SWNOVELXO Chapter 5: Absurd Changes... 1
Don't say, Sun Zan suddenly felt some kind of pressure the moment he arrived at the conference room.
Looking at the faces of everyone present, Sun Zan immediately knew what was going on.
Most of the people in the room have been with the Old Sun Group for too long and have long since developed a kind of temperament and mindset.
Pity, this is not something they should show him.
It is okay to have a temper, but it is absolutely not okay to have a temper in front of him.
But this kind of thing needed to be dealt with delicately.
At the very least, he had to ensure that operations were not paralyzed.
"Everyone, sorry for making all of you wait… there will be some changes coming along and I hope that all of you will cooperate with me.
Xiao San, please distribute these documents to everyone present."
Sun Zan's move directly caught everyone off guard.
It is well known that a new boss comes with new changes and they were prepared for it, but they never thought that Sun Zan would be so direct.
That is why they showed their temper from the beginning.
This was just a statement that they were not easy to mess with.
But it seems like Younger Sun did not care that much.
And the document they received confirmed this even more.
"Young Master Sun, according to this document, you plan to split the Sun Group and only retain the administration and legal departments… how is that supposed to work? Are you planning to turn the whole group into a law firm?"
"Yes, and what is this secretariat? All are young unmarried women under 26. The young master truly knows how to play, but you should not play here."
"Yes, and what is with this compensation and remuneration plan? If we follow this, it won't be long before a chief executive is paid the same as a wage earner… not to mention, with all these expenses, it'd be a miracle to break even."
"Also…"
Sun Zan watched as one executive after another put forth their opinions and the meeting suddenly became lively.
One thing that made Sun Zan relieved is that despite the bad culture that seemed to have crept in, everybody here was still thinking about profit and performance.
And he could understand this.
After all, his cheap father was very hands-off.
Most of the important decisions were left to the government agencies, while the small decisions were made by these executives.
Don't talk about strategic plans and whatnot. The Old Sun Group has hardly changed its strategy since its establishment.
Just serve the country well and they will take care of you.
"Okay, okay. I mainly came here to tell you that this is the general development direction of the group from now on.
You can mail your opinions and ideas to Xiao San after reading the document thoroughly.
Moving on…
Old Sun Group has been in business for a long time and our scope of operations is rather niche.
This means that we barely have any public presence.
Reputation that does not add to our goodwill is useless and may even be dangerous.
So your next task is to come up with proposals that can boost our public presence. Preferably, our CSR game should out-compete Alibaba, Penguin, and other big companies…
In short, every citizen should burn incense for us in the morning, pray for blessings at lunch, and toast to us at dinner.
You should also prepare your departments for the upcoming changes.
If you can't keep up, sorry, you will be replaced and exiled…"
Sun Zan talked rapidly and did not care much about everyone else's weird expressions.
He was also helpless in this matter.
If it were before the system, he would have also taken one step at a time and slowly won over power and all that corporate bull.
But the system changed everything.
His main concern now is the control of the company.
The government has too much say in the company.
All these people in front of him have a friend or relative in the system.
Most of their careers were spent around the system and they had long been assimilated.
Sun Zan did not doubt their loyalty toward the country… but it was precisely this that made him wary.
But it would be plain dumb to just overturn everything all at once.
Wouldn't it be good to have these senior citizens contribute to the country?
Just assign a few of them to their home provinces and have them build schools, welfare homes, hospitals, and roads.
Anyway, the Construction and Real Estate companies under the Old Sun Group have been idle recently…
Thinking of this, Sun Zan clearly stated his requirements.
He was not worried about backlash and whatnot.
These few people knew best the means of the Sun family.
Even if they disagreed, they still had to go over his head and seek his father or his grandfather.
Both of these people were more chill than the other.
His father would definitely remain silent lest the company falls back into his hands.
This is something he did not want to see.
Sun Zan could imagine that his father was already wearing his Khaki outfit and was itching to board a plane to Africa… world peace, foreign aid, and whatnot.
There was no way he'd listen to them.
As for his grandfather… as long as Sun Zan's actions did not harm the country and the people, he would not care much.
At most, give them a generous golden parachute and see them off.
Either way, it would help Sun Zan deal with some heat.
The changes he had in mind were insane enough.
The document in front of them was just the preliminary groundwork for the thing he would take out in the future.
Something like separating Production, Operations, and Management into different entities was just to create a veil.
This veil seems flimsy, but it is actually quite tough for outsiders.
The government does not count and foreign entities don't have the clearance to know about the Old Sun Group to that level.
In short, it will be enough to buy him some time to implement his crazy plans.
