Chapter 269 Recruiting, Signing Contracts!

After greeting the viewers in the live stream.

Jiang Tao did not disappoint them, and took out the auspicious ingot he brought back from his hometown and gave it to Zhang Bo for appraisal.

"Wow! Good stuff! Brothers, see that? This thing is a real gem!"

"The Jiyu Ding, also known as the Kailu Ding, is equivalent to a commemorative coin from the Qing Dynasty!"

"Currently, the market price of Brother Jiang's Jiyu Ding is..."

Due to the restrictions of the live broadcast rules, Zhang Bo did not directly state the price, but instead typed a string of numbers on the computer next to him.

600000!

This number is exactly the same as the value given by the system, not a penny more or less!
Seeing the price Zhang Bo offered, Jiang Tao smiled.

Of course, he was laughing not because of how much money the auspicious ingots had made, but because he felt he had made a friend worth getting to know better.

Although Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo have only known each other for a little over two months, less than three months, and have met no more than 10 times.

The two brothers are five or six years apart in age, so they are not the same age.

But the two brothers felt like they had known each other for a long time and were sincere with each other, which is why they became good friends.

As people reach middle age, they gradually shift their focus to marital relationships and family.

You will become estranged from many friends you used to eat, drink and have fun with, or even break off all ties with them.

This makes it difficult to make genuine friends.

Jiang Tao is the same.

As he entered middle age, he preferred to spend more time and energy with his family.

Although he and Xu Li had been living apart for a long time due to work.

But after get off work each day, he rarely went to play cards or drink with Wang Zhihao, Shan Yufei, Zhang Chao, and the others.

He preferred to be alone in his rented apartment, video chatting with Xu Li and Jiang Xue.

Zhang Bo and Li Ming are not married or have started a family yet, and in their values, friendship is still the top priority.

In the course of the three brothers' interactions, Jiang Tao, who placed more emphasis on family relationships, actually contributed far less than Zhang Bo and Li Ming, which was an imbalance.

Under such circumstances, it is truly remarkable that I was able to make two good friends, Zhang Bo and Li Ming.

"Wow! 60! Such a small thing is worth 60! That's enough to buy a 100-square-meter house in our county!"

"My savings of more than ten years are not enough to buy even one silver ingot?"

"We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich! The gates are open! The main gates are open!!"

"envious!"

"Brother Jiang, how much did you buy this auspicious ingot for? How much profit can you expect?"

"Hey, can you ask Brother Jiang if he's selling this auspicious ingot? I'll take it for 60!!"

The viewers in Zhang Bo's live stream went wild again after hearing his price quote for Jiyuding.

Some were jealous, some were envious, some showed interest in buying, and some even expressed a desire to purchase it.

Most of the fans or viewers in Zhang Bo's live stream are enthusiasts who love collecting antiques, and some of them are quite wealthy.

Since following Jiang Tao's advice and starting live streaming, I've sold over a dozen items in the live stream, which has given me an additional sales channel.

"If you're interested, you can send me a private message and I'll add you to our treasure appraisal group."

"Let's talk about it after the broadcast ends. Brother Jiang must have come up with this today because he was thinking of something."

"Brother Jiang brought something else today, but it's not an antique; it's something rather special."

"It's a Bitcoin key containing 2 Bitcoins. If you're interested, feel free to message me to discuss it further."

"Everyone wait a moment, Brother Jiang has something to do and has to leave. I'll go see him off first."

After saying something to the viewers in the live stream, Zhang Bo got up and saw Jiang Tao out.

Zhang Bo did not immediately transfer the money for the auspicious ingots and the Bitcoin key to Jiang Tao; it was considered that Jiang Tao had consigned them to him.

Once these two items are sold through his channels, his shop will only charge a tiny service fee.

Of course, only Jiang Tao can enjoy this treatment; no one else can even dream of it.

"Brother Jiang, drive carefully on the road. Let's get together sometime."

"Okay, you can go back and get busy. See you later."

Jiang Tao smiled and waved to Zhang Bo before striding towards the parking area.

At the same time, Jia Guilin, the designated driver he had arranged, called him to say that he had arrived at the parking lot.

Sure enough, when Jiang Tao arrived at the entrance of the parking lot, he saw a familiar figure waiting there in the distance.

Jia Guilin!
This man, whom Brother Tongzi praised as the "holy body of designated drivers," does have reliable driving skills.

Recently, Jiang Tao has also specifically sought out Jia Guilin several times.

Once you've had enough, you'll get to know each other better; now the two are more like friends who are only half-acquainted.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Jiang!"

Jia Guilin looked up and saw Jiang Tao. He quickly put on a smiling face and greeted him.

After all, they are our big spender, so it's only right to show them respect.

The last time Jiang Tao asked Jia Guilin to drive Xu Li and the others back to Beijing from his hometown of Jiangjiazhuang.

Jiang Tao not only reimbursed Jia Guilin's travel expenses, but also his food and lodging.

Jiang Tao paid him over 3000 yuan just for the designated driver fee.

After safely delivering Xu Li and the others to Beijing and completing the mission, Jiang Tao sent Jia Guilin a separate red envelope containing 888 yuan.

Jia Guilin has been a designated driver for four or five years and has never encountered a customer as straightforward as Jiang Tao, so he respects him very much.

"Master Jia, you've been waiting for a long time."

Jiang Tao smiled and greeted Jia Guilin, then tossed the car keys in his hand to him.

"No, I just arrived less than two minutes ago. Mr. Jiang's arrival is just in time."

After taking the car keys that Jiang Tao tossed to him, Jia Guilin smiled ingratiatingly and said something.

The two walked and talked as they headed toward where the Mercedes-Benz G-Class was parked.

After finding the car, Jia Guilin opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, while Jiang Tao pulled out the back seat and sat in the back seat.

After the two got into the car, it started and headed towards Lao Li's Used Car Wholesale Market on the South Third Ring Road.

"Master Jia, how much do you earn a month as a designated driver?"

On the way, Jiang Tao sat in the back seat, bored, and chatted with Jia Guilin.

"If you work hard, you can earn 13,000 or 14,000 a month. It's all hard-earned money, nothing compared to a big boss like you, Mr. Jiang."

While keeping his eyes on the road and driving, Jia Guilin answered Jiang Tao's questions, not forgetting to offer a compliment as well.

"Hey, Mr. Jia, why don't you come work for our company and drive for me? I'll pay you 15,000 yuan a month."

Jiang Tao enjoys having a drink in his spare time, so he really needs a personal driver.

A monthly salary of 15,000 yuan is just a drop in the ocean for him, completely insignificant.

Of course, the "Designated Driver's Sacred Body" attribute that Jia Guilin possesses is what Jiang Tao values ​​most.

It's because of this attribute that he was given such a high salary.

Even in a top-tier metropolis like Beijing, hiring a driver for seven or eight yuan a month isn't difficult. The salary Jiang Tao offered Jia Guilin was almost equivalent to more than two months' wages for an average driver!
"The insurance company will also pay your social insurance and housing fund contributions according to the standards for our company's ordinary employees."

Jiang Tao is quite generous in his business dealings and in his treatment of his employees.

Recently, as he completed several special missions in succession, his physical indicators have increased.

The limit on his salary card has soared from the initial 1 yuan to the current 28 yuan!

In other words, 28 yuan of "exclusive salary" will be deposited into Jiang Tao's salary card every month.

Jiang Tao cannot use this money for his own consumption; he can only use it to purchase office supplies and equipment for the company, as well as to pay his employees' salaries!

Currently, Jiang's Food Factory only has a dozen or so employees, and the total monthly salary is less than 20 yuan.

My salary card has 28 yuan, and there's still over 8 yuan left unspent!
They paid Jia Guilin, the "holy body of designated drivers," a salary of over ten thousand yuan.

This was also the result of Jiang Tao's careful consideration.

When Jia Guilin heard the salary and benefits offered by Jiang Tao, he felt like he was dreaming.

He used to drive for a company executive, and he did so for 10 years!
Even so, his gross salary was only a little over 7000 yuan, less than 8000 yuan!

After deducting social insurance and housing fund contributions, my take-home pay is only four or five thousand yuan!
When the children were young, this income was barely enough.

When the child grows up and starts attending various tutoring classes...

His meager salary isn't even enough to pay for his child's tutoring classes.

There was no other way; it was all to earn more money to support my family.

He had no choice but to quit his original job and start working as a designated driver.

Other colleagues work a maximum of 12 hours a day, which is considered very hard work.

Jia Guilin wished he could work 16 hours a day.

Only 8 hours are allocated for eating and sleeping to ensure the body's basic needs are met.

As for spending time with my wife and kids, or with my family... where would I find the time for that!
Mortgage, car loan, children's tuition, tutoring classes, future college education, dating, getting married...

There are still many places where money will be needed in the future, so Jia Guilin dares not relax at all!
Nowadays, a higher-paying and relatively easier job seems like a windfall.

In his excitement, Jia Guilin was also somewhat incredulous, thinking he was hallucinating.

"Master Jia, there's no need to rush to reply. Think it over carefully when you get home tonight. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Jiang Tao was unaware of Jia Guilin's many thoughts and feelings, nor was he familiar with the wage levels in the chauffeur service industry.

He thought Jia Guilin was hesitant because he wasn't satisfied with the salary Jia Guilin offered.

"Mr. Jiang, what you just said about the salary and benefits, is it true?"

"To be honest, my highest level of education is junior high school; I didn't even finish high school."

Although Jia Guilin desperately wanted the offer from Jiang Tao.

However, he still honestly told Jiang Tao about some of his personal circumstances in advance.

"Haha, Master Jiang, you're overthinking it. The job of a driver is all about skills, not education."

Jiang Tao couldn't help but laugh after hearing Jia Guilin's self-disclosure of his "background information".

What he valued was Jia Guilin's "designated driver's body" constitution.

Let alone the fact that he only has a junior high school education, even if he only has a primary school education, or even if he is illiterate, it doesn't matter.

A good driver is one who can drive well.

"Well, thank you so much, Mr. Jiang, for this opportunity! Thank you so much!"

Jia Guilin knew in his heart that this opportunity was an extremely rare one in his life.

If you miss this chance, there may not be another one.

"You're welcome. It's settled then. Consider today Master Jia's first day at work."

"I'll have my assistant prepare a labor contract later, and you can go and sign it in a bit."

"Yes, Mr. Jiang! Please take care of me in the future!"

"Easy to say."

The two chatted as they drove, and Jiang Tao was very satisfied with Jia Guilin's professional driving skills.

Jia Guilin was very pleased with his new boss's generosity and approachability.

Soon, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class arrived at the entrance of Lao Li's Used Car Dealership near the South Third Ring Road.

Jia Guilin found an empty parking space at the gate and parked his car.

The two of them got out of the car together and walked towards the main entrance of the parking lot.

Upon arriving at the gate, Jiang Tao saw four outdoor live streamers broadcasting live from their phones mounted on tripods in the open-air parking lot.

The hosts all spoke very quickly, like beans pouring from a bamboo tube, their little mouths chattering non-stop.

"Brother Jiang! You've finally arrived! Please come in, please come in! I've been waiting for you so long the flowers have all withered!"

When Li Ming, who came out of the office next door, saw Jiang Tao, he also invited him to his office for a chat with a very eager expression.

Before returning to their hometown for the Qingming Festival, Jiang Tao and Li Ming reached a preliminary investment cooperation agreement.

Jiang Tao invested 600 million yuan in Lao Li Used Car Dealership, acquiring a 10% stake.

Furthermore, this 10% stake can only receive dividends and cannot interfere with the company's operating model.

Back in their hometown, Jiang Tao had already transferred the funds to Li Ming, and the two had signed an electronic contract online.

In fact, the cooperation between the two parties had already begun more than a week ago.

Jiang Tao came here simply to find out about the current situation at the parking lot.

After all, he invested 600 million yuan in the parking lot, and it wouldn't make sense for him not to come even once.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, you haven't chosen a suitable candidate yet?"

After chatting for a while inside, Li Ming smiled and asked Jiang Tao a question.

The two brothers had already agreed on this when they decided to cooperate.

After the cooperation begins, Jiang Tao will also send a specialist to be stationed at the parking lot to assist Li Ming with his daily work.

It's said that he's there to help with work, but to put it bluntly, he's just a "trusted confidant" that Jiang Tao placed here.

The same applies even when good friends go into business together.

It's best to be the gentleman first and the villain later, and to put everything out in the open.

After all, it's an investment of over 600 million.

Relying solely on friendships and camaraderie is too fragile.

These days, it's not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other because of business or money.

Not to mention friends like Jiang Tao and Li Ming who are not related by blood or marriage.

Therefore, there still needs to be some legal constraints.

Furthermore, it was Li Ming himself who suggested that Jiang Tao send someone to be stationed at the parking lot.

His upright and honest behavior further increased Jiang Tao's goodwill towards him.

I feel that he is a good friend, someone worth getting to know better.
