The first thought that came to Mr. Joe Austin's mind was that the boss must be crazy.

Vision determines the pattern. Joe Austin was originally the head of the sales department of a small company. He chose to switch jobs because he wanted an extra salary of $300 per month, plus possible bonuses and benefits. He is not an elite in people's eyes.

This also led to him being unable to understand Han Chudong's thoughts.

Originally, I thought it would be enough to give some discounts during the opening period. The profit margin is only a few percentage points. If the discount is too much, it will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in profits during the opening period, and the situation will be limited to the small profits in front of us.

But...

It's not his company anyway, so there's no need to resist. Whatever decision the boss makes is fine, and Mr. Austin just needs to follow it.

We've only been working together for a short time.

Han Chudong did not have the so-called "kingly and domineering spirit". With just a shake of his tiger body, others knelt down.

Several white new employees, led by Joe Austin, now don't have much respect for the young Asian boss, but they are not stupid enough to ruin their new jobs.

The professional manager system in the United States has been developed for many years and is relatively sound. I can’t say that I love this job from the bottom of my heart, but I’m not lazy about doing what I’m supposed to do.

They simply do things for money, that's all. From time to time, they complain about the dilapidated neighborhoods, poor environment and security, etc.

The racial boundaries these days are far more obvious than people imagine. In their eyes, Han Chudong is at best just a small boss with good luck and a little money.

It takes some time to get used to each other, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate a good corporate atmosphere.

Currently, most Chinese people work for white people in society. The situation has been reversed in these two companies, which is bound to leave some small bumps in the minds of several newly recruited management staff.

To be honest, Han Chudong didn't care what they thought at all. As long as he got the money and did good things, that was all that mattered. It was impossible to have no disagreements and harmony throughout the company. He just wanted to use these white employees to better contact those agents and eliminate potential crises caused by racial factors.

Knowing that there is a so-called "ceiling" for Chinese Americans in this country, if you want to develop better in the future, you must actively integrate into it. A company composed entirely of Chinese Americans will definitely encounter a lot of trouble after it grows bigger.

Maybe he is not very good at management or doing business, but when it comes to long-term vision, Han Chudong is simply invincible. When he has nothing to do, he will think about these things and think very far ahead.

For example, the relationship with the other side of the Pacific Ocean has eased somewhat after the Ping-Pong Diplomacy, but it is bound to turn cold again in the future.

It's okay for Mango Toys, but for Baofeng Electric Appliances, if all the employees are Chinese, it will cause resistance from some consumers.

Although they don't want to admit it, there are too many groups that discriminate against Asians. If they want to make money from them, the best way is to market the illusion that "the company is still dominated by white people", just like the Japanese are doing.

If things go well, Han Chudong may try to improve the status of his compatriots and their lives in the future.

It’s not possible now. Our strength is too weak. All we can do is provide a few hundred jobs, and most of them seem to be exploitative.

All businessmen are dishonest. Most of the time, he is considering his own interests.

But I often hear my father talk about how their white boss scolded them, and how they encountered biker gangs who thought they were superior. Coupled with the bad memories of my previous study abroad, I feel a sense of resentment in my heart that I can never swallow.

If possible, Han Chudong would be happy to help...

He saw the scene of several white employees gradually banding together. Since the shares were all in Han Chudong's hands, he had nothing to worry about.

I have already thought about how to arrange the trade-in activity.

When Joe Austin entered his office, he told him:

“The clothes you buy this year may not be worn next year, but few people use their home appliances for only one year. I’m sure that almost half of the households’ refrigerators were manufactured in the 1960s, and their televisions may be even older. We need to encourage them to replace them with new products on their own initiative.

At present, Baofeng Electric's profit margin is maintained at around 8 points. My idea is to reduce it to 2 points. This part of the profit will be used to recycle second-hand home appliances. Considering that some second-hand home appliances can also be sold to scrap yards and dealers, it means that we may be able to lower the sales price of our products to the cost price and completely build a reputation in the area around the store. Do you understand?"

Han Chudong made the decisions by himself, and his subordinates were only responsible for execution. They did not ask Mr. Austin for his opinion. At this moment, Joe Austin just nodded and replied, "How long do you want to last? If it lasts for a long time, it may crush some small electrical appliance retailers, which is very beneficial to us."

"It will take at least a month. I don't intend to let more people remember the Baofeng brand and crush those small retailers, but if our company wants to develop, it will inevitably have an impact on them. I need you to build a recycling channel for second-hand appliances, and after I make a detailed plan, train the sales staff, and print flyers... I'll be in charge of the flyers, and the first two are up to you."

The reason why Han Chudong suddenly changed his mind was that he felt that he could not let go of the purchasing business, even if it was just a small amount.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

How many companies have failed in the procurement area. It is better to separate the management and procurement rights. Someone must be assigned to be responsible in the future, but that requires him to first understand how other companies manage their procurement departments and learn from their management experience. There is still a lot to learn.

While causing an impact on those small retailers, Baofeng Electric also provides numerous jobs such as sales, delivery, maintenance, accounting, etc. It is hard to say whether this is good or bad. It does not need to be responsible for other people's business, so it naturally has no guilty conscience.

Mr. Austin is just 30 years old this year. He doesn't know what the specific effect will be, but he thinks it should stimulate sales performance. He reminded: "Then should we increase the goods in the warehouse?"

"Of course, I'll arrange this. Buying in large quantities might help lower the price. Under the premise that the performance is similar, the product that offers the lowest price will be promoted. I'll arrange the recycling prices for various home appliances now and give them to you later. Remember to tell the salesmen about it during the meeting."

"OK, nothing else?"

"Well, go and do your work first. I'll find you later..."

After all, I have been running this business for a while and have gradually become adept at arranging work.

Miss Kyoko Mochizuki hasn't left yet.

After this weekend, we will leave for Sapporo next Monday.

She came to Han Chudong's office, shook the invoice in her hand, and asked, "For the reimbursement of the air tickets, should we ask Accountant Wang to help directly?"
