Chapter 768 - Professional Manager
In Yanjing for a few days, Tang Genshui and Xia Ye escorted Bian's father and mother back to Songjiang.
Bian Xuedao can't go together, he still has a job in Yanjing.
The "Weibo Developer Conference" has not yet opened, the address of the Yanjing Branch of Youdao Investment Group has not been finalized, Jiang Mingkai has not yet sent a letter to the 80th floor of the third phase of the International Trade Center, and the decoration design of Wancheng Huafu Villa has not yet been drawn.
Also, he hasn't seen the two management talents that Zhu Zhichun promised to help Bian Xuedao introduce.
Li Bing made his move, hung up the license plate sent by Jiang Mingkai, and when he drove in and out of the community, the community doorman looked at the license plate and was stunned.
Seeing the doorman's expression through the car window, Bian Xuedao was extremely emotional-in this city, even the doorman of the community has studied the privileged license plate.
In Li Bing's words, everyone was scared.
If you offend the powerful because you don't know the license plate, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that you have to raid your home and destroy your home, but losing your job is really a matter of minutes.
While driving, Li Bing told Bian Xuedao that he had begun to memorize the Yanjing privilege license plate number segment that he had searched and sorted out on the Internet, so as not to honk the horn of the car that he shouldn't have honked.
What Bian Xuedao appreciates most is Li Bing's coarse and fine.
For a few days, Shan Rao went to work, while learning the Tao to wander and socialize in Yanjing City.
First, the Chang'an Club contacted him by phone and asked him to take time to go to the club to refine his membership information.
He only found out when he went, because the membership card given by Zhu Zhichun was transferable, and there was no personal information about Bian Xuedao in the club.
And high-end clubs like Chang'an will give each member red wine, cakes, birthday gifts, and sing birthday songs on their birthday. If a member does not visit the club for a month, the membership manager will call to express condolences. The club's management believes that members are derelict in their duties if they do not come to the clubhouse for a month without any reason.
Especially for "high-quality members among high-quality members" like Bian Xuedao, the club can't be careless.
The next day, the vice president, the director of the membership department and the member manager of the club held a meeting to collectively study the membership level of Bian Xuedao.
In the Chang'an Club, there is a strong information collection system and membership level evaluation system, and after seeing the data display of the information collectors, the management unanimously decided to give Bian Xuedao a "2A+" level membership.
The membership level for Bian Xuedao is lower than Zhu Zhichun's "3A" level, but even if it is a "2A+" level, there are no more than 50 people in a top club like Chang'an Club. The "2A+" members of the Chang'an Club all have huge wealth and resources in their hands, and they are all characters who can make their fields tremble by stomping their feet.
The evaluation of "2A+" level members of Bian Xuedao represents recognition and honor.
The reason why Chang'an values Bian Xuedao is that Chang'an is not the only top club, not to mention far away, only in Yanjing City, there are several that are as famous as Chang'an. Although several top clubs consciously differentiate themselves, competition with each other is inevitable, after all, successful people are a scarce resource, and the more you go to that one, the fewer you will come.
There are diplomats, government officials, business elites and fashion people who are really active in the clubhouse, and the top clubs compete for quality members, and the location, interior decoration, service level, leisure projects, food taste, etc. are all superficial. People who are successful enough to become members of a top club like Chang'an, can say what they want in their daily life, and the only thing they lack is a circle and platform for contact and communication with people at the same level.
Therefore, whichever club has more "real people" will be able to produce a convergence effect and embark on the track of a virtuous circle.
This requires proper publicity of the club's "real people".
However, the target audience for publicity is very limited.
Take the Chang'an Club as an example, even Zhu Zhichun is its member, of course, there are many "real cows", but the problem is that Zhu Zhichun cannot be used as a signboard, and even Zhu Zhichun will not attend the club's large-scale drinking parties and other activities, or even if he does, he cannot appear in public reports or public photos. All the members of Chang'an Club above "2A+" level, there are many people like Zhu Zhichun.
Bian Xuedao fills this gap.
In the words of the professional data analysts of the Chang'an Club: Bian Xuedao is a very rare high-quality member. There is no shortage of awesome members in the club, but Bian Xuedao is undoubtedly the one with the most "star temperament". He is the myth of the self-made "billionaire generation" in the mainland; he is the "national male god" in the hearts of thousands of women; he is the boss of Zhiwei Technology, an "IT giant company"; and he is the vice chairman of the "Bordeaux Listed Cru Federation" in France......
Rich, accomplished, and famous, compared with the "rich third generation" of an invisible wealthy family like Zhu Zhichun, and the second and third generations of H who are sensitive to identity, Bian Xuedao can become a good signboard of the club.
This is the truth! It's roughly the same as what Zhu Zhichun said to Bian Xuedao in the car.
Because of this, Bian Xuedao went to Chang'an Club again and received unconventional and attentive service, and he truly felt at home.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Finally, three days after "disappearing", Zhu Zhichun called SΓΉ Bian Xuedao and helped him make an appointment with a management master to meet at the Chang'an Club in the afternoon.
At 2 p.m., Bian Xuedao went to the club first.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhu Zhichun also arrived.
The two of them were waiting for the person in the private room - Wu Sijie.
Bian Xuedao asked Zhu Zhichun: "Why did you choose to meet here? There are so many hotels outside." β
Zhu Zhichun took a sip of tea and said: "When I meet with the CEO of a company in an open hotel, the outside world may speculate whether the two companies have the intention of cooperating. If you meet with the vice president of a company, the outside world may speculate whether you are ready to poach people. But in the club, the membership system and privacy here have cut off the exposure channel, and no matter whether the negotiation is successful or not, everyone is relaxed. β
Then, from Zhu Zhichun's mouth, he learned who Wu Sijie was.
Wu Sijie, 54, holds a Ph.D. in economics from the Institute of Finance of the People's Bank of China and a postdoctoral fellow in theoretical economics at the School of Economics at Nankai University. He used to be the president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Asakawa City, the deputy mayor of Asakawa City, and the assistant to the governor. He has a wide network in the financial industry and government departments, and the former deputy governor of the central bank and the director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange are his classmates. On the other hand, his work ability has also been proven for a long time, he once took charge of the debt restructuring of Hailan Group, and in one year, the loss of 2.2 billion Hong Kong dollars of Hailan Group turned into a profit of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Speaking of this person, it can be summed up as "a prominent academic background in finance, an almost perfect professional career".
Bian Xuedao asked: "Such a person, willing to come to Youdao?"
Zhu Zhichun said: "He is a professional manager, as long as the annual salary is in place, and he feels that your company has prospects, he is not willing." β
Bian Xuedao asked: "Annual salary...... How much is it to give?"
Zhu Zhichun said: "Actually, I have already quoted a price for him for you before. β
"How much did you report?"
"Annual salary of 5 million + 5 million share options, sign a 5-year contract. β
Bian Xuedao: "......"
He was really stunned by Zhu Zhichun's words.
The annual salary is 500, and stock options are added, which is equivalent to finding a part-time emperor!
Before Wu Sijie arrived, Bian Xuedao hurriedly asked Zhu Zhichun: "Is he really worth this amount?"
Zhu Zhichun smiled and said, "It's worth it, I asked for it after I looked at the thatched house." β
Bian Xuedao asked: "Youdao Group needs such a master?"
Zhu Zhichun's expression changed from a smile to a stern one: "The economic crisis has begun to spread, and it will be difficult next year, and having a professional master at the helm can avoid hitting the rocks." Moreover, according to the current development speed of Zhiwei Weibo, it should also be listed in 2009 at the latest, Wu Sijie is a master of capital operation, and has a wide range of contacts, which will be of great help to Zhiwei to be listed. β
Bian Xuedao was moved, and he began to look forward to meeting this professional manager who was respected by Zhu Zhichun.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door of the private room was pushed open by the service staff, and then Bian Xuedao saw Wu Sijie, a lean man with glasses, a hard face, and sharp eyes like an eagle.
The conversation between the three of them was very direct, without any twists and turns.
Wu Sijie said straight to the point: "I am 54 years old this year, I signed a 5-year contract, and I will basically reach the age of retirement." For me, this may be the last fight of my career, and I hope to draw a happy end instead of leaving regrets unwillingly. β
Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "I will be in Yanjing recently, we can talk more and see if we are consistent in the understanding of enterprise management ideas and development strategies." β
Wu Sijie suddenly changed his words: "Can I ask Mr. Bian a few questions?"
Bian Xuedao nodded: "Just ask." β
Wu Sijie asked, "What is the purpose of business?"
Bian Xuedao said: "Profit." β
Wu Sijie asked, "What is the motivation for making a business decision?"
Bian Xuedao said: "Reasonable profit. β
Wu Sijie asked again: "Which is more important for an enterprise to decide what to do or what not to do?"
Bian Xuedao pondered for two seconds and said, "If you join Youdao Group, you decide what to do, and I decide what not to do." β
Wu Sijie squinted his eyes and said, "The last question, what is the highest level of the enterprise?"
Bian Xuedao smiled: "Let's put it this way, if you face the media, I will say that the highest state of the enterprise is to benefit the society." If you face peers, I would say that the highest level of enterprise is to gain the respect of your opponents. Now facing you, I will say...... Using limited assets to obtain maximum returns is the highest state pursued by enterprises. β
Before Bian Xuedao's words fell, Wu Sijie stood up, stretched out his right hand to Bian Xuedao, and said, "I now officially state that I am willing to join Youdao Group." β
Holding Wu Sijie's hand, a word suddenly popped up in Bian Xuedao's heart - sympathy.
After that, the conversation was much more relaxed and open.
Including Zhu Zhichun, the three people in the private room constantly exchanged their understanding of business management and capital operation.
In the next few days, as the two continued to come into contact, Wu Sijie showed his talent-
"A healthy company must be one with a clear business model, a break-even company with positive cash flow. β
"In the current rapid economic development, enterprises should firmly grasp their core values and outsource non-core businesses, such as logistics and production. Asset-light is not only an option, but also an inevitability. β
"For Weibo, blindly expanding users, without considering the long-term profit model, the final result can only be dragged to death by the huge number of invalid users. β
"There are four major risks in the real estate industry, one is policy risk, the second is market risk, the third is implementation risk, and the fourth is systemic risk. Cooperative development is the next best choice in desperation, because it will not only divert profits, but also cause management chaos, and more importantly, it is difficult to reach a strategic consensus, and the perfect plan is often executed in the wrong way. β
"Under the economic crisis, there will be a lot of valuable acquisitions, as long as the company has 'sufficient ammunition', it is time not to hesitate. In terms of increasing land reserves, mergers and acquisitions are more effective than raising cards. β
"What are user needs? It is the most true and original desire of human beings, and only by seeing them rather than blocking them, can products and services truly meet or even exceed user expectations. β

On November 15, Youdao Group announced that Wu Sijie was appointed executive director and executive vice president of Youdao Group, Shen Yaan was appointed executive vice president of Youdao Group, and Ding Kedong was appointed executive vice president of Youdao Group.
On the same day, on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, the first performance of Shen Fu's global tour kicked off at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and 24,000 tickets were sold out by fans.
According to local media reports in the United States, the first concert of "Asian diva" Shen Fu was well-made, with a strong lineup of guests, and a peerless style, which was unprecedented.
