Chapter 159: Exxon...... It's been a change! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
In the past few days, Ji Sheng has been busy with the company's recruitment.
Fortunately, the general manager of the company was recruited, and Ji Sheng didn't have to do many things himself.
It has to be mentioned here that there is a difference between a general manager and a CEO.
First of all, CEO and president are the same nature of the position, the former is the title of a Western company, the latter is the title of Huaxia, that is, the highest chief executive of the enterprise, these two titles will only appear in the group company, in addition, the CEO is elected by the shareholders' meeting, and has the decision-making power over all major business operations of the company, including finance, business direction and business scope, and also has the right to participate in the decision-making of the board of directors, appoint and dismiss the company's senior management.
The general manager is the CEO in the non-group company, and is the boss of the operation and management, second only to the boss, but in the group company, the general manager is smaller than the CEO, and there is only one CEO in a group, but each subsidiary has a general manager.
Ji Sheng's Huajin Capital belongs to him alone, non-group nature, and naturally there is no need for a CEO, it is enough to have a general manager.
Since the other party has been recruited as the general manager, Ji Sheng must be enough to delegate power.
For example, in the interview now, he sat on the side and didn't say a word.
Steve. White looked at the red-haired white woman in her thirties with some freckles on her face in front of her, "Sophia. Ms. Green, the headhunter has already told you about the situation of our company, and they recommend you to the position of investment manager department, if you are the head of the investment manager department of Huajin Capital, how will you choose the company's investment projects? As a matter of forefront, although our company is a financial company on the surface, its main business is venture capital. “
Sofia. "If I were the head of the investment manager department of Huajin Capital, I would mainly invest in those emerging industries, such as PC, education, and technology, and the information industry would be the first priority. ”
Ji Sheng listened slightly, the beautiful country in the 80s was a big manufacturing country, but after entering the 90s, it was the world of the information industry.
I have to say that this is called Sophia. Ms. Greene is still very strategic.
"The company has just been established, and securities, insurance consulting, business information consulting, financial consulting and other businesses are temporarily outsourced to Erickson, what do you think about this?" Steve. White continued to ask.
Sofia. Green said with a serious face: "In the early stage of the company, these businesses can be outsourced to other companies to do, but if the company is on the right track, these businesses must be in their own hands, especially the three businesses of securities and insurance trust, which are the company's main profit direction. ”
Ji Sheng knew that this woman had real skills when he heard it, the most direct composition of a company is to have funds to come in, and then to invest, at present, Huajin Capital's funds are all up to Ji Sheng himself, nothing in a short time, but if you want to support a company to go public, it may take several years, and he can't spend several years throwing money into it without making a profit, right?
Steve. White then made a series of inquiries.
Finally Sophia. Green's answers were excellent.
Steve. White was very satisfied, and leaned next to Ji Sheng and whispered, "Boss, I think I can let her try it." ”
Ji Sheng looked at his watch, and then at the mobile phone on the table, "I think it's okay, you are the general manager of the company, you can take the idea." ”
"Okay, thank you boss for trusting." Steve. After White finished speaking, he looked up and said, "Congratulations, Ms. Green, you have temporarily obtained the position of head of the investment manager department of Huajin Capital, if your work can satisfy me within the ninety days probationary period, you will officially become an important piece of the puzzle of Huajin Capital." ”
"Thank you." Sofia. Green thanked.
Salary what not to use Ji Sheng and Steve. White went to talk about it, and the headhunter had already said that the salary package was as long as the interview was passed and the contract was signed.
This is followed by interviews with the heads of the General Office and the Finance Department, and when the senior talent is recruited, the General Office Director will personally preside over the recruitment of middle and junior staff.
Ji Sheng originally wanted to sit down, but when he was interviewing the head of the General Office, he received a message from Darren. Woods' phone call made him rush to Exxon immediately, saying that when the extraordinary shareholders' meeting was over, there would be something important to talk to him.
He answered the phone and turned to Steve. White said, "I have something to go out for, and you continue with the next interview." ”
"Okay boss." Steve. White said.
Ji Sheng didn't say anything more, picked up his coat and walked outside, and rushed to Exxon in the car of the long-term cooperation package between the company and the car rental company.
……
Just on the way to Ji Sheng.
Exxon is holding an extraordinary shareholders' meeting.
The general meeting of shareholders is the highest authority of the company, and generally except for the annual general meeting of shareholders, there are no major circumstances that will not convene an extraordinary general meeting.
Like what...... It is related to the change of directors of the company!
Inside the large auditorium.
Exxon's major shareholders were all present, and many small shareholders also came, and the combined shareholding ratio of these people reached more than 95 percent.
Exxon's assets today are nearly $80 billion, but the market value of the listed part is $60 billion, and most of these shares are in the hands of major consortia or institutions, and the value of shares held by real ordinary people is only about 4 billion.
Assets and market capitalization are two different things, not that the company is worth so much money because of the market capitalization.
The general meeting of shareholders is generally presided over by the chairman of the board.
But today, when the shareholders arrived, they found out that it was not the case.
Darren. Woods actually sat in the chair, while Chairman Lawrence sat on the sidelines with a cloudy face.
"Good morning, shareholders and directors, some people may wonder why today's board of directors is not presided over by the chairman, but by me." Darren. Woods looked at the hundreds of shareholders sitting in the audience, "This is related to the convening of this extraordinary shareholders' meeting, and Chairman Lawrence will announce this to you in public." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lawrence with the eyes of a victor or a loser.
The other shareholders also had a hunch of the unusual taste and looked at Lawrence.
Lawrence took a deep breath, stood up and said: "Recently, there was a major oil spill accident in the company, and I, as the chairman of the company, failed to give a timely response plan, which caused the company's huge losses and cannot be excused. ”
"Huh?"
"What?"
"Lawrence resigned?"
"This ...... What's going on? ”
All the shareholders who are not yet aware of it are all blinded.
Only a few factional shareholders with knowledge of the situation showed mixed reactions.
The people of the Vanguard Group and State Street factions sneered.
The people of the Black Rock Group faction had ugly faces.
These days, Darren. Woods personally presided over the handling of the oil spill, and it is not known whether he played a role in the miserab, or deepened ties with the media, local government, environmental groups and the public, or rushed to Princes' Bay to personally clean the oil and was broadcast live on radio and television 24 hours a day, and the public, media and local government and other organizations not only forgave Exxon, but also expressed sympathy and gave a higher level of trust than before the accident.
Of course, this is not to make Darren. An important reason why Woods succeeded in forcing the palace.
There are two more important reasons.
First, he succeeded in his challenge.
Second, many customers who had previously lost due to the company's inaction were seen in Darren. After Woods made a deed on behalf of Exxon, he once again chose to believe that he signed a contract with Exxon again, with orders of billions of dollars.
Fully show that Ji Sheng gave Darren. Woods' PR plan was right, so he was able to force the palace to succeed.
Of course, Lawrence can also be tough to the end without compromise.
But if Lawrence doesn't want to resign with dignity, Darren. The powerful forces of Woods and the Vanguard Group and State Street Bank will help Lawrence leave in disgrace.
Anyway, Lawrence has only one way to resign this time, which is nothing more than being decent or undignified.
As long as you don't have to be stupid, you know how to do it the right way.
Lawrence resigned voluntarily.
The company can't be left without an owner for a day, Lawrence resigns, and someone has to fill the chairman's seat, and someone has to fill the director's seat of this person.
Obviously, the purpose of the extraordinary shareholder meeting is to elect Exxon's new top executive and which faction will get more agency.
The answer is self-explanatory!
Shareholders now have only one thought on their minds, Exxon...... It's been a change!
……
Ji Sheng felt that it was about ten o'clock in the morning when Exxon was in the company.
He waited in the reception room for more than an hour.
It wasn't until about twelve o'clock that there was a commotion in the Exxon auditorium.
Immediately after, footsteps sounded one after another.
Ji Sheng looked out through the glass of the reception room, and saw a large group of people hugging Darren who was proud of the spring breeze. Woods walked up to him.
Darren at the moment. Woods' face glowed red, as if he had won an incredible battle.
When Darren. When Woods came to the door of the reception room, he commanded the others, "You accompany the shareholders to the dinner first, and I will meet an honored guest." ”
"Okay chairman."
"Chairman, you're busy first."
Others scattered.
Darren. Woods pushed open the door to the meeting room and walked in with a smile on his face.
He was followed by Barkley, Agnan, and a short-haired white woman of twenty-seven or eighteen whom he had never met.
"Oh, my brother Ji."
Darren. As soon as Woods came in, he spread out his hands to hug Ji Sheng.
Ji Sheng had probably guessed what was going on, and also stood up with a smile on his face and Darren. Woods hugged, "Mr. Woods......"
"Call me Darren." Darren. Woods looked at him with a smile.
People who know each other in the beautiful country usually call each other by their last names, such as Darren. Woods' surname is Woods, and Ji Sheng has always called each other Mr. Woods before, and only when the relationship is close to a certain point will he call each other by his name.
Darren. Woods asked Ji Sheng to call him "Darren", obviously deciding to become friends with Ji Sheng in the true sense of the word.
Barkley and Egnan have similar attitudes.
Darren. Woods also introduced the beautiful woman by the way, "Ji, she is the newly elected director of the company at the shareholders' meeting, named Emily. Hoin. ”
"Hello Miss Hoin." Ji Sheng stretched out his hand.
Emily. Huo Yin shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, thank you a lot for being one of the directors of the company this time." ”
Ji Sheng understood what she meant, it was nothing more than saying that he was helping Darren. Woods offered a plan to get the Vanguard and State Street factions an extra board seat.
"Ji, let's sit down and talk." Darren. Woods smiled and invited him to sit down.
Ji Sheng knew that the other party was going to repay him, otherwise he would not have called him over when the shareholders' meeting was still being held.
Exxon is an oil giant with assets of seven or eight billion dollars. Woods is now the chairman again, and if he really wants to reciprocate, Ji Sheng believes that he will be able to gain enough benefits.
What benefits will it give you?
Ji Sheng towards Darren. Woods looked.
