Lin Yuelan and twelve small came to the door of Jinyun Ge and saw the sign “shop closed for renovation” hanging on the door.
The waiter, Xiao Li, and Li Huaisheng were directing the renovation workers. When they saw Lin Yuelan, they immediately went up and called, “Miss Lin!”
Lin Yuelan nodded and stepped into the shop. He looked around and said, “Uncle Li, what's the progress now?”
Manager Li replied honestly, “It has reached 60%.”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Not bad!”
He knew that Lin Yuelan must have come there for some reason, so he made a hand gesture and told her, “Miss Lin, please come in.” It was uncomfortable to discuss matters outside, so they entered the inner room.
In the inner room, Xiao Li came out after serving tea to Lin Yuelan, the twelve minor, and Manager Li. He still needs to keep an eye on things outside.
Lin Yuelan also told the twelve little ones to leave. After all, they will talk about business. Although Lin Yuelan was not guarded against the twelve small and the others, she did not want Manager Lin to feel uncomfortable. The Little Twelve and the others knew about Lin Yuelan's business ventures, such as her cooperation with Jinyun Ge and Yuelai Inn. Lin Yuelan would develop even further. He also did not want them to know too much. Their identity may be a problem because of it.
After the twelve small and Xiao Li left, Manager Li immediately reported respectfully, “Bos, we have invited three sewing masters and three embroidery ladies. We have also received a new batch of high quality fabrics!”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Uncle Li, you did well!” Lin Yuelan took out a few pieces of white paper from her backpack. She opened it, and it was a clothing design.
He handed it to Manager Li. “Uncle Li, these are the clothes I designed. There are men's and women's clothing. Ask the tailor and embroider to make it first. ”
Manager Li took a picture of Lin Yuelan and was astonished. He had never seen such a clothing design before. Necklines, patterns, and more are all unique and beautiful.
Manager Li's hand trembled as he held onto the design. She held it carefully and nervously as if she was afraid they would disappear if she was not careful.
Manager Li's joy was self-evident. He asked in an intense voice, “Nona Lin, may I ask which master designed this?”
Lin Yuelan looked at Manager Li with a faint smile and asked, “Uncle Li, what do you think?”
Manager Li understood everything.
Lin Yuelan was the designer.
Manager Li suddenly felt touched. He could see the return of Jinyun Ge's glory because he now had an extremely intelligent, talented, and capable master.
Manager Li felt that selling Jinyun Ge to Lin Yuelan was the right choice.
Manager Li wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and shouted excitedly, “Good, good, this is great!”
After which, he carefully put away his design and placed it in the brocade box.
Lin Yuelan suddenly asked, “How are the characters from the three tailors and three embroideries?”
When he recruited people, the first consideration was their character, followed by skill!
Manager Li immediately understood Lin Yuelan's intentions. Lin Yuelan wanted to know if these people would betray Jinyun Ge. After all, tailors and embroiders will see the design in public. If they stole the design and sold it to someone else, it would be a big deal.
“Bos, don't worry. These three seamstresses and three embroideries did not give up even if they were threatened by Xiangyun Ge. Moreover they are very mute.”
These six people were single, and without burden, so they could not be threatened by Xiangyun Ge.
Lin Yuelan trusted Manager Li, so she did not plan to meet with the three seamstresses and the three embroideries.
If these people did a good job, had good character, and were honest, Jinyun Ge would take good care of them.
Lin Yuelan said, “Uncle Li, tell them that as long as they work for Jinyun Ge wholeheartedly, please, Jinyun Ge will give them a normal salary and arrange for them to enjoy a good retirement after they turn 55. But..”
Then, Lin Yuelan said firmly, “If they betray Jinyun Ge, I doubt they will retire peacefully. In fact, they might end up in a more miserable state. I would advise them not to try it. I don't think they want to see the results.”
Lin Yuelan would always give a stern warning first to deter people with ill intentions. It would be too late to give a warning after the fact. Lin Yuelan chose the age of 55 because it was the average lifespan of people in that era. People who live to age 70 are extremely rare. Therefore, Lin Yuelan wanted to arrange the retirement of her employees around 55.
When Manager Li that Lin Yuelan was about to offer her retirement care, she was shocked. This benefit is unheard of!
From what he heard, Lin Yuelan would pay employees pensions after they retired. Is he right?
However, these benefits are too good to sound unreal. Many elders had to go out to work in their twilight years because no one cared for them.
This will solve that problem.
Once Jinyun Ge released this benefit, many people would rush to work here. However, Manager Li still had some concerns. “Bos, isn't this too heavy a burden?” Could Jinyun Ge be able to handle so many retirees?
Lin Yuelan said seriously, “Uncle Li, believe me. It won't be a burden!” As for why, Lin Yuelan did not explain much.
Lin Yuelan borrowed a modern employee management model, which calculates the number of pensions of each employee and the pension system based on their qualifications, age, and contribution points.
The reason why Manager Li was worried was because he was only thinking about Jinyun Ge's current business situation, and did not anticipate Jinyun Ge's future prospects. Anyway, it's not his fault. He's not from the future anyway.
Lin Yuelan's goal was to expand the business around the world and dominate the fashion market.
Lin Yuelan knew that once she saved Jiang Zhennan and his people, her life in the future would not be at peace. Therefore, he had to become stronger before the matter arrived. Then, he would have some support in the future.
“Also, Uncle Li, all the workers of Jinyun Ge should start working at 07:45 every day until 17:35. They will get two hours for a break in the middle, and they will have two days of rest each week. Their salary will be paid as usual.” Lin Yuelan said.
Manager Li was a little confused. “Bos, can we maintain a working schedule like this? I doubt any work will be completed. ” In this era, basically, everyone works more than twelve hours a day. They won't even have a break in the middle to eat.
The work schedule created by Lin Yuelan was unheard of before. They only need to work eight hours a day. Most importantly, they have two days off for every five days they work. It is a dream for workers. It was a nightmare for the bosses.
Lin Yuelan smiled. “This work schedule will provide the best working conditions. This is much more efficient than forcing workers to work more than 12 hours a day. Uncle Li, if you don't believe it, you can try his schedule first. What say?”
People in this era might not understand this arrangement, but Lin Yuelan's arrangement was based on a scientific basis.
Manager Li decided to do the test first. Manager Li asked, “Bos, why do you give them two days of rest each week? If they work only eight hours per day, they should have had enough rest.”
Lin Yuelan said, “Someone had limited energy before they were exhausted. When a person is exhausted, his work is much less efficient. Therefore, it was better for the workers to rest than to force them to work non-stop. One day to relax and one day to adjust their state of mind. Therefore, it takes two days break.”
After hearing Lin Yuelan's explanation, although manager Li was still hesitant, he believed that his boss had his own reasons.
Manager Li nodded and replied, “Alright, I understand, boss!” Then, he repeated, “Jinyun Ge workers will work for eight hours a day. After every five days, they would rest for two days. According to their experience, service, and contribution points, they will be granted a pension after they retire!” This was the working system Lin Yuelan had set up. He wanted to confirm it with Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Yes, uncle Li. This is the system we will use. However, the most important criterion is that our employees must have good character. If they have bad character, no matter how capable they are, they should be rejected. Understood?”
“Iya Boss!” Manager Li replied respectfully.
After they finished talking about work, Lin Yuelan asked about the condition of manager Li's wife.
“Uncle Li, does Madam feel better?”
At the mention of his ailing wife, Manager Li's face was a little sad, and his expression was a little worried and helpless. However, it was much better than the despair that Lin Yuelan saw last time.
He smiled wryly and said, “Thank you for your concern, Miss Lin. Doctor Zhang came to check last time and prescribed him the medicine. She feels better now.”
Dementia is difficult to treat even in modern times. In ancient times, medical equipment was so lacking that it was impossible to cure it.
However, the condition of Mrs. Li is indeed much better than before. Lin Yuelan had only been studying medicine from Doctor Zhang for a few days, so she was not good at it. Therefore, she had not planned to take care of Madam Li….
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “As long as he improves. I believe that Mrs Li will recover soon!”
He felt that Lin Yuelan was his lucky star, so why did everyone call him a curse? They said that those who met him would experience a disaster. However, after Manager Li met Lin Yuelan, things went better. Jinyun Ge began to recover, and his wife's condition also recovered.
Who said shit about his boss carrying a curse?
Lin Yuelan had no idea what Manager Li was thinking. He left after he discussed everything with Manager Li.
Twelve small stands outside, with curiosity seeing the newly renovated store 60%. However, even this 60% made him extremely excited.
He had never seen such a bright and new shop model before. The painted white walls, the golden beam roof, and the high and low counters were all very new to him.
He pulled Xiao Li and asked in a low voice, “Did Miss Lin design all of this?”
Xiao Li also replied in a low voice, “Ya, these are all personally designed by miss Lin!”
The twelve little ones nodded, but he muttered in his heart, ‘Is Miss Lin really a demon? Otherwise, how could he know everything?’
Well, to be fair, Lin Yuelan had knowledge of the modern world, so she did not know everything. The remodeling model for Jinyun Ge was based on a modern clothing store in her mind.
In fact, before the apocalypse, he was just an ordinary person. However, compared to the ancient people, he had a thousand-year-old culture stored in his mind. That makes it stand out.
When Lin Yuelan came out, she saw twelve little ones standing there in a daze. He walked over and patted his arm, asking with a smile, “Twelve little brothers, what are you thinking? Is that love? That's normal at your age.”
Twelve little blushes and stutters, “Nona ... Miss Lin, don't talk nonsense!
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Alright, alright, I will stop. Come by. We will go and buy some daily necessities. ” After all, there are a lot of people living with him now. Everything was used so quickly.
Lin Yuelan and the twelve little ones left Jinyun Ge and ran to the medicine shop. Lin Yuelan got 100 taels of silver in advance from Liu Qi. He used half of it to buy a cow. Later, he used more to buy fields and develop new lands. Therefore, Lin Yuelan became a poor person who had no money anymore.
Fortunately, he had picked some medicinal herbs in the mountains, and some medicinal plants in his space could already be harvested. He'll sell it.
They arrived at the Lin family medicine shop.
The attendant saw Lin Yuelan and immediately greeted her, “Nona Lin!”
Lin Yuelan had brought a tiger to sell here before, so naturally, she remembered it.
Lin Yuelan nodded. Then, he lifted his head and asked, “I'm here to sell medicinal herbs. Is Manager Lin here?”
The clerk immediately asked curiously, “Nona Lin, what herbs do you want to sell? Do you mind showing it to me first? ”
Lin Yuelan did not hesitate. He jumped onto the bench, stood on it, and opened his backpack. Then, he took out a paper bag.
After which, he slowly opened the paper bag. The servant's forehead was wrinkled.
“Yes Gods!” The officer was surprised. “Miss Lin, this is ginseng. You really ... actually wrap it in paper! You wasted an incredible gift! ” As he said that, his expression was one of heartache.
Lin Yuelan's mouth twitched, and she said in surprise, “Brother, is this really ginseng?”
The officer's mouth was wide open. “Of course. Miss Lin, how could you not recognize ginseng? Didn't you often go up the mountain?”
Lin Yuelan said, “That doesn't mean I know everything on the mountain. This is also my first time seeing ginseng.”
The waiter was curious. “If you don't know ginseng, how do you get this, and why did you know come here to sell it?”
Lin Yuelan shrugged, “When I went up the mountain, I saw the blooming grass and thought it was very beautiful, so I wanted to plant it at home. But as I dug it up, I noticed that the roots looked like carrots, and there were a lot of beards. I remember adults telling me what ginseng was like.
“But I'm not sure if this is ginseng. I dare not show it to others either. So I packed it right away and came here to confirm it. ”
Lin Yuelan was also good at lying. Of course, he knew ginseng, and this was the one that he had harvested from his place.
He asked, “Brother, since this is ginseng, can you see how old it is? I hear it's getting older, getting more expensive, right? ”
He was very curious, very naive, and very innocent!
The waiter coughed and said shyly, “Nona, I'm not expert enough to know your ginseng's age. I'll get the shopkeeper. ”
Lin Yuelan nodded.
After the waiter entered, a customer who seemed to be buying medicine on the side walked to the side and said sadly, “Nona, my wife was bleeding heavily during labor and was in desperate need of ginseng. Miss, can you be kind and sell this ginseng to me?”
Lin Yuelan judged this man. He looked like a scholar, but the greed in his eyes revealed his lies.
Unfortunately for him, Lin Yuelan felt like having fun. He nodded and replied, “Uncle, of course. How much will you pay for this ginseng?” Lin Yuelan asked.
The scholar's face immediately sparkled happily. However, after a while, he sighed with a worried expression. “Nona, I am very poor. I might not be able to afford this ginseng. Forget, forget!” Internally, though, he was happy.
He only tested the water to see if he could get this ginseng for free or at a cheap price. Then, he would turn around and sell them at a high price.
He had not expected Lin Yuelan to be so gullible. He only said a few words, and he was already in love with her. Therefore, he continued his acting.
In his mind, Lin Yuelan would say, “If you really need this ginseng to save your wife's life, then I'll give it to you for free.”
But the scholar never thought that …
Lin Yuelan replied dejectedly, “Alright then. Since you have no money, we can forget about it.” Lin Yuelan then rolled her eyes in secret. ‘Do you think I'm a three-year-old?’
When the scholar heard Lin Yuelan, he felt like vomiting blood. He did not expect Lin Yuelan to stray from his script.
“But, Mom, I really need this ginseng to save my wife's life!” The scholar's words were helpless, and his expression was sad. It was as if his wife was really going to die at the next moment.
Lin Yuelan pursed her lips. But he still plays together. He held his chin with both hands and said sympathetically, “Uncle, I feel very sad for you. Your wife is going to die because you don't have the money to save her. That's so sad!”
When the scholar heard this, he choked!
Lin Yuelan did not fall in love with his actions. And he even said such cold-blooded words.
However, the cleric still did not give up. He gritted his teeth. He looked at Lin Yuelan and said pitifully, “Nona, I only have 500 copper coins. Can you show mercy and show this ginseng to it? My wife needs this to save her life.”
Lin Yuelan chuckled and thought, “Uncle, you are cute. You said you didn't have any money, but now you suddenly have 500 copper coins? Do you really think I'm that stupid?
“You will buy this ginseng at a low price and then sell it for a profit. I doubt you even have a wife. If you want to deceive people, you better improve your acting skills! I can see the greed in your eyes very clearly.”
Lin Yuelan said cynically.
This caused the scholar's face to become red and white.
The trick he tried so many times had actually failed. In fact, he was insulted.
The scholar immediately became angry from the humiliation and roared at Lin Yuelan, “Are you not sympathetic? It's okay if you don't sympathize with me, but how can you humiliate me? You've really gone too far.” He had clearly forgotten that he wanted to deceive Lin Yuelan first.
Lin Yuelan shrugged her shoulders. “Well, if you want to know, I am a curse born without sympathy!”
The scholar was so angry that he wanted to go forward and grab Lin Yuelan.
At this moment, an angry shout came from within. “Chen Jiu, are you cheating my customers again?”
