Rebirth in the 90s: I Became the Richest Woman by Setting Up a Stall

At 35, Jiang Xiaoli went wild skiing with friends, only to die in an avalanche. She woke up to find herself back at 16, a year when her beloved mother was still alive!

Given a second chance, ...

Chapter 585 Never stop learning

During lunch, Xiao Jincheng gave a heads-up.

"Little Pear, the people in the investment promotion department are all quite well-educated and experienced, but they might be a bit arrogant. You'll have to be more tolerant of them in the future."

Jiang Xiaoli's expression was strange. "Uncle Xiao, what do you mean? Are you afraid they'll go against me?"

Xiao Jincheng sighed and put down his chopsticks. "You know your uncle doesn't have a high level of education, but nowadays, when companies want to standardize management, academic qualifications are really a hurdle. Sometimes I really have no choice."

She frowned and asked, "Uncle Xiao, no matter what, you're the big boss of Jincheng Real Estate. Are you implying they often contradict your opinions?"

"Well, sometimes it's true that I don't think things through enough," Xiao Jincheng explained.

Jiang Xiaoli understood what he meant. "Uncle Xiao, I understand what you're saying, but the reason why our Jincheng Real Estate has developed to this scale today is mainly due to our strong financial strength and your courage."

To be honest, the departure of any of these employees won't affect the current development of "Jincheng Real Estate." You really don't need to adopt such a humble attitude. The more you do, the more they'll think you can't live without them, and they'll only become more and more unreasonable in the future.

"Little Pear, I know all of this."

Xiao Jincheng gave an example: "Right now, I feel like 'Jincheng Real Estate' is a large ship setting sail, but I'm not the helmsman who can completely control the course. Especially recently, when negotiating cooperation with these foreign brands, I truly felt what it means to regret not having studied enough when you need to use it."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, let me share my thoughts. As a leader of a company, having extensive knowledge is certainly the best, but I don't think that's the most important thing. What's important is knowing people and assigning them appropriate roles."

No one is perfect, and as the company continues to grow, there will inevitably be areas where we are not skilled. As leaders, our job is simply to put the right people in the right positions and support them.

Xiao Jincheng was taken aback by her words. "Haha, Little Pear, you see things very clearly."

She smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, I just see things more clearly from an outsider's perspective."

She shared, “Actually, I’ve faced the same dilemma as you. When I first arrived in Kyoto, the growth rate of ‘Kang Li Kee’ far exceeded my expectations, and all sorts of management problems, big and small, erupted. At that time, I realized that the old methods were fine for managing a small workshop or a small factory, but they were not enough for managing a large company.”

Xiao Jincheng pressed further, "So how did you solve it?"

“Study!” Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile. “Isn’t that what my business administration major taught in college? I’ll find the answers in the books and discuss them with the teachers. There’s always a way.”

Xiao Jincheng agreed, "Little Pear, you're right. It's really impossible for a person not to study."

She nodded. "Uncle Xiao, academic qualifications are not an obstacle to success; knowledge is. As the old saying goes, one is never too old to learn. I'll recommend some easy-to-understand management books for you to read later."

This time, the student who disliked studying didn't refuse. "Alright! Little Pear is right. I really should learn something new. Society is developing too fast now. The days when I led a group of brothers to fight for work at the construction site are over."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "It's so good that you think that way!"

The two finished lunch chatting and laughing. Xiao Jincheng said, "Take a good rest at home for a few days and spend time with your mother. I'll take your aunt back to Xijing. We'll leave on Tuesday."

She asked, "Why the sudden return to Xi'an?"

Xiao Jincheng waved his hand, "It's nothing. My father-in-law hasn't been feeling well lately. We're going back to see him. It won't interfere with our business trip."

She nodded. "Okay, you can go back first. Just let me know if anything comes up."

"Okay, drive carefully on your way back."

"Jiang's Building".

Li Anting only then learned that she was going on a business trip. "Chairwoman Jiang, how long will you be gone this time?"

Jiang Xiaoli roughly estimated, "It will take at least half a month."

Li Anting was both amused and exasperated. "I don't know whether to thank you for your trust or to say that you're too trusting."

She chuckled softly, "Anything is fine, but I don't think you'd do something so stupid, do you think?"

“That’s true.” Li Anting smiled and shook his head. “Chairman Jiang, this is the profit-sharing incentive plan I’ve researched. Please take a look.”

At the last group meeting, she proposed that senior executives of each subsidiary would receive bonuses after working for a certain number of years. Under the various urgings from the heads of the various companies, Li Anting made a preliminary draft of the plan.

Jiang Xiaoli flipped through the profit-sharing plan and said, "Our group's subsidiaries operate independently, so this profit-sharing plan should be determined based on the different operating conditions of each company. This plan is too hasty."

Li Anting nodded. "I understand. I will formulate a plan based on the actual situation of each company. I just need to discuss with you the specific proportion of dividends and the issue of actual shareholding in the future."

She leaned back in her chair and thought for a moment, "No rush, I'll tell you when the year-end financial report comes out."

She suddenly smiled and asked, "An Ting, how many do you want?"

The "Jiang's Group" is a holding group, with the group's head office being the largest shareholder of all its subsidiaries.

Apart from "Jiang Li Ji" having several senior executives such as Da Fu, Han Xue, and Ming Chan as individual shareholders, all other subsidiaries under "Jiang's Group" are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the group.

The shares of the "Jiang Group" are of very high value.

Li Anting is now the president of the group company, so Jiang Xiaoli naturally asked about the group company's shares.

She could hardly believe what she was hearing. "Chairman Jiang, you mean...?"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "In the past year, the group's headquarters has grown from just administrative and financial departments to its current size. You have made great contributions. After these two years of getting to know each other, I believe I have made the right choice in you."

She stood up and walked to Li Anting's side. "Anting, are you truly willing to join the 'Jiang Group'?"

Li Anting was extremely excited, "Chairman Jiang, I, of course I'm willing!"

Jiang Xiaoli held her hand. "An Ting, I like to prepare for the worst before I act. You should know me. I won't be stingy with those close to me, but I won't be lenient with my enemies either. You understand what I mean?"

Li Anting nodded repeatedly, "Chairman Jiang, I have long regarded the group as the end of my career. I will not let you down. You can supervise me at any time!"
