Chapter 216 Surrender
In a company, most office workers should have had this experience: everything the boss or superior says or does about you can make you nervous. If he praises you, you can be happy for a long time, but if he says something unpleasant to you, you will feel indignant and think that work is a waste of life.

This is the invisible pressure exerted by the superior. When you get to that level one day, you can give a person great benefits, but you can also make him lose everything in an instant. Then, you will naturally be able to exert this kind of pressure on him. However, in a normal large company, relying on this kind of pressure to maintain one's authority is definitely not a good relationship between superiors and subordinates.

For Zhang Yunqi, this was a last resort. He was only a 17-year-old high school student. He was friendly when they first met. These old-timers who were used to working in state-owned enterprises would not take him seriously, let alone follow the example of their superiors and obey them absolutely. On the other hand, he needed to take advantage of the opportunity of Liansheng's acquisition of Longjingyuan to unite the scattered Longjingyuan cannery employees in a very short time and solve the problem of hundreds of thousands of canned goods being piled up.

This is the most difficult problem facing Liansheng right now.

Although Liansheng's facade project looks grand and upscale, it actually faces a very dangerous and difficult situation. The core problem is the limited funds. Liansheng raised 150 million yuan for construction, of which a Mercedes-Benz cost 75 yuan, a license plate cost 10 yuan, plus office rent and decoration according to Zhang Yunqi's high standards, which directly cost more than one million yuan.

Right now, Liansheng doesn't have much money in its account. It's useless to advertise in newspapers or on TV to sell canned food without money. However, if the accumulated canned food cannot be sold to recover some funds before the end of the year, the promise made to Mayor Yang Jiarong and the employees to resume production at the cannery on the eighth day of the first lunar month will be a joke.

But the Benz must be bought, and the decoration of Liansheng must be grand and upscale. If people in later generations are vain and boastful, then people nowadays are ignorant, vain and boastful! People always look at cars and clothes, not people.

Having a luxury car is definitely a symbol of status.

In the past, some employees of Longjingyuan Cannery had seen him and knew that he was Zhang Qiulan's younger brother, but only a few could connect a high school student like him with the identity of the new boss of Longjingyuan. Two days ago, Zhang Yunqi heard his brother-in-law Niu Fen tell him that some employees of the cannery were bragging to others about the transfer of the cannery to Liansheng, and they kept saying that they knew the new boss of our cannery drove a Mercedes-Benz worth millions, the only one in the whole Jiangchuan City!
Rich, right?

Zhang Yunqi himself cannot judge whether it is noble or not, but at least from this point it can be seen that so far, the employees of Longjingyuan Canning Factory are quite supportive of Liansheng.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Zhang Yunqi had to mobilize all the people in the Longjingyuan Cannery, use the human wave tactic, and work hard to sell canned food for him during the period before the New Year. Therefore, he first had to make the management of the Longjingyuan Cannery completely obey him as the new boss. If he couldn't convince them within a short period of time, then they had to surrender to him!

"Chief of the Finance Department, you need to distribute the wages to all employees of the cannery tomorrow. I also need a detailed financial statement of the cannery for the past two years and an asset inventory. Please contact Liansheng's finance department for the details."

"Chief of the Purchasing Department, you need to sort out the information of the cannery suppliers who owed money to me in the past, and sort them from highest to lowest in terms of the amount owed. Also, this part of your work will be managed by General Manager Niu Fenniu in the future."

"Chief of the Personnel Department, please formulate an attendance system for me. From tomorrow on, all employees must be on time for work. Employees who are unwilling to comply with the company's policy and sell canned food will have to clean the factory, weed, and sweep the roads. In short, please don't let me hear about any employee staying at home or going out to sell sweet potatoes and barbecue to earn extra money. Otherwise, please submit your resignation report to me directly!"...

Orders were given one after another, and apart from Zhang Yunqi's voice, the only words heard in the conference room were "received".

There is no more questioning, no more excuses.

At the end of the meeting, Zhang Yunqi asked Zhang Qiulan to come up with the most important canned food sales incentive plan tonight: "I have only one requirement, the incentive plan must be generous and must be able to fully mobilize the sales enthusiasm of employees. Let's do this, starting with 10 points and reaching 25 points. There will be additional cash rewards for selling a certain amount, and it will be done in a step-by-step manner. Mr. Zhang, please come up with the plan before 7 o'clock tonight. After I review it, I will hand it over to the Longjingyuan Publicity Department to distribute it to every employee tomorrow."

The section chiefs of the Longjingyuan Cannery who were present listened to Zhang Yunqi's unquestionable instructions throughout the whole process, and each of them straightened their backs. They could be said to have appreciated the generosity, grandeur and courage of this young new boss of the cannery. The series of dazzling promotional methods and the extremely high commission method mentioned above were completely a bully who did not consider the cost!
You know, the prices of canned products on the market have been falling again and again, and the profits are extremely low. If their boss does this, it will be impossible for them to make any money.

Of course, having said that, let’s just talk about the situation of their Longjingyuan Cannery. If the cans are piled up in the warehouse and cannot be sold, they won’t be able to get a penny back when they expire. So, even if they sell them at a loss now, at least they can quickly clear the inventory and cash in, and recover some funds.

If Li Jilin dared to do this when he was in charge, the canned food would not be completely unsalable. With the funds, Longjingyuan might still have a way out. Unfortunately, he did not have the courage to burn his boats, nor did he have the strong determination and firmness of the new boss.

Everyone present here is a long-time employee of Longjingyuan. They know clearly what problems the cannery has. But when it comes to how to solve the problems, everyone has their own opinions and can talk about them all day and all night. However, one thing is clear: Longjingyuan Cannery, as a "broken factory" that has just been acquired and has near-negative net assets, really needs such a strong and decisive leader if it wants to revive.

Just like at this moment, the young man sitting in the chief position does not care about those tangled and confusing issues at all. He completely trusts his own judgment and makes decisions directly. The people below only need to execute them, instead of holding meetings every day and arguing with each other as before. Li Jilin is in a dilemma and is indecisive. It is difficult to implement an instruction he issues. How can the factory develop under such circumstances?
When leaving the meeting room, the management of Longjingyuan Cannery no longer had the loud talk as when they arrived. Some section chiefs were worried, some frowned, and some were full of confidence.

Under the leadership of this strong and opinionated boss, Longjingyuan's future has ushered in a new turn. They have also deeply felt that the leisurely days of drinking tea and reading newspapers every day are gone forever, and what they will face next is elimination or further development.

Especially when they took the elevator to the entrance of Yanquan Building, ready to attend the banquet prepared by Liansheng at Chunhua Hotel, and saw the black Mercedes-Benz S08.88888 with the license plate of Hunan 320 appear at the gate to pick up their young boss, the feeling was particularly strong.
