"The question for this market research was: at 7 AM, purchasing 10 jin of spinach at a pri location stall in a rural farrs market, what’s the minimum amount that would be spent.
"Aunt Su, you should know the answer, right? How much do you think it should be?" Li Renshu asked.
Su Xiucen was stunned for a mont, then said matter-of-factly, "Ten yuan! Or maybe even lower, six or seven yuan is also possible."
Although Li Renshu had sowhat expected this psychologically, guessing that the price might be lower than she had imagined, hearing this number from Su Xiucen’s mouth was still sowhat shocking.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Aunt Su, are you sure? Spinach costs less than one yuan per jin?
"Moreover, this is at 7 AM, at a pri location stall in a rural farrs market. Shouldn’t the price be marked up a bit more?"
Su Xiucen waved her hands repeatedly, "No way!
"Vegetables are cheaper in the early morning and evening. As for location, it has nothing to do with vegetable prices at all."
Li Renshu was even more puzzled, "I understand that vegetable prices are cheap in the evening, after all, stalls need to close and the vegetables aren’t fresh anymore. But vegetables in the early morning are just picked, why would they be cheaper?"
Su Xiucen explained, "Because in the morning farrs market, many farrs co to sell fruits and vegetables they grow at ho!
"Many households grow spinach, and when they can’t finish eating it themselves, they go to the farrs market to sell it. Many rural farrs markets don’t even have the concept of fixed stalls. Whoever gets there early gets the spot.
"These people usually close their stalls by 8 AM because they still need to go back to their own fields to do farm work. Whatever vegetables they can’t sell, they sell cheap.
"As for location and such, it doesn’t affect vegetable prices. The entire farrs market has the sa prices.
"Because there are only so many people who co to buy vegetables every day, and there are about the sa number of people selling vegetables. In the end, everyone can sell everything. If you sell cheaper, at most you just close your stall earlier, it doesn’t prevent others from making money, so everyone charges the sa price.
"I love rushing to buy vegetables in the morning. Many are grown by the farrs themselves, fresh, cheap, and no pesticides used."
Li Renshu felt sowhat regretful, "It would have been great if you were there at the ti, Aunt Su."
Su Xiucen asked, "What, are all the questions like this? But I can’t go out now either. Otherwise, should I tell you all the vegetable prices now so you can rember them?"
Li Renshu shook her head, "No need, Aunt Su.
"According to the ga rules, we take turns choosing questions, and there are four different fields: [Science], [Society], [Arts], [Livelihood].
"Next ti it’ll be our turn to choose.
"We can choose Society or Arts, which are fields we’re better at. As long as we don’t choose Livelihood, we won’t have to answer these types of questions.
"Don’t worry."
Su Xiucen nodded, "Ah, good, then you arrange it as you see fit. If you encounter this type of question again, co ask ."
...
Leaving the CEO’s office, Li Renshu returned to the office area again.
"Fu Chen, Xu Tong.
"I just asked Aunt Su. The correct answer is within 10 yuan."
Both Fu Chen and Xu Tong were very surprised, "Ah? But that’s ten jin of spinach!"
Li Renshu sighed quietly and found a random seat to sit down, "Yes, in rural farrs markets, spinach grown by farrs themselves is indeed this cheap. Follow current novᴇls on NoveI~Fire
"What a pity. If Aunt Su had gone, she definitely could have answered correctly."
Fu Chen also felt very troubled, "Now this is a bit problematic.
"Market research has questions from four different fields in total. If nothing unexpected happens, all livelihood-related questions should be similar to this one.
"If Aunt Su were there, she should be able to answer them all correctly, but the three of us...
"Can only answer questions from other fields.
"I thought about it, and I can probably answer questions from the [Arts] field. I’m quite familiar with songs, movies, novels, and that kind of content."
Li Renshu nodded, "Mm, I should be relatively good at [Society] type questions.
"What about you, Xu Tong?"
Xu Tong thought for a mont, "I’ll also do [Arts] type questions, I guess? However, for simple science questions, perhaps I could also barely guess. After all, I studied science in university."
Fu Chen was sowhat surprised, "Huh? Shouldn’t Human Resources Managent be a liberal arts major?"
Xu Tong shook her head, "Not necessarily. Both liberal arts and science students can study it. I studied science."
Fu Chen felt pleasantly surprised, "That’s great! You go to the next market research. No matter what, since you’re a science student, having you answer [Science] type questions would definitely be more reliable than , a pure liberal arts student."
Li Renshu thought for a mont, "There’s no rush for the next market research, because next ti it’s our turn to choose.
"I think choosing either [Society] or [Arts] would be fine, as those are areas we’re relatively good at.
"As for Xu Tong, she can go the ti after that. I think Tian Fan from Community 8 might choose the [Science] field."
Xu Tong nodded, "I’m fine with anything, I’ll follow your arrangents.
"By the way, while you were at market research, I also studied the company managent system in this ga.
"I have an idea, which is...
"Can we lay off those employees with high salaries?"
Fu Chen was montarily speechless, "...You’re having an occupational disease flare-up, aren’t you? First day at the company and you’re already thinking about layoffs."
Xu Tong hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, it’s not that I’m full of thoughts about layoffs, but from this ga’s chanics, isn’t it encouraging us to lay people off?
"Or rather, layoffs are originally a very important part of this ga’s content, right?
"Look, the victory goal of this ga is to survive the economic winter and ensure the company still has a surplus during the final settlent.
"Surplus, surplus, it’s nothing more than increasing inco and reducing expenses, earning more and spending less.
"For the earning money part, we complete it through answering questions in market research, so naturally there’s nothing more to say.
"But what about spending money? In this ga, there are no expenses like rent or utility bills. There’s only one place where money is spent, which is employee salaries.
"Every activity in the ga is calculated in units of ’months,’ which ans when we go out to conduct market research once, it’s equivalent to a month passing, and 80,000 minutes of visa ti will be automatically deducted as compensation paid to employees.
"This is way too much!
"Suppose we lay off so employees with high salaries who don’t work, saving 10,000 minutes of visa ti. After ten activities, wouldn’t we have 100,000 minutes of visa ti?
"By then, each person could get an extra 20,000 or so.
"Besides, according to the ga rules, affected by the economic winter, the later it gets, the less money our company will make. There might even be situations where the money earned is less than the salaries.
"When that ti cos, to prevent the company from going bankrupt, we’ll still have to lay people off.
"Since we’ll have to lay people off sooner or later, shouldn’t we prepare in advance?"
Li Renshu and Fu Chen looked at each other and fell into silence.
Li Renshu looked thoughtful, "So the ga na really does have a pun aning? Financial Sources Ga. Is it hinting that in the process of company operations, we must lay off those unnecessary people?"
