Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 411: 122: Business development and culture, Fuwa is the son of Li Xianxian! _3

“Sister Li, we’ll be heading back now.”

“Alright. Take care on the way, and be safe.” Ni Yang escorted the four of them out.

Upon getting into the car, one of the workers opened the bag of candy given by Ni Yang and exclaimed in surprise, “Wow! Sister Li is so generous! There’s not just candy in here, but cigarettes too!”

Cigarettes?

The others, upon hearing this, immediately perked up, they quickly opened their bags to discover that besides candy, there was indeed a pack of cigarettes.

Another worker exclaimed, “There’s a red envelope! Do any of you have a red envelope?”

“Seriously, there’s a red envelope?” Wu Daming, who was driving, asked in disbelief.

“Yes, there’s a red envelope!” the worker replied while opening it, “I just don’t know if it’s empty.”

One worker who had already opened theirs, joyfully declared, “It’s not empty, there’s money in it! I have 18 yuan here, check how much you guys have.”

“I also have 18 yuan.”

“Me too!”

Wu Daming pulled the car over to the side of the road and opened his own bag of candy to check.

Heavens!

Inside, there indeed was a red envelope and cigarettes.

Ni Yang was incredibly sensible, it wasn’t surprising she could manage business so well!

“Yangyang, who was here?” Ni Cuihua walked in from next-door the moment Wu Daming had left.

Although the new house was already built, it hadn’t been finely decorated yet, so they were still temporarily living with Ni Chenggui.

“It was Wu Daming.” Ni Yang explained, “Mom, Wu Daming sent over the machines for producing skincare products. Next month, the second ‘Ice-Touch Jade-Skin’ physical store will open. We can think about hiring a few people to manage the skincare products.”

Although ‘Ice-Touch Jade-Skin’ only had one physical store, they were overwhelmed with orders, needing temporary workers for at least fifteen days of the month.

Once the branch store opened next month, they’d undoubtedly be even busier.

Plus, Ni Yang was planning to introduce a new product: face masks.

Yang Shulin had already sent over the mask samples last month. With Ni Yang’s confirmation that there were no issues, the mask sheets would arrive in bulk at the end of the month.

Ni Cuihua nodded, “Yangyang, how many people do you think we should hire?”

Ni Yang thought for a moment, “Let’s start with five.”

“Alright, I’ll mention it in the village tomorrow. Is the wage still 35 yuan?”

“Let’s set the wage at 40 yuan.” Ni Yang continued, “Next month, I’ll also raise Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang’s wages to 40 yuan.”

Ni Yang was a good boss. If she could afford meat, she wouldn’t let her employees have thin gruel.

Every employee’s support and hard work is crucial to a company’s success.

If the employees don’t love their job, it’s only a matter of time before the company goes under.

What makes employees love their job?

Besides a good company culture, a good salary is crucial.

All people are the same; no one works for love for no reason.

Ni Yang, having started from the bottom, understood workers’ psychology well.

Consider a simple example.

Two best friends held the same job, but they worked at different companies. If the salary of one was a third higher than the other, one wouldn’t need to guess what would happen. The one earning less would attempt to switch to the other company, while the other would stay put, work hard, and not give anyone a chance to poach her.

A company that makes its employees want to quit is not a good company!

Ni Cuihua never interfered in Ni Yang’s business matters. She simply nodded her head and repeated, “Alright, I’ll bring it up in the village tomorrow.”

“By the way, Mom, how much Aloe Vera and Portulaca have we harvested lately?” Ni Yang asked.

Ni Cuihua replied, “All the Aloe Vera and Portulaca we’ve harvested recently have been used to make skincare products. We have no inventory left.”

‘Ice-Touch Jade-Skin’, due to its effectiveness, had become popular all over Beijing. People from nearby cities had even heard of it and came to buy it.

The number of employees at the ‘Ice-Touch Jade-Skin’ physical store had increased from the initial four to six.

“No inventory left?” Ni Yang frowned slightly, “What about the roses?”

Ni Cuihua replied, “We’ve harvested around fifty jin of roses. They’ve all been made into pure rose dew and rose essential oil.”

After distilling rose petals, two products can be extracted: one is rose essential oil, and the other is pure rose dew.

Approximately 0.0025g of rose dew and 0.0002g of essential oil can be made from a single jin of rose petals.
