Chapter 135: Plan ahead
Zheng Li continued: "What do you think of the previous publicity in the media?"
"Just to become the general manager of Kechuang Biotechnology?"
"If you want, I can fire Cheng Gang, but there may be some turmoil at the management level. So if you want, you can wait until the brain-computer connected VR is released to talk to Cheng Gang and give him a chance to leave with dignity."
Li Miaomiao's face suddenly became hotter and turned red, and the hair on his face was clearly visible:
"That's just media propaganda, I actually didn't mean it."
"If I take the position of general manager, the people below may not be convinced either."
"I'm still far behind. No need to worry. Cheng Gang did a pretty good job. There's no need for this."
"With my qualifications, if it weren't for you, the most I could do in a company of the size of Kechuang Biotech would be a team leader."
Li Miaomiao is very self-aware and knows that it is more difficult for her to have such a resume than winning the lottery. Simply relying on her family and her own efforts, it would be good to go to the headquarters of a securities firm or an investment bank.
You must know that after completing the college entrance examination application form, her goal after her student career was to go to a front-line investment bank.
She never thought about joining the industry.
Compared with finance, industry brings in money too slowly, and finance is a rentier industry.
Among the top 100 profits of China's listed companies in 2020, the top ten are all financial companies, 9 banks, and a comprehensive financial service provider.
Maotai, which ranks highest in the real industry, is only 12th.
Zheng Li explained: "Compared with Cheng Gang, you also have your advantages. Cheng Gang does have more experience and is better able to handle things."
"Both the connections and official channels are wider than yours."
Zheng Li said it very straightforwardly. Li Miaomiao knew this was true, but he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.
It always reminded her of the time when her mother told her that her colleague's daughter had ranked first in the exam and never played games. The fact was true, but she still felt unhappy inside.
However, she nodded her head in agreement.
Zheng Li continued: "But you have your advantage, that is, you don't have any thoughts of your own. Unlike Cheng Gang, who has too much desire, he always wants to rely on the platform of Kechuang Biotech to make profits for himself."
Li Miaomiao originally thought that Zheng Li was going to say that her advantage was that she had Zheng Li's trust, but it turned out not to be the case at all.
Li Miaomiao didn't notice it at all before Zheng Li mentioned it. She was surprised and said: "Is it true?"
Zheng Li said: "Whether he is setting up his own investment company, his investment company has invested in two companies that specialize in mrna vaccines."
"This opportunity was found for him by IDG. As for what he paid, I only know that we wanted to acquire Seind at that time, and the shareholders behind Seind sold their equity to IDG and Goldman Sachs in advance."
"But because of the specific drugs of American, it is difficult for the two mRNA companies to go on the market."
"After his investment fails, he will definitely try to make up for it in some way."
"The super battery technology announced by the board of directors yesterday, Cheng Gang will most likely use this news to find hot money or institutions to trade stocks in the lithium battery-related industry chain."
"His operations are neither illegal nor illegal, including leaking that the company's acquisition of Seind may not have been his original intention, but Cheng Gang is too selfish and will definitely replace him in the future. But are you ready?"
"It would be nice if only you and I knew these things."
Li Miaomiao was shocked after hearing this. She was also shocked and suspicious of Zheng Li. She directly asked this question: "How do you know? You are in the Lion City and your information is more sensitive than mine in Suzhou?
"
Zheng Li was helpless: "Your focus shouldn't be, how long do you need to be ready? When do you plan to take over Cheng Gang's position and responsibilities?"
Li Miaomiao said stubbornly: "These are not important. I will tell you when I am ready."
"But how did you know? I'm very curious. I forgive every woman for having a gossipy heart." At the end of the sentence, Li Miaomiao even sounded a little coquettish.
Zheng Li said: "There must be people of mine in the company, and they will tell me this."
"As for who it is, it's not convenient for me to reveal it to you."
As the actual controller of a company, there will inevitably be employees at different levels who want to get closer to you, including but not limited to snitching, giving gifts, flattery, etc.
Not only the actual controller, but also the senior executives will have subordinates who want to get closer to you. Without factions, it would be impossible.
When a company is large, different factions will naturally form.
A very simple example is that people who joined the company in the same year were trained at the same time. Later, as the company developed, some people took the position of senior executives, some were middle-level employees, and some were ordinary employees. It is easy to form cliques.
There are many old employee factions, new employee factions, Jiangcheng University factions, rice factions, doctorate factions, etc. in Kechuang Biotechnology. This is when the company only has 5,000 people.
Therefore, you cannot avoid the reason why Shantou culture prevails in enterprises such as Goose Factory and Ali. Factional issues cannot be avoided when governed by people.
Zheng Li’s shares account for more than 60% and he is the undisputed controller of Kechuang Biotechnology.
Even though he is in the Lion City, Zheng Li has been in Suzhou from the beginning to the launch of Endorphin, and every executive appointment requires him to talk to him in person.
Therefore, Li Miaomiao had no doubts about Zheng Li's explanation, but she was secretly guessing who was more sensitive to information than her.
Li Miaomiao nodded and said, "I will seriously consider it."
"Then do you need to have a good talk with Cheng Gang and ask him to restrain himself?"
"After all, Cheng Gang has been working in Science and Technology Biotech since the establishment of the company. We still have to take his contribution into consideration."
"The system, structure, personnel recruitment, patent registration, etc. of the entire enterprise when it was started were all handled by him single-handedly."
"If you can give me a chance, I'd better give him a chance. He's over fifty and can work for a few more years at most. It won't be too late for me to take over when he reaches retirement age."
"And considering that the rice faction and the Jiangcheng University faction within the company have always been in a state of contention without fighting, if Cheng Gang leaves, this balance will inevitably be broken."
The Jiangcheng University faction could have completely suppressed the Rice faction, but since Zheng Li was in Lion City, Li Miaomiao did not participate in this kind of thing.
Only an executive from Kechuang Biotechnology who graduated from Jiangcheng University was keen on this. Cheng Gang also did not end the matter personally, and his former subordinates at Shunwei Capital participated. The two parties maintained a tacit understanding of competition.
Zheng Li replied: "This is something you need to consider balancing. You will have to face these in the future. You are the specific person in charge."
"These personnel arrangements and internal management of the company are much more troublesome than scientific research, so I leave them all to you!"
"As for Cheng Gang's hard work, I tolerate it to this day. If it weren't for the fact that he has been here since the establishment of Science and Technology Biotech, I would have let him go long ago."
"But the older a person gets, the more insecure and greedy he becomes, so if he crosses the line, I will definitely let him go. You need to be prepared in advance."
