Chapter 1223 Management Talent
On this day, Chen Feng finally stayed at home quietly for a whole day without leaving the house.
In the evening, the two women came back from get off work. While eating, Wu Mengting chatted with Chen Feng about the selection of personal assistants.
"Brother, I thought about it and thought You Jialing could be your personal assistant."
Chen Feng asked somewhat unexpectedly: "You are talking about your classmate's cousin. Now Your assistant?”
Wu Mengting nodded and said: "Yes. Her abilities in all aspects are really good. Being my assistant is really a bit of an incompetence. She has only been in the company for a few days and she already knows our company inside and out." And I have basically met most of the people in the company, and everyone has a good impression of her. In addition, as you know, I had an assistant before, and I had two assistants, which is somewhat beyond the standard for me. I am overqualified for my talents, and I will be just fine as your assistant.”
Although Wu Mengting’s words are reasonable, this is his personal assistant after all, and Chen Feng will not agree so easily. He thought about it. Finally, he said: "I will go to the company to meet her in person tomorrow. Don't tell her about this yet. After all, I may not necessarily recruit her as an assistant. I will talk about everything after I meet and talk with her tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Chen Feng turned to Sun Xiaorui on the side and asked: "Xiaorui, do you think it is appropriate for her to be my personal assistant?"
Sun Xiaorui first glanced at Wu Mengting, and then said: "It's appropriate. However, I personally think it's still a matter of trust. After all, you and she didn't know each other before. Whether you can trust her, or whether she deserves your trust, is a question."
Wu Mengting said: "She is the cousin of my best friend, and she is also a returnee from Yale University. She has been married and had children. She is mature and steady. I personally think she is completely trustworthy. If you think it is not safe, You can sign a confidentiality agreement with her before she takes up the job, so that she cannot reveal your employer's personal privacy. If she violates it, she will be punished with huge compensation."
The method of confidentiality agreement is very popular in foreign countries, but it is not very common in China. It mainly depends on the change of concept.
In the domestic workplace, there is really no such thing as keeping secrets from employers.
Being loyal to your employer or not depends entirely on your personal morality and conscience.
If someone really pays for it, it will be difficult for the workers to keep the employer secret.
So, Chen Feng really doesn't trust this kind of person who he doesn't know yet or has just met.
"Let's wait until I see her tomorrow." Chen Feng said, then turned to Sun Xiaorui and asked, "Do you have anyone to recommend?"
After Sun Xiaorui glanced at Wu Mengting again, he said: "I I don’t know many people who are suitable to be your assistant, especially women. However, Liu Ying took the initiative to contact me yesterday and asked me to help her. Say a few words in front of you and say that she still wants to be your personal assistant."
This is the first time Wu Mengting heard about this. She frowned and said, "Does she care about her children? She's only two or three months old. How to be Chen Feng's personal assistant?"
Chen Feng felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw Wu Mengting talking about Liu Ying's child, and immediately said: "She It's really inappropriate. I have clearly rejected her a long time ago."
Sun Xiaorui was also honest and said: "She told me that she can only be responsible for your internal affairs, as long as it is within the city of Xiuzhou. She can handle everything for you, so it won't delay her much in taking care of the child. After all, the child is left to the nanny and her mother most of the time during the day. As your assistant, you don't have to do things for you every day. Jin Xinyan has already told her about this. You can hire another assistant to be responsible for external affairs. In this way, she will be responsible for your internal affairs. You keep it confidential, and if you leave external affairs to another assistant, your privacy will generally not be involved, so you don’t have to worry about your privacy being leaked.”
Chen Feng was really moved when he heard what Liu Ying said. Of course, he was just attracted by Liu Ying's idea. He still couldn't let Liu Ying be his assistant. After all, Liu Ying's most important thing now was to raise their daughter well.
Wu Mengting raised her eyebrows and said, "Does Liu Ying have a good relationship with that Jin Xinyan now?"
Sun Xiaorui immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know. I Liu Ying usually doesn't have much contact with them. She sent me several messages and made a video call. I had no choice but to convey her meaning for her. "
Sun Xiaorui looked upright and said in front of Chen Feng. It's hard for Wu Mengting to say anything to her.
When Liu Ying was still in Fengmang Film and Television, Sun Xiaorui had always cooperated with Wu Mengting to suppress and exclude Liu Ying. As long as Sun Xiaorui was not stupid, she would not get involved with Liu Ying.
"If she contacts you again, tell her that it is impossible for me to agree to let her be my assistant. In addition, she cannot go out to work until the child goes to kindergarten, so she will stay at home and take care of the child. ”
Chen Feng’s words are a bit chauvinistic, but he has the confidence now. After all, everything Liu Ying has is given by him. He also gives her hundreds of thousands of living expenses every month, and she has no shortage. Money, the child is still so young, the first priority is of course taking care of the child.
"Yes, I understand." Sun Xiaorui nodded obediently in agreement.
Chen Feng asked again: "Besides Liu Ying, do you have any other recommended candidates?"
Sun Xiaorui was not stupid and shook his head immediately.
Wu Mengting is right next to her. Of course she won't be stupid enough to name all the candidates recommended by Guo Mengyao and the others. Name Liu Ying, it is enough for the time being.
Seeing this, Chen Feng and Sister Wu Mengting stopped continuing the topic.
The next day was a rainy day, and Chen Feng really didn't want to go out, but he told Wu Mengting yesterday that he would go to the company and meet You Jialing, and he still kept his word.
However, Chen Feng did not go with them.
It was almost an hour after they left, almost ten o'clock, that I drove to the company.
Chen Feng, the mysterious boss, suddenly appeared in the company, which was really not good news for the company. Starting from the front desk, everyone became nervous.
The reason is very simple. The salary of Fengmang Film and Television is so good. Everyone in the company cares about this job, and of course they don’t want to lose points in front of the boss Chen Feng.
In addition, the company's market value is now close to 2 billion, and the boss Chen Feng is only in his early thirties, so he can be said to be young, promising, and wealthy.
In addition, several people were laid off last time, and it was personally ordered by the boss Chen Feng, including the HR manager.
Of course everyone in the company is in awe of him.
As he walked in, every company employee he met greeted him respectfully. After the company expanded its recruitment last year, except for a few fishermen who were laid off not long ago, the employees generally have not changed much, so basically these employees have met the boss Chen Feng.
Now that Chen Feng was dealing with this kind of scene, he no longer felt anything at all. He just nodded slightly towards them. They had different identities. This already showed that he was very polite and cultivated.
Walking all the way to his chairman's office, Sun Xiaorui immediately came over to perform her duties as the chairman's secretary, bringing her tea and water.
In fact, she, the secretary to the board of directors, had not provided much service to Chen Feng in the company throughout the year.
Chen Feng didn't want to waste too much time in the company. After Sun Xiaorui poured him tea, he said, "Please ask You Jialing to come over."
After Sun Xiaorui agreed, he went out directly.
After waiting for less than three minutes, there was a knock on the door, followed by Sun Xiaorui who opened the door and brought You Jialing in.
You Jialing said she is 32 years old, but she obviously takes good care of herself and has a well-managed figure. She is very slim. Even though she is only wearing a black business suit, she looks like she is in her mid-twenties. Looks young.
"Chairman, we have brought you here. This is You Jialing."
After Sun Xiaorui made a brief introduction, he stood aside.
"Hello, Chairman, I am You Jialing, nice to meet you."
You Jialing smiled brightly at Chen Feng, without any restraint, and walked forward gracefully. In front of the desk, he stretched out his hand towards Chen Feng.
Seeing this, Chen Feng had no choice but to stand up from the boss's chair, reach out and shake her hand across the large desk.
“I’m glad to see you too and welcome you to our company.”
"Thank you."
You Jialing is not very beautiful, but she has an energetic and uplifting temperament and looks very confident. Coupled with her background in a prestigious school and studying abroad, people who know her will naturally He will also look up to her.
“Sit down.”
Chen Feng stretched out his hand and pointed to the sofa beside him.
You Jialing smiled slightly and went over to sit on the sofa without being polite.
Sun Xiaorui played the role of secretary very well and immediately poured her a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.
Then, Sun Xiaorui took the initiative to leave the office with a wink.
"I heard from Mengting that not long after you started working, you have already understood our company from top to bottom. Please tell me how you feel about our company."
< br>You Jialing thought that the boss, Chen Feng, was going to give her a late interview. After thinking about it for a while, she said eloquently: "The president of the company The health of the company is still relatively healthy, but I have to say that the company's profitability is somewhat lacking, which is basically supported by Mr. Wu's personal creative ability. The most profitable TV series produced by the company are all produced by Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu’s hand. This is too single-minded, which is very dangerous. To put it bluntly, if Mr. Wu resigns from our company in the future. Or leave, then our company will have no other profit points, and it will be difficult to find a gold medal screenwriter and gold medal producer like Mr. Wu.
Therefore, for the company's long-term considerations, the company must broaden its profits. Point, you have to recruit people or train screenwriters and producers yourself. In addition, the company’s treatment for employees is honest. These are too high. There are too many meal subsidies, accommodation subsidies, transportation subsidies, vacation subsidies, etc. Especially the year-end bonus for ordinary employees is actually three months’ salary. I have studied, lived and worked in America for several years. Companies rarely have such high benefits. I think it is necessary to reduce the company’s operating costs.”
Chen Feng actually feels in his heart that the benefits of the company's employees are indeed a bit high now, but he doesn't really care, as long as they don't fish for money and are worthy of the high benefits and treatment given to them by his boss.
However, this was an interview after all, so Chen Feng said calmly: "It will be difficult to lower the benefits after they have been increased. It will greatly dampen the employees' work enthusiasm, and it will also destroy me personally. and our company’s reputation.”
You Jialing smiled slightly and said: "Chairman, you are right. If the benefits are increased and suddenly dropped, it will definitely alienate the company, affect morale, and ruin the reputation of you and the company. But we can Change your thinking and want to reduce operating costs It is absolutely possible to reduce the number of employees. To be honest, if the company gives its employees such high wages, they must exert at least 90% of their working ability. But according to my observation, most of the employees in the company. Only performed 50% to 80% % work ability. There are only a few who exceed 80%, and there is probably only one who exceeds 90%, and that is Mr. Wu. "
"You mean to lay off employees, and then find ways to stimulate and improve. How intense is the employee's work?" Chen Feng asked.
You Jialing nodded and said: "Yes, there is actually no need to recruit several people for some positions in the company. They can be reduced by half. We can use the last elimination system to eliminate employees from each department every month. An employee with the lowest performance. In a few months, this can effectively reduce the company's operating costs, and at the same time stimulate employees' sense of crisis and work enthusiasm, allowing them to exert at least 80% of their work capabilities. ”
After listening to her suggestion, Chen Feng had to secretly praise him in his heart. He was indeed a corporate management talent who had gone to a capitalist country to study. He was unparalleled in squeezing the surplus value of his employees.
It's a pity that Chen Feng is not a qualified capitalist and boss now. He has already made enough through the company Fengmang Film and Television. It really doesn't matter if he appropriately distributes part of the profit to the people below.
As I said before, as long as the employees below do not fish for fish, and work hard and with a correct attitude, it will be fine.
As for You Jialing's statement that most employees in the company only exert 50% to 80% of their working ability, that may be true, but Chen Feng doesn't really care. After all, people are not machines. If you want them to come to the company with energy and high morale every day to work hard and fight for his boss to buy cars and houses and pick up more beautiful women, how is that possible?
“Your suggestion is very good, but I will not adopt it for the time being. Our company will not permanently adopt the last elimination system, but will conduct a work report system from time to time to allow employees, especially those at the supervisor level and above, to The middle and senior management report to me as the boss or the general manager. If they lose too many points during the report, they will lay off individual employees. I don't want to create too much of a sense of crisis in the company, which is not conducive to the atmosphere and business development of our company. ”
When You Jialing heard what Chen Feng said, she said with admiration and admiration: "Chairman, you are a kind and wise person. Your method is more suitable than the last-place elimination system I suggested. The last-place elimination system is too rigid." , and she is not humane, and she has lost some of her warmth."
This flattery is still quite good, but it is a pity that Chen Feng has marked her as a personal assistant because of her suggestion just now.
The reason is simple. The suggestion she just made was a bit too cold-blooded.
Of course he doesn't want to keep a cold-blooded person next to him.
