"Did you hear that? The day before yesterday, there was a rumor at the shareholders' meeting that the company was going to lay off people recently. During the lunch break, several female employees got together and talked quietly while drinking tea at the dining room.

"No, I also heard that the decision to lay off people this time was personally made by Mr. Xie."

"I couldn't sleep for two nights when I heard the news, but a friend of mine quietly inquired about it, saying that the focus of this layoff was on the middle and middle management level. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"I tell you, the person in charge of the layoffs this time is the newly appointed chairman of the board of supervisors, you say, how many related households in our company can go? I bet, at most one. ”

"You mean that new artist in the company lately? Hey, I really don't know where this Chen came from. ”

"No matter where he comes from, he must not be an ordinary person, otherwise he can buy the shares of the company's shareholders? Our company is not an ordinary brokerage company, Xie's brokerage company, just this name, is not something that can be bought with money. ”

"Good looks, extraordinary family background, and always used by Xie Zong, hey, do you think he has a girlfriend? If I ......"

"Don't say it, Director Liu is here."

Liu Mengshan carried the latest LV, stepped on Belle high heels, and passed by the female workers with a proud expression, leaving a strong smell of perfume. She rested her right hand on her lower abdomen casually and walked in the direction of the elevator, making phone calls as she went.

"Well, I'm going to go to the hospital for testing, I guess that's it, I've lost my appetite these days......"

Phantom Company 8th Floor, Conference Room

The transparent circular glass wall encloses a small space of about 40 square meters, and the senior management of the company, from the manager Zheng of the finance department, the advertising and creative department, the manager of the technical department, the manager of the personnel department, the manager of the logistics department, the manager of the procurement department, to the two art directors, all sat in the conference room on time and waited.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yin appeared outside the conference room, followed by four people, one was the assistant Ning Yue, the other was Xiao Wu, the assistant to the general manager, and the last two were bodyguards in black suits.

"Chairman Chen." Everyone greeted Chen Yin loudly.

"Hello everyone." Chen Yin sat at the top of the conference table, Xiao Wu sat in the first position next to Chen Yin's left hand, Ning Yue put Wen Jiàn in front of Chen Yin, connected the projector, and then exited the conference room and closed the glass door.

Functionally speaking, Chen Yin has the right to supervise the company, but not the right to manage, but the assistant general manager is one of the company's top management.

Chen Yin's body slowly leaned back, until his back just touched the back of the rotating chair, stopped, phoenix eyes provoked, and slowly glanced at several executives present, some of whom knew each other, and some of whom met for the first time today. The fingers of his right hand resting on the table lightly tapped the table and smiled: "Please start from my right hand side and introduce yourself for three minutes in turn, including name, position, working hours, and current work progress." ”

"My name is Zheng xx, the manager of the finance department......"

After a round of rounds, Chen Yin pressed the laser pointer in his hand, the projector interface switched, and a dynamic trend table was brought up, the top is the job title, the horizontal axis is the time, the vertical axis is the annual income of the relevant positions in the company, and the vertical axis is the average annual income of the position in the same industry.

Everyone was puzzled at first, and then stunned, and several senior executives led by the manager of the finance department looked strange.

Chen Yin's eyes were calm and he continued to switch the slideshow interface. After comparing the annual income of each position with the average, it was followed by a comparison with the two giants in the entertainment industry, Ultrasound Entertainment and Huaxing Entertainment, and finally the annual income added value of the Phantom Agency, which was also compared with the average of its peers and then compared with the two most cutting-edge companies.

One rises sharply, the other descends slowly, a strong contrast, like a resounding slap in the face. From the beginning to the end, the entire conference room was silent.

"What do you think?" Chen Yin slowly put down the laser pointer and said. After two minutes of waiting, no one spoke. He laughed and slapped his palms twice: "Everyone is so modest, then I'll say it first." First of all, I would like to congratulate most of you on the fact that the annual revenue has increased more than 3 times in the past ten years, which is 50% higher than the average of its peers and 8% of the industry leading groups. ”

The face of the manager of the personnel department is difficult to see, among several executives, his annual income has increased and fluctuated the most, followed by the managers of the two departments of advertising entrepreneurship and technology, and the annual income of the two art directors, Song Hao and Zhang Zhang, is calculated separately, in addition to the basic salary paid by the company, the most important income is calculated by the percentage of the income of the artists under them.

"But I am curious about something, the company's total income in recent years seems to be just enough to pay the basic salary of more than 100 people up and down our company, which also excludes two of them - the chairman and the general manager." Chen Yin knocked on the table, "Manager Zheng, the company's finances are in your charge, you can explain to everyone what the reason is." ”

Cold sweat began to break out on the forehead of Manager Zheng of the Finance Department, and he stood up and smiled: "This ...... This one...... This one...... It's complicated......"

"Then simplify the complex, long story short."

Manager Zheng looked around, and he couldn't say why. Chen Yin glanced at him coldly: "You can't say it, I'll help you say it." In 06, the company's total income was 3 million, the head office allocated 5 million, 3.5 million as shareholder dividends, 500,000 in advertising, 500,000 in logistics procurement, 300,000 in the company's infrastructure maintenance, 200,000 in new artist training and packaging; In 07, the total income was 2.5 million, the head office allocated 7 million, 5 million as shareholder dividends, 800,000 in advertising, 500,000 in logistics procurement, 300,000 in facility maintenance, 400,000 in artist packaging ......"

"Do you understand? The money for shareholders' dividends and maintaining the company's operation comes from the appropriation of the headquarters. After Chen Yin finished listing them one by one, he said lightly.

There was an uproar, the manager of the personnel department pushed away the chair and stood up, he was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, not tall, lean, called Ding Qiang: "Chairman Chen, the development of the entertainment industry in the past two years has not been very good, our company's industrial structure is single, and it is definitely impossible to maintain the normal operation of the company just by relying on the income from the artist's announcement of filming." If you just look at the company's profit distribution, it is completely a partial generalization and out of context. ”

Chen Yin looked at him quietly, and only after he finished speaking, did he speak: "Manager Ding, a company has been in financial deficit for five consecutive years, and the annual income cannot maintain normal operation, and this company has not closed its doors until now, at this time, you actually talked to me about industry development, industrial structure, and profit distribution?" It seems that you need to re-learn your management science. ”

Manager Ding's face turned red, and he said with a stiff neck: "I have been the manager of the personnel department for more than ten years, and you are a hairy boy who talks to me about management?" It's a joke! ”

"I don't talk to you about management, I talk to you about personnel." Chen Yin looked at him with a light smile, "I'm sorry, from this moment on, you have been fired, Manager Ding." ”

As soon as these words came out, Manager Ding stood in place as if he had been struck by lightning, and when he came back to his senses, he yelled at Chen Yin with a hideous face: "Why did you fire me, what the are you!" Mr. Xie didn't speak, what qualifications do you have to fire me! ”

Chen Yin said lightly: "First of all, I don't like people to open and close their mouths to talk about my mother, you better pay attention to this; Secondly, as the chairman of the board of supervisors of the company, I have the right to supervise the abnormal operation of the company, and when a senior executive violates the company's rules or damages the company's interests, I can immediately suspend the senior executive from his position and submit a resolution to the board of directors to dismiss. ”

Xiao Wu stood up, looked at Manager Ding with pity, handed him a letter of dismissal, and added: "My trip represents the final decision of the board of directors, and now, Chairman Chen's resolution has been passed, and you have been dismissed." ”

Manager Ding's strength was drained all of a sudden, and he reluctantly supported himself to walk out of the conference room, muttering as he walked, "I don't believe it...... I'm going to Mr. Xie......" When I walked outside the door, my foot slipped and I almost fell directly to the ground. The two bodyguards who came with him reached out at the right time to help Manager Ding and escorted him all the way out.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and then they understood, Xie Li said that he was going to lay off people, not to talk about fun, but to move seriously, today's meeting is simply a money Hongmen banquet'.

"Let's move on." As soon as he opened his mouth, he fired a department manager, Chen Yin didn't even frown, "From 06 to this year, the advertising department, the procurement department, the logistics department, and the headquarters have invested 4 million, 3 million, and 2.5 million respectively, and the value of the interests of the company is less than half of the investment, and I hope that tomorrow morning, the three managers can go to my office and give me a reasonable explanation." ”

"As for the Treasury Department." Chen Yin's eyes fell on Manager Zheng again, "Before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, from 06 to this year, the project appropriations and final project profits of various departments, the income and expenditure of each artist will be made into forms and sent to me." ”

Manager Zheng tried to squeeze out a smile from his face that was more ugly than crying: "Yes." ”

Chen Yin finally looked at the two artistic directors on the other side of the conference table: "Director Zhang, the same is true for the studio's financial statements, the studio's project allocation, the total profits, the artist's announced income, and the expenditure will be sent to me before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Okay." Zhang Zhang lifted his glasses and nodded, "I'll notify the accountant when I go back." ”

Now in the entire conference room, Song Hao is the only one who has no task, he took the initiative to look at Chen Yin with a smile, and waited for him to speak. The position of art director can be said to be a very special existence in the agency company, they are the nominal managers of the company's agents and artists, and more often, the art director himself is a well-known agent in the circle, and the agent is the link between the company and the artist.

Excluding the studio, the Phantom Company originally had an art director, two agents, five artists, two men and three women. And among these six artists, the only one who is popular is only Si Lan under Song Hao, and the rest have either not been up or down for so many years, or they have not been popular for a long time, and they all rely on performing in the crew to earn income.

Song Hao's smile was very calm, he got a basic salary from the company, and there was no problem of 'high income and low efficiency', before Chen Yin signed the contract, his artists were the company's main source of income, even if Xie Ershao came in person, he couldn't find fault with him.

Chen Yin smiled faintly, opened the Wen Jiàn folder, took out a report from it, and handed it to him: "Director Song, this is a quarterly financial statement that Manager Zheng gave me yesterday. ”

Song Hao picked up the report from the table, and when he saw the contents clearly, Chen Yin continued: "Last week, your artist management department withdrew 300,000 yuan from the finance department, saying that it was used as a new artist reserve training. I want to ask you, where did the 300,000 go. ”

Song Hao remembered one thing because of his words, the assistant seemed to have mentioned to him before that Si Lan had advanced 300,000 yuan from the Ministry of Finance, because the artists in the company did not have a basic salary, and it all depended on filming and announcements, so there would be a situation where the capital turnover could not be opened. He heard his assistant say this at the time, just because Si Lan had an urgent need for money.

On that side, Manager Zheng of the Ministry of Finance secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was wise and told Chen Yin about this matter in advance, otherwise as soon as the financial statements of various departments were handed over tomorrow, this matter would have become a mistake of their finance department.

Song Hao was annoyed in his heart that Si Lan couldn't do things, but he had to remedy it for him: "It's because I urgently need money recently, so I asked the assistant to go to the Ministry of Finance to advance the salary in advance. ”

Can you get this kind of thing wrong? Manager Zheng glanced at Chen Yin and couldn't help but clear himself: "Director Song, you're too careless!" The process of advancing wages and withdrawing funds is different, such a large sum of money, if there is a business trip in the middle, who is responsible? ”

Speaking of which, this matter can be big or small, it all depends on what Chen Yin plans to do, Song Hao glanced at Chen Yin and said, "It's my fault, I'll ask the assistant to make up the money when I go back." ”

Chen Yin pointed to the table with his index finger: "This kind of mistake, don't make it again next time." "It's too much, it's enough to give a warning, he's already fired an executive in public today, and if he continues to hold on to the artistic director's mistakes, it will be more than worth the loss.

Song Hao breathed a sigh of relief and made a guarantee in public: "Next time I make such a mistake, I will take the initiative to resign." ”

That night, the dismissal of the manager of the personnel department caused an uproar in the company, but not waiting for everyone to be stunned, more surprising things in the back, the next morning, the manager of the advertising creative department, the manager of the procurement department took the initiative to hand over the resignation application, that afternoon, the general manager Xie approved the application of the two, and immediately paid the two more than a month's salary.

Day 3, Day 4, Day 5...... Within a week, Phantom Company fired a total of three executives, four middle managers, and more than 20 employees whose performance had been substandard for a long time. This kind of large-scale change of middle and senior management of the company has aroused extensive discussion in the entertainment industry and even the entire business community, with some praising it, some puzzled, and more people choosing to stand by and watch.

If a company lays off so many managers in a short period of time, if it can't find a suitable replacement, the company's day-to-day operations will be problematic.

Championship Group Headquarters, General Manager's Office.

After hearing the news, Xie Yu's face was solemn, and his thick eyebrows, which resembled Xie Li, were deeply wrinkled, and he commanded the assistant in a deep voice: "Call Xie Li and ask him to attend the group meeting next month, the matter is so big, what does he want to do?" ”

The assistant agreed, went down to call, and the phone was connected to the secretariat first, and then Xie Li's lazy voice came: "Say, what is Xie Yu looking for?" ”

The son called Lao Tzu's name directly, which is unique in the whole country. The assistant paused and conveyed Xie Yu's meaning.

Xie Li's expression was gloomy, his legs were resting on the desk, and he said slowly: "Okay, you sue Xie Yu, Ben Shao must be on time." ”

Hanging up the phone, Xie Li overflowed a mocking smile from his lips, and reached out to flick the orange in his hand (the secretary bought it from the supermarket early in the morning): "You say, is there someone who has lived comfortably for too long, and even forgot the difference between subsidiaries and branches, don't say that I just fired a few executives, even if I resold the company, it would not be his turn to speak." With that, he lowered his legs, took the orange, went out and turned right, and went to find another 'orange'.
