Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

They put two folders on Zhou Qi's desk and said, "Brother Qi, the procedures for the shoe factory and the electrical appliance distribution company have been completed."

Zhou Qi picked up the document and flipped through it, then looked at the two and asked, "What do you think of these two newly acquired companies?"

Zhang Gongzheng replied: "I think the shoe factory is very similar to our existing garment factory. I have experience in this area. The factory building is in good condition and the equipment is very advanced, which is better than our garment factory. However, some of the employees are old and difficult to manage..."

His meaning was clear. He wanted to take over the shoe factory and planned to make a major change in the staff.

After all, the previous experience of the fourth factory showed that although the original staff was recalled in order to quickly resume production, a number of employees had to be replaced due to various problems.

He wants to adopt the same strategy for the new shoe factory.

Zhou Qi smiled and asked Zhang Gongzheng: "How long will it take you to complete all this?"

Zhang Gongzheng thought about it and said firmly: "Give me a month."

Zhou Qi said to Zhang Gongzheng with a serious expression: "I'll give you half a month. I want to see a brand new team."

"Don't worry, Brother Qi, you will definitely see changes within half a month." Zhang Gongzheng responded confidently.

Zhou Qi nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Ma Yuancai and asked, "Yuancai, have you figured out the electrical appliances?"

Ma Yuancai frowned slightly and replied: "I have never been involved in this field before, and I am still confused now. But the warehouse is well managed, and the company's operations mainly rely on family members. Now that we have acquired it, we can't continue to use the old people."

He then added: "We have six stores, two in Spring City, and the other four in surrounding cities. Judging from the stores in Spring City, the business is still going well."

Zhou Qi nodded slightly and said encouragingly: "New industries will always encounter various problems. I believe you can handle them and do a good job."

He said firmly: "I will let you reform. First, solve the personnel problem. Do not hesitate, keep the useful talents, and replace all the others."

"So the first priority is to recruit new people, especially remote talents. You need to ensure that there are enough people in various links such as local distribution, warehousing, loading and unloading, storage and installation."

Zhou Qi changed the subject: "Whether it is a shoe factory or an electrical appliance company, we have to do one big thing, cancel all existing cooperation and clear the market."

Hearing this, both of them showed surprised expressions. According to the current market situation, they can get back on track by simply adjusting personnel. Why give up the ready-made benefits?

Zhou Qi explained that the shoe factory will be integrated into the clothing business and expand into the national market through franchising; for electrical appliances, it plans to build an independent brand and no longer rely on Xiamei's distribution channels.

Therefore, both companies need to declare bankruptcy and rebuild their organizational structures.

The electrical appliance company will be renamed Hualong Electrical Appliances, and the brand name of the shoe factory still needs to be decided through consultation with Du Qianqian.

After hearing this, the two nodded in understanding.

Then Ma Yuancai asked: "Brother Qi, do you also plan to develop electrical appliances through the form of franchise stores?"

Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "The electrical appliance industry is different from the clothing industry. We have to rely on high-quality services to win the market. If we adopt the franchise model, it will not only be difficult to find suitable investors, but the subsequent management will also be very difficult."

"Hualong Electric must adopt the direct sales route," he said firmly, "and we will develop the market ourselves."

This means a lot of money, energy and human resources are required.

"We need to not only maintain the existing market, but also continuously expand into new areas." Zhou Qi continued, "Yuancai, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. We need to build a team that can fight tough battles."

Ma Yuancai's expression became serious after hearing this, and he felt a lot of pressure. After a little hesitation, he responded: "Brother Qi, I will do my best."

"It's not about trying your best, but about making sure you succeed." Zhou Qi looked him straight in the face and said, "I won't let you take all the responsibility for this alone. Compared to the shoe factory, the electrical appliance project requires more attention. After Gong Zheng has sorted out the shoe factory's affairs, we will focus on the electrical appliance business together."

Zhou Qi seemed to see through Ma Yuancai's doubts. "This is a brand new challenge. I know you may be a little worried. But don't be afraid. I won't let you do it unprepared."

Zhou Qi handed Ma Yuancai a folder, which detailed the development blueprint of the electrical appliance business: from personnel recruitment to training plans, to logistics team building, and even the choice of transportation.

This guide is a summary of Zhou Qi's years of experience, designed to ensure that every step can be implemented smoothly. He also sent a copy of the same material to Qiao Xueying, because the real core strategy is still hidden in his heart.

After more than an hour of in-depth discussion, Zhou Qi provided detailed guidance on the details.

Although facing huge challenges, they are full of confidence.

For Zhang Gongzheng and Ma Yuancai, this will be another important growth opportunity.

Zhou Qi believes that with the experience accumulated over the past year, they are fully capable of meeting this test.

Zhou Qi called Cao Qinquan into his office and got straight to the point: "What do you think of our company's financial situation?"

Cao Qinquan said frankly: "It's quite chaotic, and I feel a bit exhausted... Brother Qi, I think we need to add more people."

Recently, as the company's business continues to grow, Cao Qinquan is always buried in the account books and is almost invisible.

He insisted on checking every account personally to ensure that there were no mistakes.

However, in Zhou Qi's eyes, although this approach showed diligence and responsibility, it also exposed management deficiencies.

If the situation continues, Cao Qinquan will be even more overwhelmed, and the existing financial team will not be able to keep up with the company's rapid expansion.

"Adding more people is only part of the solution." Zhou Qi looked at Cao Qinquan and said, "Even if I give you more helpers, you will still feel a huge pressure at work. Do you know why?"

Cao Qinquan shook his head in confusion.

"Because you haven't mastered how to be an effective manager." Zhou Qi said in a serious tone, "Although your meticulousness and dedication are commendable, as a leader, your role should be to guide and optimize the entire team, not to do everything yourself. This will only make your colleagues dependent on you and prevent them from growing independently."

Cao Qinquan lowered his head and said softly: "I'm just worried that they will make mistakes."

"It's true that the accounts will eventually be summarized to you." Zhou Qi continued to explain, "but each member should be responsible for his or her own work. Once an error is found, it must be corrected in a timely manner and appropriate feedback must be given. What we need here is a rigorous and efficient team, not flowers in a greenhouse."

Hearing this, Cao Qinquan clenched his fists and said seriously: "I will work hard to change myself."
