Chapter 494: Storm is coming and public opinion is at stake

"This morning, the provincial xx met with Mr. Li Zehua, chairman of Qingyun Group, in Xingcheng. The two sides reached a consensus on xxx...

It is reported that during the 425th Five-Year Plan period, Qingyun Group has invested billion RMB in Hunan, and during the th Five-Year Plan period, it will build several national key projects worth tens of billions of RMB..."

In Star City, as night falls, a family of three sits around the dinner table, with the provincial news playing on TV.

"Why does this guy look so familiar? Li Zehua, isn't that my high school dropout?"

The young people who had just graduated and started working were a little confused. They held their bowls and pointed at the TV with shocked expressions.

Some people are born to be the most eye-catching ones in the crowd. Even if many years have passed and their appearance and temperament have changed, it does not prevent people from remembering them deeply, and they are indeed very similar.

"You? And you're my classmate? If you know such an important person, would you still want me to help you find a job?"

The elders all took it as a joke, "Being a guest at the provincial government, he can use the word 'meeting' which shows his high status. A casual word from him can equal the efforts of your father in his whole life."

"I just said it casually, it doesn't necessarily mean it. Dad, can you buy me a Honor? It will be useful for work. My classmates and friends have all bought one."

The young man pursed his lips and did not argue. He just wanted to take the opportunity to get some benefits. "Look, I'm still using a keypad phone. I can't even install WeChat. Now many companies want to use WeChat for work."

The kid's father sneered, "I think you look like Rongyao, so I can buy you a Rongwei at most. Take it or leave it."

"Rongwei? You can't embarrass that person if you take it out."

The young man got angry, threw the bowl away and ran into the room.

The elder was about to start fighting angrily, "This kid only knows how to compare himself with others, but he doesn't even think about how easy it is for me to buy a house and a car in Star City!"

The wife next to him tried to persuade him, but was scolded before she could say a few words. She did not get angry, but just quietly cleaned the table and prepared hot tea for her husband.

Finally, I knocked on my son's room door and asked him what he would like to eat for a midnight snack.

"I have an appointment to eat out."

The young man ignored her and was rummaging through boxes and drawers looking for things from his high school days, but to no avail. He then turned on his computer and logged into QQ, asking for Li Zehua's information in the class group.

At this point, many people of the same age were online, and someone immediately responded: "Come on, how can a big boss come out of our small place?

It's written on Baidu Encyclopedia that he is from Hunan Province, but it doesn't say where he graduated from. He is a postgraduate student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. "

"It looked like this on the news, so I asked about it."

The young man was not discouraged, but curiously asked, "Does anyone know what Li Zehua is doing now?"

"I think I heard him say before that he worked in an electronics factory in Tangxia, Dongguan, and earned about 1,000 yuan a month. Damn, I'm impressed.

He went to work in a factory before graduating from high school. I graduated from a junior college in three years, spent 60,000 to 70,000 yuan on tuition, and also went to work in an electronics factory. Wasn’t it a waste of time to go to this crappy junior college?"

"You're lucky. At least you can still work in the factory. I can't even find a job now."

For a moment, the group became lively, with many people talking at once.

"Our class is ranked third in the best high school in the city, and it's also a key class, but only one student got into a key university, three got into a key university, and the rest either went to junior colleges or private junior colleges, and they were unemployed after graduation.

I have been staying at home for half a year. My mother said that if I can’t find a job, she will let me deliver food.”

When someone complained, someone else joked, "Come on, you're the only one who wants to deliver food? He makes five or six thousand a month, plus five social insurances and one housing fund, which is more than most people earn.

My dad wanted to quit his job and become a food delivery guy, but unfortunately, the requirements are very high. They require good appearance and service attitude, and the person must be able to speak fluent Mandarin, so it’s hard to get in.”

"Why can't I deliver food? I was once a handsome guy in school, okay?"

"Then why don't you go and send them off? Haha, but I heard that people with Apple phones are not allowed to enter Qingyun, so you have nothing to do but show off."

"Fuck you, that's better than not being able to buy a Roewe."

The young people looked at the information in the group and joined the chat team. However, no one expected that the account that had not been logged in for a thousand years would never be online again.

It seems that the person they are teasing now is really the same person...

"Don't tell me anything difficult. If everything can be done easily, why would I spend so much money to invite you back?"

In the headquarters office of the Xingcheng branch, Li Zehua looked at the report in his hand and scolded the senior managers of several subsidiaries who had followed him.

"At the beginning of the year, you promised me that the plan would be completed. Now, you just say it's too difficult and want to push the responsibility away?"

At this point, he gestured to Liu Zijie next to him and said, "You handle this matter. Fire those who should be fired and hold those responsible accountable. The company doesn't want to keep useless people."

The matter is not big. It’s just that the construction of BYD’s production line in Xingcheng, the OEM business of Chaoxu, and the progress of cooperation with Lens Technology and Sany Heavy Industry are not satisfactory.

The installation and commissioning of BYD's first electric vehicle production line, which was originally scheduled to start trial production at the end of 10, did not proceed smoothly and was half a month later than originally planned, making it impossible to complete employee training before the Spring Festival.

If it is delayed until after the New Year, we will have to start all over again. Even with the help of Wu Xi and the mature team sent by Jinshi, it may take until April 2011 before we can start full production.

"Every day of delay means loss. Don't think the company's money comes from the wind. Don't you know how many vehicles BYD owes to consumers?

Why is there no sense of urgency?"

Liu Zijie is not very good at specific business. He only recognizes the plan outline jointly formulated by the expert group and the management. If it is not completed, it will be handled according to regulations.

Especially since he had to rush to accept the work results before the New Year, which was related to the company's subsequent assessment of the year-end bonuses for each department and the company as a whole, and involved an overall expenditure of several billion, he had to be cautious.

Listening to Li Zehua's scolding, he said expressionlessly: "According to the regulations, since it has caused great losses to the company's established strategy, the Xingcheng BYD project preparation team will withhold 60% of this year's bonus package.

Star City Electronic Equipment Negotiation Team, deduct 35% of the bonus..."

There are rewards and punishments. The real estate project management team, Xingcheng branch, Pinxixi business group and other departments that exceed the progress target will receive bonuses of 5-25% of the excess.

There are additional rewards for outstanding individuals and departments.

"Okay, you stay and host it. I'm going back to the Magic City this afternoon and I have a lot of things to deal with."

Li Zehua said this and led his people out.

The main reason he went back to Hunan Province this time was to bring the two pregnant women to meet his mother. Apart from being scolded and having his family members' views shattered, everything else was fine.

But I can't not bring them along. I can't just be so cold and treat two people as mere tools, right?
He was quite smart and knew to let Lin Wan come secretly, and introduce her to his mother while Fu Yujie was resting in the villa.

In short, everything went smoothly. People are selfish. If it were my daughter, eight out of ten would not agree. But it's another matter if it's my son...

After returning to Shanghai, he was also very busy. Every member of the management team who stayed at the headquarters had a lot of things waiting to be reported, such as Spring Festival duty, business summary, and review of next year's work plan.

He has to make the final decision on everything, including welcoming and seeing off guests, maintaining interpersonal relationships at the company level, etc.

“I will definitely attend the year-end review of each company. As for the work report for next year, it will be voted on and approved by the board of directors of each company, and all directors must sign.

Then the decision-making committee will review it. If there are no problems, it will be reported to the office for record. If there are obvious disputes, we will deal with it later.

As for the company-level condolences and reception work, in previous years it was handled by Director Wu Yibin, but this year it was handled by General Manager Gu.”

Li Zehua arranged the general direction in an orderly manner. "Wang Fei from the office will go to Power Technology to take up his new post tomorrow. Please ask General Manager Yu to arrange the connection. Also, call a few candidates over this afternoon. I will have a chat with them in person."

No matter how much he said, Zhang Tao just said, "Okay." "As for Ma Jun, ask him to come over. The closer the Spring Festival is, the more we must be careful about safety."

Ma Jun is the vice president in charge of the group's external security and one of the people he can absolutely trust. He is in charge of the scientific expedition team sent to the third world. He is also the group's supervisor in charge of intelligence collection and analysis.

Gu Shijie and Lin Wenhui arrived first.

As soon as they met, Gu Shijie first gave a brief report on the size of the group, then said with some hesitation: "Chairman, the group's salary and benefits have always been a hot topic in society.

It is not difficult to deal with cooperative partners, as everyone respects each other and expresses their opinions implicitly. However, Quanwang has accused the company of seeking fame and reputation, buying people's hearts and minds, and destroying the market balance in public more than once.

Especially because the performance of Hummingbird Group has increased significantly this year, Mr. Zeng applied for 6th salary at the end of the year as the benchmark bonus amount. As soon as the news came out, Quan Wang was interviewed by an authoritative media.

They openly accused us of destroying the overall environment, undermining the industry norms that our competitors had worked so hard to establish, and talking about things that were not conducive to the long-term stable development of the manufacturing industry...

Mr. Zeng was so angry that he confronted him publicly and said some unpleasant things, which caused some people to have a one-sided view of the company~"

"Wait, Zeng Haiyang and Quan Wang are fighting against the guy who sells glass?"

Li Zehua was speechless for a moment, "What on earth did he say? Why didn't anyone inform me?"

"It was fine before, and there was no big uproar. But the day before yesterday morning, Fengniao announced a 6-month salary with a minimum bonus of yuan through the WeChat platform and the app homepage, and also recruited people with lofty ideals to join the company.

I don't know what I did to break the other person's fragile heart. When I was interviewed by the central media in the afternoon, I said some inappropriate words, which caused many people in society to follow suit.

On Weibo, QQ, portal websites and TV broadcasting channels, they accused the company of destroying the market and maliciously suppressing the development of the manufacturing industry..."

Facing Gu Shijie's explanation, Li Zehua frowned and wondered whether this was an isolated accidental incident or a premeditated attack?

Lin Wenhui seemed to see his confusion and took the initiative to explain, "It looks like a collective conspiracy. Hon Hai's Guo Taiming has accused it before, and many foreign companies have also pointed out the company.

The implicit meaning of the words is simply to attack the company on the grounds that it has no technical content and relies on scale advantages to form a monopoly operation.

Do you think we should make some adjustments to our commissions and bonuses to avoid more criticism?"

"An adjustment? Mr. Zeng's salary is only 6 yuan by Shanghai standards, and his total monthly salary is only 6600 yuan. Even with this, a bunch of people jumped out to criticize him.

How to adjust again? Excellent employees work hard for a year, but they don’t deserve a bonus? "

Li Zehua sneered, "The Pacific police are really too lenient. He is wealthy and has no worries for his descendants, but he can't let others live a good life.

Even if we create a happy life through hard work, it seems like it was snatched from his pocket.”

"But there are also complaints from higher-ups, who believe that the high salary is too high and is tilted towards the lower classes, which is likely to affect the entire job market. Based on the median salary in Shanghai, which is less than 2500 yuan, the group provides five social insurances and one housing fund.

The actual expenditure was over 5000 yuan, and basically more than double that for each position.

In inland areas, the proportion is even more exaggerated. In many places, the monthly income is less than 2500 yuan, but the price offered by the group is basically above yuan.

Considering the group's current 130 million full-time employees and over 150 million part-time employees, the scope of impact is so large that even friendly companies have been impacted, and there are too many people who want to switch jobs.

Yesterday I specifically asked Mr. Gu for a summary of recently submitted resumes and those who passed the entry review, and found an obvious trend of change.

That is, more and more highly educated people are joining the company. If this continues, it may really have an impact on related industries.”

Lin Wenhui seems to be worried about this, "It is a huge waste of talent to let college graduates run takeout and express delivery instead of letting them create wealth in social positions where they are more competent.

Competitors seize on this point and make a big fuss about it. Another point is the ratio of the company's employees.

According to the standards you set before, regardless of the position or industry, all recruitment is based on the premise of 1:1, but the reality is that the proportion of front-line employees is basically male.

In the food delivery and transportation industries, this figure may be as high as 97% or even 98%, which causes a serious problem to continue to accumulate and ferment.

In business-oriented companies, front-end service personnel account for more than 8%. If the one-to-one principle is followed, there will be a shortage of 5% of the opposite sex and an equal number of extra men.

In addition, the backend is based on a 1:5 ratio of 100% and half each, so the actual consequence is that out of 9 people, the actual ratio is 2% male and only 8% opposite sex.

Many media outlets took the opportunity to stir up trouble, accusing the company of having a preconceived position and not respecting talent or that thing. "

"Post the ratio of back-end positions, count the number of employees later, exclude the front-end positions, make a separate table, and increase the scale of recruitment of opposite sexes at the front-end.

In short, my requirements are very simple. The social division of labor must be equal, and the responsibilities and obligations must also be equal. The approach of Squid Capital to over-elevate high-quality consumers will not work here.

For a country that is mainly based on manufacturing and agriculture, empty talk that is divorced from reality is meaningless. What's the point of having WeChat in their hands?
If they dare to smear, they should go straight to the core of the problem and deal with those who raise questions and create conflicts, rather than trying to prove their innocence by falling into the trap set by others. "

Li Zehua sneered. He has never spoiled anyone in his life. "Based on the principle that whoever benefits is the driving force behind the scenes, we can just focus on the so-called actual controllers of media companies and funds.

When it comes to playing around, this group of people are masters. I firmly believe that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. These people have resources that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and they have been honest people for so many years.

We will catch a few of the most enthusiastic dancers and expose them from head to toe in front of the public. We will have sharp eyes to help us distinguish whether they are human or ghost. "

Lin Wenhui hesitated to speak. He didn't want to confront the opponent head-on, but he didn't know how to say it.

Gu Shijie looked at him and smiled, "Boss, should we discuss this again? If we really start a fight, it will be a long-lasting war of words.

Besides, the authorities do not want to cause trouble at a time when hot money is pouring in from all over the world. After all, if they want other people's funds and technology to boost the economic engine, they have to temporarily tolerate different opinions.

Furthermore, WeChat Technology has not yet completely established its advantages. Its current number of registered users is still far from 100 million. Although its number of active users is three times that of mobile QQ, it is not yet at the point of determining the winner.

Showing group tendencies too early can easily lead to opponents forming a group. Isn’t Tenda Ahri the best example? "

After saying that, he also vaguely mentioned the overseas business layout. It is okay to confront each other, but not now. It should be done after gaining a firm foothold in the domestic and Southeast Asian markets.

"Okay, I won't make a big response for now, but I'll still do what I have to do. This is the old trick of Squid Capital. If you don't obey and cooperate, they will throw dirty water on you and mobilize public opinion to provoke confrontation.

In order to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and suppress financing channels.

Fortunately, the company does not lack their money. If they hadn’t come to us shamelessly, even Pinxixi would not have invested in them.

Oh, damn, hasn’t Pinxixi applied to be listed in the US? Say hello to Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, take good care of their pets and stop them from barking here every day, or you won’t have any soup to drink.”

Facing his boss's domineering response, Lin Wenhui couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You are awesome, you just say no to a market value of tens of billions?
But the investors who bought the investment fund don’t think so. As a subordinate, I sincerely hope that you don’t discuss these issues in public to avoid being exaggerated by those with ulterior motives.”

Li Zehua spread his hands and said, "So I am learning from Wang Wei and try to show up less and speak less before I have a thorough grasp of media resources.

Now I don’t want to talk about my microphone, so I won’t say anything. When the microphone comes to my hand, I will make the decision. I will expose their ugly faces to the whole world and expose all the bones and dregs of these people.”

Lin Wenhui smiled bitterly and said, "We are looking forward to that day, but before that, we should try our best to hide our true thoughts.

When Wu Yibin was in the Public Relations Department, he also made these comments, but they didn’t reach a large scale.

"It is true that he has contributed to this, but it was also WeChat that showed up and poked people in the lungs. Now they have jumped out to speak for their master."

Li Zehua saw through it. "Write down the names of those who spoke in my little black notebook. Don't respond recklessly. When the time is up, I will deal with them one by one.

In addition, try to find out what products this group of people usually use, especially electronic products. If they are all foreign products, use this point to make some noise.

As long as they dare to use the group's app services and domestic products, they will have the opportunity to record everything at all times, and then verify the authenticity through other means, and then take them down at the critical moment! "

Li Zehua is a man who bears grudges. If anyone doesn't want him to have a good life, he will make them regret being a human being. (End of this chapter)
