Uncle Lin was very satisfied with the meal. He was picking his teeth and still savoring the deliciousness of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall and steamed yellow-lipped fish.
After Lin Sanqi made another cup of 50-year-old tangerine peel tea and came over, Uncle Lin suddenly fell into deep thought, then nodded and said:
"Asen, it seems that your family has really grown up. You eat top-quality ingredients and sell top-quality medicinal materials. Now even the tangerine peel is top-quality. With this standard of living, Chen Jitang, the king of Nantian back then, is not as powerful as you."
Lin Musen smiled softly, "This is all done by Qizai. Depend on me, I will be a barefoot doctor for the rest of my life."
Uncle Lin looked at Lin Sanqi, with a rare confusion in his eyes:
"Qizai, did you have any adventure? Or did you fall in line and become someone's white glove? Let me tell you, white gloves are more difficult to make than black gloves. If you are not good at one, you will be doomed. How can you still Young people, think twice.”
Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly and said calmly:
"Grandpa, don't worry. I do have a special opportunity to start this business. I can't tell you now. I will definitely tell you when I have the opportunity in the future. But since we have to do business, my father and I are still very worried now. ”
Uncle Lin took a sip of tangerine peel tea and savored it carefully for a long time before he said leisurely:
"I can see that now you have the final say in your family. Tell me, what's the problem? Grandpa has walked more roads than you have walked on bridges. Maybe he can give you some advice."
< br>
Uncle Lin's biggest hobby is to be a boss. It is best for everyone in the village to come to him for any career or family problems, and then he can act as the referee. This will show the importance of him as the old patriarch.
Lin Sanqi just nailed the old man's seven inches.
"Grandpa, you can see that my dad is not suitable for business. One is that he has no experience, and the other is that he is not bad enough. He is a profiteer and a profiteer. There is no business without fraud. How can he become a businessman without fraud?
< br>
As for me, I am young and have no business experience. It is easy for me to be looked down upon when I go out to discuss business. The most important thing is that I have to organize the supply of medicinal materials and ingredients. I need to travel across the country and have no time to run the business. ”
Uncle Lin nodded in agreement and said:
"Yes, I have noticed it a long time ago, so instead of helping you set up your business, the photography building in Plaza de Mayo is being renovated."
Lin Sanqi smiled bitterly:
"Grandpa, our plans can't keep up with the changes. Our family's business will not be limited to Cordyceps and Angong Niuhuang Pills in the future, so the area of the photography building is far from enough."
Uncle Lin was shocked when he heard this:
"No, so many cordyceps can make you billionaires. What other business can your family do?"
Lin Sanqi thought for a moment and explained:
"I have channels to get a batch of top-notch Nanri abalone, all of which are single-headed abalone or double-headed abalone. I can also get a batch of isin maw. The most popular golden croaker fish maw from last year is red. Fish maw, white fish maw, and house maw.
In addition, shark fins are also available, and I can get the top-notch Tianjiu fins, sea tigers, and golden hooks; not to mention tangerine peel. I am not bragging. I can get tangerine peel from any year. ”
Uncle Lin was surprised and a little unbelieving, but when he thought about the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall he had just eaten and looked at the 50-year-old tangerine peel tea on the table, he couldn't help but not believe it.
Even he, Lin Peidong, couldn't produce the 50-year-old Xinhui tangerine peel.
"Qizai, if you can really get these treasures, you won't have to worry about selling them at all. I'm not bragging. As long as grandpa helps you let the wind go, rich people will come to buy them. What are you worried about?
< br>
Business is difficult because the competition is too fierce, but only low-end products will have fierce competition because anyone can get the supply. But top-quality ingredients and top-quality medicinal materials are different. Because of their scarcity, how can rich people miss out? ”
Lin Sanqi took a small stool and sat next to Uncle Lin, worrying:
"Uncle, this is the problem. Our business cannot always be limited to a family workshop. Even if we open a boutique store on the second floor of the photography building, it is still a small shop. It is difficult for ordinary people to trust our store. What top quality products can be found in it?
Grandpa, you won’t forget how my house was smashed up a few months ago. It’s not that the Zhou family thought that the village Chinese medicine clinic was of low quality and that they were defrauding them of their money. If my house is a big company, let’s see if they are suspicious. ”
Uncle Lin thought so. He knew whether the Lin family's ingredients and medicinal materials were good or not, and he could also introduce some old friends.
But what others don’t know is that it’s hard for the top rich to trust a small street shop. Even if you bring out the Cordyceps King, they will think you are fake.
"Qizai, you must have some ideas. Tell me. Grandpa will give you some advice."
"Grandpa, I just want to ask if you know any talents in the management field? In the future, we will definitely have to corporate and formalize our operations. We need to build up the reputation of our Lingnan Hall and enter the high-end market. My father and I can't do it. ”
"Oh, are you looking for a professional manager?"
"Yes, that can be understood."
In fact, Shilou Village itself has many professional managers. After all, so many office buildings are to be rented out, and daily maintenance, etc., all require professional teams to operate.
Uncle Lin, the elders of the clan committee, can be the controllers of the group company.
However, middle-level positions such as department managers are generally hired from outside, and professional matters must be left to professionals. This is a very popular village-level management model in Dongguang Province.
Uncle Lin has other worries:
"Looking for a professional manager is risky. I hear what you mean. In the future, all your business will be managed by a manager. Then the manager will have control of all your sales channels and connections. Then they can jump ship and take over the business." Take them all away, what will you do?”
It's better abroad. In China, there are many cases where professional managers set up new companies and drive out their old employers. One is the lack of contractual spirit, the second is that laws related to non-competition are not well enforced, and the third is that everyone wants to be the king of grassroots and is unwilling to be subordinated to others.
Like many time-travel novels, one travels to the 1980s and 1990s and takes Ma Yun and Liu Qiangdong as his younger brothers, and then willingly becomes his subordinates and manages the business for the protagonist.
It's impossible in real life.
Heroes like Ma Yun and Liu Qiangdong will definitely not be willing to be subordinated to others. They will definitely start their own business. Their abilities and ambitions cannot be used to work for others.
So why are there so many family businesses in the South? They know the shortcomings of family businesses and would rather not develop and grow than hire outsiders. This is because the credibility of professional managers is not high.
After all, if a professional manager has different intentions, he will take away the pot and leave no scum behind.
Lin Sanqi heard her grandfather’s worries but showed an indifferent attitude:
"Grandpa, actually, you don't have to worry about this, because all raw material purchase channels are in my own hands, and I will not tell others about this supply source. In the future, if a professional manager wants to change jobs or go it alone, how can he do it if he doesn't have the goods?"
Lin Sanqi is very confident about this, because he has been carrying goods since 1959. Who in the world can poach him?
Uncle Lin laughed out loud when he saw his great-nephew being so confident:
"Hua Tou, it turns out that you came up with this idea. It seems that you already have a complete plan in your mind, so I'm relieved. Don't be afraid of being small in the entrepreneurial stage. Only by taking steady steps can you succeed step by step.
The biggest fear of starting a business is that the structure is too big. Before the foundation is laid, if you want to occupy the whole country, go out of Asia, and rush into the world, you will definitely end up with nothing, and it is not worth my help. ”
Lin Sanqi's eyes lit up: "Grandpa, do you have a good candidate to recommend to me?"
Uncle Lin took out his mobile phone with a proud look on his face:
"Boy, our Lin family in Shilou Village has more than 3,000 people in our own village, and there are more than 10,000 clan members around the world. Isn't it easy to find some business talents? Don't worry about your family."
After saying that, Uncle Lin had already dialed the number:
"Ahua, where are you? Something has happened. I'm waiting for you at the ancestral hall..."
Lin Musen suddenly asked from the side: "Grandpa, are you looking for Lao Shi?"
"Yes, Ahua resigned from Hutouben China Company a few days ago because he had some unpleasant troubles with foreigners. He has been working in sales professionally for decades and has been a senior executive of a car company. He has great abilities and connections. It’s my family again, what do you think?”
Lin Tianhua is the tenth eldest in Lin Musen's generation and is one year younger than Lin Musen. The two of them have also been brothers since childhood.
After Lin Tianhua graduated from university, he first became a teacher, then worked in many large companies after going abroad, and finally joined Mercedes-Benz, becoming the general manager of Mercedes-Benz South China Region.
It can be regarded as a prince among the car companies.
As a result, he finally resigned due to an unpleasant encounter with a senior executive due to infighting and partisan issues within the company.
Of course Lin Sanqi also knows this "Uncle Mercedes-Benz Hua". The villagers in Shilou Village like to buy Mercedes-Benz when they have money, and they can get the lowest discount from Lin Tianhua every time.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Shilou Village is a famous Mercedes-Benz Village.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with the previous Lin Musen family. There are rich and poor in every village, and there are beggars in Dubai.
Lin Tianhua came quickly.
Wearing a short-sleeved shirt, suit trousers, and a blue tie on a hot day, with his hair styled in a disrespectful manner, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, the first impression he gives is that of a "professional elite."
On the other hand, Uncle Lin, Lin Musen, and Lin Sanqi all wore vests, large pants, and a pair of flip-flops. The contrast was very strong.
After Lin Tianhua entered the ancestral hall, he immediately burst into smiles. The laughter was cordial, and it was definitely not flattering like Lin Sanqi:
"Grandpa, did you call me? Hey, Brother Ninth, you are here too. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I heard that you have become rich recently. I haven't asked for a cup of tea yet."
The Lin family has many rules, so Lin Sanqi quickly stood up: "Uncle Ten."
Lin Tianhua patted Lin Sanqi's shoulder affectionately: "Qizai, you have grown up. Our Lin family has another talented person."
Lin Tianhua then said hello to everyone in the ancestral hall, even the sisters-in-law who were working.
It gives people a refreshing feeling, very approachable, and does not look like they have been a senior executive of a foreign company at all.
Lin Sanqi thought to herself: This clan uncle has absolutely high emotional intelligence. It is indeed not easy for people to succeed in the workplace. (End of chapter)
