Chapter 416: 411, The Crazy Qinghe Group (First Update)_1

Ren He and Mrs. Ren’s arrival caused the originally busy work rhythm to pause for a moment, to be honest, the staffers of Qinghe hadn’t expected the big boss to suddenly show up in the evening.

Ren He led Mrs. Ren to the conference room, and within five minutes, more than thirty people had entered in single file. Originally Qinghe had only 21 senior executives, but as of two days ago, 18 had resigned and another 18 had been promoted to fill their places, so now there were 39 in total.

Although 18 bigwigs from the Qinghe Faction had left Qinghe Group to become partners of Qinghe’s faction, under the current situation where Qinghe still held controlling stakes in all its subsidiaries, everyone still considered themselves a part of Qinghe, like Cheng Shanshui, whose heart was clear as a mirror.

Even if they went out to raise funds on their own, at this juncture in 2007, it was delusional to think they could raise 10 million just based on their word. And who could know what intentions these major investors who provided the funding harbored?

In the capital world, grinding down the donkey once it’s finished milling is not a rare occurrence, and the extent to which their own shareholding would be diluted was foreseeable.

And to be honest, their understanding of the internet’s future compared to the real mastermind behind Qinghe paled in comparison; it could be said that even among the leaders within the Qinghe Faction, a sense of admiration existed.

So Qinghe remained Qinghe, and the big boss was still the big boss!

After everyone had arrived, nobody knew what play the big boss was putting on, and who was the middle-aged woman sitting to the right of the big boss? Judging from her demeanor, she too seemed like someone accustomed to being in a high position.

Could it be a senior executive hired from outside by the big boss? It probably wasn’t, as everyone clearly understood how much the big boss valued internal development, especially caring about the inheritance of corporate culture.

What is the inheritance of corporate culture? It is the degree to which every Qinghe employee identifies with Qinghe’s corporate culture and philosophy, so that everyone can work together in the same direction.

Executives from outside usually experience discomfort with the company culture and may even resist it. Ren He wouldn’t want the whole collective to suffer for the sake of one person.

The position of the head of human resources had been vacant, and someone had suggested that Ren He just hire someone from the outside, but Ren He had always disagreed, instead promoting an old employee, Shi Yan, from within. At first, he wasn’t accustomed to the position, but now he had taken to it with ease.

Among the remaining three bigwigs were Shi Yan, responsible for personnel work, Wang Yihan for finance, and Huo Yuhao for administrative work.

These three positions had always been internal, and there wasn’t much point in them going out and starting businesses...

Xu Nuo, on the other hand, was the president as well as a shareholder and was not included in these 21 people.

So who could this person be? To move to such lengths to summon everyone here, and even he himself had no idea.

Little did they know, Mrs. Ren was also feeling a bit awkward. She had always sat in Ren He’s seat, and sitting to the side today felt both novel and gave her a unique sense of pride.

Ren He laughed, "Aren’t all of you going back for the New Year? Does starting a business excite you so much? I remember last New Year, out of the 21 executives, 17 took a vacation, right?"

"Aren’t we waiting for the big boss to come and offer us comfort, and there’s also the high overtime pay from Qinghe," Cheng Shanshui said with a smile.

"Hey," Ren He glanced at him teasingly, "What did we agree on before? You are going to be a partner, a shareholder, why are you still concerned about me paying your salary?"

"You’re rich. We’ve invested all our savings, and if you don’t pay us, we’ll starve," another person joked, "And you must set a high salary for us. I see myself in a dual role - one as an entrepreneur and the other as Qinghe’s employee. I’m committed to this place."

Ren He was amused. He knew this was also their way of showing loyalty. In other companies, there were few who dared to haggle with the boss over salary, but he didn’t lack that amount of money. You commit to Qinghe, and Qinghe will commit to you.

In Qinghe, the logic is simple.

Mrs. Ren, who was part of it all, found it the most novel. Who would dare be so brazen about negotiating with the boss at Luohe Group? Not to mention Qinghe, in 99% of Chinese companies, people wouldn’t dare to do it, as talking about money with the boss is generally taboo.

If you bring up money, isn’t it awkward for everyone if the boss doesn’t give it to you? And even if the boss gives it, he feels the pinch.

Ren He was the one who wouldn’t feel that pinch. After all, these people were working for him. Compared to the future prospects of these 18 subsidiaries, paying a bit more for executive salaries right now didn’t matter much.

He first talked about some other matters, then Ren He said to Huo Yuhao, responsible for administrative work, "Our Qinghe residential district’s construction schedule must have a reverse time table. You don’t need to send it to me, but if you don’t finish on time, it’s going to cost you your bonus."

"I guarantee we’ll complete the task. What if we finish early, is there a reward?" Huo Yuhao also joked, even though everyone was working overtime during the New Year, everyone was still in good spirits, and they were used to joking with Ren He.

"Yes, there is a reward. The reward is all your colleagues at Qinghe will thank you!" Ren He redirected the topic with a laugh, "Let me make it clear, Qinghe may only have over a thousand employees now, but you all understand the prospects. Regardless of how the future company turns out, the employees in these 18 subsidiaries of Qinghe Group will all be treated equally."

"We’ve really invested a good amount in this land. Now, there’s no company in Luo City that has the guts to obtain land like us; even Luohe Group doesn’t have our courage," Ren He said with a smile, glancing at Mrs. Ren.

Mrs. Ren had complex feelings. She wasn’t angry at all, just felt her son had grown up too fast. Sitting here, chatting and laughing so effortlessly seemed as if he was naturally meant to sit there.

It was a unique leadership quality.

Ren He continued, "The employee apartments must be built to a high standard. If you cut corners now, the staff will curse behind your back later. Remember our policy, the houses are ultimately for employees to grow old in. I don’t want to see bunk beds or the kind of public toilets like in unscrupulous factories. There must be toilets installed because that is their home."

"Unmarried employees under 25 will share a room in pairs, but those who are married or over 25 must each have a single room," Ren He went into such detail because he was worried Huo Yuhao would be too thrift-minded for the company’s sake. In 2007, that wouldn’t save much money, hardly enough for the employees’ wages.
