Chapter 249: Su Xin's New Requirements

Liu Xuewei paused, seemingly weighing her words, and then continued:

"Tianqi Group is very strong, and it is involved in many industries, but if there is only one top-tier company like Tianqi Group in the market, then everywhere the eye can see, it is invincible in every field. In the long run, this is definitely not a good thing."

"When one house dominates, losing competition and losing external pressure, the interior will slowly lose its drive and stop progressing; following that, corruption will breed, and the market will gradually become a stagnant pool of water."

"Since ancient times, no matter how powerful a dynasty is, it will decline and perish because of this."

"A thousand-mile embankment collapses because of an ant hole."

"No matter how powerful a force is, it cannot withstand internal decay; Tianqi Group is the same, so we should take precautions before it is too late."

"And the way to take precautions is to maintain external competition and also maintain internal competition."

"Among them, maintaining external competition means, first, avoiding the waste of talent, letting those top talents who should be shining and generating heat enter other enterprises, instead of being wasted in our ordinary positions."

"Second, it is to leave more room for survival for other enterprises, not to follow the old path of traditional capital conglomerates, and not to monopolize the market with capital or engage in vicious competition."

"As for internal competition, that is to establish a certain elimination mechanism to avoid employees being too slack, and also to avoid applicants treating Tianqi Group as a lifelong iron rice bowl and desperately trying to squeeze into the company."

"Let's punish this with two months' salary."

Qu Yan nodded:

"The eighth level is not a king."

"Therefore, you cannot urge the former."

"You believe that whether it is enterprise development or personal development, or even the development of any force, there are three levels, and each level has different goals."

"The boss's past business philosophy..."

This made everyone gradually become a bit conceited.

And under these words from Su Xin, everyone only felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads; while their hearts tightened suddenly, they also instantly recognized their own status.

"And we are not the strong."

"This stage represents that the enterprise has already become a hegemon in a certain field, capable of setting standards for that field, driving the development of that field, and leading the direction for enterprises in that field."

"That is the normal thinking of the strong."

"I request a self-imposed penalty of three months' salary."

"I will communicate with the higher-ups, and both sides will join hands to build the entire society better together."

In the past year, Su Xin had basically not managed group affairs, and had even rarely made an appearance.

"But the traditional bottom-tier elimination system will bring too much pressure to employees, which does not conform to our company's corporate culture. I don't have a good idea for the moment and need to spend some time planning it."

"I want to make society adapt to me and push the entire society to develop in the direction I want."

After finishing, Qu Yan looked at the others.

"After becoming a hegemon in a field, we can suppress all competitors, stay far ahead of peers, and even possess a de facto monopoly position."

"Is a person not as important as a blade of grass?"

"What I want is not difficult."

"Just like the human race, when it was once weak, it hunted desperately and stored food, wishing it could eat everything edible."

"Wealth is severely imbalanced, the social structure collapses, class contradictions intensify..."

"Just like the initial Tianqi Technology Company, what was our most important task during the growth stage? Of course, it was to make money and to grow stronger."

"Of course not."

Everyone was at the highest level of Tianqi Group, all wielding immense power.

Everyone's heart felt a chill.

"Our cooperation with other enterprises has always been generous, and the order volume is large and stable; we have always been the most popular enterprise in the market. As long as we put forward this requirement, those enterprises that want to cooperate with us will definitely increase employee benefits."

"This suggestion is not bad; you can consider formulating a welfare system standard and promoting it worldwide. You all should carefully discuss the details later."

"Everyone should have heard of Cyberpunk, right?"

Of course, although everyone was nervous, they still had to answer Su Xin's question.

"The group's money is already unspendable. If we only think about making money and earning all the money in the world into our hands, what will society become?"

"At the latest in two years, if the result I want is not achieved, I will carry out a major reshuffle of the board of directors and replace them with people who can meet my requirements."

"The first level is growth and development."

And power breeds ambition and arrogance.

"But after we have become the masters of Blue Star, can we still eat all animals without restraint?"

Human nature is just like this.

"In short, starting from this year, everyone should put making money and development in second place, while the top priority is to promote environmental reform."

"Besides this, does everyone have any other suggestions?"

"To change this imbalanced phenomenon, we must either cut our various benefits or let other enterprises increase their benefits."

"And the second level is hegemony."

Added to the fact that Tianqi Group's scale was getting larger and larger, everyone's status rose accordingly. Every group director present was a top tycoon in the business world when outside, with a lofty status, highly respected, and surrounded by sycophantic voices.

In the main seat, Su Xin's face was as dark as water.

"Since everyone has nothing more to say."

"Let Long Country's geographical environment, cultural environment, social environment, business environment, legal environment, and so on, all reach a higher level."

"But..."

Everyone discussed in low voices for a few moments, but did not come up with any other good suggestions.

They knew Qu Yan was about to discipline them.

"Just now Director Liu mentioned the involution of applicants. I feel that our current welfare mechanism is indeed too attractive to those top talents."

"High salary, free room and board, and no great pressure at work; those top talents would rather become our ordinary employees. It is evident that this kind of welfare has already led to employment imbalance in the market, which in turn leads to a massive waste of our talent, and a severe shortage of talent in the outside world."

They had almost forgotten that there was still a supreme overlord above their heads.

"Next, I am putting forward new requirements for everyone's future work goals, which is..."

"Or we can formulate a new welfare system and standards, dividing the company's comprehensive welfare into different levels, which can both provide a reference for job seekers and improve the employment environment."

They would subconsciously begin to engage in internal strife, with no one willing to submit to anyone else.

"Furthermore, regarding the recruitment system and elimination mechanism, I will seriously think about adjustments after the meeting."

"When capital develops to the extreme, it will create a Cyberpunk-style social structure."

"We have become overlords in many fields, and with advantages even greater than the original overlords of each field, plus our multi-field integration, as well as massive capital, the strongest technical advantages, and invincible R&D speed."

"Of course we cannot; instead, we must protect animals, protect plants, and protect the environment. When some people secretly hunt rare protected animals or damage rare protected plants, they are severely punished by law. Why is that?"

Thinking to themselves, they began to organize their words, and one by one, they spoke up:

"It can even be said that we have already effectively grasped the economic lifeline of the entire world."

"With the improvement of welfare grades in other enterprises, plus our stable cooperation, the development prospects are not bad, and the job attractiveness will not be much worse than ours."

"One must look at the long term..."

"That is to maintain a good ecology, so that humanity can survive better and for longer."

"Moreover, our development speed is even more rapid; one cutting-edge technology after another is being released, and one major project after another is poised for action."

"However, as the Chief Human Resources Officer, you bear the primary responsibility for human resources strategy and should look further ahead. You also have an obligation to remind me; on this point, you have indeed neglected your duty."

"As the group's Chief Human Resources Officer, I did not proactively plan these things, but instead waited for the boss to bring it up before thinking of this problem. This matter is my serious dereliction of duty."

"To put it bluntly, from ancient times to the present, only Tianqi Group has possessed such a status."

"And the support I give everyone is that you may freely allocate up to 50% of the group's annual profits, whether it is for charity, funding startups, voluntary construction, or even scattering money on the street; it is up to you to arrange."

"After those top talents discover that Tianqi Group does not have suitable positions, they will naturally flow into those enterprises instead of coming to Tianqi Group's ordinary positions to waste their time."

"The former is almost impossible; everyone is happy to accept increased welfare, but absolutely no one is willing to accept reduced welfare."

"Then let me state my opinion."

"I suggest that we can put forward requirements to partner enterprises; only enterprises that meet certain conditions in terms of employee welfare are qualified to be included in Tianqi Group's list of partners."

"I don't care about the process, only the result."

"The issue of the elimination mechanism is not your fault; it was I who originally requested that no elimination mechanism be formulated."

"While we make money, we must push this world in the direction we want, making the ecology of this world increasingly better."

"Of course, it is difficult to push these things relying solely on our group's power, and it is impossible for us to take on such huge responsibilities voluntarily."

Even Liu Qingli could not necessarily suppress them; after all, although they were half a level lower than Liu Qingli, they were at least presidents of several major key subsidiaries, managing companies with trillions in revenue. In terms of prestige and status, they were not much worse than Liu Qingli, the group CEO.

"After the standards are formulated, we can put forward mandatory requirements to all partner enterprises and include welfare grades in the scope of partner assessment."

"Many people often say that people need to adapt to society, rather than letting society adapt to people."

"This is the stage where most enterprises are."

"Having become absolute kings, we cannot be like before, only thinking about simply making money, expanding, and dominating one field after another."

"Such as the former Apple, ASML, Microsoft, etc., they were all once overlords in their respective fields, only now they have all been unhorsed and declined by Tianqi Group."

"I don't think that is a good future. We are now the kings of the business world. Whether out of a sense of responsibility or for the sake of our own future living environment, our vision must be further ahead."

"Now we are the same."

Their own status, position, and honor could be easily bestowed by Qu Yan, and could also be easily stripped away.

"We must occupy every business market as much as possible, earn profits, and expand our scale."

"Do you have any other opinions?"

Seeing this, Su Xin spoke up:

"The money of the whole world is almost ours to take, and the enterprises of the whole world are trembling at our feet, not even daring to look up."

"In the commercial market, our economic strength is far stronger than the power of any single country."

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, hidden dangers..."

They were merely management personnel that Su Xin could appoint with a casual word and also dismiss with a casual word; they had no shares, and not even any core competitiveness.

"For example, I want to see the sky be blue, the water be clear, the air be fresh, the environment be beautiful, the food be healthy, the people be friendly, traffic no longer congested, and it being convenient to go anywhere, and so on."
