei is in Area G, and they are short of strategic supplies; after the war in RB, agricultural products are scarce and there is a surplus of strategic goods such as steel."
Li Gaofu was impressed by Lin Zhichao's plan and said sincerely: "Since the boss thinks this trade route is very profitable, I can continue to work for you and take care of this business for you."
He only had a few dollars, but he did such a big business there.
Lin Zhichao was determined to cultivate a trading company and make plans for the future.
Therefore, he said: "I bought the ship just to take it easy for the time being. If I rent the ship out, I can get the rent easily. As for the trade route I mentioned, it should indeed make money, but I don't want to bother yet."
"I'm very sincere, I'm not trying to test you. So if you want to do it, you can find someone you know to set up a trading company in partnership. As for the funds, I can lend you money. Of course, all of this needs to be considered. There is no trading port, so you need to do your homework."
Li Gaofu also became serious at this time. After thinking for a while, he said, "What about the Yangtze River Trading Company?" He was already quite excited. He didn't expect that this cousin would support him so much, and he was really touched.
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "You can take on the concurrent role first. Anyway, the work has been on track. Moreover, if you open up the trade between Weihaiwei, Hong Kong and RB, Yangtze Trading Company will also get a share of the pie."
When Li Gaofu heard this, he was still a little hesitant. After all, the risk was quite high. He was suddenly living a good life. What if... but a great opportunity was right in front of him again.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "I will look for a partner first. If someone really joins me, I will do this trade."
Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Okay! After you set up a company, just tell me and I can lend you any capital up to 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. As for the boat, I may not buy it until next year, but you can first Rent a boat.”
Don't look at the fact that he is currently training Li Gaofu, and he only paid 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
However, once Li Gaofu grows up, he can become a secret channel for Lin Zhichao in the future, and he can get multiple returns.
"Okay, thank you boss for your cultivation! From now on, I will understand this information and look for partners." Li Gaofu said sincerely.
He never felt that taking in Lin Zhichao was such a great kindness. After all, even if Lin Zhichao was living on the street at the time, it would not affect his rise.
But what Lin Zhichao is helping him now is his only chance. If it weren't for Lin Zhichao, he might have worked in a trading company all his life and been promoted to a supervisor when he was old enough.
There is a huge difference between the two. Of course, he also knows the risks of trade and shipping, so he will be carefully prepared.
.......
Li Gaofu returned to his residence and handed 3,000 to Chen Shufang. Immediately, screams came from the room, and Li's father and mother also gathered around him.
"Keep your voice down!" Li Gaofu warned.
Chen Shufang nodded quickly and asked immediately: "Is it so high?"
Li Gaofu immediately laughed at his wife and said, "Didn't you say that you are still worried about how little the boss gives me?" He once mentioned to his wife that because he was in sales at RB, the boss promised to give him year-end bonuses and shares.
Chen Shufang naturally asked what was going on. When Li Gaofu told RB about the zipper order, Chen Shufang immediately started to fantasize about it and worried about gains and losses. She was worried that Lin Zhichao would not give enough, and was even scolded by Li Gaofu.
At this time, seeing so much money, Chen Shufang could only smile and say: "Where is it! I know Zhichao will not treat you badly. For a loyal and capable subordinate like you, how could he get less of your bonus?" .”
"You are the only one who can say anything!" Li Gaofu said with some concern.
Seeing the family counting money happily, Li Gaofu was a little absent-minded.
Chen Shufang didn't see it, and said to herself: "You earned 5,400 yuan this year, and you can almost save 4,000 yuan. Unfortunately, it is still far from buying a floor. The minimum price of a building developed by Zhichao is 27,000 yuan." Yeah! But if you save for six or seven years, you can live on a higher floor. Think about it and you have hope!"
Li Ma quickly said: "Gao Fu works so hard, maybe he will get a salary increase, Zhichao won't miss it!"
Chen Shufang suddenly became elated and said, "Mom is right, wages will always rise slowly! Gao Fu, don't you think so?"
Li Gaofu said angrily: "Why increase? It's only 300 a month. Have you ever seen part-time workers' wages be so high?"
Chen Shufang's status in the past year has not increased because of the birth of her son. On the contrary, because Li Gaofu has made money, her status has declined.
She said in a low voice: "That's not necessarily the case. Zhichao's career is getting bigger and bigger, so naturally you will follow the chickens and dogs and ascend to heaven!"
"What kind of chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and they don't even know how to speak!" Li Gaofu said angrily. He was feeling a little irritable and his tone started to get louder.
The family also discovered this problem. Dad Li said: "How come you have given such a high bonus and your temper has become worse!"
Li Gaofu did not dare to talk back to his father, so he could only remain silent, and the family fell into silence.
After a long time, Li Gaofu said: "Zhichao said he would support my business and lend me 100,000 Hong Kong dollars and let me do my old business - trading. That is to import tires, gasoline and other materials from Hong Kong and sell them to Weihaiwei, Shandong Province; Then I import agricultural products from Weihaiwei and sell them to RB. I can’t make up my mind, so I’m very irritable.”
"What, one hundred thousand?" Chen Shufang's tone began to tremble. Then he said: "So many, just in case..." I didn't dare to say the next words.
After all, Father Li is getting better with age, so he said: "Since this business can be done, why doesn't Zhichao do it?"
Li Gaofu said: "He doesn't like it! Moreover, he intends to train me to be a boss. After he buys a boat, he will rent it to me for trading."
Dad Li thought for a while and then said: "Since he intends to train you, no matter how bad the situation can be, the worst case scenario is that you sell it to him and work for the rest of your life. He can't watch our family starve to death."
Li Gaofu woke up suddenly and looked at his father.
"Yes, you are right, Dad. I know what to do!"
I have already made up my mind. After all, his father reminded him that even if he lost 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, his cousin could not force him to a dead end. At best, he could work for his cousin in peace from now on.
In fact, Dad Li was right. Lin Zhichao lent Li Gaofu 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in the hope that he could succeed and get his principal back, and he also trained a business helper.
If Li Gaofu loses money due to unexpected circumstances, Lin Zhichao will at most deduct it from his salary slowly in the future, which will not deny Li Gaofu a way out.
