One good thing about a capitalist region like Hong Kong is that it has a mature professional management system.
Loyalty or not does not matter to these people at work. Since the employer pays them, they will do their job well, including abiding by confidentiality clauses and non-competition clauses.
To them it is not important who their boss is, what is important is who pays them.
Only in TV dramas can you see the phenomenon where a new boss arrives, the company's middle-level managers throw down their documents and name badges, shout "I quit", and then ask the new boss to step down.
In reality, if you don’t want to do it, then don’t do it. There isn’t much else in Hong Kong, but there are a lot of professional managers. As long as the salary is high enough, there will be plenty of “loyalty” among the working emperors.
However, this professional manager system has not been well accepted in China. Perhaps the failure of cooperation between the two parties is largely due to the messy affairs of family businesses.
But it also has a lot to do with the poor professional ethics of domestic professional managers.
Many people go to work in a company, dig up customer resources, and then immediately jump ship to work on their own and become their own boss, only to end up squeezing out their original company.
This is not allowed in other countries. You can resign, but the contract stipulates that you are not allowed to work in the same industry within a certain number of years, otherwise you may be fined and imprisoned.
There is one more.
If a factory is completely handed over to a professional manager, the possible consequence is that this professional manager will find ways to drain your factory or company and take the boss's sister-in-law away.
Zhejiang businessmen have all learned painful lessons.
This is also the reason why most Zhejiang businessmen prefer family-style businesses, with sons inheriting their fathers' businesses. Even the CEO of Wahaha handed over the company to his daughter.
I really don't trust outsiders.
But in Hong Kong, as long as Chen Xia gives them reasonable compensation, few people will cause trouble, so this group of ministers left by the "previous emperor" can be used with confidence.
Even if you want to cause trouble, Hong Kong has sound laws and lawsuits can exhaust you.
If that doesn't work, what are all those "societies" for? Do the wealthy have to do this dirty work themselves? Just find a dark and windy night and take them to the high seas and plant lotus flowers.
Wei Yunhai left after the handover was completed.
He didn't know that his luck had been tampered with by someone, otherwise he could have held on for another two years. By then, the real estate and stock markets would have boomed, and he would have made a huge profit that would have exceeded his original purchase price.
Later, Ogilvy Pharmaceuticals entered the mainland, which was considered to be another broad world. Not only did it turn losses into profits, but it also became a star pharmaceutical company in China.
So sometimes, misfortune often brings blessing, and blessing often brings misfortune. Who can tell what the future will be like? Everything is fate.
After the original boss left, the only people left in the conference room were the Chen family's takeover team and the middle-level managers of these pharmaceutical companies.
Chen Defa sat in the main seat without saying a word. Now it was time for Chen Shuqin to get a comprehensive understanding of the company and its employees.
"Vice President Ye, everyone, I'm here to guarantee that your positions and salaries will remain unchanged, but this will be for three months. After three months, I will evaluate your abilities. If you meet the requirements, I will definitely welcome you to stay. If you don't, I can only apologize.
In addition, you don't have to worry about funding. If we want to resume production now, Vice President Ye, how much more funding do you think we need?"
Ye Shirong quickly replied: "We don't need too much capital. After we pay off the 20 million yuan we owe to the supplier, we can continue our cooperation. Moreover, according to industry rules, we don't settle the payment in cash. There is a certain repayment period.
The main problem now is not production, but sales. Otherwise, where will we sell the drugs we produce? We haven't been able to hold onto the Southeast Asian market before, and European and American countries won't import. Our market in Hong Kong is too small."
Chen Xia interrupted at this time:
"There are two solutions. One is to develop new products, and the other is to rebuild a new factory in mainland China dedicated to producing a new drug."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Xia: New product? Mainland?
This is going to be earth-shaking.
Ye Shirong was sweating profusely. After all, he was just a technical talent and was not very proficient in management. The original administrative and sales business were all managed by the three Wei brothers, and he was only in charge of production.
"Mr. Chen, could you explain it to me? I'm sorry we didn't understand."
Chen Xia, who was sitting next to the great grandfather, suddenly sat up straight, looked at everyone and said:
"Ogilvy Pharmaceuticals, oh no, it should be called Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceuticals, will soon be divided into two phases. The first phase is to establish Hong Kong as the headquarters. Amoxicillin is not a high-tech drug these days and can be produced in any country, so the product's competitive advantage will be lost.
So we need to develop a new drug, an antibiotic that's ahead of the competition, so we can sell it. By then, I'm afraid the demand will outstrip supply."
Ye Shirong was a little unconvinced and reminded him, "Mr. Chen, the investment and time cost of developing a new drug is too huge. It is not something a small factory like ours can afford."
"Don't bother with that. Our Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company has already applied for a patent for a new drug that specializes in treating stomach problems, so we will produce this drug first.
"Then it's up to our technical department. I can provide a full set of information, even physical objects. Can you understand the production process and replicate it?"
Chen Xia looked at Qian Yutang, the director of the technical department, a middle-aged man around 40 years old, who according to information also graduated from a university in England.
Qian Yutang looked a little surprised, but quickly calmed down. "Mr. Chen, while developing a new drug is a bit difficult, our technical department is more than capable of researching and recreating a generic drug. Don't worry about that."
Chen Xia believed this. If his future brother-in-law, a mainland undergraduate, could successfully imitate it, let alone these technicians who graduated from prestigious universities? It just took time.
Chen Xia responded with a smile: "That's good, you will start working next. As for what kind of drugs to research and imitate, we can discuss it privately.
There is another thing. Vice President Ye just said that the market capacity in Hong Kong is too small and the competition is too fierce, so we have to find a way to set up a factory in the mainland. Now the mainland is short of all kinds of medicines. The amoxicillin we produce cannot be sold in Hong Kong, but it cannot be bought in the mainland.
The mainland has a population of one billion, and the market is so huge that we can't even imagine it. If we don't capture this market, it will sooner or later be taken over by other pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, our next priority is to establish a pharmaceutical factory in the mainland."
As soon as these words were spoken, applause broke out in the conference room. Chen Xia's words set the tone for Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical's future work.
