Chapter 42
"Life comes first, work comes second. Besides, since you come to work with us alone, the company should think more carefully about you. Also, if you are willing to live in an apartment building, the company plans to provide you with a housekeeper. In fact,
She is a female employee within the company who cooks and cleans for you." Guan Yuntian said sincerely.
"Mr. Guan, after many years of study and work experience, I have long developed the habit of living alone. When I was still studying, I lived alone, which was not a problem for me. As for whether to live in a hotel or an apartment, I
I think it’s better to live in an apartment. Firstly, it’s convenient, and secondly, it saves money. I won’t need housekeeping. Don’t worry, Mr. Guan. I won’t let myself go hungry without housekeeping. I’ll still keep the house clean. I’ll invite you when the time comes.
Go and be a guest at home."
Ye Jiayi has many years of experience living abroad, and her ability to take care of herself is beyond doubt. Guan Yuntian really doesn't need to worry about this.
"What about the car? Do you drive it yourself, or do you have a full-time driver?"
"For the sake of convenience, I drive it myself when commuting to and from get off work or within a radius of 100 to 200 kilometers. I only bring a driver with me when I go far away."
"Okay, here's the car key. Take it. The car is in garage No. 5."
Guan Yuntian took out the car key from the drawer and handed it to Ye Jiayi. This was a brand new "Toyota Camry" with a new license plate. Even if you look at the vehicles driving on urban and rural roads in Fuyuan County, this car is considered to be of a higher grade.
Compared with this "Toyota Camry", the "Poussin" that Guan Yuntian was riding in was more than one grade behind! This kind of car is not available at all in Huayuan City. It is a franchise of Guan Yuntiantuo in the provincial capital.
A friend who imported the vehicle purchased it.
"In addition, if you live in an apartment, the house is already equipped with some furniture. Let the office staff and the financial section chief accompany you to the department store tomorrow, and you can choose some furniture and supplies you like."
"Mr. Guan, I will slowly add household items myself. Now it's time to talk about the division of labor."
Ye Jiayi felt uncomfortable with Guan Yuntian's careful arrangements of daily details. She hoped to get back to work faster so that Guan Yuntian would not be distracted by such trivial matters.
In fact, the division of labor is very simple. As the executive vice president, Ye Jiayi is responsible for the daily management of the company and is in charge of the company office, finance department, labor and management department and other departments. When Guan Yuntian is not in the company, Ye Jiayi acts as the general manager.
At a meeting of middle-level and above managers held at around 10 o'clock in the morning that day, Guan Yuntian introduced Ye Jiayi to the entire company's managers, and announced Ye Jiayi's appointment decision and the specific departments she was responsible for at the meeting.
Guan Yuntian hoped that Ye Jiayi would not be in a hurry to get into work, and suggested that she first familiarize herself with the company's situation. Although she had been introduced to her in detail before, Guan Yuntian believed that it could not replace Ye Jiayi's personal experience. Through observation, Guan Yuntian hoped that Ye Jiayi would be more familiar with the company's situation.
Put forward your own opinions and suggestions on the current management status of Changda Company.
After all, she has worked in a Fortune 500 company and has an MBA background from the University of Michigan Business School. It only took Ye Jiayi a week to get a clear picture of the entire situation of Changda Company and put forward some of her own opinions.
.
The first phase of the new project finally started construction. Guan Yuntian returned to his office. Ye Jiayi handed the six or seven pages of printed paper to Guan Yuntian, "Mr. Guan, this is my impression of the current situation of the company, and
Some suggestions from me.”
Guan Yuntian took it and said, "Okay, let me take a look. I want to hear your opinion."
"Overall, the situation of Changda Company is much better than I imagined. It seems that Mr. Guan has always attached great importance to the management of the company." Ye Jiayi sat down on the chair opposite Guan Yuntian.
"That's a compliment. That's not what I want to hear. What's your opinion?"
"If Changda Company only wants to be a large-scale private enterprise in the region, it would be good to maintain the status quo. If Mr. Guan has higher goals, the company has a lot to improve."
"We invite you to join our team. Of course, the company's goals will not be satisfied with the status quo. We know that the company has many problems, but we don't know the true face of Mount Lu just because we are in this mountain." Guan Yuntian stood up, made a cup of tea, and put it on the table.
In front of Ye Jiayi.
"Not to mention the production and logistics departments, just the corporate office, finance department and labor and human resources department that I am in charge of. I think some aspects need to be further improved."
"I would like to hear the details." Guan Yuntian made a gesture of invitation.
"For example, the company office's current functions are limited to sending and receiving, uploading and issuing, and sometimes helping to draft copywriting such as notifications and decisions. I think that when the company does not have a public relations department, the office should shoulder some public relations functions. If there is no public relations department, the office should be responsible for some public relations functions.
In the case of an administrative agency, the office should also shoulder the functions of some administrative agencies."
Guan Yuntian nodded in agreement, feeling that what he said made sense.
"I wonder how Changda Company's financing activities have been carried out so far? In formal enterprises, the financial department is not only a cost accounting agency, but also the main body undertaking corporate financing. I know that in the vast majority of domestic enterprises, especially private enterprises,
The boss has become the main force in corporate financing, which is abnormal. The main person in charge of the company should spend his energy on planning and developing the company, rather than following financial institutions all day long for financing."
Guan Yuntian has a deep understanding of this issue that Ye Jiayi mentioned. Every loan of Changda Company was obtained through his efforts. For this reason, he spent most of his energy on corporate financing. To be honest, he really
Not much energy is spent on business management and considering long-term development.
"Oh, you're saying that it's okay to let the financial department become the main body of financing?" Guan Yuntian was surprised by this.
"The financial department should be the main body of financing. This is the responsibility of the functional department. This does not mean that the boss can turn a blind eye to corporate financing. You can intervene in financing activities at any time as long as you are willing." In this regard, Ye Jiayi said that for domestic enterprises,
The actual situation is not fully understood. In fact, the financing of private enterprises relies almost entirely on the boss’s connections in banks.
Guan Yuntian feels that it is unrealistic to ask people from the finance department to go to financial institutions for financing. "However, the finance department generally does not deal with financial institutions. Financing in China is about personal connections. They don't usually interact with each other very much. When they need financing, I'm afraid.
People in the finance department cannot complete this task."
"I understand what Mr. Guan means. Aren't bank loans all about relationships? Bank loans are just one of the ways of financing, and they belong to narrow financing. In addition to bank loans, broad financing also includes securities markets and private lending, as well as bond issuance, which all belong to
Regarding the scope of financing, if similar financing is needed, the financial department must be involved, or even sponsored by the financial department. As for the personal relationships of bank loans, as long as the financial department is involved, they will gradually establish such relationships."
Little did Ye Jiayi know that such personal connections were obtained entirely through the exchange of interests. It was just wishful thinking to establish a strong relationship with a financial institution without a heart-to-heart relationship.
"Besides these, what about the human resources and labor department? What suggestions do you have?"
"Mr. Guan, besides managing employee registration, wages, bonuses and overtime pay, what other functions does the company's current HR and Labor Department have?"
"At present, their role is these. In addition, do you think the personnel and labor department should shoulder other tasks?"
"Needless to say, Changda Company's employment plan is also a matter of concern for Mr. Guan. In large companies in developed countries, what kind of people the company needs, how many people it needs, and what type of people it needs, the human resources department basically proposes a plan to the leadership.
After discussion and approval by the board of directors, the human resources department generally implements recruitment or introduction. Unless there are some special talents that require the chairman or general manager to personally come forward, usually the company leaders do not want to worry about this. In fact, they do not use
Don't worry about them." Ye Jiayi worked as a department executive at Dow Chemical and she knows this situation very well.
"But it's hard for the bosses of domestic companies to be so free and easy. There is no big deal that they don't do personally." Just a few days ago, Guan Yuntian was still worrying about recruiting employees for the new project. At any rate, he finally let his few employees in the tire industry
A middle school classmate who worked in the company promised to come and help him when the time came.
"So, domestic bosses are even more tired and busy, because you have to personally deal with everything big and small. It seems that the earth will not turn if you leave it. As a result, you are exhausted and have no energy to consider the future development plan of the company. The company
People in functional departments are bored in the office. The bosses of large foreign companies have a certain amount of vacation time every year. Mr. Guan, how many days of vacation time do you have in a year?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't have any holidays, not even weekends."
"With such long-term overload operation, it is easy for the body to have problems. I suggest Mr. Guan gradually delegate power to various functional departments of the company. Don't be afraid that they will not do well or that they have no sense of responsibility. If any department really does not do well, explain
There is a problem with employment, and the ability of the person concerned is limited. Once this happens, do not hesitate to replace people and let those who are capable do it. China is so big, what kind of people can’t be found? Responsibility is reflected in the company system.
The requirements are that everyone must be held accountable for everything. Those who fail to complete things on time, quality and quantity without justifiable reasons will be punished according to the system. As long as strict requirements are met, transparency and fairness are met, no one will dare not to fulfill their duties."
After all, Ye Jiayi has served as a department executive in a Fortune 500 company. Her vision and insights are indeed refreshing to Guan Yuntian. To sum up, there are actually two points. First, let go and use capable people. Second, the enterprise
Management is not about people managing people, but systems managing people. These concepts have long taken root in multinational companies, but in domestic private enterprises, they all sound new. It is not so easy to fully accept these concepts.
Even for a highly educated business owner like Guan Yuntian, he fully agrees with these concepts, but he thinks it will take some time to fully accept them.
Since listening to Ye Jiayi's suggestion, although he has not completely delegated power to the company's functional departments, in actual work, Guan Yuntian intends to move in that direction. For example, when dealing with banks, during negotiations and entertainment, Guan Yuntian deliberately
Bringing the chief of the company's finance department with him; in addition, he decided to rename the personnel and labor department to the human resources department. When preparing to recruit employees at all levels for new projects, Guan Yuntian let the human resources department fully participate in it; for the company office, Guan Yuntian assigned
