Zhang Chaoyue succinctly explained the real purpose of the sales competition between the three subsidiaries at the board meeting.
Only then did the other directors, except the three Dongfang brothers, understand the old chairman's good intentions.
Everyone knows that the old chairman is seriously ill and does not have much energy to manage the group company. The weekly routine inspection is just a show, more like a formality.
In fact, it is general manager Gao Weibang who actually manages the group company now.
But the final decision-making power is still in the hands of the old chairman.
At present, the existence of the old chairman has almost only the symbolic meaning of the group company.
In the past two years, the group company has not taken any new reform measures. These directors have already had opinions on the old chairman.
For several years, the domestic market has been sluggish, overseas markets have been turbulent, and shipyard production has been very unstable.
Either the work is insufficient or the goods cannot be supplied in time, which has greatly affected the group company's credibility with customers.
It is against this background that three subsidiaries were established to increase sales efforts and increase service information collection.
They are respectively in charge of the three Dongfang brothers.
When the three subsidiaries were established, the old chairman was seriously ill and had no time to take care of the work at the headquarters.
At that time, some directors had already proposed changing the chairman.
Dongrun Shipbuilding Group is a family business, and the Dongfang family has absolute controlling rights. If Dongfang Shenglong doesn't want to retire, no matter how much trouble those directors make, they won't be able to influence his decision.
In order to appease the people, Dongfang Shenglong once promised them that he would definitely make arrangements for his successor during his lifetime.
These directors were relieved.
In fact, the three Dongfang brothers have already been holding back their strength to compete openly and covertly.
They all want to perform well in front of their father.
As the eldest brother, Dongfang Xiangqi takes this matter very seriously, so much so that he doesn't even talk about love and concentrates on running his own Xinghai Company.
It wasn't until he saw Lin Weiya appearing in front of him that his love brain finally opened up, and that was all.
Dongfang Xiangrui and Dongfang Xiangqi have the same thoughts. The eldest brother does not want to get married. As the second child, he does not want to get married earlier than his eldest brother, but there is never a shortage of women around him.
As for the old pimple Dongfang Xianglin, he has never dreamed of the position of chairman.
However, there are eldest and second brothers in front of him, and the company they own is more likely to produce results than his own, and it is easier for him to appear outstanding in front of his old father.
On this point, he was like a mirror in his mind.
He obviously couldn't compete with his eldest and second brothers.
The eldest brother has skills and abilities, but he is not as scheming as the second brother. On the surface, his eldest brother's company's performance was better, but he felt that his eldest brother was not a real competitor.
The real opponent is the second brother.
Second Brother's city is relatively deep, and the essence of many things is not what is visible on the surface, and most people cannot guess it.
This is exactly what is so scary about the second brother.
He must always be on guard against his second brother.
This is also the reason why he sent Lin Weiya to his second brother.
But the second brother seemed to have figured out his thoughts, so he transferred Lin Weiya to the eldest brother's company.
He once felt that he had done something extremely stupid, but in fact Lin Weiya also provided him with a lot of valuable information.
This information is of great help to his business.
Until now, he felt that he had made the right move.
The rules of the three-subsidiary competition are simple.
That is to see which company has the highest sales performance as of the end of October.
This thing cannot be faked, just look at the financial statements of the head office.
There are staff members who distribute financial statements to each director.
The sales performance of the three subsidiaries is ranked as follows.
Xinghai Company 9.8 billion yuan.
Wanghai Company 9.5 billion yuan.
Fahai Company 9.3 billion yuan.
The other directors were not surprised at all when they saw the report. Xinghai Company's sales performance has always been among the best, as early as they expected.
It can be said that Dongfang Cheung Kei became the chairman of the board of directors.
But Dongfang Xiangqi broke into a cold sweat.
He asked the financial director of the group company last night.
The financial director only told him that Xinghai Company currently ranked first, but did not tell him the total amount, saying that the chairman asked for confidentiality.
He also asked the financial director of Xinghai Company and the total amount should be 10.3 billion.
There are discrepancies here.
He wanted to ask why.
Seeing his father's serious face and the calm faces of his second and third brothers, he did not speak rashly.
My father once said that those with sales of less than 10 billion are not qualified to serve as the new chairman.
According to the data on the report, 9.8 billion cannot meet the father's standards.
His heart felt a little cold.
He was unwilling to give in and didn't know why there was a difference of 500 million in this report.
At this point, it would be pointless to argue with his father.
He knows his father's temper. The data he gets on the board of directors is the real data. Even if it is wrong, it will become true.
Dongfang Xiangrui didn't react abnormally when he saw the report. He glanced at his eldest brother and third brother, lowered his eyelids, and continued reading the report.
Dongfang Xianglin curled his lips, seemed to make a face, and immediately calmed down. He didn't speak out what he thought like before, he was calmer than before.
One of the directors spoke.
"The rankings have been determined. According to the rules of the competition, the eldest son will serve as the new chairman."
Someone immediately echoed.
Dongfang Shenglong coughed twice.
"Just now, when Lawyer Zhang read out the rules of the competition, he missed a restriction. Anyone whose sales performance is less than 10 billion is not qualified to serve as the new chairman. According to the performance report, the three brothers are not qualified."
When Lawyer Zhang read out the rules of the competition just now, he did not mention this one.
Except for the three Dongfang brothers, the other directors were unaware of this restriction.
Several directors were deeply surprised, and some people were already whispering.
Soon someone asked the old chairman why such a restriction was added?
Dongfang Shenglong was straightforward.
"This is the threshold I set. If you don't even have the ability to cross the threshold, what qualifications do you have to serve as the new chairman?"
Dongfang Shenglong's tone was firm, and this sentence seemed to be the final conclusion.
None of the three Dongfang brothers is qualified to serve as the new chairman.
The attention was on his words. No one noticed that this time he didn't cough or cover his mouth with a white handkerchief.
Dongfang Xiangqi was like cold water poured on his head, which made his heart feel cold.
He wanted to plead his case and ask the finance department to check the report to see what went wrong and why it was inconsistent with Xinghai Company's report.
After thinking about it, my father must have carefully reviewed this report, and he certainly did not review it alone. The head office's finance department is extremely strict, and the chance of making mistakes is very small. It can be said that no mistakes have ever been made.
If he questions the group company's reports at the board meeting, he is obviously going against his father and does not believe him.
This will not only leave a very bad impression on the father, but also make other directors feel that they disrespect their father and the old chairman.
Even if you are ultimately proven right, the impact will be irreversible.
It not only affects his father's authority, but also makes others think that he is a carefree person, which is very detrimental to the future management of the group company.
Dongfang Xiangqi felt very entangled, conflicted, and even a little irritable.
But this opportunity is extremely precious. If you miss it, what will happen next will be even more unpredictable.
Because he saw that the second brother's sales performance was not much different from his, and even the third brother's sales were beyond his expectation.
He was struggling secretly when Gao Weibang spoke.
"What does the chairman mean that this competition is over? Do you have any advice on the alternative candidate for the new chairman?"
Everyone can hear what Mr. Gao said.
It seems that it is completely unnecessary for the old chairman to do this. A competition was launched with great fanfare and the rankings were obtained, but no one was qualified to serve as the new chairman.
So what’s the point of this competition?
Since the performance of the game is not the basis, the old chairman should have a suitable candidate in mind. We can't wait until he dies and let the three Dongfang brothers fight to the death.
I just didn't say it so directly.
Other directors also wanted to know what Dongfang Shenglong was thinking, and they all looked at the old chairman.
Dongfang Shenglong glanced at everyone, and finally, his eyes fell on his three sons.
He did not directly answer Mr. Gao's words.
"What do you three have to say?"
When his father asked, Dongfang Xiangqi didn't even raise his head. He didn't dare to look at his father, feeling that he had failed his father.
If my performance were bigger, this situation would definitely not happen.
It's useless to dwell on this matter now.
If the father does not change his mind, any reason is pale.
"Follow your father's arrangements."
Dongfang Cheung Kei expressed its stance.
Dongfang Xiangrui cleared his throat and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I just want to ask the chairman, if the sales business of the group company is promoted by the efforts of the people of the subsidiary, does such an order have a share of the subsidiary's performance? If so, what is the proportion?"
Dongfang Xiangrui's words are not out of thin air.
This situation has also occurred during past performance appraisals. Depending on the size of the contribution, the subsidiary company will share 20% to 30% of its performance, and use this as the base to cash in the head office rewards.
This rule is well known, but rarely used.
He brought it up at the board meeting today, and he must have something to say.
The directors heard the implication, lowered their heads one after another, and looked at the statements again.
Just now, everyone focused on the performance of the three subsidiaries and ignored the sales of the head office.
Although three subsidiaries have been established, the head office also has a sales department, and the sales force is quite large.
The headquarters did not participate in the competition. The report showed that sales reached 12.2 billion.
Much higher than the three subsidiaries.
Dongfang Xianglin, who was sitting next to Dongfang Xiangrui, was shocked when his second brother asked.
Then he said:
"I also want to know what the second brother asked."
Dongfang Shenglong had no expression on his face and nodded slowly.
"According to convention, subsidiaries are equivalent to making 20% to 30% of the contribution, provided that sufficient evidence is provided. If you have evidence, it will be considered your performance."
Dongfang Xiangqi's mental arithmetic was completely cold.
He knew that his second brother was a wealthy man and would never say anything nonsense at the board meeting. Now that he had said it, he would definitely be able to provide evidence.
And his father's words were considered as his approval.
Dongfang Xiangqi never dreamed that his second brother would work hard in the sales department of the group company.
In terms of scheming, he really can't compare to his second brother!
