Yuan Guogang's practical work experience and solutions to thorny problems are not bad, what he lacks is the overall situation that company executives should have, which Guan Yuntian knows very well. The purpose of equipping Lao Xu with assistants is to let Lao Xu withdraw from the front-line position, guide him on the side, let Yuan Guogang exercise and learn in actual work, and gradually establish an overall view of the whole company through specific work.

For such a personnel arrangement, Lao Xu is very generous on the surface, and he can't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, which is human nature, especially because he is influenced by traditional culture, even if a person like Lao Xu has a certain culture and modern consciousness, in the face of the rights that are about to be lost, there is also a little reluctance.

But Changda Group is a modern enterprise with sound rules and clear structure, and the replacement of the company's top management will become a system, and there will never be a lifelong system here, even if Guan Yuntian reaches retirement age, according to the regulations, the equity can be passed down, and when it is time to leave, it will still vacate the position.

Facing Yuan Guogang's voluntarily put down his figure, Lao Xu said frankly: "Guogang is too modest, I have heard of your actual work ability, I have long heard of the mess of dealing with the property company, if it weren't for your decisiveness and courage, it would be difficult for ordinary people to fiddle with those owners, and in the end I don't know what the property company will become." It's not flattery in person, even now, your ability is not below me, as Mr. Guan said, what you lack a little is only the overall concept, to put it bluntly, the angle of considering the problem is not broad enough, but this is not a very advanced knowledge, I believe that as long as you stand at the height of the whole company, this concept will be naturally formed. ”

Lao Xu's words are really not a compliment in person, thinking that the original Changda property company was not established for a long time, due to inexperience, negligent management, the property company is very chaotic, Yuan Guogang was ordered to be in danger, through a series of bold actions and fine management, not only successfully collected the property fees owed by many owners, but also standardized the management of the property company.

Guan Yuntian also encouraged Yuan Guogang, "Mr. Xu is right, after Guogang takes office, as long as you study modestly and add your previous work experience, with your ability, it won't take long to adapt to the new position." ”

Yuan Guogang immediately expressed his attitude to the two leaders, "I feel honored to be reused by the leaders, but after all, the education is not high, the ability is limited, I hope the leaders will give me more advice, I will also study hard, work hard, and strive to do a good job." ”

......

With the appointment of Yuan Guogang and the promotion of the director of the human resources department, the successor of the administrative director and the human resources director of Changda Group was formalized, and Ye Jiayi was responsible for the recruitment of the financial director candidate has also entered the interview process, the candidate surnamed Zhang who was looking for by the headhunting company came from a prefecture-level city in the mainland, in his early forties, graduated from a 211 university in the late nineties, majored in economic management, and served as the chief accountant of a listed company for five years, which has become the target of headhunting companies.

After Guan Yuntian heard the report, he thought that what Changda Group was looking for was not a ready-made financial director, the candidate was still young and a little less qualified, and he could follow the current financial director Lao Ding, exercise and study for a year or two before taking up the post.

Except for the slightly less qualified, Ye Jiayi was satisfied with the other conditions of the candidates, and she suggested that Guan Yuntian, Lao Ding and her form a review panel to interview the candidates.

Director Zhang was invited to Changda Group, and Ye Jiayi treated important guests like an important guest, except for recruitment

After the banquet, he was also arranged to visit the production bases and agricultural projects of Changda Group, and Director Zhang praised the scale and management of Changda Group.

On the morning of the third day, in the small conference room on the fifth floor of the headquarters of Changda Building, an interview was underway, Guan Yuntian first said: "It is understood that Director Zhang used to work for a listed company, but that company is now suspended, if you can, can you analyze the reasons for the company's difficulties from the perspective of financial management?"

Director Zhang thought for a while, "In the big picture, the company's products went wrong, the original products were replaced by products with better performance on the market, and they failed to develop marketable new products in time, resulting in a shrinking market, the company's financial situation continued to deteriorate, and it was finally suspended by the regulatory authorities." ”

"Before the suspension, how was the company's financing situation and cash flow?" asked Lao Ding, the chief financial officer.

"Before the suspension, it was not a big problem to raise funds in the stock market, the key was that the products were unsalable, the financing had no purpose, the funds had no purpose, and the management did not carry out that operation. As for the cash flow of the enterprise, it cannot be said that it is depleted, and it is getting smaller and smaller anyway. ”

"Director Zhang, the company you used to work for, they ended up in business difficulties, and the product backwardness was the main reason, in your opinion, is there any impropriety in financial management? That is to say, because of financial management problems, it has also had a negative impact on the operation of the enterprise, even if this impact is a secondary factor. Ye Jiayi said.

"There is a problem in this regard, although the monthly, quarterly and annual reports of listed companies must be strictly audited, but under the instruction of the company's senior management, the financial department has made some false accounts, resulting in a lag in supervision, and when the regulatory authorities find the problem, it is too late. It has to be said that the financial management department did not adhere to the principles, and in a sense, it was a dereliction of duty. Director Zhang said frankly.

"Director Zhang, how do you think the financial director of an enterprise should grasp this degree of relationship between implementing the decisions of the CEO or senior management of the enterprise and adhering to the principles?" As the chairman of Changda Group, Guan Yuntian asked such a sharp question to the interviewee, which surprised Ye Jiayi and Lao Ding present.

Faced with Guan Yuntian's question, Director Zhang blushed, he didn't know how to answer, because sitting opposite was the top decision-maker and financial director of Changda Group. Guan Yuntian told him not to have any scruples, and to say whatever he wanted.

After all, Lao Zhang has worked in the financial department of a listed company for several years, and he has seen some of the world, coupled with Guan Yuntian's relief, he calmed down and said slowly: "This question is really difficult to answer, since Mr. Guan is so generous, I will dare to speak out." If I am the chief financial officer, first of all, I must understand the personality and temper of the senior decision-maker, if the other party is like Mr. Guan, belongs to the open-minded and listens to different opinions, then I must adhere to the principle, for the long-term development of the company's decision-making, I will resolutely support, if the high-level decision-making is not conducive to the development of the enterprise, I will fight for reason. ”

"Thank you Director Zhang for your face-to-face flattery, I hope I'm the kind of person you said I am. As a senior decision-maker of the enterprise, I understand the difficulties of the position of the chief financial officer, you are right, for the kind of arbitrary decision-making, and can not listen to different opinions of the manager, you are really not good to do, stick to the principle, for fear of offending the boss, there is no benefit to yourself, turn a blind eye, and can not watch the enterprise jump into the fire pit. However, in Changda Group, we must adhere to the principles, no matter who we do, as long as what we do is harmful to the company, we must fight for reason. "Guan Yuntian said.

"I don't know much, but I've met a few CEOs of big companies, and to be honest, Kwan is always the most outspoken person I've ever met. If I have the opportunity to work with you

, not only very honored, but also enjoyable. "Lao Zhang, at least his emotional intelligence is not low.

"Director Zhang, what are your views and suggestions on the relationship between product sales prices and enterprise accounts receivable?" Ye Jiayi's question, if explored in detail, can be written into a paper.

To be honest, without a certain theoretical foundation and practical experience, there is no way to answer such a question, and to be honest, I can only talk about the surface. ”

This is a topic of discussion in Ye Jiayi's MBA class in her past, she came easily, but she gave this supervisor Zhang a big problem, she knows the difficulty of this question, for Lao Zhang's answer, Ye Jiayi will not be too demanding.

This is not only a business management problem, but also a financial management problem, there is a certain optimization relationship between the product sales price and the scale of the company's accounts receivable. Everyone is willing to sell their products at a high price and trade in cash, but some users can pay a high price but ask for a deferral of payment, and some customers are willing to trade in cash, but they suppress the price in every way. If the company's products want to sell at a high price, it will inevitably face the situation of deferred payment, after the payment period is extended, the accounts receivable of the enterprise will increase accordingly, and a large number of accounts receivable will affect the cash flow of the enterprise, and increase the cost of working capital.

If a company pursues cash transactions, it will inevitably lose money in terms of price unless the odd goods are available.

"It depends on the company's business philosophy and financing ability, as well as the market competitiveness of the product. Director Zhang made a preliminary analysis and clarified his views.

Ye Jiayi nodded, she felt that the other party's answer was barely acceptable.

Through the nearly two-hour interview in the morning, the three members of the evaluation team had the same evaluation of the interviewer, and they all believed that the interviewer had a high comprehensive quality and professional and technical level, after all, the other party had only been the chief accountant of a listed company and lacked the ability to control the overall situation, which was understandable.

"Mr. Ding, if you let this Director Zhang follow you for a year or two, do you think he has the ability to be a financial director?" Guan Yuntian said.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, young people, smart brains, as long as they are willing to learn, through a year or two of exercise, there is no problem in controlling the overall situation. ”

Ye Jiayi also thinks that in time, this Director Zhang can take over as the chief financial officer, but she reminded Guan Yuntian again: "If your daughter Guan Linshan returns to Changda Group in the future, how do you plan to arrange it? After all, her profession is financial management." ”

Guan Yuntian was silent for a while, after his daughter graduated with a master's degree, she could have directly entered the finance department of Changda Group, followed Lao Ding to exercise for a period of time, and naturally succeeded Lao Ding and became the financial director of the group company, but Guan Linshan had her own plans, she had to go out to apply, go to PwC or KPMG, Guan Yuntian, an enlightened father, naturally would not stop him, and let his daughter make her own decisions.

Ye Jiayi's reminder made Guan Yuntian have some scruples, but after thinking about it, I don't know if Guan Linshan is willing to come back in the end, so I can't delay the training of the successor of the financial director of Changda Group in order to wait for her, right?

"According to the original plan, it is not known whether Guan Linshan will come back or not, even if she is willing to come back in the future, she can do other work, she does not necessarily have to be the financial director, don't think about it so much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Otherwise, bring in this Director Zhang first and let him share some important work, but don't explain it, and then look at the situation. ”
