60s Splendid Life

The factory’s second recruitment date was set on the last day at the end of August. The interviewees must have at least graduated from junior high school, and a large number of people were selected in their village. It can be seen how low the penetration rate of junior high schools in rural areas is. There were not many people who met the conditions to sign up, only a few people, and Lu Bocheng was one of them, and there were several young people around his age from his village with him.

The number of educated youths who signed up was relatively large. Basically, everyone who received Zhang Kai's letter replied and signed up.

This is also because the educated youths from the cities have clearly seen the difficulties of rural life during the past two years of going to the countryside. Many educated youths who come to the countryside cannot even earn food and clothing with their own hands. The educated youths get a little more food, but they have to rely on their own hands to fight for more. A large part of the educated youths in the countryside can’t earn enough for their own rations. They can only rely on themselves.So this time the food factory in Lujia Village is recruiting people, which is a life-saving driftwood for them. They must seize this opportunity to reverse their current predicament.

There were 50 or [-] educated youths who signed up for interviews, and only six of them were admitted in the end. Almost six or seven people competed for a position.But Lujia Village was better. Out of the ten people who signed up, four were asked, but two of them were educated youths from their village, and only two were members of their village.

Lu Jin handed over the pre-interview work to Zhang Kai. After the ten people were selected, he, the factory manager, met the ten new employees. "Everyone, please find a seat." His The office is shabby, originally three people were already crowded in it, but today more than a dozen people squeezed in, and the stools were placed by the door, but luckily it can barely accommodate so many people.

Two people were interviewed in Lujiacun, one was Lu Bocheng and the other was Lu Quan, and the rest were educated youths from the city, and most of them were men, with only two female members.

Everyone found a seat and sat down. The educated youth sat together, and the two young people from Lujia Village sat together.

After everyone sat down, Lu Jin, the director of the factory, began to speak, "It's a pleasure to meet you here. I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm the director of Qingcheng Food Factory. My surname is Lu, and I'm one of them. Jin Zi. Manager Zhang of our factory is in charge of interviewing you today, I believe you can be selected by Manager Zhang because you are good enough."

Several educated youths from other villages exchanged surprised glances with the people next to them. Obviously, they didn't expect the director of this food factory to be so young, but the educated youths and commune members in Lujia Village all knew it.

Of course, no one dared to question their superior's ability at this time, let alone say any inappropriate words at this time.

"Next, I want to tell you about your job content and tasks. You should all know that you are interviewing for a sales position this time, which means that you are interviewing to help our factory sell products. You have to work in a Within one month, there must be at least one transaction list, and the transaction amount is not less than 100 yuan, so that you can change from a probationary employee to a full-time employee. Moreover, you will not have any salary or commission during this month, but you are on a business trip The fare can be reimbursed, and the factory will give you board and lodging subsidies. If you can become full-time employees after one month, you can enjoy a salary of 20 yuan a month, as well as commissions and various subsidies. I will have a detailed interview with you." Lu Jin looked at the new and old faces in front of him, and explained their work content and tasks to the ten new employees.

Some of them asked about their salary after the successful interview, and learned that they had no salary during the probationary period, only car fare and board and lodging subsidies, which was acceptable.But if you can't make business, you can't become a regular employee. This still makes these new employees who have interviewed feel a lot of pressure.

From the expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Jin could probably guess what they were thinking, "About this, do you have any questions?"

Everyone glanced at each other, and the voices of two representatives replied: "No more."

One of them raised his hand and asked, "I don't know what we're selling?"

"This is exactly what I'm going to talk to you about next." Lu Jin took out the ten prepared forms and handed them to the person closest to him, "Please help me to distribute them to everyone."

The man took the form, kept one for himself, and distributed the remaining nine to everyone.

"What you are holding is a price list of our products. It contains all the current products of our factory. The middle line is the wholesale price, and the last line is the market price. Of course, this market price can also be set by others, but you The selling price cannot be lower than our wholesale price." Lu Jin said.

"Does that mean we can sell it at a higher price than the one above?" Someone asked below.

"Theoretically, it is possible. If you can sell at a higher price than the above, it is your ability. In the future, your commission will be linked to your sales, which means that the higher the price you sell, the more money you will make. , the higher your commission will be. Of course, no matter how high the price is, it cannot be too much higher than the actual price of our products. It is best not to be higher than the market price we set. After all, we will continue to do business for a long time. "Lu Jin has not forgotten that we are still in a special period. If their products are sold too expensive, they will easily be positioned by the people above as deliberately setting high prices to make high profits, and they will take advantage of speculative capitalism. .

In fact, they have never been the ones who engage in capitalism. The prices of things sold in department stores in shopping malls are high, and no one has complained about them.This topic is a bit far away, they should continue to come back and talk about the things in front of them.

"There is still more than a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Our main product next month is to sell moon cakes, so your main task next month is to sell the moon cakes made by our factory. Of course, you must be able to sell other products. The products are naturally better." Lu Jin went through all the products on the form, and asked Zhang Kai to bring some of their products for these new employees to taste, "These are all products from our factory. You can try it to understand what products we have, what the taste and characteristics of these products are, and you can tell customers when you go to market in the future.”

Lu Jin showed two different packages to the new employees. The mooncakes in the ordinary package are just wrapped in a layer of red paper, and the gift box has a box. Of course, the mooncakes inside are also more exquisitely made, and the taste will also be different. More, "Our moon cakes are available in ordinary and gift boxes. It is more practical to buy the ordinary ones and eat them back. It is better to give them away in gift boxes. As for what kind of unit to sell, then It depends on your own abilities."

Someone at the bottom asked, "Does the factory manager have any requirements for where we are going?"

Lu Jin replied: "There is no limit to this. You can also go back to the cities you are familiar with and find companies you know to sell." This is one of the reasons why they hired educated youths as salesmen. These educated youths come from all over the country. These educated youths go back to the cities where they came from to sell their products, and there is a great possibility that their products will be sold all over the country.

As soon as they heard the hint from their factory manager, the educated youths down there became a little excited, meaning they could go home and sell things?

"Is there anything you don't understand? You can ask me now." Lu Jin asked.

"Factory Manager, since when did we start working?" Someone raised his hand and asked.

"You will go to work officially from tomorrow. The factory starts at eight o'clock in the morning. You are salesmen. Generally speaking, you don't need to come to the factory to work. The work is arranged by you. But tomorrow there will be a training class on sales. , I will be in charge of telling you... When you come tomorrow morning, write down the places you are going and the work schedule on a list and give it to me. Since it is the first time for you to run orders, I will arrange The car will take you to the station for a ride. Of course, you can also find it nearby. If you want to go out in the future, you can arrange it yourself. Just come back at the beginning of each month and report to me, and give me the one-month plan. If you can’t come back, you can give it to me. Write a letter, or make a phone call... Our factory has not installed a telephone yet, and there will be a chance in the future." Lu Jin just remembered that their factory does not have such a thing as a telephone, and he does not know what is required to install a telephone now.

...Well, they don’t even have electrical circuits in the countryside now, let alone such advanced things as installing telephones.

"Please remember that you only have one month. If you don't negotiate a deal for more than one month, you will lose this job. So, please cherish the opportunity now." Of course The salesperson not only has tasks during the internship period, but also has tasks every month after becoming a full-time employee. Lu Jin has not told them about this for the time being.

The people who were not very nervous at first became a little nervous after hearing their factory manager's repeated reminders. Looking at the educated youths around them, they were all in the same position as them. Why don't they seize this opportunity? , is likely to be brushed down.

After sending the educated youth away, Lu Jin only left Lu Bocheng and Lu Quan behind.

After the rest of the people left, he asked the two remaining people: "Do you know why I kept you here?"

"...Is it because we are too bad?" Lu Bocheng touched his nose, not all those who were detained by the teacher when they were young are not bad students.

...you guys are a little self-aware.
