Chapter 551: High-level infighting
Since its establishment, relying on the strong strength of the group company and the influence of Wang Ye in the commercial real estate industry, the development has been very rapid.
The first batch of stores opened was 100 stores, and now a year later, the number of stores has expanded to more than 300.
Because all of them are self-operated stores, Liu Wenjuan has truly become a "trapeze" in the past year, flying to a city every two days on average to inspect the situation of the new store.
It stands to reason that she is the CEO of the company and does not need to do everything herself, but Liu Wenjuan doesn't think so.
Her goal is not to be the vice president of the company, but to become the president of the brand company and remove the word "vice".
Even, to go further, she has to lay a good foundation first, so that she can take over the position of chairman of Wang Ye's Huayou Group in the future!
Liu Wenjuan knows that she is within the group, and at present, the only competitor is the newcomer Ye Caini.
For Ye Caini, Liu Wenjuan is also jealous, and she has touched the bottom of this person in private.
Ye Caini's past experience is not confidential information, and it is easy to inquire about it.
Like herself, she graduated from an Ivy League school, and she had to call her senior sister after meeting, and Ye Caini's advantage is that she has managed a super-large team and has been an executive of a multinational company.
This is an experience that I don't have.
Don't underestimate this, it will go a long way when it comes to really competing for executive positions.
And his advantage is that he entered the work of Huayou Group earlier than Ye Caini and occupied the first-mover advantage.
The two offset each other, and the result is that the two are now standing on the same starting line, and who can really win, it is estimated that to a large extent, it depends on which of the two performs better.
Therefore, Liu Wenjuan has been working really hard this year, and under her care, although the store is opening quickly, the company is still in good order, and the personnel of various departments are also in place.
At the beginning, only a few floors were staffed, and the whole building seemed empty, but now it is different, more than 30 floors, basically have their own uses.
Several office buildings in the central area of Mingguang District were bought by Wang Ye's company, and now this area is quite lively.
……
Liu Wenjuan parked the car in the parking lot in front of the office building, carried a crocodile platinum bag, and walked to the lobby.
Her car is a Porsche 911, and the executives of various companies under Wang Ye don't know if the aesthetic vision is just the same as Wang Ye, or because of the influence of Wang Ye, especially those female executives, who buy cars are Porsche, Bentley, Rolls-Royce and the like, and no one buys those cooler supercars.
The parking lot in front of the office building, the executive parking area, are all Porsche 911, Porsche 718, Bentley Continental, Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom is Xu Jing's new car, among the company's executives, Xu Jing is the biggest "rich woman", not to mention anything else, just when she sold the company to Meigou.com, she cashed out hundreds of millions of cash, and her income is also the highest among the current CEOs of various companies.
There's no way, who let her take charge of the Meigou network, which has a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the CEO of such a super large company, of course, has to match the size of the company.
Li Qinghuan's wealth potential is actually greater than Xu Jing's, because Li Qinghuan holds shares in several companies, but none of these shares have been cashed out.
In the future, if Li Qinghuan cashes out all the shares in his hand, he will definitely become a "rich woman" with a net worth of billions, but now she is not as rich as Xu Jing, so the car Li Qinghuan drives is still her Porsche 718 that she bought for two years.
It can be seen that Wang Ye buys cars from Britain and Germany, and he has never been interested in cars from Italy, Japan, the United States and France.
"Mr. Liu is good!"
"Good morning, Mr. Liu!"
Along the way, the employees I met greeted Liu Wenjuan one after another.
Liu Wenjuan also smiled and nodded in response, although she has a strong personality, she is still very kind to employees in normal times.
Liu Wenjuan believes in using the system to manage people, rather than relying on people to manage people, so in the system, she is very strict, and she also attaches great importance to performance appraisal.
Before the system, everyone is equal.
When she came to her office, Liu Wenjuan put down her handbag, sat down behind her desk, and made a phone call to her assistant.
"Has the plan been approved?"
The plan she said was about the plan to select the best company, go out of the mainland market, and expand outward.
Now, in the mainland market, Liu Wenjuan feels that the potential has been almost tapped, and in the future, it is impossible to open stores in large quantities.
Because, although the price of a big store like Youxuan is very cheap, it is still important for the location selection.
In general, small cities cannot support a 3,000-square-meter super store, so the least number of preferable products should be opened to the core business district of prefecture-level cities, and further down, it will be difficult to expand.
In the country, there are less than 300 prefecture-level cities, most of which have already opened stores, or have already chosen addresses and are ready to open stores.
According to the assessment of Liu Wenjuan and the company's executives, a total of 600 stores have been opened in China, which is basically saturated.
And now, there are more than 300 stores that have been opened, and there are more than 100 stores, which are doing shop decoration.
Don't feel that this number is small, these are all super stores, which are different from those small stores of the Huashang brand.
When all these stores are opened, Liu Wenjuan is confident that the annual revenue will reach more than 50 billion!
This is still a conservative estimate, if you are bold, even if it is 70 billion, it is possible.
This is only the mainland market, and it can be so high, so Liu Wenjuan can't hold back anymore and wants to expand outward.
A few days ago, she drafted a plan for expanding abroad, and after discussing it with her executives, she felt that there was no problem, so she submitted the plan to the chairman's office, that is, Wang Ye.
Although Liu Wenjuan could directly take the plan to Wang Ye to discuss, she didn't do it, because now there is Ye Caini, the special assistant to the chairman, if you go past Ye Caini and go directly to Wang Ye, it will inevitably fall into your mouth, and it is easy for people to say that they have overstepped their level to report work.
According to the formal process, the plan must be submitted to the chairman's office first, and then submitted to Wang Ye after being reviewed by Ye Caini and Wang Ye's secretariat.
If Wang Ye feels that there is no problem after reading it, he will directly sign and approve it, and they will implement it according to the plan.
If Wang Ye feels that there is a problem and wants to know about it, then he will ask the secretariat to notify Liu Wenjuan and the company's executives to hold a symposium.
In the past few days, Liu Wenjuan has not received a phone call from Liu Ruomei, so she thinks that there is no problem with the plan, and directly approves it.
She had just flown back from out of town, and as soon as she arrived at the office today, she asked about the plan.
Who knows, the assistant's answer surprised her.
"It was approved, but it was directly approved by Assistant Ye, saying that the plan was unqualified and asked us to do it again. ”
Liu Wenjuan was stunned for a moment, and then she was a little angry, this Ye Caini really took herself seriously, she didn't even let Wang Ye take a look at the plan she had worked so, so she called back directly!
"Did you say why?"
Liu Wenjuan stabilized her emotions and asked quietly.
"Yes, they said that there was a problem with the first batch of expansion areas we chose, and suggested that we choose a better area. ”
The assistant replied.
In this first batch of expansion areas, Liu Wenjuan chose Xiangjiang, Baodao, Lion City, and Macao.
Among them, three areas belong to the Chinese country, and the other is also a place where the Chinese are predominant.
The reason why she chose this way, Liu Wenjuan also has her considerations.
Although the best products are in China, they are now considered well-known brands, but in foreign countries, who knows you, so when she chose the first batch of markets to expand, she deliberately chose a place dominated by Chinese.
In this way, whether it is word-of-mouth communication or brand promotion in the future, it is a little easier.
They are all Chinese, and in terms of preferences and traditions, they are naturally similar, and it is easier to adapt to the store by selecting the best products.
If it is suddenly thrown to Europe and the United States, it is estimated that it will take a long time just to adapt to local habits, and it is easy to fail.
Chinese enterprises go to sea, I don't know how many precedents of failure, precisely because they want to go to the sky in one step and go directly to the most core countries and cities in Europe and the United States to make a lot of money, and as a result, when they get there, it is like falling into a quagmire.
Different cultural traditions, different aesthetics, and even different work systems and habits, if you take the domestic set of management methods, the employees over there really don't dump you, and the trade union over there is not just talking, but really letting you be your boss's home.
To be honest, Liu Wenjuan is not ready to go to Europe and the United States, whether it is talent reserve or brand building, it has not yet been reached.
Therefore, she chose to expand first in the Asian region, and in the place with the largest concentration of Chinese.
In this way, the step-by-step development is relatively stable, and even if the investment fails, the loss will not be much.
Who knew that such a well-prepared plan was directly called back by Ye Caini.
……
Hung up the assistant's phone, Liu Wenjuan's face sank, she turned on the computer, read the plan again, and felt that there was still no problem, it was indeed reasonable, and it was the best choice for the best products.
She thought about it, picked up the phone, and dialed Ye Caini's landline directly.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hello, this is Ye Caini. ”
A pleasant female voice came from the phone.
"Hello Assistant Ye, I'm Liu Wenjuan, I want to ask you about something. Liu Wenjuan asked with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, what is the matter, please tell me. Ye Caini replied dryly.
"About the plan for the outward expansion of the best products. ”
"I knew that Mr. Liu definitely wanted to ask about this plan. I really didn't show Wang Dong that plan, because I really felt that there was no need to show him. Well, at ten o'clock, you come to the small conference room No. 2 on the top floor, and let's discuss it together. ”
……
At ten o'clock, Liu Wenjuan came to the small conference room on the top floor, and there was only Ye Caini in it.
"Assistant Ye, what is wrong with this plan, this is a plan that our management has collectively discussed. ”
Liu Wenjuan asked calmly, she had something to say, and she did not say that this plan was made by her, but that it was discussed collectively by the company's management.
In this way, what Ye Caini rejected was not her Liu Wenjuan's plan, but the collective opinion of the management of the company.
Ye Caini didn't know if she heard the meaning of her words, but said to Liu Wenjuan with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, listen to my opinion first." ”
Liu Wenjuan nodded and motioned for her to continue.
Ye Caini turned on the projector and showed the page in the plan about the selection area.
"In the plan, nothing else is a problem, that's it, the choice of region! I think it's a bit inappropriate. ”
Ye Caini pointed to the four regional cities and said.
"What's wrong, these four places are all places where Chinese people gather, and they are the best and easiest markets for our Chinese brands to promote. Moreover, these places are all economically developed regions, and it will be easier to gain a foothold in these four markets and then expand to the rest of Asia. ”
Liu Wenjuan argued on the basis of reason.
Ye Caini was not in a hurry, she just smiled and listened to Liu Wenjuan before she spoke: "What Mr. Liu said makes sense, but there is a question that you may ignore. ”
Liu Wenjuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the problem?"
"Population!" Ye Caini said in an accentuated tone.
Liu Wenjuan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
Her brain is spinning fast, population?!
How many people are there in these places?
Don't say it, Liu Wenjuan really hasn't seriously considered this issue, this plan is said to have been discussed collectively by the company's executives, but in fact, she just made a draft and gave everyone a meeting to talk about it.
At that time, no one seemed to raise any demographic issues at the meeting......
"According to last year's statistics, there are 5.6 million people in Hong Kong, only 630,000 in Macao, and 20 million people in Baodao. There are more than 5.3 million people in the Lion City. Combined, these four regions have 30 million people. It is equivalent to a city in the magic capital......"
Ye Caini had these data at her fingertips, and reported the population data of several places one by one.
When Liu Wenjuan heard this, she was dumbfounded, this amount is much less than she imagined!
I immediately regretted that I had made a big mistake this time!
That's the consequence of inexperience......
In fact, from this point of view, this time, Ye Caini not only did not harm herself, but saved herself once.
It is conceivable that if such a non-rigorous plan is sent to Wang Ye, then how Wang Ye will view himself.
I'm afraid I won't be able to do important work by myself in the future.
Thinking of this, Liu Wenjuan looked at Ye Caini gratefully, and for a long time, she asked in a complicated tone, "Why?"
Although there was no beginning or end to this, Ye Caini immediately understood.
She replied with a smile: "I like fair competition, and this is also my job responsibility, if this plan is sent directly to Wang Dong, it will not only be your loss of points, but also my failure to be responsible." ”
