A great man once said: There is no party outside the party, the idea of ​​emperor; there is no faction within the party, all kinds of strange! This is true of the politics of a country, and the same is true of the politics of a company!

The entire Orient Group has nearly 100,000 employees worldwide. It is impossible for a company of such a large scale to be without office politics. After all, the five fingers of the same hand are long and short, not to mention a person with independent thinking.

Everyone has different starting points for the same thing and different interests, so naturally they will have completely different judgments. There are also various interest factions in the Oriental Group, but as long as it does not affect the overall situation of the group, Li Xuan doesn't mind that there are some interest struggles in the company. After all, there is competition to have a sense of crisis and to stimulate greater vitality!

Because it has been less than ten years since the birth of the Oriental Group, and the speed of its growth is also a miracle in the entire business history. This high-speed barbaric growth has kept the governance structure of the entire Oriental Group in a state of instability, and it needs to be constantly upgraded to meet the company's development needs.

On the one hand, this kind of instability makes it too late for the management of the group to form authority, so it will not pose a threat to the boss Li Xuan, but on the other hand, it will also bring about many problems in running-in.

Especially when the Oriental Group is expanding on a large scale in Europe and the United States, there is still a big difference between the Western business culture and the Chinese business culture. Although Hong Kong is a British colony and is deeply influenced by British business rules, managers in Hong Kong and managers in Europe and the United States still have many differences in concept when managing enterprises.

The Greater China region based on Hong Kong is the headquarters of the Oriental Group. Therefore, even if the company lacked talents in its early development and needed to poach a large number of people from Europe and the United States, the talents introduced by Li Xuan at that time were mainly of Chinese descent, because this way there would be no cultural conflicts.

Although Oriental Group is an Asian company, its main market is in Europe and the United States. Especially after the continuous mergers and acquisitions of overseas companies. The number of European and American executives in the group began to increase. For example, Mr. Hawke, the current chairman of Ikon Corporation, Mr. Martin, the chairman of the company (Computer Garden), and Mr. Bradshaw, the chief executive officer of Oriental Commercial Corporation.

Bradshaw, the former chairman of the board of directors of ra company, was transferred to Dongfang Commercial Co., Ltd. as an executive because of the pollution incident in the Taiwan factory. Yes within the Eastern Group. The number one interest spokesperson for European and American executives.

After more than three years of decomposition and digestion, Dongfang Group has completed the complete integration of ra company. Most of the fringe businesses within the ra company have had fire sales, and the manufacturing process of products has shifted from North America to Asia, where production costs are lower. The R&D department of ra company is basically merged into the American R&D center of the Oriental Research Institute, and the distribution channels are absorbed by the Oriental Commercial.

Now the ra company basically has only one skin left. If it weren't for the high popularity of the ra brand in the American market, Li Xuan would have written off the company directly. However, although the RA company has been hollowed out, Bradshaw's influence in the Oriental Group has not declined but increased. In the past two years, he has faintly become the third person in the group after Han Peng.

ra company before being annexed by the Oriental Group. It was originally an old American electronics company. Bradshaw, the chairman of the board of ra company, had a much higher status and influence when he joined the Oriental Group than Hawke and Martin in those years.

Bradshaw is not only high, but also lucky! Shortly after Oriental Group acquired ra, the Taiwanese factory pollution scandal broke. In the face of strong public pressure, she had no choice but to resign as chairman of the ra company's board of directors and leave the United States.

But he didn't expect that this would also become the start of his new career, because he had newly taken over the Oriental Commercial Company. Its status in the entire Eastern Group is only higher than that of RA. Then, in line with RA's large-scale move to transfer production capacity to Asia, Bradshaw quickly established a firm foothold in Oriental Commercial.

And because the Oriental Commercial Company undertakes. Providing business support in intelligence collection, market development, and after-sales service for other subsidiaries in the group plays a vital role in the business operation of the entire group.

Bradshaw began to gradually improve his voice and influence in the entire group by relying on the close business ties with other subsidiaries in the group. As for the rise of Bradshaw, it is naturally Han Peng who feels the greatest threat.

As the number two person in the Oriental Group, he theoretically has the authority second only to the big boss Li Xuan. And Li Xuan also gave him full trust. Especially in recent years, as Li Xuan's involvement in the group's daily affairs has been decreasing, Han Peng has begun to take full responsibility for the operation of the entire Oriental Group.

However, due to the fact that each subsidiary of the Oriental Group, especially the listed subsidiary, generally has a relatively large independent decision-making power. In the design of the rights of the entire group, Li Xuan also established a manager's meeting as the highest decision-making body.

Therefore, although Han Peng is expensive as the president of the Oriental Group. But the actual power has been severely squeezed from the top and bottom. Taking advantage of the growing scale of the Oriental Group and the increasingly difficult governance, Han Peng began to gradually expand the decision-making power of the group headquarters on the grounds of strengthening unity and coordination from a global perspective.

However, the existence of Dongfang Commercial Co., Ltd. has enabled many businesses to bypass the headquarters and be directly matched by subsidiaries, which undoubtedly greatly weakened the headquarters' right to speak to the entire group's business.

For example, the dispute between Ke Lilun and Wimberon's vice president of Oriental Business is actually a dispute over the layout of the industry. Not long ago, the Oriental Research Institute finally successfully completed the formulation of technical standards and can begin formal commercial promotion.

As the video playback market in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan has long been occupied by video recorders. Especially in the United States, the world's largest consumer market, the video rental market is a very large industry.

Revenue from the distribution of videotapes is one of the most important sources of profit in the Hollywood film industry after the box office. And video rental stores across the United States have created hundreds of thousands of jobs across the United States.

, Sony and other Japanese companies took ten years to gradually develop a mature US video market. If Dongfang Group wants to replace it with it, it will inevitably be severely blocked, which is extremely detrimental to the promotion of this new product.

Therefore, in order to formulate a commercial promotion strategy, Dongfang Group is ready to start from the market where video recorders have not yet been fully popularized. For example, the Asia-Pacific market has begun to start. As for who should undertake the task of promotion, Dongfang Commercial Company is naturally the first choice within the group. Therefore, the newly vacant position of vice president in charge of business in the Asia-Pacific region in the Oriental Commercial Company has become a key point of contention among multiple factions.

According to Han Peng's view, it is one of the important products of the Oriental Group in the next five years. If it can eventually replace the VCR. Become a new generation of audio and video playback tools, then its potential market is unlimited.

The industrial chain will become one of the important new profit growth of the Oriental Group in the future. For such an important project that affects the future earnings of the entire group, Han Peng naturally believes that the headquarters should carry out unified operational planning.

In this way, Dongfang Commercial Co., Ltd. has only become the executor of the project. This is naturally what Bradshaw does not want to see. He prefers to have the decision-making power of the entire project.

"I was involved in the power struggle between Bradshaw and Han Peng this time. Li Sheng called me to ask for my opinion. I replied that he hoped to give it a try. Only then did Li Sheng personally come to support me. !" Ke Lilun took a sip of wine and smiled wryly at Zhong Jinghui.

Although he performed well in his previous work in the Deep Sea Special Zone, his age and experience are short compared to his rival Wimberon. Wimbron is forty-five years old, a Singaporean. He joined the Orient Group three years ago and is currently working in the Marketing Development Department of the Group's headquarters.

Wimbron spent ten years at Ampere Panduit Electronics before joining the Eastern Group. During his tenure at Ampere Panduit, Wimbron was responsible for the development of the Southeast Asian market for a long time. He has a rich understanding of the markets of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries.

Ampere Panduit was one of the largest electronics companies in Hong Kong before the rise of the Oriental Group. Before Han Peng was poached by Li Xuan. It is also the vice president of Ampere Panduit (Hong Kong), so Wimbron can be regarded as Han Peng's direct descendant.

If Wimbron was appointed as the vice president of Oriental Commercial, Han Peng would not only be able to successfully seize the actual control of the promotion plan, but also mix sand under Bradshaw's nose. And Bradshaw naturally wouldn't let Han Peng's plan succeed, but his choice was very smart, and he didn't introduce his own candidate. Instead, he strongly recommended Corellian.

As Li Xuan's former assistant, Ke Lilun has a special status in the Oriental Group. In the eyes of outsiders, he is not only one of Li Xuan's most trusted people, but also acts as Li Xuan's eyes and ears.

Not just him, the secretariat serving the big boss Li Xuan. It is also a very special department within the Eastern Group headquarters. The secretariat is only responsible to Li Xuan, and has the right to bypass Han Peng, the group president, and get involved in anything within the group.

"It's a rare opportunity! If I were you, I wouldn't be able to give up such a good opportunity! After you are promoted to vice president of Oriental Commercial, you will have the opportunity to attend the meeting of top managers within the group, which is half a foot into the top decision-making. Floor!

What's more, the position of vice president of Oriental Commerce is no better than that of vice presidents of other companies. You can interact with almost all the subsidiaries in the Oriental Group here! For example, the company (Computer Park) recently plans to open a chain flagship store in Jakarta. But Ma Wen's actions cannot be separated from the assistance and support of Oriental Commercial, and these are important contacts for your future development! "Zhong Jinghui sighed.

As Li Xuan's assistant, he is very proficient in the various businesses of the Oriental Group. The Marvin in his mouth is Marvin Bush, the current president of the company's Asia-Pacific region, and Marvin's father is Bush Sr., who has announced his participation in this year's US election.

"Ahui, I can say that this time I'm biting the bullet, and I'm bound to be observed by someone with a microscope. You may need to trouble you with many things in the future. I'll toast you here first!" Respectfully.

As the saying goes, the prime minister is a seven-rank official in front of the gate, but the assistant of "God of Wealth Li" is one of Li Xuan's most trusted people, and he is by no means comparable to the gatekeeper! Ke Lilun himself was Li Xuan's former assistant, and naturally he knew very well the huge value of the tiger skin of "God of Wealth Li".

For example, even if Zhong Jinghui suddenly called Taipan Pu Weishi from HSBC in his own name, the other party would definitely make time to meet him. Because no one knows whether his assistant will leak important information related to the Eastern Group. And if it is an ordinary person, it is by no means easy to make an appointment with the HSBC executive.

"I was also thanks to Brother Lung for taking care of me at the beginning, so it's too outlandish of you to say this today! As long as it is useful to me, I will do my best." Zhong Jinghui also grabbed the glass and drank it.

When Zhong Jinghui had just been selected by Li Xuan as his new assistant, all the handover work was done by Lilun Colleague himself. The entire handover process lasted for nearly three months. Ke Lilun did not hide any details that he needed to pay attention to after becoming Li Xuan's assistant, but passed it on to the other party without reservation!

This allows Zhong Jinghui to quickly enter the working state, and he is also grateful for this. Moreover, the two are Li Xuan's assistants. Although their status in the Dongfang Group is relatively detached, they are actually relatively isolated.

Especially the current assistant, Zhong Jinghui, it is difficult for him to have deep friendship with other people in the group out of suspicion. But Ke Lilun is an exception, because he has gained the trust of Li Xuan. There is no need to worry about the communication between the two, and things that should not be leaked will be revealed. Because Ke Lilun knows little secrets, no less than that!

"By the way, the Karrie Group has a reception the day after tomorrow. Mr. Guo Henian sent an invitation letter to invite Li Sheng to attend! Li Sheng is not very interested in these activities, so I guess he will ask me to attend on his behalf. If you are interested , why don't you come with me!" Zhong Jinghui thought about it and said.

As one of the most famous Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia, Guo Henian has a huge influence in places such as Malaysia and Singapore. If Ke Lilun can befriend the Guo family, it will undoubtedly help him develop the Asia-Pacific market.

And because of the wrestling between Bradshaw and Han Peng~www.readwn.com~ let Ke Lilun, the new vice president in charge of the Asia-Pacific affairs of the Oriental Commercial Company, the next work will definitely be paid more attention by some people, so he urgently needs to integrate quickly. business districts in the Asia-Pacific region. And Zhong Jinghui, as the assistant of "God of Wealth Li", is the sweet bun in the eyes of many people, and he happens to be one of the best candidates to introduce people.

"Do you have any specific plans for the next promotion work?" Zhong Jinghui knew exactly what the most important work for Ke Lilun would be next.

"We are still conducting preliminary market research work. If there is no accident, we will focus on the market in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia! The biggest advantage compared to video recorders is that the price is cheaper. Whether it is a decoding chip or a magnetic head, our own industry chain All can be supplied, and the cost can be reduced to a minimum!

The huge prosperity of the Hong Kong film industry also happens to provide a lot of attractive content support for promotion in the Asian market! Asian Pictures has been very active in promoting copyright acquisitions in recent years, and now it has the largest film library in Hong Kong. This allows you to have a more relaxed foundation in terms of playback content! "Colilan briefly introduced.

If you want everyone to buy a DVD player, in addition to being more affordable than a VCR, the most important thing is to have a rich supply of discs! In recent years, the popularity of Hong Kong movies in the Asian market has also provided great convenience for Dongfang Group to promote DVD players. (To be continued.)
