Chapter 911: 893. Internship Salary
On this side, Song Hongi and Song Youde were heatedly discussing; one wanted a big TV, while the other said that you have to pay for the internet cable yourself…
The two of them babbled and dragged on until they finally haggled the price to a state where both were satisfied.
anwhile, Qiaoqiao rushed over like the wind, her down jacket flung open, causing Grandma to exclaim in alarm: “Don’t run so fast! Zip up, or you’ll catch a cold and end up with a cough and diarrhea…”
But, which kid ever listens!
Qiaoqiao pretended not to hear and shouted to Zhang Yanping:
“Brother Yanping, my sister said, arrange for a few dozen sets of shell jackets!”
Zhang Yanping dropped the chestnuts he was holding, Xin Jun’s sweet potato was too hot, tossing it a few tis before throwing it back into the stove, both looked at Qiaoqiao:
“Say that again?”
Qiaoqiao was about to repeat, but Zhang Yanping had already stood up:
“What does she an! I made my fortune selling fruit; do I look like I have channels to sell clothes? Isn’t she asking too much of ? She only pays
2500…ah no, 3500 and the rest I earn myself!”
Qiaoqiao also widened her eyes: “Brother Yanping, you do even less work than , why do you get 3500… my sister only gives
50 a day!”
Qiaoqiao felt heartbroken!
Zhang Yanping also felt humiliated—he neither feeds dogs, cooks pig feed, nor feeds chickens, ducks, and geese, and does not help with cooking…
But how can a intellectual worker be the sa as a physical laborer? He was about to roll up his sleeves to assert his dignity, when he saw Xin Jun frowning solemnly:
“Qiaoqiao, you’re still studying—It’s normal for internship pay to be low.”
“Ah? Is that so?” Qiaoqiao seed pensive—She had indeed heard such talk about internship wages before!
He quickly accepted it and repeated his sister’s request:
“Alright then… but I won’t be an intern forever, Brother Yanping, hurry up and buy the clothes!”
Zhang Yanping: …
Underworld boss with a grim face stood there, his body tense as if ready to fight, but eventually, he sat down and picked up a chestnut: “I can’t!”
…
The need for clothes was eventually resolved by Tian Tian.
After Zhang Yanping posted on his social dia, Sun Ziqiang curiously asked Tian Tian—she had previously done promotions at conferences and perford very well, hence she was directly picked by the counter staff to do sales.
Although she didn’t earn as much in sales as she did in promotions, the stability with a base salary was better, especially considering the comfortable temperature in the mall, and the shift tis ant she didn’t have to stand for so long every day.
The sudden drop in temperature made everyone willing to spend money, and Tian Tian was thus quite enthusiastic—High performance, high salary!
Now seeing Sun Ziqiang’s screenshot, she blinked in surprise, then turned around and called Song Tan:
“You want shell jackets, right? How many sets do you need? Do you have requirents for size, color, or style?”
Song Tan thought for a mont: “Just make the size bigger so it’s easy to stuff clothes inside, and so that everyone at ho can wear them. I don’t have many requirents for color or style as long as they are thick, wind-resistant, and warm…”
After calculating, including even Professor Song’s family mbers, they would need around twenty sets at least.
“Make it twenty sets.”
Twenty sets is not too many, but also not too few.
Tian Tian paused for a mont: “Only shell jackets? Do you want down jackets too? The styles are a bit old but definitely thick, mainly because they are cheap.”
Song Tan thought for a mont: “Do you have a channel for it?”
Tian Tian pursed her lips and smiled, glancing in the direction of the store warehouse: “Didn’t I do promotions recently? For three days I was selling a big brand’s out-of-season styles—not even last year’s, but from two or three years ago, but they are cheap because of that.”
“There’s also a down jacket brand that features out-of-season designs—thick and from styles of two to three years ago.”
However, the promotion was average back then—the reason was simple, there were too many rchants promoting at the sa ti.
And why so many? That harkens back to the events from the previous two years when everyone found it inconvenient to go out…
In any case, Tian Tian said, “Their brand was in the shopping mall, during inventory we found over forty leftover jackets and more than seventy down jackets in stock…”
“The quality is really good, with plenty of filling. I even bought so for my parents, and…” Ziqiang bought so too!
Song Tan thought for a mont, “Then give
a minute, let
crunch so numbers first.”
“Okay!” Tian Tian was breezy, “I’ll go talk about the price first. Buying so many at once, we can’t still be paying the promotional price per piece, right?”
Song Tan was intrigued.
This was perfect, she didn’t need to think it further, and directly asked, “If I take them all, what price can you negotiate?”
One for each elderly person under the community’s care in the village, then distributed among relatives and friends, grandmothers and uncles taken care of…
That should be enough! Clothes don’t spoil!
Regarding the old styles from a few years back… It’s not important, not important at all. Who cares about such things in the village!
Tian Tian was spirited, “Then wait a mont! The jackets are from a famous brand, retailing at a special price between 299-599— I know there are cheaper ones, but the styles they’re currently selling all go for over 1000… It’s a reputable brand to gift, right!”
“The sa with the down jackets, I saw this year’s new styles, so cost three to four thousand each… But the special price ones are around 499-899…”
She was full of confidence, “You can rest assured, it’s definitely a good deal!”
Tian Tian was efficient.
She was still at work then, but made a quick decision, took half a day off, and went to talk to the managers of the two brands—
How nice!
You’re looking for deals, I’m trying to clear inventory, a mutually beneficial arrangent!
Plus, due to the brand’s pricing control, they couldn’t lower the promotional prices too much, especially since the styles have been out for two to three years…
If they don’t sell, they’ll have to be sent back to the factory cheaply to so discount store, which isn’t great for their store’s stock managent.
Thus, after all that, Tian Tian managed to seal the deal before the end of the workday—
“Jackets uniformly priced at 165 yuan each, don’t worry, mostly large and extra-large sizes, only a few small sizes.”
“Down jackets priced at 280 yuan each, available in both long and short styles, all very thick. There are so small sizes, but the cuts are loose, so they fit.”
“Also, there’s a small brand promoting so leather cotton pants, made of PU leather, nicely made and quite thick… I took the initiative to negotiate the price, 40 pairs for a total of 3000 yuan.”
Leather cotton pants are great!
Though they make you look ugly, fat, and old-fashioned when worn, anyone who has lived in the countryside knows, most old people don’t use washing machines. In winter, because clothes are washed and wrung by hand, they often end up looking both dirty and worn.
Even more so, so elderly wear the sa clothes all winter long except when visiting relatives.
These leather cotton pants, with leather outside and fleece inside, just need to wear a layer of long johns underneath.
If they get dirty, just wipe the outer layer with a damp towel, and no worries about the cold air seeping in during wind, rain, or snow…
“Great, great, great!” Song Tan was very pleased, “It’s perfect to prepare one for each elderly person.”
In total, just a bit over thirty thousand yuan.
Song Tan promptly made the transfer, recalling the initial budget of sixty thousand yuan, she couldn’t help but sigh…
Oh well, she’s really getting generous! Nowadays thirty thousand yuan seems like nothing!
