Homo sapiens

Chapter 37 Because of Technology

Dart Harbor.

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

After the merger and integration, Fenggao Home opened Fenggao Supermarket, Fenggao Hotel, and Fenggao Fast Food here, and also controlled the local farmer's market, dock, and passenger terminal.

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

He was inspecting the work of various business units in Dart Harbor at this time. After all, it was right under the nose of the big boss. If something went wrong, it would be useless no matter how good he was doing elsewhere.

After full integration, Fenghuo House has a lot of resources at its disposal.

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

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

Huang Keming, who has served as a supply chain manager at Watsons, knows very well that Fengsheng Home can open up these links, which means improved efficiency and reduced costs.

For example, a dozen eggs (12 eggs) previously obtained from the supermarket cost around 70 pesos, equivalent to 9 Chinese dollars, and the retail price was around 90 pesos.

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

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

You know, the average salary of ordinary people in Luzon is about 4,800 to 6,500 pesos per month, which is equivalent to 600 to 800 Chinese dollars per month.

The wages are so low, but the consumption level is equivalent to that of second- and third-tier cities in China. You can imagine the living standards of local people.

Fengfeng Home naturally respects local wage levels, and the working wages it offers are not much different from those of local companies.

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

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

While wages are low, Fenghuo House, or the entire Homo sapiens family, uses another supplement, which is employee performance points.

It currently adopts a model where 1 point is equivalent to 1 peso, allowing employees to use points to obtain a 20% discount when spending money in their own stores.

For example, if an employee buys a dozen eggs at Fengrao Supermarket for 90 pesos, he actually only has to pay 72 pesos, and the remaining 18 pesos will be deducted from points.

Moreover, when employee cards are used privately, relatives of employees 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 and draw employees' wages back to the company; on the other hand, it is to suppress other competitors.

The last purpose is to stabilize prices. Even if market prices suddenly rise sharply, Homo sapiens can use performance points to adjust the price level in the control area, which is equivalent to gaining a part of monetary sovereignty.

Since performance points can only be used within the Homo sapiens company, and their circulation scope is also in southern Luzon, it has not attracted Manila's attention so far.

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

Facing the vicious competition from Fenghuo Home, other supermarkets, shops and fast food in Dart Harbor have begun to feel the pressure.

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

The problem is that behind the House of Fertility is the entire Homo sapiens enterprise. There are many employees in those subsidiaries, and with their relatives, the consumption power of the entire city has been siphoned off.

"Have you heard?" a middle-aged woman with buck teeth whispered.

Another woman was carrying a vegetable basket: "What did you hear?"

The buck-toothed woman whispered: "Fengrao Supermarket will offer a 10% discount on all stores tomorrow. There will also be special specials. First come first to grab the specials."

"Really?"

"My neighbor's relatives work in Fenggao Supermarket. This is inside information."

"Working in Fengsao Supermarket? I really envy them. They have preferential prices and internal discounts."

These things quickly spread among ordinary people throughout Dartport through the mouths of some women.

The owners of other supermarkets or stores looked sad, secretly cursing Feng Feng Home to close down soon.

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

Especially those ordinary people in the market, they will not give up the coupons of Fengrao Supermarket just because this store is a time-honored store.

In addition, the prices of goods at Fengsheng Supermarket are slightly lower than those of other supermarkets, so the appeal is naturally even greater.

the next morning.

Fengrao Supermarket hadn't even opened yet, and there were a lot of women queuing up at the door.

When the supermarket manager led his employees to open the door, the crowd immediately rushed into the supermarket like a wave of people shouting and buying.

Facing this scene, other shops around the commercial street looked extremely worried and felt powerless.

Not far from Fengrao Supermarket, a recruitment store affiliated to Coral Construction Company was also crowded with applicants.

Recently, Coral Construction Company has received a lot of engineering projects, and its own employees cannot meet the needs of engineering construction, so it has begun to recruit a large number of construction workers.

The activity of coral construction also has the purpose of providing relief for work.

The wealthy Homo sapiens company has approved five employee community projects at once, one of which is located on the outskirts of Dart Harbor.

Coral Construction is currently responsible for the construction of these five employee communities. Among them, the Dart Harbor community has 1,000 households planned in the first phase.

Of course, this kind of staff room is not allocated to employees, but rented to employees, but the rent is very low. The plan is 1 peso per square meter per month, and you can also use points to offset part of it.

Many people may think that when wages are higher than those of regional peers, the competitiveness of enterprises will decrease.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

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

In many cases, enterprises and giant enterprises cannot be completely equated, and the rules that apply to enterprises may lose their effect on giant enterprises.

So what is a giant company?

Covering life, old age, illness and death, food, clothing, housing and transportation, medical education, culture and entertainment, energy and minerals, finance, the Internet, military and industrial warfare, scientific research, equipment research and development, etc.

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

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

Just like Fengfeng Home at this moment, it is also a supermarket. The purchase cost received by Fengfeng Home is only about half of that of other companies. How can other companies compete?

This kind of crushing of the industrial chain is sometimes unreasonable.

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

The future must be an era of giant companies.

Li Qingye has already seen through the nature of human society at this time, and naturally has accurate deductions about the future of mankind.

Why is he so sure?

Because of technology.

Yes, it’s because of technology.
