Chapter 92: Invite Adele Out of the Mountain (Part II)

Calming his wife's emotions, John reflected on his expression. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info may have been dealing with people in officialdom a lot lately, and my own speech has been influenced by them. He decided that it was better to have something to say, anyway, there was no need to detour with his daughter-in-law, so that Adele would always misunderstand what he meant.

"Don't worry, my dear. With you and Ella here, how could I be willing to leave you behind to do something dangerous? John put his wife's little hand to the lips and kissed it, and then said, "Even when the time comes, I may not even be able to take care of the affairs of FedEx, and I need you to take care of the company for me." ”

"Me? Helping you take care of the company? Adele was taken aback, "But I don't know anything." I've never been exposed to any of this, can't I find someone else? ”

"You are the person I trust the most, I don't want you to find anyone." John began to play the emotional card, "I don't worry about anyone, only you are the most suitable." What if someone else cheats me? Our net worth is basically invested in it, and if something happens, little Ella will have no dowry. ”

"But I don't know what to do." Adele's attitude began to loosen up a little. On the one hand, she was a little touched by John's "absolute trust", and on the other hand, because she had been at home for so many years, she was used to obeying her husband's arrangement. But suddenly let her show up and take care of her business, Adele was still very worried.

"No concern, we can take our time." John comforted his wife and said, "When we go back, we will find a suitable kindergarten for little Ella first." Send her over when she's on her fourth birthday. You can leave the pick-up and drop-off to Mary so that you can spare time during the day. When the time comes, I will teach you little by little about the company. ”

"Is that good? Ella is still so young. Adele is still a little reluctant to give up her daughter.

"Sooner or later, the child will have to leave home, even if you don't send her to kindergarten now, you will have to send her to school in two years, you can't keep her by your side." John continued: "Besides, it's not like she won't come back at night, won't you still see her every day?" ”

"Okay then." Adele nodded a little reluctantly, "But, I don't know anything about the company, what if I mess up?" ”

"No one is born to do it, didn't you still work in your family's bank before?" After graduating from the church school, Adele worked for a time in Mr. Degarno's private bank.

"That's to help my dad settle accounts, sort out reports or something, and it didn't take long." Strictly speaking, Adele's "work experience" can only be regarded as an internship, not a formal job at all. But anyway, she is also the daughter of a banker, has a higher education, can read financial statements, at least not zero-based.

John had given his wife a serious consideration for the company. It's definitely not a whim, a decision made on the brain. John had already figured out what role his wife would play in the company in the future. As the third largest shareholder of FedEx, Adele herself does not hold any position on the company's board of directors, and is naturally the best candidate for the chairman of the supervisory board.

Sitting in the position of chairman of the board of supervisors, Adele does not have to get entangled in the complex daily affairs of the company, but can also inspect and supervise the company's business and financial status at any time, check the company's financial books and all other accounting materials, and supervise and evaluate the work of the company's departments and branches.

The most important thing is that as the chairman of the company's supervisory board, Adele has the right to represent the company in negotiations with the company's directors when necessary, and can even file a lawsuit against a director on behalf of the company. John's biggest fear at the moment is that when he has no time to manage the company, the New York Central Railroad will be the largest shareholder of FedEx.

Now the Vanderbilt family can barely control the New York Central Railroad. However, once Harold failed to withstand the penetration of the Morgan family, he lost control of the company. Then even FedEx will be in danger of being usurped by the Morgan family. At that point, no matter how loyal Walter's old men were, it would be useless. No matter how powerful these executives are, they are just "wage earners", and they have no way to fight with the largest shareholder.

Only by keeping Adele in charge of the company's supervisory board, and with the support of senior executives like Wolfe, can John ensure that any troubles at FedEx cannot be hidden from his eyes. Even if John is drafted into the army at that time, he does not have to worry about being suddenly attacked and losing control of the company.

Of course, John wasn't going to put Adele on the board of supervisors right away. It's not that Adele doesn't have the qualifications. As John's wife and the company's third largest shareholder, Adele is directly the chairman of the supervisory board, and no one else can say anything.

But that's not good for her or the company. Adele still doesn't know anything about the company, and it is easy to be fooled by the people below to take such an important position. Once she gives her subordinates the impression that she can be fooled casually, Adele will have no prestige in the company in the future. So how can you help John oversee the company and suppress those shareholders and directors who are "ghostly".

Regarding the question of how to help Adele fire the first shot in the company, John also had a plan. Remember when he visited the "Reich Labor Front" in Germany? At that time, John was interested in the construction of a new low-cost canteen for the Nazi "Labor Beautification Campaign" project. Although the wages of FedEx employees are much better than those in German factories, how to solve the problem of eating during transportation has always been a headache for many of the company's truck drivers.

If the company can provide them with low-cost and easy-to-carry working meals, I believe it will be welcomed by grassroots employees. John is going to pay for the construction of staff canteens in each operation center, and Adele can be in charge of this work first.

There are two major advantages to this: on the one hand, it seems that this is Adele's personal behavior and does not involve the internal interests of the company. The shareholders and directors would only think that Adele, Mrs. Kuo, had a good heart and ran to her own company to engage in charity. Not only will they not obstruct it, but they should also take the initiative to make it easier. For them, this is a way to get closer to John's family and build a good reputation, so why not.

On the other hand, it can help Adele win the support of grassroots employees. Let Adele appear in the company with the image of kindness and kindness and care for employees, so as to lay the foundation for her to win public opinion and establish prestige in the future. When the time is ripe, John will merge the staff canteen system into the company, and Adele will be able to enter the company logically. It doesn't seem too obtrusive and alert others.

As for how to run the staff canteen, what kind of food is cheap and fast and easy to carry in these years? Colonel Kentucky's KFC, of course.
