Chapter 131: Adapting to local conditions and the times

"Sister Wanyi, I think he was so scary just now. Just standing there, without saying anything, he scared people so much that they couldn't stand steadily."

There was an inexplicable gleam in Chen Xiaomin's eyes, and she kept chattering without getting tired.

Shen Wanyi, on the other hand, was more steady, and nothing could be seen on her face.

But I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in my heart, it turned out that he was just holding back his temper in front of me.

In front of outsiders, he is that big shot who is intimidating without even getting angry, and whose every move makes people dare not even breathe.

Li Zehua was walking in front and was on the phone, "…that's what happened, investigate it thoroughly to find out what's going on!

The one who embezzled money was fired directly, Liu Xiaobo's probation period was extended by three months, and half of his bonuses for this month and next month were withheld.

As for you~ the probation period will be extended by one month!

You decide for yourself, and come up with preventive measures. If something like this happens again, I'll be the first to take action against you!"

Liang Xiaolong on the other end of the phone was in a heavy mood, "Don't worry, I will definitely get it done."

After hanging up the phone, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip. After thinking for a while, he called Qin Lang again...

When Chen Xiaomin saw that he had finished his work, she jumped up and said, "I can't believe you are only the same age as me, and you have become the general manager, managing so many people."

Needless to say, Li Zehua gave himself another promotion in front of them.

Now, he has the honor to become the deputy general manager of the Shanghai branch of .

I didn't dare to raise it too fast for fear of scaring people.

"It's all luck."

Li Zehua stopped where he was and waited for Shen Wanyi to catch up before saying, "Let's have dinner together tonight. I just happened to have an appointment with Professor Wu."

Wu Liangyu is a professor of economics at Jiaotong University, an independent director of the parent company of ChiMa, and Qin Lang’s mentor.

The most important thing is that he is Li Zehua and Shen Wanyi’s co-landlord, which is what he admires most.

This guy almost bought the entire building where he lived!
What a look!
"Okay, I'll go buy some groceries then."

Shen Wanyi's words blocked Li Zehua's subsequent words, and he could only agree.

I called Qin Lang again, but the call didn't go through, so I called Wu Liangyu and made an appointment to have dinner at the rental house in the evening.

Before he could go to the market to buy vegetables, the phone rang. It was Qin Lang.

Shen Wanyi smiled at him and said, "Go ahead and do whatever you need. Xiaomin and I will go buy groceries together."

"It's okay, let's go together."

Li Zehua said this, followed them and answered the phone.

Qin Lang quickly spoke up, "Boss Li, I am also responsible for this..."

"Stop. I'm not trying to hold you responsible. The company has grown too fast and there aren't enough people to manage it effectively. I know that well."

Li Zehua interrupted directly, “However, you still need to pay attention to grassroots management and prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

How about this, you come over first, I'll treat Teacher Wu to a drink today and we'll have dinner at home, you can come and keep him company."

After inviting him and bringing in Professor Wu, this big shot, how could we not take advantage of the opportunity to show some real money? We invited him to be an independent director and spent 200,000 yuan a year on him.

At least he has to bring back a few big ones, otherwise Li Zehua will not do business at a loss.

Qin Lang came very quickly. He arrived right after Li Zehua entered the room.

"Mr. Li, I thought about it on the way here. We should set a standard. Every time a specific preferential policy for an activity is introduced, a target should be set for completion and assessment, and it should be linked to the bonus."

Qin Lang was prepared, "Now the company is just starting out, and the various systems are not yet perfect!

In the future, it should be standardized and institutionalized, and small-scale pilot projects should be arranged for the details of various activities, and then comprehensively considered and improved before being promoted downwards.”

Li Zehua was very satisfied. After all, he was a top student from Jiaotong University. He came up with an effective plan in just half an hour.

"First, form a text plan..."

Li Zehua was just about to speak when there was a knock on the door. It was Wu Liangyu, and Qin Lang quickly got up and went up.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Wu Liangyu also brought a gift, which he placed on the table, and said with a smile, "What were you guys talking about? I heard some noise outside the door."

Once I heard what was going on, I quickly got into the mood, “This kind of thing is hard to avoid, we can only reduce the chances of it happening through rules and regulations.

For example, the biggest problem facing Chimo now is the serious problem of regional clustering.

Each of your sites originated from the same place, which gives you an advantage when you are competing in the market, but it is not good for your later development.”

He is not the kind of person who would take money and not do anything. He has agreed to become an independent director of Qingyun Asset Management Group.

Based on Qin Lang's description and the information he collected, he put a lot of effort into research.

He also arranged for his masters and doctoral students to set up special research topics, just to find out why Chuomai could develop so rapidly!
In addition to the boss's willingness to spend money, what qualities does he possess that can enable him to stand out in the fierce business competition?

Li Zehua was quite helpless. "Teacher Wu, I can't do anything about it. To put it bluntly, I'm just a young man with some luck.

Now, moving forward in starting a business is like being in the dark.

There are a few limited talents, such as Mr. Qin Lang, I wish I could tear him in half, but I still can't manage him.

Grassroots promotion and distribution can only be done temporarily, but it’s good to have people.”

He was not making excuses, he was stating a fact.

From the development of Chimo to today, except for a few people who invested by chance, the rest were forced to do it.

In the talent market, headhunting companies are simply unable to provide management and technical talents that match them.

If you have the ability, go to high-tech companies, joint ventures between foreign and state-owned enterprises, or go to one of the many large Internet companies that offer high salaries, good benefits, and great future prospects.

Have you eaten anything?
Managing people? What do they want?
There are many things to do and they are complicated. The salary is not high due to continuous losses!

To date, the average daily orders on the Chichimo website exceed 7, and those on Fengniao Express exceed 1.5, with daily receipts exceeding one million!

But in the eyes of outsiders, this is still a labor-intensive enterprise.

Which Internet company is so idle as to have thousands of people running business on the front line?
When these situations were laid out one by one, Wu Liangyu was scratching his head. He was helpless because there was really no precedent to follow.

You said this is a high-tech industry, but it has nothing to do with it.

But it can be said that it is an intermediary industry. Now some of its characteristics have been revealed. It is more like a platform that can bring together food, clothing, housing and transportation, and is a hub with infinite possibilities.

It is outrageous that it can also solve a large number of employment problems.

At least Wu Liangyu had never seen a similar enterprise in his memory.

That's why he insisted on joining the board of directors of Qingyun Asset Management despite others' dissuasion, just to find out what this thing is.

When the meal was urgently delivered, he simply looked down upon such trivial matters.

Wu Liangyu pondered for a moment and asked him, "The key depends on how you look at it. The company is developing rapidly now. I estimate that your loss this month is at least more than three million.

But from top to bottom, you have not established a sound system. It's more like a group of grassroots heroes gathered together and go wherever they want. This won't work!

You have to figure out what the company will eventually become, and make plans in terms of market positioning, scale, profit model, and so on.”

Because he didn't understand, he needed more data analysis, the most important of which was Li Zehua himself.

To be honest, he heard Qin Lang mention that Li Zehua planned to build a company with millions of employees, and he was laughing at that time.

Laughing at him for not knowing his own limitations, millions of people?
Does he think that playing house can be done by just opening his mouth?
According to the current minimum wage standard in Shanghai, it was 2009 yuan in 960. Calculated at yuan, it would cost several billion yuan a month.

In 08, there were not many companies whose national revenue exceeded this figure, let alone whose gross profit exceeded it.

Total nonsense!

But how long has it been?
A company that was established just two months ago is seeing its monthly turnover exceed 30 million. How fast is this?

Li Zehua thought about it and said, "In fact, we are still under control at this stage. The timeline I set for myself is that half a year will be the time to solve the group problem.

But what happened today was a wake-up call for me. Everyone has their own ideas. He dared to enrich himself right under my nose!

A promotion team leader can earn thousands of yuan every month without anyone noticing. What about the branch staff who are about to leave? I dare not think about it. "

Qin Lang didn't dare to answer. Although the branch company was still under the jurisdiction of the marketing department, he didn't have much power to appoint and dismiss personnel. Would he rashly ask for trouble at this time? Wu Liangyu didn't have this concern. "So at any time, don't underestimate the impact of human hearts on the development of the company.

I always think you do a very good job in this regard. You think the worst of your competitors and the best of your employees.

Whether it is arranging medical compensation for injured employees, donating money to employees from poor families, or paying full commission to part-time students.

This can quickly mobilize and stimulate their enthusiasm.

With a goal in mind, everyone is willing to take the initiative and contribute to the development of the company.

But as the saying goes, fear power rather than virtue. You can make them love you, but you can't make them fear you, and that's the problem."

Li Zehua thought for a moment, "So what? Do I need to make any changes?"

Wu Liangyu glanced at Qin Lang and shook his head, "This is your greatest advantage, there is no need to change. In addition to the law, you still need the warmth of humanity to make up for the lack.

If you can always maintain this childlike heart, it will be very beneficial to the internal unity of the company.

But companies cannot simply be lenient; they must hire a strict steward with enough prestige and talent.

For example, we can learn from other companies and set up a compliance department similar to that of banks to deal with such issues.”

"One plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy?"

Li Zehua thought to himself, I understand all this, but who will solve the problem?

After much thought, I found that there was no suitable person within the company.

Wu Liangyu was a very smart man. He spoke at this time, "I do have a suitable candidate. Please listen to me first..."

There was a person who wanted to change something.

To this end, first learn to establish your own foundation. Strictly demand yourself to do everything first, and then try to influence others.

Of course, a madman in this ideal state will inevitably leave people with the impression of being stubborn and rigid. He just happens not to have learned to be tactful and flexible, so he is really unwelcome wherever he goes.

It was fine at the beginning. Both foreign and private companies asked him to help with rectification, but this guy treated his subordinates equally, including those at the same level and even his superiors.

Who can bear this?
Even though he is from a famous school and has real talent and knowledge, he cannot escape the fate of being abandoned after his exploits have taken place.

He is nearly 35 years old, and he has only been doing well on the surface. Now he has received a termination notice from his old employer, and he doesn't even know what his next job will be.

Li Zehua hesitated slightly, "This old man, is he not the type who gets angry at everything?"

Seeing Qin Lang looking ashamed to face people, he thought that this person might be someone he knew.

I secretly groaned in my heart, what kind of people are the students taught by Professor Wu?
But it was hard to refuse, and I was counting on him to recommend more talents in the future, so I gritted my teeth and said,
"Of course, if it's recommended by you, Teacher Wu, it can't be wrong."

Wu Liangyu smiled and said, "Can you be more sincere and stop giving me perfunctory treatment? You're almost writing the word resistance on your face."

Li Zehua decisively passed the buck, "Don't blame me. Look at Qin Lang. He probably wants to die right now."

Qin Lang was confused, but he managed to force a smile. It seemed weird no matter how he looked at it. "Don't take me with you. I'm happy. Do you understand?

I can finally work with Senior Brother Liu again. We haven't seen each other for several years. I heard that he is the president of the compliance department of a multinational company in Lijiapo?"

He respectfully poured tea for Wu Liangyu, "Teacher, you too, you didn't even tell me that Senior Brother Liu was coming back."

Wu Liangyu looked at the funny duo and was so angry that he said, "Just try to sabotage me."

Turning to Li Zehua, he advised, "People! I recommended them to you.

It's up to you whether he's useful or not. He's capable, but he has a bad temper, you know."

Good fellow, even the teacher didn't dare to say it out loud, and Li Zehua had no hope at all. He almost refused directly, but said with a stiff upper lip.
"Teacher Wu, I have no objection to what you said. Just arrange for him to come for the interview."

Take a look at the person first, and if he is not suitable, find an opportunity to reject him. He dare not provoke me, and being scolded might be the least of his trouble.

As if remembering the pain of being dominated in the past, Qin Lang decisively covered his face, too embarrassed to look.

Wu Liangyu didn't care about all that. The main reason was that at the current stage, he couldn't understand the pattern inside and couldn't tell what would happen after taking it.

Qin Lang has no choice but to take the risk. He needs to be careful when recommending other students to avoid any problems in the future.

Just when it was awkward, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Xiaomin greeted politely, "The food is ready, Uncle Wu, please come downstairs to eat."

Chen Xiaomin respected this expert who was not in this field very much, because he knew her father and asked him to take care of her in Shanghai.

Wu Liangyu then stood up and said, "You two can do whatever you want. You don't have to make a decision just for my sake."

Then he went downstairs.

Li Zehua walked behind and asked quietly, "How is it going? Is there any progress?"

Qin Lang thought for a moment and said, "How can I put it? Senior Brother Liu's ability is absolutely fine!

With him around, it will be hard for someone in the company to have bad intentions in the future. Even with his temper, I doubt you can handle it."

Hearing this, Li Zehua's eyes lit up. It's good enough if he's talented. "For example?"

Qin Lang organized his words carefully, "For example, if you exchange the company's interests for a Mercedes-Benz, Senior Brother Liu will definitely rush into your office if he knows about it, and it will take more than two hours to finish it."

Li Zehua paused and thought carefully for a moment, "Is this a problem of concept or a problem of stance?"

If it's the latter, he really needs to consider it seriously.

Qin Lang said without hesitation, "In his eyes, the development and safety of the company may be more important. Although you are the boss, everything must be based on the interests of the company.

Mercedes-Benz is good, but it will add extra burden to the company. It is better to take the opportunity to strive for more convenient cooperation conditions. "

“A workaholic too?”

The limited information was not enough to judge anything, Li Zehua could only guess, "He is still a workaholic who regards other people's careers as his own. Why doesn't he start his own business?"

Qin Lang was speechless. "You really hit the nail on the head. He just failed in his business and owed a lot of debts, so he came out to work for others."

Recalling the past a little, he smiled bitterly and said, "But you must not mention this matter. I suspect he is very sensitive about it."

He was quite touched and said, "People like him are too serious about their work. They have to figure out right and wrong for every little thing. They have offended all the customers. Who would be willing to cooperate with him?
So failure in entrepreneurship is inevitable. If you have ever met someone, you will know that you cannot persuade a stubborn person. "

He wanted to say more, but Wu Liangyu in front of him couldn't help but urge him, "If you have anything to say, say it to your face. It's not gentlemanly to talk behind your back."

Well, the two little guys went downstairs in shame.

Even when they sat at the table, the two of them didn't stop talking about work.

Hearing Qin Lang introduce himself as the group director of the parent company of Eat Me, the two girls' faces changed, and there was something wrong in their eyes when they looked at Li Zehua again.

Wu Liangyu didn't pay attention and said to the two of them, "Don't worry about them, let's eat first."

He knows how to live. He tries this dish, eats that dish, and nods with satisfaction. The modified Sichuan cuisine is not spicy and is quite appetizing.

This was the first time Li Zehua came downstairs to eat, but his mind was not here.

“Since Teacher Wu has brought it up, let’s give it a try. You have experience in this area at the grassroots level. What I mean is that we should disrupt the traditional regional restrictions first.

We will start the pilot project from Jiaotong University. If it does not delay the normal work progress, we will then promote it to other areas.

But it is best to wait until the troops from Yanjing and Guangdong leave before raising this issue, so as not to shake the morale of the army."

Qin Lang was amazed by the two girls, but when he saw Shen Wanyi frequently passing bowls and dishes to Li Zehua like a young wife, he didn't dare to look at her for long.

Taking over the conversation, he said, "I will try my best to avoid any ideological fluctuations below. There are many positions available recently, so let's mix things up."

Li Zehua then held the bowl with satisfaction, and said while eating, "You discuss this with Lao Gu, I just want the result!"

Seeing Chen Xiaomin looking at him with confusion, and then looking at Shen Wanyi, he thought his face was dirty, so he wiped it with a tissue, but there was nothing.

Without asking, he said to Wu Liangyu, "Teacher Wu, do you think it is possible for me, a wild person like me, to continue my studies?"

Wu Liangyu laughed and said, "There is definitely no way through normal means!
But for you, there is some possibility. When your company grows bigger, you can donate some money to the school, become an honorary alumnus, and go through social recruitment to study for a postgraduate degree while working. "

As a well-known figure in the cultural and educational circles, Wu Liangyu is not averse to the combination of academia and industry. Teaching and educating people, especially economics, always requires putting theories into practice.

What could be more appropriate than a head of a large enterprise to personally verify the teaching theory?

In other words, Li Zehua’s status is not high enough, otherwise he would dare to call the school and request special admission.

Chen Xiaomin looked at this, looked at that, and then stared at Li Zehua hard, as if trying to see a flower.

Is it so easy to become a postgraduate student nowadays?
Are you still taking the guaranteed admission to graduate school?
