"Mr. Duan, I have a small request."

"You say." Duan Kunze responded happily.

"Are you short of marketing staff for the opening of your department store?"

Duan Kunze was a little slow to react, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that I'm planning to recommend myself for a job at your department store. Not as a salesperson, but I want certain authority, like pricing."

Duan Kunze's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to maintain his composure, "Student Jiang, you're joking!"

Also pricing power!

He just got the pricing power.

Jiang Shiyue looked at Duan Kunze seriously and said, "I'm not kidding. I'm not interested in your Dongsheng Department Store, but I want to destroy Yong'an Department Store!"

Duan Kunze could no longer maintain his gentlemanly demeanor and laughed rudely.

It wasn't sarcastic, but it wasn't kind either, like hearing a funny joke.

Their Dongsheng Department Store has been fighting with Wing On Department Store for more than 20 years, but has not been able to defeat Wing On Department Store until now.

Jiang Shiyue, such a young girl, wants to destroy Wing On Department Store as soon as she opens her mouth.

The last time Duan Kunze had such lofty ambitions as Jiang Shiyue was when he was wearing open-crotch pants.

It took about a few seconds of mental preparation.

Duan Kunze bared his teeth as he spoke, "Mr. Jiang is a college student with a promising future. Please don't bother Mr. Jiang with such trivial matters at home. If Mr. Jiang trusts me, I will take care of your revenge."

Jiang Shiyue is not stupid.

One could hear a hint of sarcasm in Duan Kunze's words of rejection, like "Are you kidding?" and "Who do you think you are?"

Jiang Shiyue was not angry. In fact, she felt that Duan Kunze was a well-educated man. If she were Duan Kunze, she might have spat in his face.

She reflected on herself and realized that her anger and wild words were indeed hard to convince others, so she organized her words and tried to persuade Duan Kunze again.

"When the police questioned me just now, they held up the papers in front of me and asked if I had seen them. I glanced at them."

Duan Kunze was stunned for a moment, but did not interrupt Jiang Shiyue.

"I guess it's a plan for a department store opening event."

Duan Kunze's eyebrows moved slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You just said that the feud between your two department stores has lasted for twenty or thirty years, but there's still no clear winner. Your two department stores have expanded all the way from Hong Kong to the mainland, right?"

Duan Kunze nodded, it was indeed what he said.

This is indeed the case.

"Do you think it's possible that you're so familiar with each other that you can tell what the other's moves are without even going undercover? You arrested someone from Wing On today, so I'm sure there will be someone from your side there as well. My guess is that the opening event plan you have is about the same as the one for Wing On Department Store."

Duan Kunze didn't say anything.

It's the default.

Jiang Shiyue continued, "Look, even your tactics for dealing with your opponents are so similar, how can you possibly determine the winner? You probably need an outsider to help you break the impasse. Someone with completely different ideas from yours planning this opening event might be able to bring down your opponent in one fell swoop."

Duan Kunze heard that Jiang Shiyue was just building it on his own initiative.

He smiled bitterly. "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, both Dongsheng and Yong'an have tried to hire foreign aid. We hired experts from the United States, and they hired masters from the United States. You know that our small place is influenced by the West. The department store industry is ultimately a price war. But we are committed to small profits and quick turnover, so we must not seek our own destruction."

The two companies have an unwritten agreement not to do business at a loss.

It's no exaggeration to say that based on this, both of our families have tried every possible method. Even if the other family comes up with a new trick, it will be learned by the other party in the blink of an eye. So, classmate Jiang, I really won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Shiyue was still not giving up. "As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You are influenced by the Western economy, and your ways of doing things are more Western. Coming to the inland, of course you have to plan activities according to the preferences of inland people. I think you still need a local."

Duan Kunze looked helpless. "Comrade Jiang, you're truly persistent. But we can certainly imagine what you're thinking of. Besides, we're very familiar with domestic economic policies. We've paid a heavy price for this. We know that domestic companies are mostly state-owned or collectively owned, and they're not very friendly to private enterprises. We spent six months just negotiating with the local government. We showed complete sincerity. This included offering benefits to the people, equal profit sharing, and arranging employment for inland residents."

There is a regulation in China now for self-employed individuals doing business, which is called "Seven Ups and Eight Downs".

This means that self-employed individuals can also hire workers, but the number of employees must be kept below eight.

Otherwise, they will be treated as capitalists.

Of course, this is a domestic policy. This year, leaders have visited and inspected various places and actively invited foreign companies to build factories in China.

Of course, we will provide very good policies to these invited foreign businessmen.

It’s definitely not as aggrieved as Duan Kunze said.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether Duan Kunze feels wronged or not. What matters is that the meaning of his words is still rejection.

This means that the local government is now involved in the operation of these two department stores, and their employees are all from the mainland.

So, Jiang Shiyue is still not needed.

Jiang Shiyue still didn't want to give up, mainly because she had suffered this kind of injustice in both of her lifetimes.

He actually framed her in front of her!

This is intolerable!

Who hasn’t encountered a scheming bitch or a green tea girl in the workplace?!

Jiang Shiyue has never been the one who suffers losses.

She dealt with such people simply and roughly.

The workplace is not the imperial palace, there is no need for intrigue. Their industry is all about profit!

Whoever has good investment vision and makes more money for the company will be No. 1!

With money and power, all green tea and white tea brands have to bow down to you.

"Well," Jiang Shiyue took another step back. "I'll write a plan for you first. Take a look at it before you make a decision. I'm a student now, so I won't be joining the company. This way, I won't take up any of your staff quota. If you adopt my marketing plan and win against Wing On, I'll only take one thousandth of the sales."

Do the work first and get paid later?

Duan Kunze really had no reason to refute, since they didn't lose anything anyway.

He thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Jiang Shiyue waved goodbye to Duan Kunze and said, "I'll go to Dongsheng Department Store to find you after I finish writing the project book."

"Young Master." The assistant spoke only after seeing Jiang Shiyue leave. "Isn't it a bit hasty to agree to this? What if they are really a group?"

Duan Kunze shook his head, "Have you ever seen such a beautiful and capable woman around He Tianning?"

The assistant shook his head subconsciously.

"Anyway, she said that writing the plan first won't cost us anything." Duan Kunze strode towards the door. "Who knows, maybe we can really deal a heavy blow to Yong'an!"

Probably a businessman's intuition.

He had a hunch that Jiang Shiyue would bring him a surprise.
