Li Zehua naturally didn't know how his casual words would change the fate of others.
He is just following his heart and trying to let as many people as possible benefit from the group's development.
On the way back to the branch office from the airport, he repeatedly reminded Liu Xiaobo: "When it comes to buying and selling investment quotas, it's best to follow the principle of voluntariness. After all, there are always people who are unwilling to pay.
But we cannot simply assume that all employees who sold their places gave up their places voluntarily. Did anything bad happen here? I think so.
You should issue a notice and announce the email address, phone number and address of the Compliance Supervision Department to everyone. If anyone takes advantage of the opportunity to commit fraud, seize property by trickery, force people to give up, etc., once verified, they will be punished.
Fire him immediately, no mercy!
For individuals whose families are truly in financial difficulty and who want to invest, the company will provide interest-free loans, which will be deducted from their wages for two years.
There is another thing, about chain supermarkets. The company has discussed this for a long time, and I personally have an opinion on it, which is that urban areas, especially in first-, second- and third-tier cities, have a large flow of people.
If it is only given to one person, it would be unfair to everyone. They all pay 60,000 yuan for one spot, so why can some people open a store in the core business district of Pengcheng, the Magic City?
But most people can only open stores in remote counties, urban suburbs or even towns?
The management argued fiercely, and many people believed that points should be distributed according to the degree of contribution to the group, and priority should be given to those with good locations and greater contributions. In my opinion, this is all nonsense.
Oh, the group doesn't usually pay according to work performance? For example, at your level, including additional benefits, cars, housing and various bonuses, you get about 70 or 80 a year, right?
If you add in the three years of internal preferential housing purchases, it is another several million dollars in benefits. When investing in overseas funds before, I remember you seemed to have asked Leung Siu-lung to invest 10 US dollars.
Now I have a net worth of tens of millions of RMB. People should be content. We can't force all good things upon one group of people, right?
Without these excellent employees and dedicated grassroots administrators, you are rootless. Won't you feel guilty for snatching resources from them?"
Liu Xiaobo was full of grievances, "Boss, I voted in favor. There are 160 stores planned in Xingcheng City, and I made a schedule to select 112 of them with better locations.
It is exclusively for the joint ownership of all the outstanding employees of Xingcheng Branch.”
"You approve?"
Li Zehua subconsciously looked at the front passenger seat. Oh, Wang Fei didn't come with them. He stayed in Shanghai to handle some things and took over the daily affairs of Qingyun Power Technology.
Without an assistant to arrange detailed reminders in advance, how could a big boss like him have the time to pay attention to the document reports of a branch company?
But in a blink of an eye, he picked out the problem, “Is that what you agree with?
Xiaobo, you are a veteran in the company and now you are the director of the entire Central China region. You should not limit your view of issues to the branch companies but look at them from the perspective of the overall situation and development.
What does it mean that all the outstanding employees of Xingcheng Branch hold shares together? It is narrow-minded and does not consider the future at all. If an employee is transferred or promoted, will the new employee not have a share?
No, this is not conducive to the unity of the company and the struggle of employees. You draft a plan and submit it to the administrative department, and then it is carried out according to the standards of the industrial fund. Why should employees in remote areas of the west be treated as such?
For the same effort, should we earn so much less than our colleagues in the developed eastern regions?
There are differences in regional development levels and people's abilities vary. We fully respect objective facts, but we must also make certain tendencies in wealth distribution.
It is impossible to achieve absolute fairness, but we still need policy protection. In a convenience store in Shanghai, if you make 20,000 yuan a month, you have to take out at least one-third of it.
When subsidies are extended to other regions, the Xingcheng branch must also follow this standard. Since Xingcheng is developed, does that mean we don’t need to worry about Xiangxi and Xiangnan?
In the long run, who would be willing to stay in remote and backward areas and contribute to the long-term development of the group? Can a company of this size be supported by just a few developed cities? "
Liu Xiaobo said with a bitter face, "I'm afraid the people below will disagree."
"If you don't agree, don't vote. Oh, if you come across something good, you'll take it, you'll get as much as you can, but if you're not satisfied, you'll just give up?
Anyone who dares to complain, let him come to me.
I just can't believe it. There is such a rule in the world. A store in the core area of Shanghai also requires an investment of 6 yuan. In my opinion, only one employee can hold shares.
It is unrealistic to ask them to increase investment funds temporarily, and it is also easy to cause a burden on financial accounting. The most important thing is that most of the houses for opening stores are purchased by Qingyun Real Estate.
The worst-case scenario is to win over the landlords and establish long-term cooperation based on a fixed profit-sharing ratio. This policy has been well implemented in the Chizuome restaurant chain, effectively reducing the group's operating costs.
And there is no need to worry about landlords breaking contracts due to rising real estate prices.”
As Li Zehua was talking, he couldn't help but glare at him, "You've grown wings now, haven't you? You look quite unconvinced."
Liu Xiaobo quickly begged for mercy, "Boss, how dare I do that? The key is that doing this is not conducive to improving the enthusiasm of employees. You know, in the three provinces of central China, there are grassroots employees.
Don’t you hope to be transferred from remote areas to Xingcheng, Jiangcheng, or Changzhou?
If nothing else, this is the economic, cultural, educational and medical center of each province. It is very convenient in terms of salary and benefits as well as family retirement and schooling.
Oh, forget about Changzhou. You moved it from East China, which is simply a burden. Zhejiang Province originally provided targeted assistance.
We can still barely maintain a loss, but now that it has been incorporated into Central China, the two lakes are not rich to begin with, and we have to complete unplanned tasks for Jiangxi Province, and the people below are complaining bitterly. "
"How dare you complain? You were the manager of the Second District of Shanghai, and Hao Junjie was your assistant manager, right? He is now the director of the South China Region, so you have a lot of work to do.
Don't the tasks in northern Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan Province in the east and west of Hainan Province are heavy? Aren't those places poor? With your ability, it's hard for you to be a regional director.
Hao Junjie exceeds his targets every quarter, and the presidents of many subsidiaries have specifically asked him to help. But your boss Liang has suggested to me several times that Hao Junjie should go to the agricultural company.
If Xie Bin had not asked to go to Hummingbird Crowdsourcing as president, Hao Junjie would now be the president of a subsidiary. At the very least, he would follow Guo Xinyi and He Li to Qingyun Electronics as a vice president.
You are so lucky. Liang Xiaolong recommended you to take over his job in the East China Region. Wow, when the decision-making committee voted, half of them were not optimistic about you, and the remaining half were all friendly votes. "
What Li Zehua said was an exaggeration. Liu Xiaobo was able to successfully take over Central China, so his ability was definitely not a problem. The main issue was the issue of regional solidarity.
The boss is from Hunan Province, so naturally there are a lot of middle and senior managers from Hunan Province under him. Fortunately, Li Zehua has prevented his relatives from joining the company from the very beginning, otherwise the situation would have been even more serious.
Liang Xiaolong was promoted to Qingyun Agriculture to look after core resources for Li Zehua. The new head of the East China region was Yang Zhichao's direct subordinate who was transferred from the Northeast.
Liu Xiaobo was insulted but did not dare to refute loudly. This is a common problem of those who control resources. They cannot bear to see good resources and will put them in their own bowls first, regardless of whether they can use them or not.
Just like his current income, is he really short of another 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month?
There is no shortage of them at all, but the management below can't resist the resources needed to buy them off. They are eager to invest in all the Qingyun Yijiale supermarkets planned in the core area of Xingcheng.
It would be best to prevent latecomers from investing, so that they can earn easy money in peace and stability for the rest of their lives.
How could Li Zehua not see the deep meaning in this? He even required an annual review of the share of industrial investment, in order to prevent someone from relying on past achievements to earn money and grabbing the resources of latecomers in disguise.
With the company shares held by Industrial Fund B, it is certain that the value will easily exceed one trillion in ten years. If you do not consider liquidation, you can buy 5 yuan today and keep them until 20/21.
Saying it’s worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions may be a bit of an exaggeration, but five million is enough as long as you have the hands. What does one million five million mean?
Unless the group stops recruiting new employees from today, this group of people will never have to worry about food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea for the rest of their lives.
"Don't play dead. Who doesn't know this little trick of yours? Do you want to completely block the upward passage for those who come later?
I'm telling you, there's no way. If anyone tries to solidify this in Qingyun, I'll smash his pot and make him have nothing to drink."
Li Zehua sneered, "Do you think I am unkind? I relied on you to gain the market, but now I don't allow you to enjoy it?"
"I dare not think so."
Liu Xiaobo was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly. The boss's decisive and cruel actions against venture capitalists in recent days really scared many people, even the venture capitalists who had invested money and effort to protect the company's development.
Even the big shots who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths were dealt with rudely. How could these hired executives who completely depended on Li Zehua for their livelihood dare to act rashly?
As Li Zehua's personal authority grew, his subordinates became less willing to look him in the face. Even Liu Xiaobo could clearly sense his change.
Money makes people weak, but this is true for anyone. When Li Zehua had only one million in his pocket, he remained humble and respectful to everyone.
When he had 10 billion, there were not many people he could take seriously. If you count them, um, there were only about 1,700 to 1,800 of them.
When gold rose to US$1400 per ounce and cotton fell from nearly US$3 to US$3, we successfully exchanged resources with Temasek Holdings and obtained permission to merge with Minsheng Group.
His actual disposable net assets have long exceeded 100 billion RMB. Before the massive expansion of Internet finance, it was no exaggeration to call him the richest man in mainland China.
In other words, Forbes was dazzled by a bunch of complicated funds and could not figure out how many shares Li Zehua actually held. Otherwise, he would definitely be ranked first on the rich list that was being compiled.
Even so, he still has a place among the top ten richest people in 2010.
Money over hundreds of billions is simply a numbers game, but when the resources at one's disposal reach a certain level, it is difficult to ignore a person's ambition, temperament, confidence and stance in his every move.
Even though Li Zehua was smiling, Liu Xiaobo did not dare to act rashly and could only beg for mercy, "Boss, I know I was wrong. I will make a document myself when I return to the company.
I will make sure that all the colleagues in the subsidiaries and branches understand the boss's intentions. If anyone dares to eat for free, I will get rid of him without your intervention."
"Come on, come on, I finally understand that none of you guys are telling the truth."
Li Zehua sighed inwardly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I came here at the invitation of the Hunan Provincial Government to learn about the current situation of poverty alleviation in Xiangxi.
One is the pension issue for poor elderly and disabled people, and the other is the schooling, food and clothing issues for left-behind children. The branch pays attention to collecting similar information.
Also, I asked you to go to the Hunan Provincial Education Department to ask how the Xingcheng Education Committee is doing. Is there any problem in approving the kindergarten to the private high school?"
To be honest, Qingyun has no interest in running an education system. Even if Li Zehua came from the future, he would have a hundred ways to squeeze every last drop of blood out of parents and students.
But he has little interest in the elderly care, medical (non-life health research), and education industries. Firstly, there is no challenge, and secondly, the waters are too deep and it is easy to drown.
It is almost impossible to make money just by doing the industry itself!
It's the same no matter who does it.
It’s like the tuition for going to school is always the small part, and what about clothing, meals, shopping in the school area, drinking water, tutoring materials, training, remedial classes, extracurricular tutoring, interest classes, etc.
He is the one who makes the most money. In later generations, there were huge pitfalls in school districts, which overdrew the family's future for 30 years at one time. Li Zehua has mental mysophobia, so naturally he cannot bear the infamy.
If you want to blame someone, blame the Jiandan Ai Mutual Aid Fund and the Geography, Humanities and Environment Scientific Research Project, which have recruited about 1500 professional filming teams at home and abroad to shoot promotional documentaries.
To make some extra money for the group, usually due to Li's supervision, not only did they not lose money but they even made a small profit. Recently, for some reason they went crazy, they sent more than 400 documentary filming crews to all parts of the country at once.
Under the guise of recording the reality of today, many filming crews were actually kicked out by local government offices because these people were totally useless!
They focus on shooting people's painful spots, whether it is polluted mountains and rivers, or the hidden side of poverty-stricken areas, or things like left-behind children and lonely elderly people.
What kind of patient village is this? There are all kinds of them. After it was established, the administrative department started to run around to major friendly companies and subsidiaries to beg for donations, ask for sponsorship, and sell insurance.
As soon as the film started, everyone cried. The bosses couldn't help crying after watching it. They cried even harder when they started writing checks.
Finally, I found out that Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance led the sponsorship of 100 million yuan. When Jiang Yi mobilized his subordinates, he said fiercely: "The most original and real clips can move people the most.
The only requirement is that everyone who watches it should cry, so as to inspire their sense of truth, goodness and beauty and awaken their compassion. Those who are willing to do charity and help others will naturally be potential customers of the insurance business.
Not only do they have to buy auto insurance, life insurance, medical accident and major illness insurance, and financial insurance for themselves, but they are also asked to pay extra money to buy insurance for strangers they have never met.
Yes, it is to help others prevent falling back into poverty, provide charitable aid to students, provide education and third-party medical insurance..."
When it comes to controlling people, insurance companies are absolutely awesome. This even caused Li Zehua to start paying attention to the issue of left-behind children. This is because more than half of the company's employees are migrant workers.
Qingyun cannot control their parents for the time being, but he is very interested in their children.
In other words, Li Zehua himself is very interested in whether there will be the next Zhang Tao here. If there are good seedlings, can they be cultivated and instilled from an early age?
It’s actually not bad to have children at home like in ancient times. Everyone has their own pursuits and ideals. Maybe there are some who have no pursuits, are greedy for enjoyment, and are easily controlled?
Even if not, you can become a future scientist, manager, or even the owner or technician of a competitor's supporting factory, even if you work as a food deliveryman, express deliveryman, or ride-hailing driver in the future.
That was also to train professional talents for Qingyun Group in advance. Li Zehua had no interest in sending them to university, but in the process, it would be nice to train them to become industrial workers.
Liu Xiaobo felt very uncomfortable because his work achievements were not recognized and his boss was only concerned about other things. He wanted to protest but didn't dare to and could only report the progress in a depressed manner.
"Wait, it's OK for kindergarten, not for elementary school, but OK for middle school? What kind of routine is this?"
After listening to his report on the results of his communication and contact with the education system, Li Zehua was puzzled, "Is there anything special about elementary schools?"
"During the compulsory education stage, even for junior high school, we had to fight hard before we were approved."
It would have been fine if Liu Xiaobo hadn't explained it, but once he did, Li Zehua became even more confused, "How is that possible? Which big city doesn't have a bunch of aristocratic primary schools?
If I remember correctly, there is an aristocratic primary school near the first two-story building in District 2 of Shanghai, right?
I heard that the tuition and fees for one year are more than 7 yuan? "
Liu Xiaobo nodded, "That's what the higher-ups said. If the group is going to invest in elite education and build a chain of aristocratic primary schools, it's not impossible in principle. It can be done even if it's a little troublesome.
In principle, it's not a big problem, but the problem is that Qingyun Primary School for Children of Migrant Workers is not negotiable."
"You've confused me. I'm going to meet with the leaders of the Hunan Provincial Government tomorrow, and I need to get things clear."
Li Zehua frowned slightly, "It can't be that 10 billion yuan of poverty alleviation funds can't buy a school for migrant workers, right?
If it doesn’t work, just name it Qingyun. I don’t plan to make money anyway, so just treat it as charity.”
He had watched the documentary and knew a saying very well: only people at the bottom of society could empathize with the sufferings of people at the bottom of society. Fortunately, he had the experience of being heavily in debt in his previous life.
Those days were so painful and unforgettable that even now he cannot forget the pain of having his marrow sucked out and his bones scraped away. He just wanted to make the world a better place.
At the same time, it will encourage employees to work harder, earn more money for him, and gain a good reputation at the same time.
That's it.
Keep doing it and changes will happen.
For example, when Qiao Sanxi saw the message sent by Regional Director Liu Xiaobo in the corporate WeChat group, she burst into tears. She thought she had no hope.
But the company's policy once again strengthened her determination to escape from suffering.
Not every family is worth helping, but God favors those poor people who work hard to change their destiny, because as long as they persist in their efforts, they can really change their destiny.
If she is not an outstanding employee of the group, she will not be able to enjoy this policy. (End of this chapter)
