The next topic Zhang Shuo discussed was about the establishment of an office by Qingcheng Technology.
"You see, first Qade Bird Interactive Entertainment has established game studios in Magic City, Jiangxia, Shancheng and Jingshi; with Qinghe Technology setting up offices in various provinces, the holding company will also set up four regional branches;
Qingcheng Technology now also wants to set up offices in big cities."
"Everything has come together."
"I'm just wondering, can these regional resources of the company be further integrated to avoid resource redundancy, or even overstaffing, and a waste of headquarters resources?"
Setting up offices and branches also costs money.
Not to mention anything else, the annual rent and employee wages alone are a considerable expense.
And out of the sight of headquarters supervision, it is easier to fish.
"Let me tell you my opinion first."
Wu Sheyuan was the first to speak this time, "First of all, the holding company and its subsidiaries have set up offices and branches one after another. This is definitely a good thing. It proves that the company's business is no longer limited to the corner of Binhai City and has begun to expand across the country.
The market is an important indicator that a company's scale has developed to a certain extent."
This flattery is done without leaving any trace.
high!!!
An honest person like Pei Weiping would not be able to say something similar.
Don't think that industry leaders won't flatter you. In fact, it's just the opposite. The more powerful you are, your emotional intelligence is usually very high, and your ability to flatter someone is even more proficient.
It's just that people only flatter a very small number of people.
"As for whether we should integrate regional resources, it depends on Mr. Zhang's overall plan for the company's future." Wu Sheyuan asked a question.
"How to say?"
Zhang Shuo also suddenly became interested.
"If, Mr. Zhang, your expectation for Bu Ya is to adopt a group development strategy and integrate subsidiaries into business divisions or business groups for unified management in the future, then integration is necessary."
"on the contrary."
"If we adopt a dotted grid development strategy, the ultimate goal is to allow subsidiaries to develop independently, and the holding company returns to the investment side and is only responsible for asset management and control. Then I think there is no need for integration."
Wu Sheyuan gave his judgment.
"That makes sense."
Zhang Shuo understood what Wu Sheyuan meant.
But the problem is that he still hasn't figured out what development model Sprout Holdings will follow in the future and what kind of organizational structure it will adopt.
Yijia Holdings has not yet reached the stage where it really needs to reshape its organizational structure.
Even though Sprout Holdings is now valued at more than 10 billion and has entered the top 100 companies in Binhai City, it has become somewhat famous, but more than one-third of it is fixed asset investment.
What is really valuable now are actually Weixin’s three mobile games.
Therefore, it is still a start-up company in essence, and of course it does not need an overly complicated organizational structure.
It's basically vertical management.
Secondly, Zhang Shuo cannot decide what kind of organizational structure Sprout Holdings should adopt.
It mainly depends on how big the subsidiary has grown to be, and whether it can face external storms, develop independently, and develop business independently after breaking away from the protection of the holding company.
It also depends on whether the subsidiary has a management team that can truly act independently.
The above two points.
To be honest, among the first-tier subsidiaries, whether it is Qingcheng Retail, Qinghe Technology, or even Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, which has achieved profitability, they are not satisfied yet.
Not to mention, Qingcheng Technology was just established today.
Zhang Shuo still holds the position of CEO of Qinghe Technology to this day. He is still an indispensable soul figure for Qinghe Technology, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and Qingcheng Technology.
So it is too early to talk about organizational structure adjustments.
In essence, Sprout Holdings is still just a grocery store run by Zhang Shuo himself.
There is still a long way to go.
Therefore, Zhang Shuo now has no way to answer Wu Sheyuan's question.
It's very embarrassing.
Fortunately, Zhang Shuo had also experienced it, and he did not rush to draw conclusions. Instead, he looked at Pei Weiping, who was silent the whole time except for resolving Jiang Yue's embarrassment at critical moments.
"Mr. Pei, tell me what you think."
"Ah, me, me?" Pei Weiping was obviously surprised and said hesitantly: "Mr. Zhang, this doesn't seem to be within my scope of authority, so I won't do whatever I want to do."
Really cautious.
Even if you have been promoted, you are not willing to go a step further and only express your opinions in the area in which you are responsible.
"Don't!"
Zhang Shuo waved his hand vigorously and said solemnly: "You are the general manager of Qingcheng Retail, but you are also an executive of the holding company. Even if you are not the decision-maker of the holding company, you are at least a consultant, right? Of course you have the power, no, someone
To a certain extent, they are even obliged to express their opinions on the company’s various businesses.”
As the company's scale expanded rapidly, Zhang Shuo had no confidence that he alone could be at the helm and ensure that every major decision made was correct.
That would be too arrogant.
Zhang Shuo knows that the general trend of the future is correct, but why shouldn’t he walk steadily step by step on the road under his feet?
Just knowing the result does not mean that the process will not go wrong.
To give the simplest example, Zhang Shuo knows that cloud computing is a major trend in the future, but he is still confused about how to implement cloud computing.
Therefore, he now prefers to consult senior executives for their opinions.
Just listen and you will understand.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo looked at Jiang Yue and said: "The President's Office had better draw up a fixed charter, stipulating that a senior executive retreat exchange meeting should be held every two months or every quarter. At the exchange meeting, either
Communicate on business coordination issues between the holding company and its subsidiaries, as well as between subsidiaries and subsidiaries, and can also express opinions or suggestions on businesses that are not in charge of itself."
"good!"
Jiang Yue nodded in agreement and thought it was a good idea.
"Then, let me talk about some of my personal opinions?" Zhang Shuo had already said this, so Pei Weiping really had to say something, and it was best to say something meaningful.
"Say it."
Zhang Shuo is quite looking forward to it. He has always been very optimistic about Pei Weiping.
"I don't know much about other things, so I'll just give you my personal opinion based on the retail industry I'm engaged in. Taking Shanghai as an example, if each subsidiary is located in the Shanghai office, studio or branch, all of them will be regarded as
If it is a store, then the holding company's Magic City branch is more like a regional head office."
"According to the store management system in the retail industry, each branch is responsible for its own daily operating activities, which may involve finance, personnel, channels, marketing and other businesses, which must be coordinated by the head office. At the same time, the head office also
Responsible for the audit and supervision functions of the branches, he is fully responsible for the business operations and business development of the head office in the region."
"I don't know, does my opinion have any reference value for the current resource integration of regional companies?" Pei Weiping was very confident when it came to the professional field.
"well said!"
Zhang Shuo was the first to applaud, his eyes filled with admiration.
Pei Weiping is indeed Pei Weiping. His suggestion, simply put, is to copy the current holding company-subsidiary management model in other cities.
The regional branch mainly plays a coordination and supervisory role. While assisting each subsidiary to carry out business, it is also responsible for supervising the offices of each subsidiary for the headquarters.
This may not be the optimal solution in the future, but it is the optimal solution to deal with the current dilemma.
And it has strong operability.
"What do you think?" Zhang Shuo asked.
"I think it's okay."
"Mr. Pei's suggestion is indeed more feasible."
Wu Sheyuan also had to admit that Pei Weiping was obviously more pragmatic than his superiors.
"Then it's settled."
Once he came to the conclusion, Zhang Shuo stopped talking and looked at Wu Sheyuan: "You have always been responsible for the selection of the heads of the four branches of the holding company, so you will also take charge of this matter?
"
"It's okay, it's okay, but I have to fly to a beautiful country tonight, and the return time is not yet certain, so I'm afraid I'll be delayed then." Wu Sheyuan was happy to take on this task, but he just didn't want to rush.
"oh?"
Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Has Qingyun Data made any progress in recruiting people?"
"Yes!" Wu Sheyuan nodded, "The headhunter has contacted a studio in Silicon Valley that is engaged in cloud computing research. The person in charge is an overseas student from China. It's just that the conversation didn't go well. I want to go there in person.
"
If.
Recruiting Luo Chang'an, manager of the investment and M&A department, was Wu Sheyuan's first try.
So recruiting this cloud computing R&D team from Silicon Valley to lay the foundation for the development of Qingyun Data is a key battle that Wu Sheyuan cannot afford to lose.
"This is a good thing."
Zhang Shuo expressed his understanding, "You can go with confidence. Do you need to arrange for someone to accompany you?"
Qingyun Data is a key part of Zhang Shuo's layout of the Internet industry, and its importance is even as important as Weixin as the traffic entrance.
Naturally, we pay more attention to it.
"Some people from the headhunting company are still staying in Meili Country. I can just rush over and join them." Wu Sheyuan often went to Meili Country on business trips before, and he has already become familiar with it.
"That's good!"
Zhang Shuo nodded and said: "If that studio is really suitable, then you can consider a full acquisition. I will give you full authorization. If necessary, you can also keep this studio in Silicon Valley."
Although he has a strong national complex, he does not reject the use of global talents for research and development.
"good."
Wu Sheyuan nodded solemnly.
"Then you can only handle this matter." Zhang Shuo looked at Jiang Yue.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
With Wu Sheyuan and Chen Xiaowan stepping in recently, Jiang Yue is much more relaxed than before, and of course there is no reason to refuse.
Only by being capable can you continue to be reused by your boss.
She didn't want to lose her chain.
The end of the meeting.
Zhang Shuo told Du and Pei: "After Qingcheng Technology is separated, you two will coordinate on your own on how to allocate specific personnel, split financial accounts, etc. If you can't figure it out, just ask Director Jiang."
