“...... Perhaps, just about ten minutes ago, I called his house to ask why he didn't come to work, and his wife told her that she had left us and went to Penney. ”

It was Carl, senior vice president of Baofeng Electric Company, who spoke.

There was no trace of regret on his face, but he seemed to be a little excited, if Joe Austin really left, then Carl would have a chance to get the position of CEO, no wonder he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.

"Penny, which department store?" Han Chudong said in surprise.

"I didn't ask too much, but I can't think of any other company that would poach Joe other than Jesse Penney for that name. ”

. Penney, a retail giant with an annual turnover of more than $5 billion.

The diversified structure covers pharmaceutical sales, clothing and home decoration retail, restaurants, supermarkets, real estate, financial business, etc.

Han Chudong saw the profile of this company when he was investigating Wal-Mart, and because it occupies an important position in the Citi consortium, it was specially marked out when collecting relevant data on supermarkets, and I still have a bit of an impression now.

I don't know if it means that Penny intends to enter the home appliance retail market, and Han Chudong thinks it is more likely.

Assuming that it is really poached, it is enough to make Joe Austin give up his current superior salary and pay for various default clauses of unilateral resignation, plus other old employees who have left, which is enough to prove that the poaching force is rich and ambitious, at least the benefits are big enough to make Joe Austin choose to betray.

The bad news is obvious.

The good news is that you don't have to bother to investigate who the ghost in the company is.

Han Chudong thought that there was a tacit understanding between himself and Joe Austin, speaking of which he was still one of the oldest employees in the group, and he couldn't figure out whether it was because he adjusted too many "old employee" positions last year, which made him feel cold, or for some other reason, anyway, saying goodbye itself is enough to explain many problems.

Unhappy and at the same time a little emotional.

There is no need to talk about feelings, no matter the position, as long as you don't hold shares, you are all workers, since you are all hard work, of course, you will choose the highest bidder to work, this is human nature.

Although he didn't hate Joe Austin, he poached so many employees, and he might also become a competitor of Baofeng Electric, so don't expect Han Chudong to read Joe Austin's good and wish him a bright future.

At this time, I can't wait to dig up his business, and after using Joe Austin to use, I will kick him out again, and mix it up to poverty.

In this way, Han Chudong was able to taunt a few words in front of that guy and get over it.

......

The departure itself is not important.

Three-legged toads are rare, and two-legged executives are still hard to find?

The important thing is that with the departure of Joe Austin and dozens of old employees, it will have a negative impact on the employees of Baofeng Electric, and they are uncomfortable than being betrayed by partner Bushnell.

But Han Chudong didn't show it on his face, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Let's go, anyway, there are so many companies that start businesses that learn from our model, and this one is not bad." You have to take all the people under your command with you, and if Joe does leave, then I will pick an experienced and capable executive to take over Joe's position, and you know how to manage this company better, and you should be able to select a new CEO among all of you. ”

After finishing speaking, he saw that his eyes were shining, like hungry wolves, Han Chudong reluctantly added: "Don't contact me privately, use performance and ability to prove, I originally wanted to tell Qiao, tell him that he will give some shares as a reward when he goes public, and now it seems that he is going to cheapen someone here, three independent directors, what do you think?"

"Independent directors" is not a new term, but it is still relatively rare, the three independent directors of Baofeng Electric do not serve in the company, and the three electrical appliance manufacturers send them over to supervise the daily management of the company.

Because the controlling stake is held by Han Chudong, and the performance is booming, and the investment has brought returns, it is generally just sitting and almost not actively participating in decision-making, not to mention that even if any suggestions are made, whether to adopt it or not depends on Han Chudong's meaning.

One of the independent directors said decisively: "I also think it is better to select from within the company, in order to prevent the loss of market share, I personally recommend speeding up the expansion rate, before Penny starts to compete with us, to occupy more markets, if Penny really intends to open a home appliance sales business, it is worth taking seriously, as far as I know, it is very good at imitating the business model of other companies." ”

"I know this, I am a shareholder of Wal-Mart, and its supermarket chain business seems to have been established after Wal-Mart's success. When Han Chudong spoke, he suddenly thought of the Penguin Company of later generations, these wealthy, powerful, and large enterprises like to learn from other successful business models, and then use their own advantages to turn around and crush the former learning goals.

Fortunately, judging from the current scale of Baofeng Electric, it is not a small business that can be slaughtered by others, and it is relatively abundant in terms of funds, even with the help of Joe Austin, it is difficult to say who bullies whom.

Baofeng Electric has a complete supply chain, but also to support the price war, last December's trade-in activities, has made many competitors difficult to let go, a large number of small and medium-sized home appliance retail stores collapsed.

Another INED stayed up late last night and began to doze off from the beginning of the meeting, followed by a sentence: "If you lack funds, you can get financing from our Panasonic Electric, judging from last year's performance, less than 30 million US dollars is definitely not a problem." ”

"I'll talk about this later, the company is not short of money for the time being, if it's all right, then continue to discuss, there are other meetings waiting for me in the morning......"

Han Chudong asked someone to bring another cup of coffee.

The vacation is comfortable, and the state is not in the state after returning to work, especially after hearing the bad news one after another, the whole person can't lift his spirits.

In addition to the company's planning, he has set some small goals for himself this year, the purchase of a winery, the acquisition of an airplane, these have been turned over, the island has also been bought, the yacht that he did not plan to buy, was used by mistake to pay off debts, and there is almost no lack of material things.

I had no choice but to think about earning him another dozen or two billion dollars, and then I was addicted to being the richest man, and I was just a little bit closer to surpassing Paul Getty Sr., and it was better to buy more teams and hide more art.

There is no need to worry about the hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, and it is not a one-time settlement, inflation is so fast, and the least valuable thing is money.

Looking at the matter of speeding up the development of the IT industry, he suddenly thought of the situation on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, which made Han Chudong think that it was necessary to think carefully about it, so as not to become a historical sinner......
