Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 605 Establishing Prestige

The people from the business department went there, and the executives of the subsidiaries met with them, and then they used various reasons to avoid discussing the actual content, and even refused to meet behind closed doors. It was probably the attitude of these subsidiaries towards the business department.

In fact, from the perspective of these subsidiaries, the general managers of these business units, even people like Zou Yi and Zheng Sijing, are nothing. No matter how high their level is, they are just wage earners. Let's add the attributive term "senior wage earner".

The chairman and general manager of these subsidiaries are different. Many of them are entrepreneurs themselves, own shares, and some have quite a lot. They are serious shareholders, and they can still be intimidated by professional managers!

If Li Weidong comes, he must accompany him all the way and entertain him warmly. What Li Weidong says will come naturally. None of them dare to refute. He is a major shareholder and has prestige. No one dares to go against his wishes, and there will be no good fruits.

.

However, although the heads of these business units are said to represent Xinsheng Holdings and Li Weidong, after all, there is a layer of separation between them. Business is official, so it is etiquette to be polite. If you want more respect, just wait!

Moreover, time is still short, and the advantages of these people's "strong capabilities" and "deep industry background" have not yet been reflected. How is it possible to expect them to obey?

The imperial power in feudal society was above all else, and it was even higher than Li Weidong's position in the company. However, the emperor appointed imperial envoys and was still constrained when he went to inspect local areas, not to mention the heads of these business departments appointed by Li Weidong.

"Mr. Zhang, are you saying that someone is engaging in localism and cliques?" Xu Dehai also frowned and asked. Strictly speaking, this has violated the company's articles of association and employee code of conduct.

Although Xu Dehai also knew in his heart that the leaders of these subsidiaries were unruly, in fact Xu Dehai had experienced it a long time ago, so he naturally had a deep understanding of it.

After years of hard work, familiarity with each other, and understanding of each other's bottom lines, a certain balance was finally reached.

In fact, in Xu Dehai's heart, he also wanted to see how these newly appointed business department heads could burn these three fires and how they could gain a firm foothold and achieve Li Weidong's strategic goals.

And based on Xu Dehai's understanding of Li Weidong, this is what Li Weidong wants to see. There are no problems with the background and connections of these people, but their leadership abilities have yet to be determined. In the end, those without abilities will definitely be eliminated.

But after all, this is an important part of the reform, and the start cannot be defeated, so Li Weidong has to help these people get on the horse and send them off for another ride, and there must be a good start.

Let these newly appointed subordinates have the ability to fight for a round, but for the sake of fairness, or to maintain Li Weidong's status as a referee, as the chairman of the company, he cannot end the fight personally.

Now the first round has begun, but the result does not seem to be satisfactory. The subsidiary has already taken action, non-violence and non-cooperation. Now it is the turn of these newcomers to take action.

Now Zhang Weimin has begun to fire, accusing these people of not abiding by the rules, engaging in localism, engaging in petty tricks, secretly not cooperating with the group company's work, and disobeying the group company's leadership.

As the company's supervisory department, the board of supervisors has the power to supervise the company's abnormal behavior. What's more, now that Zhang Weimin raised this issue in front of so many people at the office meeting, Xu Dehai must ask it.

Not asking is a failure to perform the duties of the board of supervisors. It is a dereliction of duty on his part as the chairman of the board of supervisors, and it also violates employee norms.

However, Zhang Weimin suddenly acted innocent and said with an apologetic expression: "I'm afraid you misunderstood, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. I just repeated the content of the chairman's speech, and I didn't say anyone was like this!"

There was a trace of anger on Xu Dehai's face, but it quickly disappeared. This Zhang Weimin seemed to be very difficult to deal with. This shot was just a feint, and he probably had other tricks.

Let’s recite Li Weidong’s speech first, so that everyone can have preconceived notions, let everyone have this impression in their hearts, and arouse everyone’s resonance.

Zhang Weimin nodded to Xu Dehai, as if to express his apology, and then continued: "Speaking of the chairman's speech, I will say a few more words. Since joining the company, I have looked through the company's historical information, especially the chairman's various remarks.

Speech content for the occasion!”

"The more I read, the more excited I become. I especially regret not getting to know the chairman earlier. I also envy you all for being able to work with the chairman so early. This is a precious wealth, not only material but also spiritual.

You will die if you hear the truth!"

Zhang Dongshuo, who was sitting next to him, looked at Zhang Weimin with strange eyes. This man had such a thick face. It was not easy for him to say such disgusting things.

Both Li Weidong and Zhang Dongshuo understand Li Weidong's speeches. Although many of his words may be unexpected, the simple words are always fresh and refreshing, but they are somewhat exaggerated.

"To be honest, I don't have any other skills. I have a pretty good memory, so I can memorize many of the chairman's speeches. I remember a few of them!"

"To run an enterprise, we must adhere to the development strategy of the "principle of pressure", focus on one point, and achieve this point to the extreme. We must concentrate our strategic forces on the main channel and the main battlefield, and do not easily get involved in other fields.

We must focus on a core technology and a core product and develop it into the fist of the company. If we hit it with one punch, we must be invincible!"

…………

“We need to make a hole, and our strength must come out of a hole to be powerful. We must strengthen investment in the main channel, improve the capabilities of the main channel, widen the gap with competitors on the main channel, and have strategic concentration.

"

Zhang Weimin's long recitation made Zhang Dongshuo, who was sitting next to him, look even more strange. Of course, there was also some admiration in his eyes. He was really a talent.

Zhang Weimin had a smile on his face and said with light in his eyes: "These are excerpts from the chairman's speech. There are many such speeches, especially the "main channel" and "main battlefield" mentioned by the chairman. I have counted them.

I told you at least a dozen times at once!”

At this time, Zou Yi glanced at Zhang Weimin, seeming to have guessed his purpose, and then glanced at Xu Dehai opposite. Coincidentally, Xu Dehai also glanced at her.

The two nodded tacitly. They had communicated in this regard a long time ago, and they also knew that there would be a tough battle between the company, its division and its subsidiaries.

If it is a war, it must be fought, but someone must take the lead, and now the leader is here.

"I remember that when I joined the company, I had the honor to communicate with the chairman for a long time. The chairman told me a lot. I am engaged in medicine and I don't understand other things. The chairman was very considerate. We mainly talked about medicine at that time.

Aspects!"

"I remember talking about a blood pressure stabilizing drug at that time. A bottle of imported medicine produced by Pfizer costs more than 500 yuan, while the same kind of domestically produced medicine only costs more than 30 yuan. The price difference is 15 times. There is no way. The effect is good. One tablet

It lasts a day and is still stable!”

"The chairman was very sad and regretful. At that time, he proposed that Dongxing Pharmaceutical and other invested pharmaceutical companies increase their investment in research and development, and strive to be China's Pfizer, improve the efficacy and lower the price!"

"My blood boiled when I heard it, and I made a promise at that time to make all the pharmaceutical R&D companies in the company take this sentence as their goal and corporate mission!"

"We must focus the company's development strategy on the main channel and battlefield of pharmaceutical research and development, and do not engage in other businesses, especially businesses that have nothing to do with the main business!"

Zhang Weimin looked at the people in the office. After saying these few words, everyone in the office focused their attention on him.

At this time, even the most obtuse person would understand what Zhang Weimin meant.

Zhang Weimin seemed to think that what he said was not clear enough, and added, "The chairman once said that when the company engages in groupization and establishes a group company, the group must have a main line around which upstream and downstream businesses can be developed, but it cannot be large-scale.

Erza can do everything!”

Li Weidong's words somewhat mean that "only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps." The head office has all kinds of enterprises, but it does not allow subsidiaries to form cross-border group companies.

However, both China Xinsheng Group and Ruibos Holdings are investment groups. In fact, they have no entities and no main business. In other words, the main business is investment.

Zhang Weimin seemed to feel that the time was almost up, so he picked up the notebook on the table and revealed a stack of documents underneath. The documents had already been ordered and divided into several parts.

Zhang Weimin distributed the document to everyone present and said: "Supervisor Chairman Xu, Mr. Zou, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xia, Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Tian. This is the report of our business department on this investigation at Dongxing Pharmaceutical!"

"There is also a demonstration and suggestion on Dongxing Pharmaceutical Group's divestiture of Dongxing Real Estate and other non-main businesses. Please review it by the manager!"

Sure enough, Zhang Weimin's knife cut it down, and it was quite ruthless.

When Dongxing Pharmaceutical wanted to develop its real estate business, it raised the issue several times intentionally or unintentionally. The application was left in Li Weidong's hands for several months before it was finally approved before last year's year-end meeting.

At that time, Zheng Sijing personally handed the application form to Gao Fuxing. Now it only takes more than half a year to complete the application. It is estimated that the company has not yet gathered the manpower!

This is establishing authority!

The company stipulates that the business department provides business guidance to the company, corrects deviations, makes reasonable suggestions based on the company's business conditions, and submits them to the group company for approval!

Now what Zhang Weimin mentioned is reasonable and well-founded, and the key is supported by Li Weidong's original words. No matter who it is, it must be treated with caution.

Zou Yi glanced at Zhang Weimin, not knowing what this look meant. Then he skipped the research report and began to read Zhang Weimin's so-called suggestions at the back.

The content is not complicated, and is similar to what he said. It uses Li Weidong's words as theoretical support, and then compares the financial data of Dongxing Pharmaceutical in the last six months with last year's.

Analyzed the decrease in the proportion and actual investment in pharmaceutical research and development due to investment in real estate business, as well as the resulting changes in the company's balance sheet.

In just a few pages, the work is very beautiful, the data is detailed, and the contrast is very obvious. I can only say that the person who wrote this copy has some psychological skills.

There are suggestions for dealing with this matter later. The divested Dongxing Real Estate business can be established as a separate company, and the group company will invest in acquiring this newly established company from Dongxing Pharmaceutical, which is very simple in terms of finance, assets and personnel.

The financial statements of Dongxing Real Estate were even attached to the back of the plan. The assets of the entire company were indeed small. After all, it had only been established for half a year and had only acquired three pieces of land. The amount of projects started was not large.

Zou Yi put down the document and asked calmly: "Mr. Zhang, who else knows about this plan besides you? Have you disclosed it to Dongxing Medical?"

Know yourself and know the enemy and you will win every battle. Zou Yi didn't believe that Zhang Weimin came up with such a plan in a daze. Otherwise, this way of establishing authority would be too drastic and inconsistent with the company's cultural orientation of unity.

"No, this is the conclusion we reached from our recent research at Dongxing Pharmaceutical. This suggestion is also the result of discussions by our business department. Of course, this suggestion is not only for Dongxing Pharmaceutical, but also includes all the companies under the company that are mainly engaged in medicine and emerging industries.

business company!”

In fact, Zhang Weimin did not tell the truth. During the research, he had this idea and even had a brief exchange with Fan Zhi, who was in charge of the real estate business.

Dongxing Real Estate now belongs to dual leadership. It is controlled by the direct shareholder Dongxing Group and is also guided by the real estate division in terms of business.

Under this situation, Zhang Weimin also tested Fan Zhi, the general manager of Dongxing Real Estate, to a certain extent. Although the conversation between the two was very cryptic, he was quite satisfied with the result.

If this matter can be successful, Zhang Weimin will definitely be able to work with ease in the future, and it will also allow Dongxing Pharmaceutical to return to the track of pharmaceutical research and development.

In Zhang Weimin's view, engaging in real estate is about capital chain, gambling, betting on domestic economic development, betting on domestic urbanization process, purely for profit.

Medicine is based on research, is the application of science, and is the application of brain power. The purpose is to develop drugs to treat diseases, to solve frightening diseases, and to strive for the health of all mankind.

The two are at odds!

Pfizer was able to become one of the Fortune Global 500 just by relying on its pharmaceutical business, which shows that it is enough to become bigger and stronger in one industry, and there is no need to do everything.

It seemed that they were influenced by Zhang Weimin, maybe this was what they had discussed, and at this time several business department heads came out with recent research reports.

Even Zhang Dongshuo hesitantly took out a document. It seemed that the only one who could calm the situation was Xia Guoqiang, the veteran vice president.

Zou Yi and Xu Dehai looked at each other again, and then both looked down at the documents as if nothing had happened, but there seemed to be an indescribable light flashing in each other's eyes.

The research report is something that needs to be explained at the regular meeting. Some people just said roughly that overall, the research results this month were not very successful.

However, according to the survey, each business unit also made suggestions. Some, like Zhang Weimin, suggested directly cutting off a certain part of the business, some suggested adding directors, and some even proposed replacing certain senior executives.

In short, this is the first time that the business department has shown its edge, and it seems that they are all aiming to establish their prestige.

After a while, Zou Yi raised his head and nodded to the vice presidents, and then said: "Your research report is very detailed. I recommend that I read it, but I need to discuss it with the vice presidents and report to the chairman!
