Chapter 277: Establishing Authority Upon Taking Office
“Xiao Xi, you’re joking! I think just the name ‘Heng Can Glazed Ware’ is very striking, with profound meaning, making people remember it as soon as they hear it!”
Dong Wen stroked his small mustache and nodded!
“Hehe, if Uncle Dong thinks it’s good, then it’s good! I hope we won’t let it down in the future!” Li Xi’er said with a faint smile.
“Furthermore, for example, the branch development plan you mentioned, establishing a design studio to design glazed ware into daily-use glass to face the mid-end customer group, and researching its sturdiness for use in house renovation.”
“Also, designing it into various glazed ware ornaments, decorative items, small accessories, collectibles, and other luxury goods to face high-end people, with its uses able to extend and expand infinitely!”
This is no longer just making those transparent cups, vases, and bowls he made before; this will develop the uses of his glazed ware to a larger space and higher level.
“Establish project team! Design team! Testing team! Quality inspection team! Sales team! After-sales service team! Management level!”
With a one-to-one management system, it’s no longer a general setup where a single steward holds all the power and can hide behind to throw their weight around! It will manage the Glazed Ware Company much better, and it also marks the specific tasks each team needs to handle.
“As well as the office renovation layout, proposing to re-layout and renovate the making space inside the factory, which ensures confidentiality, reconstructs the space for cooling glazed ware products, updates some new equipment, and builds systems for employee welfare, performance, and commissions!”
The further down I read, the more surprised I feel!
“Xiao Xi, Uncle Dong will now call together the other stewards in charge at the factory to discuss! This is also a good chance to introduce you to them!”
Dong Wen picked it up and skimmed through it roughly, not expecting her efficiency to be so high; it’s written very detailed, and the planning goes deep into his heart. After reading, he immediately said!
“Good!”
In no time, Dong Wen gathered his subordinates who handle affairs, held a meeting to discuss, and right at the start introduced Li Xi’er’s position!
“Everyone, quiet down. This is the new master of the Glazed Ware Company. I specially called you here today to meet her and arrange the next steps!”
Those people sized her up and whispered among themselves for a while. These past few days, they had vaguely heard Boss Dong mention that a new owner would come to this glazed ware divine society.
Everyone had different thoughts in their minds. Logically, some of them have worked here for many years, so how did the Glazed Ware Company suddenly change owners?
They didn’t know if she would be easy to get along with. When they asked the owner, he didn’t say much. It would be fake to say they weren’t upset. That day when Li Xi’er came to the Glazed Ware Company, some hadn’t seen her, and some were working in the operation room at the time and were all driven away!
They had vaguely heard that he was a person of the God of War Prince. Although he was a commoner, you still had to look at the master when beating a dog; they couldn’t afford to provoke him, but inwardly they felt contempt. What ability did this new master really have?
After pricking around for half a day, it turned out to be this young young master right in front of them! Seeing him with fair skin and tender flesh, and acquainted with the prince, was it relying on that kind of relationship?
Or did this Glazed Ware Company have a relationship with the prince?
At such a young age, did he really have experience? Being a master requires real abilities, experience, and connections through genuine effort.
Of course, they still needed to keep these technical personnel with rich experience.
“Hello everyone, my name is Li Xi’er, the new owner of Heng Can Glazed Ware. Of course, our Uncle Dong is still your master. We are in a partner relationship. I hope you can unite as one and work with us to develop and strengthen the Glazed Ware Company, making it the best and most distinctive glazed ware in Feng Lan Kingdom, selling our glazed ware throughout Feng Lan Kingdom and to the whole world!”
“What?”
Such a big tone, and another round of chatter. For glazed ware to sell and become popular from the suburbs of the Imperial City into the city center is already very difficult.
How could he dream such big dreams right upon arrival, and put such great pressure on them!
New official takes office with three fires. This pretty boy faced a black mass of them who were all older than him without showing any stage fright, naturally commanding respect, expressing himself with very clear logical thinking!
Someone rolled their eyes!
“Alright, next, you all introduce yourselves first. Steward, report this month’s sales situation and the problems encountered in making one by one!”
Right at the opening, she proposed that they introduce themselves one by one and give a summary report of this month’s work, then she roughly explained their next-step plans and goals!
Wang Zhangsong, the steward in the operation room, was an old-timer in the factory; even fellow workers respected him. He immediately turned hostile: “Master, what employees you give me are what employees we have. We follow Boss Dong’s instructions and bury our heads in work. What plans, what summaries—those fancy tricks, the master didn’t say, so no!”
Li Xi’er looked at him coldly, making him baffled, and said faintly, “Wang steward, you manage dozens of people in the making room, yet you can’t even produce a summary—what qualification do you have to hold the position of making room steward? The pay isn’t low, three taels of silver a month. Since that’s the case, then let’s replace you!”
Not to mention the bribes he gets from eating and drinking with customers outside!
“What?” Wang steward quickly looked at Boss Dong. Dong Wen said nothing and didn’t help him!
He also couldn’t stand this person, who often slacked off relying on being an old-timer, but he had experience and knew some technology, so he had always been hesitant: first, afraid of not finding a suitable replacement; second, afraid he would take away the Glazed Ware Company’s technology and all customer resources. He knew this was probably Xiao Xi wanting to establish authority, and he happened to be the gun pointed at!
“Boss Dong, you are the owner—will you let a young brat ride on your head and throw his weight around?”
“Wang steward, as I just said, this is the new owner of our Heng Can Glazed Ware! He takes the major shares, I only take the minor part!”
His words stunned everyone, like a blow to the head, giving them a wake-up call.
Li Xi’er then looked at them and let out a cold snort.
“Hmph! Our Heng Can Glazed Ware will be full of creativity and challenges in the future. The stewards we need are not just those who mechanically do the tasks at hand, but professionals with creative thinking, pioneering spirit, and good character, who bring value to the Glazed Ware Company!”
“Naturally, those who can bring value, I won’t treat you poorly. I will share profits by proportion, or take out part of the project as rewards to encourage you to keep going!”
“As ordinary technicians and workers, you can work steadily; as long as you do the work at hand to the extreme, the pay will naturally not be short. I will examine your professional levels one by one. But if you do substandard work, hold back, or play little tricks, don’t blame me for not reminding you—I will make you pack up and leave immediately!”
For basic employees, doing the work to the extreme is already not simple!
Using both soft and hard tactics, with clear rewards and punishments—how can they muddle through now?
Then Dong Wen passed the document around for them to view one by one!
That Wang Zhangsong felt his face slapped and was extremely displeased. Seeing so many teams established on this form, his position and power being divided.
Looking at the situation, it seems this new owner has plans regarding whether he stays or goes?
