Chapter 125: Wage Arrears (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Seoul in July is sweltering with heat. Just taking a walk outside will make you sweat profusely, as if you were in an oven. You'll want to stay in an air-conditioned room.
During this period, Zhang Qiyuan has no time to work on sales. Firstly, there are not many clients, and secondly, he is spending most of his time practicing Subject 3. Even if he were to work on sales, no clients would come out to see the house in this weather. Not only does he have no sales, but other people in their Air Force base group also have few viewings. They are basically making plans to go fishing. Qu Feng is the top seller in their store, and the boss has a hard time controlling him. Recently, he's been posting as many pictures as an African.
Of course, the same goes for Zhang Qiyuan. Because he was negotiating deals, holding monthly meetings and company team building at the end of June, he didn't practice driving much. So for more than ten days after the team building, he followed his instructor on the road every day to practice Subject 3, and he was exposed to as much sun as Qu Feng.
At noon on July 12, Zhang Qiyuan received a salary slip from the store secretary Cui Mengyue.
It shows the June payroll of Shangjia Real Estate.
Good news on performance: 286438.
Recorded performance: 259438.
May performance: 56600.
June performance: 202838.
After seeing the actual performance record, Zhang Qiyuan did some calculations. Since the two orders he signed in May were not transferred until June, which means the performance was only recorded in June, the commission would be paid this month.
As for his performance in June, the two orders of Lin Fang and Xu Jie were to be transferred in July, so they were not included in the actual performance record.
Perfect attendance award: 200.
Basic salary: .
Social security subsidy: .
Personal commission: .
Dormitory deduction: 300.
Required amount: .
Zhang Qiyuan calculated that the company's commission algorithm mechanism should be to first deduct 7% of the platform fee based on performance, then deduct the full commission award and pioneering award bonus previously issued, and finally multiply it by the commission for that month. The order of 28000 he opened before was a rental order, which was a general commission of 50%. After deducting the dormitory fee, it was almost the same as the commission on the salary slip.
Although it was much less than he expected, Zhang Qiyuan was still very satisfied to get a salary of more than 13 yuan.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qiyuan received a text message on his bank card informing him of the deposit of his salary.
He immediately took out his cell phone and took a look at it. This look made him frown.
The text message showed that he had deposited yuan into his account, which meant that there was still yuan that had not been transferred to him.
Although Zhang Qiyuan felt a little uncomfortable, he thought that the company only called him twice. However, until he returned to the store after driving practice, Zhang Qiyuan did not receive any more text messages from the bank.
After getting off the training car, Zhang Qiyuan ran straight to the tea room and found Luo Gang.
"Brother Luo, what's going on in the company? My salary slip shows that I should be paid more than 13 yuan, so why did they only give me more than yuan? There is still not a hundred thousand yuan left?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
He had originally thought that after he got his salary and passed the driving test, he would buy a car with full payment. However, the company only gave him more than 30,000 yuan now, which would make anyone unhappy.
"Is this true? Don't worry, I'll call the finance department."
Luo Gang said with a serious expression.
Having said that, Luo Gang immediately called the company's financial director.
"Zou Xingyuan, what does the company mean? Why did Zhang Qiyuan only pay you more than 30,000 yuan in salary this month?" Luo Gang said in an aggressive tone.
"Zhang Qiyuan's performance in the past two months was so good, but you only paid him more than 30,000 yuan. Qiyuan was counting on this month's salary to buy a car. How can I manage the store in the future? What will Qiyuan think? How can he be in the mood to work hard?"
"It's fine if you owe our store manager and district manager their salaries, but why are you owing our agent's salary as well?"
"Okay, this is what you said, this month's salary will be paid in three installments, and it must be paid before the end of the month? Okay, if it is not paid by then, I will make trouble for you."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Gang glanced at Zhang Qiyuan and said hesitantly, "Qiyuan, the finance department said that your salary for this month will be paid to you before the end of the month. It should be paid once on the 20th and once before the end of the month."
Zhang Qiyuan was very annoyed and said, "What kind of company is this? They have to pay wages in three installments? And the company still owes your store manager and district manager their wages?"
Luo Gang glanced outside the door and made sure no one was there. He sighed and said, "Actually, the company wasn't like this before. It was just that the year before last, the company represented a property in Echeng Development Zone and paid a deposit of more than 20 million. Later, the deposit could not be recovered and the company has been involved in a lawsuit. The company's funds have been tight since then. In addition, the market has not been good in the past two years. Most of the company's performance is new property performance, and commissions arrive late. Therefore, the finance department pays the brokers with lower salaries first, and the salaries of brokers with more performance are paid later."
"No, I've been in the company for nearly two months, and I've been dealing with second-hand houses. The commissions are all paid directly into my account. Why should my commissions be used to pay salaries?" Zhang Qiyuan said dissatisfiedly.
"Your amount is too little. As far as I know, the company owes Gao Min more than one million. Do you think Gao Min and her store don't want to start their own business? It's because the company hasn't paid Gao Min's salary that she has stayed in the company. In addition, the company still owes the district manager and store manager money. For example, I still owe 60,000 or 70,000 yuan. But don't worry, since Zou Xingyuan said he will pay you by the end of the month, he will definitely pay you. If he doesn't pay you by then, I will go to the headquarters with you to find him." Luo Gang comforted him. Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan felt even more uncertain.
"No, is this company going to collapse? It's short of so much money?" Zhang Qiyuan said speechlessly.
"Don't worry, as long as the company's new housing sales arrive, we will definitely pay you your salary."
Zhang Qiyuan looked at Luo Gang and said with some complexity: "I feel like I'm on your pirate ship. If I had known the company was in this situation, I would not have come to the Shang family. You are simply a big liar."
"Ahem..." Luo Gang coughed awkwardly and said, "How could I fool you? It's just that your second-hand housing sales this month are too strong. Our company has never achieved a second-hand housing sales of 28 in a month before. If it's new housing sales, it doesn't matter. After all, the commissions for new houses are paid at different times and will not be accumulated together."
"Oh, it's my fault for placing too many orders." Zhang Qiyuan said self-deprecatingly.
"No, that's not what I meant. Let me urge the finance department to pay you your salary earlier," Luo Gang said.
"Okay, I'll do my performance work when I get paid. It's a good time to concentrate on getting my driver's license."
Zhang Qiyuan was quite concerned about the company's inability to pay salaries on time. If even June's salaries could not be paid out all at once, then Shangjia Real Estate's capital chain would have big problems. Waiting for the commissions from new houses to arrive before paying would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
If the performance in July, August or even September is not good, the company will definitely close some of its stores.
The more performance you achieve now, the more tied you will be to the company. Just like Gao Min, you want to leave but are afraid you won't get your salary back. If you don't leave, the salary the company owes you will only increase.
Zhang Qiyuan, whose mood was broken by the company's unpaid wages, gave up completely. He basically did not do any work and practiced Subject 3 wholeheartedly. Finally, on July 25th, he got his driver's license.
But what upset him was that he still hadn't received the rest of his salary, not a penny.
The phone of Financial Director Zou Xingyuan was broken by him and Luo Gang. He kept putting it off, saying that it would be sent out by the end of the month. Later, he simply stopped answering the calls from the two of them.
This made Zhang Qiyuan want to go directly to the headquarters to ask Zou Xingyuan for an explanation, but Luo Gang stopped him and asked him to see if it would be issued by the end of the month. If not, he would call Zhou Qing to ask for an explanation for him.
Soon, it was the end of the month. At four o'clock in the evening on the last day of July, he received a salary deposit, but it was only 30,000 yuan, and there was still 70,000 yuan that had not been paid.
"Brother Luo, take a look for yourself. You only paid 30,000 yuan out of a hundred thousand yuan salary. Who would still be in the mood to do business? The more you do, the more you owe." Zhang Qiyuan found Luo Gang and showed him the text message.
"Wait a minute, I'll call my boss."
Having said that, Luo Gang called Zhou Qing in front of Zhang Qiyuan.
"Boss, this is what's going on. Why did you only pay Zhang Qiyuan 30,000 yuan today? Zou Xingyuan said before that it would be paid before the end of the month."
"Yes, the company is in trouble now, but Zhang Qiyuan worked so hard to achieve sales last month. The 28 second-hand house sales were all commissions paid in cash, not commissions for new houses. Because of this, Zhang Qiyuan is no longer in the mood to achieve sales. He originally planned to buy a car after receiving last month's commission so that he could achieve better sales. Now that his salary is not paid, what do you think Zhang Qiyuan will think?"
"Send them together next month? Okay, I'll talk to him about it."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Gang looked at Zhang Qiyuan and said, "Boss Zhou said we'll send them out together next month."
"Delay again? Delay it to the end of this month, and then to next month from the end of the month." Zhang Qiyuan frowned.
"Don't worry, since Mr. Zhou promised you that he would send it out together next month, it will definitely be sent out." Luo Gang said with certainty.
"What if it doesn't?"
"No, I'll go with you to see Mr. Zhou, okay?"
"You've said this before." Zhang Qiyuan said unhappily.
"This time it's true. If you don't send it next month, I will definitely go with you to find Mr. Zhou." Luo Gang vowed.
"Okay, I'll trust you one last time."
Zhang Qiyuan was very unhappy. He just wanted his salary, but it felt like he was begging the company. How could he have the mood to achieve results?
"Now, in addition to the issue of your salary, there is another matter. That is, our store will go to the headquarters to dance tomorrow. We need to decide what dance we will perform tomorrow?" Luo Gang glanced at Zhang Qiyuan and said cautiously.
"Dance?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan exploded, "I'm not dancing for a living. I'm going to take sick leave tomorrow. If you want to deduct my attendance, I'll deduct it. If you want to deduct my salary, I'll deduct it. Anyway, I'm not going."
"Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. But you still have to make some sales next month, otherwise I will be scolded at the store managers' meeting again. Just consider it for my face." Luo Gang pleaded.
"I'll try my best. It's not like I can just place an order like that. I have to have customers come to me." Zhang Qiyuan sighed.
Because of excessive paddling, he was expelled from the ship
