Chapter 44: The Land of Aesthetic Distortion
Because of the characteristics of their own enterprises, Wanhu has now been on the front line of management exploration.
The initial management system of Wanhu was to soften the domestic Soviet-style production and the lean production of the company.
The two types of production emphasize different things.
Soviet-style production, the most important emphasis is on the enthusiasm of employees.
Let all employees have the passion to do their work.
And this is also the most important characteristic of the worker emphasized by the founders of modern management.
And it is also from him that it is determined that it is not the employees themselves who look for the direction of work, but the special personnel department, according to the characteristics of each employee, to carry out training and work arrangements.
These stories were told to her daughter as small paragraphs, and her daughter found them very interesting, and even said what she would do if she was in that position.
Takahashi is also pleased that he intends to cultivate his daughter's future direction.
Entrepreneurs like Takahashi are, to some extent, not suitable for management.
Because many times, the personality required for entrepreneurship and management is completely opposite.
For example, entrepreneurship needs to be enterprising, but for a manager, what is needed is to keep everything that is now, rather than giving up the present in order to pursue some illusory achievements.
For Wanhu, in fact, the future development route of Wanhu is already very clear.
What is needed is not a leader with the ability to innovate, but a person with relative foresight and who knows how to manage.
It's like Apple, after Steve Jobs' death, it was Cook who took over.
Does Cook have any ideas that make people feel bright?
No.
Even the Apple mobile phone after he took over is getting more and more mediocre day by day and has not changed.
However, such people are exactly what Apple needs.
Why?
Because what Apple needs is no longer expanding, but the areas it has already occupied.
Including mobile phones, computers, notebooks and these fields are intensively cultivated, that is, refined management.
And that's exactly what Cook excels at.
It is precisely because Cook is good at coordinating the upstream and downstream industrial chains and is good at saving costs that Apple will make profits dozens of times or hundreds of times that of other companies with the same mobile phone shipments when the mobile phone shipments do not have an absolute advantage.
Of course, this is due to Cook, and more to the pioneers.
Perhaps the importance of managers is not yet evident in Apple's case.
In the retail industry, that's pretty obvious.
The so-called large supermarket chains are actually walking on a tightrope of profits.
It may lose a few days a year, and the year will be in vain.
Don't think this is a joke, the net profit of a large supermarket is only about 2 to 4 percent.
And it is almost impossible for any supermarket to have so much money to buy goods.
Therefore, their capital flow relies on the manufacturer's policy of giving goods first and settling later.
Generally, small supermarkets may check out once a month, and large supermarkets may check out every three to six months.
That is, there is a margin of three to six months to make money.
However, it does not mean that all purchased goods can be sold.
And it can't be a single product.
As a result, the entire billing period is continuous.
If you want to operate a large supermarket chain, you need to arrange the account period.
Otherwise, once a company thinks you can't afford to pay for their goods, it will attract other people to come and run on the payment.
Then the company will die violently.
And the same is true for manufacturing industries such as Apple or Wanhu.
For them with strong bargaining power, how can there be the possibility of payment first.
Therefore, if you calculate it carefully, whether it is Apple or Wanhu's high profits.
In addition to the fact that they have relatively advanced technology, some of them are really exploited.
It's just that since Marx wrote Capital, no business owners have acknowledged exploitation, but have taken out the marginal utility theory that they had spurned.
"Alright, we're home. Gao Qiao took Gao Yiyuan's hand and got off the train.
That's right, as soon as he got out of the car, Takahashi said this to Gao Yiyuan.
Because the headquarters of Wanhu has a large transportation demand, road transportation cannot be fully satisfied.
Therefore, the railway bureau specially opened a special train here, and the end of this special train is the seaport.
Because of the relationship between 10,000 households, the import and export trade volume of this seaport has been the largest among all Chinese ports for many years.
"Where is home?" Gao Yiyuan said, looking around.
"Right here. You see, where we are now, is Wanhu Park. Theoretically, it can be regarded as our home. Takahashi said, "Your life may change more in the future, and I hope you can adapt to it." ”
When he said that he had the wealth of ten cities before, Gao Yiyuan, who was not suspicious, was not suspicious, but at this moment, there were some doubts about his father, whether he was talking big.
Because, this is like an old farmer saying that he can donate gold and silver to the country, but it is impossible to donate an old cow, because he really has an old cow.
And now the Wanhu Park is in front of Gaoqiao.
"Chairman, you're back. "The drivers outside are all ready, and they all said after seeing Takahashi.
Takahashi waved his hand and took his daughter's hand and got into the car.
The little girl was a little convinced, but she looked at the buildings in the park, the bustling streets, and the people who came and went, and she couldn't believe it, all of this was owned by her father.
In the process of observing, he discovered a very magical thing.
It's the ugly-looking pants that my dad is wearing, and almost everyone here is wearing the same pants.
Gao Yiyuan's small brows were tangled, and she was a little skeptical that the aesthetics of the people in this place were all broken.
Actually, her worries were unnecessary.
The aesthetics of the people here are not broken.
Sometimes, the so-called trend has little to do with people's aesthetics.
Takahashi's ability to create such a trend just by buying a pair of pants from a street stall is a good illustration of this problem.
Even, even other people, seeing that the boss who bought the pants made money, they also got a car of the same style of pants to sell.
As a result, it was obviously the same thing, but no one bought the pants he sold, even if it was cheaper, 20%, 40%, 60% cheaper, and no one bought it at the big sale of jumping off the building.
Because...... They don't buy the pants themselves......
Even if there are children in the college entrance examination, some parents deliberately buy their children a pair of pants of the same style as Takahashi, as if their children can take more points.
Takahashi was also helpless about this, so he could only go with them.
