Chapter Ten: A Brilliant Scheme

"Don't stay silent..."

Seeing my silence, Lily grew even more anxious and blurted out, "Do you want us to be

kicked out of Japan and go to America to join Makoto?"

"Heh, you little fool!"

I laughed. "Why would you think that?"

"That's exactly what I wanted..."

Lily said indignantly, "I know you're not used to living in Japan. Fine, are you trying to

ruin our business so we'll all depend on you for a living?"

"Nonsense!"

I shook my head. "I was going to tell you how to control the attacks from Walmart and Carrefour, but now

it seems unnecessary. Let's talk about it when we get back to America!"

"Ah?"

Lily, overjoyed, hugged me back, the beautiful young woman sitting on my lap, wrapping her arms around my

neck, and said coquettishly, "Mmm...mmm...Junxiong...I know you're the best...Just tell me! Lily's

waiting here for your rescue..."

Normally, given her stunningly beautiful nature, she wouldn't say such sweet words, but firstly, she

already secretly harbored feelings for me, and secondly, she was desperate. Asking her man for help wasn't

shameful, was it?

I naturally understood her predicament and didn't tease her, asking directly, "My dear Lily, have you studied Walmart

's salary structure?"

"Salary structure?"

Lily nodded. "I know. Walmart employees, including senior executives, are paid

below average compared to other supermarkets of the same type. Many are even paid very little."

She paused, then looked at me questioningly. "You want to work on that? That

won't do! We've already investigated. Because Japan is a new market for them, their employee

salaries , even the hourly wages for high school students working part-time, are based on Ito-Yokado.

There are so many people who want to work there."

I smiled slightly, opened my phone, and pulled up several charts I had downloaded

from . "Here, take a look at the data."

Lily took the phone with a puzzled look. The next moment, she froze, her eyes widening.

After quickly looking at it several times, she suddenly looked up… "How did you get this data? Do you

have an inside man at Walmart?" she asked, her voice brimming with surprise.

I changed the subject, saying, "Whether I have an inside man or not isn't important. Seeing their operating costs and future

development plans, what kind of impact do you think it would have if this information were released?"

The beautiful young woman raised her head and snorted, "If we follow their plans, it will inevitably cause

dissatisfaction among our people! Trying to use the methods of exploiting cheap labor from poor countries to deal with our citizens is simply a

joke !"

What she said was indeed the truth. Although Japan has set minimum wages for each region, unlike

other small countries where these are just for show, in reality, many jobs are much lower. Apart from

some high school students working part-time in restaurants, who would dare to pay minimum wage? That would become a laughing stock.

After Japan became developed, it still treats its own people very well. With its large

income , it doesn't need to be harsh on its own workers and employees.

Walmart, however, is different. Firstly, it's not a Japanese company, and secondly, it

's known for exploiting its employees, demanding they "eat grass and produce milk." Therefore, high-salary policies

are merely a stopgap measure for them.

According to the information Baihe saw, Walmart plans to immediately reduce its full-time staff and hire more student part-time workers after opening

50 , while

cutting the salaries of existing employees by at least 35%. Walmart isn't foolish; why would it be in such a hurry to cut costs

when its foundation isn't even fully solidified in six months ? 　　The reason is simple. 　　Don't be fooled by Walmart's current success in Japan; their success is built on high investment and low profits . 　　Data shows that Walmart has invested five billion US dollars in Japan to date, covering all store opening costs… but after opening only 18 stores, its funds have already dried up. This to Japan's expensive land prices, high operating costs, and a gross profit margin of less than 10%. 　　It's important to understand that the average gross profit margin in the Japanese department store retail industry reaches 30%, with Ito-Yokado reaching 45% to 50%. Therefore, compared to this, Walmart's profit margin is quite low. 　　Walmart is an American publicly traded company that came to Japan to make money. If it continues to be unprofitable, no matter how powerful the Walton family is, the board of directors will have complaints. Therefore, Rogup ordered Bobby Ent to change the situation within six months. 　　Bobby Ent was exceptionally talented, but he had always looked down on people from the East. Therefore, without much thought, he resorted to Walmart's old methods used in other countries—lowering salaries and finding cheaper sources of goods. 　　In addition to the aforementioned salary reduction measures, Bobby Ent also believed that goods in China were now becoming expensive, and that countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam, with cheaper goods, would be Walmart's main sources of suppliers . If these two goals were achieved, Walmart could increase its gross profit margin to 23% 　　while maintaining low prices, which would be sufficient to satisfy the board of directors. 　　On August 28th, Walmart opened its first supermarket in Japan. It's been almost three months now, and with a six-month grace period, Bobby Ent believes that nine months is enough for Japanese customers to digest and accept business. He argues that the quality of his products hasn't changed much, prices remain low, and everything else seems unimportant. 　　Don't think Bobby Ent is just speculating; Walmart has defeated local supermarket chains in many European and South American countries in the same way . 　　Walmart has always adhered to one principle: as long as you capture the customers, everything else is secondary.

"The success or failure of this war doesn't lie in the employees' salaries, but in their operating model,"

I said calmly. "If you use salaries as a pretext, Walmart will definitely be determined to

postpone the salary reduction for a year. By then, who can compete with them?

How much be up to them. Japan isn't just made up of Japanese people!"

Lily's heart skipped a beat. She knew about people from other countries living in Japan. Because of the preferential treatment in

pensions , education, and healthcare, their salaries weren't high. If Walmart wanted to

employ them, they would do it even if the salary was lower—people from other countries and ethnicities

naturally have less cohesion.

"If we don't bring up salaries, are we going to have the Chinese government protest and say that Walmart won't buy their

products ?"

the beautiful young woman asked, looking quite distressed.

"Give me a kiss, and I'll tell you,"

I said, gazing at the stunning beauty so close to me.

"You..." Lily muttered, trying to look fierce, "If you dare to lie to me,

I won't let you get away with it!"

With that, the beautiful young woman blushed and pressed her pink lips to mine.

I unceremoniously pulled her close, drawing her close, before parting her teeth

and letting my tongue enter her incredibly smooth and fragrant place, entwining with her shy, delicate tongue in a passionate embrace

.

"Mmm...mmm..."

the stunning young woman moaned, the sweetness of the kiss making her involuntarily lose herself in the intimacy.

My hands kneading her shapely buttocks sent shivers of pleasure through her entire body.

Lily almost had to lightly pound my chest to regain her breath.

After catching her breath without a care for her image, the beautiful young woman glared at me coquettishly and said, "

Like , haven't you ever tasted a woman's flavor?"

I gently patted her back to help her catch her breath, "Other girls have tasted plenty, but my little

darling Lily has rarely tasted it, so it's not enough."

Sweet words work on any woman, but only if the man speaking to her is someone she likes

. Hearing this, Lily felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. If she hadn't been reminding

herself this was her sister's man, she would have already thrown herself into my arms, begging for affection.

But as I had just thought, after we had already hugged and kissed, her stubbornness was undoubtedly very

weak , and to a large extent, the beautiful young woman was just deceiving herself.

"You bastard..."

Lily bit her tongue lightly, the slight pain bringing her back to her senses. "Weren't you going to tell

me how to deal with this?"

"The solution is simple."

I laughed. "Look at their purchasing plan for six months from now. The average cost of goods will drop by eight

percent , and as they open more and more branches, a large number of low-priced goods will flood into Japan. In this

situation, who will suffer the most?"

"Our department store... Oh, why did you hit them?"

Lily covered her shapely buttocks, annoyed.

"Silly girl, can't you think about the bigger picture?" I pinched her delicate nose. "The ones who

will suffer the most are the farmers and light industrial companies all over Japan!"

"Ah..."

Lily's eyes lit up, and a thoughtful expression immediately appeared on her face.

This beautiful young woman was definitely not stupid. With a deep family background and excellent education, she knew

a lot; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to take on the responsibility of the family business.

My reminder immediately made her realize the key point.

When conducting business, people easily overlook the source. For example,

the origin of the goods sold by Walmart doesn't affect people's purchasing decisions, as long as the price is low and the quality is good.

Similarly, people usually only anticipate that Walmart will defeat department stores like Ito-Yokado, Tobu, and Seibu

, but few consider that if these department stores were to fail, the biggest losers wouldn't

be the merchants who make money from buying and selling goods, but rather the large and small companies that grow grains, raise poultry, and produce various

daily necessities.

If even department stores go bankrupt, who will buy the fruits of their hard work?

Small and medium-sized supermarkets? Regardless of whether they could even buy that much, Walmart wouldn't let them

go . Walmart is a notorious regional department store destroyer; within its territories, few

other department stores can survive.

Relying on Walmart to buy?

That's a joke!

Walmart even considers goods from China, a source of such low prices, too expensive and not worthwhile; why would it buy

goods that are ten or even dozens of times more expensive than Chinese goods? Not only would they not make money, but they would definitely

lose money !

Surely no business is run with the intention of harming oneself to benefit others, right?

Therefore, Walmart would never buy the goods of Japanese farmers and artisans.

Since no one is buying, the survival of farmers and artisans will become a huge problem. If things

go wrong, it won't just be a simple matter of the government collapsing.

If this happens, the entire Japanese society will be thrown into turmoil!

The beautiful young woman understood this point and said with surprise, "Junxiong...you mean to

tell and let the government step in to stop them?"

I shook my head. "No, Walmart's arrival was strongly promoted by the US government. Do you think the Japanese

government would dare to offend the US government and show a tough stance?"

"No." Yuri said without thinking, while clenching her fists. "If these bastards had had the guts

earlier , we wouldn't have fallen into the crisis of the bubble economy!"

The beautiful young woman's words had a hint of evasion. The bubble economy was

caused by the Japanese government being forced to sign the Plaza Accord, but the origin of the bubble economy was still in

the problems with the Japanese economic development itself. No one else was to blame.

Of course, I didn't say this to Lily, otherwise the beautiful young woman would start acting coquettishly and refusing to cooperate, and we wouldn't be able to talk about serious matters.

"If that doesn't work, then don't bother with them."

I said calmly, "Go find the leaders of the opposition parties, talk to the farmers and artisans,

and they'll understand what the pressure of survival is." " Should

we talk to them now?"

"Yes."

I nodded and smiled. "Actually, they're already feeling the pressure. If we

tell , anyone who's not stupid will know what to do."

"Hmm, I've got it."

Lily happily hugged my neck again. "Anything else?"

"There are a few more methods, but they're a bit unorthodox, not entirely aboveboard."

"Tell me, tell me! Tell me, and I'll see if I can use them. If it can help tens of millions of farmers and

artisans , what does it matter if we use a little trickery?"

The beautiful young woman said righteously.

"Alright."

I leaned close to the beautiful young woman's ear and spoke softly...
