Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Regretful Person
Once the idea of returning home arose, Lin Yun felt a strong urge to go back.
However, before he could go home, he had many things to sort out.
He needed to ensure that everything here was arranged properly.
These days, Qingyun power bank sales had been skyrocketing.
This was largely thanks to the Tianyu Group.
If it weren't for that video that ignited the popularity of Qingyun power banks, and then when Tianyu Group encountered its setback, even more people had become aware of Qingyun power banks.
In just a few days, the seven distributors had sold almost all of the Qingyun power banks they purchased, along with an additional half a million power banks restocked.
The wholesalers who had initially dismissed the product were regretting it bitterly.
They had hoped that Tianyu Group would monopolize the market, but instead, Tianyu Group was struggling to hold its own, and Qingyun power banks were selling like hotcakes. Every wholesaler that sold Qingyun power banks had made a fortune, and the seven major distributors were making even more.
Some wholesalers pleaded with the distributors for the goods, but the distributors paid them no mind.
They didn't have to worry about selling the Qingyun power banks. They wouldn't take the risk of offending Lin Yun by selling to these wholesalers, fearing that if Lin Yun ever found out, they would lose their authorization to sell Qingyun power banks and they would be at a significant loss.
Furthermore, they didn't hold these wholesalers in high regard.
Last time, these wholesalers put them in jeopardy, which could have affected their profits. They felt even less inclined to sell Qingyun power banks to these people.
Many overseas agents had also reached out to Lin Yun.
From these, Lin Yun had selected three island-based agents, two of which paid a five-million-dollar agency fee and one a ten-million-dollar agency fee. He guaranteed that in the future, products under the Qingyun brand would prioritize collaboration with them. He also sold them two hundred thousand Qingyun power banks.
The previous four hundred thousand Qingyun power banks had already required Lin Yun's employees to work round-the-clock overtime for a long time, with some units still undelivered.
Fortunately, Lin Yun offered generous overtime pay. Coupled with their base salary, these workers were earning very well, with many making five to six hundred a day.
At this rate, they could easily make over ten thousand a month, a staggering salary.
Many migrant workers were more than willing to work hard. They preferred working overtime each day at the factory, even considering factories that didn't offer overtime to be less desirable.
With good food, lodging, and high pay, Lin Yun's workers were the envy of many other factory workers.
With an additional order of seven hundred thousand power banks, it was becoming increasingly difficult for Lin Yun's workers to handle.
Lin Yun also did not want his workers to be so tired.
Therefore, he had Ding Wei and Little Mei recruit an extra forty people.
The news that Lin Yun's factory was hiring once again created a buzz amongst the workers from surrounding factories.
Some workers bit the bullet, leaving their current factory to apply to Lin Yun's.
Of course, this was relatively rare.
Because many factory owners withhold wages,, if you leave without notice, or during a period where they refuse to let you go, your wages would be forfeited, and many people were unwilling to give up those wages.
It was the busiest time of the year, and naturally, these bosses would not let their employees leave.
Some workers who left without caring about their wages caused some resentment towards Lin Yun's factory amongst some bosses.
However, they had a love-hate relationship with Lin Yun's factory. Because of how busy Lin Yun's factory was, many wholesalers came to their village, which in turn brought more business to their factories.

As soon as Lin Yun was aware of this situation, he had Ding Wei and Little Mei stop hiring those workers who had left their previous factories in an abnormal manner.
Not because he feared these bosses holding a grudge against him.
But because if these workers abandoned their previous factories for higher wages, who would assure their loyalty if someone else tempted them with even higher profits in the future?
Of course, Lin Yun did not generalize all these workers.
If their previous bosses really were overly harsh on their employees, his factory would consider hiring them.
Ding Wei and Little Mei both nodded in understanding and approval of Lin Yun's decision.
When trouble first started, many of their factory's workers had left, and they harbored a deep resentment towards these people.
Speaking of those who left, almost all of them had begun to regret their decision these past few days.
Particularly when they found out about Ding Wei and Little Mei's current salary and position, they were practically choking on their regrets.
Ding Wei and Little Mei were initially just ordinary members among them.
Now, Ding Wei and Little Mei were managing dozens of people under them, and their salaries were incredibly high.
If they had not left in the first place, they would be no different from Ding Wei and Little Mei.
Indeed, one small misstep caused the eternal regret.
Especially, their current boss, Wang Wenchang, treated them poorly in many aspects. Not only was the food poor and the accommodation bad, but he also regularly deducted their salaries for various reasons.
Some of them had even secretly contacted Ding Wei and Little Mei, indicating they wanted to return.
Yet, they were resolutely rejected by Ding Wei and Little Mei.
Some even berated Ding Wei and Little Mei for their lack of empathy for their hometown fellows, calling them cruel and heartless, which upset Ding Wei and Little Mei deeply.
However, this further affirmed their decision not to take these people back.
Despite the difficulty of hiring close to the end of the year, the high wages at Lin Yun's factory quickly attracted forty new workers.
The last rented factory was large enough to easily accommodate these forty people.
The dormitories were upstairs, which made arrangements easier.
There was a canteen nearby, ensuring meals were taken care of without issue.
Ding Wei and Little Mei efficiently handled everything.
In the following days, Lin Yun made time to rent a few more warehouses.
The original warehouse, which was now guarded by security and widely known to many, was no longer suitable for storing the large stock of power banks. A new warehouse was needed for cover to avoid arousing suspicion.
Lin Yun thought it over and decided to rent several.
That way, he could alternate between the warehouses to maintain secrecy.
As expected, when he asked Ding Wei and the two bodyguards to retrieve goods from a new warehouse, they were not surprised at all.
They assumed that this was Lin Yun's way of hiding his sources. This made it harder for those who wished to discover where Lin Yun's commodities came from.
The power banks were so superb that Lin Yun's actions were not strange at all.
On Monday, the stock price of Tianyu Group unsurprisingly hit the lower limit again.
It hit the lower limit again on Tuesday.
Surprisingly, with Tianyu Group facing such a massive issue, it should have ceased trading under normal circumstances.
Ceasing trading meant suspending transactions on the stock, naturally preventing it from falling any further and minimizing the huge losses retail investors would have incurred.
Yet, the trading of Tianyu Group's shares continued unabated.
It hit the lower limit again on Wednesday.
Online, cries and wails filled the Tianyu Group's stock comments section.
Every day, a large amount of stocks were accumulating at the lower limit price, with no one willing to assume the position.
Retail investors could not even exit their positions if they wanted to.
Dealing in large volumes, some considerable sell orders were hanging around, even with prices much lower than the lower limit. Still, no one was interested in buying.
Lin Yun checked the situation using his super-brain.
He discovered that some officials of the Regulatory Commission believed that someone was targeting Tianyu Group, and this person was immensely adept with information dissemination and control.
The incident involving Tianyu Group was conducted with great severity, implicating many officials.
Each official had their own wrongdoings, and before they could identify who this person was, they didn't want to instigate him.
After all, there were thousands of stocks in the Huaxia stock market. Overlooking one wouldn't matter to them.
If they intervened and the person found out, resentment of them might grow and the dissemination of their wrongdoings would cause more harm than good.
Upon analyzing and arriving at this conclusion, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel speechless.
