Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

At the beginning of the new year, the company had already resumed operations, but Hao Qiang returned to work "late".

As the group continues to expand, the adjustment of some senior positions has become an imminent task.

On the first day Hao Qiang returned to the company, he immediately started dealing with urgent matters.

After two busy days, he convened a meeting of the group's middle and senior management on the afternoon of the third day.

Before the meeting, the participants knew nothing about the chairman's agenda and most thought it was just a routine annual opening meeting.

Despite this, everyone arrived at Tiansheng Building on time and waited for the meeting to begin.

The chairman has always been known for his efficiency. During technical meetings, he would ask his subordinates to distribute relevant materials in advance, only discuss key issues at the meeting, and never allow lengthy and ineffective speeches.

At this moment, Hao Qiang sat in the main seat of the conference room, took a sip of tea, and glanced at the more than 20 middle and senior leaders of the group present. He spoke slowly:

"Time flies so fast, and we have already entered 2007 in the blink of an eye.

During this time, I took a walk outside, sitting quietly for most of the day at Silver Beach and Chanya Beach. I thought of the saying, 'The waves behind push the waves ahead,' and then I thought, 'The waves ahead die on the beach. How long can the waves behind last? In the blink of an eye, everything will be the same.'"

When the participants heard the chairman say this, they could understand the literal meaning but found it difficult to grasp the deeper meaning.

Hao Qiang continued, “While the popularity of fireworks and future motorcycles continues to grow, potential crises cannot be ignored.

Any success will attract imitators. If we ignore those who follow the trend, we will be like the previous wave and will eventually disappear on the beach.

Subverting others is innovation, subverting yourself is continuous innovation. We can only continue to subvert ourselves and always let others become followers."

After the chairman finished speaking, the participants finally understood.

“We should focus on innovation and not always think about preventing others from subverting us by building barriers. When we focus on building barriers, we are already going in the wrong direction.

We need to have this mindset, which is different from keeping technology confidential," Hao Qiang reminded.

Musk opened up rocket manufacturing to the outside world. He was not afraid of others imitating him because the speed at which others imitated him could not keep up with his pace of innovation.

If you just imitate him blindly, you will never catch up with Musk.

"It doesn't matter if we brag about ourselves; it's normal in marketing, but we need to be clear-headed about ourselves." Hao Qiang chuckled, then turned serious. "As the company expands, we need to consider two key issues: how to maintain our achievements, and how to expand them."

To ordinary people, Hao Qiang's words may seem abstract, difficult to understand, and empty.

Although the general meaning can be understood, it is not easy to translate it into specific management practices.

Only those who have been in management positions for many years can truly understand the profound meaning of Hao Qiang's words and put them into actual operations.

It can also be said that Hao Qiang was brainwashing the management and warning them at the same time.

The participants held their breath and carefully recorded every word of the chairman.

Suddenly, Hao Qiang changed the subject: "In view of the current development of the group, we will be making some personnel adjustments."

This sentence instantly made everyone nervous, and they realized that the critical moment had arrived.

"I will temporarily serve as the group president." Hao Qiang began to announce the new appointment.

"Jiang Ying, as the group's vice president and chief financial officer, will continue to be responsible for the group's financial affairs."

Jiang Ying was extremely surprised to hear the appointment. She didn't expect the chairman to value her so much.

Although the job content remains basically unchanged, the promotion of title is undoubtedly a recognition of her ability.

For her, being vice president was the pinnacle.

She also understood that the main reason for her promotion was that she could help the chairman solve loan and tax reduction issues.

"Wang Xiaofeng will serve as the general manager of Renjian Fireworks Catering Company. The regional manager position will be determined separately."

"Lin Yan, serve as the general manager of Future Motorcycle Company."

"Wang He, serves as the general manager of Galaxy New Energy Company."

"Qiu Xueya, serve as the group's human resources director."

……

Hao Qiang quickly read out all the appointments.

At first glance, these adjustments do not seem to be a big change, mainly reflected in the promotion of positions.

As for the issue of salary, there will inevitably be corresponding adjustments.

However, these top managers all own authorized Future Motorcycle stores at home, and the additional income is already considerable.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for other companies to poach them.

These executives understand very well that following Hao Qiang is not just about the immediate position and salary.

As long as there is an opportunity to make a fortune, Hao Qiang will share it with them.

The company's long-term development prospects and potential huge returns are the real reasons why they follow it so firmly.

After a while, the meeting ended and the group's senior management stayed. Hao Qiang further explained: "Regarding the promotion of other mid-level leaders, please ask Director Qiu to discuss with the general managers of each branch and prepare a draft and submit it to me for review.

As for the adjustment of grassroots leadership, you can discuss and decide on your own.

If there are no other matters, the meeting may be adjourned.”

He retained direct decision-making authority over the appointment of senior company leaders without consulting others.

However, when dealing with the promotion of mid-level leaders, he chose to involve the human resources director and senior managers, giving them the right to recommend but still retaining the final authority to appoint.

This approach not only demonstrates trust in senior management, but also maintains control over personnel decisions.

Perhaps, only when the group becomes larger will Hao Qiang completely release the power to appoint middle-level managers.

As for financial rights, Hao Qiang's attitude is more cautious.

Although senior management has supervisory power over finances and can understand the flow and balance of funds, actual control remains firmly in the hands of Hao Qiang.

However, the general manager now has the authority to use small amounts of funds without the chairman's approval, which is a positive sign of decentralization.

After listening to Hao Qiang's instructions, Qiu Xueya and other senior executives expressed their gratitude to the chairman: "Thank you very much for the chairman's trust and support.

We will do our best and work hard to live up to your expectations."

Hao Qiang nodded, and they left the chairman's office.

After the meeting, the Human Resources Department wrote a personnel appointment notice, which Hao Qiang signed and stamped, and then the Human Resources Department announced it.

Night came,

37-year-old Wang Xiaofeng drove the company's vehicle slowly towards home.

He rented a house near Zhengjia Plaza, and the company reimbursed most of the rent.

He has purchased a new house, but it will not be delivered until the end of the year. Including the time for decoration, it will take about two years before he can actually move in.

"Husband, you're back!"

Li Xiaoyan, who had just returned home from get off work, saw her husband coming back too, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.

The mother-in-law also noticed that her son-in-law came home earlier than usual, and said gently: "Afeng came home quite early today."

Wang Xiaofeng smiled as he walked to the sofa, gently stroked the top of his seven-year-old son's head, and replied softly, "Well, there's nothing to do today, so come back early."

Half an hour later, as the family sat around the dining table, Wang Xiaofeng revealed the good news of his promotion: "I've been promoted to general manager of the company."

"Wow, great news!" Li Xiaoyan was extremely surprised.

She did not work at Future Technology Group to avoid suspicion.

Wang Xiaofeng explained with a smile: "Well, the boss suddenly held a meeting today to announce the appointment. None of our senior executives received the news in advance, so it was a bit unexpected."

Li Xiaoyan is proud of her husband: "This shows that my husband is deeply trusted and valued by his boss."

Li Xiaoyan still remembers the scene when her husband first started working.

At that time, my husband often suffered from insomnia due to work pressure and worked overtime until late at night every day.

Especially during the opening period of a new store, the pressure reached its peak due to concerns about poor business.

Wang Xiaofeng said with a smile: "The higher the position, the greater the responsibility and pressure.

However, over the years I have gradually adapted to this work pace and pressure, and it doesn't matter to me anymore.

Actually, my boss didn’t ask me to work overtime, it was just that I didn’t adjust my mindset properly.”

"If your company were to go public, would the boss reward the management with shares?"

Wang Xiaofeng replied cautiously: "It's still too early to talk about going public, and I can't guess what the boss is thinking. It's best not to discuss this topic casually, let alone spread it.

As for whether to give stock incentives, it depends on luck.

Even with an incentive plan, we still need to purchase the original shares out of our own pockets.

The boss has given me the operating rights of two Future Motorcycle authorized stores. My father earns tens of thousands of dollars every month, and half of it belongs to us.

Besides, the salary and benefits are also very good, and my boss is very kind to me. Don’t worry about other things, just work hard. "

Wang Xiaofeng feels that he has reached the peak of his life and deeply understands the importance of choosing the right boss.

I dare not reveal some of the company's confidential matters to my family easily, for fear that they will leak them inadvertently.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense." Li Xiaoyan promised solemnly.

“Our company has a high valuation and many investment institutions are eyeing it.

Now that I am the general manager of the company, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will use you to inquire about inside information.

You must be vigilant, especially do not accept gifts from anyone, no matter who they are.

If this delays the company's IPO, I, as the general manager, might end up in jail."

After hearing this, Li Xiaoyan and her mother-in-law responded with a serious look: "Yes, that's true. We will definitely be careful."

"Anyway, if anyone asks about my company, especially the valuation, even if it's a relative, they're probably trying to gather information. I should just stay away from them and not reply," said Wang Xiaofeng.

A company with a valuation of nearly 10 billion before its listing has huge potential. If he were a staff member of an investment institution, he would also try every means to find out insider information.
