Chapter 23 The Problem of Family Business

Zhang Ke took Li Yijiang's car to Xinhaiyuan, where senior officials of the provincial party committee and government lived, and caught Xie Wanqing's car and entered the gate.

The one who drove for Xie Wanqing was a professional woman, 34 or 35 years old, with a short-sleeved striped shirt, a gray skirt, and a gold-rimmed glasses on her white face, giving people a clean and neat feeling.

Two cars were parked in the yard, and Zhang Ke stood on the steps and watched Xie Wanqing walk over.

Without the rosy and tenderness that he first saw, his face became more and more white, without any impurities, and his eyes were very tired. When Xie Wanqing saw Zhang Ke, her tense nerves seemed to relax: "Xiao Ke is here too."

"Zhitong refuses to eat, come and accompany her."

Xu Xueping's lover Zhou Shuhui walked out and said with relief: "It's good that you all come back. My aunt is angry and I'm almost in a hurry. You haven't come to eat yet, right?" Seeing the woman behind Xie Wanqing, "Fejuan sent Wanqing here, so stay for dinner before leaving."

"I was afraid that I would be unable to take off my body after being entangled by Zhitong in the afternoon, so I called Sister Cai over to discuss the company's affairs." Xie Wanqing explained from the side.

"If you feel the mess left by Zhiming, just withdraw the shares and bring Zhitong well..."

"Zhiming was relieved to hand over the company to his third brother and the others. As a result, the company management has been a mess in the past few years. Zhiming took me and Zhitong to Haizhou this time, and planned to see where the following problem was. He didn't expect it..." Xie Wanqing bit her lips and couldn't say it, with red eyes, tears rolling in her eyes.

Zhou Shuhui sighed: "Your third brother and the others are not blamed for this. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?"

Xie Wanqing pursed her lips and refused to speak. Zhou Shuhui sighed softly, knowing that she would not listen to her advice, so she turned her body sideways and asked everyone to enter the room.

When Zhang Ke heard that they were talking about the family business, he was surprised. Xu Zhiming was the son of the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Committee, so why was he still doing business in the province? Xu Xueping didn't look like an unscrupulous leader. After he stepped down, there were no rumors among the people that were unfavorable to him. It was really strange. You should know that the central government had regulations that cadres' children avoided doing business as early as 1985.

Zhang Ke walked into the room and saw Zhitong going down the stairs barefoot, stepping onto the floor, standing there hesitantly, staring at her without blinking, as if a frightened little beast did not dare to move.

Zhang Ke squatted down, looked at Zhitong's shocking eyes, and said, "Zhitong doesn't know Brother Xiaoke anymore?"

Zhitong then walked over, grabbed the corner of Zhang Ke's clothes with her hand, and then pulled her mother's fingers with her hand. However, she did not dare to show a smile on her tender face, which made people heartbreaking.

Zhang Ke couldn't understand what fear the car accident left for Zhitong's child so young. He grabbed the corner of her clothes and did not let go of his hand all afternoon. Xie Wanqing also pulled Zhitong tightly so that she couldn't take off her body.

There was no way to deal with Zhitong. When Xie Wanqing discussed the company with Cai Feijuan in the afternoon, Zhang Ke was able to listen.

Xie Wanqing and her husband Xu Zhiming founded Haiyu Trading Company in the province before Xu Xueping was transferred to be the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Xie Wanqing's family had a good business foundation in Donghai Province. Haiyu's company also achieved some achievements in its early years. After Xu Xueping was transferred to be the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Xu Zhiming handed over the company's affairs to Xie Wanqing's cousin Xie Zhan for management. All the shares of the company were placed under Xie Wanqing's name to avoid the policy that the children of cadres and relatives were not allowed to do business at that time.

Haiyu Company, which mainly engages in re-sale trade, has established a intensive distribution network throughout the province. In the 1990s, the modern logistics system was not fully established. Manufacturers must rely on agents and middlemen to transport products to the terminal market. The distribution network established by Haiyu Company in the province is a very important resource.

Of course, the distribution network has a lot of branches. It requires a very high management level and financial level to manage this distribution network well. Xu Zhiming managed the company through Xie Wanqing's cousin, and Haiyu Company has successively exposed many management problems.

After listening for an afternoon, Zhang Ke realized that Haiyu Company's management was not a general problem, but a major problem that was so serious that it threatened its survival.

For example, the company headquarters only evaluates the collection of funds from branches and offices below, but does not have strict control over expenses, and there is no unified standard for reimbursement of various expenses.

Zhang Ke remembered that when he first came to work at Longyu Group after graduating from university, the financial management of Longyu Group was also very chaotic. Every time he went on a business trip, he first went to the station to buy a few invoices so that he could go back to reimburse him. Longyu Group is a production-oriented enterprise. Occasionally, there are a few borers like Zhang Ke that cannot collapse. However, the four or five hundred employees of Haiyu Company are mainly business personnel. If there is no good financial control method, just letting the salesperson constantly apply some oil is enough to make Haiyu Company eat a pot.

Zhang Ke knew why he had never heard of Haiyu Company. Even if he had such a chaotic company, no matter how strong the resources he had, he would never survive the battle in the late stage of the big marketing era.

Zhang Ke and Xu Zhiming met in a hurry on the North Street, and didn't even look at their faces. But with this rough glance, I felt that Xu Zhiming was still like an intellectual. In his hands, the management of Haiyu Company should not be so poor. It seems that Xie Wanqing's cousin Xie Zhan had a problem.

Or relatives? Relatives are deadly after drinking blood.

People like Xu Zhiming and Xie Wanqing who come from high-tech and high-ranking families will not have a bad view of people. Xie Zhan really has no management level, and Xu Zhiming probably won't entrust the company to him, but the current management of Haiyu Company is indeed unimaginable.

Management is chaotic, and even if a company can barely maintain it, it will not make any profit. Of course, the employees below will not have any good benefits, but for some managers, it is an opportunity to make a fortune from it.

Haiyu Company has such good resources, especially Xu Xueping behind Xu Zhiming, who can at least barely maintain Haiyu Company. As long as it lasts for one day, Xie Zhan can make money for a day. Zhang Ke suddenly felt that Xie Wanqing's cousin was really a fucking character, but from the discussion between Cai Feijuan and Xie Wanqing, they seemed not aware of Xie Zhan's sinister intentions, but they just kept complaining that Xie Zhan's management level was low, stubborn and self-willed, and did not listen to other people's opinions.

Cai Feijuan is Xu Zhiming's classmate and is considered a veteran of Haiyu Company. She has a lot of insights into corporate management and put forward several suggestions on the current problems of Haiyu Company, asking Xie Wanqing to urge Xie Zhan to implement it.

Zhang Ke almost laughed out loud after hearing this and couldn't help but say, "Sister Wanqing, I think the biggest problem of Haiyu's company lies in this general manager."
