Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 407 Establishing a Group

On the second day after his birthday, Lin Baicheng found a larger room in Xinghe Game Company and set it up as a conference room, and called his assistants and executives from various companies over for a meeting.

The topic of today's meeting is to discuss whether it is necessary to form a group of these companies based on the current situation of each company, and if it is necessary to form a group, how to form a group is better.

In this meeting, the assistants and the management of various companies can speak and express their views.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when Lin Baicheng came to the meeting room, everyone had already arrived first, so he was sent here.

The meeting begins.

Looking around at everyone in the conference room, Lin Baicheng said aloud: "I called you here today, mainly to hear your opinions on the establishment of the group. I have shown you the basic situation of the companies under my name last night. After that, I think you should have done your homework."

"Now, we are going to discuss whether it is necessary to form a group based on the current situation of these companies, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of forming a group. If we want to form a group, what should be done better."

"Here today, if you have any ideas, please let me know. I just want to listen to everyone's ideas and make a decision based on everyone's opinions."

"I won't say much else. If you have any ideas now, just say it."

After Lin Baicheng finished speaking, none of the executives spoke, but looked at several assistants.Although they are the managers of various companies, they are under the management of Lin Baicheng in name, but in fact they are managed and supervised by Lin Baicheng's assistants, so the assistants are actually half of their leaders. How can they Speak, the emotional intelligence of a capable person is not low.

"I think it is necessary to establish a group, not counting listed companies and joint ventures with others. Chairman, you currently have nearly [-] companies in Hong Kong, Japan and the United States. The number of these companies is a bit too large. Too much inconvenience for your management of the company."

"Therefore, it is necessary to establish a group. However, the establishment of a group should not only establish a group, but should establish multiple groups, and place companies that can complement each other under the same group. It is convenient for inter-communication, which can promote the company's work efficiency and save expenses. At the same time, the size of the group must be larger than that of a company. When competing with the outside world, a larger size often has greater advantages and is easier beat the competition."

Haruko Mori was the first to speak out. She repeated what she had said to Lin Baicheng before, but the general meaning remained the same.

After listening to Haruko Mouri, Lin Baicheng just nodded and didn't say anything.

"Let me state my point of view."

Cheng Yufeng said aloud: "As Assistant Mao Li said, there are many advantages to establishing a group. After several companies that can complement each other establish a group, it will help the company's business development. At the same time, the establishment of the group has more room for growth. Motivate existing management and staff."

"However, to set up a group, you need to do a good job of screening. It is best not to put companies that are not complementary in the group, otherwise the group will be too large and bloated, which will easily lead to waste of resources. Take Hutchison Whampoa Group as an example. There are more than 200 companies in this group, but the result of the large number of companies is that the group loses money every year, after the group is streamlined, the company's performance immediately changed positively, so the number of companies in the group is not the better."

"What's more, not all companies should be placed under the group. Take New Century Software as an example. This company's performance last year was very good, but this company and other companies can't see where there is any complementarity. Therefore, this There is no need for a company to be placed in a certain group, just let the company operate independently."

"I'm done."

Cheng Yufeng said one last sentence, and then fell silent.

"I also think there should be a bloc."

Isabella immediately said: "However, not only a group must be established, but a consortium must also be established. Assistant Maori said very well that companies that can complement each other in terms of business should merge to form a group, but even so, it will eventually There are multiple groups, and groups need to help each other and strengthen management, so it is necessary to set up a consortium to comprehensively manage these group companies.”

"After an enterprise develops and grows, it must establish a group, and when there are more groups, it should form a consortium."

"BOSS now has about [-] companies. These companies have to set up at least four or five groups according to their business. Only by setting up a higher-level consortium can the management of the group company be strengthened, and at the same time, the relationship between the group and the group can be strengthened. Better collaboration, resource sharing, etc.”

Isabella is more radical. She even thinks that a consortium should be established to manage the group company to be established.

"When the size and number of group companies increase, it is necessary to form a consortium, but it is too early."

Haruko Mori immediately objected, she said: "The earliest time everyone present worked for the chairman was in 77 the year before last, and many of them worked for the chairman for less than a year. After the establishment of the group itself, the management of the group It is very likely that the top management will be promoted from all of you present, and everyone's authority will be greatly increased at that time. No one can guarantee that someone will harm the company's interests for their own benefit. Therefore, after the establishment of the group, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and management of the group's management. "

"However, in this case, if another consortium is established, the senior executives of the consortium are also likely to be promoted from among you. After all, the chairman is unlikely to send the newly recruited people to high positions. If the senior executives of the consortium are promoted from among you, Then the management of the group will be promoted downwards, and many people will rise to high positions at once. Let alone the question of whether they are worthy of trust or not, let the other party rise to a high position without the ability to investigate. This is a detriment to the company Being irresponsible is also irresponsible to the employee."

"So, I think it is too early to establish a consortium. Even if a group is established, the authority of each group's management should be limited. It is not too late to make an appointment after a year or two or even longer inspection. "

After hearing this, Isabella immediately retorted: "But in this way, the management of the group will not be able to better manage the subsidiaries below without too much authority. It involves a lot of energy from various companies, but it is not worthwhile.”

"As long as it is something that the chairman asks, whoever doesn't listen can deal with it. Anyone who leaves the company can operate, and no one is irreplaceable."

Haruko Mori said murderously, as for the things that the chairman Lin Baicheng didn't ask about, it was a normal office struggle. If anyone can't handle the people under him, then that person's ability is questionable.

"Today we only talk about the establishment of a group, not the establishment of a consortium."

Lin Baicheng spoke out at the right time, but he supported Haruko Mori, because Haruko Mori's concerns were not unreasonable. The people here have only been with him for about a year and a half. Trust is a big problem.

Although it is said that as long as the supervision is strengthened, there is no need to worry about who will hack his money, but if the other party really wants to use power for personal gain, there are plenty of ways to do so as long as they sit in a high position. .

Even for Wei Li, the big class of Hutchison Whampoa, although Lin Baicheng did not interfere much with the management of Hutchison Whampoa, it stands to reason that Wei Li should have great power, but Lin Baicheng sent Cheng Yufeng to contain and supervise Wei Li , plus he holds financial power, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Of course, if Wei Li and the others really want to do something, they can do it without Lin Baicheng regularly managing Hutchison Whampoa.It's just that it's one thing for Wei Li and the others to be able to do it. Lin Baicheng can find out if he seriously investigates afterwards, so executives like Wei Li and the others dare not mess around.

In addition to management reasons, there are also wealth considerations.Now Lin Baicheng's assets including the overvalued Hutchison Whampoa stock are only more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, most of which are still the stock market value, which is difficult to convert into cash, so his assets are actually not enough.

In addition, the consortium is best established on the basis of a large bank. Galaxy Bank is now only a medium-sized bank in Xiangjiang. Even Xiangjiang has not yet gone out. There is no way to rely on a bank to form a consortium, so we have to wait for Galaxy Bank. Let's talk about development.

Hearing that Lin Baicheng agreed with her point of view, Mouri Haruko couldn't help but smile slightly, obviously very happy, what made her even more happy was to overwhelm Isabella in front of so many executives.

Of course, Haruko Mori and Isabella cannot talk about fighting openly and secretly, but it is impossible to say that they cooperate closely with each other, and the struggle between power is inevitable.

At first, Haruko Mori was okay when she stayed in Japan. Later, after she went to the United States, Lin Baicheng asked her to supervise the Golden Fleece Company and also supervise other companies in the United States. Haruko Mori took advantage of this This right interferes with various companies in the United States, highlighting her existence from time to time, allowing managers such as Eric to report to Isabella and Bill Hawes while also reporting to her.

What Haruko Mori did naturally violated the rights of Isabella and Bill Harveys, but they would definitely not report to Lin Baicheng that Haruko Mori violated her authority or something, but tacitly suppressed Haruko Mori. As for letting Haruko Mori do nothing, she didn't let Haruko Mori do their assistant work either.

Haruko Mori was naturally unhappy when she was suppressed, but she also did not choose to report to Lin Baicheng, but made friends with Eric and other managers, and the three of them tacitly limited the office struggle to a certain extent.

Lin Baicheng was aware of what the three of them were doing, but he chose to turn a blind eye to the fact that they hadn't made a big fuss or affected the operation of the company. After all, things like office struggles cannot be banned. It's fine if you don't expand it.

Isabella, whose opinion was rejected, was a little frustrated, after all, it was a big loss of points.

"I also agree with the establishment of a group."

Bill Harveys skipped the topic of the consortium and said aloud: "The benefits of establishing a group are still greater, but before forming various companies into a group, you must first consider whether a certain company has a short-term listing plan. If there is, the company should be independent, otherwise, after the establishment of the group, the company will also be split off and listed separately, and the listing of the group as a whole is not conducive to the capital market's evaluation of the stock price."

Liao Siren immediately said: "Companies like Hutchison Whampoa and Hong Kong Electric Group that have already been listed and have a high market value, it is best not to include them in the establishment of a group. Take Hutchison Whampoa as an example. It itself is a group company. Regardless of the company's size or market value, it is already very large."

"Makes sense."

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Tsubasa Sato and Nanako Chiba also expressed their views later, believing that a group should be established, which is conducive to the integration of resources.

"I am not opposed to integrating multiple companies to form a group. After all, the benefits of establishing a group are visible. However, the establishment of a group belongs to the establishment of a group, but it cannot affect the operation of each company for the purpose of establishing a group. This matter cannot be rushed. It’s not too late. At the same time, you don’t need to set up several groups at the same time. You can set up a group first and concentrate on establishing the group. After you gain experience, the establishment of the remaining groups will be easier.” This is Yuan Tianfan Said.

Eric Davis suggested: "The establishment of a group will inevitably create many more jobs, so it is necessary to recruit talents while grouping."

Shirley Lansing, Huang Xizhao and others also expressed their opinions. The unanimous opinion of all is that they agree with the establishment of the group, and no one opposes the establishment of the group.

It is normal that no one objected. The establishment of a group is indeed beneficial to all companies related to the business, and it is also beneficial to them.The establishment of a group means that there are more channels for advancement, and many people may benefit from it. They have no reason to object, whether public or private.

"Everyone thinks that a group should be established, and I think so too, so the matter of establishing a group has been settled like this."

After everyone expressed their opinions, Lin Baicheng concluded aloud and made a direct decision. There was nothing to consider about the establishment of a group.

"I very much agree with Tianfan's point of view, that is, we can first set up a group to conduct a pilot project. After the group is established, it will not be too late to establish the remaining companies as a group. Next, we will take a 10-minute break, and then continue the meeting to discuss first. which companies to combine into one group.”

After finishing speaking, Lin Baicheng got up and left. He knew that if he didn't leave, no one would leave before him.

Seeing Lin Baicheng leave, several assistants got up and left, some of the others stayed in the meeting room, and some also walked out.
