LIGHTNOVELONLINE c60 - Joining with Capital
It must be said that Gu Junwan had good reason to want to quickly root out the Fugui Gang tumor.
With both current heads of the Free Federation in the area for comfort visits, they still dared to openly recruit on the streets.
This alone showed how fearless they were locally.
Shen Han sauntered onto the town’s main street, meandering towards the Fugui Gang members.
She figured that since Ma Haoyu had been recruited with such a simple act earlier, she shouldn’t perform any worse than him.
When it came to deceiving people, she should be a notch above the little guy.
“Excuse me, friend, please wait a moment.”
Hearing a Fugui Gang member call out to her, Shen Han felt a surge of excitement, but outwardly maintained a curious and bewildered expression as she said, “Is something the matter?”
“It’s like this, our company is recruiting employees, with food and lodging provided! If your performance is outstanding, there’s also a considerable commission to be earned. Are you interested in giving it a try?”
Hearing such unprofessional sales tactics, Shen Han couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.
This level of skill was far behind the MLM recruiters on the Blue Star planet.
What normal person would be fooled by such obviously fake rhetoric?
Thinking this, Shen Han immediately put on a hesitant expression.
“What does your company do? Is the base salary high? How is the commission calculated?”
The recruitment group consisted of three members, led by an Alpha, with a Beta and an Omega on either side.
At this point, the Alpha member enthusiastically said, “Our company has a wide range of business operations. While the base salary isn’t high, the promotion speed is immediate. Unlike some companies where you can’t reach a team leader position even after several years.”
Shen Han nodded, asking with great interest, “So what are your company’s standards for promotion to team leader?”
Hearing this, the Alpha who had spoken earlier was momentarily stunned.
He was currently the acting leader of this group, hoping to recruit one more person to apply for official status. He hadn’t expected this person to immediately covet his team leader position!
The Alpha member didn’t speak, but the Omega standing a bit behind quickly answered, “If you can break through 10,000 in daily revenue, you can become a team leader.”
Shen Han turned her gaze to the speaker.
He was a man with a somewhat round, chubby face, looking clean and kind, except his gaze towards her flashed with an uncomfortable enthusiasm.
Shen Han shifted her gaze to the Beta member standing in the middle.
“So does your group have a leader yet?”
The Beta man first glanced at the Alpha member beside him, then shook his head, “We don’t have an official leader yet.”
‘Oh? It seems they’re not as united internally as I imagined.’
Thinking this, Shen Han directly pulled out a bulging wallet from her back pocket.
She took out 10,000 and stuffed it into the Alpha’s hand: “From now on, you have an official leader.”
After saying this, she took out two more 500 bills and handed them to the other two members.
“I hope you two will support my work in the future.”
While the Beta member was still dazed, the Omega happily accepted the money, even sweetly calling her “Leader.”
Shen Han quickly retracted her hand with a twitch of her eyelid, very naturally asking everyone, “Are you hungry? The leader has just taken office, let me treat you to a meal.”
“Wait a minute!”
The Alpha member, clutching the wad of cash, looked at Shen Han with a face alternating between red and white: “This is somewhat against the rules. Our business assessment is about the ability to raise funds externally. How can you use your own money?”
Shen Han thought for a moment, then very seriously began to educate the three on new knowledge: “This is called ‘joining with capital’. Your thinking is too rigid, how can you make money like this?”
After continuing to deceive them for a while, Shen Han led the three members to a small restaurant for a meal.
After the meal, all four were lost in thought.
Shen Han hadn’t been able to find out more internal information about the Fugui Gang organization.
Because these three members were too low-level, belonging to the bottom tier of the organization.
The Alpha member had mixed feelings.
He felt somewhat resentful, yet also felt this new leader was quite wealthy and generous. If he followed her, he thought he wouldn’t earn little.
The Beta member silently kicked the Omega beside him under the table.
Then he said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “What are you getting excited about? I brought you out to see the world and make money, not to be infatuated with Alphas.”
After speaking, he stole a glance at Shen Han who was talking to someone, then started muttering again.
“Ordinary looks, skin darker than mine, can’t hold liquor either, only being rich is somewhat impressive.”
The Omega touched the blue stubble on his chin somewhat bashfully.
He said softly, “I didn’t say I wouldn’t do the business properly. You’re a Beta, you don’t understand. That Alpha is so attractive, when she talked to me my legs went weak.”
Hearing this, the Beta man was immediately speechless.
He thought: She hasn’t even spoken to you alone, what are you talking about weak legs!
By the time they finished eating, it was almost dark.
Shen Han directly followed the three members back to their base.
The base was located in a newly built residential complex in the town.
The building was only 7 stories high, without an elevator.
The Fugui Gang members lived on the top floor, with a rooftop garden above that had a water bar, where everyone relaxed, entertained, and exchanged business experiences daily.
The atmosphere at tonight’s regular evening meeting was somewhat strange.
Because all 50-odd members at the base had heard about this: A small group went out to recruit and directly brought back a team leader.
And now, that Alpha team leader called “Shen Nuan” was even attempting to vie for the position of steward.
This was unheard of!
If she really became the steward, then all 50-plus people at this base would be under her management.
The original steward of the base was named Wang Wei.
He first had the new members’ ID cards confiscated, then while looking at the information queried on the computer screen, said mockingly, “So you’ve mixed in the city before, no wonder you’re so rich and ostentatious!”
“But I hope you can put yourself in the right position. To be promoted to steward, your theory of ‘joining with capital’ doesn’t hold water. The most important thing for a company is the ability to generate sustainable blood. What do you call this? Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?”
Shen Han retorted, “Is it not allowed to use your own money? I was originally planning to invest the 3 million my cousin left me in the company.”
Hearing this, the 50-odd members immediately began to murmur.
Wang Wei’s heart also trembled. He slapped the table and shouted, “Everyone be quiet! We are an organized and disciplined team, not a place for some rich second generation to play around.”
After speaking, he stared at Shen Han with a complex expression: “Investing in the company is certainly possible, but the list of stewards must be personally drafted by the vice president. Having only funds without ability won’t work either.”
Shen Han pondered to herself: You even have a vice president?
It seems there should also be a president overseeing everything above.
“Who says my business ability isn’t good? If I can raise a sum of money on the spot, what would you say then?”
Wang Wei chuckled, “If you can raise over 30,000 on the spot, I personally recommending you as steward wouldn’t be a problem.”
He wasn’t making rash promises, but he also didn’t want to let this fat fish go.
Rich second generations from small towns who aimed high like the one before him were exactly the kind of quality ATMs the Fugui Gang loved most.
Shen Han raised an eyebrow slightly, then turned and walked towards a corner of the rooftop garden.
Ma Haoyu, who was shrinking in the crowd, felt his heart skip a beat.
He thought: This wasn’t the plan we agreed on! How can she just improvise like this?
“Hey, you’re new here too, right? Do you want to be a team leader?”
Hearing his boss’s inquiry, the little guy immediately began to play along.
“I’d like to, but I don’t have 30,000 on me.”
As they exchanged questions and answers, Shen Han had already walked up to the little guy.
The Ma Haoyu before her had lightened eyebrows, a bunch of freckles dotting his cheeks, topped with a freshly cut watermelon-sister haircut, looking altogether very easy to bully.
Shen Han first nodded, then directly reached out and grabbed his collar: “It’s fine if you don’t have cash, an IOU will do.”
Ma Haoyu naturally wouldn’t agree immediately.
He tried to pry the hand from his collar while coughing, tears welling up in his eyes, looking extremely pitiful.
All the Fugui Gang members were shocked by this sudden scene.
Although many of them used some coercive and enticing methods when drumming up business, they didn’t go to such extremes!
At this point, Wang Wei said angrily, “An IOU won’t do! So many IOUs end up with not a penny collected in the end. Quickly let go of him, fighting isn’t allowed within the company.”
Shen Han naturally wouldn’t listen to him. She dragged Ma Haoyu by the collar towards the edge of the rooftop.
Amidst the exclamations of the Fugui Gang members, she asked, “Do you want to go over and look at the view from the building’s edge, or let me close this deal?”
Ma Haoyu cooperatively struggled a few times. When they were still three meters from the edge, he began shouting, “I have a bank book! It’s in my pocket, don’t push me.”
Shen Han paused, kindly pulling him back: “Why didn’t you take it out earlier? That would have settled everything.”
Looking at the bank book placed before his eyes, Wang Wei didn’t know what to say for a moment.
He wanted to rebuke her a couple of times, but was afraid she might pull the same stunt on him.
He was somewhat afraid of heights.
Just recalling that earlier scene made his calves tremble.
Just as everyone was standing on the rooftop at a loss, the Fugui Gang branch suddenly called, telling all stewards to immediately bring their top-performing team leaders to the usual place for a meeting.
Wang Wei originally wanted to hide this information.
But on second thought, that rich second generation was not only a troublemaker, but there were also many suspicious things about her.
Why not take this opportunity to bring her to the branch? Whether she had issues or not, she could be handed over to the vice president to deal with.
Having made up his mind, Wang Wei immediately began relaying the information from that call, and pointed out Shen Han and another team leader to accompany him.
15 minutes later.
Shen Han followed them onto a van.
As soon as she sat down, Wang Wei handed back two black hoods with a forced smile: “Put these on, and remember to fasten the neck buckle too. Don’t think too much, you two. This has always been our rule. When you really get promoted to steward someday, you’ll have the right to know the location of our branch.”
Shen Han raised her hand to pinch the earring on her left ear before reluctantly taking the hood.
She frowned and asked Wang Wei, “How many people have worn these things before? Do you wash them after each use?”
Wang Wei couldn’t be bothered to say more, urging the two to hurry up.
Only after seeing them securely fasten the neck buckles did he pat the driver’s shoulder and instruct in a low voice, “Drive!”
