Chapter 19: Reflections on Life
Qin Ran found that his expected life at the University had not appeared, and he seemed to have become busier. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
First of all, as a student, he needs to sign in to class on time, and although he has taken a lot of leave for various reasons, he has already been counted as absent from class in the eyes of some teachers. Secondly, as Wu Yongwen's part-time assistant, Qin Ran's excellent performance made Professor Wu often call him to help. Again, as the squad leader, he also needs to organize class activities, which is still under the premise that Wang Yaxuan, the secretary of the Youth League, took the initiative to share most of the work for him. Finally, sitting in the position of the head of a company with assets of more than 20 billion, he is constantly thinking about the future of the company and dealing with various documents that need his signature and approval. What is especially troublesome is that the company's headquarters is in Jiangzhou, and Qin Ran has become a trapeze artist, and he needs to rush from Tianjing to Jiangzhou to deal with official business almost every week.
With the expansion of the company's scale, especially the butterfly effect, the world has become more and more out of the orbit of Qin Ran's cognition, and he needs to stand on the same starting line with the world's most outstanding talents to face the competition.
In the future, the Cantonese real estate developers who occupy most of the real estate rivers and lakes began to march north to the whole country is a clear signal, the success of the rapid expansion of Jiangnan real estate in the past two years has attracted many learners, although Qin Ran has taken the lead to a certain extent, but no longer grasp the anxiety of tomorrow began to fill his heart.
In the three years since the establishment of the company, the annual doubling growth has indeed made me proud for a while, and even once had the idea of despising the heroes of the world. But if you put aside the advantage of being reborn with the memories of your past life, can you still fight with those big names who have fought a bloody path from the blood of the business world? If others also start to copy the successful model of Jiangnan Group, and take advantage of the fierce struggle to grow in the golden decade of China's real estate, ten years later, they can still be as proud of the real estate rivers and lakes as they are now?
When the company was founded three years ago, he dared to fight hard, barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, although he shouted that he wanted to become the best real estate developer in China, Qin Ran recalled that he was actually a small peasant in his bones, and his biggest purpose was to earn a lot of money enough to get away with himself. Now that the scale of the company has reached a higher level, Qin Ran finds that he is no longer satisfied with the desire for money, money has begun to be just a string of numbers for him, and he needs more of a kind of identity, a recognition of becoming the best real estate tycoon, and a sense of mission to lead his various characters to achieve the goal of the best real estate company.
Is this an ideal, a responsibility, or a metamorphosis?
If Qin Ran was still a little person who used his prophetic preconception to ascend to the throne by disgraceful means before, now he gradually faded away from impetuousness and began to think about how to be down-to-earth to realize the ideals that had just sprouted from the depths of his heart.
People's luck is not always good, and we are no exception.
If the state announces the start of macroeconomic regulation of the real estate market from tomorrow, then the Jiangnan Group will inevitably collapse overnight.
Qin Ran was convinced of this.
It is time to make a trade-off, and it is also time to loosen the tight clockwork for yourself, and think about how you and the company's future should go.
Whether it's yourself or the company, there are already too many inventories in your stomach, and you should find time to digest them one by one.
At the beginning, he swore that he would serve everyone and run for the position of class president, but Qin Ran planned to resign from his post next semester. Taking the lead in skipping class, not organizing activities, and often seeing the dragon without seeing the end is really not the leading role that a squad leader should play. Class 11 originally had a strong class cohesion, but there are signs of dispersion at present, and Qin Ran is really duty-bound.
Qin Ran, the right-hand man of Professor Wu Yongwen, a well-known scholar, also plans to ask his tutor for leave because of his busy schoolwork, and inform the other party of his intention after completing the report at hand. Although I imagined it very good before, and it really felt good to be able to work with my mentor again, the slightly repetitive and boring trivial work was really not the best choice for Qin Ran at the moment when he was pressed for time. Perhaps, this is what the ancients said that the sea was once difficult to water, and it is better to keep some good memories in your heart.
At the company level, before the opening of the first Jiangnan Plaza on May Day next year, Qin Ran plans to temporarily stop expanding, use half a year to digest the stock, no longer take land everywhere, and focus on the company's internal management. Tianjing, as well as the two high-rise urban landmarks in Hudong City and the corresponding urban complexes, are the key projects to be implemented and strengthened in this half year. As for the residential branch, a large amount of land has been purchased in the early stage, which is enough to cope with the development volume in the next six months. They will develop the corresponding plots according to the previously predetermined plan and become the cash cows of the group. According to Qin Ran's speculation, the first wave of China's real estate market caused by the housing loan provident fund has passed, and the daily and monthly discs will temporarily become history. The speed at which real estate companies can withdraw funds will begin to slow down, and the time is coming for companies to compete with each other for internal strength. As for the original plan to expand southward after the year, it also cooled down, and Qin Ran did not intend to enter the base camp of Yuepai real estate to compete directly with them without being prepared.
Although Jiangnan Group vigorously promotes electronic office within the group, it is impossible for Qin Ran to manage the entire company with a laptop. Now all the data aggregation operation platforms are located in the group headquarters in Jiangzhou City, which is one of the reasons why Qin Ran flies to Jiangzhou every week. According to Qin Ran's office system 2.0 plan, each project must be covered by cameras, and the headquarters can deploy any camera at will to observe the progress and situation of projects in various places simultaneously. He decided to use the 2.0 system upgrade plan to create a management center like a modern multi-screen interactive military command room, where the future central hub of the group will be located. At that time, he can use the network to directly listen to the reports of the front-line managers on the site, and can also check the progress of the project across the country at any time.
Within half a year of the company's stop expanding, Qin Ran decided to take charge of the implementation and update of the company's office 2.0 system by himself. He has already come up with the idea of acquiring the equity of the IT company that is currently cooperating with him to develop the 1.0 system, and if the other party is unwilling, then simply set up a new information department to be responsible for the transformation and upgrading.
In the future, the new group headquarters will be located in Tianjing, and this new information command center will also be located here, and an office building in Tianjing's first Jiangnan Plaza has been booked as the future group headquarters. But at present, the most important thing is to clone the information center in Jiangzhou to Tianjing, so as to avoid the suffering of Qin Ran from most of China.
With a decision in his heart, Qin Ran summoned the heads of various departments of the group and the managers of the branch to the Jiangzhou headquarters and held a plenary meeting.
When Qin Ran put forward the idea of stopping expansion, digesting stocks, and upgrading management, he unexpectedly did not encounter too much resistance, and the company's expansion was too fast and achieved too many results, which also made internal sober people such as Vice President Liu Xufeng, Sun Jingui, etc., vigilant, they have rich management experience in large international companies, especially human and financial resources, and know how tight the company's clockwork is now, so they are the first to come out to support Qin Ran's decision.
As for most people, they have long been accustomed to Qin Ran controlling the direction and beat of the company, and they can do whatever the boss tells them to do, they haven't thought too much.
Guo Huiming, the vice president in charge of commercial real estate, has already been busy with several major projects in his hands, especially the first Jiangnan Plaza is about to open in half a year, and he has no motivation to open up new battlefields. On the contrary, Zhou Zhidong of residential real estate has some objections, he proposed that the residential aspect is still a benign development, of course, this is for commercial real estate, he proposed to agree with the group not to expand aggressively, but it is not advisable to blindly shrink, especially the residential market good land can not be found, there is a good land transfer or hope to be able to support the take. For example, Hudong City will launch new land after the year, and according to the economic situation of Hudong, he still recommends eating good land. For plots with high premiums and outstanding cost performance, he proposed to take them.
According to the group's division of labor, Qin Ran is responsible for taking the land, and the policy of not expanding for half a year is basically unified to everyone, but Zhou Zhidong's suggestion is also reasonable. Qin Ran thought about it for a while, agreed to Zhou Zhidong's request, and was allowed to take additional land when he encountered cost-effective land in the residential market. However, in terms of the total amount of funds, Qin Ran made a limit of 600 million yuan, and he was not allowed to break this figure within half a year, which can be regarded as a compromise.
In order to reduce the burden of work, Qin Ran began to decentralize the authority for the approval of internal funds, but the approval of the amount below 1 million yuan can be reached the level of vice president, and there is no need to sign and approve it through his own signature. This alone is estimated to save him 30% of his energy, and it is impossible for Qin Ran to make the company bigger and see everything one by one. At the same time, in order to support this decentralization, Qin Ran will set up a new audit department within the group, report directly to him, and he will directly manage the audit and anti-fraud investigation of the company's internal projects. The company is so big, with an annual turnover of tens of billions and a large number of personnel, it is impossible not to have problems, and the only thing to grasp is to plug the loopholes and not give people with ulterior motives the opportunity to reach out. Once the act of embezzlement of the company's interests is discovered, in addition to the internal handling of the responsible person, it will also be transferred to the judicial organ for handling in accordance with the law.
In response to Qin Ran's proposal to set up a company information department and increase investment, many people here raised doubts. The current office system has just been running for a short time, and the effect is okay, so why upgrade the system immediately. Even if you upgrade the system, you can continue to cooperate with outsourcing companies, and you don't need to build a team to raise a large group of information technology personnel, after all, we are a real estate development company, not an electronic information company.
Ordinary employees should see the things of the day, the technical backbone should see the things of tomorrow, the branch manager should see the things in a week, the higher-level group vice president should focus on the things in a month, and the group president should think about the things at least a year later!
The future is the information society, and information is one step ahead of others is productivity and core competitiveness. With the development and growth of the company, it is easy to suffer from gigantism and large company disease, and the information system is to upgrade the nervous system of the body, broaden and refine the nerve circuits, and effectively maintain the vitality of the company.
Maybe in the future, the real estate market will be saturated, and all of us here will not do real estate, but will be able to keep up with the times and become employees of high-tech information companies.
Qin Ran's words are both humorous and irresistible compulsive, no matter what, the establishment of the Ministry of Information will be planned together with the Audit Department, and it will be published soon.
There is also a new department created, which is the Real Estate Policy Institute. It will be affiliated with the Strategic Development Sector and will be an independent research unit. They will be responsible for studying the country's macro policies, making judgments on the real estate market trends in the next year or years, and providing reference for the group's high-level decision-making. This is a department that Qin Ran has specially configured for himself, and he needs more data and suggestions to judge the direction of the domestic economy, because the future has changed, and he will stand on the same starting line as the world's top talents. Another indescribable function of the research institute is to collect information on competitors and study and judge the real estate companies that can pose a threat to Jiangnan Group, which will be the focus of Qin Ran's prevention and research in the future.
It is rare for the executives to gather together, and Qin Ran put forward the plan of Vice President Liu Xufeng to set up a company training academy. Now Jiangnan Group is constantly developing, every year new management trainees, new job-hopping employees, highly professional property management and hotel industry employees need induction training, plus middle and senior managers also need regular systematic training and exchanges, so the formation of a group's own training base is an excellent choice. People are the most valuable asset, Qin Ran knows that in order for the company to maintain its competitiveness, the knowledge update of employees is a major key, and agrees with the proposal to set up a training academy in principle. The establishment of a training academy is a future-oriented initiative that requires a large investment in the short term and will be effective in the long term.
Jiangnan College, which is the name of the new company's internal training base, will become one of the centers for elite gathering and exchange within Jiangnan Group in the future.
After clarifying the difficulties, unifying his thoughts, and pointing out the direction, Qin Ran temporarily made a simple adjustment to his life through phased reflection, unloaded his burden and moved forward lightly. (To be continued.) )
