602. Separation of powers

This group of expert advisors specially invited at a large price is still a bit genuine, and it was Li Yifan's first thought after hearing his father talk about their opinions.

At present, most of the companies on Shijie started from a family when they started, and when they grow to a certain extent, they will face various problems.

Especially after the rapid expansion of the family business, and involved in a number of different business areas, it will encounter a lot of problems, after all, not everyone is a genius of management, and when the owner of the business grows to a certain extent, it often faces a lot of new problems, and the impact of new areas, how to deal with such a problem, it has become a problem.

In the early stage of the growth of family-style enterprises, most of them are based on a pyramid-shaped structure, which is the so-called centralized model, with the parents as the leader, and then the backbone of the family is assigned to the family industry in different fields and industries to manage, but when the business is getting bigger and bigger, it often faces limited personal ability and vision, which limits the development of the enterprise.

And on the other hand, such a pyramid-shaped management, often make too much mountainism within the enterprise, after the boss of the division of power, the small boss will continue to cultivate their own cronies, their own management of the business infiltration, which will cause too many redundant personnel, too many management layers, resulting in a decline in the efficiency of the enterprise, management chaos, and even infighting.

Most of these may seem like isolated incidents, but when they are linked together, they can often have a fatal impact on a family business.

This is also the same as so many large conglomerates in the United States later. The main reason for the adoption of the shareholding system. Through the change of shares. Constantly innovate and bring fresh blood from outside the family to participate in the management, so as to maintain the vitality of the group.

However, in the Celestial Empire, such a model is not necessarily suitable, especially for a family business like Li Yifan's family, which has just been established and is in a period of vigorous development.

What's more, even now, their family business has faced a variety of talent shortages, and they urgently need to find a suitable way to change this situation.

Now the Li family is involved in too many industries. Their family now has a Zhengyang Hotel, a hot spring ski resort under construction in Lianhua Township, a blueberry planting base in Mancheng Township, a Phoenix Winery, a Shuguang Construction Company, a dairy factory, a printing factory, and a mother and child chain store, plus a breeding base in Luoniu Town, and a seafood breeding base in Yingcheng. and the newly opened hot pot chain, as well as the ranch on the Canadian side. In total, they have been involved in more than a dozen industries.

Although the current business conditions of these enterprises seem to be not bad, once the domestic economic development encounters problems, the hard development of these industries will encounter problems.

Therefore, it is the most appropriate time to integrate the resources of these enterprises and form a more modern management model.

The so-called flat management proposed by the Belgian expert consultants is the most suitable option for this family business at the moment.

The so-called flat management is actually to squeeze the pyramid-shaped structure of the family business as much as possible in a flat direction, to put it bluntly, as much as possible, to decentralize the power as much as possible, and divide different industries into a department for management, and then these managers report directly to the leaders at the top of the pyramid.

Reducing intermediate links as much as possible and reducing administrative management costs is actually the most preferred management mode for modern large multinational enterprises.

This management model arose in the United States, and it can even be said that it arose at the hands of a legendary operator, and this legendary operator was the revived General Electric's Jack. Welch!

Jack. When Welch accepted GE in 1981, GE was in a twilight trough, in the outside world they were constantly facing the encirclement and suppression of the younger generations of Japan's emerging electronics manufacturing industry, constantly losing their territory, and internally because of the management chaos, the old leadership style had blocked the upward channel, and many employees felt that GE had no future and could not choose to leave.

It's in this dilemma, Jack. Welch carried out a drastic reform of GE's management model, on the one hand, he integrated the company's internal resources, and on the other hand, he vigorously eliminated some useless middle managers, as much as possible to reduce administrative costs.

At the same time, he also vigorously cultivates young people, as far as possible to break the company's inherent family-style talent training model, boldly enable new people, and open up the channel for young people to be promoted.

It is under this management model that under his leadership, GE has rapidly rebounded, and in 20 years, it has grown from a company with assets of only $13 billion to a behemoth with a market value of $480 billion, becoming the most profitable and the second largest among listed companies in the United States.

And he himself is a legend, the most respected CEO, and the world's No. 1 CEO, stepping down from the position of president of GE in 2001.

Although this business master is still alive, his experience has been regarded as a genius by many people, and the flat management model he promoted has become the best business model recommended by many economic management scholars.

At this time, in the family business, the introduction of such a management model is definitely a very good way for Li Yifan, who has always wanted to make his family industry bigger and stronger.

If you want to build a high-rise building, then you must lay a good foundation, and if you want to make the company bigger and stronger, then you must have very haode rules and regulations.

Li Yifan roughly explained the so-called flat management model to Li Liqiang, and after Li Liqiang listened, he also nodded frequently, especially after hearing from Li Yifan that this management model is the most advanced management model on Shijie at present, he also suddenly had an eye-opening feeling.

"Dad, our family's industry is currently a lot, but at first glance, it seems very complex, many industries, we are flawless and meticulous to take care of, such as the cattle farm in Naluo Niu Town, how long have you not been there?"

As soon as Li Yifan said this, Li Liqiang was a rare old blush, and now that his business has become bigger, he really can't look down on such an industry.

In addition, because the scale of the cattle farm has not been very large, he even felt that he didn't need to spend too much effort to take care of it.

"Dad, now all our industries are in a period of rapid rise, that is because we have caught up with a good time, to put it bluntly, the domestic consumer market is in a period of rapid expansion, but the market is expanding also has a limit, and there will always be some competitors, once our rising momentum stagnates, what should we do? At that time, these originally very haode industries will become tasteless and discarded, so if we want our industries to survive for a long time, then we must work management now, and set up haode rules and regulations to maintain healthy development. If we can't care about it ourselves, then invite experts and knowledgeable people to come and help manage it. ”

After Li Liqiang heard Li Yifan's words, he couldn't help but hesitate a little.

"But if you really hire an outsider, you also know the character of our countrymen, after all, you still don't feel at ease!"

"Hehe, what's not to worry about, high salary, sign the contract in black and white, and then send a few supervisors, mainly to grasp the financial power, and then they can still make waves?"

Li Yifan sneered and then said, he is indeed in charge of a company, after all, he is not in charge of a country, and he does not need to be too entangled in personnel appointments and dismissals.

As long as you have the ability, you will be on it, even if you like to install some henchmen, but as long as you firmly grasp the financial power at the root, then you can absolutely control the enterprise.

What is the situation in the country now and in the future, there is a shortage of everything, that is, there is no shortage of people!

Li Liqiang pondered for a while, and felt that what his son said was the same thing, as long as he grabbed the financial power, what was there to be afraid of?

"Dad, although our family is involved in many industries, but in my opinion, it is nothing more than so many major items, such as Zhengyang Hotel, and Fucheng Fat Cow Hot Pot Chain, which can be classified into a catering department, and the hot spring resort can be classified into the tourism division, the winery and milk powder factory, which can be turned into a production division, and the blueberry breeding base, and Yingcheng's seafood breeding base, can be divided into the breeding division, so that several parts are separated, and there will be no confusion in management. If there is no suitable candidate, then hire capable people, I don't believe that high-paying advertisements will not be able to recruit people. Shuguang construction should also pay attention to this side, this will be the key pillar industry of our group in the future, as for the printing factory and the eldest sister's mother and child chain store, these can be specially set up a related business department ......"
