Chapter 782: 777. Preliminary Integration (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Three days later, at the Huamei Headquarters in Beijing.
After Zhang Ran finished resolving the matters concerning Yaotian Pharmaceutical, he arrived here and simultaneously summoned several people, holding meetings for two consecutive days.
During these two days, all the high-level executives at Huamei who heard the news were terrified, deeply afraid that this fire would burn them as well.
One by one, they could neither eat nor sleep well, their spirits worsening day by day.
Fortunately, nothing happened over these two days, which allowed everyone to feel slightly more at ease, but only slightly.
No one knew whether Zhang Ran would purge the internal ranks of Huamei.
It must be known that last time, because Huang Lin could be considered to have surrendered voluntarily, Zhang Ran did not take heavy action, only making minor adjustments.
Therefore, no one knew now if Zhang Ran would take this opportunity to thoroughly clean up Huamei Group so that he could control Huamei Group more conveniently.
In many matters, the interests of professional managers and shareholders are actually not aligned, and in some aspects, they are even opposite.
Even if professional managers have shares, this does not mean they will necessarily consider the overall interests of the company.
What is most important for a professional manager?
Ability?
This might be one point, but it is definitely not the most important; the most important thing is actually their reputation, or rather, the impression they leave in the eyes of the wealthy, as well as the reports they submit.
It must be known that many wealthy people actually do not possess very professional knowledge, especially in Huaxia, because the development time has been relatively short; a large part of why some wealthy people were able to get rich was due to timing and fate.
Therefore, in many cases, they do not possess a very broad perspective or a detailed understanding of the company's situation.
Perhaps what they trust most are data reports, and these are also what professional managers pursue.
If the data reports look good, it proves that they created profits for the company while managing it, even if some of those profits only appeared on the reports and only in their words, without ever being realized.
Zhang Ran is actually also growing; previously, he chose to unconditionally trust these professional managers he selected, but after experiencing one event after another, he also discovered that sometimes, one really cannot give too much power, otherwise, even those who would not have betrayed him originally will betray him under the influence of interests.
This time, Zhang Ran summoned these people together to discuss a suitable set of regulations.
Zhang Ran did not intend to keep suppressing them with brute force; there was no need for that, and it was not good for the future development of the company.
But he could not give out excessive power like before, and at the same time, supervision of the company was imperative.
However, many people also saw that Zhang Ran had other implications in this, which was that he might be paving the way for Sicheng to take charge of the Zhang Family Consortium in the future.
Even if such an incident had not occurred, Zhang Ran might still have moved against them.
Because if development continued according to the previous model, in ten or twenty years, these people's control over the company would climb once again.
By then, Zhang Ran would indeed be able to suppress them, but it would likely be difficult for Sicheng.
If Zhang Ran were to enter the fray to clean things up then, Sicheng's prestige would not be able to be established, and instead, many people would look down on him.
They would think he is just a second-generation heir relying on his father's generation, with no real ability.
Of course, these were all things everyone only thought about in their hearts; no one said them out loud—that would be foolish!
"That is all for now; to summarize, there are three points." Zhang Ran looked at everyone and began his final summary.
"The first point is that from now on, the supervision departments of each company will report directly to the Chairman of Galaxy Capital, though this is only temporary, a transition; once the Zhang Family Holding Company is established, these will all be transferred over."
"The second point is regarding finances; I have said a lot about this over the past two days and have communicated a lot with everyone, and some problems have been resolved, though there are still some where we have not reached a consensus.
But that is fine; for now, we will operate according to what we have agreed upon, and as for problems that arise in the future, I hope everyone can provide feedback in a timely manner, and then we will resolve them."
"The third point is the matter of Galaxy Capital; for the time being, Galaxy Capital will act as the Headquarters to oversee some affairs of each company, without intervening in the specific operations of each company, though annual financial reports and personnel arrangements above level nine need to be reported."
These three points were the result of what Zhang Ran and the others had discussed over these two days.
There is no need to say much about the Supervision Department; Zhang Ran took this opportunity to propose this point, and no one would object, even those at Fengli Group did not say much.
Of course, at Fengli Group, the power of the Supervision Department was greatly reduced, and it could not compare to that at Maikai Supermarket and the others.
But this was also a good turning point.
Among the three points, the most important was the matter of Galaxy Capital; previously, everyone basically did their own thing, and no one cared about anyone else.
Although there was some cooperation under Zhang Ran's integration, it was limited to that, and the relationships between the various companies were also quite chaotic, such as the issues of job titles and salaries in some companies.
Each company had its own standards, and they were all different.
Galaxy Capital was the same; everyone managed their own affairs, and it was quite troublesome for Zhang Ran to manage them.
So this time, it can be considered a temporary integration of these, and once the Zhang Family Holding Company is established, there will be a good improvement in these areas.
Zhang Ran looked at everyone present and said: "It is not easy for everyone to be able to work together, and I also hope that we can continue on well, so that when we are old, we can still drink tea and chat together.
And what I am doing is so that everyone can work with peace of mind; I will never be stingy with what should be given, and I believe everyone knows my, Zhang Ran's, character."
"That is true; everyone knows Brother Zhang's generosity," Meng He said with a chuckle.
This guy was the most relaxed one at this meeting because, for his company, or department, whether it was finances or the Supervision Department, Zhang Ran had given him immense power.
It could be said that Dahe Express is the same now as it was before.
Zhang Ran would not let someone like Meng He, who was dedicated to him, feel disheartened; even if Meng He had areas where he did not do so well, Zhang Ran would choose to turn a blind eye.
However, since Meng He could be trusted so much by Zhang Ran, there was naturally a reason for that trust; Dahe Express certainly had some small problems, but that was limited to that, and Meng He definitely had no major problems in finances or other aspects.
"Mr. Zhang, please don't talk about being old; it is likely that we will have passed on while you are still leisurely drinking tea and chatting," Zhao Lifeng also took the opportunity to make a joke.
The previously somewhat heavy meeting room suddenly became relaxed.
