With a "bang", the door of the conference room opened. Two security personnel each controlled a door. The door opened, and Gao Jin walked in with Jane.
The security personnel following him immediately dispersed and stood around, and the general managers of various subsidiaries who were sitting there chatting stopped chatting and stood up.
Gao Jin went to the main seat and sat down. Jane stood in her seat next to him. Gao Jin glanced around the crowd, waved his hands, and everyone sat down.
Turning to Xu Zhengyang and nodding, Xu Zhengyang waved his hand, and the security personnel in the room began to rush into the conference room, including Xu Zhengyang, and they also left the conference room, and the door was closed again.
The conference room is very soundproofed. Even if there is an argument inside, people outside will not be able to hear the sound.
Gao Jin saw smiles appear on everyone's faces and began to speak.
"Everyone, another year has passed. Last year, our Xingling Group's overall profit reached a new high. This is inseparable from your hard work."
"Your hard work will be reflected in the year-end bonus."
Hearing Gao Jin's words, everyone had smiles on their faces. Compared with the year before, the profits of various subsidiaries of Xingling Group had increased significantly.
As the corporate foundation gradually deepens, it is normal for corporate profits to gradually expand.
Of course
Those companies that engage in gimmicks for the purpose of making money from real estate are not within this scope.
"After so many years of development, Xingling Group has become an extremely large enterprise. Our number of direct employees worldwide has reached 1.7 million."
"This is a good thing. It shows that the influence of our Protoss Group has spread all over the world."
"However, the expansion of the enterprise to its current level has also brought many disadvantages."
"The biggest drawback is that the work done by one person has been done by two people, and our operating costs have shown a rapid upward trend in recent years."
"This problem is not a problem of a certain branch, but a problem that exists from the headquarters of Xingling Group to all branches."
"You have all seen the notice I sent before the end of the year. Your goals for this year will be uniformly arranged by the headquarters."
"Now I will talk about the first arrangement, layoffs."
"Enterprises pursue profits, not charity. All subsidiaries must undergo internal integration and eliminate those useless people."
"This year's layoff target should not be less than 5%. It must be reasonable and legal and cannot be discovered by the outside world."
"Requirement, must be completed before the end of June"
Gao Jin paused here and shot a circle of people. He found that most of the people had calm faces and only a few frowned.
Calm personnel are companies with good returns such as Claude, Mapel, Anderson, Yu Jingjie, and Fang Jingquan.
The frowning ones belong to companies with average corporate profitability.
Needless to say, Claude and others have guessed Gao Jin's thoughts, and they also agree that the Protoss Group has indeed reached the point where it needs to be reorganized.
"The second task is that the headquarters and various branches must provide cash reserves this year."
Gao Jin looked at everyone saying this with a calm expression. This time, everyone was stunned. They did not expect that the second task assigned by Gao Jin would be this.
"I will give you an accurate figure on how much the improvement will be."
"In recent years, the growth rate of international trade has slowed down. According to the analysis of various financial experts around the world, there are many reasons for the slowdown in economic growth."
"In my opinion, there is only one reason for the slowdown in economic growth."
"Technological upgrades have eliminated most people, and the gap between rich and poor has further widened."
"The base of wealthy consumers has been reduced, and the economic downturn is inevitable. This is just the beginning, and it will become more and more serious in the future."
"We can't change the world, all we have to do is adapt to the world and take care of ourselves."
"So, we must increase our ability to resist risks."
"To deal with future crises!"
Gao Jin made this decision not blindly, but with data support. Taking Shengguang Solar Energy Company as an example, sales of solar panels began to decline last year.
Compared with the same period last year, it fell by 3.6%. Although the decline is not much, it is not a good signal.
According to a report submitted to Gao Jin by the world's six major consulting firms, many companies have experienced declining product sales and declining corporate profits.
This is just the beginning, it's not obvious.
But don’t forget a term [economic conductivity]. As more and more companies start to search for it, and the conduct continues step by step, the problems will become more and more serious.
Like a pebble thrown into a calm pond, waves appeared one by one and began to ripple into the distance.
As more and more pebbles fall into the pond, sooner or later the entire pond surface will end up with waves without wind. As for whether the waves are high or small, it depends on the size of the pebbles.
This is the first, second, Gao Jin received a call from Eunice, Bermuda Stamford Bank has begun to tighten loans.
According to Eunice's analysis, in the past three months, many of the clients she is responsible for have begun to apply for loans, with the number increasing month by month.
The first month was just one person, and Eunice didn't care.
In the second month, there were two people, and in the third month, which was the previous month, four people submitted loan applications.
You should know that Eunice is responsible for a group of large customers, and each customer is a real rich man. Usually, there are not many people who take out loans in a year.
Now these rich people have begun to take out loans, and there have been loan imaginations for three consecutive months.
There is definitely a problem!
Although the wealthy are nominally increasing loans for new projects, according to Eunice's analysis, they all have financial problems, and the profits of their properties have begun to decrease.
Underneath the prosperity lies an undercurrent, which is the conclusion Eunice came to.
Gao Jin can draw a conclusion based on the report of Eunice, the report of the consulting company, and the data of the subsidiaries of Xingling Group.
Economic growth is now slowing down, and if nothing unexpected happens next, there will be an economic downturn.
The financial crisis that has not yet appeared is gathering energy!
After analyzing this result, the only thing left is to prepare in advance to resist risks, minimize your own losses, and accumulate strength to see if you can profit from it.
"Your third task this year is integration."
"Some companies want to merge, and strong alliances can produce stronger power!"
When Gao Jin said these words, many people frowned again, especially those companies with average profits. These general managers began to worry.
"Your two companies will merge into one and establish Xingguang Agricultural Group, with Fang Jingquan as the group president and Chen Jingde as the group vice president."
Gao Jin turned around and looked at Fang Jingquan and Chen Jingde as he said this. The two immediately stood up and said "yes".
"You only have half a year to complete the integration, and all work plans must not be delayed. You do not have to hand over any profits this year."
"but"
"After the merger, Starlight Agriculture Group's cash reserves must reach 30 billion euros!"
Gao Jin said, looking at the two of them, Fang Jingquan looked at Gao Jin with a serious look on his face and said, "Chairman, please rest assured, we will definitely achieve our goal."
Last year, the cash reserves of Dafang Agricultural Company reached 11 billion euros, and the cash reserves of Xingguang Agricultural Company also reached the target of more than 7 billion euros.
The two funds add up to more than 18 billion euros. After the merger, new projects will not be launched for the time being, some will be cut to reduce costs, and then profits will be increased. There is a high hope of completing a cash reserve of 30 billion euros.
After hearing what Fang Jingquan said, Gao Jin nodded and waved his hand for the two of them to sit down.
"I would like to remind you that company integration does not make you a leader. If you harm the company's interests because of selfishness, you know what the consequences will be!"
Gao Jin looked at the two of them and warned them. The two immediately stood up and promised repeatedly that they would never play tricks on the hills and would definitely cooperate with each other to bring the company to a higher level.
"It depends on your performance," Gao Jin said and waved his hand for the two of them to sit down.
"Starlight Technology Company, Advanced Materials Research Institute, Recycling Technology Research Institute, Ocean Research Institute,..." As Gao Jin called the names, one person after another stood up.
"You merged to form Starlight Scientific Research Group, with Ge Gongming as the president of the group."
"Miao Hongfa, Zachary, and Chi Tianfeng (Ikeda Teruo changed his name to Chi Tianfeng after acquiring Chinese citizenship), the three of you will serve as vice presidents."
"Your integration is very simple. There are not so many things to do. All you have to do is to conduct a comprehensive review of the current R&D projects of Xingling Group."
"Category the R&D projects into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D, and then come to me with the classified projects. After I personally approve them, we can start integrating researchers."
"We should pay attention to this merger. Researchers will also start to be graded. They are also S, A, B, C, D, five levels. Researchers at each level will receive different funds and materials."
"The relevant salary and benefits should also be different, and the points system that is currently running well must be retained!"
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he looked at Ge Gongming. Ge Gongming immediately said, "Chairman, please rest assured that we will implement the instructions 100%. I will discuss the specific matters with Miao Hongfa, Zachary, and Chi Tianfeng."
Negotiations will begin at the same time.”
"We retain the mechanism that is currently working well and only make some fine-tuning, which will in no way affect the progress of various projects currently under development."
A few days ago, Gao Jin had already expressed his anger with Ge Gongming in advance. Ge Gongming knew what to do and was not panicking at all at the moment.
Gao Jin waved his hand and asked a group of people to sit down. Many people did not dare to express their anger. Today's chairman was too sharp.
"Claude, Zhao Guangming," Gao Jin said, and Claude and Zhao Guangming stood up immediately.
"Aurora Biotech and Starlight Biotech merged to form Starlight Biologics Group"
"Claude serves as group president"
"Zhao Guangming serves as the assistant to the president. You should study hard with President Claude to improve your vision and abilities."
Gao Jin looked at Zhao Guangming and said this. In the past few years, Zhao Guangming has served as the general manager of Xingguang Biological Company, with mediocre results. If he had not acted as the agent for the general distribution rights of Angel Capsules in the Tianchao region,
The profit can only be said to be over.
"Chairman, please rest assured that I will study hard with President Claude and work hard to improve myself."
Zhao Guangming knows his abilities and has seen himself clearly over the past few years, so he has no resentment towards Gao Jin's arrangements at this moment and knows that Gao Jin is giving himself a chance to change.
Gao Jin nodded, turned to look at Claude and said, "You have to arrange the management personnel of the Tianchao branch."
"Don't worry, boss, I will arrange all this," Claude said calmly. Gao Jin nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand for the two of them to sit down.
