"The Long Island Express program worked well last time, and this Christmas Express program will continue to work hard. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info Leo, Walter, Fred, you have to work hard during the Christmas holidays, don't make mistakes. Seeing that no one objected anymore, John finally clapped the shot.

"Jacob, I have signed this year's year-end appraisal, bonus and shareholder dividend form. You go back and hurry up and put it in place, and send the money before Christmas. "If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it, John knows it all too well. Without bonuses, where does the people at the bottom get the motivation to work overtime at Christmas.

Sure enough, even all the high-level executives here are not short of money, and when they heard that the year-end bonuses and dividends have come down, the atmosphere is suddenly relaxed and lively.

"BOSS, how many can there be this year? Am I waiting for this money to marry a daughter-in-law? Dvořák, the head of personnel, joked with a hippie smile.

"Come on, just you, the guy who runs to Flower Street and Willow Lane every day, which girl is willing to marry you." Melvin, the head of administration, unceremoniously exposed his shortcomings.

Oddly enough, the former elite FBI agent somehow came into contact with Dvořák, a labor expert from the streets. The two teamed up to make a big deal with the labor organization within FedEx, and their personal relationship was also very close.

"Wine hurts, you have to pay attention to your body, Dvořák." Security Minister Reilly also began to joke about Dvořák, "You're only in your early 30s and you're fat like this, do you want me to arrange for someone from the White Mountain Brigade to lose weight for you?" As long as you get rid of this fat, there will still be girls who like you. ”

Melvin, the head of administration, Dvořák, the head of personnel, and the director of security, Reilly, are now the troika of FedEx's internal management system. John was also happy to see that they had such a good relationship. "Dvořák, when you really find a marriage partner, I will definitely give you a big gift. Okay, let's all disperse. Walter came to my office. ”

Back in his office, John asked his secretary to bring him two cups of coffee, and then closed the door. Next year, he will gradually fade out of the company's management affairs, and he needs to explain his development plans for the next few years.

"Walter, it's been a hard year. FedEx can have today, thanks to you! Among the top executives of FedEx, Walter was the most reassuring to John. Not only because he is loyal to himself, but also because he is rigorous and steady, considers problems carefully and thoroughly, and almost never makes mistakes.

"Next year, your burden will be heavier, and I am ready to step down as the general manager of the company, and you will take over." Without waiting for Walter to say goodbye, John continued: "I've thought about it, and I'm afraid I'll have a hard time next year to take care of the company's affairs." During the critical period of the company's development, I am not at ease with anyone, only you are the most suitable to take over the position of general manager. After Christmas, I will transfer 2% of the company's shares to you, and you can give the money whenever you want according to the market price. ”

"John, there's no need to do that. You can rest assured that you will be busy with Washington's affairs, and I will keep an eye on the company's side. Walter thought John was worried that he wasn't doing his best.

"No, it's necessary." John interrupted Walter: "With the current momentum of FedEx, it is only a matter of time before it goes public. I guess by this time next year, if the company doesn't issue shares, the Wall Street vampires will definitely come out against us. Once listed, it would be inappropriate for FedEx to be both chairman and general manager as a public company. Rather than wait until that time, it is better for you to take over earlier, so that the transition is smoother. ”

"Is there going to be a stock issue next year? How much?" It was the first time Walter had heard John mention the company's listing in person, and although there had been various rumors before, John had never made a formal statement.

"It won't be too much, about two million shares, it's just a little bit of benefit to block other people's mouths, and it won't affect our control over the company." John didn't want to go into detail about the listing right now: "I'll let Jacob and Donald come up with a preliminary plan for this, and then we'll talk about it in detail." I have called you today mainly because I have a few things to explain. ”

"First of all, the matter of container intermodal transportation, which is the company's key plan for next year, must not be missed. I'm not worried about anything else, the key is that there is no chaos on the part of the ILO. Once the stevedores who have lost their jobs rise up and make trouble, they will be in trouble. ”

"I'll take notice." Walter replied as he took notes in his notebook. "The company doesn't have many of its own stevedores, and most of them are hired on a temporary basis at the docks and warehouses."

"None of the company's own stevedores should be dismissed, and all of them should be transferred to the retail transportation business. The reason why I am in such a hurry to start this business this time is to absorb the surplus labor generated by container intermodal transportation. When he said this, John was angry. The Democratic bastards have served the workers as uncles for the sake of votes.

Since the enactment of the Wagner Act in 1936, various labor organizations in the United States have not stopped. It is really sad that a capitalist who is a dignified self has fallen to the point where he does not dare to dismiss the workers easily. But before the introduction of the Industrial Relations Act in 1946, capitalists like John really had no good way to effectively restrain those labor organizations that had been beaten by chickens, so they could only pretend to be their grandsons.

"I know, the company has no plans to lay off employees. There are many jobs that are short of people, and next year we plan to recruit another 600-800 truck drivers, which can always be digested. Walter clearly did not have as much awareness of the urgency of labor issues as John's boss.

"The focus is on the stevedores at those docks, stations. Once the container intermodal transport is scaled up, it will inevitably affect their revenue. Although these people are not employees of the company, it is estimated that the Transport Workers' Federation will inevitably come to us for trouble. I don't care if you ask Dvořák to give money to the union leaders, or Melvin to catch the pigtails, but I have to keep the situation under control and not make a mess. ”

"Understood." Walter replied crisply. That's what John likes most about him, as long as you give the task clearly, he can always find a way to complete it, and he doesn't have to worry about it himself.

"The second thing is about Adele. During my absence, I plan to make her serve on the company's supervisory board. As soon as John's words fell, Walter immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, it will be easy to have a lady sitting on the board of supervisors." ”

Although Walter was already exercising the general manager to some extent before. But now that he has officially accepted the appointment of the company's general manager, and that he has accepted it in the context of John's retirement and the imminent listing of the company, Walter is under pressure.

Even if he accepted the shares of the company that John transferred to him, he would be a minority shareholder at best. After the company is listed, if those capital predators make waves in the board of directors, they will not be able to control the scene as a "wage earner". Now that Adele is on the supervisory board, the situation is completely different.

"Now Kent, the chairman of the company's board of supervisors, is old, and his health is not good, so he basically doesn't come to the company." Walter suggested, "Why don't you just let him retire and let his wife take over his shift." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, Adele doesn't know anything about the company, and it is not a good thing for her to be the chairman of the board of supervisors rashly." Kent, the current chairman of the company's board of supervisors, is an old man next to Harold, and he came to FedEx to provide for the elderly. Such a desireless old man, there is no need to rush him away, and if he stays, he may be able to help Adele shelter from the wind and rain.

"You mean to let the lady come to the company to find a position to familiarize herself with for a while?" Walter asked.

"That's right, I've got a place in mind. Didn't I tell you about the establishment of the canteen once after I came back from Europe, and I was going to put Adele in charge of it......" John told Walter in detail about his plan for Adele.

"Anyway, you don't have to meddle in the previous matter, I'll arrange for Melvin and Dvořák to help." John concluded: "What you have to do is wait for Adele to be on the supervisory board, and then cooperate with her to keep an eye on the board of directors." Adele has no experience, if there are any clues, you have to mention her, don't let her be blinded. I'll advise her to try to reduce the pressure on the board for you. ”

"Don't worry, I will fully cooperate with Madame." In Walter's view, no matter what capacity Adele appears in the company, she represents John himself. When John wasn't in the company, Adele meant what John meant. How I cooperated with John before, how to cooperate with Adele in the future.

"You bother to teach her more." John himself is confident in the Walter Adele duo, and with these two in the company, he at least doesn't have to worry about being copied from his back.

"And one last thing, the management reform in Los Angeles has to be maintained." "McNamara is going back to school after Christmas, but this can't be stopped," John said. You go and talk to Dean Dunant at Harvard Business School and ask them to arrange for someone to come and take over. ”

"Isn't the pilot in Los Angeles over? I think McNamara's "Daily Management Norms and Assessment Standards" is very good, but it is a little more difficult to implement. Walter was a little puzzled by this, he had planned to wait for the Christmas holidays to be over, and then disperse the group of people who were sent to Los Angeles to do the pilot work in various branches to promote the results.

"Confused! Is this a one-shot deal? John was a little unhappy with Walter's short-sightedness: "Will there be a need for new specifications for container intermodal transportation to be carried out next year?" What about retail transportation services, do they also need new assessment standards? The reform of the management system is a continuous process of continuous updating and improvement, and it has just achieved some results. ”

"What do you mean?" Walter asked.

"The group of people in the Los Angeles pilot did not move, and they sent people from various branches to Los Angeles to study in batches." John repeatedly advised: "After a year of study and practice, these people are all management talents, and good steel should be used on the blade, not buried." When McNamara returns, I'm going to set up a systems analysis office dedicated to research and training management talent. ”

In John's mind, this system analysis office is his "Whampoa Military Academy", which is specially designed for him to train a new generation of management talents with modern enterprise management concepts and literacy. There are too few loyal and capable old people like Walter, and if FedEx wants to develop, it still faces a big gap in management talents.

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I get back." When it comes to knowing more about the Los Angeles pilot, Walter knows much more than John. Without his care, McNamara would not have achieved his current results. Walter, in turn, was struck by the success of the new management system advocated by McNamara. Before, he wanted to disband the pilot, but he was not aware of it, and it was not that he had any opinions on the reform pilot.

"Alright, that's all. Take up the rest of your own mind. "John saw that Walter was reacting, so he didn't say anything more, and some things were just done." You go back and let Melvin and Dvořák come to me, go. ”
