Chapter 883: Discussion on Corporate Management with Zhengzheng

At that moment I lifted my chopsticks and took a bite of the vegetarian dish.

You better not say, three days without a meal.

Even the vegetarian dish can be chewed to taste like meat.

I chewed slowly,

"Jianqiang, Zhengzheng really wants to learn from me, I will pass all the accounting expertise I've accumulated over the years to Zhengzheng.

From now on at Qi He Kuang, I can let go," Xiao Feng said happily.

"Xiao Feng, Zhengzheng just returned from studying abroad, still doesn't know much about here; you must not let go," I said.

"Jianqiang, I will let go only after Zhengzheng has learned,

wait for Ding Li to return, I plan to travel with him outside; I've been too tired these years," Xiao Feng sighed.

"I don't know how Ding Li is doing out there," I said worriedly.

"You finally worry about Ding Li; indeed, they've been gone so long, why is there still no word? If it really doesn't work, I'll go to Xianggang to check," Xiao Feng said.

I shook my head,

"I'll wait until tomorrow to contact Tian Shi before deciding."

"Alright, I'll wait for your news; if it really doesn't work, we'll go to Xianggang," Xiao Feng said.

"Okay, Xiao Feng. When will you return to Qi He Kuang?" I asked.

"I plan to go back tomorrow morning, Zhengzheng and I will leave together," Xiao Feng said.

【7】 "Zhengzheng, if you really plan to go to Qi He Kuang, we must state that we cannot stay there playing for two days and then leave.

Zhengzheng, you really intend to go to Qi He Kuang; we can declare that you cannot just play there for two days and then leave.

Actually it's perfect for you to go; moreover, your hometown is Qi He Kuang, your grandfather, mother, and uncle are all buried in Qi He Kuang.

Going back will let you accompany them," I said, looking at Zhengzheng.

Zhengzheng lowered his head,

after a while, said,

"Dad, those people are all dead, you shouldn't bring them up."

"Jianqiang, why do you keep mentioning the dead? What's the point? We can just live our own lives."

"And Zhengzheng's mother, what kind of person is she? Don't you have a sense?" Xiao Feng said beside.

"Xiao Feng, I'm just trying to remind Zhengzheng that he must never forget his roots.

Zhengzheng, what have you learned in Japan over these years?" I asked, looking at Zhengzheng.

"Mainly business management," Zhengzheng replied.

"Didn't you major in art?" I said.

"No, that was just a hobby, not good for employment. Later I also studied business management."

"Woguo is the most advanced country in the world; both its technology and management are top‑notch."

"Dad, when you look back and go abroad you'll see, Woguo's factory management is truly meticulous. They all have a craftsman spirit, handling work very rigorously,

We lack this spirit; I think there are too many aspects where we need to learn from them,

This time I'm back, it's perfect to go to Qi He Kuang; I want to comprehensively improve our management level," Zhengzheng boasted proudly, praising Woguo.

Listening to Zhengzheng's proud praise, I felt very uncomfortable.

Because Woguo is indeed stronger than us in some management aspects, but not every enterprise is like that.

Many of their companies also engage in fraud.

Their so‑called craftsman spirit exists only in a few; most just muddle through the days,

and often there is internal strife.

Regarding Japanese management, I disagree somewhat; their management lacks humanity.

They consider ordinary employees not as people, but as machines.

A machine for part of the work.

When I was at Da Heng Group, I had contact with some Woguo entrepreneurs,

Their corporate executives displayed that contempt for ordinary staff.

Even disregard.

In fact, it's extremely hard for ordinary employees to get promoted in Japanese companies,

They emphasize a clan system, even hereditary succession.

What that means is that the children of ordinary workers can only tighten screws.

No hope of advancing upward,

so many people just lie flat.

There's no way out; that's why the craftsman spirit was born. It's a consolation prize for ordinary people.

Of course these opinions are just my personal views,

not representing everyone.

Some Woguo companies do fairly well; the aspects we should learn from them, we must study,

especially their dedication to research and technology; we need to learn those well.

Zhengzheng saying we're completely incompetent is just too bad; if he had actually managed our company, only then would he have the right to say such things.

Studying abroad for two years, he thinks he's already awesome.

I looked at Zhengzheng, saying nothing.

Zhengzheng saw I didn't refute him,

He continued, "Dad, you know, in modern business management, our gap with Woguo is mainly in people."

He then said: "Dad, do you know? In modern enterprise management, our gap with Woguo mainly lies in personnel."

Because some of us lack ambition,

Moreover, they do not obey management.

Why do some people not comply with management? Mainly because our company's punishment system is not strict enough.

An employee making a mistake, in Japanese companies that is a very serious matter.

They need to kneel and apologize. Even in serious cases, they must commit suicide to atone.

Otherwise, he will face the company's very harsh punishment.

Why is the suicide rate so high among Woguo people, their pressure so great, mainly because the responsibility on them is heavy.

Each person bears responsibility…."

I couldn't listen to Zhengzheng say that anymore, I waved my hand and said: "Zhengzheng, have you personally participated in corporate management in Woguo?"

Zhengzheng shook his head.

"It seems these are just hearsay."

The Woguo people have always lived on an island nation; their ethnicity is very inferior,

Because of this inferiority, they are very cruel to themselves.

The news you see is just ordinary people self-harming; why don't the higher-ups self-harm?

Especially those nobles of Woguo, or corporate executives.

They don't torture themselves? Have you thought about that?" I asked Zhengzheng.

"They do too—for example, when a company supervisor has an issue, they need to bow and apologize to employees." Zhengzheng defended.

I smiled and took another bite of food,

"Bowing is the cheapest form of apology."

They can bow, but they won't change anything.

They do well on surface formalities, but in reality they will not change anything at all.

The things they promote are just to make the subordinates extremely loyal and filial, or to repay kindness with death.

This is one of their propaganda methods.

It is always the subordinates who blame themselves.

Actually, have you considered how wide the impact of a regular employee's mistake is on whether a company's management is good or bad?

Most companies head toward destruction; the main cause is the responsibility of managers.

They lead the company toward the future; in technological innovation and the company's development direction, they are the main guides.

I am not saying ordinary employees create no value.

Rather, I am saying that bearing responsibility,

Zhengzheng, why does our Da Heng Group have problems?

Is it because the construction workers below are lazy, or because the building has problems?

No, it's not that; the main cause is my responsibility.

It is because I encountered major problems in management that caused the Group Company to have issues. Why am I telling you this,

Zhengzheng, you just mentioned management; I want to explain to you,

Do not completely deny yourself, and do not endlessly praise others.

Every place has its own management model,

Copying mechanically will only cause problems.

Also, the Woguo situation is not as perfect as their propaganda claims.

If it were truly perfect,

then our home appliances and mobile phones could never have gotten off the ground.

Look at the mobile phones and home appliances we use now—how many Woguo brands are there?

This shows that they really have problems now; it's just that their main managers are unwilling to bear responsibility, leaving it to ordinary employees.

How big a mistake can an ordinary employee make, or can he solve the company's problems by kneeling every day?

Zhengzheng remained silent after I finished speaking.
