Chapter 714 Product Division
Qin Zhengguo's words made Da Liu Mei smile very happily, and in this way, the cooperation intention of the two sides was determined in the three of them chatting over tea.
As for the details of the back, they don't have to worry about this, as the boss controls the general direction, and the specific work is naturally handled by the following people.
After the cooperation was negotiated, the atmosphere was a little more harmonious, and the next topic was some small talk, Da Liu said some interesting anecdotes about Xiangjiang with great interest, including many topics about the entertainment industry, although Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo were not as interested in women in the entertainment industry as Da Liu, but some interesting things were said in Da Liu's mouth and listened to with relish.
In the afternoon, Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo left the teahouse and returned to the middle of the mountain, and on the way, Song Yuanchao suddenly asked Qin Zhengguo a word.
"Do you think Boss Liu is just cooperating today?"
"Why do you ask?" Qin Zhengguo was slightly stunned and asked, "Didn't he ask you to make an appointment just to talk about cooperation?" What else can you do but cooperate? And his factory in Pengcheng is about to be built, how can such a large-scale factory open the situation if there are no stable orders? Of course, maybe it's because of our Shenghua channels in the mainland, and he also plans to promote his products to the mainland through Shenghua's channels, right? Isn't this the case for businessmen, focusing on interests, Boss Liu can make the company so big in just a few years, it is impossible to have such a business sense. ”
Song Yuanchao smiled, as if he recognized Qin Zhengguo's judgment, but he was still a little confused in his heart.
Although on the surface, Da Liu took the initiative to invite them to discuss cooperation, such cooperation is also a good thing for both parties. I don't know why, Song Yuanchao always felt that there seemed to be something unknown hidden under Da Liu's smiling face, could he have any other thoughts? Song Yuanchao couldn't figure it out for a while, but no matter what, as Qin Zhengguo said, the cooperation between the two sides is indeed not a bad thing for each other.
In the following days, Xu Hui negotiated cooperation with Da Liu on behalf of Sheng Hua, and everything went smoothly. Although it will take some time for Da Liu's factory in Pengcheng to be officially put into production because it has not yet been completed, this does not hinder the foundation of cooperation between the two sides.
Moreover, the mainland cooperation company is still in the process of being in progress, and the current output and supporting factories have not affected the upcoming business explosion. When these cooperative companies are all completed, Da Liu's factory in Pengcheng has also been successfully put into operation, which is just right in terms of time.
Song Yuanchao stayed in Xiangjiang for half a month, and Qin Zhengguo set off for the United States a few days before Song Yuanchao returned to Jinling. After Qin Zhengguo left, Song Yuanchao was also leaving, and there was still a lot of work to be dealt with on Si Te's side, and the affairs on Xiangjiang's side were almost done.
Bidding farewell to his wife and children, and at the same time asking Ying Caixia and Xu Hui to help take care of the family, Song Yuanchao embarked on a return trip.
On the first day of returning to Jinling, Song Yuanchao was busy with work, holding meetings for several days in a row, and listening to the reports of his subordinates on the company's temporary absence.
In Song Yuanchao's absence, the general manager Ruth and the vice president Zheng Guoyuan managed the company in an orderly manner, especially the latter took on the heavy burden, and the project he was responsible for was carried out very smoothly and the effect was unexpectedly good.
Zheng Guoyuan is indeed a talent, he just didn't have a platform to show his talent before. And now, Song Yuanchao reuses him, and his actual rights in Site are almost the same as that of Ruth, the general manager, especially in the two major areas of market and production, Zheng Guoyuan's talent has been recognized by everyone.
Because of the fermentation of the previous overseas award-winning news and the broadcast of classic advertisements, the whole country knew about the beverage products of the company for a while, and because of the drink, it also affected the reputation of other products, such as instant noodles.
The effect of this trick used by Song Yuanchao is very significant, the supply of goods in various places is in short supply, and the main factory and the branches have begun to work in three shifts, but they still can't meet the crazy demand of the market.
After several days of continuous meetings, Song Yuanchao passed the decision to expand production capacity again with the support of everyone, in addition to adding new equipment to the main plant, the assembly line of the branch factories in various places was also determined. In addition, the location and establishment of three branch factories have been confirmed.
Song Yuanchao's office, Zheng Guoyuan reported some progress in the work to Song Yuanchao alone, Song Yuanchao listened carefully and nodded: "There is basically no problem, just follow this plan, if you still have any difficulties here, report to me directly, if I am not there, communicate with Ruth more, I have already said hello to her side." ”
Zheng Guoyuan is now in good spirits, and he has long since lost his previous decadence, although he is busy every day, but for him, such busyness is very meaningful, once a person is busy and finds the goal of struggle, his spirit is different.
Zheng Guoyuan told Song Yuanchao with a smile that General Manager Ruth had communicated with him and was very supportive of his work, and the asset department (the original finance department) had also prepared follow-up allocations, and there was no problem with funds.
"However, Song Dong, as he often says, is that the problem of personnel is still difficult to solve, and this capacity expansion is not only on the side of the main factory, but also on the personnel gap of each branch. Although the company has made the decision to enter the internship in advance of its subordinate technical schools and technical secondary schools, even if these young people enter our company, there are still shortcomings in terms of personnel. ”
"In addition, not only the sales of beverages have skyrocketed, but also the sales of instant noodle products. I think we have to walk on two legs, instant noodle products have been one of the focus of our development since their launch, and the market in the past two years has also proved the correctness of the company's choice. ”
】
"We can't wait for the follow-up instant noodle market to explode and then find a way to solve the production capacity, I think we should learn the lesson of this time and lay out in advance."
"Do you have any specific ideas?" Song Yuanchao agreed with Zheng Guoyuan's suggestion, and he decided to suppress the publicity operation of instant noodles with this in mind, because although Song Yuanchao felt that overseas awards and publicity would have a good impact on the company, he did not expect that the impact would be so great.
With a series of follow-up operations, I originally thought that Site was ready for the market to explode, but the facts told Song Yuanchao that this preparation still underestimated the potential of the market.
There is a sentence that flashed in Song Yuanchao's mind, "Be bolder, take bigger steps......", doesn't the current situation prove this?
"Yes!" Zheng Guoyuan had already calculated, and immediately told Song Yuanchao that the best way at present was to directly separate the two products of beverages and instant noodles within the company and form two business divisions, with a separate division responsible for a large category of products.
The company started as a beverage, and the instant noodle product was a new product promoted by Song Yuanchao before the official establishment of the company. Therefore, after the establishment of the company, the two products were merged together, that is to say, whether it is the main factory or each branch, it is only divided into workshops and assembly lines in the factory, which produces both beverages and instant noodles.
Before, this was fine, but now it doesn't.
Despite the outbreak of the market, different types of products have some hidden problems in terms of raw materials, production and sales, and these problems are becoming more and more prominent at present.
Zheng Guoyuan believes that it is the best opportunity to divest the company's subordinate factories to directly separate the two types of products, and the headquarters will set up a special responsible business department.
As for the name of the business department, Zheng Guoyuan also thought about it, one can be called the beverage business department, and the other can be called the instant noodle business department. As a branch of the headquarters, the business unit is similar to the existence of a sales company, and is solely responsible for the products to which it belongs.
There are many advantages to this, and Song Yuanchao's insight certainly understands. However, this also means that the company has changed from directly controlling its subsidiaries to controlling its subsidiaries through the product division, and there is an extra hand in the middle, which will inevitably form a huge and refined corporate structure.
Moreover, once these two divisions are established, their status is inherently higher than that of ordinary departments. According to Zheng Guoyuan's vision, the business unit will set up a general manager and a deputy general manager, with the general manager at the level of vice president to director of the group, and the level of deputy general manager from director level to department manager level.
Song Yuanchao didn't speak immediately, smoking a cigarette and thinking quietly, weighing the pros and cons. He thought about it for a while, and still felt that the establishment of a product division was the best way at present, of course, once the product division was established, the pattern of "large companies" would be correspondingly formed, and many of the management of enterprises would gradually tend to "large company diseases" over time.
In Song Yuanchao's view, this problem does exist, and the more time passes, the greater the power of the product division, and the company will gradually tend to be conservative in the future.
Thinking of this, Song Yuanchao smiled dumbly, which was also too far away.
Even if this is the case, it will be many years later, not to mention that when the company reaches a certain scale, large corporationization and large company disease will inevitably occur, which is a problem that all companies cannot escape. But that's the future, and it's going to be a long time before we get to that point, and it's the best thing to do right now.
Song Yuanchao asked Zheng Guoyuan to make a preliminary plan for the two product divisions, such a major event is absolutely not possible to be discussed by the two of them alone, and it must be decided through the company's internal meeting.
Seeing that Song Yuanchao agreed to his suggestion after hesitating, Zheng Guoyuan was very happy, and promised to complete the plan as soon as possible.
After getting off work, Song Yuanchao did not go home, and went directly to Lin Daoyuan's residence.
When she arrived at the place, Chen Yuqin was at home, and she was very happy to see Song Yuanchao coming, and pulled Song Yuanchao to ask some things about Lin Yan and the child in Xiangjiang.
Although there is usually phone contact, but people do not go to Xiangjiang in the mainland, Chen Yuqin, as a mother and grandmother, is still a little uneasy, and after Song Yuanchao told her that Lin Yan and the child are fine, Chen Yuqin smiled.
