Chapter 37 Because of Technology

Port of Dart.

As the place where Homo sapiens began, it is also one of the most affected areas.

After the merger and integration, the Home of Abundance opened a Fertility Supermarket, a Fertility Hotel, and a Fertility Fast Food, and also controlled the local farmers' market, dock, and passenger terminal.

The person in charge of this enterprise is Huang Keming, who previously worked at Heung Kong Watsons.

At this time, he was in Dart Port to inspect the work of various business divisions, after all, this place is under the nose of the big boss, if something goes wrong, then no matter how good it is in other places, it is useless.

After the full integration, the Home of Abundance has a lot of resources at its disposal.

For example, farmers' markets, warehousing, transportation companies, hotels, supermarkets, and fast food companies can actually be connected into a line of industries.

In addition to this, the various plantations and farms of the Fernando family are also strategic partners of the House of Plenty.

Wong, who worked as a supply chain manager at Watsons, knows very well that the Home of Abundance can open up these links, which means improving efficiency and reducing costs.

For example, the cost of a dozen eggs (12 pieces) in the supermarket was about 70 pesos, which is equivalent to 9 Chinese dollars, and the retail price was about 90 pesos.

After the reintegration, the current cost price of eggs has been compressed to about 31 pesos.

The cost and price of various agricultural products have been reduced to varying degrees, which naturally represents profits and competitiveness.

You must know that the average salary of ordinary people in Luzon is about 4800~6500 pesos per month, which is equivalent to 600~800 yuan per month.

The wages are so low, but the consumption level is equivalent to that of the second- and third-tier cities in China, and the living standards of the locals can be imagined.

Naturally, the Home of Abundance respects the local wage level, and the work wages offered are not much different from those of local enterprises.

The reason for not raising wages is to avoid hostility from local companies on the one hand, and to avoid capital outflow on the other.

In the case of low wages, the savings of employees are reduced, and those employees naturally do not spend their money on higher-priced mobile phones, cars, and luxury goods.

And at the same time as low wages, the Home of Abundance, or the entire Homo sapiens system, adopted another supplement, which is employee performance points.

At present, 1 point is equivalent to 1 peso, allowing employees to use points to get a 20% deduction in the process of spending in their own stores.

If an employee buys a dozen eggs at the Abundance supermarket for 90 pesos, he actually only has to pay 72 pesos, and the remaining 18 pesos are deducted by points.

Moreover, in the process of private use of employee cards, employees' relatives are basically allowed to use the card for consumption.

The purpose of this is very simple, on the one hand, it is to stimulate employee consumption, but also to suck employees' wages back into the hands of the company; On the other hand, it is to suppress other competitors.

The last purpose is to stabilize prices, even if market prices suddenly skyrocket, Homo sapiens can also adjust the price level in the control area through performance points, which is equivalent to obtaining a part of the monetary sovereignty.

Since performance points can only be used within Homo sapiens and are also in circulation in the southern Luzon region, they are not currently of concern in Manila.

At present, the performance points issued to employees by various subsidiaries of Homo Sapiens account for about 20~30% of employees' income.

In the face of vicious competition from the House of Plenty, other supermarkets, shops, and fast food in Port Dart have begun to feel the pressure.

Although other businesses can also give discounts to customers, or give coupons to customers.

The problem is that behind the House of Abundance is the entire Homo sapiens enterprise, and those subsidiaries have a lot of employees, plus their relatives, and the consumption power of the whole city is siphoned.

……

"Did you hear that?" A middle-aged woman with buckteeth whispered.

Another woman carrying a basket of vegetables: "What did you hear?" ”

The bucktooth woman whispered: "Fengrao Supermarket will be 9% off tomorrow, and there are special special products, and you can grab the special products only if you arrive first." ”

"Really?"

"My neighbor's relatives work at the Harvest Supermarket, that's inside information."

"Working at Abundance Supermarket? I really envy them, there are preferential prices, and there are internal discounts. ”

These things quickly spread through the mouths of some women and among the ordinary people throughout Port Dart.

The owners of other supermarkets or stores had a sad look on their faces, secretly cursing the Home of Abundance for closing down early.

But it is the nature of many people to be greedy for small gains.

Especially those who are small in the market, they will not give up the coupon of Fengrao Supermarket just because this store is a time-honored brand.

In addition, the price of goods in the abundant supermarket is slightly lower than that of other supermarkets, so it is naturally more attractive.

The next morning.

Before the Abundance supermarket opened, there was a large group of women queuing at the door.

When the supermarket manager opened the door with the staff, the crowd rushed into the supermarket like a wave, shouting and shouting.

In the face of this scene, the other shops around the commercial street were extremely worried and powerless.

And not far from the Harvest Supermarket, a recruitment store affiliated with Coral Construction Company was also crowded with applicants at this time.

Recently, Coral Construction Company has obtained a lot of engineering projects, and its own employees are difficult to meet the needs of project construction, so it has begun to recruit a large number of construction workers.

The act of coral construction also has the purpose of cash-for-work in it.

The wealthy company Homo sapiens approved the construction project of five employee communities at once, one of which is on the outskirts of Dart Port.

The construction of these five employee communities is currently in charge of Coral Construction, of which 1,000 households are planned for the first phase of the Dart Port community.

Of course, this type of staff room is not distributed to employees, but rented to employees, but the rent is very low, the plan is 1 peso per square per month, and some of them can also be offset with points.

Many people may think that when wages are higher than those of their regional counterparts, the competitiveness of companies will decrease.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

But there must be a prerequisite, and that is that the company is not a giant enterprise.

In many cases, enterprises and giant enterprises cannot be completely equivalent, and the rules applicable to enterprises may lose their effect on giant enterprises.

So what is a giant enterprise?

It covers birth, old age, sickness and death, clothing, food, housing and transportation, medical care and education, culture and entertainment, energy and minerals, finance, Internet, military warfare, scientific research, equipment research and development, etc.

From the upstream to the downstream of the industry, the enterprises that have controlled the entire industrial chain are called "giant enterprises".

It is difficult for any isolated single-industry enterprise to compete with giant enterprises.

Just like the Home of Abundance at this moment, it is also a supermarket, and the purchase cost of the Home of Abundance is only about half of that of other companies, how do other companies compete?

The crushing of this industrial chain is sometimes unreasonable.

Although Homo sapiens has not yet evolved into a full-fledged giant company, it already has the prototype of a giant enterprise at this time, and with the cooperation of the local Fernando family, it is more than enough to kill those local companies.

The future must be the era of giant enterprises.

Li Qingye has already seen through the essence of human society at this time, and nature has a precise deduction for the future of human beings.

Why is he so sure?

Because of technology.

That's right, it's because of technology.
