Chapter 932: 927. Buying Off Employees (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

If it could be said that Zhang Ran forced Huang Lin to state his position last night, then today he was forcing people like Wang Cheng.

Just like yesterday, Zhang Ran did not know whether these people would stir up any trouble, but he needed to give them a heads-up in advance.

Zhang Ran's meaning now was for them to honestly cooperate with the integration, otherwise, they shouldn't blame him for settling scores later.

And the reason Zhang Ran asked for Siyan's opinion was actually quite obvious; this integration was done for Sicheng and the others.

If an incident like the one with the Goddess of Destiny were to happen again, Sicheng and the others would not have the ability to integrate it.

So, those who are smart should not go looking for trouble for themselves.

Otherwise, not everyone would be able to withstand Zhang Ran's wrath when the time comes.

In fact, ever since Zhang Ran told Huang Lin and the others the news, the entire Supervision Department had already begun to mobilize.

They didn't need to do anything; they only needed to keep an eye on these people for Zhang Ran, so that they wouldn't end up uniting together.

What was Zhang Ran most afraid of right now?

Naturally, it was that Huang Lin, Feng Hui, and these people would unite; once these high-level executives of the Group Company reached a unified opinion, it would not be easy for Zhang Ran to take action.

Because in that case, the one who would suffer the greatest loss would definitely be Zhang Ran.

This could also be considered a form of checks and balances, although such checks and balances were difficult to achieve.

Zhang Ran wandered around the Sales Department for a while and chatted with some employees; the main content of the conversation was about salary payments and some welfare benefits.

He actually encountered some problems, but they were all very small issues, yet they still made sweat bead on Wang Cheng's forehead.

Zhang Ran appeared very amiable and didn't look angry at all, while simultaneously urging Wang Cheng to hurry up and resolve these minor matters.

Finally, Zhang Ran asked a question, "If your sales channels were expanded and a shopping website were established at the same time, what impact would that have on your sales?"

Zhang Ran seemed to ask this quite casually; the employee who was asked was stunned for a moment, then said with some pleasant surprise: "If that were the case, it could be said to be a very good thing for us. The current online shopping market is becoming increasingly hot, especially with the increase in trust toward e-commerce."

"Many people are willing to buy large items online, and our current online sales channels are still somewhat incomplete."

"Most of them rely on the Fengli Group side; if we could build a website similar to theirs, then it would definitely be a good thing for us."

"Hmm, I understand what you mean. If possible, I will urge the Fengli Group side," Zhang Ran said with a smile.

This question seemed to be lightly brushed over, but it made some sales staff feel excited.

Because an increase in sales channels meant that their commissions could be higher, and there would also be more management positions.

Huang Lin sighed inwardly on the side; Zhang Ran was using this point to win over these employees.

In fact, this was something Zhang Ran had planned long ago; currently, because of previous reasons, the Fengli Group was the sole dominant force in the domestic online shopping market.

But it also faced many problems.

Therefore, Zhang Ran wanted to peel off the electrical appliance business from the Fengli Group's online shopping website and let the Huamei Group do it.

This could achieve specialization.

Moreover, the Fengli Group was not primarily engaged in electrical appliances; if Zhang Ran paid a little price in this regard, it could be fully achieved.

Huamei was actually quite advantageous in this aspect because Huamei had very good after-sales channels, which was also a good thing for some merchants.

If merchants were allowed to choose, they would definitely be willing to choose Huamei.

The reason Huamei hadn't built its own online shopping platform in the past, besides not grasping the timing, was mainly because they were reluctant to spend money.

If one wanted to smash out a website, money would definitely have to be scattered in large amounts.

Many online shopping platforms were actually spending investors' money, and the investors were also optimistic about this project.

At the same time, they had already spent a lot in the early stages and found it difficult to give up, so they could only grit their teeth and hold on.

But Huamei was different; every cent they spent was their own money, real and tangible benefits.

This was unacceptable to some of the previous shareholders, and at that time, they were still the number one retailer in the country, especially in terms of electrical appliances.

By the time they came to their senses, it was already too late, and the costs were even higher, making them even more reluctant.

Zhang Ran was now effectively increasing the benefits for the Huamei Group, especially for the employees of the Sales Department.

After throwing out this question, Zhang Ran continued to tour the headquarters with Huang Lin, not taking these matters to heart.

Watching the backs of Zhang Ran and the others as they left, Wang Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief; this Big Boss was truly hard to fathom.

At the same time, Wang Cheng also understood one thing, which was that Zhang Ran was determined to carry out this integration.

If Wang Cheng became a stumbling block, he reckoned Zhang Ran would be the first to operate on him.

Didn't he see that Zhang Ran had already started making promises to the sales staff below?

During the subsequent tour, Zhang Ran also only asked some simple questions, while urging some department leaders to distribute welfare benefits and the like in a timely manner.

Although these were all small favors, they could undoubtedly increase his prestige among the employees.

And at this time, prestige was incomparably important.

If Zhang Ran had both prestige and trust among these employees, then there would be much less trouble for the things that followed.

Those with ulterior motives would also need to reconsider.

This continued until four o'clock in the afternoon, when Zhang Ran and the others finally arrived at the Investment Department.

The Investment Department could be considered a medium-sized department at the Huamei Headquarters; those subsidiaries were basically the credit of the Investment Department.

In the Investment Department, Zhang Ran was no longer as amiable as before; instead, he became somewhat serious.

This made the Manager of the Investment Department, Zhong Yu, feel panicked in his heart.

Wasn't everything fine before?

How did it become like this as soon as he reached his side?

Fortunately, Zhang Ran's first sentence made him feel a little more at ease, "I have read Chairman Huang's report; over these many years, Manager Zhong has done quite well, adding a lot of strength to the Huamei Group and making the Group's competitiveness in the market increasingly strong."

Zhong Yu did not expect Zhang Ran's first sentence to be a compliment to him, so he was stunned for a moment, but quickly said hurriedly: "These are all things I should do, and it is also due to your wise leadership."

This remark left even Zhang Ran speechless; he had only returned in the last few years, so how was it his wise leadership?

Manager Zhong seemed to have come to his senses as well and wanted to say something, but then didn't know how to change his words, suddenly feeling quite awkward.

Fortunately, Zhang Ran did not dwell on this, and smiled, letting it pass.
