Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 136 Changes in Trading Companies

Liang Haowen quickly shook his head and said, forget it, let's wait and see what Ma Qing does next week.

He quickly changed the subject: "Just to inform you, the loan from the real estate company is about to be approved, so hurry up and find a store."

After saying this, he hailed a rickshaw and left without waiting for Ma Qing to reply.

Ma Qing watched Liang Haowen sitting in a rickshaw going away, and suddenly felt that he should buy a car. He had rented a car for Huang Hongtu for three months some time ago, and the rental fee was a bit painful.

Forget it. I have to use the money to buy a factory, so I'd better save it for now. Rickshaws have their advantages. In a small place like Hong Kong, rickshaws are very flexible. Ma Qing started to engage in self-PUA.

On Monday afternoon, Ma Qing took advantage of the fact that there was no class at school and made an appointment with Liang Haowen to come to Rongfa Trading again.

In Ye Shouzhuo's former manager's office, Ma Qing looked at Deputy Manager Zhang Lizhe who was sitting opposite him, "Deputy Manager Zhang, are you saying that three people have submitted their resignations?"

"Yes, after the questionnaire was conducted, these three people submitted their resignations." Zhang Lizhe was very impressed with the questionnaire conducted by Ma Qing. He felt that the young boss in front of him was a little different from others and did not follow the usual path.

"Since they want to be respectable, I can't do anything bad. I'll give them this month's salary in full, and we can part ways in peace."

Ma Qing added, "You are Mr. Ye's relative, right?"

Zhang Li Ze felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the legendary high-level purge had come? But Rongfa was such a small company, was it necessary? "Yes, but I didn't get this position by relying on my relatives. In fact, Mr. Ye and I are not very related."

Ma Qing interrupted Zhang Lizhe's speech. The awkwardness shown by the man in his thirties opposite him when facing him made Ma Qing feel that this man was indeed a little short-sighted. However, he did not know his exact situation. What if his family was in financial difficulty and he really needed this job?

"Don't be nervous, Deputy Manager Zhang. The survey a few days ago showed that you have a good reputation in the company. After careful consideration, I have decided to hire you as the company's administrative manager and increase your salary by 10%."

After hearing this, Zhang Li Ze relaxed completely. He thought he would be purged, but unexpectedly he got a raise. He felt a sense of joy all over his body. "Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss. I will definitely..."

Ma Qing raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Li Ze's next words of loyalty, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I have my own requirements. First, stabilize the operation of the entire company. As long as you do this, you will be able to sit firmly in the position of administrative manager."

Ma Qing changed the subject and said, "I also want you, the administrative manager, to act as the general manager. If you can achieve a profit-and-loss balance within half a year, then you will be the real general manager of Rongfa Trading.

But let me make it clear first, the premise of breaking even is that the company's trade volume cannot be reduced. Don't try to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Of course, if you don't have confidence, I can also recruit another general manager to do the job. What is your choice? "

Zhang Li Ze became even more excited when he heard this. After so many years in the company, he actually did not fully agree with Ye Shouzhe's management philosophy. However, he was just a subordinate and he had persuaded him. It was good enough that he could barely maintain the status quo. But now he had a chance and he must seize it.

"Boss, I have confidence. Please give me this opportunity." "Well, you are now the acting general manager of Rongfa. Call in Chen Xiaobai, Wang Tianzhi, Liu Boqian, accountant Zhang Zeshui and cashier He Na. Let's have a small meeting in the conference room today."

After a while, everyone sat in a circle in the conference room, and Ma Qing got to know Chen Xiaobai, who had the strongest business ability, Wang Tianzhi, who had the most pioneering spirit, Liu Boqian, who was fair and kind, and the accountant and cashier he had known before.

Ma Qing began his long speech:

"I believe that everyone should understand my character and style of doing things to some extent. I am a young man and I know nothing about trade, but the reason I bought this company is because I am full of confidence in the future of Hong Kong and in the future of Hong Kong's trade. I hope everyone has confidence too." Ma Qing was sure to encourage everyone when he arrived.

"I'm announcing new appointments. Zhang Lizhe will be the manager of the administrative department and will act as the general manager. The business department will be divided into two, with Chen Xiaobai as the director of the first department, Wang Tianzhi as the director of the second department, and Liu Boqian as the director of the office."

"Accountant Zhang Zeshui is appointed as the director of the Finance Department. As for the cashier, Ms. He Na, please be prepared for the handover. The new cashier will be in place within a week, and you must complete the handover within a month."

When the cashier He Na heard this, she became anxious and was about to speak, but Ma Qing immediately interrupted her: "Don't be anxious, listen to me first. The cashier of this company will be provided by my partner, Lawyer Liang Haowen. No matter what the purpose is, we are all adults and should be able to understand."

"As for He Na, don't worry. I have other companies. I promise you in front of everyone here that you won't lose your job. You'll just be working in a different place. I'll also give you a 10% pay raise."

"I understand. Thank you, boss." We are all smart people, and He Na also understood that what else could she do except express her gratitude.

"I've already said that I'm a complete layman when it comes to trade, but when I checked the company's accounts, I found that most of the accounts receivable that the company couldn't collect came from Han and Asan. So, old customers from these two countries should be cut off unless they have good credit. New customers from these two countries should not be served unless they pay first."

When Ma Qing checked the company's financial statements, he was so angry that his liver hurt. He couldn't understand Ye Shouzhuo's mentality at all. He wanted to hold the sand in his hand even though he couldn't hold it.

"That's basically the situation. Director Liu, let's arrange a dinner for everyone this weekend." Ma Qing took out 500 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table. "We won't use the company's account. Here's 500 yuan. Just follow this standard. When you've arranged it, please notify me and Lawyer Liang. I won't bother you anymore. The future of Rongfa Trading is in your hands."

When Ma Qing left the meeting room, he heard several people congratulating each other.

Liang Haowen stood aside and followed Ma Qingchao out of the company, "Is that it?"

Ma Qing looked at his partner: "Then what do you think? Are you interested in running a trading company?"

"Then we can also hire a general manager. Now all of them will be from the original company. You can rest assured."

Ma Qing said: "It is not easy for Rongfa Trading to make a slight loss in the current market environment. It shows that the original company has a good foundation. Now I have got rid of the bad apples, so there is no problem with the business going well."
