Chapter 226 People, the meaning of enterprise existence
Zhang Yunqing said with a look of sudden realization: "After you mentioned it like this, why do I feel that a business is like a person's life? It is doomed to die from the day it is born. Every day it grows, it is one day closer to bankruptcy?
"
Zhao Manfu said: "I think you both mean the same thing, but people usually don't think about the issue by linking the life and death of an enterprise with the life and death of mankind.
Come on, come on, the food and drinks are already here, let’s make some food first.”
The three of them exchanged cups and cups for a while, and the atmosphere became more lively.
Zhang Yunqing continued the discussion on the previous topic: "If we say that people must die, companies must also die. Then what is the meaning of our human lives? What is the meaning of the existence of companies?"
Zhou Wencheng replied: "Your question is too big. I estimate that one hundred people might have two hundred answers.
For me, the meaning of life is to be happy and not have to worry about food and clothing. The meaning of the existence of a company is to let more people realize their dream of being happy and not having to worry about food."
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Mr. Zhou's answer should be more in line with the public's taste. What is the answer from our interview with Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Manfu laughed and said: "Oh, it's so formal, and I still need to do an interview.
Since you have interviewed me, do I have to give a more formal answer?"
The two said in unison: "Of course."
Zhao Manfu picked up his wine glass and took a sip before replying: "The meaning of human life, historically speaking, is to reproduce future generations and promote the development of society from low-end to high-end. Personally, it is possible for everyone to understand themselves
The meaning of living is different. For example: some people live to make others live better; some people live to take revenge; some people live to make more money and spend more money.
There is an endless cycle; some people live to raise more offspring and make them stronger than their own generation; some people live to pursue immortality.
Do you think this is true?"
Zhou Wencheng replied: "That's the truth, but why does it always feel weird?"
Zhao Manfu replied: "I don't know why it feels weird, right? It's because you may not be able to understand things you have never experienced. You always judge everything in the world based on your own cognition, and in many cases, maybe
We simply make wrong judgments. Misjudgments are often not terrible. What is more terrible is that we do not think that we will make mistakes from the bottom of our hearts. We always think that we are right and others are wrong, and we always go with a Huai Ning perspective.
Looking at other things causes our judgments to sometimes be so casual and further and further away from the truth.”
Zhang Yunqing said: "There is a certain truth in saying this. The problem is that most of us will make mistakes, and few of us can get it all right. So the world is developing in a complex environment, and it is becoming more and more complex.
I can’t understand it more and more.”
Zhao Manfu continued: "Yunqing's understanding makes sense. If you think about it for individuals, it is so complicated. For an enterprise, there are many people in it, so the development of this enterprise depends on its own
Isn’t it very complicated?”
Zhang Yunqing said: "Yes, the complexity of the enterprise is understandable."
Zhao Manfu said: "Then what is the meaning of the existence of an enterprise? We can start with the foundation of the existence of an enterprise.
The basis for the existence of an enterprise is that it must first have people, including shareholders, employees, investors, etc.
When these people interact with this company, they actually have aspirations.
For example: Yun Qing, you came to work at Western Construction, do you have any requirements for the company?"
Zhang Yunqing replied seriously: "Yes, I hope to give me a higher salary and give me more bonuses."
Zhao Manfu replied: "Okay, your request has been made clear. Wencheng, where is your request for Western Architecture?"
Zhou Wencheng replied: "Let me take care of a few more big projects and make more money. By the way, Mr. Zhao, do you have any requests for Western Architecture?"
Zhao Manfu replied: "Yes, of course I have a request. My initial request was to come to Western Construction, learn the management techniques of Western construction, and then go back to serve my family business and make the family business develop better.
.”
Zhang Yunqing replied: "Listen, Mr. Zhao's request is much nobler than ours and has the same feeling."
Zhao Manfu laughed and scolded: "Noble man, these demands are peeled off, and the final demands for me are still the same as your demands. The difference is that I can choose to realize them in Western architecture.
I just want to go back to the original family business to fulfill my request."
Zhang Yunqing picked up the wine glass and shouted: "Okay, for the three of us to have the same request, let's have a drink."
After the three people drank a glass of beer, they each filled up their own glasses.
Zhao Manfu continued his analysis: "I just mentioned that people in the company have demands, right?
There are many people in the company, and there are many types. For example: there are those with high education and those with low education; there are those who are older and those who are younger; there are those who have rich work experience and there are those who are novices; there are those who are deep in education and there are those who are shallow.
; in short, there are all kinds of people, and people from all three religions and nine streams may be involved.
As the saying goes, there are hundreds of people of all kinds. Each type of person has different requirements for the company.
Take our Western architecture as an example. Nowadays, there are hundreds of people in the company, and there are already at least a few of various types.
When there are too many people, there will be what is called difficulty in reconciling one's opinions.
So, if our western architecture wants to develop, we must retain more talents.
What should we do?
I understand this, and it is also the meaning of the existence of our Western construction companies.
The significance of the existence of Western construction companies is to meet the country's needs for the company, the boss's needs for the company, and the various needs of the company's employees. Among them, the most basic and wide-ranging needs are to meet the needs of the company's employees.
income needs.
Therefore, all policies formulated by Western construction companies are based on this demand.
The meaning of an enterprise’s existence is both complex and simple.”
Zhang Yunqing asked: "Well, I seem to understand a little bit.
Mr. Zhao, you mentioned the boss’s needs for the company, what needs does she have?”
Zhao Manfu said: "On the surface, the boss's needs for the company are nothing more than to get enough social reputation and status to be admired by others; to get enough money for himself to squander; to leave his mark in this real world.
A masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, leaving an indelible mark, etc.”
