Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1295, Section 1300: Names and tools cannot be lent to others.
The dazzling fireworks illuminated the faces of Tao Yan, Jiang Suyi, and countless others at the annual meeting. Tao Yan felt that this fireworks show was the most beautiful she had ever seen in all her years.

Perhaps many years from now, people will still remember the New Year's Eve fireworks show in 1999!

After the annual meeting ended, the celebrity fans who had traveled from afar left one after another, while the employees of Dongling Hi-Tech could choose to have a banquet at the Dongling Hi-Tech production base.

Of course, this is not mandatory. You can also choose to go home and receive a few kilograms of beef and mutton, a box of milk, and other prizes from the logistics department, and then you can enjoy the Spring Festival holiday.

As for those who choose to attend the banquet, each person can draw a prize once, mainly depending on their luck and fortune.

If it's a lottery, you're guaranteed to win something, but the prizes vary. Consolation prizes include Bandai and Pop Mart figurines, 50 RMB shopping vouchers for Oriental Times Mall, and tickets to Yuhe Leisure Resort.

If you're lucky, you might have a chance to win a Hasee Global Pass mobile phone, a Hasee 2nd generation computer, a Hasee A1 all-in-one machine, a Hasee electronic dictionary, a repeater, or a Feiyan MP3 player.

There are also products from a number of companies under Dongke, such as Guangwei's carbon fiber fishing rods, Founder computers, Huaqi's Aigo MP3 players, Lingyun printers, Zorro lighters, and BackJoy products.

Basically, it is guaranteed that no one who participates in the lottery will leave empty-handed. In addition, the grand prize is a Santana sedan and a residential unit in Oriental Garden!

There was no inside story behind this lottery; it was all based on luck. Since senior executives of Dongling High-Tech were prohibited from participating in the lottery at the annual meeting, these prizes were irrelevant to them, so they naturally didn't bother with them.

If you're lucky, even if you just joined Dongling Hi-Tech yesterday, as long as you win the grand prize, you can still get a quota to buy a house in Dongfang Jiayuan. Dongling Hi-Tech will honor that and will never be unable to afford it.

After all, someone with such luck is practically a chosen one, the kind who can win a million-dollar lottery prize. Placing someone like that at Dongling High-Tech might bring some good fortune to the company.

Therefore, after the annual meeting, most of Dongling Hi-Tech's employees boarded buses arranged by the company's logistics department to go to the production base for a banquet.

The annual banquet of Dongling High-Tech has a very high standard, with roast lamb, roast suckling pig, and hairy crabs being provided.

Aside from the fact that you might only get one meal a year, or maybe just a few meals a year, the rest is just a matter of "what if"—if you're lucky, you might get a car and a house!

Li Dongling, Ren Yuefeng, Gao Peng, Hu Zixian, and other senior executives of Dongling High-Tech were all present at the banquet.

"A salute to everyone, a salute to Dongling High-Tech!"

At the banquet, Li Dashan raised his glass to the employees of Dongling High-Tech present.

When they saw Li Dashan raise his glass, the atmosphere changed abruptly, and all the employees of Dongling High-Tech stood up.

Since ancient times, routines have always been popular. It doesn't matter if these routines are old or not, as long as they work.

Imagine how you would feel if the company founder, the richest man in Asia, raised his glass to you at a banquet.
Moreover, this person offers a salary that exceeds that of their peers, along with various benefits and perks every year. If needed, if one spouse works at Dongling Hi-Tech, the other spouse can also be helped by Dongling Hi-Tech to find a suitable job.

As long as the child goes to school, Dongling High-Tech will provide a subsidy and a free medical check-up for one family every year.

Imagine if such a big spender raised a glass to you right now, how would you feel?
Li Dongling and Ren Yuefeng toasted with the people at the banquet. Even though they only drank one cup of wine at each table, after about ten tables, Li Dashanren had drunk quite a lot of wine. The remaining tables were left to other executives to drink, otherwise Li Dashanren would have been drunk to the point of passing out and probably wouldn't have been able to finish the rounds.

"Old Hu, next year will be a very special year. Dongling High-Tech needs you to stay!"

After sitting down and eating a few bites of food, Li Dongling turned to Hu Zixian beside him and said...

Since joining Dongling High-Tech, Hu Zixian has been the chief steward of Dongling High-Tech. Skilled warriors do not have outstanding achievements. Outside of Dongling High-Tech, Hu Zixian's reputation is far less than that of Zhang Ao and others.

But Hu Zixian is definitely the most crucial figure in Dongling Hi-Tech. He controls the company's finances, and Dongling Hi-Tech's cash flow has been running smoothly over the years, with enough cash flow in its accounts to sustain the company for more than three years.

Furthermore, during the Southeast Asian financial crisis, Hu Zixian's finance department was involved in Dongling Hi-Tech's cash flow reserves, the sale of Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service), and the acquisition of Gangcheng Telecom.

The fact that he was able to complete all these projects without any problems demonstrates Hu Zixian's capabilities.

"Mr. Li!"

People speak the truth when they're drunk. Looking at the smell of alcohol on Li Dashanren's face, Hu Zixian knew that Li Dashanren wasn't playing any tricks on him.

"The financial management pressure at Dongling Hi-Tech is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm finding it hard to keep up with the energy!"

Hu Zixian smiled wryly and said to Li Dongling that he had a lot of financial experience, but he was getting old after all, and he had to handle all kinds of finances for Dongling High-Tech's domestic and overseas companies and operations centers.

This took a toll on Hu Zixian's energy. He had experienced great ups and downs and knew when to advance and retreat. For Hu Zixian, retiring at the peak of his career was the best option.

Holding the position of General Manager of the Finance Department at Dongling Hi-Tech, Hu Zixian will face an increasingly large workload. If his abilities and energy cannot keep up, being ousted in the end would be a loss of face. Hu Zixian wants to leave gracefully. After all, in the years he has been with Dongling Hi-Tech, he has achieved financial freedom and will be set for life. Hu Zixian is already content.

"Let's work for another two years!"

Li Dongling tossed a cigarette to Hu Zixian and lit it for him himself.

Finance and human resources are the most important means for Li Dashanren to control Dongling High-Tech. The appointment of managers requires Li Dashanren's personal signature, which ensures Li Dongling's control over the senior management of Dongling High-Tech.

Needless to say, only the most trusted confidants can be appointed to the finance position.

An army marches on its stomach. Whether it's a military campaign or a company, whatever you do, you need funding. Controlling funding means controlling the initiative.

However, Li Dongling must not entrust his name and position to others, nor can he entrust personnel and finances to others.

Next year, Dongling Hi-Tech will begin to cash out its shares in internet companies on a large scale, and the year after that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the bubble will burst.

These matters involve large sums of money and require experienced professionals to handle. If a new general manager of the finance department were to take over, it would take an unknown amount of time just to understand and become familiar with the finances.

Expecting Dongling High-Tech to work together seamlessly to exploit investors is probably asking too much.

"Two years from now, Dongling High-Tech will hold a grand retirement banquet for you, Lao Hu. You will still be one of Dongling High-Tech's own people and an honorary member of Dongling High-Tech's board of directors!"

"The board of directors of Dongling High-Tech will also give Lao Hu a retirement gift befitting your status!" Li Dongling said, looking at Hu Zixian.

Hu Zixian took a deep drag of his cigarette, turned the tobacco in his hand into ash, and then nodded emphatically.

Li Dongling poured a glass of wine into Hu Zixian's glass, then raised his glass. Hu Zixian raised his glass, clinked it against Li Dongling's, and they both drank it down.

"Old Hu, could you recommend a new general manager for the finance department?"

Li Dongling's words demonstrated his utmost trust in Hu Xian; the fact that he was allowed to recommend the next finance general manager spoke volumes.

Hu Zixian did not refuse; there were still two years, enough time for him to select a qualified person.

Li Dongling breathed a sigh of relief after retaining Hu Zixian. How Hu Zixian would retire was very important to Dongling High-Tech.

At the very least, the executives at Dongling High-Tech will be watching how Li Dashan (Li Dashan) handles Hu Zixian's retirement.

Therefore, Li Dongling will give Hu Zixian a dignified retirement ceremony. In addition, he will also give him the dividends, bonuses, and gifts that are due. With him as a model, future executives of Dongling High-Tech will have a reference point to refer to when they retire, knowing that the philanthropist Li will not do the kind of thing of discarding someone after they have served their purpose.

Ren Yuefeng witnessed the scene between Li Dongling and Hu Zixian. Retirement was still too far away for Ren Yuefeng. At his age, as long as Li Dashanren didn't feel that he was no longer useful, Ren Yuefeng wouldn't need to consider retirement for at least ten years.

But Ren Yuefeng couldn't help but wonder what it would be like when he retired.
For a professional manager, being able to retire with dignity is already quite difficult. More often than not, performance declines or problems arise, making them scapegoats, leading to their dismissal and the end of their careers.

"Next year, the administrative departments will introduce a new management and review system."

This management system will incorporate modern and internet-based office systems, and it must be fair to the majority of Dongling High-Tech employees!

Expecting absolute fairness is impossible, not only now, but even decades from now, it will not be possible.

As long as it is relatively fair and fair to the majority of people, then it is already quite acceptable.

"The new management and review system should improve performance and promotion assessments so that most capable people can stand out from this management system."

"We can invite domestic and overseas business consulting firms, social science institutes, accounting firms and other organizations to participate."

We don't need to copy the management systems of those large overseas companies. Instead, we need to develop a management system that is suitable for Dongling Hi-Tech 2.0 within the next ten years, based on Dongling Hi-Tech's needs and characteristics.

In the future, Dongling High-Tech's management and auditing system will be readjusted every ten years!

Li Dongling said that building such a management system would inevitably cost a lot of money, but it would be worth it for Dongling High-Tech.
