452. Candidate Dilemma

"Well, indeed, the business model of such a family business is too loose. If this continues, it will not be a long-term solution. And in the long run, such a business model is very unfavorable to your company. Many resources are completely wasted. The model of those companies forming a group and then interoperating internally is very good. In this way, all industries can form an initial industrial chain. Although they are not in one industry, such multi-scope operation is actually very beneficial. After all, when the financial crisis breaks out, some industries are easily impacted. At this time, other industries within the group stand up and act as leaders to make up for the losses of other industries. Only such groups have more firepower and stronger resistance to risks."

After listening to Li Yifan's description, Heidi told Li Yifan that her studies in Europe over the past year were not in vain. The professors of economics who were invited to come to high prices every day were different from those in China who only know how to compete with each other, or who specialize in tricks everywhere and only know how to make paper.

Li Yifan thought what Heidi said was very reasonable, and many things were said to him. Indeed, if his family business wants to become bigger and stronger, group, save resources and communicate with each other in the future, it is necessary, and it can also tap potential in production and quality monitoring, which will have such great benefits for the healthy growth of the group.

"And I like the employee welfare measures you just mentioned very much. If you can implement this, it will definitely be very good. Because you will notice that this is actually a means of market cultivation. Nowadays, you must not only pay attention to the quality of your products, but also pay great attention to the market, especially families like yours, and all industries are not high-tech jobs, so you should pay more attention to market cultivation. I think you have heard that Ford will give its own workers a high-wage stock market? At that time, the bosses said that everyone can afford Ford, and then what? Then the money will return to the boss with the consumption of these workers. When these workers drive such a car, they invisibly advertise Ford. When their relatives and friends choose their own cars, they often choose Ford first."

Heidi continued to say to Li Yifan, and Li Yifan also nodded. Heidi's summary made sense.

"For example, your winery and dairy factory are very distinctive and are companies you are very optimistic about. If you distribute the products of these two companies as benefits to employees, then when they go back to use or give them away, they will also be an invisible promotion of your products. At that time, more and more people who have never tried your products will buy your products. And your idea of ​​asking employees to travel to your resort hotel is great. This will not only make good use of resources, but also make good advertisements for your resorts. You must know that these employees will not always be poor. Even if they are not rich, they may also have a need for tourism. Since you can't go to a far place, then you can always get a discount in your own resort, right? Will your resort take advantage of the benefits at that time?"

After hearing what Heidi said, Li Yifan was even happier that Heidi agreed with her idea, but what followed was a frown.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?

Heidi saw Li Yifan's expression and asked him.

"These ideas are very good, I also know, but if you want to promote these ideas specifically, you need a good helmman. Now the business model of our family business is indeed very loose, and everyone is working on their own. For example, my father focuses on Zhengyang Hotel and Phoenix Winery, while my brother-in-law's main energy is Shuguang Construction Company, and my sister's main energy is on the Li family maternal and infant chain, while the dairy factory and printing factory are both the original factory managers staring at it. Their ability is to manage the current situation, but if they are asked to integrate so many industries, formulate detailed rules and regulations, and implement them, it may be a bit difficult."

Li Yifan frowned and said to Heidi, who fell into deep thought after hearing this.

"Well, there is no order without rules. If your family businesses want to become bigger and stronger, they must form a group scale. If a group can be formed and group operations will save a lot of manpower and material resources, and resources, and can find the right response for the group. However, the choice of the leader is indeed a problem. So what if I help you find a CEO abroad?"

Heidi had a good idea, but after hearing this, Li Yifan did smile bitterly and shook his head.

Before, he had been thinking about finding a suitable CEO to assist him in integrating his family's resources and forming a qualified commercial group, but he had no idea.

Nowadays, there are professional managers in China. These people usually return from studying abroad, have the title of MBA, and have several years of work experience abroad. However, if you want to manage a large enterprise, especially a comprehensive enterprise, many people still lack experience.

Moreover, Chinese people have a bad habit, that is, they would rather make a chicken head than a ox tail. Therefore, after these professional managers are in place, they may do well in the first two years, but after two years, some of them will turn your company into their own company in an accident.

Some people also have access to considerable personal resources through your platform, then go out to an independent portal, set up a company, become your competitors, and play against you.

This situation is common in China, especially in Xiangjiang, where the professional manager system is relatively complete and the circle of Chinese rich people in Southeast Asia, many people make their fortunes like this.

This is also why in Southeast Asia and Xiangjiang, many wealthy and powerful people do not admire the system of professional managers that have been popular in Europe and the United States for decades, but instead they are a system of training the elites of the player clan.

So it is quite troublesome to find a qualified professional manager in China who understands the domestic situation.

In Europe and the United States, the system of professional managers is quite mature, and they are very open-minded about such things. Those professional managers are indeed very professions, and fewer things happen to those Chinese professional managers. Therefore, the professional manager system is very popular in the large European and American companies circles.

If you hire a professional manager from Europe and the United States, there are several problems for Li Yifan. First, the scale of their family business may be good in Bincheng area, but in the eyes of foreign professional managers, especially experienced professional managers, it is not the case at all.

With a scale of less than 100 million US dollars, there is no need to mention such a company for famous professional managers. Even if it is a little famous, people are unwilling to come.

In this way, we can only hire managers who have rich theoretical experience but no practical work experience or are famous.

But when such a manager comes, can he really lead this family business well? I'm afraid it may not be possible, after all, the domestic business environment is very different from that of foreign countries.

Foreigners generally do business in a regular manner, but in China, they have to talk about hidden rules. You have to go to the government authorities to pay homage to the top of the mountain, and then treat guests to dinner and give gifts, etc. These methods may not be played by foreign managers who are accustomed to doing things according to the rules.

Such a so-called Chinese-style economy is really not something that all foreigners can play with.

And another thing is that not all foreign professional managers have real skills. Some people talk big and are really good at talking on paper, but they will also be fooled when they are real and real.

For example, after the famous Lenovo Group acquired IBM's personal computer business, it hired a more famous American manager to become the CEO of this department.

What happened in the past few years? The American spent countless funds and his salary was even more outrageous, but he forced IBM's personal notebook from an internationally renowned brand to a brand that was not very famous in China. In short, he completely messed up the deal.

Lenovo can only suffer this loss...

Therefore, Li Yifan's point of view is quite cautious about choosing a foreign professional manager. He also talked about his concerns with Heidi. After hearing this, Heidi thought about it for a while and said to Li Yifan.
