Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 171 - 172: Does Third Uncle Go into Sales?
Chapter 171: Chapter 172: Does Third Uncle Go into Sales?
Thankfully, both daughters were good students, and in their first exams upon starting school, both ranked within the top ten of their class.
“Third Uncle Xu, do you want to start working at our factory first?”
As soon as Third Uncle Xu heard Xu Ying’s voice, his face lit up with surprise, and he put down the spatula he was holding: “Yingying, are you saying I can work at your factory?
“Doing what, not cooking with a bunch of women, right?”
He had been cooking at home for the past few months, so much that he almost felt sick of the kitchen.
The thought of cooking alongside a bunch of women unsettled him, and exhaustion spread across his face.
“No, it’s sales. You’ll get paid based on how much you sell. If you do well, you might make a few hundred or even a few thousand yuan a month. If you don’t do well, you might not make a single ten cent coin in a month.
Think about it, and if you feel it’s okay, then come find me in the county. I think duck products are quite sellable; it’s just that people haven’t tasted the deliciousness of duck products yet. Once they do, sales will definitely take off,” Xu Ying said confidently.
Third Uncle Xu had tasted duck products, so naturally, he knew how delicious they were.
Such tasty things, he couldn’t believe no one would eat them.
He agreed on the spot: “I’ll go. When do I start?”
Xu Ying knew her uncle would never shy away and, with a smile, said, “You can go anytime, but this job may require you to travel out of town on business, so discuss it with your wife first.”
Third Uncle Xu’s machismo instantly flared up: “Discuss what? Just a woman, what does she know, as if she could influence my decisions.”
Xu Ying shot him a cold glance, and Third Uncle Xu instantly shut his mouth, his ardor extinguished as he gave her a sheepish grin: “I was just joking.
You go back first. I’ll talk it over with your aunt tonight and give you an answer tomorrow.”
Xu Ying nodded; her aunt wasn’t very opinionated and always listened to her uncle, so there was no doubt that her aunt would agree.
However, Xu Ying did this in hopes that her uncle would learn to respect his wife, and that as a couple, they should discuss things together before deciding.
The next day after Xu Ying went to work, Third Uncle Xu couldn’t wait any longer and came to the county to find her.
“Yingying, I can start work right now; take me to your factory manager now!”
“Uncle, have you had lunch yet?” Xu Ying asked.
Third Uncle Xu’s stomach made a harmonious noise, accompanied by his dry chuckle: “Not yet, I was in a hurry to start work, you know?
Your aunt went to work, and here I am, a grown man still not working. How embarrassing would that be if word got out?
By the way, didn’t you say before that you could get me a job in the textile factory? Why a food factory now?”
Xu Ying smiled and served Third Uncle Xu a plate of dumplings: “Uncle, let me guess why you wanted to work at the textile factory!”
Third Uncle Xu’s face tightened instantly.
Xu Ying continued with a smile: “I heard that there was some trouble between you and your wife, involving a third party, no less. That man’s family couldn’t compare with ours.
But he was smart and studious, and he got a job at the textile factory. I heard you also took the exam but didn’t pass, right?”
Third Uncle Xu was mortified. Many people didn’t know about this, how did his niece find out?
Embarrassed and blustering, he couldn’t seem to find the words.
Seeing his reaction, Xu Ying chuckled, knowing she had guessed right: “Working as a salesperson at the food factory is just one part of it. If you do well as a salesperson there, later on, you could also work as a salesperson at the textile factory, holding down both jobs at the same time.
Forget how much money you make, having two jobs would make you so proud to talk about, wouldn’t it?”
Third Uncle Xu was instantly captivated by the enticing picture Xu Ying painted. Wasn’t that the case? His niece had two jobs now, and everyone in the village talked about it with envy.
Not to mention his elder brother and sister-in-law; whenever they heard people’s envious comments, they were so proud they could practically fly.
Third Uncle Xu looked at his niece excitedly, “Yingying, are you serious?”
“Can Third Uncle Xu also find two jobs to work at once?”
Xu Ying smiled and nodded. “Of course, as long as Third Uncle can sell the goods, the more he sells, the more he earns.”
“Then you wait, after I have my meal, we’ll go find your factory chief.” Third Uncle Xu gulped down his food, afraid of wasting time.
When Third Uncle Xu finished lunch, Xu Ying said a word to Master Ge and then took Third Uncle Xu to the food factory.
Mr. Sun still trusted Xu Ying’s character. After glancing at Third Uncle Xu, he directly had someone take him to the sales department, but as a temporary worker, he didn’t even get a basic salary as temporary workers do.
The commission Mr. Sun offered Third Uncle Xu was ten cents for each thousand yuan sold, much less than Xu Ying’s, but Xu Ying was the one who developed the finished products.
Third Uncle Xu had a rough plan in his mind as soon as he started working.
“Yingying, do you think Third Uncle could win a batch of goods if I go to Shanghai?
Our duck goods are so delicious; surely the people there would like them.
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
And the people in the big city of Shanghai aren’t short of money.”
Xu Ying raised her eyebrows, not expecting her uncle’s ambition to be so great.
She shook her head, not endorsing Third Uncle Xu’s method.
Taking orders from Shanghai was possible, but you couldn’t overstep too soon or it would backfire.
Besides, Shanghai is a large provincial capital. If they brought a bunch of duck goods over, they probably wouldn’t even get to see the director of the Department Store.
The duck goods might be tasty, but without a reputation, everything would be futile. What they needed to do now was to make the duck goods take off with a bang.
“Third Uncle, our county Department Store hasn’t even ordered the duck goods from the food factory. Do you think Shanghai will want them?
If our own people don’t want it, could you sell it to a stranger, and would they take it?”
Third Uncle Xu stared in astonishment. “Aren’t the duck goods selling really well in our county? Why hasn’t the Department Store stocked them?”
Xu Ying shrugged; that was for their factory chief to answer. The food factory and the Department Store had always had a partnership, but since the Department Store got tricked once by the food factory, their relationship had soured.
All the Department Stores across the country are led by one big boss. If they can’t even resolve this issue in the county, how could they possibly sell the goods to the county?
So the issue concerning the duck goods was just the tip of the iceberg. There was much more merchandise that would require the Department Store’s patronage.
That hatred had to be resolved.
Xu Ying briefly explained the conflict between the Department Store and the food factory. Upon hearing this, Third Uncle Xu’s forehead creased deeply.
With hatred between the two, how could he continue selling goods to the Department Store?
Xu Ying really waved at him, then leaned over to whisper in his ear. Third Uncle Xu’s face suddenly lit up with a smile.
“Third Uncle, do you know what Huo Chen does?” Xu Ying suddenly asked.
The smile on Third Uncle Xu’s face stopped abruptly, and he looked at Xu Ying questioningly. “Why do you ask about him? Has he troubled you?”
Xu Ying hesitated and nodded slightly.
Third Uncle Xu became immediately indignant. “Yingying, you tell Third Uncle how that kid troubled you, and the next time he does business, I’ll report him straight away.”
“Report him for what?” Xu Ying skeptically asked.
Third Uncle Xu said angrily, “You all are so naive, thinking Huo Chen could just build a house by selling game.
All his money comes from the black market. What else could you do on the black market but speculate and profiteer?
The kid has his ways, though. Several people have been caught before, but he manages to escape every time.”
