439 Commission Based
To be honest, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan would have left if they had met someone like this. This wasn’t a matter of integrity, but they couldn’t complain as they were profiting from this.
They had to admit that Xue Dagui was extremely outstanding in this aspect.
This showed that Xue Dagui was just like Sifu, the both of them were extremely talented in marketing.
Xue Sifu wasn’t angry at all, in fact, he was even more amused. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, “Xue Dagui, how about this? In the future, if a person can sell more than three hundred popsicles a day, I’ll give you an extra coin for every twenty popsicles that exceed the limit. The wages were calculated separately. Everyone’s salary will still stay the same, fifteen coins. Whether you sell more than three hundred or not will be up to you.”
Wasn’t this a commission based work now?
Jiang Yue didn’t think that Sifu would do such a thing. No wonder Xue Yan said Sifu would get better and better at doing business.
He was smart. The commission based work could motivate the workers and to sell more popsicles.
“Perfect!” Xue Dagui immediately sat up straight. “Sifu, you’re not lying to us, are you? Then wouldn’t I be making more than fifteen coins a day?”
He was so thick-skinned that he would definitely sell more than 300 popsicles a day.
The other two men who sold popsicles laughed and said, “If that’s the case, then we have to learn more from Dagui. Who doesn’t love money?”
This was the effect Xue Sifu wanted. He laughed, “I’ve already told you, that’s definitely the case.”
“Sifu…” Xue Wufu could not see the point in all of this. He felt that 15 coins was already high enough. They were getting paid 15 coins for manual work, and Sifu was actually paying them for anything that would be extra. This was not the way to manage people.
“Don’t you worry about it.” Xue Sifu whispered to stop him. “We’ll see how it goes first,” he whispered to his younger brother, “If it works, we’ll be able to sell more popsicles every day.”
“More? Alright, alright.” Xue Wufu immediately brightened up again. He didn’t care why he could sell more popsicles, as long as he knew he could sell more.
“Can we start today?” Xue Dagui was salivating.
Or course!!” Xue Sifu said happily.
The eyes of the other two men who sold popsicles immediately lit up, and they looked very enthusiastic.
Originally, they could have sold popsicles together, but now, they had become competitors. All three of them wanted to sell the most popsicles.
Xue Dagui was the only one who felt no pressure.
First, Xue Dagui felt that he could definitely sell more than 300 sticks. Second, it was the first time Xue Dagui felt that there was a job suitable for him. It wasn’t tiring, he just needed to move around and talk to people. He usually talked to people like this. Third, he was actually very satisfied with 15 coins a day. He had originally hoped to earn ten coins a day.
“Then, Dagui, let’s go and sell popsicles again.” The two men who sold popsicles said.
“Sure,” Seeing that the two of them seemed to really want to learn from him, Xue Dagui was a little more encouraged to do well.
The three of them each carried two small wooden boxes and went to sell popsicles.
“I want to go too!” Seeing that the three of them had gone, Xue Wufu wanted to go as well.
However, Xue Sifu stopped him, “Don’t go, we definitely won’t have enough popsicles to sell today. While there’s still time, quickly hire a carriage to send you back and have the family make a few hundred more popsicles.”
