Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

”Gao Yuxiang insists that the material and style are different and that it’s just a new product using an old link. But I checked on Jingdong and found that the exact same product was also sold for 49 yuan on the same day. Moreover, the business licenses for both stores belong to the same company.”

Seeing Chen Yansen, Li Bin explained everything in a clear and organized manner.

”Haven’t you studied the Investment Attraction regulations? For a flash sale product that a price comparison editor has rejected, you either take it down or adjust the promotion’s intensity. What gives you the guts to argue about it? Tell me.”

Chen Yansen looked down at Gao Yuxiang and asked coldly.

”Brother Sen, I asked the merchant, and they confirmed it’s an old link. The product in the promotion is a new one.”

Gao Yuxiang looked flustered and hurriedly tried to defend himself.

”Xu Kun, what’s your take on this?” Chen Yansen asked, turning to Xu Kun. Xu Kun was currently in charge of several smaller categories like underwear, bags, and accessories. Since the product had reached Li Bin, it meant Xu Kun must have approved it.

”Brother Sen, I did a price comparison. After a comprehensive evaluation based on the brand’s positioning, the materials used, and the rankings of best-selling underwear styles across the internet, I believe the final price of 54.9 yuan is reasonable,” Xu Kun replied.

”Did the merchant send you screenshots? Did you look at the product editing pages for the new and old items? You just believe whatever they tell you? Are you an employee of the brand, or an employee of FoxTao?”

After hearing Xu Kun’s explanation, Chen Yansen nodded slightly, then continued to question Gao Yuxiang.

Xu Kun also bore some responsibility in this matter, but he hadn’t caused a huge scene arguing with people, so Chen Yansen directed his fire at Gao Yuxiang.

Gao Yuxiang was speechless. He knew his reasoning wouldn’t hold up, but for the sake of his commission, for the money, he took a chance and submitted the application form anyway.

He hadn’t expected it to pass the category review only to get stuck with a junior editor like Li Bin.

Seeing him remain silent, Chen Yansen became furious. With a grim face, he snapped, ”First, make the merchant add a 10% commission. Second, apologize to Li Bin. Third, your commission for this month is cut by 1%. If you can do the job, then do it. If you can’t, then get the hell out!”

Gao Yuxiang’s face turned pale, then livid, but in the end, he nodded obediently. Dejectedly, he bowed to Li Bin and apologized, ”I’m sorry. I spoke without thinking just now. I was wrong.”

Li Bin snorted and grudgingly accepted.

”Yifeng, call all the Investment Attraction staff over!” Chen Yansen, his anger still simmering, beckoned to Zhang Yifeng.

The few people who had been watching the spectacle from Room 212 suddenly had a bad feeling. They quickly wiped the smiles off their faces and came out with their heads bowed.

”The Investment Attraction team doesn’t just accept whatever deal a merchant offers! If it were that simple, what would I need you for? I could just have the editors do it! All of you, go back and copy the Investment Attraction manual!”

”I’m only allowing this to happen once. If there’s a next time, you’re fired on the spot!”

After he finished, Chen Yansen looked at Li Bin and said, ”Price comparison requires this kind of meticulousness. When you run into problems, don’t hesitate to consult your colleagues in the category teams. You have to understand the products better than the Investment Attraction team does to earn their genuine respect.”

”I’ll give you a bonus at the end of the month. I have high hopes for you. Don’t limit your own development to your current position.”

Chen Yansen said, patting his shoulder.

”Thank you, Brother Sen! I’ll definitely work hard.” Li Bin was in high spirits. Gao Yuxiang had been chewed out and had his commission percentage docked by 1%, while he himself had been praised and was getting a bonus. Naturally, he was ecstatic.

The ten Investment Attraction employees hung their heads. Someone shot a vicious glare at Gao Yuxiang.

The first conflict between FoxTao’s price comparison editors and the Investment Attraction team ended in a crushing defeat for the latter.

Li Bin was the ’nail’ he had planted in the operations department. His purpose was to keep an eye on the Investment Attraction staff and make sure they didn’t pull any tricks, or conspire with merchants to pull tricks.
