After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 206: Mrs.

This is a real company.

Located in Pudong.

Although the number of employees is a bit small, we are recruiting and the company is growing.

Sheng Wenwan's mood brightened.

There is no longer any worry about being cheated as in the past few days.

It’s not that I’m worried about being cheated.

It's already like that.

What else can I do if I don’t obey him?
I am mainly worried about work. If the company is fake, I can't lose my job at school.

The finance office hasn't been cleaned up yet.

Zhou Haoran took Sheng Wenwan to Jiang Xiong's office, "Old Jiang, this is Sheng Wenwan, the financial manager I found."

"Oh! Hello, Miss Sheng!"

Jiang Xiong was so shocked by the other party's charming beauty and proud temperament that he was speechless and shook hands with her in a panic.

Sheng Wenwan looked elegant and graceful in the British-style blue dress that the little man had bought for her. She smiled and said, "Hello, President Jiang. It's nice to meet you. I hope we can cooperate more in the future."

He didn't extend his hand and left Jiang Xiong, who wanted to shake hands, aside.

Zhou Haoran didn't hide it. He put his arm around Aunt Wan's waist and said with a smile, "Old Jiang, Miss Sheng is my roommate. Please be careful when you are with her. You should also help me keep an eye on her. If you see any man being inconsiderate, he will be fired immediately. No discussion on this!"

Jiang Xiong finally understood and laughed, "Of course I'll keep an eye on her for you! I was wondering why someone like Miss Sheng would come to a small place like ours. Turns out she's Mr. Zhou's man. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!"

Sheng Wenwan pursed her lips and smiled.

Her pretty face had flushed red, and she looked a little embarrassed.

This man's words are so annoying, as if he is the mistress of a rich man.

Jiang Xiong was a bit greasy at that age, and he said jokingly: "Miss Sheng, you are so lucky to be with our Mr. Zhou!"

Sheng Wenwan wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but out of dignity she could only smile and say, "Well, I'm lucky."

Zhou Haoran also felt a little uncomfortable and frowned, saying, "Old Jiang, work is work, don't talk about other things! Your child is already in middle school, you should be more mature."

Jiang Xiong quickly said, "It was just a joke, I didn't mean anything else."

Zhou Haoran sat down on the sofa with Aunt Wan and said without much room for negotiation, "From now on, she will be the financial manager, and she will be in charge of all the accounting matters. Just pay her 5000 yuan a month."

"It should!"

Jiang Xiong immediately expressed his agreement.

Zhou Haoran continued, "If she needs to spend money on other things, she can just use my share."

Jiang Xiong quickly said: "No, it's okay..."

"Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly." Zhou Haoran smiled. "When we do business together, no one should take advantage of the company. If you need money, just allocate the quota in advance. It's fair and just."

Jiang Xiong felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing. "Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. There's really no need to be so polite."

Zhou Haoran said seriously, "It's best to agree on who pays what, to avoid any complications later. I'm just setting an example. If you hire a female secretary in the future, any expenses she incurs beyond her base salary can be reimbursed to you."

"I can't afford it."

Jiang Xiong laughed.

He has no intention of having a mistress around him, at least not yet.

However, I also understood Mr. Zhou's logic.

That’s exactly how it should be!

The company's accounts must be kept clean, public is public and private is private.

The three bosses want to use money, so they need to make arrangements in advance.

Distribute reimbursement amounts evenly.

For example, this time, each person received a reimbursement amount of 100 million.

This 100 million is a personal account. The three of them can spend it as they please and do whatever they want with it, and it will all be counted as the company's operating expenses.

That's fair.

Xiaomi's expenses are private matters, so naturally they have to be paid through a private account.

"If a company wants to develop successfully in the long term, it must have comprehensive rules and regulations." Zhou Haoran wasn't the chairman or general manager, but he was the one who truly had the final say. "Lao Jiang, you're the general manager. Please provide a complete list of the company's operating procedures. Make it clear which position is responsible for which task and who is responsible for liaising with whom."

Jiang Xiong was embarrassed, "This is not easy, right?"

"We must do this." Zhou Haoran had to make his point clear. "If the company wants to operate in a formal way, it can't be a makeshift team. Everyone must perform their duties. Let me give you an example."

Jiang Xiong nodded and said with a smile: "The management of this company really depends on Mr. Zhou to oversee it."

Zhou Haoran hummed, then said calmly, "Take the money, for example. The 100 million yuan quota has already been allocated, so the three of us can use it as we please. But for money outside of the quota, there must be an explanation, and we have to follow the rules."

Jiang Xiong said: "Well, it should be."

Zhou Haoran said, "Right now, Zhongbo Bookstore's core business is to promote the 'Zhongbo Champion Handbook' series. This has been approved by the board of directors, and all funding must be centered around this project. If you want to use the money elsewhere, even if you're the general manager, the finance department won't approve it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Wan's eyes lit up.

I understood it immediately.

This gives her the power of checks and balances.

She is responsible to the board of directors, not the general manager. If the general manager's spending direction does not meet the board's requirements, she can refuse the general manager's request.

Jiang Xiong's face looked heavy.

Naturally, I also understood the meaning.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Old Jiang, what is a board of directors? Isn't it just you, me, and Old Li? The general direction has to be decided by the three of us. As for the general manager... today you're the general manager, and tomorrow we might bring in a skilled outsider. It's hard to say. We must institutionally limit the general manager's power and make him obey the board of directors."

The logic behind this corporate system is actually very simple.

It's common sense.

But these days, almost no one understands.

Jiang Xiong thought for a while before he figured out the superiority of Mr. Zhou's system logic. He suddenly realized, "So this is system design! I finally understand what system design means!"

Zhou Haoran said, "Domestic education actually imparts many erroneous economic theories, leading many people to hit dead ends in their business ventures. For example, the statement in 'Das Kapital' that productivity determines production relations is completely wrong and completely the opposite. We've all seen what has happened over the past few decades. Production relations should determine productivity. Without this understanding, business will definitely not be successful."

"Huh?" Jiang Xiong had a hard time following. "How should I understand this?"

Zhou Haoran briefly explained, "For example, when moving bricks, labor capacity is productivity. Who is a skilled worker and who is an unskilled worker is the production relationship. Previous theories dictated that whoever was most capable was the skilled worker, and that productivity determined production relations."

Jiang Xiong's heart was shaken. "Isn't this right?"

"But in a complex management organization, it's impossible to quantify things as easily as moving bricks. For example, if we were competing for the position of finance manager, how would we judge our productivity? Who would do that?"

"Uh..." "That way, there will be constant fighting, unclear authority and responsibility relationships, and chaos in company management. We need to start with the system and establish a production relationship. You're the financial manager, and I'm an ordinary accountant. Let's work under this production relationship for now and see how it goes. If it doesn't work, we can change it and adjust it."

Zhou Haoran's words made both people in the office fall into deep thought.

He's beyond the scope!

Jiang Xiong took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Zhou, I need to spend more time to understand this carefully."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "In a nutshell, work ability is productivity, and systems are production relations. We must first establish systems and clarify the 'relationships'. It's better to let a mediocre person lead smart people than to let the 'relationship' between two smart people become chaotic, which will then lead to management chaos."

Jiang Xiong was a little embarrassed, "It's too deep."

Zhou Haoran said, "First, clarify the relationships among all levels of the company. These are the production relationships. Once the production relationships are established, productivity will naturally emerge. If productivity is weak, it means that the production relationships are not well constructed and need to be adjusted."

Jiang Xiong analyzed, "Just like in our country during these years of reform, productivity remains the same, but the production relations and the system have changed, so it has developed rapidly. The system determines productivity."

"Yes, the same goes for the company!" Zhou Haoran said earnestly, "Lao Jiang, you are the general manager. You must understand this relationship clearly and respect the system. If Zhongbo Bookstore wants to develop in the long term, system construction is more important than anything else!"

He is not usually in the company.

How to control it?
We must use the system!

……

After leaving Jiang Xiong, we headed to the next stop, the publishing house.

Sheng Wenwan was really impressed by the little man this time.

His eyes were full of admiration.

Unbelievable!
"Haoran, how come you're so awesome?" Sheng Wenwan said in a sweet voice, unconsciously trying to please him. "I thought you were just a partner of Zhongbo Bookstore, but you're actually the boss!"

Zhou Haoran drove her away and said with a smile: "Yes, otherwise how can I take you down?"

"Yes, that's the reason. I finally understand." Sheng Wenwan felt relieved. "I gave in to you so rashly. In the past, this was unimaginable. Haoran, I'm not that kind of casual woman. What happened with you is really special."

Zhou Haoran naturally knew it and squinted his eyes, "I experienced it firsthand, I have feelings, just like a young girl."

Sheng Wenwan blushed and rolled her eyes at him, but she was also proud of herself. "It's true. I've never had children. I was married to my ex-husband for just over a year when he died... After that, I never had sex with another man. I've been keeping it all these years. I'm not a woman, but I'm not bad either."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I have more say than you on this. I am in charge of the execution work."

Sheng Wenwan bit her lip and glared at him, "Why do you always tease me?"

"Ah? Is it not okay to tease you?"

"Just now at the company, you also teased me."

"Where is it?"

"You said I was your little honey."

Sheng Wenwan is very resentful.

Zhou Haoran didn't care. "This kind of thing can't be concealed even if you want to. It's better to make it clear as soon as possible to avoid being targeted by some ignorant people. The ownership issue must be made clear."

Sheng Wenwan snorted: “I’m not Xiao Mi.”

"what is that?"

Zhou Haoran turned his head to look at her.

Sheng Wenwan raised her nose and said, "Xiao Mi is selling her body, but I'm not. I'm here to help you manage your money, to help you build corporate systems, to check and balance the general manager, and to help you protect the company. I'm yours, but I'm not Xiao Mi. I'm much more valuable than Xiao Mi."

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran heard something. "Did you understand what I said at the company just now?"

Sheng Wenwan paused and said slowly, "I vaguely understand. It means we need to establish a system to limit the power of the general manager. The general manager is responsible to the board of directors, and I am also responsible to the board of directors. This production relationship determines the future development of Zhongbo Bookstore. You are paving the way for my work authority and role in the company."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Aunt Wan, why do I feel like it's a bit of a waste of your talent to have you be a financial manager?"

Sheng Wenwan's face flushed with joy. She tucked her hair and said tenderly, "I felt like all my time was wasted until you appeared. You are like the master of my destiny. Haoran, I am willing to stay by your side forever and listen to you in everything."

Zhou Haoran nodded, "Okay, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Then why don't you give me a name?"

Sheng Wenwan always felt that she was being tested and was very nervous.

Zhou Haoran said with a smile: "What kind of status do you want? I can't marry you as my wife, right?"

Sheng Wenwan bit her lip and whispered, "Madam Ru is also fine."

"concubine?"

Zhou Haoran was both amused and confused.

I think Aunt Wan is quite cultured. As expected of a college student from the 1980s, her words are quite elegant.

Sheng Wenwan said resentfully, "There has to be an explanation. It's so unclear."

Zhou Haoran said: "Don't worry, let me teach you a lesson."

"Yeah." Sheng Wenwan sighed softly, very anxious, "Then hurry up, you can stay here tonight."

Zhou Haoran said, "I've been quite busy lately. You should first adapt to the job of financial manager. When you're ready, I'll gather everyone and hold a system-level strategic meeting. You can also attend. I'm usually not in the company, so you'll represent me."

"Trust me so much?"

Sheng Wenwan looked at him, her eyes conveying affection.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Of course I trust you. I know you inside and out. But you can't handle the finances by yourself. You need to hire more people to help you... Oh, didn't you mention that your sister-in-law was laid off? Ask her to come and help you."

"May I?"

Sheng Wenwan raised her voice in a high-pitched voice, and it was obvious that she was extremely happy.

"Sure, you're the financial manager, you have to hire people you trust. But don't invite too many relatives or friends, just two or three will do. If they don't obey management, it will be very troublesome." Zhou Haoran suddenly thought of something and made a request, "It can't be a man!"

Sheng Wenwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I haven't had much contact with men before. I've been single for so many years. I definitely won't in the future. You are quite possessive. I know who I belong to, so don't worry."

Soon, we arrived at Changxing Publishing House.

Zhongbo Bookstore now has 126 employees.

102 people work in the printing factory.

Most of them are workers.

Now that the company has merged, the financial system must also be merged.

Aunt Wan will also be in charge of the financial power of the publishing house.

Every month, employees’ salaries are over 100,000 yuan.

All payments must be made in cash.

This is not an easy job.
