908 Setting the Rules

"There's no reason for us not to want to get rich together with you! You don't have to ask. We'll definitely follow you!" Xiao Zhu said excitedly.

Xiao Zhu was closest to Zhao Fei among them. Usually, Zhao Fei would think of him first whenever there was anything nice. When Zhao Fei was young, he had always followed Xiao Zhu around to play and Xiao Zhu had always taken good care of him. Now that he was doing well, he also wanted to take good care of Xiao Zhu.

It was just that these people did not have any proper jobs. Even when they found jobs, the work would be very tiring, where they had to do manual labor and yet did not get paid much. Some of the guys were also immature when they were young and went around stealing and robbing when they did not make enough money to support themselves. After they were arrested, they ended up with criminal records, so many places were unwilling to hire them.

"I have a batch of goods here. It's too tiring to sell everything myself, so I want to ask you to help me sell them. Of course, you're not doing it for free. There are a total of 11 people here. I will give each of you five pounds of popcorn and you can then find a crowded place to sell them. I'll pay you five cents per pack sold," Zhao Fei said as he held up five fingers.

Zhao Fei took out a pack of popcorn that he had prepared in advance, so that everyone could take a look at the size of one pack as well as do a taste test. Zhao Fei had calculated that one pound could yield 10 packs of popcorn, which meant that these guys could earn about two dollars and fifty cents a day. That was 75 dollars a month, which was not a small sum! Even people who worked in the factory might not be able to earn so much money.

"We'll do it! Brother, we'll do it! Give me however much you have! I'll definitely be able to sell it for you!" Xiao Zhu shouted enthusiastically.

"But what if we can't sell everything!" someone in the crowd asked.

Five pounds meant 50 packs. How could they sell 50 packs a day? How many people would they have to find to sell 50 packs?

Zhao Fei said confidently, "If you don't believe me, then just try it out for a day first. I won't force you. Wait and see how long it will take for you to sell five pounds of popcorn a day. I'm just worried that you'll ask me for more after you sell out today!"

They looked at one another, but they still chose to believe Zhao Fei. They had never done business before and were not familiar with these business matters. If Zhao Fei said that there was no problem, then there must be no problem.

"You just need to sell five pounds a day. Everyone will be given 50 packs of popcorn and not a pack more. Everyone gets the same amount. I'll pay you at the end of the day. Every evening at 4 p.m., come to the park to get money from me. If you exceed the time limit, your money will be deducted. You have to come back on time, do you understand?" Zhao Fei said sternly.

He had grown up with them and was very familiar with the situation of everyone here. He could not give these people a lump sum of money, otherwise they would get lazy. He would have to give them a bit every day. If they had more money, they would not save it up and would definitely spend it on drinks. Within a day, they would definitely not have much money left.

After they got used to the work, he would make them pay first before he would give them the goods. This way, Zhao Fei would be able to take on less risk.

"Understand!" the guys shouted.

Zhao Fei thought for a moment and continued, "One pack of popcorn is 50 cents each. Don't bargain or give any discounts. It is simply 50 cents a pack. Even if the deities come, don't change the price! Do you understand!"

"Understand!" the guys shouted in unison again.

Li Gui had specifically reminded him about the issue with the price. This was also what Qiao Mei had instructed Li Gui, although Qiao Mei also did not know where she was going with the business. In the future, if she opened a shop, she might want to create another separate branding.

If Zhao Fei raised the price, it would be akin to deceiving the customers and it would cause trouble for others. If Zhao Fei lowered the price on his own accord, then Li Gui would not be able to go out to sell them after the matter with Old Madam Fan's family was settled.

Therefore, she had to set the rules for them now. The price was fixed and could not be changed.

"If everyone agrees, then follow me to get the goods. We'll start today. If you don't want to do it, I won't force you. It's all voluntary." Zhao Fei turned around and left after saying that.

Xiao Zhu followed closely behind Zhao Fei and said all kinds of nice things, hoping that Zhao Fei would give him more.
