Chapter 810 The Bottom Line of Capitalists: Don’t Make Money that Is Stained with Blood
Li Jiwei did not deny what Wu Feng said.
"Of course, we can still make money, but the profit for us is actually not high anymore. If we want to increase the profit, there are only two ways."
Having said this, Li Jiwei paused and said:
“First, like Moufeng, increase the delivery speed and then increase the delivery fee.
Although it is definitely not possible to eat the biggest cake in the express delivery industry - e-commerce parcels, the profit is still the highest because of the high unit price.
But this road is too difficult. You may not know that in order to improve the speed of spare parts and the quality of service, Moufeng decided to take all franchise points back to direct operation in 2003, so that franchise points in various places will receive wages.
Although I am willing to give money, the original franchise store's income is not low, but three years have passed and it has not been completed yet.
There has been a lot of backlash from various places, and some have even spoken out to find trouble with their founders, as this involves personal safety.
It is said that the founder of Moufeng has hired a group of bodyguards to be responsible for the safety of him and his family.
However, this road is very difficult for express delivery. "
Li Jiwei's words stunned Wu Feng and Chen Changliu. They rarely paid attention to matters in the express delivery industry, so they really didn't know about it.
But think about it, this is still an era of barbaric growth, so it is very normal for this kind of thing to happen.
"Lao Li, what's there to be afraid of? Even if you really take this path, what can your franchise points do to you? The worst thing you can do is ask Lao Zeng and ask them to arrange a few more bodyguards for you.
Tsk tsk tsk, with these people who have been trained by Zhongan Security in Africa by my side, I am very safe. "
Seeing the careless and joking Wu Feng, Li Jiwei and Chen Changliu gave him the middle finger.
"Go away, you idiot, did I say I was afraid of this?
The reason why it is difficult for Suda to take this path is because our initial model and the direction we chose determined that we could not take it.
Since the establishment of the company, the main focus has been on e-commerce platform orders. If you want to follow the path of Moufeng, the investment is too large, and it may not be successful, so the gains outweigh the losses of taking this path. "
This time Wu Feng nodded in agreement. It was just a joke. Now he is no longer the same Wu Feng as before. This can still be seen.
"Well, that's true. So what's the second way you mentioned?"
“It’s very simple, just be a bottomless capitalist, crazily exploit the couriers at the bottom, formulate some unreasonable systems, and impose crazy fines and deductions.
Anyway, there are many people in the country, and if you don’t want to do this, others will fill in the gap. "
As soon as these words came out, Wu Feng became dumbfounded, because these words were a bit heavy. He had never thought that running a business could be done so without a bottom line.
Chen Changliu didn't really have much expression, because he had seen too many such things.
Later generations of netizens have listed several companies that are shameless and exploit bottom-level employees without any bottom line. They are undoubtedly not well-known companies.
And these companies all have one thing in common, that is, they crazily exploit the employees at the bottom, no, it should be said to be the so-called outsourced personnel.
Shifting all the contradictions to consumers and low-level employees, while eating the hard-earned money of three parties, can be said to be more cruel than the capitalists in capitalist society.
Although Chen Changliu was not engaged in any of these industries in his previous life, it still did not prevent him from spurning these capitalists who had no bottom line.
The express delivery industry is also one of the hardest-hit areas. There was once an express delivery company that imposed crazy fines on couriers and delivery sites. As a result, while the profits of the entire industry continued to decline, it grew against the trend.
Chen Changliu did not express his opinion, but looked at Li Jiwei quietly. He did not expect that Li Jiwei could see so far now.
Li Jiwei stood up, walked to the side, picked up a bottle of red wine, and opened it himself. Neither Chen Changliu nor Wu Feng disturbed him during the whole process.
When Li Jiwei poured a glass of red wine for both of them, the three of them looked at each other and drank it in one gulp. Then Li Jiwei exhaled a long breath:
“I admit that capitalists will exploit the bottom wherever they go. After all, the purpose of starting a company is to make money.
But without a bottom line and without the pressure of shame, I still can’t do it.
Although I can't hold shares for all the people like Changliu, I'm not that kind of black-hearted person.
Although this is just my personal prediction of the future development direction of the express delivery industry and may not be correct, it has affected my confidence in the express delivery industry.
So Changliu, Wufeng, I now have an idea, that is, when Suda Express reaches a certain stage of growth, we will sell it at a high price. It is better to go into other industries. "
Chen Changliu smiled after hearing Li Jiwei's words.
This is one of the reasons why I have been able to maintain such a good relationship with Wu Feng and Li Jiwei, because they still have a bottom line and their three views are still positive.
Just like a certain commercial real estate boss in later generations, many people ridiculed him for selling and selling in order to save himself, but Chen Changliu felt that he was better than most bosses in the country.
He does not run away from society and has fulfilled his responsibilities as a business owner.
For employees, the salary of his employees is relatively competitive in the same industry, even compared with major Internet companies with relatively high salaries.
As he said, if you spend so much money on fake charity, you might as well think about how to raise wages for your employees. This is what a business owner should do.
Although Li Jiwei and Wu Feng don't dare to say that they can do this, they are at least unwilling to be vampires lying on the backs of their employees.
"Okay, I support you, Brother Li. Now that we have reached this point, happiness is the most important thing. Even if we are running a business, we must follow our own hearts. Otherwise, it is unnecessary to run a business with frustration.
I also agree with your point of view, that is, making money is not shabby, but we don't make some money with blood. We still have to keep the most basic moral bottom line and conscience."
Hearing Chen Changliu's approval of his idea, Li Jiwei smiled. This is a brother.
"Hey, you two are so disgusting, hey!
Old Li, you said a lot of life philosophy, why don't you think about our entertainment company.
Hey, I signed a few new people, but there is no business for them. I am under great pressure! I don't dare to go to the entertainment company now."
"Puchi..."
Wu Feng's words made Chen Changliu and Li Jiwei laugh directly. This guy has been energetic recently and often goes to the entertainment company.
He definitely got the advantage, but he felt a little embarrassed that he didn't have any resources to give to others, and he didn't have any connections in the entertainment industry at all.
Li Jiwei pointed at him and laughed and scolded:
"Damn, you made my entertainment company a mess, no, I will fire you as the vice president when I go back."
Wu Feng said with a bitter face:
"I can fire you, but you have to find some resources back, otherwise you will be a person who doesn't keep his word?"
Looking at Wu Feng who was pretending to adjust the atmosphere, Li Jiwei pointed at Chen Changliu speechlessly and said:
"You idiot, Changliu is here but you come to me instead, hum, don't you think about what other women do now."
