Be it the mobile phone operating system or the selection of administrative assistants, neither of them can be implemented in a short period of time.
Not to mention that Li Zehua didn't know that someone was planning to send traitors to Qingyun. Even if he knew, he would just laugh it off, because there were too many people doing this and he couldn't control them all.
However, those who want to send people to him still think too highly of themselves. For example, once Liu Ziliang is confirmed to be promoted, the routine investigations of the administrative department and the human resources department will be very strict.
What's more, there was also Zhang Tao from the security department watching nearby, but he just didn't pay attention to a small figure like Jiang Yingwen for the time being...
"Why don't you stay in Southeast Asia for a few more days? Looking at the itinerary report, I thought you wouldn't be back until the end of the month."
Gu Shijie hadn't been to the chairman's office alone for a long time. He had long been accustomed to his boss being out frequently. With him and Yu Li in the company, nothing serious would happen.
Li Zehua warmly invited him to sit down like a friend, "Do you think I want to? The weather in Shanghai is still too cold. It's not as comfortable as sunbathing every day in Nanyang."
As he spoke, he moved the brewed tea in front of him with his fingers, "HSBC is chasing us for cooperation. As you know, many of those people in Southeast Asia have branches in Hong Kong.
They all have unclear connections with Daiying Capital, and the relationship is complicated and difficult to disentangle. It is difficult to forcefully reject them, and even Temasek cannot directly help to stop them. "
"Who wouldn't be jealous of such a huge amount of funds? I was shocked when I heard the news. More than 400 billion US dollars of funds were deposited in one month, and this is just the first phase.
If it really succeeds, wouldn't the group have a mountain of gold in its hands in the future? To exaggerate, it is even more terrifying than directly controlling a country's central bank to print money.
No wonder you keep saying that if micropayments are used well, they are like financial nuclear bombs, especially in developing countries where there is a lack of regulation. Just fill in a number if you want the amount of money~"
Gu Shijie subconsciously took over the topic, but he quickly reacted, "You're not going to throw the trouble to me to deal with again, are you?"
"clever."
"Boss, please give me a way out. I am not responsible for business cooperation, and this is related to Internet financial affairs. Otherwise, can you find someone else to take the blame?
I think both Lin Wenhui and Liu Zijie are very suitable. Mr. Lin is an expert in finance and has a Temasek background, so he will have no problem taking charge.
Wei Kejian and Xiao Chengdong were both recommended by CEO Liu. One is the president of the Southeast Asia business group, and the other is the president of domestic micropayment. It was natural for him to come forward.”
Gu Shijie was in a big trouble. He had a lot of things to deal with within his job, and if he took over the overseas business, he would be too busy to handle it. What's more, it seemed that his boss was not interested in Hong Kong Capital at all.
Having a deal done may not necessarily be a credit.
If the talks fail, who knows how many people will be offended. Hong Kong capital is not so easy to deal with. Many overseas bonds in the mainland are issued through local financial windows.
The existence of demand means that Hong Kong capital has a great say in the country. Even the Shanghai government has to consider the impact and will inevitably put pressure on it.
He expressed these concerns, feeling somewhat uneasy.
“It’s true that they are more suitable, but Wei Kejian is good at defending the status quo, but he still needs practice in controlling the overall situation. He can’t handle Zhou Shouyuan.
Mr. Lin was also busy as he was handling Minsheng affairs in Yanjing. He had no time to guard against HSBC taking the opportunity to blackmail him, after all, Minsheng Group was listed in Hong Kong.
The reason why I came back early was to get rid of the influence of Southeast Asian capital and avoid being kidnapped by HSBC's connections. If I agreed, I would feel unhappy, but if I didn't agree, I would lose face for my friends.
Now that I'm back, at least there's someone watching over me. Don't worry, the local authorities and those above have different interests. This time when I went to Lijiaopo, I reached an agreement with the local authorities, and there will be more financing channels in the future.
In addition, Shanghai, Yanjing and Yuqing have obtained a lot of US dollar bond issuance quotas. I believe they will not deliberately set up obstacles.
So it’s not that easy for HSBC to take its shares from us.”
Shanghai and Yanjing must be given priority. Yuqing’s municipal development dollar bonds are a condition for the relocation of Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance’s headquarters. Originally, they also wanted to get a share for Guangdong East.
However, the latter is closer to Hong Kong and has more accessible channels, so they are naturally unwilling to pay the extra price.
Gu Shijie didn't understand these things, so it was normal for him to have doubts. Li Zehua smiled and said, "Besides, haven't you always wanted to get involved in the personnel management of overseas business? The opportunity is here, why don't you seize it?
Don't tell me that you and Zhang Xiaolong haven't reached an in-depth discussion about the future development plan of the overseas branch. If you come forward to discuss it, it will also be convenient for them to get started quickly.
The group is growing too fast, and sometimes even I can’t cope with some things. It’s hard to keep this position!”
His words were very clear, and Gu Shijie understood them. If you want a reward, you have to pay. The group will not allow any faction to become too big, nor will it allow those who cannot keep up to continue to stay in high positions.
Just as the boss said, if everyone is staring at each other, where will the resources for progress come from if there is no competition?
There are also benefits to his coming forward to negotiate, as it can make the internal power of the company more balanced. For example, Zhou Shouyuan has his roots in Southeast Asia, so he was transferred to the United States to develop the market.
Lin Wenhui and Wu Yibin, who have worked in Temasek for a long time, are even less likely to be transferred back. Instead, it is Liu Zijie and Qin Lang, a pair of brothers who have taken advantage.
Wei Kejian, who was recommended by Liu Zijie, is now in charge of Southeast Asian affairs, and his deputy Xiao Chengdong serves as the president of micropayment. Now the financial business is developing too fast, attracting attention from all sides.
Liu Zijie's foundation could not withstand external pressure. The boss wanted him to intervene to stabilize the situation, so he laughed dryly and said, "Is this a test?"
"almost."
Li Zehua spread his hands, looking like he had him in his hands. The latter nodded helplessly, "Then I will take up the responsibility with reluctance."
After calculating the pros and cons in his mind, he felt quite benefited. After all, the boss valued him, so he kept putting pressure on him. Others who wanted to do so had no chance yet.
"Don't force it, and don't call the wolf back. This is also an opportunity. You should know who is behind HSBC. Take this opportunity to deal with the non-compete agreements that those people who left are carrying."
Li Zehua is very familiar with handling such incidents. "It is very difficult to completely block British and Hong Kong capital from entering the market, especially at the critical moment when the Minsheng Group is about to launch a tender offer to delist. We cannot allow any chaos to occur.
Before I came back, Li Yillong also advised me that even if we didn't consider each other because they had the same skin, we should fully respect their strength, as it is difficult for some people to accomplish anything together.
But if you are really determined to do something and ruin things, it is quite easy.
The company's layout in Southeast Asia is also at a critical time and we cannot afford to make mistakes. The domestic base must not be in chaos, do you understand?"
"I see."
After Gu Shijie finished saying this, he also reported on the recruitment of assistants and the management of part-time employees. The vacancy of the boss's assistant was a big deal for the company.
It cannot be overemphasized. He took the opportunity to recommend the company's first batch of management trainees, all of whom were fresh college graduates recruited in 09/10. Since 09 was not the graduation season, not many outstanding talents were recruited.
But after 10 years, the group's reputation has become very loud, especially in its headquarters in Shanghai, and many people have joined the group. These excellent and malleable talents then began to rotate in various positions.
“Even if they are seniors or graduate students, the longest time is less than a year and a half, which is still early. Different training methods should be adopted for different talents.
The chosen ones in the ivory tower have sufficient theoretical knowledge but insufficient practical ability. Only by experiencing more can they go further in the future.
On the contrary, outstanding grassroots talents who have gained true knowledge through practice can be appropriately arranged into middle-level positions through continuous training. Look at Liang Xiaolong, Liu Xiaobo, and Liu Gensheng, aren’t they doing very well?
As for the assistant position, we should try to promote people from the front line. As for the part-time employees you mentioned, did Xie Bin submit a special report before?"
Gu Shijie nodded. "I am preparing to report to you. Recently, many investors have come to me and made many suggestions. The most important one is to change the current employment model."
To put it simply, the people who invested in Qingyun can't sit still and want to get some benefits from this investment relationship. Li Zehua uses the industrial fund's shareholding to separate them from the right to interfere in the company's operations. What he is trying to prevent is people like Fang Guohui, who served as a director of Chimo and was responsible for the company's financing projects, and constantly transferred benefits to those behind him, just during the acquisition of the group buying website by Pinxixi.
Hundreds of millions of funds were unaccounted for. Of course, Fang Guohui eventually lost his life for this, and he also used his blood to add a new firewall for the company, which was one of the few good things he did.
As the saying goes: When you close a door, you open a window. No matter how strict and thorough the rules and regulations are, loopholes are bound to be found when people with ulterior motives keep exploring.
No, driven by profit, this group of people set their sights on the human resources agency business which is a sure win~
"What a good plan. The company now has more than 170 million part-time employees. Let them take all of it. Even if we deduct yuan from each person every month, it will be more than billion yuan.
Moreover, given their greed, and the fact that the company's salary packages are more than 1.5 times higher than those of its peers, after they take over, they will have to deduct more than half of the starting salary, and their commissions will also have to be reduced accordingly."
Li Zehua listened quietly, and finally couldn't help but sneered, "Do you remember what we promised when the group was established?"
"Never take the initiative to do evil. Of course, this is limited to domestic affairs. Those people abroad are not compatriots. I don't care whether they live or die."
Gu Shijie immediately followed up with a sentence, but he did not continue what he was thinking. Instead, he said with some hesitation: "Xie Bin is under a lot of pressure in Fengniao Crowdsourcing, especially the recent surge in demand for employees in the OEM business.
The crowdsourcing company set up more than 60 branches dedicated to recruiting in several provinces with major human resource exports, but it was still not enough. Not only was the number of personnel insufficient, but the retention rate was also poor.
Not everyone can work non-stop for twelve hours. Mr. Fu of Chaoxu and Mr. He of Rongwei complained that if this continued, the planned capacity increase would be delayed, and even the production of several branches in May would be affected.
The plan to poach skilled workers from electronics factories in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta has been implicitly warned by local government offices, asking companies to be more restrained to avoid causing more adverse effects.
In addition, your request to quickly expand QingCloud Software's talent pool has caused a lot of complaints from industry peers, with more than a hundred lawsuits filed, all of which have offended people."
Many things can't be accomplished smoothly just by having money or having enough competitive advantages. For example, Chaoxu Electronics Factory works in two or three shifts to rush production, as long as a person is willing to work hard.
Including the rewards for completing tasks, it is no problem to make 30 yuan a month, which is more than % higher than the average salary of peers. If they use normal competition methods, they have to increase wages to retain employees.
But for OEM companies, labor costs are the biggest expense. Under the premise that the general profit margin is less than 5%, increasing wages by 30% means huge losses.
Chaoxu, BYD Electronics has the financial support of its parent company Qingyun, and has developed enough smartphone users to fulfill its grand strategy, thereby increasing the revenue of related companies by occupying market share.
Raise corporate valuations and financing ceilings. In short, as a part of the industry's ecological chain, the OEM business can make a loss because other businesses can make back the profit ten or a hundred times.
Qingyun's high salaries in recruiting talents have offended a large number of people, and even its competitors have complained about it, believing that Qingyun has disrupted the normal labor market and increased their operating costs in disguise.
It's not so bad in the inland areas, as there are not many factories with thousands or tens of thousands of employees. The small businesses that were bankrupted by Qingyun don't have enough say, and the local government is begging Qingyun to go there to revitalize the economy.
But in the economically developed coastal areas, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of factories in operation. No matter how powerful Qingyun is, he will be punished if he offends the public.
The investor seized on this point and proposed to take over the job of the human resources agency. If it were an ordinary boss, he might really agree.
However, Li Zehua directly chose to refuse, "What a joke, how can we highlight the core competitiveness of the group if we have unequal pay for equal work?
Takeout, express delivery, online ride-hailing, logistics platform, OEM business, and even Pinduoduo's rural outlets business together account for more than 90% of the company's employees.
Their salary and benefits expenses are certainly a huge amount and also hinder the company's normal profitability, but investors are not blind to the fact that it is precisely because of their existence that the company's various businesses can develop smoothly.
Not to mention how much value their abilities create for the company, how many electric bikes and smartphones have been consumed by the employees themselves?
In addition, the home appliances, daily necessities and daily necessities purchased by every household through Pinxixi e-commerce generate at least 30 to 40 billion yuan in revenue for the company every year.
If we include their family members, relatives and friends who they can influence, this number may double.”
"An employee spends an average of 10,000 yuan a year through company channels, which is not much different from the statistical data. This includes consumption of BYD's electric vehicles, products from cooperative home appliance companies, and especially smartphones.
The active installation volume of the company's app also depends on the support of these people.
At the Yunyunbang meeting at the beginning of the year, it was also emphasized that truck drivers stimulated the company's business. The internal shipment volume of Honor alone reached more than 160 million units. Hehe, they all looked down on Roewe. "
Gu Shijie smiled happily, "With such a group of determined employees supporting us, the company has a solid foundation for whatever business it does. As long as the product quality is generally acceptable, we don't have to worry about sales at all."
"That's the right way to think. Behind high salaries are high returns. Even AutoNavi Maps has received 10 million yuan in internal business promotion fees in 3.9 years.
It is a navigation map with a coupon redemption link in the background. It does not have pop-ups and is not conspicuous. However, it has earned nearly 4 million in channel revenue. Isn’t this better than spending the money on advertising? "
Li Zehua said: "The biggest core advantage of mobile Internet lies in user stickiness. People cannot carry a computer with them to surf the Internet all the time, but they can complete information exchange and meet their spiritual needs through a mobile phone in one hand.
Whoever masters the retention rate of user stickiness time will have an absolute advantage in future competition. Why should I pay my employees high salaries?
First, they can create more value and increase the market share of the company's business. Second, it is due to their internal conversion consumption capabilities.
When it comes to employees’ economic contribution, who can compare with us?
What if someone wants to suck blood from the company now and makes a mess of it, causing employees to become alienated and even have a negative view of the company?
Also, don’t say this in front of Mr. Sun Tongyu. Pinxixi’s e-commerce sales exceeded 100 billion yuan last year, and employees and their families contributed at least half of it.
If you let him know your plan, he will definitely fight you to death."
Gu Shijie waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm not one of them, don't look for me."
He smiled bitterly and said, "But those people won't give up easily. After all, they are making tens of billions of dollars in profit every year. Besides, the group's revenue has nothing to do with them, so there is no way to reach an agreement."
The shares of Qingyun Investment Industrial Fund are in short supply. Only very few companies or investors can buy shares of the entire industry chain.
Most other people can only buy a certain fund and cannot benefit from the growth of other businesses of the group. Naturally, they cannot be completely in the same mind with the company.
Everyone understands the truth, but Li Zehua is not their parent, so it is impossible for him to consider everything. If they want him to feed them, those people are not qualified.
"Okay, if anyone has any objections, let them come to me. Also, make it clear to Xie Bin that it is impossible not to offend people when sitting in that position. Hummingbird Crowdsourcing will have to shoulder greater responsibilities in the next step."
Li Zehua expressed his thoughts, "In the current domestic economic situation, you can make money doing anything, even if you are delivering takeout food or screwing in a factory, the wages we offer are higher than those of our peers.
But in reality, it's not much better than working as a plasterer on a construction site, and not everyone can endure the hardship and join the company as a full-time employee.
So next, Hummingbird Crowdsourcing will open up part-time businesses in more cities, allowing other office workers to use their rest time to take orders and earn extra income.
For those who can persevere, isn't it better to find a way to recruit them rather than directly recruiting people from the market and training them?
It can also save a lot of trial and error costs and new employee training funds. "
Recruiting full-time employees is not as easy as imagined. Qingyun is different from other companies. The probation period for front-line workstations is not that long.
It usually takes ten days or half a month to officially start working, and the five insurances and one fund start to be paid in the second month. The extra costs are therefore much more expensive.
Li Zehua was about to continue speaking when Zhang Tao knocked on the door and said, "Boss, someone from Google is here."
"So fast?" (End of this chapter)
