Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 423: Jiamei's Ambitions

Feng Yiping never saw Jiamei as a rival in his heart, and vice versa. Jiamei was backed by the provincial commercial company, which was also one of the leading state-owned commercial companies in the province, and it had never really taken Jiamei seriously.

Even though Jia Mei has now successfully opened so many branches, for the people at Jia Mei, they always think that as long as they are willing, they can easily catch up with and surpass it by taking big strides forward.

As someone who has been there, Feng Yiping knows exactly what they are thinking. Apart from areas where the state has expressly forbidden private capital to enter, many state-owned enterprises in other industries initially thought the same way, and they also looked at private enterprises that had no policies, no capital, no people, no technology, and could not get loans in the same way.

But in the end, many of these big brothers have been stuck with these ideas and views, and have been left with no choice but to become yesterday's news. The end result is that they either restructure, sell up or go bankrupt completely.

On the contrary, the private enterprises that they previously looked down upon from the bottom of their hearts are flourishing in the spring breeze.

The provincial capital, the headquarters of Jiamei.

He Zhitao, the new general manager of Jiamai, who took office only after the New Year, is furious in the meeting room. Just like Jin Lingshi, the various tasks he has arranged are never carried out in a timely manner.

'I don't care what difficulties you have. In short, by the end of next month, without affecting daily operations, the renovations of 20 branches must be completed. I'm putting this out there: if this goal is not met, I will hold the heads of the relevant departments responsible one by one.

In addition, the staff of these 20 stores must also be trained by the new managers who have joined our company. Those who fail will be dismissed, no matter who you are.

You can refuse to obey, and you can go to the head office to find someone, but you can see for yourself whether anyone at the head office will help you out.'

Although in just over a year, since its establishment, Jiamei has already had three general managers, the middle management that caused Jinling so much trouble at the beginning has remained in place.

However, the situation has indeed changed. With the rapid development of Jiamei, the leaders of the head office are becoming less and less pleased with Jiamei, which has always been based in the provincial capital and has not seen much progress.

The new general manager is the former deputy general manager of the marketing department of the head office. Although he is under 30 years old, his qualifications are no worse than those of the old hands like Director Sun. He has been working in the head office for a long time, and their duplicity this time has really annoyed He Zhi Tao.

At the same time, Director Sun and the others were also aware that the leaders at the head office really did not look favourably on them. You can say that the first general manager had the wrong approach to work, and you can say that the second one was inexperienced and ineffective, but this third one was an outstanding cadre at the head office, so what else is there to say?

'General Manager He, you are still awesome. These old hands in the company, when you get angry, they dare not say a word and do everything obediently.' The secretary complimented with He Zhitao's bag in her hands.

He Zhitao smiled reservedly and didn't say a word.

He had come to this post with the authority of the emperor's sword. The old fogeys had probably long since realised the strength of support he had from the head office. Their initial negativity and lack of cooperation was just inertia and laziness. As long as he showed them the bottom line, wouldn't they all do as they were told?

'What's even more impressive is that you've not only brought in some capable helpers from Youjia, but also improved the sales of the stores you've revamped according to your ideas,' the secretary continued.

'And there's nothing Youjia can do about it. If this continues, once all our stores have been renovated, we'll definitely be able to overtake Youjia in the provincial capital very soon.'

He Zhitao was very pleased with this flattery, 'Haha, this is just the first step.'

'Yes, under your leadership, General Manager He, we at Jiamy will definitely be able to overtake Youjia all over the country very soon.'

He Zhi Tao is still working in the original general manager's office. The location has not changed, but the layout has changed dramatically. It is no longer the fashionable and capable style of the Jinling period, but is now full of an official air. There are more hardcover tomes in the bookcase. On the right side of the desk, there is a table flag, with not only the national flag, but also the party flag.

After settling down in the office, the secretary served him some tea and He Zhitiao handed him a business card. 'This is the business card of the boss of a decoration company. Their company is highly professional, they have a short construction period and a reasonable price. You arrange it.'

The secretary took the card with understanding hands, 'Yes, the decoration of the storefront, handing it over to such a company, we are also at ease, I will arrange it right away.'

The secretary is a trusted subordinate brought down by He Zhitao, and understands the temperament of his leader. While carefully putting the business card away, he can't help but wonder if the reason for this major move to abolish the original decoration plan, apart from other reasons, is also because only in this way can there be another decoration project? By the way, was this also the reason why Mr. He was angry just now? If you don't move next, the decoration company won't be able to get in.

It's like the road in front of the house, which is repaired every few years. I heard that the main reason is that the municipal council has changed leaders.

Although the owners of the office have changed, they have a common habit. He Zhitao also likes to look at the scenery in front of the window.

After the secretary left, he stood in front of the window with his arms folded, complacently looking at the bustling provincial capital and the mighty Yangtze River not far away. He was full of ambition, thinking that what was a small private enterprise?

He had been very reluctant to be transferred from the lucrative department of the head office to Jiamei, feeling somewhat like being exiled, because everyone in the company knew that Jiamei was a company with very poor efficiency.

But after being forced to understand it, he discovered that this was a market where he could make a big difference. Director Jin's daughter, who had studied abroad, had vision, to say the least.

He was convinced that with this platform and his own abilities, given time, he could build a company that was even bigger than the head office. At that time, haha, Jiamei should be able to lead the head office in turn.

What he didn't know was that just as he was full of pride and lofty sentiments, Jin Ling had arrived in the provincial capital with Feng Yiping as the lead and the response plan they had perfected together.

Gao Zhiyi came to pick him up at the airport. As soon as they got in the car, he handed Jin Ling a folder, saying, 'This is the file on He Zhi Tao.'

Jin Ling looked at it and saw that the person in question was under 30 years old. It was precisely because he had a strong style when in charge of the marketing department of a shopping mall that he suited the appetite of a leader at the head office, so at a young age, he was selected to work at the provincial headquarters.

'No wonder he dares to be so reckless and unconcerned. It turns out that this has always been his character,' said Jin Ling after reading the information.

However, Feng Yiping had learned from his experience with Gao Heng. With some people, you have to get them to submit once and for all, so that they don't keep causing trouble again and again. So this time, he was well prepared.

Not long after he arrived at the company, all the managers and executives at the managerial level, including Mei Yiliang, except for Lao Cai who was in Shenzhen, attended a meeting chaired by Jin Ling.

This meeting was very serious and unlike all previous meetings, there was no discussion of achievements at all, only problems.

Jin Ling first conveyed Feng Yiping's reflections, asking everyone to reflect on them. 'It is undeniable that there have been problems in our work, and although these are all problems in development, I hope everyone will pay attention to them. We must not ignore or underestimate these problems just because we have achieved some results.

To a certain extent, our work style has also changed from being thorough and meticulous to being somewhat sloppy. Even many of the tasks that have been institutionalised have not been implemented. For a fast-growing group company like ours, this is a major hidden danger.

The convenience store has already had problems, but will our decoration company, express hotel and software company have similar problems next? I guess they probably will. So what should we do? The convenience store is fine, as we have a rich talent pool, but do the other companies have the same conditions?

So I hope that after the meeting, everyone can reflect on their work and nip any bad trends in the bud. The relevant functional departments of the group should also formulate corresponding supervision and assessment plans.'

...

When the meeting ended, everyone was not as happy as usual. Everyone was a bit heavy, but Mei Yiliang was still thinking about the matter of Jiamei and asked a question.

'Then I will add that because the administrative department responsible for this work is still being set up, this time it will be the group office that is responsible for implementation. It will be done immediately.'
