Star Tycoon

Chapter 165 Signboard
At the end of August, a company meeting was held.

Zhang Shuya stood at the head of the meeting room.

The company recently hired another 100 people, all of whom were newly laid-off local wives and women in their late twenties who couldn't find work.

Young employees are difficult to manage, have high turnover rates, and are prone to dishonesty.

Tian Ersan did not make these people permanent employees, but instead made them contract workers for a year.

The 100 contract workers were selected from 20000 people. They were young and beautiful professional women who were over 1.7 meters tall, had good body management skills, excellent temperament, and a sense of obedience.

These people were put to cleaning work upon arrival, responsible for tasks such as sweeping the yard, washing cars, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning toilets, and changing diapers for children—essentially maid-like tasks.

They don't have the five social insurances and one housing fund, nor do they receive a year-end bonus, but they have all the benefits that others have, such as meals, snacks, and office space.

I can participate in meetings, but I just stand and listen.

"General Manager Tian will no longer attend the end-of-month meeting. Li Cuihua and Chu Hong will be attending a meeting outside. I will temporarily hold a meeting with people from various departments to discuss some matters."

Zhang Shuya has a low level of education and is considered to be at the lower end of the social hierarchy.

In particular, many of the contract workers who came in this time are college students, and some are rich second-generation heiresses from small counties with assets of millions, who have to find a stable job because of problems in their families.

However, Zhang Shuya and Tian Ersan have a close relationship, and the company doesn't have high educational requirements, so there's no problem for her to stand here.

"Our company continued to operate normally before the Lunar New Year, mainly tracking orders from businesses and monitoring orders and public opinion related to agricultural products and milk powder companies."

"Vice President Chu Hong will be in charge of the garment factory, and the AI ​​company will be developing in Beijing. According to President Tian's wishes, we will no longer be involved there."

Everyone else was quite surprised.

Qian Sisi asked, "The garment factory and the AI ​​company were invested in by General Manager Tian. He said he would give them to Vice President Li, and that's how it happened?"

Zhang Shuya nodded. "If they gave it to us, then they gave it to us. Vice President Li and President Tian have a very good relationship, and they are capable of running the garment factory well. Currently, our company's main businesses are agricultural products, milk powder, and game publishing."

Qian Sisi, Hua Linyan, and the others felt that Tian Ersan was too generous. How good must Chu Hong be in bed to make Tian Ersan trust her so much?

More than thirty women were filled with envy and jealousy, and just thinking about it made them want to lift their skirts in front of Tian Ersan.

Zhang Shuya continued, "There are many rumors about our company outside, some are true and some are false. You can get married if you're going to, and have boyfriends if you're going to, as long as it doesn't affect your work."

"Our company has been sending Bai Rongfang several cans of milk powder every month since she gave birth. It's considered an internal employee benefit. However, it's forbidden to use this to make money, and you're not allowed to do any favors for relatives. Stealing company property will result in immediate dismissal!"

“You’re here to work. You’ll be working anywhere else too. Don’t always think about selling the company for money. This company is your home for life. You’re not here for one or two years, you’re here for forty or fifty years, until you retire at fifty or sixty and collect your pension.”

"Don't expect your son, daughter, parents, or husband to take care of you when you're sick. It's President Tian and the company that will take care of you! If anyone gets sick, just tell the company, and they'll take you to see a doctor. Your parents, husband, and son can't do that."

"You all know how to treat General Manager Tian. He's very busy every day and rarely comes downstairs to bother you at work. He also doesn't take away your weekend relaxation time or your time with your families after get off work every night. If you feel that this job is too tiring or embarrassing, you should quit as soon as possible."

We know everything we need to know about this company.

During the interview, Ma Hui had already made some things clear: those who were accepted were the kind of people who had thought things through carefully and were single-mindedly determined to get in.

He quickly followed up with a report on specific figures.

***
At the end-of-month meeting of Tianli Group, the group's directors and experts gathered together.

Chairman Niu Licheng looked at everyone with a stern face. As the founder and chairman of Tianli Group, Niu Licheng personally built Tianli Group into a giant enterprise and accompanied its transformation from a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise and then to a joint-stock group.

Today, in addition to the chairman, there are professional managers, as well as state-owned shares and international capital.

Such a giant enterprise, as a leading enterprise, is not easily shaken.

But recently, things have been shaken.

I got kicked hard by two bastards whose average age is thirty!

Now everyone knows that Yi Xiannong has emerged from Zhongzhou.

The existence of Yi Xianong has severely impacted milk powder groups around the world, causing their assets to shrink by billions of dollars.

The group's investments in real estate and food and beverage businesses have all been halted by the banks!

Some things, once stopped, are not far from death.

Several major milk powder groups are trying to protect themselves by targeting those two scoundrels, but they just can't beat them.

Niu Licheng was in a very bad mood. "Since the 88 Shopping Festival, Tian Ersan has sold 18 million cans of milk powder, and Tiantian milk powder has sold 3 billion yuan worth of products!! Tian Ersan has earned 1 billion yuan in commissions alone!"

"There are 15 million newborns in the country. Each child needs four or five cans of formula per month. That's a market of 60 million cans per month! If you feed him all of that, he'll die from overeating!"

The other shareholders listened to Niu Licheng's words and quietly looked at the report in their hands.

Judging from the current situation, Tian Ersan can easily earn astonishing profits that no other company can.

He can earn over a billion yuan every month just by lying down, and then over 10 billion yuan a year!

He took all the profits from all the milk powder companies in the country.

This is even more monopolistic than a monopoly!!

But he made all the recipes and processes public, allowing everyone to compete freely.

One of the shareholder representatives asked, "What did the marketing department say?"

The marketing director quickly stood up to report the situation.

"Many overseas distributors are now importing Tiantian milk powder, including wealthy people from the Americas, Australia, Europe, and even the United States of America, who are ordering Tiantian milk powder."

Another domestic shareholder representative asked, "Can we leverage our production and cost advantages to wage a price war with 99-yuan milk powder?"

Generally speaking, large companies can wipe out small companies by engaging in price wars.

The marketing director said regretfully, "Tian Er San did a great marketing campaign. Now, Tian Tian milk powder has a small production volume and a low price. By using scarcity marketing, it is extremely popular in the high-end market. Some people are willing to buy it for 1,000 yuan a can." "Tian Tian milk powder is on the surface as a low-end milk powder, but in reality, it has been regarded as a high-end milk powder by wealthy groups. A price war has no impact on it. Even if Tian Tian milk powder sells for 1,000 yuan a can, there will be no shortage of consumers who have been brainwashed by the marketing."

“For those wealthy new groups, fifty cans a year would only cost 50,000 yuan. As long as the baby’s food safety can be guaranteed, this amount of money is nothing.”

Niu Licheng retorted angrily, "Our milk powder is clearly safer! The ingredients and nutritional components are the same, and it's made using the same processes and technologies. Moreover, our cows are healthier and more natural than those in Zhongzhou!"

Everyone understood Niu Licheng's anger.

They're all selling the same thing; you can't taste any difference between the two types of milk powder.

Soon, a foreign representative said, "Consumers trust Tiantian milk powder more. I know many people who have money but no way to buy Tiantian milk powder. I asked them, and these foreigners and wealthy overseas Chinese do not know Tian Er San. They buy milk powder because of Yi Xiannong."

“My friends don’t care about the price, and they don’t care about brands or merchants, but they are willing to trust a scientist who would risk his life to guarantee the safety of a product.”

"Moreover, many foreign scientists were deeply moved by Professor Yi's experience and had a blind trust in his products."

"This is not a price war issue. Even if they are all the same, as long as the packaging is different, people will still choose Tiantian milk powder which is one yuan more expensive."

Everyone else fell silent, even Niu Licheng had nothing to say.

Whether it's safe or not is for everyone to judge.

This matter has little to do with Tian Ersan.

Yi Xiannong's saintly, selfless scientist persona, along with his courage and confidence to risk his life, makes wealthy people willing to pay a premium for security.

Other big companies can't do these things, and no matter how much the experts and celebrities they hire guarantee it, everyone just treats it as empty talk.

For 51 years, Yi Xiannong has remained unassuming and selfless, quietly pursuing scientific and technological advancements in his small village to benefit the local people.

After developing the technology, he chose to open-source it, choosing a way to prove himself that could withstand the test of everyone.

He became famous overnight!

After gaining fame, he refused all honors and donations, and continued to quietly focus on safety production in village enterprises.

Our original aspiration remains unchanged; we are still 100.

Whether you're rich or poor, powerful or powerless, everyone believes in this.

Even if they verbally slander them, they still secretly buy them at high prices.

Putting aside other things, if any of you executives here had a newborn child, would you buy your own brand of formula or buy a similar brand like Tiantian?

Everyone knows the true state of their own property.

Even the leaders and powerful figures within their own family no longer believe in their own products.

Very few of them can withstand scrutiny; any investigation will inevitably uncover problems.

If something goes wrong, they just fine them a little money and that's it. Who would believe them?

The more you understand, the more disappointed you become.

The wealthier people are, the less they believe the nonsense spouted by the major milk powder companies.

No matter how nicely they talked, they still secretly bought foreign baby formula.

These days, the Tiantian milk powder that's available every Monday at noon disappears in an instant; rich people just want peace of mind.

Tian Ersan and Yi Xiannong saved the domestic milk powder industry and made Chinese people believe in domestic milk powder again.

Given that Yi Xianong has ruined the international market, the Yijiazhuang production base has been protected to prevent any further incidents.

Everyone in the conference room knew that the main influence this time lay with Yi Xiannong.

Someone suggested, "Could we invite Yi Xiannong to be our group's security consultant? We could offer him a salary of one billion yuan. Giving the money to Professor Yi is better than giving it to Tian Ersan."

Someone quickly countered, "We tried it, it didn't work."

"Professor Yi is not short of money at all, and has no interest in anything outside of work and research."

"He owns 99 percent of the shares. He gives Tian Er San a commission based on 51 orders of Tian Tian milk powder produced, and the remaining 50 percent is invested in production and raising employee wages. He pays himself 10,000 yuan a month, mainly to buy books and some crop seeds."

“He doesn’t care about business matters and refuses to cooperate with others. He spends his days supervising production and learning. He has repeatedly refused our invitations. Even schools in Beijing couldn’t persuade him to come. He refuses all honors and does not participate in the formulation of national dairy industry standards.”

Niu Licheng sighed, "He doesn't participate in standard setting, but now he is the standard."

"He refused the honors, but he had already been honored long ago."

Everyone knows that people like Yi Xiannong are already representatives of national image projects.

If Yi Xiannong were to be hit by a car and die right now, he would immediately be deified.

Some people found it increasingly strange. "He studies dairy cows and is also a professor of agriculture. There aren't many experts and professors like him in China. How come no one discovered him before? This kind of person can't just appear out of thin air."

The Human Resources Minister explained, "The officials in Taoyuan County have problems. It's as if they have a grudge against capable people and deliberately put them on the sidelines."

Niu Licheng frowned. "Who are these people? What are they thinking?"

Regardless of what others think, the Chengbang Group brand is already widely known.

Chengbang Shopping's core values ​​are sincerity, safety, simplicity, and peace of mind.

Whether it's an iPhone, baby formula, or various daily necessities and snacks.

They all operate on a fixed price; you see the price and that's how much you pay, and everyone pays the same price.

Get a full refund if you're not satisfied with your purchase, and only one type of each item is available, so you don't need to go back and forth to choose.
