Volume 6: The Great Change Chapter 0892 It Doesn’t Rain in Moscow
At the Luzhniki Market, Nan Yi met Bao Huantou and Gong Ziqiang.
The Luzhniki Market has the largest turnover among all Chinese buildings and markets, so it has received more attention. Bao Huantou spends most of his time here. Gong Ziqiang came here to visit, and he is also in charge of supervising the development of the second phase of the Ant Market.
It must be completed before the freezing weather makes construction impossible this year. As soon as the project here is completed, Nan Yi plans to send Gong Ziqiang to Ussuriysk. This man is no longer of much use, but he can still be used. Let him be a pioneer and be sent to wherever the work is hard.
Without saying much to the two of them, just saying hello and not asking them to accompany him, Nan Yi walked around the entire market by himself. There were so many people, shoulder to shoulder, that he had to wait for the person in front of him to move before taking each step. If the person in front of him stopped at the stall, the passage would become narrower and people would have to pass through sideways.
Every so often, there is a fully armed security guard. He is not one of our own, but a state-owned security company hired from the economic police that was formerly responsible for the armed guarding of large factories, mines and enterprises. He has signed a long-term contract with a total of 150 people, and it can basically be said that he is Duan Nanyi's rice bowl.
In addition to the salary they receive from the security company, they also receive an additional subsidy from the Luzhniki Market. They have a certain degree of loyalty and are quite serious about their work. In the nearly five months since the Luzhniki Market opened, no serious incidents have occurred, only a few cases of theft and molestation.
The market took harassment very seriously and did not let it go. It spent a lot of effort to find the perpetrators and punish them in order to win the favor of the victims. 70% of the customers at the market were women. If the trend of harassment started, the market's reputation would be ruined.
Not much attention has been paid to thefts, as they are difficult to catch and many of them are just teenagers. If you dig deeper, you will find that they come from a poor family, with parents without income and hungry brothers and sisters. Russians know their family situations and treat them with some tolerance.
After visiting several places, a whole day passed. At around seven in the afternoon, Nan Yi called Chen Feng downstairs of the office of the Moscow branch of Central China Trade.
After a while, Chen Feng got into Nanyi's car and said, "Drive quickly. I have to come back to work overtime after dinner."
"Why are you so busy? You can't even have a meal in peace." Nan Yi said disapprovingly.
"airplane."
After Chen Feng said this, Nan Yi was in awe. At this time, when it comes to airplanes, he can only think of the Su-27. It is not convenient to ask about this kind of thing, so Nan Yi directly diverted the topic.
"Jinru Trading will be sending a batch of goods soon. Do you want to get involved?"
"Jinru?" Chen Feng's mind turned, "Oh, isn't this your mother? The old lady running a restaurant is not enough, so she is now involved in foreign trade?"
"I took the lead in this. As a cadre's family member, I have the obligation to contribute to the national economy and to earn more foreign exchange for the country. Not only do I have to be aware of this, but I also..."
Chen Feng pushed Nan Yi and spat, "Your head is so small, don't wear such a tall hat, aren't you ashamed?"
"Hey, your head is big and mine is small."
The two of them kept arguing with each other all the way to the Moscow branch of Mingzhuyan located in the Central Racecourse. It had just opened not long ago and took a lot of time to decorate. It is the second most upscale Chinese restaurant in Moscow and also the top Chinese restaurant in terms of comprehensive strength in Moscow.
In terms of luxury, it is not as good as the Capital Hotel, but the service quality is incomparable. The Capital Hotel has no service experience at all. In terms of food, the two restaurants are on par with each other.
Nan Yi spent money to open the store, and the future profits have nothing to do with him. This is a gift from a son-in-law to his mother-in-law's family. The Liu family has not asked him for money for several years. The more so, the more he has to take the initiative to give.
There are regular horse racing events at the Central Racecourse, and there are several high-end casinos nearby. Mingzhuyan has established strategic partnerships with each casino. Not only does it give the casino a certain amount of spending quota every month, but it also gives the casino rebates to anyone who uses the casino's chips to make purchases. Mingzhuyan also undertakes the casino's free catering service for gamblers at cost price.
The South Building and the Pearl Banquet have clear division of labor. The South Building focuses on business reception and is part of the Huaguo Building's supporting facilities. The main potential customers of the Pearl Banquet are the Huaguo traders who like casinos.
Although the restaurant is located in Moscow, its main revenue cannot be counted on the Russians who suddenly come to try something new. It still has to rely on the money earned, the little bones left, the highs and lows, and the Chinese traders who spend money lavishly wherever they go.
Ordering a lot of dishes and calling all the girls is not a joke. In the nightclubs in Coconut City, Nan Yi has seen people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in one night. This amount of money is much more than the daily food expenses of all the workers in his families, big and small. He really doesn't know how to feel sorry for it.
Walking into Mingzhu Banquet, Nan Yi took a quick look and found that the occupancy rate was nearly 70%. The business was pretty good. You should know that the minimum per capita consumption at Mingzhu Banquet was over US$20, and the cheapest dish was US$18.8. They also introduced tax-inclusive bills and tipping rules, starting at 10% for lunch and 15% for dinner. If you only ordered the cheapest dish, the bill would be over US$20.
Although Mingzhu Banquet does not stipulate a minimum consumption, those who can come here to eat cannot afford to lose face and will not order only the cheapest dish. Since they have come in, they have to order at least two or three dishes. The general consumption starts from US$100.
There is a billboard at the entrance of Mingzhuyan, with the slogan clearly written in three languages: Chinese, English and Russian: Our restaurant offers a special dish, Dongpo pork, priced at only US$28.8 per serving.
The special dishes plus the prices clearly tell the passing guests that the food here is not cheap. In addition, the first page of the menu has instructions for collecting tips. When the waiters see unfamiliar guests, they will take the initiative to explain it again. Mingzhu Banquet’s high prices are made clear, and there is no such thing as deliberately overcharging customers.
Nan Yi called the lobby manager and whispered something, and then Nan Yi and the other person were led to a more secret private room. After they sat down, Nan Yi asked the lobby manager to call Peng Jingchuan over.
After a while, Peng Jingchuan, wearing a chef's uniform, came to the box. After a few pleasantries, Nan Yi asked, "Does the kitchen cook wild rice?"
"No, wild rice is rarely ordered, it's all made fresh."
"Then let's cook it now. Make four dishes and a soup. Pick the quick ones and bring the rice too."
"OK."
As soon as Peng Jingchuan left, Chen Feng asked, "What is wild rice?"
“Have you ever heard of eating five grains and thinking about six grains?”
Chen Feng shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."
Nan Yi waved his hand, "If you haven't heard of it, then you haven't heard of it. There is a saying that goes 'We all eat grains, so who is nobler than who?' In fact, in ancient times, there were not five grains, but six grains. The sixth grain was foxtail millet. The grains of this thing are very large, and the plants are not resistant to lodging after maturity, so the harvest is not good. In addition, it takes a long time to mature, so it is not regarded as a major food crop and few people have planted it.
But wild rice has high nutritional value. Ordinary people don’t eat it, but the emperor does. In the past, wild rice was a tribute to the palace, and not many people could eat it. People who eat six grains are more noble than those who eat five grains, so there is a saying that if you eat five grains, you will miss six grains. "
"Is it delicious?" Chen Feng asked.
"I haven't eaten it either. I just harvested the first crop."
Chen Feng: "I don't know if it tastes good, why do you grow it?"
"Because it has high nutritional value, is suitable for people who want to lose weight and people with diabetes, is difficult to grow and harvest, has low yields, is unpopular but has a noble historical status, these are the basic conditions for hype and driving up its value, and there won't be too many competitors, it can be considered an exclusive trade, so why wouldn't I grow it?"
Chen Feng was surprised and asked, "Except for you, there are few people who know how to plant?"
"That's not the case. You can find it in almost every village in the southern part of the country. You've probably eaten it, but you didn't know it was wild rice."
Chen Feng asked: "What?"
"Zaobai, its scientific name is Zizania latifolia, and its other names are Gaosun, Zizania suspensa, Jiaoercai, Jiaosun, and there are several more. I can't remember them all."
Chen Feng was unhappy when he heard it, "You are teasing me, what are you talking about? It's just wild rice, what are you talking about? Do you think you are educated? You have eight pens in your pocket, you are also a pen repairman."
Nan Yi sneered, "It's hard to say whether I am educated or not, but you are definitely not. Zizania latifolia is formed when Zizania latifolia is accidentally infected with black powder fungus. It is the rhizome of Zizania latifolia. In ancient times, there was a romantic and famous talent named Nan Yi in Nanjia Village. He had a lackey named Chen Feng. This Chen..."
"Fuck, just talk. If you step on me again, I'll get mad at you."
Nan Yi laughed happily and said, "Hahaha, anyway, the ancients found that wild rice tasted better than wild rice, so they observed it again and again. After repeated experiments, they finally mastered the method of infecting wild rice with smut fungus. Then, generation after generation, they selected wild rice species that were easily infected. Now it is not easy to find wild wild rice species that are highly resistant to smut fungus."
"I've always said that anything that has appeared in our country and has been eliminated has only two possibilities: it doesn't taste good or it doesn't have a high yield, so it's not cost-effective to grow it."
Nan Yi nodded: "Your summary is correct. It is indeed not cost-effective to grow it as food. That is why I treat it as a nutritional variety and spend hundreds of billions of US dollars to promote wild rice to the sky."
Chen Feng deliberately raised his head, looked at the crystal lamp and said, "Lao Nan, what do you think the shape of this crystal lamp above our heads looks like?"
Nan Yi said without even looking up: "It looks like a cow. I blew it up."
Chen Feng gave a thumbs up, "Lao Nan, you are so open-minded and your evaluation of yourself is very accurate."
"This meal is on you." Nan Yi glanced at Chen Feng.
"Bullshit, it's your father-in-law's shop, why should I pay? Let the shopkeeper come and recognize my face. From tomorrow on, I will eat here every day and put it on your account."
The quarrel started again until the dishes were served. Chen Feng immediately took the time to fill his stomach, wiped his mouth, and left, leaving Nan Yi here to pay the bill.
Nan Yi waited for the wild rice to be served, and after eating, he really paid the bill. The precedent of signing the bill should not be set, as it would easily cause financial chaos. Besides, it would not look good if the Liu family saw his signed bill on the account book.
The renovation costs of over one million US dollars have already been spent, so why would I sign a bill for over one hundred US dollars?
In the next two days, Nan Yi and Han Zhenhe handed over their work, but they did not do it individually. All the relevant people came to the consulate one by one, and while the handover was going on, Nan Yi learned about the situation of each business.
After two days, Han Zhenhe flew away without stopping, seizing the time to be his frequent flyer.
After Han Zhenhe left, Nan Yi did not rush to maintain his connections in Moscow, but instead retrieved a large amount of information and began to study Russia's current economic situation.
After reading the information for three and a half days, Nan Yi feels that Russia's economy is in a mess. The GDP and national income have dropped sharply compared to last year. It is expected that by the end of the year, very ugly data will be compiled.
Industrial production declined, capital construction investment declined, residential area delivered for use declined, transportation declined, and retail commodity turnover declined; production in all sectors of industry declined sharply, including oil production, steel production in the metallurgical industry, metal cutting machine tools in the machinery manufacturing industry, chemical and petrochemical industries, and consumer goods production.
Grain production is expected to increase significantly compared to last year, which is not good news for Nan Yi. However, due to inflation, farmers are not willing to sell grain. Compared with the increase in prices, grain prices are sluggish. Nan Yi speculates that Russian farmers will not be too enthusiastic about sowing winter crops this year, and there is a high probability that grain production will decrease next year.
In addition, the number of livestock raised in Russia has been decreasing in recent years, and it won't be long before eating meat will become a problem. Or it may not be a problem, as the proportion of the Russian population that can maintain a normal meat intake is not too high.
According to the two presidential decrees issued in December last year to implement land privatization reform, "Urgent Measures for Implementing Land Reform in the Russian Federation" and "Methods for Reorganizing Collective Farms and State Farms", as well as the policy implementation in the first half of this year, the progress of agricultural land privatization has not been ideal.
The results of the reorganization were far from what the Kremlin had wished. Private farms did not appear in large numbers, and most state farms and collective farms chose organizational forms of joint ownership and operation such as partnerships and joint stock holdings. Some even retained their original organizational names and operating forms.
The re-registration of many state farms and collective farms was largely just a change of name. These farms basically retained all their employees or members, and there were no substantial changes in their operations and management.
According to relevant laws and regulations, state farms and collective farms must distribute land and other properties to individual members in the form of shares. After individuals pay a small land tax, they will obtain a certificate of land ownership from the relevant government agencies.
Judging from the current situation, farmers’ response is not very positive, probably because of the high grain prices that make them lack confidence.
In terms of fiscal deficit, the fiscal deficit of the Soviet revisionists in 1991 was 200-240 billion rubles, equivalent to 12-14% of the gross national product. After the disintegration of the Soviet revisionists, Russia proposed in its reform plan that this year the national budget deficit should be reduced to 1-2% of the gross national product, that is, to achieve a "no-deficit budget."
As a result, the budget deficit in the first half of the year was 7.5% of GDP, and by this month the deficit had increased to 800 billion rubles, which Gaidar revealed was equivalent to 15% of GDP.
Most of the working capital of Russian enterprises comes from bank loans. The tight credit policy has caused serious capital shortages in enterprises, forming a huge triangular debt. The overdue debts between enterprises and the amount of budget payments owed were 39 billion rubles at the beginning of this year, which increased to 780 billion rubles by the end of March and 3.1 trillion rubles by the end of June. Russia is currently clearing it up, and it is unknown how the situation will be.
A considerable number of employees have not received wages for a long time. By early July, the amount of wages, pensions and subsidies owed to employees amounted to 221.6 billion rubles. Strike notices were filed one after another in various industries.
Under such circumstances, the Kremlin had to change its established policies and re-lend large amounts of money, which resulted in serious credit expansion and a further sharp increase in credit investment.
Fiscal deficits, credit expansion and cash shortages have led to a massive increase in currency issuance. In the first half of this year, a total of 274.8 billion rubles were issued, 3.1 times the amount for the whole of 1991 (89 billion rubles).
Since July, huge banknotes with a face value of 5,000 rubles have been printed, with 260 billion rubles issued that month. By August, nearly 200 billion rubles have been issued. If this situation continues, it is likely to exceed 2 trillion rubles by the end of this year.
The limits of Russia's banknote printing no longer depend on the economy, but on printing equipment and printing technology.
If banknotes are printed in this way, the ruble will depreciate rapidly and social wealth will be diluted. In other words, it will be "evaporated". Goods worth 50,000 rubles (before additional issuance) will be bought for 1 million rubles (after additional issuance). If additional issuance continues, the actual purchasing power of "1 million rubles" will be less than half of "50,000 rubles", which means that social wealth has evaporated by 1 million rubles.
When water evaporates, it goes to the sky. In the eyes of many young Russians today, American-style life is heaven. Assuming that heaven is equal to the sky, then the one million ruble steam was swept away by the Vantaa Project.
Nan Yi raised his head from the documents, walked to the yard outside, and looked up at the sky. In the sky, a cloud that looked very much like Leo Vanta was jumping up and down, as if cursing Nan Yi for not understanding economics and making blind guesses.
"It looks like it's going to rain today."
Nan Yi muttered to himself, thinking back to the several plans sent by the Intelligence and Strategy Committee:
1. Russia's grain imports this year will be between 17 million tons and 20 million tons. If the price is lower than this range, there will be problems with food supply in cities. Houji Agriculture can take the initiative to strive to win more order shares.
2. There will be problems with the supply of fresh vegetables to Russia. Houji Agriculture can establish a fresh vegetable supply channel to Russia.
Nan Yi has a deep understanding of this point. After passing through Suifenhe, he has seen clearly what the Russian people eat on their tables. Russia's land problem cannot be solved too quickly. Even with a pessimistic estimate, there is no need to worry about vegetable sales in the next two or three years.
However, Nan Yi was not too keen on establishing supply channels as the investment would be too huge and would require a fairly long payback period before he could make the investment. He did not dare to extend his plans in Russia too long.
Instead of establishing supply channels, it is better to directly purchase vegetables from the Northeast and Uzbekistan and sell them, and just be a vegetable dealer. It requires little investment and has quick results. Even if something unexpected happens, only one batch of goods will be lost.
In addition, there are quite a few domestic traders here, and many of them can cook for themselves. By opening a small supermarket specializing in selling domestic agricultural products, the traders can have a taste of their hometown food and relieve their homesickness. I believe the business will not be bad.
"It's just that the business is a little small. Nan's is not worth it, and I don't have the energy to do it. Forget it. When I meet someone I like one day, I will give him/her the opportunity."
After thinking about the agriculture-related issues, Nan Yi started to think about other things. Several other plans proposed by the Information and Strategy Committee emerged in his mind...
After staying in the consulate for four days, Nan Yi started to go out and his first stop was the Transformation Company at No. 3 Old Arbat Street.
When the economy of a place collapses, people will think about migrating away, and the same is true in Russia.
Chuck Berry, general manager of Transformation Company, reported to Nan Yi on the business situation of Transformation Company: starting from March this year, the number of people coming to consult has become an endless stream. At the beginning, they were mainly retired soldiers without jobs, mixed with a few young and beautiful Russian girls; later, the number of people increased, and people with the title of engineer also began to appear.
In recent days, a lot of computer-related engineers have come. When Nan Yi asked the reason, Chuck Berry replied that the National Computer Center had laid off employees and many computer engineers were unemployed.
Nan Yi asked him to take the resumes, and after carefully reading them, he picked out two from the pile of resumes and said, "Send these two to Hua Yi to have a look. If they want them, give them to them."
Nan Yi picked out two hardware experts. After Yu Youcheng became the president of Hua Yi, he first affirmed the previous research direction, and then proposed that Hua Yi needed to have its own hematopoietic business. He set his sights on PC.
Now Huayi already has a PC R&D team that is developing its own PC.
After reading the resume of the computer engineer, Nan Yi flipped through the resumes of engineers in other fields. However, he just looked at them and didn't say anything. He didn't understand technical things at all, and he couldn't tell whether an engineer had real talent or not by looking at his resume.
The talent team has its own way of making distinctions. He should not speak or give blind instructions. If he makes a mistake in identifying a person and investing in an illusory R&D project, a huge amount of money will be involved. Even if Nan's cash flow is sufficient, it cannot withstand a few setbacks.
It's all your family's money, and it's heartbreaking to lose it. A light-hearted phrase like "paying tuition fees" cannot cover up your own decision-making mistakes and actual losses. Even if you pull a few people over to package it as a collective decision, it's useless. The money that should be lost is still lost. If the Nan family goes bankrupt, there will be no one in the Bei family waiting for Nan Yi to be the decision maker.
After reading the engineer's resume, Nan Yi began to look through the photos of Russian girls. Ikeda's trainee dispatch was connected to several European modeling companies. As long as they screened out suitable people and sent them over, they could get a per capita fee.
This is a one-time business, but also a serious business. The modeling agency is a real modeling agency, not a wolf in sheep's clothing. Not many people are needed. Compared with the thousands of photos in front of Nan Yi, it is insignificant. Ikeda Trainee Dispatch is simply unable to provide suitable jobs for thousands of girls.
Of course jobs can be arranged, but they are all hard jobs with low pay. Even if the girls are willing to do the jobs, the Ikeda trainees are not willing to do them. Trainees cannot earn money, and the Ikeda trainees who rely on commission earn even less.
From a certain perspective, the Ikeda trainee dispatch organization can be called the Ikeda Labor Union. Apart from never claiming to be righteous, its role is similar to that of European and American labor unions, or even better.
First, they advance funds to send trainees from low-exchange rate countries to high-exchange rate countries, and then arrange a job with a reasonable salary. In addition to collecting dues in the early stage, they also need to recover the advance funds, so it seems that trainees have to pay more;
But in the later period, the interest on the advance payment was recovered, and the Ikeda Union only collected membership fees and provided a full range of services. However, some matters beyond the scope of the membership fee commitment required additional payment.
Viewed from another angle, Ikeda Trainee Dispatch is a devilish company that sucks blood from trainees. It takes a cut, it actually takes a cut from the trainees, and it outsources, it actually outsources population (labor). It is simply a capitalist among capitalists.
No matter how outsiders view the Ikeda Trainee Dispatch, Nan Yi only knows that many trainees call the Ikeda Trainee Dispatch the "Utopian Union."
Of course, there are also trainees who resist letting Ikeda take a cut of the trainee dispatch. Once their contracts expire, they immediately jump out and go solo. Some of them do well while others do poorly. Everyone has different abilities and circumstances.
From Nan Yi's perspective, he has a clear conscience. He has sent tens of thousands of people onto the "fast track". Whether they can continue to run faster than others depends on the individual himself.
Focusing on trainees exported domestically, the Ikeda Trainee Dispatch Program gives them the opportunity to earn tens of thousands of dollars a year. After three years of hard work and saving hundreds of thousands of dollars, if they cannot use this money to increase their wealth and achieve a class transition, then they cannot blame anyone else.
Looking at the photos, Nan Yi couldn't think of any high-paying jobs that could employ thousands of Russian girls. The salaries in some semiconductor factories were decent, but they preferred Asian girls who were dexterous and more obedient. He could only shake his head regretfully, as he would not be able to earn any money from this commission.
"Chuck, after the modeling business is completed, issue a statement that from now on, only women with special skills or high education will be accepted, and the rest will be ignored."
Nan Yi paused, stared at Chuck Berry's face and said, "I know some things are unavoidable. In addition to us, there are many other people who are also exporting labor. I can ignore the occurrence of some things, but it does not mean that I can tolerate our own people participating in it."
"Boss, I'll warn everyone," Chuck Berry responded.
In addition to the Ikeda Trainee Dispatch who are engaged in formal labor export, there are also many people who are engaged in disguised labor export, such as transnational marriage, human trafficking, organizing prostitution, defrauding human mules (hiding drugs in the human body and transporting drugs), etc. If the resume information in the hands of the Ikeda Trainee Dispatch is leaked, many women will be targeted.
What's more, if someone dispatched by Ikeda trainees uses the name of Ikeda trainees to help others deceive Russian girls, the chances of success will be very high.
Although Ikeda Trainee Dispatch is not well-known in the corporate world, it is a giant in the labor export industry. Its credibility and reputation have been established, and it has become a benchmark in the industry. People who are interested in working abroad and have learned about this information will naturally hear about the name of Ikeda Trainee Dispatch.
The benefits were taken away, and the blame was put on the Ikeda trainees. Whoever dared to do this, Nan Yi would let him see what a black coal mine and a black brick kiln are. It would also be a good opportunity to give the Slave-Choosing Team, which has never played a role since its establishment, some time to move around.
After staying in the Transformation Company for a few hours, Nan Yi went to the paging station again and had a detailed talk with the general manager Xia Lin to get a detailed understanding of the business situation of the paging station.
When establishing the paging station, Nan Yi had deeper considerations. He wanted to take the opportunity to step into the mobile communications field of the CIS countries, starting from Russia, and expand the business to other former member states. Then, depending on the situation, he would decide whether to separate the business from that in Russia.
Even if mobile communications cannot be operated in a monopolistic manner, as long as it enters the market early enough and lays out the base station network first, when competitors enter, it can completely open up the base stations and lines to share with them and charge reasonable usage fees.
If you can achieve a monopoly-style operation, you will make huge profits. If you occasionally hold a promotion and offer a slightly favorable price, consumers will be grateful. You will make money by relying on the support of thousands of consumers. This is much more elegant than making money by doing nothing.
Unfortunately, this can only be fantasized about. The initiative is not in your hands, but you still want to establish a monopoly. This is simply like washing yourself, smearing some sauce on yourself, and then lying on the grill, waiting for others to come and eat the delicious barbecue.
Not only should we not engage in monopoly, we should also actively invite powerful capital to join in. Only when multiple forces coexist can we invisibly restrain those who want to overturn the table and maintain the business for a long time.
After communicating with Xia Lin, Nan Yi realized that what he was thinking about was not yet the right time. Currently, the paging station has only more than 1,300 customers, and most of them are merchants in Modan Barracks. Merchants in Queen of Spades Garment City, Peace Leather City, An Ant, Luzhniki Market, and Weidenhan have not yet started.
Nan Yi was very dissatisfied with this result. After listening to Xia Lin's report, he immediately said sternly: "Establish a business team as soon as possible, first tap the internal potential, strive to get most of the merchants to join the network, and then go out and win over most of the Chinese merchants."
"Recruiting people from China?"
"First, find international students in universities. The commission can be higher. We must act quickly. By the end of December, I hope to have more than 12,000 customers joining the network."
"How high is the commission?"
Xia Lin's question made Nan Yi frown, but he thought that the other party's general manager position was a bit of a rush, so he was patient and said in a friendly manner: "Within the range of the monthly rent for one year, you can adjust it at will and formulate a tiered commission plan. In theory, the more customers the salesperson brings in, the higher his commission will be, which will help improve their enthusiasm.
I'll give you two days to work out a commission plan. I'll come over to take a look at it at 1pm the day after tomorrow. By the way, when looking for salesmen, it's best to find a few local Russians. As long as they can speak Chinese and communicate fluently with the merchants, it'll be fine."
"I see."
