Sitting in his office, Xing Baohua first got a clear understanding of the basic situation.
Once this basic situation was investigated, all the factions within the company became clear.
Of course, this is a common problem for large companies, a problem that no one in the world can solve.
Wherever there are people, there is a social dynamic; and wherever there is a social dynamic, there will inevitably be conflict. Even a small company with a dozen or so people cannot avoid it.
How can a leader demonstrate their ability without forming cliques? Even if there is competition, you need people to help you!
When the rice business was initially split up, it was divided into two brands with the same management team: Rice Factory and Rice Technology.
When Xing Baohua was not at home, Liu Quan served as the vice president of Dami Technology and helped him keep an eye on things.
It's convenient to use the old brothers who started the business with you, but what about the subordinates? Don't you also need a few easy-to-use subordinates?
The company has several departments, including Marketing and Sales, Foreign Trade, Public Relations, Advertising, Finance, Human Resources, and Logistics.
Xing Baohua acknowledged that Liu Quan was indeed lacking in management skills, but what could he do when Liu Quan was so loyal? Therefore, in the initial stages, Xing Baohua preferred to use loyal people rather than virtuous ones.
Even if there are problems, timely discovery and resolution can correct the course, in Xing Baohua's view.
We can just switch Liu Quan when a suitable position becomes available.
Xing Baohua planned to talk to Liu Quan about this matter first, and then hold a high-level meeting to prepare for a one-size-fits-all approach.
Those who resign voluntarily will not be pursued; those who do not want to be moved will be dealt with accordingly.
Call Liu Quan and invite him to dinner at the old restaurant in town.
When the rice factory was first built in Shangguzhuang, they often ate at this restaurant. It was close by, and convenient.
Since we got our own cafeteria, I rarely eat at the old restaurants anymore. Besides, now that my status has improved, it would seem beneath me to come here.
At noon, Liu Quan came over and, seeing Xing Baohua, said with a smile, "Why did you decide to eat here?"
"I don't know why I thought of the Sichuan peppercorn-fried tofu here that day. I happened to be back, so I thought I'd stop by and satisfy my craving." Xing Baohua asked Liu Quan to sit down and ordered two cases of wine, one for each of them.
"Liuquan's beer isn't as good as Green Orchid." Liu Quan had just sat down when he stood up again, opened the beer, poured a glass for Xing Baohua, and placed the bottle in front of him.
"Quanzi, four years ago, you, me, and Xu Shuai started from the maintenance department of the machinery factory. Did you ever imagine what today would be like?" Xing Baohua picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp in front of Liu Quan.
"I never dreamed of this! Back then, everyone was fighting tooth and nail for a single job spot, and today's achievements are all thanks to your leadership. I admire you. Just say what you have to say. I'll say it again: wherever you point, I'll go, without hesitation or a second thought, even if it means dying without regret!"
After saying this, Liu Quan picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. What he had just said was a continued expression of loyalty to Xing Baohua.
“I know you have some shortcomings in management, and you’ll have to be replaced sooner or later, but there’s no suitable candidate. Dami Technology has run into some problems, whether you knew about them or not, I won’t hold you responsible, because I bear some responsibility for them. But remember, this is a one-time exception,” Xing Baohua said.
"Okay, what problems are occurring within the company?"
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's eat first. Since we're back in our old base, let's reminisce about the past and the hardships we faced when we started our business," Xing Baohua said, pointing to the dishes on the table.
After having lunch with Liu Quan for about two hours, Xing Baohua returned to the company. He didn't dare to drink too much at noon, and each of them only drank one case of liquor.
Slightly drunk, Xing Baohua felt much worse physically, and was going to the toilet quite often.
I had just taken a nap in my boss's chair when my phone rang. It was Wei Laisong calling.
Where is it?
"Office? Something's up!"
"Have you forgotten what happened yesterday?" Wei Laisong said.
"What's up?" Xing Baohua asked.
“I knew you’d forgotten. Didn’t you tell Xiaofei yesterday to become the agent for Third Brother’s side? Do you have time now? I’ll have her go over and see how to cooperate, and try to sign the agency contract as soon as possible,” Wei Laisong said.
"Okay! Let's go!" Xing Baohua said and hung up the phone.
Less than two minutes later, the secretariat called to say that a Ms. Lu was coming to visit and that an appointment had already been made.
Xing Baohua couldn't help but smile. This guy must have been waiting for him downstairs for a long time, using Wei Laisong as a stepping stone!
Lu Yafei didn't come alone; she personally brought two middle-aged people with her.
After sitting down, Lu Yafei introduced them: one was surnamed Liu, and the other was surnamed Song.
That is, Lu Yafei contacted Xing Baohua last night and got an agency opportunity from him. Rice electronic products are so popular! Even second-hand products are very valuable.
For external sales, everything is pre-ordered; it's not a matter of whoever offers the highest price gets the goods.
Therefore, they attached great importance to this business. Lu Yafei also found a few wealthy friends to form a company specifically to liaise with Xing Baohua.
"Hey, Mr. Xing, you must have had quite a bit to drink at lunch!" Lu Yafei, ever the smooth talker, noticed Xing Baohua's relaxed state and the smell of alcohol on his breath and said with a smile.
"I didn't drink much, it won't delay our business." Xing Baohua said, then used the phone on his desk to call someone to bring tea and water, and also called Yang Jing from the outside department.
I roughly told Yang Jing that we should give up the market on Third Brother's side and let these people handle it.
Yang Jing was in a bit of a dilemma. Although things were a bit chaotic on Third Brother's side, a lot of goods were being shipped there, especially junk that was being sold through smuggling channels.
If you're buying from a legitimate distributor and they have quality products, then don't bother with this.
Perhaps sensing Yang Jing's predicament, Xing Baohua said, "Don't worry about how they act as agents. As long as it's goods, let them handle it. Negotiate between parallel imports and genuine products." After saying this, Xing Baohua lit a cigarette and then lost his desire to drink the tea.
