Chapter 185: Immature Thoughts
"How could it not? This is the same as stock trading. Let's take an example, if you give up 29% of the shares this time, if it is worth 1 million now, and distribute it to the employees of the company according to the size of their contribution to the company, they will contribute a total of 1 million to buy it into their own hands. 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, do you think anyone will be moved?" Qi Jingtao explained to Shi Lei with a simple example.
"Hehe, it's hard to say. Shi Lei replied with a wry smile. He is more aware of the situation of most of the company's employees, and it is better to have a bird in the forest.
"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 a right of first refusal, we won't be able to reclaim the shares held by those employees in the event of 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 share be operated?" Shi Lei considered more practically, not as whimsical as Qi Jingtao, and his retreat was 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 there is just this 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, five people 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, and Boss Shi is also such a gentleman, and we little 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, if you two bosses want to master the degree, people's desires cannot be satisfied, and there are more and more hopes for salary and bonuses. 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. ”
Qi Jingtao frowned, and he heard Zhang Jinglei's kind suggestion: "Aunt Zhang, do you mean not to engage in full shareholding?"
A smile appeared on Zhang Jinglei's face, she was teachable. She weighed the pros and cons of employee stock ownership in her heart, and said unhurriedly: "Our company is different from other agricultural trading companies that have followed the trend, and our dividends are not small. At present, our company has only been established for a short time and the number of employees is not large. The vast majority of people are just engaged in ordinary work, and there is no standard of 'contribution' to the company. Their current salary and benefits are already higher than those of other similar companies, and if you continue to give them additional share dividends, have you thought about what the result would be?"
Qi Jingtao and Shi Lei didn't think about this question, they knew that the experienced Zhang Jinglei had their own considerations. looked at each other, and couldn't help but wait for the following.
Seeing that Qi Jingtao and Shi Lei didn't speak, Su Min couldn't help asking: "Aunt Cousin, isn't it to enhance the enthusiasm of the company's employees and attract more elite soldiers to join our company's collective?"
