Chapter 54: Infighting
After the two of them sat down, Qin Pei said, "Jinfei, let you come today, first of all, it's because of work, I can keep the position of the manager of the cosmetics area of the super store for you, you don't have to have too much burden, even if the previous agreement is not up to standard, it is nothing, after all, you have an accident"
"How can this work? I will do what I say, a net profit of 20 million in three months!"
Many times as an employee, I want to show myself in front of my boss, otherwise I will feel that I am incompetent.
"I know, you just work hard, what I want to tell you today is that in addition to handing over your work tasks, there is one more thing I want to tell you"
"President, please speak!"
"Have you ever heard of the Defenders and the Reformers?"
"The Defenders, the Reformists, is it a gang, or is it an organization? I haven't heard of it."
After getting Xie Jinfei's answer, Qin Pei lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he was organizing language, and only after a while did Qin Pei speak: "You have been here for three years, and you performed well when you were the acting store manager before, I like a young man like you very much, so I want to invite you to join our team."
"President, I don't know what you're talking about, can you make it clear?"
What Qin Pei said Xie Jinfei didn't understand at all, what the city defenders, what reformers, what joined the team, wasn't I in the team now? Could it be that the family is going to be separated?
Qin Pei continued: "Zongheng International has been established for more than ten years, and it is a long-established retailer in China, but with the development of the times and the rise of online stores, the traditional retail industry is becoming more and more difficult, so we have to reform and transform!"
"Of course, of course, enterprises must change with the development of the times, after all, no enterprise has the ability to change the times, only the ability of the times to change the enterprise!"
"That's right, but not everyone thinks so, the international shop is too big, and the power of the leadership is also seriously separated, and the separation of rights naturally brings ideological differences.
The whole Zongheng looks glamorous, but the internal struggle is already very serious, and now Zongheng International is divided into two factions."
"Is that what you just said about the defenders and reformers?"
"Yes, the city defenders advocate the traditional retail method, advocate winning by quantity, and build more international physical retail stores in as many cities as possible, while the reformists take the boutique route."
"Boutique routes?"
"Yes, have you heard of the rule of twenty-eight?"
Xie Jinfei nodded and said: "I have heard that the rule of twenty-eight, also known as the law of twenty-eight, was discovered by the Italian economist Pareto at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, and he believes that in any set of data, the most important thing only accounts for a small part of it, about 20%, and the remaining 80% is the majority, but it is secondary."
"That's right, in fact, a lot of things are following this law, many video sites, in fact, 80% of the traffic is only provided by 20% of the content, many network companies have also found that as long as 20% of the system vulnerabilities are solved, 80% of the bugs can be solved, and for our retail industry, in fact, 80% of the profits come from 20% of the goods, these are from real data"
Hearing Qin Pei's explanation, Xie Jinfei was not stupid, and immediately exclaimed: "Could it be that the reformists want to throw away 80% of the secondary commodities?"
Seeing Xie Jinfei's reflection so quickly, Qin Pei expressed his satisfaction and replied: "That's right, you have to know that no matter whether this product provides us with a profit or not, no matter how much profit is provided, we have to make a certain amount of investment in it, rather than this, it is better to throw it away, and then gather all the resources and only make those 20% of the product."
"So there's a super store?"
"Yes, in fact, for retail stores, of course, it is impossible to really throw away 80% of the product, but at least 40% of the product, and at the same time we have to absorb new products, such as cars"
Looking at Qin Pei's eyes full of longing and drive, Xie Jinfei knew that this product must be an innovative person, but for Xie Jinfei, whether you are an innovative person or a city defender, in fact, it has nothing to do with yourself, all I care about is selling goods.
Whoever gives me better resources and platforms is my father and my food and clothing parents!
"And who is the leader of the city defenders and reformists?"
"The city defense faction is led by Ling Zhiqiu and Yang Yue, and the reform faction is led by the mentor, Jin Fei, you are also the disciple of the mentor, you should know the strength of the mentor, in terms of market analysis ability, no one is the opponent of the mentor!"
Speaking of this, Xie Jinfei could see the undisguised fanatical belief in Qin Pei's eyes, this kind of expression had also appeared in his previous self, but since he had the system, this emotion has slowly disappeared.
However, although there is no sense of faith, it does not mean that Li Chun is despised.
"Mentor, if it's him...... What will be the outcome of the victory and the defeat? I don't believe this will continue forever."
"Whether it is victory or defeat, there is only one result, and that is to break up"
"Separation?"
Xie Jinfei thought that there would be such a result, but when Qin Pei said these two words, Xie Jinfei still couldn't help but shudder, after all, he would still be like other big groups, and would he finally part ways after glory?
Qin Pei also sighed and said: "The ancients said that when we start a business, we can share hardships, because everyone knows that their own abilities are limited, and only by cooperating with each other can we create a foundation.
But when one day, we have everything, the first thing we think of is to kill those who can be equal to us.
The prestige of the mentor in our vertical and horizontal is too high, in the past, Ling Zhiqiu and Yang Yue would not hesitate to choose to believe in the mentor and follow his method.
But after the establishment of the group, Yang Yue was the CEO, and no matter how much the mentor did right and how much credit he made for Zongheng, the high merit was enough to erase all the merits of the mentor
In the past, it was good to say that since the group went public, the voice of the mentor in the board of directors has become higher and higher, and the prestige in the hearts of employees has also become higher and higher, which is not the result that Yang Yue and Ling Zhiqiu want to see, so ......"
"So even if they know that the guru is doing the right thing, they will still oppose it!"
Qin Pei didn't speak again, just nodded heavily.
Xie Jinfei also leaned on the back of the sofa helplessly, with a headache, too much of a headache, it turned out that there had been legendary infighting in the board of directors of Zongheng International.
Xie Jinfei could imagine that Li Chun alone would not be able to fight Ling Zhiqiu and Yang Yue, and Li Chun would naturally be eliminated by the board of directors, which was only a matter of time.
But Xie Jinfei still doesn't understand, since Li Chun knows that he will inevitably be out, but why do Qin Pei and these reformists still support Li Chun, are they stupid?
Thinking of this, Xie Jinfei was about to say something when the door of the office was opened, it was Lin Zi, and I saw Lin Zi walking in with a white plastic bag.
The plastic bag has the words Qing Shengzhai written on it, which is a well-known Chinese chain restaurant in the magic city.
Lin Zi didn't speak, just glanced at Xie Jinfei, and then took out the food in the plastic bag, just two simple Yangzhou fried rice and two bottles of orange juice, Qing Shengzhai's juice is freshly squeezed very good, Xie Jinfei has a soft spot for Qing Shengzhai's juice.
After putting the food away, Lin Zi went out, and the whole person perfectly played the role of a restaurant waiter.
Xie Jinfei didn't politely open the fast food box and ate it first, Qin Pei didn't seem to have an appetite, just drank a few sips of juice.
Xie Jinfei asked without raising his head while holding the rice into his mouth: "Since you know the result, why do you still follow the mentor? And isn't this super store also built? The development of this matter is not reasonable with what you said?"
Hearing Xie Jinfei's words, Qin Pei seemed to lose her strength in an instant, leaned on the sofa weakly and looked at the ceiling of the office and said, "If I tell you that the super store is the personal asset of the mentor, what will you choose?"
Although Qin Pei's words were light, they stirred up a thousand waves in Xie Jinfei's heart, and the amount of information in this paragraph was comparable to a kilogram of People's Daily for Xie Jinfei.
Xie Jinfei seemed to have forgotten to chew the food in his mouth, and raised his head blankly to Qin Pei and asked, "What...... What do you mean?"
"That means that in fact, the mentor has been cleared by the board of directors and the shares have been acquired, in fact, this super store is the personal asset of the mentor, and we are no longer the people of Zongheng International."
Hearing Qin Pei's words, Xie Jinfei was stunned for a second, then stood up and shouted at Qin Pei: "What!? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Xie Jinfei was very angry, very angry, obviously he was tricked by the woman in front of him, he used to think that the super store was awesome because the super store was behind the Zongheng International Group, but now that this backer is gone, then the super store is a joke, and if he continues to be in Zongheng International, he can at least be a floor manager in a second- or third-tier city.
Now is the time when Zongheng International lacks management, and he has enough years of service and a period of management experience, but now he has changed companies inexplicably.
Qin Pei was not surprised by Xie Jinfei's anger, but said calmly: "Actually, it's not a deception, before you were classified as a super store, the mentor was still a member of the board of directors, but it was not on the 1st of this month, coincidentally, on the last day of last month, you were hospitalized, so this matter has been delayed until now.
Now you can choose to resign and return to Zongheng International, of course, you can also choose to stay, and after you stay, you will still be the manager of the cosmetics section of the super store."
Xie Jinfei gasped and stared at Qin Pei for a long time, for as many as 2 minutes, in these 2 minutes, although Xie Jinfei was looking at Qin Pei, but his mind kept recalling everything in the past and the ins and outs of this matter, Xie Jinfei suddenly said: "I was actually used by you? No wonder you let me be such a nobody as the manager of the cosmetics area of the super store,
I was still very strange before, why did I get a fancy to you, I thought you really knew my horse, it seems that I was wrong, you must have wanted to get rid of the previous manager in the cosmetics area, so I was asked to be this manager!"
"Oh, how so?"
"The super store can enter the reconstruction plan of Area A, it is obvious that this is the result of your efforts, I think the geographical location of the super store in the capital Yanjing will not be too bad, if I am a mentor, in this desperate situation, I will definitely fight against the water and block all my belongings, and we all know the ability of the mentor, Ling Zhiqiu and Yang Yue know better, they can't just watch the mentor resurrect, they will definitely do everything possible to strangle the super store in the cradle,
Then the best and most direct way is not to fight on the frontal battlefield, but to send people to break into the interior of the super store, commonly known as commercial espionage, after you break away from the vertical and horizontal, it is natural to take away the so-called innovative elites, some of these elites may be worthy of your trust, but most of you can't confirm their position,
So, you must find some people who are capable and clean at the same time, and at that time, I appeared, so I was inexplicably pulled in by you!
Bang Bang Bang!
Qin Pei slapped his palms three times in admiration, and praised: "Well, it is worthy of the person I fancie, you are indeed smart enough, you are very smart!"
"If I had a brain, I wouldn't have been dragged in by you in a daze! You are a commercial fraud! You are breaking the law!"
"Breaking the law? No, no, no, I said, when you came over, we still belonged to Zongheng International in law, and we started to separate on the 1st of this month, and at that time, it happened that you were hospitalized, so this is not a fraud, understand? Okay, now you can make a choice, whether to stay here and be my manager, or go back to your Zongheng International?"
Xie Jinfei sat on the sofa with a butt, and the good quality sofa bounced Xie Jinfei's body back a few times, now it's mid-February, can you have a fart when you go back?
Xie Jinfei shook his head weakly while pinching the bridge of his nose and said: "There are only two stores, how can you fight with Zongheng?" Even if you eliminate all the commercial spies, everything in terms of market share and customer base is not Zongheng's opponent."
Xie Jinfei's words also seemed to talk about Qin Pei's biggest headache, but Qin Pei still said: "You should also know how much of the master's credit can be developed to the current level, and you should also know how much the vertical and horizontal of the magic city can develop, and you should also know my strength, and you may not know much about the master's energy.
You must know that the market has always been done by the mentor, although the mentor's support rate in the board of directors is average, but he has a good relationship with many brands, not only that, the mentor has been doing investment industry over the years, he has invested in many industries, although these industries are not all he has the final say, but he is at least one of the investors, and the connections are there.
Although there are only two stores, these two stores are real tigers and lions, not cats and dogs, and the mentor will launch a full-scale counteroffensive from next month!
And the rest is up to us, after all, leaders can only make decisions in the general direction, and the details need us to do."
"This is big news, and it can make headlines across the country, but why is it that it's been almost half a month and there is no news?"
"It's very simple, both sides can't spread the current news because of their own interests, Zongheng International is for the stock price, if the news of the mentor's withdrawal from Zongheng is spread now, then the stock price of Zongheng International will definitely fall, and the mentor has mastered the market for many years.
This market is not just a one-sided market, in addition to the brands of various products and the following distributors, there are many, many more, such as the media, sports, film and television, etc., where do you think there are so many business tycoons and popular stars for the annual anniversary?
Not only because of Zongheng's big face, but more importantly, the mentor's reputation and connections in various circles, the mentor has been operating these connections for so many years, because he has long known that Zongheng will have such a day.
And the reason why the mentor did not announce the news is also very simple, now the super store has just started, and it still needs some customers, and it also needs some international influence.
Of course, this is only temporary, and the mentor is preparing from all aspects, from spokespersons, to media advertisements and various public opinion means, etc.
Of course, Zongheng is also preparing, Yang Yue and Ling Zhiqiu are also selling the stocks in their hands to pull investors, only in this way can they survive the risk of falling stock market by relying on the investment they have withdrawn from Zongheng.
In fact, both sides are fighting for time, whoever prepares to finish first will be able to strike first!"
"Yang Yue, they are really interesting, they kicked out the mentor, and now they are selling the stocks in their hands, isn't this diluting their rights in the board of directors?"
"I can't say that, Yang Yue's idea is very simple, even if the shares in their hands are diluted, but Zongheng still has the final say, but if they don't drive the mentor out, Zongheng will have one more talker."
"The world of rich people, I really don't understand, but I still don't understand, since you have kicked out the previous manager of the cosmetics area, and now the super store has also separated from Zongheng, you can fire me while I am hospitalized, why are you willing to use me as the manager of the cosmetics area?
I'm not your confidant, and I'm not the patriarch of your reformers, so I think there will be a lot of people in your own who would like to take on this manager's position, right?"
"Of course I'm not hot-headed, I'm investigating, after you served as a temporary store manager, in order to increase sales in the mobile phone area, you actually spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy expensive clothes for the salesmen below you, which can prove that your purpose is not to make money but to achieve,
Even if you use a loss-making method, you have to make achievements, but since you are not for money, then it is for promotion, I don't know why you were promoted, but I know that you must not be bad for money, because when you left Zongheng to take a break, you actually bought a car worth nearly 4 million in full,
So, you are definitely not a bad money, not bad money, but you work harder than anyone who is poor, although I don't know why, but I know that rights must be important to you, or rather, the manager of the cosmetics area is important to you"
Hearing Qin Pei's analysis, Xie Jinfei trembled in his heart, this woman is a ghost.
Xie Jinfei nodded undeniably and said: "You're right, although I can't compare with you rich guys, but at least I have enough to live, as for why I want to be the manager of the cosmetics area, purely to pass the time, in fact, I am a rich second generation!"
"Rich second generation?"
Looking at Qin Pei's suspicious eyes, Xie Jinfei patted his thigh, then stood up and asked, "Then Mr. President, when do you think it is appropriate for me to go to work?"
"Anytime"
"That'...... Tomorrow?"
"No problem, I'll let Lin Zi prepare your materials now"
Xie Jinfei sighed and walked to the door of the office with various complicated expressions such as helplessness, satisfaction, and unwillingness, opened the door neatly and walked out, but stopped halfway out, turned his head and said to Qin Pei: "That, the previous agreement is still valid!"
After speaking, he closed the door and left, leaving Qin Pei alone to look at the leftovers on the coffee table.
"What an interesting young man!"
