The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 3 Jia's Company
Although Jia Min was depressed, he still didn't give up.

Although he was born in a rural area in his previous life, his father and his mother, who was "better than all the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain plus one", worked together for more than ten years to create a man with a net worth of hundreds of millions. Agricultural and animal husbandry companies come out.

He himself was unambiguous, he was a master all the way, went to a prestigious university, then joined the army, went to a military academy, became a military academy instructor, and went to the front as a special operations captain, and went overseas with an aircraft carrier battle group to perform missions.

What is the Marine Corps?The elite of the military.What is a special commander?The best of the best!
However, these seem to be of little use for the time being.

At present, I am still a poor and white outsider, a wild species, and even Mrs. Wang, an old house girl who lives in a deep house all day long, dares to kill him. I will not be polite.

Or think about living first.

To survive, Jia Min is still confident, even though this is a strange world to him.

It's nothing more than suffering more.

I am precisely the one who is not afraid of hardship.Those devil-style training in the army, those hell weeks, wilderness survival training, even daily training, which one does not endure hardship?
However, this involves a survival platform issue.

If the starting point is high, the future achievements will be great; if the starting point is low, it will be much more difficult to achieve success.

From the current point of view, Jia's Mansion is still a relatively good platform for doing things.Even if it is now in decline, it is still a century-old store after all.Although it can only be regarded as a middle-class honorable family, after all, there are still connections and some resources such as Sigong Bawang and Jia Yuanchun.

But, will the Jia family give him such an opportunity?The answer is naturally no.

What if he was given a chance?Can he take on this responsibility?This is a road destined to be difficult.

Tossing and turning unable to fall asleep, Jia Min simply got up.Gently pushed the door open and went outside.

It's early summer now, and although it's a bit cool at night, those night bugs are chirping tirelessly.

Looking up, I saw a sky full of stars.This is a world without smog, and you can breathe the fresh air at night to your heart's content.

There was still a light on in a room in the main courtyard, which was Miaoyu's room.From the window, a shadow can be seen, which seems to be walking back and forth.

Such a beautiful night should be a good time to talk.Especially with a beautiful woman, it will be more emotional.

However, Jia Min quickly dismissed this idea.

After all, this is not my original world. Although there are many things about men and women, at least on the surface, the defense between men and women is still very strict.

If you just rashly go to find someone like this, I don't know how Miaoyu will react.It is estimated that nine times out of ten, he will put on a cold and scheming style, and severely reprimand himself.

If it's more extreme, maybe it's about looking for life and death, playing some games like swallowing gold and hanging yourself.

Sigh, let's restrain Chun Xin who is just about to move, and think about his own affairs.Tomorrow he will enter the Jia Mansion, and for the first time, impression points are very important.

The only way to avoid the fate of the Jia family's downfall is to start reforms as soon as possible.

What did the reform change?Nothing more than two points.One is money and the other is power.In fact, it is the redistribution of money and power.

This will inevitably touch the interests of those with vested interests.Who are the vested interests?Naturally, it is the top management of the Jia family.

The current Jia Mansion is like a large family company.The chairman is Jia Mu, and her maid, Yuanyang, is Dong Mi.

The vice-chairmen are Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Jing, and Jia Zhen, but none of these vice-chairmen seem to be competent.

Jia Jing devoted himself to cultivating immortals and didn't care about things at all.

Jia Amnesty doesn't care about family affairs when he's out, and when he manages, he tries to make money, embezzles public funds, or just drinks and plays with mistresses.

In his position, Jia Zheng did not plan for his own affairs and was unwilling to take care of things.

Jia Zhen is just having fun inside and out.

The others belonged to the managerial class, and Jia Lian only cared about making money for himself, "you have to take out what is in the oil pan and spend it."

Mrs. Wang is just playing tricks and playing tricks.

Wang Xifeng is capable, but only for herself, and there is no bottom line in doing things.It belongs to those who have talent but no virtue.

Mrs. Xing wanted to take care of things, but she couldn't intervene, and she didn't have the ability, so it would only be a disservice.

Youshi has some abilities, but he has no position or authority.

Jia Rong has the same virtue as his father, who only knows how to have fun all day long, not doing business.

Jia Baoyu, the second-generation official and rich second-generation and successor, is unwilling to take over. He has nothing to do all day long, sneaks into the pile of fat and powder, has nothing to do, picks up some starlets, flirts with gays, reads pornographic articles, browses pornographic websites and so on .Neither the ability nor the will to manage.

Li Wan and the girls just sit back and enjoy what they have, and have nothing to do in their free time, tinkering with literary salons, art exhibitions, family fashion shows and so on.

This is true for these shareholders, and even more so for the servants of the people who eat melons.Some powerful housekeepers, like Lai Da and his like, are busy with corruption, deceiving their subordinates and their superiors.The low-level women and maids who have no money and power are busy stealing, beating, and tearing each other.

Therefore, this century-old Jia's company, first of all, failed in terms of organization and management.

The entire management team, just the top and bottom.The most critical middle-level backbone has almost no decent talents.It presents an M-shaped structure with a collapse in the middle.The upper class fights for power and profit, internal friction and infighting.The lower levels are busy standing in line and hurting each other.

It is impossible for such a team to have any combat effectiveness.

Then there is the failure of financial management.

The first is out of control spending.

The men are out eating, drinking and having fun, causing trouble.

The women headed by Jia Mu are also worried.

Live in a luxury house, ride in a luxury car, eat big meals, and use beautiful utensils.Today is a holiday, tomorrow is a birthday.Three days a small feast, five days a big feast.During the New Year's Eve, there will be constant large and small halls, and there will be resident singers and poetry salons.Etiquette is extravagant, showing off and fighting for wealth.

For Jiamu's 3000th birthday, Ningrong and Rongfu held a birthday banquet together for eight days, and spent 150 taels of silver, enough for ordinary people to live for [-] years.

Qin Keqing's funeral lasted for 49 days. Jia Zhen even wrote Wang Xifeng an uncapped check, and the money could be spent freely.

The Grand View Garden was over-invested, and even the well-informed Jia Yuanchun thought it was too extravagant.

There are many redundant staff such as housekeepers, nurses, maids, mothers-in-law, long attendants, servants, rough envoys, sweeping maids, etc.

Up and down, corruption is rife.The masters accepted bribes and kickbacks and were busy enriching their small coffers.The housekeepers with power filled their pockets, while those without power stole.

Spend more, earn less.Those who make money are more, but those who manage money are less.There are many prodigals, but few fortunes.

The final result can only be as Leng Zixing said, there are many people who enjoy the honor, but there are no planners.Daily ostentation costs, but can not be frugal, sit and eat mountain empty.

A typical bubble economy scenario.

Expenses are out of control, what about income?

It is also very pessimistic.

The source of income of the Jia Mansion probably has several components.

One is the property left by the ancestors, such as silver, luxury goods, and land.shop etc.

Not to mention the first two, land and stores should be the source of main business income, but they do not account for much of the income and often suffer losses.

A company's main business is losing money. From this point alone, the operation is a failure.

The few who live on salaries have limited income.The royal reward is only symbolic.Concubine Yuan's reward may not be as much as the family's investment.

So, is there any new economic growth point?Is there any strategic transformation plan?nothing.

Ordinarily, the Jia Mansion still made several strategic investments, but they all failed.

First of all, it was about Jia Yucun. Although he helped settle the case of Xue Pan beating Feng Yuan to death, but in the final family raid case, he fell into trouble and severely pitted Jia's family.

Donated a county magistrate to Lai Shangrong, and when Jia Zheng sent Jia Mu's coffin back to the south, he would not be able to borrow 500 silver cars from him.

Although Jia Yuanchun's investment has achieved partial success, her life span was too short, and she fell out of favor and died early without waiting for much return.

The investment in Jia Baoyu's successor was a complete failure.

The most typical example is the investment in the Grand View Garden, which emptied the Jia family’s financial resources. The concubine Yuan visited her relatives for less than one night, and it was only used for Baoyu and the girls to live for a period of time, and finally it was left idle. It is a typical image project.

With the first two big defeats, Jia's company's corporate culture is doomed.

The whole Jia's mansion is full of the apocalyptic complex of timely enjoyment.

Ordinarily, this Jia's company is still very good in many aspects.

The working environment is good, it can be called a garden-style factory.Employees are paid well, with food, housing and clothing, and sometimes monetary bonuses and rewards in kind, and relatively high salaries.Employers are also more tolerant. Sometimes they know that there is corruption and laziness, but they don't go into it.

Arriving late, leaving early, meeting friends during working hours, leaving work, sleeping on work, shifting work and other violations of labor discipline are also trivial matters.

but.On the other hand, the hierarchy is strict and there is no future in sight.If you say hit, you can hit, if you say scold, you can scold.If you don't move, you will be served by the big board, or you will send it out casually, and match it with a kid.

Watching "A Dream of Red Mansions" always makes people feel that this place is full of scenes of the end of the world.

Among them, there are about 730 people with names and surnames, but 22 people committed suicide or became a monk.

There are 10 monks, including Jia Jing, Baoyu, Xichun, Zhen Shiyin, Miaoyu, Liu Xianglian, Zijuan, Fangguan, Ouguan and Ruiguan.

Those who committed suicide, Zhang Jinge, Chang'an Defensive Son, Qin Keqing, Ruizhu, Bao's Second Wife, Jin Chuan'er, You's Second Sister, You's Third Sister, Siqi, Pan You'an, Stone Nervous, and Yuanyang, totaled 12 people.

This kind of 12 consecutive jumps is comparable to the XX Kang company in later generations.

Yuanyang, as the chief secretary of the chairman of the Red Chamber, Jiamu, is loved by everyone even though she is a maid. Even if she is not a shareholder and master, she can be regarded as an executive.Even such a person is also worried that the chairman will not be able to protect himself after his death, and he will die in the end.

The foreman, Qingwen, was kicked out of the hospital just because of Mrs. Wang's suspicion, and died in the midst of illness and hatred.

The harshness of the living environment can be seen.

After Ningguo Mansion was ransacked, Mother Jia also tried to carry out some reforms, and took out her own small treasury to inject capital urgently.Prior to this, Tanchun, Li Wan, and Xue Baochai also tried to carry out reforms.However, in the end, the ending of defeat was still not saved.

None of their reforms can save the Jia family. I, Jia Min, an outsider with no foundation, wants to reform. Is it possible to succeed?

Forget it, don't try to change the world, but change yourself first.Trying to live a better life, dating two good girls, even if it's not in vain, it can be regarded as saving them from the sea of ​​suffering.

Go back to sleep, I will make my debut tomorrow.
