Chapter 307 Rules
As an old employee who joined Xiangjiang Shenghua Company when it was first established, Zhang Jiaming had long heard of Song Yuanchao, the big boss behind the scenes, but he had never had the chance to meet him.
Zhang Jiaming knew very well that although Qin Zhengguo was the nominal chairman and general manager of Shenghua, in fact the largest shareholder of Shenghua was the extraordinary young man in front of him. Facing Song Yuanchao, Zhang Jiaming showed the good qualities of a professional manager, being polite yet enthusiastic, and his behavior was very appropriate.
"This guy is good." Song Yuanchao nodded slightly in his heart. Although he knew Zhang Jiaming, this was also the first time he met him. Looking at Zhang Jiaming's behavior and response, Song Yuanchao felt that Qin Zhengguo was still good at employing people.
"Please sit down." After shaking hands, Song Yuanchao pointed at the sofa and said with a smile.
Sitting down again, Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo sat side by side, and Zhang Jiaming sat on their left, assuming a listening attitude.
"How long have you been in Pengcheng? Are you used to life in Pengcheng? Where do you live now? How are your living arrangements?" After sitting down, Song Yuanchao first asked about Zhang Jiaming's arrangements after coming to Pengcheng, reflecting the boss's care for his subordinates.
Zhang Jiaming showed gratitude and answered Song Yuanchao's questions one by one.
Song Yuanchao nodded, turned to Qin Zhengguo and said, "Vice President Zhang is living in the dormitory of the factory building now? Is this arrangement inconvenient?"
"It's okay. The dormitories in our factory building are well decorated. I live in a management-level dormitory, a single room. The facilities are not much different from a standard hotel room. I live alone, so there are no big requirements. Besides, I'm here to work, so I don't have too many requirements for where I live." Without waiting for Qin Zhengguo to answer, Zhang Jiaming hurriedly took over the conversation.
Qin Zhengguo was very satisfied with Zhang Jiaming's words. After all, this was the person he brought up with him. He did not let down his team in front of Song Yuanchao, nor did he talk nonsense. This was even more rare.
"Haha, as long as you live well, I'm afraid living in the dormitory will be unfair to you." Song Yuanchao laughed, then turned to Qin Zhengguo and said, "But I think it's better to separate the accommodation for management and ordinary employees, especially for company executives like Vice President Zhang. Although we often say that we should get along with the masses, sometimes it is more suitable for management needs to keep a proper distance from ordinary employees. And it's okay to say that everyone is equal, but it's impossible to do it in reality."
"Our company is neither a state-owned enterprise nor a collective enterprise. It is a Hong Kong-funded and foreign-funded enterprise! We need to set rules in this regard. One of them is that people at different positions and levels can enjoy different treatments. This way, we can distinguish between different classes and treatments, and let everyone see the difference. Not only can we use good benefits to attract talents, but also encourage some motivated employees to improve themselves. What do you think?"
Song Yuanchao's words stunned Qin Zhengguo, and even Zhang Jiaming was stunned. They didn't expect Song Yuanchao to say such a thing.
It's OK for Zhang Jiaming to be from Hong Kong, Hong Kong is a capitalist society, and there are obvious class differences, especially in society. But Song Yuanchao is not from Hong Kong, he is a native of the mainland, and he was taught from childhood that work is equal regardless of status, but what Song Yuanchao said is thought-provoking.
Qin Zhengguo thought about it and nodded: "That's true, don't worry, I originally planned to set up long-term private rooms for the company's executives after the hotel opened. Living in the dormitory is just temporary. I will arrange this matter."
"Okay, since you've considered it, there's no problem." Song Yuanchao smiled and said, "In addition to this, other benefits must also be considered. Shenghua Company's business in Pengcheng has just started, and now is the best time to formulate rules. Without rules, there will be no order. If an enterprise wants to go long-term, it must prepare for the rainy day, and rules are one of them."
As he spoke, Song Yuanchao turned his gaze to Zhang Jiaming: "Vice President Zhang, I suggest that we formulate various company systems as soon as possible, including all systems from management to production to daily assessment. Previously, Shenghua Company was just a trading company in Hong Kong. The management of a trading company is relatively easy, and the internal atmosphere of the company is also very different from that of a manufacturing company, so I hope you can understand this."
"From a detailed point of view, the management of a manufacturing enterprise requires the management of procurement, production, logistics, quality, warehousing, transportation, sales and other environments. However, in essence, the core is still the management of people! All management systems start from the individual. If we do a good job in how to manage people, other management problems will be solved."
"What is the core of our enterprise? What is the culture of our enterprise? How do we determine the enterprise system and how do we implement specific work? We also need to consider the enterprise structure and job functions. In the process of formulating and implementing the system, is the system reasonable? Is the execution in place? What are the assessment standards and supervision ? These are all top priorities."
"In addition, promotions, rewards and punishments at all levels, and transfers between positions must be based on rules. All these things should be taken into consideration and formal and complete regulations should be made. Then, a corporate manual should be distributed to all employees. From the boss and vice president to the middle-level cadres at all levels and even the ordinary employees, everyone must read it carefully, memorize it, strictly abide by it, and strictly implement it!"
Speaking of this, Song Yuanchao said with a serious expression: "This is a big deal, a big deal related to the future of the company. In this regard, Western countries and Japan have already taken the lead. I hope to learn their corporate management model as soon as possible, formulate rules and implement them."
Qin Zhengguo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but facing Song Yuanchao's extremely serious expression, he said nothing in the end. Although he didn't understand some of what Song Yuanchao said, he felt that what Song Yuanchao said was very powerful and reasonable. This may be the reason why people feel powerful without knowing it.
In addition to his trust in Song Yuanchao and Song Yuanchao's identity as a student of Imperial University, he subconsciously felt that since Song Yuanchao said so, it must be correct.
But Zhang Jiaming is different. He has also been to college and is a highly educated talent.
Although he felt that Song Yuanchao was extraordinary when he first met him, he never expected that Song Yuanchao would say such a thing. Many aspects of these words made sense, and they were consistent with what he had learned in college . As for some of them, although he had never learned or heard of them, Zhang Jiaming, who suddenly realized something, could not help but admire Song Yuanchao very much.
"Jiaming, did you understand what Boss Song said? Implement it as soon as possible. You should take charge of this matter yourself. If you need cooperation from Xiangjiang, please contact General Manager Xu directly and ask him to find professionals to assist as soon as possible." Asking Qin Zhengguo to do this was purely embarrassing for him, but since he was the boss, he naturally had a solution. Let Zhang Jiaming be responsible and ask Xiangjiang to cooperate, then there would be no problem.
"Please rest assured, bosses. I will handle this matter as soon as possible and try to produce a first draft for you to review in a few days." Zhang Jiaming agreed immediately.
Song Yuanchao smiled and gave him an encouraging look, then said to Qin Zhengguo: "By the way, Zhengguo, I don't think staying in a hotel room for a long time is a long-term solution. See if you can get another piece of land near the park and apply to the local government to build a better residential community or something. In the future, it can not only be used by our employees, but also sold appropriately to those in need. This would be more appropriate."
"Real estate?" Qin Zhengguo was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "This is still a rare thing in Pengcheng. I have to go ask and then give you an answer."
"Then ask first. By the way, when you ask, remember to tell the local government that if the houses are built, you can give them a few houses, which will be considered as supporting the local government's housing benefits. Although we are a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, Hong Kong-funded enterprises are also Pengcheng enterprises. Since Pengcheng is a special administrative region, some things in a special administrative region should be handled specially. Being flexible can do a better job."
Song Yuanchao said with a smile that he was not worried about not being able to accomplish this matter, because in his memory, Pengcheng's real estate was initially developed in this way, and now Pengcheng has actually already negotiated with a company, and the owner of this company is Lao Liu, the owner of Xiangjiang Miaoli Group who invested in Zhuyuan Hotel.
Lao Liu is a pioneer . In Hong Kong, Lao Liu is not only engaged in department stores but also a real estate tycoon. He has a unique vision and was the first to try something new in Pengcheng when no one else noticed it, and he achieved great success.
When he was doing real estate in Pengcheng, there was no precedent for domestic real estate, that is, commercial housing. The smart Lao Liu adopted a way of cooperating with the local government. The local government allocated land and handed it over to Lao Liu for development. Part of the developed and built houses were directly owned by the local government as welfare housing, and the remaining part was sold as Lao Liu's commercial housing.
His model has effectively solved the current problem of insufficient funds in the local government of Pengcheng Special Administrative Region and the shortage of housing in various government agencies.
Through the cooperation between the two parties, the government department got the house without spending a penny, which improved the housing problem of various government agencies. On the other hand, Lao Liu only paid the construction cost and part of the land transfer fee to obtain the sales license of the commercial housing and the commercial housing built.
From this point of view, it is a win-win result.
Song Yuanchao had heard about this matter. It seemed that Lao Liu had already started cooperating with the local government. If Lao Liu could do it, why couldn't he? Although Song Yuanchao hated the real estate speculation methods in the future, the current real estate industry was still relatively benign. Moreover, at present, this real estate operation model was feasible and a good way to best solve the company's needs and the current situation in Pengcheng.
Thinking of this, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but admire Lao Liu. If Lao Liu's business in Hong Kong had not gone bankrupt due to wrong decisions a few years later, and he had not eventually retired from the business world in despair and went overseas to retire completely, then with Lao Liu's outstanding vision and courage, I'm afraid that more than a decade later, when people mentioned Hong Kong tycoons, their first impression would no longer be Lao Li, but Lao Liu's name.
