Chapter 13: Not the good ones, just the expensive ones

"I'm not joking, Yang Ge, you have twenty years of experience driving heavy-duty trucks, you're completely worth this price."

Chen Mo said seriously, but seeing Yang Dahai's expression full of doubt, he knew the price he offered was a bit exaggerated in Yang Dahai's perception.

After thinking for a moment, he continued speaking.

"This is my company's address, you can consider it. If you want to join, you can go to the company tomorrow to sign the contract and complete the onboarding procedures."

Saying this, he handed the note with the company's address to Yang Dahai, then turned and left.

This was all he could do. As for whether Yang Dahai believed him or not, that was not something he could decide.

Sometimes opportunities are placed right in front of you, but you don't even have the courage to try, then you can't blame anyone else.

After leaving, he found a restaurant for lunch. Thinking he didn't know what to do at the company anyway, he went straight home.

As soon as he got home, he received a call from Wei Yan.

He answered and heard Wei Yan's questioning voice.

"President Chen, I'd like to ask, what price range should the office desks and chairs be? What's the approximate budget?"

"Expensive ones."

Chen Mo said directly without even thinking.

He was just worrying about how to spend the System's funds, so naturally, the more expensive, the better.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then he spoke.

"President Chen, here's a price list from them. I'll send it to you on WeChat, you should take a look."

After speaking,

Chen Mo received a WeChat message, which was the price list sent by Wei Yan.

He clicked to open and took a look.

It was prices for various office supplies and different categories.

He took a quick glance,

and found that the most expensive office desk surprisingly cost 4999, while there were two options for chairs: one is a leather chair, and the other is a gaming chair, with the most expensive prices both over 2000.

Of course, this was just the price for standard office chairs. If they were custom-made office chairs, the prices could be tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand.

But this was outside the System's allowed range.

Chen Mo thought for a moment,

and finally chose the 4999 office desk and the 2399 gaming chair.

After all, office work requires sitting for long periods, so a gaming chair would definitely be more comfortable.

This way, the price for one set of desk and chair was 7398. Currently, only he, Wei Yan, and one clerk needed them. Calculated this way, only three sets were needed, which meant spending less than twenty thousand.

No way,

that's too little.

We can hire another clerk, and in the future, we'll definitely need positions like finance, accounting, human resources, and Assistant, all of which require office desks and chairs.

Oh right, we can also add two more salespeople, which adds another two sets.

The workshop also needs a workshop director and a factory manager, two positions that require offices and office chairs.

Calculated this way, at least twelve sets of office chairs are needed.

Which means a cost of 88776 yuan.

Hmm,

I should buy one more set as a spare, making it 96174 yuan.

Not bad, just the office desks and chairs cost nearly a hundred thousand yuan.

Having made a decision, he called Wei Yan again and explained his idea.

"President Chen, isn't this expenditure a bit wasteful? Actually, there's no need to buy such expensive office desks and chairs, and aren't we buying too many?"

On the phone, Wei Yan spoke up to dissuade him.

He really couldn't understand why President Chen would buy such expensive office desks and chairs. He thought those around a thousand yuan were also quite good.

"Xiao Wei, you need to look at the long term. The company's future development will definitely get better and better, and the company's personnel configuration will definitely become more complete. These office desks and chairs will all be used."

"Moreover, comfortable office chairs can also give employees a good working mood. A good mood can also effectively improve work efficiency. This is a perfect virtuous cycle."

Chen Mo said solemnly.

"This,….."

Wei Yan was speechless. For a moment, he somewhat agreed with President Chen's theory, but he also felt something was off.

"Alright, just buy them as I said."

Chen Mo heard that Wei Yan still intended to dissuade him, so he directly finalized the decision.

Just as he was about to hang up, he heard Wei Yan speak again.

"Wait a moment, President Chen, there's one more thing."

"The salesperson here said that if we buy enough quantity, they will give a 5% discount, but it requires the company's….."

Before Wei Yan could finish, Chen Mo directly interrupted him.

"No need for a discount, buying at the original price is fine."

"President Chen, according to the salesperson's calculation, the 5% discount can save over four thousand."

"No need, the salesperson is also working hard, let her earn a bit more. We can't just consider our own interests without considering others."

"Remember, no buying with a discount."

Chen Mo casually found an excuse, emphasized it one last time, and then directly hung up the phone.

Lying exhausted on the sofa,

This Wei Yan is just too worrying. He is trying his best to spend a little more money, but this guy is good, always thinking about saving money.

Downtown,

Inside a desk and chair specialty store.

Wei Yan pointed at the most expensive office desk and gaming chair and said to the salesperson.

"We'll take twelve sets of these two items."

"Okay, Boss."

When the salesperson heard they wanted twelve sets and the two most expensive items, she instantly became energetic and said enthusiastically.

"Boss, this quantity is already eligible for a 5% discount. I'll issue the invoice for you now."

"Wait a moment."

Wei Yan quickly stopped the salesperson who was about to issue the invoice.

"Boss, is there any other issue?"

The salesperson looked at Wei Yan somewhat nervously.

Wei Yan hesitated for a moment, then finally said with a stiff upper lip.

"There's no need for that 5% discount. Just issue the invoice at the original price."

"Boss, for this discount, you just need to open a membership under the company's name. Don't worry, opening a membership doesn't cost anything, and you'll also enjoy a 5% discount on future purchases of desks and chairs. If the accumulated amount reaches a certain level, you'll also enjoy higher discount policies."

While breathing a sigh of relief, the salesperson patiently explained.

"No need, just issue the invoice at the original price."

Wei Yan waved his hand, feeling the salesperson's strange gaze, and became a bit uncomfortable.

"Alright!"

The salesperson reluctantly replied, but couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

This person is so strange. They could clearly get a discount but insist on not taking it. Are wealthy people playing like this now?

After a while,

The salesperson returned with an invoice.

"Boss, the invoice has been prepared. The desks and chairs will be delivered to the company tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Wei Yan nodded, took the invoice, and went directly to the cashier to pay.

…………

Old City Community,

Yang Dahai also returned home with his daughter after school.

Dong Hong came out carrying the cooked meal.

"You're back, go wash your hands and then eat."

"Time to eat."

His daughter, Yang Duoduo, happily ran to the bathroom.

After eating,

Yang Duoduo went into the bedroom to start her homework.

In the living room,

Dong Hong looked at the silent Yang Dahai and asked.

"How was it? Were there any suitable jobs at today's job fair?"
