550 Setting up a firewall
When a company develops to a certain scale, there will be chaos when there are more people. Therefore, the headquarters of those large companies are full of cliques, and office politics and intrigues are going on every day.
Not to mention doing things, just guarding against open and covert attacks is exhausting.
Tian Qing was squeezed out from there, so she hated that kind of working atmosphere.
But it was much easier and simpler to come to Celebrity Chef Manufacturing. This is a new enterprise that currently seems to be full of vigor and vitality. She likes the working atmosphere here very much.
Although she is sure that when this company grows, there will still be intrigues.
But at that time, as a veteran, her position and feelings were different from those of a middle-level cadre, so she had to seize the opportunity in front of her and become a veteran of this company.
"By the way, Mr. Tian, do you have any plans for the future development of your department?"
Xiao Feng smiled and asked casually, but Tian Qing regarded this as Xiao Feng's assessment of her, and she naturally did not want to miss this opportunity to show her face in front of the chairman.
"That's right, Mr. Xiao, we did some research before. We found that our company currently has more than 400 franchise stores, and many of the consumables are still allowed to be purchased by the store owners from the market. We think this is very irregular. Management should be strengthened.
In the future, we should provide full coverage of not only the main ingredients, but also all supplies, so that we can be more formal and bring more profits to the company."
Tian Qing answered very seriously, and Xiao Feng was really taken aback.
When they held their first investment and franchising conference before, because it was their first time and they had little experience, many of the rules were made hastily.
For example, some simple consumables, simple ingredients such as onions, ginger, and garlic for cooking, as well as some consumables such as paper towels, drinking habits, and paper beverage cups, are all open to franchise stores for them to purchase on their own.
of.
Now that Tian Qing brought this up and proposed that they must deliver the goods uniformly in the future, Xiao Feng was of course stunned, because he had never thought about how much profit this could bring before.
"Mr. Xiao, Golden Arch Gate and Kaifeng Cai use this kind of full coverage and unified distribution. This can better monitor the franchise stores. Secondly, it also unifies safety and health standards, which is more conducive to the brand image.
maintain."
Xiao Feng nodded. This is indeed very important. For example, Kaifeng Cai and Golden Arches use paper towels with their own trademarks printed on them, and the paper towels are of very high quality.
As for his franchise stores, according to Xiaolin's national inspection report, many use low-quality paper towels in order to save money. This can easily leave a very bad impression on customers and is indeed not conducive to the maintenance of the brand image.
"Come here! This can also bring us profits. We adopt a unified bidding model for the paper towel factory, beverage boxes, and various vegetable ingredients we use. Because of the large usage, this gives us bargaining power. This
It can greatly reduce costs, and franchisees can get better quality consumables with less money. And we can also... Mr. Xiao, don’t underestimate these, even if we have a profit of one cent on a paper towel, you
Calculate how many tissues we use in a year with so many franchise stores?"
Xiao Feng was used to being careless in the past, and he really never thought about these things. But now that Tian Qing said this, it seems that this is really the case.
Because of the large usage, they can lower the purchase price from suppliers, and franchisees can get low-priced and high-quality consumables. Even if they make very low profits on these consumables, because they are fast-moving consumer goods, after a year
That’s a lot of money to make!
"Mr. Xiao, when I was at Kaifeng Cai and Golden Arch Gate, they made over hundreds of millions in profits every year just from paper towels, straws, drink cups, etc., and such consumables."
If I just go for it, how can I earn so much?
"Okay, Mr. Tian's proposal is very good, so it will be proposed and implemented at the second investment and franchising conference. The previous franchise stores must also implement it."
If there is money to be made, Xiao Feng will naturally not object.
And Tian Qing was very happy to see that Xiao Feng was very satisfied with his proposal. This time, he showed his face in front of Mr. Xiao.
"Okay, now comes the financial aspect. In terms of finance, Katya will serve as the financial director of the celebrity chef group, and Xia Hongtao will serve as the deputy director, assisting Director Katja in managing the company's finances."
The most core part of the company is finance, which cannot be left to anyone else. Only Katya is the one who reassures Xiao Feng the most.
As for Xia Hongtao, he is still in the assessment period. After all, the financial aspect is too important.
Xiao Feng was very reassured by Xia Hongtaodao's performance so far. He was indeed doing his best, and as a financial veteran, he could definitely see some abnormalities in the company's finances.
For example, there are huge purchase fees for "Beef imported from Belarus" and "Secret Recipe Seasoning Packs". These two items can be said to occupy the absolute majority of the current manufacturing costs of celebrity chefs.
As a financial veteran, Xia Hongtao would definitely understand that there was something fishy here, but he completely turned a blind eye. Sometimes the new accountant below would even raise some questions.
Even without Katya stepping forward, it is said that Xia Hongtao stepped forward and gave those little accountants a lesson.
Xiao Feng naturally admires such a person with such a high level of consciousness.
That's why he was given the position of vice president. Don't underestimate this vice president, his status is very high.
Everyone knows that although President Kajiaka is the financial director of Celebrity Chef Manufacturing, her work focus has now shifted to Waiting Island.
The ingredient package production base over there has been constructed and the trial operation has ended. Official production will begin soon.
In fact, that is the core department of celebrity chef manufacturing. With the ingredient package factory, celebrity chef manufacturing can operate normally.
Celebrity chef manufacturing is like a gun, and the ingredient package factory is like a bullet factory. Without bullets, your gun is just a fire stick.
Katya is a veteran among veterans. She has been with Xiao Feng earlier than anyone else in the company, so her status in the company is transcendent.
Everyone knows this in their hearts. Even Xiao Feng said that if there is a problem that cannot be solved in his absence, he should go to Katya.
Although Xiao Feng and Katya never showed anything in front of everyone, everyone agreed in their hearts that she was Xiao Feng's wife. As for Zhu Ziqi, that was...
Zhu Ziqi is also very aware of her own status, and she also understands Katya's status. She is a smart girl and has never shown any jealousy in front of Xiao Feng.
This is why Xiao Feng likes her and brings her to this meeting.
"As for the company's human resources, it is left to Zhu Ziqi and Mr. Zhu will manage it. Mr. Zhu is responsible for the daily recruitment of employees, the company's team building, employee welfare, and logistics."
Xiao Feng announced the next appointment, and everyone applauded to express their congratulations to Zhu Ziqi.
To be honest, she is the most junior person in the company. Everyone knows why she got this appointment, but everyone is smart and no one can tell.
As for why Xiao Feng appointed Zhu Ziqi as HR director, he also wanted to train this girl.
He is not a ruthless guy, but after having another world come to him, his ambition has grown bigger. He knows that he cannot have only one woman in his life.
Although Katya has never expressed anything to herself, there is a tacit understanding between them. From the earliest days, she went through life and death together. Later, she has been the biggest supporter behind the scenes of her own business.
Therefore, in his heart, Katya is indeed the most suitable candidate for the palace, even though neither of them has confessed their feelings, and there has been no real breakthrough.
But he cannot abandon a girl like Zhu Ziqi, and he is reluctant to abandon her.
Previously, he asked Zhu Ziqi to be the supervisor of the scientific research laboratory headed by He Fangzhou. The girl did a good job, but He Fangzhou hasn't done much at the moment.
Xiao Feng transferred her here and served as the human resources director for a period of time to train her.
The source of power to run a country must basically grasp three things: the barrel of a gun, financial power, and the power to appoint personnel.
The source of power to run a company is only to seize finance and personnel.
So there is Katya in finance and Zhu Ziqi in personnel, so even if he doesn't appear in the company often, he is still reassured.
"The other thing is the ingredient package factory. This company will become an independent company in the future, isolated from the celebrity chef group. Kajia will be the president of this company, and Shang Zhenye will be the vice president of this company.
, assisting President Katyaka in his work.”
When Xiao Feng said this, everyone basically understood that the boss was doing cutting and separation, and this move was really powerful.
Just like Jack Ma cut off Zhi Moubao and Ali Moumou, this is setting up a firewall to prevent future changes in the company's internal structure from affecting the boss's control over the company.
In fact, Majek made this move too late. By the time he separated Zhi Moubao from Alibaba, the Japanese had already invested in Alibaba.
As a result, although Zhi Moubao seems to be independent now, in fact, if he really wants to be independent from Ali Moubao, he will need to pay the Japanese hundreds of billions.
This is just the Japanese. The Americans have not settled their accounts yet. Don't look at Yahoo! in the United States, which is already on its last legs and will soon be in a state of collapse.
But in fact, I am the first major shareholder to invest in Alibaba, and I can live a comfortable life just by paying dividends every year!
Xia Hongtao, who is a financial expert, sincerely admires his boss's method of cutting off assets and setting up firewalls in advance.
