C1009 Sedation
Qiu Tong's brows were still knitted tightly, but she appeared very calm. She looked at the station chiefs and said: "Everyone, since everyone has spoken like this, then I know that no matter how much logic I tell Boss Yi to stay, it will be useless. Even if I keep you all here, it will not be enough to keep those Publisher s alive. If that's the case, then I don't want to say more, and I don't want to say any more pleasantries. Everyone has their own aspirations, so I can't force you to leave.
Groups and companies can't and won't take out the money from Metropolitan News to increase your treatment. This doesn't conform to the rules of the market, unless the group wants to kill the chicken to get the egg, unless the company intends to go bankrupt. However, neither the group nor the company have such plans. We still need to develop, and we need to develop even better.
I want to tell you that, no matter how we split up, Boss Yi and I will thank you for your support and help during our time together. We will thank you for your indelible contributions to our company and group.
Without everyone, there wouldn't be the city release today, and there wouldn't be the great situation of the company today. Boss Yi and I sincerely hope that everyone can have a better income, family can have a better life, hope that everyone's life will be happy and happy.
People walk to higher places, water flows to lower places, I don't object to your choice, I respect your choice, no matter where you go, Boss Yi and I will treat you as friends. After all, everyone has worked together and fought together, so I will miss that period of time. I hope that what I have left behind for everyone is good memories.
Qiu Tong's words were spoken with sincerity.
The stationmaster's eyes were red. He looked up at Qiu Tong, ashamed and speechless.
Although they were deeply moved and ashamed by Qiu Tong's words, no one refused to leave.
It seemed that the power of money could overcome emotions.
Furthermore, even if some of them could stay, even if all eight of them could stay, what about the Publisher? What about the more than 400 Publisher s? How many of them could stand such a huge temptation?
Qiu Tong smiled. "You can go back first. I hope everyone will take the last shift and finish the rest of the work in the next few days!"
They all stood up and nodded with all their might: "Don't worry, we will definitely do the last few days of work, and we will definitely cooperate fully in the handover."
Then, all at once, they all stood together and bowed three times deeply to Qiu Tong and me.
Then, they left. As they left, someone was still wiping away their tears.
After they left, I said to Qiu Tong, "What's the use of you talking so much nonsense with them in the end? It's just a bunch of blind money. I am really blind, why didn't I see that these people were so virtuous and those Publisher s were all ungrateful.
Qiu Tong looked at me calmly. "Don't say that about them. We have to learn to think differently. Think about it, if we were in their place, at their level, doing the lowest part of society every day, without social status, without human dignity, without dreamy spring, just to earn a living and work every day, would you not be tempted to suddenly have such a well-paid position before you?
100 thousand, was the equivalent of the average salary of a station head for more than two years, and 10 thousand, was the equivalent of the average income of a Publisher for five months. They could not see any political future in the group, and their status could never change. As the elders, they were also the lowest ranked members of the group, and they understood their own situation, so other than making money to support their families, what else could they have?
You can't have higher expectations of them. They are just ordinary laborers, and their thinking is the most ordinary of all, with survival as the first priority. I think that if you and I had been in their shoes, we might have been tempted. It wasn't a pretence of nobility, it was the bare minimum of survival. It was a fact that when a person fought for the sake of survival, he would lose his basic dignity as a human. You can't expect more from them, you have to understand them. "
I didn't say anything, but I felt that Qiu Tong's words made a lot of sense.
However, even if Qiu Tong's words made sense, what should I do? What should Qiu Tong do? Are we just going to wait for the blame and resign?
My teeth ached, and I paced back and forth restlessly.
Qiu Tong remained silent, as if she was deep in thought.
I stopped in front of Qiu Tong. "What are you thinking?"
Qiu Tong raised her head, looked at me, and lightly sighed. "I'm thinking about why Metropolitan News would do this. What is the purpose of their actions?"
"It's very obvious that they want to create a new newspaper. If they want to establish a new newspaper in Hsinghai, they first need to set up a distribution team, and since their current distribution team is short of staff, they want to poach us. Our team can immediately poach them for use, and they also have a lot of old customers with them. "Most of our old customers will become their new customers. For them, it won't take much effort to get a skilled distribution team, and they can also bring in a lot of customers. Killing two birds with one stone!" "No," I said.
"But, their investments are just too huge, one station chief is 100 thousand, 8 is 800 thousand, and one Publisher is 10 thousand, 400 is 4 million. Including the double salary that they promised Publisher, the total amount of money spent is close to 15 million more than what the normal distribution funds would normally provide. For a newly-established newspaper, this is unimaginable, it greatly surpasses the distribution cost, and there has never been a newly-established newspaper in the country that promises such high treatment to the Publisher.
Even if it were a good newspaper, it wouldn't have done that. It would have been suicide, unless he was planning to launch a new newspaper that would never be profitable and would have to be heavily funded." However, doing so was obviously not in accordance with the law of the market. So, I think it's very strange, and it doesn't seem logical. " Qiu Tong said with a frown.
After listening to Qiu Tong's analysis, I nodded. "That's right. This is very illogical and does not conform with the rules of the market!"
"There must be a problem!" Qiu Tong said, "I'm even worried."
"What are you worried about?" "No," I said.
"I'm worried that their goal might not be the same as what you've analyzed!"2
"Then what is their purpose?" "No," I said.
Qiu Tong stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and said, "Their goal is to destroy us, to use the chaos of our delivery to disrupt our market, and then they can seize our market share."
I looked at Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong turned around and looked at me. "Think about it, they have their own distribution team now, so even if they need to add a new newspaper, it shouldn't be that they need to add 400 people all of a sudden. At most, 100 people would be enough.
I think this way, will they do this and poach all of our people in the city, with high bonuses and the name of Gao Xin, then naturally, they will be able to get all the details of our subscribers in the city. With these details, they will be able to get hold of our family's foundation, and can use their own Publisher to snatch away our subscribers.
Even if we take the second and third step according to the plan we set, even if we cannot be paralyzed, there would be a very high complaint rate, which would have a huge negative impact on the reputation of our newspapers. The people from those groups and organs would go to deliver the newspapers, don't expect them to reach the Publisher in time, it is very possible that a large area of distribution would not be in place, thus their goal is achieved.
After that, they will at most redeem the bonuses of 100 thousand and 10 thousand. After the great chaos has been settled and the negative effects have been caused, they will go back on their words and not honor the promise of doubling the wages of the Publisher and the Station Master, or make good on it for a few months, leaving behind a few backbone members. Most people will find excuses to start and get rid of them one by one, because they do not need that many Publisher at all. At this point, our new distribution team should have already been established, and all of the Publisher s that were eliminated by them have lost their jobs. "
I nodded. "Analysis makes sense! "Indeed, it's very possible!"
"At the same time, with such a big problem, you naturally can't continue to work for the Issuing Company boss, otherwise, you won't be able to explain yourself within the group. They even took the opportunity to get rid of a strong competitor, and I, am also responsible for that. Qiu Tong said again.
"This is a matter where loved ones love their enemies!" "No," I said.
Qiu Tong continued to frown. "And even if they do that, they still need to spend a lot of money. That's no less than 5 million!" 5 million is a huge amount of expenditure for a newly established newspaper. Generally speaking, when you create a new newspaper, along with the administrative publication of the staff, the amount of capital invested in the earlier period wouldn't exceed 5 million. And they haven't even created a newspaper yet, yet they've spent 5 million just for this.
They all run according to the rules of the market, so it's impossible for them to come up with such a huge sum of money just for the publication of a new newspaper or to dig out the details of each other's customers. This sum of money is not worth it, even in the long run, it's not worth it. Furthermore, I know that the recent two years of Metropolitan News have not been very beneficial to us as a result of our competition.
This puzzled me. I don't know why they did it, I don't know where they paid for it, or why they did it in a way that seemed suicidal within the industry. "Could it be that they made a windfall and received generous sponsorship from some social organization or business owner?"
Listening to Qiu Tong's words, I focused on thinking.
Qiu Tong also stopped talking, frowning as she continued to ponder.
It seems that the fate of both of us would be a matter of life and death in this contemplation.
My mind gradually broadened as I thought about everything from multiple angles. Combined with a series of recent anomalies, I continuously analyzed and judged from different stakeholders.
Qiu Tong's last words hovered in my mind for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in my mind and my heart suddenly lit up.
I seemed to have thought of the crux of the matter, of course, but it only seemed so.
Even though it seemed so, it made my mind clear and I could see the light of hope once more.
I jerked my head up at Qiu Tong, and my brow relaxed.
Qiu Tong looked at me and said nothing.
"Don't worry about it!" "No," I said.
"Why?" Qiu Tong said.
"Don't ask why? I'll take care of the rest of the things. It's done, I'll tell you! " "No," I said.
