603. High-paying person
Li Yifan's statement made Li Liqiang nod. If the flat management mentioned by Li Yifan just gave him a conceptual impression of this management model, then Li Yifan's statement now made him have a concrete understanding of this management model, and no longer stay in abstract thinking, but more concrete.
"Well, I'll understand a lot when you say this. Indeed, if you manage this way, it's much better than the messy model now."
Over the past year, as the nominal helm of this family business, Li Liqiang has indeed felt a little lack of energy because of the large number of family industries.
After all, his family now manages so many industries, but he is not well-educated from a background and has received training. After all, he cannot specialize in everything. Therefore, many industries in his family make him feel a little overwhelmed and a messy situation.
Now that Li Yifan said this method of delegating power, Li Liqiang immediately felt that this method was indeed feasible, but he still had his own little concern.
"Yifan, you also know that in our family, to put it bluntly, the wineries and milk powder factories, other industries are all companies with no technical content. For example, the printing factory, although it is now profitable, it is up to our family's network to get so many orders online. And the Zhengyang Hotel, although the business is very hot now, most of them are people who come to our hotel to consume because of their face. And this year, they open.
At first, after other hotels launched seafood banquets, our business has dropped a lot. If your Uncle Yang leaves Bincheng in the future, our business will inevitably be hit a lot. If, as you said, we can recruit capable people outside to help us manage these companies, I am not worried about not being able to find anyone. After all, our country can be said to be full of talents. It is easy to find a qualified manager, but the most unpredictable thing in the world is the hearts of the people!"
Li Liqiang lit another cigarette for himself, and then expressed his concerns after the rising smoke.
Li Yifan didn't understand what his father meant at first, but when Li Liqiang expressed his worries, Li Liqiang understood and even felt a little relieved. This must be old and spicy. Although the management model he just mentioned is superior, it is based on the foundation of Western civilization.
The foundation of Western civilization is to put it bluntly, contract civilization. To put it bluntly, people like to format black and white, and then do things according to the rules, while others like to do things according to the contract.
But in China? Haha, even though I have been calling for the integration of world civilization for decades, I have not even learned the superficiality of other people's contract civilization.
In the hearts of many Chinese people these days, a contract is just a piece of waste paper. Thousands of years of history have indeed left us with many good things, but it has also left us with a lot of dregs.
For example, there are many concepts in Confucian civilization, such as the idea that scholars would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen?
To put it bluntly, it is because the Chinese people are successful and defeated. They like to be emperors too strong, which has led to the fact that our business civilization has not been developed and improved yet.
The contractor and CEO system that is well used in foreign countries will immediately change its flavor once it is introduced to China. Many traditional family businesses do not want to operate according to the popular Western elite management model, but because the ambitions of domestic elites are too great. Once they have worked in this position for a few years and become more prosperous, they often turn against each other, pull out their confidants, set up a new business, and meet their old employers in the market.
This is a matter, and it is common in China. It is more common in economically developed areas around Baodao, Xiangjiang. This is why, until now, the large wealthy families in Xiangjiang have not adopted the elite Western management model, because if this trick is used well, it will make their family business prosperous. However, if it is not used well, it will attract a wolf into the house. If the company is destroyed, it will attract a competitor to itself.
"You know that it's not only a day or two for our Chinese people to say that it's better to be a chicken head than a ox queen. The facts have proved that many people are really unreliable. For example, Lao Zhang, my friend who is in the building materials business, specially invited a manager to help manage the business because he was old. But he didn't expect that when someone got familiar with this business, he immediately took a confidant from the company and went out to set up a new business. Lao Zhang couldn't eat mutton and got a lot of money.
Instead, they have cultivated a competitor for themselves. And even if the managers we hired will not be as back as those invited by Lao Zhang, if they collude and get a personal pocket, aren’t we the ones who suffer in the end? If we hire those people with education and ability, what is they lacking in a platform. We provide him with a platform to show their talents, but what should we do if people are moved after they become full of wings? We must be careful of this?"
Li Liqiang finally expressed all his ideas. In fact, when Li Yifan and his flat management were in place, he had this idea when he was able to take the position of leaders in various departments. After all, over the years, he has contacted different levels and different visions. And after hearing more and seeing more, many things become experiences. So he was a little worried about asking a manager to lead the company. After all, people are selfish. If a person is not employed properly, it will bring disaster to the group.
"Well, these are indeed problems, but we can't stop moving forward because of these problems. Dad, do you know why those people choose to be better than be the boss of the chicken? Why did they choose to go out independently and set up a new door?"
In fact, Li Yifan also has his own opinions on such issues.
"Oh? Why?"
"To put it bluntly, it is because of the interests, because they feel that their efforts are not proportional to what they get. Just imagine, if you, as an outside leader, lead this company and make hundreds of millions of profits every year, the annual salary and bonus offered to you are only more than one million. This money seems to be a lot, but compared with the profits he has made every year, what is that? So I said, I still give too little! If you want to retain talents and use talents, then we cannot be stingy. Dad, do you know how much CEO from those large multinational companies in foreign countries make every year?"
“How much does it earn?”
"If they have a good leadership, if the company's annual profitability can reach a certain level, then they will get a 30% or even 50% upgrade of the company's total profit."
“What so many?”
At present, domestic human resources can be said to be quite cheap. The monthly salary of an ordinary worker is only seven or eight hundred yuan, or about one thousand yuan.
Li Liqiang will certainly feel distressed when hiring a senior manager. In fact, this is the main reason why contract managers have never been able to develop in China. Few big bosses of companies are willing to use the company's general profits to share the company's management.
It is precisely because such rewards are not proportional that the stories of betrayal happen frequently in the business world. There is no way for us, the rich men in China, to have a way of thinking of the small peasant landlord class.
"Haha, is it a lot? Dad, think about it. After this year, you don't care about anything. Finally, when the harvest is at the end of the year, you can take half of the company's harvest at once, and the company still belongs to you. What's the cost-effective? Moreover, the other half of the money is not all distributed to the general manager alone, but also a lot of it will be distributed to the management and operation team below so that everyone can eat meat and drink soup. At that time, do you say these middle-level managers obey the manager or you? Even if someone leads the rebellion, he will also think about the benefits he will lose, and how many people are willing to go with him at that time."
Li Yifan smiled and said to his father, "In fact, what he meant was very simple, that is, he had to support those capable people with high salaries."
These were originally successful experiences of many other companies in later generations, so he could just say that he could just do it.
For example, the leaders of Gree Air Conditioner in later generations were originally a private enterprise, but later became a state-owned enterprise. However, after becoming a state-owned enterprise, they did not fall as quickly as other state-owned enterprises because of the change in nature.
It is because they have adopted the method of supporting people with high salaries. For example, several important leaders of the company will have a certain proportion of the company's dividend rights. Although they do not have equity, this dividend rights can bring tens of millions of income to these leaders every year.
Finally, when those leaders abdicate, which one is not a billionaire worth hundreds of millions? And that company is getting bigger and bigger, and in the domestic air conditioning and refrigeration field, they even become the overlord who dominates the country.
As for those other private home appliance companies, how many of them were doing well?
This is a living example, it can be used just by taking it.
