Chapter 914 Conversation
"Knock knock knock"
There was a knock on the door, Song Yuanchao said "Come in", the door opened, and Xiaoqi walked in.
"Mr. Song, the meeting minutes have been sorted out." Xiao Qi came to Song Yuanchao with a folder and said.
Song Yuanchao nodded, took the folder, opened it and glanced at it. The contents inside were what had just been said and discussed in the meeting. The minutes of the meeting were very complete. This was also one of the management requirements of Shenghua and Si Te. These meeting minutes would be archived and kept. All departments must report on the execution results of the work requirements or plans formed at the meeting within the specified time. This was also to better manage and implement the management requirements.
"Sit down for a while. I'll talk to you after I finish reading." Song Chaoyuan flipped two pages and saw Xiaoqi still standing in front of him. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the sofa opposite, indicating that he should sit down.
Xiao Qi thanked him and sat down opposite Song Yuanchao, with his hands on his knees, waiting quietly for Song Yuanchao to finish reading the records.
Ten minutes later, Song Yuanchao finished reading all the records and made sure that there was nothing missing. Then he took out a pen and signed his name on the signature page.
"No problem, save it."
"Okay, Mr. Song." Xiao Qi took the folder and nodded.
"Xiao Qi, you have been working in Nandu for half a year, right?" Song Yuanchao suddenly asked.
"It has been more than half a year. If we count from the time when the reform plan was first submitted, it has been almost nine months," said Xiao Qi.
Song Yuanchao nodded and asked, "Now you are the general manager of Nandu, do you feel tired at work?"
"It was a little bit at the beginning, but it became much easier after you sent Mr. She and others here. After all, they are old Nandu people and are very familiar with Nandu's internal situation. They have provided a lot of help in my work." Xiao Qi spoke the truth and did not avoid these things because of his relationship with Song Yuanchao.
Song Chaoyuan smiled. He was very satisfied with Xiaoqi's attitude. When the school-run factory was first established, Xiaoqi was a good young man. Although he was not well educated, he was serious and responsible in his work. Later, he followed Li Daqi to Tengfei Factory and gradually became Li Daqi's right-hand man.
After Tengfei Factory was nationalized, Li Daqi went to Pengcheng under the arrangement of Song Yuanchao. At that time, Xiaoqi gave up his position in Tengfei Factory and followed Li Daqi to Pengcheng.
In Pengcheng, Xiao Qi started from scratch. Song Yuanchao had noticed his work and performance over the years, and he was very steady step by step. It was for this reason that after Shenghua decided to sell its clothing business, Song Yuanchao specially transferred Xiao Qi back from Pengcheng to preside over the merger and restructuring of Nandu, and after taking over Nandu, he directly let Xiao Qi serve as the general manager of Nandu.
Now, although Xiaoqi is in charge of a food company that is completely different from his previous industry for the first time, his work ability and performance are still recognized by Song Chaoyuan, which proves that Song Chaoyuan's choice is correct.
"What do you think about Nando?" Song Chaoyuan suddenly asked.
Xiao Qi was stunned. He didn't quite understand why Song Yuanchao asked this question. However, after thinking about it carefully, he said, "At present, the restructuring of Nandu is still in progress, and this point was also mentioned in today's meeting. For next year's work plan, Nandu's main task is to launch new products. Although the market response to the old products is good after the formula is restored, from the overall market perspective, the vitality of the old products is no longer as good as before. Even if the original reputation can be restored through quality improvement, in the long run, adding new products, expanding Nandu's brand effect, and breaking the market deadlock is the best way..."
Song Yuanchao listened to Xiaoqi's story, and after listening for a while, he waved his hand and interrupted him.
These are all work matters. We have almost covered everything that needs to be discussed in the previous meeting. What I am asking now is what you think.
"My idea? What Mr. Song means...?" For a moment, Xiao Qi didn't know how to answer, and there was some surprise on his face.
Song Yuanchao laughed loudly, picked up the cigarette box in front of him, smoked a cigarette and threw it to Xiao Qi: "Don't call me Mr. Song all the time, we knew each other when I was running a factory at school. You were not so polite back then. What's wrong? Now that you are in a higher position, you are being distant with me?"
"This... Brother Song..." Xiao Qi hesitated and changed his words.
"That's right!" Song Yuanchao laughed, lit up the cigarette with the torch Xiao Qi handed over, and took a deep puff: "It sounds more intimate if we call each other like this in private."
Xiao Qi chuckled and looked much more relaxed: "Brother Song, I personally don't have any ideas. To be honest, when I was working in the school-run factory, I never thought I would be here today. At that time, I was just an ordinary young worker without even a formal job. If it weren't for you and Brother Daqi, I might not even know where I would be earning a few dozen yuan a month."
"Over the years, I have followed you and Brother Daqi from the school-run factory to the Tengfei Factory, from the Tengfei Factory to Pengcheng, and now to Nandu. It is all thanks to your cultivation that I am where I am now. To be honest, I am already very satisfied. Compared to ordinary people, my life is already very good..."
Xiaoqi's words came from his heart, and they were also what was in his heart.
As a middle manager of Shenghua, Xiao Qi has made a lot of money over the years, so Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi will naturally not treat him unfairly. Moreover, after Shenghua Clothing went public, Xiao Qi, as the actual manager of Pengcheng Shenghua Clothing, also got a lot of original shares, thus owning a considerable fortune.
Although his current wealth is certainly not comparable to that of Song Yuanchao, Qin Zhengguo, Li Daqi, and even Xu Hui, compared to many people, Xiao Qi is already a wealthy man. He has a happy family, plenty of money, and is now being appointed as the general manager of Nandu by Song Yuanchao. It can be said that he has nothing to regret.
It is important for people to be content. Xiao Qi is a person who knows how to be content. It is precisely because of his character that Song Yuanchao reuses and trusts him, and his performance is enough to satisfy Song Yuanchao.
"Boy, do you really have no other ideas? Don't you want to take a further step? And make further progress in your career?" Song Chaoyuan asked with a smile.
"Further improvement? Further promotion?" Xiao Qi was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Song, please don't joke with me. I am very satisfied now. Every day I think about how to do my job well and live up to your trust and reuse. As for further improvement and promotion? Look, I am already the general manager. How can I make further progress and promotion? I can't take your position as chairman, right?"
"Hahaha, you kid have a narrow mind. Why not?" Xiao Qi didn't expect Song Yuanchao to suddenly say such a thing. When he said this, Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, with an incredible expression.
"Brother Song, you...you are not kidding, are you?"
"You must be joking, I'm telling the truth!"
"This...are you planning to ignore Nandu?" Xiao Qi couldn't help but ask.
Song Yuanchao shook his head slightly: "It's not that I don't care, I just don't want to continue to be the chairman of Nandu."
"why is that?"
“There’s no need to ask why. Even if I’m no longer the chairman of Nandu, I’m still the chairman of Shenghua Capital. Nandu is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenghua Capital, and this will never change.” Song Chaoyuan answered lightly.
Seeing Xiao Qi frowning and looking puzzled, Song Chaoyuan said, "In fact, I didn't plan to serve as the chairman when Nandu was restructured. It was just because I thought it would be better for Nandu's restructuring if I served as the chairman."
Song Yuanchao's words made Xiao Qi understand a little. Song Yuanchao was right. After the news that Song Yuanchao was officially announced as the chairman of Nandu came out, the resistance to the reform in Nandu suddenly became much smaller, especially the grassroots employees and cadres of Nandu. Not only did they not oppose the announcement of the news, they also showed great enthusiasm and support.
This situation is not surprising, because Song Yuanchao was originally from Nandu. Although Song Yuanchao did not stay in Nandu for a long time, and when he served as the deputy director of Nandu, in addition to directly being in charge of the laboratory, the Youth League Committee, and logistics, he was mainly responsible for the work of the first branch.
Compared with Jiang Dahai, Gu Ping and others, Song Yuanchao did not have much influence on Nandu itself, but his fame in Nandu was not small at all. Especially shortly after Song Yuanchao was in charge of the first branch, he quickly turned the branch from loss to profit through reforms and became a prominent figure within Nandu.
Later, the first branch became a joint venture under the operation of Song Yuanchao. In the few years after the establishment of Sit, the company's development speed was obvious to all. Sit's predecessor, as a branch, was blood-related to Nandu. The two companies can be said to be brother companies . When Nandu was declining, Sit was thriving. Compared with the two, Nandu people's feelings towards Song Chaoyuan became extremely complicated.
Many old employees of Nandu have discussed the situation of Nandu and Si Te in private. In the discussion, Song Yuanchao is a person who cannot be avoided in any way. Many people feel that if Song Yuanchao had been the head of Nandu after Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping left, or if the entire Nandu had been jointly invested in the first branch factory and Song Yuanchao had been the chairman, then Nandu would definitely not be what it is now.
This statement became more and more popular as the situation of Nandu became worse and worse. Many people regarded Song Yuanchao as a capable person who could completely change Nandu, and they all hoped that Song Yuanchao could lead Nandu to change its current poor situation.
It was precisely because of this that when Xiaoqi finally finalized the reform plan of Nandu with the local government and the entire Nandu was acquired, many people at Nandu were worried about the future. You know, although the company's performance was not good before, it was a state-owned enterprise after all, and everyone's jobs would be kept no matter what.
But now the company has been acquired and turned into a private enterprise. Who knows how the private boss will treat these employees when he takes power?
What if, just like the legendary capitalists, they exploited and laid off these people, then how would they live in the future? For a time, rumors spread inside Nandu, saying all kinds of things. In addition, some people were unwilling to see Nandu being acquired and fanned the flames, making Xiaoqi's subsequent restructuring work even more difficult.
For this reason, Song Yuanchao decisively decided to take the position of Chairman of Nandu and announced it directly to Nandu. In addition, Song Yuanchao also directly took back the controlling stake of Sitek as the Chairman of Nandu, further returned to Sitek and once again served as the Chairman of Sitek.
When this news spread, the rumors disappeared instantly, and were replaced by the joy of most people. Because in everyone's view, as an old Nandu man and a long-time factory leader of Nandu, it was definitely a good thing for Song Yuanchao to manage Nandu. Everyone believed that Song Yuanchao would definitely lead everyone out of the quagmire and lead Nandu back to its former glory.
