Mediterranean hegemon

ps: There is a mistake, which is being revised

The calendar of 1926 turned over quickly. Although the amount of losses for the whole year had been estimated, Contini still felt a little surprised when he saw the preliminary report on January 27. The bright figures on it showed that the loss amount for the whole year last year reached 1.23 billion lire, equivalent to more than 60 million US dollars, which is almost one-third of Italy's annual military expenditure and slightly higher than Germany's annual military expenditure of 45%. This is because Italy carried out the Caracciolo class and other armaments updates under Contini's deception, while Germany recruited 25,000 Wehrmacht and suppressed the Munich operation.

According to the rules set by the United Group, the annual work meeting is held for three days from January 29 to 31 every year to deploy a new round of annual goals and work plans. Two months before that, each sector is responsible for submitting the strategic planning and annual goals of its affiliated enterprises to the President's Office for review and questioning.

This method was brought over by Contini from later generations. Although the rise of Internet+ has long broken the tradition of strategic planning and questioning, and the environmental changes in three months are enough to turn the entire plan into a pile of waste paper, in traditional enterprises, especially in the 1920s, this approach is quite scientific and advanced. No one in the entire Italian enterprise does this except the United Group.

In strategic planning, each sub-section should design and comprehensively consider the strategic introduction and ideas proposed by the President's Office, which are actually mainly Contini's ideas, and put forward various resource allocation requirements: funds, credit, equipment, personnel, technology, etc. Then, according to the development concepts and specific plans proposed by each section, the strategic planning of the Group President's Office can be summarized and sublimated, and then it will become something displayed in the United House. This is for the outside world to see, which is relatively abstract and vague, and there will be no specific numbers.

Internally, it is a layer-by-layer dissemination and implementation. The first level is that Contini himself disseminates to 20-22 management personnel (mainly the heads of the sectors), and occasionally expands to the general manager level of key subsidiaries; the second level is that the heads of the sectors disseminate the overall strategic concept of the group and the future development ideas of the sector to the management of the subsidiaries; the third level is that the management of the subsidiaries disseminate to the middle and grassroots managers; especially large enterprises have a fourth level, that is, the heads of workshops or departments convey to grassroots employees, and small-scale enterprises just hold annual work meetings together to convey them.

In this era, corporate management is still just a concept. More business tycoons rely on experience, instinct, professional ethics and habits to operate downwards. There are almost no people who play like United Group. But they have to admit that through this system of reporting at all levels and dissemination and implementation at all levels, Contini has firmly grasped the huge United Group in his hands without getting involved in specific daily affairs.

In order to ensure smooth implementation of government orders, he set up a large secretarial team, so that the President's Office can be responsible for everything; he also set up a management meeting system, which was held every two months to continuously strengthen the recognition of goals; in order to prevent each sub-section from fighting on its own and only being responsible for Contini without caring about other businesses, he also set up a director exchange meeting, which was held once a month. Each time, two rotating directors were responsible for coordinating and deciding parallel issues that involved each other but crossed sections, and then the President's Office supervised the issues and sorted out the meeting records.

Working in the President's Office has great power, high status, and great responsibilities. It has high requirements for people. Those who can work in it are all outstanding graduates from top Italian universities. Generally, they can't get such opportunities in other companies.

Contini's selection criteria are very simple: first, they must be energetic. College graduates in their 20s are at the age when they are full of energy and can do business. If they are slack and only know how to enjoy themselves, no matter how capable they are, they will be useless; second, they must be loyal and have the same ideas. All the people in the President's Office are backbones who support and believe in the Three Banners Theory and are die-hards of the Youth League. If they cannot maintain consistency in politics and values, they will not be able to get in at all; third, they must have a full and comprehensive calculation spirit and communication and coordination skills. Calculation is to strengthen their digital management ability, and communication and coordination is to highlight their ability to resolve disputes and problems.

Everyone knows that daily affairs can be handled at the level of sector directors. When they encounter matters that they cannot decide, they will go to Antonio or Contini. However, this does not mean that the president knows nothing about the numbers of the subordinate companies. Contini himself is a completely different face when he goes to the grassroots for research and investigation. He never talks about theories and beliefs, but only a long list of numbers. He believed that if a middle or senior manager could not even know the numbers of the business he was responsible for, it meant that his management was extensive and chaotic. From time to time, there were news reports that a senior manager was fired because he could not answer questions.

So the grassroots are now afraid of the president's visit. Once the president comes, it is impossible not to lose a few layers of skin, but they also long for the president to come. As long as Contini likes someone, who can answer fluently in the survey and has a clear vision of the future, he will not hesitate to give him important positions. Goering's fiancée Betty was quickly promoted and appointed under such circumstances. When she was the office director of the newspaper, she could manage all the work in an orderly manner, including distribution, internal and external coordination, and was responsible for administrative affairs

Calculation is to strengthen their numerical management ability, and communication and coordination is to highlight their ability to resolve disputes and problems.

Everyone knows that routine affairs can be handled by the level of the section director. Antonio or Contini will be asked to handle matters that they cannot decide. However, this does not mean that the president knows nothing about the numbers of the subordinate companies. Contini himself is a completely different person when he goes to the grassroots to conduct research and investigation. He never talks about theories and beliefs, but only a long list of numbers. He believes that if a middle or senior manager cannot even know the numbers of the business he is responsible for, it means that his management is extensive and chaotic. From time to time, there are news reports that a senior manager was fired because he could not answer questions.

So the grassroots are now very afraid of the president coming to investigate. As long as the president comes, it is impossible not to lose a few layers of skin, but they also miss the president day and night. As long as Contini likes the right person, he will not hesitate to use him. Goering's fiancée Betty was quickly promoted and appointed under such circumstances. When she was the office director of the newspaper, she could manage all the work in an orderly manner, including distribution, internal and external coordination, and was responsible for administrative affairs.
