Chapter 228 New News from Enron
“Old Sun, what is Enron’s stock price today?”
“90 US dollars per share.”
Sun Zhenping, head of the hedge fund department, replied .
“It’s gone up?”
Sun Zhenping nodded and said: "Although it has risen a little, it is still far from our preset warning line, so you don't have to worry."
Xu Liang nodded, "Is there any latest news about Enron?"
“Yes.”
Sun Zhenping brought over a dozen documents.
“These are all reports about Enron by the world’s major media yesterday, but they are still clichés and there is not much valuable news.”
Xu Liang took it over and turned it over.
"Huh?"
"Enron is not an isolated case, Global Communications, Worldcom, Xerox, and Tyco are all deceiving the public"
Xu Liang read the following content There was a look of thought on his face.
“How credible is this USA Today report?”
"USA Today is also a major media in the United States. All news has a certain basis. Otherwise, it would not dare to offend so many big companies. Otherwise, just a legal lawsuit would be enough for it to pay a lot of money.
But there must be some. Exaggerated propaganda, after all, the media always likes to use some gimmicks to attract attention," Sun Zhenping said.
Xu Liang nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the phone in his pocket rang.
After returning the file to Sun Zhenping, he looked at the caller ID and did not answer it immediately.
“You should be busy first.”
After arriving at his office, he took out his mobile phone and called.
After the call was connected, Qiao Yuhui's voice came over.
“How does it feel to be the richest man?”
“It’s very bad. People who I don’t know call me and it’s really annoying.”
“I Why do you think you are showing off?" Qiao Yuhui smiled.
"It's a huge injustice. I feel it."
"I don't believe it. But forget it, 3.36 billion US dollars, you are indeed qualified to be proud."
"Haha, You man is not talking big, right? The A round of financing is 3.36 billion US dollars. Even if it is not tens of billions in the B round, it will not be much different. And this is only Hongmeng International. If you include Hongmeng China, it will definitely exceed tens of billions. < br>
So, becoming the richest man in the world is really not an unachievable goal for me," Xu Liang said with a smile.
“Okay, I believe you.”
Qiao Yuhui said, with a trace of shock still remaining in her heart.
She really didn’t expect that Hongmeng International could raise so much money.
“By the way, how is the integration of Jianlibao going?”
“With the foundation you laid earlier, the integration is going very smoothly. Currently, Jianlibao’s 13 front-line departments have been reduced to 7, 57 The number of second-tier departments has been reduced to 39.
The number of employees in Jianlibao headquarters has been reduced from 1,429 to 837.
In addition, there are six filling plants and three packaging plants with a total of 7,259 people, which has been reduced to 5,280.
Plus re-established administrative standards.
Jianlibao’s administrative expenses have been reduced by 30%, and salary expenses have been reduced by 15%. ”
“It seems that the salary expenditure has been reduced a little less? "Xu Liangdao.
According to the figures given by Qiao Yuhui, Jianlibao headquarters and front-line departments have reduced their employees by more than 20% in total, and the salary savings should also be the same number.
"I used the 5% of my saved salary to pay social security, five social insurances and one housing fund to all bottom-level employees, and added an extra 100 yuan to their salary."
"It's done well." Xu Liang said.
“Don’t you blame me for increasing my expenses?”
“Why do you blame me? Didn’t I already save 15%? Besides, now that Jianlibao has gone through such a big turmoil, increasing the salary is stable The best method for people, you did nothing wrong." Xu Liang said.
Compared to the stability of Jianlibao, millions of dollars in salary and welfare expenses are really nothing.
"I knew you would agree."
Qiao Yuhui smiled.
“Do you think I am the kind of person who spends every penny and only values short-term interests?”
“I just said, why are you still going online? By the way, I want to tell you something. I plan to hand over Jianlibao to Sun Jiaming. "Sun Jiaming? Weren't you optimistic about Xia Changsheng before?" Xu Liang asked curiously.
"Of course Xia Changsheng is also very good, but compared to Sun Jiaming, he lacks some management experience, and he is more square in doing things and lacks some flexibility. He is more suitable for serious departments such as legal affairs and quality inspection."
Xu Liang nodded.
Although he had not been in contact with Xia Changsheng for a long time, he knew that he did have this problem.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so unsociable inside Jianlibao.
In contrast, although Sun Jiaming is the core of the elite group, he has a large group of elites around him and at the same time, he can still maintain relative integrity, which is more commendable.
It’s not that he didn’t embezzle a penny, but it was always at an acceptable level.
Xu Liang did not require business managers not to take a penny. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. That is too contrary to human nature, but there must be moderation. "How are you going to arrange the two of them?"
"Sun Jiaming will serve as the CEO of Jianlibao and Xia Changsheng the chief operating officer."
"One master and one follower, with Xia Changsheng supervising Sun Jiaming?" Xu Liang said.
"Yeah."
After Xu Liang thought for a moment, "Let's try this team first and see how it works."
"I think so too."
“Have you considered CFO?”
CEO, COO and CFO, plus HR, are the four most critical positions within a company.
"I plan to recruit from the outside. Jianlibao's internal finance department has been basically wiped out after the corruption crackdown. The remaining few can't afford to take on the leading roles, so they can only recruit from the outside.
And the ones recruited here CFO has less involvement with the local area and can avoid a lot of corruption," Qiao Yu replied.
"Okay, you are responsible for this matter."
Xu Liang did not ask about the CFO again, he only wanted to see the results.
“We are laying off people on a large scale, but Sanshui didn’t say anything?”
"I asked, but I didn't say much," Qiao Yu said.
“It seems that our method worked.” Xu Liang smiled.
After reaching an agreement with the Sanshui government not to fire Jianlibao employees arbitrarily, Xu Liang conducted a background check and gathered all those related households together.
If you are really capable, manage it normally. If you are incapable and just want to earn wages, support it. If you are incapable and can still make a fuss, fire it.
The effect is very good.
"Although it works, it amplifies our business expenses."
Xu Liang said with a smile: "There are only a hundred or so people around, how much more expenses can we increase? And with them here, we can't do anything in Sanshui." It’s easy to get official support.”
Qiao Yuhui agreed.
"The management of Jianlibao has been reorganized. The next step should be product development, right?" Xu Liang said.
“Not only product research and development, but also the sale of non-core businesses. In addition, the training of ordinary Jianlibao employees must also be strengthened. There are many things to do.
But now Sun Jiaming and Xia Changsheng are responsible for these matters, so I don't need to worry too much, just focus on the general direction.
By the way, I forgot to tell you a good thing. "
"The embezzled money is back? "Xu Liang asked with a smile.
"How did you know? "
Qiao Yuhui couldn't help but ask. She didn't remember that she told Xu Liang.
"Anyway, I also stayed in Sanshui for nearly a month. There were so many people from the government and Jianlibao senior management who wanted to curry favor with me. This kind of big event was just an excuse for them to take credit for it, and Hongmeng raised US$3.36 billion. Who wouldn't? Greedy? "
"That's true. Gao Jianliang called me specifically to ask for news about you, both secretly and openly." Qiao Yuhui said with a smile.
"Just deal with it, we can't continue to invest in Sanshui."
Sanshui is too small and it is difficult to obtain the resources needed for enterprise development.
"Know."
"Tell me, how much money did we save this time?"
"69 million."
"A lot less than I imagined."
From Li Jingwei's diary It can be seen from the article that the money embezzled by these people has already exceeded 100 million.
“A lot of money has been spent long ago, and there are also some real estate such as houses, shops, and cars. If sold, it should reach 80 million.
But I don't plan to sell it, otherwise the discount will be too much.
I want to use it to reward outstanding employees, which can not only increase the cohesion of the company, but also increase the company's revenue in disguise. "
Xu Liang nodded and said, "Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Your method is good. Jianlibao really lacks an enterprising atmosphere now, and I hope it can improve this time.
Also, don’t just remember the bottom layer, the management is more important.
Although we at Hongyan are capitalists, we are not greedy and are willing to share our profits with everyone.
So we took out 10% of the options and awarded them to all management in three years. As long as they can meet the growth goals we set within three years, they can get all the options. ”
“That’s what I thought too. But I'm not going to take it out now. But have to wait half a year. ”
After thinking for a while, Xu Liang understood Qiao Yuhui’s plan.
Without the demands and misappropriation of funds by the Sanshui government, as well as the corruption from the management, Jianlibao’s net profit There will definitely be a huge leap forward.
If you divide options and set goals at this time, it will be too easy to achieve, and the effect of option rewards will not be achieved at all.
Half a year later, when everything stabilizes, is the best time to implement this strategy.
"Then let's wait half a year. By the way, has Yao Ming's endorsement contract been negotiated?"
"We have asked people from the marketing department to go there, and we are still negotiating. "
"Follow my request. I would rather pay more and sign a long-term contract."
"I have already told them."
After chatting a lot about Jianlibao, Xu Liangcai hung up the phone.
