Chapter 11

The new girl is called Wang Yan. Like Gao Xue, she has just come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. She is in her early 20s and a little younger than Chen Ming.He has a quiet personality and looks like an honest person.

Chen Ming likes such employees, who are down-to-earth, obedient, not so twisted, and the most important thing is stability.Honest people like this, as long as you don't treat them badly, they can continue to work for a long time, and they won't change jobs every day, and Chen Ming won't be thinking about recruitment all the time.

The business of the waste station is getting better and better. Every day when it is open for business, the door is crowded with people. In order to maintain order, Chen Ming has to hire another security guard. It's like the Internet celebrity shop later.

Although the cost of personnel has increased, and the monthly salary alone is more than 1 yuan, Chen Ming is more satisfied with his current life. Now he can earn almost [-] yuan a month without doing anything. It can be said that he has completely Achieved financial freedom.

Chen Ming is really lazy now. Apart from going to the gym to exercise all day, the rest of the time is sitting on a recliner and watching dramas on a tablet. He even thought about buying an electric wheelchair, so that most of the time he can even You don't even have to walk the road
Fortunately, he was lazy, and his rationality was still there. After thinking about sitting in a wheelchair, the three employees would probably treat him as an idiot, so in the end he gave up this idea.

The three employees are all young people, so they usually get along very well, especially Chen Ming has no airs of the boss, and their courage has gradually grown. Ming suggested whether the working hours should be extended, so as to earn more. Now more and more people are unable to get in the queue every afternoon, and even ticket dealers have begun to appear, which is simply an anecdote in the waste industry.

Chen Ming has actually considered this aspect, but he is well aware of the principle that things should not be done completely. Although his business is booming now, it is actually quite troublesome to collect waste products. Just a snakeskin bag of soda cans will take a while. Therefore, the waste that can be collected in two hours a day is actually very limited, and it hardly has much impact on the waste industry in this city.

But it would be different if he extended his business hours, which would inevitably lead to jealousy among his colleagues. Who knows what dirty tricks they would use to deal with him, not because of fear, but mainly because of trouble.

All he wants to do in this life is to just hang around lazily, so it's better to avoid business wars and the like!
So of course Chen Ming did not agree to this request, but only said that he would consider it. This disappointed his three employees. He is still so easy to get along with, and never owes wages or anything. Naturally, he hopes that his scrap yard can be better and better.

Probably God saw that he was too lazy and wanted to find something for him to do, so when he was about to get off work that afternoon, Chen Ming received a call that gave him a headache.

On the phone, Lao Li hesitantly asked him to have dinner on the weekend, saying that it was a joint dinner at the waste station in this city. This kind of dinner is actually quite common in all walks of life. There are only a few people in the same industry in one place, and they always have to get together every year Sit down and get in touch with each other, so as to avoid vicious competition with each other.

But Lao Li's tone was a bit strange, Chen Ming realized that this meal might be a grand banquet!

It seems that although I haven't expanded my business scale, I still make some people greedy after all.
The venue for this dinner is a three-star hotel in this city. By the way, the title of collecting waste sounds a bit low, but in fact, the profit is not small at all. The serious waste station earns tens of millions a year. It's normal, just look at the people who came today. They all wear famous brands and drive hundreds of thousands of good cars. How can they tell that they are collecting waste?

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone first introduced each other. In fact, everyone present basically knew each other. The main reason was to let Chen Ming know everyone. After the introduction, the fat man with a greasy face sitting in the first place spoke first.

"I didn't expect Boss Chen to be so young, so I, Old Wang, won't beat around the bush. We have dinner today for two purposes. One is that it's the end of the year, and everyone wants to get in touch with each other. The other is that everyone wants to talk to you about your purchase price. .”

This fat man's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Shuangxi. He is the owner of one of the two largest scrap yards in Shanghai. He has his own baler. Many small scrap yards sell the recovered things to him, so he speaks with confidence. .

As soon as Chen Ming saw Lao Li's obedient look today, he knew that nothing good was going on, and now he was even more certain after listening to the other party's words.

He responded with a smile: "What advice does Boss Wang have?"

"I dare not give you advice. We are all working in the same industry. We should help each other. Logically speaking, it is your business to set a high recycling price. Whether you make money or lose money has nothing to do with us. , but if you do this, many retail investors would rather keep the scraps than sell them to us. Our business has been affected in the past few months. Today I am discussing with you on behalf of everyone, whether you can change yours. Is the purchase price consistent with everyone’s?”

Wang Shuangxi's attitude surprised Chen Ming a bit. He originally thought that since these people were united, they would definitely use a tougher attitude to persecute him, and they might even threaten to close the door or something. Unexpectedly, the other party's tone was quite polite.

He sighed softly, realizing that he was still thinking about things simply. He thought that he was only open for two hours a day, and those who did not rank up would definitely sell their waste to other waste yards, but he forgot to figure it out. Human nature, since you can sell at a high price, who wants to sell it at a low price?It must be better to take it home and save it than to wait for the number to be sold before selling it!
Since the other party had a good discussion with him, Chen Ming didn't want to find trouble for nothing. After all, his intention was not to compete with other scrap yards for business, so he politely apologized to the few people at the table and said, "Everyone, really I'm sorry, I've just entered this industry, so I don't know if I've caused trouble for you, so let me think of two options, which one do you think is better?"

A smile appeared on Wang Shuangxi's fat face, and he asked, "Tell me about it!"

Chen Ming thought for a while, and said: "In order to minimize the impact on everyone, either I will halve the business hours in the future and only open the door for one hour a day, or I will set a certain amount, such as 1 yuan a day. Stop, which of these two methods do you think is better?"

Chen Ming really wanted to solve this problem sincerely. For him, his current income was completely enough. He didn't want to conflict with these colleagues at all, so he took a step back and thought of these two solutions.

In his mind, no matter which of these two methods can reduce his turnover and reduce the impact on them, after all, waste products take up a lot of space, and those retail investors who collect waste products cannot always save their own money. Sell ​​it to yourself, even if they want to do it, there is not so much room to put it!
I thought my suggestion was sincere enough, but I didn't expect that Wang Shuangxi's face darkened as soon as he finished speaking.

"Boss Chen, we actually discussed two options, or you should choose one!"

Chen Ming asked in surprise, "Oh? Which two?"

"Either you lower the price to the same as ours, or sell your scrap yard to me, and I promise to give you a suitable price. The profit of scrap products is low, and the work is hard. Boss Chen, you can see that it is not bad. People who have money, don't grab food with us bitter people!"

Chen Ming didn't expect that the other party wanted to get acquainted with this industry. Although he was lazy, he was not without brains. He knew that even if he really lowered the price, he might not be able to survive in this industry. By then, these people would definitely Join forces to find trouble with yourself, and think of various ways to prevent those retail investors from selling waste products to you!
He tapped the table lightly with his right index finger, remained silent for a few seconds, and asked, "What if I choose neither of these two? Is there a third choice?"

"Yes! Of course!" The smile on Wang Shuangxi's face looked a little ferocious, "Then Lao Li will no longer be able to cooperate with you, and all our scrap stations will join forces to raise prices to see if you can do it alone. Beat all of us!"
