Sitting on the plane back to the capital, Ye Shikun still felt a faint pain in his head.

I really drank a little too much last night......

However, this trip to Shenzhen is still valuable: Xiang Yang made it clear that he would support him in the board of directors, which got at least 2 votes from the neutral faction (Xiang Yang, Qi Zhongwei), plus the three votes originally controlled (Ye Lanting, Chen Jingzhi, Ye Shikun), and 1 of the four votes of the independent directors was also relatively stable (Wu Hua).

Next, the most important thing is the vote of the sister-in-law Ye Lanjun, after all, she is now the family fund "Ye Yuan Partnership" on behalf of the Ye family, which has a different meaning.

In addition, at the right time, he had a small gathering with Yang Minya and others, and the idea of divesting other non-main business assets of the group that he had planned in his mind gradually took shape. Whether it is Hongxinyuan or Evergrande, they are good partners and have sufficient financial resources and capital to take over Yuanfeng Real Estate.

In his planning, Yuanfeng is to take the route of a large-scale comprehensive group company with agriculture, finance and the Internet as the core, and some assets that are far away from the main industrial chain are necessary measures to slim down.

However, this measure, like other reforms, will touch the interests of a large number of veteran employees, and Ye Shikun knows that he needs to come up with a strategy that is beneficial to everyone to reassure people.

It is extremely difficult to carry out so-called innovation and reform in large groups, and the most important point in order to succeed is to be able to benefit the majority of people, so that it is possible to gain the support of the people below and implement the new policy.

Uniting the majority and striking at a handful is the only way to win the struggle as Taizu said.

After Ye Shikun returned to Yuanfeng, he touched the situation and found that his previous strategic development plan was too focused on the business level.

He also needed to come up with a new supplementary plan to address the resistance of the company's reforms and business transformations that were impacted and compromised.

In fact, just Liu Jianjun, Han Zhao and others on the board of directors jumped out against him, Ye Shikun was not worried.

To control the board of directors, as long as he has more than half of the votes, it is enough for him to operate, and now with the support of Ye Lanting and Xiang Yang, this is not difficult to achieve.

What he is more worried about is that if most of the old people below the elders of a group with tens of thousands of employees are passive and slack off or oppose him because the new deal has damaged their interests, then even Ye Lanting will attach great importance to this issue.

After all, for the traditional industry such as agricultural enterprises, the flow of talent is inherently less than that of emerging economies, and the elderly with rich field management experience and agricultural knowledge are a very valuable asset.

No matter how good the strategy is, in the end, you still need the people below to do it bit by bit!

Therefore, Ye Shikun really wants to grasp the power of the company and establish the prestige from top to bottom, in addition to the struggle and skill in the board of directors, it is more important to get the support and support of the people below.

And for this, the strategy that Ye Shikun thought of was - employee stock ownership plan!

The core team of Liu Jianjun, Han Zhao and other veterans in the board of directors are all old people who have worked in Yuanfeng for more than ten years or even more than 20 years, and these people are basically all over the following branches and subsidiaries, which is also the foundation of Yuanfeng's development to today.

These people have been working in Yuanfeng for so many years, most of them are diligent, agriculture, especially planting, roots are still in the land, whether it is years of relationship with farmers or field management knowledge, Yuanfeng relies on these old people. After all, young people now like to run to the big cities and don't understand rural things......

Ye Shikun's employee stock ownership plan is aimed at these elderly people.

As long as he wins their support and support, Ye Shikun's authority in the company will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Ye Shikun is ready to come up with a proposal that all employees in the Yuanfeng Group who have worked for more than 10 years can participate in this employee stock ownership plan.

Of course, due to the company's equity control and the equity distribution requirements of the listed company, it is best to adopt the method of employee stock ownership fund.

First, set up an ESOP trust fund;

Then, guaranteed by the company, the fund comes forward to borrow from the bank to purchase part of the shares (or allotment shares) in the hands of the company's shareholders in the name of implementing the employee stock ownership plan, and the purchased shares are held by the trust fund, and the interest and principal of the bank loan are repaid with the company's profits and funds transferred from the company's other welfare plans (such as employee pension plans, etc.).

With the repayment of the loan, the shares are gradually transferred to the workers' accounts in a predetermined proportion, and when the loans are fully repaid, the shares are all owned by the employees.

The main points of this type of plan are:

The bank lends money to the company, and then the company borrows money to the employee stock ownership trust, or the company acts as a guarantee, and the bank directly lends to the employee stock ownership trust fund;

The trust buys shares from the company or existing stockholders with borrowings;

The company provides a certain share of the tax-exempt contribution to the trust every year;

The profits and other funds obtained by the trust fund from the company each year are returned to the company or the bank loans;

When an employee retires or leaves the company, they receive stock or cash on certain conditions.

In this way, the elderly of these companies can obtain company shares through the employee stock ownership fund, after a certain lock-up period, and thus become a closely related stakeholder of the group.

This shareholding plan is believed to greatly motivate the original old employees and improve their enthusiasm and participation in the company's transformation and development.

The most important thing is that this trick can take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and make it difficult for the veterans in the board of directors to support themselves!

This is a yang conspiracy, as long as Ye Shikun proposes it, he is sure that the shareholders' meeting will be passed, after all, the old man will not object, and the patriarch will not dare to oppose it (otherwise the people below will really deviate from morality).

At that time, many of Ye Shikun's strategies, there will not be too many constraints below, after all, everyone is a shareholder, and they will all hope that the company will get better and better.

As for the new employees of the "Young Zhuang faction", Ye Shikun also has many ways to appease, such as the promotion of positions, the increase of salary, and the second batch of equity incentive plans.

In short, it's still the same sentence, win over the majority, hit a handful!
