Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

The next day, early.

Chi Feichi had breakfast at home and drove to Umbrella's headquarters in Tokyo. He attended a meeting in the conference room in the morning. At noon, he had lunch with Yan Jiansan and Oyama Ya in the office and briefly discussed the content of the morning meeting.

When the Zhenchi Group, Field Group, and Yan's Consortium were integrated into Umbrella, the three companies implemented the "smart office" strategy internally, allowing employees to enter the information of each company and department into the network and unify it into the internal office system of Umbrella Noah's Ark.

Such intelligence allowed Ark to share a lot of computing work and help the assets of the three companies to complete the integration as soon as possible. At the same time, Ark extracted a lot of useful data based on the information that had been entered into the internal office system, which could not only provide some work assistance to ordinary employees, but also allow managers at all levels to better understand the company's business situation.

A large amount of data was gathered at the Umbrella headquarters. After being calculated by Ark, it also deepened the headquarters' understanding of each department and its companies.

While smart office brings convenience, it also brings some problems.

With Noah's Ark, Umbrella doesn't have to worry about network security issues. As long as each company keeps system data in accordance with regulations, and there is no artificial leakage of company data, the data security of each company is actually guaranteed. However, the problem lies in "human".

After those who tried to steal secrets found that Umbrella's internal network system was difficult to break, they naturally would not give up. Some commercial spies turned their attention to employees within the company, especially those technicians and managers who had access to internal system information.

In order to prevent employees from leaking secrets, Umbrella headquarters has upgraded the management system with the help of Ark, strengthened restrictions on the access of personnel at all levels to internal information, increased the signing of some confidentiality agreements, and increased some people's on-the-job benefits, hoping to reduce the possibility of employees betraying the company.

However, the new management system is currently only used by Umbrella headquarters. Next, Umbrella will also recommend that its holding companies also make some reforms in the management system.

Today's meeting is to bring the presidents of various companies together to discuss the reform of the management system.

If someone wants to reform, Umbrella headquarters can ask Ark to help the company develop a corresponding plan. If they don't want to reform, the headquarters will not force them. As long as the company managers can manage the company well, make Umbrella headquarters profitable, and ensure the data security of the headquarters and allies, the headquarters does not mind whether the company has been reformed internally.

In addition, the theme of today's meeting also involves another issue about "people".

Umbrella headquarters and its subsidiaries can use Ark to perform accurate data calculations, resulting in the company no longer needing those who are in data calculation positions. If people are fired directly, it will not only appear that the company is not doing things right, but will also cause internal turmoil, making those whose jobs are not affected temporarily fear smart office and worry that they will be unemployed sooner or later, which is actually not good for long-term development.

As long as Umbrella and its subsidiaries can still operate normally, it is impossible to lay off employees.

But Umbrella and its subsidiaries cannot support these people for nothing and let them only get paid without doing anything. Therefore, after the integration of Umbrella is completed, the headquarters and its subsidiaries are adjusting the positions of these employees.

First, for those employees who have been employed for a short time, are convenient for job transfer and are willing to accept job transfer, the headquarters and subsidiaries will transfer them to other positions; secondly, for the remaining employees who are unwilling to transfer or have accumulated rich work experience, some will cooperate with Ark in their original positions to combine manpower with artificial intelligence to analyze and manage company data together, and the other part will form a new research department, no longer analyzing the company's internal data, but instead analyzing data for the external market and other companies; finally, if the subsidiaries cannot place all the people, some people with good abilities can be sent to the headquarters, and the headquarters will take over the placement of these people. After the headquarters gets the people, it will arrange them into the newly established business intelligence department, so that these employees will keep an eye on the external market and other companies every day to investigate and study the situation of other companies.

In short, today's meeting is to help the subsidiaries solve development problems: What if you want to reform the management system but don't have a good idea? Find the headquarters! What if there are some data analysts in the company who can't be placed? Find the headquarters!

The consortium invests in and controls hundreds of companies. While it usually earns profits from these companies, it also has to take on the responsibility of integrating resources and helping each company to replace internal resources. When necessary, it must help its subsidiaries to solve the problems encountered by its subsidiaries in the course of operation, so that its subsidiaries can develop better and give more benefits to the headquarters.

As the successor of the current president of Umbrella, Chi Feichi must attend meetings like today, which gather the presidents of the subsidiaries to help them solve problems. He must get familiar with the presidents of the companies and accumulate some qualifications for himself.

As long as Chi Feichi behaves properly in these meetings and does not look like a fool, when Chi Feichi takes over the resources of the Chi family and takes over the position of president in the future, the presidents of these companies can also maintain confidence in the future of Umbrella and the new president Chi Feichi, which can reduce the turmoil caused by the alternation of the old and the new.

"You performed very well in the meeting today. You responded quickly, expressed your intentions clearly, and your words were well-founded..."

During lunch, Yan Jiansan also talked about Chi Feichi's performance today, "And everyone can definitely see that you have done a lot of homework in advance and have a full understanding of the relevant information. In general, whether it is you There is nothing to fault about your work ability or your work attitude.”

Chi Feichi stretched out his chopsticks towards the food in front of him, "I have been paying attention to the reform of the management system and the placement of data analysts. After all, these two things are not trivial for Umbrella. Last night, I also focused on the meeting I have made some preparations for the questions that may be asked by others, so I am fairly well prepared.”

"Were you nervous beforehand?" Yan Jiansan asked.

"I can't say I'm nervous," Chi Feichi said honestly, "I just want to perform better."

Yan Jiansan had told him in advance that half of the leading work in the meeting would be handed over to him today.

He will naturally prepare in advance so that he can easily handle the meeting today and ensure that he will not embarrass himself in the meeting.

"Your performance today is indeed very good. I think if you are given more autonomy in internal affairs, you should be able to handle it. However, your time in contact with internal affairs is still short, and you still lack prestige in front of these presidents. If you are suddenly let go You may take over too many things, and everyone may have some doubts in private..." Yan Jiansan thought, "Let's take it slow, let it continue for a while, and let everyone get used to your participation in decision-making."

"Actually, I don't think there's any need to worry," Chi Feichi expressed his thoughts. "When I'm familiar with the content of each job, I will gradually take over the management of internal affairs. This way I can feel more relaxed, and I won't be in trouble in the future. I was confused because I was unfamiliar with the matter.”

"Indeed," Yan Jiansan took two bites of the food in front of him, then laughed again, "By the way, you still don't seem to like being polite. When someone said polite words to you today, you interrupted and diverted them more than once. The topic..."

"I don't object to everyone being polite and flattering each other. Appropriate politeness can express each other's goodwill, which is of course no problem, but they said too many complimentary words today, which is a bit more than I can bear," Chi Feichi said in a tone Calmly said, "In these aspects, let them accommodate me."

"Counsellor, by the way, the presidents who originally belonged to the Shinoike Group probably didn't say too many polite words today, right?" Oyamaya, who was sitting next to eat, couldn't help laughing, "After all, Mr. Shinosuke doesn't like it either. A group of people sit together and compliment each other, but they can’t say anything serious for a long time. In fact, even I am not used to being polite and complimenting for too long..."

"Since the current president and the president's successor do not like the overly polite meeting atmosphere, those presidents will definitely make changes in the future," Yan Jiansan said with some emotion, "In fact, saying too many polite words is very tiring. It’s better to be less polite and flattering, so that everyone can feel more relaxed.”
