When it came time to settle the accounts, Tan He'an charged him $3,250, and he didn't even charge him for the slaughtering fee.
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "How much per pound for Boss Tan's ducks?"
"Thirteen dollars, including the slaughtering fee."
Tan He'an, as if knowing the surprise in his heart, said with a smile, "Generally, people buy ducks and have them slaughtered at my place. The slaughtering fee for each duck is about seventy to eighty cents. Du Xing has had his ducks slaughtered at my place twice already, in large numbers each time."
This Du Xing is really ruthless, charging me three dollars per duck for the slaughtering fee.
And the price of the ducks, only thirteen dollars here with Tan He'an, and he was charging me fifteen.
Qin Hao wasn't angry because that's how business is. Since he had accepted the terms, it only meant his own judgement hadn't been sharp enough.
"There's no problem with the ducks here, right, Boss Tan?"
Tan He'an: "Mr. Qin, rest assured, my wife runs a breeding farm just outside the suburbs of Jiangshan City. You can check it out anytime. If Mr. Qin wants to buy in large quantities in the future, we can negotiate the price."
Qin Hao felt relieved. No wonder Tan He'an could offer such a low price; it turns out the breeding farm is his family's business.
Smiling even more upon hearing this, Qin Hao said, "Boss Tan is an honest man. I believe we will have even more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Tan He'an also smiled, "Mr. Qin may have some concerns now, but over time you'll come to know what kind of person I, Tan, am. I will take my leave now, Mr. Qin."
After Tan He'an left, Qin Hao asked Kang Youyi, "How did you find this man?"
Kang Youyi chuckled, "Heard about him from asking around. He's been doing business in the live poultry and aquatic products market for decades, with a very good reputation."
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "He made a good impression on me. Starting from tomorrow, we'll temporarily get our supplies from Tan He'an."
"Alright."
Walking into the shop, Kang Youyi had already arranged for people to clean the ducks.
Li Bao had someone take a document out of the car, "Hao, here's the driving license you wanted. It's been taken care of."
Qin Hao was surprised, "So soon?"
Kang Youyi said from the side, "Hao, Bao's capabilities are high now. He knows many people in the business sector and in the government. Just a license, hand over some money and it's done."
"Don't talk nonsense," Li Bao glared at the chubby man irritably.
Yu Jie: "My hometown is in Yong'an County, Jiangshan City, and I planned to find a job in Jiangshan City because of my family's situation.
A few days ago, I interviewed at several other places in Jiangshan City, but I wasn't very satisfied."
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "What are your requirements for a job?"
Yu Jie: "I would like to ask about our work hours, salary, and so on."
Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Your work hours will generally be from nine in the morning to seven or eight in the evening, depending on the workload, with no breaks on weekends for now, and the hours might be longer but they include meals.
Your salary during the probation period is four thousand per month, after becoming regular it's five thousand, and there are bonuses every month, depending on work performance."
This salary, Qin Hao didn't dare to say it was very high in Jiangshan City, but it definitely wasn't bad either.
Hearing the salary Qin Hao mentioned, Yu Jie's eyes clearly lit up; four thousand during probation, five thousand after being regularized, plus bonuses, this was the best offer she'd received after several days of interviews.
But she worried about whether Qin Hao's Peking duck restaurant would fold in less than a month.
If it did, would she still receive her salary?
Seeing she wasn't speaking, Qin Hao asked curiously, "Miss Yu, do you have any other concerns?"
"No... no others." Yu Jie didn't dare to speak her mind.
Qin Hao noticed her reluctance to speak and said with a smile, "Perhaps Miss Yu lacks confidence in my Peking duck restaurant.
If you're free this afternoon, you can try working here, and if you feel it's not right, I'll give you a hundred yuan as payment for today, and you can continue your search tomorrow. If it feels okay, then stay on,"
Yu Jie, feeling embarrassed, nodded, "Mhm, okay."
Qin Hao introduced her to someone, "This chubby guy is Kang Youyi; when I'm not here, he's in charge of the matters in the store."
"Hello, Mr. Kang," Yu Jie said to Kang Youyi with a smile.
Kang Youyi quickly returned the smile, "Miss Yu, hello."
"Fatty, show Miss Yu around and familiarize her with the work environment in the store," said Qin Hao to Kang Youyi.
In the afternoon, two more people came for interviews; he was interviewing them for selling Peking ducks, which required no special skills, just the ability to handle money and cut ducks. When not selling, they would help out in the store, and it wasn't tiring. Qin Hao had set their salary at three thousand for the moment.
Qin Hao thought these two were quite okay, so he decided to keep them on.
