Who doesn’t want to make money after being reborn?

Chapter 232 We have become the public enemy of capitalists!

"The surname is Luo!"

"If I believe a word that comes out of your mouth, I will be an idiot!"

Brother Ma roared angrily and smashed the phone in his hand against the bookshelf.

The phone fell to pieces.

I feel much better after venting.

He rubbed his face, smiled stiffly at the frightened secretary, and looked carefully at the laptop screen in the secretary's hand.

Luo Hui's personal Weibo account was displayed on the screen.

Before five minutes.

That is to say, before he hung up the video call and picked up Jackma's video call, Luo Hui announced the ban on overtime on his personal account.

The content is brief.

But very scary.

Well, that little bastard doesn't follow martial ethics, and he derogates the 996 phenomenon in every possible way, and calls on all Internet companies to ban illegal overtime.

Even if you get a bargain, you still behave well.

grandma's.

Did you say it would be released tomorrow?

What a damn dog!

Not only do they make a fuss about the basic salary, but they also have to be clever in such trivial matters.

I'm really speechless.

Well, should you believe that about cutting executives’ salaries?

Let’s ask around first!

really.

After the news spread that Bytedance Group had raised wages for grassroots employees of its three major platform companies, reporters from various media outlets approached branch employees and grassroots managers on WeChat, TT, and Today’s Hotspot for interviews.

no way.

The boss of Bytedance is too arrogant and does not accept random media interviews at all.

They can only find branch managers or lower-level employees to complete interviews to further confirm the information.

Thanks to the efforts of reporters from various media outlets, the collective salary increase plan of ByteDance Group has gradually emerged.

The previous news was correct.

The basic salary of grassroots employees follows the same global strategy and is paid at the level of 4,000 euros.

However, this is only the basic salary. There are different levels of salary promotion standards based on different working years and contributions.

The salaries of management personnel have also been increased. Although the increase is not as large as that of grassroots employees, there is real room for improvement.

"Fortunately, I didn't believe it!"

After collecting the relevant information, Brother Ma patted his chest and was terrified: he had almost been deceived.

If we really follow the "well-intentioned" suggestion given by that guy, we can reduce the salary of managers to the limit and transfer all of it to grassroots employees.

It is estimated that executives will quit en masse.

By then, the entire Penguin Group will fall apart.

Things are figured out.

Then, the next response method will come out.

We can only aggrieve shareholders, make them lose part of their profits, reduce dividends, and use funds to raise wages for grassroots employees.

Very painful.

However, there is also good news: major domestic and international Internet giants have to follow suit and increase the salaries of grassroots employees!

The losses belong to everyone, not just the shareholders of Penguin Group.

acceptable.

No salary increase?

What a joke.

Believe it or not, all the programmers ran away instantly after the news spread?

Can an Internet company without the support of programmers still be called a company?

Just wait for death!

"Mr. Luo, the situation is not good. Several economists have jumped out to scold us."

"Don't be nervous, Xiaoda. These economists are dogs raised by capitalists. A few scoldings won't make them lose any weight."

"We have become the public enemy of the capitalists!"

"Hahahaha, I just like the way they hate us but can't kill us."

"Tsk, tsk, there are a lot of people who are worried about a salary increase."

"..."

In Luo Hui's office at Byteda's headquarters, the four founders gathered together to eat melon in a lively manner.

In just two days.

ByteDance Group's substantial salary increase for grassroots employees has caused quite a stir after being amplified by the media.

Of course the workers are happy.

We enthusiastically welcome this unreasonable salary increase and treat all employees equally.

However, such a showy operation is tantamount to disaster for the domestic Internet giants.

It's all my money!

Share it with those poor devils, what a sin!

Unfortunately, the big bosses did not dare to appear in person to confront Luo Hui and ByteDance. They could only instruct the so-called bricks and mortar to jump out and demonstrate the negative impact of high wages and high benefits on enterprises from all angles.

soon.

The salary increase controversy has affected industrial and real industries.

no way.

In order to appease their own programmers, major Internet companies had to follow Byte's lead in raising salaries.

Although they were very irritated, when they stood in front of the stage to perform, the bosses still spoke more honestly.

They all said that the company could withstand it!

By working hard on themselves, working hard on shareholders, and working hard on the second generation of rich people, they can always squeeze out money to raise the salaries of grassroots employees.

Then, the pressure came to the real industry.

Major Internet companies have raised wages.

Shouldn’t industrial enterprises and real industries rise?

As a result, the Internet has been flooded with posts and short videos of workers calling for higher wages.

pity.

The real industry boss is as steady as an old dog, pretending that he has heard and seen nothing, and has not made any statement on the demand for a salary increase.

Luo Hui didn't expect it either.

I just thought of a way to spend money, but it caused a huge storm and made everyone uneasy.

However, it's not a big problem.

The beneficiaries are the workers, and the only ones whose interests are harmed are the bosses and shareholders of the major Internet companies. Then play music, then dance.

He still had to drag the three founders to continue discussing the spending plan.

I haven't been idle these two days.

In addition to increasing wages for grassroots employees, the four people also reached two important consensuses.

One is to launch the second short video APP promotion plan.

The new short video APP is called RS.

Take an unusual step.

Directly based on the short drama, the short drama based on the paid model will generate profits.

The director has already prepared it.

It’s the Internet writing master brought by Wu Yang before.

Now, as long as these Internet literary masters are paired with corresponding crews, they can mass-produce short dramas that will impress people at any time.

Boss Ba’s plot arrangement.

The Return of the God of War is also scheduled.

Farming flow can also be arranged.

Fantasy dramas are indispensable.

In short, it has only one purpose: to turn the highly addictive online plot into a paid short drama to directly achieve the purpose of profit.

In order to cooperate with the RS content business, Bytedance Group has invested in four major film and television bases in Long Province, specially used for shooting various types of short dramas.

This is also the advantage of Long Province.

It has all kinds of terrain and features, and can be used to shoot fantasy dramas, fairy tale dramas, and science fiction themes.

Is it all a plot?

Isn’t this thing good enough to go directly to the devil?

There is no need to build a film and television base at all.

There is no need to train actors, they can just be poached directly from other domestic film and television bases.

Anyway, ByteDance's reputation for being rich and powerful has already been established, and now it is not difficult to recruit those extras according to the standards of regular employees.

Well, no star required.

It is expected that the RS short drama APP and the corresponding film and television base construction plan will consume tens of billions of funds.

The initial investment is relatively large.

As long as the short dramas that are full of earthiness and addictive are started to be mass-produced, the profitability can cover the investment.

Luo Hui had seen this before in his previous life, and he was unambiguous when it came to investing money.

The second is to invest heavily in the small pot tea project.

This is also a mature project that Luo Hui has seen in his previous life, and its profitability is very scary.

The main purpose is to build a tea brand and bring domestic tea production from the era of handicraft workshops into the era of industrial production.

The amount of funds consumed is also huge.

The main reason is that domestic tea gardens are basically in private hands, and there is no way to purchase them. They can only place orders with tea farmers to purchase tea.

At the same time, it is necessary to find a suitable tea tree cultivation environment and further build an industrial base.

The small pot tea project is Lao Du's strength. Luo Hui is only responsible for investing money, leaving all operations and marketing to Lao Du.

It was discussed for three days.

Three money-spending projects were identified.

Unfortunately, it seems that the amount of money spent is not enough.

According to current calculations, even such a large-scale investment cannot reduce the gross profit margin of its three major platforms below 50%.

I have to find another project that costs a lot of money!

This is also the focus of today's discussion.

"Get down to business!"

Luo Hui clapped his hands and interrupted the discussion of the other three people: "According to our calculations, we have to find a project that requires an investment of more than 50 billion per year to reduce the gross profit margin to less than %."

"Who can do it?"

"Or ideas."

"Hurry up and put it forward, let's spend the money as soon as possible."

"Then we have to formulate a dividend plan and rush to get this year's dividend to shareholders by the end of the year."

Well, there is another reason for being anxious to spend money - not wanting to pay too many dividends to shareholders.

grandma's.

Especially since there is such an annoying guy like Penguin Group among the shareholders of WeChat.

Luo Hui doesn't even want to pay dividends.

The two platforms, TT and Today's Hot Topics, do not have that many shareholders and can pay substantial dividends.

Keep the dividend money in your own hands and invest in some more promising projects.

"Chairman, I suggest you invest in some high-tech projects."

Ruan Feng pushed up his glasses and spoke.

"Speak directly if you have any ideas. You are a financial expert and are better at investing than the three of us combined. Don't hide your clumsiness."

Luo Hui smiled and raised his hand to signal the other party to speak.

Don't have any worries.

Ruan Feng glanced around calmly, and when he saw the other three people looking at him, he lost his reserve: "Frankly speaking, although our three major platforms seem to be very profitable, it seems that the future will be very bright."

"It's actually very fragile."

"if."

"What I'm saying is if, it may not happen, it's just a hypothesis."

"If Android and Ai Crazy 4 directly ban our APP from the source, they can strangle our living space at any time."

"in short."

"All of our current profitability is based on a fair Internet environment."

"But, fairness is relative."

"It can't last forever."

"We must do a good job of maintaining strong profitability and influence in a harsh survival environment."

"In order to achieve our goal of survival, we cannot be complacent and rush to open the champagne to celebrate."

“But we have to walk on thin ice and prepare for our survivability in the harsh business environment.”

"To put it bluntly, we need to build our own operating system platform to avoid being strangled by others."
