Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1447
Seeing that they didn't understand, Wang Lin said, "Let me put it another way, the advisory team. Does this make it easier to understand?"

Zhou Boqiang and Deng Dabao shouted, "Military adviser? Adviser?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "It's about the same!"

Deng Dabao asked: "Why do you want to form such a team?"

Wang Lindao: "Actually, our establishment of a think tank is a strategic move of the company. The role of this think tank is very important, especially when the company develops to a certain scale, the importance of the think tank is self-evident. "

Zhou Boqiang said: "It's a lot of money to hire such a group of people, right? And they don't come to work in the company? Is it worth it?"

Wang Lindao: "Think tanks have a very important advantage. They don't come to work in the company, so they can be seen by onlookers. Moreover, these people are top figures in related industries, and they are more professional than us. Hundreds of schools of thought contend, and they can protect our company."

Deng Dabao said: "But they don't know how to run a business, do they?"

Wang Lindao: "Think tanks only give ideas and suggestions to the company, such as analyzing the current economic situation at home and abroad, and checking the current mechanism of the company. We can also ask them for advice when we encounter difficulties. The final decision-making person is still ourselves. .”

Zhou Boqiang said: "Mr. Wang, please forgive me. There are so many people in our company, including a lot of doctors and masters. What kind of talents are there? Do you need to find some people outside to be military advisers?"

Wang Lin explained with a smile that there are two types of corporate think tanks, one is common internal planning and intellectual assistance provided by shareholders, but whether such effective think tanks can generate value depends on the number of talents in the company.Generally, such think tanks are mainly large enterprises and listed companies, which have the strength to recruit such high-quality planning talents and reserve such shareholders.

The second category is external think tanks, that is, external brains.Including professional think tanks, independent individuals and community organisations.It is not difficult for professional institutions to understand that think tanks with corresponding needs can be found at different stages of enterprise development, that is, intellectual service institutions.Independent individuals are individuals who are successful and prestigious in a certain field, helping to provide some strategic assistance.Community organizations are choosing their expected industries and valuable organizations, and seeking help from personal think tanks through organizational and social activities, which can also help the enterprise system related strategies and implementation strategies.

Most Fortune 500 companies have their own think tanks.They have a perennial list of think tank cooperation, including various think tanks: strategy, industry development, policy analysis, R&D, products, etc.They are constantly looking for relevant think tanks, which are necessary for the healthy development of enterprises.

Wang Lin said: "So the think tank is not far away. What we need is its real efficiency. This is what our company must take on the road of development. They mainly provide us with consulting services and provide opinions and suggestions for our company's senior management. , judge the operation plan, and propose various designs. Not only me, but you can consult them if you don’t understand anything.”

Zhou Boqiang and Deng Dabao looked at each other and fell silent.

Wang Lin continued: "Think tanks can also give us feedback, follow up and investigate the implementation plan, and feed back the operation results to the company for easy correction. They can diagnose the company, study the cause of the problem according to the current situation, and find the crux of the problem. They can even predict the future for us, use various methods from different angles, and propose various prediction schemes for us to choose from.”

Deng Dabao said: "Will they participate in the company's major decision-making? For example, in the work of our marketing department, will we listen to me or theirs?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Yes, what is the status of this think tank? Is it higher than all our vice presidents? Or is it at the same level? If there is a conflict, who will listen to?"

Wang Lin knew what they were worried about.

No one wants to lose power!

Whether Deng Dabao came to file a complaint, or Zhou Boqiang sent people to the marketing department, it was all for better control of power!
Wang Lin needed to dispel their worries.

"Actually, you also know that the establishment of political advisors and military strategists has become a routine organization in the past. From the perspective of the necessity of market evolution and economic development, think tanks should also belong to the organizational routine of economic entities. Most enterprises cannot To recruit enough qualified experts and scholars to participate in the development decision-making of the enterprise, we adopt external and joint methods to set up think tanks, organize temporary investigation and research, and use external experience and thinking power to help enterprises solve major development problems and overcome difficulties. This This method has become the current mainstream. Of course, this is a stopgap measure for enterprises, but it is not a fundamental solution.”

Zhou Boqiang said: "You mean, this think tank only exists for a while? It's not a permanent institution?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "I mean, their role cannot replace the talents within the company, let alone you vice presidents!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "The company's decision-making, or should we make it?"

Wang Lin nodded and said: "The Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty Liu Bang once asked the officials: How did I win the world? The answers of the officials were all inconclusive. Liu Bang then said: The reason why I am today is thanks to three people. Boss Zhou, Boss Deng, Do you know which three people Liu Bang is talking about?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "I've heard this story before. These three people are known as the Three Heroes of the early Han Dynasty."

Deng Dabao smiled and said, "I know too. Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin!"

Wang Lindao: "Yes. Liu Bang said that the reason why I am today is due to three people: I am not as good as Zhang Liang in strategizing and decisively winning thousands of miles away; I am not as good as Xiao He in guarding the country, appeasing the people, and continuously supplying army rations; With a crowd of tens of thousands, the battle must be won, and the attack must be taken. I am not as good as Han Xin. The three are all outstanding, and I can use them. This is why I take over the world."

Liu Bang said that his success is not because he can do it himself, but because he can use those capable people.Liu Bang deeply understands the essence of leadership. The greater the leadership, the greater the power and the more blind spots.No matter what, the leader has the final say, because he has the power, not because he has the ability.

Therefore, if you can listen to other people's opinions, brainstorm ideas, and listen to others, you will be a good leader. Otherwise, you will make mistakes.Liu Bang listened to Han Xin in war, Xiao He in governing the country, and Zhang Liang in strategy, so he succeeded.

Wang Lin used the past to describe the present, and said: "The reason why I am today is because of your help. How can I manage such a large company by myself? Now I want to form a think tank, and I also want to Get more high-end talents for my use. But!"

He paused slightly to attract attention, and then said in an emphatic tone: "The company's decisions are still made by us. The company's affairs, big or small, still have to be carried out by you! Can you understand my thoughts and ideas?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "I can understand that it is to set up a staff department! It's not from within the company, but from outsiders."

Deng Dabao asked: "How much money do I need to give them? It's not easy for those big bosses to move."

Wang Lindao: "As far as I know, for those large foreign companies, their expenditure on cooperation with think tanks generally accounts for more than 3% of the company's sales revenue, and they will include this cooperation in their budget at the beginning of the year."

Both Zhou Boqiang and Deng Dabao were taken aback, extremely shocked.

Deng Dabao lost his voice: "3% of the sales revenue? Our company's annual sales are tens of billions, so don't we have to spend a few hundred million?"

Zhou Boqiang was also moved: "Mr. Wang, this is too much! It's not worth it!"

Deng Dabao said: "Yes, it doesn't matter if you spend hundreds of thousands a year for fun, but a few hundred million? Isn't that too wasteful?"

When Wang Lin heard him say a joke, he knew that they didn't really understand the role of think tanks.

It's no wonder they, people in this era, not to mention migrant workers, are entrepreneurs, how many people know about think tanks?
It has only been a few years for domestic private enterprises to really develop?

In the 90s, those big entrepreneurs who were all-powerful and bullish for a while relied on their personal abilities, means, contacts, resources, plus a bit of opportunity and luck, and suddenly made a fortune.The richer people are, the more conceited and proud they are, so they don't listen to other people's suggestions!

Some people rely on the platform for success, while others rely on the luck of the times, but they all regard it as their own personal ability, blindly confident, and wantonly expand.

Many companies can't live for three to five years because of this reason.

And people with great wisdom can see their own shortcomings and use the strengths of others to serve themselves.

Wang Lin said with a smile: "I'm talking about the situation abroad. Domestic talents don't need to be paid so high. How much is a professor's annual salary?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "Then, who do we need to hire as brain trusters?"

Wang Lindao: "We need to discuss this. Of course, what the company needs most is an economist."

Deng Dabao said: "Economics—home?"

Wang Lindao: "Yes, if we want to invite, we invite the most famous people! This has another advantage, we can borrow their connections and resources."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Hey, once you say that, I understand."

Wang Lindao: "Boss Zhou, do you know any masters?"

Zhou Boqiang thought for a while and said, "You should consult Hanmin about this matter. I know an economist with whom I have contacts, and Hanmin often consults him on the direction of the economic situation at home and abroad."

Wang Lin said: "What's the name of this person?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "It seems to be Professor Qian. I don't remember the specific name. I don't know him the same way! I haven't dealt with him in normal times."

Wang Lindao: "My surname is Wu? Is it Qian Ying?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "It seems to be this person. Do you know him?"

Wang Lindao: "I've heard of it. Is Qian Ying familiar with Leader Zhou? Then I have to visit Leader Zhou and ask him to match up. They also have a circle of people. We only need to find one of them and use him to find them." Others, it's relatively simple."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Mr. Wang, even if you want to look for them, you can't look for people from the same circle. You can look for them separately, so you can listen to more different opinions."

Wang Lindao: "This suggestion is very good. If you have any famous people you know, you must introduce them to me, and I will invite them in person!"

Deng Dabao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm really a layman in this matter. The most talented person I know is you."

Wang Lin waved his hand.

Zhou Boqiang said: "Why don't you ask everyone more? There are many people and strength, so there will always be someone who knows those experts and scholars?"

Wang Lindao: "Okay. Then, the establishment of a think tank is settled like this!"

Deng Dabao and Zhou Boqiang were still very happy.

Because Wang Lin made such an important decision, he didn't discuss it with other people, but only talked with them.

This shows that the people Wang Lin attaches the most importance to are the two of them.

After get off work, Wang Lin called Zhou Hanmin.

Zhou Hanmin was going to attend a banquet at noon, and the object of the banquet was an economic and trade delegation from Dongyang.

In the past few years, the relationship between my country and Japan has been relatively relaxed.

Many Japanese-funded enterprises entered our country during this period.

Wang Lin wanted to make an appointment to visit Zhou Hanmin.

Zhou Hanmin said: "Wang Lin, what's the matter? If you have something to say, talk about it. There is no need to beat around the bush between us."

Wang Lin laughed and said, "The leader still understands me. Leader, it's like this. I heard Mr. Zhou said that you know Professor Qian Ying?"

"I know you, what's the matter?"

"I would like to ask the leader to do me a favor. Let me introduce you. Is it convenient?"

"Then come here!"

"now?"

"Old Qian will also attend the banquet at noon, you come here now, just in time to meet him."

"That's great, thank you leader, I'll be here right now."

"Let's go to Jinjiang Hotel!"

"Okay, leader."

Wang Lin hung up the phone and came out to look at the secretaries.

"Si Qing, come with me." Wang Lin said.

"Okay, Mr. Wang." Si Qing stood up and agreed.

Guo Lingling looked at Wang Lin and saw that he didn't speak, so she didn't speak.

Wang Lin took Si Qing out the door.

Leng Meng whispered: "Sister Guo, why didn't Mr. Wang take you today?"

Guo Lingling said, "I must be drinking. I can't hold a drink, but Si Qing has a lot of drink."

Leng Meng said: "It's no wonder Mr. Wang never takes me out, it's because I can't drink, right?"

Guo Lingling smiled and said, "Do you really want to go out with Mr. Wang?"

Leng Meng said: "As a secretary, who doesn't want to go out with the boss?"

Guo Lingling said: "There will be opportunities in the future, and it doesn't necessarily have to be able to drink. But you have to have your strengths, and Mr. Wang takes you out, and you must be useful. Otherwise, why did you take you?"

Leng Meng said: "I don't have any strengths either!"

Guo Lingling said: "Then just stay in the office honestly!"

……

Jin Jiang Hotel is adjacent to the commercial circle of Huaihai Road. The architecture is characterized by the integration of European traditional style and modern facilities.

Wang Lin usually seldom comes here to eat, because the style of the restaurant is more inclined to the style of government affairs reception, and it is a bit old-fashioned.

When they arrived, they happened to bump into Zhou Hanmin's car.

Zhou Hanmin's car stopped for a while, he poked his head out and waved to Wang Lin's car.

Wang Lin also hurriedly probed and greeted Zhou Hanmin.

Uncle Zhong slowed down the speed of the car, and after Zhou Hanmin's car got in, he followed behind and slowly drove in.

After the car stopped, Zhou Hanmin and Wang Lin met.

"These Orientals who came today are a bit difficult to deal with." Zhou Hanmin put his hands behind his back, "But, regardless of whether their projects are given to us or not, I have to entertain them for this meal!"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Leader, you can't let go of children, and you can't play with wolves."

Zhou Hanmin said: "I'm afraid that meat buns will beat dogs, and they will never return! I don't know how many such economic and trade inspection groups will be received in a year, but how many of them will actually stay?"

Wang Lindao: "Let's have a look first before we talk about it!"

Zhou Hanmin nodded, waved his hand, and a group of people walked into the banquet hall.
