8: Unacceptable reality
Liu Gaoda remembered that more than a month ago, Qian Ziyong had said he wasn't even getting paid for Working.
Good heavens!
He's the boss, of course he doesn't get a salary!
Liu Gaoda was completely stunned.
His friend, with whom he had spent day and night, had actually harbored ill intentions and hidden them so deeply!
Break up!
Absolutely, they needed to deepen their friendship!
In the boss's office, Liu Gaoda sat in a chair, drinking the tea Manager Zhu had brewed.
He couldn't quite understand it.
Qian Ziyong was the boss of this supermarket with a monthly turnover of hundreds of millions, so why would he work day-to-day with him, suffering together?
Was it to shock him thoroughly today, to give him a fright?
The cost would be too great!
He couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand!
"Gaoda, everything today was an accident." Qian Ziyong looked dazed, still not recovered from the heavy blow.
Liu Gaoda nodded and said, "Brother, are you going to say next, 'I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table, I'm a billionaire!'"
Qian Ziyong shook his head: "I didn't want to either, I had everything planned so well, how did it go wrong?"
"It shouldn't have!"
Qian Ziyong hadn't accepted reality yet.
He didn't want to, and he wasn't willing to accept reality.
Why was the supermarket's business so good?
Countless large trucks were coming in and out; even a vegetable market wasn't this busy!
And it looked like they were making a lot of money!
No, he had to fix this!
Qian Ziyong looked up, hopefully at Zhu Daqiang: "Manager Zhu, how much did we earn?"
Zhu Daqiang was incredibly excited; he pulled out a thick ledger from his arms and spread it on the table.
"Boss, since we started using your method, we've earned a total of forty million in the past two months!" Zhu Daqiang said with admiration.
Liu Gaoda shot up, exclaiming, "That much!"
"Twenty million a month, wouldn't that be two hundred and forty million a year?"
Qian Ziyong was dumbfounded.
It's already forty million?
Wasn't it said that money was hard to earn?
Qian Ziyong stood up in a hurry; he wanted to spend all forty million, to lose all of it!
But as soon as Qian Ziyong stood up, Liu Gaoda grabbed his leg.
"Dad! Dad!" Liu Gaoda held onto Qian Ziyong desperately, refusing to let go.
Qian Ziyong was in a hurry, constantly trying to walk away.
He had to spend the money, it was urgent!
"Gaoda, calm down! Calm down!" Qian Ziyong was burning with anxiety.
Liu Gaoda shook his head desperately: "I can't calm down! From today on, you, Qian Ziyong, are my father!"
Qian Ziyong shouted: "I don't have an unfilial son like you!"
He and Liu Gaoda were best friends, and sometimes they would joke around, making the other call them 'dad', for example, after treating someone to a meal in the dorm.
He hadn't expected Liu Gaoda to be so emotional now.
"Dad! I don't want to go to Shen City to work like an ox or a horse for someone; the cost of living there is high, the food isn't good, and the living conditions aren't comfortable..." Liu Gaoda was sobbing.
Qian Ziyong said helplessly: "You get up first."
Qian Ziyong understood that Liu Gaoda wasn't really clinging to him just because he found out he was rich, but rather that he couldn't accept how rich he was all at once.
Qian Ziyong himself couldn't accept it either!
Liu Gaoda stood up with a grin and said with a smile, "Brother, now that you're rich, aren't you going to treat me to a good meal?"
Qian Ziyong shook his head: "No!"
He really couldn't, because treating Liu Gaoda to a meal would mean using his own money.
They had already earned forty million, so a meal for Liu Gaoda would definitely be a big one, and the money he had on hand might not even be enough.
"So stingy!" Liu Gaoda said comically.
Qian Ziyong nodded affirmatively: "I really can't!"
"But I can arrange a job for you, um... Special consultant for the supermarket, with a salary of fifteen thousand a month!"
Liu Gaoda wanted to refuse because he didn't want to Work for a friend.
But with a salary of fifteen thousand, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
"Isn't that a bit much?" Liu Gaoda hesitated.
Qian Ziyong shook his head: "That's very good, I need your help."
"And this is only temporary; when the time is right, there will be a more important position for you, with a salary of at least one hundred thousand a month!"
Liu Gaoda's eyes lit up.
One hundred thousand!
At this moment, Liu Gaoda genuinely wished to recognize Qian Ziyong as his adoptive father!
Qian Ziyong said: "Brother, I need your help!"
"The task is extremely arduous, and I believe only you can complete it for me!"
The task was indeed arduous.
This was forty million; how difficult it would be to spend it reasonably, so it was naturally arduous.
Qian Ziyong had already resigned himself; it was certainly unrealistic to try and spend over forty million reasonably within seven days.
So he could only wait for the next cycle!
"I will definitely help you, brother, no matter what it takes!" Liu Gaoda's expression was solemn.
At this moment, countless flashes of knives and swords and the intrigues of the business world flashed through his mind.
He was already prepared to risk his life!
"Mm!" Qian Ziyong nodded heavily.
Returning to his office, Qian Ziyong slumped onto the bed, holding the "judgment letter" in his hand.
Opening the ledger, he wanted to see how he had actually made money!
The ledger was too complicated; it would take him a long time to read through it, and he didn't have that patience.
Qian Ziyong had an employee find Manager Zhu.
Soon, Zhu Daqiang rushed over.
"Manager Zhu, why is our supermarket making money?" Qian Ziyong asked.
Zhu Daqiang's eyes lit up; this was the boss testing him!
Zhu Daqiang poured tea for Qian Ziyong, his eyes full of admiration: "Boss, I only now realize that business can actually be done this way!"
"Boss, your business acumen surpasses ours a hundredfold!"
How did he do it?
Qian Ziyong really wanted to know how this supermarket was making money.
He had clearly arranged everything so well!
Zhu Daqiang continued: "The boss told me to drop the prices of the goods in the store to the absolute lowest, in order to build Feihuang Supermarket into the first comprehensive wholesale supermarket in all of Han City!"
"If it were a newly opened large supermarket, it might not have such good results. Boss, you meticulously selected and took over this supermarket, which was already somewhat famous in Han City, so it was able to become an instant hit after transitioning into a wholesale supermarket!"
Meticulously selected?
Qian Ziyong shook his head with a bitter smile.
He hadn't meticulously selected; he had just happened to stumble upon it while walking down the street.
If he had known this, he would never have taken over this supermarket in the first place.
Who knew this supermarket was so famous in Han City.
Well, yes, after all, the previous boss had operated it for a full eight years!
Qian Ziyong gave a thumbs up and continued to praise: "The boss telling me to hire three times the number of employees was an even more brilliant move."
"The boss must have anticipated that our supermarket would become popular, so he had me recruit a large number of employees in advance and train them, so that during busy times, the entire supermarket would run smoothly and provide customers with the best experience!"
"If it weren't for the boss's arrangements, even if our supermarket became popular, it would never have had such good results as it does now!"
"Boss, you're amazing!"
Zhu Daqiang looked at Qian Ziyong with sincere eyes, full of admiration.
The reverence in his heart was truly boundless!
