A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 185 Pros and Cons of Professional Managers

Uncle Lin was very satisfied with the meal. He was still picking his teeth and savoring the deliciousness of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and steamed yellow croaker.

After Lin Sanqi brewed another cup of 50-year-old tangerine peel tea, Uncle Lin suddenly fell into deep thought, then nodded and said:

"Asen, it seems that your family has really become successful. You eat top-quality ingredients and sell top-quality medicinal materials. Now even the dried tangerine peel is top-quality. With this standard of living, even Chen Jitang, the Southern Heavenly King, was not as impressive as you."

Lin Musen smiled lightly, "It's all Qizi's fault. Rely on me. You'll be a barefoot doctor for the rest of your life."

Uncle Lin looked at Lin Sanqi, with a rare look of confusion in his eyes:

"Qizi, did you have any adventure? Or did you get in touch with someone and become someone's white glove? Let me tell you, white gloves are harder to make than black gloves. If you make a mistake, you will be doomed. You are still young, so think twice."

Lin Sanqi nodded repeatedly and said calmly:

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I do have a special opportunity to do this business. I can't tell you now, but I will definitely tell you when I have the chance in the future. But since we have to do business, my father and I are still very worried now."

Uncle Lin took a sip of the tangerine peel tea, savored it carefully for a long time, and then said leisurely:

"I can see that you are the boss of your family now. Tell me, what's the problem? Grandpa has walked more roads than you have walked over bridges, so maybe he can give you some advice."

Uncle Lin’s biggest hobby is to be a boss. It would be best if all the villagers would come to him for help when they have any problems in their careers or families, and then he would act as a referee. This way, the importance of him as the old patriarch can be highlighted.

Lin Sanqi knew exactly what was wrong with the old man.

"Grandpa, you can see that my dad is not suitable for doing business. First, he has no experience, and second, he is not bad enough. A dishonest businessman is a dishonest businessman. There is no business without dishonesty. How can you become a businessman without dishonesty?

I am young and have no business experience. It is easy for people to look down on me when I go out to discuss business. What is more important is that I need to organize the supply of medicinal materials and food ingredients, which requires traveling all over the country. I have no time to run the business. "

Uncle Lin nodded in agreement:

"Yes, I've seen that a long time ago, so I've been helping you build your business. Isn't the photography building in Plaza de Mayo being renovated?"

Lin Sanqi smiled bitterly:
"Grandpa, plans cannot keep up with changes. Our family's business will not be limited to Cordyceps and Angong Niuhuang Pills in the future, so the area of ​​the photography building is far from enough."

Uncle Lin was shocked when he heard this:
"No way, all this Cordyceps can make you billionaires, what other business can your family do?"

Lin Sanqi thought for a moment and explained:
"I have a channel to get a batch of top-quality Nanri abalone, all of which are single-headed abalone and double-headed abalone. In addition, I can also get a batch of fish maw, including golden sturgeon fish maw from previous years. The most common ones are red-billed sturgeon fish maw, white fish maw, and house fish maw.

I also have shark fins, the top-quality ones such as Tianjiu shark fin, Haihu shark fin, and Jin Gou shark fin. Not to mention tangerine peel, I am not bragging, I can get tangerine peel from any year. "

Uncle Lin was surprised and a little bit unbelieving, but when he thought about the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall he had just eaten and looked at the 50-year-old tangerine peel tea on the table, he couldn't help but believe it.

Even Lin Peidong couldn't produce 50-year-old Xinhui dried tangerine peel.

"Qizi, if you can really get these treasures, you won't have any trouble selling them. Grandpa is not bragging, as long as Grandpa helps you spread the word, rich people in Huadu will rush to buy them, what are you worried about?
Business is difficult because competition is too fierce, but only low-end products have fierce competition because anyone can get the supply. But top-quality ingredients and top-quality medicinal materials are different because they are scarce, so how can rich people miss them? "

Lin Sanqi took a small stool and sat next to Uncle Lin, worrying:

"Uncle, this is the problem. We can't limit our business to a family workshop. Even if we open a boutique store on the second floor of a photography building, it's still a small store. It's hard for ordinary people to trust that our store can produce any top-quality goods.

Grandpa, you will not forget how my house was smashed a few months ago. It was because the Zhou family thought that the village Chinese medicine clinic was low-class and was trying to cheat them out of their money. If my family was a big company, I wonder if they would be suspicious. "

Uncle Lin thought so too. He knew whether the Lin family’s food and medicinal materials were good, and he could also introduce some old friends to them.

But others don’t know that it is difficult for those top wealthy people to trust a small street shop. Even if you take out Cordyceps King, people will think it is fake.

"Qizi, you must have some ideas, tell me, Grandpa will give you some advice."

"Grandpa, I want to ask if you know anyone who can help you run your business? In the future, we will definitely have to operate as a company and formalize our business. We need to make Lingnan Hall famous and enter the high-end market. We can't just rely on me and my dad."

"Oh, you're looking for a professional manager, right?"

"Yes, that's understandable."

In fact, Shilou Village itself has many professional managers. After all, with so many office buildings to be rented out, daily maintenance, etc., all require professional teams to operate.

The elders of the clan committee like Uncle Lin can be the controllers of the group company.

But middle-level managers like department managers are generally hired from outside, and professional matters must be left to professionals. This is a very popular village-level management model in Dongguan Province.

Uncle Lin had other concerns:
"Looking for a professional manager is also very risky. From what you said, all your business will be managed by a manager in the future. The manager will have control over all your sales channels and personal connections. If he changes jobs and takes all your business with him, what will you do?"

It is better abroad, but in China, there are many cases where professional managers set up their own business and drive out their old employers. One reason is the lack of contractual spirit, the second is that the relevant laws on non-competition are not well enforced, and the third is that everyone wants to be the boss and is unwilling to be inferior to others.

Like in many time-travel novels, the character travels back to the 8s and 90s and recruits Ma Yun and Liu Qiangdong as his younger brothers, and then willingly becomes his subordinate and manages the business for the main character.

It is impossible in real life.

Heroes like Ma Yun and Liu Qiangdong will never be willing to be inferior to others. They will definitely start their own businesses. They have the abilities and ambitions to not be able to work for others.

This is why there are so many family businesses in the South. Although they are well aware of the drawbacks of family businesses, they would rather the business not grow and develop than hire outsiders. This has a lot to do with the low credibility of professional managers.

After all, if a professional manager has ulterior motives, he will take away the pot together and leave nothing for you.

Lin Sanqi was indifferent to Grandpa's concerns:

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about this, because I have all the raw material procurement channels in my hands, and I won't tell anyone else about the source of the goods. If a professional manager wants to change jobs or work on his own in the future, how can he do so without the goods in his hands?"

Lin Sanqi is very sure about this, because he traveled through time from 59 to sell goods. Who in this world can poach his customers?

Uncle Lin laughed out loud when he saw how confident his nephew was.

"Sly, so this is what you are thinking. It seems that you already have a complete plan in mind. I am relieved. In the start-up stage, you don't have to be afraid of small-scale planning. Only by taking steady steps can you make steady progress.

The most frightening thing about starting a business is that the plan is too big. Before the foundation is laid, you want to conquer the whole country, go beyond Asia, and rush to the world. In the end, it will definitely be a mess, and it is not worth my help. "

Lin Sanqi's eyes lit up: "Grandpa, do you have a good candidate to recommend to me?"

Uncle Lin took out his cell phone with a proud look on his face:

"Boy, there are more than 3000 Lin clan members in our Shilou Village, and more than relatives all over the world. Isn't it easy to find some management talents? Don't worry about your family."

After saying this, Uncle Lin has already dialed the phone:
"Ahua, where are you? Something's up. I'm waiting for you at the ancestral hall..."

Lin Musen suddenly asked from the side: "Grandpa, are you looking for Lao Shi?"

"Yes, Ah Hua resigned from Hutouben China a few days ago because of some unpleasant things with foreigners. He has been a professional salesman for decades and has been a senior executive in a car company. He has the ability and connections, and he is also a family member. What do you think?"

Lin Tianhua is the tenth child of Lin Musen's generation. He is one year younger than Lin Musen, and the two have been brothers since childhood.

After graduating from university, Lin Tianhua first worked as a teacher. Later, he went into business and worked for several large companies. Finally, he joined Mercedes-Benz and worked his way up to become the general manager of Mercedes-Benz South China Region.

He can be considered a local lord in the automobile industry.

In the end, he resigned in anger due to an unpleasant encounter with a senior executive due to internal company strife and team-taking issues.

Of course, Lin Sanqi also knew this "Uncle Benz Hua". The villagers of Shilou Village liked to buy Mercedes-Benz when they had money, and they could always get the lowest discount from Lin Tianhua.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Shilou Village is a well-known Mercedes-Benz Village.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Lin Musen’s family before. There are rich and poor in every village, and there are even beggars in Dubai.

Lin Tianhua came very quickly.

On a hot day, he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, suit pants, a blue tie, his hair was done up in a somewhat irreverent way, and with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his first impression was that of a "career elite."

On the other hand, Uncle Lin, Lin Musen, Lin Sanqi and others are all wearing vests and shorts, and a pair of flip-flops on their feet. The contrast is very strong.

After Lin Tianhua entered the ancestral hall, he immediately smiled. His smile was warm and friendly, and it was definitely not like Lin Sanqi's flattery:

"Grandpa, you called me? Hey, Brother Nine, you're here too. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I heard that you got rich recently. I haven't asked for a cup of tea yet."

The Lin family has many rules, so Lin Sanqi quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Shi."

Lin Tianhua patted Lin Sanqi's shoulder affectionately and said, "Qizi, you have grown up. Our Lin family has produced another talented person."

Lin Tianhua then greeted everyone in the ancestral hall, even the aunts who were working there, and greeted them warmly.

He gives people a refreshing feeling and is very approachable. He doesn't look like a senior executive of a foreign company at all.

Lin Sanqi thought: This cousin has a very high emotional intelligence. It turns out that those who can make it in the workplace are not simple. (End of this chapter)
