Chapter 202: The human heart is higher than the sky
Qi Jingtao and Shi Lei both know that most of the company's employees are composed of people, the vast majority of employees from rural areas, and there are not a few short-sighted people.
It's good that Shi Lei understands, Qi Jingtao smiled: "That's what it means." Even if our company develops and grows in the future, it will not engage in any tricks of listing to make money, but the manipulation of shares is a truth, and it is even less standardized than the stock market, and it is easy to be controlled. ”
"Those employees who have invested in the purchase of shares will not be so short-sighted, right?" Shi Lei asked suspiciously. The road to the development and growth of the Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company is leapfrog development, and the future of the company should be a bright future, and the golden hen model is rolling in financial resources. The company's employees become shareholders and hold a certain percentage of the company's shares in their hands, which is like raising a golden hen that lays golden eggs. It is a long stream, and there are dividends every year of the original shares, everyone will calculate this account, and everyone understands this truth.
"How could it not? This is the same thing as stock trading. Let's take an example, if you give up 29% of the shares this time, if it is now worth 1 million and distributes it to the company's employees according to the size of their contribution to the company, they can buy it for themselves with a total contribution of 1 million. According to the company's performance this year, at the end of the year, this part of the shares can be distributed 500,000 dividends, and the shares in their hands will increase to 1.5 million. If someone is willing to pay 3 million, or even 5 million, to buy the shares held by those employees who hold shares in the company at this time, do you think anyone will be tempted?" Qi Jingtao explained to Shi Lei with a simple example, his so-called example is very close to the actual situation of the company's profit distribution. Of course, that is what happens if the company has to distribute dividends if there are other shareholders.
"Hehe, it's hard to say. Shi Lei replied with a wry smile. He knows better what happens to the majority of the company's employees. They are all farmers, and a few of them understand the cats behind the company's operation and management. The word is the head, a thousand birds are in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand. Compared with Qi Jingtao and Shi Lei, even if the company's shares are distributed, they are only small shareholders, and they cannot interfere in actual operation and management. For them, it is just an extra bonus in addition to the salary, bonus and benefits. It is impossible to explain and promise them how long this agricultural trading company can exist and where its development potential is, and it is impossible for them to be full of trust and confidence between Shi Lei and Qi Jingtao.
"That's right, this year we allocated 29% to the employees who started the business with us, and those shares are theirs. Even if we have a restrictive clause and we have the right of first refusal, we can't recover the shares held by those employees even if we have a hostile takeover. If we distribute another 5 percent, or more shares, in a few years, how many shares will we have left, how many shares will we have in the hands of employees, and how many will others acquire them purposefully? Qi Jingtao thinks longer.
"Hehe, when the company really develops and grows, maybe the two of us will be out?" Shi Lei suddenly realized, shook his head and smiled bitterly, good people are not so easy to do.
"If we keep selling our shares to new employees, we can get a lot of money, but we don't control the shares that are sold. If someone really continues to buy those scattered shares, according to the articles of association of the joint-stock company, the two of us will be out of the market sooner or later. What are we going to do then? Just give it up or start anew?
Therefore, I would rather not have a penny, and give up the part of the shares you give up according to a certain proportion, which will be reviewed by the company's board of directors and distributed to the company's employees as dry shares. They only have the right to dividends, not the right to control shares. During the company's working period, or within a certain period of time after retirement, the company's employees can adjust and distribute certain shares every year according to the size of the employee's contribution or other reasons, and enjoy the company's dividends other than salary income, but they cannot take away and dispose of the company's shares, nor can they resell the company's shares. In this way, no matter how the company grows in the future, what is the size of the company, and what is the benefit? This 29% stake is enough to be used as employee stock ownership of the company. ”
Qi Jingtao became more and more confident in the virtual share distribution method mentioned in the information, and felt that he had found a good way to solve the company's employee loyalty and the company's hidden dangers.
"Lao Biao, I haven't heard of this kind of shareholding method, it seems to be not the same thing as the employee shareholding method of those state-owned enterprise reforms. How should this virtual stock be hyped?" Shi Lei considered it more realistically, not as whimsical as Qi Jingtao, and not pragmatic.
After the actual shareholders of the two companies have discussed and reached an agreement on the distribution of shares, how should employee stock ownership be implemented, what are the policies and legal basis, and how to formulate the employee stock ownership plan? Qi Jingtao and Shi Lei do not know these and need more company executives to intervene in the discussion.
Equity change and employee shareholding, these are all company secrets, now only the two major shareholders of the company have such a preliminary idea, whether it is good or bad is not clear, Qi Jingtao and Shi Lei will not stupidly let the company's employees participate in the discussion.
At present, the core management of the Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company is limited, Qi Jingtao, Shi Lei, Zhang Jinglei, Su Min are only four people, plus Qi Jingtao's personal assistant Xu Manli, the five of them can decide the major matters of the Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company. A private enterprise, not a listed company, has the final say in the boss of an employee stock ownership plan within the company, where is there so much democratic decision-making?
The three company executives were invited to Shi Lei's office, and after listening to Qi Jingtao's explanation, Su Min said with a smile: "I heard the two of you arguing next door just now, and I thought that you two old watches were fighting for the company's equity. It is the kind of person who can only share weal and woe, not wealth and nobility, and we worry about it for a long time in vain. Unexpectedly, our Boss Qi is magnificent, Boss Shi is also so gentlemanly, the two big bosses are so benevolent, and we small employees are blessed. ”
Zhang Jinglei also said with a smile: "Since ancient times, it has been easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and wealth. The two bosses Gao Yi, our little employees also have a fortune one day. Hehe, appropriate employee equity incentives are conducive to the long-term development of the company, enhance the cohesion and work enthusiasm of the company's employees, and retain useful talents. However, I don't need shares in the company, I didn't come to the company for money, I was bored to help you. ”
"Aunt Zhang, you follow us to start a business together, and you can be regarded as sharing the hardships with us. Now that the company has grown and grown, our two bosses have made a fortune and are worth tens of millions, and you company entrepreneurs and business backbones are still dry and unable to get a salary. Qi Jingtao said sincerely.
Zhang Jinglei waved her hand, stared at Qi Jingtao with a blank face, and said solemnly: "I have a retirement salary, and now I have an extra executive salary, which is enough." Employee stock ownership is a good thing, but it's a big deal, so you just need to think about other employees who have contributed. However, you two bosses need to master the degree. As a native of central Yunnan, you won't have heard of the legend of Wujing Bridge in Spring City, right? Even the gods are lamenting the insatiable greed of the world, saying, 'The sky is not high, but the human heart is higher than the sky.' Please sell water as wine, and I don't think the pig is bad. This exclamation. People's desires cannot be satisfied, and wages and bonuses are also more and more hopeful. Even if you want to engage in employee stock ownership, you must take it step by step, and don't distribute the 29% of the shares all at once. ”
"The sky is not high, but the human heart is higher than the sky. Please sell water as wine, and I don't think the pig is bad. What is the legend of Wujing in Chuncheng?" Xu Manli asked ignorantly, she knew the Wujing Bridge in Chuncheng, but she had never heard of the legend of the fairy, and there was such an interesting limerick poem.
Zhang Jinglei looked at the ignorant Xu Manli and the thoughtful Su Min with a smile and said: "The meeting is now, not the time to tell stories, and we will talk about it later." ”
Qi Jingtao knew this story, and he didn't have time to tell the story to the curious Xu Manli, his brows froze, and he heard Zhang Jinglei's kind suggestion: "Aunt Zhang, do you mean not to engage in full shareholding?"
