Chapter 825 Boss Xia doesn't play cards according to the routine (1050
After finalizing the final contract details, Xia Zekai convened a meeting with all the company's managers above the supervisory level. The meeting focused on one core message: After the staff of IBM Global Business Consulting Services arrived at the factory, they would fully cooperate. The other party investigated and corrected the problems existing in Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
After the meeting, Lu Chen and Li Mumu got together to discuss.
Wang Yewei, Sun Guoqiang, Zhang San and others got together, and everyone else also went to discuss with people they knew well.
There is only one center of discussion: what did the boss want to do in the meeting just now?
They were a little confused. This staff member from IBM Global Business Consulting Services was going to be stationed in the factory, and they had not received any news before.
This thing is also a bit inexplicable, and everything is weird.
Many of them know this company, but what does that have to do with Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.?
"Mr. Lu, what do you think?" Li Mumu looked at Lu Hao and asked.
Lu Chen thought for a while and then said with some uncertainty: "From my personal point of view, after the employees and the company's scale have expanded repeatedly, I also think that there have been problems with the company's recent management, and they are very serious problems. .”
He said: "I don't know for the time being what the boss's consideration was based on when he introduced IBM Enterprise Consulting Services, but it must have something to do with management."
Li Mumu frowned, this statement always made him subconsciously rely on himself.
Lu Chen has recently been responsible for the construction of the company's third phase project, and he rarely comes to the head office.
When the boss Xia Zekai is away, he is responsible for the daily operations and management here.
Now that the boss wants to introduce IBM's management process upgrade, he must think that there is a problem with the company's internal management, which makes him the first to start doubting himself...
He also asked: "Mr. Lu, is there something wrong with my management?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "Mr. Li, if you think so, if something really goes wrong, I will definitely take the first responsibility."
…
At the same time, similar discussions occurred elsewhere in the company. Only Sun Guoqiang vaguely felt that this matter might be related to the company's incoming financial situation.
Only he knows that although the company's total revenue has been rising, the profit ratio has been falling repeatedly.
My boss mentioned this once a year ago.
He was thinking that the boss's purpose was to reduce operating costs by improving management processes and establishing enterprise information management?
For a moment, Sun Guoqiang didn't have an accurate estimate in his mind.
He was a little confused about this matter.
But everyone in these discussions knows one thing: there is no room to change what the boss decides. They can only choose to cooperate or stop working here.
After Xia Zekai returned to the office after the meeting, he felt very calm. Just as IBM Consulting Enterprise Services told him, there would definitely be pain in the process, but he didn't care.
When a company has a problem, it must be solved.
This is like when a person is sick and must be treated. If he continues to delay treatment, hoping to rely on the body's immune function to recover, there is a high probability that the disease will become more severe and eventually lead to a terminal illness.
The day after the announcement, when Xia Zekai was working in his office as usual, Li Mumu came over. As soon as he came in, he apologized to Xia Zekai.
This move puzzled Xia Zekai and asked him: "Old Li, why don't I know what you have done wrong recently?"
"Boss, if you don't upgrade and rectify the company's management process, then there must be something wrong with my management." Li Mumu said.
There is nothing wrong with this at all.
But Xia Zekai said: "Lao Li, you have to review it for me. Our company's revenue is hitting new highs every month, but our various costs and expenses are also continuing to rise. The company's profits have been declining. The profit ratio is lower than every month."
It has hit a new low every month, tell me the reason for this."
Xia Zekai mentioned this matter to him. He never intended to hide it from anyone. After the people from IBM Consulting Services came over, people in the company would definitely know the purpose of their coming.
Li Mumu's mouth froze when he heard what his boss said. He didn't know what to say.
At this time, he remembered that Lu Chen had told him that "there is a problem with the company's management." Li Mumu now figured out what the problem was.
"Boss, this matter is my responsibility..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Zekai frowned and asked him: "Old Li, please tell me specifically what your responsibilities are."
Li Mumu: "..."
He didn't know what to say. What he said just now was just a habitual polite word, but the boss took it seriously and he was dumbfounded.
This gave him a memory, so he should be careful what he says in the future.
However, he thought about it all night yesterday and reflected on himself, and indeed found some problems from his own perspective.
Now I don’t think about covering up my ugliness, I just said it all one by one.
After he talked about the problems he discovered, he also talked about future improvements and plans to improve his management level.
After listening to this, Xia Zekai smiled. It was good that Li Mumu could find these problems, but he still did not have the ability to systematically recognize, screen and improve problems.
"Old Li, there is no need to have any psychological baggage." Xia Zekai said in a deep voice.
"Our company has been growing wildly from the beginning. We do not have a professional and systematic management process, nor have we established a corporate culture and information management system belonging to our company. I invited people from IBM at a high price this time to help us establish and build
This complete process allows the company to lay a solid foundation in the development process and prepare for longer-term development in the future."
At this point, Xia Zekai asked abruptly: "Lao Li, how far do you think our company's current management model and operating model can support the company?"
"..." Li Mumu had nothing to say.
He somewhat understood what the boss meant.
…
On the last Saturday in May, Xia Zekai and his wife went to the kindergarten to participate in the last chorus rehearsal, and the second sister-in-law followed them there to look after the children.
The kindergarten originally planned to hold a Children's Day party the day after tomorrow, which is the last day of May. Teacher Kaixin explained the problem to everyone who came to attend, and asked them to dress up and get off work early at the end of the month.
After the chorus rehearsal, before leaving, Xia Zekai said to Teacher Kaixin: "Teacher, we will move next month, and Yatou and Tongtong will go to school there. They have spent this year here.
I'm very happy, and I'm also very grateful to all the teachers in Morning Star Class for taking care of the two sisters this year..."
"Ah, I have to leave so soon." Teacher Kaixin was particularly surprised. She didn't expect this to happen.
Luo Xiyun said: "Teacher Kaixin, whenever you have time, we will treat you to a meal and express our gratitude."
Hearing what she said, Teacher Kaixin quickly waved his hand: "No, no, it can't be like this. This is what our kindergarten should do. Just relax. No matter where Xia Jingya and Xia Tong go to kindergarten in the future, I hope they will."
They are both happy and happy."
Second sister-in-law Dong Fei also heard it from the side. As they walked out together, she asked: "Zekai, are you moving to the villa?"
"I'm thinking of taking my parents and grandfather over and moving them there for convenience," Xia Zekai said.
He said: "It's not that far over there. It's just across the road. Sister-in-law, you and your second brother can go there and play at any time."
"Okay, I'll help you when we move," said the second sister-in-law.
During the time when her father Dong Guochuan was hospitalized, this cousin often ran to the hospital, sometimes bringing things, sometimes bringing food. People's hearts are full of flesh. The more she looks at Xia Zekai, the more pleasing she is, and she has the guts to take it.
He treats me like a biological brother.
After having some lunch outside, Xia Zekai returned home and was about to take a shower and change into dry clothes. Luo Xiyun said: "Zekai, don't forget to perform on stage the day after tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I won't forget you even if you forget." Xia Zekai said something that deserved a beating.
Luo Xiyun picked up a pillow and threw it at Xia Zekai. Unfortunately, Xia Zekai dodged quite quickly, allowing him to dodge.
As soon as he stepped into the bathroom, he stepped back and said to his wife: "We are moving on the 3rd of next month, don't forget it."
"What day of the week is the 3rd?" Luo Xiyun really forgot.
Xia Zekai rolled his eyes at her: "I'll have someone check it out next Friday. It's a good day to move."
He has become more and more ritualistic. If there is anything important, he has to choose a date.
Luo Xiyun remembered something and asked: "We are moving there now. The kindergarten will have summer vacation in July. What will the two of them do during this time?"
Xia Zekai said naturally: "Let's play at home. Your parents-in-law and grandpa will come over when the time comes. It's time for them to help watch and get familiar with it."
Luo Xiyun disagreed. She said, "Please tell Principal Pang not to send them there in advance so that they can get acquainted with other children."
Xia Zekai was right when he thought about it. He said, "Okay, I'll call Director Pang later and tell him that it's not a big deal."
It was really nothing. Xia Zekai readily paid the two sisters' tuition and living expenses for a year. Pang Yaqun really treated Xia Zekai differently now. He had never seen such a generous master.
He also saw that Xia Zekai didn't care about money at all when it came to his two children. Maybe what he wanted was for his children to live happily in kindergarten.
On the day at the end of May, Xia Zekai received a team of experts sent by IBM Global Business Consulting Services in the company. The leader was Yan Jinghua, a middle-aged man in his forties who looked like he had read poetry and books.
He wears a pair of gold-framed eyes, and his hair is half gray and half black, which makes him look a little bit white-headed.
When he arrived at Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., he met with Xia Zekai and the two parties had a friendly discussion and also met with the management team of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
Xia Zekai also told him his demands and the company's current problems. He hoped that Yan Jinghua and his team could thoroughly help Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. to improve the company's management process system and complete the construction of enterprise informatization.
.
"Mr. Yan, we have a happy cooperation!" Xia Zekai smiled and shook hands with Yan Jinghua.
Yan Jinghua also smiled and said: "Boss Xia, happy cooperation!"
From this day on, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. has a small team of 15 IBM consultants. When they go to work every day, these people are active in every corner of the company and carefully observe the work process of every position in the factory.
details.
Sometimes, I also go to other factories under Jingtong Development Co., Ltd., or OEM factories.
At the beginning, many employees of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. always felt that they were being followed while working, and they were not used to it. However, after a little longer, they found that those who were following them were quietly following them.
I stood quietly and nothing happened.
Slowly, these employees relaxed and returned to their original work clothes.
In this case, it is easier for people from the IBM consulting team to find the problem.
They recorded every detail they found in categories. Every night after six o'clock, they would summarize the problems they found, and then hold a meeting within their team to discuss various problems existing in Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
They are anxious to feed back the discovered problems to Xia Zekai or the company management, but continue to observe and record. When the discovered problems accumulate to a certain extent and they discover the loopholes in the process, they will give feedback in stages and at the same time, they will
The improvement process discussed is attached.
It was also because of this that the employees at Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. were disgusted with their existence at first, feeling that they were gesticulating and hindering their work.
But according to the method and process proposed by the other party, after a little time, I suddenly found that it was smoother and the work efficiency was improved a lot.
This process is repeated, and after a little longer, these employees have just adapted to a new process, and suddenly find that they have to change again. They are also faced with the same problem of not adapting, to being smooth and smooth in the end, and then continuing to make corrections.
It seems like there is no end.
For on-site managers and the company's mid-level and above managers, they also face similar problems.
This team, led by Yan Jinghua, investigates every department of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. from all aspects, discovers problems, solves them, and forms processes.
Those days felt particularly unfriendly to every employee of Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
And this is the pain that makes employees feel uncomfortable.
According to the results of the discussion between Xia Zekai and IBM, they plan to complete this project in 6 months to a year. Xia Zekai does not mind a protracted battle and he is ready for this.
…
On the last day of May, Xia Zekai came back early after receiving Yan Jinghua and his party. In the evening, there was a Children's Day party at the municipal kindergarten.
Both Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun had to go to rehearsals, and they also had to do simple makeup in the afternoon.
Yatou and Tongtong were not idle either. Each class had to perform two performances, and all the children in the class could not run away.
"Zekai, where are you doing your makeup? Why can't I find anyone?" Luo Xiyun asked anxiously.
She was delayed because of something, so she came over late. When she arrived at the kindergarten, she realized that she couldn't find anyone, so she quickly called her husband.
Xia Zekai was currently putting on makeup on the second floor of the kindergarten. After answering the phone, he directly opened the window in the room, stretched out his head and looked down. When he saw his wife, he shouted: "Daughter-in-law, come to the second floor."
.”
After Luo Xiyun came up, everyone else had basically finished putting on makeup, put on foundation on their faces, put on some blush, and went to find a place to sit and rest.
After the makeup artist spent a few minutes putting makeup on Luo Xiyun, Xia Zekai asked her: "What are you busy with? Have you forgotten the time again?"
"Where are you? I interviewed someone today." Luo Xiyun mentioned.
When Xia Zekai heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. Kaiyun Investment is no longer a 'nobody'. With Yixing's C round of financing raising US$900 million, this matter has become more and more popular in the industry. Kaiyun Investment
Yun Investment, the investor who bid the highest price in the financing round, is mentioned by the media from time to time.
During this time, more and more people came to Kaiyun Investment for interviews, and they were all professionals in the investment field. Compared with them, Liang Tongshun, who came for the interview before, became ordinary.
Luo Xiyun carefully selected and kept some of them.
With the addition of these talents, the strength of Kaiyun Investment has grown at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"All parents are here, let's all have time now, let's rehearse together." Teacher Kaixin came up from the first floor, and when she saw Luo Xiyun had arrived, she asked.
No one had any objections, so they hurried to rehearse.
The sun sets, the orange street lights turn on, night falls slowly, the music sounds, and the door of the kindergarten that is always closed is fully opened today.
At the entrance of the kindergarten, there are two security guards holding ring-shaped steel forks standing on both sides of the gate.
More symbolic than practical.
More and more parents came to watch the show. Most of them brought their own small mats, and some were a little lazy and just found a step or the slide that their children usually play. They climbed up and sat on the slide.
Some people wanted to smoke a cigarette, but when they saw that the crowd below was so dense, if they accidentally flicked the cigarette butt down and accidentally burned someone, these people swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and put the cigarette back.
He Xiuqin, the principal of the Kindergarten Affiliated to Market Government Primary School, stepped onto the makeshift stage under colorful lights and hosted the party herself.
"Dear parents and lovely children, good evening to everyone!"
"I am He Xiuqin, the director of our kindergarten. On this happy Children's Day, I am very happy to stand here to celebrate the festival with all the adults and children. I also sincerely hope that all the friends present will enjoy the festival every day.
It’s Children’s Day!”
"Next, please invite all my friends to enjoy the dance program "Singing and Flying with Wishes" provided by Morning Star Class!"
As a burst of music sounded, the children on the stage began to dance to the music.
The dance movements were not neat at all, and some children even forgot their movements and just stood there on the stage, not knowing what to do.
But no one was as knowledgeable as them. The children and parents watching from the stage all gave warm applause.
