Then he drove to another bank and withdrew twenty thousand yuan.

In total, he had thirty thousand yuan in cash at hand.

After getting into the car, he directly handed the money over to Old Zhang.

"We’ll handle the recruitment and such through the company’s account. This money is for you to manage the relationships. Many things require money, and without it, nothing can be done."

Old Zhang held the weighty thirty thousand yuan, his heart a tumult of emotions.

He could feel that Boss Gu truly trusted him a lot.

All at once, he felt the burden on his shoulders grow much heavier.

He was truly afraid that he would fail and let down Boss Gu’s expectations.

Afterward, Boss Gu drove him straight home.

As he got out of the car, Old Zhang said to Boss Gu with a bit of apprehension, "Boss Gu, if you find someone better during this time, then I will step down."

He knew he was inadequate, so if Boss Gu found someone else, he was willing to step aside.

Boss Gu simply smiled casually, not saying much else.

Find someone else? Boss Gu went over the people around him, and it seemed he really didn’t have anyone else to use.

The most trustworthy person would obviously be Ji Pianran, but Ji Pianran was destined not to manage his own company’s affairs while also thinking about this matter.

So the best choice was Old Zhang.

However, he wasn’t the kind of person who would carelessly entrust his family business to someone else.

The cooperation with Wei Tianfu was no small matter, and nothing could go wrong.

Even though Boss Gu had the idea of being a hands-off owner, he also knew that he had to fulfill his responsibilities diligently.

If something went wrong, he feared his own downfall.

The Wei Family was influential, and he believed that if Wei Tianfu encountered any trouble, those two elders would certainly be able to bail him out.

It was even likely that Wei Tianfu himself had already made preparations, so that no matter how big the trouble, he probably wouldn’t be affected.

But what about himself? In theory, he should be like Wu Dazhu, tied to the same string of grasshoppers.

If there was an issue, both would be finished together.

Boss Gu was gambling, and he knew Wu Da was gambling as well.

Boss Gu wanted money and houses.

Wu Da was after a future and a career.

Boss Gu knew in his heart that it was he and Wu Da who had no way out.

Wei Tianfu, relying on his wisdom, had probably already considered the consequences he might face if he failed.

Although that’s what he said, Boss Gu knew that Wei Tianfu treated him well.

How many people would fight tooth and nail for such a deal?

Wei Tianfu wasn’t looking to make money from this deal; he was also considering his own future, and at the same time, he wanted to suppress the wealthy businessmen from Chuan City who were starting to bite back.

As Boss Gu thought about these things, he drove to Xiaobaijiu Food Co. Ltd.

When Boss Gu took the elevator up to the company floor, the elevator doors opened to the sound of employees’ laughter and cheerful voices.

Stepping out, he saw the staff engaged in loud conversations.

Since there wasn’t much work in the company at the moment, they didn’t have much to do.

So naturally, they were chatting to pass the time.

Suddenly, Boss Gu walked in, and upon seeing him, the employees immediately dropped their smiles and hurriedly sat up straight, staring at the blank A4 papers on their desks, not really knowing what they were doing, their eyes clearly flustered.

Where there’s one, there’ll be a second, and soon everyone saw the arrival of Boss Gu.

All the noise vanished, and the employees who weren’t at their own desks scurried back.

Watching everyone busily trying to find something to do at their empty desks, Boss Gu couldn’t help but feel like laughing.

He walked over and said to them, "The advertising planners and the sales team, come with me."

After Boss Gu finished speaking, six employees stood up and followed him into the office.

Once they entered the office, those who were seated let out a sigh of relief.

Boss Gu hadn’t even closed the office door yet when whispers began to trickle from outside.

"Can’t you guys keep an eye on the elevator? How could you miss such a big indicator light and not know the boss has come?"

"Sigh, if the boss didn’t come I would have almost forgotten we even had one in this company."

"Enough, stop talking and find something to do quickly."

Hearing their conversation, Boss Gu let out a laugh.

This group was quite young, with relatively little work experience, still carrying an air of students about them.

They weren’t like the old hands who could stay calm, sitting in the company the whole day through.

And since they didn’t have much work to do, it didn’t matter if they chatted and played with each other a bit.

Of course, if they were still in this state when there was work to be done, Boss Gu wouldn’t show any mercy.

Inside the office, they all looked at Boss Gu with tense expressions.

Having had little contact with Boss Gu, they felt as if it were their first day at a job interview.

"Xiaobaijiu will soon be ready to bottle and sell, and for sales, there’s mainly one task, to take our products to various supermarkets and malls for promotion.

I will assign four sales representatives to four regions in Chuan City, each responsible for their designated area.

In your area, the volume of Xiaobaijiu shipped out will relate directly to your income.

Xiaobaijiu retails for ten yuan, you’ll get it for eight yuan, and if you supply it to supermarkets for nine yuan, it’s essentially a fifty-fifty split, meaning there’s a one yuan profit per bottle for you.

Of course, if you can negotiate it up to nine yuan fifty, then you’ll make a profit of one yuan fifty. If you give it to the supermarket for eight yuan fifty, then you’ll only make fifty cents."

Boss Gu said this to the four sales representatives.

He had picked all newcomers for these sales representatives because he planned to train them himself, rather than choosing the seasoned old timers.

Upon hearing this, all four of them immediately perked up.

Making one yuan in profit per bottle was indeed substantial.

"Regarding advertising, start getting prepared soon. Our company’s ads will be aired on TV, spreading throughout Chuan City."

After giving the six of them their mission, Boss Gu allowed them to leave.

Then he called for the financial manager to come in.

The finance team was actually the largest, with two people in the advertising group, four in sales, three in operations, five in finance, and the last person handled various miscellaneous tasks for the company.

Boss Gu had his reasons for such an arrangement; he anticipated that soon the company would have a significant influx of cash.

Therefore, financial management had to be tightly controlled and not taken lightly.

Interestingly, all five in finance were women.

This wasn’t something Boss Gu had done on purpose; it was merely a coincidence.

When the five of them came in, their demeanor was no different from the former six, standing there nervously as if waiting to be reprimanded.
