311: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Why did they stay at Maha Game Company and not leave?

It wasn't to see Qian Ziyong distribute money to his employees; it was to see how Qian Ziyong managed the company.

They wanted to see Qian Ziyong's capabilities.

The result was, they didn't know until they saw it, and when they saw it, they were shocked.

Qian Ziyong's capabilities startled them.

The video was still playing, and when Fang Chang knelt down, Zhao Kaixuan immediately paused the video.

Zhao Kaixuan exclaimed, "Amazing!"

"If Qian Ziyong had scolded Fang Chang, with Fang Chang's shamelessness, he definitely wouldn't have knelt down."

"On the contrary, Fang Chang would have felt that the company couldn't do without him, rather than him not being able to do without the company."

"But Qian Ziyong's words made Fang Chang misunderstand, mistakenly believing that Ziyong truly wanted him to stay at the company."

"That's why Fang Chang knelt down, thinking that by admitting his mistake like this, Ziyong would forgive him."

"In reality, he was completely wrong."

"His kneeling, on the contrary, gave Ziyong an opportunity to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys."

Chen Jingfu and Sun Youan all felt that Zhao Kaixuan's analysis made sense.

If Qian Ziyong had initially joined the employees in scolding Fang Chang, it would have been a complete breakdown.

Fang Chang would have directly demanded his dividends and compensation, which would have embarrassed Qian Ziyong.

However, Qian Ziyong used softness to overcome hardness, making Fang Chang feel that he still had a chance to work at the company.

Coupled with the temptation of dividends, Fang Chang realized that he would earn more by not changing jobs, so he unhesitatingly admitted his mistake.

By admitting his mistake, he fell into Qian Ziyong's trap.

He was used by Qian Ziyong to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.

Zhao Kaixuan said, "If Fang Chang hadn't admitted his mistake, Qian Ziyong wouldn't have been able to kill this chicken as easily, at least not as satisfyingly, and not as forcefully!"

"But when Fang Chang knelt down and admitted his mistake, Qian Ziyong's instant change of expression was a textbook example!"

"Look at the expressions of the surrounding employees when Qian Ziyong drove Fang Chang away—they were delighted, but also had lingering fears!"

"At the same time, Fang Chang must be regretting it immensely now, having been treated as a chicken to be killed from beginning to end, and he believes it was all his own fault."

"Of course, it was indeed his fault, but it's very difficult to make such a person admit their mistake."

"And Qian Ziyong achieved it; his grasp of human psychology was truly exquisite."

Chen Jingfu sighed, "You can't learn this even if you want to; it requires an ultimate grasp of human psychology."

"At the same time, you have to express all emotions, which is too difficult."

"Others say, 'A mountain may crumble before you, but your face does not change.'"

"Qian Ziyong not only achieved it, he did it even better; whatever expression he wanted on his face, that's what it was."

"I heard that when he declared war on the Yongnian Supermarket boss before, Qian Ziyong was smiling as he said the most domineering words."

"We can never learn that in our lifetime!"

He used to think that since Ziyong was young, as the elder brother, he should teach him more.

Now he understood that Qian Ziyong was a true master who hid his abilities and had been pretending to be foolish all along.

The video continued to play, and the few of them stared at Qian Ziyong's expression.

It continued until Qian Ziyong returned to the pile of money again, and his face instantly changed.

"Look, it changed! His expression changed again!" Zhao Kaixuan pointed at Qian Ziyong in the video, excitedly.

Zhao Kaixuan was very excited, but the others were silent.

Chen Jingfu sighed again, "Amazing."

"It's like this again, using the gentlest expression to say the cruelest words."

"Qian Ziyong, in this situation, told the employees to resign."

"Who would dare?"

The video played until the end, and only then did Sun Youan say, "Everyone understands the art of managing subordinates; everyone knows that the method of management is to combine kindness and authority."

"This balance must be well maintained; if it's solely kindness, then employees will not take the boss seriously."

"If it's solely authority, employees will feel the boss is difficult to get along with."

"Kindness and authority, it's very difficult to grasp this balance."

"What's even harder is to be as flexible as Qian Ziyong."

"He showed authority to the employees, and everyone was intimidated, but no one could say anything bad about Qian Ziyong."

Chen Jingfu sighed, "Yes!"

"Qian Ziyong showed kindness once, directly distributing money, and then he exercised authority, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys."

"And then he showed kindness and authority again, giving employees a holiday while also allowing them to come to the company to play!"

"Oh, and what's most incredible is that making employees work is considered a kindness?"

"Employees will be genuinely grateful to the boss for letting them work."

"It's truly a great absurdity, but Qian Ziyong actually achieved it!"

The more they thought about it, the more incredible it seemed.

At their companies, employees wished they had holidays every day.

But at Qian Ziyong's company, when Qian Ziyong gave holidays, employees would beg to work.

How could Qian Ziyong's company not make money, being able to reach such a level?

…

On the other side, Qian Ziyong didn't know that his elder brothers had misunderstood him; he was very anxious right now.

Too much money!

There was simply too much money!

He had to spend all the money!

Arriving at Feihuang Restaurant Headquarters, Qian Ziyong found Ye Xiaoqin, who was busy.

"Ye Xiaoqin, how's the money spending going?" Qian Ziyong went straight to the point as soon as he met her.

He had previously invested 350 million in Feihuang Restaurant, and he didn't know how much was left now.

Preferably nothing left!

Qian Ziyong looked at Ye Xiaoqin with anticipation.

Ye Xiaoqin whispered, "Boss, we've added many new stores, spending a total of 50 million, and we still have about 280 million in our account!"

"So much?" Qian Ziyong frowned.

No, he had to spend it!

Qian Ziyong thought for a moment; it seemed he couldn't rely on Ye Xiaoqin.

He could only rely on himself.

Indeed, relying on mountains, mountains fall; relying on water, water flows; one still has to rely on oneself.

"Xiaoqin, you can't run a company like this; being stingy won't achieve great things!"

"You have to learn to spend money!"

"How can you make money if you don't know how to spend it?"

"Money spent is money that comes back; those who are unwilling to spend money won't achieve great things!" Qian Ziyong said earnestly.

Ye Xiaoqin scratched her head, "Is that really how it is?"

"Aren't these just toxic 'chicken soup for the soul' from short videos?"

"Besides these 'chicken soups,' there's also 'women should treat themselves better.'"

"And 'you're young now, if you don't spend money, are you going to wait until you're old?'"

"Haven't these 'chicken soups' already been proven toxic?"

Ye Xiaoqin looked at Qian Ziyong with suspicion.

Hearing Ye Xiaoqin's words, Qian Ziyong was stunned.

Which genius said that?

What 'women should treat themselves better.'

Such words could be said.

These are profound truths!

Such a genius should come to his company!

But before that, he had to correct Ye Xiaoqin's thinking, well... bend it.

This frugal mindset was unacceptable!

Qian Ziyong said righteously, "Some of those short videos are toxic 'chicken soup,' but some actually have some truth to them."

"For example, the saying 'women should treat themselves better' is clearly a thought instilled by businesses to impressionable girls to sell goods."

"This sentence is certainly not entirely correct, but it cannot be said to be completely wrong either!"

"I think that people should treat themselves better, and it shouldn't be limited to just women."
