Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 450 461 [Deed of Sale]

The Peninsula Hotel, Wanxin Company Conference Site——
Luo Bachen, Ouyang Jing, Qi Wanda and others looked at each other, but they didn't quite understand what kind of "professional manager" Song Zhichao was talking about.

In fact, I can't blame them either.

It is only 1992 now, whether it is Hong Kong, the United States, the United Kingdom, or other places in the world, the concept of "professional managers" has not been introduced in business at all.

As far as Song Zhichao knows, "professional managers" originated in the United States in the mid-90s. The concept only existed around 1995. It means that although they are not bosses, they have the ability to manage enterprises, and they are even better at management than bosses. People from enterprises; they are well-educated, have good professional qualities, have engaged in management work in specific fields and levels in advanced management enterprises, and are good at solving the management problems faced by enterprises; they do not need to start their own companies, but You only need to flow among enterprises and engage in management work for life.

For Song Zhichao, the term "professional manager" was very impressive. I remember well that in 1999, a friend of his held a 4-day "professional manager special training camp" in Shenzhen. There were more than 60 trainees, and Song Zhichao was invited to participate in the training at half the price.

Most of the trainees in this training camp come from private enterprises, and they are all people who admire professional managers and want to become professional managers.There are four teachers in this training camp: one is said to be the former sales director of Pepsi-Cola in Hong Kong, one is the regional manager of Procter & Gamble, one is said to be the former marketing director of Wuhan Budweiser, and the other It was Song Zhichao's friend who had been the executive general manager of a regional distributor of Unilever for more than a year.The training camp was all about marketing-related knowledge. Although it seems very "pediatric" now, it was the golden rule of marketing at the time.

Participating in that training camp, Song Zhichao will never forget: no matter in the eyes of his classmates or teachers, he, who is an executive of a famous domestic listed company, does not belong to the category of "professional manager" at all.

Because at that time, professional managers in the full sense were those who had experience as middle and senior executives in multinational companies, could speak casual English, "knew" the way of modern business management, and were super confident in appearance and heart...

Probably because of this experience, in the following ten years, Song Zhichao changed from a senior wage earner to a big boss of his own business, and then achieved amazing wealth.

Looking back on everything in the past, it is still vivid.

Song Zhichao created the term "professional manager" in advance, and his purpose is actually very simple, that is, "It's a mule or a horse!"

Although Hong Kong is an international metropolis, it is densely populated with family businesses, and most of its management models are also family models. Foreign aid is rarely brought in as executives. Whether it is the head of the family or the heir, they are all superior and cannot tolerate any loss of power.

In Song Zhichao’s view, this kind of family mode of operation is good for management and operation in the early stage. It can concentrate power and implement various strategies and development plans. However, as the scale of enterprises and groups continues to grow, this mode It becomes a kind of "obstacle".

Just imagine, a group generally has diversified investment and development. Take the Li Chaoren family as an example. In addition to their "base" Cheung Kong Industrial, the future also includes real estate, department stores, communications, smart technology, etc. wait.If Li Chaoren does not decentralize power, rely on the family model to develop, and control the real estate by himself, it is understandable for his two sons to control the department store and the communication.However, the Li family's business is getting bigger and bigger. At this time, it is difficult for the three of them to support their huge business empire. They need to constantly introduce management talents. At this time, "professional managers" are the best choice.

Facts have proved that in the future, Li Chaoren's family will indeed use this pyramid model of professional manager management system to run the Li family, and the results have been remarkable.

Let's look at Song Zhichao again. In many eyes, Song Zhichao is actually a representative of the super "upstart".

That's right, in just over a year, his net worth is tens of billions, which is not counted. What makes people even more enviable and jealous is that Song Zhichao is in charge of four or five large companies since he was a child.

While being envied by others, Song Zhichao deeply understands a truth. After all, manpower is limited. As a boss, what should he manage?
If this topic is replaced by other people, they will definitely answer it. Of course, being a boss means managing the company, so there is no need to ask.

But in Song Zhichao's view, this answer is wrong.

At least for him now, this answer is wrong.

That's right, being a boss means managing the company, but that means the company is not too big, the group is not too big, you are capable enough to do it yourself, and what you do at this time is to do your job well as the boss and manage the company well.But for Song Zhichao, who now owns four or five companies but has limited energy, the goal of his management has changed, not the company, but the people!
Recruit professional managers and let these managers manage each branch on their own behalf. All I have to do is manage these people well, so as not to cause trouble, just grasp the overall situation.

Zhuge Liang was so smart, but he was exhausted. Song Zhichao thought he was not as good as Mr. Kong Ming, so he didn't want to follow in his footsteps.

In fact, having said so much, the only reason why Song Zhichao invented the title of "professional manager" is ---lazy!
……

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
Song Zhichao sat slanted on the boss's chair, squinted his eyes and whispered to each other. After everyone quieted down and looked at him, he said, "I know everyone has opinions on this contract-" ——I even heard someone say that this contract is a bond of sale.”

"In fact, this is a contract of sale!"

Everyone was in an uproar, originally thought that Song Zhichao would explain it carefully, but unexpectedly admitted it.

Seeing the astonishment on everyone's faces, Song Zhichao said calmly, "Actually, each of you has a different contract, because each of you has a different value... Therefore, the price offered to each of you is also different. .”

As soon as Song Zhichao finished speaking, everyone present covered their documents with their hands, looking nervous, for fear of being seen by the people around them.

Seeing this, Song Zhichao smiled, and couldn't help saying a word in his heart: The way to control the subordinates is to divide and conquer!
