Chapter 613: 608 Marketing Commission

Especially when they saw how earnest Gu Chen looked.

They knew Gu Chen wasn’t lying here.

There really was no such position reserved in advance.

He certainly didn’t want to follow the old path of that Liu Dahai.

At its core, sitting at a table is just about accompanying others for drinks.

But he couldn’t guarantee that those who sit at tables wouldn’t go further.

If there was one case of going further, the nature of things would change completely.

So, to ensure the bar’s bright future and his own clean reputation,

he decided to eliminate this position.

Seeing Gu Chen’s serious demeanor, they didn’t know what to say.

It was the sister with purple hair who said, "Then, what does ’atmosphere team’ mean?"

She asked Gu Chen curiously.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen slowly said, "See that? Right there in front is the dance floor."

"The main task of the atmosphere team is to liven up the mood on the dance floor, so there’ll be music playing and it won’t be awkward or anything like that."

After saying this, the three sisters immediately became interested.

Then they asked Gu Chen, "Liven up the mood? How do we do that?"

"Well... basically, just go up and jump around, there are no restraints; do whatever you want," Gu Chen said.

After Gu Chen finished speaking, the three women became very intrigued.

"So, how much is the salary for the atmosphere team?" the sister with purple hair asked.

"The atmosphere team’s base salary is also three thousand, but there are no commissions like there are for the waitstaff," Gu Chen explained.

A salary of three thousand, for the average wage earner, was already not low.

But in the service industry they were in before, it was not a problem to earn over five thousand.

Sometimes, if they caught a "big fish," they could even make seven to eight thousand.

So compared to the three thousand for the atmosphere team, they lost interest.

At that moment, the woman who had arrived earliest suddenly asked Gu Chen with curiosity, "Boss Gu, I saw you are also recruiting for marketing outside. What does that job entail?"

The three sisters glanced at the woman upon hearing this.

They had thought she was an associate of Gu Chen.

It turned out she was also here for a job interview.

Gu Chen then explained the role of marketing.

"Marketing mainly involves serving customers, taking their orders, opening their bottles.

If you have your own social network in society, you might want to try marketing.

The base salary for marketing is five thousand a month, with a base commission of fifteen percent.

If monthly sales performance exceeds one hundred thousand, the commission is twenty percent.

If it reaches one million, the commission is twenty-five percent."

After Gu Chen said this, their eyes lit up immediately.

A base commission of fifteen percent means if you sell ten thousand worth of drinks, you could make a commission of fifteen hundred.

One hundred thousand would net a commission of twenty thousand.

The commission actually sounded quite high, but reaching a monthly sales target of one hundred thousand was not an easy task.

Of course, in the end, Gu Chen mentioned that a commission of twenty-five percent was possible with a million in sales.

But no one believed that was attainable.

Twenty-five percent, that’s two hundred and fifty thousand. But how could that be possible? Who would spend a million on drinks?

"Mr. Gu, how are the drinks sold in this bar?" she asked curiously.

Hearing this, Gu Chen immediately went to get the drink menu for them.

These kinds of drink menus had already been prepared.

Actually, he preferred ordering using mobile devices.

Unfortunately, the technology wasn’t there yet, so they had to use the simplest method for taking orders.

When Gu Chen handed them the alcohol menu, they were taken aback.

Because the price of drinks on the menu ranged from dozens to hundreds of yuan.

Even the sets priced in the thousands or tens of thousands were comprehensive.

"Boss Gu, isn’t this too expensive? A beer set costs ninety-nine yuan?" At that moment, she asked Gu Chen with some disbelief.

Gu Chen replied with a casual smile, "Expensive? Actually, it’s all right."

They originally lacked confidence in achieving the sales target of one hundred thousand yuan.

But when they saw Gu Chen’s menu, they suddenly felt that the sales target of one hundred thousand yuan was not difficult to reach.

After all, it was a matter of achieving that over a month, which averaged out to a daily sales target of three thousand three hundred yuan.

Like those foreign liquor sets, there were some costing three to five thousand yuan.

Going by this, selling one set could cover it all.

"Mr. Gu, I would like to try out the marketing position in this bar," the woman who had just arrived said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this but simultaneously said to her, "You can do marketing.

However, if the sales performance doesn’t meet the high base salary within a month, then you will have to be let go.

That is to say, marketing needs to bring in at least five thousand yuan of sales each month."

It was different from other positions.

The role in marketing was the same as in sales.

Sales often has a lower base salary but a higher commission.

It was the same here with Gu Chen.

The woman hesitated for a moment upon hearing this but eventually nodded her head.

The three girls nearby also seemed eager to give it a try.

Soon, after a round of hushed discussions among themselves,

they decided to apply for the marketing positions as well.

When Gu Chen saw that they had all applied,

he didn’t quite know what to say.

Actually, he knew very well in his heart.

If those three young women had indeed been hostesses before,

then perhaps they really did have resources to the clientele of Chuan City.

If they really could make it work, that would be the best.

But he feared the occurrence of some other issues.

So many people showed a keen interest in the high-salary recruitment advertised outside the door throughout the rest of the afternoon.

The majority of applicants were for the server positions,

because a base salary of three thousand plus commission was something other places couldn’t offer.

In just half a day, Gu Chen hired thirteen people.

Ten women and three men.

It wasn’t that Gu Chen intentionally wanted to hire more women,

but rather there were far too few men applying.

This was probably also connected to current social attitudes.

To most people, such a place for drinking is considered unclean.

Since ancient times, there have been men who served in pleasure quarters, but the mention of male courtesans has rarely been passed down.

For men, the money earned in these places is considered to be disreputable, so they would not apply, even though the wages here are indeed high.

After the day ended, Gu Chen instructed them to come back to the bar at five in the afternoon three days later.

Because that afternoon, three days from now, was the time Gu Chen had set for the official opening of the bar.

These three days were enough for Gu Chen to get many things done.

Actually, they could open for business now, but Gu Chen still planned to promote it in Chuan City.

Furthermore, Qiwei Vegetarian outside still needed to be sorted out.
