Chapter 652 Sensibility and Reason(1/2)
Li Dong directly rejected the proposal to join. .
It’s not that he insists on going against Yuan Chengdao, but joining a franchise store has both advantages and disadvantages.
Overall, for large chain companies, joining is actually not cost-effective.
Small and medium-sized enterprises choose to join, on the one hand, to expand their influence, and on the other hand, to make a profit.
For them, the brand is still a bit far away.
However, large companies that really value brands do not like to build franchise stores.
On the one hand, supervision is very troublesome, and a regulatory mistake may have a great adverse impact on the company, while on the other hand, chaos.
Because of the different sizes of franchise stores, it is difficult to achieve unified planning.
When large groups start chains, sometimes they value not only the number of stores, but also the overall planning and distribution impact of each store.
In the past, there were many supermarkets that had franchise stores, such as Suguo, RT-Mart, and Hualian.
But after working for a while, these companies discovered the disadvantages.
Soon, franchise stores in various places were withdrawn, and only a few convenience stores were left behind and were allowed to join, while franchise stores with a large scale almost non-existent.
Not only the supermarket industry, but also other industries.
For example, SF Express, which is in the express delivery industry, expanded rapidly for a while and looked for people to join, but in the end, Wang Wei almost capsized because of this gutter.
If he hadn't taken over SF Express again later, cut the mess and kicked out SF Express from various places, it would be hard to say whether there would be SF Express that would later be.
Now, in order to save money, Yuan Chengdao wants to start the franchise mode, but Li Dong will not agree casually.
Seeing Li Dong directly refused, Yuan Chengdao was a little unwilling to accept it and said, "Mr. Li, there are actually many benefits to joining a franchise store, some large foreign chain companies..."
Yuan Chengdao talked about a lot of benefits and gave many examples.
Li Dong did not interrupt, and after he finished speaking, he said lightly: "Foreign is abroad, domestic is domestic, and the market is different."
"I don't need to say anything about joining, I won't agree."
Yuan Chengdao frowned and thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, why don't you ask everyone's opinions?"
Since the board of directors has been established, in Yuan Chengdao's opinion, Li Dong should not be allowed to be arbitrary at this time.
If Li Dong continues to make arbitrary decisions, is it still necessary to establish a board of directors?
Moreover, when Li Dong asked him to take over as president, he also expressed his opinion that the power would be decentralized.
Now that Li Dong directly rejected his proposal, Yuan Chengdao had to put his ideas on the board of directors.
Hearing that he said, Li Dong was not angry and smiled faintly: "Then everyone will talk about their opinions and speak freely. If everyone agrees, I will consider it."
The others looked at each other without rushing to speak out.
Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, you know the supermarket best, so you can talk about it first."
Sun Tao coughed lightly, looked at Yuan Chengdao, thought for a while and said, "There are disadvantages and advantages of joining a franchise store. In fact, if Mr. Yuan said that the franchise policy was implemented in Jiangbei or in southern Jiangsu, I actually agree. In these two provinces, we have many self-operated stores. Appropriately joining some small stores as an extension of our business will help enhance our overall competitiveness.
And because it is just under our noses, supervision is also convenient.
But in Hubei Province and mountain cities, to be honest, we have no influence there at all, so let’s not talk about whether others are willing to join.
Even if we are willing, we will be out of reach.
Not only does supervision require a lot of manpower, even if there is a problem, it is easy to fool it.
Even in the end, the other party is likely to turn against us and completely break away from our system. This is possible.
Therefore, I think it is not suitable to implement the franchise policy in the mountain city of Hubei Province."
After Sun Tao finished speaking, Li Dong looked at Qin Hai and said, "Mr. Qin, what about your opinion?"
Qin Hai shook his head and said, "I don't know much about supermarket business, so I won't make any statement about this matter, but since Mr. Sun said that, I think it makes sense."
"Where is Mr. Chen?"
Chen Qian didn't raise her head and said casually: "It's definitely not possible. I think Mr. Yuan will think about it again."
After asking three people in a row, Li Dong did not continue asking, but looked at Yuan Chengdao.
Yuan Chengdao's face was a little unfavorable. When he saw Li Dong looking over, he sighed softly and said, "Since everyone thinks so, then I will think about it again. But Mr. Li, since joining cannot be done, we can only expand ourselves. Do you think about the time going on? Let's wait until we stabilize the situation in the second half of the year?"
"It's just the first half of the year, and it's late in the second half of the year."
"But in the first half of the year..."
Li Dong frowned and interrupted, "Mr. Yuan, this matter was decided before, and it is meaningless to discuss it back and forth now. Since I said that in the first half of the year, there must be my reason."
Yuan Chengdao breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing in the end.
Next, everyone discussed some other things. Yuan Chengdao finally announced the resignation of the meeting, and everyone stood up one after another to leave.
Seeing that Li Dong was about to leave, Yuan Chengdao shouted: "Mr. Li, I still have something to talk to you."
Li Dong stopped and waited for everyone else to leave, Li Dong smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Yuan Chengdao took out a document from his folder and handed it to Li Dongdao: "Mr. Li, take a look first."
Li Dong took it and took a look, looked up at Yuan Chengdao. Yuan Chengdao's face did not change and nodded slightly at him.
Li Dong didn't say anything, looked down at the documents for a while.
This is a new plan for employee assessment. If it is just a simple employee assessment, there is no need for Yuan Chengdao to let Li Dong see it.
However, this plan involves not only ordinary employees and middle and lower-level management, but even senior management in the group.
This senior manager refers to Chen Qian and Sun Tao, including Yuan Chengdao himself.
Of course, Li Dong is not included.
Yuan Chengdao is not so stupid as to be in the process of assessing Li Dong. Could it be that he can still kick Li Dong out?
Li Dong looked at it for a while, and the focus was on the assessment plan of the executives.
After reading the documents, half an hour has passed.
Li Dong did not rush to express his opinions, but asked, "Is this what you made?"
Yuan Chengdao shook his head and said, "This is a new plan made by the personnel affairs side, but I have added some suggestions, including the assessment of board members. For specific plans, I have consulted some well-known HR at home and abroad, including some of my senior brothers and sisters.
At this stage, the far-floor is in the stage of development and transformation, and the existing management system is very messy.
Human resources are duplicated and management is disorderly.
All these require a change. The lower-level employees need to change, and the company's senior management also needs to change.
Especially for the senior management, because we lacked manpower in the early stage, many senior management may gradually lose their power.
It’s not that we are destroying bridges when crossing the river, but the company is the company and the relationship is the emotion.
The capable ones go up, and the mediocre ones go down. This is the pain that every company will have to grow.
In order to allow capable talents to see hope and to let them see the prospects and fairness of the company, I think it is necessary to treat everyone equally.
It’s not that they can enjoy it by lying on the credit book after they made contributions to the company.
We will not miss their benefits and benefits we should have. We can even reduce their assessment difficulty year-on-year, but let them be completely free. I think this is absolutely not possible!"
Li Dong pondered for a moment and said, "I agree with this. It's not what I want to see when I'm just eating and waiting to die. But..."
Yuan Chengdao's face tightened. In fact, the veteran executives were not his main purpose.
What he really wants to supervise is the core members of the group, such as Chen Qian, Qin Hai, and Sun Tao...
Although these people are nominally their subordinates, Yuan Chengdao actually has no supervision over them.
Even if he thinks that their plan is inappropriate, their behavior is bad, and some things are wrong, he can say it without any problem, but whether to change it or not or ignore it is not something he can decide.
Just like Chen Qian, she wanted to implement some policies and hold some activities at the mall, and she was so autonomy that she didn't have to ask Yuan Chengdao for advice at all.
Even including the mobilization of tens of millions of funds, the bosses of these subsidiaries can be completely independent and there is no need to pass the consent of the group.
In Yuan Chengdao's view, this is an existence that cannot be tolerated!
It’s right for Chen Qian to be his junior sister, it’s right for him to join the company because Chen Qian has joined, and it’s even more right for Sun Tao to recommend him.
However, Yuan Chengdao didn't care about this. He was just as Chen Qian said, with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In Yuan Chengdao's eyes, personal relationships are personal relationships, and favors are favors. However, in Gong Ren, he is now the president of the group and the number one person in the group under Li Dong.
Since that's the case, the rest of the group should listen to him, including Chen Qian and the others.
Instead of now, several independent small kingdoms have been formed within the group, completely out of his control.
Li Dong knocked on the table, his face hesitated a little.
In fact, Yuan Chengdao’s starting point this time was indeed good and pertinent. It is reasonable to include the subsidiary in the jurisdiction of the group headquarters.
However, due to various reasons in the early stage, Yuanfang Group's subsidiaries were actually somewhat abnormal.
Several bosses who control the subsidiary, Qin Hai is his father-in-law, Sun Tao is his comrade-in-arms, and Chen Qian is his woman. Except for Wu Shengnan, who has little relationship with him, the other three are very close.
At this time, the three of them were included in the assessment. How to assess them?
Once they fail to meet the assessment standards, would they really want to be demoted or resigned?
To be continued...
