NOVPUBWu Bin had been a person of two lifetimes, so these management skills were experience accumulated from his past life, and there was of course no so-called training class.
Wu Bin smiled and patted Song Bing’s shoulder, saying, "You’ll naturally get the hang of it after you’ve experienced this kind of thing more often. For now, we better hurry to the meeting room."
Half an hour later.
When Wu Bin arrived at the meeting room with Song Bing, he realized that there were already over thirty people gathered there.
Wu Bin thought it over and found it perfectly reasonable.
If their family conditions weren’t poor, why would these people have chosen to study at the agricultural university?
After all, graduating from an agricultural university, one’s career options were either to become involved in scientific research or to serve as agricultural guidance at a local level.
Either option could only be considered drought and flood-proof careers, which were almost totally unrelated to making money, the main point being stability.
Seeing Wu Bin enter, Lin Nan took the initiative to greet him and handed over a list.
"This is the list of attendees, I’ve written their positions on the back."
After taking a look, Wu Bin told Lin Nan, "Act as my executive secretary for now, please re-enter this list, and the positions need to be adjusted as well."
Wu Bin had seriously thought this over on his way here.
He must reorganize the entire company’s positional structure, to ensure people who have more time to work are placed in higher positions.
That’s the principle of the capable undertaking more work.
Especially in the initial stages of the company, many tasks need to be advanced and dealt with immediately.
Business is like a battlefield, and business opportunities are fleeting.
If you wait to go home for a holiday or something, the chance to make money would have already slipped away.
Lin Nan immediately opened her laptop. Each name Wu Bin mentioned, she entered into the computer and made the position adjustments simultaneously.
Soon, all these thirty-odd people were assigned new positions, and Wu Bin handed out a new stack of work badges to each of them.
"Starting today, you are all members of the Bluebird Company’s special action team, codenamed Golden Phoenix."
"As pillars of our company, I hope you all strive for excellence in both work and life, and forge ahead!"
"Also, I will personally control all performance evaluations for the Golden Phoenixes. Anyone whose performance or attendance is unsatisfactory will still be let go, so I hope everyone takes their work seriously."
After distributing the new work badges, Wu Bin began to assign tasks.
The people present in this meeting room were originally prepared to work and study due to their extreme need for money.
Therefore, eager to earn remunerations and wages from Wu Bin, they immediately went out to work as soon as he issued his tasks.
Seeing so many people following only Wu Bin’s commands, Song Bing felt a surge of envy standing on the side.
Isn’t this what a man should be like?
Whatever he does, it commands a response from everyone.
After Wu Bin had sent everyone out, he then said to Lin Nan, "Let’s go, our task today is to communicate with the merchants; we can’t delay this matter."
Just as Wu Bin and Lin Nan were about to step out the door, they ran into Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling, rubbing her eyes and looking sleepy, said to Wu Bin, "Brother, hungry."
Wu Bin could only laugh and cry.
Zhu Ling really seemed different from the other members of the Dragon Clan.
After their revival, other members of the Dragon Clan would try by all means to regain their strength, showing various forms of disdain and scorn for the human race.
But Zhu Ling was very adaptable, seemingly unworried about her situation, and was primarily concerned about eating every day.
Wu Bin patted Zhu Ling’s head and said to her, "Don’t worry, I will take you to eat right now."
In the agricultural college, all dining and grocery establishments were connected.
Therefore, out of respect for the principal, Xu Wenyao, it was easy for Wu Bin to negotiate business partnerships, and everyone was willing to give Wu Bin face.
There was no helping it; after all, who would say Wu Bin wasn’t the poster child of the crispy college students, being their college’s mascot.
But when Wu Bin left the school grounds to talk business with the neighboring shop owners, things didn’t progress as smoothly.
The owner of the spicy hot pot restaurant, Zhou Ting, glanced at the proposal Wu Bin had drafted, his eyes instantly filling with disdain.
"To cooperate with your website, not only do I have to provide order service, but also pay thirty thousand yuan, and then you take a 10% commission from each order?"
"Young man, do you think I’m a fool?"
"Get out quickly. Don’t think I’ll be polite just because you are a college student. If you don’t leave, believe it or not, I’ll call the police to arrest you?"
Zhou Ting had directly pegged Wu Bin as a scammer.
Nowadays, many young people, posing as college students talking about entrepreneurship, would start selling so-called new products or, like Wu Bin, present supposed partnership proposals, to swindle money.
Wu Bin hastily explained, "Boss Zhou, we’re not scammers. My name is Wu Bin, and I’m quite famous online. Here, this is my live streaming channel, and currently, more than a million people are watching."
Zhou Ting scoffed, "I don’t care what your name is. I’m not interested in this partnership you’re proposing. Get out of here now!"
Zhou Ting had a fiery temper, and Wu Bin was chased out before he even had a chance to explain himself further.
Song Bing, standing aside, looked towards Wu Bin.
"What do we do, Old Wu? I told you this plan wouldn’t work."
"These shop owners won’t act until they see a benefit, and you’re asking them right away to pay thirty thousand yuan. They definitely think you’re scamming them."
Lin Nan also thought that Wu Bin’s business model was problematic.
"Boss, why don’t we incorporate the thirty thousand yuan cost into our commission instead? We could increase the commission rate a bit, which might increase our chances of success."
Lin Nan truly was a business school graduate.
The method she proposed would indeed lower the barrier to negotiating partnerships, and they wouldn’t incur any losses themselves. In fact, they could even earn more.
But Wu Bin still shook his head and refused.
Wu Bin explained, "The reason I insisted they pay these thirty thousand yuan is actually to make them have some sunk cost involved."
"Only if they pay this thirty thousand yuan will they take our following collaboration more seriously, which would make everything we do afterwards run smoother."
"If we don’t make them pay anything upfront, after we’ve done a bunch of work for them, they might very well slack off or refuse to cooperate with us, and then the risk and loss would have to be borne by us."
Upon hearing Wu Bin’s explanation, Lin Nan had an epiphany.
Indeed, this was something Lin Nan hadn’t considered before.
Wu Bin looked across at another spicy hot pot restaurant.
"Let’s go, let’s try this place."
