He did not have any power, not even symbolic power. No one would gather around him and he had no extra money. It was impossible for him to be the boss.
Unless he took the lead in raising the company's salary and the workers wanted him to be the one to stand up for them, then they would go along with him.
Liu Shan said, "Isn't the discipline in the military school quite strong? You should have learned it by now. Just follow the military school's rules."
He Zhou said, "That's mandatory. Discipline and getting along with people are two different things. There's no reason to talk about in the military. They have to swear an oath to obey.
For a business, profit is the first priority. For an employee, earning money is the first goal. They are willing to obey you because of the spirit of the contract. It's an employer-employee relationship. That's why some companies are doing military management.
The obedience of an employee depends on both circumstances and the charisma of the leader. If both are not involved, the company won't last long.
I don't have any charisma. In other people's eyes, I'm still wet behind the ears. Unless I spend money to rope them in, no one will listen to me. At most, I'll get two or three good friends. I only have this much money a month. I'm not going to be a fool. "
After finishing two boxes of beer, they wanted to order more. Pan Ying reminded, "Auntie He is in the provincial capital, right?"
He Zhou waved his hand at the owner, indicating that there was no need for more beer. If he drank too much, he would nag.
Liu Shan said, "I'm a little drunk too. I'm not going to drink anymore. You guys go back to wash up and sleep."
He Zhou said, "Remember to let me know when you're leaving. I'll send you to the airport."
Liu Shan said, "I'll take the plane from Pudong International Airport to Pujiang first. I won't take the plane from the provincial capital. You don't have to worry about it. I'll call you when I get to America. "
"Then have a safe trip." He Zhou stood up to pay the bill but Pan Ying had already paid for it.
Pan Ying stopped a taxi and asked He Zhou and Liu Shan to get in.
Liu Shan said, "You guys go first. I have to rush to the next show. I have a gathering with my classmates before I leave."
"Then be careful on the road. Don't drink too much." He Zhou and Pan Ying got in the taxi.
The two houses lived in the same neighborhood. He Zhou walked unsteadily. Even though he was only a few steps away from his house, Pan Ying was still worried and insisted on following him into the house.
He Zhou took out the key but couldn't find the keyhole. Pan Ying was about to grab the key to open the door when the door opened.
"Xiao He is back. Xiao Pan is here too." The person who opened the door was the He family's auntie, Bao Suhua.
"Auntie."
He Zhou respected Bao Suhua very much.
He grew up with his mother and had a few aunts to take care of him. However, some of his aunts went to school and had to take care of their studies. Some were married and had to take care of their families. Some were working and had to take care of their jobs. As for his maternal grandparents, they lived in the countryside and had no time to take care of him.
His mother couldn't take care of him all the time.
Therefore, after he entered elementary school, Bao Suhua took care of him most of the time.
Bao Suhua was originally a female worker at his mother's oil factory. His mother saw that Bao Suhua was well-behaved and reliable, so she asked her to take care of him. In addition to three meals a day, she also took care of him daily from school.
After he entered high school, he began to live in school, but his mother still didn't fire her.
She had been working for the He family for nearly twenty years and had never made a mistake. He Zhaodi had become dependent on her, and she had feelings for the He family.
Bao Suhua was diligent in the He family, and Zhaodi didn't mistreat her. Although her salary was the same as the market, the benefits were not available in other families. Her son's schooling, marriage, and becoming the CEO of a company with millions of assets were all inseparable from Zhaodi's help.
Bao Suhua glanced around the room and asked in a low voice, "Did you drink?"
He Zhou nodded. "I drank a little."
Bao Suhua pointed upstairs and said in a low voice, "Then be gentle."
She was nearly sixty years old. She could have retired and gone home to enjoy her life, but she was still willing to be an auntie in the He family. Firstly, she had feelings for the He family, and secondly, she didn't want to go home and be bullied by her son and daughter-in-law. As long as she stayed in the He family for a day, her son and daughter-in-law wouldn't dare to look down on her.
He Zhou said to Pan Ying, "Why don't you go back first?"
Pan Ying said, "I wouldn't dare to stay even if you begged me to."
With that, he ran away.
He Zhou tiptoed into the house. Just as he was about to sneak back to his room, he heard his mother shout, "He Zhou, come up."
He Zhou raised his head. His mother was sitting on the sofa on the second floor, her hand on the railing as she looked at him.
He straightened his shirt, rubbed his forehead, and braced himself to go up to the second floor.
The second floor was an open hall. There were sofas placed against the staircase railing in the hall. There were five people sitting on the sofas, and there were thick books and documents on the table in front of each of them.
He Zhou smiled and greeted them one by one, and everyone smiled in response.
Zhaodi looked at He Zhou, whose face was flushed red from drinking. She frowned, took off her glasses, and said to him, "Sit at the side."
He Zhou took the teacup from Bao Suhua and didn't say a word. They were having a meeting, so he just listened carefully. It wasn't the first time he had attended one or two.
He Zhaodi said to a bespectacled middle-aged man, "Old Song, go on."
He Zhou looked at Old Song. He was no stranger to him. Old Song's name was Song Chenguo, the strategic manager of the group. He graduated from the Ivy League and used to be a senior executive in a famous international logistics company. His mother had spent a lot of effort to hire him.
Song Chenguo said, "E-commerce has opened up the Internet business market, and in recent years, it has shown a tenacious vitality and a growing market trend. The commercialization and informatization of E-commerce ultimately relies on logistics and distribution. The development of E-commerce in our country urgently needs logistics support that suits its characteristics … "
Zhaodi took notes in her notebook as she listened to him. Occasionally, when he deliberately paused to take care of her, she would raise her head and ask him to continue.
"We now have 25 IT systems, 17 IT projects, and 5 development platforms. We invest more than 800 million a year, but I don't think it's enough. Informatization is the only way to develop modern logistics. In the future, we should continue to invest more in IT resources, "Song Chenguo went on." We should design a new operation model to solve the problems of high logistics costs, poor timeliness, and lack of convenience from the point of delivery. "
Zhaodi said, "In other words, we should go the route of Dongfeng Express. But is the market capacity of the express delivery industry that big?"
Song Chenguo said, "Boss He, Dongfeng Express is not the only express delivery company in our country. With the rapid development of E-commerce, many express delivery companies are investing heavily in the warehousing industry to expand their supply chain and business scope. It seems like they are catching up from behind. The market is big enough to support more than ten companies like Dongfeng Express. "
Zhaodi looked around, took a sip of tea, and said casually, "What's everyone's opinion?"
A woman with short hair and a pretty face in a floral dress said, "I agree with Boss Song. Since the second half of 2010, many express delivery companies in our country have experienced a surge in business, with a significant increase of 20 to 30 percent …"
