"Employees? Is it because these employees rely on their long time in the company and are senior employees, so they rely on the old and sell the old to deliberately work and do not work, which leads to the deterioration of the situation of the company?" Tang Ran asked.

Cheng Qian was a little surprised by Tang Ran's question: "I don't understand why you think like this, we don't use a lifetime employment system like Japanese companies, if someone deliberately does not contribute to work, with some ulterior motives, then I will definitely ask him to leave; this is Silicon Valley, I can find other replacement employees at any time, no one can be replaced, and I have only been in office for a month, and I will not have any emotional burden." ”

After explaining so before, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran suddenly remembered that this is not in China, and there is no such thing as a career establishment, in a private enterprise, if someone dares to rely on the old and sell the old, then the boss can let him go at any time in order to improve efficiency.

"I see, but if it's not the problem of employees relying on the old and selling the old, then can there be any other problems?" Zhou Ming asked.

Cheng Qian nodded and said: "Actually, I can understand your thoughts, and as far as the current situation of Jieke Company is concerned, it is true that the old employees account for the majority, they do not contribute to work, but they do not have the meaning of hard work, but because of their identity as old employees, Jieke Company has fallen into today's predicament...... In short, the problem is very complicated!"

Cheng Qian scratched his head in distress as he spoke, as if he didn't know what to say, and what he said was unclear made Zhou Ming and Tang Ran confused.

Suddenly, Cheng Qian seemed to suddenly think of something, he took out a document from his body and handed it to Zhou Ming, this action made Zhou Ming stunned for a moment, obviously after the previous contact, he also saw who was in charge.

Zhou Ming naturally accepted it unceremoniously, and Cheng Qian explained: "This is a performance report about the company this month, originally I planned to fax it back to the board of directors, but since you came first, you also need to understand the company's situation, so I will show it to you first." ”

Zhou Ming nodded silently, then opened the document given by Cheng Qian and read it with Tang Ran, Tang Ran looked at it twice and said: "Although I don't know the situation here, your performance of 200,000 US dollars is really a little less, I'm afraid this is not enough for the rent of the office." ”

Tang Ran's evaluation made Cheng Qian feel very embarrassed, and he had to continue: "There is actually a reason for this performance, you can focus on those old employees who are still in the company, I have laid off all the new employees who have not performed well, and the old employees I have already introduced to you in the company just now." ”

Following Cheng Qian's introduction, Tang Ran found those familiar names, and she was very curious: "Their performance is very good compared to others, this doesn't seem to be a problem." ”

Cheng Qian shook his head: "Their performance is good, and it is indeed better than the performance of those new employees, but the problem is precisely here, I think you must not guess this question, this ......"

Without waiting for Cheng to finish speaking, Zhou Ming said: "If I guess wrong, when you took office, you should have set a baseline for all employees whether they were laid off, that is, everyone's performance, and the performance of these old employees is just equal to or slightly higher than the performance baseline you set, right?"

"How do you see that? This document doesn't seem to have a baseline on it. Cheng Qian asked in surprise.

"It's true that there isn't, but I see that the performance of these old employees is basically the same, so I guessed so, and it seems that I was blinded. Zhou Ming then said, "Then let me guess again, since it is a problem of employees, and not a problem of not being able to work hard, then is it possible that they can generate more orders, but they have all pressed down, just to achieve the performance you specified, to ensure that they will not be laid off, and do not want to generate as many orders as possible?"

If Zhou Ming's guess before was just surprising Cheng Qian, then now it shocked him, Cheng Qian looked at Zhou Ming dumbfounded, feeling extremely incredible, you must know that it took him a whole month to find out about this situation, but I didn't expect Zhou Ming to see it just by looking at the performance report, what kind of person is this!

Of course, Cheng Qian also understands that Zhou Ming now has his own reminder and has the company's performance report in his hand, but based on these, it can be found that this insight is still terrifying.

"No wonder the board of directors will hand over the management of the company to you, it seems that you do have this ability, especially you, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are so surprising. Cheng Qian said sincerely.

"Thank you very much for the compliment, although I think it's more of a performance document that you gave me, I just read the information on it. Zhou Ming humbled himself, and then continued, "But this problem is indeed very difficult to deal with, because they did not contribute to the work, and they are indeed the best performance of the company, you can't fire them because you suspect that they deliberately pressed the order, so you will definitely be sued, so Mr. Cheng Qian doesn't know if you have any countermeasures for this situation?"

Facing Zhou Ming's question, Cheng Qian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If I can think of a way, I'm afraid the board of directors won't come to you again." ”

"I think Mr. Cheng Qian, you may have misunderstood, we will come to Jieke Company because of other things, and it has nothing to do with your ability, or we don't want to compete with you for jobs. Zhou Ming said.

Cheng Qian looked at Zhou Ming a little inexplicably: "I don't understand what you mean, but I really can't help it, the reason why I prepared the fax document is that I hope to hear the opinions of the board of directors." ”

While talking, the waiter of the restaurant began to serve the food, Zhou Ming opened a bottle of wine for himself and Cheng Qian, asked Tang Ran for a bottle of milk, and then raised a glass to Cheng Qian and said: "Mr. Cheng Qian, I thank you very much for telling us about this today, let us know the real situation of Jieke Company, I toast you." ”

After speaking, Zhou Ming raised his head and drank a glass first, and Cheng Qian sighed: "Actually, I am a little unwilling, after all, I came to Jieke Company in the hope of bringing him out of the predicament, this is the first time I have independently led a company, I really hope that I can really make a career, I also hope that I can create a miracle, but obviously I am a little overthinking." ”

Cheng Qian shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, and then said to Zhou Ming: "But I believe that Mr. Zhou Ming, you will definitely be able to." ”

Zhou Ming smiled casually, noncommittal to this question, Tang Ran took the initiative to help Zhou Ming pour a full glass of wine, Zhou Ming raised his glass and toasted Cheng Qian and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Cheng Qian's plans are for the future?"

Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, then shook his head and said, "I'll go and submit my resume and find a way to find another job." ”

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did Mr. Cheng Qian say that? Isn't Mr. Cheng Qian an important manager of the family?"

"If I had, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been kicked out in just a month. ”

Cheng Qian said with a wry smile, and then he said his own business, it turned out that he was just a business representative of another technology company, because his performance was very good, so he was selected by the headhunting company and was hired by Jieke Company with a high salary.

"If I hadn't been tempted by the high salary on the board of directors of JECCO, I am afraid that I would still be a very good business representative by now. Cheng Qian said with great emotion, "It seems that people still can't be too greedy, I only have the ability to do my own business, but I still want to lead a company, or a little too conceited, but I just hope that my marketing ability will not be taken away together, at least I still point to my marketing ability to find another job!"

Listening to Cheng Qian's words, Zhou Ming nodded silently, although Cheng Qian's words had a lot of self-deprecating elements, but Zhou Ming also understood.

It seems that Cheng Qian is indeed not an important manager of the Tang family, and may not even be a member of the Tang family, this is probably because the Tang family has used other methods to make Jackco turn a profit, and other professional managers don't want to come over to make trouble for themselves when they look at Jack's situation, so the Tang family can only poach a person from the outside;

Zhou Ming thought about this information in his mind and then asked Cheng Qian: "Then would you like to continue to stay in Jieke Company?"

Faced with this sudden question, Cheng Qian was completely stunned, Tang Ran also looked at Zhou Ming in surprise, Cheng Qian looked at Zhou Ming in a daze and said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, please forgive me, this joke is not funny. ”

"But I'm not kidding. Zhou Ming said, "I know that my invitation is very presumptuous, but listening to what Mr. Cheng Qian said just now, it seems that you will not go back to the original company, so instead of looking for a new company, I think it is better to stay in Jieke, I can guarantee that you will get the same salary as the original, if Mr. Cheng Qian does not believe it, I can write you a check immediately." ”

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he took out the checkbook from his pocket and wrote a check for one million and handed it to Cheng Qian: "Is this number enough?"

Looking at the string of zeros on the check in front of him, although it may be a blank check, Cheng Qian had a hunch that this was indeed true.

Thinking of this mileage, he looked up at Zhou Ming and asked, "Why?"

"Because I need someone who understands my colleagues and has strong business skills to help me, and Mr. Cheng Qian, I believe you are the person I am looking for!"

Zhou Ming said very resolutely, and then he asked Cheng Qian: "And I believe that you yourself are also very unwilling, right?"

In the face of Zhou Ming's rhetorical question, Cheng Qian was silent, and Zhou Ming then continued: "Maybe the contact between us is not deep, but I can feel that you are a very self-motivated and responsible person, and you came to Jieke Company more to stretch your ambitions, in order to bring Jieke Company back to life, not just for the money." ”

"If it's just for money, then I believe that with your business ability, you can go to those big companies, so maybe you can easily get a bonus of 100,200,000 a month, and then get a higher salary or even share dividends by being promoted to a higher position. ”

Zhou Ming paused here and then said: "But you didn't choose this, but chose to come to Jieke, I don't know how the headhunter talked to you, and I don't know how Jieke's board of directors looks at you, but in my eyes, you are a hungry wolf who is eager to prove yourself, you will not show off how much food you have hunted, you will only prove to everyone that you can defeat a male lion and be the most powerful ruler on the grassland!"

"And before Cheng, you have been in Jacko for a month, which means that you have been working hard for a month, and no one knows how much effort you have put in in this month, so are you willing to give up now?"

Zhou Ming stared into Cheng Qian's eyes and asked the last question: "So do you want to admit your failure like a coward, or do you want to follow Lao Tzu to fuck it again and become the hero who saves Jackie?"

Coward or hero?

Faced with this question, Cheng Qian shouted out his answer with red eyes: "Hero, I want to be a hero!"
