Chapter 207: Industry infighting, takeout following the trend, soaking wolfberry in a thermos cup?
Not directly promoting Jiang Yue to the position of president of Sprout Group is not only a buffer but also a test.
If Jiang Yue does a good job as senior vice president and is completely qualified for the job of president, then his subsequent promotion will be a matter of course and no one can say anything.
If it doesn't work well.
Based on Jiang Yue's outstanding contribution to Sprout over the past year, being promoted to senior vice president can be considered a reward, but it cannot go any further.
This means there is more room for advancement and retreat.
In addition to being a test, of course it was also to take care of Lu Kai's emotions.
In any case, the performance bet with Lu Kai is still being implemented, and it is hard for Zhang Shuo to give up the position of president before the winner is completely determined.
So what does Lu Kai think?
The major personnel adjustments involving the group's senior executives can be said to affect the whole body. Zhang Shuo, as the CEO of Germination Group, is also worried.
All aspects must be taken care of.
After the conversation with Jiang Yue, Zhang Shuo called Zhu Zhenghong to the office in the afternoon and had a very brief pre-appointment conversation before the entire process was completed.
after.
Zhang Shuo published an internal open letter on Feixun, informing him of the personnel adjustments.
Instead of asking the President's Office to send an internal letter as usual, it was natural to show Zhang Shuo's support for this personnel adjustment, which was tantamount to personally endorsing Jiang Yue.
Try to clear the way for Jiang Yue's rise to power as much as possible.
To his surprise, Jiang Yue's promotion did not cause much backlash within Germination.
Quite the opposite.
When they learned that Jiang Yue had been promoted to senior vice president of the sprout group and was responsible for the daily administrative affairs of the group, many senior employees of the sprout group sent congratulatory messages.
Not only ordinary employees, but also senior executives expressed their support for Jiang Yue.
think carefully.
Among the executives of the Germination Department, Zhao Mingchuan originally negotiated the acquisition of Coldplay Technology by Jiang Yue, and the three subsequent executives, Pei Weiping, Cao Yanhua, and Wu Sheyuan, were recruited by Jiang Yue.
No wonder Jiang Yue can gain such support.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief. Since public opinion has not rebounded, the real test for Jiang Yue lies in the next work.
…………
Xiangjiang.
After learning about Jiang Yue's appointment, Lu Kai must be the most disappointed.
He has always had high expectations for the position of president of Sprout, especially as Sprout has developed rapidly and has the beginnings of a large enterprise.
I am even more looking forward to the second spring of my career.
Who would have thought that before Lu Kai could make any achievements, reality gave him a wake-up call.
"Is this a warning from my boss?"
Lu Kai couldn't help but think of the video call with Zhang Shuo last week. Zhang Shuo vaguely revealed his dissatisfaction with Jiaoyang Holdings' overseas financing work.
At least.
Jiaoyang Holdings did not meet the expectations when it was first established, and it was not able to bring much substantial overseas financing to the head office, and became more like an intermediary company.
"It's time to reflect deeply."
As long as Jiang Yue has not been officially appointed as president, Lu Kai will still have a chance.
He doesn't want to give up.
The only way to compete for the CEO throne is to show outstanding performance.
…………
When Jiang Yue came home from get off work, her husband Shen Yimo was preparing dinner.
There is no doubt that he is a standard good man.
"Husband, I have some good news for you. I have been promoted." When she was at the company, Jiang Yue could still carry it. When she got home, she couldn't wait to share her joy with those closest to her.
This can be regarded as a milestone in her career history.
"Really? What position do you hold?" Shen Yimo asked with a smile.
"Senior Vice President of Sprout Group."
"Um???"
Shen Yimo raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you didn't pull over in advance?"
No wonder Shen Yimo was suspicious. In fact, the so-called senior vice presidents of many companies are usually reserved for company elders. They are ranked high in name but do not actually have any real power.
It may not be as good as the previous administrative assistant.
"Of course not, he is the vice president responsible for the daily work of the group." Jiang Yue added with a smile.
"Really?!" Shen Yimo shook his hands, "This is really great news. Will I be promoted to the president of the group in the next step? Sure, you can all ride on me. ”
"That is required."
Jiang Yue was obviously very excited too.
To celebrate, Shen Yimo even opened a bottle of red wine from his collection.
"Drink less, we will be celebrating later, so don't let your guard down." Jiang Yue's cheeks turned red.
"Well……"
Shen Yimo's calves suddenly started to tremble. Who knows the pain of a middle-aged man?
It's terrible!
He is already considering whether to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup starting from tomorrow.
…………
The CEO's office is very efficient.
The next day, the door number of Jiang Yue's office was changed.
As for the administrative assistant position that Jiang Yue held before, it was not a standard position in the first place. It was a position that could be established and abolished at any time according to needs.
After Jiang Yue's promotion, Zhang Shuo has no plans to appoint a new administrative assistant in the short term.
Because Jiang Yue's job responsibilities focus on administrative business, Zhang Shuo personally presides over major strategic decisions on the company's operating business.
The specific operational business is also responsible for the operations director Zhao Mingchuan and the general manager of the subordinate subsidiaries.
After promoting Jiang Yue, the most direct benefit for Zhang Shuo is that the number of online and offline documents that he needs to approve has been reduced by more than half.
One of the main responsibilities of the president is to review and approve daily administrative and business documents.
In this way, Zhang Shuo can free up more time and energy to think about the group's development strategy.
In addition, with the promotion of Jiang Yue's position, the official reception tasks related to sprouting will be fully delegated to Jiang Yue's representative, and Zhang Shuo will no longer need to come forward.
The position of group president is enough.
One thing that is very different about running a business in China is that you have to come into contact with official personnel every now and then. Even if it is just a simple meeting and greetings, it is necessary.
You can never stay behind closed doors.
Zhang Shuo didn't like this kind of social interaction, so he just left it all to Jiang Yue.
…………
Tenda Building.
Just when Zhang Shuo was enjoying his rare free time, the second master summoned Lu Jian and Renyu for a meeting.
This time I am not talking specifically about sprouts.
In fact, every Friday, the three giants of Tenda will get together for a little chat and have face-to-face communication and discussions on some of the company's key decisions.
Many major decisions are made in this small office meeting.
This is also a common phenomenon in the workplace.
Hold general meetings for small matters, hold small meetings for big matters, and do not hold meetings for particularly important matters.
Meetings with many people are not important, important meetings with few people; meetings are held to solve small problems, small meetings are held to solve big problems, meetings are not held to solve key problems, and meetings are always held when problems are not solved.
The original time and space Tengda's decision to invest in Jingdong was the result of the second master and Lao Liu having a meal in Xiangjiang, and the main key terms were negotiated.
Many investments in the Internet are also finalized by the big guys at dinner parties.
Otherwise, why do we always get together to eat and drink?
"Has Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment responded to our actions in the mobile game field?" Er Ye asked.
Although the meeting was not about Germination, I don’t know since when, the topic of Germination has become a frequent guest in the meeting and is mentioned almost every time.
This shows how wary Tengda is about Germination.
"Not much reaction."
Renyu's expression was a little strange. His generous gesture seemed to have been ignored by Jade Bird Entertainment?
It's so embarrassing.
"That's it." The second master also looked strange.
"On the other hand, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has recently invested in EPIC, a company from the beautiful country. In addition, it poached the "God of War" production team from us some time ago. It seems that it is interested in entering the field of PC games." Renyu's sense of smell is still very sensitive.
"Aggressive."
The second master raised his eyebrows slightly, "We are also going to speed up the acquisition of overseas game companies."
"clear!"
This is exactly what Renyu is looking forward to, "I am already in contact with several major game manufacturers in Japan and Korea. If the investment is successful, I will be able to harvest a large number of classic IPs for mobile game transformation."
in the field of originality.
Renyu no longer has the confidence to compete with Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, so it can only take the path of IP development.
It’s all about making money anyway, it’s not shabby!
"In addition, I also received rumors that Weixin has no plans to add a game center function for the time being. Weixin payment is still under internal testing and it will be difficult to officially launch it in the short term."
Renyu immediately started another topic.
Just as Zhang Shuo expected, when Qinghe Technology accepted developers from the WeChat project department, Tenda would inevitably take advantage of the situation and plant a nail in the door.
Mission Impossible belongs to it.
However, there is a contract, so the so-called nails can only reveal a little gossip at most. If you dare to leak real business secrets, once you are found out, it will not be as simple as resigning.
It is subject to legal sanctions.
"It now seems that although Weixin was developing rapidly before, in the mid-term, its weaknesses of insufficient foundation and lack of developers have become more and more exposed." Renyu added with a smile.
Until now.
He also disapproved of Zhao Xiaohu's abandonment of the bright and the dark.
"That can't be taken lightly."
The second master was still very sober and did not dwell too much on this issue. Instead, he turned to look at Lu Jian, "Dancong Dianping, are there any new actions for the next step?"
Investment Dacong Dianping has been regarded by Tenda internally as a powerful counterattack against Bu Ya.
"Dacong Dianping is preparing to launch takeout service," Lu Jian said.
With the entry of Tenda, the fierce battle in the group buying industry has been poured with a basin of ice water, and it has gradually begun to cool down. Some people are even starting to reflect on the industry.
After calming down and analyzing carefully, it seems that group buying is not a long-term business.
It's more like an admission ticket.
Qingcheng Technology’s first take-out product seems to represent the future development trend of this industry.
First, the mold group followed suit.
Following Dacong Dianping, he couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to join the game.
This also reflects from the side how difficult it is to start a business in China. Once a start-up company makes some achievements, there will soon be a large number of followers.
