Chapter 482: The sprouting blade turns inward to solve the disease of large companies!
After signing the grant application, Zhang Shuo finally had time to read the news.
During the New Year's Day, the outside world was not calm. Ali, even though it was deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, still bucked the trend and launched the office software Dingding, which is expected to compete head-on with Feixun.
But how to say it.
It has been almost four years since Feixun was launched, and it has been continuously optimized and updated, and it has long become the mainstream office software in the Chinese Internet circle.
Even giants like Tenda, Qiandu, and Wangji all use Feixun.
Everyone is already accustomed to using Feixun for office.
It is even said that if Feixun and office software are equated together, the former is synonymous with the latter.
Not just in China.
In the past year, with the acceleration of Germination's overseas strategy, Feixun has rapidly penetrated into the Southeast Asian market and has even gained popularity in markets such as Europe.
It has become another mainstream online office software.
Ali launched Dingding at this time, hoping to challenge Feixun, but it only relied on its own "unbreakable" ecosystem to force cooperating merchants and small and micro enterprises to abandon Feixun and use Dingding instead.
Still so simple and crude.
When it comes to building a so-called moat through the ecological circle, Ahri is still the most foolhardy.
No matter how playable it is, Dingding will only be able to circulate within Ahri's sphere of influence at best and become a similar internally customized office software, destined to be unable to compete with Feixun.
I guess I still can’t swallow that breath.
………
After reading the news, Zhang Shuo attended the regular meeting on Monday.
It is also the first regular meeting of the new year.
At the meeting, two senior vice presidents, Gu Mingzhang and Lu Qi, reported on the latest preparations for the VR glasses project——
Maili Group is already preparing to establish a VR glasses project department, which will be upgraded to a business department in due course in the future.
Qingniao Interactive Entertainment, a subsidiary of Qinghe Group, has also been developing VR game projects.
"The preliminary plan formulated by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is to simultaneously launch three interesting mini-games and a massively multiplayer online role-playing game."
This is a very pragmatic approach.
Everyone is confused about how to develop VR games. They can only adopt an internal horse racing mechanism and prioritize the development of small games. After accumulating experience, they can then develop medium and large games.
Mobile games follow a similar pattern. The ones that became popular at the beginning were small games such as "Fruit Ninja", "Angry Birds", and "Plants vs. Zombies".
Subsequently, as the performance of mobile phones improved, "Clash of Clans", "King of Pesticide", etc. were released.
Unlike Washi.com and Qiandu, they didn’t even have experience in game production, yet they dared to develop very large games with hundreds of thousands of people online at the same time.
The result is basically an insult to the player's IQ.
"In addition to the VR game project, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is also consulting with the VR laboratory of Fertile Land Research Institute to explore the possibility of connecting the spirit realm game platform to the metaverse." Lu Qi added with a smile.
"very good!"
Seeing that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment had established a VR game project so quickly, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but give Lu Qi a high look.
Obviously, after receiving the game planning plan sent by Zhang Shuo, Lu Qi seized the opportunity very well, took advantage of the situation to quell the turmoil within the Qinghe Group, and gained absolute say.
Otherwise, Cao Yanhua would not be so cooperative.
"Is there any latest progress in the Internet's opening strategy?" Zhang Shuo asked with concern.
"We are negotiating with Qiandu."
Lu Qi is also very concerned, "At present, we have reached an agreement with Qiandu on opening up accounts. The rest is mainly to explore deeper cooperation in aspects such as copyright sharing."
Among the three giants, Qiandu and Moya are the ones with the least direct conflict.
Especially because of the existence of Frog Browser, Qiandu requests to come to Qinghe Group every year for fear that Qinghe Group will end up getting involved in the Internet search business.
Because of this, the cooperation talks between Mei Ya and Qian Du went relatively smoothly.
"That's good!"
Zhang Shuo is also very excited. As long as we win Qiandu, the interconnection of China's Internet industry will take a solid step forward.
If Ahri is so stubborn in the future, she will look very "alien".
After the uproar at the Zhang Shuo Internet Conference, and with Gerrard taking the initiative to take the lead, the overall atmosphere of China's Internet industry, including the direction of Internet public opinion, is developing in a good direction.
This is the most real thing.
After Lu Qi, Gu Mingzhang reported on Nebula Group’s contact with China Aerospace regarding the joint preparation of a commercial space launch center. “The feedback from China Aerospace is very positive. The two parties have signed a letter of intent for cooperation. It is expected that the project will be officially launched in the spring of next year.”
Entering the planning stage.”
The value of 60 billion is once again vividly reflected.
For any other company, it would not be easy to cooperate with China Aerospace.
"It's all good news."
The execution ability of Germinal executives is indeed top-notch. Some big plans established before New Year's Day have entered the implementation stage as soon as the holiday is over.
It can be seen that there is nothing careless about it.
………
The end of the meeting.
After discussing the specific matters, Zhang Shuo finally brought the topics previously reserved for the annual meeting to the meeting after fermentation and thinking during the holidays.
It’s a good idea to talk to the senior management first.
"As Qing Ning Group and Xinghai Mining are in place, it is necessary to add a new senior vice president to the group headquarters. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" Zhang Shuo raised the first topic.
"???"
Lu Kai, Gu Mingzhang and other senior executives were confused for a moment.
Naturally, they had no objection to the addition of a senior vice president. What was really surprising was that Zhang Shuo, the big boss, actually asked for their opinions on such an important personnel arrangement.
In the past, Zhang Shuo Qiankun was always the one who made the decision.
"This is a bit sudden."
Lu Kai smiled and broke the deadlock, "Chairman, is it an internal selection or an external selection?"
"It's best to select internally."
Zhang Shuo also had a clear attitude, and then added: "Of course, this matter is not urgent. In the next six months, everyone here can come to me for recommendations at any time."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Anyway, the two subsidiaries of Qing Ning Group and Xinghai Mine are still in the early stages of development, and they are controlled by two experienced presidents, Sun Yang and Song Zhiyou.
In a short period of time, I can barely cope with it.
Just considering the long term, it is necessary to add a senior vice president in charge.
"so…"
Lu Kai and other senior executives realized that the big boss was going to take action.
But it was really hard to say anything at the moment.
In the rank sequence of the Sprout Group, the senior vice president of the group is at the M12 level, which is basically the career ceiling in the Sprout system, and the higher level is the president level.
If you are promoted from within Buya, even if it is an exceptional promotion, the minimum level must be M10, which is the level of group director or general manager of a first-level subsidiary.
The best choice is to select one person from among the presidents of the group's subsidiaries.
As a result, the scope of recommendations was actually very small, but those who were qualified did not appear at the meeting.
That's very intriguing.
This is also the reason why Zhang Shuo did not bring this matter up at the previous annual meeting, because he did not want to cause unrest among the group executives on a larger scale.
Zhang Shuo was not in a hurry and immediately mentioned another thing.
"As the group becomes larger and larger, and its businesses become more and more extensive, I believe that it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and auditing responsibilities of the group headquarters over its subsidiaries."
Hearing this, Lu Kai and other senior executives subconsciously cheered up.
Don't blame them for being nervous.
How to handle the relationship between the group headquarters and its subsidiaries, and how to balance the relationship between delegation and supervision, have always been difficult problems in management. It can be said that one hair can affect the whole body.
Any changes must be made with caution.
However, this set of rules does not seem to be suitable for Zhang Shuo. As the founder and soul of Bu Ya, Zhang Shuo has been leading a series of organizational changes and personnel adjustments in Bu Ya from beginning to end.
Within the sprout, there is unshakable authority.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shuo has the courage and capital to frequently break down some of the barriers within the group, solve the problems faced by large companies, and lead the sprout to always be in an entrepreneurial state, soaring all the way.
"The specific measure is to change the audit rules."
really.
Zhang Shuo didn't hesitate at all, and directly revealed his mature thoughts.
"how to change?"
On the surface Lu Kai was asking questions, but in reality he was cooperating with Zhang Shuo.
"The current subsidiaries will set up their own audit departments, and the group headquarters audit center will dispatch audit teams to each subsidiary. The labor contracts of the audit team members are directly affiliated with the headquarters audit center."
In this way, the independence of the audit work will be greatly enhanced.
"At the same time, in order to enhance the responsibilities of the headquarters audit center, it is necessary to add a chief economist who is specifically in charge of the group's audit work in addition to the general manager of the audit center."
Zhang Shuo made reference to the functional setting of the national team.
Prior to this, the group's audit center was headed by Jiang Yuezai, the executive vice president responsible for group administrative affairs. After the establishment of a chief economist, the chief economist will report directly to Lu Kai.
At the same level as the human resources director, financial director, etc.
Doing so not only reduces the reporting level, but also substantially improves the status of the audit department in the group, further highlighting the importance of audit work at the group headquarters.
"Can!"
All the executives present agreed with strengthening the audit management of subsidiaries.
Prior to this, because Zhang Shuo's positioning of the headquarters of the Germination Group was to gradually shift to asset management responsibilities, relevant business management responsibilities were continuously delegated to the presidents or general managers of the subsidiaries.
Lu Kai and other senior executives have doubts about this.
We are worried that if things go on like this, the subsidiary will become increasingly independent of the headquarters, or even become its own entity, becoming an independent kingdom in a sense and gradually breaking away from the control of the headquarters.
This is very dangerous.
Now, Zhang Shuo wants to tighten the supervision and audit of the subsidiaries. Naturally, this is a clever move, which is a combination of closing and releasing. It reflects Zhang Shuo's superb management wisdom.
"Then, is this chief economist promoted from the current general manager of the audit center, or is he hired from outside?"
Although he was stripped of some of his powers, from the perspective of the overall interests of the group, Jiang Yue still agreed with the change of "changing the audit system and establishing a chief economist."
"Hire an outsider!"
Considering the particularity of the audit work, Zhang Shuo is still inclined to say that a chief economist will be parachuted in from outside and has no interest in the embryonic system.
"The specific candidates will be checked by Mr. Lu and Mr. Wu. Of course, Mr. Jiang can also recommend them."
"clear!"
The three executives who were called to the meeting nodded in unison.
Zhang Shuo continued the topic just now: "The establishment of a chief economist and the dispatching of audit teams to subsidiaries are just changes in the organizational structure. In addition, more specific actions are needed to coordinate and support it."
"My idea is to upgrade the existing annual audit work system so that the audit scope is no longer limited to finance, but extends to operations, research and development, human resources, administration, management and other aspects."
Sounds more like a full review.
"For example, in the area of R&D, we must focus on auditing R&D expenditures and carefully check whether there is any abuse, misappropriation, deduction, etc. of R&D funds, and whether R&D funds are spent wisely."
Research and development is the foundation for the survival of sprouts and must be paid special attention to.
"Another example is the management aspect. In addition to the compliance review of the entire management system, we also need to focus on investigating the implementation and implementation of the budding corporate culture in subsidiaries, and collecting corresponding feedback."
Corporate culture is the foundation for a sprout to gain a foothold and must be instilled and persisted for a long time.
In other sectors such as operations, human resources, administration, etc., the focus of the audit is of course also the weak links where management risks and operational risks may occur.
As much as possible, turn the annual audit into a comprehensive assessment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is also a time to check and fill in the gaps.
"At the end of each year, a team led by the group's senior executives conducts a comprehensive audit of its subsidiaries."
"For example, this year's annual audit work was led by three senior executives: Mr. Gu, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Jiang. Mr. Lu was responsible for the overall coordination and mobilized capable personnel from various departments of the group to form three independent audit teams.
The audit, which lasts for about a month, must ensure that there are no blind spots and is comprehensive.”
If you want to seize the subsidiaries below, you won't be able to do it without the leadership of senior executives with sufficient weight.
In previous years, the team was led by the general manager of the group audit center, and in some cases even the deputy general manager. The problems that could be detected were actually very limited.
Zhang Shuo made great determination this time, and he must truly find out the details of his subsidiaries.
Without going there in person, without conducting on-the-spot investigations, interviews, and conversations, it is difficult to see the true nature of many things from the reports, documents, and PPTs reported by the subsidiaries.
Zhang Shuo does not have the energy to visit every house, so he can only entrust it to the senior management team at the headquarters.
………
Two days later, Lu Kai reported to Zhang Shuo the specific arrangements for this year's audit work.
"Mr. Gu leads a team responsible for the audit work of Qinghe Group, Qingcheng Group and Pinxixi Group. Mr. Lu leads a team responsible for the audit work of Maili Group, Daosui Group and Mango Group."
This directly separated Gu Mingzhang and Lu Qi, which had a strong sense of cross-audit.
"The remaining Mr. Jiang will lead another team to be responsible for the audit work of Nebula Group, Qing Ning Group, Xinghai Mining and Weizhong Group." Lu Kai reported.
Zhang Shuo listened, shook his head and said: "Qing Ning Group and Xinghai Mining have just been established, so there is no need to make a big splash. The group audit center can just conduct a routine annual audit."
He also didn't want to make the battle too big and wanted to clearly distinguish priorities.
It cannot be turned into another kind of formalism.
"In addition, audits must also be arranged for Sprout Investment, Chunmiao Fund and Fertile Land Research Institute, institutions directly under these three groups but which conduct independent financial accounting."
"Also, Jiaoyang Holdings, although it is affiliated overseas, should also be included in the audit scope."
Overseas business departments are actually more prone to problems.
"In this case, Mr. Gu's team will increase the audit of Chunmiao Fund, and Mr. Lu's team will increase the audit of Jiaoyang Holdings. Mr. Jiang's team, after excluding Qing Ning Group and Xinghai Mining, will increase the audit of Sprout Investment and
Audit of Fertile Soil Research Institute." Lu Kai quickly readjusted the plan.
