My 1979

What makes Li He unhappy is that Guo Dongyun invited outsiders. McKinsey, the world's largest consulting company, was invited by her. The so-called managers include Chinese and foreigners. They all look like young men in their thirties, but their age is unknown. Gotta be bigger than him.

If they were really capable, why not start their own company and become a Fortune 500 company overnight? A bad report can be sold for millions of dollars. Isn’t this deceptive?

When it comes to strategy, if you say it wrong, will customers come to you ten years later?

To put it bluntly, a cruel fact is that a person with an annual salary of 100,000 should guide other companies whether to give the second boss an annual salary of 1 million or 10 million.

One of them brazenly told Li He that they have extensive capabilities, expertise and experience in all major industries and provide a full range of management consulting services, including strategy, organization, operations, business technology solutions, enterprise Service transformation and senior executive search services.

It seems that with their joining, Dida Group can become the most powerful company in the world.

Unless there is a considerable amount of facts to support it, it will be difficult for Li He to trust them. It's the same idea as a junior manager giving advice to his or her boss.

Li He thought about it, but was still not in a hurry to deny it. He knew that many concepts were deeply ingrained in his mind, and many of these concepts were prejudices. He decided to open up his mind and accept more diversified information.

To reach such a high position today, he has a lot of experience, but he does not seem to be as confident as he pretends to be. In the eyes of others, he is full of ambition and confidence.

The truth is, he lacks confidence in many areas.

He listened to the conversations of these experts, maintaining an expressionless face as always. He never gave them any hint as to whether what they said was good or not. Sometimes, he seems unattainable. He showed no bias or preference.

Anyway, he pretended to be quite tired.

But Guo Dongyun, who was sitting next to her, didn't think so. She whispered to Li He, "If we don't reach a consensus internally, we need external knowledge, experience and opinions to confirm and help most people unify their thoughts. This is The biggest reason why I invited McKinsey to come. In any case, their way of thinking is very correct. We don’t need them to solve the problem, but we need them to find us the problem. In the past three months, their team has given us a lot Useful help.”

"I'll take a look at the report later." Li He nodded in approval.

The meeting continued, and people from McKinsey were talking.

"The core businesses include banking and finance, retail, electronics, exhibitions, real estate, hotels, machinery, medicine, clothing and textiles, furniture, audio and video, automobiles, etc. The diversified businesses have a good industrial foundation and market competitive advantages, including retail, clothing and textile, Finance, machinery, real estate, and audio and video have established industry leading positions in China. However, only the clothing and textile industry has a leading position internationally. And we have to remind that your company's audio and video industry is on the edge of the law. For your company We are cautious about the automobile industry chain, because we must know that the international automobile industry is in a very fierce competition, and BMW does not have complete market competitiveness."

This time is a summary of Li He's industry. He already has many advantages. If Dida Group, Golden Deer Group, Yuanda Group, and other messy industries are integrated, they will become a super-large trust with total assets of 90 billion U.S. dollars, annual profits of 1.6 billion U.S. dollars, and 130,000 employees.

Its balance sheet is superb, and its products and services penetrate every aspect of the gross national product: everything from leather shoes to cars.

Li He himself didn't know many of the industries, such as how he had a paper company, a decoration company, and even a lighter factory, an additive factory, a poker factory, and a breeding farm.

"How come there are 130,000 employees?" This is Li He's biggest puzzle. Are all the workers of his real estate company included? But there is not 130,000! He asked very quietly, which was embarrassing for others to hear.

Guo Dongyun said with a smile, "These are just employees in holding industries. Have you forgotten the joint venture factory we invested in? A Yangzhou Machinery Factory alone is a large factory with ten thousand people. If we include the investment industries in which we do not hold holdings, the employees There will be more.”

Many people present couldn't help but whisper. As McKinsey's people sorted out the details in more detail, the people present looked at Li He more and more differently.

What a giant enterprise this will be!

And the person who controls this giant is just 30 years old!

If it weren't for the confidentiality agreement, they would have gone out and shouted that a new richest man in the world was born!

In particular, people at McKinsey refused to believe that the project they accepted would be the largest company in the world, and it was born in China!

This is simply an international joke!

Even though these information were compiled by them themselves!

Putting aside everything else, when they saw the stock custody certificates hosted by Fortune 500 companies such as Goldman Sachs, Rheinland Dell, IBM, and Apple, their hearts immediately collapsed. They must admit this fact!

Of course, this is a large, but not even strong, conglomerate. There are all kinds of messy companies. They believe that the man in front of them must be an investment maniac. No matter whether the company is good or bad, everything in the basket will be picked up. .

What's even more unbelievable to them is that the human resources structure of this consortium is also quite sloppy. Many of the top executives are actually from elementary school education or junior high school education!

God knows how broken they are!

Finally, they mentioned the shortcomings of this hodgepodge of companies. This time it was the turn of a tall blond girl to state, "Like a common problem in many companies, whether it is Golden Deer Group or Yuanda Group, there are too many management levels. This is a sloppy and huge bureaucracy. In this hierarchical system, there are 13 levels between the production engineering and the chairman's office. There are more than 130 managers in Deer Group alone, including vice presidents or vice presidents. The above titles.”

"My fault." Li He murmured to himself. He once asked Yu Dehua to run the business without having to do everything personally and to hire professionals to do the business. But he didn't expect that Yu Dehua would hire so many managers, and they would all be piled together.

When he heard that Deer Group had 76 business departments, he even sighed. But it is understandable. After all, Jinlu started its business by exporting. It has everything from textiles, shoes and hats to enamel jars and daily necessities. It is basically a category of products and a department.

Next, he heard the analysis of Yuanda Group. Yuanda Group actually introduced more than 70 internal corporate systems in one year! These are all systems designed to prevent and plug loopholes in the system.

Li He finally felt that there was something wrong with the company's system.

Maybe this is the law of history. When analyzing Chinese history, Mr. Qian Mu pointed out that the tradition of China's political system is that when a system goes wrong, a system is established to prevent it. As time goes by, it becomes more and more dense day by day. As a result, some have become more ill than others. The accumulation of increasingly dense systems often leads to inconsistencies. In this way, the more complex the system, the easier it is for ambiguity to arise, the easier it is for loopholes to occur, and the easier it is for it to lose efficiency.
