Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1056 Do things according to business rules

The young girl looked at Niu Xiaoqiang again with a look of doubt on her face, and found that Niu Xiaoqiang was well-dressed and did not look like a vagrant, so she put down her vigilance a little and asked, "Why are you looking for our boss?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll call him myself, so you don't need to inform me, Whitman, come out for a while, I want to talk to you about something."

Whitman was taken aback when he heard Niu Xiaoqiang's voice, and then ran out excitedly.Just as he was about to say hello to Niu Xiaoqiang, Niu Xiaoqiang stopped him with a wave: "There are many people here, let's talk over there."

Whitman snorted, nodded and followed Niu Xiaoqiang to the big tree across the road.

Niu Xiaoqiang praised: "Whitman, you and Puliss have done a good job. I am very satisfied with such an impressive performance in such a short period of time. I hope you will continue to work hard and continue to maintain your current job. work style and make greater contributions to the company.”

Whitman immediately said modestly: "Without the investment from the boss, Priss and I would not have had the chance to make good use of it. In addition, the boss has given us many good suggestions. Hewlett-Packard can get to where it is today, thanks to this." Not open."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and waved his hands: "Needless to say nice things, you and Priss are basically in charge of the company's affairs, and you have played an irreplaceable role. I just listened to your way of handling things. Personally, I think it's all very appropriate, so let's follow the rules set by the two of you from now on, as for me, I won't forcibly interfere with the company's affairs if it's not necessary."

Whitman is more or less proud. The achievements he and Pulis have made are indeed dazzling. Now HP is well-known in the Boston area. Even some small and medium-sized companies have begun to pay attention to them and are willing to hand over some orders to them.If this trend continues to develop, it will be difficult for Hewlett-Packard to think about it.

Niu Xiaoqiang originally thought that the two co-founders were just good at technology, but he didn't expect that they were also quite organized in management. The words he heard just now are the best proof.

He couldn't help asking: "Whitman, how did you and Puliss come up with so many effective management methods? I remember that you don't seem to be very good at management. Could it be that you suddenly became enlightened? "

Whitman laughed when he heard the words: "Since I met the boss, Pulis and I have had a good time. Not only have we made great progress in our career, but we have also gained a lot in terms of personal relationships. Let's be honest with the boss, the company has The rules and regulations of our company were jointly formulated by our two girlfriends. They are female college students we met when we went to a nearby university to recruit temporary workers. They are majoring in business administration. They are all seniors this year and will graduate soon. Yes, they are all interns at Hewlett-Packard. One is the company's interim financial director, and the other is the company's interim business manager. To become a full-time employee, I want the boss to make the decision in person.”

No matter what kind of company it is, the power of personnel is a very critical link. It can be said that as long as whoever masters the company's personnel and appointments, whoever controls everything about the company.

Whitman and Price are not fools. They have experienced the blow of entrepreneurial failure, and their understanding of society is much deeper than those who have just stepped out of school.The two unanimously decided that they would never touch the power of personnel appointments, and they should leave this right to the big boss Niu Xiaoqiang.

Niu Xiaoqiang was very satisfied with the performance of the two of them, and he smiled slightly: "It seems that you two have indeed matured a lot after experiencing the blow of entrepreneurial failure, but I am not a person who likes to seize power. I am going to hand over the appointment of my girlfriend to professionals."

Whitman couldn't help being taken aback, and asked hesitantly, "I don't know who the professionals the boss is referring to are?"

Niu Xiaoqiang came here today mainly to talk to the two co-founders about Kailina. He didn’t hide anything, but said it directly: “I hired a professional manager who graduated from MBA and law to host the event. For HP's future work, her name is Karina, and she has outstanding abilities, both experience and ability, as well as insight and insight. I believe that under her leadership, HP's future will be even better."

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't intend to discuss with the two of them, but was stating a fact.In other words, no matter whether the two objected or not, they could not change the result of his appointment of Kailinna.He is the largest shareholder of the company, so he naturally has this power.

Whitman is an American through and through, and he has been outside for such a long time, so he is very clear about American business rules, and knows that any company that has reached a large scale will hire professional managers to manage it.

As for shareholders, professional managers are generally evaluated through performance.For those professional managers who do a good job, shareholders will continue to hire and increase their salaries.Professional managers who do not do well will be fired and replaced by the next professional manager.

The newly established micro and small companies can be connected by common aspirations, and the founders will work together towards the same goal.When the company gradually develops and grows, it must start to transform and manage the company's affairs through standardized management methods.

The former can be seen as using emotion to maintain the company, while the latter uses reason to realize the standardized operation of the company.Between emotion and reason, reason is obviously more in line with business logic.

After listening to Niu Xiaoqiang's words, Whitman did not show dissatisfaction, because he knew very well that there was a need for reform and transformation in Hewlett-Packard.If the company's management system is not adjusted in time, it will definitely affect the company's future development.

He smiled and said, "I totally agree with the boss's decision. In fact, Pulis and I have already discussed this matter in private. We both feel that if a company wants to grow and develop, it cannot be achieved for a long time only by a single effort." To maintain it, standardized management must be achieved. At that time, our girlfriends from both sides were also present, and they both supported our idea. As long as the boss said something, we absolutely did not have any resistance."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "It's good that you can understand. We are talking about business. Since we are doing business, we must do things according to business rules."
