Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 584 Decentralization and Straight Girls

The personal trainer Wen Wan hired didn't have a muscular body.

She paid more attention to professionalism and specially selected a talent who was studying kinesiology in a sports university.

Therefore, when formulating a fitness plan, Luo Yang was not required to use any equipment. Instead, he was arranged to do daily morning jogging, swimming and other exercises.

"By the year after next at the latest, the group will have its own headquarters building. By then, we must have a fitness area to make it convenient for the group's employees to exercise regularly."

When leaving Hurricane Fitness Club, Luo Yang specifically said to Wen Wan: "Remember to remind me when the time comes."

"We want to buy the headquarters building?"

Wen Wan has been in Lingshi Palace Group for quite some time and has already gained a preliminary understanding of the entire group.

At present, the core industry is drones, but the two milk tea brands under Luo Sheng Tang are the ones that really make money.

Want to buy a headquarters building within two years
You have to know that this is Shanghai, where every inch of land is valuable. Even an office building that is not very large would be worth at least several billion yuan. Even if most of the funds can be supported by loans, you still have to pay out at least tens of billions, right?

Such a large amount of cash flow is enough to empty a medium-sized listed company.

"Well, we already have a preliminary goal."

Luo Yang stood by the car door and subconsciously glanced towards the intersection of Xuhui and Minhang. "Once the time is right, the acquisition will be initiated, and you will have the opportunity to participate in the acquisition negotiations at that time."

Wen Wan nodded and quietly helped Luo Yang open the back door.

"Let's go to the Jinyu Mantang Restaurant near the company."

Later today, he has to go to Building 18, The Bund to pick up An Ying. Luo Yang plans to let Wen Wan accompany him for dinner first, then send Wen Wan back to the group company, and then go to the Bund to pick her up.

Dinner consisted of four dishes and one soup, but no wine.

"Have you been employed for a month?"

During the meal, Wen Wan was very quiet, and it was Luo Yang who took the initiative to speak.

"Boss, it will be a month next week."

“Time flies by so fast”

Luo Yang sighed, then put down the bowl of soup in his hand: "I think you have a preliminary understanding of the structure of the entire Lingshi Palace Group, and you also have a general impression of the subsidiaries. When you applied for the job, I promised to give you the unlocking authority, so do you plan to choose directly from the subsidiaries, or wait until the group's new main business in the second half of the year to connect?"

To connect with the company's business is equivalent to giving Assistant Wen Wan the authority.

"Are you planning to let Assistant Yu take on a heavier responsibility?"

Wen Wan thought so subconsciously and asked the same question.

"Yes and no."

Luo Yang simply stopped eating and answered Wen Wan: "Since the beginning of the year, the group company has added a lot of businesses outside the original framework, such as the newly established Sunshine Charity Foundation and the security company that is being acquired. These new businesses are all in the charge of Assistant Yu, which takes up a lot of his energy."

There is more to it than that.

Yu Haiping appears in all the affairs of the group headquarters, business docking with subsidiaries, board of directors affairs, and docking with Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, even if no new position was created for Yu Haiping, he was actually busier than Vice President Song Wan.

"I plan to put some of the docking business in the director's office to help Assistant Yu share some of the work."

Luo Yang expressed his thoughts: "In daily work, the reporting materials of various departments of the group, the declaration materials of subordinate subsidiaries, and the information summary are all reported to the Director's Office, which is sorted out by your department and reported to me. This is a kind of connection in itself. It's just that the Director's Office was only equivalent to a receiving and sending port before, and it was not given the corresponding authority to handle affairs."

When Wen Wan heard this, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

But she knew that she had to remain normal at this time and not appear too excited in front of Luo Yang.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

Wen Wan showed a puzzled expression just right and looked at Luo Yang with confusion.

"What's so hard to understand about this?"

Luo Yang gave Wen Wan a meaningful look. "Half of my daily schedule is spent in Yang City, and this is when the group's business is limited to the Magic City. In the future, as the business expands beyond the Yangtze River Delta or even further, including the time I spend on business trips, I will have even less time to handle daily affairs in the company."

This is what he really thinks in his heart.

Now he can only travel back and forth between Yang City and Mo City, but sooner or later, his itinerary will cover all major cities across the country.

The problem that follows is the daily handling of the company's affairs.

"I will do some sorting in the near future to distinguish the authorized content."

Luo Yang continued according to his own thoughts: "For example, if an employee asks for leave, in principle, one-day leave only needs to be approved by the department manager, two-day leave needs to be approved by the director-level leader, and three-day leave needs to be approved by me. I plan to delegate approval authority like this to the director."

In fact, the decentralization part is much more than that.

For example, each functional department within the company has an annual budget. When these expenses are spent, the approval does not need to go through the chairman. It only needs to be approved by the head of the corresponding department and the financial department. However, there are always expenses that exceed the budget, and Luo Yang cannot avoid this part.

According to Luo Yang's plan, this part of the authority, for matters involving amounts not exceeding a certain limit, can also be delegated to the directors.

There are many and varied trivial matters like these.

In the past, all the documents were summarized by Luo Yang, so whether in Yang City or in Mo City, the secretaries would often bring in a large pile of documents, which would take up a lot of Luo Yang's time.

It’s better to delegate power.

There is also the business docking with subordinate subsidiaries, which includes attending relevant meetings. Unfortunately, Luo Yang is too busy to have time to attend.

The most typical example is Kunpeng Technology. Even for such an important event as the test flight of a new aircraft model, Luo Yang could not be present on site in person. He could only ask his assistant Yu Haiping to attend on his behalf and report to him after returning.

Now he plans to transfer this part of authority to the board of directors' office and let the board of directors act as his eyes and ears.

Of course, delegating power is delegating power, and a summary of the information must be given to Luo Yang afterwards.

"Boss, do you plan to authorize it to the Director's Office or to the Director of the Director's Office?"

Wen Wan only mentioned her position and didn't mention her own name. This was a very smart question.

“The position of the director of the board office still needs to be adjusted.”

Luo Yang did not give a clear answer, but talked about another matter: "From now on, it would be more appropriate for my assistant to have the authority of deputy general manager, and it would be better for the director of the board's secretarial committee to concurrently serve as the director of the board's office."

You should know that the director of the board office did not have the authority to participate in board meetings, not even the qualification to attend as an observer.

Unless Luo Yang allows you to sit in.

This adjustment means empowering people while assigning positions at the same time.

Lingshi Palace Group is now divided into 11 levels in total. The original director of the board office was rated at around P6~P7, which is a middle-level manager, while the secretary committee member of the board of directors is rated at P8, which is already on the edge of the threshold of senior management.

Wenwan's heart skipped a beat.

"Boss, I will definitely not let you down."

If you don’t show your loyalty at this time, you’d be a fool.

Wen Wan is definitely not a fool.

"Do your best. Just like you said when you applied for the job, the entire group company has only been established for three years and is in a period of vigorous expansion. There will be countless opportunities in the process of development. Some people will fall behind, while others will soar to the sky."

Luo Yang picked up the chopsticks again and said as he picked up the food: "I hope you can keep up with me."

The simple meal for two didn't take much time and was finished before seven o'clock.

When we came out of the hotel and passed by the group headquarters office building, we dropped Wen Wan off in the car.

"Let's go to Plaza 66."

Seeing that it was still early, Luo Yang decided to buy a gift.

An Ying could refuse it, but he couldn't refuse to give it to her.

"watch?"

"dislike?"

"This is the first time you give me a gift, how could I not like it?" An Ying stretched out her wrist and motioned Luo Yang to help her put it on.

"It's quite beautiful."

Luo Yang took advantage of the situation and pulled her wrist, admiring it for a moment before saying, "I always thought you had low material demands, but think about it, which girl doesn't want her man to give her a nice gift?"

Before he could say sorry, his mouth was blocked by An Ying's little hand.

"I surrender to your power."

An Ying looked at Luo Yang and said seriously, "You never need to say sorry to me."

Who says straight women can’t say sweet words?
If the car had not been driving on the Xupu Bridge, Luo Yang would have killed An Ying directly.

"How was the fashion show tonight?"

Luo Yang decided to change the subject temporarily and suppress the anger in his stomach: "When I went out, I saw that you and Dong Xuan didn't seem to buy anything. What's wrong? Didn't you see any clothes that you liked?"

"I bought it and paid for it."

An Ying took back her hand and lifted the hem of her evening dress: "Leave your address and we'll deliver it to your door."

This is a manifestation of having no foundation.

If it were a rich second-generation like Zhang Weilun, he would definitely understand this common sense.

Fortunately, An Ying is also a person without any background, and her focus is not on this.

"During dinner, I talked with Dong Xing and wanted her to add another cooperation item on top of the acquisition of the raw material manufacturer."

This effect is far better than Luo Yang changing the subject.

After he opened his mouth and said a few words, his anger disappeared without a trace.

The key is to respond to her topic without getting angry.

"What kind of cooperation will it involve?"

Looking away from the evening dress, Luo Yang asked curiously, "The money we use comes from Sequoia Capital, which has supervision."

“Packaging manufacturing company.”

"A cup for milk tea?"

After his mind came back to normal, Luo Yang's brain worked quickly: "According to normal logic, even if we produce it ourselves, we only need one or two companies, right?"

“Reduce the size and expand the quantity.”

An Ying answered even faster: "And I've estimated that once the number of Lemon CC's direct stores and agency stores exceeds 1, the daily consumption of cups will be at least several million. If there are only one or two manufacturers, then they have to scale up. However, if they only make milk tea cups, it is not cost-effective. The only way is to divide the procurement into several small packaging production companies, which is reasonable."

Well, you know what, this idea really works.

"Whether we are transforming into the fast-moving consumer goods industry or entering the beverage industry, these acquired companies will be useful!"

"What did Dong Xuan say?"

"She will definitely not refuse anything that can make money."

An Ying smiled and said, "So she will pay for all the expenses tonight. This can be considered as a small bribe to me, the client."

"Hahaha"

It was rare to hear An Ying joking, so Luo Yang laughed out loud in response.

More than half an hour later, the two arrived at the house in Tomson Yipin.

When the house was auctioned off, An Ying was the one who handled the follow-up arrangements, so she was certainly familiar with the house.

"Wine or champagne?"

"Champagne, let's change the taste of the red wine we drank at dinner."

After taking off her high heels, An Ying walked towards the master bedroom as if she knew the way. "I'll take a shower and change into pajamas first. It'll be quick!"

Gee.
In fact, it’s quite nice to wear an evening gown, and you don’t have to take off your high heels.

Why change into pajamas?

Luo Yang smacked his lips without stopping, took off his coat and went to the wine cabinet to get some wine and a glass.

If you say it will be fast, it will be fast.

In less than ten minutes, An Ying walked out of the bedroom wearing Luo Yang's shirt.

Nice, so pretty.

When handing over the wine glass, Luo Yang put his arm around An Ying's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and gave her a deep kiss.

"This is a reward for you. You've done a good job recently!"

This is the most effective way to talk to someone like An Ying.

Sure enough, President An's body softened.

"Boss, since last year, I have been doing market research while on business trips. I found that the entry barrier to the fast-moving consumer goods industry is very low, but it is quite difficult to achieve scale and brand influence."

After lying on the sofa, even though he was held in his arms, President An still did not forget to talk about business.

"And I found a phenomenon that the leading companies are very monopolistic. For example, instant noodles are mainly products of Uni-President and Dingxin. Although there are more dairy companies, the number is limited. The same is true for beverages, including Master Kong, Uni-President, Wahaha, and Wong Lo Kat."

“Are you anxious?”

To be able to talk about these topics at this time, either An Ying has gone crazy or she is really feeling uneasy.

"It seems that you still have concerns about my decision to sell Lemon CC and switch to the food industry."

Luo Yang knew that An Ying was not so ignorant of romance.

The only explanation is that she was unsure.

"How about this, I'll do a small project recently to give you a better sense of security."

Luo Yang had to start a small project ahead of time: "Send someone to Luohe, Henan Province, to inspect a food company called Weilong. When they come back, they will make the company's main products. I won't be responsible for marketing plans or anything like that."

"what?"

An Ying was stunned, staring at Luo Yang with wide eyes, full of confusion.

"It is a food industry that has some potential but is not valued at present. However, if it is done well, it can still achieve sales of more than 1 billion yuan a year."

Because some things cannot be explained, Luo Yang is unwilling to say too much.

"Snapped!"

Don't give An Ying too much time to think.

Luo Yang said rudely: "I've already given you the idea for the experimental project. If you think about business for one more second tonight, I'll beat your ass."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

An Ying didn't care that she was still holding the wine glass in her hand. She turned over and sat astride Luo Yang's legs.

She put her arms around his neck and said, "One last question."

"hehe."

Luo Yang would never give in to her. As he started to act, he said with a wicked smile, "As long as you ask me later, I will answer your questions seriously!"

An Ying bit her lip, obviously intending to fight it out.

snort!
It must be a life-and-death struggle.
