Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 607: Sleeping Less Than Five Hours a Day

The Sicily Chain Western Restaurant has announced the opening of its stores in multiple first and second-tier cities, including Lin'an, Jinling, and Shanghai.

From the current data, the future income expectations for these stores look promising.

After the initial investment, approximately six months later, all the stores will begin to recoup their investment and enter a profitable state.

This is considered very decent in the current chain restaurant industry.

Once these results are out, many people have begun to inquire about how they could join Chen Yiyang's chain restaurant.

Opening up franchises is certainly necessary.

After all, profits in the restaurant industry are unstable, and the initial investment is substantial, but the revenue generated through franchise openings is extremely stable, which can significantly alleviate the financial pressure in the early stages.

However, after opening up franchises, managing each franchisee becomes a major issue.

If not handled well, it's easy for errors from a single franchise to cause all stores to suffer losses.

Thus, Chen Yiyang specifically called the management over for instructions.

"Our company, among other things, must be strict in complying with labor laws.

All franchisees must sign a contract before joining. If it is found they do not comply with labor laws regarding employee treatment, the head office has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract, revoke the franchise authorization, and suspend raw material supply."

"Understood, Mr. Chen." His subordinates nodded one after another.

All companies under Chen Yiyang's control are very strict in this aspect, and his subordinates are well aware of this.

"But Mr. Chen." One subordinate suddenly spoke up at this time.

"The turnover rate in the restaurant industry is high, and the phenomenon of not complying with labor laws and not buying social insurance for employees is quite common.

Even if we repeatedly emphasize this, it cannot be avoided that some franchisees think these are just for show.

Although they agree on the surface, they say one thing and do another, not implementing relevant regulations, which eventually leads to public opinion troubles. What should we do then?"

The issue raised by this subordinate has a significant likelihood of occurring.

After all, Chen Yiyang doesn't have law enforcement branches, and can only bind franchisees through contracts.

But if some franchisees deliberately do not comply with labor laws, causing employees to protest, leading to public opinion on the internet.

At that time, netizens won't just view it as the franchisees' individual behavior, but will perceive it as a systemic issue of the entire brand.

"How about this."

Chen Yiyang quickly thought of an idea.

"Let's first create some internet events and plant a concept in the minds of most online netizens.

That is, the Yiyang System companies strictly adhere to labor laws and offer very good treatment.

Then, even if individual franchisees privately don't comply and trigger public opinion, it won't affect the reputation of the head office.

Everyone will just think it's the franchisee's own problem.

Even if some competitors deliberately stir up related topics and smear us.

Our good image will prompt many netizens to spontaneously speak up for us, counteracting these trolls."

"So arrange for trending topics recently and let some of our employees come forward and praise the employee treatment of our Yiyang System companies online?"

One subordinate proposed.

"Too contrived." Chen Yiyang felt if they promoted in this way, some netizens might easily misinterpret it as Chen Yiyang buying fame.

Who suddenly praises themselves like that.

"Need a pretext," said Chen Yiyang.

The subordinates began discussing among themselves.

Chen Yiyang opened his phone here to see if there was a suitable event online he could leverage.

It must be said that not complying with labor laws is a widespread phenomenon domestically, whether it's big corporations or small businesses, they all have this bad habit.

Hence, Chen Yiyang quickly found his target.

Then he looked up and said to everyone, "I remember our company uses Dingding software for office work, right."

"Yes," the employees below held up their phone screens.

Dingding is an office software used by many companies domestically and can help many businesses improve work efficiency and management levels.

So Chen Yiyang's company also uses this office software.

"Issue an announcement: All Yiyang System companies will cease using Dingding and switch to other office software."

"Huh?" The subordinates raised their heads in confusion upon hearing Chen Yiyang's words.

They didn't understand why Chen Yiyang suddenly said this.

Chen Yiyang then directly took out his phone and read a piece of news.

The news was about Dingding's CEO saying something during a media interview at Ah Li's Lin'an headquarters.

The original words were that after the new CEO joined Dingding, they released version 8.0.

In this version, Dingding updated many new features and tools, helping Dingding better assist companies in office work.

Of course, this wasn't the main point.

The main thing is, from project initiation to product completion, Dingding's 8.0 took less than four months. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

To achieve so many updates within four months, about 40 to 50 people in the Dingding company team had a daily sleep of less than five hours.

"Isn't this a serious violation of the labor laws? Not even talking about labor laws, sleeping less than five hours a day, not even slaves in the slave era worked like this."

As soon as Chen Yiyang said this, the subordinates realized why Chen Yiyang suddenly wanted to stop using Dingding.

How to make netizens believe the Yiyang System companies absolutely will not do anything that violates labor laws.

That is, instead of claiming compliance with laws arrogantly, directly draw a clear boundary with companies violating labor laws.

This way, everyone will believe you will comply with labor laws.

Dingding allowed employees to sleep less than five hours a day.

This isn't a rumor fabricated by Chen Yiyang but was said by Dingding's CEO himself, absolutely credible.

Hence, Chen Yiyang doesn't need to worry about getting sued for defamation after publicly stopping using Dingding.

If suing is involved, the CEO should be the first to be sued, after all, the words were spoken by the CEO during media interviews.

In many large companies, when projects are quite busy, the management's daily sleep time is relatively little, which is very normal.

Because management holding shares in some sense is not an employee, but one of the bosses.

But tech personnel are definitely employees.

These employees don't have shares to receive.

Even if the company develops well later, special dividends and shares won't be allocated to these employees.

Therefore, the working hours of these employees should be strictly protected, or else they can easily be exploited from above.

"Issue an external announcement," Chen Yiyang instructed the subordinates, "Just state clearly, Dingding has seriously violated labor laws, thus Yiyang System companies will no longer use Dingding software for office."

After Chen Yiyang finished speaking, he added, "Meanwhile, arrange for some trolls to post underneath the announcement.

A tool touting itself for improving software work efficiency but backed by the blood and tears of laborers.

It's not that the company is at a life-or-death juncture, a delay of one or two weeks for a new version won't lead to bankruptcy.

Such exploitation of employees is unreasonable both emotionally and logically.

Yiyang System companies are ashamed to associate with such a firm."
