Chapter 646 Let Xu Feng go to Tiancheng
"A company-wide audit? Including the group headquarters, general contractors, and real estate companies?"
When Xu Zhiping learned of Zhao Xiankun's idea, his eyes widened instantly, with an incredible look:
"Boss, this... it's almost the end of the year. It's not a good idea to conduct a major audit at this time, right?"
There was a hidden message that Xu Zhiping didn't say, which was that if this was really done, no one would have a good New Year.
By then, people will be unsettled and it might cause big trouble.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiankun waved his hand, signaling Xu Zhiping not to be surprised:
"It won't start at the end of the year, but in the spring. But you have to work out a detailed audit plan first."
Zhao Xiankun is not a fool and he won't believe everything he hears.
He arranged this major audit in order to gain a comprehensive understanding, self-examination, and control over Yinghai Group.
When Xu Zhiping heard that it would not start immediately, he nodded silently.
Since we are given a few months to prepare, it means that everything can still be discussed.
In the TV series, in order to create an atmosphere and to show Xia Ming's resourcefulness, the company's audit action was turned into a retaliation against Tianke.
to be frank.
In reality, a group chairman like Zhao Xiankun would never waste a lot of the company's manpower, financial and material resources to retaliate against a subsidiary of Tianke just because he was taken advantage of by Xia Ming once at a cement symposium.
In the TV series, Zhao Xiankun sent people to Tianke to conduct an audit, but it ended in a whimper.
This behavior is obviously the result of the screenwriter lowering the intelligence of the chairman Zhao Xiankun in order to highlight the male protagonist Xia Ming.
Now, with Su Mingzhe's reminder, Zhao Xiankun regards the audit as a means to understand the internal situation of the company.
At this time, Xu Zhiping did not dare to refuse casually, let alone pretend to be sick like in the TV dramas.
After all, Zhao Xiankun gave several months of preparation time.
If Xu Zhiping dared to pretend to be ill for a few months at this time, Zhao Xiankun would definitely hand over his position as chief engineer to someone who was willing to take responsibility.
After Xu Zhiping received the task and left, Zhao Xiankun handed all the information he had investigated yesterday to his nephew:
"Xiaozhe, you are right. The five subsidiaries of Tianzihao have not been able to develop because they were blood-drawn by the general contracting company, which led to their stunted development. This is something I did not expect at the beginning, and it is my responsibility."
Su Mingzhe didn't take Zhao Xiankun's self-blaming words to heart.
Zhao Xiankun was able to grow a company from small to large and develop it into an industry benchmark. He would never be soft-hearted in his management decisions.
He is now revealing his "true feelings" in front of Su Mingzhe, most likely because he sees that Su Mingzhe has sufficient funds and can manage Tianlong Company in an orderly manner, and he is about to marry He Yao, so he wants to pull Su Mingzhe into the chariot of Yinghai Group.
As the saying goes: Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle.
Zhao Xiankun raised Su Mingzhe as his own son and believed that his nephew should share his responsibilities and help him protect the empire he had built - Yinghai Group.
For this reason, Zhao Xiankun was not going to let his nephew help for nothing.
When he retires, he will divide his property into two parts. Apart from giving half to his biological son, the remaining half will be given to this nephew.
Su Mingzhe naturally understood what his uncle was thinking.
However, this is just Zhao Xiankun's wishful thinking.
Su Mingzhe was not even interested in managing the Tianlong Company under his control, and had no idea about the Yinghai Group. Naturally, he was unwilling to be tied to the Yinghai Group by Zhao Xiankun.
"Xiaozhe, tell me, how can we save these five top-tier subsidiaries?"
"There are two ways. The first one is what I said yesterday, which is to peel it off directly."
Su Mingzhe once again brought up the old topic: "Uncle, divesting the five top subsidiaries may make shareholders unhappy, but this is also the best way to cut the Gordian knot. Otherwise, the longer it takes, the more serious the consequences will be, and the overall interests of Yinghai Group will suffer."
"But there is no way the shareholders will agree to a divestiture like this."
Although Zhao Xiankun is the chairman and founder of the company, he does not really have the final say in the company.
There are seven people on the board of directors, and any major decision requires a show of hands vote by all seven.
Furthermore, if board members are dissatisfied with the board's decision, they can raise objections to the general meeting of shareholders.
"If it really doesn't work, then we can only take the second path and merge the Tianzihao."
Su Mingzhe proposed the idea of Zhao Xiankun in the TV series.
When Zhao Xiankun heard his nephew's idea, which coincided with his own, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Xiaozhe, regarding this merger of Tianzihao, do you have any specific method?"
What can I do? This is just your idea.
Although Su Mingzhe wanted to complain, he still respected his uncle who raised him, so after thinking about it, he came up with a few methods.
Zhao Xiankun nodded silently, seemingly considering the feasibility of this.
The conversation continued until the end, when Su Mingzhe suddenly spoke:
"Uncle, you said last time that keeping Brother Feng would be very useful. You don't want him to participate in this operation on the Tianzihao, do you?"
Xu Feng, who was standing next to him, suddenly heard Su Mingzhe talking about him, and he immediately perked up. He had been waiting for an opportunity to be independent. "What do you think?"
Zhao Xiankun didn't say yes or no, but his eyes showed some appreciation, giving Su Mingzhe a chance to win people's hearts.
They say a nephew is like an uncle.
Seeing how outstanding Su Mingzhe is, Zhao Xiankun already felt comforted.
"Brother Feng has been with you for quite some time, so his abilities must be no problem, but..."
When Su Mingzhe said the word "but", Xu Feng next to him immediately got nervous.
Zhao Xiankun also calmed himself down and signaled Su Mingzhe to speak frankly.
Su Mingzhe was silent for a few seconds, and even looked at Xu Feng before saying:
"However, Brother Feng has been with his uncle for a long time. I am afraid that he has a broad mindset and vision, but is not very down-to-earth. I suggest that before the audit begins next year, Brother Feng should go to the front-line department for an internship for a period of time."
"Well, you have a point."
Zhao Xiankun listened to Su Mingzhe's evaluation of Xu Feng and agreed very much. Then he looked at Xu Feng and said with a smile:
"Xu Feng, Xiaozhe asked you to intern in the front-line department for a period of time. Do you have any ideas?"
There was a hint of reluctance in Xu Feng's eyes. He worked as an assistant to Zhao Xiankun. Although his rank was only a senior manager, similar to the chief economist of a subsidiary company, he was a seventh-rank official, the prime minister's doorman. Normally, even the vice president of the group like Wang Mingyu would be polite to Xu Feng when he met him.
If Xu Feng listened to Su Mingzhe and went to the front-line department, it would be bad.
Fortunately, Xu Feng hesitated for only a few seconds before calming down:
"Chairman, I'll follow your instructions."
Zhao Xiankun nodded approvingly after hearing Xu Feng's answer, and then looked at Su Mingzhe: "Xiaozhe, you said that Xu Feng should go to the front-line department for internship, do you have any good recommendations?"
Seeing that Zhao Xiankun asked him to make the arrangements, Su Mingzhe did not refuse and said directly:
"Tiancheng Company is in need of a business contract manager. Over a dozen people have resigned in the past few years. There must be something fishy going on. I think it would be better to let Brother Feng stay there for a few months. First, we can find out the specific reasons. Second, we can examine Mr. Wang Yang and see if he is suitable for the position of general manager after the merger of Tianzihao."
Su Mingzhe said this, turned to Xu Feng and smiled:
"Brother Feng, if you go to Tiancheng Company, you will have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You must understand the working procedures of the front-line departments. But there is no need to be too anxious. After all, it will take at least a few months for the audit team to be established and you can be transferred out. It may take at least one or two years for you to be used in other ways after the Tianzihao merger."
Seeing that his nephew had made such a reasonable arrangement for Xu Feng, Zhao Xiankun nodded with satisfaction.
With a nephew like this, what more could I ask for?
Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhao Xiankun wanted to invite his nephew to have lunch together, but was rejected by Su Mingzhe.
He Yao is still waiting for him at Tianlong Company.
At half past eleven.
Su Mingzhe returned to the company. The two beauties, Wu Hongmei and Tang Lili, were both at the secretary desk. When they saw Su Mingzhe coming back, they hurried to report their work to him.
This morning, there was a business that came to their door. Because Su Mingzhe was not there, the two of them handed the client over to Su Xiao to receive.
Su Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction. With Su Xiao helping him manage the company, he could completely be a hands-off boss.
After asking Wu Hongmei to order two lunches for him, Su Mingzhe let the two women leave.
Time flies and it's time to get off work.
Only then did Su Mingzhe take He Yao and leave the company.
Wu Hongmei now lives with Su Xiao. After work, they go home together to cook and eat.
While eating, Wu Hongmei first thanked Su Xiao for helping her out, and then started complaining.
Su Mingzhe and He Yao stayed in the office this afternoon and had almost no rest.
Although the boss's office was well soundproofed, Wu Hongmei and Tang Lili were right next to the door and were forced to eavesdrop on what they heard through the wall for most of the day.
Finally, Wu Hongmei said with resentment:
"...Our boss and his wife are indeed people who studied abroad. They are so open-minded."
She and Zhang Xiaobei lived in a small building with a large wife and children. If the people next door turned over, both she and Zhang Xiaobei could hear it.
So, she and Zhang Xiaobei have been living together and married for almost three years, and they dare not make any big moves when they are making love.
Su Xiao and her ex-boyfriend Zhou Jun have also lived together for several years. She is not a simple girl. When she heard her friend say this, she couldn't help but tease:
"So you and Lili just listened like that for the whole afternoon and didn't do anything else?"
"What can we do?"
Wu Hongmei was relatively innocent, but she reacted immediately and was so angry that she wanted to reach out and tear Su Xiao's mouth:
"Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense. Lili and I don't have that kind of intention towards the boss."
