Both of them knew very well why they were meeting this time, so there was no need to keep him in suspense. Pei Qian did not take Meng Chang seriously either. This was just one of the smaller troubles he had. He had to work on other things after quickly resolving it.
Pei Qian said, "You already know the general content of the job. This time, I'm mainly talking to you about the salary."
"You can choose freely between the two models: the first is a fixed salary of 40,000 yuan per month. As long as you complete the tasks, you will not lose a single cent. The second is a low base salary and commission method. The base salary is 3,000 yuan, and the commission ranges from zero to 200,000 yuan."
"The specific calculation method of the commission is, of course, linked to the publicity effect of the advertising and marketing. I will send someone to do data analysis and give you a commission based on the money spent on each advertising plan, the popularity created, and the publicity effect. "
"The more you spend, the lower the popularity, the worse the publicity effect, and the higher the commission under the premise that you do not insult consumers, violate the relevant laws and regulations, and use normal marketing methods."
Meng Chang immediately said, "I choose the second method … Wait, the lower the popularity, the higher the commission?"
"Inversely???"
Meng Chang felt that it was quite normal when he heard the previous content.
A low base salary and high commission was the model he was looking forward to.
A monthly salary of 40,000 yuan might be a high income for most people, but it was completely unsatisfactory for Meng Chang. After all, when he was a senior executive in a big company, his salary had already far exceeded this figure. Even if he did not go to a big company now, there were many places that could give him a monthly salary of 40,000 yuan. There was no need for him to take this dead salary of 40,000 yuan under Boss Pei's hands.
What's more, 40,000 yuan was used to pay off debts. After deducting taxes and miscellaneous living expenses, even if he paid 300,000 yuan a year, the debts on his body would be enough for him to pay off for twenty years.
How many twenty years could one have in life?
During this period, he would always be a judgment debtor. There were too many restrictions. He could not even take the high-speed rail or plane to travel. He could not even think about buying a house, traveling, vacationing, going abroad, and so on.
He would be at the age of retirement by the time he finished paying off his debts. Basically, it would be equivalent to spending his entire life muddle-headed. He could not possibly think about making a comeback at the age of fifty or sixty, right? That was not realistic at all.
There might have been a chance if it had been a few decades earlier, but it was impossible now.
Sometimes, Meng Chang even felt that if he could get rid of all his debts by going to prison for three years, he would rather go to prison. After all, there were many people who started a new business after being released from prison. It was better than paying off twenty years of debt.
If he calculated according to the two hundred thousand yuan commission that Boss Pei had given him, he might be able to pay off the money in five to six years under an optimistic scenario. This was an opportunity that no other job could give him.
The only problem was … why was the popularity inversely proportional to the commission?
The worse the advertising effect, the more money Boss Pei would pay?
What kind of logic was this?
Meng Chang thought that he had heard wrongly and asked again, "Boss Pei, did you just say that it's inversely proportional?"
Pei Qian nodded, his tone confident. "Yes."
Pei Qian did not intend to explain, nor did he need to. In any case, as long as he appeared confident enough, Meng Chang would always come up with a reasonable reason.
He took an agreement from the side. "These are the detailed rules. You can take your time to read them. You can fill in the time column yourself. Three years, five years, ten years … The longer the agreement is signed, the more commission you will get. "
Meng Chang fell silent for a moment. He took the agreement and read it word by word. He felt that there was a huge danger behind it.
Could Boss Pei be plotting against him?
His sixth sense told him that there was a pit inside, but he could not figure out where the pit was after much thought.
It would be easy to understand if the publicity effect was better and the more money was given. Meng Chang was very confident in himself. He would definitely make clear arrangements in terms of marketing and publicity. He would definitely get a high commission.
However, Boss Pei's condition was: the more he spent, the lower the popularity, the higher the commission.
In layman's terms, it was to spend as much money as possible, but the worse the publicity effect, the better.
What benefits would this bring to Tengda? Did he think that his publicity budget was too much? Was he worried that he could not finish spending it?
That didn't make sense!
Meng Chang felt that this matter would not benefit Boss Pei at all, unless … Meng Chang's publicity plan exploded every time. If that was the case, Meng Chang would only be able to get a base salary of 3,000 yuan. He would probably not be able to pay off his debt for the rest of his life. The better his work was, the more uncomfortable he would feel.
However, Meng Chang felt that it was impossible for that to happen.
Many giant companies spent tens of billions of yuan on marketing every year. The person-in-charge of the advertising and marketing department was all hired with high salaries because this was a technical job. It was not easy to do well, but there were a lot of people who could not do it well.
Such a job would even be easier for Meng Chang. He did not need to rack his brains to think of various marketing plans. Wouldn't he be able to get a high commission just by fooling around?
Meng Chang read the agreement many times even though he instinctively felt that something was amiss. He could not figure out what was wrong.
Meng Chang was also an old fox. He did not lack knowledge in finance and law. He could tell that the contract itself was not a scam. It even made him feel that it was a little unreal.
The only restriction was that Meng Chang could not mess around. For example, he could not directly insult consumers in the advertisement, engage in regional or gender discrimination, violate advertising laws, and so on. Someone would be in charge of supervising.
However, this clause was quite reasonable to Meng Chang. It could be considered a protective clause to prevent him from taking advantage of loopholes. It was understandable.
Meng Chang thought about the millions of yuan in debt he was carrying and said, "Alright, I'll sign it."
"Time … is the longest ten years?"
Pei Qian nodded. "That's right. If you sign for ten years, the highest commission per month will be 200,000 yuan. If you sign for three years, the highest commission per month will be 100,000 yuan. The longer you sign, the higher the commission. "
Meng Chang was silent for a moment before he decisively took the pen. After signing his name, he filled in ten years in the column of years.
Ten years it was. Of course, he had to get a high commission!
Meng Chang knew very well that he would regret it very much if he signed for three years and found out that he could get a commission of 200,000 yuan later.
It would not take him ten years to pay off all the debts according to the progress of 200,000 yuan per month. However, he could earn a few more years even if he paid off all the debts.
He would still be considered to be in his prime ten years later. If he accumulated some wealth, it would actually be a good choice to enjoy life or start another business.
Pei Qian was very satisfied. He smiled and said after putting away the agreement, "Alright, I hope you can pay off your debts as soon as possible!"
Meng Chang: "?"
For some reason, he felt that Boss Pei was full of mockery when he said that.
…
Meng Chang still felt unreal when he left Dream Realization Ventures.
He took out the agreement that he carried with him and read it carefully. There was indeed no problem?
"Forget it, I've already signed it. Don't think so much."
Meng Chang felt that it was useless for him to worry about gains and losses now. This was already his best choice at the moment.
According to Boss Pei, he would only officially start work next month. Meng Chang could still rest and adjust his mentality during this period.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a familiar face hurriedly walking towards him.
Meng Chang shivered instinctively. Wasn't that Boss Ma?
He still remembered that during the news conference of the Cold-Faced Lady, Boss Ma had pretended to be not very smart and successfully deceived him. Then, he had thrown out two soul questions that went straight to the core of the problem, causing the entire news conference to not achieve the desired effect.
How could someone who could become Boss Pei's right-hand man be ordinary?
Meng Chang quickly lowered his head and left in a hurry.
Ma Yang brushed past Meng Chang. He took two steps before stopping and looking back.
"Eh, why does this person look familiar? When did I see him?"
"Er … I can't remember."
Ma Yang scratched his head. He had a lot of things to do recently, especially in preparation for the exam week. He had been in seclusion for a long time. How could he remember everyone when he had to meet so many people in a day?
Ma Yang quickly forgot about this small episode and walked happily towards Dream Realization Ventures.
…
"Brother Qian!"
Before Pei Qian could see Ma Yang's long face, he heard the latter's loud shouts.
Ma Yang pushed open the door to the guest room and entered the next second.
Pei Qian put down the information in his hand. "Eh? Old Ma, why are you here? "
Ma Yang chuckled. "I've been preparing for the exams and didn't have time to report my work. Now that the exams are over, I should put my energy back into work. "
"By the way, Brother Qian, the results seem to have been released on the Academic Affairs Office's website today. Have you checked it?"
Pei Qian perked up instantly. "Eh? The results are out? I'll check it now. "
He immediately took a laptop from the side and opened the Academic Affairs Office's website. He logged in and checked the results.
"Heh! I scored 72 points on that closed-book exam! "
Pei Qian could not help but feel proud.
The closed-book exam was the most difficult for the liberal arts majors in university. The difficulty of the closed-book exam might be much lower than the open-book exam, but most people could not be bothered to memorize it.
It would be easy to memorize this knowledge in high school, but it was completely different in university.
Most of the courses that the liberal arts majors failed the most every year were closed-book exams, and more than half of them were boys.
There was no other reason, but mainly because they were lazy.
Pei Qian scored 72 points, which meant that his revision was effective. If the teacher had given him friendship points, he would probably have given him more than 60 points at most. Every extra point was due to Pei Qian's own hard work!
"Old Ma, how many points did you score?" Pei Qian asked.
Ma Yang chuckled. "I'm just slightly higher than you, Brother Qian."
Pei Qian's smile disappeared instantly. "How much is a little higher?"
"81 points," Ma Yang said.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment. "What about this open-book exam? I scored 79 points. "
Ma Yang looked. "Brother Qian, I'm just a little higher than you. 82 points."
Pei Qian asked a few subjects in a row, but Ma Yang scored higher than him in all of them.
Finally, when he asked the last subject, Ma Yang scratched his head. "I'm not as high as you in this. I scored 74 points, one point lower than you."
Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression finally looked better.
Fortunately, from the first year to the third year, there was finally one subject that scored one more point than Old Ma!
It seemed like his serious revision had paid off. It might only be one point per subject, but it was a good start!
