Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Wenhao, we definitely don't agree with the idea of ​​selling the company. I think the company is facing some problems right now, but it's not to the point of selling it yet."

Zhao Mingliang once again denied Zhao Wenhao's decision.

Zhao Dagou quickly agreed: "Yes, Wenhao! Besides, there are so many people in the company now. If we sell the company, where will these people eat?"

If Zhao Dagou hadn't mentioned those people, Zhao Wenhao might not have bothered to pay attention.

But when Zhao Dagou mentioned those company employees, Zhao Wenhao became extremely angry.

Before, at the freight company, it was just some management who took bribes and secretly gained advantages.

But as time goes by, and with the connivance of Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang, it has now become blatant.

Some people even started to charge kickbacks with a fixed price.

The business that should have belonged to the company was secretly intercepted by them and then transferred to other companies.

Such behavior not only seriously damages the company's interests, but also has a great impact on the company's reputation.

Zhao Wenhao was very angry and helpless about this phenomenon. He had reminded the two of them before, but unfortunately they were ignored.

They believe these are minor issues that can be resolved through private communication.

However, it turned out that this approach did not work at all, but instead made the problem worse.

Now, Zhao Wenhao realized that if he did not take decisive measures, the company might face a greater crisis. That's why he deliberately proposed the idea of ​​selling the company.

But Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang obviously did not realize the seriousness of the problem. They still insisted on their own views and were unwilling to make changes.

Zhao Wenhao looked at the two people in front of him, his heart filled with disappointment.

Think about the beginning, those drivers were quite honest and just wanted to make money by driving.

Now, phenomena such as false invoices and false accounting are emerging one after another.

Otherwise, tolls, fuel costs and other expenses would not have increased by more than 20%. This is very telling.

And all of this, in the final analysis, is due to poor management and nepotism.

"Dagou, Mingliang, I remember reminding you at the end of last year not to be too permissive with those relatives. Unfortunately, you didn't listen to me."

Zhao Wenhao took a deep breath and continued, "In fact, I can sell all my shares. As for your future, you will be responsible for it.

But you are my childhood friends and brothers. We grew up together naked, and I don’t want to see you being tricked into jumping into the river in the future.”

He paused, his eyes fixed on Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang. "I'm not here to blame you today, but to tell you a fact—if you continue to turn a blind eye to those relatives, sooner or later the company will be ruined by them!"

Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

These relatives are elders who have watched them grow up since childhood, and some are good friends of the same generation. It seems a bit unkind to directly reject their requests.

Zhao Dagou touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience, "Wenhao, it can't be that serious... We didn't expect things to develop to this point."

His voice became lower and lower, and it was obvious that he was unsure.

In fact, Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang were not completely ignorant of what their relatives had done.

It’s just that they have always chosen to turn a blind eye or just give a few words of advice in a tactful way.

Because they were afraid of offending relatives and affecting family harmony. But now it seems that this approach has led to serious consequences.

At the same time, they didn't want to expose all their scandals in front of Zhao Wenhao, as that would only bring shame to both of them.

I had no choice but to come to see Zhao Wenhao this time.

According to the agreement, they should ask Zhao Wenhao to come and report the company's performance in July.

Unfortunately, one reason was that Zhao Wenhao was really busy at the time and had no time to take care of other things; another reason was that the company's performance was indeed not satisfactory, and they felt a little embarrassed.

Now, when they met in the village, they couldn't continue like this. That's why they deliberately came to discuss with Zhao Wenhao.

In fact, in their eyes, making 100 million in half a year is not bad. At least it is much more than what they made before selling Chinese herbal medicine.

"Let's put it this way. I just mentioned one way, and here is another way for you to choose." Zhao Wenhao seemed to have finally made up his mind. He stood up from the bed and put on his shoes.

"You said, as long as you don't sell the company, we will listen to you."

Zhao Mingliang could clearly sense that Zhao Wenhao was unhappy. If it weren't for their relationship, they would probably have turned against each other.

Therefore, he quickly poked Zhao Dagou, asking him to correct his attitude, and waited for Zhao Wenhao's instructions.

"Starting from the end of this month, you two will temporarily leave your jobs. I will arrange for a team to take over the freight company. In six months, give me six months, I will sort out the company's current chaos and achieve a net profit of more than 400 million."

Zhao Wenhao's expression was solemn and his tone was firm.

Zhao Dagou stood up in a flash, his face flushed. "Wenhao, are you kicking us out of the company?"

"Da Gou, how can you talk like that? Is Wenhao that kind of person? Use that big head of yours to think about it!"

Zhao Mingliang grabbed Zhao Dagou and pushed him down hard.

Zhao Wenhao frowned and looked at Zhao Dagou with an unimaginable look.

He didn't expect Zhao Dagou to say such a thing, which made him feel unbelievable.

Perhaps Zhao Dagou also felt that his words had gone a bit too far. Looking back at Zhao Wenhao's support for them over the years and his help in recent years, his words just now were indeed a bit offensive.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant." Zhao Dagou murmured.

Zhao Wenhao frowned. He felt that this guy had become a little too arrogant in the past two years and spoke without thinking.

"Currently, the company is managed by the two of you. But I see that there are considerable management issues. Especially when it comes to your relatives, it's beyond your ability to handle them.

Therefore, I need both of you to leave the company temporarily, and then my people will carry out a thorough reorganization. Only in this way can we ensure that the company can continue to move forward without being held back by them.

If you continue to stay in the company during this period, your relatives will definitely come to you two to cry and complain.

Once you become soft-hearted or are bewitched by them, the reform will inevitably fail.

That's why I need you to go away for a while. It doesn't have to be too long, two months at most.

You can come back in two months, but don't manage the company for now. Instead, you can observe and learn more.

As for doubling profits, I want to give you proof that their existence has hindered the healthy development of the company.

To put it bluntly, but it is true, your management skills need to be improved.

I hope that after the team I find has moved in and carried out some reorganization, you two can come back and take over the company.

At the same time, with the help of the new team, you should learn modern management well.

Only in this way can you make great progress.”
