Chapter 80: Loyalty or Competence
After the family of three washed and returned to the house, Long Chuan asked, "Father, mother, who is the Cen Immortal Elder we saw in the Treasure Pavilion today?
Long Zheng nodded and said, "Chuan'er, yes." That Immortal Cen came by self-recommendation and came to our Treasure Pavilion to serve as a treasure connoisseur. ”
Long Chuan asked in surprise, "Dad, the Immortal Chief is also willing to come to our Treasure Pavilion to do things?"
Long Zheng sighed: "Immortal Cen said to himself, he is a casual cultivator, no sect and no sect, and he feels that it is difficult to make great progress in cultivating immortals, so it is better to do things for our Treasure Pavilion." He just asked us to provide him with some supplies for cultivating immortals, so that he wouldn't run around on his own. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, how much material did we provide to Immortal Cen Chang?"
Long Zheng said: "Immortal Cen is not very demanding. The supplies we provided to him were similar to those little immortals we had provided to the little immortals in the mansion. ”
Long Chuanxin said: "So, that Cen Immortal Elder is also in the realm of Qi cultivation. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, can't we identify those things ourselves?"
Long Zheng said: "Of course we can identify those things ourselves. However, in several cities, some people from the immortal gates will also be specially hired to help identify. After all, the people in the Xianmen know those things best, and they are more accurate and faster to identify. ”
When Long Chuan heard this, he was even more surprised, and asked, "Dad, are you saying that there are people in every city in such an immortal gate?"
Long Zheng sighed again and said, "Chuan'er, although my Long family has not been able to produce a single immortal cultivator for hundreds of years, according to these immortal chiefs, cultivating immortals is not so easy. Most of the people who have fallen into our Sifang City to appraise the treasures of various cities are casual cultivators, or people who have been persuaded by some immortal sects to retreat to the world. These immortal chiefs may all be the same as Cen Immortal Chiefs. Each city uses these immortal chiefs, just to take what they need, which is beneficial to both sides. ”
Long Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Dad, the child met in the Treasure Pavilion today, and the seventh grandfather seems to be very experienced in treasure appreciation. Where did Seventh Grandpa's treasure appreciation technique come from?"
Long Zheng said: "Chuan'er, your seventh grandfather has been working in the Treasure Pavilion since he was a child, and he has seen and handled a lot, so he naturally has experience." ”
Long Chuan asked, "Dad, then why did Seventh Grandpa have different identification results from Immortal Cen Chang?"
Long Zheng said: "Although your seventh grandfather is experienced, he is only a mortal person after all. As a person in the Immortal Gate, Cen Xianchang should have a special method in the Immortal Gate. However, we do not know these methods. Even if you know, you probably won't be able to learn it. ”
Long Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, do the Seventh Grandpa and Immortal Cen often have different identification results?"
Li Yun said: "Chuan'er, it's not very often. Your Seventh Grandfather will only ask some questions when he thinks that Immortal Cen has identified something too high-grade. ”
Long Chuan asked, "What is the general result?"
Li Yun said: "Cen Xianchang is a good temper. As long as your seventh grandfather insists, Immortal Cen will generally follow him. After all, your seventh grandfather is the big treasurer. In the end, how much can be redeemed, it is up to your seventh grandfather to decide. ”
Long Chuanxin said: "The seventh grandfather is an elbow turned inward, for fear that the Long family will suffer." ”
Long Chuan asked again: "Mother, what does the child mean, those things that are different in the appraisal results, have they been determined in the end, and who is the right one to identify?"
Li Yun said: "Those who come to sell those things, if the grade of Cen Xianchang's appraisal is higher than the grade of your seventh grandfather's appraisal, and your seventh grandfather insists on buying them at a lower grade price, most people will take them to other places to sell." The controversial things that were finally sold to the Treasure Pavilion were kept by my father and mother, and they were not sent to the city. According to the high send, the mother is afraid that if Cen Xianchang makes a mistake, Fucheng will blame. Press the low one, and my mother is worried that if Cen Xianchang is right, we will suffer. ”
When Long Chuan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Mother, where are those things?"
Li Yun said: "My mother locked them up and put them under my mother's bed." Mother pondered, when our Long family also has an immortal cultivator, or when the ancestors of our Long family who joined the Immortal Sect come back, show them. ”
The dragon legend said, "Mother, can you show the child? The child also wants to see it." ”
After Li Yun glanced at Long Zheng, he turned around and entered the back room. After a while, Li Yun came out of the back room, holding a small box in his hand.
After Li Yun opened the small box, there were two jade boxes, one large and one small. Li Yun opened the two jade boxes, only to see that there were dozens of stones in the big jade box. Inside the small jade box, there is only one stone.
Long Chuan walked up to his mother-in-law, gently brushed the two jade boxes with his hand, and said in his mind: "Xiaoqing, help me take a look!"
Xiaoqing's voice immediately said, "Those dozens of stones are similar to the one that the half-sized boy sold today." In addition, the stone has more true elements in it, and it is also more refined. ”
Long Chuan returned to the chair and sat down, and said, "Mother, why are you using a jade box? Why are there two jade boxes?"
Li Yun covered the jade box and box, locked it again, and said, "Immortal Cen said that everything that is identified as a top grade must be packed in a jade box, otherwise after a long time, the true yuan inside will run away." Inside the small box, Cen Xianchang said that it was better than other high-grade products, what is called a middle-level lower grade. We don't understand either. If Immortal Cen Chang's appraisal is correct, just these dozens of stones, our Long family will take a big advantage. If you communicate with Fucheng, a piece of high-grade can be worth a hundred medium-grade products. What kind of middle-level low-grade product is this, according to Cen Xianchang, can be worth a hundred ordinary high-grade products. ”
Xiaoqing sighed in Long Chuan's mind: "Long Chuan, it seems that your Long family has pushed away a lot of good things." I mean, relatively good stuff. ”
Long Chuan let out a "hmm" in his mind, groaned for a while, and said, "Mother, since Immortal Cen Chang's means of appreciating treasures are so strong, why don't you let him be the chief treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion?"
After Long Zheng and Li Yun glanced at each other in surprise, Li Yun said, "Chuan'er, don't dare to say this. The Treasure Pavilion is one of the most important industries of our Long family, how can we let outsiders take charge of things? No matter what your seventh grandfather says, he is also a member of our Long family, and he is loyal to the Long family. Even if we buy less good things, we are willing. ”
When Long Chuan heard this, he was speechless for a while.
Well, again, it's a question of loyalty or competence.
In another time and space, one of the most entangled problems that Long Chuan has seen many bosses struggle with is this. Many enterprises, especially many domestic enterprises, especially private enterprises, must use "their own people" even if they have slightly inferior capabilities.
Long Chuan has seen many companies, and even put employees' loyalty to the enterprise in the supreme position, as the only criterion to measure the quality of an employee. There are even some companies, to put it simply, the company may fire some capable employees, but it will definitely not fire any employees who are loyal enough to the company. And the standard for them to measure whether an employee is loyal to the company is either whether the employee is a relative of their own, or whether the employee is obedient to the boss, or whether the employee has worked in the company for a long time.
In Long Chuan's view, for enterprises, employee loyalty is extremely important, but the ability can never be ignored. In certain periods, competence is even more important than loyalty.
When an enterprise starts, it does need some people with high loyalty, or even some of the boss's own family members, to work hard with the boss regardless of remuneration. But when an enterprise develops to a certain scale and stage, ability is often more important.
The experience of veteran employees is important, but once the way people think and behave is formed, it is even more difficult to change it. And times are always advancing. If an enterprise still sticks to the original model and relies entirely on loyalty, and those old employees with high loyalty cannot keep up with the progress of the times and the industry, they may become an obstacle to the progress of the enterprise. If you don't follow the move, you will only be thrown behind, or even eliminated. Experience is a good thing, but experience can kill people.
This is like many people are now using Alipay and WeChat payment platforms. If you still feel more comfortable withdrawing money from your passbook or going to the bank counter to transfer money, it's not impossible. But with a little finger on someone's finger, you can spend hours waiting in line. And in the past few hours, others have done more things.
Looking at those successful foreign and domestic enterprises, few of them pay lip service to loyalty every day. They manage the business by relying on a mature system. Even when it comes to retaining employees, they rely on sound rewards and incentives. After all, in any place, in the employment relationship, there is never loyalty without a reason. What's more, the vast majority of people come out to work to support their families, if the pay is not proportional to the gain, how many people are willing to give their true loyalty to the enterprise?
For a moment, Long Chuan felt that his head was extremely big.
Long Chuan felt that since his mother had made her position so categorical, if she wanted to make a change in this matter, she could only think about it slowly. Perhaps, after a while, the few things he said today have an effect, and his parents and other elders of the Long family are willing to try this matter. Moreover, the character of immortal cultivators like Cen Immortal Chang also has to be investigated. Otherwise, if he makes a bad move, he will be in great trouble.
When the time comes, I can't say that I will sacrifice the KPI as a big killer. However, KPIs also have to be carefully considered and how to use them here. When this thing is used well, it is the KeyPerformanceIndex, which will be helpful to performance. If you don't use it well, it's KillingPerformanceIndex, which will only backfire.
