Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

After in-depth communication, Hao Qiang expressed high recognition of Wang Xiaofeng's professional ability and experience, and decided to truthfully introduce to him the salary and development prospects of the regional manager position.

"Manager Wang, regarding compensation, our company offers a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan and implements a 13-month salary system.

In addition, the company will pay five insurances for you and provide accommodation.

If the store you manage achieves its performance targets, you'll have the opportunity to receive additional performance bonuses in three tiers: one, two, and three months' salary. "Given the current business situation, it's very easy to get the highest-tier bonus," Hao Qiang explained.

Of course, if the new store doesn’t have good revenue, that’s another story.

I just need you to come over and be responsible for expanding the new store."

In the current market environment, the salary level offered by Hao Qiang is undoubtedly very competitive.

For a company like Renjianyanhuo with hundreds of employees, the position of regional manager is almost equivalent to that of vice president.

As the company grows and develops, the number of employees under his supervision may reach nearly a thousand in the future, and Wang Xiaofeng's salary will continue to rise.

Compare this to the future Hidilao, a company that uses a mentor-apprentice model, with two salary designs for store managers:

First, 2.8% of the profits of the restaurants they manage;

Second, 0.4% of the profit of the restaurant managed by himself + 3.1% of the profit of the restaurant managed by his apprentice + 1.5% of the profit of the restaurant managed by his grand-apprentice.

Generally speaking, store managers will choose the latter.

Regardless of the model, the annual income of such store managers can easily exceed 500,000 yuan, or even millions of yuan.

But for ordinary employees, they cannot enjoy such high income, and the fairness of this salary structure is obviously questionable.

Hao Qiang probably understood this model, which was very conducive to the company's rapid expansion. In order to get higher profits, the master made the apprentice work hard and do a good job.

At the same time, it is also conducive to raising money through listing.

However, there are also great disadvantages. Its labor cost is very high, which is not conducive to long-term development.

If it's just for making money, this master-apprentice model is really good.

Today, Hao Qiang is conducting in-depth research and exploration into a more reasonable and sustainable management and development model to ensure that the company can protect the rights and interests of its employees while pursuing economic benefits.

Even without going public, the company can still make money.

After listening to Hao Qiang’s introduction of the salary and benefits, Wang Xiaofeng was quite tempted.

If qualified, he will enjoy an annual salary equivalent to 13 yuan, and if his performance is good, it can reach up to 16 yuan.

In the end, Wang Xiaofeng agreed to meet and discuss in detail, and the telephone interview ended.

Passing the phone interview does not mean you have been hired; a final interview is still required.

Moreover, during the three-month probation period, the probationary salary is 80% of the regular salary, that is, a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan.

Renjian Fireworks Company promised to reimburse the round-trip transportation costs for the interview. Wang Xiaofeng was very satisfied with the salary and benefits, and the other party was also sincere, so he decided to give it a try.

After Hao Qiang finished the call, he said to Zhang Yi, "Sister Zhang, please contact Manager Wang. He plans to come from Chengdu to meet us in two days. Please arrange a car to pick him up and call me when you get to the company."

"Okay, boss."

Zhang Yi replied with a smile, saying that she had nothing to report and then left the general manager's office.

……

The next day was Sunday and the sun was shining brightly.

Hao Qiang came to the school square and announced that he would hold a signing event.

In the past two days, according to enthusiastic feedback from his classmates, many music-loving students in the school have been eager to buy his records, but have been struggling to find them anywhere.

After the purchase, they hope to get Hao Qiang's autograph, and many students have already passed on information to him through his classmates.

Hao Qiang felt that the time was ripe and decided to hold a signing event in advance as a benefit for Chinese University students.

He firmly believes that, just as those students said, his signed records will become valuable collector's items in the future.

Lin Nan specially dispatched professional staff to assist in the sales of records.

Without the terminal share, most of the sales revenue from the autograph session will go into Hao Qiang's personal pocket.

However, Hao Qiang plans to donate all his personal income from the book signing event to the school to establish the "Human Fireworks" inspirational scholarship to support poor students in the school.

This is not only his first charitable act, but also a way for him to give back to CUHK and society.

At the same time, it will also help Hao Qiang expand his positive influence and enhance the brand influence of Renjian Fireworks.

After learning of Hao Qiang's decision, the school gave a positive response and full support.

After the students learned about Hao Qiang's plan, whether they had money or not, they all decided to support him.

Hao Qiang's EP album is priced at 30 yuan. Although it has fewer tracks, the packaging of each album is exquisite and designed specifically for signatures, making the cost-effectiveness of this album particularly outstanding.

Compared to the 37 yuan price of Jiang Jie's first album CD plus 5 postcards and lyrics book in 2005, Hao Qiang's pricing does not seem expensive.

Students who heard the news flocked to the studio, enthusiastically buying records and queuing up for autographs.

Some astute students realized that this was Hao Qiang's first album and his only autograph session, so the album had a very high collection value.

For those students with ample funds, they would buy multiple albums without hesitation and plan to collect them as treasures.

"He Qiang, why are you buying so many?" Someone asked curiously when he saw his classmate He Qiang bought five tickets.

"You don't understand this," He Qiang said with a smug smile, "Brother Qiang's wealth and fame are constantly growing. It will be difficult to get his autographed records in the future. After all, Brother Qiang won't hold any more autograph sessions in the future."

"Are you planning to invest?" a classmate asked curiously.

"Yes." He Qiang responded with a smile, "If we weren't classmates, I wouldn't have told you. The fewer people who know, the better. That way, Brother Qiang's autographed record will be more valuable."

"Damn, they are all really strong!"

"In front of Hao Qiang, I can only be Xiao Qiang. He is the real Brother Qiang!" He Qiang said proudly, "Besides, I am also supporting charity. It's killing two birds with one stone."

After listening to He Qiang’s analysis, the other students also felt that it made sense.

Even if they are not well-off, they are willing to save some money to buy the album. After all, the album may become very valuable in a few years.

Moreover, this also supports charity, and the beneficiaries are the students of this school, or maybe even yourself.

There are many students as smart as He Qiang. After the news spread, the investment behavior was no longer a secret. Many students came to buy it. Whether they like it or not, they just regarded it as an investment, and it was also a support for Hao Qiang's generous behavior.

In addition, owning Hao Qiang's autographed record also gives you a lot of face in front of your classmates.

In other words, I donated thirty dollars to the school.

When Hao Qiang's classmates learned that the old monitor was holding an autograph session, they came to support and help maintain order at the scene.

Due to the large number of supporting students, some students even bought two or more records, forming two long lines that were tens of meters long.

When students who had already bought records but had not yet signed them saw the line getting shorter, they joined in, keeping the line at several dozen meters long.

Hao Qiang had to inform the staff that each person could only sign a maximum of two records unless they lined up again.

He has been signing autographs non-stop since ten in the morning.

At lunch, he just hurriedly ate a steamed bun, and the students in front of him in the line urged him not to be anxious, but the students in the back of the line were very anxious.

When six o'clock in the afternoon arrived, the signing event had to come to an end.

The signing efficiency is much slower than copying books, and only four to five hundred records can be signed in an hour.

Fortunately, his name has two characters. If it were three characters, the efficiency would be much lower.

This signing event sold about 3450 records, with a revenue of RMB 10,000, of which about RMB 60,000 went to Hao Qiang personally. He then personally contributed tens of thousands of yuan, making a total of RMB 100,000, which he donated entirely to CUHK.

One hundred thousand yuan is a lot of money in this era, and it can cover the tuition and miscellaneous fees or living expenses for a year for more than a dozen poor students.

After the event, the school’s vice president Xu Shuisheng accepted the donation on behalf of the school.

He held Hao Qiang's hand tightly and said to him affectionately: "Hao Qiang, we have seen and remembered the contributions you have made to the school and to the poor students. Thank you very much. It is our pride and honor to have such an outstanding student like you in our school."

"Principal Xu, you're welcome.

I'm also a student at CUHK. If I have more money in the future, I will increase my donations to support education development." Hao Qiang replied with a humble smile. He said that as long as it does not affect the company's development and the company reaches a certain scale, he will allocate a portion of the company's profits to support charity.

Doing charity not only helps those in need, but also helps to improve one's own social status and enhance the brand influence of individuals and companies.

This donation also directly opened up the school leaders' personal connections.

All the teachers and students present were moved by Hao Qiang's sincerity and generosity, and they applauded and cheered for him.

"Good, you have passion and social responsibility. I believe your company will develop better and better, and I am looking forward to it very much." President Xu praised, saying that all universities welcome such generous private bosses.
