Global monopoly of technology

Quietly in the conference room, Luo Sheng took the financial report on the desktop and flicked his eyes away from everyone, saying: "Every executive above the director level who is responsible for investment and operation management must take a good look. Everyone writes a review, including you!"

Write a review?

Everyone at the meeting was confused, and the president of the financial audit department picked up the report and looked at it carefully, and then passed it to others.

As time passed by, everyone looked at what was wrong with the report, and what happened to the account.

And Luo Sheng, who was sitting in the chief position, watched them whispering silently, and after looking at each other for a long time, he didn't find any problems with the annual report!

As for fraud, it is indispensable.

A multinational enterprise group on the Côte d’Azur has an astronomical annual revenue of 100 billion U.S. dollars. The audit department dares to make fraudulent accounts. If they find out, they have to go in collectively to eat in jail. It's impossible.

At the end, everyone saw that Luo Sheng meant to speak, and they all quieted down surprisingly.

"Have you really not found out where the problem is?"

Everyone looked at each other, but they still didn't say a word. After a while, the president of the financial audit department at the meeting said weakly: "Mr. Luo, it should be fine, right? There really is no audit disclosure!"

"Yeah, it really doesn't."

The other executives at the meeting echoed. They did not see any problems with this annual report, and they were absolutely sure.

On the contrary, the 2013 annual report was exceptionally bright.

Luo Sheng took a deep breath and said concisely: "The problem is not the audit itself, but the excessive profits."

What?

Everyone is confused again, the problem is that the profit is too high?What kind of problem is this?

Luo Sheng looked around at the meeting and emphasized again: "This year's net profit margin is as high as 25%, which is 12 points higher than last year. What's the problem?"

At this moment, even everyone, including Yao Jianhong, didn't understand what Luo Sheng meant by this, and it even felt incredible.

Shouldn't this be happy?

Côte d'Azur's 2013 annual report global sales totaled USD 221.8 billion, net profit USD 55.45 billion, and net profit margin reached 25%.

This is the second company created by Luo Sheng with annual revenue of over 200 billion U.S. dollars. Before that, it was the Bluestar Technology Group, which reached 2030 billion U.S. dollars.

Now Bluestar Technology's revenue has been almost cut in half, and profit margins have also been adjusted independently.

Bluestar Technology has fallen, but the Blue Coast company has taken off at this time. With a net profit of $55.45 billion, it has become the most profitable company in the world's top 500 companies.

Seeing that everyone was unclear, Luo Sheng had to explain: "If we invest more in strategy today, and more, it means that tomorrow we will face fewer dangers and difficulties, and even less profit. Too high means to a large extent that our investment in research and development is still not enough. Too little investment in research and development means that our ability to resist risks is still not high enough. This is the problem.

In the meeting room at this moment, except for Luo Sheng's tepid reprimand, all the executives present were honest and silent. Although they were not tepid, it also depended on who was speaking.

But hearing this, everyone's heart was staring.

The big BOSS thinks that the company is not investing enough in R&D?We must know that the R&D investment of the Cote d'Azur has exceeded 40 billion US dollars every year.

There is no company in the world, even in history, that has such a level of R&D investment. Any further increase will surpass that of a single developed country. You must know that the current R&D investment of the Côte d’Azur has already lifted Yindu up. As a large country, the total scale of scientific research funding for the year last year was more than 30 billion U.S. dollars...

Everyone really can't understand, is it necessary to spend such crazy money?

But only Luo Sheng knows very well that the Blue Coast must be crazy about climbing technology, how about a country's investment?It’s just that I don’t have a dream, not to mention that in the future, I will face a blow from a world hegemon like the United States and the United States.

At this time, Luo Sheng said again: "What does such a high profit mean? It means that we have sold too many things, but is there any improvement in our products that matches it? Are there any plans for five or eight years from now? What are you doing? I didn't see it in this annual report."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng pointed to the annual report document lying on the conference table: "I said at the press conference last month that any so-called original Azure mobile phone film on the market is fake and does not have the authorization of the Blue Coast. OK, the original products are all out, who will give the authorization? A mobile phone film gets the company's brand authorization and sells it for 70 or 80 yuan? I paid 40 or 50 yuan for the authorization fee, and the company's profit is so high. Coming up."

Everyone at the meeting shut up, seeming to realize why the big boss is so annoyed, not to mention, just this mobile phone film directly slapped the boss.

This Nima really made money and hit the gun.

"Mr. Luo..." After a moment of silence, Yao Jianhong spoke. He is the executive vice president and executive director of the Cote d’Azur, and Luo Sheng basically ignores the company’s daily operations. It can be said that the company’s management problems are his Yao Jianhong. It’s impossible to say nothing about the problem.

But when he spoke, Luo Sheng raised his hand to stop him, and then said: "This is not your problem. I am the CEO. I have my problem in this position. This kind of authorization problem has the right to the middle-level manager, for Performance and bonus share allocation, theoretically, this is not wrong, or even right, but the fault lies in not giving others a way to survive, not giving others a way to survive is not giving yourself a way to survive, and the road gets narrower and narrower."

Luo Sheng looked at everyone with a solemn gaze: "Sometimes, I know that some money can be earned, but I must give up the money and leave it to others. So many colleagues hate us, they certainly have problems, but we Isn’t there a problem at all? I think it’s still a little bit. At least we have problems in the process of making friends.

"Then if one day in the future, Lao Mei will give the Côte d’Azur like Bluestar Technology, our products have achieved 55% of the domestic supply chain matching, and several of the core technologies are in our hands, but still 45% need foreign supply chain support, of which North America accounts for 33%. If they cut off your supply chain, who will help you at this time? Are you left alone or uncomfortable?"

"So, we can easily earn some money, but for the sake of the overall situation and the long-term future, we must give up this money and leave it to others to earn it, so that others can get up quickly; then we invest a little more in research and development, and then a little more "Luo Sheng knocked on the desk and said with all his heart, everyone was honest, and the people at the meeting seemed to the outside world to be well-known bigwigs in the industry, but they were honestly being trained at this moment.

Luo Sheng paused for a moment, glanced at the annual report on the desktop and immediately picked it up and waved it, adding in a statement tone: "I will cut my 25% net profit to 8% reasonably, before the end of this year. Send the solution to my office."

Yao Jianhong replied: "Understood Mr. Luo, I don't need to deal with this issue within one month at the end of the year, and I will take full responsibility if I can't handle it."

This is the smell of military orders, and this is definitely not an easy task. Many people think that it is the most difficult for companies to make money. In fact, spending money is the most difficult. Spending money is not random, but reasonable spending. It is difficult to see the expected return after spending.

Luo Sheng heard Lao Yao's personal assurance and stopped saying anything. He nodded, threw the annual report in his hand on the conference table and got up.

"The meeting is over."

He left the conference room with such a sentence. Before he left, everyone else sat in their respective positions.

Although everyone present here is much older than Luo Sheng in age, his reprimand, even if his tone was not tepid, made people feel pressured, especially the president of the financial audit department, who was really scared before. Fortunately, The annual report audit is no problem.

After all, no matter how gentle Luo Sheng's tone is, where is his position and the nature of the matter is also there.

The first commander left, and now the second commander's face was immediately ashen.

In comparison, everyone is more afraid of Yao Jianhong, because he is the person in charge. Luo Sheng may not come to the company once a week now. Yao Jianhong is actually taking care of the daily operation and management of the company.

"Ten minutes later, convene a meeting with the company's director and above management level!"

With such a word, the second in command, Yao Yao also got up and left the meeting room.

Everyone at the scene looked at each other, knowing that after the end of today's executive board of directors, the company's internal middle management is afraid that it will be a "big optimization" action.

Although Luo Sheng didn't blame Yao Jianhong, everyone knows that the most shameless person is Old Yao.

The number one who likes to be the shopkeeper and the number two who actually did the number one are gone now, everyone is finally relieved a lot, and they are also communicating while cleaning up their files.

"We can earn some money, but we don't earn it and leave it to others... You have never heard any entrepreneur who dares to say that. Except for Mr. Luo, who dares to say that?"

"Aside from work matters, emotionally speaking, I wanted to shout out the word'Niubi' at the time, but I still held back."

"Haha~"

"But there is indeed one sentence, you can't accept it. Maybe this is the pattern and mind. Looking at the big coffee-level leaders of the domestic and foreign business circles in this state, I think that besides Mr. Luo, I am afraid that it is also the old man. Well, apart from the two, I really can't find a third person who can reach this rank. I am ashamed of myself, and I am ashamed of myself."

"Don't be ashamed of you, there are still seven or eight minutes to meet, so hurry up.

"Yes, President Luo asked to reduce the company's net profit to 8%. The pressure was on Lao Yao, who will compress it for another month, and none of us can run away."

"Scary... the senior officials crush people to death."

"Let's wait for Old Yao to roar at the meeting later."

"Don't think about it. The authorization issue of the mobile phone film mentioned by Mr. Luo is in the department under my control. Lao Yao can't run away if he spit on me. When I look back, he will scold his subordinates to relieve his breath. The scolding, the speculation that should be done, will make labor and management trouble."

"Let's go! Let's go! After the meeting, you have to write a review of Lao Shizi, which is really annoying."

Sure enough, at the company's ad hoc meeting a few minutes later, Yao Jianhong uttered a fragrant scent to everyone present at the opening.

Compared with Luo Sheng, who rarely gets angry in front of his subordinates, he is elegant and easy-going but not angry with himself. The difference is that once Lao Yao initiates a fire in an internal meeting, he can be called a tyrant, and when he speaks, he starts with "labor". Means that it is absolutely indispensable to be scolded bloody.

In this regard, Zhang Bowen, who is next door, is now a meeting tyrant. The two are exactly the same. The people below also don't want to have a meeting with them, but they can't refuse it.

In fact, in the early stages of the development of the two companies, Luo Sheng had not been a good shopkeeper. Whether it was Yao Jianhong or Zhang Bowen, he did not lose his temper very much. Even if he disclosed it in his work, he would not directly. Come up and breathe fragrance.

But now, as long as there is a problem at work, it must be fragrant.

This change is actually not accidental. If Luo Sheng is now in their position, he will definitely evolve into a tyrant.

Because the scale of the two companies is too big now, unlike before, it is very tiring to manage such a large multinational group, especially mentally, most of the time they have to concentrate or even get nervous at work. In charge of all aspects of business operations.

The company will not rant if there is a big problem, but if it is a small problem, it will just breathe out fragrance.

In their worldview, there are some small mistakes that are unbearable. They scolded at the beginning, but if there really is a big problem, they will definitely not go crazy. At this time, as long as your mind is clear, you will know that solving the problem is the top priority.

In fact, this is not uncommon. There are studio tyrants like Cameron in the film industry, and the late Qiao Gang from Silicon Valley is also a workplace tyrant.

They all have similarities, they are all directly in charge.

Just when Yao Jianhong began to "optimize" the internal personnel structure of the Riviera, the North American side has begun to simultaneously focus on Luo Sheng’s Riviera and Bluestar Technology to formulate a new round of blows, and Compared with last year's crackdown on Bluestar Technology, it is even worse.
