Chapter 311: If you dig up the foundation well, you will get benefits
To be honest, Lu Yiming was caught off guard by Lu Qinghe 's provocative behavior of arguing with him in person and trying to poach him.
However, such a small scene is not a big problem for Lu Yiming.
It is said that people go to high places and water flows to low places. When the boss tells his employees that they should have a sense of belonging, it is because he wants to make the donkeys in the production team work more. If an employee tells his boss that he has a sense of belonging to the company, then he is somewhat masochistic. It is recommended that he see a psychiatrist as soon as possible and have his brain checked.
Although Lu Yiming is a boss now, he was also a worker before, so he understands the mentality of workers.
At that moment, Lu Yiming did not get angry at Lu Qinghe as others expected. Instead, he glanced at everyone and said expressionlessly, "The reason why I sold Shijinji's candy business to Ferrero is because I saw that Ferrero's employee benefits are better than Xu Fuji's. Now that some people want to go to Ferrero, I certainly won't stop them. If any of you want to go with me, you can go. I won't stop you."
"this……"
If Lu Yiming got furious, Lu Qinghe could take the opportunity to pretend to argue with him and then leave.
However, Lu Yiming acted so calm and gentle, and even said that Shijinji sold its candy business to Ferrero because Ferrero treated them well and it would be convenient for them to change jobs. Those employees who were tempted suddenly didn't know what to do.
However, in life, interests come first.
There are so many shameless people in this world who are willing to sacrifice themselves for money. Even under the temptation of higher profits, many people still remain determined to leave.
After all, the future of Shijinji is uncertain. If you change jobs now while Shijinji is still in decline, you may be able to get a premium. If you wait until Shijinji goes bankrupt before changing jobs, you won't be so relaxed.
An executive stood up, his face full of guilt, but he still said to Lu Yiming with a firm gaze: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I have elderly parents and young children to support, and a family of six or seven people waiting for me to support them. Maybe Ferrero is more suitable for me now."
Lu Yiming still didn't curse, and he didn't even bother to say anything to try to keep her.
He simply glanced expressionlessly at the executive who had spoken and nodded slightly: "Well, I understand. When the time comes, you can hand in your resignation letter to the chairman's office and I will approve it for you."
Lu Yiming's calm tone without a trace of fireworks made the executive look ashamed. He lowered his head slightly and said, "I'm really sorry."
Lu Yiming smiled disapprovingly: "Everyone has the right to choose. I couldn't keep you because the current Shijinji is not good enough. The responsibility lies with me. I have a long way to go in the future, and I hope we will meet again one day."
Then he asked, "Who else wants to leave? Why don't you make your statement now? I'll help you complete the resignation procedures this afternoon to save you trouble. You have to be decisive when doing things. If you hesitate now and put it off until tomorrow, I won't be so easy to talk to you."
Lu Qinghe had a defiant look on his face. His posture and eyes were like a wild dog that had broken free from its reins. “I’m leaving anyway.”
Several more executives stood up and submitted their resignations.
Lu Yiming still did not show any anger or dissatisfaction, and spoke as gently as always: "Anything else? If not, you guys can go write your resignation letters now. For those who don't plan to leave, let's continue the meeting. If you don't leave now, I won't approve your departure after the meeting, so you better think it over."
Lu Qinghe was the first to walk out, without hesitation or looking back.
The people who stood up just now also followed closely behind, moving towards what they believed to be a better life.
Later, several more people stood up and chose to leave with Lu Qinghe.
In an instant, the number of people in the office dropped by more than half.
This made those who stayed behind all look extremely angry.
"These people are really outrageous. When the company's performance was good, they swore that they would be the company's employees in life and the company's ghosts in death. Now that the company has encountered a small setback, they immediately jumped ship. They have no spirit of sharing weal and woe."
"Too much, he actually left like that?"
Lei Peilin sighed, looked at Lu Yiming with an uncertain gaze, and reminded him in a low voice: "The company was already short-staffed, and Lu Qinghe has poached so many business backbones..."
Lu Yiming smiled and waved his hand without further explanation.
Then he motioned for everyone to be quiet and said, "Everyone has the right to pursue a better life, and there is nothing wrong with that. Besides, a forced melon is not sweet. Our country is so big, we lack everything except people. If they quit, we will just recruit them. Next, I will announce the company's new strategy. Since you have chosen to stay, it means you believe in me, and I will naturally not let you down."
"Boss Lu, you did that on purpose, didn't you? You want to get rid of those people who have second thoughts, so that they won't jump ship and sell out information after listening to the company's new strategy."
Lu Yiming did not try to hide it, but admitted it openly: "I did consider this. Well, now that they are gone, there is no point in saying this. Everyone, many years later, you will be glad for your choice today. Shijinji will surely become a well-known food company in China and even internationally, or even a multinational group in the food industry, trampling foreign companies like Ferrero under its feet."
After making a big promise, Lu Yiming knew that he had to give some practical benefits, so he announced: "From today on, the treatment of all employees of Shijinji will be comparable to Ferrero. Whether it is salary, bonus, or other benefits, they will all be one dollar more per month than Ferrero!"
As soon as Lu Yiming said this, the crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Good fellow, Mr. Lu, you said you don't bear grudges, but you are stabbing those people in the lungs just now."
"All benefits will be increased by one dollar per month. Hahahaha, Mr. Lu, you are ruthless. I like it."
"Those people who just left are probably going to regret it to death."
“It’s a slap in their face.”
There was a lively and peaceful atmosphere in the office.
Lu Yiming waited until they were all excited, then he took out a document and gave Lei Peilin an order: "Manager Lei, I plan to let you take the lead in launching a new project. This is an event planning, and the event is called 'One million prize money to find the most talented painter'. The operation procedures are all in it. You will contact the major TV stations and newspaper media to run the advertisements for me and create momentum. I will approve 10 million advertising funds for you. In short, it must be a huge event, and it would be best if everyone, from the elderly to the newly learned to walk, would pay attention to this event."
"What? Ten million? And that's just for advertising?"
Lei Peilin was shocked.
Not only Lei Peilin, but other employees were also shocked.
This is 10 million yuan. If it is broadcast on local TV stations, it will be enough to create an overwhelming advertising campaign.
With such a huge initial investment, Lei Peilin believes that the company's transformation plan is absolutely a remarkable feat and requires great determination, otherwise it would be impossible to burn money like this.
For a moment, Lei Peilin felt full of energy again. Shi Jinji had not fallen yet, so he could still fight.
"Boss Lu, don't worry, I will complete the mission at all costs!"
However, Lei Peilin changed the subject and said, "Boss Lu, do you have to send me some capable assistants? Otherwise, I can't handle it alone."
Lu Yiming nodded when he heard this: "You can recruit people yourself. I don't care about these things. I will only focus on the general direction and the final results. As for the specific implementation process, that is something you should consider. You are also a veteran employee of the company. You have contributed to the success of Shijinji. Keep up the good work. When Shijinji becomes bigger and stronger in the future, you will definitely benefit from it."
This obvious act of decentralization surprised Lei Peilin.
Because in the past the general of finance had to take charge of everything and personally inquire about everything, Lei Peilin was used to asking for instructions before everything.
However, Lu Yiming's style of doing things is obviously different from Shi Caijiang's.
Lu Yiming gave him so much power, so much money, and promised more benefits if he did a good job. Lei Peilin was moved and full of energy. He couldn't wait to start working.
There are only two reasons why employees are dissatisfied with their boss: they are not paid enough, or they feel wronged.
Now Lu Yiming not only gave enough money, but also gave Lei Peilin respect. He was not an ungrateful person, so he naturally knew who to follow to have more hope.
At this moment, Ferrero Rocher became nothing but a passing cloud in his eyes.
When other people in the conference room saw this, they were also very excited.
Previously, there were so many executives at Shijinji that the benefits distributed to them were naturally diluted. Now a large number of executives have left, and Shijinji has so much work to do. Although it is a bit tiring, don’t they get all the benefits in the end?
"Okay, now it's Manager Lei's turn. After Manager Lei completes his task, I will make the next work arrangements. The meeting is adjourned."
Lu Yiming left immediately after he finished speaking.
He designed it this way on purpose.
Shijinji’s card-drawing snacks can be said to be the biggest reliance for reversing Shijinji’s current passive situation, and confidentiality is naturally the top priority.
Lu Yiming was grateful to Lu Qinghe in his heart. If he hadn't jumped out impatiently, Lu Yiming would not have known that Shijinji had been breached by Ferrero.
It was precisely because of this realization that Lu Yiming cleared out those people without hesitation and then announced the company's new strategy.
This new business will not be announced all at once, but will be implemented stage by stage.
The current stage is that Lei Peilin is carrying out crazy publicity. As for why he is carrying out crazy publicity and what he will do after the publicity, Lei Peilin knows nothing about it, and it is even more impossible for other people in the company to know. This has kept the core business secrets of Shijinji to the greatest extent .
Lu Yiming had just walked out of the office when Su Yunjin called.
"Xiao Ming, how are you doing over there?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "We just finished the meeting and the tasks have been sent out."
Su Yunjin said: "That's good."
Lu Yiming recalled the scene at the meeting and said to Su Yunjin, "There is something I need to tell you."
Su Yunjin frowned slightly, and her expression became serious: "Go ahead."
"Ferrero secretly contacted our company's senior executives and tried to poach Lu Qinghe. During the meeting just now, Lu Qinghe openly challenged me and poached people right in front of me. A total of twelve people followed Lu Qinghe."
Su Yunjin's face changed slightly after hearing this, and she asked quickly, "How could this happen? What should we do? How could Ferrero do this? Our deal is already in the delivery stage, and they're actually trying to poach us?"
Seeing Su Yunjin was very nervous, Lu Yiming quickly said to comfort her: "Auntie, don't be angry. I have already driven those people away. I have also increased the employee benefits a little. Since Ferrero did it on the first day of the month, we will do it on the fifteenth day. Remember this grudge and I will avenge it later."
"Um."
Su Yunjin took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down, and then said, "Yunwei has already negotiated for us to acquire the puffed food production line. We bought a factory that originally produced instant noodles. We can directly produce instant noodles by changing the formula. Now everything is ready, and we only need the right time. What about you? When will Mr. Lei start the action?"
Instant noodles have been made for a long time and are not new. It is even more difficult to innovate in taste.
Therefore, the only way to reverse the unfavorable situation is to promote the "card drawing" method of blind box lottery and use this new business model to revitalize the entire market.
The success or failure of Shijinji depends on this one move.
Lu Yiming's eyes were firm and his tone was calm: "It has already started, and I think we will see results in the next two days. Auntie, I still want to emphasize again that since the snacks are made for children, the food safety and hygiene must be strictly controlled. Children are the future of the country."
Su Yunjin teased, "I see. I didn't expect that you, a capitalist, have such a conscience."
Lu Yiming smiled and laughed at himself in front of Su Yunjin: "My conscience is valuable, of course I can't sell it at such a low price."
This witty remark actually made Su Yunjin chuckle, and she complained: "You are a person who says one thing and means another, but you are indeed different from other rich people I have met."
Lu Yiming said with emotion: "Because I was poor before, I know the suffering of the poor and what they need. The people of our country are the most kind-hearted. They only need the most basic means of production and living to be satisfied. But they are also the most irritable. Once they encounter injustice, there will always be someone who stands up. So our products must not fall short. Just to make a little initial profit, lose reputation and ruin the brand, then it will affect the future development of the company, and the loss will outweigh the gain."
These words come from the heart.
Having seen many outrageous operations of capital in his previous life, Lu Yiming has now become one of the wealthy people, but he does not want to become the kind of person he once hated the most.
It would be too shameful for a reborn person to do something dirty and shameful to make a little profit.
