Four hundred and fortieth chapters East Star's wishes
ps: (I was confused yesterday, but I actually set the wrong update time. I'm very sorry!)
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Dongxing Company's main factory held a grand Lantern Festival party. As chairman, Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng, also attended the festival with the employees. The employees extended their warmest welcome to this young boss who always saw the head but didn't see the end.
Dongxing Company also invited provincial and municipal leaders to attend the party. A deputy secretary of the provincial party committee who was in charge of the work of the provincial party committee propaganda department came to the province, and the city was attended by Deputy Mayor Miyamoto, who has always had close relationships with Lin Johnson and Dongxing Company.
Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Miyamoto Yan took turns to give speeches for about 20 minutes, thanking Dongxing Company for its contribution to the province this year. Finally, Lin Johnson thanked all the employees of Dongxing Company for their microphones and quickly handed over the microphone to the three hosts.
Zhou Xueping and two other handsome men and beautiful women from Dongxing Company were the hosts of the party. They stood in front of the stage in full dress. They only heard them say to the guests on the scene with affection:
"The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival of our Chinese nation. It is the first full moon night of the year. The Lantern Festival is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which expresses the warm wishes of countless Chinese people for a better life! To celebrate this beautiful festival, Mr. Lin Johnson, Chairman of our Dongxing Company, specially prepared a wonderful evening party for the employees who have worked hard for three years and 168 days. On behalf of the employees, we thank Chairman Lin. Here, on behalf of the employees, we swear on behalf of the employees that we will contribute our greatest strength to the development of Dongxing Company with our greatest enthusiasm!" The male host sweared passionately and vigorously.
The female host took the conversation and said loudly: "The Lantern Festival is also called the Shangyuan Festival. According to the tradition of Chinese folk, on this night when the moon is hanging high, people should light thousands of colorful lanterns to celebrate. Go out to enjoy the moon, burn the lights and set off flames, guess riddles, eat Lantern Festival together, reunite with their families, celebrate the festival together, and have fun." With her voice, colorful lanterns lit up around and above the theater, and the big red lanterns on both sides of the curtain also lit up, and a beam of light hit the riddles under the lanterns.
Amid the warm applause of the audience, the female host continued: "The night is so bright tonight. Couplets and enjoying the lanterns are not only a continuation of the Spring Festival but also a prospect for the New Year! The Lantern Festival symbolizes reunion and happiness. We hope that this beautiful wish has always been with Dongxing's footsteps, with all Dongxing employees, and with those who support the development of Dongxing Company. May this beautiful wish always accompany you and may you be healthy and happy!"
Zhou Xueping took a deep breath and faced the venue of tens of thousands of employees and family members. She stepped forward and raised the microphone halfway and said gently: "Every Lantern Festival, I would especially want to be by my parents. They raised me without regrets and raised me. The white hair and deep wrinkles between the temples have slowly decorated their faces! I really want to say to my parents. Thank you, Mom and Dad! Here, I would like to say to the parents here, thank you for your hard work, Dongxing Company thank you!"
The emotional speeches of several hosts inspired the audience, and the staff applauded desperately. Some parents who were also present also looked at their children around them with relief and smiled happily.
Dongxing Company's grand theater is like a luxury cinema, with seats in a stepped manner. There are two or three floors. Even if the scene is large, it cannot accommodate all the employees of the company. Only nearly 10,000 people came here, and more than 20,000 people in the factory did not come. Lin Johnson plans to let the remaining employees come to the party next year. Many of this group of people brought their parents, wives and children to the venue, filling the originally large and spacious theater. Of course, this was also instructed by Lin Johnson. The hard-working employees grew up with Dongxing Company for several years and contributed their own strength to the development of Dongxing Company. They should have had fun with their families during holidays. But Lin Johnson held the party and did not want to disturb them at this time, so he invited them with his family.
The performance began, and the host announced that the first program was the ballet Swan Lake excerpt. The reason why this program was put at the forefront was because Lin Johnson was worried that it would feel boring to watch Swan Lake after the audience saw the lively program, and Chen Yao really cared about the audience's feelings. Since this way, the ballet was placed first, it seemed that it would have a good effect. At least the audience on the scene felt that this kind of dance was very novel.
Because Chen Yao is too tall, she is over 1.73 meters tall. There is no such tall female ballerina in China. She is one head taller than other dancers when standing on the stage. The same slim male actor can't lift her up at all.
So this time Chen Yao was very regretful to stand aside and watch, but the girl was not idle either. She first worked hard in the backstage to put on makeup for the actors, and when the performance started, she ran to a small corner on the edge of the curtain to watch, and at the same time, she was extremely nervous to observe the reaction of the audience.
Beside Lin Johnson sat Eriksson and Decryer Pierce and other foreign managers, Vice Provincial Party Secretary and Provincial and Municipal leaders such as Miyamoto Yan sat on the other side.
As the head of McKinsey Asia, Pierce is also the first pathfinder to enter mainland China as a Western consulting company. Since the day McKinsey accepted the cooperation between Dongxing Company, he has shouldered the responsibility of developing the Chinese market. McKinsey has even given him the arduous task of successfully operating the first consulting cooperation in China and opening up McKinsey China marketing network!
Since they came to Dongxing Company to start their work, they have been getting along well with Erixon and others and the entire Dongxing Company management, because Americans like Pierce have received strong support from Johnson Lin and Erixon!
Usually, the owners of the company will deal with consulting companies to get what they want. Consulting companies have a long history of development in the West. All aspects of consulting business have become common in the West, and companies often ask them to solve problems.
But Chinese people are used to doing things themselves, and only those whom they can trust find it reliable. It is difficult for Chinese people to understand the reliability of Western intelligence!
So although McKinsey was ambitious to make plans to enter China because of receiving a large order from Dongxing Company, their development has not been successful in the past two years, and it is actually not a new order!
After Pierce reported to the headquarters, the directors of McKinsey calmed down a little. They changed their strategies and were serious about building Dongxing into a McKinsey model project in China!
The so-called corporate consulting should be understood as management support and consulting service. The most common saying is that external brains serve as consultants, provide new management concepts, and assist operators in designing new corporate structures and business processes.
The main managers of Dongxing Company include Lin Johnson and Lin Xiang, and they know nothing about corporate management, especially the operations of large and multinational enterprises!
Lin Qiangsheng also knew this, so he didn't overestimate himself and thought that he was fine. After establishing a specious corporate structure, he recruited a group of local managers without modern corporate management experience to rush them to the shelves. After encountering difficulties, he immediately sought external brains to give advice to the company. He handed over the company to these professional managers without any hesitation!
Fortunately, China has just reformed and opened up. Materials in all aspects are in short supply. Now, as long as you produce something, you can almost never worry about sales. It is precisely because of its unique product advantages and high technical content that it has found the market, so it can be smooth sailing and great success in the first one or two years before the company was established.
But soon, some problems arose within Dongxing!
This is obvious because most managers do not understand real management technology. In the development of modern enterprises, their knowledge structure and cognitive levels are seriously lacking, and they cannot keep up with the needs of rapidly developing enterprises!
Although Lin Johnson has developed layers of supervision systems within the company, Dongxing Company has also begun to have a domestic inherent phenomenon in its development. Some key positions such as finance, procurement and other supervisors are confused and greedy, while subordinates may have some shrewd and capable talents who are at the bottom of it. Lin Johnson is always helpless about these reported situations, because he found that every time he fired some such people, the replacements will still follow in the footsteps! This Chinese-style ill-treat makes him always weigh the size of the losses, which is very annoying!
Why does this happen? The reason is that the whole society lacks integrity. Entrepreneurs must constantly weigh the two factors of "ability" and "trust". Therefore, Western enterprises have a high degree of professionalism. Most Chinese enterprises are based on the "three fates". The "three fates" are blood, popularity, and geographical conditions.
This is very important, involving the design of the organizational structure and incentive and constraint mechanism of the enterprise.
Lin Johnson found McKinsey. Since the management of Dongxing Company has become a mess and it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad people, it is better to break this casserole. Invite a third party to conduct serious evaluation and diagnosis of the company. Of course, McKinsey is a Western company with a good tradition of professional managers, and they do not understand the so-called three fates in China.
But that doesn't matter. Lin Johnson only needs their management experience, correct corporate structure design and provide brainpower. Discover problems and solve problems. The problems cannot be solved!
Dongxing Company has just been established for a few years, and Lin Qiangsheng has not yet reached the point where he can't leave anyone. The previous annoyance is mostly because of the rapid development of the company and changes in management will lead to a decline in product quality!
Promote conscientious employees, praise employees who work hard and honestly, and reward outstanding employees. However, no matter how high the position they are, they must be resolutely fired!
McKinsey spent three months to comprehensively evaluate Dongxing Company, and then they entered every link of the company. These professional managers made some forms to turn every link of the company into a digital system.
Dongxing Company is a manufacturing enterprise, so the accuracy of a large number of reports in the business operation is crucial. When to complete the scheduled products, the price cost of market raw materials, transportation cost, production cost and final enterprise marketing cost can all be made into digital reports to achieve the company's flat management. Technical standards such as quantitative performance appraisal are exactly what McKinsey has to do.
McKinsey also gave Lin Johnson a lot of suggestions on the company's structural design. The corporate business philosophy and management ideas conveyed during the design process correctly improved the perfection of Dongxing Company's corporate system!
In addition, McKinsey also recommended many international talents to Johnson Lin, whose "qualifications" or brand influence in the world's consulting industry and large enterprises is very huge.
McKinsey, established in 1926, has a global resource and connection system. Dongxing Company can learn about resources and talents from other regions of the world through it, and find what you want and what you want!
Consulting companies are a bit like an open talent platform. Many managers will work in the consulting companies for a while after working in the company for a period of time, and then enter the company at a higher level.
There are many senior executives in large European and American companies, investment banks, and funds, who have experienced consulting experiences. There are many CFOs from McKinsey, and their networks have been established in this way. Therefore, McKinsey has to mobilize market information from countries around the world very quickly, helping companies establish international cooperative relations, arrange equity transactions, and open up financing channels.
Dongxing Company's consulting fee of $30 million actually has four benefits. First, it has obtained a new business philosophy; second, it has obtained professional talents from all aspects and enriched it in all aspects of Dongxing Company; third, it has gained brand effect and saved advertising and public relations expenses; fourth, Dongxing Company has obtained a channel from McKinsey to understand markets in various regions of the world!
