Chapter 812: Breaking Things
"Book that XXXX!"
A string of Shanghainese swear words came out of Zhang Jianguo's mouth. While cursing, Zhang Jianguo slammed the table, and his face turned red.
Standing in front of him were the logistics company's vice president Lao Yang, office director Lao Deng, and human resources director Lao Jin. The three of them hung their heads and dared not say a word, allowing Zhang Jianguo to scold them.
After cursing for a long time, Zhang Jianguo finally stopped. He felt his mouth was dry, so he picked up the teacup on the table and took a big sip. His chest was still heaving.
"Mr. Zhang, please calm down. It's useless to get angry now that this has already happened. Let's find a way to deal with it." Old Deng reached out and took Zhang Jianguo's teacup, picked up the bottle to help add water, put it back on the table and said softly.
"A bunch of bastards!" Zhang Jianguo couldn't help cursing again, and took two deep breaths to calm down. He glanced at Lao Yang and Lao Jin who still had their heads drooping, and waved his hand unhappily: "Sit down first, sit down and talk."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt relieved. Boss Zhang finally stopped taking his anger out on them. It was really scary just now. They had followed Zhang Jianguo for so long but had never seen him get so angry. He looked like he wanted to eat someone.
But it's no wonder that Zhang Jianguo was so angry. They were also shocked and angry when they heard the news. Such a thing happened suddenly, and it was a huge scandal.
"Tell me, what should we do now?" Zhang Jianguo lit up a cigarette, took a long puff, and spoke to everyone.
The three of them exchanged glances. Lao Jin was the HR director, so he said first: "I think we should get the person out first, and then we can deal with him according to company regulations after he comes out."
Zhang Jianguo frowned, thought for a moment and asked Lao Yang directly: "What do you mean?"
"My thoughts are similar to Lao Jin's. How to deal with it is a matter for the future. The key now is to get the person out. Moreover, once this incident happens, the work over there is half paralyzed. No matter how big the incident is, it cannot affect the business, otherwise the trouble will get bigger and bigger."
"What about you?" Zhang Jianguo continued to ask Lao Deng. Lao Deng seemed to have thought about this question a long time ago and replied immediately: "I think what Mr. Yang and Mr. Jin said are correct. Now that the problem has arisen, the key is to solve it. No matter what, it must not affect the business. However, this person must be dealt with. I suggest that the headquarters send someone to take over as soon as possible. After the person is found out, the handover should be made as soon as possible. All previous personnel should be recalled to the headquarters for separate handling. Those who should be demoted should be demoted, and those who should be fired should be fired. No mercy should be shown."
Old Deng's words touched Zhang Jianguo's heart. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "This incident has a very bad impact, especially the direct impact on the company's operations. Old Yang, Old Jin, one of you is the vice president of operations, and the other is in charge of personnel. This time when something happened, you..."
Before Zhang Jianguo could finish his words, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Zhang Jianguo reached out and picked up the phone, and Song Yuanchao's voice came from the other end.
"Uncle, I heard that something happened at the branch of the logistics company?"
"Well, there is a little trouble. I am dealing with it." Zhang Jianguo said with a bitter taste in his mouth, sighing: "This matter will be resolved soon. I have arranged for someone to solve it. Don't worry, it will definitely not affect Si Te's delivery."
Song Yuanchao was silent on the phone for a while, then he said, "I just came back from Yanjing. How about this, I'll come over right away and we can meet and talk?"
"Okay, come over here, I'll wait for you."
Zhang Jianguo said a few words on the phone and then hung up.
After hanging up the phone, he put out the cigarette in his hand and glanced at the three people present: "Director Song also knows about this, he will be here soon. Okay, you don't have to stay here anymore, quickly arrange for someone to take over. I have no other requirements, we must ensure the smooth operation of subsequent business , especially the delivery problem at Si Te!"
The three of them agreed in succession, and Zhang Jianguo waved at them, signaling them to do it as soon as possible. After the three of them left, Zhang Jianguo lit up another cigarette with an ugly look on his face.
Song Yuanchao arrived an hour later. He drove directly into the logistics company headquarters and came to Zhang Jianguo's office.
"uncle!"
"Yuan Chao is here." Seeing Song Yuanchao, Zhang Jianguo forced a smile and asked him to sit down, then went to the side and made him a cup of tea. Song Yuanchao took the tea, said thank you, and couldn't wait to ask what was going on.
"Alas... Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles..." Zhang Jianguo shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that a few guys in the branch office didn't control the thing in their crotch. They called early this morning and said that the branch manager, deputy manager and two supervisors were caught red-handed last night..."
"How could such a thing happen?" Song Yuanchao frowned. He had just received a call from the headquarters. Today, the sales company reported that there was a problem with the distribution in a certain area. After learning about it, the people from the local sales branch went to the logistics company to inquire about the situation. Who would have thought that several leaders of the logistics company were not there, and the people working below were clueless.
With the establishment of branches in various regions, the sales network of Sit has changed greatly. The original sales model was mainly based on dealers and agents, but now, Sit's sales network has sunk and extended its tentacles directly to the sales terminals.
Due to the change in sales model, the requirements for logistics are much higher than before. According to the original sales model, logistics companies basically carry out whole-in and whole-out, and branches exist as distribution.
But now, the business of logistics companies is changing along with the sales company model, and gradually beginning to adjust to the future city distribution model. In this case, the requirements for logistics companies are very high.
Zhang Jianguo's logistics company has grown quite large since its establishment. Zhang Jianguo entered this industry relatively early, and after years of development, the company's strength has continued to increase.
In addition, the relationship between Zhang Jianguo and Song Yuanchao is well known to everyone. Moreover, although the boss of this logistics company is Zhang Jianguo, in fact nearly half of the shares of the logistics company are in Shenghua, that is, the hands of Song Yuanchao.
From this point of view, both the logistics company and Si Te belong to the Shenghua Group, which is one of Song Yuanchao's enterprises. And for this reason, while Si Te continued to expand, the logistics company also expanded outward randomly, setting up general warehouses, branch warehouses and distribution logistics systems in various places according to Song Yuanchao's requirements.
At present, except for the railway transportation link, the rest of the road transportation including regional distribution is all handled by logistics companies. In addition, with the change of sales company's sales model, the role of logistics companies is becoming more and more important.
But this time, something went wrong at a local logistics branch, causing the previously well-run distribution and warehousing business to come to a standstill. The sales company branch did not dare to neglect the news and quickly reported it to the sales company headquarters.
After receiving the news, Sun Yaoliang directly called Song Yuanchao who had just arrived in Shanghai. Only then did Song Yuanchao call Zhang Jianguo and rush over.
"We are family, I won't hide it from you, actually this kind of shit has always existed in our industry." Zhang Jianguo shook his head and said, "Drivers are generally not well educated, and they have to go out every few days, their eating, drinking and sleeping habits are irregular, and their work is very hard. Drivers usually have two big hobbies, one is a good drink, and the other is a good..."
Having said that, Zhang Jianguo didn't say it explicitly, but gave Song Yuanchao a knowing look.
Sighing, Zhang Jianguo said, "You may not understand this because you have never done it. Let me give you an example. If you often travel long distances, you will easily see some small restaurants on both sides of the national highway. Most of the business of these small restaurants comes from the consumption of drivers passing by on the road, and there are also various not-so-glorious things."
Song Yuanchao understood, and suddenly many inconspicuous-looking small restaurants on the national highway flashed through his mind. Zhang Jianguo was right, these small restaurants survived on the passing drivers. Many drivers would often stop, eat and rest in these small restaurants when driving long distances.
The first two are very normal, but the last "rest" is a bit hard to explain. During the rest period, some "entertainment" that wanders in the gray area is very common. Otherwise, how can you make money just by eating?
You know, being a driver is still a good career in this era, especially for long-distance drivers. Although it is hard work, they can earn a lot of money, and some smart ones can even make some extra money by carrying goods privately.
Just as Zhang Jianguo said, most drivers are not well educated and are away from their families for long periods of time for various reasons. In addition, many drivers like to drink, and after a few drinks, it is inevitable that these grown men will have all kinds of thoughts, so all kinds of bad things will happen.
"Uncle, you wouldn't have that kind of thing, would you?" Song Yuanchao joked with a smile.
"Bah!" Zhang Jianguo rolled his eyes at him and cursed with a smile: "Who do you think I am? I'm different from them. Your aunt and I have a bond that's stronger than gold! Besides, I drove a small car back then, not a big one, so I still have some quality at least."
"Hahaha, don't be so angry. It was just a joke. Why are you really so angry?" Song Yuanchao apologized quickly, and Zhang Jianguo cursed him a few more times in annoyance.
Zhang Jianguo told Song Yuanchao that such things were not uncommon in the driver industry, and everyone was aware of it.
Since its establishment, the logistics company has grown in size and has more and more personnel. Now, except for professional positions such as finance, administration, and personnel, the persons in charge of many positions in logistics companies are basically old drivers who have transferred to other positions, including the heads and supervisors of various branches.
The reason for using these people is very simple, because they often have rich work experience and are insiders in the industry. In addition, there are currently no real logistics professionals in the country. Logistics companies are constantly expanding and many positions have vacancies, so it is normal to use these people.
