The people had arrived, and Dong Shuheng was about to start his own plan. He first called Ji Mingshan and gave him a stack of materials. Then he said to him: "You don't have to look at these materials in a hurry. When you leave, I will first
I give you 500 taels of silver. The first thing you have to do is recruit people. You can recruit people from the three religions and nine streams in the city. The other thing is to make friends with various gangs. As for how to make friends, of course you have to spend money. Don’t be reluctant to spend money.
You want others to think you are stupid and rich."
Ji Mingshan was confused when he heard that. The big shopkeeper called me here so formally. It turned out that he wanted me to spend money. If I go, our young master must have gone crazy.
"There is no need to doubt that the money you spend now will be valuable in the future. You have to remember that adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in times of need. You must gain a group of loyal subordinates by helping those who are desperate. I won't go into details. Just follow the instructions I gave.
If your plan is implemented, you will be the Minister of the Ministry of Information from now on, oh, equivalent to the current shopkeeper."
Ji Mingshan left with a puzzled look on his face. He also took away his first task, which was to investigate the whereabouts of Manager Zhu from another hospital.
Dong Shuheng called Liu Mingyuan in again and handed a chart to Liu Mingyuan. Liu Mingyuan glanced at it quickly and asked: "I changed the name of my family's business to a company. I know that the foreigners in Shanghai all call it that, but here.
The department is old and doesn’t understand very well.”
"Huaihai Group Company is what we will call ourselves in the future. This will make it easier for us to deal with foreigners in the future. The office below mainly serves the general manager and chairman, drafting documents, uploading and issuing them. You can imagine it as a document, and you can try to get a high salary.
Recruit some teachers. The Finance Department is responsible for the flow of funds and budget settlement, which is equivalent to the accounting office. The Education and Training Department is mainly responsible for the training of employees. Later we will establish some schools that will also be managed by this department. The Human Resources Department is responsible for recruiting talents and personnel.
Salary, assessment management. The business department is mainly responsible for future business docking with each branch. The science and technology department is responsible for the research and development accumulation of technology. The external relations department is responsible for the company’s external contacts. The information department is responsible for information collection and sorting. The publicity department is responsible for external publicity...
"
Dong Shuheng spoke out the management structure of the family business in his mind in one breath. In fact, the original model can also do these things. But he is just lazy and has made the division of labor more detailed, so that it will be more convenient for him to assign tasks in the future.
"Uncle Mingyuan, you have called all the business managers over in the past few days, and also compiled a list of their specialties and introduced them to me. Ask everyone to come to Dongtai, and we will hold a meeting together to decide on the personnel. In addition, I will also
I want to tell you about the next development plan.”
"One more thing. In the past few days, you have arranged for someone to go to a trading house in Shanghai and ask my third uncle to buy a batch of muskets. Remember to ask the Prussians if they have Dreiser firing needle guns for sale, and if the Americans have any Ko
Erte revolvers are for sale. If there are any, try to buy as many as possible, the price is not a problem."
"I don't understand this, but I will ask someone to tell you. I wonder what the boss wants these firearms for?"
"It will be useful soon." Dong Shuheng looked out the window and said leisurely, "The sky is going to change!"
In the next few days, Dong Shuheng waited for news at home. When he had nothing to do, he would tell stories to the little girl Hui'er. The little girl Hui'er was fascinated by all kinds of fairy tales from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and she pestered Dong Shuheng every day.
Not leaving. She even secretly crawled into Dong Shuheng's bed at night. As for Dong Shuheng taking the opportunity to ask for reward, the little girl had nothing to offer, so she could only promise her with her body. I won't go into details about it.
Today, Inspector Zhang is hosting a banquet at his home. Huang Hao, as Zhang Menglong’s best friend, naturally comes to support him. However, Huang Hao’s gift today is very heavy, which makes Inspector Zhang smile from ear to ear. At this time, Zhang Menglong took the opportunity to say: “Dad, Dong
The second son of the family humiliated Mr. Huang and I last time, obviously he doesn't take you seriously. No matter what, you have to make the decision for your child."
"You brat, you know how to cause trouble for me. Now that Yangzhou City has been occupied by bandits, everyone must be careful. If you touch the Dong family at this time, it will easily attract the attention of others!"
"However, the governor has recently asked various localities to organize groups to train to the west to help recover Yangzhou City. We can find an excuse to send him away."
Huang and Zhang looked at each other and smiled. When the time comes, we put him away and knead him how we want. Aren't we the ones who have the final say?
At this time, the Dong Family Courtyard was also bustling with people, and stewards from various cabinets, salt fields, caravans, and farms were gathered together. Dong Shuheng hired a carpenter to build a huge circular conference table and placed it in the main hall. There was a large red paper written on the back.
The words "Huaihai Group's First Annual Meeting" were printed.
The bosses couldn't help complaining about how capable the young boss was, and how there was no respect for superiors and subordinates. In the end, everyone had to leave the seat facing the door to the boss, and the others sat further away on both sides in order of seniority.
"You are all elders who have worked hard with my father for many years. I am not talented, but I have inherited my father's ambition. I can't help but thank you for supporting my work. First of all, what I want to say is that from now on, all employees of my company will
There is no damage to the company's interest, and the company is responsible for their pension and the education of their children."
There was a loud bang below, and everyone was shocked. Isn't this an iron rice bowl? You must know that even officials in this era do not have such benefits.
"Of course, specific benefits will be stipulated after the new Ministry of Manpower is established. Here I can tell you in advance that I will also give old employees shares in the company in the future. I hope everyone can regard Huaihai Group as their own
family, and eventually it will become a company common to all of us.”
I remembered the warm applause below, and several old shopkeepers were even moved to tears. The boss is really kind and righteous. With such a boss, one would be willing to sell his life.
Dong Shuheng also introduced some new company structures and management models to everyone. To put it bluntly, the head office is the brain of the company. Managing branches through various departments can effectively strengthen the control of branches.
Talking about the company's management to a bunch of old-timers, boss Dong Shuheng lost his energy. Dong Shuheng divided the group's business into Huaihai Shipping Company, Huaihai Salt Company, Huaihai Trading Company, and foreign trade was listed separately as an import and export company.
.In addition, there is Huaihai Agricultural Company, which is divided into various farms, grain processing plants, and food factories.
The most troublesome thing is the selection of managers for each department and company. The head office has Dong Shuheng as the chairman and Liu Mingyuan as the general manager, who are directly responsible to the chairman. Finally, the managers of each department were selected after screening. The process is not intense. People in this era
They are still relatively humble. Most people still do what they are best at. The main reason is that Dong Shuheng really lacks talents now.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Qingnan became the Minister of the Ministry of Security. He may be the first person in history to be promoted from the Minister of Security to the Minister of Defense.
This meeting can be said to be a unity meeting and a victory meeting. The meeting gathered the hearts of the old managers of the family business and clarified the direction of future development - saving the country through industry.
The Huaihai Group, which will dominate the global market from now on, was born. In the near future, it will surpass the giant British East India Company.
After the meeting, Dong Shuheng retained the Minister of Manpower. He was a middle-aged man in his forties named Zhu Alin, a native of Shanghai. He once worked as a human being. He was good at observing people's words, he was sophisticated, and he was very familiar with the rules of the local governments.
In order to understand, Dong Shuheng appointed him as the Minister of Human Resources.
"Minister Zhu, I am keeping you here to give you a task. Take people to Shanghai as quickly as possible to find an American named "Wal" in Chinese. He is 22 years old and was born in Marseille.
Zhuzhou. If the information matches up, it’s basically correct.”
"After you find him, you have to hire him into the company with a salary he can't refuse."
"Also, you go to Hangzhou Yu Bank to find a 20-year-old streetwalker named Hu Guangyong, recruit him to our company, and say that I will treat him as a manager."
After sending away the Minister of Manpower, he called Liu Mingyuan and Liu Qingnan in.
"What happened to the musket that Uncle Mingyuan asked you to buy before?"
"My boss, the guns were just shipped through Tongzhou today. Because of the banditry, the Shanghai Yangren & Foreign Company has quite a lot of stock. However, the Qing government is financially tight and did not buy much, so it is easy for us to buy this time."
"We bought 500 of the Dreiser striker guns you mentioned, each for 15 taels of silver, and another front-loading rifle gun for 10 taels of silver. We bought 1,000 of them. I didn't want to buy them at first, but the other party wanted to package them for sale. You
The Colt revolver mentioned costs 12 taels of silver each. We bought 500 of them from Qichang Foreign Company. In addition, this Qichang Foreign Company is willing to cooperate with us for a long time. The Prussian Dove Foreign Company said that Dreiser
There is no use for breech-loading rifles now. They are willing to assign instructors to us, and of course we have to pay the salary. We have also contacted the British side, but the arrogant British people think that we are a non-governmental organization and do not agree to trade with us. This time we added
We spent a total of more than 50,000 taels of ammunition."
After calling Liu Qingnan and bringing more than 30 guards from the Security Department, Dong Shuheng and his party arrived at a warehouse in the suburbs.
This is a remote location on the outskirts of Dong's farm, sparsely populated. The warehouse was originally used to store grain, but now one of the granaries is filled with long wooden boxes.
Dong Shuheng ordered his men to pry open a box, which was filled with Colt revolvers. Each pistol had five cylinders.
He opened the second box, which contained a brand-new Dreiser striker gun. The strong smell of gun oil was pungent. This gun was very close to the rifles of later generations, and the bayonets on the gun were neatly stacked on the side.
Several boxes of bullets were moved to the nearby warehouse. The current Colt pistol uses paper-cased fixed ammunition, which is not very fast to load, but this gun can fire continuously and is very powerful. It is really a close combat weapon.
The copper-cased fixed-loading ammunition used by Dreiser can effectively alleviate the problem of air leakage in the bullet chamber, but in the future we will need to buy several bullet production lines from the Prussians. Before that, we must first go to Shanghai to recruit a group of weapons manufacturing workers to
Build your own weapons workshop.
During this period, Shanghai was full of explorers from the West. They were said to be explorers, but in fact they were no different from vagrants. Most of these people could not survive in their own countries and came to Shanghai to see if they could make a pot of gold. Therefore,
Dong Shuheng is not worried about not being able to recruit people. As long as you have money, you can recruit any kind of people. Moreover, people in this era are still very professional. If you give them money, they will work for you. Everyone has a national consciousness.
