Chapter 439 The Boss’s Thoughts

Zheng Yue also noticed the comments from netizens, so she couldn't help but ask Xu Wen.

"Brother Xu, why do I see that Mr. Zhao and Sister Sun Ya have become much more aloof since they came to the company? Are they..."

Zheng Yue didn't finish her words, but Xu Wen already understood what she meant.

"Are you trying to say that they are being lenient and looking down on these employees?"

Zheng Yue nodded, indicating that this was what she meant.

In fact, Zheng Yue has always had a good impression of Zhao Xuan and the other girls.

During the time she spent with them day and night, Zheng Yue didn't feel that they were arrogant or anything like that.

Zheng Yue also felt that Zhao Xuan and the others were not such people, but this was the feeling they expressed at this moment.

That's why Zheng Yue asked this question.

Xu Wen asked in return: "Why should we treat employees well? Everyone has a different management style, just like the different styles of generals leading troops to war in ancient times. This is their management style."

Zheng Yue was dumbfounded when she heard Xu Wen say this. She stood there for a while and didn't react for a long time.

Is this a question of management style?

As if knowing that Zheng Yue didn't understand what he meant, Xu Wen continued to explain: "During the Han Dynasty, there was a famous general named Huo Qing. Do you know this?"

Zheng Yue nodded to show that she knew.

Although Zheng Yue is a girl, she still knows a thing or two about famous generals in history.

But she didn't understand why Xu Wen suddenly mentioned Huo Qing.

Xu Wen continued, "During the Han Dynasty, Huo Qing was famous for loving his soldiers like his own sons. Many people thought that it was because he loved his soldiers like his own sons that when he was commanding a battle, his soldiers fought to the death and won victory after victory. Do you think they are right?"

Zheng Yue tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I think what they said is quite right. After all, unity is what every general should do. Only when the leaders are united can many things be accomplished, and when we encounter many emergencies on the battlefield, we can respond and deal with them in a timely manner."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "If you think so, then you are being too one-sided."

"It's not wrong for the superiors and subordinates to be united, but there are more ways to be united than just loving the soldiers like sons. Does Huo Qubing know this?"

Zheng Yue nodded repeatedly, her eyes lighting up.

"Of course I know, the famous Champion Marquis, the first person to seal the Wolf's Lair!"

Xu Wen was happy. He didn't expect that Zheng Yue was still a little fan of Huo Qubing.

But since Zheng Yue knows Huo Qubing, it will be easy to deal with.

Xu Wen went on to say: "Huo Qubing and his uncle Wei Qing had completely different modes of leading troops."

"Huo Qing likes to eat and sleep with the soldiers. He always sets strict standards for himself and feels that he is no different from other ordinary soldiers."

"But Huo Qubing didn't think so. Even when he went out to fight, he had to bring a cook to cook for him."

"Huo Qing once talked to Huo Qubing about this issue, saying that there would be problems if he led the troops like this, and that a general should not be arrogant. But Huo Qubing retorted that a general only needed to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments and win battles, and should not worry about anything else. Who do you think is right and who is wrong?" Xu Wen's question stumped Zheng Yue.

The netizens in the live broadcast room also suddenly realized what was going on.

"I understand what Xu Gou meant. He meant that as long as it can help the company make money, it's okay even if you don't treat employees as human beings, right? I didn't expect Xu Gou to think this way. I'm so disappointed!"

"Are you sure this is what Xu Gou wanted to express? Why do I feel like you misunderstood?"

"He just emphasized two points, one is winning battles, and the other is distinguishing rewards and punishments clearly, but you didn't listen at all. To be honest, if I had a leader like that, it wouldn't matter if he didn't treat me as a human being, as long as I could make money."

"Indeed, I have been a manager for so many years and have experienced ups and downs in the workplace for so many years. I have to say that what Xu Gou said is indeed right. This seemingly simple sentence actually points out the two most important points."

What are the two most important points in war?
First, achieve victory.

No matter what kind of war it is, no matter what kind of battle it is, the ultimate goal must be victory.

Using any means necessary to achieve one's goal may be a derogatory description when applied to an individual, but when applied to a fighting party, it is definitely a compliment.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as you win, who cares what means you use to achieve victory?

After achieving victory, the second more important thing comes into play, which is clear rewards and punishments.

Why do people follow you to conquer the world and why are they willing to risk their lives for you?
Isn't it just that I hope that everything I do will be rewarded?

Who would be willing to do these things for you if there is no reward?
People are not worried about the shortage of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

If you can clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, then the people below you will naturally have no complaints.

So don’t underestimate Xu Wen’s two short sentences, because they have already said the most crucial part.

But even so, Zheng Yue still couldn't understand.

"Being nice to your employees won't affect the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, right? I always feel that what Mr. Zhao and the others are doing is not very good. Will it give others some kind of handle?"

Hearing Zheng Yue say this, Xu Wen smiled slightly.

"So this is the difference between you and Mr. Zhao and the others. Do you know the four words 'differentiation between relatives and strangers'?"

"Think about it carefully. When you don't know someone well, you will be more polite to him and take his words more seriously. You won't joke with him casually, and you won't take his words lightly."

"Why is that? Actually, the reason is very simple. It's because you don't know him. You are not familiar with him, so you don't know where his bottom line is, and you don't know how he will react to what you do."

"So do you still think it's a good thing for leaders and subordinates to have a close relationship?"

As soon as Xu Wen said this, many netizens who were leaders in the live broadcast room instantly expressed their agreement.

"That's right. I had such a good relationship with my subordinate before that he started to take advantage of me. I was so angry."

"From experience, never be friends with your subordinates. The relationship between boss and employee should be pure, because you are here to make money."

"Xu Gou may not look like a human being, but everything he says makes sense. Can we listen to it for free?"
