Chapter 486: Excessive Greed
After returning home, Xu Liang thought for a moment, looked at the time, and called Xie Wen.
"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?"
"Old Xie, I heard some news outside today about the No. 1 store." Xu Liang said.
Xie Wen is the COO of Hongmeng. He wants to rectify the shackles within the No. 1 store. He is just starting to implement it. It is up to Xie Wen to preside over the specific implementation.
So Xu Liang didn't intend to hide it from him.
“You already know?”
Xie Wen’s words made Xu Liang stunned for a moment. This obviously had profound meaning.
Xu Liangliang was moved, "You continue."
"I just received a report from Hanxing this afternoon. The corruption within No. 1 Store, especially the corruption in the purchasing department, is really serious. Shocking. ”
Xu Liang's expression darkened.
Procurement is the place where corruption is most likely to breed.
In order to get their products sold in Yihaodian, suppliers will do anything to give away money and women.
Every year within No. 1 Store, buyers and even purchasing managers are investigated and punished.
“How bad is it?”
"Vice President of No. 1 Store, General Manager of Purchasing Department Kuang Shiguo."
"Is there any problem with Qian Santai?"
"From the evidence found so far by the Supervision Department, he has not Problem."
Xu Liangliang breathed a sigh of relief. If Qian Santai has a problem, then No. 1 Store will undergo some big changes. When Hongmeng is about to conduct Series B financing, it is not a good thing to make such a big noise.
"Is Xu Hanxing at your place?"
"He kept calling your number in the afternoon, but he didn't get through. He came to me first, and now we are at the company headquarters together."
Xu Liang took out his mobile phone and saw that it was turned off and had no battery. .
Because they were visiting the Jiang family to buy gifts in the afternoon, Lu Xiaoying and Huo Gang were sent back to rest and could not tell them.
"Now, I'll be there right away."
Xu Liang hurried out of the house.
When we drove to Hongmeng headquarters, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Most of the entire building was dark, with only a few scattered lights still on.
Xie Wen’s office is one of them.
Xu Liang came in a hurry.
“Mr. Xu!”
Xie Wen and a serious-looking middle-aged man in a black suit came forward.
The latter is Xu Hanxing, the director of the Hongmeng Supervision Department. Xu Liang did not hesitate to use Jiang Xiaoyang's connections to poach capable officers from within the Beijing Public Security System.
Responsible for the entire internal investigation of China Hongmeng.
The Supervision Department is the most special department in the entire Hongmeng. It is only responsible to Xu Liang. Internal promotions are not managed by the company, but belong to Xu Liang's Human Resources Department of the President's Office.
Similar institutions are found in every subsidiary.
Xu Liang was not polite to them and asked them to sit down.
“Where are the things?”
Xu Hanxing quickly placed the prepared materials in front of Xu Liang.
After holding it in his hand and looking through it carefully, Xu Liang's expression became increasingly ugly.
“Okay, that’s great. Originally, I thought there was just a small problem of ‘killing good people and taking credit’ inside No. 1 Store, but I never expected that it was almost rotten to the core.”
< br>
Throw away the material.
"Old Xu, are these things true?"
"Yes."
"Very good. You called the ** branch in my name and asked me Catch them all."
"Yes."
Xu Hanxing said happily.
When the Supervision Department was first established, the big boss made an agreement that as long as it was a corruption case they discovered, half of the illegal gains recovered would be handed over and half would go to their Supervision Department as bonuses.
The amount of embezzlement they found this time was tens of millions, half of which was five million, even if there was a slight discrepancy. The people in their supervision department each have an income of tens of thousands of dollars.
This is 2003, and the basic salary for the previous year and the next in the Supervision Department combined is only 20,000 to 30,000.
One trip will last for a year or two, who wouldn’t?
"Go."
Xu Liang waved his hand, and Xu Han left happily.
After the office became quiet.
"Mr. Xu, this is a critical moment for our Series B financing, should we keep a low profile?"
"Don't worry. Investigating corruption and ensuring the company's internal health will only promote the company. Development, even if people know about it, will only praise it and not slander it.”
After a pause, Xu Liang's tone turned cold.
“If someone makes a fuss about this, then he is not worthy of becoming a shareholder of Hongmeng. Lao Xie, there are now more than 50 institutions that want to invest in Hongmeng. It’s time to screen them.”
After Xie Wen briefly thought about it, he did not continue the issue.
“I heard you just now, besides corruption, there are also internal problems in No. 1 Haodian?”
After Xu Liang nodded, “I also got the news by chance. No. 1 Haodian offline boutique In order to seek company options and internal promotions, some employees use their family connections to use the money from the public institutions to purchase benefits for employees to purchase our products and increase the revenue of a single store
Although it has not been verified yet, it should be real. ”
Xie Wen does not doubt Xu Liang’s words. There are not many other things in the capital but many state-owned enterprises and many officials.
And now Hongmeng is the world’s top technology company, and everyone can see it. The option value is extremely high and the future is bright.
It is not ruled out that some people want to participate in the gold plating and gain some benefits at the same time.
"What are you going to do? Fired? "Xie Wen asked.
"I'm a little confused now.
There are two main points.
First, these people did not violate the company's regulations. Although these people took advantage of their family connections, it is true that It has created revenue for the company.
Secondly, these people have strong backgrounds and will bring certain convenience to the development of No. 1 Store.
But if they are not dealt with, it will be detrimental to them. The other employees are unfair.”
Of course, what Xu Liang cares about is not fairness. There is no absolute fairness in this world.
What he really cares about is whether the company's internal competition mechanism will turn into a backwater.
The resources enjoyed by the second generation officials far exceed those of ordinary people.
They can easily get promoted with the help of their family's resources, which is incomparable to ordinary people. When these people with strong backgrounds take up all the positions, it will be difficult for the people behind to come up.
If the company's promotion mechanism becomes a stagnant water, then the company is not far from bankruptcy.
Having worked together for many years, Xie Wen also understands Xu Liang’s current thoughts very well.
After pondering for a while.
"Mr. Xu, it is difficult to change the mechanism of promotion based on performance."
The more complex something is, the more room it will give people to manipulate. Xu Liang knows this very well.
"Performance is performance, and we cannot punish others because they use family connections to achieve performance. This is unrealistic and can easily offend people.
However, we can set up a separate department to handle these second-generation officials They are all put in, and they are given certain options according to regulations, but they are not given specific management rights." It’s a small difference, but these people have a strong background. Wouldn’t it be too wasteful to just keep them for nothing?”
When Xie Wen heard this, the corner of his mouth trembled.
He finally understood why the big boss was so entangled in this matter.
The emotion is to want the horse to run but not to feed the grass.
I plan to take all the face and lizi.
"Mr. Xu, the overall situation is more important!"
Xu Liang also knew that he was indeed greedy and smiled.
“Then put all these people in the crisis public relations department, they can still play some role at critical moments.”
Hearing this, Xie Wen sighed inwardly.
The big boss must have thought of a countermeasure for a long time, but for a moment he didn't think of a way to take advantage of both sides, so he came to ask for advice.
Seeing that he had no good ideas, he stopped.
But it was hard for him to say anything.
Businessmen, who is not greedy?
"Mr. Xu, not all second-generation officials are mediocre. When you meet those who are capable..."
Xu Liang waved his hand to interrupt him.
"No, I don't care whether this second-generation official has the ability or not. Send them all to the crisis public relations department."
Xu Liang's tone was firm and could not be refuted.
The second generation of officials is scary, the more capable they are, the scarier they are.
Because capable people have ambitions.
When he enters Hongmeng’s management step by step, he will definitely want to take charge.
Are you Xu Liang the boss?
Haha, there are ways to make you compromise.
Lao Ma, Dongzi’s affairs are incomprehensible to ordinary people, but Xu Liang was also a wealthy person in his previous life, so he knew some things clearly.
Therefore, whether it is Hongmeng, Hongyan, New Dream or Jianlibao, the senior management are all ordinary people.
Only Hanhua Capital is an exception.
The reason is also very simple. Xu Liang’s own investment relied entirely on the memory of his previous life.
Twenty years later, even if no one forces him, he will still give up.
Seeing how determined he was, Xie Wen didn’t really understand, but he didn’t say much.
Two days passed quickly.
Wangjing Hengan Building.
This is an 18-story office building with approximately 50,000 square meters of office area. It was just completed last year.
Because it is not far from Yihaodian’s Beijing Logistics Center and Hongmeng Headquarters, at the beginning of this year, I was selected by Yihaodian and moved the headquarters here.
When Xu Liang got out of the car, he saw Qian Santai and others waiting in front of the door.
At a quick glance, almost all the senior executives above the director of No. 1 store are here.
Xu Liang’s expression remained unchanged, but a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He invited these people here not to welcome and send them there, but to make money for him.
Although he was dissatisfied, he still hid his emotions very well.
"Mr. Xu, welcome to our No. 1 store to inspect our work."
Qian Santai greeted him enthusiastically.
Xu Liang smiled and held his right hand, "Old Qian, your weight is just like the performance of the No. 1 store, it has skyrocketed."
Everyone heard this and laughed in agreement. laughed.
“I will gain weight even if I drink cold water. But thanks to your wise leadership, Mr. Xu, our No. 1 store is where we are now.”
“Haha, old money, you are still like this Modesty.”
After patting Qian Santai's forearm to show his intimacy, Xu Liang turned his eyes and shook hands with other senior executives of the company.
Soon he came to a middle-aged man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and gold-rimmed glasses.
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
"Mr. Zhao Liangdong, Mr. Zhao, the business of No. 1 boutique is developing very quickly in your hands."
In Zhao Liangdong's heart I am overjoyed that there are hundreds of vice-president-level executives like him in Hongmeng headquarters, and not many of them can be remembered by Mr. Xu.
"Thank you for the award. It is because of your wise leadership and the support of Mr. Qian that our No. 1 boutique has developed rapidly."
Xu Liang nodded with a smile and said nothing more.
After shaking hands with the remaining people, he led everyone into the building.
Come to the office area.
"Mr. Xu is here to visit everyone." Qian Santai shouted.
Everyone in the office area who had noticed the movement here quickly stood up and looked over.
As employees of Hongmeng, what they have heard most about since entering the company is the legendary entrepreneurial deeds of the big boss. Especially after there were a lot of articles in the newspapers some time ago about big bosses making a lot of money by shorting oil, this legend has been further fueled.
So almost all Hongmeng employees, whether they are No. 1 store or other subsidiaries, are very curious about the big boss Xu Liang.
Wow….
I don’t know who started first.
Thunderous applause soon resounded throughout the entire office area.
Even other employees who got the news ran up from upstairs or downstairs, and the originally spacious room quickly became full of people.
"Mr. Xu, they all admire you. Why don't you tell everyone a few words?" Qian Santai said in a low voice.
