Chapter 267 The female boss who cherishes talents
Dianchuang Culture has basically been operating at a loss for the past two years, so much so that the original largest shareholder transferred all its shares to Liu Meijun, making her the largest boss of the company.
Liu Meijun now owns 78% of the shares of this company, which is an absolute controlling stake. The other shareholders combined do not have as many shares as she does, and they are all thinking about transferring their shares. According to Of course, the priority rights will be transferred first to Liu Meijun, the largest shareholder.
The main reason why they think this way is that after Liu Meijun took over, the operating conditions of Dianchuang have not been greatly improved. In terms of performance, it is even slightly worse than last year. The company continues to operate with debt. .
Those shareholders were not optimistic about the future of Dianchuang Culture, so they naturally wanted to sell their shares.
It's just that Liu Meijun doesn't want to take over these shares. She was full of confidence in Dianchuang Culture before, but now she is obviously not. She herself had plans to take action.
Other shareholders want to transfer it to others, but it is difficult to find a new owner for a while. After all, the performance of Dianchuang Culture in the past two years is here, and it cannot be faked. So easy.
What's more, even if the shares can be resold, it is impossible to afford the price.
What Liu Meijun can do during this period is to try his best to find a capable professional manager, the kind of person who can immediately drive the company's performance.
It’s a pity that after more than half a year, I haven’t found a suitable one. The people I found before were either boastful and full of idiots, or they were arrogant and wanted this or that, and they even took advantage of others to line their own pockets. In the end, they had to be fired.
In order to build this company, Liu Meijun has been exhausted both mentally and physically during this period of time. In addition, her daughter went to study abroad, and she no longer had any relatives around her, which made her feel even more depressed.
Every night when she returns to her empty home, no matter how strong and beautiful she pretends to be outside, she can't help but cry secretly.
What is comforting to her is that her personal assets are relatively strong. Even if Dianchuang Culture is going to lose money, she is basically making steady profits in other business projects.
Especially the three chain beauty salons she invested in and opened, which are her largest cash flow, easily earning millions every month.
It’s just that her love life is empty now, and her daughter is not around, so she feels really empty, lonely and cold.
When she had nothing to do, she could only find some friends with whom she had relatively good relationships to have dinner and go shopping together.
As for keeping young girls or looking for male models, she would never do that.
It’s not that she doesn’t have such a living atmosphere and channel opportunities, but that she has her own principles of life.
She actually has some suitors on weekdays. There are peers who seem to have successful careers, and there are also young people with good looks and outstanding temperament, but none of them catch her eye or are really attracted to her. .
She has always been very conservative in relationships, which can be seen from the fact that she chose Qin Xiaorou and her father, a poor research dog.
Qin Xiaorou's father was just a graduate student studying on a work-study basis. He was born in a rural area with average economic conditions. His character was taciturn and his appearance was not outstanding. His only advantages were that he had a decent academic qualification, a decent height, and an honest person.
She was only a junior in college at that time, and through gradually getting to know him, she fell in love with this graduate student. She took the initiative and hit the mark with every hit.
She married this Phoenix man after graduating from college, and also sponsored him to study abroad for a Ph.D., while she herself began to stay in China and work hard on her career, making solid material preparations for their future. When he returned from his studies, the two of them had their own daughter. Began to live a real small family life.
After that, the two people living together gradually found that it was difficult to adapt to each other, they were incompatible with each other, and their pace of life and outlook on life were completely different. Eventually the divorce ended.
Her ex-husband therefore directly immigrated as a skilled worker to live abroad, and even married a foreign woman who was several years older than him.
Her life overall wasn't perfect.
So, what she cares about most now is her career. She wants to make her business bigger and stronger, but the classic culture that she cares about most has not been done well and is still suffering losses.
She happened to have an appointment with her best friend to have dinner here today, and then she met Chen Feng, and she couldn't help but think of the scene when she met Chen Feng.
Not only did Chen Feng beat up his own department manager, he also directly confronted Cao Kun, asking her to use the topic as an excuse, and then fired Cao Kun on the spot.
It can be said that Chen Feng was her lucky general at that time, allowing her to help him clear the obstacles when he first joined Dianchuang.
Without Chen Feng's unintentional help at that time, Cao Kun, the boss of Dianchuang, would not have been so easy to get rid of. Because Cao Kun is a veteran of the company, he also has some equity rewards from the company. Although it is not much, he can still be regarded as a shareholder.
What's more, Cao Kun has been working in Dianchuang for more than ten years. He started as a department manager, then became a deputy general manager, and finally sat in the position of general manager for more than three years. He has been promoted along the way, and his The power in the company can be said to be intertwined. It's not like you just come up and knock him off and everything will be fine.
So, at that time, she temporarily dismissed Chen Feng from his post and gave him a long vacation just because of Chen Feng's exposure. After she spent more than a month straightening out the personnel relations in the company, firing and delegating Cao Kun's former confidants, she truly took control of the company.
Unfortunately, due to such major personnel changes and the increase in competitors, the company's performance has not improved.
Meeting Chen Feng again today, she naturally thought of what she had learned about him at the time. She knew that he was a very capable talent. He was a newcomer with great potential in the company. The previous boss even planned to recruit him. He was groomed to be his successor.
Unfortunately, he was later deliberately suppressed by Cao Kun, and instead was stepped on by his disciples.
However, Chen Feng is also an outstanding person. He endured it for two or three years, secretly accumulated strength to launch an investigation and mastered the evidence, and sent his apprentice to prison in one fell swoop, and also borrowed her hand to arrest him. Cao Kun, the boss, also kicked out of the company and took revenge.
His performance in Liu Meijun's eyes means that he is brave, resourceful, and capable of bending and stretching. How could such a quality not be a talent?
So, she couldn't help but take the initiative to say hello to Chen Feng and invite him back to the company. If he could come back, Liu Meijun's starting point would be to give him a manager role. If he passed her test, she would even He did not hesitate to give him the position of general manager.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng seemed to have made a fortune now, and he actually refused her solicitation. Although Chen Feng could not return to work in Dianchuang, he still cared about Dianchuang to some extent. After all, he had stayed in this company for several years, so he asked casually: "Isn't the situation of the company improved now?"< br>
Liu Meijun nodded along with the words and said: "Yes, it's still the same as before. I fired Cao Kun and other people before him, fired them, decentralized them, and made some major changes in personnel matters. Adjustment, but it seems that my actions are a bit too big and the company has never made any progress.”< br>
Chen Feng nodded with understanding and said: "Such a big change in personnel will definitely affect the company's operations. However, in my opinion, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there are more competitors in the same industry. , and the work capabilities of the two main departments, the planning department and the sales department, are not outstanding. ”
Liu Meijun smiled bitterly and said: "You are right. Since you left, that Yan Jun was also sent in. I cleared out a few people in the planning department, and after I recruited a few more people, Some people are not accustomed to the local environment, and some of the plans they come up with are often called back by customers. As for the sales department, I will avoid Cao Kun. After taking the job, several people left, and these people all had very good performance. What's even worse is that they all went to competitors' companies. I hired a few other people with high salaries to replace them, and the performance suddenly improved. There hasn’t been much improvement.”
When Chen Feng heard this, he felt a little sympathetic to Liu Meijun. The two most important departments of Dianchuang Company are the planning department and the sales department, because these two departments directly generate economic benefits. As a result, these two departments are now semi-disabled, and naturally they cannot bring much profit to the company. .
After thinking for a while, Chen Feng said: "Now it seems that if you want to run the company well, the focus is still on these two departments. I think you can go to companies in the same industry to poach people. As long as the money is enough, there is no one who cannot be poached." "
Liu Meijun's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard this. She didn't care about being polite at the moment, and she came closer and asked: "Can you tell me more about it? Tell me?"
Chen Feng saw her concerned expression and thought of Qin Xiaorou and the courtesy she had always treated him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, but I can't explain a word or two, let's go there. He sat and said. "
Liu Meijun and her best friend had just finished their meal and paid the bill to leave, but Chen Feng was still eating.
Liu Meijun was a little embarrassed when she saw this, but she really needed Chen Feng's advice, so she nodded shamelessly and thanked you: "It's really troublesome for you."
"No trouble, it's just a matter of a few words."
So, Liu Meijun went over and told her best friend to leave first, and then faced Chen Feng at an empty table not far away. While sitting down, the waiter came over and was waved away by them. The service attitude here is still very good. Seeing that the two of them were occupying seats without ordering food, they didn't chase people away.
“It is normal for the same industry to poach people. After all, everyone is a wage earner, and they will work for whoever pays more. Our company used to be the leader in the same industry, but we were often criticized by our peers. I was poached several times in the beginning, but I was determined not to change jobs. If you want to change jobs, there is no chance.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know much about poaching. There are many people doing this job. Those headhunting companies specialize in this business, and there are some so-called people. The information consulting company also provides related business services. You can just ask the people in the human resources department to do it. We can’t just sit in the office and play games every day.”
“Poaching top talents in the same industry is one aspect. On the other hand, I think you can lay off people appropriately, such as the personnel department. I thought what I just said was a joke, but they really work most of the time People are playing games all the time, and our company is too big. It’s really unnecessary to have a dozen people in the human resources department. It’s necessary to cut half of them. There’s also the public relations department. There’s no need to have so many idle people. Many of them are related people. There is no need to let them live in vain for many years, and they must be cleaned up as well.”
Chen Feng has stayed in Dianchuang for so many years, and of course he has a deep understanding of Dianchuang. He gave all his suggestions one by one. Liu Meijun nodded from time to time, and asked questions from time to time, which happened to be on point, making Chen Feng's conversation more interesting.
The conversation lasted for nearly half an hour. In the end, Chen Feng concluded: "In fact, it is a matter of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and enhancing competitiveness in the same industry. The reason is very simple. The difficult thing is to do it well. Anyway, you Now you are the boss of the company. If you are If you have the courage to make a decision and receive a generous reward, there will definitely be brave men who will work hard for you to improve the company's performance."
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading." Liu Meijun sighed. Say, "These suggestions of yours are very important to me. Reply After I left, I made improvements one by one as you said. If I had known earlier, I would have discussed it with you. But it has been delayed until now."
Chen Feng said with a smile: "It has been delayed until now. It's not too late. Didn't you just say that the other shareholders wanted to Transfer the shares to you? If you are confident that you can run the company well, you can take over at a lower price."
After thinking for a moment, Liu Meijun asked with a smile: "How about you take over these shares? How? ”
After Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, he looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "If the price is right, I wouldn't mind taking it. I just don't know how many shares they have now and how much they are worth?"
Liu Meijun couldn't help but be slightly surprised. What she just said was mostly a joke, and of course it was also a test. She didn't expect Chen Feng to accept it so easily and casually. It seems that he is really developed.
Liu Meijun quickly replied: "They have a total of 22% of the shares in their hands. Based on the current market value of our Dianchuang, it is probably worth 30 to 40 million."
Chen Feng He asked with some surprise: " Is Dianchuang’s current market value worth more than 100 million?”
In its heyday, Dianchuang culture was indeed worth 100 or 200 million, but now with the rise of the Internet and the increase in competitors in the same industry, it is obvious that The market value will shrink a lot.
However, Chen Feng's words were a bit hurtful, and Liu Meijun said angrily: "Of course it's worth it. First of all, there are more than two years left on the lease of that floor of the office building, and it's worth more than 20 million. In addition, our Dianchuang is among the best in the industry. The brand name and reputation have always been relatively good, not to mention the annual camp. The business volume can basically be maintained at 200 to 300 million yuan, and the profit is in the tens of millions."
Chen Feng did not refute, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find a professional appraisal company to evaluate it. Dianchuang, and then decide whether to acquire their shares.”
Liu Meijun reminded with a smile: "Then you have to hurry up. Because starting from tomorrow, I plan to do what you just said. Maybe I can turn the company back into profit soon. Then they may not be able to let it go. Sell it, or sell it at a higher price.”
Chen Feng doesn’t care. Said: "If this is really going to be the case, then I will not buy it at all."
Liu Meijun quickly said: "Then I will give you a week. After a week, if you haven't bought it yet If there is any news, I will rectify the company according to my own plan.”
"Okay. You're welcome then."
Liu Meijun said with a smile: "I am doing this for myself, I hope the company has talents like you."
Chen Feng also responded with a smile : "Mutual benefit. I feel pretty good being the second boss of the company where I used to work."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then they stopped talking to each other. After adding WeChat friends, Liu Meijun said goodbye and left.
