Chapter 392: The Key to the Problem
After the transfer of Haitian Business Center, Lao Chu returned to the parent company, his ideal is, of course, to enter the management of Fangyuan Holdings, but the reality is far from his ideal, he not only could not enter the company's management, but also was arranged to the production line to do administrative management, which made Lao Chu unacceptable, so he angrily applied for early retirement.
Lao Chu thought that the management would keep him, but he didn't expect that on the third day of the application, the personnel and labor department of Fangyuan Holdings notified him to go through the pre-retirement procedures, which made Lao Chu both disappointed and disappointed. Although everyone knows that Haitian Business Center has become an unfinished project, it is completely caused by the rupture of the capital chain, and it has nothing to do with Lao Chu, the person in charge of the project, but Fangyuan Holdings, as a listed company, has made the project with an investment of several hundred million yuan an unfinished project, and there must always be an explanation to all shareholders and investors in the secondary market, so Lao Chu naturally became the man responsible for the failure of Haitian Business Center.
In addition, considering the purpose of cultivating and reusing young cadres, Lao Chu, who is about to reach retirement age, is unlikely to enter the management of Fangyuan Holdings. The company's board of directors arranged him to do administrative management on the production line, which was just a stopgap measure, in fact, it was to arrange a position for him casually, so that he could mix until he retired.
The management of Fangyuan Holdings also did not expect that Lao Chu not only did not accept the position arranged by the company, but also applied for early retirement, and several leaders of the board of directors believed that since Lao Chu did not accept the company's arrangement, then meet his wish and let him go home early.
Lao Chu went through the pre-retirement procedures and stopped going to the unit the next day. After staying at home for a week, he felt empty when he didn't go to work, and when he was bored, he remembered Guan Yuntian, and he didn't know if he was in their company's office in the provincial capital, or went back to the company's headquarters.
"I wanted to call you in advance, but I was afraid that if you went back to the company's headquarters, the call would not disturb your work, anyway, I was idle, so I came to the office to have a look, and after inquiring with the staff, I found out that your office is here. Lao Chu explained.
"Please sit down!" Guan Yuntian let Lao Chu onto the sofa, "You are already idle, which means that your company leaders have approved your application for pre-retirement?"
"The day after we called, the company's personnel and labor department informed me to go through the pre-retirement procedures, and I had not been at work for a week. ”
"When you're not working, what are you doing at home?"
"I didn't do anything, I just stayed, I was bored, so I wanted to come out and go around. ”
Guan Yuntian made a cup of tea with a paper cup and put it on the coffee table in front of Lao Chu, he also sat down opposite Lao Chu, and pondered one thing in his mind, and said after a few minutes: "Do you want to continue to stay at home and live a complete retirement life, or do you have other plans?"
"I've been at home for a week and I'm bored, but I've already quit, so what can I do if I'm not at home?"
"How's your health?"
"I'm in good health! Except for a little high blood pressure, there is no other problem, in fact, people nowadays are not very old at all in their sixties. By the way, I see that Lao Ding, the financial director of your Changda Group, is older than me. Old Chu said.
Guan Yuntian nodded, "Do you want to come out and continue working?"
Although he felt that Guan Yuntian had something to tell him, this sentence still made Lao Chu feel a little surprised, "Continue to work, where are you, and who are you working for?"
"Here, of course, I work for Changda Real Estate Company. "Guan Yuntian said.
Lao Chu couldn't believe his ears a little, "Mr. Guan, do you mean to let me come here and work for Changda Real Estate Company?"
"What, don't want to? Hey, don't want to forget it, when I didn't say anything. ”
"I didn't say I didn't want to! I can do whatever I want to work here!" Lao Chu was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart.
"You can do anything? Hmph, let you do chores, isn't that overkill? Of course, it's to do your job and engage in management. "Guan Yuntian said.
"It's my job to do management, but I'm wondering, what kind of business are you going to let me manage?"
"Now that the name has been changed, it is called Changda Group Haitian Business Center, and I plan to let you continue to be the project leader, but not as the legal representative. ”
"Mr. Guan, aren't you personally in charge of this project now? I'm afraid I don't manage it as well as you. "Lao Chu is very self-aware.
"The work has been straightened out, the project construction is on the right track, Changda Group headquarters and Changda Real Estate Company still have a lot of things that I need to deal with personally, I can't stick here for a long time, so I want to hire you as the executive manager." "Guan Yuntian said.
"Thank you, Mr. Guan, for your appreciation! Lao Chu immediately expressed his gratitude.
"But I declare in advance that this is different from Fangyuan Holdings, Changda Group has its own management methods, I don't know if you can adapt to it?"
"It's nothing more than stricter management, fair and transparent, selfless, etc., Mr. Guan, you should know that when I managed this project in Fangyuan Holding Company, more than 30 million unreasonable expenses, basically no one for me, that's not self-boasting, right? Don't forget, it's a state-owned holding company, I can do self-discipline, in a private enterprise like Changda Group, the environment is fresher, in addition to doing my own job, I won't have any thoughts. ”
"I believe that. With all due respect, it is precisely because I value this characteristic of yours that I am relieved to hand over such a big mess to you. In addition, in Changda Group, I will delegate the power that should be delegated to the end, and will never affect your work efficiency because the delegation of power is not in place. "Guan Yuntian said.
"I believe it will be a pleasure to work here. ”
"Mr. Chu, when do you expect to be able to take office, do you need to discuss it with your family?"
"I can go to work at any time, my family is very supportive of my affairs at all times, and there is nothing to discuss. Seeing Lao Chu suffocating at home, his wife and children wished that he would find something to do.
At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Guan Yuntian convened a meeting of all the employees of the Changda Real Estate Office in the provincial capital, although everyone knew Lao Chu, but Guan Yuntian still made a solemn introduction to everyone, "This Mr. Chu, maybe everyone knows, but he now has a new identity, he has become a member of our Changda Real Estate Company in the provincial office, from today on, he is everyone's new colleague." ”
At the meeting, Guan Yuntian announced a new appointment decision, appointing Lao Chu as the executive deputy commander of Changda Group's Haitian Business Center, responsible for the daily management of the project construction.
After the arrangements were made, Guan Yuntian returned to the headquarters of Changda Group in the afternoon of the same day, according to the news revealed by Deputy Director Cao of the Land and Resources Bureau, the next commercial land auction in the provincial capital,
It will be held in a month and a half, this is an important opportunity, once missed, it will be another year to wait, the opportunity is not to be lost, Guan Yuntian decided to plan early.
After all, Changda Real Estate Company's entry into the provincial real estate development market is not just for a Haitian business center, their goal is a broader commercial residential market, and in Guan Yuntian's mind, this goal has never wavered.
Before preparing to participate in the land auction in the provincial capital, Guan Yuntian first had to have an in-depth understanding of the financial situation of Changda Group, on the one hand, he has been absent from the company's headquarters for more than a month, and in addition, he took over the Haitian Business Center and spent more than 600 million funds, and now he is really not clear about the financial situation of the group company.
Guan Yuntian had already heard about the price of commercial land in the provincial capital, and if he wanted to participate in the land auction, he did not have considerable financial strength, so he did not dare to act rashly.
After communicating with Lao Ding, the chief financial officer, he learned that the funds that the group company can use now are only two or three hundred million, Guan Yuntian does not understand this, "How can you have this money?"
"Mr. Guan, the funds that the group company can use at any time originally had more than 100 million, and it took over the Haitian Business Center, which cost nearly 700 million at once, plus some time ago because of the cheap price of raw materials, Mr. Ye saved nearly 100 million raw materials for auto parts, so there are only so many funds that can be taken out now. Lao Ding explained.
"In my impression, we should have more than 100 million yuan of funds at our disposal, right? I remember you once said that in addition to liquidity, Changda Group has more than 2 billion yuan of funds that can be deployed, and this is what you said in the first half of the year. Guan Yuntian is a mathematics major, and he has a natural affinity for numbers, and as long as he hears it once, he can remember it for a long time.
"I said this, but the more than 2 billion includes a large part of the accounts receivable, so to speak, if all the accounts receivable are collected, Changda Group's own funds can reach more than 300 million!"
"There are so many accounts receivable, why don't the relevant departments hurry up and collect them? Don't you put pressure on them?" Guan Yuntian rarely used such a tone when talking about work with senior executives.
"For any enterprise, the proportion of accounts receivable is too high, it is abnormal, I know this very well, so I have talked to the relevant departments many times to ask them to step up the collection of accounts receivable, and they have also made some efforts, but with little effect. Lao Ding said.
"What's the reason for that? It's natural to repay the debt, so how can it get little effect?"
"Mr. Guan, last year's global financial crisis, the impact on the domestic economy, is gradually emerging, Changda Group's customers, and we have almost established a good cooperative relationship, the previous payment is very timely, since the end of last year, the speed of payment is slow. I have talked with the grassroots salesmen, and they believe that the customer is definitely not deliberately occupying the payment, but the inventory is increasing and the turnover is not effective. ”
"I haven't asked for more than a month, how is the situation on the side of Changda Real Estate Company?" Guan Yuntian said.
"Judging from the financial statements they sent a few days ago, the vacancy rate of commercial housing in Changda Real Estate has increased significantly compared with the same period last year, and more available funds have been occupied here. ”
In fact, compared with the reduction in the speed of payment collection in the manufacturing industry, the funds precipitated due to the increase in the vacancy rate of commercial housing should account for the vast majority, which is the key to the problem!"
