Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 90 [Not mentioning myself in every word, but talking about myself in every sentence]

In the supermarket hall, as Mr. Yu finished his speech, Xiao Yu walked to the center with another microphone. He said as he walked, "Yesterday I talked to CEO Lao Xu and asked him about his experience in Liancheng. He told me that stores across the country were deserted, but Pang Donglai's supermarket was packed with people, and business was booming."

"Old Xu told me that he occasionally saw a customer who drove 100 to 200 kilometers to Pangdonglai Supermarket just to stock up on some daily necessities for a healthy meal."

Mr. Yu on the side couldn't help but smile, but he didn't say anything and let Xiao Yu perform.

At this moment, Xiao Yu continued calmly and confidently: "Old Xu told me that when you go to Pangdonglai Supermarket, it means that you no longer need to look at the ingredient list of the product. All manufacturers who play word games here are rejected because Pangdonglai has its own professional food testing center."

"If you want to put your products on the shelves of Pangdonglai, you have to go to the testing room first. If they fail the test, they will be directly refused to be put on the shelves. You don't need to worry about whether they write the ingredients or the ingredient list. All you need to do is choose the products you like, and leave the rest to Pangdonglai. Although it is just a supermarket, which is what a company should do, it has become a benchmark in the industry."

At this point, Xiao Yu paused, paced back and forth for a while, then stopped and looked around at everyone: "There is a question I have been trying to figure out. Can a company still make a profit while fully guaranteeing workers' vacations and benefits? I think Lingjing Technology can definitely do it, but it is still not convincing enough because Lingjing Technology is a high-tech company with high added value and high profits."

Xiao Yu changed the subject: "But as a traditional retail company with low profit margins, Fat Donglai has conducted a social experiment for all of us, proving that even in a low-profit industry, companies can still make full profits and have surpluses while fully guaranteeing workers' vacations and benefits. This is more convincing than Lingjing Technology, and it also proves that the reason why workers are poor is not laziness but exploitation, and the essence of 996 is not the backwardness of productivity, but the greed of capital."

At this time, President Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "As the new richest man in the country, it is really precious for Brother Xiao to say such words."

Xiao Yu smiled leisurely, turned to look at everyone and said jokingly: "I heard that Mr. Yu 'crossed the line' a few months ago. I went to search for relevant information, and I agree that Mr. Yu 'crossed the line' a long time ago."

At this moment, Xiao Yu said in a serious tone, "For a boss who only has a dozen stores under him to have such a great influence and be scolded so harshly, he must have done something 'too much'. For example, he has too good control over the quality of goods, protects the rights of consumers, and pursues employee welfare. In the eyes of some people, this has long crossed the line, and crossed a big line."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xiao Yu didn't mention himself at all, but every sentence he spoke was about himself. Everyone knows that his series of operations starting with the "10 billion subsidies" to retail investors were much more drastic than Mr. Yu's "overstepping the line".

After a moment, Xiao Yu said in a serious tone: "Although Mr. Yu is also a famous entrepreneur, if someone scolds him, it can be considered as damaging the business environment. When other entrepreneurs are scolded, they will immediately say that you are damaging the business environment. Isn't this amazing?"

"It's okay to scold Mr. Yu. After all, it's really hard for Fat Donglai to move out. How can scolding him damage the environment?" When Xiao Yu said this, it immediately caused laughter in the room. Everyone suddenly felt that the boss had a talent for stand-up comedy.

President Yu felt a little embarrassed to be praised so highly in front of others, but he was also secretly happy to be recognized and acknowledged. President Yu could confidently say the things Xiao Yu said, but it would be more convincing when heard from someone else.

At this moment, Xiao Yu still said leisurely: "Mr. Yu's greatest strength is that he really practices the principle that those who get rich first will help those who get rich later. How many entrepreneurs also made such a solemn promise at the beginning, but what happened after they got rich? Oh, he ran too fast, and disappeared in a flash!"

Xiao Yu coordinated his body language and facial expressions with one hand: "If you ask him, what are you going to do about the issue of promoting the later rich? Hey, this is very difficult. The later rich can promote... promote... The later rich can promote, promote, promote, promote, promote, but they can't promote..."

"Hahaha--!"

Everyone present burst into laughter again. They realized that Xiao Yu was not only praising President Yu, but was also secretly praising himself.

He does not mention himself in every word, yet every sentence is related to himself.

At this time, Xiao Yu said cheerfully: "Mr. Yu is different, he really leads. Mr. Yu doesn't want to be the richest man. I don't think he can be the richest man, because the richest man is here." Xiao Yu pointed at himself as if he was the one who took on the responsibility, which made everyone present laugh again.

Xiao Yu then continued: "But, although Mr. Yu is not the richest man, he can allow his employees to pay the down payment locally without asking their families for money."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but cheer and gave warm applause.

Mr. Yu, who was also present, felt more and more that it was the right decision to come to Linzhou this time, and his confidence in bringing the Pangdonglai model to Linzhou to take root, sprout, and grow stronger and stronger.

Xiao Yu said again: "Then as the richest man, I should say that I must allow my employees to pay the down payment in Linzhou City with just their own salary, right?"

When everyone heard this, they cheered again and applauded continuously.

Xiao Yu made a gesture and everyone quickly quieted down. He added: "Even though Brother Donglai is not the richest man, he can still make his employees pay the down payment locally with their salaries. As for me, I want to dare to cross the line in front of Brother Donglai."

At this point, Xiao Yu tilted his head to glance at President Yu, then looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "Not only do I want my employees to be able to pay the down payment without asking their families for money, but they can also afford to buy a house in Linzhou with their salary alone, even if you are just a cleaner in a supermarket."

The crowd cheered again and applauded loudly.

Xiao Yu turned to look at Mr. Yu and said with a smile: "Brother, this is a cross-border, you don't mind, right?"

President Yu laughed out loud: "Haha, just go for it."

The atmosphere at the scene also became very relaxed and lively. After this little episode, Xiao Yu looked around at everyone again and said, "Today I officially announce that the retail supermarket business under Lingjing Technology will be fully handed over to the Pangdonglai team for training and guidance for the next period of time. We will follow the Pangdonglai model and Pangdonglai standards."

At last, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I invited Brother Donglai here this time. I hope everyone can learn from the advanced management philosophy of the Fat Donglai team with an open mind."

The employees present nodded repeatedly, and Xiao Yu continued: "The company's main business is very profitable. Even if the retail supermarket business is not profitable, the company can share some of the profits to maintain everyone's high wages without any pressure. But this is ultimately unsustainable and irregular, and it is not the result I want to see. If this is the case, why should I bother with all this? Wouldn't it be easier for you all to go home and take care of your children, and I will pay you wages regularly?"

"But this is obviously not advisable. What if the company's core business is not so profitable? Therefore, we still have to find a way to achieve sustainable development and be self-reliant, and the Pangdonglai model proves that there is such a way."

"In the early stages, I will ask the company to provide sufficient financial support for the retail supermarket business for a period of time, with the intention of giving it a hand, but it will not be a one-way financial support without a bottom line. Whether it can continue for a long time depends on the efforts of everyone present."

"I don't expect the retail supermarket business to bring much profit to the company. As long as you can achieve self-sustaining blood circulation without relying on the company's continuous blood transfusions, and have a net profit margin of 2-3 points, so that the company can continue to operate sustainably, that will be enough."
