Shen Yiyi looked at Xu Jie's smiling expression, and somehow there was a little drumming in his heart. In fact, from her previous life to this life, she is not very good at dealing with women.

In his previous life, because of his profession, he was basically mixed with men, especially those otaku engineers around him, and the figure of female compatriots can be described as rare. So after working for so many years, she basically has no chance to get along with women.

In this life, because of a series of reasons such as changing schools, skipping grades, and choosing a department, there are still very few female members around her, so there is also no opportunity to deal with them. Counting on the fingers, in addition to some little sisters I made when I was in Shenyang, other female friends are Luo Yufeng and Zhu Eva.

As for the three roommates he met while staying at Tsinghua University, Shen Yiyi offended one by one, and the other two cannot be regarded as close friends. That is the relationship between ordinary classmates.

It's not that Shen Yiyi doesn't get along well with girls, it's just that compared to boys, Shen Yiyi has a weaker grasp of getting along with girls. In fact, in addition to the ability to deal with interpersonal relationships, it still depends on the experience of making friends. Obviously, because Shen Yiyi lacks experience in this area, he is a little worried about his interaction with strange women, so he is a little maladapted. What's more, Shen Yiyi also knew in his heart that in Xu Jie's heart, there was still a little bit of hostility towards himself.

However, since they have already arrived here today, and more importantly, since they have already sold Wang Kai's face and agreed to Xu Jie's appointment, then he must establish a normal relationship with Xu Jie's superiors and subordinates as soon as possible. After all, as a funder, Shen Yiyi still has the power to ask Xu Jie to leave at any time if she is not satisfied, so she doesn't have to worry too much about getting along with Xu Jie, right? Since she had chosen to believe in Xu Jie's professionalism during the interview, let her prove it to herself from now on.

Shen Yiyi quickly calmed down his mind. She sat on the sofa that Xu Jie pointed out to her, and leaned up very relaxed on the backrest. It's just that today's position is just a little bit lower than that day when he was interviewing Xu Kai. At that time, the sitting method was that Shen Yiyi and Wang Kai sat in the main seat, while Xu Jie's seat was the guest seat. But today, according to Xu Jie's arrangement, Shen Yiyi sat in the guest seat one by one. Of course, Xu Jie himself sat on the main seat.

Xu Jie found that Shen Yiyi was a little flustered at first, but quickly regained his composure. Even if she deliberately arranged each other's sitting positions, Shen Yiyi was able to quickly suggest to herself in a more relaxed sitting position that she had discovered her own trick and responded positively with confidence.

Shen Yiyi had a smile on his face and said to Xu Jie, "Okay." Sister Xu, since you are so cool, then I will not be polite to you. Because I know that excessive politeness is actually disrespectful to your professionalism. So I'm going to give you a little bit of what I want from you at this stage, don't you mind? ”

Xu Jie was actually ready to face the pressure that might be exerted on him when he heard the news of Shen Yiyi's visit. This has nothing to do with Shen Yiyi's personal perception of himself. To put it bluntly, this decision is based on the different positions of the two. Today is not Shen Yiyi, but any one person is changed, as long as he is the investor, there will definitely be a game between the investor and the manager.

Xu Jie is not the first time to be a manager, so she knows that after a new general manager takes office, in the normal process of corporate governance, there will definitely be a struggle between the board of directors and the general manager. Such a struggle will run through the whole process of the general manager's tenure, and the final agreement is usually reached in the mutual victory and defeat. Sometimes, of course, there are struggles that escalate to the point where they can't bridge the differences, which in turn affects the company's operations. In this case, the board of directors would have dismissed the general manager.

Therefore, Xu Jie began to think that Shen Yiyi should have come to simply talk to herself about some of her own broad requirements, and more importantly, to declare her own power over the company to herself. When the directors of each company come to the company, they do the same thing with the new managers of the company. Xu Jie is very experienced in this. Because as long as Shen Yiyi's request is broad, unspecific and unclear, her way of responding must also be broad, unspecific and unclear. And such requests and responses do not solve any problems. It's more likely that the words are just rhetoric and then each saying its own thing. And each other retains their own operating space in the process.

But what Xu Jie didn't expect was that Shen Yiyi didn't come to make that kind of broad, unspecific and unclear request to her today. On the contrary, Shen Yiyi's requirements will be clear and specific, and she will either do it obediently, or face a direct collision. And if a manager clearly wants to work against the directors as soon as she takes office, then she is not far from leaving.

"Mr. Xu, I think I'll call you like this next. You succeeded Wang Kai as the general manager of the company. That's why I'm going to call you directly and naturally. Of course, you can also call me Shen Dong. I think when talking about work, it's better to do business and not introduce private names. Is that right? ”

Without waiting for Xu Jie's response, Shen Yiyi continued: "Regarding the company's business policy, in addition to the business mission that all companies have, I don't know if Wang Kai clearly explained it to you when he contacted you before. However, I would like to reiterate to you that the purpose of this company is to generate sufficient profits to support the development of the strategic research projects that I have identified through the operation of some of the star products that have been developed before. In addition to being a funder or controlling shareholder of the company, I also served as the company's chief strategy officer. I will identify the key issues that the company needs to focus on at different stages. What I need you to do is the same as what Wang Kai did before, which is to fully support the scientific research projects I have selected, and at the same time implement the investment in the selected projects, coordinate the research management and progress review of these projects, and so on. It can be said that our company was created for the existence of these strategic projects. This original intention, I need you to take over the management of the company, also not give up. “

Xu Jie listened to Shen Yiyi's words and these requests, and his face showed a look of embarrassment and some dissatisfaction. She looked up at Shen Yiyi and said, "Shen Dong, I agree with your arrangement of the two of us in the discussion of work affairs. Actually, how to call it is a small problem, but the distribution of functions between the board of directors and management is the big problem, isn't it? I think the main reason why Wang Kai and you decided to hire external managers at that time was to make the company's governance more professional and standardized, right? That's why the company will transition from the situation where the two of you have the final say in the past, to the mode of professional managers in the future. And now these requirements you have made to me mean that you do not give the manager any space, and it is completely up to you to decide? Such an arrangement is not a modern enterprise system at all. “

Shen Yiyi shook his head one by one, expressing his disagreement with Xu Jie's statement. In fact, she thought that Xu Jie's emotions were a little emotional when she said the above words, and it was not ruled out that her performance element was added to it. She knew that these people from the United States would take some lessons from Hollywood movies when they were in the United States, and they would use exaggerated acting skills to gain an advantage against the owners of the company. She believed that Xu Jie had also learned these skills. "Mr. Xu, I think you have a question that you have made a mistake. I don't know if you did it on purpose, or if you didn't figure it out at all. If it's the former, I think you should be honest with me and don't use any excessive acting skills. If it's the latter, I think I'll tell you I'll be disappointed in your professionalism. Shen Yiyi said frankly to Xu Jie.

After listening to Shen Yiyi's words, Xu Jie didn't know how to answer for a while. She didn't expect that her previous performance would be seen through by Shen Yiyi all of a sudden. This is not scientific! Isn't this little girl who has never been abroad before, but who can study a little? How can she even find out about the bluffing she uses when she bluffs?

Xu Jie thought about it, in this case, it might be better for him to be silent for the time being. So she waited quietly for Shen Yiyi to speak further.

Shen Yiyi continued without a pause: "You must be very clear that in any company, of course, it is necessary to talk about modern enterprise management, but the object of enterprise management services is the owner of an enterprise like ours, or the board of directors of the enterprise. The high salaries paid by the board of directors are actually buying your services. It's hard to imagine that you would claim that management could not listen to the board. I know that even in the U.S., the board of directors doesn't delegate all the power to management. It is the natural power of the board of directors to set the main direction of corporate governance. ”

Xu Jie knew that Shen Yiyi was telling the truth. How can the investors of the company, as the party who invests their own property in the operation of the company, have no restraint on the management personnel? They certainly want to ensure that the company's management faithfully fulfills its responsibilities of stewardship and management of the company and does not put their own investments at risk. And in order to ensure such a result, of course, we cannot simply rely on the self-moral consciousness of the company's management, but more importantly, on their supervision. Stipulating what management can and can't do is part of the board's supervisory power over management.

However, no one wants to be a Sun Xing who has been put under a tight spell. The company's management also does not want its management authority to be restricted. Therefore, Xu Jie, when Shen Yiyi had already discovered her careful thoughts, still wanted to fight for more freedom for herself.

She looked into Shen Yiyi's eyes and said to Shen Yiyi: "That's right, the board of directors has the power that the board of directors should have. But the power of the board of directors cannot be expanded indefinitely. Otherwise, why wouldn't the board of directors run the business on its own? Since the board of directors has hired professional managers, it is necessary to trust professional managers and give them the power they deserve. Otherwise, what can we talk about changing the business model of the enterprise? ”

Shen Yiyi smiled. She noticed that Xu Jie's tone had softened. This shows that what she said just now has made Xu Jie realize that although she is young, she is not as easy to deceive as she imagined. Who said that the level of intellectuals is high? Intellectuals can deceive people too. As long as you lack knowledge or common sense in a certain area, then others will also want to lie to you. Therefore, people should strive to improve their knowledge level in any situation. I know it.

"Mr. Xu. Please don't take it out of context. You can't make big news with me. You are well aware that as the general manager of the company, of course you have your own powers. But your authority comes from the company's funders, which are the authority of our Board of Directors. And hiring you as the general manager of the company is also based on trust in you. The reason for changing the business model is to trust you professional managers in dealing with some of the problems that companies often encounter, not to say that the board of directors does not care about the operation of the business at all. In addition to giving professional managers the company's business goals and directions, the board of directors has actually given the management enough freedom. For example, the management can also propose the direction of development they want to pursue and report to the board of directors. As long as the company's articles of association are complied with, the management's right to make recommendations is guaranteed. However, the decision power of the board of directors is also very important. You know. ”

Xu Jie heard Shen Yiyi's firm will from Shen Yiyi's words, and at the same time understood that he couldn't deceive this little girl in this matter. I don't know if Wang Kai's help to Shen Yiyi was too thorough before, resulting in the fact that he can't take advantage of this little girl at all now.

Since you can't achieve your original goal, you should faithfully play the role of a professional manager.

Xu Jie nodded to Shen Yiyi: "Okay." I know. Shen Dong's instructions are clear to me. But can you send me your instructions in writing? In this way, our management can also have an input basis for the work to be carried out. For example, if you send a letter from the board of directors, we can do it. ”

Shen Yiyi shook his head. This Xu Jie is still embarrassing himself. The set she asked for sounded very reasonable, that there should be a letter from a board of directors, but in fact the board of directors of the company was never formed. Because the owners of the company are herself and Wang Kai. What did the two of them do before they met, and where did they need a board? (To be continued.) )
