People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

Feng Hua Bicycles is already making progress in distributing its products nationwide within a month.

That evening, Lin Yi made some minor revisions to the project proposal.

The next morning, I prepared several red envelopes and visited each of the banking figures I had met the day before.

Along with the red envelope, a copy of the project proposal was also given.

The red envelope was generous enough, containing 10,000 yuan.

So everyone who read the project proposal praised it highly.

They all stated that they would study the matter as soon as possible and give Lin Yi a reply.

This was a necessary procedure, and Lin Yi understood it.

After a busy day, I finally arrived at the textile factory...

"Most of the drawings for the textile equipment have been completed."

Upon meeting him, Jing Zhizhong told him some good news.

"In addition, the university-run factory of Shanghai University wants to buy the technology of electric motors."

"As long as the price is right, it's fine."

The Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at Shanghai University was the unit responsible for this drafting project.

Lin Yi knew the blueprints for a complete production line, its scale, and the difficulty of the task.

To finish so quickly must be the result of working like crazy, burning the midnight oil.

Although he paid for it, he felt he should remember the favor because the other party was so helpful.

As for the electric motor technology, he wholeheartedly supports the other party's willingness to buy it.

This not only saved on initial investment, but also allowed them to treat electric motors as a separate industry and entrust it to a university-run factory with an academic background.

The prospects for development will definitely be even better.

It might lead to a whole series of products.

This is beneficial to the industrial base of the entire China.

Hearing Lin Yi agree so readily, Jing Zhizhong was happy but also somewhat troubled.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young master, they don't have much money."

"Look..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi offered a solution: "Then let's use our technology as equity and run this business together."

"You can discuss the specific shareholding with them."

Uh... I've run into a similar line of thinking.

Jing Zhizhong almost laughed.

I thought it would be an extremely difficult task.

Unexpectedly, before he could even bring up the idea of ​​a school, Lin Yi took the initiative to do so.

"Okay, I'll talk to them later."

After settling this matter, Lin Yi inquired about the procurement plan for production equipment.

The design is nearing completion; production can begin as soon as the equipment arrives.

Time waits for no one, so let's hurry!

"Some things have been agreed upon, but there are still some disagreements on the price."

What is the total budget?

"According to our current plan, it will cost about 800,000."

"I'm prepared to negotiate the price down to below 800,000."

Hearing Jing Zhizhong's answer, Lin Yi shook his head.

He said with dissatisfaction, "Old Jing, I'm glad you want to save me money."

"However, given your position, you need to have a long-term vision."

"The time lost cannot be bought back with tens of thousands of yuan."

"So we'll stop negotiating and go with their quote, but the timeframe has to meet our requirements."

"Moreover, the total budget has doubled, and we need double the amount of all the equipment."

Jing Zhizhong: "..."

Make a decision on a matter immediately.

Lin Yi then asked, "What about the person I asked you to find the day before yesterday?"

The leap was so large that Jing Zhizhong felt his brain couldn't keep up for a moment.

After a moment's thought, he hurriedly said, "I found two, both of them are quite clever and reliable people in the factory."

"Hand the men over to Liu Jing and let them learn from this old rascal how to negotiate business."

"Listen more, observe more, and think more."

"I'll test them when I get back."

"As long as they satisfy me, whatever salary they're getting now, I'll just add a zero to it later."

Originally, he planned to train these people himself.

However, now that Liu Jing is here, he doesn't need to handle such trivial matters anymore.

Liu Jing's abilities are enough for them to learn from for a long time.

He said this, but received no response from Jing Zhizhong.

Lin Yi looked up and saw that Jing Zhizhong had a blank expression on his face.

"What, is there a problem?"

"No...no! There's a problem."

Jing Zhizhong spoke somewhat hurriedly.

"Young Master, I agree with raising their salaries, but isn't increasing them tenfold too much?"

This old well is great in every way, except he's too stingy.

If you want your employees to create value, you must pay them adequately.

Otherwise, why would I risk my life for you?

Lin Yi was inwardly grumbling and about to criticize him when he suddenly realized something.

He glanced at Jing Zhizhong and lowered his voice without thinking, "Old Jing, how much is your salary now?"

"Four, forty-three!"

Lin Yi slapped his forehead, realizing how foolish he had been.

I completely forgot about something so important.

During this period, I was so busy piling tasks on Jing Zhizhong that I completely forgot I hadn't given him a raise yet.

If you ask someone earning 43 yuan a month to negotiate a deal worth hundreds of thousands, of course they'll be fixated on the smallest difference.

This is called "economic conditions determine one's perspective".

To put it figuratively, it's like Jack Ma has just quit his teaching job with a monthly salary of a few hundred dollars, and you immediately appear in front of him to discuss a business idea worth hundreds of millions.

He will absolutely think you're crazy.

Seeing Jing Zhizhong's awkward expression, Lin Yi shook his head with a wry smile.

It was my oversight; this guy was just too embarrassed to bring it up.

That's why this blunder happened.

"I was negligent."

Admitting his oversight, Lin Yi smiled and said, "From now on, you are the deputy general manager of Andao Company and the general manager of the textile equipment factory."

"Annual salary of 20,000, plus year-end bonus."

"As long as the factory is doing well, I guarantee your bonus will be higher than your salary."

Seeing Jing Zhizhong immediately turn into a dumbfounded goose, Lin Yi smiled, picked up his teacup, and leisurely began to drink.

High salary, plus bonus incentives.

Compared to my current monthly salary of 43 yuan, this is a hundred times more.

It's perfectly understandable that Jing Zhizhong couldn't process it all at once.

However, in Lin Yi's opinion, Jing Zhizhong was fully deserving of such a salary.

Since Lin Fang passed away, he has been responsible for both planning textile equipment and overseeing bicycle production.

Everything was handled in a very orderly manner.

Lin Yi was extremely satisfied with the progress.

This not only demonstrates his ability, but his tenacity is also admirable.

With a few more years of training, he will definitely become a capable general who can stand alone.

It took Jing Zhizhong a long time to come to his senses.

Then he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Young Master, this is too much."

"Even if you doubled the amount for me, I would still feel unworthy of it."

He had indeed considered the possibility of a pay raise.

Although this period of time has been fulfilling, it has also been truly tiring.

However, he only dared to dream of raising his salary to the same level as the textile factory director, which was eighty yuan a month.

It's really quite frightening that it's turned up so many times all at once.

He even began to suspect that Lin Yi was testing him.

"You think it's too much?"

"Ah."

Jing Zhizhong nodded like a chick pecking at rice, looking as awkward as a young boy.

"Then work hard. When you feel you deserve this salary, I'll give you a raise."

Jing Zhizhong: "???"

Is it going to rise further?!
