Chapter 182: Competitiveness
Dusk Empire, Snow City, Albatross Harbor.
"Then, Idiot Emperor, let's go first!" Skoll, who appeared as a human uncle, leaned on the side of the ship, raised his pipe, and smiled. No matter how strong the wind is, it can't blow away his innate obscenity.
"Go, go, go. Don't let Embryo III. escape, I don't want to lose more than half of my crew before the war! Qingyi shouted.
Beside Skoll, Frankie raised his head solemnly: "You can rest assured that I am here." ”
Qingyi smiled at it.
Since the Qinli Villa was located in the northwest of the mainland, far away from the Twilight Empire in the southeast of the mainland, Qingyi asked the ghost fleet to act as a troop transport fleet and ship 100,000 troops by sea. Due to the large number of Mold Rangers and the loss of strategic position under the threat of the Dance of Justice, they did not participate in this battle. Although a million less burdens, 100,000 soldiers is not a small number, one or two trips are not enough, and it is expected that the ghost fleet will have to make more than three round-trips. Now it is the second batch, Qingyi is saying goodbye to his subordinates, and Nafu has arrived at Qinli Villa with the leading troops.
Captain Pisa stood beside Qingyi, watched the boats retract the gangway, and suddenly patted his head: "By the way, I almost forgot...... First mate, take the gift down. ”
"This is ......" Seeing the sailors of the Blood Ship carry a huge box from the cabin, Qingyi was a little puzzled. The chest had come out of the ghost ship, but instead of blood and bones, it was enchanted steel. The crevices and corners of the box were covered with rune bands, so that not a trace of breath could leak out, and even Qingyi's [Soul Force Field] could not perceive what was in the box. The only thing he could see was that "the runes were inked with the blood of powerful creatures", and the blood had the smell of fireworks.
"This is a gift from Master Jiang Huahuo." Captain Pisa leaned over and lowered the wavelength: "This is the 'source of sin' he brought back from his previous visit to Hell, and there should be only one copy in the whole world." It's useless for us to hold it, but it might help you. ”
"Oh, please thank me." Although I don't know what this thing is for, it sounds like a rare material, where would Qingyi not pay attention to it? He immediately asked people to send the "source of evil" to the joint scientific research center for a good study.
Captain Pisa said again: "Your Majesty, you will definitely be known by the bald eagle for transporting troops with such fanfare, right?" He is known for his command of the navy, and if he intercepts the ghost fleet in the middle of the way, he is afraid that he will cause casualties to the army. "Indeed, the army passed through Isengh and then came to Snow City, and everyone could see that the Twilight Empire had made a big move. It is impossible for a bald eagle with a super-first-class military touch to ignore this.
Qingyi said: "It doesn't matter if he knows, because now is not the time for him to make a move." ”
"You seem sure?"
Qingyi explained with a smile: "Once he makes a move, the price of armaments will rise, and the Dusk Empire will be able to make a big profit, which is not the result that some people want to see." So, he's definitely going to wait until the trade is over before going on the offensive. ”
Captain Pisa, of course, understood the trick, and he thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the price of 'broken silver' has reached a new high, and you have been able to make a profit without mishap." Could it be that prices will suddenly fall? The reopening of competitive tournaments and the emergence of a large number of magical equipment have already affected the price of armaments, and I really can't think of any other means for Bigbower. ”
Qingyi just smiled and didn't answer.
Captain Pisa also turned his gaze to the sea, smiling heartily, but with a hint of anger: "I am a combat professional, my thoughts are very direct, whoever wants to get along with me, I will fight with him, the loser has to listen to the winner, it's as simple as that!" Bigbowojing is good at tricks, why don't you fight with him, Your Majesty? ”
"Since you have entered the international community, you have to compete according to international rules, and you can't go to war at every turn. Tricks are also a science, and Bigbower plays it beautifully and is admirable. Qingyi said indifferently.
"If it's Lord Jiang Huahuo, he will directly crush the past, regardless of the price."
"I don't have the strength of him. In the final analysis, politics is to fight bloodlessly with people who are equal to their own strength, which is the most suitable for me now, and Jiang Huahuo has long passed this stage. ”
After dealing with the transfer of the army, Qingyi went offline, looked at the time, and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, so he was ready to go to bed. He took out the red envelopes from his pocket, opened them, and saw that each person had a Franklin ($100), and he gained a lot. He took out the money, put the red envelope bag under his pillow, and went to wash.
As he walked through the living room, he looked at the phone and subconsciously stopped.
11 p.m. ...... Beijing time, it is 11 a.m. The family is already up. Do they sit around and eat in a cold and nervous atmosphere?
————————————————————————————————————
The next day.
Little Bee Express.
As the supervisor, Qingyi was standing outside the office, explaining the current strategy to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith sat in his chair, staring at Qingyi and listening carefully.
"Sicilian Express is competing for the market at a lower price than us, which is a vicious competition. However, this is simply insignificant, because the catering express industry is like a parasite of the catering industry, and the highest priority should never be the market, but the production line! They are very wrong, and they will end up hating! ”
"I've been lobbying around for the past few days to get the Sicilian Express partners. Sicilian Express may be able to win more than 20% of its customers at a low price, but its partners will plummet to 10%. When a customer asks for a quick food from a certain store, Sicilian Express will find that the store refuses to sell it to him. ”
"Of course, Sicilian Express has a way to reverse this situation, first, if it is the industry of the mafia, then it can be solved completely by violence; Second, there is a large consortium that injects money into the restaurants and allows them to use the money to buy off the restaurants, so that the restaurants would rather pay high liquidated damages than terminate the contract with us. ”
Mr. Smith frowned: "Mafia? ”
"Oh, that's what I kidding." Qingyi smiled, he never told his boss about the threatening letter he received. Of course, he is not afraid, in addition to the business card of the FBI agent in his hand, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is the support behind him. "If the latter is realized, this consortium must have the strength to compete with Curry Curry and Xinglong Express at the same time. I don't doubt that there are hundreds of conglomerates of this level in the United States, but the Chinese and Indians have been in business for so long, and they are not easy to mess with. ”
"Back to the point. Sicilian Express is isolated, denied the right to share the cake, even if the low-priced card is played well, it is useless. On the other hand, now that the competitive situation has been formed, we need to consider how the business model can be recognized by consumers, which is a question of market segmentation. Each express company has its own characteristics, but also to attract different groups of consumers, how to do a good job in the service of old customers is the key point. Maybe our service is a dollar more than Sicilian Express, but our service quality is twice as good as theirs, so will customers still choose them? ”
Mr. Smith nodded: "That's a good point, but the time when the staff is in contact with the customer, that is, the part of the express delivery, takes less than a minute." How can we demonstrate the quality of our services in such a short period of time? ”
"It's this minute that shows the skill. We want to make our customers impeccable, such as small gifts on holidays, such as candy for families with children on Children's Day; Do a good job of VIP customer consumption files, and send flowers or birthday cards on his birthday. All in all, we try to be as human as possible, and every penny spent in the service will earn us a dollar of profit. "Qingyi naturally came prepared, and he said it right.
Mr. Smith said with satisfaction: "Zhang, you have done a great job. ”
Qingyi is happy in his heart. He knew he was great, but it was another thing to hear someone admit it.
Then the boss got up and asked, "But is it necessary for you to be so good?" There is no sales department, no advertising department, no market research department...... It's a small company that doesn't fully functionalize, and you take care of many responsibilities as a supervisor, but you only get one salary, don't you feel at a loss? ”
"Money is nothing to me at all."
Saying what the trainee shouldn't say at all, Qingyi's words changed: "Do you remember my graduation thesis?" ”
Mr. Smith smiled and nodded, "Of course I remember, the most impressive article I've ever read is that one, and no one will write an essay based on their own experience in the game." ”
"I'm also a manager in the game, and I get no less training than in the real world. I understand a truth: management is just the management of "people", but in real business management, you will find that the things that need to be worried about by managers are gone. It is necessary not only to recruit subordinates, but also to formulate strategies; It is necessary to win over allies and temporarily enter the war...... So I don't mind doing more at all. The more you do it, the more you have a fine grasp of the company, as if it is at its core. ”
Mr. Smith couldn't help but applaud a few times, and looked at Qingyi with the eyes of admiring the good son-in-law of the East Bed, as if to re-examine him: "Zhang, I finally figured out something. You were born to be a manager, and if you weren't allowed to sit in this position, you would die. But aren't you better able to display your talents when you stand in a higher position? You are a smart person, you should know that the catering express industry has no prospects. Why do you have to keep improving? ”
yes, why?
The food and beverage delivery industry is a product of the post-crisis economy, and it is also quite marginal as a service industry. Little Bee Express does not have independent restaurants to support it at all, but purely does outsourcing services, which is very risky. Therefore, Little Bee Express cannot be bigger, because it cannot afford the risk of multiplication, which is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
But why do you still insist on making Little Bee Express better and better?
Qingyi groaned for a while and said, "I don't know why. I'm just doing my best and doing the best I can. Believe it or not, I have a lot of fun managing because there's nothing more fun than doing what you love. ”
Mr. Smith cocked up his index finger and shook it: "No, it's not like that, the reason why you keep improving is because you want to be the strongest. The Chinese are like this, if they want to occupy the Olympic gold medal table and break the Guinness World Records, any friendly match is a death match for you. That is the blood that flows in your race, and it is precisely because you are too competitive and competitive that you ancient scholars advocated humility and self-examination, otherwise China would be a mess. ”
Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Maybe that's exactly the case." The strongest name, who doesn't want it! ”
