Chapter 433: Up or down, the budding personnel will be reshuffled!
Sunday, Thursday.
Just a week later, Lu Qi came up with a preliminary plan to merge the four subsidiaries of Qinghe Technology, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, Qingyun Data and Moyin Technology.
I went to Zhang Shuo to report.
"Chairman, considering the established brand value of Qinghe Technology, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and Qingyun Data, a major principle of this integration is to maintain the existence of these brands as much as possible."
"I agree!"
Zhang Shuo nodded and approved Lu Qi's judgment.
Apart from anything else, the value of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, as the world's largest game manufacturer, with its appeal and brand influence in the global gaming circle is difficult to estimate.
The new games of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will naturally attract a wave of players to download them.
As the largest cloud service provider in China, Qingyun Data is not well-known on the Internet, but it still has a good reputation in the enterprise user circle.
Especially with the expansion of overseas markets, they have also gained some fame in Southeast Asia.
Not to mention Qinghe Technology, which has the flagship product of Weixin, and also has flagship products such as Tiantian Toutiao, Frog Browser, and Panda Live.
Taken alone, it can easily enter the top ten of China's Internet companies.
If these brands are erased because of integration, it will undoubtedly be a waste of money.
"It is recommended that the company after the merger be named Qinghe Group."
"The reason is that Weixin, a subsidiary of Qinghe Technology, is the largest hub platform for the group's Internet business. This integration will also be built around Weixin."
"Named Qinghe Group, it is equivalent to establishing Qinghe Technology's core hub position in the new company, while maximizing the inheritance of the 'Qinghe' brand."
Lu Qi gave his specific suggestions.
"Can!"
Zhang Shuo agreed again.
Speaking of itself, among the four subsidiaries integrated this time, Moyin Technology is still in the process of incubation, while the business scopes of Qingniao Interactive Entertainment and Qingyun Data are very clear and single.
Only Qinghe Technology.
In a sense, it has always played a role as the Internet business platform of Sprout Group.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shuo transferred all the previously acquired Automotive Network, as well as internally incubated projects such as Tiantian Toutiao, Frog Browser, Panda Live, Motu Xiuxiu, etc. to Qinghe Technology.
Although Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has the strongest profitability, it is obviously unable to assume such a role.
The most important thing is that the brand image of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has long been solidified and is deeply tied to the game business. When the outside world mentions Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, it will only be associated with games.
Even Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is equated with games.
The same is true for Qingyun Data.
"The organizational structure of Qinghe Group plans to adopt a business group structure, and plans to establish an enterprise development business group, a technology engineering business group, a Weixin business group, a platform and content business group, an interactive entertainment business group, a cloud and smart industry business group, and
The short video business unit is still incubating."
have to.
This is almost a replica of the original Time and Space Tengda.
“The Weixin business group mainly includes Weixin and Weixin payment products, while the platform and content business group includes Tiantian Toutiao, Frog Browser, Panda Live, Automotive Network and other products.”
This is equivalent to splitting the current business of Qinghe Technology into two major business groups.
"The Interactive Entertainment Business Group and Qingniao Interactive Entertainment, and the Cloud and Smart Industry Business Group and Qingyun Data are basically one and the same, and there will be no major changes."
"The biggest change may be the integration into Qinghe Group. After adopting the business group structure, the administrative staffing of each subsidiary will be reduced to a certain extent and more administrative powers will be concentrated in the enterprise development business group. Major undertakings
Groups/subsidiaries/business divisions will focus more on R&D and operations."
This is also one of the original intentions of subsidiary integration.
It is to reduce the administrative staffing to the maximum extent and tilt labor costs as much as possible towards R&D and operation positions to avoid a situation where the organizational structure is graceful and the personnel are overstaffed.
This point is very consistent with the "downsizing" strategy proposed by Zhang Shuo.
Just like the incubating Moyin Technology, after being included in the short video division of Qinghe Group, it only needs to focus on research and development and operation of two models, and there is no need to add additional administrative staff at all.
It’s just that the main body of external operations is Moyin Technology.
It can be seen that Lu Qi has indeed put a lot of thought into the integration of Qinghe Group.
"So, let's talk about the senior management configuration of Qinghe Group." Zhang Shuo smiled.
"good."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lu Qi's face, "According to your previous instructions, Chairman, the Qinghe Group after the merger will still be positioned as a group subsidiary and adopt a president responsibility system."
"Then, the Qinghe Group's management team needs to be equipped with a president, an executive vice president, and several senior vice presidents and vice presidents based on actual needs."
"The candidates include Zhao Xiaohu, the current president of Qinghe Technology, Cao Yanhua, president of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, and Du Ruiwen, chairman and general manager of Qingyun Data."
When it came to this, Lu Qi wisely did not say anything further.
Because there is no way to tell.
According to normal logic, the most promising candidates to compete for the president of Qinghe Group are Zhao Xiaohu and Cao Yanhua, among whom Zhao Xiaohu has a slightly higher chance of winning.
But it’s also very high.
Otherwise, Zhang Shuo would not have gone to great lengths to recruit Lu Qi from Weiruan to take charge of the Internet affairs of the Sprout Group.
Although the Qinghe Group after integration is still only at the group subsidiary level, it is definitely a second-tier group among the Germinal Group.
Vertical comparison.
Qinghe Group, Qingcheng Group, and Pinxixi Group are the three major Internet business groups. Qinghe Group is undoubtedly the big brother.
Horizontal comparison.
Except for the popular Maili Group, no one can surpass Qinghe Group.
Therefore, if they can serve as the president of Qinghe Group, for both Zhao Xiaohu and Cao Yanhua, although their ranks have not been improved, their powers will be greatly improved.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Its position in the budding sequence will also play a decisive role.
Thinking about it conversely, if either of the two fails to compete for the position of president of Qinghe Group, it will not only mean that the rank will not be promoted but downgraded, the key is to be inferior to others.
This is very difficult to do.
Faced with such a difficult problem, even the "honest" Lu Qi did not come to a conclusion directly, but unkindly handed the problem to the big boss Zhang Shuo.
Please ask the big boss to make a decision.
This is definitely not Lu Qi's attempt to force the palace and not know what is good and what is good. He has considered it repeatedly. Since Zhang Shuo initiated the integration, Zhang Shuo should have already reached a conclusion based on the thoughtfulness shown by Zhang Shuo.
really.
Zhang Shuo spoke, "I hope that you will take over the position of president of Qinghe Group, but I don't know if you are willing?"
From the beginning, Zhang Shuo never considered Zhao Xiaohu or Cao Yanhua.
Because it almost makes no sense.
"I do!!!"
Lu Qi agreed very readily, and even felt a little excited.
Why?
His current position seems to be prestigious, but it always feels like it is floating. He is nominally the rotating president in charge of the group's Internet affairs, but his involvement in the affairs of subsidiaries such as Qinghe Technology and Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is very limited.
There are different hills below.
This means that what Lu Qi can really do is very limited.
It's inevitable to feel a little depressed.
But if he concurrently serves as the president of Qinghe Group, the situation will suddenly become different as Qinghe Group is still in its budding stage, especially in the Internet business.
He will immediately become the "real power" rotating president.
Its positioning is quite similar to that of Senior Vice President Gu Mingzhang.
He is also the president of Maili Group, the most powerful group in the manufacturing industry. He is also in charge of the manufacturing business of Germination Group and is responsible for coordinating Daosui Group and Mango Group.
A man who concurrently serves as the president of Qinghe Group, the most powerful Internet business, is also in charge of the Internet business of Germination Group, and is responsible for coordinating Qingcheng Group and Pinxixi Group.
What a perfect match!
The only difference may be that Gu Mingzhang first served as the president of Maili Group and then worked at the group headquarters, which was a bottom-up approach; while Lu Qi was just the opposite, a top-down approach.
It can be regarded as reaching the same destination through different paths.
Because of this, in the past week, when he was responsible for writing the integration plan, deep down in his heart, Lu Qi had actually imagined that he would concurrently serve as the president of Qinghe Group.
But in order to avoid suspicion, he did not bring it up.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuo took the initiative to propose, which made Lu Qi feel very emotional.
Just feel it.
It seems that my little thoughts were seen through by the big boss early on.
From Zhang Shuo's perspective, letting Lu Qi concurrently serve as the president of Qinghe Group is not only because Lu Qi is the most suitable candidate, but it is also paving the way for next year's personnel layout.
As both rotating presidents, when Lu Kai stands out, he will have to give Lu Qi an explanation, right?
so.
Zhang Shuo has been playing a big game from the beginning.
"So, Chairman, what are the arrangements for Zhao Xiaohu, Cao Yanhua, and Du Ruiwen?" Although happy, Lu Qi has not forgotten that the biggest problem has not been solved yet.
"How about retaining the current ranks of Zhao Xiaohu and Cao Yanhua?" Lu Qi suggested.
Zhao Xiaohu and Cao Yanhua, as presidents of the group's subsidiaries, are currently at the M11 level. After losing hope in competing for the position of president of Qinghe Group, they are either serving as executive vice president or senior vice president.
The ranks will be adjusted to M10 level.
Lu Qi wanted to find a compromise, lowering the position but retaining their rank and salary.
"No need."
Zhang Shuo shook his head and refused, "The group's personnel adjustments, even if they involve senior executives, should be able to move up and down. It does not mean that after being promoted, you can only keep going up."
There is no reason for this.
The higher you go, the more scarce the spots are, and you can arrange to come anywhere.
More importantly, the Sprout Group is a private enterprise and does not have any administrative level, so there is no need to retain rank and benefits.
That will only make things more and more complicated and lead to a bad start.
Will we have to set up some more virtual positions in the future?
"As for the remaining personnel arrangements, my opinion is that Zhao Xiaohu will serve as executive vice president of Qinghe Group, president of Weixin Business Group, and president of Platform and Content Business Group."
"Cao Yanhua serves as senior vice president of Qinghe Group and president of the interactive entertainment business group."
"Du Ruiwen serves as the vice president of Qinghe Group and the chairman and general manager of Qingyun Data."
Qingyun Data has gone through multiple rounds of financing, established a board of directors, and implemented a chairman responsibility system. Therefore, Du Ruiwen's position mainly follows that of Qingyun Data.
After this adjustment.
Zhao Xiaohu and Cao Yanhua will be downgraded from level M11 to level M10, while Du Ruiwen will be downgraded from level M10 to level M9, which can be regarded as "advancing and retreating together".
"Of course, for the three people's high integrity, we can consider giving an additional special compensation of about 10 million in this year's year-end bonus."
Zhang Shuo is not completely tough, he will give you a jujube if you knock him.
“The chairman is wise!”
Regarding such personnel arrangements, it was not that Lu Qi had not thought of it, but that he could not think of it.
Zhang Shuo, as the founder, soul and helmsman of Suiya, has long established an unshakable image of authority in the Suiya system, including the senior executives of Suiya Group.
For such a "dramatic" personnel adjustment, it is natural to be able to do it with ease.
But Lu Qi can't.
It's not because Lu Qi is incompetent, but just because their ranks are different.
After finalizing the personnel arrangements for Zhao Xiaohu, Cao Yanhua, and Du Ruiwen, how should we choose the remaining important positions such as operations director, technical director, financial director, and human resources director?
There is no need for Zhang Shuo to make the decision himself.
Lu Kai, as the rotating president, can make this determination in cooperation with the human resources director Wu Sheyuan.
"Now that the general direction has been set, let's officially start the integration work."
Zhang Shuo, on the other hand, acted vigorously and resolutely.
"Understood!"
After reaching an agreement with the big boss on the most core and sensitive issues, Lu Qi seemed confident.
………
after this.
Lu Qi, in his capacity as rotating president, immediately issued an internal letter to executives at M9 and above levels in the Germination Department, announcing the preliminary integration plan for Qinghe Group.
Not surprisingly, it caused some waves in a small area.
Lu Qi contacted the three heads of subsidiaries, Zhao Xiaohu, Cao Yanhua, and Du Ruiwen, as well as the group's human resources director Wu Sheyuan, and jointly formed a Qinghe Group preparatory team.
Yes.
To complete such a heavyweight integration, it would be impossible without the participation of Zhao Xiaohu and others, and it would inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary disturbances.
Fortunately, Lu Qi invited Shang Fang Sword from Zhang Shuo.
As soon as the group was established, the main personnel appointments of Qinghe Group were announced on a small scale to give Zhao Xiaohu, Cao Yanhua and others time to react and digest it.
Of course, during the process, Lu Qi also had one-on-one conversations with the three of them, and even rushed to the capital and mountain cities in person to talk to Du Ruiwen and Cao Yanhua face-to-face.
It is important that the three of them understand the intention of this integration and obey the group's arrangements wholeheartedly.
Among the three.
Du Ruiwen had the least objection.
Zhao Xiaohu also has a relatively mild temperament and is more self-aware. He knows that he is embarrassed to be the president of Qinghe Group, so as long as he is still responsible for the main affairs of Qinghe Technology, he doesn't have much objection.
As for Cao Yanhua, who was said to be the most irritating, he had just been beaten by Zhang Shuo and could no longer say a word.
the most important is.
It was Lu Qi, not Zhao Xiaohu, who served as the president of Qinghe Group, and Cao Yanhua gradually felt relieved.
And through this conversation.
Lu Qi has also initially established prestige in the new team.
After appeasing the "Big Three", the preparations for the establishment of Qinghe Group can be officially launched. The next step will be unimaginable and meticulous work.
It involves both the deployment of personnel and the reshaping of the organizational structure.
There are even adjustments to business lines.
All in all, things are complicated. Fortunately, Sprout Group is no longer Wu Xia Amon. It has a collection of internal talents, and Lu Qi himself is a well-known integration expert.
But he also managed things in an orderly manner.
If everything goes well, Qinghe Group will be officially established after the spring of next year.
………
Day, Friday.
Recently, Zhang Shuo seems to be leisurely, but in fact he is very busy.
First, as the New Year is approaching, although the external situation is calm, things within the Sprout Group have suddenly increased, and a large number of documents have to be processed every day.
We should also always pay attention to the latest progress of the preparations for the establishment of Qinghe Group.
Although Zhang Shuo has left full responsibility for this matter to Lu Qi, he cannot really just be the boss. In private, he has been silently paying attention to the latest developments of the matter.
Always be prepared, if Lu Qi cannot control Zhao Xiaohu, Cao Yanhua and other "frontier officials", Zhang Shuo will personally take action and talk to these people.
Fortunately, things didn't come to this.
Lu Qi rushed to the capital in person, and Shancheng's move obviously had good results.
He is indeed the boss chosen by Zhang Shuo.
In addition to staying in the office, as the new year is approaching, even if Zhang Shuo doesn't like socializing, after all, due to his status, various social interactions are inevitable.
For example, Binhai City, the official annual awards ceremony held by Lingnan Province.
Another example is the various honors and titles awarded to Zhang Shuo by relevant departments, even if they are heavier, Zhang Shuo himself must go to the capital.
By the way, I also want to take advantage of the New Year to visit some old places in the capital.
There are also things like the Fertile Soil Award Ceremony organized by the Sprout Group, attending the board meeting of Eastern University of Science and Technology, organizing the board meeting of the Sprout Group, etc.
Almost every two days, I have to attend an event or meeting.
That's it.
It was all a result of leaving a lot of ceremonial and general entertainment to Lu Kai, Jiang Yue and other group executives to share it, otherwise Zhang Shuo wouldn't be able to make it even if he had three games a day.
While he was busy, senior brother Wang Yan accidentally found Zhang Shuo.
Both of them are brothers, but as the director of the group's technical center, Wang Yan rarely reports to Zhang Shuo in person. He usually reports to the rotating president.
and.
The eldest brother is also very low-key, especially within Bu Ya. Not only does he not show off his special relationship with Zhang Shuo, he even deliberately handles it in a low-key manner.
Apparently he was also afraid of people gossiping.
Of course, Zhang Shuo definitely doesn’t think so. As a veteran of the Germination Group and the first-generation “Father of Weixin,” he subsequently led the development of a series of products such as Tiantian Toutiao, Pinxixi, and Frog Browser.
Senior brother Wang Yan is definitely qualified to hold on to his current position.
There is no doubt about this.
In no mood.
Senior brother Wang Yan rarely came to Zhang Shuo's office and said -
"Chairman, I apply to be transferred to Qinghe Group."
"Um?"
Zhang Shuo was very surprised, "Do you want to serve as the president of Qinghe Group?"
With Senior Brother Wang Yan's current M10 rank, this is the only position that is still attractive.
"No no no!"
Wang Yan shook his head, "I apply to be transferred to the position of technical director of Qinghe Group."
"What?"
Zhang Shuo was even more confused and said speechlessly: "Did I hear it correctly? You are the director of the technical center of the Germination Group, but you have to demote yourself two levels and go to Qinghe Group as the technical director. Don't you have a fever in your head?"
This is the senior brother. Anyone else would have been reprimanded by Zhang Shuo on the spot.
"Listen to my explanation."
Wang Yan ran over, obviously not impulsively.
"Then tell me, why did you suddenly have such a crazy idea?" Although he knew that the senior brother was not an unreliable person, Zhang Shuo still couldn't calm down.
"Because I want to do something." Wang Yan's attitude was firm.
"That's it?"
Zhang Shuo was greatly disappointed, "Do you mean that you are very idle in your current position?"
"It's not free now, but it will be soon."
Wang Yan was obviously prepared and explained: "The group's technology center is said to be a technology center, but in fact it mainly serves the group's Internet business."
It is equivalent to a technical middle platform built for Internet business.
It also acts as an incubator.
"The current situation is that the Qinghe Group, which is under preparation, has a technical engineering business group under it, and the daily operations of the Qingcheng Group are not under the control of the headquarters, so the group's technology center will be free, right?"
"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"
Zhang Shuo didn't believe it, "Can't we still serve as the technical center for Qinghe Group and Pinxixi Group, and continue to provide the lowest level of technical services for these two group subsidiaries?"
Instinctively, he felt a little guilty, because after Moyin Technology, Zhang Shuo had no more exciting Internet product ideas in his mind for the technology center to incubate.
Even if there is.
In fact, it can all be left to Qinghe Group’s technical engineering business group.
"It's possible, but it's very confusing and doesn't match the group's new strategy," Wang Yan said.
"What kind of mismatch?"
This time, Zhang Shuo was really interested.
“The group has proposed a dual-channel strategy for investment and industry, one of which is to gradually downplay the business support function of the group headquarters and slowly transform into the role of asset manager.”
"In that case, the group will make great efforts to integrate Qinghe Technology, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and other subsidiaries this time to build a super-large Internet business platform like Qinghe Group."
"Then, as the group's technical center that mainly supports Internet business, there is naturally no need to continue to remain at the group headquarters."
"We can definitely take advantage of this major integration to move the group's technology center directly to Qinghe Group."
"In this way, the management level is reduced, and the technology center can always be at the forefront of the market, always connected to the product side, and provide the most appropriate technical support and guarantee."
