Chapter 253: History
In order to let Shang Yishen, the position of president, sit more firmly. So now the head of the businessman still holds 15 percent of the equity. The remaining 39 percent of the shares were scattered in the hands of other people in the big family of merchants.
In fact, Shang Yishen has always wanted to take back all the shares scattered in other people's hands. In this way, Shang Yishen can truly grasp all the power of Shang's enterprise in his hands.
Although the current Shang enterprise is said to be in charge of power on the surface, it is not the case in reality. Because the predecessor of Shang's business is a traditional family business, it contains a very important content, that is, the family.
The beginning of the family business has never been a monopoly, and all the equity is scattered in the hands of the family, but the person who bears the main risk will have a little more equity in his hand, and Shang Yishen plays such a role in the business enterprise.
This role is equivalent to the head of a flock of sheep, leading other sheep to make the right choice, in the grass occupied by a group of sheep, the grass eaten by the head sheep is often the most tender and delicious, which is equivalent to enjoying the best survival resources of this flock.
But when leading the other sheep, the head sheep also has to take a certain risk for this, he has to judge where they are suitable for migration, where resources are more abundant, and where there will be fewer threats.
If the head sheep has always made the best judgment for the flock, then it will be fine, and the sheep will continue to support the head sheep, but if the head sheep has made wrong decisions again and again, then for the flock, the head sheep is the head sheep they have chosen wrong.
For the benefit of the whole flock, the head sheep will eventually be revoked from the title of head sheep, and within the flock, the sheep will re-elect a new head to continue to lead them.
Shang Yishen, as well as the head of the business who previously served as the president, their roles are equal to the role of the head sheep in the flock, but the old man is old and enjoys his old age, and he is replaced by a young and strong new head sheep.
If only things were as simple as a flock, those that are good for the tribe will stay and continue to be the first sheep, and those who are not good will be replaced. It's a pity that they are all human beings, and the merchants are not simple creatures like sheep.
There is still an essential difference between animals and animals, especially when ape-man evolved into modern man, and with great intelligence above other animals, he defined himself as something different from animals, calling himself human.
Man is an animal that is too complicated for a sheep, and he can't just decide, as long as it's good for the herd, he will always support the head sheep, he will think of more things, he will think of his own individual interests.
Although he is under the leadership of the head sheep, he can now be fed and clothed. But people are not like sheep, as long as sheep have grass to eat, water to drink, and no natural enemies, they can live a very high heart, but people are not like this.
People have their own seven emotions and six desires, so it is inevitable that people have the bad nature of survival and the greed that cannot be satisfied.
When he was led by the head sheep, from the days when he was not full of food and clothing before, to the days when he had food, drink and surplus now, he not only stopped there, but thanked the head sheep he led, and even was greedy and insufficient, and stared at the latest tender grass in the mouth of the head sheep.
This meadow is the best meadow in the range, and it is a place coveted by countless sheep, but sensible sheep know that this is for the head sheep to eat, and only when the head sheep eats well, can they grow strong and lead them to the right path.
Wise or responsible sheep will choose to silently look at the grass in front of them and live their own small life silently. But there are always sheep who don't understand, and think that since the head sheep can eat the freshest grass, then why can't he eat it?
So he began to calculate the land of the head sheep day and night, and wanted to take advantage of the head sheep's lack of attention, so as to grab the resources of the head sheep. But he didn't think that the reason why the head sheep could eat the freshest grass was because the things he carried on him were not such simple things, but the hope of the whole clan.
And the role that Shang Yishen is playing now is the sheep who wants to lead the flock and find new opportunities, but the problem now is that in this flock of merchants, it does not mean that all the sheep are the supporters of Shang Yishen and the big family of merchants.
Among these sheep of the merchants, there are some sheep who have a bad stomach, and they have a small abacus in their hearts, thinking about how to take away the head sheep of Shang Yishen, sit in the position of the head sheep, and take the Shang enterprise into the bag.
Because the predecessor of Shang's business was a family business, the people who held important positions in it were all business owners themselves at the beginning. At the beginning of the development of Shang's business, all the people in the business wanted the company to be good.
So there is a common goal, everyone is distracted, wholeheartedly want Shang's enterprise to become better, so at the beginning, everyone is very united together, the whole family riveted to do things, for the later development of Shang's enterprise, laid a solid foundation.
This kind of family business operation model, at the beginning, can indeed make the enterprise have the greatest sense of development prospects. Everyone trusts each other, and there are fewer suspicions and illusions when they are working.
However, the disadvantages of this business operation model will slowly show their disadvantages later. Because of such a family business operation model, without the addition of fresh blood, it will become very passive in development.
In the first one or two generations, it was fine, but in the later years, the Shang family's job became a kind of private goods turned into a place of decay, from the residence of the able, to the hereditary position of the family.
It is not that a capable person can hold power, but through his own reasons, as long as he inherits it through the hands of his immediate relatives, he can get a high-paying position.
But in this way, the inheritance of the position does not have to be able to be obtained by strict requirements. It means that the operation mode of this family business is very backward and not suitable for the healthy development of an enterprise.
Just imagine, the position of the general manager is inherited by the person of the fixed family, because the family holds the equity of the company, which will inevitably make the person who is about to sit in this position have to carry.
Especially if the only son of the merchant is not a descendant family, he will feel that this position must be in his pocket, and he is not the main person in charge of the company, and if there is something wrong with the company, it must be the person who is in the descendant's line.
Since he does not need to compete with others for the position of general manager, and he does not have to worry about the overall performance of the company, he will have a slack mentality. Coupled with the education of the descendants of the side detachment, the strict requirements of the descendants are generally not required by the lineage. Generations of dynasties have fallen because of this deformed pattern of succession.
Obviously, such a development is obviously very unfavorable to the future of Shang's enterprise, so from the time of Shang Yishen's grandfather's generation, a reform of Shang's enterprise began.
The way of reform was not too harsh, at least not too harsh on the people of their Shang clan. To put it simply, there are two reductions, the first is to reduce the number of people in the Shang family in the Shang family, and those who have the ability to take the lead, abolishing the hereditary system, and the other is to reduce the proportion of shares in the hands of merchants.
Although these two reductions were in the eyes of Shang Yishen's grandfather, they were not at all mistreating the Shang family. First of all, the people of the Shang family, as long as they hold shares, will soon not have to serve in the Shang family, and they can get dividends.
In addition, it also gives Shangshi Group more room for development, although it is said to reduce the proportion of shares in the hands of businessmen, but once it is the time of this reform, most of the moths are removed, and the future of Shangshi Enterprise is still very much to look forward to.
Therefore, although the proportion of shares is reduced, the dividends obtained will not be reduced, on the contrary, these limited shares have unlimited room for development. The final share must be a lot more than before.
But this is just Shang Yishen's grandfather's idea, although this is a very forward-looking and wise move, but in fact, the operation is not as smooth sailing as Shang Yishen's grandfather imagined.
In fact, there are not many businessmen who can understand the inner intentions of Shang Yishen's grandfather, and it is true that the merchant is a big family, but not everyone has a very smart business mind.
More of them are ordinary people, who can only see the immediate benefits, like a frog at the bottom of a well, and can't see the long-term development of some things. They can't see the huge benefits that the future development of Shang's enterprise may eventually bring like Shang Yishen's father.
All they can see is what they have now, what they can get, what they have now. They only saw the position of Shang's enterprise, only saw some small dividends, and felt that these things were things they deserved.
The vast majority of them can't understand why Shang Yishen's grandfather would suddenly make such a decision, they can't see the future benefits, and only care about the small profits in front of them.
Not only did they not understand Shang Yishen's grandfather's approach, but they even felt that Shang Yishen's grandfather was because he coveted the value of Shang's business.
