Chapter 931: Someone Sent a Gun
There are too many bloody lessons on the market. Not to mention others, even President Wang's national husband, no matter what, the entrepreneurial conditions are much stronger than ordinary people, right?
Unfortunately, to this day, the severity of the situation is still beyond his expectations.
I think the harshest inference at the beginning was that there would be a financing gap under the premise that he refused to sign an unreasonable treaty, and it would be over with Pakistani milk. But when the stampede on the fresh food track caused the convenience store track to be affected, Chu Yuanxi thought about it calmly, and it seemed that the investors were a little too cold to him, and he felt a little bit of a sharp turn.
Will Xu Xin and Hu Shiheng be shaken? It's not impossible, even Yuan Jing may be shaken when it's really extremely cold, capital has its own will, and there are very few people as iron as Sun Dashengtou. In this way, it seems that the investment conference on December 4 is really necessary to take a walk, not only to meet the two main investors, this is a top circle conference, even if you know more bigwigs.
As a result, a week passed, on December 4th, the conference was opened in the afternoon, and Chu Yuanxi did not arrange any work in the morning, but Liu Lu and Yang Heng came together, saying that you will leave at noon anyway, so just take the time to meet someone!
Chu Yuan Xixin said how to gain four?See I don't need to make an appointment?
Unexpectedly, Yang Heng said that he also received a temporary request, and the person who came was Lu Yin, the beautiful CEO who was in a hurry.
Chu Yuanxi knew what was going on as soon as he heard Yang Heng say it.
The same is the collapse of the fresh track, during which some people run completely naked, exposing all kinds of problems to investors and employees like exhibitionism. There are even some founders who occupy all the links that can be greedy, and the personnel arrangements are relatives and cronies, and then collude with the supply chain to make all kinds of fancy rat warehouses, eat outsourcing vacancies, eat material price differences, and live like a textbook-like case.
Therefore, when they declared bankruptcy, the supply chain was very reluctant to eat the marrow and taste, and even put up banners to save them and encourage them to tide over the difficulties together.
But there are also people who are very particular, and they really died in an avalanche of the environment, which is not a crime of war, and they walk decently.
Yang Heng belongs to the decent faction, and even when he sees that the general trend is gone, he chooses to use the limited funds to pay off employee wages and supplier arrears, rather than just dumping it.
It was their founder and CEO Lu Yin who made this decision, his appearance is not low, his makeup and outfits show exquisite taste, and he must be radiant in the past, but he has no aura today.
"Mr. Chu, it's all my fault, the fault is not in the employees, nor in the company, the current situation is caused by my inability to raise money. ”
Lu Yin said a little hurriedly, and then sat down on the sofa stiffly. It is said that she is about the same age as Liu Lu, and she is still in the prime of life for women, with wisdom and beauty intertwined, and she has experience in Yale and well-known financial institutions and start-ups at home and abroad.
So, there must be some reluctant invitation? Chu Yuan Xixin said that as long as it is not from the fate, it is easy to say.
I only heard Lu Yin say: "It's definitely unrealistic to want you to invest in me now, I have already offended investors." I came to you this time because I heard Lao Yang say that Xiaokang is about to reproduce the flagship store in eastern Guangdong Province. I think so, the guys in my company are actually very capable, the work ability is quite strong, and I feel that our business model is also very close, you have a store, we also have a front warehouse, and we have also engaged in the integration of store and warehouse. Do you want to see if you can transplant it directly to you in parallel?"
"I'm not sleepy if you want to talk about this. Do you mean transplants, frontline workers or management teams, or all of them?"
Chu Yuanxi came to the spirit at that time, because of the successive expansion of stores in Yangcheng Pengcheng, eastern Guangdong Province, "skilled employees" is the most troublesome thing for Liu Lu in the future, which is very important and not easy to find the optimal solution, has been entangled, and the pressure is huge.
Sure enough, Chu Yuanxi turned his head and saw that Liu Lu was more energetic than him.
You must know that the Celestial Empire is very large, and the employment environment of each province is different, and the tonality and style are also different. Liu Lu is not so familiar with the labor market in the south, so the last time she went to the south to step on the spot, she had selected a few people from the south from among her capable cadres and sent them directly over, and the two senior directors comprehensively coordinated the recruitment of front-line employees in Yangcheng and Pengcheng. Even the Yuedong people in Yang Heng's team also supported the past.
Even so, she still had a strong desire to go over and supervise the work herself, because even the process of reproducing the Xiaokang Imperial Capital was not simple. For example, how to seamlessly connect the training link with store opening and logistics? The flow of personnel is huge, and she is afraid that something will go wrong and the whole chain will collapse directly.
But Liu Lu lacks skills, and now Chu Yuanxi still needs her to sit in the imperial capital.
And although Lu Yin's request is seeking to get rid of his own burden, it may be a good thing for the well-off, because people are looking at your lack of weapons in the war and directly sell you arms! The question is whether to buy it? Is it a Kalashnikov or a mariko in it?
The stampede on the fresh track has brought some hidden dangers to the convenience store track, but there are also some convenient conditions for Seon's loss.
At the beginning, Chu Yuanxi dug deep into the corner of Ba Ren Entertainment, and forced Cao Shan Artifact Company to stuff a lot of employees in the store just to let her train on her behalf, and then directly take it out to supplement the well-off. In the early days of the well-off, there is a large demand for front-line clerks, if it all depends on social recruitment, the skills required are not understood, a lot of training is required, and the people's hearts are not aligned, and the members with a certain foundation must be just needed.
Moreover, the operation of digging the foot of the wall is implemented, and it has the effect of eating more chickens. The next step is to reproduce the flagship model to Yangcheng and Pengcheng, Chu Yuanxi's original plan was that the artifact company was mainly developed in the south, and many of the employees who were transferred at the beginning were themselves from Yangcheng and Pengcheng, and later some people entered the logistics system, and some people stayed in the store. When the time comes, it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone to promote them all to the backbone and transfer them back.
In this situation, Chu Yuanxi had already greeted this group of employees in advance in his previous work, so there was not much resistance.
In this way, half of the problem is solved, there is a group of experienced store managers, deputy store managers and key logistics staff, and the rest is supplemented with local talents.
However, if you can get a work team relatively smoothly, the store and logistics system almost do not need to recruit outside, and even the local push team includes, and they are all experienced employees, who have just experienced a setback, and their mentality has been exercised, and they can be employed with a little training.
This is on the plus side.
Chu Yuanxi glanced at Yang Heng and Liu Lu, Yang Heng was quite surprised, Liu Lu was very calm, and he should not have communicated in advance. However, Liu Lu quickly smiled, probably similar to Chu Yuanxi's thinking. And Yang Heng, this period of time is actually similar to when Xue Jianhua first joined the company, and he is making up for the historical evolution and development goals of the well-off, so he can't react at once.
What about the potential risks? At this moment, Chu Yuanxi's mind was running at high speed.
Lu Yin's mentality of wanting to get rid of the burden is also understandable, because the urgent fresh food has fallen, and it is important to settle it properly. No matter whether this group of employees is good or bad in terms of ability and other aspects, no matter how good the quality is, it is a burden to the fresh food. Throwing the burden to the well-off, Lu Yin can not only save a lot of money, but also save a lot of trouble.
So is it a good thing? Chu Yuan Xixin said the only, no, no, the only question is whether the other party will become a small hill for pathological development, and whether this team has problems other than professional ability? For example, the most common problem among the startups that frequently fall on the fresh track, and the one that has been frequently mentioned recently, leads to a stampede......
Therefore, for the well-off, it is only necessary to identify the burden thrown by the other party, and whether it is a talent or a pit for the company. However, corruption basically does not happen to front-line employees, who suffer the most and have the least power, and the probability of their innocence is extremely high.
In other words, if the burden thrown over is an ordinary employee, Chu Yuanxi is interested in taking it, and if it is the management team that Lu Yin wants to throw over, his interest will be sharply reduced, because there will be a lot of background adjustment again. If you have both, you have to talk about it, and it's better to strip it off.
Before, Yang Heng only brought a few people, including Jian Mo, and Xiaokang sent Liu Lu to carry it personally, and Xue Jianhua and Yuan Yu assisted, and it took a lot of time to do a good job of back adjustment. If he wants to dump the management team, Chu Yuanxi is afraid that he can't afford to delay this time.
And the management team of Rush Fresh is obviously responsible for the fall of the enterprise, and it is difficult to say how capable they are, and it is difficult to distinguish between the advantages and disadvantages of absorbing this team and recruiting from the society.
At this time, Chu Yuanxi saw a trace of pain in Lu Yin's eyes, and she said quickly: "Employees, especially store employees. At the peak of our company, there were more than 1,000 employees, but now of course there are not so many, I don't know how many you can accept? ”
"Ah...... Xiaokang in Yangcheng and Pengcheng, the current plan is to open 20 stores, according to the configuration of a store manager and 5 clerks, at most 100 people can be accepted, and it is not at the same time, there is a process of opening a store. However, we also need employees in logistics, and we can roughly accept about 300 people. I've got to think about ......."
This "think" has different understandings for different people, Liu Lu thought that Chu Yuanxi was thinking about how to accept this group of people, Lu Yin thought that Chu Yuanxi was thinking about conditions, Yang Heng and Chu Yuanxi had similar ideas, thinking about whether to agree to this matter.
However, Yang Heng wanted to accommodate the other party's management team more, so he felt that it was just an employee's words that were boring, and he completely became a pick-up man.
But it's just an employee, which happens to be more in line with Chu Yuanxi's expectations, this plate has the next momentum, and Lu Yin's burden can be turned into a gun for him. However, Lu Yin is a stranger, and behind her is a strange team, Chu Yuanxi feels that she needs to talk again.
In terms of introducing talents, he did agree to directly introduce the management of the group, but he also divided the group. The Zayi Koala Group failed to be introduced, and Liu Lu's old colleague group was unsuccessful, but these two target groups are at least innocent and do not need to wear colored glasses for review.
And the rush of fresh food, including pine nuts, is stained. Chu Yuanxi couldn't fully believe Lu Yin, just as he didn't fully believe in Yang Heng, so he could only say that his credibility was relatively large. There are many players who have fallen in the fresh track, and some of them are entrepreneurial stars in the first half of the year, and they are only more credible if they go decently, but only those who have gone through the bankruptcy liquidation process are completely worthy of trust.
Bankruptcy liquidation may be the word that entrepreneurs don't want to see the most, not only because of feelings, but also because every account must be taken out for review and trial with a magnifying glass.
At the beginning of last month, when a teacher was on the list of old people, he posted a long article about his feelings, affectionately saying that entrepreneurs will be much easier after the limited liability company applies for bankruptcy liquidation, and many people do this, but I am different. I have to carry 600 million debts forward, which is much more difficult than traveling lightly, but there is still hope for creditors and investors.
In other words, this person feels that he is on the list of old men! The reality is that there is indeed such a possibility of moving the world. But it is also possible that bankruptcy has to be liquidated, and something quite joyful will happen during the liquidation, so nothing can be said that this property cannot be broken!
The way Lu Yin chose was also not bankrupt, and so was the pine nut spelling. Of course, entrepreneurs who have come to the step of bankruptcy and liquidation are basically incompatible with the word "decent" in this life, so they cannot be preconceived to suspect that entrepreneurs have cheated because they refuse to go bankrupt.
Thinking of this, Chu Yuanxi's interest in Lu Yin himself gradually increased, but the matter of taking over the staff team could be put on hold. Because, if Lu Yin herself is clean, then Chu Yuanxi's acceptance of her employees will not cause any unexplained problems at the investor level. But if Lu Yin is a scumbag with a beautiful appearance, then even if her staff team is innocent, she can't explain clearly when she meets the scene in the future, and if she has a relationship, and the relationship is still very deep, others will distrust.
This situation must be cautious, pits in commercial activities are everywhere, and many inadvertent places are buried with mines, and if you are not careful, you will hang the mines on your body, and you don't know yet.
Yang Heng doesn't have to be so suspicious because Yang Heng is only a co-founder, which is equivalent to Yang Yuan's beauty to the Ba people, and whether he is bankrupt or not is not what he says, and he is not the CEO. But Ruin is.
So Chu Yuanxi gently lifted the decision of whether to agree or not, and asked Lu Yin instead: "Mr. Lu, although it is time to come, it is a bit inappropriate to review why you did not succeed, but I still want to talk to you first." Let's spread it out and say, I don't know about you, and it's normal to have some concerns. ”
"No problem. Lu Yin chatted for a while, but he was not so restrained at first, "Actually, you are an entrepreneurial star, and you can easily start a company with tens of billions of dollars, and I would like to hear your opinion." ”
"Well, as you just said, the choice you made is not friendly to investors. This decision will definitely have a big impact on your future development, how do you think about it?"
The so-called decision is not to go bankrupt, to repay the money owed to the supplier, to find a way for the employees, and to pay compensation.
Although the money on the account is definitely not much, and the investors have lost a lot anyway, but if they are bankrupt and liquidated, they can still share the remaining money.
But Lu Yin's decision is to wipe out the money and leave no room for investors, so you can imagine what her current image looks like.
I saw Lu Yin say emotionally: "Because, I really think that this industry is valuable and promising, and I don't want to destroy the reputation of this industry." ”
Chu Yuan Xixin said that this reason is too subtle, and it is impossible to judge......
The so-called destruction of the industry's reputation, the immediate example is the imminent bankruptcy of Taojiji. Taojiji was launched in August last year, and it owed 1.6 billion in debt for more than a year, not burning 1.6 billion, but owing money, half and half to suppliers and advertisers.
In terms of this amount, the management of Taojiji is very good, and the people who have the ability to owe money and let others pay for themselves are definitely capable people. Like them, who can make thousands of creditors willing to advance money, they must be supernatural powers, and it would be better if they could repay it in the future.
In fact, the growth of Taojiji is also good, with more than 100 million registered users and a valuation of more than 5 billion, that is, it has surpassed the well-off.
It's a pity that this bubble can't be financed until October, and it won't work immediately, so it started a restructuring journey, which in hindsight is also a journey to destroy the reputation of e-commerce.
On the one hand, Taojiji guaranteed the success of the restructuring and guaranteed the repayment of the money, and on the other hand, urged the creditors to sign the debt restructuring agreement. Yesterday, that is, December 3rd, I also released the news that everything is going well, waiting for my father to pay. However, after the announcement, the gossip immediately flew all over the sky, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chu Yuanxi let out a sigh, but it was a pity that with the scale of more than 100 million users, it should no longer work.
Why are there so many discerning people all of a sudden? Because their announcement is so funny, saying that 20% will be repaid within one month after receiving the restructuring money, and the other eighty percent will be repaid when the valuation of the target company after the reorganization reaches 2 billion or the IPO. This means that Lao Tzu doesn't want to pay it back.
What are the consequences of the destruction of the reputation of the industry? It is to block the way of latecomers. When Taoji was rising, anyway, the rapid growth of the number of users was real, so merchants chose to believe in this traffic pool and agreed to advance funds to enter the market and send the goods to users, but the payment was pressed on Taojiji.
But when the next new e-commerce company emerges, will merchants and advertisers still choose to trust? There is no choice but cash.
You must know that there are even listed companies among the creditors of Taojiji, and they owe a lot of money, and they will definitely be stopped after being dragged down. In the future, when a similar situation occurs, will listed companies still dare to choose trust? Does the CEO still want to do it?
In that sense, it's a great thing to protect the industry's reputation, especially when others who are left behind are going crazy to destroy it.
Ruin's answer was perfect, however, this great premise is that Ruin himself is clean.
