Gao Zhiwei's face darkened when he saw so many people. He picked up a folder and started looking through the list inside.
Seeing Gao Zhiwei panic, Wang Youchao revealed a victorious smile. Who wouldn't panic in this situation?
This is half of the management team, plus the agreement he holds with 1,500 people who are committed to standing together through thick and thin. As the saying goes, a big store bullies its customers, and a big customer bullies the store. Now is the time for the big customer to bully the store.
Lu Feng's face was ashen as he brought up the topic one last time: "I'll ask you one last question. Who supports him? Raise your hand, state your name and department. Send someone from HR to write it down."
The crowd was slightly uneasy, looking at each other. They thought that raising their hands would scare Lu Feng away, but they didn't expect to have to write down names.
With pens and paper placed in front of them, a marketing manager at the front hesitated for a moment before writing his name down. A dozen minutes later, more than a hundred people had signed their names.
"President Lu, my conditions are not unreasonable at all; they can contribute to the factory's development..."
Before Wang Youchao could finish speaking, Lu Feng interrupted him, shouting, "Expel all of these people! And those who signed the agreement, expel them as well!"
The entire room fell silent; everyone stared wide-eyed, wondering if they had misheard.
Not to mention the people below, Gao Zhiwei was stunned on the stage. These people combined had dismissed more than half of Jiaming Foods' management team, and with more than a dozen factories, they were truly left with no one to command.
Wang Youchao realized what was happening, stood up and shouted, "Let's go! Who's afraid of who? He'll be begging us to come back one day. Let's go now!"
The crowd dispersed in a rush, and a few minutes later, only half the people remained. Gao Zhiwei hurriedly sat down and said, "President Lu, this will cause a huge mess. We can't be so forceful; we need to be gentler and gradually break them down."
Lu Feng raised his hand to stop him from speaking and said, "You not only need to make these people feel the pain, but also make others feel the pain. Hesitation will only lead to more trouble. Don't worry, those who leave are mostly low- to mid-level performers, who were supposed to be eliminated anyway."
Seeing his confident expression, Gao Zhiwei, despite his intuition telling him that trouble was brewing, still chose to believe him.
"Finance, notify the other factories to process the resignation procedures for these people. HR should also inform them that due to a large number of vacant management positions, there will be a large number of promotions soon. However, there is a condition: if any supervisor fails to perform their duties, or if any employee is absent, late, or spreads rumors, they will be dismissed!"
"We will promote a large number of hardworking and dedicated employees. We will be bold in giving new opportunities to lower-level managers and replace them when necessary. At the same time, I am announcing a change to the management shareholding system, implementing an AB share system. Starting from the first of next month, all management shares will be held without any rights. An incentive equity pool will be established, and the shares will be diluted as needed because we are building our headquarters next year."
Lu Feng flipped through the documents in his hand, looked at the slightly uneasy crowd below, and said, "I originally thought of handing this matter over to General Manager Gao and General Manager Du. Now that the market is basically stable, we can just proceed with the market expansion and product development step by step, and also integrate into the group. I didn't expect that they couldn't even handle this simple matter."
Gao Zhiwei lowered his head. If a company experiences a major crisis, ten Gao Zhiweis are not as good as one Lu Feng.
"If he can't handle it, I'll help him for a couple more days. As for financing, we definitely need to raise funds. I'll be frank with everyone, I can't stay in the food industry. Stepping down from management, or even the board of directors, is foreseeable. Jiaming Foods must find a suitable personnel mechanism to operate for the next few years and find suitable managers."
Lu Feng announced a series of internal restructuring mechanisms, which must be fully automated from the moment a person is selected to join the factory, through assessment and supervision, promotion and salary increase, all the way to dismissal or resignation.
The departure of some personnel should not render a company unable to function properly. This is a fatal flaw for large companies, leading to fragmentation and assembly-line operations.
In just one morning, most of Jiaming Foods' management team packed up and left. Such a large-scale layoff was unheard of. I heard that in some departments, only a dozen or so ordinary employees were left, and all the managers were fired.
Zhang Fengxia, who studied management, was stunned when she heard the news. This scale was practically suicidal!
