Chapter 823 Something went wrong with management (I uploaded it first, and then changed it after nuc
Xia Weicheng had just come out of the rural credit cooperative. He was still holding a passbook with a dark red cover in his hand. The passbook seemed to be old, and there were still a lot of wear and tear on the dark red cover.
But Xia Weicheng was very happy. He just went to the credit union and asked the teller to print the details of this period into the passbook. The last column was the retirement salary he just received this month.
There are more than 1,800 yuan, which is a little less than when he was working, but the problem is that he doesn't have to work now!
Feeling happy in his heart, he thought about cutting five more pounds of ribs and stewing them at home. This life was so beautiful.
He didn't forget to use his cell phone to call his wife.
"Yinghong, my retirement salary is more than 1,800!" he said happily.
The two exchanged a few words, and he also said: "I'm going to buy some ribs, and we'll talk about it later."
Hang up the phone and drive away!
The teller at the credit union watched him, a little old man, drive away in a latest model GL8, and felt extremely envious.
Look at this person, at the age of just retiring, the retirement salary he received was higher than the salary he received.
He drives a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he rides a bicycle in all weathers, weather, sun and rain, who can he ask to reason...
Xia Weicheng went to buy some good ribs and a roast chicken cooked by himself in a braised chicken restaurant, and drove home with them.
Halfway through, he received a call from his eldest brother Xia Weiguo. The two brothers chatted for a while, and then Xia Weicheng found out that his eldest brother had been hospitalized some time ago, but no one told him.
"Brother, what did you do? Why did you end up in the hospital even though you were fine?" Xia Weicheng said to him.
At the end of the road ahead, we slowed down and turned left, then went up a small slope, and the road began to bump.
He immediately stepped on the brakes to slow down the car, and then said to his elder brother: "Brother, I'm driving the car and I'll call you when I get home later."
I arrived home a few minutes later. I said hello to my old father who was basking in the sun and listening to Peking Opera at the door, and asked my wife to stew the ribs first. He hurriedly called his elder brother back.
Listening to his elder brother talking about his illness, Xia Weicheng sighed inwardly.
Unexpectedly, my eldest brother drank and smoked to relieve his boredom due to "loneliness", which aggravated his underlying disease and turned into cerebral thrombosis.
This is a big deal!
"Brother, I will take our father there in a few days. Let's get together more then," Xia Weicheng said.
Xia Weiguo actually meant the same thing. He said, "Come quickly."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Weicheng thought about what his elder brother had just said on the phone, and he felt a little melancholy.
Old man Xia Shande asked him: "Ai Cheng, what did your elder brother say?"
Although he was older and had suffered from esophageal cancer, he was still deaf and blind. He heard the second brother and the eldest brother talk about being sick intermittently.
Xia Weicheng thought for a while and said: "Dad, my eldest brother was hospitalized some time ago with cerebral thrombosis, but he has been discharged from the hospital now and there is no big problem."
Xia Shande also knew about this disease. Several people in Xiazhuang discovered it too late and eventually died of cerebral hemorrhage.
He said: "Is your eldest brother drinking and smoking again?"
He knew this boss better than anyone else. He was in an unhappy marriage and was living alone with his two children. He had no one to talk to, so he just liked to drink some wine to relieve his boredom.
Xia Weicheng said: "Brother means that we should go there early."
"It's almost the end of the month, why bother? Wait a few more days." Xia Shande is more stable than anyone else.
But he was more anxious than anyone else, and his palms and backs were full of flesh. He couldn't say that he was taking care of his eldest brother, so he should cause trouble for his grandson in advance.
"We'll go over there when Zekai moves." Xia Shande emphasized.
…
Another week has passed, and it has entered late May, and the temperature is getting higher and higher.
There are more and more people wearing shorts and short sleeves on the streets. Going out on the streets at this time is eye-catching.
Xia Zekai came directly to the company after sending Yatou and Tongtong to kindergarten this morning.
I carefully reviewed the financial data sent by Sun Guoqiang. The total revenue was a little higher than in March, but the profit was lower than in March.
Looking at some data in the financial information, he was thinking about what he should do.
It does not mean that if the expenditure costs are high, then all expenditure costs should be suppressed. That would be a waste of food.
Generally speaking, this problem still needs to be solved fundamentally, and Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. is now on the fast track of rapid development.
Guo Ying has already made a plan. The next step is to purchase a large number of shops. Three to five shops in each area will be enough. Once the shops are obtained, they will be decorated and distributed uniformly.
Like the shops they are leasing now, after the shops they plan to buy are acquired, the rent here has expired, and they are ready to cancel the lease, or if the other party is willing to sell, they would not mind buying it.
In addition to the shop, the company has also acquired a new factory. It has just been taken over and there are no personnel or equipment.
But there is a problem here. The overall management level cannot keep up with the company's development speed, and even lags behind the company's development to a certain extent.
That is to say, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. is now trading at a high level, with a large amount of funds being spread out. It feels like "one effort can reduce ten". In this case, some small problems that are usually invisible are covered up.
.
This has also led to an increase in daily operating costs, thus creating the illusion that the total revenue this month is higher than last month, but the actual profit is not as good as when the total revenue is low.
The profit ratio has also dropped repeatedly!
Xia Zekai rubbed his temples with a headache. He thought that from the establishment of the factory to the present, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. has passed the initial barbaric growth stage and entered the vigorous growth of adulthood, but at this time, there are more problems.
If we want to solve this problem, we must reorganize, reform and optimize the enterprise itself.
"Who should I contact?" Xia Zekai pondered for a while.
For Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., the outstanding problem now is the imperfect process management and enterprise information construction.
Especially as the company's stalls become larger and larger, this problem becomes more and more prominent, which also leads to a rapid increase in various operating costs.
If this problem is not corrected, when Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. becomes larger and more bloated, the problem will become more prominent, leading to the collapse of the company.
Thinking of this, he remembered someone, picked up the phone on his desk and dialed.
After waiting for the call to be connected, Xia Zekai said: "Xiao Zhang..."
Opposite was Zhang Xu. The two had not contacted each other for some days. Xia Zekai asked him about the situation of the Yicheng branch factory, and then revealed his purpose.
Zhang Xu really didn't know much about this area. He had never done any business in this area. He gave his brother Zhang Chengguang's phone number to Xia Zekai and asked them to get in touch.
Xia Zekai then dialed Zhang Chengguang's phone number. Although Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. and Qianhui Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. had always had various business dealings, this was the first time they had spoken on the phone.
"Mr. Zhang, what's going on is that there are some problems with our company's current management process. I want to find a 'management consulting' company to optimize our company's existing management process. Can Mr. Zhang introduce me to a better consulting company?"
company." Xia Zekai said.
Hearing Xia Zekai talk about this issue, Zhang Chengguang suddenly realized something. Xia Zekai was far more decisive than he thought.
He had never heard of any local company in Qicheng actively looking for a 'management consulting' company, nor had he heard of any companies with annual revenue exceeding tens of billions.
The leaders of those companies always feel that they have strong personality charm and can control their subordinates. Their management and corporate strategic goals are also very clear, and they are not afraid of any problems.
But from Zhang Chengguang's perspective, many companies are struggling to hold on.
Why did it work well at the beginning and all the data were healthy, but then it stopped working after a few years?
The revenue is not good, the profit is not good, the management within the company is in a mess, the company has even gone bankrupt, and the boss has run away.
In the final analysis, many companies still do not realize that the problem lies within themselves.
Who would have thought that Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., a newly growing company, would be aware of this problem and even take the initiative to find a third-party "management consulting" company.
"Yes, there are many more, including some large 'management consulting' companies at home and abroad." Zhang Chengguang introduced Xia Zekai seriously.
He has reason to believe that Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. will definitely become bigger and bigger under the leadership of Xia Zekai.
It’s not a good time to make good friends.
He said: "For example, IBM, which did management consulting for Huawei ten years ago, domestic Hejun Consulting, Zhenglue Junce, Zhongda Consulting, Peking University Zongheng, and Constantin, which has won the highest award in the international management consulting industry
Ding Prize's Century Zongheng can do it. What Boss Xia needs to do now is consulting on the internal management process and information construction of the enterprise. These companies can help you do it."
"Which one is better?" Xia Zekai asked.
He asked a very outside question, Zhang Chengguang did not laugh at him, but said: "Boss Xia, this is not the best, it just depends on whether it is suitable?"
Xia Zekai understood and said, "In your opinion, in a situation like ours, which consulting company is more suitable?"
"IBM can also do it, Hejun Consulting, Zhenglue Junce and Peking University Zongheng can also do it. More specifically, I have never worked in Boss Xia's company, so I can't say." Zhang Chengguang did not give the final suggestion as soon as he came up.
.
His understanding of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. was limited to business dealings and some one-sided information he heard from his brother, which did not touch the core of the company at all. He did not dare to give blind orders.
Xia Zekai also had his own ideas. He said: "Mr. Zhang, I entrust you with something."
"If you help me find a more suitable 'management consulting' company, the money will not be less for you." Xia Zekai said.
Zhang Chengguang was stunned. He never expected that Xia Zekai would throw money at him one day, but he liked this straightforward approach and said: "Don't worry, Boss Xia, the core purpose of our Qianhui Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. is to provide customers with various services."
A kind of problem-solving solution to help customers solve their problems!”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zekai opened his notebook and wrote down the names Zhang Chengguang just mentioned on his notebook one by one.
I also turned on my computer and checked the relevant content carefully.
The information on the Internet is more comprehensive than the information given by Zhang Chengguang, and there are even rankings of various 'management consulting' companies.
But Xia Zekai knows very well that these rankings on the Internet can be done with money and are the least trustworthy.
He also focused on the 'IBM Consulting' that Zhang Chengguang mentioned to him just now. In his previous life, he had heard that Huawei had spent hundreds of millions of dollars to find a 'management consulting' company to provide Huawei with strategic insights, and it was a long-term cooperation.
Time flies, many things have changed, and his company has now reached this stage.
Before Zhang Chengguang's results came out, he did not blindly believe that the external consulting company was the best, nor did he think that the "management consulting" company that had served Huawei was the best. Everything would be informed.
…
In the afternoon, Xia Zekai received a call from Wang Hongsheng.
Wang Hongsheng asked him on the phone if he had time in the evening to chat about something.
Xia Zekai agreed.
After hanging up the phone from Wang Hongsheng, he immediately told his wife Luo Xiyun and asked her to go home early today.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll talk to Wang Hongsheng tonight. You can pick up Yatou and Tongtong later." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun didn't ask him what he was talking about and agreed directly.
Xia Zekai waited until he was about to get off work, then called Wang Hongsheng again and made an appointment for a place to eat, and he left directly.
He didn't go to Qicheng Hotel or Century Hotel. Xia Zekai found a place that cooked seafood. Wang Hongsheng also wanted to have a bite.
After meeting, Wang Hongsheng looked Xia Zekai up and down several times, making Xia Zekai feel very scared.
"Leader, something's wrong with me?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Wang Hongsheng said: "I just want to take a closer look at what is different about the person who can make our city government hold a meeting for you for a whole day."
"For me?" Xia Zekai had big question marks in his eyes.
Wang Hongsheng nodded: "You may not believe it, but it is a fact."
After the two sat down, Xia Zekai asked him what was going on.
Wang Hongsheng talked about the meeting Zhou Wenyi held for them.
Xia Zekai understood this. He didn't expect Zhou Wenyi to act so quickly.
It has only been a while since I started doing this.
Wang Hongsheng shook his head: "Who made Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. develop so big now? It is considered a very important company in Qicheng. Old Zhou pays so much attention to you!"
"Boss, don't brag about me. If you brag again, you won't be able to see me again tomorrow." Xia Zekai didn't accept his trick.
He said: "I just made up my mind today to find a 'management consulting' company to take our company's pulse and treat it. It's not as good as you said."
"What happened to your company?" When Wang Hongsheng heard what he said, he immediately paid attention to it.
Xia Zekai sighed: "There is something wrong with the management!"
