Chapter 925: The Crisis is Grim, but It's also an Opportunity!
In this way, Wei Peng concocted the same method and called the landlords of the seven stores under the sea one after another.
He uses money as bait and buys them at all costs.
Behind every phone call, there is a battle between money and morality.
Soon, all the landlords were impressed by his money offensive.
They have ruthlessly raised the rents of the outlets, some as much as five times.
For the sake of immediate interests, these landlords have no regard for the plight and future development of the seabed.
When the last landlord agreed to raise the rent, Wei Peng's face showed a smug smile.
He felt that his plan was halfway through, and that he would definitely suffer a heavy blow this time.
Satisfied, he put down the phone, leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes and enjoyed the joy of victory.
……
When the news of skyrocketing rents came, Summer Night was dealing with an important document.
He frowned slightly, but he didn't stop what he was doing.
The people around were visibly feeling the tension, some flusteredly moving back and forth, others gathering together and whispering.
But on a summer night, he still sat there, as calm as a mountain.
After a while, an emergency meeting opened.
He gently put down the papers in his hand, straightened his suit, and then stood up and walked to the conference room.
Every step he took was firm and powerful, as if every step was a declaration of his determination and conviction to the world.
The conference room was already full, and the managers and employees of the various stores had gathered here, their faces full of nervousness and anxiety.
But when Summer Night walked into the conference room, the panicked atmosphere seemed to be instantly suppressed by his majesty.
He stood in front of the throne, his eyes like torches, scanning everyone present.
"Guys......," he began, his voice deep and powerful, "I know you're all worried right now, but I hope you can calm down, because that's the only way we can face this crisis together." ”
His words seemed to have a kind of magic that made everyone present gradually calm down.
He continued: "I already know about this surge in rents, which is a big challenge indeed, but I promise everyone that we will get through this together. ”
His eyes were firm and confident, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Summer Night stood in front of the podium, his hands propped up on the table, and his eyes looked firmly at everyone present.
He took a deep breath and began to elaborate on measures and strategies to deal with the crisis.
"First of all, we need to do a comprehensive analysis of this rent skyrocket."
"We need to understand the specifics of each store, including rent increases, contract lengths, landlords' backgrounds, etc., so that we can develop a targeted response strategy."
After a pause, he continued: "Secondly, we will negotiate with the landlord and send a professional negotiation team to communicate with the landlord with the utmost sincerity to try to reduce the rent increase or extend the contract period, and at the same time, we will also look for other possible properties in case of emergency." ”
Xia Ye glanced at the store managers present and said, "Managers, you need to fully cooperate with the negotiation team to provide the necessary support and assistance, and at the same time, you must also do a good job of reassuring the employees and letting them know that the company is actively responding to this crisis." ”
"In addition to negotiating with hosts, we also need to adjust our business strategy, we will invest more in marketing and publicity, launch more attractive promotions and new products to attract more customers to come and spend, and at the same time, we will also improve the quality of service to make the dining experience of customers at the bottom of the sea more enjoyable."
"We will also carry out a series of public relations activities, actively communicate with the media and consumers, explain the reasons for this rent surge and our countermeasures, and let the public know that fishing for the bottom of the sea is a responsible and responsible enterprise."
His words are sonorous and powerful, and every detail is well thought out.
Everyone present was impressed by his calmness and wisdom.
They were infected by the determination and faith of Xia Ye, and believed that under his leadership, they would be able to survive this crisis.
"Finally, I want to tell you ......"
"Although this crisis is severe, it is also an opportunity!"
"I decide! Two of the stores with expiring leases were closed to reduce costs and streamline the workforce. ”
As soon as Xia Ye's words fell, the entire conference room seemed to be hit by a bombshell, and the air instantly froze.
The executives' eyes widened as if they had heard something incredible.
The shareholders turned pale, clutching the documents in their hands, as if they were their last straw.
"Mr. Xia, are you sure that your idea is correct?"
A senior executive was the first to break the silence, his voice trembling!
"The closure of two stores will cause immeasurable damage to our brand image and market share!"
Another shareholder also stood up and became emotional: "This is just crazy! We've invested so much money and time in these two stores, and now we're going to close them? How is this possible! ”
The employee representative couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Xia, many of our employees work in those two stores, what should they do?" What about their families? Have you ever considered our feelings? ”
Summer Night sat quietly on the throne with a firm gaze.
"Employees are on paid suspension, what's wrong?"
The employee representative was directly stunned and speechless.
Xia Ye took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke: "I know this decision is difficult for everyone to accept, but please trust me, this is the result of careful consideration, we must take measures to deal with the current predicament, otherwise the company will face a bigger crisis." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, we will do our best to protect the rights and interests of the affected employees, we will provide them with transfer or other resettlement options, and I hope that everyone will understand and support this decision." ”
However, his explanation did not completely dispel the doubts of executives and shareholders.
There was still an atmosphere of tension and unease in the room.
Everyone is thinking about the meaning and implications behind this decision.
Eventually, the meeting ended in a heavy atmosphere.
Executives and shareholders left the room with mixed feelings.
And the summer night sits there, with deep eyes, as if thinking about the future.
He is well aware that this decision will have some impact on the company, but he also understands that it is the most effective measure to deal with the rent boom crisis at the moment.
However, just when he was about to implement this plan, Wei Peng made another move!
