"Chairman Li, I'm so sorry to have let you down after all these years of training me. It's true that a foreign company has contacted me and wants me to work for them, and the salary and benefits are three times higher than here."
"Where are you guys?"
"To be honest, Mr. Li, I plan to start my own business. Although I don't have much money, it's been easier to get bank loans in the last two years."
"I also plan to start my own business. After all, being your own boss is better than working for someone else!"
"Are you really planning to leave, or are you here to negotiate with me?"
"Chairman Li, we really intend to leave. We don't mean to blackmail you into giving us a raise or anything else."
"Alright then! Since that's the case, I won't keep you here. But I still have to say something: whether you go to work there or plan to start your own business, I won't have any objections. The only thing I want to tell you is that no matter where you go, don't forget who you are and what blood flows in your veins!"
"Chairman Li, please rest assured! We have all remembered this and will definitely not let you down."
"Take this to the HR department to get it sorted out in a few days!"
"yes!"
...
"Chairman Li, these are the documents that require your signature recently!"
And this is the feedback from the recently promoted managers!
"Just leave it there! By the way, your comrade said there are department heads and heads of various factories. The meeting will be held at 10 a.m. next Monday."
"yes"
...
“Mianmian, if you really intend to do this, you should know that once you give them shares, over time, you will have fewer and fewer shares, and then you will have less and less say.”
"Three of you, do you think it's faster to make money when everyone has the same goal, or when everyone has their own little schemes?"
"Of course, it's faster to make money when everyone is working together."
"This is what I'm thinking: taking advantage of this time, I plan to split up the Li Group!"
"Isn't it only been established for a few years?"
"Yes? It's only been established for a few years, but so many problems have already arisen, and people's morale is wavering."
It's fair to say that these people, who have only been trained for a short time, want to leave because of salary and benefits issues.
And even if I intend to keep them and give them better treatment, those who have ulterior motives will eventually leave, once they have them.
"So you're planning to give them shares?"
"Yes, they were given shares, so they become a part of the company. They don't receive a salary, but rather an annual bonus. Is it better to have someone else give them a higher salary, or to receive a bonus and be the owner of the company themselves?"
"If that's the case, then of course it's better to be a boss and receive dividends! Salaries only last a few years."
"Right!"
"But that means you'll earn less."
"You're wrong. When everyone is the boss, they'll be more motivated. I don't need to get the biggest share of the profits every year."
If I can maintain this for ten years, I can gradually move from the forefront to behind the scenes and just focus on investing.
And I will also be removing the name "Li Group" from now on.
"It's nothing. The Li Group is gone, what will happen then? It can't be that bad!"
"I really don't know, but if I step back from the spotlight one day, and problems arise, everyone will still turn to me, the founder of the Li Group, so it's better not to use me."
"That's true. So if you step back from the limelight, won't the legal representative and other things also need to be changed?"
"That's right. I'm giving away a portion of my shares now, and I'll gradually distribute them over the next ten years. Before long, someone will probably want to replace me."
Then, we can transfer the legal representative's status as well, so we can just be investors, making money from investments, without having to manage so many people. How easy would that be!
"If that's the case, then go ahead and do it. As long as you think it's right, I won't have any objections."
"good."
The 1990s will be over in a few years, and we'll be entering the new millennium, but the problems are only increasing.
Although the early investments in those eco-parks have now fully entered a profitable model.
Apart from Miaoshan, the others were originally joint ventures with other people. Although they each held the majority stake, they encountered the fewest problems after becoming profitable.
After all, apart from Miaoshan, the others are the farthest from Beijing, so they are not under the group's name.
As for Miaoshan Ecological Park, it was the first to be built and the first to benefit from it. However, because it involves a retirement home for elderly cadres, it is not under the group's name.
Therefore, none of these need to be addressed at present.
Fortunately, although the Li Group was established, it did not move to the Li Building.
"Xiao He, come in here for a moment!"
"Yes, Chairman Li!"
Looking at the bustling traffic in front of me, I'm thinking about how to solve the current problem!
"Chairman Li, you wanted to see me!"
"Yes, it's nothing really. I just want everyone you're having a meeting with tomorrow to meet on the top floor of the Li Building."
"Is it the newly built Li's Building?"
"yes!"
"Okay, I'll go too."
...
"Now that everyone's here, let's start by telling us what we think of this building!"
"style!"
"atmosphere!"
"Chairman Li, this building is really impressive. It has 68 floors above and below ground. It's truly magnificent."
"Yeah?"
"I wonder what Chairman Li was thinking, deciding to hold the meeting there today!"
"yes!"
"It's nothing. The building is just finished, and the renovations are almost done. We originally planned to move all the related companies into this building, but we've encountered quite a few problems recently."
I'm considering whether to move everything here together, or just rent it out directly.
Anyway, I built this building entirely on my own funds. Even if it's not used, the rent I collect each year should be quite substantial!
"No, Mr. Li, what do you mean by that? I know you paid for this building, but what's the problem with our various departments moving here?"
"Of course there are problems. Over the years, we have worked hard to cultivate talents who can stand on their own, but quite a few of them have left because of a little bit of salary and benefits."
I can't say for sure whether the Li Group building will remain the tallest in Beijing for the next three years, but I always thought that with the Li Group's development, it wouldn't be inferior to those foreign companies. But reality gave me a harsh slap in the face.
Since that's the case, I might as well see things clearly sooner and make plans accordingly.
"But Chairman Li, how can this be? We've already told our employees that we'll be moving back to the Li Group building to work soon. Wouldn't that be breaking our promise?"
