Homo sapiens.

Chapter 37 Because of Technology
Dart Harbor.

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

After the merger and integration, Fengrao House has opened Fengrao Supermarket, Fengrao Hotel, Fengrao Fast Food here, and also controls the local farmer's market, wharf, and passenger station.

The person in charge of this enterprise is Huang Keming, who had previously worked in Xiangjiang Watsons.

He is currently inspecting the work of various business departments in Dart Harbor. After all, this place is under the nose of the big boss. If something goes wrong, it will be useless to do it in other places no matter how good it is.

After the full integration, the House of Abundance has a lot of resources.

For example, farmers' markets, warehousing, transportation companies, hotels, supermarkets, and fast food companies are all industries that can be connected in one line.

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

Huang Keming, who has served as a supply chain manager at Watsons, knows very well that the House of Harvest can get through these links, which means that efficiency will be improved and costs will be reduced.

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

After re-integration, the current egg cost price 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 must know that the average salary of ordinary people in Luzon is between 4800 and 6500 pesos per month, which is equivalent to 600 to 800 Chinese yuan per month.

The salary is so low, but the consumption level is equivalent to that of the second and third tier cities in Huaguo, and the living standards of the locals can be imagined.

The Harvest House naturally respects the local wage level, and the wages offered are not much different from those of local companies.

The reason why high wages are not offered is, on the one hand, to avoid being hostile by local companies, and on the other hand, to avoid capital outflows.

With low wages, employees save less, and those employees naturally don't spend money on pricier cell phones, cars, and luxuries.

While the wages are low, the Harvest Family, or the entire Homo sapiens family, has adopted another supplement, that is, employee performance points.

At present, the model that 1 point is equal to 1 peso is adopted, allowing employees to use points to obtain a 20% deduction when they consume in their own stores.

If an employee buys a dozen eggs at Fengrao Supermarket and the price is 90 pesos, he only needs to pay 72 pesos, and the remaining 18 pesos are deducted from the points.

Moreover, when the employee card is used in private, the relatives of the employee are basically allowed to use the card for consumption.

The purpose of this is very simple. On the one hand, it is to stimulate the consumption of employees, and to absorb the wages of employees 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 skyrocket, Homo sapiens can use performance points to adjust the price level in the control area, which is equivalent to obtaining a part of currency sovereignty.

Since the performance points can only be used within Homo Sapiens, and the scope of circulation is also in the southern part of Luzon Island, it has not attracted the attention of Manila.

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

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

Although other businesses can also give customers discounts, or send customers coupons.

The problem is that behind the Harvest House is the entire Homo sapiens enterprise. Those subsidiaries have many employees, and with their relatives, the consumption power of the entire city has been siphoned.

……

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

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

The buck-toothed woman said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, Fengrao Supermarket has a 9% discount on the entire site, and there are also special specials. The first to get the specials."

"really?"

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

"Working in Fengrao Supermarket? I really envy them. There are preferential prices and internal discounts."

These things spread quickly through the mouths of some women among the common people throughout Dart Harbor.

The bosses of other supermarkets or shops, on the other hand, looked sad, secretly cursing the early closure of Harvest House.

But it is the nature of many people to seek small gains.

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

In addition, the price of goods in Fengrao Supermarket was originally slightly lower than other supermarkets, which naturally made it more attractive.

the next morning.

Before the Fengrao Supermarket opened, there were a lot of women queuing up at the door.

When the supermarket manager led the staff to open the door, the crowd suddenly rushed into the supermarket like a wave amidst yelling and buying.

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

Not far from the Fengrao Supermarket, a recruitment store affiliated to the Coral Construction Company was also full of applicants at this time.

Recently, Coral Construction Company has obtained a lot of engineering projects, and its own employees can hardly meet the needs of engineering construction, so it has begun to recruit a large number of construction workers.

The behavior of coral construction also has the purpose of cash-for-work.

Homo sapiens, a company with deep pockets, has approved the construction projects of 5 employee quarters at once, one of which is on the outskirts of Dart Harbor.

Coral Construction is currently responsible for the construction of these 5 employee communities. Among them, the community of Dart Harbor has 1000 households planned for the first phase.

Of course, this kind of staff room is not distributed to employees, but leased to them, but the rent is very low. The plan is 1 peso per square meter per month, and points can also be used to offset part of it.

Many people may think that when the wage level is higher than that of regional counterparts, the competitiveness of enterprises will decline.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

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

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

So what is a giant?

Covering life, old age, sickness and death, basic necessities of life, medical education, culture and entertainment, energy and minerals, finance, the Internet, military-industrial warfare, scientific research, equipment research and development, etc.

Enterprises that have controlled the entire industrial chain from the upstream to the downstream of the industry are called "giant enterprises".

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

Just like the Harvest House at this moment, which is also a supermarket, the purchase cost of the Harvest House is only about half of that of other companies. How do other companies compete?

This kind of industrial chain crushing is sometimes unreasonable.

Although the Homo sapiens company has not yet evolved into a full-fledged giant company, there is already a prototype of a giant company at this time, and it is more than enough to cooperate with the local Fernando family to kill those local companies.

The future must be the era of giant enterprises.

Li Qingye has already seen through the essence of human society at this time, and naturally has a precise deduction for the future of mankind.

Why is he so sure?
Because of technology.

Yes, because of technology.
