What the future umbrella food company needs most is innovation. It is said that Shogo Takahashi is the most suitable. However, Shogo Takahashi lacks one thing, and that is John's methods. No one is perfect.
The four candidates all have obvious shortcomings, which is a huge headache for Guo Yongren. Edgar is also thinking about what Guo Yongren said. It makes sense. Over the years, he has relied entirely on his own experience to do things.
There is no innovation at all. This time, it can be seen from the product lines of European companies. In addition to instant noodles, they are still instant noodles. Unlike Japan and Southeast Asia, they have expanded into the biscuit market.
Edgar could also see that Guo Yongren was biased towards him, but he could not live up to this and had to do something. Otherwise, if he failed in the competition, he would be really embarrassed to see others.
"Korn Ferry and Umbrella are partners. If I don't have the ability in this area, then I leave it to professionals to handle professional matters. Isn't that what I do?" Guo Yongren pointed at Edgar.
Edgar smiled. He was really stupid. "Thank you boss, I think I know what to do." Edgar said to Guo Yongren seriously, and Guo Yongren nodded.
Edgar understood, and Guo Yongren was relieved. He chatted with Edgar for a while, and clearly told Edgar that his next stop was France and that he would inspect the French branch. Of course Edgar could only welcome it.
"Don't patronize the welcome. I only inspect one thing, and that is Five S management. I want to know how far you have achieved it. You should have seen the Five S management in the United States. It has been one year, and this time should be enough.
If you don’t do it well, you’ll need a big deal.” Guo Yongren looked at Edgar and said seriously.
"Boss, the Five S is indeed advanced. I really haven't relaxed in this area. I conduct surprise inspections in France, the United Kingdom, and Germany from time to time. The performance of France will satisfy the boss." Edger was very happy.
Said with certainty, Guo Yongren smiled.
Everything depends on reality. Let the facts speak for themselves. After another conversation, Edgar was sent away. Guo Yongren then returned to the villa. Today's matters were all settled.
Guo Yongren has changed in the past two days. When Aselina said she would go there, Guo Yongren would accompany her. She was very gentle. As long as Aselina liked it, Guo Yongren would buy it directly.
Aselina is not stupid. She understands that this is a sign that Guo Yongren is about to leave. She begins to cherish this time. The two basically get up together, exercise together, go shopping together, walk together, rest together, etc. It can be said that
inseparable.
After losing Aselina for a week, Guo Yongren left the UK and flew directly to France. He had always said that he wanted to visit France, but he never had the chance. Now he has the chance.
After arriving in Paris, France, I rested for a day and then drove directly to Orleans, where the production base of Umbrella Food Company is located.
The Orleans branch has received the notice from Emilia and has prepared the hotel. It is very serious. Just kidding, the big boss of the umbrella system came to inspect, so he really did not dare to neglect at all.
What's more, the chairman has a great reputation. It will definitely not be easy for him to make all the general managers obey him. They have all experienced Edgar's methods, and those who can subdue Edgar will definitely be even more powerful.
Edgar left Guo Yongren's place that day and called the Orleans branch directly. The big boss was going to inspect the next stop and focus on assessing Five S management. The entire Orleans branch was in a state of panic.
Umbrella Food Company can be said to be a large enterprise, and every move of the company is closely watched by the government. The abnormal behavior of the food company aroused the idea of the city government. After calling to inquire, I found out that the big boss of the Umbrella Group was coming to inspect.
I feel relieved.
In this era, the best hotel is the Hilton Hotel. Battisian, the head of the Orleans branch, booked the hotel early and is waiting at the Hilton Hotel today.
Guo Yongren's fleet is rented and provided by Hilton Hotel. As a key customer of Hilton Hotel, he still has this right. What's more, Guo Yongren will stay at Hilton Hotel in Orleans, so he must provide it.
France does not have Guo Yongren's exclusive fleet. After all, there is only one food branch here. If there is subsequent investment, it may increase, but now there is no need at all.
As soon as the convoy entered the Hilton Hotel, someone came to serve them immediately. The hotel waiters were also smart. They must be big shots to allow the hotel to provide so many luxury cars. Hilton Hotels are very arrogant in this era. It's not what you want.
Just like that.
Guo Yongren got out of the car and headed to the hotel lobby with his staff. Battisian came over with the management staff. They had all seen Guo Yongren’s photo. Just kidding, you don’t know what the big boss looks like, so don’t mess around.
.
Guo Yongren shook hands with them. Vincent and others took the room card and went directly upstairs to inspect Guo Yongren's room. This move made Battisian and others feel very professional. It was the first time they had seen such a thing.
Only then can he be worthy of being a world-class rich man.
After the inspection, Guo Yongren checked into the hotel, "Batisian, you guys should also rest. Thank you for your hard work. Come with me to the base tomorrow," Guo Yongren said directly.
"Okay, Chairman, I won't disturb your rest. We will come over early tomorrow morning," Battisian said directly, saying goodbye to Guo Yongren politely, and Guo Yongren sent them out of the room.
Emilia also said hello to Guo Yongren and went back to rest, without teasing Guo Yongren. Emilia knew very well that this week, Guo Yongren was squeezed dry by Aselina. The bursts of screams at night made Emily
Yadu didn't sleep well, especially in the last two days. Guo Yongren would not let go during the day.
Guo Yongren now needs a lot of rest and recovery, so he asked the hotel to send him lunch. He specially ordered the specialties of Orleans, barbecue. Guo Yongren ate a lot, drank a lot of red wine, took a hot bath, and went straight to rest.
Needs to be restored.
I spent the whole day in the hotel, and I really had no energy. However, when I went to bed at night, I still insisted on exercising. The amount of activity was not large. I did Longmen Tai Chi again, which was very good for physical recovery.
Early the next morning, Battisian came over with two people. Guo Yongren also had breakfast, got in the car with Emilia, and went straight to the production base.
Umbrella Food Company is also a large enterprise in Orleans, with four production lines and up to 600 employees. The construction of the production base can be said to be very beautiful, which Edgar has done very well.
Knowing Guo Yongren's preferences, garden-style companies, which can be said to be umbrella companies, all do this. The greening is very good, and the production base is located in the suburbs.
In just over forty minutes, Guo Yongren's motorcade entered the production base. After getting off the bus, they did not go to the office, but went straight to the production workshop. Of course, they were stopped at the door and had to change clothes.
Guo Yongren smiled and was very satisfied with this. He changed his clothes as required and then went in. The machine roared and everything was going on in an orderly manner. There were uniform work clothes, operating procedures and various warnings hanging everywhere on the walls.
Guo Yongren nodded, it was very good. He looked at three workshops in a row, then the warehouse, raw material warehouse, etc., and basically went around in a circle. It was very good, although it was not as good as in the United States, but it was done based on experience.
Very good.
Then he followed everyone to the conference room. After Guo Yongren sat down, "Hello, Chairman." Guo Yongren nodded, waved his hands and everyone sat down in order.
Battisian stood up and said, "Chairman, we only started production at the end of September last year. If there are any deficiencies, please ask the chairman for advice." Battisian looked serious.
"Batisian, have you ever visited the production base in the United States?" Guo Yongren looked at Battisian and asked.
"No, but General Manager Edgar has introduced that the production base in the United States is the most standardized," Battisian said seriously. This is not a lie. Edgar said this more than once.
Guo Yongren nodded and said to Amelia next to him, "Notify Edgar when we get back and ask him to arrange for all production base management to visit the United States for a week." Guo Yongren said directly, and Amelia recorded it.
Waving his hand, Battis sat down, "Gentlemen, I can tell you clearly that the system implemented in the United States is collectively called the Five S management. I proposed it when I saw that there were too many problems in the production bases in the United States.
The U.S. production base has been rectified and can now be said to be number one in the world," Guo Yongren said while looking at the people present.
"Of course, you haven't seen it and you may have questions. This is normal. So I just planned to let you go and see for yourself what is the real Five S management. Although you have done a good job, but there are still
There are great ways to improve," Guo Yongren said, looking at the people present.
I don’t tell them too much now, and they can’t listen. Only after letting them see the gap for themselves can they understand what’s going on. The next time is for Guo Yongren to listen to their various reports.
Overall, it was pretty good. Guo Yongren gave it a passable rating. I had a light meal in the company canteen at noon, and then left the company directly without anyone giving it to me.
After Guo Yongren left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Guo Yongren didn't speak much, he revealed a certain amount of oppression. When he returned to the hotel, Guo Yongren talked on the phone with Edgar.
Team leaders and above went to the United States to study for a week and asked Edgar to make arrangements. Edgar must have complied with it. Now Edgar has not set off, but is studying Takahashi Shogo and Su Yanfei in the UK.
It is obvious that these two people have surpassed themselves and John from the United States in terms of innovation. After reading the information, Edgar is convinced. The chairman is right. If he cannot innovate, this aspect must be strengthened.
