Chapter 450 Customized Rules
After the speech, Gao Yuan talked about the rules of the Entrepreneurs Club.
The people present were all big bosses, and the rules were too complicated and they didn't like to listen, so Gao Yuan briefly summarized them.
"The first rule of the Entrepreneur Club - all members have equal status, and there are no vice presidents, directors, etc."
"There is only one rotating president every year, and the rotating president does not have much power. He is mainly responsible for convening the annual gathering. There is no restriction on the geographical location of the gathering. It can be held in the city where the rotating president's company is located, in other cities, or even abroad. However, you must choose a country with a high degree of safety, and don't go to places like Africa."
"The second rule - the association sets up a secretary-general, currently Ms. Xiao Xiao, who also does not have much power. His main role is to serve all members and collect annual membership fees. The current membership fee is 300,000 yuan a year, which is used for the expenses of annual gatherings."
"The third rule - there are currently 18 members in the Entrepreneur Club, and we will continue to recruit members. The specific process is to obtain the joint recommendation of three old members first, and then obtain the consent of two-thirds of the members before it will be approved. So it is very difficult to join our Entrepreneur Club, but those who can join are definitely the elite among the elites."
There is nothing special about these three rules.
It is originally a small group. If the president has too much power, other members will definitely not agree.
Therefore, whether it is the president or the secretary-general, the greater role is to serve all members.
Every year, we gather together and must not be absent. We get together to discuss future development trends, and we can also focus on a certain industry.
Everyone agrees with these three rules.
After no objection, Gao Yuan continued, "Today is the founding meeting. I will serve as the first rotating president. I will ask Secretary-General Xiao Xiao to send the schedule for the next three days to everyone's mailbox."
During the three days of the gathering, the first day was a tour in Hangzhou, visiting some historical and cultural buildings in Hangzhou. Everyone played and chatted, speaking freely. They could talk about things related to the economy and industry, or chat about other things, even gossip. It doesn't matter. The main purpose is to deepen the connection between members and let some unfamiliar members get familiar with each other.
The second day, we visited Yuanfang Group during the day, had an afternoon tea party, and got together to discuss. It was a more formal meeting. In the evening, we had a meal and drank together.
On the third day, Gao Yuan planned to take everyone to Zhejiang University, visit Zhejiang University, and hold talks with Zhejiang University's senior management.
By the afternoon of the third day, the party was over. Everyone could go back the same day or stay in Hangzhou for one night and leave by plane on the fourth day.
The three-day schedule seemed to be very full, but it was actually very relaxing.
After the first day of getting along, everyone was basically familiar with each other, and entrepreneurs would make some harmless jokes.
On the second day, everyone gathered at Yuanfang Group to visit and inspect Yuanfang Group.
Unlike the last time he received Mr. Wang, Gao Yuan took them on a tour of these entrepreneurs this time.
"Our Yuanfang Group has developed to this day and has nearly 700,000 employees. This is the headquarters, with about 200,000 people." Gao Yuan said, "A community has been formed here, with a total of 32 buildings, 18 coffee shops, 36 milk tea shops, and hundreds of restaurants."
This place is more like a particularly large community, with a total of 12 gates to facilitate employees to enter and exit.
There are more than 1,000 security guards alone.
Those coffee shops, milk tea shops and restaurants are all self-operated by Yuanfang Group, providing benefits to employees.
If employees don't like to eat in the employee cafeteria, they can also come here to eat and drink coffee.
"It's really shocking!"
The entrepreneurs and bosses in the same industry all said.
Yuanfang Group actually has more than 700,000 employees. Based on the average monthly salary of 15,000 per employee, the monthly salary that needs to be paid is about 10 billion.
You should know that Yuanfang Group is also a famous high-welfare company, and the actual expenditure is far more than 10 billion.
"Such a huge company, Mr. Gao, how did you manage it?"
A member asked.
"It's simple. You should delegate power when it's time to delegate power." Gao Yuan said, "Many bosses have to sign in person no matter how small the matter is, even if it's an investment of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars."
"They have a lot of things to do, and they are often not seen in the company. If no one signs a document, they have to wait, which seriously affects the operation of the company."
"So, you should delegate power when it's time to delegate power. I believe everyone knows the saying that if you doubt someone, don't employ him, and if you employ someone, don't doubt him. All the bosses are billionaires with a net worth of tens of billions. There are thousands or even tens of thousands of employees under them. If you really manage them so carefully, you will be exhausted sooner or later."
Management has always been a science, and this science needs to be constantly studied and learned.
"Mr. Gao, what you said makes sense, but if the power is delegated too much, those executives are likely to take kickbacks in the middle, which will damage the interests of the company." Another member said, "If we sign in person, it means we know where these tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars are spent, and we will have a bottom line in our hearts."
Once the chairman's signature is not required, it is difficult for them to figure it out.
"This is very simple. We can set up an audit and risk control department." Gao Yuan said, "I believe you have all heard about the investigation of senior executives in Yuanfang Group. Our Yuanfang Group has now set up a special audit department, and will conduct a comprehensive review of one of the departments."
"Once a problem is found, it will definitely be adjusted in time!"
When Gao Yuan thought of that incident, he felt a thorn in his heart.
He was just a manager of the purchasing department, who could only be regarded as a middle-lower-level manager in the entire Yuanfang Group, but he actually embezzled hundreds of millions.
Fortunately, most of the money was recovered in the end.
"The person in charge of the audit and risk control department must be someone he trusts." Gao Yuan said, "and during the audit, he must ensure fairness and objectivity."
"If you are still worried, I can suggest hiring an independent third party to conduct an investigation. It's nothing more than paying some money, but at least it can ensure that there will be no problems in the company."
These are all Gao Yuan's heartfelt words. Everyone is smart and almost understands it at a glance.
Give the company's senior executives authority, but hang a sword over their heads to prevent them from damaging the interests of the company for their own interests.
"Boss Gao, I think this method is feasible. I will definitely promote it after I go back."
Everyone agreed.
However, Gao Yuan did not comment on their ideas. In a company, there are only two types of people who are most likely to damage the interests of the company. One is the boss's relatives. Such people rely on their nepotism with the boss, so they are domineering in the company.
Even the superiors of these people dare not offend the boss's relatives easily.
The other type of people are the boss's confidants. Because they have gained the boss's trust, they are in charge of important departments in the company, which makes it easy for them to seek personal gain.
This situation does not exist at all in the current Yuanfang Group. Gao Yuan has clearly stipulated that his relatives cannot enter the company to work. Even if they found Gao's father, after the last incident, Gao's father was embarrassed to agree.
And Gao Yuan's confidants are basically his girlfriends. Gao Yuan's money is their money. They will definitely not harm the interests of the company. On the contrary, they will make the company develop better and better.
Next, Gao Yuan took everyone to visit various important departments.
For example, the HR department, the purchasing department, the planning department...
Gao Yuan led the way in front and explained to everyone, and everyone listened and talked.
"It's worthy of being Yuanfang Group!"
Qiu Bojun, who stood next to Lei Jun, said with emotion, "Although Mr. Gao is young, it is this kind of young people's thinking that can lead the entire company to better development."
"I am old, and I often can't keep up with the times."
Qiu Bojun is one of the first batch of people who got rich in China. He had a net worth of over 100 million a long time ago, and his net worth exceeded 10 billion when he retired.
That was 20 years ago, when Qiu Bojun was only in his forties.
If he could continue to work hard to develop, Qiu Bojun would have a net worth of at least 100 billion now.
"Mr. Qiu, that's because you look down on it. You always want to retire and enjoy life." Lei Jun said, "Young people certainly have the advantages of young people, but those of us who are older can't be looked down upon."
When I first met Lao Qiu, Lei Jun had just graduated from college and was much younger than Gao Yuan.
Time flies, and Lei Jun is now over 50 years old.
"Hahaha, Xiao Lei, there is no need to say more nice things. Mr. Gao is indeed a very capable person. I also think that the establishment of this entrepreneur club is very meaningful. It is better for everyone to discuss and work together than to think alone."
Qiu Bojun said, "Isn't Mr. Gao planning to set up a business school? I will work with Mr. Lei and serve as a part-time lecturer."
After retirement, apart from traveling, growing flowers and practicing Tai Chi, I am quite free.
It is better to continue to shine and heat up while I am still not lying down.
"I believe Mr. Gao will be very happy."
...
The morning visit lasted for four hours, but not even one-tenth of the area of Yuanfang Group was visited.
After lunch, everyone went to rest temporarily. The seminar was not officially held until three o'clock in the afternoon.
This seminar was an internal member meeting, and there were no reporters.
Including the founding meeting of the entrepreneur club yesterday, no reporters came to interview, let alone media reports.
In Gao Yuan's words, this kind of thing should be kept low-key.
Once a small circle is known to the public, is it still a small circle? Moreover, it may cause some unnecessary controversy.
Before the seminar began, Lei Jun brought Qiu Bojun to find Gao Yuan.
Although they had known each other two days ago, Gao Yuan and Qiu Bojun had not talked privately.
"Mr. Gao, the situation is like this. Aren't you planning to set up a business school?" Lei Jun said, "Mr. Qiu wants to be a lecturer at the business school."
So that's it!
Gao Yuan said, "You are very welcome. Mr. Qiu has been struggling in the business world for so many years. Your experience is exactly what those business school students lack. You can be a lecturer for them, which is also a valuable experience for them."
"I plan to talk about this matter at the seminar later."
"We can talk about it together then."
Qiu Bojun agreed with Gao Yuan's approach, "It is indeed necessary to establish a business school. The earliest business school in China was founded by Li Bancheng of Hong Kong Island, including Jack Ma, Ding Zhong, president of Anda Shoes, Fang Bo, president of Meidi..."
"According to incomplete statistics, among the top 500 companies in China, more than 98 group CEOs have studied in Li Bancheng's business school, and ten of them have entered the list of the world's top 500 richest people."
That's the world's top 500 richest people!
Li Bancheng's business school can achieve this step, which is really amazing.
The purpose of establishing a business school is to cultivate talents, and they are talents from the Faraway Department.
Gao Yuan was very interested in business schools before, and he was a nominal professor at Zhejiang University Business School.
Now Gao Yuan plans to establish his own business school, located in Hangzhou.
After the seminar started, Gao Yuan was the first to talk about the business school.
"As for me, I plan to set up a business school in Hangzhou. I believe everyone is familiar with business schools, so there is no need for me to introduce them in detail. The purpose of establishing a business school is naturally to select some potential companies for investment."
"Jack Ma has established a business school, which requires the company of the students to have assets of more than 30 million and to have positive profits for three consecutive years. Secondly, it needs the recommendation of two directors."
"This business school in our city is benchmarked against Jack Ma's business school, and it aims to cultivate entrepreneurs who are better than their business school."
"The temporary standard for accepting students is that the company's assets are greater than 50 million, and the company's employees must be greater than 100. For start-up companies, it doesn't matter whether the profits are positive or negative for three consecutive years, but they must be true and reliable. Similarly, if you want to study at the business school, you must have the signature of two directors, and then the review will be conducted."
Gao Yuan looked at everyone, "Regarding the selection of directors, members of our Entrepreneur Club have advantages and can become the first batch of directors. If someone doesn't want to join, I won't force it."
The name of the director of the Entrepreneur Club is still very loud.
If there are rich people who are permanent members of the richest list among the trainees in the future, it will be even more glorious.
And the cooperation between them will be very close.
Lei Jun was the first to express his opinion, "I have no objection. I am very interested in the business school founded by Mr. Gao, and I will definitely join it when the time comes."
After Lei Jun took the lead in expressing his opinion, others had no objection and agreed one after another.
"Okay, then this matter has been passed for the time being. Next, we will not talk about work, but only about economic development." Gao Yuan said, "In order to ensure the direction of the discussion, I have selected three topics. The first topic is the future changes in the world economy. Everyone can discuss based on this topic." (End of this chapter)
