Ling Shizhe is destined to be in vain, there are some people you don't give him a chance, he can create a chance to succeed, and some people you put the opportunity in front of him, he won't seize it.

After Ling Shirong talked to Ling Shizhe that day, there was no movement for more than a month, no announcement of the cancellation of the theater base fee, no renovation of the theater, and no acquisition of the Chinatown theater chain.

At first, Ling Shizhe thought that Ling Shirong had his own plans and arrangements, but he didn't know that it was bad until April when Ling Shirong asked his subordinates to return the cash check for $500 million to him.

I sent someone to inquire and found out that Ling Shirong was currently in active contact with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, preparing to sell the theater chain, and then go to Switzerland with his wife to retire.

Listening to the news brought back by his subordinates, Ling Shizhe didn't speak for a long time, and finally said: "Contact my second brother for me, and just say that I bought the theater." ”

After the secretary went out, Ling Shizhe came to the window and looked at the bustling streets outside, and said to himself: "Adou, who can't be helped." ”

He really couldn't say anything to Ling Shirong, Run Run Shaw did not lose his ambition to start a business in his fifties, and he also wanted to retire in his fifties.

Ling Shirong quickly rushed over after receiving Ling Shizhe's notice to buy a theater, sat on the sofa in the office and said straight to the point: "Lao Qi, do you really want to buy my theater?" ”

Ling Shizhe nodded and replied, "Yes, I bought it and you can make a price." ”

"Why, you must know that you don't understand the film industry, and you are not afraid of losing money when you buy it?"

"I don't understand the film industry, but your subordinates do, you sold the theater chain, I'm afraid that your gang won't be tolerated by the new master, right?"

"I'll arrange them."

Ling Shizhe took a puff of cigarette, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't pull the calves for me, you are going to retire for the elderly, how do you arrange them?" Don't mess around there. Will Run Shaw arrange them, will Wrinkle Huai arrange them? It's just going to tell them to leave, and they don't go, don't worry? Only I will arrange them well, those people are all working for the Ling family, I took over them or work for the Ling family, as long as they do it well for me, I will not treat them badly. Let's not talk nonsense, how much do you plan to sell for Asian cinemas? ”

"You take all the billion Hong Kong dollars."

"I want it." Ling Shizhe did not bargain and asked the legal department to draft a contract, and the deal was preliminarily reached.

"May I ask, how much did Run Run Shaw pay for your cinema?"

"600 million Hong Kong dollars."

"He's really picky, the Asian cinema chain is one billion Hong Kong dollars reasonable, by the way, does your cinema chain have foreign debts?"

"The foreign debt of 300 million Hong Kong dollars owed to HSBC is that it is this foreign debt that Run Run Shaw has pushed my price hard."

"Now you don't have to worry about it, I'll pay the debt you owe. Say hello to your people, and I'll have the finance department go to your company tomorrow to review theatrical assets. ”

"Okay, can you tell me how you're going to arrange them?"

"It's very simple, I will arrange for someone from my company to take over, and I will not move to keep it as it is for the time being, but I will give them a one-year inspection period, and I will let them go after one year if they are not qualified, and I will stay if I am satisfied. By the way, who is the CEO of Asia Cinemas, ask him to come and talk to me tomorrow. ”

“CEO？”

Ling Shizhe remembered that in addition to his company, no company in this era has implemented the CEO system, and the CEO company system was implemented in the nineties in history, and then changed his words and said: "Oh, I forgot that you didn't implement the CEO system, so who is the general manager of the cinema chain?" ”

Ling Shirong replied: "I established the Asian Cinema Line, and of course I am the general manager." ”

"You are the general manager, but you can't be in charge of everything, who is responsible for administration and daily management?" Ling Shizhe felt that the second brother's cinema chain had some problems in the management structure, and a well-managed business owner generally did not serve as the general manager, but would hire a professional manager from the outside to be responsible for the company's administration and daily management affairs, and he could grasp the final decision and the general direction of the company's development.

If you are not at ease with professional managers, you should separate the administration from the day-to-day, one as the administrative manager and the other as the managing manager, but never as the general manager yourself, because then the company's institutional structure will be chaotic.

Under normal circumstances, a normal corporate structure is the separation of the following three powers of the boss: CEO (responsible for the company's administration and daily work), personnel manager, and financial director are the three giants of a company, each of which is in charge of a piece, with clear responsibilities, equal positions and mutual supervision, and the next is the manager of the warehouse department and the manager of the purchasing department and the manager of the logistics department, these three positions are generally appointed by the boss, and are responsible for the CEO, and the CEO will not fight with the boss under normal circumstances, but the CEO has the right to suggest and supervise. If he is not qualified, he will appeal to his boss and propose a new candidate at the same time.

The CEO management system of the modern company in later generations is a very advanced and reasonable management system, which not only facilitates the management of the company by the boss and the board of directors, but also maximizes the cost and efficiency of the company's management, which is somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese system of three provinces and six ministries, and the CEO is the prime minister of the company.

The biggest advantage of this is that the company can't mess up, and at the same time, it allows the boss to control the company to the greatest extent in the easiest way, avoiding the danger of being overturned by professional managers. You must know that there are a lot of professional managers who violate the boss, once the company is overridden by the professional manager, because the professional manager will empty all the company's resources, when all the company's resources are dug up, the professional manager gives the boss a letter of resignation and leaves, then the boss will find that the company has been operating for so many years, not only did not make money but also owed a butt of foreign debts, all the company's things include plants, equipment, personnel, office equipment, Even the company's headquarters building is no longer its own.

This kind of thing is not a few, there are many promising companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan that have finished playing like this, don't believe in the ethics of professional managers, this thing is simply nonsense, everything is fake in the face of economic utilization, professional manager ethics is just a piece of paper, money is the most real. People are just outsiders, why do they honestly work with you? You are comfortable being the boss and making a lot of money, why do I have to make such a little hard money? Don't talk about outsiders, even relatives calculate each other, those family businesses, there are fewer things for relatives to pry each other's corners?

Officially, because there are too many such things, many entrepreneurs in Hong Kong and Taiwan/Bay are hands-on and bosses and employees, and even cronyism puts their relatives in important positions in the company, why? It's not because professional managers are unreliable.

Ling Shirong's management of Asian cinemas is the family management model, this model is the mainstream model of Asian enterprises, the advantage of this model is that the enterprise will not get out of control, always in their own hands, the disadvantage is that it is difficult for the enterprise to develop and grow, and the cost is very high, even if it develops, the company's internal friction cost will be quite terrifying, and the company's boss will be tired.

Ling Shizhe's company is different from Hong Kong and Asian companies, and it is also different from the management model of all current European and American companies, and it is also quite different from the management model of European and American CEOs in later generations.

This model belongs to the system management model, and the family management model belongs to the human governance model.

Ling Shizhe did not stay in Western companies in his previous life, only stayed in Chinese companies, especially in state-owned enterprises for more than ten years, and stayed in private enterprises for many years, he knows very well that kind of management model is the most suitable for China, although the management model of Western enterprises is advanced, but it is not suitable for China, copying it will only make itself suffer a big loss, and the family business management model is not a long-term way, so since the establishment of Ambrera company, he has used the management structure of most of China's large international enterprises in later generations, the management model of separation of powers, The CEO system, financial system, and personnel system are all separated, and the CEO is directly responsible to the boss, and his position is slightly higher than the two, but the latter two are not responsible for the CEO, only responsible for Ling Shizhe, and the three parties supervise each other.

In order to prevent them from colluding, Ling Shizhe introduced an external financial management system and an external personnel management system, and many of the company's financial and personnel business were outsourced to professional financial firms and personnel firms. The biggest advantage of this is that the company's management is formalized, institutionalized, scientific and mutual supervision, and all the people in the company, including the CEO, are just workers under the company system, and there is no need to worry that they will put the boss in the air, the boss is like a high emperor in power, and it is easy and convenient to manage.

There is a problem with the management model of the Asian cinema line, it seems that a major operation must be carried out, and the management must be thoroughly cleaned, but anyway, the Asian cinema line currently has no film to put on, and the cinema line must be completely transformed, so simply close the Asian cinema line temporarily for transformation, take advantage of this time to carry out a major purge of the management, and the management model will be readjusted, and it is not too late to do a good job and then open for business.

Ling Shirong didn't know that Ling Shizhe overturned all what he had just said in just a moment, and wanted to carry out a major purge of the Asian cinema chain, thinking that he wanted a reliable person to help him manage the cinema chain, and said dutifully: "The daily affairs and administrative management of the cinema chain are managed by my wife and Chen Bosen, after the cinema line is sold to you, my wife and I will go to Switzerland to retire, Chen Bosen is a good person with strong ability, and he has been working hard with me for more than 20 years, and he has rich experience, you can use him, In addition, the personnel manager Ma Zhaoqin is also a good candidate, and you can use these two people with confidence. ”

Ling Shizhe took out a pen and recorded the names and positions of the two on his work notes, and said, "Okay, second brother, call these two people over to meet me tomorrow." ”
