Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 492 Diagnosis

"Cure the disease, me?" After hearing Li Weidong's words, Zheng Sijing pointed to his nose with some confusion, then shook his head vigorously and said.

He had just been scolded by his boss, and he knew that this was Li Weidong's way of expressing a small punishment but a big warning. After the scolding was over, at least this time the matter was over, and the boss would not continue to pursue it.

His goal has been achieved, but Li Weidong now means that although he will not pursue this matter, he will use this matter as an opportunity to pursue the entire company.

This is different from his purpose. What Zheng Sijing needs most now is stability. Only by building a stable foundation can he take his career to a higher level, and not be overtaken by Fu Xiaomin, who has just arrived, let alone do such a thankless job.

matter.

"Yes, it's you!" Li Weidong took a sip of tea and continued, "We have known each other for a long time. I can't say that I fully understand you, but I also know that you have a calm personality, a calm mood, and a serious and responsible work. I can trust you.

!”

"Chairman, this is what you should do!" Zheng Sijing quickly stood up and said, he had never seen Li Weidong praise his subordinates like this before, and he got goosebumps when he heard it.

"Sit down and listen to what I have to say. As I said just now, I have thought about this for a long time. Originally, I wanted to wait until the business unit is established, and the company and the business department will jointly be the chief surgeon to perform operations on the company!"

"It's just that now it seems that my idea is a bit too ideal. I don't say when these business units will be established. Even if they are established, if they are established while ill, the consequences will be even worse!"

"Chairman, according to my understanding, the company's profits and profit margins have been increasing year by year in the past few years. This shows that our financial situation is very good and the company's development should be very healthy!" Zheng Sijing said softly.

"What you see is the whole, not the details. The company's profit margin has been increasing year by year in the past few years, and the profit is also very gratifying. Thank you for your efforts, which have made a lot of money for the company!"

When Zheng Sijing heard Li Weidong's praise, he stood up again to express his gratitude, but was stopped by Li Weidong with a wave of his hand. If he kept standing up and sitting down like this, he would not be able to continue the conversation.

"This is the overall picture, but we must also see some problems. We cannot let some fast-growing companies cover up those companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy. Moreover, the company has accumulated many problems over the years. It is time for surgery!"

"Some companies have bloated structures, overstaffed, low efficiency, chaotic investment, and out-of-control management. These things happen almost every day!" Li Weidong said with a sigh. It is tiring to manage a large company, and it is even more tiring to manage it well.

Zheng Sijing's forehead is sweating, his investment is chaotic, and his management is out of control. Is he talking about Peking Capital? Is it criticism without naming names?

"I have seen the organizational structure chart of a company. There are nine levels from the boss to the employees below. A department that is not very good at first only has two people, and they can still separate big and small kings. Isn't this nonsense!

"

"This does not include the parent companies at all levels above. If Xinsheng Holdings has any ideas, down to the final executive, more than ten levels have passed. To what extent will the information be distorted? Is it still the original intention?"

"So first, my request is to lower the management level of the company to no more than four levels. That is to say, from the chairman to the lowest employee, there can only be two people at most in between!"

"And now that there are more and more computers and networks, we need to pay attention to methods in future work. We can't just write everything down in a notebook and then pass it on to other people. This will easily lead to problems and waste time!"

Zheng Sijing glanced at his notebook in embarrassment. Should he record it or not? Why does his boss always target him like this?

"There is also the need to lower the legal person level of subsidiaries and parent companies. Starting from Xinsheng Holdings and Ruibos, it should not exceed five levels at most. Those shell companies that should be canceled must be cancelled. We are a legal company and do not need so many

If something goes wrong with the protective case, these cases will be useless!"

"Especially some companies, they are playing tricks, trying every means to avoid taxes, and setting up companies one after another, such as limited partnerships and sole proprietorships. I know that many shareholders of our company do this, but after all, these are trivial and will not lead to anything.

!”

"The other thing is the issue of elimination. Don't worry too much about some lagging companies. If they are liquidated and eliminated early, it will not be a bad thing for us or the company's employees!"

"You may not die if you put yourself to death, but you may die if you endure it slowly. Besides, how many years can we survive? As long as we are not in the start-up period of some emerging industries, those who have suffered losses for three consecutive years will consider filing for bankruptcy or exiting in five years.

There’s no need to wait, you can exit directly!”

"If we don't exit, there will be a lot of zombie companies. Who will support these companies? After all, we are a company. Although we have to bear some social responsibilities, the company must make profits, otherwise how can we survive!"

"Also, last year I said that I support the establishment of group companies by various subsidiaries. My original intention is to enable them to connect upstream and downstream, so that they can be comfortable in a certain industry without any constraints!"

"But some of the documents I have seen in the past few days are not very good. I have written opinions on these documents and do not agree with them. Even some filing documents have to be sent back!" Li Weidong said, pointing to a pile of documents on the table next to him.

"It's not a specialized investment company. It's a pharmaceutical R&D company that doesn't want to acquire upstream raw material companies or downstream pharmaceutical manufacturing companies. Even if it acquires a hospital, I applaud it!"

"It's okay for you to engage in real estate. After all, the real estate market is full of people with a lot of money. They all want a piece of the pie, and it's easy to sell out. I'll admit it by pinching my nose, but what about your acquisition of a steel company?"

"You go back and tell him when he can do a good job in the pharmaceutical research and development industry. He can do whatever he wants. If he doesn't want to work here anymore, he can find another job!"

This person Zheng Sijing knows very well that Jingwei Investment is one of his shareholders. Dongxing Pharmaceutical is now developing very well. Some of Gao Fuxing's ideas are normal, but now that Li Weidong has expressed his stance, things are different.

"Yes, I will definitely tell him!" Zheng Sijing knew Li Weidong's attitude. Enterprises can become bigger, but they must do it within their own framework. Diversification is also possible. They must do a good job in the current industry. In short, it is professionalism.

"There is another more important issue. In the past, in order to attract talents, we set wage standards that were much higher than social wages. The wages of some veteran employees have even exceeded local wages several times!"

"What I mean by this is not to lower wages. On the contrary, we must continue to maintain a high wage plan and become a benchmark in the industry. But they have become accustomed to this high wage status and think it is deserved.

Some even think that the company’s success today is entirely due to his personal contribution!”

"With that little credit, I can now rest on my laurels and sleep, and I don't want to learn new things. Now that I have a computer, I can only play cards. It's very difficult for them to work with the computer!"

"This kind of behavior has given young people a very bad idea, resulting in overstaffing and low efficiency in the company. Our domestic environment does not allow for salary reductions, and such people can only be allowed to go back to where they came from!"

Although Li Weidong doesn't want to attack these old comrades, he is engaged in business, a private enterprise, not a place for retirement, let alone a place for big names, and this kind of rat shit can make a mess.

"Another point is that I am not an old-fashioned person, nor am I Hai Rui. I also know that the world is not black and white. When we engage in business, I also understand the truth that if the water is clear, there will be no fish!"

"But they don't take large sums of money, but they do accept red envelopes. Although there is no violation of the law, in the process, their personal qualities are slowly compromised. Over time, can they still be trustworthy?"

"I will receive one or two boxes of tea today and two cigarettes tomorrow. Can't they afford these things? I think the salary I give them is not enough to allow them to live such a life!"

"This kind of thing may be taken lightly in my heart, but in the final analysis, I still don't respect this job. Since others don't respect this job, why do you keep them shameless?"

"The other thing is to straighten out the company's affairs. Lao Xu is already doing this. He reported it to me two days ago. The results are there, but I am not very optimistic about whether we can achieve the expected goals!

"

"There are many people who want to be business unit managers. After all, this is a vice-president-level job, but I don't see many people who have this ability and dare to do things. After all, it is an offending thing!"

"If he doesn't dare to do something practical in this position and doesn't play his due role of guidance and supervision, then what do I want him to do? How can he supervise each company? How can he promote the modernization, standardization and institutionalization of the enterprise!"

Zheng Sijing looked up at Li Weidong. Li Weidong was leaning on the back of his chair and looking at the computer screen. His eyes were slightly squinted, looking a little melancholy, and there was a fierceness in his melancholy eyes.

Zheng Sijing had rarely seen this kind of look in Li Weidong's eyes, which made him a little frightened. It seemed that the boss was really determined to deal with the veterans and gangsters in the company.

Zheng Sijing's main job is still Jingwei Investment. Whether it is Ruibos Holdings or the newly appointed vice president of Xinsheng Holdings, he does not put much energy into it, so he has little understanding of the problem that each subsidiary cannot lose its tail.

In other words, Zheng Sijing is a hilltop in itself, and it is also a relatively big hilltop. After all, many companies have the name of Jingwei Investment in their shareholder lists, and their scale and assets are not small.

Now the company can suppress these subsidiaries only because of Li Weidong's prestige. This prestige is innate and comes with capital, but none of them have this prestige.

Zheng Sijing thought to himself that it would be better if he and Zou Yi, after all, they both have companies holding part-time jobs. At least the company they manage still has some influence, and Xia Guoqiang can do it too.

It would be difficult for Xu Dehai to have such prestige. He is also the weakest among their four vice presidents. It is estimated that it will be quite difficult for Xu Dehai to take the lead in handling this matter.

Who among the bosses of the various subsidiaries below would look down on professional managers like him, including him and Zou Yi? Anyone who knows knows that we all work part-time, so what qualifications do you have to take care of me?

There are also many people who own equity in the company. It would be nonsense to respect professional managers like them from the bottom of their hearts.

Even if a business unit is really established, without Li Weidong's strong support, it will probably be in vain. Even the bosses of these business units will turn a blind eye to these companies.

I don’t know how Xu Dehai reported to Li Weidong and what he reported. Since Li Weidong, who has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, has unoptimistic thoughts, this is very serious.

However, Zheng Sijing also murmured in his heart that the boss probably wanted to put him on the fire after telling him so much today, but he seemed to have no reason to refuse. After all, the boss's opening remarks had already praised you to the heavens.

If I refuse, it’s hard to say whether I can still work in the future. Is the boss an open-minded person who doesn’t hold grudges?

But if he is a doctor, can the people below him position themselves correctly and cooperate with his work?

In Zheng Sijing's mind, the faces of veterans such as Chen Gu, Guo Huai, Huo Rui, Song Guofeng, and even people like Li Shihui and Jiang Zhili came to mind. They were all full of irony.

It's probably too difficult to let these people do what he wants, so don't even think about it.

After pondering for a while, Zheng Sijing closed his notebook and said respectfully to Li Weidong: "Chairman, the main ideas you just talked about are probably these few things. Let me repeat them to see if there are any problems!"

Seeing Li Weidong nod, Zheng Sijing continued: "The first is to remove the levels, one within the company and the other at the legal person level;

The second is to eliminate backward production capacity and backward enterprises;

The third is that the company can become a group, but it must be professional;

The fourth is to solve the problem of overstaffing, understaffed and low efficiency;

Fifth, it is clear that violations of laws and disciplines will result in expulsion;

The sixth is to use this treatment to clear the obstacles for the establishment of business units, so that the business units can become an effective support for the company's development and form an effective supervision system. The final goal is to modernize, standardize and institutionalize the company!"

"I just said that you can do this job well, and your summary is very good, especially the last one!" Li Weidong nodded and said in approval.

Li Weidong knows that his personality is not suitable for managing such a large company. Everything must be standardized and systems must be in place!

Any business that is managed by people will eventually collapse due to human reasons. This is an inevitable humanistic law and will not be affected by human will. The most reliable thing is the system, which is constantly updated and improved.

"You deserve the award because you said it well. This is not a summary. I am just repeating your original words!" Zheng Sijing said with a smile, and then said, "Chairman, this matter is too involved. Do you think you can

President Zou can’t be in charge, and I can help from the side?”

They are both vice presidents, so why can Zou Yi be so carefree and get a higher salary and bonus than him? Although you can get some power by roasting on the fire, the feeling of being roasted on the fire is not pleasant.

He turned into a barbecue before his eyes, but left Zou Yi with cold cucumbers to cool off. This would definitely not work. Of course, it would not be impossible if Zou Yi was really the master and he was the assistant.

"No, you and Lao Xu are responsible for this matter. You are the main one and he is the secondary one. Don't worry, Lao Xu will only make up for it, not tear it down!"

Li Weidong paused and continued: "You should concentrate on this matter during this period. Let your deputies watch over Jingwei Investment!"

When Zheng Sijing heard this, he knew that this was inevitable and he had to do this. If he let his boss continue to say it, he would lose his foundation in the company.
