Zou Guodong's words made Ning Weimin feel helpless for the first time.
He received all the trust and reliance in these words.
But it is precisely because of this that he feels that the weight of human kindness and morality is particularly heavy, and he cannot easily lie or deceive the other person.
Zou Guodong also quickly noticed the abnormality in Ning Weimin's expression.
He originally just mentioned it casually, but at this time he couldn't help but become nervous and took the issue seriously.
"I said, you don't really have any plans to leave the company, do you? That won't work. I thought we had agreed upon letting you go to Tokyo in the first place. You can't just keep your word..."
When Ning Weimin saw Zou Guodong's reaction, and thought of the tense relationship between them, he was filled with emotion, sigh, and even found it a bit funny.
After thinking about it, I could only try to persuade him as tactfully as possible.
"There are no absolutes in the world. The original agreement did not say that I would stay in the company forever. Besides, if you think about it from another perspective, if one day I become a hindrance to the company's development, or if I leave the company, it will have a negative impact on the company's development.
It’s more beneficial, so should I leave?”
"The hypothesis you mentioned is impossible. You are still a shareholder of the company. I have never heard of a shareholder leaving his company..." Zou Guodong retorted without hesitation.
"But don't forget. In addition to being a shareholder of Pierre Cardin Company, I am also a shareholder of Yi La De Company. I also have shares in Gingerbread Man Fast Food and Yunyuan International Hotel. If I leave
Picardon, it’s reasonable to work for these companies, right?”
Okay, this sentence left Zou Guodong speechless.
But no, Ning Weimin was involved in too many companies.
Otherwise, he would not be concerned about Pierre Cardon's human resources, urging Zou Guodong to improve the company's management loopholes, and engage in some kind of "metabolism" project in personnel matters.
If nothing else, let’s just say that the foreign wine shop opened by Ning Weimin today will bring considerable profits in the long run.
The key to this company's shares is that Ning Weimin holds the majority share.
Compared with Ning Weimin's small stake in Pierre Cardon, it is difficult to say which side Ning Weimin has benefited more from.
So Zou Guodong's brain was down for a long time before he finally found a reason.
"Hey, you are not a short-sighted person. Pierre Cardin is the leader in high-end clothing in China, and now it has its own building and high-end catering business. Don't you think only Pierre Cardin can unleash your full capabilities?
What’s more, the company’s current solid foundation
Foundation, and you have made great contributions. Can you really rest assured if you want to let go? What if I take the company and go astray? I ruined your hard work, aren't you sad? Besides, my
If you are not as capable as you and you want to leave the company, then I should leave..."
Zou Guodong is a proud and arrogant person.
Now that he admits to his face that he is not as good as Ning Weimin, we can see how serious and anxious he is.
It is precisely because of this that Ning Weimin immediately realized that this topic could not be discussed any further today, otherwise it would easily hurt his feelings.
"That's enough for this matter. Mr. Zou, don't you think we are all a little unfounded? What are we talking about now? What's the point? I think we should hurry up first.
discuss more practical issues.
By the way, there are a few important things related to the company's development opportunities, which I suddenly thought of recently. I think it is necessary to talk to you first, and then talk to Mr. Song. For example, we should take advantage of this opportunity, such as the Olympic Games.
Do a wave of marketing..."
Based on Zou Guodong's understanding of Ning Weimin, he certainly knew that he was deliberately interrupting and trying to divert the attention of both parties.
But the problem is that the topic brought up by Ning Weimin is attractive enough to seduce his curiosity.
So there was no choice but to let it succeed.
"What? The Olympics...? But the Olympics, aren't they held in Seoul?"
"Yes, but Olympic athletes will also appear on the TV screen. And the audience comes from all over the world. I think we can completely follow the example of the Asian Games and contact the Sports Bureau to sponsor the Chinese team's clothing. Pierre Cardin sponsors
Suits, national style under my personal name, sponsored sportswear. We
We can even jointly donate a sum of money to provide appropriate bonuses to winning athletes. For example, a gold medal of 50,000, a silver medal of 20,000, and a bronze medal of 10,000. This will definitely make us more famous and make the two brands more popular. It will also benefit us.
The morale of the national team may help athletes achieve better results..."
"Well, you're right. This is a good opportunity for free advertising. Especially the bonus idea is very unique. We will have to find time to discuss it later..."
"Also, the country has relaxed its entry standards for the publishing industry. I think it is time for the company to consider setting up a fashion magazine of our own. I mean, it is not limited to clothing. The advantage is that there are
With our own advertising platform, we can further control the voice of the industry and even lead the fashion trend. The disadvantage is that the domestic consumer market needs to be cultivated, and most of the sales will not be large at the beginning. If we want to be ahead of others, we will definitely lose money, and
Be prepared to lose money in the long term..."
"Well, if we want to discuss this matter, we need to make an estimate in advance. I'll ask Xiong Jianmin to take the time to do it..."
"One last thing, I heard that Menimus' losses have further worsened. I mean, you might as well consider discontinuing the planning and positioning of this French simple meal and sell the store to me..."
"Fuck you. Menimus's current losses are directly related to your gingerbread man. How can you still make such a shameless request? You are too shameless..."
"Don't get me wrong, that's why I want to buy it. If you sell it to me, the price will definitely be better, and I will bear the loss. This is my gratitude and compensation to the company. If you really don't
If you are willing to sell, then I have another suggestion. Menimus can form a joint venture with the Gingerbread Man.
The Wenmen store can be converted into the 'Gingerbread Man & Menimus French Restaurant'. From now on, the operation will be completely handed over to the Gingerbread Man. However, some exclusive dishes of Menimus can still be maintained, such as duck confit and almond cake.
If the restaurant continues to lose money, it will be mine. If it can turn a profit, we will share the profit..."
In this way, as Ning Weimin made suggestions one by one, even if Zou Guodong kept thinking about it and tried to find an opportunity to bring the topic back to the issue they originally discussed, he could no longer do so.
After all, they are sitting in the audience, and their conditions are limited. They can neither speak loudly nor have much time.
But in a short period of time, Zou Guodong was bombarded with so much information.
Now he had to digest Ning Weimin's brilliant ideas first. He even wanted to find paper and pen to write them down right away. How could he care about anything else?
The only one to blame is that Ning Weimin is such a smart guy, he always comes up with some brilliant ideas.
He is also good at attacking people's minds. He can take the initiative in the conversation at any time and control the rhythm of the conversation as he pleases.
As for Manager Sha, although Ning Weimin and Zou Guodong paid no attention to him at all.
But at this time, he was also speaking with high spirits on the stage. Even he himself did not expect that he would speak so well.
He saw the people in the audience applauding him from time to time.
He saw his good buddies and gave him a thumbs up.
He saw his old colleagues in the company, and all of them had jealousy and envy in their eyes...
Unfortunately, the speech script was limited after all. He enjoyed the scenery on the stage and spoke freely for about ten minutes, which was already too long.
Finally, we have to move on to the next step, otherwise as noon approaches, most of the guests who are eager for the banquet to begin may protest.
"...I would like to thank the French LVMH Group again for its trust, the French company Pierre Cardin for its strong support, the leaders of the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau for their meticulous care, and our first batch of customers for their sincere cooperation. I also want to thank everyone today.
A guest…”
In this way, as Manager Sha finished his speech, the opening ceremony finally came to an end.
After a burst of warm applause, all the guests who had just been sitting at their seats stood up, filed out, and walked towards the buffet restaurant next door.
Needless to say, on this occasion, Manager Sha naturally understood his responsibilities. He had to do everything first, say more polite words, and say more words of gratitude. This is called politeness to many people and is not surprising.
Especially since Ning Weimin is the first to be involved, we must take good care of him and satisfy the chairman of the company.
But the problem is that Manager Sha walked to the door of the cafeteria and waited. Many guests had said hello, even Zou Guodong and Xiong Jianmin came over.
He hadn't seen Ning Weimin coming to have dinner with the army for quite a while, so he didn't think it was strange.
Of course he had to go back to the venue where the meeting had just been held to take a look.
As a result, when he saw it, he almost lost his breath and was shocked out of his mind.
Good guy, why didn’t Ning Weimin come out?
It turned out that the old colleagues who had speculated on stamps together were here, surrounded by Ning Weimin.
Everyone took advantage of his absence to bow to Ning Weimin shamelessly, and some even wanted to take advantage of him and poach him.
"Mr. Ning, we are all old colleagues and friends. You can't favor one over the other. Don't I know what Lao Sha is capable of? You might as well support me if you cooperate with him..."
"Go, you're not much better than Lao Sha. You guys are the same. Mr. Ning, I know you have a wide range of business opportunities and a lot of business. If you have any ideas for starting a company or getting rich, tell me.
I would like to have the opportunity to cooperate with you..."
"Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning, I have no other request. I just want to study hard with you and serve you. If you are willing, I can go to Japan with you. It doesn't matter if my position is reduced by one level; as long as you say a word...
"
"Mr. Ning, I have many friends in Shanghai. Otherwise, I can resign and work with you. We can open a branch in Shanghai. I don't want to brag. As long as you are willing to use me, my performance will be at least 30% higher than Lao Sha...
…”
"Mr. Ning, Lao Sha has the most thoughtful people. He may be doing some tricks behind his back when you go to Tokyo. You must trust me, or I can keep an eye on him for you. I have always been reliable in doing things. You
Give me the position of vice president, and I will be yours from now on. I guarantee you will keep an eye on Lao Sha for you..."
Just this scene really made Manager Sha see it in his eyes and hate it in his heart. His temples were beating so fast.
As the saying goes, true heroes don't wear red pants, and every fat man is a legend.
There is no need to say more about what to do in this situation.
Manager Sha immediately rushed forward, and his voice sounded like hemorrhoids in his throat, making people feel blood red when he heard it.
"You bunch of thieves are quick to learn how to be shameless. Get the hell out of here! Stay away from Mr. Ning, our family!"
However, even though Manager Sha was on guard, he was unable to stop these old colleagues from moving closer to Ning Weimin.
After all, everyone has a progressive heart. Who wouldn't want to leave the company peacefully like him and follow Ning Weimin to make a fortune.
So the end of February and the beginning of March became the resignation month of Pierre Cardon China Corporation.
Zhao Daqing from the design department, Qi Yanjun from the quality inspection department, Gu Haitao from the planning department... almost six or seven former senior executives from various departments submitted their resignation reports one after another, and they were successfully approved.
Not to mention, almost every one of them took away one or two of their own loyal friends and confidants from the company.
For a time, the company's grassroots employees were in a panic privately.
Most people think this is a collective counterattack by executives.
It is those senior people who are openly expressing their dissatisfaction with the company's management model by giving up their choices. They are giving eye drops to Zou Guodong and Xiong Jianmin.
So they also determined that the collective resignation of these executives would inevitably cause internal chaos in the company.
Many people have speculated that President Song Hua, Gui Song, will regret it if things go wrong, and that Zou Guodong and Xiong Jianmin may actually be held accountable for their blow to the company's main artery.
However, the reality is completely different from what these grassroots employees imagined.
Not only did the company's internal operations run normally after these senior executives left, but these senior executive positions were quickly filled with more qualified candidates.
They are all younger people in the company with higher academic qualifications, especially women.
For example, Ning Weimin's former subordinates, Yan Li, Gan Lu, and Yang Liujin, who were brought out by him, were all promoted in this major blood change within Pierre Cardon Company and became new successors.
Although they lack experience, it seems that those who left did not deliberately create any difficulties for these successors.
Whenever they encountered doubts or difficulties, they called to inquire and received dedicated responses and help every time.
What's more, women's gender advantage is that they are careful and more patient. Therefore, Pierre Cardon Company passed the risky stage of handover quite smoothly and began to enter the mature stage of rapid development.
This can't help but make many people wonder, and they can't figure out the reason.
There's nothing we can do about it, because the positions of these grassroots employees are their biggest limitation.
Of course they don't know that this personnel change itself is a deal reached by some people in private.
Of course they would not know that the senior executives who left were all registering private companies with the industrial and commercial authorities.
In the near future, they will become legal persons of a cultural entertainment company, a gift company, an advertising company, and a hotel management company respectively.
Even the business of these companies has basically matured, and the minimum registered capital is one million.
Of course, the most important thing is that they don't know that the major shareholders of these companies all point to the same person - Ning Weimin.
Otherwise, they would be shocked and realize that based on the original Pierre Cardon Company, a prototype of a business empire was actually born.
