The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 131 Salary Increase for All
The next morning.

Song Yanxi put on her Bulgari floral sunglasses.

These glasses were a gift from her husband; she bought them on a whim during her last trip to Sanlitun.

The price isn't high; the official price is less than 500,000, just over 400,000.

I used to be reluctant to buy anything, but now I pick the most expensive things.

There's not much time to compare; anyway, the more expensive ones can't be too bad.

She has never driven any of her three cars: the Cayenne, the F12 gets a decent amount of attention, and the LaFerrari is just too much.

The sound of people cheering, and the slightest touch of the accelerator, would draw everyone's attention within a hundred meters.

At first, I wasn't used to it, but I gradually got used to it.

Just like the sunglasses she's wearing, she never imagined that buying a pair of glasses would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

It's the kind specifically designed to block out the sun.

These days, even an ordinary outfit costs no less than 10,000 yuan.

It's understandable that Chen An'an would casually smash a newly purchased limited edition bag on the ground in front of LV's store.

It's really nothing.

The LaFerrari gets 100% attention when it goes out, even in this villa community.

Her husband also said that he wants to buy a large courtyard house this year, within the Second Ring Road. Song Yanxi felt that this would not be too difficult.

Although even slightly better courtyard houses are now in short supply, with prices starting at hundreds of millions.

But her family can already afford it.

Shuiyunjian is not too far from their home, only a ten-minute drive away.

The car was parked at the school gate, and everyone nearby knew whose it was. They would greet it with a smile when they saw it.

It's already September 5th, and the beauticians' salaries will be paid on the 10th.

Song Yanxi called over her financial director.

She is a highly educated woman, and she is already twenty-nine years old this year.

"Don't calculate last month's salary yet. Notify all finance staff that the commission for beauticians' manual work will be doubled, and their base salary will also be increased by two times."

"Starting last month."

"Huh?" Last month's salary has already been calculated.

According to this standard, wouldn't that mean a comprehensive improvement, not just a slight increase, but a complete doubling of the value?

With that kind of income, she even considered learning how to become a beautician.

The boss had to listen to him, so the CFO immediately notified the entire finance department to recalculate all salaries.

Chen Qi, who had received the message quickly, rushed over immediately: "Sister-in-law, I heard from the finance department that salaries need to be recalculated?"

Chen Qi is just a bystander; she spends half her time taking care of her two little ones at home.

"Your brother's idea."

Song Yanxi said with a smile, "He thinks our company's profits are too high and we have to spend more on the employees. You should also send a notice in the group saying that last month's payslips will be released a little later."

"Okay, I'll get right to it."

Chen Qi also has his own small office, though it's not very big.

A large computer sat on it. She rubbed her hands together. Her brother was the only major shareholder of Shuiyunjian.

Whatever needs to be done here, it's all decided by their family.

Chen Qi turned on her computer and found the work group:

"Sisters, I have to tell you that the pay slips will be issued a little later."

No one spoke. So what if it's a little late? It's not a big deal.

The boss won't delay their wages anyway.

Chen Qi found it boring, and these people weren't surprised at all.

She then asked from below, "Don't you guys want to ask what the reason is?"

"What's the reason?"

A goofy little beautician popped up.

"Why are you the only one asking? Where are the others?"

"They're all working, I just finished!"

"Oh, I see." Chen Qi chuckled. "Then let me tell you a secret: last month's salary won't be calculated based on last month's standard anymore. Our big boss just said that all beauticians' salaries will be doubled again, starting from last month's calculation. Isn't that surprising? Isn't that amazing?" The simple-minded beautician, biting into a big steamed bun, said, "What are you talking about? My salary last month was almost 26,000 yuan. That's pretty good, isn't it?"

"That's pretty good, then I congratulate you."

Chen Qi said, "Double the commission for handicrafts and triple the base salary. Do you have a calculator next to you? Go and calculate it!"

The goofy little beautician: "...!"

"Don't try to fool me, I don't believe in telecom fraud."

"Why would I lie to you? I'm the boss's sister, Chen Qi. I naturally have firsthand information."

"Ah? You're Ancestor Chen Qi!"

Chen Qi: "..."

How did she become an ancestor?

However, this news completely brought out everyone who was lurking in the group.

"Ancestor Qiqi possesses boundless magical power, and is invincible in every attack and battle."

"The Great Immortal Qiqi, with divine power over the Central Plains, possesses great supernatural abilities and boundless magical power."

"What's going on with Qiqi? Why is she suddenly getting a raise?!"

"A raise is a good thing."

Chen Qi just loves to joke around: "My brother said you're all working too hard. He wants you to earn more so you can buy a house and a car in Beijing through your own efforts. Aren't you happy?"

"I'm very happy and touched."

"Sister Qiqi, your brother is so nice."

"Our boss is so generous, this salary increase is really unexpected."

"Haha, you're the happiest. You broke 50,000 in salary last month. If you keep going like this, you'll have 100,000 in salary."

"Yeah, if we keep going like this, maybe I can save up enough for a down payment this year."

"I'm so happy."

The group of people below all turned into Pleasant Goat.

Chen Qi also enjoyed this moment, feeling that her brother had done another great thing.

This immediately made the more than two hundred beauticians so happy they were practically flying.

She even invited her sister-in-law to come and see for herself.

In the afternoon, the president's office issued a formal notice.

Shuiyunjian implemented a comprehensive salary adjustment.

The exciting moment has finally been confirmed.

The beauticians were all calling home to share the good news; this round of salary increases was significant.

Instead, they've all become high-income earners in Beijing.

They can go home in style and glory.

Earning 500,000 to 600,000 yuan a year at such a young age, who wouldn't be the pride of their family?

Many parents from the countryside even brought some of their old hens to Beijing to see their legendary good boss.

Meanwhile, Chen Pingsheng was already busy rapidly expanding Boiling Sheep.

Having 1.5 million in hand means you'll spend it very quickly.

It's difficult to raise salaries here because net profit has already been controlled below 5%.

He can't just take money out of his own pocket to subsidize his employees; that wouldn't meet the standards of a boss.

The price had already gone up once before, so it's fair to say that the profits of traditional catering can't compare to those of high-end beauty salons at all.

The person most excited about completing the financing was undoubtedly Gao Hu.

The shares he held suddenly became valued at 50 million.

If we complete another Series C round, that would bring the total to around 80 million.

It can only be said that the higher he goes, the more tens of millions he makes with each jump.

This is just too much fun!

This is something he can't compare to running a hot pot restaurant in Shacheng.

In his own words, it was really exciting!
