Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Cooperation Chapter 388 Cooperation Mengyu added, "Also, report any findings to me, and you’ll get a ten yuan bonus for each report." Ah Xin looked at Mengyu with a strange expression, "Aren’t you just taking pity on us and creating jobs to help us out?" Mengyu really wanted to roll her eyes, such an unlovable child. She forgot that this "child" she mentioned was the same age as her. "You’re overthinking it. The mastermind behind this person is really malicious. This task actually comes with some danger. Otherwise, I wouldn’t offer such compensation. You must be careful not to let anyone discover that you’re watching her." Ah Xin, discontented, asked, "Don’t you trust me?" "If I didn’t trust you, why would I come to you? Besides, I have another business proposition for you." "Cooperation?" Ah Xin was a bit puzzled; tasks like surveillance they could easily handle. But for cooperation, he really didn’t know what he could offer to collaborate with Mengyu on. "Let’s get one thing straight—I’m not doing anything related to stealing," Ah Xin quickly stated. Mengyu almost felt like cursing, "I defended you when you were wrongly accused of stealing back then, and this is how you see me?" Ah Xin finally showed an awkward smile, "I’m just taking precautions." "Here’s the deal," Mengyu explained her plan to start a waste recycling company. "This way, the younger children can continue to pick up trash, while the older kids can collect waste. The more, the better, especially the older items. I’ll give each of you a monthly wage of 20 yuan." Upon hearing the monthly wage of 20 yuan, Ah Xin’s eyes widened in surprise. Clearly, the wage Mengyu offered was beyond his expectations. But before he could speak, Mengyu continued, "That’s just the base salary. The compensation I offer you will be in three parts. The first is the base salary of 20 yuan each month; The second part is calculated from the items collected. My purpose for starting the recycling company is to collect antiques. If you find any, once I confirm them, I will pay according to their age. One hundred yuan for items over a hundred years old, one thousand yuan for over a thousand years, ten thousand yuan for over ten thousand years, and so on." Ah Xin was a bit confused, "But how can we be sure of their age?" They clearly wouldn’t know how to determine the age since they were just children; it would be hard for them to recognize what counted as an antique. If someone were to bring them an item claiming it’s an antique, how could they tell? Mengyu replied: "I will be able to confirm that, so you will have to trust my appraisal." Ah Xin was still puzzled, "But wouldn’t the purchase price of such things be high? How do we set a buying price?" Mengyu nodded, "That’s the third part of the salary I mentioned. If you guys collect old items with very little money, I will give you a ten percent rebate on the value of the item, depending on the situation. Of course, you’ll also have to trust me on this, as I can’t have every item appraised." "In addition, when you collect items, you must do so according to the prices I set. For example, when collecting old silverware, gold and silver figurines on children’s hats, gold and silver chains on women’s aprons, or gold and silver jade bracelets etc., we’ll base it on weight, Silver at one yuan per ten grams. Gold at twenty yuan per gram. For common items, I will make a price list based on the item for you to follow when collecting. If you come across real antiques and the seller asks for a high price, notify me to handle the purchase, but you will still get your commission." "To ensure your safety, I will teach you basic martial arts, so your future safety is also protected." As she spoke, she casually bent a metal IV stand in the hospital room and then straightened it. "See for yourself?"
