Chapter 30 Recruitment in Progress
About an hour later, Fang Bai heard the sound of the door on the first floor opening. It seemed that his father was back.
After a while, I saw my father walking upstairs, with some sweat on his forehead, but a look of joy on his face:
"Son, the post is finished."
"Dad, thank you for your hard work. How do you feel?"
"It's not hard, I'm just worried about whether you can sell these TVs."
"We'll know in two days. Besides, we'll get our money back after selling a dozen TVs, so don't worry."
"Okay, you can continue reading. I will go to the first floor to look at the store. If someone comes for an interview, I will call you." Fang Shi went downstairs after finishing speaking. Now his son is reviewing and making money. It is not easy.
With such a big business, Fang Shi really doesn't know how to do it without his son.
Just two hours later, someone came to the store for an interview. He took a look at the TVs in the room and was a little surprised: so many TVs!
But it's also a little strange. Isn't it a company?
Why is there just one store?
But I came here and was short of money, so I had to bite the bullet and asked the dark-skinned middle-aged man who was arranging the TV in the house: "Uncle, hello, I want to interview for the job of repairing the TV. Is the interviewer here?" "
"Oh, yes, yes, wait a moment, I'll call someone."
Fang Shi raised his head and saw a young man asking. He replied politely, then trotted to the stairs, raised his head and shouted upstairs, "Son, there is someone interviewing."
The person upstairs replied calmly, "Oh, okay."
Hearing this, the young man who came for the interview became even more curious: Is the interviewer the son of this middle-aged man?
Is this a family-run factory?
After a while, steady and firm footsteps came from the stairs, and a very young man came down slowly.
As he expected, the interviewer was young.
But unexpectedly, he is a bit too young!
Maybe you should leave society early, it’s normal in the area.
Jingtian was stunned for a moment. Seeing the other party's smile and deep eyes, he asked first:
"Hello, are you a student at the University of Winchester? I'm in charge of the interview."
The other party's speech was neither fast nor slow, and he appeared more calm than his university teacher.
Jingtian suddenly felt nervous, stood up straight and straightened his chest, and quickly recited the ventriloquism he had memorized early:
"Hello, interviewer, my name is Jingtian, and I am a junior at the University of Wenzhou. I saw a recruitment poster posted in our school, so I came over to take a look. Do you have any specific requirements?"
When Fang Bai saw the somewhat reserved answer, he smiled, knowing that it was normal for the other party to be nervous, and said, "My surname is Fang, you can just call me Mr. Fang.
The requirements are relatively simple. You need to disassemble the TV and perform repairs at my request. It is best to have some knowledge about electricians. You are required to be able to operate and not be afraid of hardships.
A normal working day is eight hours, or you have to repair and clean five designated TVs. For example, if you work for half a day in the morning and you can go back to class in the afternoon, then I will pay you half a day's salary, but lunch is not included if you work for half a day.
You can arrange your own working hours, as long as you complete the tasks assigned by me.
If you are a student, you should come at least three days a week and your salary will be paid on the same day. If there is no problem, I need to watch you operate it. "
"OK."
Jingtian agreed without much hesitation. One day on the weekend and two more days would be enough for three days.
He didn't expect that the request wasn't much.
"Well, put on your gloves and open the back cover of this 17-inch black and white TV first." Fang Bai gave him the gloves and tools and started the task directly to see if he could operate flexibly.
Fang Shi stood aside and observed, watching how his son interviewed others.
Fang Bai didn't require people to know everything. He was still reminded of safe operations such as static electricity. As long as he could complete the task under his own guidance, he would be considered qualified.
Nowadays, not many students have the opportunity to assemble and repair TVs, so he doesn't expect them to be able to get started immediately. It just depends on how fast they learn.
If he's clumsy and can't teach it, wouldn't it be a waste of his time? What's the point of doing it?
After he has learned it, the veteran will guide the novice.
To Fang Bai's surprise, the student named Jingtian in front of him was very flexible. He quickly removed the back cover of the TV and began to eliminate static electricity.
"Sedum, have you repaired a TV before?"
"Mr. Fang, I have a black and white TV at home that happened to be broken. During the vacation, I took it apart and studied it. I happen to be an electronics major, so I have some understanding of it."
"Oh, that's it. You replaced the capacitor and resistor, and dismantled all these parts." Fang Bai took a red marker and put a cross on the damaged parts to indicate removal and replacement.
He made a table himself, with different symbols representing different meanings.
Next, Jingtian carried out repairs according to Fang Bai's instructions.
More than an hour later, Jingtian repaired the TV and cleaned the dust and dirt on the TV according to Fang Bai's requirements. It looked 90% new.
Most second-hand TVs are not damaged during use, mainly due to scratches during transportation.
Customers have relatively high requirements for appearance. As long as they can be used, they don't care about the inside. When choosing TVs, Fang Bai chose some cases that looked relatively new.
"Yes, it's pretty good. If you have time, you can start working from today. The salary will be calculated from today. Let's have lunch together." Fang Bai didn't do any complicated procedures. He was in a hurry now and would hire him if he felt qualified.
This made Jingtian feel that happiness came too quickly, and he said with a face of joy: "Mr. Fang, it's okay. I happen to be free today, so I can work now."
"Okay, let me explain to you first. You first dismantle the five TVs. I will mark them for you first, and then you can repair them according to the marks. This will be more efficient. After the repairs are completed, clean the TVs and put them on the other side. Come to the open space, don't come with the unmaintained mess.
Some are pieced together to form a TV. Pay attention to the markings and ask questions if you don’t understand. "
Fang Bai explained that he has nearly 400 TVs in his batch, and one repairman can repair and clean about 4-6 TVs in a day.
This store can accommodate up to 7 people working. No matter how many people there are, it will become crowded.
In other words, it would take 10-13 days to repair and clean these TVs, and Fang Bai’s salary was less than 1,000 yuan.
After 20 units were repaired, Fang Bai started organizing sales.
Sales work also requires personnel, so he asked his father to be responsible for keeping accounts and collecting money.
Therefore, Fang Bai estimates that he will need 7 maintenance personnel, 2 handymen, and 2 sales personnel.
Considering that students cannot work full-time, the number of maintenance personnel has to be doubled, to 15, which is almost enough.
Handymen should be strong, and salespeople should preferably be girls who can speak well.
When it was almost noon, Jingtian took apart the back covers of five TVs and repaired and cleaned the second TV.
We had lunch at a nearby small restaurant. Fang Bai ordered three meat dishes, one vegetarian dish and one soup, which made his father's meat hurt to death.
Jingtian didn't expect the food to be so good. This morning, he finally understood the situation of this store. The main speaker was Fang Bai, and his father was the assistant.
What made him even more unexpected was that Fang Bai was still repeating his studies.
It surprised him that high school students could make money while repeating their studies. He had never heard of it anyway.
Not to mention high school students, very few college students start businesses.
What shocked him even more was that Fang Baidu knew which parts of the TV had problems, but he didn't have time to repair them while reading, so he hired someone.
A high school student has mastered very professional knowledge about electricians and circuit boards, which is so genius.
Jingtian guessed that Fang Bai was very smart, so he probably didn't perform well in his repeated studies and wanted to get into a top university.
In short, Sedum admires Fang Bai very much.
After the two parties got in touch in the morning, he felt that Fang Bai was easy to talk to and made demands, but he was not strict in his management.
Of course, Sedum also has concerns.
If he doesn't get paid after get off work in the afternoon, he will definitely not come back the next day, no matter what gifted student he is.
In the afternoon, people kept coming for interviews, all of them students.
As it approached six o'clock in the afternoon, the total number of people interviewed today reached forty, and the number of visitors exceeded one hundred. Many students came in groups and were accompanied by people who joined in the fun.
Fang Bai interviewed one by one and hired 18 more part-time workers, including two local girls who came to join in the fun and were hired as sales staff.
It is best for the sales staff to be local people. Foreign students cannot understand the Ou dialect spoken by the local people.
The Ou dialect is very regional, and no one outside the boundaries of Wencheng can understand it.
As a result, some people compare Ou dialect to "bird language", while others call Wencheng dialect a "plague language" and is known as one of the most difficult dialects in the country.
Having said that, Fang Bai didn't expect the recruitment to go so smoothly, so he asked his father to tear down the posters, and asked the students to go back and tear up the school posters.
It's past six o'clock, long past the off-duty time.
Fang Bai summoned the staff, stood in front of two rows of students and said: "Today's interview delayed some time, normal working hours will not be so long.
On that day, I arrived late in the morning and left later in the afternoon. It depends on your own arrangements.
Jingtian came in the morning and completed the task, and his salary was 10 yuan;
Chen Youbiao started working at two o'clock in the afternoon. Although he did not complete the task, I gave him five yuan as a salary and made up for the workload later on. There was no deduction of wages for me.
You tell me the time you can come to work, and I will arrange your working time.
The space in the store is limited, and no more than seven people can fit in, so everyone has to stagger their working hours.
If you don’t want to work anymore, tell me one day in advance so that I can recruit people easily. Do you understand? "
"I understand, Mr. Fang." More than a dozen students replied in unison.
Fang Bai took out a ten-yuan note and a five-yuan note and paid off today's salary.
When everyone saw that Mr. Fang distributed money on the same day, they no longer worried about not getting paid for their work.
Jingtian and Chen Youbiao were very happy after getting the money, laughing and joking.
Next, everyone reported the time they could come in the past week. After reporting, Fang Bai planned and quickly arranged their working hours.
Fang Bai has hired a total of 19 people, of which only two are girls, who are part-time salespeople.
Seeing that everyone had arranged their work, the two girls couldn't help but ask Fang Bai:
"Mr. Fang, when will we start selling?"
"You two come over the morning after tomorrow, it happens to be Saturday, and memorize your sales lines as soon as possible to avoid poor performance on the spot.
You are responsible for communicating with customers, and the boys do the chores of moving TVs and viewing venues. "
Fang Bai gives commissions to sales staff. The basic salary is 5 yuan, plus 7 yuan for completing tasks. If the tasks are exceeded, there will be rewards.
As for the maintenance workers, Fang Bai wanted to observe which one had stronger organizational skills, so he singled him out as the team leader and helped him share some work with a little extra salary.
If there are people in this group of people with great potential for training, he will take them under his wing.
As a reminder: the country started implementing the weekend holiday system in 1995. Before that, there was a six-day work system, with only Sundays off.
Some plots may have been wrong for two days when it came to the weekend, and I would revise them when I found out.
