Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 659: The Group's Structure Has a Big Loophole

In fact, Wen Wan had another plan in mind, if Jiang Fan lived in Shanghai for a long time.

But there was no need for that now, so she used the simplest method to eliminate the boss's doubts.

By the time she reported every word of the morning's conversation to Luo Yang, her boss was already in Yangcheng.

"So far, Pinduoduo's average daily sales this month have exceeded 300 million. According to this figure, the sales for the whole of June will exceed 6 million."

Since the company was acquired, changed its model and received reinvestment, Pinduoduo has been reborn.

Similarly, as the executive president of Pinduoduo, Liang Yuxin has regained her former spirit and even gained more momentum.

"The company will continue to strengthen the expansion of group buying business and further refine and sink the market."

After more than two months of verification in theory and practice, immediate results have been achieved. This is enough to prove that the new model proposed by Luo Yang has strong vitality and is expected to survive in the cracks between giants such as Taobao and JD.com.

".My report is over. Now, please allow the chairman to give us some comments."

"I appreciate the company's achievements. After all, Pinduoduo was built on the basis of an e-commerce platform company that was on the verge of bankruptcy."

Luo Yang didn't waste any words and said directly: "Monthly sales exceeding 1 million is certainly worth celebrating, but it is far from my expectations for Pinduoduo. In my opinion, annual sales exceeding 10 billion is just so-so. You should know that as early as around 05, Taobao and NetEase had already reached this level."

Yes, Taobao and NetEase, both in their early years, broke through the 05 billion mark in 10.

What’s even more frightening is that by 06, the annual sales volume exceeded billion.

As for today, after losing the battle for the top position, NetEase is now in a half-dead state. 95% of the e-commerce market share is eaten up by Taobao, and its annual sales are already approaching one trillion yuan.

JD.com was initially committed to developing the logistics industry, and after laying a solid foundation, it has become one of the giants in the e-commerce industry.

It's been 12 years now. Is a monthly sales volume of 1 million something to be proud of?

The loud drums should also be struck with a heavy hammer.

Although Luo Yang created a new model, and after two months of practice, it has been quite effective.

Because of this, a group of executives led by Liang Yuxin were very satisfied with the recent achievements. After seeing these expressions, Luo Yang felt that he still needed to give them a warning.

After the comments, the smile on Liang Yuxin's face disappeared completely.

Even after the meeting ended and she and Luo Yang came to the office, her face still didn't look very good.

"Why, Mr. Liang, you can't stand this little criticism?"

Luo Yang lit a cigarette, then looked at Liang Yuxin and asked, "Or did you lose face in front of your subordinates?"

"You are the chairman. How dare I be dissatisfied with your comments?"

"Tsk, you're even using a yin-yang tone."

Luo Yang exhaled a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "When Mr. Liang controlled me, he was much more severe than he is now."

"Are you taking revenge on me?"

Liang Yuxin stared at Luo Yang with wide eyes, as if she was ready to fight if they had a disagreement.

"You."

Luo Yang sighed: "Can't you see that I'm doing this for your own good?"

"For my own good?"

Liang Yuxin snorted: "Why can't you tell me in private? Why do you have to tell me in front of so many subordinates?"

"The group has issued a document. You should know that I set up a content website in Shanghai, right?"

"Station C?"

Liang Yuxin was very confused.

We were just talking about the loss of face in the meeting, how come the topic has shifted to the company's industry in the blink of an eye?

Although Pinduoduo is an industry invested by the group's investment department, Liang Yuxin's level is not low. She is rated as P10 in the company system, but she has not yet entered the board of directors.

Some important documents of the group were forwarded to her.

"Yes, it's Station C."

Luo Yang nodded and said, "At the beginning, because the group had no main business, I asked the investment department to pay attention to it, and then the company decided to enter the e-commerce field. However, at the investment discussion meeting, there were some different opinions. A large number of people believed that the track in the e-commerce field has been occupied by big companies such as Taobao and JD.com, and it is very difficult to intervene now."

This worry was true. Liang Yuxin immediately forgot about her own embarrassing incident and focused on Luo Yang's description.

“But I personally think there’s still a chance.”

Luo Yang continued: "As early as my freshman and sophomore years, I was interested in this area and thought about it. Pinduoduo's current model was born at that time."

He found a reasonable excuse for the source of his innovative model.

"You were already thinking about these things when you were working part-time at the real estate company?"

Liang Yuxin was surprised and asked, "Then when you started your business, didn't you consider starting an e-commerce platform earlier?"

“Did I have so much money at that time?”

Luo Yang smiled and asked: "In 09, whether it was Taobao, JD.com, or Suning.com, they were all established. A small dinghy like mine would be destroyed if a small wave hit it!"

Liang Yuxin immediately thought of herself.

When he first came to Guangzhou to start his business with tens of millions of dollars in capital, he could only barely hold on for less than two years.

What’s more, Luo Yang started from scratch?
"To be honest, even now, I am not sure of success."

Seeing that Liang Yuxin stopped talking, Luo Yang continued, "That's why we decided to walk on two legs. On the one hand, we support the Pinduoduo model, and on the other hand, we create a content website. In the end, whoever can survive and achieve a certain development prospect, the group will concentrate its efforts to support the remaining one."

"That is to say."

Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang with a complicated expression and said, "Am I the one who has to choose between the two?"

"Be optimistic."

Luo Yang corrected her: "This is called competition for a job."

"hehe."

Liang Yuxin rolled her eyes at Luo Yang.

"Don't disbelieve me, I really think so."

Luo Yang twitched his eyebrows and explained patiently: "There are many things that need to be done now, and money is needed everywhere. In a short period of time, we cannot come up with too much money to fully support Pinduoduo to seize the market, so we have made the strategic decision to walk on two legs and wait for the opportunity."

"You don't have enough money?"

Liang Yuxin recalled the futures trading experience more than two months ago: "No wonder you want to make money in the international crude oil futures market"

"So I don't want you to feel proud of your small achievements."

Luo Yang changed the subject again: "The reason why we are growing so fast now is because we are still small. Giants like Taobao, JD.com, and Suning.com are fighting with each other to seize the market. They don't pay any attention to us at all. Believe it or not, as long as Pinduoduo's sales volume exceeds 10 billion, they will definitely target us."

Being targeted means that people may use means to deal with you at any time.

There are too many means that can be used: logistics, payment, subsidies. Any one of them can make Pinduoduo suffer at this stage.

Liang Yuxin fell silent for a moment.

"Do you understand my intentions now?"

Luo Yang would not give up: "I need you to stay tense and take advantage of this rare gap in time to consolidate the foundation of the group buying business and expand the market share of online shopping. When the time comes to face off against your competitors, at least you will have some confidence." After some painstaking explanations, Liang Yuxin finally understood Luo Yang's approach in the meeting room.

"Boss Xiao Luo, you've been telling me that you're short of money, but do you know how much you made from the last trade?"

Liang Yuxin was present during the last operation.

She witnessed with her own eyes that Luo Yang bought 121.78 lots for short selling at the price of 3000 million yuan per barrel.

I watched the market last night and learned that crude oil prices have now fallen to 92 million yuan per barrel. That is to say, after two months of continuous decline, the original transaction has made a floating profit of 30 million yuan per barrel!

If all are sold now, the profit will be 9000 million euros.

Liang Yuxin had already calculated the gains for Luo Yang, so she looked at him with a smile and said, "This money should be unplanned, and the principal is not counted. You invest half of the profit into Pinduoduo, and I guarantee that the performance in the second half of the year will grow by leaps and bounds."

"hehe."

Luo Yang only threw these two words to Liang Yuxin.

The current price is only 92 million yuan per barrel, and there is still 80 million yuan of room for the price to reach 12 million yuan per barrel. This means a profit of 3600 million yuan, equivalent to more than 2 million yuan in local currency. How can it be sold now?
"I just criticized you in the meeting room. Don't be proud. Keep working hard."

Liang Yuxin said indignantly: "In fact, they have money but don't invest. Then Pinduoduo's expansion speed cannot be accelerated. You can't blame me."

"Wait a few months."

In fact, it would not be cost-effective to wait until early July to sell it and use the money immediately.

The way to maximize profits is to continue investing in the US crude oil futures market.

The principal of nearly 1 million yuan, even if it is only magnified by 80 times, will be 9 to 4 million yuan when it is taken out in mid-September.

Liang Yuxin doesn't know this, so she only cares about immediate interests.

Although he did not give a specific explanation, Luo Yang still gave a rough time: "Around the end of September, I will invest 9 million yuan in Pinduoduo for the development in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year."

"By the end of September, 9 million!"

When Liang Yuxin heard the news, her eyes lit up immediately: "Boss Luo, you can't go back on your word."

"When have I ever broken my word?"

Luo Yang sneered: "It's you, Mr. Liang, who has a bad record."

Liang Yuxin: “.”

Perhaps thinking about what happened at Jincheng Real Estate, Miss Liang's face suddenly turned red.

The office suddenly became quiet.

Looking at Luo Yang smoking leisurely, Liang Yuxin felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

She rolled her eyes a few times, then raised the corners of her mouth.

"Boss Xiao Luo, who built the structure of Lingshi Palace Group?"

"?"

Faced with the sudden change of topic, Luo Yang was a little confused.

After coming back to his senses, he glanced at Liang Yuxin and said, "Of course it's me. What's the problem?"

"It's a big problem."

When it comes to management structure, Liang Yuxin has much more say than Luo Yang.

After all, he is a top student who graduated from the Wharton School of Business. He also interned in a Fortune 500 company while studying abroad and is very familiar with the most common organizational structure of large companies in the world.

"First of all, the company's rating system is completely incompatible with the group's business."

Wow, you're so serious right at the start.

"Come on, tell me what doesn't match."

Luo Yang spread his hands and pretended to listen attentively.

"The current structure is simply from low to high, with a hierarchy of P10 to P11, which does not reflect the functional differences at all."

When it comes to the field that Miss Liang is good at, she can talk endlessly: "At present, a dual-sequence career development system is more commonly used internationally. Correspondingly, everyone in the company can find a corresponding position in this sequence."

"Ok?"

When Liang Yuxin said the word "double sequence", Luo Yang's ears pricked up.

"One system is the expert route, the P sequence, which means technical positions, programmers, engineers, and talents in a certain professional field. The current general classification is generally 14 levels, from P10 to P14."

Liang Yuxin smiled when she saw Luo Yang’s serious expression.

She continued slowly: "The other system is the M route - the manager route, commonly known as the management position. The M sequence is generally from M1 to M10."

"interesting."

Luo Yang didn't even have time to smoke at this moment.

He listened more carefully.

"Generally speaking, fresh graduates start at P4 when they first join the company. After working for about 1 to 3 years, they are promoted to P6, which is the engineer category. P4 is a junior engineer, P5 is a mid-level engineer, and P6 is a senior engineer. Moving up, P7 is an expert, P8 is a senior expert, P9 is a senior expert, P10 is a researcher, P11 is equivalent to a senior researcher, P12 is a senior researcher, P13 is a scientist, and the highest level, P14, is a senior scientist."

What Liang Yuxin talked about was very rigorous, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a relatively mature system.

"In this system, everyone's promotion conditions must be based on years of work experience, years of staying at the same level, the core business they are responsible for, and whether they have made significant contributions to the company's projects."

Luo Yang wanted to take notes.

"As for the M route, M1 is supervisor, M2 is manager, M3 is senior manager, M4 is director, and M5 is senior director."

Liang Yuxin didn't care whether Luo Yang took the pen or not, and continued: "M6 corresponds to the vice president, M7 corresponds to the senior vice president, M8 corresponds to the executive director, M9 corresponds to the vice chairman, and M10 is the chairman."

In this system, the salary system is clearly divided into different levels, and each person's salary, position and promotion conditions are also clearly stated.

For example, Luo Yang is in the M10 sequence, but as for the P sequence, he may not be included.

However, in Kunpeng Technology, there should be quite a few dual-sequence personnel, that is, technical management positions, who have both M-sequence management positions and P-sequence technical positions.

"Not bad"

Luo Yang looked at Liang Yuxin with a smile and said, "Write a report on this dual-sequence system and send it to me via email."

Now it was Liang Yuxin's turn to curl her lips.

"Do you want more money?"

Luo Yang immediately used his tactics.

"Boss Xiao Luo, you don't think the corporate structure has such a loophole, do you?"

Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang with a smile on her face and took advantage of him.

Ha ha
"It looks like I'll have to go to universities and hire a few senior professors to serve as company consultants after I return to Shanghai."

Luo Yang looked at Liang Yuxin with an aggressive gaze, and smiled, "Spend some money and hire professionals to help sort out the loopholes in the group organization. What do you think, Mr. Liang?"

You still want to control me, what are you thinking?

I couldn't do it when I worked part-time under you, and it's even more impossible now.
