Chapter 1001: Layoffs

After completing the transaction with the No. 1 chief, Lu Shaohua was wholeheartedly relaxed, as for the reason, it was actually very simple, that is, before Deng Lao was about to be born, Lu Shaohua had promised him that he would help the country become stronger.

For the promise of a deceased person, Lu Shaohua never dared to forget, plus he was born in China, as early as after he was reborn, he had plans to serve the country, but a lot of things happened in the middle, so that Lu Shaohua had to be ruthless.

However, now Lu Shaohua has almost handed over several advanced technologies to the state, although he received money in the middle, but Lu Shaohua has been handed over to the country, and he has also fulfilled his promise to Deng Lao in disguise, and at the same time, he has also fulfilled the oath he once made.

Completed a heavy promise, and a lifelong oath, how can Lu Shaohua not be wholehearted and relaxed, others may not know, but on Lu Shaohua, it is equivalent to moving the thousand catties of boulder that pressed down on his chest.

But then again, Lu Shaohua still has a lot of world-class technologies in his hands, such as rockets, satellites, nuclear weapons and other fields, Lu Shaohua has more advanced technology than the country.

But those are no longer important, as long as the national support is important. Of course, if the country needs it, Lu Shaohua doesn't mind handing it over to the country, well, it's the kind that asks for money, after all, Lu Shaohua is a qualified businessman.

It's just that those things are no longer what Lu Shaohua should worry about now, after all, there are two things in front of Lu Shaohua now, one is the defense work of the Phoenix Group, and the other is the layout of the global financial market.

If there is a problem, then Lu Shaohua will bring it up as soon as possible, and let the people below fill in the weak links.

As for the layout of the global financial market, so far, Lu Shaohua has not looked at it, but only roughly followed Liu Mingzhang's report, and Lu Shaohua is half-understood for a while.

However, thinking of Liu Mingzhang's ability, and the general and detailed data he gave, Lu Shaohua has reason to believe that Liu Mingzhang will not make any mistakes, so even if he doesn't pay attention to the situation over there, Lu Shaohua can put the whole heart in his heart.

…… During the day, I inspect and take the documents back at night and go home to read them slowly.

This is Lu Shaohua's way of life during this time, he went to inspect the situation of the major subsidiaries of Phoenix Group during the day, pointed out any problems found, and let people deal with them quickly, there is no problem, Lu Shaohua will not disturb the senior management of any subsidiary, let them do their jobs.

In the evening, Lu Shaohua returned home from the group with documents about the following subsidiaries, worked overtime to read the documents, listed the problems that came out, formed a document, and sent it to the general manager of the subsidiary in the form of a document, so that they could solve it as soon as possible.

After all, Phoenix Group is a large group, and the following subsidiaries are all large companies without exception, such a large company, it is impossible to do a good job without loopholes, no, Lu Shaohua came like this, and the problem was exposed, fortunately, it was discovered early, but it was well solved.

But then again, the employees of the Phoenix Group are the elite of the elite, they do things, big problems will never come out, as for small problems, there will definitely be, people are not saints! Moreover, saints sometimes make mistakes.

Time was very fast, two months passed in the blink of an eye, and it was August 2007, and by this time, Lu Shaohua had already inspected the entire Phoenix Group, including the Phoenix Group in Shenzhen.

Lu Shaohua also spent half a month inspecting and rectifying one by one, completely removing a weak link in the Phoenix Group's defense, so that the Phoenix Group could truly become an iron bucket, an iron bucket with strong defensive power.

However, Lu Shaohua knows that the defense of the Phoenix Group is an iron bucket, but if you want to face the financial turmoil that has swept the world, the heat is obviously not enough. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about Phoenix Software Group, this is a software group, when the financial turmoil comes, the impact on the software industry is not very big, as long as you do a good job of defense and recover the arrears, then everything is okay.

But what about others, such as Phoenix Automobile Company, this is a real industrial company, what does it rely on, it is nothing more than the production of cars in exchange for money, once the financial turmoil comes, the consumption level declines, so what does Phoenix Motors rely on?

At this time, the first thing Phoenix Motors should do is not to strengthen the company's internal defense, but to reduce production to a minimum, so as to reduce losses, at the same time, layoffs are also an indispensable part, reduce the company's expenses, in order to support the normal operation of the entire Phoenix Motors Company.

That's right, it's about laying off employees, reducing expenses, and minimizing losses.

But the employees who have entered Phoenix Motors are all talents, and if they want to lay off employees, to be honest, Lu Shaohua is really a little reluctant. However, after remembering the horror of the financial turmoil and the duration of the financial turmoil, Lu Shaohua made up his mind.

Layoffs, there is no need to negotiate, not only Phoenix Motors will lay off employees, but even Phoenix Computer, the entire Phoenix Electronics, and Phoenix Sales will have to lay off employees.

Speaking of Phoenix Electric, I have to mention what happened a month ago, when Lu Shaohua came to Shenzhen, looked at the entire Phoenix production base, and gave an order to Phoenix TV, Phoenix DVD, Phoenix refrigerator, Phoenix air conditioner, Phoenix electric fan, and several companies that develop electronic products are all integrated, and a new Phoenix Electronics Group was established.

It can be said that all electrical products related to household use, Lu Shaohua has classified them into the Phoenix Electronics Group, which is not as lazy as before.

No way, Lu Shaohua didn't want to establish this Phoenix Electronics Group originally, but after looking at so many production bases, Lu Shaohua felt that it was a little scattered, once the financial storm came, it would be very troublesome to recuperate or something, so Lu Shaohua made up his mind to integrate them all.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the Phoenix production base, Lu Shaohua's initial plan is to lay off 40% of the staff, well, this is just a preliminary estimate, this number will likely be raised, it is impossible to be reduced, it will definitely be more than 40%, if it is high, it may exceed 60%.

The main targets of layoffs are ordinary employees and middle-level managers, and as for senior managers, Lu Shaohua has no intention of moving.

Of course, that refers to the layoffs in the Phoenix production base, as for Phoenix sales, Lu Shaohua does not dare to lay off so many employees, the preliminary estimate is that the layoffs will be between 10% and 20%, mainly for ordinary salesmen there, as for the middle management and senior management, none of them will be moved.

The financial turmoil is coming, the sales of products have decreased sharply, why do you need so many ordinary salesmen, but the middle-level administrators and senior managers are different, he is supporting the entire Phoenix sales to operate, coupled with the market downturn, those people are needed to dispatch to stimulate the recovery of the market, so how can Lu Shaohua lay off them.

Of course, on the issue of layoffs in Phoenix Sales, Lu Shaohua is only for Phoenix Sales in Shenzhen, as for Phoenix Sales in Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua does not plan to lay off employees, not only Phoenix Sales in Hong Kong does not lay off employees, but Lu Shaohua does not plan to lay off any employees of Hong Kong Phoenix Group.

However, that was only Lu Shaohua's preliminary idea, as for whether to do it according to Lu Shaohua's idea in the end, it still needs to wait until Lu Shaohua and Qin Sichen discuss it before it can be really determined.

Seeing that time passed day by day, Lu Shaohua also became anxious, no, on this day, Lu Shaohua found Qin Sichen and put the question about the layoffs of the Phoenix Group in Hong Kong away, and let Qin Sichen also have an idea.

At the same time, Lu Shaohua also told Qin Sichen his thoughts, and finally looked at Qin Sichen and listened to her thoughts.

Qin Sichen did not disappoint Lu Shaohua, and after thinking for a while, he said. "Our group has the current scale, there are today's achievements, it is inseparable from the efforts and hard work of the following people, if layoffs, maybe some people can understand, but it will always chill people's hearts."

No, after a pause for a few seconds, Qin Sichen didn't wait for Lu Shaohua to interject, and continued. "Moreover, the employees of the Phoenix Group in Hong Kong are all the elites of the elite, but in the whole of Hong Kong, most of the elites have gathered in our group, if we lay off employees, those employees will all be dispersed, even if we recruit again in the future, there are many people who are unwilling to come, if that is the case, there is no doubt that it is the continuous loss of talents."

Qin Sichen said a lot in one breath, but there was only one purpose, that is, not to lay off employees, not to lay off anyone, even the most ordinary and ordinary employees, and not to lay off.

Qin Sichen's thoughts are no different from Lu Shaohua's, they both advocate not laying off employees, as for the two reasons Qin Sichen said, they also coincide with Lu Shaohua, from this point of view, Lu Shaohua's thoughts are right.

Since it was right, Lu Shaohua hesitated about something, and finally decided.

However, before that, Lu Shaohua must introduce some measures, such as the treatment of the group's employees, in normal times, the employees of the Phoenix Group get more commissions at the end of the year than their salaries, but once the financial turmoil comes, then their commissions are bound to decrease, will this make those employees who are used to taking more money uncomfortable?

To get vaccinated, Lu Shaohua must be vaccinated, otherwise, some employees may leave Phoenix Group.

With this idea, Lu Shaohua naturally wanted to put it forward, let Qin Sichen implement it, hold a working meeting, explain something to the employees below, and do his best to retain those employees.

Of course, this meeting cannot be convened now, and must wait until the financial crisis really breaks out, so that the time is really ripe.

Qin Sichen also understands the importance of seizing the opportunity, so there is no need for Lu Shaohua to say more, Qin Sichen said it in advance.

"Okay, the affairs of the group will be handed over to you, and it will be impossible for me to participate in the affairs of the group in the future." Lu Shaohua said solemnly.

Yes, next, it is impossible for Lu Shaohua to participate in the affairs of the group, it is not that Lu Shaohua does not want to participate, but Lu Shaohua has more important things to do, and he has no energy to come over and participate in the affairs of the group.
