Back to 1988

Chapter 926
We had a meal together in the company at noon. For such a big step taken this time, we briefly celebrated. We got through the turbulence, and the rest was smooth sailing.

In the meeting room in the afternoon, more than a dozen department heads were fully seated. Lu Feng walked in and sat on the main seat, and said, "I'll look at the reports of each department when I have time. A few things, first, the issue of financing and the overseas business department. Second, regarding the further dilution of employee shareholding votes, I think more options should be given to the core members of the R&D company as rewards. Third, regarding the Tianjin factory , The progress of the group headquarters building. Fourth, the discussion on the electric city project approval plan, and fifth, on the internal adjustment again, the existing board of directors will be upgraded to the board of directors, and the employee stock ownership representatives will be placed in the subordinate units of the board of directors!"

After listening to these questions, everyone sighed in their hearts. The company is developing so fast that the board of directors can no longer meet the needs of shareholders and needs to be changed into a board of directors.

With the entry of international capital, the formation of the board of directors and the election of the rotating president and CEO will be a matter of time. The title of the chairman of the board will soon become history.

In fact, when the Schroeder Group was introduced, the executives were a little worried. Once the financing was completed, Lu Feng's shareholding would become single digits, and he would be easily kicked out. Globally, it is impossible not to introduce capital.

Everyone knows about the electrical city. This matter is written in the prospectus. Jiafeng Electronics will be the first electrical city in China.

What surprised everyone the most was that Lu Feng continued to promote the weight of the R&D company within the group, which made many executives feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, I have also made great contributions to the company, but in Mr. Lu's eyes, the R&D company is the most precious one.

The previous few questions are just a brief report and discussion. The Tianjin factory will be put into use early next year, and the group building has also started construction with the funding in place. It is expected to be completed by the end of 1995 and put into use in early 1996.

When the issue of further diluting employee stockholdings was discussed, the atmosphere in the meeting room became more subtle. Liu Cheng seemed a little excited, but he hid it well.

"Actually, I think the group has done a good job in this regard, but it has indeed added a lot of heavyweight engineers this year. These teams all need some temptation. I think it is necessary to give them some sweetness, and I don't mean to deliberately Take care of engineers, not your own people, but specially hired personnel, otherwise you need to invest a lot of cash flow."

Liu Cheng looked at Lu Feng and said, "Boss Lu, I think that this time the additional option allocation should not involve the senior management of the R&D company, but should go to the key project teams for team and individual targeted additional issuance."

"This proposal is good. If you have any ideas, please share." Lu Feng asked everyone.

Of these people who are working, who doesn't want to fight for some benefits for their own departments? Wei Yandan, as the general manager, is naturally inconvenient to talk. Du Guoying wants to give the communication company some equity incentives, but he just started this year, so he is really embarrassed to speak up.

After a long silence, Zhu Lidong still spoke.

"Mr. Lu, the marketing department currently has a lot of employees, and everyone is working hard. This year's sales in all aspects are good, and the sales channels have been opened up in many cities. Can you issue a certain amount of equity incentives to some middle-level managers?" Zhu Lidong tentatively asked.

"Why does the marketing department want so many equity incentives? Isn't there a bonus? The bonus for the middle management is enough. If it is diluted too much at one time, it will be worthless. Let's talk about it next time." Lu Feng prevaricated.

Zhu Lidong could only nod his head and agree. He knew when he opened his mouth that if Mr. Lu agreed to the impossible, Du Guoying would ask for it immediately. If Kevin knew about it, he would definitely ask for it too. In the end, It is the dilution of the chicken soup of equity incentives into a bowl of water, which is tasteless.

"About the Electric City, I have submitted three proposals before, and I briefly reviewed them all. Don't make it too big, just make it a few hundred square meters, hang a big sign outside, and the kind with a red light. To put it bluntly, it’s just a big specialty store, but we can open up some space to attract other partners to settle in, we rent the store ourselves, and the first year of free trial for partners, like Nokia, just give it a counter.”

"Planning and publicity in major cities first, everything must be complete, the main highlight is one-stop shopping for electrical appliances, cheap, affordable, and guaranteed. My idea is to start ten next year, in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Opening stores in the bustling locations of first-tier cities like Beijing is firstly to fulfill the requirements in the prospectus, and secondly is to test the waters. A dozen or so stores don’t cost much, and [-] million is enough.”

"Does this need to set up a separate department?" Wei Yandan looked at the folder and said, "I think we should set up a supermarket department affiliated to the group to specialize in operations, and leave advertising and publicity to the marketing department for unified management."

"Yes, we will operate it as a department first, and then split it up after it grows." Lu Feng nodded and agreed.

The meeting lasted the whole afternoon, and many issues within the group were discussed. There is no problem with the group's overall framework, and the direction is correct, but some departments and supervision need to be strengthened, especially for the inertia of the management. and corruption issues.

In the evening, just as the meeting was over, Lu Feng stood up and stretched his body, and said to everyone, "I'll treat you tonight, let's get together and celebrate. It's going to be August [-]th, so it's an early holiday."

"Okay!" Zhu Lidong knew that Lu Feng might spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, so he said, "Why don't we spend the Mid-Autumn Festival this year at the company?"

As soon as this proposal came out, there was silence. I was usually busy going around and had no time to spend with my family. I finally had a break and had to spend the holidays with Lu Feng. It was a bit over.

"No, no, just have dinner tonight. I'm busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Lu Feng joked, "Don't think I don't have a home now, but I have homes everywhere."

"Lu is always 'family everywhere'!" Du Guoying said with a smile from the side.

Everyone burst into laughter. Indeed, with Lu Feng's wealth, age, and appearance, it's not uncommon for Lu Feng to say "everywhere is home".

In the evening, in the box of a five-star hotel, everyone was seated. Compared with the dinners in some companies, the senior management of Jiafeng Electronics was more relaxed. There was no intrigue in those companies, and they were very calm when facing Lu Feng.

While eating and drinking, they stopped talking about work and basically talked about home. In the past two years, everyone present has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Wei Yandan is definitely the one who has changed the most .

"I have been in the company for three years. Three years ago, I never dreamed that I would become the president of such a large company. During that time, I was busy adding some knowledge and studying crazily. My husband felt that there was someone outside me. He made trouble every day, got divorced in a fit of anger, and he still spread the word at home that I was having an affair with Mr. Lu." Wei Yandan couldn't help laughing as she spoke.

Everyone present laughed constantly.

"At that time, my family didn't understand. I stayed in the office and was busy for several days. After getting divorced, I became more focused, thinking about the company's problems, and my thinking became clearer. Now that no one opposes me, he came back again. Come to me, and say that you are willing to be a housewife, clean up the house at home, and do the laundry." Wei Yandan said with emotion.

Three years, no one knows how she survived these three years. Sitting in this position requires too much sacrifice.

"Tired is really tired. Boss Lu is different from other bosses. I think he is even more tired. What's more, he is also divorced. Maybe that sentence is right. If you want to hang out in the world, you should be a bachelor." Zhu Lidong looked in front of him. The wine glass said: "Less gathering and more separation."

"There is no best of both worlds in this world. People who have time don't have money, and people who have money don't have time. Those who have money and time are still young and able to play. They are called prodigals. People have to choose a path. I know you are very tired. "Lu Feng looked at the crowd and said: "But have you thought about it, when you pass by, you don't need to be so tired all your life. There are too many poor people in this world who gritted their teeth and said, give me how much money, what do you want me to do? Either way, you must know such a person, right?"

"Hahahahaha!" Everyone laughed bitterly.

"Aren't you in this state now? I give you so much money and opportunities to build a great company. I think this is the meaning of life. Jiafeng Electronics is not my Jiafeng. We work together to build a The peak of business, this peak will also testify to our lives."

"You are envious of other people's leisure, and others are also envious of your busyness. Life is like this. You can always see others but not yourself. After all, we are the mirror of others!" Lu Feng raised the wine glass in his hand and said: " You must learn to adjust your mentality and rest when you should. With the establishment of the board of directors and the appearance of the rotating president, I believe that it will not be long before everyone has the opportunity to take off their heavy responsibilities and spend time with the family. Maybe I will too. retire."

Everyone looked at Lu Feng in unison!
"Cheers, don't think too much about the future, it's boring." Lu Feng raised his glass.

The meal was quite enjoyable. Lu Feng chatted a lot about things in Thailand, and everyone was terrified, especially the gun battle. Everyone knew that the foreign environment was not so good, and the forces behind it were intricate and inextricably linked. thread.

After ten o'clock in the evening, the dinner party ended, Lu Feng was a little bit drunk, standing in front of the hotel, the bright moon in the sky was about to be full.

"The moon is sixteen on the fifteenth day!" Lu Feng lit a cigarette, got in the car and went straight back to the company.
