Chapter 222 Business Strategy

…

"Second, sell the company's private jets and luxury fleets; cancel the free season tickets for the professional baseball team 'San Francisco Giants'; cancel the luxury restaurant that only executives can enjoy, and the executive team of no more than 100 people, but every Consuming more than 2 million US dollars a month is too wasteful. In the future, everyone in the company must dine in a restaurant. Also, reduce the proportion of business travel reimbursement. Anyone traveling on business is not allowed to travel in first class, five-star hotels, and three-star hotels. Or economy class would be nice.”

Jonathan Weir's suggestion of cutting the benefits of the company's top executives without hesitation caused an uproar in the conference room.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult. Comfortable days are used to, and no one wants to live poor days again.

"Mr. Ware, I agree to save money to get through the crisis when the company is in trouble. But isn't your suggestion too much?"

"That is, we are company executives, not beggars begging on the street."

"If it is really implemented according to this standard, then I would rather resign, otherwise I will see my former friends again, and I will not be laughed at by them?"…

The overwhelming majority in the room expressed disapproval. For this situation, Jonathan Weir is not surprised. Back in Southern California, his same proposal was rejected by the board because of too much opposition. This time, he brought it up because he saw hope in Guo Shouyun. Through the previous research on the other party, he is very sure that he can win the support of the other party. Because, from companies such as Phoenix and Matrix, the same traces can be seen.

Noticing Jonathan Weir's gaze, the others gradually calmed down and focused on the silent young man in the center. No matter how they argue, this is the one who can really call the shots.

After realizing the change in the atmosphere, Guo Shouyun, who silently observed everyone's previous performance and took it to heart, smiled and said, "Jonathan, didn't you just say that you have three suggestions for throttling? What is the third one?"

"The third one is to renovate the company's aging pipelines. Whether it is in Southern California or the Pacific Ocean, there are many old pipelines built in the 1940s and 1950s. After long-term use, not only are they aging seriously, but there are also a lot of leakage, Risk of air leaks. This growing safety risk, if it turns into an accident, will not only cause significant losses to us, but also damage the company's reputation. In addition, the maintenance frequency of aging pipelines is high, which increases our labor Cost and equipment cost. If a comprehensive transformation can be carried out and replaced by more intelligent, more efficient and safer pipeline equipment, although the initial investment will be larger, the benefits will be long-term.”

Guo Shouyun nodded after thinking for a while, "Have you counted the investment in pipeline reconstruction?"

"It's calculated that on a three-year basis, it's about $1.2 billion a year."

"If all your suggestions to increase revenue and reduce expenditure are adopted, what changes will there be in terms of revenue and profit?" Guo Shouyun continued.

"Revenues are up about 18% a year and profits are up about 24%."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the eyes of the people around them gradually changed. They can sit in this seat, obviously they are not fools. Obviously, the new Boss agrees with Jonathan Weil's strategy of increasing income and reducing expenditure.

In fact, Guo Shouyun does agree. However, he also knew that if the senior management of the company were treated so harshly, if they wanted to stay at ease, they had to put a tempting sweet date in front of their mouths.

"Clap...!"

With Guo Shouyun taking the lead, reluctant applause broke out in the conference room.

"Thank you all for your remarks, especially Mr. Jonathan Weir. Now I'm announcing my new appointment."

Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious, and what Guo Shouyun said next would undoubtedly affect their future destiny.

“Pan Pacific Energy Group, will form a board of directors. I am Chairman and CEO. Mr. Jonathan Weir is Executive Director, Chief Operating Officer and CEO of Pan Pacific Power; Mr. Steve Jordan is Executive Director and Pan Pacific Public Company. CEO of the business company; Mr. John Roberts as the executive director and CEO of Pan Pacific Energy Trading Network; Mr. Kevin Durant as the executive director and chief financial officer of the head office; Mr. Ricky Causey as the executive director and chief risk officer of the head office Mr. Kevin Belden will serve as the executive director of the head office and the chief human resources officer!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun said calmly: "Mr. Balbey Douglas will serve as the non-executive director of the head office!"

The first gray-haired old man sitting on his right nodded. The former chairman and CEO of Pacific Power and Gas somewhat anticipated this outcome. After all, under his management, the Pacific is far worse than Southern California. As the leader of the company, he undoubtedly has the main responsibility.

Also, a company can only have one voice. Obviously, Guo Shouyun's business strategy for Pan Pacific Energy Group coincides with that of Jonathan Weir. So the result is obvious.

In the subsequent appointments, everything was as expected, and people with more rigorous and pragmatic work usually occupied the main positions in the new company.

Of those people, those who originally belonged to Southern California Edison made up the majority.

However, all found that about 10% of the people on the list were not pronounced by name.

"Those who are not on this list, I'm sorry, your cooperation with Pan Pacific Energy Group has terminated. Now... please leave!" Guo Shouyun said calmly.

With the corners of his mouth pursed, his sharp eyes showed a cold expression, and a strong oppressive force was added to the original stable temperament. At this moment, all the talents present really paid attention to this young new boss. Despite his youth, he displayed the decisiveness of a business leader.

"We are protected by labor laws, there is no reason why you can't fire us at will!"

A middle-aged white man with a pale face and a little panic in his eyes, but more of an angry man said.

"Yes, we need a reason!"…

People who were unwilling to be expelled shouted.

"Reason? Well, I'll give you a reason. ... Robert Manor, during your tenure as chief operating officer of Pacific Power and Natural Gas, you took advantage of the California government's unblocking of the energy trading market, the company's opportunity to sell its power plants, and the company's horse power and natural gas. The two natural gas power plants of Lin and Morno were resold to a financial entity named 'Eagle Claw' under the name of your wife at the reserve price. After holding them for half a year, they were sold to Duke Energy at a high price, and you made a profit of 12 million US dollars. "

"Chris Elkind, when you were the general manager of Pacific Power and Gas Greater Los Angeles, you worked with Jordan McLean, the company's chief financial officer, to embezzle $2.3 million from the company for three years!"

"Clyde Kaminsky, during your tenure as the human resources manager of Southern California Edison's Long Beach area, you put your relatives, friends, and a mistress into 17 middle and high-level positions in the company. Do you really think that The company is owned by your family, whoever wants to come in will come in?"

The next 13 people who were fired were named by Guo Shouyun one by one and told their mistakes.

Looking at these pale, terrified guys, Guo Shouyun said coldly, "If it wasn't for the acquisition of Pacific Power and Natural Gas, I promised Mr. Douglas that you would not be held accountable. What awaits you now is not dismissal, but San Francisco Jail 37."

Hearing this, Barbey Douglas, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help sighing in his heart. He was not entirely unaware of the corruption within the company. However, his too weak character caused him to worry about the company's internal turmoil and affect the company's revenue and stock price when dealing with it.

Later, the energy crisis in California distracted his attention from internal reforms. Until now, the interior of Pacific Power and Gas has been a mess. However, Guo Shouyun is not him. He can allow the company to still lose money due to the energy crisis, but he will never allow such a "big rat" inside the company.

"You...you really don't hold us accountable?"

"I never break my word."

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun waved his hand, too lazy to talk nonsense with these bastards.

After the guy who asked the question thanked him, he opened the door in embarrassment and walked out. The other expelled people followed in turn, and soon the conference room became quiet, no, it should be said that it became quiet.

Because among the people who stayed, some of the bottoms of the buttocks were not very clean. They don't know if the new bosses also have evidence of their corruption and malfeasance.

Looking at their calm or anxious eyes, Guo Shouyun, who had long understood the truth of 'when the water is clear, there are no fish', said: "I know that some of you have also made mistakes. However, looking at your previous contributions to the company , I can give you another chance. After the new company is formed, there will be a three-month inspection period. If you have done a good job in these three months, I can let it go."

Hearing this, many people were relieved.

After the big stick was over, Guo Shouyun took out the sweet dates.

“…I pursue meritocracy, variable compensation system and partnership system. Therefore, whoever can bring more benefits to the company in the next Pan Pacific Group operation will be able to get more bonuses. Bonuses 70% will be used to buy shares in the company and 30% will be reserved for your own use.”

"Boss, is it mandatory to buy company shares with bonuses?" Jonathan Weldau ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ That's right. It's not a good thing to have too much money in your hands. I hope that the company's elite can focus more on the company's management, instead of spending money and time on the luxury of living. In addition, I want to keep those who agree with the destiny of the company and work hard to make it better, rather than those who just leave for money or just grab a handful. "

The human mind is the most wonderful thing. At the beginning, Guo Shouyun faced a company with a bright future, such as Apple, Amazon, etc., and could not wait to keep all the shares in his own hands. Now with the accumulation of knowledge and rich experience, this 'miser' style of business is also changing little by little. Up to now, Guo Shouyun still believes that equity is very important. But on the condition that he has the absolute right to operate the company, he doesn't mind giving the rest of the shares to those business elites who can make the company grow rapidly.

After all, only when everyone gathers firewood can the flame be high! Now is not the time to get rich alone.

"Okay, that's it for today's meeting, the board members stay, and the others can leave."

As the others left, eight people, including Guo Shouyun, stayed. Logically, the composition of the board should be an odd number. But at present, Guo Shouyun does not plan to include new members when no more suitable candidates can be found. After all, the board of directors is the most senior decision-making level in the Pan Pacific Energy Group, and everyone here must be a top business elite who agrees with the company's destiny.

After the door was closed again, Guo Shouyun said: "You must also understand that the board of directors will be the top management of the company in the future. All major decisions about the company must be approved by the board of directors or myself."
