Chapter 97 Which link went wrong?
The response to the beauty company was quicker than Duke expected.
noon.
"Mr. Lunn, Ms. Bonnie, hello."
Duke met the two reporters who came for the beauty company in Building 4.
Coincidentally, these two people were the two reporters who accidentally rescued Duke and Jean from the Hyena Gang last time. They also wrote a special article looking for the unknown heroes.
Of course, they were not here for the unknown hero at this time, nor did they know that this unknown hero, whom they had been searching for so hard, was sitting opposite them.
"Hello, Mr. Duke, it's an honor to meet you!"
Both were very polite.
This was the first official meeting between the two parties. After introducing each other, Alyssa brought over sweet milk tea, and the other party got straight to the point.
"That's right, Mr. Duke, I heard that you opened a 'beauty and beauty company'. Can I interview you about this?"
Bonnie was a little reserved.
After all, the man in front of her was not only a businessman, but also a nobleman. In her impression, the noble men in Dawn City had some quirks, such as hating being interviewed. If Duke was like this, then they would be in vain this time.
Got busy.
Next to him, Lunn had already taken out pen and paper, ready to record at any time.
A reassuring smile appeared on Duke's face.
"Of course, I'm happy to be interviewed by Shuguang Daily."
What he said was true. Duke had been thinking before that if he wanted to build a reputation as a beauty and beauty company, he had to at least be prepared with both hands.
Clare and Servais's word-of-mouth is one method, but it may be a bit slow to ferment.
So Duke thought it was better to advertise.
His good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but it takes time for the aroma of the problem to spread. If this time can be saved, why not do it?
There are many ways to advertise. In Dawn City, newspapers are a relatively common one. However, precisely because this industry is relatively prosperous, there are many types of newspapers. Duke is a little undecided about which one to choose.
It turned out that while he was still thinking about it, two people from Shuguang Daily came to his door.
Shuguang Daily is a relatively large newspaper in the newspaper industry. It is a newspaper with an official background and is obviously a good partner.
And the most important thing is that Duke didn't ask them to advertise, this was them taking the initiative to interview.
Doesn't this mean that female votes can be given away?
How could Duke let such a good thing go? Naturally, he wanted the other party to interview him quickly.
He even sighed, "As expected of a reporter, this nose is really smart!"
Bonnie and Lunn were relieved when they heard Duke didn't refuse.
They thought Duke would refuse directly, and they were all prepared to be rejected. After all, their interview this time was "confidential."
"Okay, then our interview will officially begin. If you have anything that is inconvenient to say or want to cut out, you can tell us and we will definitely respect your opinions!"
Bonnie said politely.
Others may not know Duke's identity. At most, they know that Duke is a minor aristocrat, but they are well-informed about Dawn Daily. In addition, Dawn Daily is headquartered in the West City and has quite a business relationship with the Elvis family, so Bonnie
You know, this Duke is no ordinary little nobleman, but a direct descendant of the Elvis family!
The newspapers in the City of Dawn indeed dared to say anything, as if they were speaking without restraint, but she didn't dare!
If she really angered this big boss, she didn't know if Shuguang Daily would be in trouble, but she knew she might be in trouble.
So before the interview, she would try to make it clear to Duke. Even after the interview, she would give the manuscript to Duke to check to make sure there were no problems before it could be published in the newspaper.
This is of course against the rules, but when facing a direct descendant of a big family, rules and so on have long been insignificant.
Duke was a little surprised by the other party's politeness, but he could probably guess that this might be the reason for the Elvis family. Duke nodded and didn't say much.
The interview begins soon.
However, the content of the interview was somewhat different from what Duke thought.
"Excuse me, are the employees of Beauty and Beauty Company divided into levels? Are there levels from one to ten?"
"Yes……"
"Can you please tell me the differences between the various levels? Are they as rumored? Of course, if you think this is a business secret, you don't have to say it and we will move on to the next question."
"This is not a secret. My employees know it very well. Since you want to know, let me briefly introduce it..."
Duke was thoughtful as he introduced the employee levels.
He had thought that the two reporters came here because of Claire and Servais, but he didn't expect that it was because of employee welfare issues.
But after thinking about it for a while, Duke gradually understood.
After all, Claire and Servais have extraordinary status. Even if something is spread, it will take a certain amount of time.
But these Duke employees are different.
Except for some employees of Tiandun Security Company who need to live here for training, employees of Beauty and Beauty Company do not necessarily have to live in the company. Some employees still go to work during the day and go back at night.
The more people leave, the faster the news will be transmitted...
Although things were a little different from what he thought, Duke was not disappointed. Anyway, advertising, no matter what angle it is from, as long as it is positive.
After listening to the introduction of Duke's employee level benefits, the two reporters had shocked expressions on their faces, and Lunn almost stopped writing.
They had only vaguely heard some vague remarks before. What was the specific situation, the employees were unwilling to disclose it, even to death.
After all, among these employees, salary and other matters may be confidential. They dare not say anything without the boss's permission. After all, they cannot lose the job they finally found.
Now the two reporters were listening to the boss Duke introducing various benefits in detail. From the initial shock to the final numbness, they no longer knew what to say.
Their monthly salary is about three to four hundred yuan, which sounds like a lot, but in a year it is only about four thousand yuan, which does not include food and accommodation, and they have to pay for their own transportation...
The lowest level employee under Duke Company earns more than 2,000 yuan a year, let alone senior employees.
Moreover, they also have various benefits. Some companies provide free lunch, and if you work overtime, they will also provide a midnight snack and so on.
Although this meal doesn't cost much, the intention is very sincere.
Not to mention, Duke also said that he would purchase some special vehicles for the company in a few days to transport employees and other benefits.
Good guy, this boss is so considerate!
This is not a company, this is my home!
Especially since Duke just jokingly said that if they are willing to come and work, Duke will give them the benefits of initial second- or third-level employees.
Bonnie has good mental arithmetic skills. After a little calculation based on these benefits, the annual income of the second-level employees is almost 4,000 yuan, and the annual income of the third-level employees is 6,000 yuan!
The most important thing is that overtime pay is calculated separately!
This is much more comfortable than them working overtime every day without getting any money.
But in the end, the two declined. After all, one is that they like the profession of journalists, and the other is that because of the last unknown hero incident, as witnesses, they were highly praised by the newspaper's senior management. Not surprisingly, they will have a good future.
I have traveled a lot, there is no need to give up my hobbies just for this little money...
After introducing employee benefits, Duke personally took the two of them to visit the beauty company.
This made the two young reporters a little flattered. When had they ever enjoyed this kind of treatment? Duke was a member of the Elvis family.
There was nothing Duke could do. In order to build up the reputation of his company, he, the person who was most familiar with the company, naturally had to take action himself.
Three hours later, after seeing off the two dizzy little reporters, Duke rubbed his chin and thought.
This time it was unintentional. Shuguang Daily has a large circulation, which may make the beauty company an instant success.
The original intention of the two reporters was to interview the employee benefits of the beauty company, but how could Duke just be satisfied with this?
He revealed many projects in the beauty company without leaving any trace, and asked the other party to record it. I believe that after the newspaper is published, it will definitely attract a lot of people.
At night, the news about Bonnie reached Ping'an Street.
In addition to a polished article, it was also stated that the publication date of this article would be three days later. If Duke did not make any changes, it would be set as such.
Duke took a look at the article and found that it did not discredit him or the company, so he readily agreed.
In the next few days, Duke didn't go anywhere. Apart from the daily exercise program that Qin set for him, he was studying the insurance business.
With the assistance of No. 2, he came up with many standard insurance policies, all targeting the City of Dawn.
After checking it again on the 2nd and confirming that there were no problems, Duke was ready to go back and put these insurances on the market.
In the past few days, some people have come here because of the insurance. However, because Duke only had an insurance for its own employees before, these businesses declined. Now with these insurances, Duke will not let anyone come again.
Gone.
Three days have passed since the interview, and the new issue of the newspaper has finally started to be released.
Duke had already subscribed to Shuguang Daily, and someone delivered it early in the morning.
After seeing the newspaper, Duke was a little surprised that it was on the front page.
However, after reading the title above, Duke had a dark look on his face.
[The most conscientious entrepreneur in the history of Auroville?]
This title completely puts Duke on the fire.
It attracts so much hatred!
But... Duke doesn't care. Although the title is a bit unflattering, the content is still the same and nothing has changed.
When Duke launched these benefits, he had already imagined that when those entrepreneurs saw it, they might be hostile to him.
After all, this is a bit of a job loss. Duke provides such good benefits to its employees, which will definitely attract many people to come there. There are only so many people, and if there are more Duke here, then there will be fewer of them!
Of course, this is not actually the most important thing. After all, Duke only has two small companies. It would be overwhelming to have hundreds of people. Even if they poach corners, they won't be able to poach much.
But most importantly, Duke set a benchmark.
A benchmark for “conscientious entrepreneurs”!
With this benchmark, there is a comparison. When people look for jobs in the future, they may first compare with Duke's company.
If you find that you can't compare at all, will they say that your company is unscrupulous?
Although this is a fact and most companies are unscrupulous, everyone has acquiesced, the company has acquiesced, and the employees have acquiesced. In other words, employees have no choice and will starve to death if they don't work.
However, when these things are placed on the table, the situation is different.
People's words are terrible. If more people say it, false things will become true.
If someone has been saying that your company is unscrupulous for a long time, then you are unscrupulous. If you want to clear your name at that time, you will have to pay a huge price, not to mention that you are not innocent in the first place.
Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, there are probably only two options. One is to follow Duke's footsteps and give them whatever benefits Duke gives.
But absolutely no one would dare to do this, at least for the time being. After all, it would really result in losses! If you want to do business at a loss, you might as well not do it at all.
The other option is to cause trouble for Duke's company. As for Duke's company not being able to continue operating, then the "benchmark" will have fallen, and the threat will naturally be gone.
Relatively speaking, the second method is simpler.
Therefore, Duke had already anticipated this situation and was prepared.
This exaggerated title just moves the time forward a little.
Doing business is just about cheating, and seeing who gets cheated will kill the other.
Duke's purpose is very simple. He squeezes his employees a little bit, but he pays generously. He wants a win-win situation.
As for whether Duke is afraid of involving himself, of course he is not.
After all, his company has real materials.
Moreover, he is not afraid of other people's dirty tricks.
His own identity is here, plus Qin also holds shares in the beauty company... So although this company may be small, there are two big forces behind it.
Even if the Elvis family doesn't help Duke, Qin's family will definitely help Qin, which Qin personally guarantees.
The 20% stake in Duke Beauty Company was not given away for free.
Either they compete seriously to see who can beat whom, or they just watch Duke rise...
The newspaper was just released today, so everything is still calm.
The beauty company has no customers yet. After all, the location is too bad and the location is inherently deficient.
But although the beauty company has no customers, the security company's business has been good recently.
Ever since Duke opened up the security company's business to the outside world.
One after another, people came looking for me.
But basically it’s all one kind of business – armed escort.
Dawn City has not been very peaceful recently. I heard that some ghosts would appear every night, and many people were injured by them. Each one of them spoke in a convincing way.
Even during the day, people were suffering.
The past month has been the busiest month for the Metropolitan Police Department this year.
Duke naturally didn't believe the theory of ghosts. He speculated that they might be some psychopathic wanted criminals, or awakened people, or even out-of-control people.
But no matter what, Dawn City has indeed been in some chaos recently.
Many wealthy people, businessmen, and even nobles have begun to recruit bodyguards.
Duke's Tiandun Security Company is just a little-known small company. There are not many people who come to the company to be personal bodyguards, but there are quite a lot of people looking for armed escorts.
Tiandun Security Company's armed escort prices are divided into several grades, among which the lower prices seem to be very cost-effective.
Those businessmen are good at budgeting carefully. They don't want to spend too much money and don't want their goods to be damaged, so they choose Tiandun Security Company.
The company has received several orders before, without any accidents, all were solved perfectly, and it has a somewhat weak reputation in the circle.
This reputation does not mean how strong Tiandun Security Company is, but that it is lucky. And some people just believe in this kind of metaphysics.
As a result, the number of people looking for people gradually increased.
After knowing these things, Duke was a little dumbfounded.
But he wanted to say that these people really found the right place.
The reason why Tiandun Security Company did not have any accidents is due to some luck, but more importantly, it is the credit of No. 2!
No. 2 used the Sky Eye satellite to take a detailed and accurate map of Shuguang City, and then analyzed the road sections where accidents occurred recently, and concluded a route with a relatively low probability of encountering danger. For the sake of safety, it is enough to take more detours.
The city is not a wilderness. In the wilderness, there may be some places that you cannot get around, but no matter how big the city is, it has a certain range. As long as you go around one more time, you can always reach it safely.
So, this is not metaphysics, this is science.
Today, another person found a remote place and wanted to come to Tiandun Security Company to discuss business.
Duke originally thought it was a small business similar to before, so he didn't pay much attention and let the employees talk about it.
But not long after, the employees came over and told Duke that this business was a bit tricky and they didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so they asked the boss to make the decision.
"Protecting people? Or performing tasks with other security companies? It's interesting..."
Duke did not expect that this mission was not "transportation" but "protection".
This should be the first time the security company has received a protection mission.
However, I don’t know if it’s because the other party can’t trust me, or if there are other reasons. This time, there is not only one Tiandun Security Company, but several companies involved in this protection mission.
Moreover, the price given is extremely high.
Duke frowned immediately after seeing the price.
Such a high price for a newly established small company?
This is not in line with the market price of Auroville City!
Taken advantage of? Or is the scope of this protection mission not limited to the City of Dawn?
Duke was going to meet these people in person to see what they meant.
…
In the city hall, a certain boss frowned.
"It's been so long, but there's no movement in the funds on the bank card?"
The subordinate replied respectfully:
"Sir, the one million Dawn coins in that account haven't moved at all these days."
The boss thought to himself:
"Didn't the other party get that bank card? Impossible! Based on my understanding of the leader of the Hyena Gang, he will definitely hand over his family's assets when he is on the verge of life and death... No one will care about 1 million Dawn Coins! I don't care.
I'm very greedy... The other party doesn't know who I am, and he doesn't know that I can monitor the movements of the bank account with my authority, so why doesn't he transfer the money... What link is the problem? "
Seeing that the master remained silent, the subordinate was afraid of being punished, so he whispered:
"Sir, I heard that a beauty company has appeared in the city recently. You may be interested..."
Chapter completed!
