Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 187 Chapter 186, Are You Ready? (5K)

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, there was a buffet reception.

Lin Chu looked at the people coming and going, and his sense of accomplishment and satisfaction reached a peak, at least the peak of the first twenty-four years of his life.

"Boss Lin, haha, congratulations. It just so happens that I have something else to talk to you about privately. Let's go and find a quiet place."

Zhou Ming walked over and said with a smile.

He was wearing a dark red Chinese Tang suit today, looking a bit like a mascot.

In fact, it is true.

His presence was nothing more than a final farewell to the stadium that had been with him for ten years, and it also represented a smooth handover of the club's equity, so that old members did not have to worry about the change of ownership affecting their own interests.

Lin Chu glanced at him, and his heart suddenly moved slightly.

coming.

What is supposed to come will still come.

I actually thought about this matter and anticipated it when I couldn't sleep last night.

A golf club. Although Mingliu Real Estate was once the big boss, the various interests behind it must be complicated, whether it is at the political and business level or among his old brothers and subordinates. All of these must be explained.

After all, it is just a transfer of equity now, but when it comes to specific details, there will be more to be transferred.

If he wanted to talk about this, then... he is quite conscientious.

Otherwise, if you do it yourself, the time cost will be quite high.

Of course, there are simple and crude ways to do this, as well as careful and cost-effective ways. It just depends on your own ideas and courage.

"Okay, please come this way, let's go to the conference room."

Lin Chu immediately said with a smile.

The two walked side by side into a conference room.

After closing the door, Lin Chu locked it.

Seeing Lin Chu's little action, Zhou Ming couldn't help but smile slightly. It seemed that this young man had guessed it. Okay, that's quite mature.

Although you are young, you are not a fool.

"are you ready?"

He asked suddenly.

Lin Chu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, smiled and nodded as if nothing had happened: "I have psychological expectations."

"That's good."

Zhou Ming took out an Apple phone from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chu as if nothing had happened.

"The information is all in there. How you deal with it is your business. It doesn't involve personal relationships and is a normal handover. I just cleared the password. Take a look first."

"Thanks."

Lin Chu thanked him sincerely.

When buying a golf course myself, what I value is its social attributes, but since it is a social thing, its past history must not be spotless.

However, Lin Chu figured it out last night - all kinds of nepotism are secondary. Since it is a company, there can be no lack of personal relationships. It is nothing more than getting rid of some, supporting some, winning over some, and suppressing some.

My bottom line is: as long as it doesn’t involve any big risks like “dry shares”, it’s acceptable.

Take this phone and turn it on.

The main screen is clean and contains a series of tables.

The extremely detailed form involves 10 departments of the entire club, including the President's Office, Finance Department, Purchasing Department, Member Services Department, Ball Affairs Department, Logistics Department, Catering Department, Hotel Department, Marketing Department, and Sales Department... a total of 417 current employees.

As well as 348 current members, 4784 historical members and temporary customers.

hiss……

Lin Chu took a deep breath in his heart.

It seems that in the past days, Zhou Ming's control over this club was still very strong.

He knows everything.

Whether you know it or not is one thing, whether you care about it after knowing it is another.

"I have divided them into different levels: red, orange, yellow, green, and white. The red ones are the ones that need special attention, and so on, with decreasing importance."

Zhou Ming smiled faintly and lit a cigarette, feeling a bit like sitting back and watching a show.

Lin Chu glanced at him, smiled, and continued watching.

"Mr. Zhou is thoughtful."

Mark the first one in red.

General Manager of the Club: Li Ziming, male, 47 years old, a veteran of Mingliu Group for 16 years. His father was a politician (deputy director, now retired), his mother was a doctor (now retired), he has two older brothers and sisters, his sister has immigrated overseas, his brother works as the vice president of a branch of Construction Bank in Shanghai.

Li Ziming has served as the club's sales manager for 2 years, purchasing manager for 2 years, deputy financial director for 3 years and general manager for 2 years. His current annual salary is 230 million yuan, and his annual dividends are approximately 300 million yuan.

Note: Over the past nine years, the total income from other abnormal channels has reached approximately RMB 2600 million.

Tsk.

Pay attention.

The term “income from abnormal channels” is very...essential.

Obviously, Li Ziming should be a very capable and capable person who knows how to do things in moderation. He made some money, but not too much. He gets a lot every year, so he makes a little less, not exceeding the normal annual salary plus bonus, and just regards it as an extra bonus for himself.

The performance is probably good, and the loyalty is probably OK.

Otherwise, Zhou Ming would not have tolerated it until now.

Looking at it, Lin Chu couldn't help but light a cigarette, and his mood was actually a little relaxed.

This one is listed first. I also scanned the "red list" and found no cases of dry shares.

Above the bottom line.

Okay.

"You're just going to let me have your capable man?"

Lin Chu exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced at Zhou Ming, and asked with a smile.

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "It depends on you. If you don't want it, I'll take it away. I'm good at using this guy, but I've talked to him and he doesn't really want to leave. After all, we have feelings for each other."

"He has contributed at least 30% to the club's success. His ability, prestige, and qualifications are undeniable."

This evaluation is considered quite high.

No wonder.

Lin Chu nodded.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll give you an answer within three months."

Nothing has been sorted out yet. At least we need to hand it over and see how this person is doing... Slow work will lead to success.

Zhou Ming also smiled and nodded.

Lin Chu continued reading.

There are five vice presidents in the club, namely vice president of sales, vice president of membership, vice president of finance, vice president of purchasing, and vice president of human resources.

All are marked in red.

Zhou Ming made a note of the Vice President of Finance and the Vice President of Human Resources and he wanted to take them away.

This makes sense.

After all, even if he didn't take the two most core pieces away, Lin Chu would definitely have to replace them.

The general manager is equivalent to a general. To a certain extent, he can and must have his own will. He can be separated from Zhou Ming, but he cannot be in charge of finance and personnel.

Lin Chu simply ignored these two people.

Think about it and see who to look for.

Let’s continue looking at the other three vice presidents.

Vice President of Membership, Ma Lin.

Looking at his information, Lin Chu sighed secretly.

Ma Lin's parents are both in the system, both work in the construction field, and are still working.

This man is 29 years old, a returnee graduate, and his annual salary plus bonus as vice president is nearly two million.

Life in the club is quite carefree.

Zhou Ming is in the real estate business. Supporting such a person is naturally not purely for the golf club, but also for the real estate company's main business. He can be used when needed.

Spending two million a year to support one person can actually have a far greater impact than just two million.

For example, if a procedure can be approved in advance, it is hard to imagine how much financial cost can be saved for a real estate project.

only……

Such a person is now a slightly hot potato for me.

I don’t do real estate myself.

But as a new boss, it would not be appropriate to fire him right away.

The person's parents haven't retired yet. Although I can't do anything about it now, it's still disgusting to feel annoyed.

Let’s put this aside for now.

Lin Chu put him down for the moment and looked at the message from the Vice President of Sales again.

The vice president of sales is Xin Fu, 38 years old, from Hong Kong. He used to be an insurance broker. During all the years he worked in sales, he was the sales champion almost every year.

His father is a former TVB actor, his mother has passed away, his brother works in finance in London, and his sister is a lawyer in Hong Kong.

Something.

It seems that Xinfu's ability to reach this position has little to do with his family background, but mostly depends on his personal ability.

During these two days, Lin Chu and Zhu Yixian also talked about it. In fact, many guests of Pengcheng golf courses come from Hong Kong. After all, the prices here are relatively cheap and the hardware facilities are better.

After finishing one cigarette, Lin Chu lit up another one.

Continue reading the information of the last vice president of purchasing.

The vice president of purchasing is Li Jianshe, 54 years old, a native of Pengcheng. He worked in the transportation business when he was young, but later went bankrupt. He worked as Zhou Ming's driver for nearly ten years and was sent here five years ago to retire.

He earns an annual salary of 1.2 million and a bonus of 300,000.

The hands were surprisingly clean, without any "income from abnormal channels".

Tsk.

Zhou Ming is quite good at using people.

Lin Chu couldn't help but look at him again.

To be honest, the personnel relations of this club are relatively clean. Of course, there are nepotisms, but they are within an acceptable and reasonable range. Zhou Ming's style in real estate is steady, clear, and even conservative, and the club continues his real estate style.

"I must have it, Sales Manager."

"Purchasing Director, let me take another look. Giving your people retirement care is actually not a big deal. It only costs about a million a year."

"Mr. Member, you don't need it anymore?"

Lin Chu looked at Zhou Ming and said that he had already made a decision.

You work in government relations in the construction industry, so why do you stay here with me?

It would be best if he were to take it away.

"His father is going to retire next year."

Zhou Ming smiled and said, then paused, "I am also preparing to retire."

The tone and expression even had a hint of cunning of an old naughty boy.

Lin Chu: …

I was too lazy to beat around the bush and just stated my attitude directly: "Young people still have a bright future ahead of them. They can find a job anywhere. As for your driver, he should stay. He can be demoted but not reduced in salary. He is 54 years old. If he leaves now, where can he find a job?"

This is an exchange.

Lin Chu had considered it and opened them all.

But there is no need for this for the time being. Let's replace the blood slowly. Once all the old blood is drawn out and the new blood has not yet arrived, the operation of the club will be greatly affected.

Zhou Ming shook his head and smiled: "Let's keep him for two more years. It's hard for young people to find jobs."

He wanted to buy Ma Lin two more years, until he could land safely and with dignity.

Lin Chu still had a smile on his face, but his attitude was firm: "I can't keep him. I'm afraid that in two years, he will stretch his hands too far, and I will have to send him to prison for further training. If it really comes to that, it will be quite embarrassing and irresponsible for his future."

Zhou Ming sighed inaudibly.

Also.

But he didn't expect that Lin Chu's attitude was so firm that he even said such words.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Ming stood up with a smile and said, "Don't want to see you again?"

Lin Chu stood up and said, "Yes, let's meet. Would you like to have a couple more drinks later?"

"I can't do it anymore. I have gout and I haven't been drinking for almost five years."

Zhou Ming waved his hand and smiled.

The two of them went out together.

……

When he walked out the door, Lin Chu reset the password for the files on his mobile phone and sent a copy to his own mobile phone.

Another thought came to my mind: Could there be any falsification in this document?

But after thinking about it, Zhou Ming, there is no need for this.

soon.

Lin Chu arrived at the cocktail party.

Seeing the two people appear, General Manager Li Ziming walked over quickly.

During a previous meeting, Lin Chu had met him once. He was a graceful middle-aged man, tall in stature, with outstanding temperament, making people feel like spring breeze.

But now the position has changed, and there is a hint of respect in his elegance.

"Boss Lin, Boss Zhou, the guests have been arranged. Are you two going to take a look around?"

He smiled and said, calling Lin Chu first and then Zhou Ming.

Lin Chu noticed this detail and couldn't help but smile for a moment.

"Hard."

Lin Chu patted his shoulder and handed him a cigarette.

Li Ziming took it with a smile, took a half step back, glanced at the two of them, and actually guessed that these two were going to discuss "personnel" issues.

He still cares a lot about whether he stays or leaves.

But I don’t know what the boss thinks.

Having followed Zhou Ming for so many years, he felt that he could guess Zhou Ming's character and thoughts to a high degree. Mr. Zhou was always an honest elder.

However, Lin Chu, 24 years old, is really hard to guess.

I still feel a little worried.

"Oh, yes. The Vice President of Finance and the Vice President of Human Resources are planning to resign. Please help them with the formalities and pay out the severance pay that should be paid. If there are people who want to resign along with you, please approve their resignations and give them the same benefits."

Lin Chu suddenly said at this time.

Hearing this, Li Ziming was slightly stunned at first, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised and nodded: "Okay."

If you didn’t click on me, then maybe... there’s still a chance?
At least it's okay for now.

Then he immediately started to think: Li Jianshe actually stayed? It seems that Mr. Zhou is really not good enough. He didn't want the driver who had been with him for more than ten years. Mr. Lin is still tolerant and actually agreed to let him stay. His work style is quite "accommodating". Xinfu, who relies on his ability, naturally cannot leave. His job is secure. As for Ma Lin... Ma Lin?
Zhou Ming suddenly said, "Boss Lin, I want to ask you for another person, Boss Ma from the membership department, you have to let me go."

He realized Lin Chu's will and knew that this man would definitely not stay.

Forget it, just take it away.

The less trouble, the better.

Two million a year, and at most five million in two years. It’s a cooperation, so let’s just part ways amicably.

Lin Chu glanced at him, and once again realized his character, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay, I have no objection."

Zhou Ming smiled and waved his hand, patting Lin Chu on the shoulder: "Okay."

Hearing this, Li Ziming felt much more at ease.

……

Of the five vice presidents, three have left, so the team is basically cleared out.

Next, Lin Chu was also thinking about how to arrange his own candidates.

This is even more of a headache.

Just thinking about it makes my head a little big.

This is the biggest disadvantage of being young. The accumulation and foundation are here, but it is not enough, not enough at all.

However, compared with ordinary companies, golf clubs have one advantage, that is, the club's core competitiveness lies in hardware.

The "professional ability" required for each position is actually not that strong.

Except for the sales department, most of the positions are operational, and the loyalty requirements are much higher than the professional ability requirements.

Even if we take a step back, there would be no problem in arranging the women he had slept with before, at least in the short term.

No wonder there is such a thing as a "career promotion tool" in the workplace. This is indeed the case in a field where relationships are more important than skills.

Lin Chu felt that he was now a bit like playing a business simulation game like "Business Empire", placing the right people in the right positions.

This is quite interesting.

Thinking about this, Lin Chu posted a message on WeChat Moments.

——Win it! After that, all friends are welcome to come and play.

The accompanying picture is a photo taken at the ribbon-cutting ceremony just now. The sign of LC Golf Club is reflecting golden light in the sun, shining brightly.

……

However, what surprised Lin Chu was...

While drinking, a young man who looked very young and had a strong aura, wearing a suit and tie, with a slicked-back hair, slightly plump and plump, came to him.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Ma Lin from the membership department. I don't know if you have heard of me. I would like to report to you about my work."

He held the wine glass and said with a very experienced smile.

Lin Chu glanced at him and nodded calmly: "Okay, go ahead."

He took a deep breath and spoke directly.

"I don't want to leave. Just now, President Zhou said that he wanted to take me away, but I have deep feelings for the club. I think I have done a good job in all aspects of the work. Many old members have become friends with me. Of course, I am not taking credit for it. I am just saying that I am still valuable to the club."

"I have not made any mistakes in the past few years. You can ask me about this. Everyone in the club knows it."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice a little, and there was a little more request in his tone, and he said softly: "Boss Lin, I know very well what Boss Zhou wants from me. I also roughly understand what you are worried about."

"I'm just Ma Lin, an ordinary worker who wants to use my professional ability to do a job, earn an income, and support my family."

"Give me a chance, I won't let you down."

Lin Chu:?
An ordinary worker?
This self-descriptive adjective made Lin Chu feel a little magical for a moment, and even made him want to laugh.

However, his attitude...

He is naturally a smart man. The real estate industry is already on the decline. Even if the income remains the same, there is no point in going there. Besides, Mingliu Real Estate is in such a state that he won't be able to stay there for many years.

How can it be more comfortable to continue being the vice president here?
Lin Chu glanced at him and smiled: "Boss Zhou has been very kind to you. He specifically asked for it. Are you jumping ship like this? If this gets out, how will he live his life?"

Ma Lin looked slightly embarrassed.

"I……"

He wanted to say, why should I care about him? What about my own future?
But, I still can't say this.

After all, these two bosses seem to have a good personal relationship.

"Hey, I'm helpless too, but I really don't want to leave. Can I go and explain this to Mr. Zhou? Please reconsider your decision, please."

"Work is work, and favors are favors. I admire you for being able to take over such a large industry at such a young age. I, Ma Lin, am not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be grateful."

"Mr. Zhou will retire in one or two years at most... I hope Mr. Lin will also understand my situation."

Lin Chu looked at him and naturally understood what he meant.

——I just want to work! I will follow whoever is the boss and has a bright future!

"Please talk to Mr. Zhou again, and I'll think about it again."

Lin Chu patted his shoulder and said that for now.

Hearing Lin Chu say this, Ma Lin knew that they could only talk about this for now. He forced a smile and nodded.

"Okay, I'll toast you a glass."

Lin Chu bumped into him and then stood up and left.

Suddenly, I thought of the first words Zhou Ming said when he came to find me in the office just now.

——Are you ready?
Are you really ready?
……
