Chapter 935: 930. Zhang Ran's Teaching (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran began his own teaching; previously, Zhang Ran mainly let them learn and grow on their own, waiting until they had their own ways of thinking before truly instructing them.

Now the time had come; Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan had both truly matured and had their own research regarding the business world.

"If their interests are not aligned with ours, then it proves that we cannot walk the same path as them. Since that is the case, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain; it is better to resolve it sooner," Zhang Ran continued.

Zhang Siyan listened to these words, not knowing what she was thinking.

After thinking for a while, she finally sighed and said, "But many of them are Huo Yi's old staff. If I do that, it would be letting Huo Yi down."

Zhang Siyan felt she could not do this; Huo Zhiyuan had done many things for her, even personally firing people who stood in her way.

Now, in order for her to truly ascend to power, using methods to purge another group of Huo Zhiyuan's old staff was something Zhang Siyan truly could not do.

These were the real reasons why Zhang Siyan had been hesitating.

She could not commit an act of ingratitude; although it was said that these shares originally belonged to the Zhang Family, could everything Huo Zhiyuan had sacrificed really be glossed over with a single sentence?

That was impossible!

Zhang Ran smiled upon hearing this; he was not angry because of Zhang Siyan's indecisiveness.

It is said that those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles, but that also depends on the situation.

If Zhang Siyan were unscrupulous in such matters, Zhang Ran would actually feel somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

"Haha, rest assured, your Huo Yi will not overthink it, and you can also completely change the method you use to handle this matter," Zhang Ran said.

Huo Zhiyuan asked curiously, "What method?"

"You can spin off some business operations and let them run them independently; this way, you not only move them aside but can also expand the business.

If they truly do well in the future and make the spun-off business bigger and stronger, that is also a good thing for you.

At worst, you can just give them some share incentives in the future, and after some time, even if they were to oppose you, they wouldn't be able to," Zhang Ran explained his method.

Zhang Siyan thought for a while and said, "Then what business should I spin off?"

"That is something you need to consider yourself." Zhang Ran would not solve everything for her; he only provided a general line of thought, and the specific matters still required Zhang Siyan to operate them herself, as only then could it serve the purpose of training.

Zhang Sicheng listened to his father and sister's words and also had his own thoughts. Seeing that his father and the others had finished their discussion, he spoke up directly: "Dad, then do you think my Biaoxue Company needs to split off some business?"

After saying this, before Zhang Ran could speak, he explained, "Our company's development has now entered a bottleneck period.

Moreover, I have discovered that many capable people are actually unwilling to join my company, even if the annual salary I offer is higher than what they currently have, and in my view, my company clearly has much more potential than theirs."

After finishing, he seemed to feel something was wrong, thought for a moment, and changed his wording: "It's not that I think so; this should be the view of most people. They also acknowledge this point, but they are still unwilling to come."

Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean; you Biaoxue just can't recruit suitable talent, right?"

"That's pretty much the meaning. It's mainly that senior management is hard to recruit. You also know that our company is developing very quickly, and the growth of employees within the company cannot keep up with the company's growth, so recruiting from the outside has become inevitable," Zhang Sicheng explained.

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "I understand. Is it because they feel there is no room for development in your company?"

"How do you say that?" Zhang Sicheng was puzzled.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "You just thought of the key to the problem, why are you still asking me?"

"You mean splitting off business?" Zhang Sicheng seemed to understand; he had only had a vague idea earlier, and the specifics were not yet very clear.

"Not splitting off business, but delegating the authority of some business. For example, the promotion of the company's games—this business is also your top priority. Are you currently holding onto it single-handedly?" Zhang Ran asked.

"That's right, I'm doing it together with President Wang, but President Wang rarely intervenes," Zhang Sicheng said.

"That's it then. It's not that they don't want to intervene, but that you have already intervened, so they feel embarrassed to do so. Once a disagreement arises, should they listen to you or listen to him?" Zhang Ran said.

"If they listen to you, then what is the point of them doing this? If they don't listen to you, you are the boss."

Zhang Sicheng understood, "You mean I need to delegate power?"

"That's right, it's delegating power—true delegation. As long as this business doesn't run into problems, you shouldn't intervene. This is the thing you most need to learn right now.

But delegating power doesn't mean you really don't care about anything; it means managing with selectivity, and even if some problems arise, you need to use the right methods to solve them.

It's not about directly denying or punishing," Zhang Ran said a lot, sharing some of his own experience.

Zhang Sicheng's situation is actually the same as most entrepreneurs, even though Zhang Sicheng's entrepreneurship has been too smooth.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that Zhang Sicheng feels the company cannot do anything without him.

He also has a bit of reluctance to delegate power.

Zhang Sicheng himself might not even have noticed this; it is a subconscious behavior.

Just because Zhang Sicheng is not thinking about how to take over the Zhang Family's massive business empire does not mean he is truly indifferent to power.

Biaoxue can be said to have been developed by Zhang Sicheng single-handedly; it was once just a company worth thirty million, and now?

So it is normal for him to be reluctant to let go.

There are many companies that have grown into ten-billion-value companies where the boss is unwilling to delegate power.

Many are forced to let those veterans, those capable people, walk away, and that is the reason why.

If you don't give people the authority to exercise their abilities, and don't give them the space to realize their self-worth, they naturally won't want to stay in the company.

Talent is scarce no matter where you are.

There are many such cases, and it is not a strange thing.

Zhang Sicheng seemed somewhat embarrassed by what Zhang Ran said, and he argued, "It's not that I don't want to delegate power, but I'm afraid they won't do it well."

"Why are you afraid they won't do it well? It's not like you can't afford to fail, right? Or is your self-esteem so strong that you don't want my money?" Zhang Ran finally teased.

If it were in the past, he would not have said this, because he would have been truly afraid of stimulating Zhang Sicheng's heart, but today he knew this would not stimulate Zhang Sicheng.
