Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

Lin Ting took her mother's documents and completed the formalities smoothly.

The location that Fang Deliang found for her to set up the school was also quite unique.

It wasn't the abandoned factory that Lin Ting thought was cool, but rather—

"An abandoned warehouse?"

Lin listened to her own echo lingering in the warehouse, feeling somewhat dazed.

This... could save us the cost of a loudspeaker.

Fang Deliang felt that this place was really not presentable, so he rubbed his hands and explained, "Boss Lin, please don't be angry. It's just that time is tight and the task is heavy. This is the biggest place I could find."

Lin Ting's lips trembled slightly.

It is indeed big, very big.

This place used to be a warehouse for a steel mill, but it was abandoned after the mill was relocated.

Steel mill warehouse!

It would be a miracle if it were small!

She wanted a bigger place, but this place was too big.

Looking at the empty warehouse, Lin Ting pointed to the broken window and said, "Winter is just around the corner, won't people freeze to death?"

"It only needs a little repair. We'll bring over a few braziers later..."

"A place of over 3,000 square meters, can be solved by just a few braziers?"

"Then... recruit more students. With more people huddled together, it will be warmer."

"A person of normal build needs 0.3 to 0.5 square meters to stand. Are you asking me to cram six to nine thousand people into a warehouse? Is this how classes are conducted?"

"What...what's that old saying again? Plum blossoms bloom in the dead of winter?"

"..."

"Boss Lin, besides the room we're standing in right now, you can use those four warehouses to the east and west as well! Use them freely!"

Lin Ting stiffly turned to look at him: "Mr. Fang, I just want to open a tutoring school, not host the Olympics."

This place is way too big. Is she supposed to hold a concert for 10,000 people?

Is this how classes are taught?

Fang Deliang paused for three seconds before revealing the most bombshell news: "The main thing is that this place is free, it doesn't cost any money."

Lin Ting took a deep breath: "This is it!"

“But you’re setting up a school, not hosting the Olympics.”

"A spacious learning environment is conducive to students' physical and mental health!"

"But it's cold."

"My renovation team is incredibly professional when it comes to a few panes of glass."

"But there aren't even ten thousand people in one class..."

Lin Ting turned to look at him: "Do you still want a share of the profits?"

Fang Deliang's smile then shifted to Lin Ting's face.

Lin Ting walked around the warehouse twice.

Believe it or not, when something is completely free, all its flaws disappear.

What an amazing phenomenon!

Lin Ting, with her hands behind her back, said to Fang Deliang, "Is this land included in the city's planning? I mean, I don't want you to make me move after I've just recruited several thousand students."

Fang Deliang smiled and shook his head: "This land is not currently in the planning stage, but my older brother's idea is that if the tutoring school can really be established, it wouldn't be difficult to allocate this land to the school for building school buildings."

Hearing this, Lin Ting felt relieved.

Sure enough, Fang Deliang's elder brother was after political achievements.

With his attitude, Lin Ting knew what she should do.

Fang Deliang led Lin Ting around a few times, then asked, "Is there anything else I can do?"

"The water pipes here should be usable, right? We can't exactly make them dig a well, can we?"

"I'll have someone come and inspect it tomorrow. It should be fine. After all, it's an old state-owned factory warehouse. Although it's abandoned and not in use, it hasn't been maliciously damaged."

"And then there's the electricity problem. Our main teaching time is at night, and it's pitch black here..."

"We'll inspect them together. We'll install some lights here and make it as bright as daytime."

"Speaking of old state-owned factories, didn't they have any discarded tables, chairs, or benches?"

"Well... I'll look for it for you, maybe it'll be there."

"Well, it's not that I'm trying to save money, it's just that if I order these things from the furniture factory again, it might take a year or two to get them delivered..."

"Oh, I remember now, which high school said they were going to replace their desks and chairs? They must have some usable ones. I'll have someone bring them over for you."

"Then let's..."

“Boss Lin,” Fang Deliang interrupted Lin Ting, “is that enough? There aren’t even any students in the school yet, so there are a lot of things I can’t bring myself to say!”

Lin Ting looked at him innocently: "What I meant was, let's go then, I'll treat you to milk tea."

Fang Deliang: "I don't think that's necessary, hahaha... I'd better hurry up and find you some tables and chairs."

Watching Fang Deliang run away again, Lin Ting sighed sincerely, "Mr. Fang is truly a kind and simple man."

……

Before welcoming the first batch of students, the warehouse that Fang Deliang found for Lin Ting was used by Lin Ting as a training ground for the salesmen outside the window.

Zhang Liang had already started recruiting shop assistants when Lin Ting went to Shenzhen.

Nowadays, more and more people are taking unpaid leave, making recruitment easy.

Before Lin Ting held a meeting for them, these new employees had already received initial training from Zhang Liang and Feng Pan, gaining a basic understanding of pricing, service requirements, and other aspects.

Lin Ting's training mainly focuses on sales skills.

The goods outside the window have the same price throughout the city, and there won't be a single penny cheaper, which saves a lot of time and effort in haggling.

However, in a market where most merchants allow bargaining, it's unacceptable not to let customers get a little bit of a bargain.

"...Therefore, when the total amount of a single purchase exceeds 50 yuan, we can give the customer a keychain pendant. These are several styles with different colors, and they can choose one themselves. If it exceeds 100 yuan, we can give a bracelet as a gift. And for any amount above that, we can add more items based on the amount."

"This is a special offer for the new store opening period. The promotion is only valid for the next two weeks. It is important to make this clear to customers."

Lin finished speaking and finally brought up the issue of benefits and rewards/punishments:

"Your base salary is 100 yuan, plus a 1% commission on sales, and a transportation allowance, meal allowance, etc., totaling 30 yuan. Besides that—"

“Every month, I will select the top-selling branch and the top-selling overall based on the sales figures for that month, and give them bonuses of fifty and one hundred yuan respectively.”

"Of course, if there is any malicious competition or poaching of customers, the employee will be dismissed immediately upon verification."

“We have a complaint mailbox at the entrance of each of our stores. If we receive a customer report or complaint and the investigation confirms the report, we will disqualify the store from being selected as the top seller for that month and impose a fine of 10 to 30 yuan depending on the severity of the offense.”

As Lin Ting spoke, the thirty or so girls in front of him couldn't help but start imagining what it would be like if they became the top salesperson, earning a base salary of 230 yuan per month, plus a lot of commission!

They had all worked at Feng Yue's shop, a shop near a university, which had daily sales of about six or seven hundred yuan. The shop they were about to go to was better than that one in both location and size, so...

They felt as if they were witnessing money sprouting wings and flying around.

They can hold them in their palms if they just reach out.
