Chapter 675 - Can't Be Indifferent
Because he has been in Changda Group for more than a year, Chen Xueliang is also constantly observing this private enterprise, what he saw and heard in the post not only confirmed Guan Yuntian's statement, but also felt that the chairman was indeed low-key, although Changda Group has long been the largest and best private enterprise in the province, but even if chatting, Guan Yuntian is also quite restrained, in front of his subordinates from beginning to end without half a sentence of boasting, what is stated is only the truth.
The more so, the more it can stimulate Chen Xueliang's curiosity, he has always had a question, Changda Group started with the physical manufacturing industry, after industrial upgrading, in the field of high-end manufacturing is also doing very well, several major plates, auto parts and high-capacity batteries are famous all over the country, the pharmaceutical industry is also catching up, in the case of the physical manufacturing industry, why spend so much energy, invest so many resources into the pension industry?
Since knowing this matter, this question has been bothering him, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Chen Xueliang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Guan, Changda Group has made good achievements in the field of high-end manufacturing, manufacturing is the company's business, a few years ago into the pension industry, I don't know what considerations?" Guan Yuntian is happy to answer such questions,
"To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of business philosophy. That's right, manufacturing is the business of Changda Group, and after industrial upgrading, we have broken out of the world in the field of high-end manufacturing, but don't forget the ancient adage mentioned earlier, no matter how good the current performance is, people who do business will never have the right to sit back and relax!"
"That's right. However, it is a very understandable move to continue to expand the scale or increase the variety in the manufacturing field and enter the pension industry...... Everyone knows that it is not easy to deal with the elderly, and it is even more difficult to make money from them!"
"High-end manufacturing is the main business of Changda Group, we plan to continue to make efforts, and now new materials and new drugs have been identified as the development and growth direction of the group company for a long time in the future. However, according to our judgment, in order to meet the needs of social development, the service industry will have a lot of room for growth, and in the face of this rare opportunity, enterprises cannot remain indifferent. "Guan Yuntian said.
"However, the pension industry ...... Is it a good opportunity from the perspective of the market and earnings?" In a relaxed atmosphere, Chen Xueliang regarded himself as a student, and he believed that the chairman would not blame him for this almost unreasonable question.
"Your question is understandable, and in fact, there are quite a few people who have asked similar questions in person. The pension industry does not seem to be easy to do, dealing with a group of old people who are about to die, not only troublesome, but also difficult to make money, but this industry also has its own advantages, that is, the market can be expected, if it is done well, the income is relatively stable. ”
"Mr. Guan, I don't understand the actual situation, the market, with the advent of an aging society, the pension market should be bigger and bigger, this is easy to understand. As for the profits, to be honest, I really can't think of any way to make money in the pension industry? Those elderly people have been frugal all their lives, and letting them spend money is like cutting their flesh!"
"What I want to say is that your judgment is a bit one-sided, it is a fact that the old people are thrifty, but it is not as picky as you say, they will still spend the money that should be spent, but they are not as generous as the young people. Dealing with the elderly, of course, you have to be conscientious, as long as you operate with integrity, this business is not as difficult as you think. "Guan Yuntian said.
"Having said that, I think Changda Group still has a unique set of business methods, otherwise, it would not be easy to make a profit in this industry. It is rare to be able to achieve the current scale of the pension project, looking at the whole country. ”
"The scale of Changda Holdings' pension business is indeed among the best in the country, although the profit is not high, but each sub-project can maintain profitability, otherwise, we do not have the capital to continue to expand. To say that the management method, there are no more than three, the first scale of operation, the second standardization, intelligent management, the third as far as possible to use automation equipment, as far as possible to reduce labor costs. "Guan Yuntian said.
"Standardized management can only be done by real large enterprises, scale operation, intelligent management, large-scale use of automation equipment and other measures, which require huge financial resources to do the back-end, and ordinary enterprises can not implement even if they think of it. In this way, if there is no mature management system and strong financial resources, other enterprises will not dare to set foot in the pension industry!" Chen Xueliang was impressed by the strong comprehensive strength of Changda Group.
"Yes, don't think that the threshold of the pension industry is low, if you want to do a good job in this industry, it is really not so simple. Without a standardized and intelligent management system, no matter how large the scale is, the weak profit base may be eaten away. Because the pension industry belongs to the people's livelihood projects supported by the government, many people want to get involved in this industry, and some enterprises and individuals with a certain strength have also invested in pension projects, but the final outcome is not enough. ”
"It looks like the inconspicuous pension industry, completely beyond the imagination of outsiders, not to mention vigorous development, want to gain a firm foothold in this industry, only funds are far from enough, without a set of mature and scientific management system, it is not good to do pension projects. Mr. Guan, I used to work in the catering industry as a manager, and I also belong to the service industry, I don't know what is the difference between pension and catering management?"
"This ...... Guan Yuntian thought for a while,
"In fact, I am not familiar with the management of the catering industry, since both belong to the service industry, I think there are commonalities between them, there are also differences, if you are interested, you can find the opportunity to experience the pension industry for yourself. ”...... Guan Yuntian originally wanted Guan Linshan to be responsible for negotiating with the other party, so she naturally took over the overall management of the entire pension business, until she finally became the successor of Changda Group.
Who knew that Guan Linshan had no interest in this, she had no plans to do so at all. In desperation, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi agreed to select and train the future successor of Changda Group for the society and the group company, through a series of observation and assessment, Chen Xueliang and Xiang Fei stood out among many young managers, but Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi remained silent and did not announce any personnel decisions, but secretly focused on Chen Xueliang and Xiang Fei, and implemented more careful observation and stricter assessment of these two people without attracting the attention of the outside world.
Due to Guan Linshan's shirk, the relevant departments of several prefecture-level cities directly contacted Guan Yuntian, and in the past one or two months, they sent an invitation to Guan Yuntian, which really could not be delayed any longer, and Guan Yuntian felt that the further expansion of the pension project was imperative.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guan Yuntian wanted to involve the two key candidates and feel the decision-making process of the project, after all, this is also an important part of enterprise management, and in this process, they can also conduct an in-depth and comprehensive investigation of their comprehensive quality.
When talking to Ye Jiayi about this idea, she also felt that this was an excellent opportunity to examine and train young people, but she put forward different opinions on the specific practices.
"In order not to arouse speculation from the outside world, I think there should be some cover-up. ”
"You mean ......?"
"If you don't want the outside world to know that Chen Xueliang and Xiang Fei are the successors of the group company, it is necessary to cover up. Ye Jiayi said.
"Well, only the two of us know about the successor so far, and it's not yet time to announce it to the public. Cover it up...... Why don't you separate the two of them and do a separate project each?"
"It's nice to do projects separately, but I don't think it's enough. ”
"Oh----, what do you think is the best thing to do?"
In addition to Chen Xueliang and Xiang Fei, two young managers will be selected to participate in it, and the four of them will each be responsible for a project under your personal leadership, and the first project that is about to start should be in charge of one of the other two, so as not to cause speculation from the outside world. Ye Jiayi has taken all the details into account.
"This method is good, it can completely hide people's eyes!" Guan Yuntian agreed. So, in the name of secondment, the company selected two candidates from the preliminary inspection, Guan Yuntian took one of them to participate in the investment negotiation with a prefecture-level city in the province, because it has been in contact many times, and the conditions provided by the other party are very favorable, the two sides hit it off, and soon signed a project investment agreement.
After everything was negotiated, Guan Yuntian appointed the young man as the project leader, responsible for the day-to-day management of the project implementation process.
Before launching the second pension project investment plan, Ye Jiayi told Xiang Fei, executive deputy manager of the new materials branch, that he asked him to temporarily hand over the work at hand to the head of the branch, and was ready to be seconded to Changda Holdings' pension project to help for a period of time.
When Xiang Fei came to the door of the chairman's office, before reaching out and knocking on the door, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, after all, this was his first time in the chairman's office, and he thought that he was just a middle-level manager, several levels worse than the chairman.
After settling down, Xiang Fei still raised his right hand and knocked on the door a few times, hearing it
After the permission of "please come in", he pushed open the door, stood at the door and said timidly: "Mr. Guan, Mr. Ye asked me to come to you." ”
"You're Xiang Fei, right? Guan Yuntian put down the work at hand. Xiang Fei closed the door and took a few steps forward,
"Mr. Ye said that the company wants to seconded me to help with the pension project of Changda Holdings, Mr. Guan, when will I go?"
"You sit down first. Guan Yuntian pointed to a chair opposite,
"Tell me about your situation, how long have you been working in the new materials branch?"
