M'munsimu muli zigawo zikuluzikulu za dongosolo lathu la mliri.Takhazikitsa njira zoyendetsera chitetezo m'makampani athu onse, kuphatikiza kusalumikizana ndi anthu, kuyeretsa mozama, zophimba kumaso, kuyesa kutentha ndi machitidwe ena kuti tithandizire anzathu kukhala otetezeka komanso athanzi.Timu yathu yachita bwino kwambiri panthawiyi.Ndipo mkati mwa kotala ino, tidzapereka mphotho zozindikirika kamodzi kwa omwe timagwira nawo ntchito.

Tidzapitiliza kufananiza zomwe timapeza ndi zomwe makasitomala amafuna, kuphatikiza kuchepetsa kusintha kwamitengo komwe kuli kofunikira komanso kuchepetsa nthawi pamakina athu amapepala omwe amagulitsa misika yotsika mtengo.Nthawi yomweyo, tidzagwiritsa ntchito mwayi womwe angadziwonetsere, kuphatikiza kugwiritsa ntchito kukula ndi kuthekera kwadongosolo lathu lomwe lilipo kuti tithandizire misika yomwe ikukula, kuphatikiza malonda a e-commerce ndikuyankha pakufunika kowonjezereka.

Tikuchepetsa ndalama zogwirira ntchito zomwe zatsala pang'ono kuchitika motsogozedwa ndi malipiro komanso kutsika mtengo mpaka 25% kwa akuluakulu athu akuluakulu ndi Komiti Yathu Yoyang'anira komanso kuchepetsa ndalama zomwe timagwiritsa ntchito posankha.Tikukonzekera kugwiritsa ntchito masheya a kampani yathu kulipira zolimbikitsa zathu zapachaka ndikupanga zopereka zomwe kampani yathu imapeza 401(k) mu 2020. Izi zidzapereka ndalama zina zochepetsera ngongole pomwe tikugwirizanitsa zolimbikitsa za oyang'anira ndi anzathu m'magulu onse. kampaniyo ndi osunga ndalama athu.

Tikuchepetsa mabizinesi athu ndi $150 miliyoni chaka chino ndipo tiyika $600 miliyoni mpaka $800 miliyoni mchaka cha 2021.
