Chapter 2768 Solution

"Hey," Feng Yiping walked into the entertainment room, "Are we going home, or are you staying here for a while?"

The TV was playing Beyonce's concert, and the small table next to it was filled with fruits and snacks, and a bunch of bright red roses, which was very eye-catching.

Mayer held two strawberries in one hand and browsed the furniture website with the mouse in the other hand. From this angle, the part of her neck was shining white.

"Come and see, how about this baby bed?"

"Not bad," Feng Yiping took her hand, "Actually, you only need to choose a sofa, and for the other furniture, tell me your requirements, and I will let the furniture company customize it for you,"

"I asked, and the company just happened to have a batch of good wood in stock,"

The redecoration and ventilation of the new house over there will take at least nearly a year. With such a long time, what kind of furniture can't the furniture company make?

"Oh, right, I just remembered that you have a furniture company," Mayer seemed to suddenly realize.

Otherwise, what do you think I mean by customization? I am a person who is determined to build a Chinese version of IKEA. Do I need to find other companies to customize the furniture at home?

"Tell me, what kind of wood are there?" Mayer became interested.

"Huanghuali,"

Mayer was confused, "What?"

Oh, Feng Yiping just remembered that the understanding of precious wood here is completely different from that in China.

For us, precious woods such as red sandalwood and yellow sandalwood that are hard to come by at a high price, they may not care at all.

What they like here are mostly fir, yew, cherry and the like.

"Teak, I will ask them to purchase a batch of teak right away, okay?"

"Teak? This is good!" Mayer smiled with satisfaction, "Can I specify the place of origin?"

This is not a problem. Anyway, this thing doesn't seem to be produced in our country.

"Oh yes, and can the home have a beautiful screen like the one in Mantingfangli?"

"The question, you can also choose... Wu Qian,"

Wu Qian, who knocked on the door and came in, just heard Mayer's question, home?

I have to have a new home in Silicon Valley, can I handle it?

"Excuse me," Wu Qian apologized to Mayer, "Mr. Feng, Mr. Ma pulled Mr. Jin and said he wanted to have a video conference with you,"

"Oh, what does he want?"

"Go ahead, I'll take a look," Mayer seemed to be in the mood to browse the Internet.

"Old Ma, Jin Ling," Feng Yiping returned to the meeting room again, "Do you have any questions?"

"Yiping," Old Ma stood in front of the camera, "I know it's late there, but if I don't ask this question, I will definitely not sleep well tonight,"

"So serious?" Feng Yiping smiled and sat down.

"Yiping, tell me honestly, are you speeding up your retirement?" Old Ma asked.

"Seeing everything in order, I am relieved, and I do have such a plan,"

Old Ma suddenly became excited, "How can this be?" He waved his hands and walked around in front of the camera, "This is absolutely not possible,"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet. Although I am relieved and have such a plan, I haven't put it into action yet,"

"Really?" Old Ma looked skeptical.

"Look, when did we not have such trust?"

"Haha, that's good," Lao Ma's mood suddenly brightened up, "That's great,"

"But why are you talking to everyone about this today?" He seemed confused again, "Look, you always told them before to focus on the work in front of them, to focus on the work in front of them, but today, you suddenly asked everyone to think about these issues that are not directly related to us,"

"And ask them to think about these issues from a higher level,"

Lao Ma wanted to say, with such seemingly contradictory requirements, aren't you laying the foundation for the group's "post-Feng Yiping era"?

"The main reason is that I think many of our senior executives are not proactive enough and lack innovation because of their narrow focus, so I think it is necessary to make some adjustments,"

"Of course, other employees should still focus on the work in front of them,"

After hearing his explanation, Lao Ma breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't relax completely, "Then I have another thing that we need to do right away,"

"Although we have been promoting rotation, these senior executives, these employees with long qualifications and high salaries..."

He didn't want this matter to fall into his hands alone.

"Old Ma, you are really sensitive," Feng Yiping was a little helpless. His thoughts should be hidden very deeply, but he still saw through them.

"Foreign Exchange has been developing for more than ten years, and e-commerce has been around for almost ten years, but the core e-commerce team has been around for more than ten years, right?"

"Yes, many of us were colleagues before 1999," said Old Ma, thinking of the old partners in the team who had been with him since the beginning of his business.

"Over the past ten years, there must have been a group of people with high status and high income, and because of their seniority, their status will only become more and more stable as time goes by,"

"On the other hand, their friendship with each other will also make their status more stable,"

"But what about their abilities? Have they reached their peak? Is their enthusiasm for learning still as high as before?"

"In short, I think the growth of such a group is not a good sign for a company,"

Jin Ling interrupted at this time, "There are such people, but more people can be said to be dedicated to their duties. Their work results are fully worthy of their responsibilities and income."

"As long as you look at our performance appraisal, you will know that the performance goals we have set cannot be achieved just by resting on our merits and doing nothing as usual,"

"Yes," Feng Yiping nodded, "Our management is a strong guarantee to prevent this phenomenon. I also fully acknowledge your point of view. The vast majority of our senior executives are qualified."

"But the problems Yiping mentioned do exist," Lao Ma said.

There is only one highest position in a company. If this position is held by one person for five or ten years, it will naturally make some people feel discouraged.

"So, I haven't thought about how to deal with this problem," Feng Yiping sighed.

In my impression, in order to deal with such problems, Huawei seemed to have had a "general resignation" very early on.

All employees in a department resign and are then re-employed.

But frankly speaking, Feng Yiping doesn't like that approach. If he fails to take up his original position after re-election, isn't that forcing him to resign?

To be honest, few people have an easy journey to the position of senior executive. Their hats are taken off so indirectly. Who wouldn’t feel a huge sense of gap in their hearts?

But on the other hand, if you expect them to take the initiative to give up talents and don't ask too high for salary increase, they can't do it.

"So after much thought, there are currently two possible methods,"

"One is to allow the company to continue to maintain rapid growth, which will naturally create some new executive positions, allow our old friends to move around, or give more opportunities to the young people who will follow,"

"The second method is internal entrepreneurship, which I have mentioned before, but there has been no progress. I think the intensity in this area needs to be increased,"

"If we incubate more successful projects internally, there will be many more opportunities for new employees. This will not make some rare talents feel that their room for advancement is limited and leave with the feeling that their talents are not appreciated,"

"I agree," Lao Ma said immediately.

This time, he finally felt relieved.

He particularly admires intrapreneurship, arguably the most effective means of keeping an organization alive.

"As for internal entrepreneurship, we have recently introduced some measures," Jin Ling said.

"As for cement and steel, the price of steel is at a record low this month. Should we stock up a batch?" Lao Ma's question is not over yet.

"Otherwise, even if the increase is only 10% in the future, the increased cost of building our logistics network will not be a small amount..."

"Let's put this aside for now. I still need to analyze it based on more factors," Feng Yiping interrupted, "Since we're all here, how about I tell you some good news?"

"Really good news?" They both didn't believe it.

"Of course, this is a reward for you two," Feng Yiping cleared his throat, "Comrades, your Tesla will be shipped soon!"

"Really?" "Great!" Jin Ling and Lao Ma were really happy after hearing this.

"Wait a minute," Lao Ma thought for a moment, "didn't we pay the deposit earlier?"

"Yes, we bought the car with our own money. What kind of reward is this?" Jin Ling also asked.

"Well," Feng Yiping rarely blushed, "the number of these cars is limited, so if I can give them to you first, isn't that a reward?"
