My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 228: Chapter 178: Chen Xiao’s Visit

Jin Wuxian was stunned for a moment. "Aren’t you being a little full of yourself?"

Chen Xiao was curious. "What’s it called?"

"Young Lad, Charge!"

"That’s perfect. President Chen leading the ’young lad’ to charge!"

"What the hell? Are you trying to turn the tables on me? I’m President Jin, and you’re just a salesman!"

"Please, call me the greatest salesman of the century!"

"Damn it, I can’t talk to you anymore. You’re pissing me off!"

Jin Wuxian hung up.

Chen Xiao chuckled. He had a pretty good impression of Jin Wuxian. At least he didn’t have the arrogance of a second-generation heir.

The Brabus G900 followed the GPS and slowly pulled up to the entrance of the Yino Jiangzhou Branch.

Chen Xiao immediately spotted Liu Haoran standing outside the main gate.

The wind was strong today. It was December, and the temperature was already hovering around 0 degrees Celsius. He was flamboyantly dressed in an overcoat with suit lapels, shivering in the biting wind.

Seeing such an imposing vehicle, he guessed that President Chen had arrived.

Although he recalled Chen Xiao driving a Mercedes-Benz CLS, it was perfectly normal for someone of President Chen’s wealth to own several cars. Besides, among all the people he knew, only President Chen could possibly own a car this incredible.

Liu Haoran had been standing here for half an hour. Because of the call from Jin Wuxian, Chen Xiao had driven more slowly and was a bit delayed.

A security guard stood by his side, looking miserable. Normally, they would be in the guardhouse, but with the regional president standing outside, they couldn’t very well stay indoors.

As Chen Xiao’s car reached the gate, Liu Haoran guided him in. He had arranged for the security guards to open the main gate well in advance.

The guards watched as the imposing, boxy vehicle with a Mercedes-Benz logo drove into the parking area. They even saw Liu Haoran step forward to open the car door for him.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a thing since they started working here. They knew instantly that today’s guest was no ordinary person.

Chen Xiao got out of the car and said, "President Haoran, no need to be so formal. I’m just here to look around and see the place."

Liu Haoran said cautiously, "It’s my pleasure. Shall I take you to my office for some tea?"

Chen Xiao nodded. Unlike Zhang Shijie, he had no interest in touring the office area.

"Has all the Sa Mo merchandise arrived?" Chen Xiao asked as they walked.

"It’s all in the warehouse. The limited-edition Chanel collaboration for the new store’s grand opening has also arrived. Would you like to see it?"

He waved his hand dismissively. ’It’s just a collaboration piece. I don’t even care about authentic Chanel, let alone this.’

Liu Haoran immediately realized he had misspoken. ’For people with the net worth of President Chen and President Zhao, buying authentic Chanel is probably like me buying fast fashion!’

"We need to kick off this grand opening with a bang and build some momentum. Back when Four Seasons Clothing was managing Sa Mo, what was their highest single-day sales figure?"

"200,000 a day!" Liu Haoran wiped away a bead of sweat, thankful he had done his homework beforehand.

’These big bosses always say they’re just dropping by, but sometimes they’ll hit you with a random question. If you can’t answer, your stock drops in an instant!’

"Mm, Ganglong International and Junxiao Square have both run advance promotions and issued subsidized coupons for the event. What do you think the first day’s sales will be?"

Liu Haoran said, "I discussed it with Xu Jia. Our goal is one million in three days."

"Does that include the limited-edition release?" Chen Xiao stopped and asked.

Liu Haoran quickly replied, "The limited-edition release isn’t included. That’s just for the regular items!"

Only then did Chen Xiao nod. The limited-edition items had already been fully reserved online. Each store had 100 units, but tens of thousands of people had entered the online lottery for a chance to buy them.

’Including those in the sales figures would be cheating.’

"Right, have Ganglong International and Junxiao Square simultaneously release sales reports to the public. Release one each day, and then another one with the three-day total."

"Understood, President Chen!" Liu Haoran replied solemnly.

Chen Xiao patted his shoulder. "Don’t be so tense."

The scene was somewhat comical: a young man in his twenties patting the shoulder of a middle-aged man in his forties, while the older man bent his waist slightly, looking both flattered and overwhelmed.

The two entered the office area. The office was dead silent.

HR had instructed everyone beforehand that President Liu was expecting a VIP and that they must ensure the office was clean and orderly.

Following Liu Haoran to his office, Chen Xiao didn’t stand on ceremony and plopped right down on the sofa.

Liu Haoran didn’t even dare to sit in the host’s seat, instead taking the single armchair opposite it.

"President Haoran, what’s your current monthly salary?"

Salary is personal and private, and one wouldn’t normally ask. But it was fine for Chen Xiao to ask. He was the boss, after all, just showing concern for a subordinate.

Liu Haoran replied, "My monthly salary is 40,000, plus a year-end bonus."

Chen Xiao shook his head. "That’s a bit low. You’ve taken on the important responsibility for ’Sa Mo’ and ’Ledi,’ so your compensation should match."

Liu Haoran was overjoyed. ’He feels incredibly favored that the boss would show such personal concern.’

"President Chen, it’s not time for the annual salary review yet. There should be a modest increase then."

The Yino Group conducted its annual salary reviews in March and September. Headquarters would set a percentage for the increase.

The total of all employees’ monthly salaries would be multiplied by this percentage, and the resulting figure was the total amount available for monthly salary increases that year.

How much of a raise each individual received was then entirely up to the regional president to distribute.

In previous years, Liu Haoran had usually given himself a raise of a few thousand yuan. If he took any more, his subordinates would only get raises of a few hundred yuan each.

"Special circumstances call for special measures. I’ll have a word with Zhang Shijie."

Right there in front of Liu Haoran, Chen Xiao sent a voice message to Zhang Shijie. The gist of it was that the Yino Jiangzhou Branch was responsible for the pilot program for the Sa Mo brand’s direct-to-consumer operations and the Ledi brand’s agency business.

Its success or failure would directly determine the Group’s strategic direction, so Liu Haoran’s responsibility was immense.

Under these circumstances, the Group should set high KPI targets on the one hand, but on the other, it must also provide matching compensation. You can’t expect a horse to run if you don’t feed it.
