"With such a huge investment, how can you guarantee that the group will make considerable profits?"
"It doesn't matter if the investment is big. As long as I increase the selling price." Hehehe smiled. Ling Cang continued: "Nowadays, there are more and more wealthy people in the country. There are more and more people who pay attention to the quality of life. The price of my products is higher than Similar products are several times more expensive. But the nutritional content of my grains is much higher, my vegetables do not contain any pesticide residues, and my milk will not make you unable to pee after drinking it... I believe there will be many people who are willing to do so. Pay high prices for my products.”
"Okay. I fully support you." Mr. Zheng told Ling Cang without hesitation: "Set up a new enterprise under Century Group. It can be called Century Green Farmers. This plan involves the lease of a large amount of agricultural land. I can help coordinate. I just don’t know where you fell in love with it.”
"Just the black land." Ling Cang said word by word: "That's my hometown."
"It seems you have a lot of affection for your hometown. Haha. That's good."
Ling Cang doesn't know where his real hometown is at all. But he does have deep feelings for the black land where he grew up: "Actually, I also have other considerations. There is only one crop in the Northeast a year, which means that even if we wait until the official After it is put into operation, you can also have half a year to restore the soil fertility. This is the basis for sustainable development. It is more in line with my idea."
"good."
"In addition, there is one more thing..." After a moment of silence, Ling Cang said a little cautiously: "I have a very outstanding talent around me who is suitable to be the CEO of Century Group."
Regarding the establishment of Century Group, Ling Cang only drew up the plan. The specific work was completed by others. The members were all drawn from various state-owned enterprises.
This caused two problems. First, Ling Cang was in vain as the chairman, but could not actually affect the group, because there was no Ling Cang soldier in the whole group from top to bottom; second, the existing staff would inevitably bring State-owned enterprises have shortcomings such as overstaffing, low work efficiency and bloated institutions. There may even be a lot of corruption.
If Ling Cang wants to eradicate these two problems, he must put his own people into it. This idea has been around for a long time, but Ling Cang has never had the opportunity to formally propose it.
Mr. Zheng immediately figured out what Ling Cang was thinking. He asked with a smile: "Are you worried about the personnel of the group?"
"The person I know is indeed a business wizard. It's a pity that he is not used by the group." Ling Cang neither admitted nor denied. He kept his words ambiguous: "And I think the group needs to add new blood."
"If you are really worried, you can tell me directly. There is no need to beat around the bush like this."
Ling Cang's attitude was still vague: "I never said I had such worries."
"But you never denied that you were worried."
Mr. Zheng was a bit reluctant. He must ask Ling Cang clearly what he was thinking. But Ling Cang had his own countermeasures: "Mr. Zheng, you always ask me if I am worried. Does it indirectly mean that you don't care about me?" confidence."
"You kid, you are always so eloquent..." Mr. Zheng no longer dwelled on this issue. Instead, he admitted a little helplessly: "Due to their backgrounds, the current staff of the group are inevitably pedantic and arrogant. Performance and integrity are also true. That's the problem. Like you said, adding some new blood is indeed a good thing."
"Then it's settled."
"good."
This so-called "business wizard" does not exist at all. Ling Cang's real plan is to negotiate with Mr. Zheng first, and then ask Sikong You to select someone for him.
There is no way that the Third Division can harm him. The people he sends must be loyal and reliable. But there is only one detail in the whole thing.
The one who has the ability to select talents is Situ Dao. Si Kongyou is not directly responsible for the operation of the company, so there is no way to select them. But Lingcang cannot contact Situ Dao, so he can only go to Sikong You.
Sikong You never admitted it directly. He had restored contact with Situ Dao and Sikouchang. However, Ling Cang already had this suspicion. This time, Sikong You was asked to select people. It was actually a test.
In other words, Sikong You can only find the right person through Situ Dao. If Sikong refuses, it means that nothing in the past has changed. If Sikong agrees, it means that there is a connection between the three companies.
As for Sikong You, as the most outstanding think tank under Ling Yang, he immediately realized Ling Cang’s true intention as soon as he heard Ling Cang’s request. However, his first task was to assist Ling Cang, so he immediately agreed: "I try my best."
Within two days, Sikong You found a suitable candidate. Then he invited Ling Cang to his home: "This person is Liu Min'an. He will be here in ten minutes."
"what kind of person."
"Graduated from Harvard Business School in M country with a Master of Business Administration. At Chenyang International, he served as human resources assistant, assistant to the president, second vice president, first vice president and director of the CEO's office. It can be said that he worked his way up from the bottom. Not only is he very talented, he is also honest and reliable. He is a key training target in Chenyang International." After a pause, Si Kongyou continued to introduce: "He is the default candidate for the next president. He was originally unwilling to come to Century Group. It was me. It took a lot of words to convince him. After all, he can directly become CEO when he comes to Century Group. The position is much higher than that of president. Besides, Century Group has a background that is quite attractive."
Ling Cang originally knew nothing about business management. However, after establishing Century Group, he learned a lot of knowledge in this area. With some introductions from Sikong You, Ling Cang had a general understanding of Chenyang International's organizational system.
Simply put, the top executive of Chenyang International is the CEO. He is referred to as the CEO or CEO. He is held by Situ Dao. He leads the CEO's office and is responsible for formulating corporate development strategies and plans. Members include the chief operating officer, chief technology officer officer and chief financial officer. As well as a large team of consultants.
The CEO has his own team of assistants and secretaries. However, the overall operation of the CEO's office requires a dedicated person to be responsible for it. That is the office director. This position is not very high, but it is very important. Therefore, it must be filled by a close confidant of the CEO.
The CEO's office plays a macro leadership role. The person responsible for the specific affairs of the company is the president. The president is directly responsible to the CEO. According to Chenyang International's internal practice, after working as the office director for several years, he can usually be promoted to the president. It can be seen from this that Liu Min'an His position is very important. He can be called Situ Dao's beloved general.
Liu Min'an arrived soon. He was of medium build. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked gentle. After he was introduced to Ling Cang by Sikong You, he said bluntly: "I already understand the general situation. Please feel free to rest assured. I We must do our best to run Century Group well."
"Good management is only one aspect..." Ling Cang looked at Liu Min'an and said slowly: "There is another very important thing. You must ensure my control over Century Group."
"Of course." Liu Min'an smiled slyly. "As long as I am here, no one can control Century Group better than you."
"Very good." Ling Cang nodded: "Being a corporate executive is not about work, but about interpersonal relationships. I believe that you graduated from Harvard and have worked for Chenyang International for many years. You must have your own circle. .If there are suitable talents among them, I hope you can dig into Century Group and gradually master all important positions."
"That's natural. But..." Liu Min'an said thoughtfully: "This work must be done slowly. It cannot be accomplished overnight."
"You're worried about drawing attention to yourself."
"right."
"Well. You are very thoughtful..." Ling Cang asked with a smile: "There is another key to all the things. Do you know what it is."
"Confidential." Liu Min'an replied without hesitation: "Your identity, the background of Chenyang International and the affairs of Century Group must be kept secret."
"Exactly." Ling Cang nodded. Then he told Sikong You: "I am very satisfied with this person."
Sikong didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Liu Min'an: "How do you feel about Ling Cang?"
"This..." Liu Min'an smiled a little awkwardly: "It seems that I have no right to comment."
Sikong You waved his hand carelessly: "I ask you to say it. Just say it."
"Old guy..." Ling Cang was very serious just now. He showed maturity and sensitivity far beyond his actual age. But now he suddenly transformed into a little ruffian: "Are you eager for someone to make fun of me?"
Sikong You asked back: "How do you know that others will definitely ridicule you?"
"Mr. Sikong is right." Liu Min'an smiled and told Ling Cang: "If I must evaluate it, then I would say that everything you have shown is completely inconsistent with your actual age."
When Ling Cang heard this, he immediately straightened his collar and pretended to be mature, making his voice deeper: "Really?"
"That's right. You are like a big shot who has been through many trials and tribulations. It's just..." Liu Min'an said a little cautiously: "You look like a high school student."
Although he pointed out a shortcoming in the end, it was not really a shortcoming. Ling Cang was very satisfied with Liu Minan: "You are so good at talking."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Ling Cang made a gesture of invitation: "Continue."
Liu Minan was startled for a moment: "Ah."
"Keep praising me." Ling Cang fiddled with his hair and said seriously: "I like to hear it."
Liu Min'an had met many different people, but this was the first time he met someone who actively asked him to praise him. He immediately felt that Ling Cang was really a top performer.
He knew something about Ling Cang's background, so he didn't dare to disobey him. Besides, it would be good to pat Ling Cang on his back. But he didn't know how to flatter Ling Cang. He really didn't know what to say, so he was stunned for a while.
