Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Chapter 612 - 291: Business That Comes Knocking! (Part 2)

"The Nourishing White Mask and the Insomnia Terminator pillow need to quickly establish two branches."

"One is cosmetics, the other is home textiles, managing the accounts through the entertainment company doesn’t seem quite right."

After hanging up Bai Yulan’s call, Jiang Tao contemplated and felt it was time to open two more branches.

He began to consider people around him whom he could fully trust and were worth relying on.

As his companies expanded, Jiang Tao needed more management talent by his side.

He didn’t demand that the bosses he appointed have outstanding abilities.

What he valued was their character, recognition of the company and him personally, and loyalty.

These three were the main criteria he considered when selecting talent.

With him evaluating the character of employees, combined with the Bo Le skill to assess their abilities,

Jiang Tao was definitely skilled in knowing people and using them well, and he had never misjudged anyone.

"We are short on people, really short!"

Jiang Tao shook his head slightly, feeling that the people around him were still too few and insufficient.

"Old Jia, what does your wife do?"

Jiang Tao leaned back in his chair, chatting casually with Jia Guolin.

"Boss, my wife works in a mall selling home textiles."

Jia Guolin answered Jiang Tao’s question while driving.

"Home textiles?"

Jiang Tao laughed upon hearing Old Jia’s words; it seemed like a fortunate coincidence.

He was just thinking of recruiting talent in this area, and Old Jia’s wife happened to be in this field.

Jia Guolin added, "She sells bedding, sets, quilts, pillows, and the like."

Jiang Tao asked, "How are her sales? What’s her monthly salary?"

Jia Guolin replied honestly, "Seven to eight thousand a month."

"Not bad at all, almost catching up to a man’s salary."

Jiang Tao had much admiration for Old Jia’s wife.

Before acquiring the system, he used to haul goods at the Red Star Second-hand Furniture Market, earning just seven to eight thousand a month.

"Yes, my wife is very capable and has sacrificed a lot for our family."

When talking about his wife, Jia Guolin’s tone became softer, feeling deeply grateful for everything she had done for their family.

"Ask her if she’s interested in switching to work for me."

"I can’t guarantee much, but at least her salary won’t be lower than it is now."

Jiang Tao had become increasingly adept at recruitment, eager to bring talented individuals into his company.

"Alright, I’ll call her up and talk to her about it, boss."

Upon hearing Jiang Tao’s suggestion, Jia Guolin’s eyes lit up, seeing it as an opportunity for his wife!

He knew well how generous his boss was to his employees.

Just a few days ago, he took all the company employees to Disney, spending hundreds of thousands!

What other boss has such boldness?

Due to his child being hospitalized, Jia Guolin couldn’t join the trip.

He thought it was over when he missed it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiaqi even gave him a cash bonus of 10,000 yuan!

Jia Guolin hadn’t even been a full-time driver for Jiang Tao for a month and hadn’t received a salary yet.

But with Jiang Tao’s meals, tips, and bonuses, he had already earned over 10,000 yuan.

That was more than his previous monthly effort.

Following such a benevolent boss, there’s no way it would be a loss!

This was a common understanding among all employees at Jiang Entertainment Company.

With the boss extending an olive branch to his wife, Jia Guolin would do everything to get her to switch over!

While driving, they casually chatted.

Soon, Jia Guolin delivered Jiang Tao to the Starbucks entrance at the Wanxianghui ground floor.

"Old Jia, go deliver goods to Xiaoshanhe, then come back for me to go to Huilongguan Industrial Bank."

"Sure, boss."

Jia Guolin nodded in agreement, then drove off to deliver goods to Liu Yuan.

Jiang Tao, on the other hand, turned and went inside the Starbucks.

Today was a weekday morning, and there were only two tables of customers inside.

Upon entering, Jiang Tao’s gaze quickly locked on a figure in a beige cardigan and blue jeans.

"President Jiang! You’re here!"

As if sensing his gaze, Gu Lina turned around and saw Jiang Tao, quickly standing up with a smile to greet him.

"Grab whatever you’d like to drink."

Jiang Tao greeted her with a smile as he walked over, then naturally sat across from her on the leather-covered chair.

"Uh, thank you, President Jiang, but no need. Order what you like; I haven’t been to Starbucks and don’t quite like coffee."

Seeing Jiang Tao, Gu Lina appeared quite reserved.

Having been in a high position and head of several companies, Jiang Tao now exuded a strong presence.

Gu Lina, who mostly stayed home writing and rarely interacted with others, had a small social circle with virtually no connections.

She hardly ever encountered bosses like Jiang Tao. It was understandable she felt nervous.

"No need to be so reserved. If you don’t like coffee, you can try milk tea; they have it here."

Jiang Tao said while scanning the order code on the table with his phone, then casually handed it to Gu Lina.

"Oh, thank you, President Jiang."

Gu Lina, slightly socially anxious, last mustered great courage just to ask Jiang An’an for an autograph and picture at KFC.

Seeing Jiang Tao being so polite, she felt embarrassed to refuse repeatedly, in case it seemed she lacked appreciation.

Jiang Tao ordered a latte, and Gu Lina ordered a medium-sized milk tea.

The morning orders were quick, and in less than three minutes, Gu Lina returned from the counter with the drinks.

After sipping his coffee, Jiang Tao got to the point and asked:

"Xiao Gu, are you a full-time writer now?"

"Uh, President Jiang, you’re overestimating me, I’m not some writer, just a scribbler, yes, a scribbler."

Hearing Jiang Tao call her a writer made Gu Lina blush, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

She only earns about 2000 a month from her books, barely enough to be considered a writer.

However, she was diligent.

Besides writing on the website, she also ghostwrites for others.

Combining her ghostwriting fees and her own earnings, she makes about five to six thousand a month.

She rarely goes out, has low spending desires, and her monthly expenses are around 2000.

Her writing income isn’t much, but sufficient to support herself.

She could even save up a bit to give to her parents during New Year visits.

"Would you consider switching to screenwriting? I read your book and felt it was well-written, very cinematic."

"I feel if you transition to screenwriting, you’ll earn more than from your current novels."

"Coincidentally, our company is looking for a full-time scriptwriter to design plots and scripts for our signed-up talent anchors."

"Would you consider joining us? Salary-wise, the probation period is 8,000."

"Post-probation, at least starting at 10,000, and if the script excels, and results in good follower growth, there’s a bonus share."

Jiang Tao wasted no time, quickly laying out the salary and requirements he could offer to Gu Lina.

"8,000 during probation??"

Hearing Jiang Tao’s offered salary, Gu Lina’s eyes widened, thinking she might be hearing it wrong?

Moreover, this 8,000 was probation salary!

Once confirmed, the salary is at least 10,000!!

Since college, Gu Lina had been doing part-time jobs, and in the few years since graduation, she hadn’t achieved a single month’s earnings reaching 10,000!

"Yes, 8,000 for the probation period."

Jiang Tao watched Gu Lina with a smile, his tone assured and sincere.

"Um, President Jiang, I don’t have experience in this area, I’m worried I might not do well."

Gu Lina looked at Jiang Tao with apprehension, deeply drawn to the job offer yet unsure of her capability.

"You’re quite honest, admitting your inexperience right to my face."

Jiang Tao, hearing her response, felt even more determined to recruit her:

"Honesty is a quality I greatly value and cherish the most."

"Regarding the work, skills can be gradually learned, but an honest character is hard to come by."

"Don’t worry, Xiao Gu, I have high hopes for you."

"If you’re willing to join our company, we’ll ensure proper training and send you to professional courses."

"Ah? This..."

Gu Lina appeared visibly overwhelmed by Jiang Tao’s words.

What qualities did she possess to earn such regard from President Jiang!

"Could it be, President Jiang is my Bo Le, discovering my screenwriting talent?"

Considering this possibility, she looked at Jiang Tao with a heartfelt sense of gratitude.
