If you really resist to the end, that's even better. You just need to take the basic share honestly, and we will take the extra share with joy.

As for the problems caused by the relative decline in employee benefits in these chambers of commerce, they don't mind helping to solve them.

Ok.

As for how to solve it, that is another matter.

As a result, they did not expect that these people, despite being at a disadvantage as latecomers, actually used the tactic of excessive concessions, and stopped the problem of employee turnover by killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of their own, and even directly surpassed their ranking.

"How dare they? Huh? How dare he?!"

Even if you want to solve the problem of employee turnover, can't you just get on par with us? Why do you want to surpass us by such a large margin?

Why don't you follow everyone's pace?

"This is a betrayal of Liyue's great merchants! They are unworthy of their status as great merchants!"

The person who was speaking was spitting everywhere, accusing these unethical kings of rolling the dice.

"Stop scolding him, stop scolding him. Even if you scold him from night to day, and then from day to night, can you scold him to death? Or can you scold him back from the decision he made?"

The man next to him leaned back in his chair and waved his hand feebly.

"Wake up, the matter is done. It's a done deal."

He is also tired.

Everyone had already made their plans and found the most cost-effective solution, but you came along and messed up everyone's plans.

He was sure that the plan being implemented by this group of people now would definitely not be as good as theirs in terms of return on investment.

As for whether he would make more or less profit than if they had honestly fallen behind, he had no idea.

The specific data is also confidential to these companies, and there is also the difficult-to-quantify factor of discourse power.

"So what do we do now? How do we respond?"

Another person raised a question of his own.

"What can we do? If we are willing to fall behind, then all our previous investment will be in vain. The sunk cost is too high. I can't afford it anyway."

"..."

The meeting room fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other, but no one responded.

Everyone heard that his subtext was that he wanted to follow.

After a while, they just stood up and bowed to each other as a farewell.

The group dispersed in silence.

As for what they are thinking, only they themselves know.

Anyway, the next day, the first group of chambers of commerce in Liyue Harbor that participated in the salary increase raised their welfare benefits for the second time.

This time, it just happened to outweigh the second batch of increases.

Several companies that joined the battlefield later:?

That afternoon, these companies also raised their prices for the second time. The amount of increase was not much, but it just happened to outweigh the adjustments made in the morning.

It's very lively with the coming and going on both sides.

Chapter 61: Disgraceful

For the workers in Liyue Harbor, this is undoubtedly the best news.

Their income is increasing almost on a daily basis.

The top chambers of commerce are fighting each other and giving them concessions, which is a good deal for the low-level workers like them.

These days are becoming more and more hopeful!

While thanking Qixing for his efforts, they were also planning how to spend the Mora they had obtained.

But for those small chambers of commerce, it was a disaster.

Their profits are not as high as those of the top chambers of commerce, and the previous actions they were forced to follow have already caused them to bleed heavily.

Fortunately, despite the bleeding, they still made some small profits.

Now these big guys are raising the prices one after another. Isn’t this asking for their death?

They also face the same problems as those who chose to struggle in the first place.

If he doesn't mention it, all his employees will run away.

Those big chambers of commerce are still expanding their recruitment.

Those who do odd jobs can be recruited again, but if all the skilled old employees run away, how can they continue to work?

But one difference between them and the big chambers of commerce is that if they bring it up again, they will lose money.

Although they don't understand what those big shots at the top are doing, it has nothing to do with them.

Those big shots who can change the situation will not share the money they make with them.

How to do?

Some people choose to give up and do nothing at the beginning, just living one day at a time.

Some people cursed Qixing in their hearts while keeping up with the pace of salary increase.

Some people are still waiting and watching.

And as time goes by, it's not just these small businesses that will find it difficult.

The big chambers of commerce can no longer bear the speed of burning money.

The frequency and intensity of the adjustments made by people on both sides began to decline.

I really can't hold it anymore.

They are actually already losing money.

The expected income is no longer enough to cover the investment, and the expenses are not enough to cover the income.

But both sides are still gritting their teeth and holding on.

The reason is simple: the sunk costs are too high.

And getting higher and higher.

Only by defeating the opponent and taking a share for ourselves can we make up for a considerable part of the losses.

The most important thing is to take up this share first, otherwise the money will be wasted.

As for the lost Mora...

There are many ways.

For example, the simplest and most brutal one is to significantly increase prices on the grounds of rising labor costs.

可能工人的工资从30万摩拉涨到了45万摩拉,涨幅高达50%,那他们就让人们所需要购买的生活必需品的价格也上涨50%,从300摩拉上涨到450摩拉。

They still make a lot of money.

At most, the Golden House needs to issue more Mora.

The most urgent task is to grab market share first!

With this mentality, the internal conflicts among the major chambers of commerce in Liyue are still continuing at a low intensity.

The news quickly reached the Chasm. Although there was some delay, the Seven Stars still learned about the fierce and unusual business competition in Liyue Harbor.

In response to the abnormal commercial competition in Liyue Harbor, the Seven Stars held a special meeting in addition to deploying the sealing array.

If this situation is allowed to continue, those small chambers of commerce will not be able to bear it, and it may even cause some new troubles.

The other seven stars came to discuss the problem, and Ningguang did have an idea in mind.

The development of events took the direction she had expected with a low probability.

Although the probability of occurrence is small, she still took it into consideration and formulated a development direction for the relevant plan.

Seeing that the good here is more powerful than the evil, Ningguang also thinks that it is necessary to cool them down.

There was no quarrel at the meeting held by the Seven Stars. Ningguang came up and directly explained her ideas and specific methods for solving the problem, which won unanimous approval from the Seven Stars.

"Then let's do it this way."

"it is good."

Seeing that the other seven stars agreed, Ningguang directly called for Bai Xiao, the secretary she had brought to the Abyss.

"Go, tell Ganyu to release the second phase plan in advance. By the way, please tell Ganyu a few words for me."

Ningguang motioned Baixiao to come closer and whispered a few words into Baixiao's ear.

Bai Xiao nodded, then turned and left.

Ningguang's order was quickly transmitted back to Liyue Harbor.

Soon, Liyue Yujingtai, Yuehaiting and the General Affairs Department jointly issued a document and issued a "price increase limit order".

Don't get me wrong, this does not restrict chambers of commerce from increasing their employees' salaries and benefits.

Qixing is not stupid enough to do something that would get him drowned in spit.

The "price limit order" limits the price increase in Liyue.

Use the market price increases of previous years as a benchmark to limit "abnormal" large price increases.

It will take effect from the date of public announcement and the end time will be notified separately.

This was originally intended as a means to prevent a backlash from several major families after the bidding was over.

It’s just that now, facing the abnormally inward-looking market, it is released in advance.

Compared with limiting price increases, the "price limit order" issued at this time has greater statement significance than its legal significance.

As soon as the "price increase limit order" came out, the families that were in a state of panic immediately calmed down.

It doesn't matter that they are making a lot of money now. Not to mention making less profit, they will even endure it by competing at a loss. As long as they wait for the bidding to end, they have plenty of ways to reap the rewards from other sources.

Aren’t they the ones who have the final say on Liyue’s market anyway?

If you control the market, are you still worried about not making money?

Now the "price increase limit order" has been issued.

This is a statement from the Seven Stars:

Almost done.

The Seven Stars will not support them in making up for it from other places.

In this case, they have to weigh the extent of their efforts on their own, as they cannot make up for the losses they suffer.

The problem is, they have invested so much before and the improvement is so great, they are bound to suffer losses.

We can't withdraw the decision, and we can't let them make the money back. How can this be possible?

The eight furious families immediately put aside their previous internal hostility and united to go to Yuehai Pavilion to seek an explanation.

Since Qixing is not in Liyue Harbor, Ganyu, the secretary general of Yuehaiting, is almost the person with the highest authority.

"Lord Ganyu, we are here to protest."

"That's right. Whether or not the price of a commodity goes up depends entirely on the supply and demand relationship in the market. It's normal for prices to go up and down. When supply is tight, it's inevitable that prices will go up. Seven Stars can't make the final decision, right?"

"Yes, and the labor costs in the market are rising very fast. Seven Stars doesn't allow us to raise prices, but we can't just sit back and eat up all the savings, right?"

"We believe that this is the Seven Stars interfering with the freedom of market trade activities. The subsequent impact on Liyue Port's trade activities will be immeasurable. Please think twice before acting!"

Through the pile of documents on the desk, Ganyu looked at the people who came forward to express their dissatisfaction.

He was polite on the surface, but every word he said was sharp.

Some people play the victim and say that the economy will be depleted, while others say that it is a market behavior when they open their mouths and that they are interfering with market freedom when they keep silent.

The red and white faces are all here.
