After studying in class, Lin Xiaoguang carefully read through the fast food planning proposal written by the five managers of the company, reviewed it, and then took the time to find everyone, hold a meeting, and prepare to announce the results.
One day in April, Qinhuai Food and Beverage held another managers’ meeting.
At the meeting, the routine business started.
After Liao Yuan reported on the production department and factory affairs, Ou Bingde spoke immediately, pondering, and said: "During this period, I have been in contact with the department heads of Wellcome and PARKnSHOP, and they are indeed interested in introducing Qinhuai series products.
This is because the price has not been reached yet and is under further negotiation. In addition, after continuing to negotiate with Bank of China, the loan amount has been slightly increased and is now HK$12 million."
"Keep talking!" Lin Xiaoguang finished speaking and looked aside: "Where is Manager Shi?"
Shi Long nodded, a little excited, and began to say: "Hang Seng is very interested in loans. I contacted them and they can provide a loan amount of 14 million, but they have to use corresponding assets as collateral. HSBC is very interested in our company."
I am interested and said that I can provide a loan of 20 million, but the shares must be pledged."
Of course, Bank of China doesn't need it. They have Hua Run as a guarantee, so although the money is two million more, the conditions are much worse.
Lin Xiaoguang sneered when he heard this. The price-to-earnings ratios of KFC and McDonald's in the food industry were 21 times and 18 times respectively. Calculated at 20 times, Qinhuai Food and Beverage's valuation would be 300 million. HSBC is really greedy. It wants to take such a small amount of money.
Even with all the shares, there is no one left.
“Where is the company’s revenue in March?”
At this time Ji Yun stood up: "I made statistics at the beginning of the month and found that the total revenue in March was 4.45 million, of which 920,000 were payments, so there was only 3.5 million in cash income and a net profit of 1.6 million.
One hundred thousand."
He nodded, pondered, and started the next topic, asking Jiang Shanshan to hand out the five plans and circulate them one by one.
Several people were immersed in watching, examining other people's things word by word. The conference room was very quiet, with only the sound of flipping through papers. After a long time, he knocked on the table, and several people raised their heads.
"Everyone has finished reading. What do you think?" He finished speaking and drank coffee from a cup.
The five people looked at each other without saying a word. After nearly ten seconds of silence, Lin Xiaoguang raised his head, glanced at the people one by one, and finally looked at Tan Guofang and said: "Since no one has said anything, I will name Tan Guofang."
Manager, you start first."
Tan Guofang had no choice but to say: "Mr. Lin, I think your opinion is correct. Manager Liao is very suitable."
Liao Yuan's eyebrows moved, but he remained silent and did not speak.
As the manager of the advertising department, Tan Guofang has always been far away from the company's power center. She is not a strong woman and has little interest in the position of deputy general manager. Besides, she has a child to take care of now and is short on energy and time. She can do a good job in the advertising department.
The work is extremely difficult, so there is not much desire for promotion.
She was relatively indifferent, but she also knew that the people vying for this position were actually just Liao Yuan, Ou Bingde and Shi Long.
Who should she choose among these three people? As a colleague, no matter what, she could not clearly stand on her side. Even if she had such thoughts in her heart, she could not say it. After all, if the person who took the position was not the person she expected, then she would have
Trouble.
"Manager Shi, what do you think?" Lin Xiaoguang was noncommittal and looked at Shi Long, who was a little disappointed.
Shi Long thought a lot and felt that he was out of his wits. He even dreamed of the position of deputy general manager and was overestimating his abilities. After thinking for a while, he had accepted the reality and stood up quickly: "Mr. Lin, I have no objection. Manager Liao has been taking this position for a while."
I am responsible for factory production and ensuring the logistics supply of convenience stores. I am doing a good job and I have no objection."
Ou Bingde's face was calm, but he felt very sad.
In the power distribution of Qinhuai Food and Beverage, the sales department can be said to be number one. The company relies entirely on them to make money. No matter how great the production department's contribution is, it is in vain if the factory produces products that cannot be sold. There is also the development department, which has not made substantial progress in many projects.
Before substantial profits are made, this big spender cannot be compared with the sales department in terms of importance.
Therefore, the five target candidates, Tan Guofang from the advertising department and Ji Yun from the finance department, were actually just accompanying the prince to study. The real competition started between Liao Yuan, him, and Shi Long.
Among the three, he is the only one with the greatest possibility. This is also known to everyone. After all, fast food restaurants are engaged in grassroots sales.
But the result surprised him.
Lin Xiaoguang ignored him, looked at Ji Yun again, and asked, "What does Manager Ji think?"
Of course Ji Yun knew who was in charge of this company. Although he felt sorry for Ou Bingde, he also replied: "I support Manager Liao, he is very suitable."
There are five people in total, plus Liao Yuan himself, four people support it, and the result is self-evident.
At this point, Ou Bingde had no choice but to express his position. He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lin's opinion is very correct. I support Manager Liao and I obey the company's decision."
Lin Xiaoguang smiled immediately and said: "Since we have reached a consensus, that's good."
"I am announcing now." He started to announce with a solemn voice: "Liao Yuan has been appointed as deputy general manager, responsible for factory production kitchen production, fast food restaurant production and production, and raw material supply, etc. Ou Bingde has been appointed as deputy general manager, responsible for working with
Doing business with convenience stores, selling cooked food in fast food restaurants, and cooperating with retailers from Hong Kong, Macao, Tainan, and other places.”
After hearing this, several people were stunned and looked at each other in surprise.
Why are there two deputy general managers, one more? In addition to Liao Yuan, Ou Bingde was also appointed.
After reacting, Ou Bingde couldn't help but be ecstatic.
Lin Xiaoguang continued: "Vice President Liao and Vice President Ou will continue to hold the positions of Production Department Manager and Sales Department Manager respectively, and their salaries will be calculated according to the Vice President level. The positions of others will remain unchanged, and their salaries will increase by 20%. This is a reward for those who have worked hard in the past period."
Come, thank you for your contribution to the company."
"Hopefully, we will continue to work hard and achieve greater brilliance." He glanced at everyone one by one.
Not to mention Liao Yuan and Ou Bingde, the former is happy and the latter is excited. Even Tan Guofang and Ji Yun, who have nothing to do with this matter, are a little happy. The salary increase is a good thing.
Shi Long was a little disappointed, but the increase in wages was somewhat comforting.
Lin Xiaoguang thought about it and launched another bombshell: "I plan to spin off Qinhuai Food and Beverage into three companies, one specializing in processed food, one specializing in processed beverages, and the other fast food catering. These three companies
They do not belong to each other, food, drinks and catering are clearly separated, and each does its own thing without interfering with each other."
"I personally still need to learn and cannot take care of all three parties, so we need three vice presidents to lead the overall work of the three companies."
"But before the company's business is spun off, food, beverages and catering must reach a certain level and achieve results. Otherwise, the business will be too small and the spin-off will be meaningless."
