Chapter 418: 414. If You Have the Ability, I'll Pull Someone Down Right Now to Let You Move Up!

Jiao Zhen heard Geng Yichang say this and immediately said with annoyance, "Don't talk nonsense. What 'abandoning home and business'? Is it really that exaggerated?"

Geng Yichang wanted to say more, but at this moment, a voice suddenly cut in, "What Manager Geng said is also a fact. Everyone has indeed paid a great price to come here this time. I understand this, and I have kept it in my heart."

As soon as this voice emerged, the entire video conference suddenly went quiet.

"Bo... Boss?" Geng Yichang felt his legs shaking a little. No way, how could the Boss be in the group chat?

Does this mean everything he just said was heard by Zhang Ran?

Would he be given a hard time?

Immediately, he looked at Jiao Zhen with some resentment. Why didn't the boss remind him?

At this time, Zhang Ran also turned on his camera. He had been listening to everyone talk just now. Originally, he only wanted to observe what these people's capabilities were and didn't want to speak, but at this moment, he had to speak.

The others were also stunned; they hadn't noticed that Zhang Ran was in there either.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Everything you said is reasonable, and I am not an unreasonable person. Or do you think I am an unreasonable person?"

"Cough, cough, no, I didn't, please don't misunderstand." Geng Yichang hurriedly denied it three times in a row.

Zhang Ran cracked a couple of jokes and then said, "I know your concerns, and today I will give you the bottom line.

You don't need to worry about funds; I have everything prepared here. You only need to do what you are supposed to do according to the plan; you don't need to worry about the rest."

"Boss, since you said that, we are relieved. I just said that our Zhang Ran System would definitely not be short of money," Geng Yichang hurriedly buttered him up.

The others looked at Geng Yichang on the screen one after another with some disdain in their eyes, but they also followed up by saying, "Right, we were just asking to have a sense of certainty."

"Alright, stop the flattery and listen to the Boss continue," Jiao Zhen had to stop them from going on.

Zhang Ran waited for them to quiet down and continued, "Even if we take a step back and say that we fail this time, or even if the entire Maikai Supermarket goes under, I can still guarantee that you won't be affected too much.

If one Maikai Supermarket is gone, I still have other industries. As long as you have the ability, don't be afraid of having no position.

As long as you have the ability, I can even pull someone down right now to let you move up."

Zhang Ran said this with immense dominance, while simultaneously revealing extremely strong self-confidence.

Hearing this, Geng Yichang and the others were fired up. If they have the ability, he will pull someone down right now to let them move up?

However, at the same time, they also heard Zhang Ran's other meaning: if you don't have the ability, you might be the one who gets pulled down.

But Geng Yichang and the others didn't care about this. Since they chose to follow Jiao Zhen from a State-owned Enterprise to a private company, it was because they had great confidence in their own abilities.

Otherwise, unless they were truly incompetent and had blind self-confidence, they wouldn't have made such a choice.

"Boss, don't worry. Your word is enough. I will definitely make Fengchao Supermarket pay the price!" Geng Yichang said full of confidence.

The others also expressed their stances one after another.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Since you have all said so, then I will also make a statement: I will give each of you an additional one million in activity funds. I don't care how you spend this money or where you spend it; I only want to see results."

"If anyone can be the first to crush the local Fengchao Supermarket, then I will also give out share rewards."

"Boss, is this true?" Geng Yichang and the others could no longer be described as just fired up; their eyes looked like they could eat someone, and their burning gazes were fixed tightly on Zhang Ran on the screen.

You have to know that among them, only Jiao Zhen had shares. Although their team had the share dividends promised by Zhang Ran, that was something to be obtained only after achieving results, and it was only a team dividend.

Now this was individual shares; who wouldn't be jealous?

Zhang Ran said, "Absolutely true!"

After finishing, Zhang Ran stared at Gu Fei, who hadn't spoken the whole time, and said, "Gu Fei, the same goes for you."

Gu Fei was stunned, and then, for some reason, a trace of emotion suddenly welled up in his heart. He hurriedly replied, "Thank you, President Zhang."

Previously, Zhang Ran said he would let bygones be bygones, but Gu Fei had actually always been worried, even if Zhang Ran hadn't moved against him.

Now it seemed that Zhang Ran had truly put this matter behind him; he, Gu Fei, did not need to worry about the past anymore.

Geng Yichang and the others were all stimulated by Zhang Ran's promise; one by one, they hurriedly went offline and then went off to fight with a roar.

The spirit that had been exhausted after a busy day was no longer tired; if they missed this opportunity, they didn't know how long they would have to wait for the next one.

"You certainly know how to motivate people," Jiao Zhen said with a chuckle as he watched the people hurriedly go offline to work.

Zhang Ran said, "If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat its fill, otherwise who will work for you?"

"Fine, let's not talk about this. I want to ask, to what extent do we need to go?" Jiao Zhen brought the topic back to the main point.

Zhang Ran said with burning eyes, "What extent? To the extent that they want to retreat but can't."

Jiao Zhen nodded and said, "Understood."

After finishing, he hung up the communication. He also had many things to be busy with. Compared to Geng Yichang and the others outside, his affairs were more numerous and more troublesome.

Not only did he have to lead Geng Yichang and the others well, but he also had to adjust the relationships with the original old-timers. He couldn't be like Zhang Ran, using high pressure to make these people bow their heads.

From the second day on, many people discovered that Maikai Supermarket was lowering prices like crazy, lowering them to the point that all the practitioners in the industry felt a chill in their hearts!

If they followed Maikai Supermarket like this, the profit margin would be pitifully low; it was estimated that it could only barely maintain the company's operations.

Fengchao Supermarket, which was being heavily besieged by Maikai Supermarket, also had to follow suit and lower prices. If they didn't lower them, the money lost every day would already make their hearts ache.

Not to mention anything else, even for things like fresh produce, if no one bought them, many would spoil in a single day.

But you couldn't stop stocking them either. Once someone came to buy and found you didn't have them, you could use some excuses to brush them off once or twice, but after a few times, people would think you didn't sell them anymore, so they wouldn't come to buy fresh produce or anything else in the future.

Another point was that once the goods here were unsalable, let alone the payments for the goods, if it went on for a long time, it would be difficult for the company to sustain itself.

Especially if suppliers or banks saw that they couldn't hold on, then those debt collectors could make them collapse in an instant.

So Fengchao Supermarket had to follow along. At this time, it was a matter of seeing whose capital was more robust.

But even so, Fengchao Supermarket found that their customer traffic was still not as good as Maikai Supermarket's.
