Chapter 45 Shiming Group
Shiming Group, which originated in Tianjin and is rooted in the imperial capital, is a large national enterprise group, which can barely rank in the top 300 among the major enterprise groups in Beijing, and is not a member of the top enterprise club.
But as long as Shiming Group is mentioned in the Beijing circle, whether it is the company itself or its chairman Li Shiming, it will be a hot topic of discussion.
Because this company has a unique corporate culture and management guidelines in the country, it can be summed up in four words - legal compliance.
Everything in Shiming Group must be done in accordance with the rules, whether it is enterprise management, employee rules, or bidding and procurement, sales reception, everything must be carried out in accordance with the detailed work instructions.
The whole process control, procedural compliance is more important than negotiating business, and any business behavior must not touch the legal red line, and would rather lose part of the order, lose some customers, and never do anything in violation of regulations.
Honesty is the most valuable quality of a businessman, but Li Shiming, as the chairman of Shiming Group, has a different set of views and interpretations on integrity than ordinary people.
He believes that human nature is inherently evil, do not trust the conscience of any businessman, loyalty is due to the fact that the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough, and when the bargaining chips are enough, anyone can be treacherous.
Therefore, instead of bothering to do the vain love of enterprise culture or loyalty education, it is better to use the word "legal compliance" as the standard to measure all the behaviors of the enterprise, and use strict rules and regulations to guide the behavior of each employee.
This may cause some inhumanity in the process of company management, but it can protect the interests of the company, employees and customers to the greatest extent.
For more than ten years, Shiming Group has adhered to this concept, and there are many people who can't adapt to such a corporate culture and leave the company, and there are many talents with the same philosophy who have stayed.
Therefore, Shiming Group is not the strongest enterprise, but it has won a higher evaluation than integrity, and it is also a model of excellent enterprises in the eyes of the government.
Of course, that is only the government's view of Shiming Group, but the enterprise groups that worked hard and grew together with Shiming Group in those years preferred to find fault with Shiming Group.
They were jealous of Li Shiming, when everyone started from a small workshop, there were more or less gray areas and ulterior secrets in the growth of the company, and later everyone transformed together, but only Shiming Group was the most successful in transformation.
For example, Zhu's enterprise had a good relationship with the Li family back then, and later the transformation of Shiming Group, the two sides broke up and parted ways, and they have been fighting openly and secretly all these years.
Among the entrepreneurs in the entire Beijing circle, Li Shiming is the most discussed, not because of how well his business has done, nor how many shares he has in the company, but because he has the courage to turn an enterprise that started with the power of the township party into a pure white enterprise like today.
Most of the entrepreneurs in the Beijing circle have the same idea, that is, to wait for the Shiming Group to break out of the laws and regulations, so as to ridicule Li Shiming.
However, contrary to expectations, Shiming Group has not had any negative news exposure since 2000, which is extremely rare among large groups in the country.
Early this morning, a guest with a suitcase and a strong scholar's temperament came to the Shiming Group Building, and was stopped by the security guard on the first floor because he was not wearing formal clothes.
According to the company's regulations, external visitors must wear suits, otherwise they will not be accepted.
The person who came said that he had brought formal clothes, but he didn't have time to change them, and he needed to see Chairman Li Shiming in an emergency.
If it was a security guard from another company, he would definitely blow him out, but Shiming's security guard would not do this, and he seriously asked the purpose of coming to see the chairman and whether he had made an appointment.
The person who came had to say that he was Li Shiming's cousin Li Jie, who had just returned from Italy, and had not had time to meet his cousin Li Shiming, but he had to see his cousin as soon as possible.
The security guard meticulously called the front desk of the group, and the front desk quickly used PAD to check the list of visitors that the chairman could meet without an appointment, and there was this Mr. Li Jie in it.
After comparing the photo from more than ten years ago, the front desk lady immediately changed to a professional smile and said: "Hello, Mr. Li Jie, I'm really sorry, we didn't know that you were in the chairman's list of non-reserved visitors, so you have been waiting for a long time." ”
Li Jie hurriedly said: "It's okay, I know that you have big rules, you don't need to apologize to me, you just tell me when I can see my cousin." ”
The front desk lady pressed a few times on the PAD and said, "Hello, Mr. Li Jie, the chairman has gone up to the 31st floor, he is having a meeting with the senior executives above the director level, the meeting will end at about 9:15, and he will have 15 minutes to receive you." ”
Li Jie said impatiently: "Okay, then I'll go up and wait for him." ”
"Sir, wait a minute. The front desk lady hurriedly stopped Li Jie.
Li Jie said a little angrily: "Haven't you already verified my identity? Why don't you let me go up, isn't Shiming's pomp and circumstance too big now?"
The security guard politely explained: "Mr. Li Jie, don't get me wrong, we are not preventing you from going upstairs to wait for the chairman, but according to the rules of the building, except for the cleaning service staff, all employees and visitors entering the office floor must wear suits. ”
Li Jie had the urge to flip the table, and the front desk lady hurriedly added: "Mr. Li, you are the cousin of the chairman, and I believe you don't want to break the rules that Shiming Group has adhered to for more than 20 years." ”
Looking at the professional smiles of the front desk lady and the security guard, Li Jie's anger disappeared, his cousin is really a talent, and it is not easy to train the most grassroots employees like this!
Forget it, I haven't been back for ten years, give my cousin a face!
In the end, Li Jie changed into a gray formal suit in the bathroom on the first floor of Shiming Group.
His tall and lanky figure, combined with his hand-sewn suits and shirts in Italy, immediately showed the elegance of a scholarly demeanor, adding at least twenty points to his image.
At this time, it can be seen that he is six or seven points similar to Chairman Li Shiming, just an elegant and majestic one, both middle-aged handsome uncles.
An intern secretary at the administration secretariat was instructed to lead Li Jie up to the 31st floor, where the 26th floor and above are the offices of the company's executives, and those floors cannot be reached directly by outsiders without the use of a dedicated elevator.
The intern secretary led Li Jie to the VIP waiting room on the 31st floor, where the service staff had already prepared tea and pastries, Li Jie was not polite, sat down and ate, he did more than ten hours of flight, and after getting off the plane, he went straight to Shiming Group, and he didn't even have time to eat early.
During this period, no one came to disturb Li Jie, the whole floor was very quiet, Li Jie fed himself with pastries, got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass of the VIP room, wanting to see the scenery around Shiming Building.
It has only been seven years since Shiming Group entered the Shiming Building, and the building had not yet been built when Li Jie returned to China last time.
Li Kit's academic direction is the study of ancient Greek and Roman history and archaeology, but he is no stranger to the art of Feng Shui in China.
Before the construction of Shiming Building, you must have asked the master to see Feng Shui, this is a place of treasure, no wonder the business of Shiming Group will become bigger and bigger over the years, and it is not a mistake for me to choose to go abroad and not join Shiming Group.
While he was thinking wildly, the intern secretary who had brought him with him just now came in and removed the pastry and replaced it with a fruit bowl.
Li Jie asked, "When will your chairman dismiss the meeting?"
"It's 9:02 now, and the chairman's meeting never runs out of time, and it will definitely end at 9:15. ”
Now there are not many corporate CEOs who can be punctual in meetings, and looking at the confident appearance of the employees below, you know that Li Shiming is extremely demanding on himself.
At 9:16, the door of the VIP reception room was suddenly pushed open, and Li Shiming, who usually looked dignified, strode in with a warm smile on his face.
"Brother Jie, why are you back! You haven't been back to China for ten years, have you?
Li Shiming directly gave Li Jie a big hug, Li Jie gently patted Li Shiming's back and said, "Brother Ming, won't I come back?"
"Let's go and talk to my office. Li Shiming picked up Li Jie and walked to his office, and said to his full-time secretary before entering the door: "Cancel all other activities in the morning, I have important things to do in the morning." ”
The beautiful secretary hurriedly got up and replied yes, Li Shiming took Li Jie back to his office in a hurry.
The secretary had to call the relevant departments of the company to inform her that the morning meeting was canceled, and called a friend to say that Li Dong had something to do temporarily, and the morning meeting was postponed, and apologized.
Li Shiming was very excited when he saw Li Jie, and after Zhang Luo Li Jie sat down, he went to the cabinet under the water dispenser to find teacups and tea leaves, and prepared to make a cup of tea for his cousin himself.
However, it is normal to not be able to find something in his identity, Li Jie hurriedly said: "Brother Ming, don't be busy, I was already full in the reception room just now, and I came to you this time for business." ”
Li Shiming had no choice but to press the pager on the table, asked the secretary to pour two cups of tea and send them in, then sat on the sofa and said: "I knew that you had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, you haven't come back for ten years, and you don't tell the second uncle and them in advance when you come back, there must be something." Say, there is something I need my brother to help with. ”
"Brother Ming, I want you to help me find someone in the imperial capital. ”
"What's your name, what?"
"Fang Wei, he is a student, he should be in his freshman year, I need to find him immediately!"
"Fang Wei!" Li Shiming's voice was very loud, and he looked stunned, which startled Li Jie.
"Brother Ming, what's wrong with you?
Li Shiming smiled, and his smile was a little intriguing: "As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together! My family has recently encountered some small troubles, your niece Jingshu drove a motorcycle and hit someone ten days ago, and the young man on the other side is called Fang Wei, a first-year student at the Imperial Capital Institute of Technology, I don't know if it's the person you said." ”
Li Jie stood up suddenly: "Did it hit it? Is it serious, in which hospital?"
Li Shiming was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Sit, why are you so excited? What does that kid have to do with you?"
"Fang Wei is the son of a senior who is two years older than me!
"According to the narrative of Jing Shu and her fox friends who were racing cars, Fang Wei should have been seriously injured, but later found out that the kid was not injured at all!"
Li Shiming was also very puzzled, he hadn't thought about it clearly, thinking that the two girls were too nervous at that time and misjudged the injuries of the direction.
Li Jie silently calculated the time and said to himself: "Yes, I shouldn't have been seriously injured, he also posted on the Internet on the 16th, and later deleted it." If you are in a car accident and you are not injured, only that ring has such an effect.
Strange, where did he get that ring? Where does he live now, Brother Ming, do you know?"
"How did you know about the ring in Italy? Brother Jie, you are really looking for this Fang Wei! What happened, you confused me. ”
