The meeting was very efficient. It took Li Ruobai half an hour to assign tasks to nearly a thousand people present. The core of the mission is one: layoffs. Specifically, it is divided into two parts. One is to lay off those group and middle-level managers who are not present first and then screen them. If there is a real reason, they will be appointed separately. If there is no reason not to come and there is no sufficient reason, they will be fired on the spot. The second is to fire all workers who go on strike outside.
Li Ruobai deliberately left a hole, that is, Devry's Comet will restart recruitment in the future. Many people were relieved to hear the news. The headquarters of Comet Devre is a small city, where either company employees or their families live, and there are basically no outsiders. If the headquarters is recruiting, aren’t these the same people coming and going?
Li Ruobai looked at their expressions and dismissed the meeting without saying anything. The two beauties, Jill and Yu Na, each led a team of elite soldiers and began to take over various departments. Their movements were not very fast, but they were not slow either. The words have been released a long time ago. If anyone wants to do anything during this period, they will spend the rest of their lives in prison.
All departments are very cooperative. Not only are they cooperative, but they are also very active and strive to perform well in front of the new boss. It was late at night, but all the buildings in the company headquarters were brightly lit, and almost no one was off work. The news has spread long ago that those who participated in the strike may be fired on the spot, so those lucky people who still have jobs are working hard overtime. We are all ordinary people. After the bloodshed from above, we still have to rely on this salary to support our families in Hukou. The job at Devere's Comet is quite good. It has a lot of money but little to do. Once it is lost, it will be really hard to let go. After all, everyone is working. Work is not for salary, but for feelings?
Moreover, if the new major shareholder and the board of directors do not deal with each other, it will be a fairy fight between rich people. Why do they, little people, worry about the rich people?
At this time, Old Jim was looking at the brightly lit headquarters in the distance, silent. A close confidant next to him said angrily: "A bunch of white-eyed wolves! We agreed to resign together, but ended up running to serve the new master one by one!"
That look of resentment was like gnashing of teeth.
Old Jim's face was gloomy, but not angry, and he silently looked at the brightly lit world that once belonged to him.
At this time, the confidant pointed the finger at the assistant again, and said sarcastically: "You handled the handover very quickly. Did you fall in love with this little girl? Are you so cooperative?"
The assistant's face darkened, and he pushed back unceremoniously: "Everything I do is based on evidence, and I just recited all the laws! You have been the Minister of Justice for 20 years, can you recite three complete laws? ?”
"Stop arguing!" Old Jim interrupted the two of them a little irritably, and then sighed again.
The assistant said cautiously: "Maybe it's not all bad. The company's stock price is rising steadily and is almost close to its high point."
The confidant snorted and said, "We left and the stock price rose. What's there to celebrate? Isn't this a slap in our face?"
The assistant ignored him and said to Old Jim: "The profits from those positions we held are very considerable, and the shareholders who are on our side will also be grateful to us."
Old Jim took the personal terminal, looked at the long string of numbers carefully, and said after a moment: "Forget it, I'm old and can't do it long ago. It would be nice to have a few billion."
"It will be 10 billion soon," the assistant said.
The confidants around him were silent at this moment. They looked at each other and thought this was good. They will also get a share of the profit, although it's not much, but if the profit really exceeds 10 billion, they can get a few hundred million. For a working person, this is a wealth that is unimaginable in a lifetime.
"That's it, let's go." Old Jim withdrew his gaze.
"Boss, do you want to take profits now?"
Old Jim hesitated and said, "Let's take a look first."
The news of the change of ownership of Comet de Frei has just spread, and the stock price has risen to such a high. When the new protagonist announces his plan, it may reach new highs.
Now Li Ruobai was sitting in his new office, finally sorting out the structure and personnel composition of Comet Devre. There are hundreds of large and small companies in Devre's Comet with hundreds of thousands of employees. It only took Li Ruobai half a night to basically figure it out. It can be described as extremely fast.
Understanding is only the first step. The second step is to reorganize and lay off employees. This is the tough battle. Li Ruobai pulled out all the resumes of the company's middle managers and started reading them one by one. Just get rid of these middle layers and leave the rest to them.
This step is much slower. By the time I finish reading it all, it will be daybreak.
Li Ruobai has a general problem. Basically, about 70% of the staff are redundant and need to be eliminated or replaced. The same proportion of departments are also useless. The entire group has 8 supply chain business groups alone! These were gradually formed over a long period of time. Basically, someone got the favor of Old Jim at a certain time, and then was authorized to establish a separate department. However, as a company with a long history, Comet Devre's internal structure has long been beyond perfection. Newcomers can only find ways to get a share of the existing business. As a result, a large number of departments with overlapping functions emerged.
It has to be said that the Langtao-class battleship is indeed a very outstanding design, so much so that the company can rest on its 100-year capital.
The sky had just brightened when Li Ruobai received a message from Chu Jungui. Chu Jungui wants to establish 3 new departments and upgrade the funding and level of 4 research institutes, including Dommel Design Institute. Seeing this new plan, Li Ruobai immediately saw that it was to prepare for the construction of a starship.
In the morning, investors finally waited for the latest news about Comet Devre, and they quickly interpreted the inner meaning of the establishment of additional institutions and upgrading research institutions: Comet Devre was going to return to the capital ship market!
Suddenly, the market's enthusiasm for Comet de Frey was fully ignited, and the stock price continued to rise. In the frenzied mood, almost every piece of news released by Comet de Frei will cause violent fluctuations in the stock price. Regardless of good news or bad news, the stock price always goes up.
Just like that, in the next week, Comet de Frei announced more than a dozen news a day. Almost the entire company was completely transformed. A lot of departments were laid off, tens of thousands of redundant employees were eliminated, and at the same time, a large number of employees were eliminated. New departments were established. Among these dazzling operations, the main line is very clear. Devry's Comet is transforming into an efficient company.
These changes naturally made investors happy, and the stock price also bloomed all the way. Among them, apart from Chu Jungui, perhaps only Li Ruobai understood the purpose of doing this: it is easy to dismantle and sell.
