Chapter 944: 939. Demands from All Sides (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

This could also be considered the first time Zhang Ran has discussed the integration of the Group Company in detail with people like Zhao Lifeng.

Although no specific matters were discussed for the time being, it could still be considered a preliminary consultation.

From this, one could see the attitudes of certain people, and it was also a moment for people like Zhao Lifeng to put forward their opinions.

It is precisely in such less formal occasions that it is easier to negotiate, or rather, more appropriate to raise these opinions and demands.

And at this moment, the first to put forward a demand was not Zhao Lifeng, but rather Jiao Zhen.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't have any other demands; after all, I haven't made any great contributions to Maikai Supermarket," Jiao Zhen said.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Brother Jiao, you are being too modest. Although I haven't paid much attention to Maikai Supermarket, I am clear about what you have done. Not to mention that the turnover of Maikai Supermarket is gradually rising.

Just the fact that you used your own resources to integrate the entire supply channel, opened up all the channels, and put in a lot of effort into acquiring some of the stores abandoned by Shangguo Supermarket, is significant."

Don't look at Jiao Zhen as someone who is quiet; he has truly done a lot of things, and these things cannot be displayed all at once.

Zhang Ran kept it all in his heart.

"I only put in a little effort regarding the supply channels; everything still relies on Mr. Zhang's prestige, otherwise they wouldn't have been so obedient," Jiao Zhen said truthfully.

Zhang Ran had also integrated the supply channels once and achieved considerable results, but that also required someone to maintain them and instantly increase the supply channels.

These were all things Jiao Zhen was doing, and he was doing them very well.

"Brother Jiao, if you continue to be this modest, I might think you have big trouble waiting for me," Zhang Ran joked.

Upon hearing this, Jiao Zhen did not say anything more on this topic and said directly, "Regardless, our Maikai Supermarket will comply with this arrangement.

However, as the CEO of Maikai Supermarket, I also need to secure benefits for my subordinates, otherwise it will be difficult to lead the team in the future."

He spoke very directly and clearly; this time, he was here to ask for benefits.

Zhang Ran nodded, signaling him to continue, "I won't mention other things, but Maikai Supermarket's supply channels will not be handed over. This is the foundation of Maikai Supermarket. Once there is a problem with the supply channels, Maikai Supermarket will be as good as finished.

And I don't quite believe that the Headquarters will always have smart leaders in charge of this aspect of the business."

Jiao Zhen was also not polite and stated his demands directly, and this was not all.

Zhang Ran was not in a hurry to speak, but quietly listened to him finish.

"Regarding the situation of some of the company's subsidiaries, some we need to manage with full authority, while others can be handed over to the Headquarters.

There is also the issue of employee promotions; I hope the Headquarters can delegate power in this regard, otherwise we will have no prestige."

Jiao Zhen put forward quite a few conditions, making Feng Hui, who was on the side, secretly click his tongue.

However, Jiao Zhen was also the most suitable person to throw out a brick to attract jade, because in this integration, his personal interests were the least involved.

After listening, Zhang Ran was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's not talk about other things for now; let's first talk about this personnel appointment power, which is also a problem everyone is concerned about."

Once these words were spoken, everyone nodded secretly; this was indeed a problem they were concerned about, and even Zhao Lifeng was no exception.

Although it was impossible for Zhang Ran to take back the personnel appointment power of Fengli Group, and he didn't have the right to, it would not be good if Zhang Ran caused any trouble over this.

"It is impossible to hand it all over to you; if that were the case, why would I even have a Group Company? But a degree of balance needs to be discussed. What are your individual thoughts on this?" Zhang Ran asked.

It was Jiao Zhen who spoke first, "Let's not talk about other things for now; all personnel appointments below the level of General Manager of the Group must be decided by our Group Company itself, and the higher-ups are not allowed to interfere."

At this moment, Jiao Zhen appeared very tough.

However, Zhang Ran was not angry; this was meant to be a discussion, and Jiao Zhen was not doing this for his own interests.

To put it bluntly, if Zhang Ran really took away all the personnel appointment power of the company, it would indeed allow the Headquarters to reach the peak of its control over the subordinate groups.

But at the same time, it would also cause the subordinate groups to lose their vitality, and Zhang Ran would not do that.

"General Manager level? So that means the Headquarters only has the power to appoint at most a dozen or so positions?" Zhang Ran said with an unchanging expression.

"Yes, and even for the appointment power at the General Manager level, we need to refer to the opinions of our Group Company; we also need to have some voting rights.

We can't just unconditionally cooperate whenever the Headquarters sends someone to parachute in.

And I believe that we should also take care of our own company's people within the group."

Zhang Ran nodded. After hearing Jiao Zhen's words, he did not rush to speak but diverted the topic.

"Fine, I understand. When the Headquarters is established, I will divide all employees into a unified grade, and then we will discuss it carefully," Zhang Ran said.

This is not something that can be explained in a sentence or two; there will still be a lot of arguing then, which is a normal thing.

Zhang Ran was not in a hurry; bringing it up now also gives everyone a buffer stage, and at the same time allows them to have a bottom line in their hearts.

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, some people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Since Zhang Ran did not refuse now, it proved that this matter could be discussed.

They all knew that as long as Zhang Ran did not refuse immediately, then things could be negotiated; if it touched Zhang Ran's bottom line.

Then Zhang Ran would refuse without hesitation, and there would be no room for discussion at all.

This was the best result for now.

"I have also thought about the supply channels you mentioned. It can be done according to your requirements. The Headquarters has no right to govern your group's supply channels, but it needs to have the right to know, which means you need to report all your supply channels," Zhang Ran said.

Just as Jiao Zhen wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Zhang Ran, "My meaning is this: when the Headquarters carries out some integration, there will certainly be other supply channels suitable for you that can be integrated in.

But as for how to integrate them specifically, the Headquarters is only responsible for coordination; you negotiate among yourselves. The Headquarters is responsible for controlling the overall situation. As long as there are no problems with the overall situation, it will not interfere."

Jiao Zhen thought for a moment; doing this was not bad, but he still said, "We can accept this solution, but we need to discuss the degree of this overall situation carefully."
