254: Chapter 243: Poaching 254: Chapter 243: Poaching Song Yun bade farewell to his brothers from the Shura Alliance and drove to the mobile service center.
The place was packed, as most people were there for the 5G services.
Song Yun found a less crowded counter, but still got squeezed out by others.
Feeling both hurried and frustrated, Song Yun thought, “Don’t you all mind being squeezed together in this heat?
It’s not like today’s the only day you can get this service done; it’s available every day.” Watching everyone sweaty and eager to push through to the front, he sighed helplessly.
It seemed that the quality of the citizens still needed improvement.
It’s not about praising other countries, but in foreign places, people line up and seldom cut in line, which greatly improves efficiency.
No one gets upset, and everyone benefits.
Why can’t our people learn from this?
Song Yun decided to sit on a bench in the service center and wait for the crowd to thin out.
Meanwhile, he was happily texting Li Shishi.
Just then, a young lady from the service center approached him with a smile and said, “May I know what services you need?”
“I heard about the new 5G and came to check it out,” said Song Yun, glancing at her and noting her natural, clear-faced beauty that could score a solid seven.
“Could you explain the benefits of 5G to me?”
“5G, well, how do I put this?” The young lady blushed as she explained, “Well, with 2G you could text, with 3G view jpg images, with 4G watch avi videos, but with 5G, if you have VR, you can connect anytime without lag and watch complete holographic 3D animations.”
“I don’t really get what you’re saying, just get me a 5G sim card,” replied Song Yun, visibly excited.
“You’ll have to go to the service window for that,” she said with a shy smile.
“Right now, it’s pretty crowded, but if you wait about ten more minutes, it should thin out.”
“No way, I’ve already been waiting here for over ten minutes,” said Song Yun.
“It’s two-ten now.
Most of the people here are office workers, and they generally need to be back at work by two-thirty or they’ll get their wages docked,” she explained.
“They wouldn’t risk their salary for a 5G, so around two-twenty, people will start leaving.”
Impressed by her insight and focus, Song Yun grew more interested in her.
He thought to himself that she was a real talent.
Though still a bit naive, with a few years of experience, she could be a hot commodity for any major company.
After all, in the 21st century, the most valuable assets are resources and talent.
The Middle East, for instance, is renowned solely based on its oil.
Talent, meanwhile, can make or break a company.
A company teeming with it will undoubtedly succeed.
Putting his phone away, Song Yun smiled and asked, “May I know where you graduated from?
Your understanding of things is really sharp.”
“I’m a student in the management department at Sunnan University, just working part-time here,” she replied shyly.
“Haha, how much do they pay you per month here?” Song Yun asked straightforwardly.
“Not much, just 1800 yuan a month, but I work three part-time jobs, so I make about 4000 yuan a month,” she said with a smile.
“Working part-time is also a way for me to get a taste of society to avoid being clueless after graduation.”
“What you said is true,” responded Song Yun shamelessly.
“Water flows downwards, people strive upwards.
I have a job offer for you; the wage is negotiable, and it’s close to Sunnan University, so it won’t interfere with your studies.”
“What job?” Su Shan leaned in and asked.
“Managing a bar.
You’re studying management, which includes managing business affairs, and a bar is similar,” Song Yun explained with a smile.
“Right now, I really need someone like you.
I believe that if you manage the bar, it could become the most famous in Sunan City.”
“A bar?” Su Shan hesitated, biting her lower lip.
She hadn’t even been to a nightclub before, and to her, a bar seemed like a place where hoodlums vented and shady characters hit on you, not to mention a terrible environment.
“Yes, but rest assured, our bar is very reputable, with no unethical dealings, and nothing happens there against anyone’s will,” maturely explained Song Yun, making sure not to oversell the perks blindly, as it could make him appear ulterior.
“How much per month then?” Su Shan asked firmly.
“How much would you want?” Song Yun grinned.
“The salary is negotiable, so just throw out your price.”
“Three thousand a month?” Su Shan asked cautiously, knowing she’s still a student and that this was already a high figure.
“Three thousand?” Song Yun exclaimed, in the bars under Shura Alliance alone, a simple waiter earned four to five thousand a month with commissions and benefits, not to mention a manager.
“Then two thousand five hundred, I can’t go any lower,” Su Shan quickly lowered her price, thinking it might be too high.
“Heh,” Song Yun shook his head and bitterly smiled.
“For the first three months of internship, I’ll give you five thousand a month, and after your internship, eight thousand per month as a base salary, not including any bar benefits or bonuses.
If you can increase the bar’s turnover, your commission will increase as well.”
“Five…
five thousand?” Su Shan almost fainted.
This job alone matched the income of her current three part-time jobs and even exceeded the total.
“Isn’t that a bit much?
I’m still just a student.”
“I mentioned before that I need talent,” Song Yun insisted.
“Work well, and there will be more opportunities and resources for you.
Taking one of my bars for example, the manager earns an average monthly salary of twenty to thirty thousand, and that’s before the five percent share in earnings.
Annually, they can easily make five to six hundred thousand.”
