In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed.
And in that time, the KING Group was ready to launch their brand new line of snacks. Not only did the snacks taste wonderful, but their packaging was particularly original and had a very modern look to them. Everyone wanted to buy them the moment they saw the advertisements. However, in order for the group to meet such a huge demand for their new products, their factory was put to work day and night to produce enough.
From the production to the packaging of the snacks, everything was going according to Darren's plan. Now that everything else was ready, there was only one step left for him.
When the store owners found out that the KING Group was ready to release their products, they didn't hesitate to pre-order as much as they could. The possibility of losing money didn't even cross their minds.
It was already known to everyone that the KING Group would launch a new line of snacks. All the store owners truly believed that it was going to be a hit and would bring immense revenue to them. To the store owners, the KING Group was like a tree which money grew on. They had the utmost faith that if they cooperated with the group, a bountiful profit would come their way.
On the day when the new snacks were set to be released for the very first time, everyone who sought after them couldn't stop talking about it. Massive numbers of people excitedly lined up in front of stores selling the coveted snacks. It was such a lively scene that it made all the employees of the KING Group feel content with all the hard work they had had to put in.
As soon as the stores opened their doors, the customers who had been anxiously waiting for so long rushed inside like a swarm of bees. Within minutes, the shelves that held the snacks were completely emptied.
It was an unprecedented event!
That same day, the products were sold out in every store that had stocked them.
Inside one of the stores in the city, it looked like all of the employees that were working there were distraught. Witnessing a massive horde of people emptying their fully-stacked shelves in mere seconds was truly a shocking sight to see. If someone who was oblivious to this new craze were to see the current state of the store, they would think that the place had just been robbed.
"Manager, come here. . . . . All of the new batch of products we just received this morning are completely gone," . . a shop assistant who was still in shock said while he stared in disbelief at the empty shelves. The manager approached the assistant and replied, "Wow, that's unbelievable! It honestly looks like they just stormed in and grabbed everything! Are you sure we didn't get robbed?" Even though everything was still surreal to them, it was definitely a good business day for them. Suddenly, the manager's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and saw that it was Darren's assistant, Harlan.
"Hello, Mr. Harlan?"
Harlan responded with a deep and stern voice. "Raise the price of all our snacks by 10%!" When Darren found out how the sales went this morning, he was pleasantly surprised. He immediately asked Harlan to call the managers of every shop and order them to raise the price for the second batch.
"Yes, Mr. Harlan. We'll
process knew it better than anybody else.
Among them were the newly recruited young employees who had contributed to their success. Their efforts had been a great help for the successful launch of the new products.
"Our bestselling snacks wouldn't be here without all of you and your hard work. I believe that because of you, our company will be better and greater in the days to come," Darren said once the applause died down.
After a short pause, he cleared his throat and continued, "On such a momentous day, I would also like to announce that I have good news for everyone here. From this afternoon onward, except for the important personnel of the technology department and the planning department, the rest of the employees of the KING Group will have two days off. Of course, for those of you who have to work during these two days, I won't treat you unfairly. You will be paid three times your normal salary for these two days. In addition, all of you will receive a bonus of 3, 000 dollars and a subsidy of 1, 000 dollars."
His words were a massive shock to all of the employees.
No one could believe what Darren had just said. They had never expected that their boss would let them miss work, let alone give them two days off, especially during such a crucial time for the company. In the past, they had had to come to work even if they were sick. So, the announcement was all the more surprising for them. The most important thing was that their overtime work would be compensated with three times their salary, not to mention the additional bonus and subsidy of 4, 000 dollars!
Overwhelmed by the announcement, everyone looked at each other's faces in disbelief. They all had the same thought in their heads. 'Has our boss gone crazy?'
'Did he go insane?'
'He must be out of his mind!'
When he saw the surprised look on everyone's faces, Darren smiled and explained, "You have worked hard in the past few months. Today, the KING Group's snacks were a great success. And because of that, I would like all of you to have a good rest for a couple of days as a sign of gratitude, and also so that you have the energy to welcome a brand new KING Group!"
