Chapter 201: Expanding Interest Groups
There is always a side of deceit in life. Behind the seemingly calm and calm, Shi Lei, who started from the grassroots, stepped forward to run the Central Yunnan Agricultural Trade Company, and he was under all kinds of pressure from other competitors, both overtly and covertly.
Where there are interests, there is competition, and shopping malls are like battlefields, which is a world where the law of the jungle eats the strong. Although their Central Yunnan Agricultural Trading Company developed rapidly by chance, it became the largest private agricultural trading company in the local area in just one year, and it has a considerable advantage over several private companies engaged in the operation of mountain goods earlier, and its economic benefits are even more incomparable than those private mountain goods companies established after following the trend. However, grassroots is grassroots after all, and it does not mean that they can unscrupulously confront those similar companies.
In this era, those people can make a fortune one step ahead, and they do not rely on daring to think and dare to do, but rely on luck, and the invisible network of relationships is very important. Many of the managers of private agricultural trading companies that already have a certain size are originally people from within the supply and marketing system, for example. Those people are not dry eaters, and the network of relationships behind them is intricate. It's just for them, and suddenly the Yunnan Central Agricultural Trade Company, an outsider in the one-acre and three-point land they are familiar with, competes fairly on the surface, and there will be no shortage of dirty methods in the secret.
Although Qi Jingtao is not on the shareholder register of the Central Yunnan Agricultural Trade Company, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is the big boss behind the company, including the granary river orchard operated and managed by his father Qi Zhengming. Although Qi Jingtao works in a large enterprise, he is actually a grassroots one. Those people couldn't figure out where his money was coming from. However, it does not prevent someone from giving him a message and popularizing the truth that everyone is rich and prosperous. Therefore, this time Shi Lei asked him to talk about shares, and gave up 29% of the shares, so that he could have employee shareholdings and expand the community of interests.
Shi Lei heard Qi Laobiao say this, and understood that not only he was personally under the pressure exerted by those people, but Shi Lei, who was born recklessly, naturally had his tough side, and gritted his teeth and said: "They thought that we spent a lot of money to buy land and shops in Central Yunnan and Chuncheng at the beginning of this year, and we had no money, so they wanted to use our liquidity through the bank cards in the five districts, so that we could not receive the goods this year, so they could take the opportunity to insert in or crush us?" Hehe, the term of our bank loan is one year, and before it expires, the Agricultural Bank of China and the credit union began to rush impatiently. What's more, Lao Tzu doesn't want loans from their Agricultural Bank and credit cooperatives in the future, and the fund account will also be transferred to other banks in the state city, see what they do?"
Qi Jingtao smiled dispensably: "Stone, the name of our company is the Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company, and it is almost time to set up the company's headquarters in the state city." There are some things in the township that are more complicated, haven't you heard of 'the temple is small and the demon is big, and the pond is shallow and the king is eight'?"
Shi Lei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are always some people at the grassroots level who are not even sesame officials, and they can't do it with a little power in their hands. ”
These things are the norm at the grassroots level, Qi Jingtao lives in the small dam of the fifth district, he will not know the dirty things that have happened in the fifth district? It is normal to eat and take cards, and it is not uncommon for them to take advantage of the situation.
The development of the Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company is not smooth sailing, Shi Lei is enterprising, and Qi Jingtao is strong and courageous. If it weren't for the experienced Zhang Jinglei in charge of the company, maybe the company would have changed beyond recognition.
This time, Shi Lei took the initiative to give up part of his shares, and Qi Jingtao planned to take the opportunity to solve some of the company's hidden dangers. Most of the company's employees, except for a few in the early days of the business, have little loyalty to the company. They come to work in the company, either for a job to support their families or for a high salary in the company. There are also some special employees who are placed in after the company is booming, and those who have a little authority find a relationship to settle in.
In these cases, Zhang Jinglei, the manager of the administrative department who is also in charge of personnel, has talked to Qi Jingtao that ordinary employees do not matter, and those special employees who are placed in by virtue of various relationships must be treated differently.
If you just look at the wages and benefits of the Central Yunnan Agricultural Market, the employees who are arranged to work in the map are okay. For those who have a little power in their hands, it is normal for them to arrange the work of relatives and friends on their own one-third of an acre. This situation exists in many units, and the small Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company naturally cannot avoid it, and it must be received. Since it is an employee of the company, the company can arrange how it should be arranged, and it should be used as such, and it will be reused if it is really capable.
If there are other intentions, those special employees who are placed in must be dismissed when the time is right. Qi Jingtao is fearless now, he has his own bottom line, and his dog-like personality is very terrifying once it breaks out.
Qi Jingtao thought of this, and said with a smile: "Stone, the employee stock ownership we engaged in this time is not simply to motivate the company's employees, but also to share risks. Now that the company's shares are in the hands of you and me, some people think that the two of us have no background and are easy to bully, and they always want to get in and get a piece of the pie.
What if, like Manager Zhang, also holds shares in the company? Manager Zhang herself is a senior executive of the company, and her original status is not low, and her husband was still the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau before his retirement. Even if he is retired, he is still a big god in our small place.
In our company, she is currently the only one like Manager Zhang. However, the social relations behind those employees who have been placed in are not so simple. If they move, it will be enough to deal with those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods they are currently encountering. ”
Shi Lei was happy: "Old Biao, you plan to fight poison with poison, use the employees who are already in our company, tie their interests to us, and deal with those outsiders with ill intentions?"
"With this meaning in it, who makes our company not have enough social influence, and the two of us don't have any social background?
"Old Watch, where is your employee shareholding as an employee shareholder? You are distributing dividends as a good money boy and pulling allies!" Shi Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"So, we can't let the company's shares go to someone else who has nothing to do with it. You believe me, in the future, our company will not have the problem of losses, only the question of profits. When you give up those shares, we are not only to motivate the company's employees to work hard, but also to make them able to stand with the company through thick and thin, not to make a fortune for unrelated people. Qi Jingtao said confidently.
Shi Lei was a little confused, not knowing where Qi Jingtao's self-confidence came from. But he didn't bother to think about it, and asked directly, "What do you say?"
"Stone, believe it or not, you give up those shares now. Even if we evaluate the company's current assets, a premium of 20% or even 50%, so that the company's employees can pay for the purchase and sell it immediately?"
Qi Jingtao had already made some kind of decision in his heart, so he simply talked to Shi Lei about the pros and cons of employee stock ownership to see if his idea was feasible. After all, Shi Lei is the general manager of the company, the specific manager of the company, and the person who puts it on the table, and he must respect his ideas and reach a consensus to be conducive to the future development of the company.
"They will definitely be able to sell, as long as the company guarantees annual dividends, the shares they buy will make a steady profit. Shi Lei said with certainty that he knew the company's situation and knew how much benefit he had conceded.
Qi Jingtao smoked a cigarette and said calmly: "Our company is still developing and growing, now this group of employees can get the company's shares, what will the employees who enter the company do in the future, we will continue to give up the shares? If we do this, in the end, the shares held by the two of us will inevitably become thinner and thinner." And if we give away those shares, we must hold them in the hands of those employees, and we will not let people with ulterior motives buy them, and they will be in their hands, and finally we will reach a controlling stake in our company?"
Shi Lei is happy, his education level is not high, but he has been in the society for so many years, and his knowledge is not bad: "Is it like you speculating in stocks? Some people are optimistic about the prospects of our company, and buy shares from the company's employees at a premium, not only can they get dividends, but they can also control our company when the conditions are ripe?"
