Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 521 Price War

Being a secretary for Li Weidong does not require strong professional ability, and it is relatively easier than other secretaries to the president.

It is basically enough to have basic professional skills and communication skills, and then to understand English. The most important thing is to be strict with your mouth and be able to keep secrets.

Li Weidong has too many secrets. If the wealth he holds is made public, it will definitely be a global sensation. However, the number of people in the company who have access to these core secrets will not exceed double digits.

Secretary is one of them, so Li Weidong must be careful when choosing a secretary. The most important thing is honesty, and Chen Jun happens to have this advantage.

"Yes, I will hand over to him as soon as possible!" Zhang Dongshuo said with a smile, but he felt a little disappointed and missed the days of following Li Weidong.

I will no longer be a secretary. Even if I am promoted half a level, I will be far away from Li Weidong. At least I will not be able to report to Li Weidong at any time without notification.

"Well, take your time!" Li Weidong nodded and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Dongshuo understood. Although many times, taking your time will ruin many things, you really can't rush this handover. Li Weidong still has reservations about Chen Jun.

To take your time, Zhang Dongshuo needs to master it himself!

Seeing that Li Weidong had nothing to give, Zhang Dongshuo said, "I will notify Mr. Xia to come over right now!"

Li Weidong said nothing and looked at a stack of financial statements on the table. This was the work he had accumulated recently.

Although these things are not important, and he is the boss of the company, it does not mean that he knows nothing about the company. He also needs to understand what the company does.

The prerequisite for being a business owner is to have a strong ability to control the company, so that you can focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones, and manage everything from top to bottom.

If you don’t know anything about the company, how can you know where the main contradiction and the main aspect of the contradiction are?

The work reports of directors, senior management, and supervisors and the company's financial statements are the main ways for Li Weidong to understand these companies. The work reports are the company's own reports and are subjective representations.

The financial statements are monthly, quarterly, and annual and are signed by the company's financial director. The quarterly and annual reports are audited by the accounting firm, which is objective evidence to a certain extent.

With both subjective and objective performance, it can basically reflect the basic situation of a company. The work report is very colorful. If the financial statements are rubbish, such a company should focus on it.

Whether the method is good or not mainly depends on whether it is suitable. Li Weidong has quite a lot of experience in this management method, but recently there are more and more companies above the designated size, and he is also having some difficulty.

Li Weidong has a lazy temperament, and he will never work for one more minute if he can be idle for a moment, so let alone doing such strenuous work, this is simply incomparable with his previous life.

In his previous life, when he was at this age, Li Weidong's business had just started to pick up, and he no longer needed to go to the factory to operate the machine tools himself, but he couldn't stay idle and would often do it a few times.

In this life, I talk a lot and rarely do it myself. Over time, I seem to have really lost the ability to do things, and I have become accustomed to giving orders.

When you are struggling, you have to find a way. Li Weidong has a good mind and can always think of ways to liberate himself, so the business department system is put on the agenda and professional people are found to do it, and he only needs to tell these professional people his ideas.

Just people.

Li Weidong flipped through the documents and took a few glances. They were all work reports. Each page was full of useful information. This was from last month, because Li Weidong held a meeting for half a month and never reviewed it.

Li Weidong patted the document, raised his head and asked, "Where's Lao Xu, how are things going in the business department?"

Zhang Dongshuo glanced at Li Weidong and said: "The preliminary research work has been completed, and several international consulting companies have been hired. We were having meetings when I came here!"

A trace of helplessness flashed across Li Weidong's face, and he said hesitantly: "Speed ​​up, time waits for no one!"

Zhang Dongshuo doesn't understand why time waits for no one. Small things like changing a secretary should be done slowly. Why should the company speed up its system reform? This is unusual!

Zhang Dongshuo is the office director, who is responsible for uploading and distributing information and conveying Li Weidong's meaning to various departments. Now that he doesn't understand the meaning, how should he convey it? He can only convey it in his exact words!

"Yes, then I'm out!"

Li Weidong waved his hand, indicating that he could go out!

Zhang Dongshuo walked out of Li Weidong's office, then turned left and entered Chen Jun's duty room.

Chen Jun was packing things. When he saw Zhang Dongshuo coming in, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Director Zhang!"

"Well, let me make a call first!" Zhang Dongshuo responded, then took out his mobile phone and called Xia Guoqiang, telling him that the chairman was free now.

After putting down the phone, Zhang Dongshuo looked at Chen Jun packing things and said, "There's no need to pack it away. You will work here from now on!"

Chen Jun paused for a moment, and then his breathing intensified. If he couldn't hear something so obvious, he wouldn't be worthy of being Li Weidong's secretary for a month, let alone stay.

Chen Jun adjusted his breathing and said excitedly: "Thank you, Director Zhang, for your trust and recommendation!"

Zhang Dongshuo shook his head and said: "You don't need to thank me. If you can stay, it means that the chairman is satisfied with you. It has nothing to do with my recommendation!"

"I know the personality of the chairman. When he does something, he needs other people's opinions. When working next to the chairman, you must be careful, but the most important thing is to be strict with your mouth!"

Zhang Dongshuo said in a serious tone: "No matter what you see or hear, you can't reveal anything to the outside at any time, even if you are dreaming, you can't tell it, you know?"

He is Li Weidong's former secretary, and Chen Jun is the current secretary. As a senior, he can give some advice to future generations, which is also a role model.

"Yes, I will definitely keep it in mind!" Chen Jun said respectfully. In fact, these are the most basic things, but when Zhang Dongshuo specifically mentioned them today, the meaning was different.

"Okay, you go ahead. I'm leaving first. There are still a lot of things to do over there!" Zhang Dongshuo paused and said goodbye.

He is not Li Weidong's secretary now, but he is still the director of the office. He has the right to inquire about all major and minor matters in the company, and he also has to tell Xu Dehai what Li Weidong said just now.

If he completes the establishment of the business unit earlier, he will also be promoted and get a salary increase earlier. From his point of view, it is also beneficial to be faster.

It's just that this matter really can't happen quickly. It's been two months since the end of January, and it's just sorting out the companies, and then hiring consultants to do "physical examinations" for them.

These all take time. It is impossible to have a meeting, say something, and then send a red-headed document and then execute it.

The chairman and management of the company below need to be separated. Can the chairman who is shouldering the same responsibility have no objections?

When selecting a new general manager, you need to be cautious when it comes to human issues.

During the recent period, basically everyone in the Human Resources Department has been busy with this matter. It is easy to deal with the shortage of people, but it is particularly difficult to deal with the lack of senior talents.

In short, Li Weidong said it in one sentence, but the comrades in the various departments below may have to work for a long time, and they still don't know whether they can satisfy the leaders.

Chen Jun sent Zhang Dongshuo out of the yard, and until Zhang Dongshuo drove away, he clenched his fists in a victory gesture and almost shouted to the sky.

As for what the other supervisor who was supposed to hand over work to him thought, Chen Jun wanted to know, but now was obviously not the time, and it was not what he should be concerned about.

Zhang Dongshuo never made it clear that he was going to choose a secretary for Li Weidong, but this matter had long been spread in the company, and there was even a controversy about returnees and non-returnees some time ago.

Now it suddenly became clear that both those competitors who were on the same level as Chen Jun and the people in the company who were watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously should give up.

Chen Jun returned to the office, calmed down his excitement, picked up a document on the table, walked out of the office, knocked on the door of the main room, and walked in after receiving permission.

"Chairman, there is a document here that needs your signature!" After Chen Jun entered, he handed the document to Li Weidong and said.

Li Weidong took a look at the content and found that it was nothing serious. It was purely because he was the legal representative of the company and according to legal procedures, he had to sign the document.

This kind of work "wasted" Li Weidong a lot of time, but according to the provisions of the "Company Law", the legal representative of the company must be the chairman (executive director) or general manager.

Now the chairman and general manager of Xinsheng Holdings are shouldered by him, so he cannot avoid it no matter what, unless he finds another general manager to share the burden for him.

"Chairman, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard to repay your kindness!" Chen Jun said nervously as he watched Li Weidong finish signing.

When your boss promotes you, you must express your gratitude in person. Don’t be embarrassed, and don’t think that your boss knows your feelings even if you don’t say it.

Except for your subordinates who will try to figure out your thoughts, who else will care about what you think, especially the leader. He does not look at what you think, but what you say and do, listen to your words and observe your actions.

!

Of course, don’t say too much when you want to thank someone. If you say too much, it will seem too intrusive. It is enough to express your gratitude and then express your future work attitude.

There is no doubt what Chen Jun said, but it is also appropriate. The company does not allow cliques, and there should be no mention of loyalty and kindness, but it is different for Li Weidong.

Li Weidong is the only master of the company and the only gang leader.

Li Weidong glanced at him, and then said calmly: "Work hard!"

Chen Jun respectfully left the office and calmed down. His career is just around the corner. In the future, he may be able to be like Zhang Dongshuo and become the office director, or even the rumored general manager of a certain business unit.

Chen Jun let out a breath, straightened his back and walked towards his office. This time he felt that this was his office, even the spider web in the corner was so friendly.

Just as he was about to sit down, he saw someone coming from the second door through the window. It was Xia Guoqiang, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Xia, the chairman is waiting for you!" Chen Jun said.

"Xiao Chen, I'll go in then!" Xia Guoqiang said with a smile, but there was a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.

"Please!"

Xia Guoqiang knocked on the door, walked into Li Weidong's office, and said with a smile: "Chairman, you are so calm. Now the whole Internet is talking about you!"

"Whoever likes to talk, let him talk. I don't have a lot of meat!" Li Weidong stood up and said angrily, then walked to the sofa opposite the desk and sat down.

Xia Guoqiang still smiled and said: "If you were the boss, I would have been extremely anxious!"

Then he also sat on the sofa next to him. At this time, Chen Jun came in from the outside with tea, put it on the coffee table, poured a cup for Xia Guoqiang, then gave another cup to Li Weidong, and walked out.

"You have something to say!" Li Weidong said.

"I received a call from the heavy-duty vehicle restructuring working group early this morning, asking me to come and get the auction recommendation letter!" Xia Guoqiang took a sip of tea and said happily.

"According to the process set by the working group, in order to reflect fairness, justice and transparency, the car factory will be auctioned, and all companies that want to auction it must get a recommendation letter from the working group!"

"Need a deposit?"

"Yes, in order to screen out some people, this is the best way. Otherwise, if everyone wants to participate, it would be chaos!" Xia Guoqiang said truthfully.

"How much?" Li Weidong said with a frown.

"According to the conventional practice, based on 30% of the net assets in the previous year's financial report, a deposit or bank guarantee is paid. The net assets of the automobile factory in the previous year were 730 million!" Xia Guoqiang said with some helplessness.

"Why are there so many? Isn't it said that it is insolvent? How come there are so many net assets?" Li Weidong asked in surprise.

"Isn't that right? This is the financial statement they submitted last year. They are so brave, and I don't know how big the hole is in it. Do you think we really want to buy it?"

When the critical moment came, Xia Guoqiang hesitated. As long as they took over, they couldn't expect the government to fill the hole. In this case, they could get a lot of money to bring him back to life.

We have to deal with the debt collection from creditors and the livelihood of tens of thousands of workers who may be eliminated. Thinking about it, I feel that this kind of systematic project is too complicated, and it is much more difficult than when Qizhou Skoda was built.

"It's an old joke. At this juncture, do you want to give up?" Li Weidong said with squinted eyes. If he backed down at this time, Li Weidong would be humiliated.

"No, no, it's just that the budget is too big. It's definitely not enough to rely on the funds from the Qizhou Automobile Factory!" Xia Guoqiang shook his head quickly.

"There is no best thing about funding. You write the report and I sign it!" Li Weidong said calmly.

"Oh, this is easy to handle!" Xia Guoqiang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Li Weidong looked at Xia Guoqiang and saw his beaming smile. He thought he was acting with him!

"Is there anything else? Go work if you have nothing to do. The company will pay you several hundred an hour. Come drink tea with me!" Li Weidong said angrily.

"There is something really wrong. According to the news we have learned, Santana may have to cut prices. It is probably because it wants to start a price war with some of us!"
