Chapter 497 Control of the Company and Development Direction

"Good morning, boss!" Seeing Li Minzhang coming in, the beautiful receptionist immediately greeted him with a smile.

Li Minzhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Haha, after today I'm not your boss anymore!" He pointed at Lin Hao and said:
"From now on, Boss Lin is your boss!"

The receptionist was confused. The new boss and the previous boss came at the same time. Who should she please first?
"Boss?" Fortunately, the receptionist was only stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and shouted to Lin Hao, "Hello, Boss!"

"Yeah!" Lin Hao glanced at the front desk and said in a calm voice.

At this time, Li Minzhang said to the front desk:
"Call Manager Lin out! And notify everyone to hold a meeting!"

Li Minzhang did not make things difficult for the receptionist and gave the order directly.

"Okay, boss." After the receptionist said this, she immediately stood up and called for help.

After a while, Zhang Tiexiong brought a group of employees to the conference room, and when Li Minzhang saw everyone was there, he immediately said:

"I believe everyone has heard that I sold Li Ji Trading Company. Now I tell you that it is true, and the buyer is the person next to me, Mr. Lin!"

Everyone in the office immediately started to discuss, and Li Minzhang held his hand and said:

"An Jing, the reason I came here today is just to take my financial director away!"

"As for the issue of whether others stay or go, on the one hand it depends on your own intentions, and on the other hand it requires the approval of General Manager Lin, so if you want to stay, you must get General Manager Lin's consent!"

After saying that, Li Minzhang stood up, turned around and said to Lin Hao:

"Boss Lin, I won't bother you anymore. Once you've sorted things out, we can get together again!"

Seeing that Li Minzhang was so tactful and did not communicate too much with others, Lin Hao nodded and said:

"Okay, let's meet again next time!"

After Li Minzhang left, no one spoke in the conference room and the scene suddenly became quiet. It was obvious that everyone was waiting for Lin Hao to speak.

Sure enough, Lin Hao said to the people in the conference room:

"My name is Lin Hao. From now on, I am the new boss of Li Ji Trading Company!"

"I'll give you ten minutes to introduce yourself. This is related to whether you can continue to stay in the company!"

After Lin Hao finished speaking, he pointed at Zhang Tiexiong and said, "Let's start with you, the general manager!"

"Okay, boss!" Zhang Tiexiong was a little nervous at first, but after hearing Lin Hao's words, he relaxed.

Since the new boss knows the previous boss, he must have introduced himself, otherwise he would not have directly stated his identity.

Thinking of this, he immediately organized his speech:

"My name is Zhang Tiexiong, and I'm the general manager of Liji Trading Company..."

"Besides, I am just a commoner. I was able to become the general manager because of my ability!"

"When Li Ji was still losing money, I was the one who helped it turn a profit. So as long as you continue to employ me, I will definitely do a good job of the company's affairs and conscientiously complete all your orders!"

After Zhang Tiexiong finished his introduction, he immediately stated his position:

"Boss, please believe me, no one is more suitable than me to be the manager of Li Ji!"

Lin Hao still recognized Zhang Tiexiong, who was aware of the times and made his position clear at the first opportunity, which made people feel comfortable.

Of course, it is also because Lin Hao does not have any other suitable talents.

"Okay, I really admire your confidence. I will temporarily appoint you as the manager of Li Ji." Lin Hao nodded in agreement.

However, Lin Hao has accumulated a lot of experience in company management over the years, and he still needs to use both kindness and strictness, and naturally cannot just give benefits.

So Lin Hao said: "I hope that my company will prosper under your management. At the same time, I also hope that you can put the interests of the company first. If you do anything that harms the interests of the company, I will make you leave in an undignified manner!"

Zhang Tiexiong nodded respectfully: "I understand. I will prove my worth with my actual actions."

At this time, Zhang Tiexiong was very excited. He finally stayed in his current position. He was also glad that he could seize this opportunity. Of course, he also felt a lot of pressure and responsibility.

Subsequently, other members of the company also passed Lin Hao's interview one after another.

Yes, in the eyes of the employees in the conference room, the so-called self-introduction is an interview. If you pass it, you will be directly employed; if you fail, you will be observed for a period of time.

The final result was good, no one wanted to leave, and it also proved Zhang Tiexiong's management ability.

After everyone introduced themselves, Lin Hao continued:
"In the next period of time, I will adjust the company's development strategy and continue to inject capital into the company!"

“We will not stop at our current development. I hope everyone can unite as one to build our company into a world-leading first-class company!”

Our company will grow faster and faster in the future, and I will use some of my shares to reward employees who have contributed to the company!"

"I believe that one day in the future, all of you can become millionaires, multi-millionaires, or even billionaires."

"So I hope you can follow my steps closely and never fall behind, because I will not stop moving forward for someone!"

"I hope your future will be as prosperous as the blossoming sesame seeds. Use your best achievements and follow me to move towards a more brilliant future!"

"Clap, clap, clap!" Warm applause broke out in the conference room.

Lin Hao's words made everyone present feel Lin Hao's courage and filled everyone with confidence in the company's future. They unconsciously fantasized about becoming billionaires in the future.

Everyone seemed to be energized, immersed in this passionate atmosphere and imagining the bright future of the company.

Alas, I finally became the shape that I hated the most, Lin Hao thought helplessly.

But there is no way, people of this era are like this, they are really willing to eat this painted pie and this extremely fragrant chicken soup for the soul, and enjoy it.

Then Lin Hao stood up and said:
"Okay, today's meeting is over. General Manager Zhang Tiexiong, Marketing Department Yu Guangxu, Human Resources Department Jiang Xiangling... go to the Chairman's Office and adjourn the meeting!"

Then Zhang Tiexiong, Yu Guangxu and others followed Lin Hao to the chairman's office.

Lin Hao sat in his office chair and said to them solemnly:
"The strategic direction of our company will be adjusted. Let's discuss the company's future plans!" Zhang Tiexiong immediately said, "President Lin, just give me your instructions!"

As he spoke, Lin Hao took out some documents and said:
"First, Steven Law Firm will become our company's partner, Mr. Steven will become our company's legal advisor, and all legal matters will be handed over to Attorney Steven."

"Second, the company name needs to be changed. The name Li Ji is too narrow. The company name needs to be changed to: Eternal Star!"

"Third, the company will soon be acquired by another company of mine and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingyuan Group!"

As he spoke, Lin Hao took out a document, handed the paper with the logo on it to Zhang Tiexiong, and then said:

"This is the Eternal Star logo, as well as the company's decoration plan. Redecorate the company!"

"I understand!" Zhang Tiexiong responded immediately.

After arranging some of the work, Lin Hao said:
"Okay, let's discuss the future development direction of the company!"

"Mr. Zhang, tell me what the company was mainly engaged in before!"

Zhang Tiexiong sorted out his thoughts and then said:
"Before, our company didn't have a core business project. We dealt in whatever made money, whether it was electronic watches, radios, motorcycles, hairpins, rubber bands, etc. As long as it made money, we would do it!"

Lin Hao did not comment and continued to ask:
"Then do you have any suggestions for the future operation and development of the company?"

Zhang Tiexiong thought hard about plans that were suitable for the company, and then said:

"As for the future development direction of the company, I think we should take the initiative to expand the sales of televisions, cars, motorcycles and other items. I think in the future, these things will definitely be the mainstream of every household!"

"With the rapid development of the economy, these household tools are being updated very quickly and are indispensable to every family, especially motorcycles, which are widely loved by young people...!"

Lin Hao nodded, but did not express any opinion. Instead, he looked at Yu Guangxu from the sales department. After all, the sales department directly faces the customers.

Yu Guangxu had been racking his brains, and when he heard the good question, he gritted his teeth and said:

“In fact, I think that with the size of our company, even if we doubled it, it would be difficult to become the general agent for those asset-heavy household products.”

"So we can't get much discount. The key is that these big items take up a lot of our funds."

Lin Hao saw Yu Guangxu stopped, so he said: "Keep talking!"

Yu Guangxu gritted his teeth and said, "So we might as well deal with those small and exquisite items."

"For example, clothing, accessories, zippers, woolen textiles, knitwear, handicrafts, cosmetics, toys, etc., not only do they take up less capital, but they also have very good profit margins. The key is that you don't have to worry about sales of these products, it's just a matter of how much profit you can make!"

"If necessary, we can even organize production ourselves and earn more!"

Lin Hao was a little surprised. Isn’t this just a compulsory mode?
The key is that these things are very suitable for Hong Kong Island. After all, Hong Kong Island is currently still relying on the welfare of population and low wages. Whether it is production or simple sales, the income from these small items is very considerable.

Then Lin Hao nodded and looked at other people. Then several company leaders in the office also expressed their opinions!
After several people expressed their opinions, Lin Hao had a discussion with them. Lin Hao did not comment too much on these people's views.

However, Lin Hao particularly values ​​Zhang Tiexiong and Yu Guangxu, because both of them have their own ideas and a pioneering spirit.

Lin Hao had a good impression of both of them. They were outstanding in both character and ability and could be regarded as his confidants.

As for other people, their ideas tend to be conservative, and Lin Hao doesn't care. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, as long as they are used rationally.

So Lin Hao thought about it, and finally said to a few people:

“Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yu’s insights are very accurate. In the future, cars, motorcycles, and various electronic small commodities will all be indispensable tools for every family!”

“So whether you’re selling or making these things, there’s a lot of potential and you’re bound to make more money.”

"As for our company's future strategy, we will expand our domestic and overseas sales channels in a short period of time. We want our products to be available in every country, but we will gradually shift to sales and physical manufacturing at the same time!"

"Expand sales channels? Make it available in all countries?" Zhang Tiexiong muttered to himself and asked Lin Hao:

"You mean, we turn to international trade?"

"Yes, that's right. I need our company to be able to engage in international trade." Lin Hao said to Zhang Tiexiong with a smile.

Zhang Tiexiong was very puzzled, so he said:

"But boss, I have a question. Most of the goods we sell are imported from Jiaoben Chicken and Yingjiang. We can't just buy their products and sell them to them, right?"

In this era, things like hawker sauce and chicken in a basin are all high-quality products and represent high technology.

It is still difficult for ordinary countries to compete with them. For example, in Hong Kong, most things are imported.

Although there are also products produced by themselves, most of them are other people's brands, and Hong Kong companies only do OEM processing, or they are products with little technical content.

Lin Hao thought about it and decided to reveal something, so he said:

Therefore, for the next period of time, Mr. Jiang from the Human Resources Department, you must quickly recruit a financial director, a full-time driver, and sales staff who can speak Japanese, Korean, and English!"

Jiang Xiangling from the Human Resources Department immediately said, "No problem, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "By the way, the financial director and the driver, I need to interview them in person!"

"Understood!" Jiang Xiangling agreed immediately. After all, the positions of driver, finance, and bodyguard were all close to the emperor and could not be taken lightly.

Then Lin Hao said to Zhang Tiexiong:
"Next, I will go to Jiaobenji to get the production line we need and prepare for the transition to physical manufacturing in the future!"

"I am from mainland China, and I know the situation on the mainland better than you. In the future, they will gradually open up the market. Both labor and raw materials will be cheaper."

"So overseas, we should be able to capture some low-end and mid-range markets."

"Mr. Lin is also from mainland China?" Zhang Tiexiong was shocked when he heard this, and then he laughed.

It’s good to be from the mainland, because he is also from the mainland. He was looked down upon by others before because he was from the mainland. Although he was talented, he was constrained everywhere.

Now that his boss is a mainlander like him, he naturally feels close to Lin Hao.

Then Zhang Tiexiong thought more about what this meant to the mainlanders.
This means that Lin Hao might have connections with the mainland, and anyone who has the ability to come to Hong Kong Island must have connections up there!
