Chapter 252 1-Year Agreement
"You have to not only try your best to identify and avoid such problems, but also accept failure, remember the lessons and avoid falling into the same pit again."
"This process is not only the development process of Wanjuanshu, but also your personal growth process. If you can get through it, you will become the successful owner of Wanjuanshu. If you can't get through it, you will still be the self-pitying and mediocre Yuan Qizi."
"I don't like to force people to do things against their will, so I'm going to give you a chance to choose. Do you want to accept the challenge and become the owner and small shareholder of Wanjuanshu, or continue to collect information for me here."
"If you choose the latter, I will solve your current problem for you, so that you can be the head of the intelligence organization without any worries. You can decide for yourself."
After saying this, Lin Chuyi ignored Yuan Qizi and picked up an empty teacup on the tea tray and poured herself a cup of cold tea. It had been a long time since she talked so much at once, and her mouth was almost dry.
Lin Chuyi had just finished a cup of cold tea when she heard Yuan Qizi's choice.
"Girl, I have made up my mind. I want to be the shopkeeper of Wanjuanshu."
"Are you sure? Don't you regret it?" Lin Chuyi asked back.
"Sure, I will never regret it." Yuan Qizi's answer was powerful.
"Okay." Lin Chuyi put down the empty cup in his hand and looked up at Yuan Qizhi. "I'll give you this chance. From now on, you are the nominal owner and manager of Wanjuanshu. The profits of Wanjuanshu will be settled every six months, and the profits will be divided into nine parts for me and one part for you."
"Since you are also the shopkeeper, in addition to the store dividends, you can also receive a salary as a shopkeeper. Managing ten thousand volumes of books is a lot of work, and the monthly salary of the shopkeeper must be worthy of the workload of this position. I will calculate it as three taels of silver per month. When you pay the shop assistants, remember to deduct your share. Okay, I have said everything I need to say. Now it depends on your performance."
Yuan Qizi felt that Lin Chuyi's few light words had turned into a heavy burden on his shoulders, causing him to feel a sudden increase in pressure. But this time he withstood the pressure, looked at Lin Chuyi with burning eyes, and expressed his true thoughts at the moment.
"Miss, I won't say any big words. I know you don't like to hear them, and I can't say them. I can only promise you that I will do my best to manage Wanjuanshu."
"It's just that, no matter what, my lack of ability is an indisputable fact. I can't accept such generous treatment with peace of mind. Therefore, I hope you can give me some time, just one year."
"If within a year, the Wan Juan Shu that I manage fails to meet your expectations for Wan Juan Shu, you can simply remove my position and take back the property and share that was distributed in advance. I will have no complaints."
"If the development of Wan Juan Shu meets your expectations, it will prove that I am worthy of this treatment. I will continue to work hard to make Wan Juan Shu reach a higher level and myself reach a higher level."
After hearing what Yuan Qizi said, Lin Chuyi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards, and he said with emotion: "You are ambitious, okay, I will give you this opportunity, just use your abilities, and I will also give you a definite answer, the amount of treatment depends on your ability."
"If you can't meet my expectations of you, I will naturally not continue to be the sucker. If you do better than I expected, I will not be stingy with my reward. 10% of the shares is not the limit I can accept. As for how much of the shares you can make me willingly give up, it depends on your ability."
When Yuan Qizhi heard Lin Chuyi calling him "boy", he complained in his heart: The girl is not very old, why does she speak so old-fashionedly? If I am a boy, then what is she? A little girl?
Before Yuan Qizi could finish his complaints, he heard Lin Chuyi hint that if he did well, he would be given more dry shares. He was frightened. A 10% dry share was already a pleasant surprise for him now. If it was increased more, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.
Yuan Qizhi was about to refuse when a new idea came to his mind: The girl's words showed that she was very optimistic about me, so why should I be so self-deprecating? Besides, what the girl said was about the future, and whether I could hold on to the 10% stake was still uncertain. Refusing to mention the stake now was simply unnecessary. Instead of repeatedly refusing and making the girl unhappy, it would be better to use this to motivate myself to work hard.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qizhi solemnly bowed to Lin Chuyi and said, "Thank you for your favor, young lady. I will do my best to live up to your expectations of me."
"Okay, remember what you said. By the way, I have to remind you that pressure is a good thing, but don't let it affect your judgment. I know what you are worried about. Aren't you worried that you are not capable enough to support thousands of books? Don't be too anxious. Master Wen will come to Lanzhou in a while. He will take the initiative to contact you. By then, if you don't understand anything, you can go to Master Wen for advice."
Yuan Qizhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Are you serious, young lady?"
"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you, but I want to make one thing clear. I handed the Ten Thousand Volumes to you, and you are the only person in charge of the Ten Thousand Volumes. If you rely on Master Wen to make decisions on everything, you will be fully responsible if something goes wrong."
"I know. I just want to ask Master Wen for advice on study. I don't have any other intentions," Yuan Qizi explained.
"Well, it's good that you know what's going on. By the way, now that you're in charge of the Ten Thousand Books, have you ever thought about what to do with the people you have? You can't keep supporting them like this for the rest of their lives, right?"
After hearing Lin Chuyi mention the group of people outside, Yuan Qizhi realized that there was still a problem that had not been solved. He pondered for a while and said, "I haven't thought about this problem yet, but I already have a general direction."
"I now support a total of 53 people, of which 35 are young and strong, and they are the main force to inquire about information. The rest are old, weak, sick and disabled. I chose to accept them out of my own selfishness, because I saw my past self in them, so I wanted to reach out and help them, but I didn't expect that I overestimated my own ability."
When Yuan Qizhi said this, he smiled bitterly, then he cheered up and continued, "But, young lady, don't worry. I have checked these people. They are not bad people. They have become beggars out of necessity."
"During this period, in addition to completing tasks in exchange for food, many of them have also been learning to read from me. If we train them well, they may become useful talents in the future."
