Wang Tianxiao believes that a good corporate culture is not something that a few people decide on a whim, but rather an expression of the collective individual culture of all companies.
In addition, institutionalization and standardization are equally important.
Rules and regulations are like laws for a company. Their purpose is not to restrict what employees do, but rather to protect their interests.
Without institutional constraints, company managers will not restrain themselves. When they are in a position of power, they can arbitrarily issue any unreasonable orders to their employees and they will not be punished because there is nothing to restrain them.
With a system in place, everyone must follow it, ensuring that corporate management moves beyond simply managing people and instead operates entirely according to rules and regulations. Anyone who violates the system will be punished and dealt with accordingly.
In addition, standardization is equally important.
For example, in the early years, because national standards and European standards were not widely accepted, many parts and components were directly manufactured in-house. As a result, many machines broke down, and it was often difficult to find a suitable screw even after searching for a long time.
Once the standards are established, you simply need to determine the required specifications of screws or other accessories, then go and buy them; they will definitely be usable. This greatly improves efficiency, reduces the production of many useless products, and further promotes standardized machinery.
It has promoted the development of various standard mechanical industries.
On a smaller scale, this also concerns the long-term stability of every company and even every position.
In the early years, all crafts or work techniques were passed down through mentorship. The skills were in the hands of master craftsmen, and all apprentices had to learn from them in order to acquire the skills.
But as the saying goes, "If you learn from your apprentice, you'll starve yourself."
To avoid being discarded after their usefulness is over and losing their livelihood, every master will deliberately hold back a skill when teaching their apprentices. If they grow old, that's fine, but if they suddenly die, that skill will be taken to their grave.
It will never be known to anyone again.
The result is that everyone holds back some skills, leading to each generation of apprentices learning far less than the last.
Many technologies and processes cannot be easily researched and developed by one generation; they require many people to persevere and explore continuously to gain wisdom.
If it's lost, then it's truly gone.
However, if all the processes of a company are standardized, the problem will be much better.
All new employees operate according to standard operating procedures. Even without a mentor, given time, they can learn skills that are very close to those of experienced employees.
As long as the process is standardized, every new employee can learn the standard operating procedures first. There will be no need to beg and plead, treat the master to meals, kowtow and burn incense, and then work as a master's free labor for many years before finally learning a set of skills that have been castrated.
Many traditional crafts are quickly forgotten precisely because of this model.
These institutionalized and standardized things originally came from everyday life. Although they bear traces of capitalist exploitation, they still have their uses when used critically.
It can be said that it was this management model that enabled Xiao Rizi's industrial development to accelerate and become a strong player in the world's industrial development.
When a company is small, there are fewer people, so there are naturally fewer intermediaries.
It becomes very simple for information to be passed down from top to bottom.
However, if a company has a large number of employees, then one person cannot reach everyone. Therefore, the person at the top of the pyramid can only reach a few people, and then those few people reach down to form a management network.
If everyone waits for the top management of a company to make decisions, then that company will inevitably never grow very large.
Human energy is inevitably limited; how can one possibly manage so much money? Even great figures like Emperor Yongzheng and Zhuge Liang ultimately worked themselves to death because they were too hands-on.
Wang Tianxiao and Zhang Wenyuan now have a good understanding and no longer need to test each other when discussing matters; they can speak directly to each other.
Wang Tianxiao places great importance on maintaining a healthy relationship between the two of them, as well as on his own standing within the company.
It is kept within a very comfortable range.
This way, Zhang Wenyuan would need him, but wouldn't feel like he was meddling too much.
Gradually, he will relinquish control over the specific affairs of these companies, and may even no longer need to oversee the finances.
He should just act as his profit-sharing company.
His focus should return to the field of planting, which he is more accustomed to and comfortable with.
Zhang Wenyuan wanted him to stay for dinner, but he declined, saying that his wife had given him an important task that he hadn't completed yet.
It's something that really needs to be done.
Zhang Wenyuan stopped dwelling on it and joked that it was unbelievable that someone as outstanding as Wang Tianxiao was so tightly controlled by his wife.
Wang Tianxiao mocked him, saying that as a single man, he shouldn't make fun of people who have wives and children.
Zhang Wenyuan was so angry that he kept yelling.
After leaving Zhang Wenyuan's place, Wang Tianxiao went directly to the vegetable wholesale market in the east of the city.
This is the largest wholesale market in the vicinity, offering vegetables not only from various counties and cities surrounding Qingcheng, but also from other nearby provinces and cities. The variety and quantity of vegetables are abundant, basically meeting everyone's needs.
During the summer and autumn seasons, this wholesale market doesn't have such good business because people are used to eating vegetables they grow themselves and don't need to buy wholesale from places like this.
However, during the spring and winter seasons, it is difficult to find decent vegetables because the local climate is too cold, and the local vegetables all die from the cold.
Besides eating pickled and preserved vegetables, another way people can preserve vegetables is to dig a deep pit or hole in the ground and put them inside for a period of time.
