Chapter 680: Can't Argue with Her
Chapter 680: Can't Argue with Her
The truth was that Jiang Xia, Zhao Cheng Lei, and Jiang Dong were all invited for a chat that morning.
And even earlier, Master He and several factory managers had been summoned as well.
No one who had paid Jiang Xia and Zhao Cheng Lei was spared; all of them were invited.
Even Zhang Rong was implicated.
But Jiang Xia and the others didn't know this yet.
On the way home, Jiang Xia sat in the backseat with her father.
Jiang Father held his daughter's hand, "Were you scared?"
Jiang Xia smiled, "No, they're not monsters. Plus, they were very polite and had a good temper. I haven't done anything illegal, so why would I be afraid?"
People only get scared when they have something to hide, but Jiang Xia had nothing to hide. Why should she be afraid?
"Can you tell Dad what happened this morning?"
"What's there to hide?"
So, Jiang Xia recounted the morning's events to her father.
It all started that morning.
Jiang Xia was taken to an office and questioned by two staff members.
One staff member handed her a transfer record and asked, "Capital City Guomao Garment Factory No. 1 transferred you 378,600 yuan a few days ago. Why did they transfer such a large sum to you?"
Jiang Xia glanced at it, "That's the performance bonus I earned as a part-time translator and sales consultant for the Clothing Factory at the Sui Trade Fair. What's the problem? Are you here to award me? What kind of award? Best Individual or Model Worker?"
The two staff members were speechless.
Had they been too friendly, making her think they were here to give her an award?
The staff member's expression turned more serious, "Other factories have also transferred money to you, and the amounts are substantial!"
Jiang Xia smiled, "That's right. I didn't just work for Guomao Garment Factory No. 1; I helped several others too. So, Capital City Guomao Garment Factory No. 3 transferred me 286,000 yuan, Capital City No. 1 Plastic Plant transferred 88,000 yuan, Capital City No. 1 Food Processing Plant transferred 105,500 yuan, and Pearl Aquaculture Farm transferred 120,000 yuan. S-City Textile Plant also transferred 98,000 yuan. These are all the performance bonuses I earned as a part-time translator and sales consultant at the Sui Trade Fair. Altogether, it's over one million yuan!"
The staff members were speechless.
Her last sentence, "Altogether, it's over one million yuan", was said with great pride.
She was so proud!
They didn't even have to ask, and she had already confessed everything!
But this woman must be a bit off, right?
Didn't she realize why they were here? And yet, she was so smug about it?
If she wasn't off, then she must be completely innocent and confident, which is why she was so proud.
Of course, she might also be putting on an act.
The staff member continued, "Isn't your performance bonus a bit excessive?"
Jiang Xia flicked her long hair and smiled even more confidently, "Excessive? It's just average! It's much less than I expected! If I weren't so tired and had to take care of children while working, I could have set a new goal for the country! I'll definitely work harder at the next Sui Trade Fair!"
The staff members were speechless.
Jiang Xia continued, "Do you know what a small goal is? One hundred million yuan! You didn't know that, did you? As a part-time translator and sales consultant, I don't get a salary; I only get performance bonuses. The performance bonus is one percent of sales or net profit. If the product is marked up, I get one percent of sales; otherwise, it's one percent of profit. Do you know what a one million yuan performance bonus means? It means I generated over one hundred million yuan in foreign exchange for the country at the Sui Trade Fair. Do you know how much the total sales at the Sui Trade Fair were..."
The staff members couldn't listen anymore and interrupted her, "How did you manage to be a part-time translator and sales consultant for so many factories?"
If they let her continue, it would feel like they were listening to a report from an outstanding worker rather than conducting an interview.
They were hearing about her achievements and sales records.
"You got a decent performance bonus from each factory, which means you sold a lot. The Sui Trade Fair only lasted twenty days. How did you manage to sell so much for each factory? Do you have a clone?"
Jiang Xia laughed, "I don't have a clone, but I have a unification technique! I have to thank Master He and the Sui Trade Fair staff for trusting me and following my suggestions to create a good working environment. I proposed..."
Then, Jiang Xia enthusiastically shared her sales techniques.
How she planned several fashion shows to display products from multiple factories in one event.
How she organized large food tasting sessions.
How she arranged accommodations and transportation for foreign buyers to target specific clients and promote products.
...
Jiang Xia was eloquent and detailed in her explanations. The staff members were amazed.
They thought, "Is this even possible?"
After listening to Jiang Xia, they felt she deserved to generate one hundred million yuan in foreign exchange for the country. It wasn't surprising at all!
The foreign buyers seemed to be perfectly calculated and arranged from the moment they checked into the hotel.
The report mentioned that a staff member personally delivered clients to her.
But it didn't mean they were delivering clients or money to her. They were just trying to increase sales by concentrating clients for promotional activities.
The staff member asked, "Isn't one percent of sales as a performance bonus too high? We know other translators and salespeople who only get performance bonuses and no salary. But they only get one percent of profit, not sales. So, they earn much less than you."
Jiang Xia replied, "What does it matter if they earn less than me? It's because they're not capable! I'm too capable and outstanding. Is that a crime? Not everyone in the world earns the same salary! Even in your unit, not everyone earns the same. The capable earn more. Since I'm more capable than them, it's normal for me to earn more. Plus, the performance bonus is one percent of sales or profit..."
Jiang Xia explained how she earned one percent of sales or profit as a performance bonus.
For products where she marked up the price, she earned one percent of sales.
This way, the factories didn't lose money by giving her one percent of sales; instead, they earned more because of her markups.
For products without markups, she earned one percent of profit.
"Should I be blamed because they can't mark up the products and earn more foreign exchange for the country?"
The staff members were speechless.
They couldn't argue with her!
One of the staff members finally said, "To be honest, we're here because someone reported you, saying you colluded with others at the Sui Trade Fair to defraud public funds."
