We had a meal together at the company at noon. We briefly celebrated taking such a big step this time. After getting through the turbulence, it was smooth sailing from now on.
In the afternoon conference room, the heads of more than a dozen departments were all sitting in their seats. Lu Feng walked in and sat on the main seat and said: "I will read the reports of each department when I have time. This meeting will be
A few things, first, the issue of financing and overseas business units. Second, regarding the further dilution of employee stock ownership voting, I think more options should be given to the core members of the R&D company as a reward. Third, regarding the Tianjin factory
, the progress of the group headquarters building. Fourth, the discussion on the Electrical City project plan, and fifth, regarding internal adjustments, upgrading the existing board of directors to the board of directors, and placing employee stock ownership representatives in units affiliated with the board of directors!"
After listening to these questions, everyone sighed in their hearts that the company was developing so fast that the board of directors could no longer meet the needs of shareholders and needed to be changed into a board of directors.
With the entry of international capital and the formation of a board of directors, it is only a matter of time before a rotating president and CEO are elected. The title of chairman, a title that dominates a single company, will soon become a thing of the past.
In fact, when Schroder Group was introduced, there were some worries among the senior management. Once the financing was completed, Lu Feng's shareholding would become single digits and he could easily be kicked out. However, if the company wanted to develop bigger, it would
Globally, it is impossible without the introduction of capital.
Everyone knows what is going on in the Electrical Appliance City. This matter is written in the prospectus. Jiafeng Electronics will build the first Electrical Appliance City in China.
What surprised everyone the most was that Lu Feng continued to promote the R&D company's weight within the group, which made many senior executives feel uncomfortable.
After all, he has made great contributions to the company, but in Mr. Lu's eyes, the R&D company is the most precious one.
The first few questions are just a brief report and discussion. The Tianjin factory will be put into use early next year, and the group building has started construction as funds are in place. It is expected to be completed at the end of 1995 and be put into use in early 1996.
When the issue of further diluting employee stock ownership was discussed, the atmosphere in the conference room became subtle. Liucheng seemed a little excited, but he hid it well.
"Actually, I think the group has done a good job in this regard, but this year it has indeed added a lot of heavyweight engineers. These teams need some temptations and give them a little sweetness. I think it is necessary. I don't mean to do it deliberately.
The care engineers are not our own people, but specially hired personnel, otherwise we need to invest a lot of cash flow."
Liucheng looked at Lu Feng and said: "Mr. Lu, I think this additional option allocation should not involve the senior management of the R&D company, but should be directed to key project teams, teams and individuals."
"This is a good suggestion. If you have any ideas, please tell me." Lu Feng asked everyone.
None of these people who are working here don’t want to strive for some benefits for their own departments. As the general manager, Wei Yandan is naturally inconvenient to speak. Du Guoying wants to give some equity incentives to the communications company, but it has just started this year, so he is really embarrassed to speak up.
After being silent for a while, Zhu Lidong finally spoke.
"Mr. Lu, the marketing department now has a lot of employees, and everyone is working very hard. Sales in all aspects this year are good, and sales channels have opened up in many cities. Can you also issue a certain amount of equity incentives to some middle-level managers?" Zhu Lidong asked.
asked.
"Why does the marketing department need so much equity incentive? Isn't there a bonus? Bonuses for middle management are enough. If it is diluted too much at one time, it will be worthless. Let's talk about it next time." Lu Feng prevaricates.
Zhu Lidong could only nod and agree. When he opened his mouth, he knew that it was impossible. If Mr. Lu agreed to him, Du Guoying would ask for it immediately. If Kevin knew about this, he would definitely ask for it too. In the end
It's just that the chicken soup of equity incentives is diluted into a bowl of water, which is thin and tasteless.
"Regarding the Electrical Appliance City, three proposals have been submitted before. I reviewed them briefly. Don't make it too big, just a few hundred square meters. Hang a big sign outside with a red light.
To put it bluntly, it is just a large specialty store, but we can free up some spaces to attract other partners to settle in. We rent the store ourselves, and partners will try it for free in the first year. For example, Nokia will give it a counter."
"First, plan and publicize in major cities. Everything should be comprehensive. The main highlight is one-stop shopping for electrical appliances, which is cheap, affordable and guaranteed. My idea is to start ten next year, in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Opening stores in prosperous locations in first-tier cities like Beijing is, firstly, to fulfill the requirements in the prospectus, and secondly, to test the waters. A dozen or so stores won’t cost much, so 50 million is enough.”
"Does this require the establishment of a separate department?" Wei Yandan looked at the folder and said, "I would like to see the establishment of a supermarket department affiliated with the group to operate specifically. The advertising and publicity aspect will be left to the marketing department for unified management."
"Okay, let's run it as a department first, and then split it up when it grows." Lu Feng nodded and agreed.
This meeting lasted the whole afternoon, and many issues within the group were discussed. There was no problem with the group's overall framework, and the direction was correct. However, some departments and supervision needed to be strengthened, especially to deal with the inertia of the management.
and corruption issues.
In the evening, the meeting had just dispersed. Lu Feng stood up, stretched out his body, and said to everyone: "I'm treating you tonight. Let's get together to celebrate. It's August 15th soon, so we can celebrate the festival in advance."
"Okay!" Zhu Lidong knew that Lu Feng might spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, so he said, "How about we spend the Mid-Autumn Festival this year at the company?"
As soon as this proposal came out, things went cold. I was always busy and had no time to spend with my family. I finally got a break and had to spend the holidays with Lu Feng. It was a bit much.
"No, no, just have a meal tonight. I'm busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Lu Feng joked, "Don't think I don't have a home now, but I have a home everywhere."
"Mr. Lu is 'home everywhere'!" Du Guoying said with a smile.
Everyone burst into laughter. Indeed, with Lu Feng's financial resources, age, and appearance, it is not unusual for him to be "home all over the world".
In the evening, everyone was seated in a private room of a five-star hotel. Compared with the internal dinner parties of some companies, the top management of Jiafeng Electronics was relatively relaxed. There was no intrigue in those companies, and they were very calm when facing Lu Feng.
While eating and drinking, we no longer talked about work, but basically talked about home. In the past two years, everyone here has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Wei Yandan is definitely the one who has changed the most.
.
"I have been in the company for three years. Three years ago, I never dreamed that I would become the president of such a large company. During that time, I was busy supplementing some knowledge and studying like crazy. My husband felt that there was someone outside me.
He was making trouble every day and got divorced in a fit of anger. He also spread rumors at home that Mr. Lu and I were having an affair." Wei Yandan couldn't help laughing as she said this.
Everyone present laughed constantly.
"My family didn't understand me at that time. I stayed in the office and was busy for several days. After the divorce, I became more focused. I thought about the company's problems and my thinking became clearer. Now no one opposes me, and he comes back again.
Come to me and say that you are willing to be a housewife, clean up the house at home, and wash and clean the house." Wei Yandan said with emotion.
Three years, no one knows how she survived these three years. Sitting in this position requires too much sacrifice.
"Tired is really tiring. Mr. Lu is different from other bosses. I think he is even more tired, not to mention he is also divorced. Maybe that sentence is right. If you want to hang out in the world, it is best to be single." Zhu Lidong looked in front of him.
Holding the wine glass, he said: "It's better to get together less and stay apart more."
"There is no best of both worlds in this world. Those who have time do not have money, and those who have money do not have time. Those who have money and time but are still young and can play. That is called a prodigal. People have to choose a path. I know you are tired.
Lu Feng looked at the crowd and said: "But have you ever thought about it? When you rush through, you will never have to be so tired in your life. There are too many poor people in this world gritting their teeth and saying, give me as much money as you want, and let me do whatever I want.
No matter what, you must know such a person, right?"
"Hahahahaha!" Everyone laughed bitterly.
"Isn't this what you are doing now? I've given you so much money and opportunities to build a great company. I think this is the meaning of life. Jiafeng Electronics is not my Jiafeng. Let's work together to build a great company.
The peak of business, this peak will also prove our life."
"You envy others' leisure, and others also envy your busyness. Life is like this. You can always see others but not yourself. After all, we are other people's mirrors!" Lu Feng picked up the wine glass in his hand and said: "
You must learn to adjust your mentality and rest when you need to. With the establishment of the board of directors and the emergence of the rotating president, I believe that it won’t be long before everyone has the opportunity to take off their heavy responsibilities and spend some time with their families. Maybe I will too.
retire."
Everyone looked at Lu Feng in unison!
"Cheers, don't think too much about the future, it's boring." Lu Feng picked up the wine glass.
The meal was quite enjoyable. Lu Feng talked a lot about Thailand. Everyone was frightened, especially the shootout part. Everyone knew that the environment abroad was not that good, and the forces behind it were complicated and complicated.
thread.
It was around ten o'clock in the evening, after the dinner had dispersed, and Lu Feng was a little drunk. He stood at the door of the hotel, and the bright moon in the sky was about to be full.
"The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round!" Lu Feng lit a cigarette, got in the car and went straight back to the company.
