Ye Heng did some calculations. He needed at least five customer service employees and ten employees to do packaging, or also known as packagers.
In addition, his company would continue to develop in the future. Therefore, in his opinion, he would rather hire more people than have fewer people.
He planned to hire eight customer service employees and twenty packagers at one go.
“This is making me dizzy. I’m lacking people. Alright, I’ll look for Zhao Neng then”
At this moment, Ye Heng suddenly had an idea.
As the former boss of a greening company, he was very clear about his employees.
Furthermore, he had been observing the situation of his previous company recently and realized that because of the change in management, more than half of the employees had been laid off.
“Old Zhao, I heard that more than half of the people in the company have been fired.”
Thinking of this, Ye Heng immediately contacted the Human Resource director of his previous company.
“That’s right, Boss Ye. You may not know but the current employer is ruthless. He fired all the people who didn’t want to listen to him. He even planned to merge his own company with our greening company. If it wasn’t for the fact that I have a family to support, I would have left with you long ago.”
Zhao Neng immediately started to complain when he heard this.
“It’s okay. That’s not the reason why I’m looking for you. By the way, give me the list of the employees who were fired and their contact details. I can arrange jobs for them.”
Ye Heng smiled and said.
“Boss Ye, you are amazing. I didn’t expect you to start a company so soon.” Zhao Neng was surprised at the news.
“That’s right. If you are willing to change companies, I will reserve a position for you and your salary will remain the same. Also, let me tell you in advance that my new company is much better than the previous greening company. If you come here, I will treat you well.” Ye Heng said.
“Okay, since you recognised and appreciate my talents, I will follow you.” On the other end of the phone, Zhao Neng thought for a minute, slowly nodded and replied firmly to Ye Heng.
“Okay, I will send you the data about the new company in a while. Your job now is to help me organize the staff as soon as possible. There is still a lot of work to be done.”
There were nearly 50,000 express deliveries. Even the packaging needed about 20 people, and it would take another two days to complete.
There were also lacking people to do the cultivation and planting.
In total, they needed at least 70 people.
In addition, they were experiencing financial challenges so they couldn’t rent too much space in their current office environment.
If they only rented one office building, they would need to pay a rental fee of around 300,000 yuan.
But fortunately, Ye Heng still had 300,000 yuan. Borrowing this amount of money could be considered as solving a pressing problem.
According to the online store’s system, the seller would only receive the money after customers had confirmed the receipt of the goods. Therefore, even though there were a lot of orders, it would still take half a month before the money was fully recovered.
“Oh my god!”
When he saw the data about the Cosmic Planting store, Zhao Neng was completely shocked. They were only selling tomato plants, but they had a sales quota of 2.5 million yuan in one day.
As a veteran employee of the Human Resource department, he naturally did not believe this.
Therefore, he had gathered information and thoroughly studied Ye Heng’s products.
However, after going through the detailed data Ye Heng gave him about top-tier Tomato No. 1, he completely understood.
He had never thought that there would be such a powerful tomato.
Therefore, he could understand why this product could sell so many orders in less than a day.
The potted plant of Tomato No. 1 had opened up a new market for urban vegetable cultivation.
If each family bought two potted plants for cultivation, the quantity demanded would be in the hundreds of millions.
In addition, the top-tier Tomato No. 1 had a lifespan of one year. After a year, the plant will die.
They didn’t need to consider the issue of continuation.
No wonder Boss Ye was so confident in his products.
Compared to the previous greening companies, this Cosmic Planting flagship store was on a whole new level.
Its revenue was increasing by a hundred times.
Although it would hurt the profits of some vegetable farmers in the beginning, in the long run, it was a good development for the health of the whole country and the nation.
After all, such natural and pollution-free vegetables were more reassuring than genetically modified foods.
“Now it seems like we can make it big.”
After envisioning the vast prospects of Cosmic Planting, Zhao Neng was full of zeal.
It was also on this day that Zhao Neng immediately tendered his resignation.
Because he was an old employee, the new boss didn’t like these old employees to stay in the company.
Therefore, when he heard that Zhao Neng was going to resign, he immediately approved it.
That night, Zhao Neng used his contact information to contact all the employees who had been fired.
Not long after, he took dozens of employees and went straight to Ye Heng’s farm.
Because Zhao Neng was previously in Human Resource Management, the network and connections that he had were beyond one’s imagination.
In less than a few days, he brought in a lot of employees and settled the customer service and packaging work.
He was also responsible for the recruitment of new employees.
Ye Heng gave Zhao Neng full responsibility for this aspect.
The packagers who came did not hesitate to pack the products. At the gate of this plantation, there were often trucks from the express delivery company.
Many potted tomatoes were placed in the soil and packaged for express delivery before being placed on the trucks.
Luckily, Zhao Neng came in time. However, it took them five days to settle 50,000 orders.
Therefore, Ye Heng also understood why some merchants did not ship the goods when they were doing online shopping. After all, these orders made people anxious and eager.
However, it was also because of this order of 50,000 that made Ye Heng realise a problem.
The 30-year-old seed farm that he rented wasn’t sufficient for the later products to be planted.
But he still had to develop more plant varieties in the future.
According to his detailed estimation, it might not be enough to build up his planting kingdom by only renting this piece of land in the suburbs.
It would only be good enough when the company could expand their cultivation on the land in the next county..
