Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 930 Proposal

Chen Hui said, "As we make more and more money, I sometimes worry that we might have a falling out over money one day. With so many companies, it's impossible for everything to go smoothly without any problems. It would be much better if the company were controlled by a controlling shareholder. After all, the company belongs to the three of us, so I feel more at ease."

Xiao Wei said, "We need to take advantage of the fact that we're just starting out and quickly establish our financial, personnel, reward, and accounting systems. Especially the accounting system. Once the equity of the subsidiaries is clear, we need to figure out how to handle the accounting, whether to bring it up or keep it separate, and how to pay taxes. We need to quickly come up with a set of regulations for this."

Geng Hui nodded and said, "I'll call Aunt Chen tonight. I'm not sure about this either, so I'll get her opinion."

Chen Hui said, "I think we should give the factory managers and directors a 3% bonus for now. If they work for five years and perform well, that will increase to 5%. If they work for another five years without any major problems, that 5% equity will belong to them personally. What do you two think?"

Xiao Wei pointed at Geng Hui and said, "Let Geng Hui calculate this. Every company is different. Is it okay to make such a one-size-fits-all approach? For example, property management and real estate are both for managers, but their incomes are vastly different."

Geng Hui said, "I also feel that the share income should be balanced and the gap should not be too big. However, it can't be like what Xiaowei said, there will definitely be a gap. On the other hand, the contribution to the company is also different. If you calculate it this way, everyone will be treated the same."

Xiao Wei paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Indeed, having them all the same won't work. Okay, you should discuss it with Aunt Chen and hear her opinion. Xiao Hui, is Uncle Chen coming back? Is he just waiting in Kyoto to take over?"

Chen Hui said, "I didn't ask in detail. There's something going on. They're reorganizing now, and it's all called the Ministry of Electric Power Industry now. The former Ministry of Energy is being dismantled. There's a lot going on here, and the minister is my uncle Shi, and my dad also has to help out there."

To be honest, even without my Uncle Shi, my dad might not have made it. The old man and my dad had a very good relationship; he was ten years older than my dad, sixty years old, and his energy wasn't what it used to be.

Xiao Wei asked, "So how will Aunt Chen get her job?"

Chen Hui shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. That's something for next year. It can't be that fast. I guess he'll get a job at the head office of the People's Bank of China, but we'll have to see what he does there."

Geng Hui stood up and said, "You two chat, I'm going to get back to work. I'll discuss it with Xia Xia tonight, and then I'll call Aunt Chen."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, let's meet again tomorrow afternoon and finalize this."

After Geng Hui left, Chen Hui put his feet down and sat up straight, saying, "I feel that what Geng Hui said makes sense. Actually, I've realized it now too. There are too many uncertainties in the restaurant business, and the profits are slowly not keeping up. In fact, with the equity concentrated, I've taken advantage of Lao Xia. The food factory has much greater development prospects than the restaurant."

Xiao Wei said, "Don't overthink it. You also have a winery here, and its prospects are no worse than those of a food factory. Actually, I should say I'm the one who benefits."

Chen Hui patted the sofa armrest and said, "Forget it, stop arguing. This is all too complicated. Let's just take it and make money. Why worry about so much? Anyway, I know that neither Lao Xia nor I could have done what we have today if we worked alone. We just need to work together."

Xiao Wei said, "You should have a good talk with Uncle Chen tonight and listen to his true thoughts and opinions. We must stabilize things now, otherwise, if something goes wrong later, it will be a big problem that no one can afford."

Chen Hui pursed his lips and nodded, then suddenly looked up and glared at Xiao Wei, saying, "Hey, what do you think about having a few fixed drivers from now on? We won't be driving ourselves anymore. I think it's great; we can talk, sleep, do other things, and we won't have to worry about safety."

Xiao Wei said, "Sure. Once things are sorted out, the security department can hire some more people to do the daily work, and we can transfer Wang Jiwei and the others to be full-time drivers and guards. You, me, Geng Hui, Li Na, and Sister Jin will all be assigned to them."

Chen Hui asked, "Won't Aunt Wang provide one?"

Xiao Wei said, "Two cars are enough for the office. If the staff need to go out on business, they can just ask the office for a car."

Chen Hui said, "Did you call Tianjing? When will the car be delivered? The company needs a few official vehicles. We can't expect to use Hiace and Jinbei vans for every business trip, can we? And the cars assigned to these people, are they really going to be Xiali? They look so cheap."

Xiao Wei laughed a few times, shook his head and said, "How could that be? After a while, we'll even take back Brother Long's machine and equip a batch of them together."

Chen Hui leaned back on the sofa and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If you calculate it this way, it'll cost quite a few cars. It hurts to spend that much money."

Xiao Wei said, "Let's set up a fleet of vehicles under the office. From now on, all transportation and business trips within the company system will be handled by the fleet, charged at 70% of the market rate. The subordinate companies will only need official vehicles, which will reduce a lot of losses. Two sedans and one bread truck will be enough for official use."

Chen Hui said, "Without considering transportation, once personnel are stable next year, we'll have each company submit their applications for official vehicles, and then we'll approve and purchase them based on the situation."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and understood, nodding and saying, "Okay. Are they still in contact with them in Beijing?"

Chen Hui said, "Keep in touch, we're still selling. We can handle both."

Looking at the time, Xiaowei packed his things and said, "Let's go, it's time to go home. Have you even been to your own office all day?"

Chen Hui stood up, stretched, and said, "What's wrong with coming in or not? It's so boring being alone. I'd rather go home and hug my son."

……

That evening, Chen Hui and Chen Xiao put Xiao Xiao Hui to sleep, let Chen Xiao rest, and then went to the next room to call Old Chen.

Old Chen must have been exhausted lately; his voice was filled with weariness. After listening to Chen Hui's story, he thought for a moment and asked, "What are your own thoughts?"

Chen Hui said, "Me? I don't have any ideas. If I or Lao Xia were to handle this, we definitely wouldn't be able to manage it. I've discovered that I'm actually an execution-oriented person. I've really worked hard these past six months, and I've found that I'm actually doing quite well. It's a very satisfying feeling to see something completed in my own hands."

Old Chen chuckled a few times and said, "Not bad, fairly objective. People are naturally divided into many types, suited to doing all sorts of things. The fact that you've discovered you're an execution-oriented person shows that you've indeed been working hard these past six months, and I'm very happy about that."

Chen Hui chuckled a few times and asked, "So, Dad, what do you think is the best course of action?"

Old Chen said, "Xiao Wei's idea is objective. Clearly understanding the equity of all companies is a guarantee of stability, which shows that he is indeed more clear-headed than you and Xia, and his consideration of issues is also more thorough."
