In the end, Li Mochen was unable to give William pointers on fighting techniques. It was not that William was unwilling, but Xuri Company had suddenly called to inform Li Mochen that they had found three suitable locations and wanted Li Mochen to see if he was satisfied. Other than that, the company had also looked for a few professionals in sales and distribution channels, which he needed to oversee personally.
Kadeem Jebson's progress was quite astonishing. In less than a week, he had already made progress in all aspects. He had even secured two sales channels and was only waiting for Li Mochen's signature.
"I've already done a preliminary investigation and found out that in the entire Amelica region, a few household appliances brands from Japan, such as Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Toshiba, Sharp, as well as Siemens and Bosch from the Teuton Republic, are the best-selling and most popular. "The Japanese have good quality and low price, while the Teutonic Republic has fine workmanship, durable products, and a good reputation. "I've already secured the underwriting agreement from Mitsubishi and Toshiba, and Siemens and Panasonic are in the midst of negotiations. "These few companies don't have sales agents in the East Coast yet, so they're only entrusted to a few distributors. "Oh, there's also Samsung Electronics from Korea, but I don't know the quality of their products."
As they drove to a store together, Kadeem Jebson tirelessly briefed Li Mochen on the progress of the integrated store plan.
Li Mochen flipped through the documents. "The key is the price. If there's no suitable price, it's useless for us to attract customers."
"The price will definitely not be higher than the other distributors. They also promised that if we can achieve a certain sales volume, they will give us a 2% to 4% rebate. You can read the contract for the specific terms. It's roughly divided into three levels: one million, ten million, and thirty million gold duns. The two even promised to deliver the goods to our doorstep, and we only need to pay 30% of the advance payment before we sell the goods. "I predict that after we've negotiated with Siemens and Panasonic, the situation will be similar. Only the household appliances manufacturers in America aren't progressing very smoothly. "
Kadeem Jebson shook his head involuntarily, looking like he had a headache. "They are relatively complete in terms of sales channels, and their attitude is also very arrogant. They don't care about us. Even if we can take down one or two of them, we won't have much of an advantage in terms of price. "
"It doesn't matter. If we can't come to an agreement, we can just show them some products. If our plan succeeds, they will come to us."
Li Mochen had already finished reading the contract in his hand. Then, he signed his name without hesitation.
This was because the contract had already been signed by Li Mei. Women were usually extremely sensitive when it came to price, and this was even more so for a financial officer.
At the current stage, he didn't think that these two couldn't be trusted.
Li Mochen was quite satisfied with the survey of the store's location. The three locations that Kadeem Jebson had chosen were all in line with his expectations. They were located near middle-class neighborhoods, had a certain flow of people, and had good public security. The problem was that the property owners' prices were relatively high, and the lease period was not ideal. However, this could be discussed slowly.
Li Mochen was leaning towards six years. If not, four years was acceptable.
"I will get the lease as soon as possible. If we really can't come to an agreement, we can use it as a backup. The City of Atlanta is very big, and there are many choices."
Kadeem Jebson then took out a few documents. "Then, for the renovation, I have already consulted a few renovation companies. According to your requirements, Boss, I asked them to come up with the simplest and most cost-effective renovation style. They have already taken out several plans and renderings, as well as a price per square meter. "
"Kadeem, you will be in charge of this matter. You don't need to report to me."
Li Mochen casually flipped through the blueprints. "I only have a few requirements. Make sure it is spacious and bright, and slightly more durable. After all, we will be using it for five years or more. Also, make sure the renovation is fast enough to ensure that there is no special smell after the renovation is completed. It can't harm the health of the employees and customers. Oh, right, the toilet is the main point. It has to be of a higher grade. "
This round of work took a full three hours. When Li Mochen returned to the Unicorn Condominium, it was already late at night.
However, the next morning, Li Mochen had to take two more classes off and go to the company to meet the applicants.
Li Mochen's interview was very simple. He only needed to answer a few of his questions.
This action seemed casual, but after that, he still eliminated nine people from the group.
Li Mochen suspected that three of them were either sent by enemies like Antonio or his sister, Jennifer.
In short, they could not pass Li Mochen's psychological test. When answering his questions, all of them felt guilty.
The rest were either not strong-willed enough, or their moral character was not up to standard. There were also two who were not optimistic about the future of Xuri Company. The reason why they came to apply for the job was to make a short-term living.
Such people were easily swayed, and it was difficult for them to survive the hardships of the early days of Xuri Company.
Li Mochen didn't mind paying his employees a high salary, but what he needed were combat personnel who could fight for the company, not a group of people who just wanted to muddle along and just muddle along.
In the end, there were only four people who passed his interview. Li Mei could not help but put on a very helpless expression and complained, "Look, it's just a few questions, and more than half of the people we selected were eliminated. You can't do this, Ammo. You have to choose at least half of these people. We want to open eight stores, or maybe nine. This requires hundreds of employees and salespeople, and we are far from having enough manpower.
"Just these four, we'd rather not have them. The location of the store, the renovation, and the organization of the supply. We still have at least a month before the opening. We have time, right? Let's take it slow. "
Li Mochen did not intend to change his mind. "If it really doesn't work, the company can appropriately expand the scale of recruitment. I've emphasized before that as long as we have a reliable enough backbone team, the rest can be hired by newcomers who have no work experience, or even students who are working part-time. What I want is a team full of fighting spirit, especially the salespeople. "
Kadeem had a strange look in his eyes. "I more or less understand what you mean, boss. But if it's just to save money, we can actually consider hiring immigrants."
He saw the essence of the problem. Although Li Mochen said it in a dignified manner, in fact, he was still a capitalist by nature. He wanted to maximize the overall scale of the staff's salary while maintaining combat effectiveness.
"Illegal immigrants, huh?"
Li Mochen was slightly tempted, but he shook his head.
This would bring legal risks to the company, and the enemies he would face in the future would definitely not be stingy in this aspect.
In order to deal with the future war, the fewer loopholes on his side, the better.
"Just do as I said. Although the newcomers have no sales experience, they have enough enthusiasm. After a short period of training, they can be qualified for this job."
"Also, I thought of another idea. We can set a probation period, three months, maybe five months. The base salary can be lower, 2,000 gold duns, but we can set up a sales commission system to stimulate their enthusiasm — "
"2,000 gold duns?"
Li Mei was confused. "But if that's the case, will there be people applying?"
"You can write something else on the recruitment notice."
Li Mochen raised his eyebrows. "With the future commission, the monthly salary will be 10,000 gold duns. I think an excellent salesperson should be able to get this salary. "
At this time, the average monthly salary in America was only 5,000 gold duns.
