Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

"Mr. Yang, I'd like to raise the wages of the entry-level employees at Guoke Electric Vehicles!"

I was surprised to learn that Xiong Zheng had flown all the way from Chongqing to Beijing specifically to raise the salaries of Guoke's employees.

Yang Yunsheng was filled with emotion for a moment.

But raising wages isn't something that can be done on a whim.

Because compared to other companies in the same industry, the salary offered by Guokr Electric Vehicles is already very high.

In 2015, the average worker could earn 5000 to 6000 yuan.

This number, "Young Master," is no joke.

Other car manufacturers are priced at around 4000.

At most, it's close to five thousand.

Also, don't forget that Chongqing is also known as the mountain city.

Even in 2025, some companies and individuals will still be earning 2,100 or even 2,500 a month.

There are quite a few people who want to do this job.

So don't think that five or six thousand is a small amount in 2015.

To put it simply, even ten years from now, employees in the same companies in Chongqing will only be able to earn roughly the same wages.

If you absolutely need something a bit higher, then it's Seres.

Apart from Seres, ordinary employees can earn seven or eight thousand, while others in the same company are still hovering around four or five thousand.

In other words, Guokr's current wages have already surpassed those of its competitors ten years from now.

At this moment, Xiong Zheng is still demanding a raise for his employees.

This guy really cares about his employees.

Yang Yunsheng then said, "Raising wages is no small matter. There are several thousand workers at Guoke Electric Vehicles. If wages are raised, a large sum of money will be spent."

Xiong nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Mr. Yang, Guoke is currently operating on two shifts, with the factory running 24 hours a day without stopping. For three consecutive months, many people haven't had a single day off. They are truly working hard, and their work is very diligent. Giving them a raise is necessary and will further motivate them."

Yang Yunsheng understood that no one works for money!

Being able to earn more money will definitely motivate them to work more.

Another thing is that just a few days ago there was news about some people crawling like dogs in the square in order to avoid being fired from their companies!

So, the overall environment isn't good.

Yang Yunsheng agreed in his heart, but still asked a question on purpose.

"So, if we're going to raise salaries, how much do you think would be a good amount?"

Upon hearing that Yang Yunsheng was willing to raise employee wages, Xiong Zheng's face lit up with joy.

"How about a thousand?"

"One thousand dollars?"

One thousand US dollars is equivalent to seven thousand yuan.

While their work certainly deserves that much money, it wouldn't be good to simply double their wages.

Xiong Zheng was also stunned. What? A thousand US dollars?!

He said it himself, it's 1,000 RMB!

Xiong Zheng said with a wry smile, "Mr. Yang, I didn't mean one thousand US dollars, I meant one thousand RMB!"

Yang Yunsheng was just joking. He said, "How about this, 1,000 RMB is too little. Let's increase it to 1,500. Also, tell them that we'll give them an extra 2,000 for their families during the Chinese New Year, as a kind of company consolation money."

In fact, many companies only offer condolence money to middle and senior management.

What does this mean? It means that every year when the company gives employees their annual leave during the Chinese New Year, they receive a sum of money as a way of thanking their families for nurturing such talent for the company.

Guokr only started this year, while many companies already had it before.

However, although many companies had this policy before, ordinary employees couldn't get it. When Xiong Zheng left, he was quite arrogant and proud.

I thought that was the end of it.

Yang Yunsheng also began to busy himself with his own affairs.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, Xiong Zheng made a video call to Yang Yunsheng.

During the video call, Xiong Zheng's brows were furrowed.

Even dark circles have appeared under her eyes.

When Yang Yunsheng saw Xiong Zheng's appearance, he thought to himself, "He probably went to the Hongding Club again!"

Although the Red Top Club is no ordinary place, it's not a place you can just go to randomly.

Watch out, Uncle Hat might arrest you.

With a slight smile, Yang Yunsheng said, "Brother Xiong, you're only thirty years old, and your dark circles are quite pronounced. I suggest you take some time to strengthen your body. I have two wild ginseng roots from Changbai Mountain here; I'll have someone deliver them to you."

Such valuable items definitely cannot be sent!
What should I do if something goes wrong when I send it out?

Instead of doing that, it would be best to see who is going on a business trip to Chongqing and send the goods to Xiong Zheng.

When Xiong Zheng heard Yang Yunsheng's teasing, he could only smile wryly.

"Mr. Yang, it has nothing to do with that! It's because of Guokr, and I'm swamped with work right now, trying to raise employee salaries!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yunsheng wore a strange expression.

"What's going on? Why is it such a hassle just because of a pay raise? Shouldn't a raise be a good thing for employees? Do they think it's not enough?"

Xiong Zheng shook his head and said, "How could the employees feel it's too little? When they heard that they were going to get a raise, they were practically beaming with joy."

Yang Yunsheng was a little confused. If it wasn't a problem with the employees, could it be a problem with Xiong Zheng?

That's impossible; Guokr's financial situation is very good.

Guokr is even preparing to go public overseas in 2017.

For Guokr, money is just a number now.

Because Guoke has expanded its operations so much, now 70% of the trolleybuses on the market are produced by Guoke.

If Guokr hadn't been releasing its content so slowly, it could have occupied an even larger share of the electric vehicle market.

Given this situation, if the factory continues to operate, increasing the production of nutshells is actually the most reasonable approach.

But Yang Yunsheng wouldn't do that; he would reduce the production of nutshells to 55% of the market share.

Only then will a balance be achieved.

Otherwise, if one car company occupies the absolute majority of the market share, the consequences will be very serious.

Normally speaking, if a company tries to create a monopoly, it's best if it doesn't end up in a bad way.

Unless, of course, this is a corrupt state-owned enterprise.

In short, monopolies cannot be allowed to fail; this is an undeniable fact.

What Yang Yunsheng needs to do is to build a good reputation while also leaving some room for other car companies to benefit.

Other car companies are also getting into the "didi-didi" industry, but Yang Yunsheng doesn't care.

To reiterate, no company can engage in monopolistic practices, otherwise the authorities will intervene.

But what Yang Yunsheng needs to figure out now is what Xiong Zheng's situation is.

Because of the current situation, I feel very anxious.

As Guokr grows stronger, it's unacceptable for the person in charge of Guokr to be anxious.

If anything were to happen to him, it would be a great loss for Yang Yunsheng.

Whether it's the relationship between a superior and subordinate, or between friends! (End of Chapter)
