Chapter 3507 Give up resistance!

Bernard Arnault's series of actions made the whole world look at him with admiration and praise him, except for those employees who were left out.

I thought I could lie down for three years, but it turned out to be a false alarm, and the joy was too short, not even a minute.

For the next three years, they will either continue to serve as mascots in their positions or simply quit and find other jobs.

Although being a mascot at work means the work is not as busy as before, I still have no freedom in terms of time. I still have to go to work and leave work at a fixed time every day.

Moreover, for those employees in sales positions, without sales, there will naturally be no sales commission. In this case, won’t they only be able to get the basic salary?

In this case, most sales people probably can't handle it anymore and can only choose to resign.

In this way, it can help Bernard Erno's group reduce costs and increase efficiency. Since they were not planning to engage in sales in the first place, it would be even more perfect if the sales staff resigned voluntarily. There would be no need to keep these idle people. Each store only needs to keep a few security guards and one or two receptionists. The receptionists do not need to have customer connections, sales experience, or sales skills. They just need to treat customers politely and respectfully, which is enough.

As for those sales elites, they will naturally leave on their own initiative if they lose their commissions, and you don’t have to pay them a penny in compensation.

It has to be said that Bernard Erno's plan was extremely shrewd, and basically every link was taken into account by him.

However, except for his sales staff, others cannot see through this point. They only think that Bernard Arnault is definitely the best boss in the world. This man is absolutely fucking amazing. He is the model of contemporary capitalists and completely subverts the underlying logic that capitalists are vampires.

For a time, Bernard Elno's radiant humanity shone throughout the world.

The commander-in-chief and his staff were now like defeated roosters.

Nothing to do.

There is really no way.

Moreover, Bernard Elno's positive influence is now surprisingly great. Not only can America not deal with him, but it must also give him a satisfactory answer in the next step.

Otherwise, with the attention he has attracted around the world today, the US government's reputation will be greatly damaged if it does not face up to the problem.

At this time, the commander-in-chief also realized that the situation was hopeless. It would not be so easy to protect and maintain Blackwater, the watchdog. The only solution was to cut off his arm to survive and push the dog out to be slaughtered, which was better than implicating himself.

Then, the commander-in-chief said dejectedly, "Alright, give up resistance! There's no need to think about countermeasures now. Let the FBI immediately launch an investigation and thoroughly investigate the mastermind and core motive behind the White Horse Island incident."

The round-faced aide spoke up, "This is actually a secret negotiation between Blackwater and the Syrian opposition. The opposition wants to use Blackwater to get rid of Hamid and seize his impregnable base. Blackwater wants to use this attack to pin the blame on the Wanlong Hall, seize the opportunity to label the Wanlong Hall a terrorist organization, and seize the opportunity to seize the Wanlong Hall's base in Syria. Each side gets what they want, and honestly, there's really no need for us to cover for them."

"That's right." The commander-in-chief nodded, his serious and annoyed expression slightly relaxed. Then he sighed and said, "Let the FBI handle this impartially. We can't control the Syrian side, but whoever from Blackwater was involved in the planning of this incident will be arrested and severely punished!"

At this point, the commander-in-chief said gloomily, "But if this happens, most of Blackwater's senior executives will probably not be spared. Blackwater's reputation will be ruined, and it will basically have to disband. Our future global layout will be missing a good dog. Without a military dog, our army will probably have a lot of trouble."

The round-faced staff member quickly advised: "Commander-in-Chief, I have an idea that can minimize the losses."

The commander-in-chief immediately said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

The round-faced aide offered a suggestion: "Why don't we take this opportunity to find a suitable person from the military to support? This person must have a certain level of prestige, military achievements, and a certain business acumen. Let him leave the military and start his own business, creating a replica of Blackwater!"

"Then we'll secretly help. Taking advantage of this FBI investigation into Blackwater, we'll be able to obtain the identities of all Blackwater's mercenaries. We'll give this person the list of mercenaries and then find a few obedient and sensible tycoons on Wall Street to invest in his company!"

"This way, he'll have connections, prestige, money, and information about Blackwater's mercenaries. He'll be able to naturally recruit those scattered Blackwater mercenaries and quickly build up a fighting force!"

"Besides, this is our own Black Glove operation, so it's definitely more controllable. It won't be like Blackwater, where their cleverness backfired. What do you think?"

"Holy shit!" the commander-in-chief blurted out in surprise. "Ah Fan, this is absolutely the best plan you've come up with since you took office! Very good, I'm very satisfied! Let's do it just as you planned! Execute Blackwater publicly to appease the people and help us get rid of our current reputational problems. Then we can completely dismantle it and give it a new look!"

The round-faced aide smiled shyly at the compliment, then added, "By the way, Commander-in-Chief, I think we should give Syria a warning to stop any more trouble. We're launching a public investigation into this matter, and everyone will be watching their every move for a long time to come."

"Yes." The commander-in-chief nodded and said, "Running that shabby place is nothing more than taking risks to secretly extract some oil. It's not a profitable business in itself. Warn them to be honest and not cause us any more trouble!"

……

After Ye Chen and his family landed in Jinling late at night, they happened to see Bernard Elno’s live broadcast.

Even he couldn't help but marvel at it. This old man was indeed a businessman. This was equivalent to finding a way to maximize the bugs within the rules he specified.

First, Bernard Arnault's revenue in the American market will plummet to zero, but all costs will remain the same.

While losing profits, you also lose operating costs, accumulating experience points in both directions.

What’s even more interesting is that this guy has turned thousands of stores across the United States into his own showrooms. Coupled with his skyrocketing popularity, the demand for his products among the American people will only become stronger.

If such strong demand cannot be converted locally, it will naturally be converted to other regions.

The United States is so close to Canada that it is conceivable that Canada's luxury consumption is likely to see a surge in the future. The vast majority of American consumers' demand will be taken over by the Canadian market. In this way, his losses can be compensated in disguise.

While accumulating his own experience points, he can also earn money back from other markets. I have to say, this guy has a way.

However, if you really want to deal with him, it is not difficult. Just conduct a strict and detailed financial audit, re-examine the income of his group, and reasonably exclude the part of the profit brought to his group by the spillover from the US market. In this way, his actual loss may be negligible, or even close to zero.

But Ye Chen didn't intend to do that.

Although he is not as shrewd as Bernard Arnault in business, his vision is much bigger than that of the old man.

You are the one who makes the rules of the game. Since your players have discovered a small loophole in the rules, you must acknowledge it and cannot regret it. At least, you cannot regret it immediately.

Changing orders every day is definitely the biggest taboo for managers.

What's more, he doesn't care about the Bernard Elnocar bug, because even if he takes into account all the losses in the American market, it will only end up being four or five billion US dollars a year.

It would take at least ten years to accumulate enough experience points from four or five billion US dollars to reach fifty billion US dollars.

And the cost he needs to pay is nothing more than a rejuvenation pill.

So, why not give Bernard Elno a chance to find a loophole, so that he can play the game more attentively and feel extra grateful to himself.

Besides, why should I set the rules of the game for him?

Isn't it just to make him rack his brains and cause a big fuss in America? Now it seems that this guy is very motivated. This matter has reached this point, which is enough to make America suffer. And judging by the current situation, Blackwater is likely to be finished.

After all, if America doesn't kill them to appease the public anger, it will never be able to get through this hurdle.

So, he immediately took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Wan Pojun, asking him to immediately monitor Blackwater's every move in Syria. Blackwater is likely to be finished, and it must completely withdraw from Syria before it is finished. However, given the American style of doing things, they will definitely find someone to replace Blackwater. Once Blackwater withdraws from Syria, they must pay attention to whether there are new American mercenaries returning to Syria.

Ye Chen also reminded him that although Wanlong Palace had no direct responsibility for the White Horse Island incident, it also reflected the lack of Wanlong Palace in intelligence work. Since it has invested in and built a permanent base in Syria, it must fully control Syria's every move. Intelligence work will never end, and it must be pervasive to fundamentally prevent such incidents from happening again.

Wan Pojun was also paying attention to Bernard Elno's live broadcast at this time. He also realized that with the actions this guy had taken in the United States, Blackwater had basically been declared dead. He was originally a little excited, because once Blackwater fell, Wanlong Hall would become the world's largest mercenary organization.

But after hearing Ye Chen's reminder, he realized that even if the black water was gone, there would still be white water, red water, blue water and green water. He should not be too optimistic, let alone too confident. Moreover, he was indeed responsible for his inadequate intelligence work since he had been plotted against by this group of people before.

He immediately replied, "Rest assured, Mr. Ye. I will be absolutely vigilant and gather comprehensive information on every move in Syria and the entire Middle East to establish a solid intelligence company! If something like this happens again, I will be subject to military court for dereliction of duty!"

Although the Wanlong Palace is a mercenary organization, it has always been under highly militarized management. Its core structure is an army with extremely strong organizational discipline. It not only has its own norms and regulations, but also has its own set of military laws and even its own military court.

Wan Pojun's attitude had cut off his own escape route. Although his responsibility was not big, Ye Chen was quite satisfied that he could take on this responsibility. However, he did not give Wan Pojun a way out. He only warned him: "Be cautious in everything you do. Remember that pride will lead to failure!"

In a word, it was a warning to him and also a tacit acknowledgement of the military order he had issued.
