Chapter 1495: Lu Mingliang Is Too Conservative
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Mingliang’s live-stream caused a lot of discussion. Of course, Pei Qian watched it as well.
At first, Pei Qian was a little flustered. He did not know what Lu Mingliang was up to. He also did not know where Lu Mingliang was going to stab him after ten years.
If he stabbed himself in the back, he would be in deep trouble!
However, after watching the live-stream, Pei Qian realized that he had been overthinking.
What Lu Mingliang did was not a threat to him!
If one stood on the first floor, which was the floor of Shengyun Express, they would see Lu Mingliang stupidly exposing the path of making money for all internet platform companies. In order to win this debate, he set up a golden body for himself. However, this completely cut off his path to making money.
It was very stupid.

If one stood on the second floor, they might think that Lu Mingliang’s move had dealt a heavy blow to Shengyun Express. It had completely crushed public opinion online and paved the way for Upwind Logistics to develop rapidly in the country.
As long as they could replace Shengyum Corporation and dominate the market, Upwind Logistics would be able to turn their losses into profits even under the premise that the service would not shrink and the price would not increase for ten years. That was because they would be able to snatch the fat piece
of meat from other express delivery companies.
However, Pei Qian felt that he was on the third floor.
Yes, under ideal circumstances, Upwind Logistics would have opened up express delivery networks in various cities in the country. It would have become the leading company in the express delivery industry and turn its losses into profits. However, how many years would that take?
It took two to three years for Upwind Logistics to gain a foothold in first-tier cities.
There were so many second- and third-tier cities and county cities. If he wanted to provide them with the same service as first-tier cities, he had to build more Upwind Courier stations. Wouldn’t that start in three years and end at the highest point?
It was still too early!
Boss Pei could not even care about the next cycle, much less three years later.
Even if they made profits before that, they could spend all the money they earned on the construction of courier stations and logistics and spend it on the benefits of the delivery men and employees.
No matter how much money Upwind Logistics earned, it could guarantee that it would not make money. That was the Pei family’s theory of relativity.
‘What’s more, Pei Qian had seen Lu Mingliang’s denouncing of Shengyun Express and the operation to gain hatred. He felt very appreciative.
In fact, if Pei Qian was present, he would probably do the same. However, he was not as eloquent as Lu Mingliang and spoke so clearly.
To Pei Qian, he could not understand why the leaders of these large companies had to think of ways to squeeze out the pitiful fines from a delivery man who had been working so hard to earn a few thousand yuan a month.
Pei Qian felt that his ultimate goal of losing money was to buy a huge villa that belonged to him in the prosperous areas of Jingzhou. That would be the peak.
Now, he was not too far from this goal. He was very close.
No matter how much money he had, he would not spend, spend, or generate practical value. He would think of ways to make it value through capital. What was the point of watching the number rise?
‘Thus, Pei Qian felt that no matter how much money he earned, life would be meaningless if he became someone like Shengyun Corporation or the higher-ups of Home Corporation.
Was this considered a rich man or a miser?
‘Was he better or worse?
‘Thus, Lu Mingliang went all out against such people. It was just like how Sloth Apartments went all out against Home Corporation. Pei Qian was naturally completely supportive.
Other than that, Lu Mingliang said that Sloth Apartments would expand in second- and third-tier cities and subsidize delivery fees for a long time. The delivery fees would not increase for ten years. That made Pei Qian very happy.
How good would it be if all the department heads were as responsible as Lu Mingliang!
He was right about him!
The only flaw was that Lu Mingliang was a little conservative.
Why was it only ten years?
If Boss Pei was there, he would have to double the amount!
However, since he had already said that, so be it. If ten years was not enough, he could extend it.
Pei Qian felt that Upwind Logistics had developed to this point naturally. Even though he did not understand the process, the results were good and satisfactory.
‘That was why he praised Lu Mingliang. What’s more, he only had one opinion: to poach people.
Lu Mingliang was a little confused. “Poach people in a fixed direction? How?”
Pei Qian explained, “It’s very simple. It’s just one more recruitment channel.”
“Until now, Tengda has three different recruitment channels. One is an urgent recruitment for special talents, the other two are the regular Tengda recruitment examinations and the special recruitment exam that was just implemented a while ago.”
Pei Qian had to personally agree to the urgent recruitment of special talents.
For example, if Pei Qian decided to start a new industry or find a trusted aide, he would definitely need a group of people to cooperate. It would definitely be too late to go through the normal recruitment process at this time. He would have to hire them urgently.
If the other departments had a shortage of manpower, they could also report to Boss Pei and go through the process of urgent hiring.
Other than that, there were two types of recruitment examinations.
Pei Qian continued, “On top of that, I plan to open a new recruitment channel – to poach people!”
“For example, Upwind Logistics and Shengyun Express are now direct competitors. Then, you can take out a portion of the recruitment slots according to the expansion and development of Upwind Logistics and poach people from Shengyun Express.”
“Previously, if the people from Shengyun Express wanted to jump ship to our company, they would have to pass the examinations. They might not be able to jump in. Now, it’s equivalent to leaving a portion of the quota to prepare for the employees of the competitor.”
“In the future, other departments can also have such slots. For example, Sloth Apartments can poach people from Home Corporation.”
Pei Qian’s idea was very simple. There must be a premium if he wanted to poach people!
If he poached people in a targeted manner, the premium would definitely be higher!
Of course, Tengda’s old employees’ salaries and benefits had basically been maximised. The premium of poaching people must also be premium on the original salary of this person. Thus, no matter how premium was, it would not surpass old employees of Tengda’s level, causing the salary to be hung.
However, no matter what, this was a good way to quickly increase the number of employees!
It was mainly because Pei Qian saw that it was not easy for the delivery man from Shengyun Corporation. Upwind Logistics had to expand and ensure the service of the customers. Such proficient delivery men would have to be recruited sooner or later. The other employees had to be supplemented. It was
quite convenient to poach them directly from Shengyun Corporation.
Lu Mingliang was moved. “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll make arrangements when I get back!”
Indeed, Boss Pei was not angry. Instead, he supported him unconditionally!
Lu Mingliang felt that this was enough to show that there was no problem with his judgment. Boss Pei and Nie Yunsheng, no, it should be said that they were completely different from the bosses of other companies.
Strictly speaking, no matter how good Lu Mingliang’s benefits were, could he compare to the Vice-President of Shengyun Corporation?
Obviously not.
That was because even though Lu Mingliang’s basic salary and bonus were high, the Vice-President of Shengyun Corporation had many shares in the company. In comparison, Lu Mingliang might be slightly inferior.
However, Lu Mingliang had no intention of jumping ship to become Vice-President of Shengyun Corporation.
The reason was simple, it was Boss Pei’s personal charm!
There was definitely no other boss in the world like Boss Pei. That was why the people in charge did not have any complaints and followed Boss Pei resolutely to expand Tengda.
Boss Pei was not only their guide in their work, but also the guide in their lives to see the truth of the business path through the fog.
Boss Pei’s life was so simple. He did not show off and was approachable. He even treated his employees better than him. How could the people in charge be shameless to enjoy such an environment?
Wouldn’t that be equivalent to betraying Boss Pei and the Tengda spirit?
Therefore, he was filled with motivation and continued charging!
To Lu Mingliang, he had been working at Upwind Logistics for a long time. Although he had achieved some results, it was not time for him to rest yet!
After sending Lu Mingliang off, Pei Qian casually read the reports from the other departments.
The recruitment examinations were going smoothly. At the moment, they were nervously marking the papers. However, considering the time, interview, employment, and benefits would have to wait until the next cycle. It was a pity.
Pei Qian was a little regretful. If only he had thought of this two months ago! He could have spent a huge sum of money before settlement.
However, this salary was negligible to the losses of the settlement cycle. It did not affect much.
This recruitment exam was mainly for long-term thinking.
‘What was worth mentioning was that Tian Mo had already opened his second experience shop in Shanghai. From the photo, it looked similar to Jingzhou. However, the structure of the shopping mall was different after all, so he had made some artistic designs for the specific structure. It could be considered
a landmark building of two cities.
Considering that Tian Mo would be sent on a torturous trip soon, he did not know who to hand the experience shop to in the future.
On top of that, Shang Yang Games’ realistic service department was thinking about organizing a competition for ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ in the near future. The competition would be divided into two stages. The first stage would be an online competition. All players could participate. After a round of
pre-selection, the final 10 drivers would be selected.
These drivers would undergo free racing training in reality and then compete with professional drivers.
The entire competition would be live-streamed on Bunny Tail.
This event was only in the initial planning stage. Obviously, it would not be able to make it in time for the settlement. It could only be held next month.
Other than that, there were no other projects that could spend a lot of money.
Pei Qian took a look. Even after spending so much money, there was still a huge gap in the System Funds. That was terrible!
At the moment, there was still about fifty million yuan in the System Funds. That was the result of Pei Qian trying his best to spend money.
He could only say that the company had too much money. It was getting harder and harder to spend money because the system was too big and difficult to grasp…
Pei Qian was helpless. Should he lie flat?
According to the conversion ratio, he could convert five hundred thousand yuan, but that would not be good!
That was because the starting sum this time was 60 million yuan. Even if he could not incur losses from the fixed assets, he still had nearly 30 million yuan left. That was three million yuan. It was five times the profits.
Three million yuan! Adding Boss Pei’s Personal Wealth, he could go and take a look at the huge villa!
Just as he was struggling internally, his cell phone rang.
“Eh? Meng Chang called for a long distance?”
Pei Qian’s eyes lit up as he picked it up immediately!
“Eh? Preliminary acquisition?”
“One billion US dollars?”
‘Er… There’s no problem with the price.. However, can I tell them to pay in installments and set a deposit of seven million US dollars first?”
