Chapter VIII Complicated Affairs
In the next few days, I was running the company registration procedures.
After the joint discussion of the three people, the company decided to name Pengcheng Wujiaohua Trading Company, taking the meaning of Shenzhen City. Originally, it was planned to be called Pengcheng Wujiaohua Trading Company, but the Industrial and Commercial Bureau did not approve it, saying that you are a private enterprise, and you can't use the name on behalf of the government, and it doesn't work with a little meaning.
Then it's called Pengcheng, the name is not bad, Pengcheng Wanli, it's a good sign.
The registered capital is 8 million, and the three of them jointly contribute 5 million, which is obviously a gap with the registered capital.
There is an organizational structure in the articles of association of the company, and Lin is always a legal person and serves as the general manager; Zhao Hongbing is the deputy general manager and business director, in charge of the business department and the sales department; Mr. Liu is also the deputy general manager, in charge of external marketing.
In addition, there are finance department, administration department, warehousing department, engineering project department, etc., Mr. Lin is responsible for recruitment, and the required personnel will be arranged in the near future.
Then the name of the store was established, Zhao Hongbing mentioned a few names, Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu both felt that the name "Qianjinhui" was good, which was catchy and rich, and could also be linked to the hardware business.
Once the name of the store is established, a series of preparations are made for the opening of the store.
Pengcheng company plans to open five stores in the early stage, and there is a central warehouse, under the warehouse scheduling system designed by Zhao Hongbing, so that the most efficient turnover of funds can be achieved, and the inventory will not be too large and the funds will be idling like the head office of Lin.
During the preparation of the store, Mr. Lin made a suggestion, he hoped to merge the three stores of the original company into Pengcheng, and hoped that Zhao Hongbing and Mr. Liu would consider it.
Mr. Lin has his own difficulties, those people are relatives in his hometown, he has been with him for many years, he has a responsibility to them, since he is very optimistic about Pengcheng now, Mr. Lin hopes to join them with him.
Mr. Liu and Zhao Hongbing are a little embarrassed, the difficulty is that these people are afraid that it is not easy to manage, and then the new company has to implement a new set of marketing and management methods, and even the store services are reformary, I am afraid that these people are not competent.
Mr. Lin made a guarantee, first, these people will conduct pre-job training with the newly recruited personnel; Second, no matter who it is, no matter what the relationship is, as long as a mistake is made, it can be severely punished according to the rules and regulations.
Lao Liu is a good old man, and he doesn't want to offend Mr. Lin, so he nodded in agreement first.
Zhao Hongbing has other considerations, it is not impossible to absorb Mr. Lin's people, but he must think clearly about the pros and cons.
Let's start with the favorable areas. Mr. Lin as a major shareholder, if his company continues to operate the hardware store, it will inevitably compete with Pengcheng Company in the future, and now absorb them to resolve this hidden danger in advance, which is of great benefit to the development of Pengcheng.
Moreover, Lin has been doing hardware business for many years, whether it is sales or grasping the market, that group of people is still very experienced, such as the store manager Cao, these salesmen are very proficient in business, and they must be much faster than recruiting a new batch of salesmen.
After talking about the benefits, there are disadvantages. Zhao Hongbing has great expectations for Pengcheng Company, and has formulated strict and modern rules and regulations in all aspects at the beginning, hoping that this company can develop rapidly and become a large company that can participate in modern competition. A modern large company is inseparable from modern scientific management. In order to achieve this goal, Zhao Hongbing persuaded Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu to contact a headhunting company in Hong Kong to find a senior talent proficient in management for Pengcheng, which has been recognized, and Pengcheng Company reserved a position of deputy general manager for each other, and prepared a house and a car, plus a generous annual salary.
These are enough to show that Zhao Hongbing attaches great importance to management.
And Manager Cao's group, diligent and hard-working, but their own education level is low, and in the store operation self-summed up a set of rough management knowledge, these knowledge is good and bad, Zhao Hongbing does not want them to bring some bad habits into the new company, which will affect those new employees, causing management troubles.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongbing finally agreed to Mr. Lin's request, but put forward one condition: it will be merged after half a year.
His reason is that the company has just been established, there are many affairs, if the merger of the stores, I am afraid it will make a mess, and the asset accounting of the three stores is also a troublesome matter, and now there is a serious shortage of financial personnel, and it is simply incompetent.
Mr. Lin accepted Zhao Hongbing's reasons and agreed to merge after half a year. A dispute that might cause contradictions was resolved in this way, and Mr. Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also increased his evaluation of Zhao Hongbing's character: This is a person with strong principles.
The next step is to recruit and find a location. Mr. Lin transferred his nephew Liu Pengfei over and asked him and Zhao Hongbing to be in charge of the store, and he and Mr. Liu were stationed in the talent market and were responsible for recruiting the required personnel.
It took them a week to find two stores on Huali Huandao and Tianbei 4th Road, and three shops on Baden Street North and South Road. There are five storefronts on Tianbei 4th Road, which are larger than the three largest stores of the Lin Corporation, and the monthly rent is 13,000 yuan.
Zhao Hongbing felt that the positions were very good and difficult to give up. called Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu over to work together, and Mr. Lin clapped the decision and said: Rent them all!
In this way, the budget is exceeded, and it is expected that the funds of five stores will actually be prepared to open six stores, Mr. Lin said boldly: I am not afraid of the gap, I will make up for the lack of much, even if I lend the money to the company temporarily.
Jing Tsai privately told Zhao Hongbing that Mr. Lin had been very lucky playing cards recently, won a lot of money, and gave him a reward of 10,000 yuan a few days ago.
The store has found a place, but the recruited personnel are not yet in place.
Mr. Lin was busy playing cards, and he didn't have time to interview, Mr. Liu couldn't be busy alone, so Zhao Hongbing went over to help, and the two were busy for a few days, recruiting a group of purchasing, warehouse management, salesmen and a few supervisors with sales experience in hardware.
At the same time, Zhao Hongbing recruited a retired old accountant with decades of experience in large state-owned enterprises for his Oriental Trading Company, surnamed Wang, a native of Xiguang, because his son and daughter-in-law came to work in Shenzhen, so he followed.
Zhao Hongbing will arrange for Accountant Wang to enter the finance department of Pengcheng Company as a representative of his own shareholders. Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu will also arrange for their financial representatives to enter the company, which is written into the shareholders' articles of association.
When the recruitment was about to end, there was good news from Hong Kong, a Taiwanese who had worked in the management of Japanese companies in Hong Kong wanted to develop in the mainland, but the other party still had some doubts about coming to Pengcheng for such a newly established small company, and hoped to talk to the company boss on the phone.
Zhao Hongbing thought that it was still a matter of money, and after discussing with Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu, he appropriately increased the chips, gave the other party a salary of 20,000 yuan per month, and promised a performance bonus at the end of the year.
This person's name is Chen Weiqi, graduated from Duke University School of Management in the United States, and has worked in Toshiba's Hong Kong factory for more than ten years. Zhao Hongbing is most optimistic about one of the points in his resume is that Chen Weiqi has been a workshop supervisor and training manager, and has rich experience in employee management, Zhao Hongbing hopes that he can bring advanced ideas from Hong Kong and even abroad to Pengcheng Company.
On the day Chen Weiqi came, the three CEOs of Pengcheng greeted him at the pass, which made Chen Weiqi very useful. Subsequently, a grand welcome ceremony was given in Mr. Lin's seafood restaurant, and all the people above the company's supervisors were present to congratulate, dozens of people were lively, according to Mr. Liu's statement, the company's opening celebration was carried out in advance.
The next day, an all-staff meeting was held, and Mr. Lin appointed Mr. Chen Weiqi as the deputy general manager of Pengcheng Company, in charge of personnel and administrative management.
The first thing Chen Weiqi did after taking office was to pay attention to staff training. He formulated a set of militarized training systems and implemented a strict scoring and elimination system. During the training period, employees can enjoy the salary of formal work, but if the score is not qualified, then sorry, it is useless for anyone to intercede, and leave immediately.
The content of his training is the set of ideas that Zhao Hongbing told Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu: unification and standardization. With strict systems and standard routines, batch manufacturing of qualified employees.
Seeing that the training was on the right track, Zhao Hongbing was relieved, but he couldn't rest yet, and the decoration design of the store was also on the agenda.
The design of the store has hired the best design company in Shenzhen, including decoration and icon design. Zhao Hongbing personally talked to their boss about his ideas and business philosophy, and asked them to consider the shaping of the "Qianjinhui" brand when designing.
The final decoration renderings are very beautiful, the construction drawings are extremely detailed, and even how many watts of various lights, where to use cold light, where to use warm light, and what cables are required for the circuit are clearly marked. The neon sign of the store uses the design concept of international brands, which makes people feel tall at first glance. There is a beautiful advertising window in the conspicuous place at the door, introducing the service idea and the purpose of the establishment of Qianjinhui.
This design renderings won the unanimous appreciation of the three CEOs of Pengcheng, in order to restore the renderings as much as possible, Zhao Hongbing listened to the suggestions of the design company, and chose a decoration company that they often deal with, Zhao Hongbing emphasized to the person in charge of the decoration company: "I don't necessarily blindly seek speed, the most important thing is to ensure the quality of decoration." ”
The renovation progress will be completed in about half a month, and the training of employees will also end, and after discussion, it was decided to hold the company's opening ceremony on the first of next month.
However, Zhao Hongbing is not idle, he needs to go to Jiangcheng to participate in this month's Wujiaohua order meeting and purchase the first batch of goods for Pengcheng Company.
