Chapter 1162 You can do it (tenth)(1/2)
In the Starbucks at the airport, Lu Heng rubbed his brow and tried his best to relieve the pain.
In just a few days, he dealt with Zhajida, Ele.me, and Hengcheng Group.
The former was okay, he just went to check and inspect. After listening to Ye Bei's group of people give a work report, as for other more things, he didn't need to worry about it. There were people from Genesis Company responsible for supervision.
But the latter two took him a lot of effort.
After half a year of development, Ele.me has been expanding rapidly, especially after receiving huge amounts of financing.
The financial statements are certainly surprising, but the many trivial things are also exhausting.
There is no way, as the company gets bigger, all kinds of problems come one after another.
Especially in Beijing and Shanghai, the two branches under the personal control of the founder of Ele.me are on the right track, and the board of directors' proposal has been put forward again.
The proposal is simple. Ele.me now needs a real leader who is at the helm 24/7!
Lu Heng's ability is obvious to all, and no one can say anything. He has always had the overall situation under control during his tenure at Ele.me.
But some things still have flaws.
That is, Lu Heng also holds important positions in several other companies, and often leaves Ele.me due to matters in other companies.
Moreover, he had studies to worry about before, and it was even more impossible for him to devote all his energy to Ele.me.
In fact, let alone being hungry, Lu Heng's energy has also been dispersed a lot at Hengcheng Group. Fortunately, Zhao Jing, an excellent top professional manager, is taking care of it.
The consequences of being too busy and lacking time are also serious.
That is, while Lu Heng has the overall situation under control, some small problems cannot be solved in the most timely manner.
Once accumulated, it will brew into a disaster.
Even if it doesn't cause a catastrophe, it will slow down the development of the entire company.
The truth is very simple, Ele.me is a car, and there are many parts in the whole car. Once any part goes wrong, although it will not cause Ele.me to suffer, it will definitely degrade the Ele.me car.
speed.
As for the capital forces, they simply cannot bear to see the projects they have invested a lot of money in being slowed down by anything.
That prevents them from making money!
This is what several shareholders on the board of directors are most worried about. It is also true that in the past few months, they have been urging Ele.me to select a new CEO every now and then!
Whether it is internal selection, selecting one from Xiao Jianguo or Wu Mingming as CEO, or external recruitment, letting headhunting companies search for suitable candidates for Ele.me.
In short, Ele.me really needs a leader who is fully committed to him.
Whenever there is a problem, he can make timely and effective decisions, and will not let small problems slow down the overall development speed.
Lu Heng expressed his understanding of this, and he did feel tired.
He feels tired despite being so young and full of energy. You can imagine how exhausting it is to travel to several companies at the same time.
But understanding is all that matters, and Lu Heng still suppressed the pressure from the board of directors.
Lu Heng also knew that it was imperative to establish a new CEO and sole leader.
But he is not willing to recruit from outside. Wouldn't that mean that the rights of the three brothers have been emptied out?
He was willing to let Lu Heng retreat behind the scenes and share the dividends.
The premise is that Ele.me is still in his hands. No matter whether Wu Mingming or Xiao Jianguo is in power, Ele.me is still in the hands of Lu Heng.
Therefore, Lu Heng was waiting for the two of them to leave Beijing and Shanghai.
Although the report said that the branches in the two places were on the right track, Lu Heng was still a little worried.
That's why he suppressed it forcefully, just to give Wu Mingming and others more time. When they come back, Lu Heng will naturally pass on this position.
As for whether the board of directors Ji Yue, Peng Lei, and Xu Xin would be dissatisfied in the face of Lu Heng's strength, this was not something Lu Heng considered.
Ele.me belongs to the three brothers, and he is also the chairman of the board of directors, Lu Heng. If he says no, how can the three families resist?
Just a few words at most!
Even if this matter is suppressed for the time being, this is not the only big problem for Ele.me.
There was another one that Lu Heng and the others had to face head-on.
The headquarters office space is too small!
Although Xiao Jianguo and others had already rented several adjacent stores next door and connected them into one.
But in the face of the terrifying expansion of Ele.me, which has introduced external capital, the area of the headquarters is really not enough!
Just how to arrange the office space for the employees that Ele.me recruits every month has become a problem, and they are all crowded?
Just kidding!
Moreover, Ele.me is now considered a well-known Internet company. In January, it was selected as one of the top ten emerging companies by authoritative Internet newspapers. It once ranked fifth, second only to JD.com, which received investment in early 2009, and ranked second.
Chun Renren and other large companies.
And under Ele.me, there are countless Internet companies looking up to him.
Perhaps it is still incomparable to established giants such as Baidu, Tencent, and NetEase, but Ele.me has really developed unknowingly to a point that no one can ignore.
It is such an Internet company that has attracted countless people's attention. Its headquarters is located in a downtown area. The storage security of its servers is still a problem. Its front desk is less than ten square meters. Its door sign is so low that it can be stained by passers-by.
Pedestrian dust.
It is even said that its total area and level of decoration are not as generous as those of the Beijing and Shanghai branches.
How can this not make people laugh?
How can this attract high-end talents to join?
I'm afraid that when people come to your door and see your shabby appearance, they will hesitate and hesitate. Can such a small workshop really make me a lot of money?
Not to mention that when signing a contract with a partner, you are too embarrassed to bring it to the company headquarters and can only do it in the hotel.
Therefore, compared with the selection of CEO, the priority of headquarters relocation is even higher.
Lu Heng had no objection to this, but strongly agreed with the proposals of several board members.
Change, it’s time to change, it’s really time to change!
Even when Hengcheng Group rented such a large one-story office building, it felt that there was not enough office space, let alone an Internet company like Ele.me that seeks relaxation and security.
It is impossible to build an office building by yourself. Not to mention whether there is enough time, the funds alone are not available, and the money you bargained for still has to be spent wisely.
As a result, Ele.me has no choice but to look for better commercial office buildings when changing locations.
Lu Heng specifically entrusted people from the marketing department of Ele.me to take charge of this matter, and he even called several big guys in the real estate industry to ask.
It's not really asking for help from others. This kind of phone inquiry can actually shorten the distance between you and those people.
These are basically the things that give Lu Heng a headache on Ele.me.
Hengcheng Group actually didn't worry too much. It took Lu Heng a day to process all the accumulated documents that required his signature.
Then I had to discuss the details of the annual meeting of Hengcheng Group with Fang Shuxian.
We had already agreed that it would be a lively event, so we took this opportunity to spread the word to Hengcheng Group.
After talking to Fang Shuxian, I then discussed with Su Renhao from the Human Resources Department the recruitment of new employees after returning from the Spring Festival.
Another group of college students are about to graduate. For this kind of cheap labor, Hengcheng Group still wants to make the most of it.
If real gold is found from it, wouldn't it be a big profit?
It's better than always looking for headhunting companies when sending people.
At the same time, Lu Heng roped in Zhao Jing and chatted with Su Renhao about issues related to the group's talent training system.
After several years of exploration, Hengcheng Group has gained considerable experience in cultivating the backbone of 4S stores. The management of the following branches can barely achieve self-sufficiency. Even if there are problems, it can be solved by recruiting external personnel.
However, at the headquarters, it is still difficult to establish a talent training system below the ministerial level.
Department heads, business managers, team leaders, and even professional staff in some small departments are all very scarce mid-level talents.
Even if you find a headhunter or an agency for this kind of talent, it will be very difficult for them. If you do find them, the quality will vary.
After all, if someone is neither above nor below, it is difficult to judge his true talent and learning.
But the work they are responsible for cannot be said to be uncritical. If you want to revitalize a company, you cannot just rely on the top executives. Mid-level talents are the hub of communication from top to bottom.
The most important thing is that this kind of people are the most likely to change jobs.
If they want to be promoted to the senior management level, they need not only performance, but also long-term review and testing to determine whether they are really capable of managing a large department.
Therefore, after a long period of working in a job where you are unable to achieve a high level or a low level, those who are more flexible will choose to change jobs.
Anyway, the more you jump, the better your resume will be and the higher your salary will be. If you jump around, you may be able to become a senior executive with a lot of work experience.
Neither Lu Heng nor Zhao Jing wanted to see this happen.
In order to avoid this situation, establishing your own talent training system is undoubtedly the best way.
Allow ordinary employees to receive training and advance to mid-level management talents.
Only in this way can a company's vitality be ensured.
