Bao Shijie's sudden speech caused the entire office to become quiet!

It was as if an extremely inharmonious note had cut through the sky. It seemed very ordinary, but it actually shocked everyone's heart!

Huang Xing calmed his emotions. To be exact, he never would have thought that Bao Shijie would take his place in front of everyone. He wanted to slap him across the face and tell him to be polite to his superiors. But reason reminded him that he could not do so. If he did this, he could only go further with his subordinates. Huang Xing lit a cigarette and continued to calm his mood. He pretended to be indifferent and asked: Oh? Tell me what you think.

Bao Shijie said in indignation: I feel that this idea is betting the life of the entire merchant! Now, the business district's performance was pretty good, and it was rising day by day. Indeed! But we have to keep a clear mind. We have to develop. However, if one took too many steps, it would be easy to twist his legs. It would take at least several hundred million to lay down the opposite side of the river. After that, we will need to prepare at least one billion yuan for the initial investments such as decoration, publicity, personnel, and commodities! And how long would it take to recoup the cost of one billion dollars? In fact, once the money we invest goes to waste, our side of the mall will also be greatly affected. We can't afford it. Although the Dream Group was behind him, no one could guarantee that once the fire broke out in Hedong City and the investment failed, would the Dream Group come here to save the fire or just give up? Yes, I admit that our Xin Meng Plaza is one of the most outstanding enterprises in the whole of Jinan, and even in Shandong. But in the eyes of the Dream Group, we are just pawns. Everyone understood the principle of throwing a car away. If our plan fails, at most, it would be like the Dream Group's flesh getting rotten. Would they spend a lot of money to treat us, or would they just directly cut off the flesh with a knife? I don't think any of us would dare draw a conclusion. Therefore, I feel that our main task at this stage is not to think about how to expand, but to calm down and start from the inside, to increase our market share of space …

He talked on and on, spittle flying.

A few managers could not help but nod their heads, as if they agreed with Bao Shijie's point of view.

There was no doubt, Huang Xing also felt that his words had some truth to it, and it matched his own point of view. But since Fu Jie had already decided to do something, as the general manager, he did not want to take down Fu Jie's position. Especially these seemingly reasonable words, from Bao Shijie's mouth, it also became a type of detestable taste. Therefore, Huang Xing could only bite the bullet and retort Bao Shijie's point of view: Do you want to learn how to shut down the Great Qing Dynasty and lock down your country? The Emperor of Great Qing thought that his country was rich and powerful, and that other countries were vulnerable, fearing that they would be affected by an outsider's backward culture, so he locked up his country and people. And the result? As a result, the allied armies of the eight countries entered China, followed by the Ma Gang Treaty, the Xin Chou Treaty, and all sorts of unequal treaties. Following that, the Japanese scum entered China! Where did the so-called powerful country go? Lagging behind in self-indulgence and self-satisfaction! Our Xin Meng Plaza is the same as well. Yes, our performance right now is not bad. It is the biggest luxury high-end brand base in the entire province. But this was only now! The most basic and the most ordinary of them all were the ones that had the most development! How much of the rich and rich could there be in the whole province? One in ten thousand? 0.1%? Is there? However, there were a lot of commoners who earned a lot of money from their work. As the saying goes, those who gain the hearts of the people will gain the world. Only by being able to serve the people will they be able to achieve better development! Therefore, we must do the middle and lower end of the market!

Huang Xing brought out the great principles that Fu Jie had taught him.

Naturally, this theory of his won the tacit approval and approval of many people.

Bao Shijie was obviously not convinced. It was as if from the moment he entered the Xin Meng Plaza, he was destined to become Huang Xing's nemesis and enemy. Whatever Huang Xing suggested, he would almost always oppose it. Bao Shijie continued: These are two different things! The location of our Xin Meng Plaza is the high-end route! Once he started that. The low end of things will be a huge challenge to our brand effect. We were clearly eating delicacies from the sea, why did we turn around to eat steamed buns? A high-end garment like ours could sell for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. Profit is self-evident. But how much profit can a low-end garment bring us if it can only be sold for a few dozen dollars and a few hundred dollars? The profits from one of our high-end clothing are about the same as the combined profits from hundreds of low-key clothing, or even more. Tell me, why should we leave our delicacies uneaten? Why must we eat hard steamed buns? Furthermore...

Huang Xing interrupted him: But have you considered the fact that the proportion of rich people who can afford to spend in Xin Meng Plaza is only one in a thousand! The other 999 out of 1,000 were commoners. It was possible for a commoner to buy tens, or even dozens, of medium- and low-end clothing items a year. However, in the luxury goods market, no matter how rich one was, they would rarely be able to reach this level. Steamed buns and cabbages were cheap, but they were commoners' daily meals. The sea cucumber abalone was expensive, but it was exclusive to the rich! Moreover, it could not be used as a daily necessity. If we want to have a longer term development, we must follow the road of popularization! On the other hand, the clients we serve can only be targeted at the rich. We also want to serve the general public, to provide the common people with some goods of good quality and low prices, and a good shopping environment.

Bao Shijie said in a strong voice: I don't agree with you! We are merchants, and the existence of merchants is for their own benefits! Don't make the merchant sound so noble. Business does not need such hypocrisy. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. We need to earn money, earn more money, and support our employees as well as the company. Of course, we need to support ourselves. What you're talking about is a mass route. Playing the zither! Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, they were all on the high-end route, right? Their sales may not be comparable to those of the domestic autonomous cars that cost fifty or sixty thousand yuan a car. However, their profits and brand value could not be compared to those domestic vehicles that sold several tens of thousands of units in a month! It was just like a famous A-list celebrity. The money he earned, the benefits he brought, the value he brought to society, etc. Even hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of commoners could not achieve this! If these famous celebrities stopped filming and singing, and went out to sell cabbages on the streets... Wouldn't that be laughable? Our Xin Meng Plaza is the same. We have been doing well at the high end and have been improving by leaps and bounds. Yet, he suddenly had to invest billions of dollars to sell cabbages... Isn't that ironic? Have you considered that this would be a provocation to our high-end route, while perhaps putting us in a predicament or even a crisis? We need to be heavily indebted, we need to be on edge, because we can't be sure that the cabbages will sell, will they rot?

Huang Xing saw that Bao Shijie was getting more and more agitated, and felt that there was no point in continuing to debate like this. On the other hand, he suddenly had a bright idea, and thought, since Bao Shijie rejected this idea so much, he might as well use this opportunity to embarrass himself in front of Fu Jie, and shake off his position and influence in Fu Jie's heart.

After making up his mind, Huang Xing deliberately used an extremely stiff tone and said: "It's useless to argue with me here! My idea is set, if you have any objections, you can report it to Boss Fu! I don't have time to listen to your bullshit here!

Bao Shijie coldly snorted. I'll go right now! I think that Boss Fu will definitely … He will definitely find this idea of yours absurd!

After he finished speaking, he actually walked out of the office.

Huang Xing was secretly happy, thinking, how could this guy be fooled so easily, that he went and hit the gun himself! Pitiful, this self-righteous fellow, how could he have known that Huang Xing's thoughts were actually Fu Jie's own intentions! Huang Xing only took it out, to get to the bottom of it!

Seeing Bao Shijie leave, Huang Xing looked at the rest of the leaders, and asked: Anyone else who has any objections can say so boldly. We are, we are.

Everyone looked at each other. It was as if they were all quietly observing the situation and following the flow of the crowd. This was the best way for everyone to protect themselves when encountering similar problems. Only Ouyang Mengjiao suddenly stood up and said to Huang Xing: I feel that … I'm not... Not very much. It's too risky, and. And the time is not yet ripe.

Huang Xing frowned. He was a little angry at Ouyang Mengjiao's disgrace. However, everyone has their own thoughts and rights to speak, Huang Xing could only pretend to be patient and said: There are risks in everything, we can do a good job of market research, do a good job of risk assessment, and keep the risks to a minimum. Of course, the risk involved was proportional to the reward. In the past, when the Boss Yu spent a lot of money to establish the Xin Meng Plaza, the risk was even greater. But we succeeded. Just now, when he was packing … The Package Manager mentioned that the Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi, he used this as an example to prove his point of view. Indeed, these three manufacturers all took the high-end route, and their sales weren't cheap. However, there was a common owner behind all of them, and that was the Volkswagen Group! We all know that the BMW Mercedes-Benz Audi are all subsidiaries owned by the general public. Volkswagen is the world's most famous auto manufacturer, the major group. What route did it take? High, medium and low end cars, all of them. And they were all successful. Therefore, our target is not the Audi factory, nor is it the BMW Mercedes-Benz factory. We want to become a mass group! Can you understand what I mean?

This clever analogy once again inspired everyone.
