Chapter 629: The Talent of the General

……

Originally, Guo Shouyun thought that Bo Ruituo's arrival would be delayed for a while. But he never thought that in less than a week, the 44-year-old middle-aged bald Brazilian stood in front of him.

It seems that Lehman, Beto and Marcel, in order to gain his support for the merger of Interblue and American Beverages, did not slack off in asking for him!

"Hello, Mr. Guo!"

"Haha, hello! Welcome to Huaxia!"

After holding the other party's right hand, Guo Shouyun looked at the man in front of him who was thin, with long narrow eyes and a hooked nose, and looked more serious.

In later generations, this person promoted the InBev Group after the merger of Interblue and American Beverages, and at an astonishing price of 23.5 billion US dollars, the largest beer merchant in the United States, Anheuser, that is, the head office of Budweiser, and created AB InBev, the world's largest beer empire with a market value of 160 billion US dollars and a turnover of more than 40 billion US dollars!

If Lehman, Beto and Marcel's talents are mainly reflected in finance, then the man in front of him is the world's top business management talent!

In the future, half of the assets of 3G Capital are under its jurisdiction. Moreover, his excellent leadership skills have been praised by the media many times, and he has always been a frequent visitor to the top few professional managers in the rankings, known as the 'dream team'.

Of course, in addition to these, the reason why Guo Shouyun asked him to come over from Lehman was that in addition to his outstanding business management talent, what he valued most was his ability to bring loss-making enterprises back to life!

Nowhere is this ability clearer than in Interble. In just six months, his operating profit increased by 11% year-on-year, and sales increased by 5.4% year-on-year! After he mastered AB InBev, his sales increased by 12.7%, net profit increased by 4.27%, and the market value of the group's stock increased by 227% in one year.

Guo Shouyun needs this ability to straighten out Delong for him!

When Guo Shouyun was looking at Bo Ruituo, the other party was also looking at him. Bruce Guo's fame, along with his ups and downs in the financial market, as well as the development of many companies such as Guo's, Matrix, Apple, Pacific Energy, etc., has already spread all over the world. As the CEO of American Beverages, he is no stranger to Guo Shouyun. Even when I came, I deliberately looked for a lot of information about the other party.

But what surprised him the most was why the other party would bring him in? If it was just Lehman's mouth, let him be the adviser of the bankruptcy and restructuring of the enterprise, wouldn't it be more suitable for professional companies such as Roland Berger, A.T. Kearney and Accenture?

After shaking hands, after the two sides briefly looked at each other, Guo Shouyun stretched out his hand and pointed to his side, "This is Zhang Lei, CEO of Hanhua Holdings!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

"Hello!"

"Please be seated!"

After the three of them sat down, Guo Shouyun continued: "Mr. Bo Ruituo has been tired all the way, if necessary, I have already arranged a hotel here!"

It took more than seven hours to fly from Rio de Janeiro to Frankfurt, and from there to the magic capital, a circle of more than 20,000 kilometers and nearly 24 hours. Coupled with jet lag, no one can stand it.

"Thank you Mr. Guo for your kindness, I have slept for a long time when I was on the plane before, and I don't feel tired now! And I am more curious about why Mr. Guo asked me to come to China than to rest?"

"Why, didn't Mr. Lehman tell you why?"

"That's it. But Mr. Guo has a lot of talent, and I don't think I can do it better than Roland Berger and A.T. Kearney!" said Bo calmly.

"Roland Berger and A.T. Kearney can make small businesses successful, but they can't make successful small businesses become industry elites!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun looked at the calm middle-aged man opposite, and did not hesitate to admire his tone, "But you can!"

Although he is the CEO of American Beverages, sitting opposite is indeed one of the six Hollywood giants, the Wall Street giant Phoenix Bank, the well-known Internet companies Ruby and Google, one of the five major oil companies in the United States, Unocal, the world's largest electricity and gas company, and the helmsman behind a series of giant enterprises such as Pacific Group, the world's largest electricity and gas company!

With the blessing of so many large, even giant companies, Guo Shouyun's identity is far beyond his age. Being recognized by the other party, Bo Ruituo also felt happy in his heart.

Of course, nearly 20 years of experience in the business world have honed his mind. Even if he was recognized by his identity far beyond himself, there was not much change in his face.

This self-cultivation and steadiness made Guo Shouyun and Zhang Lei, who was sitting on the side, look in their eyes and nod secretly.

"Mr. Guo has won the prize!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand and continued: "I appreciate the management model of Brecco Investment Company and PDCA. ”

In the management model of PDCA, P means plan, D means do, C means check, and A means act.

This standard quantifies the management standards of the enterprise and replaces the standards that could only be determined by experience and the technical ability of the workers with accurate figures and procedures. The Brecco investment company, which founded this model, successfully used it to unify the production standards of Bolang beer, and increased the product qualification rate from less than 50% at the beginning to more than 95% a year later, and the company's profit increased by 11.4%, laying the foundation for the future acquisition of the old rival Antarctic beer.

"That's thanks to Falconi and Lehman!" said Bo Ruituo.

"Still, you have grasped the essence of it and created an efficient sales system for Bolang Beer!"

At the beginning, the sales system of Bolang Beer, like many FMCG companies, was based on provinces, states, cities and counties. But Bo Ruituo went against the norm and went over the intermediate links and directly put the statistical points to specific bars and supermarkets. Know exactly how much they're selling, what is the profit, and what is the customer feedback?

There is no doubt that this will increase the cost of the enterprise, especially the cost of sales, but it allows the company to accurately grasp the company's sales situation, arrange production according to sales, greatly reduce the inventory cycle, and improve the profit margin.

“… Mr. Bo Ruituo, from Bolang Beer to American Beverages, and now to Interblue, your contribution is indispensable! It just so happens that I have also acquired a promising company in Huaxia that is losing money due to poor management, and I hope you can use your ability to help it get out of the predicament!"

After being praised, some of the resentment accumulated from afar in Bo Ruituo's heart also disappeared!

"Thank you very much Mr. Guo for your attention, but can I read the information of that company?"

"Of course, but the situation is a little complicated! Let's wait until Mr. Bo Ruituo is well rested and recuperates!"

Bo Ruituo nodded. Although he did sleep on the plane for a while before, he was 44 years old and his energy was not as good as that of a young man. After understanding Guo Shouyun's attitude towards himself, he no longer insisted.

Looking at the back of the distant figure under the leadership of Wang Jue, Guo Shouyun turned his head and said, "What do you think?"

"Judging from the data alone, he is undoubtedly a top elite of management. Judging from the previous meeting, it can also be called calm and calm! More specifically, we need to observe and observe... But I'm curious, why did the boss ask him to come over from Brecco? If only because of his management talent, there is no shortage of such people in the world, and with the cooperation between LinkedIn and the five major headhunters, it is not difficult to get a management elite from China!"

Guo Shouyun nodded. There is indeed no shortage of managerial talents in the world, but there are not many 'master' management elites who can manage a $160 billion market value and keep it moving forward.

The most important thing is that he is a winning general, Bolang Beer, American Beverages, InBev Group, and finally AB InBev, some of these companies are losing money, some are sunset, and some are trapped in reality, law and other factors are hesitating, but they are all out of the predicament under the leadership of Bo Ruituo. There aren't many people who have that ability.

Of course, most of these have not happened now, and Guo Shouyun certainly can't tell Zhang Lei.

"I spent some time in Brazil in the second half of last year and found that her business environment was somewhat similar to that of China. The law is not perfect, there are many family businesses, the enterprise management system is superficial, the quality supervision system is weak, and so on. In such an environment, Lehman and others were able to achieve a series of successes in many companies such as Gallantia Investment Bank, Americas Store, Americas Drink, and Submarine Website. Their wisdom, especially the way they manage their business, is unique. I also agree with the elite system, the performance-based reward and punishment system, the concise and efficient office style, and the emphasis on and cultivation of talents. So, I want Bo Ruituo to try it in Delong, and if we can, we will get a good company and a general!"

Facing one of his most trusted 'ministers of humerus', Guo Shouyun confided in Zhang Lei his plans!

"The boss plans to make him the CEO of Delong?"

"No! Delong's business is too miscellaneous. Finance, mechanical and electrical products, agriculture, cement, automobiles, entertainment and culture, tourism, across dozens of industries, without their own focus and characteristics, is destined to not last long, it needs to be re-separated, and create a different industrial system. ”

"Do you already have a plan in mind?"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "In addition to Delong's assets in finance, there are eight main companies that are still under its control in the industrial sector, Xiyu Tunhe, Alloy Co., Ltd., Hunan Torch, Shancheng Industry, Tianshan Co., Ltd., Delong Agriculture, Delong Animal Husbandry Investment Company, and Delong Tourism. In the past few days, you have led the people of Hanhua to focus on these eight companies and sort out a rough enterprise development plan, including the main and secondary businesses, and the funds needed. When we're done, we'll talk about it together. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Lei nodded.

"In addition, let Bo Ruituo also add it!"

"Understood!"

"How is Wu Feng's condition?" Guo Shouyun changed the subject.

"The ability is good, but it lacks experience!"

"What position do you think he's suitable for?"

"It depends on what you do, boss. If it's an industry, let him go to medium-sized companies that are in trouble, such as Delong Agriculture. With his ambition, ability and courage, coupled with his connections, there is a high probability that the company will develop. If it is finance, the boss can let him be in charge of a public fund, with a scale of 1~200 million Huaxia coins is the best. ”

Guo Shouyun pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Then transfer some people from Hanhua to Delong's enterprises for on-the-spot inspection!"

"I'm already doing this. However, there are many companies under Delong, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find out for a while!"

"It's okay, we still have time!"

"Understood!"

"Boss, do you know about Tang Wanxin's trip to Myanmar?"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "This guy is smart!"

"He just made things more complicated. I'm afraid that the asset custody agreement you signed with him will be complicated!"

"Do you think that Idelon's current mess, who else but us can eat it all?" Guo Shouyun said.

"Having said that, I heard that the Sanlin Group of the Lim Zhaoliang family, the richest man in Indonesia, is also interested in taking over Delong in its entirety!"

"Not only Sanlin Group, it's not one or two that call me these days. JPMorgan Huaxia Fund, Japan's Ruihui, HSBC Hong Kong, FAW Group, Weichai, Wanxiang and other hundreds of companies all plan to get a piece of the pie from Delong, a fallen giant!"

"So we have a lot of opponents!" Zhang Lei said.

"Hmph, they're just going to make some money, and there's no second one to eat all of Delong except us!"

At this moment, Wu Xiaojing hurriedly walked over.

"Boss, Xie Pengcheng, president of China Construction Bank, is here, in the front living room. ”

After the two glanced at each other, Guo Shouyun smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's here!"

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Zhang Lei also nodded with a smile.

"No need! The most important thing for you now is to do a good job of Delong's investigation, and then sort out a plan for Delong's integration! As for the rest, I'll deal with it!"

"Then I'll get busy first!"

"Hmm!"
