I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

Ji Sheng has been busy with the company's recruitment these days.

Fortunately, the general manager of the company was recruited, and Ji Sheng didn't have to do many things himself.

Here I have to mention the difference between the general manager and the CEO.

First of all, CEO and president are the same job. The former is the title of Western companies, and the latter is the title of Huaxia, which is the chief executive officer of the company. These two titles will only appear in the group company. In addition, the CEO is elected by the shareholders meeting It has the right to make decisions on all major business and operation matters of the company, including finance, business direction and business scope, and also has the right to participate in the decision-making of the board of directors and appoint and dismiss the company's top management.

In non-group companies, the general manager is the CEO, the boss of operation and management, second only to the boss, but in a group company, the general manager is smaller than the CEO. A group has only one CEO, but each subsidiary has a CEO. manager.

Ji Sheng's Huajin Capital belongs to him alone, it is not a group, and naturally there is no need for a CEO, the general manager is enough.

Since the other party was recruited as the general manager, Ji Sheng must be able to delegate power enough.

For example, in the interview now, he sat aside without saying a word.

Steve White looked at the red-haired white woman in her 30s with freckles in front of her, "Ms. Sophia Green, the headhunter company has already told you about our company, and the job they recommended to you is investment. Director of the Manager Department, if you were the head of the Investment Manager Department of Huajin Capital, how would you choose the company’s investment projects? Let me tell you in advance that although our company is a financial company on the surface, its main business is venture capital.”

Sophia Green said: "If I were the head of the investment management department of Huajin Capital, I would mainly invest in those emerging industries, such as pc, education, and technology, among which the information industry would be the first."

Ji Sheng nodded slightly when he heard that, the beautiful country in the 80s was a big manufacturing country, but after entering the 90s, it was dominated by the information industry.

I have to say that this lady named Sophia Green is still very strategic.

"The company has just been established, and securities, insurance consulting, business information consulting, financial consulting and other businesses are temporarily outsourced to Erickson. What do you think about this?" Steve White continued to ask.

Sophia Green said with a serious face: "In the early stage of the company, these businesses can be outsourced to other companies, but once the company is on the right track, these businesses must be in our own hands, especially the three businesses of securities and insurance trusts, which are the main business of the company. In terms of profitability, if we rely solely on investment management, it will be difficult to make the company profitable in a short period of time and maintain enough competitiveness.”

As soon as Ji Sheng heard it, he knew that this woman had real skills. The most direct form of a company is to have funds and then invest. At present, the funds of Huajin Capital are all provided by Ji Sheng himself, and there is nothing in a short time , but if you want to support a company to go public, it may take several years. It is impossible for him to spend money in it for several years without making a profit, right?

Steve White followed up with a series of inquiries.

In the end, Sophia Green's answers were all excellent.

Steve White was very satisfied, and leaned next to Ji Sheng and whispered: "Boss, I think we can let her try it."

Ji Sheng looked at his watch, and then at the phone on the table, "I think it's okay, you are the general manager of the company, so you can make up your mind."

"Okay, thank you boss for your trust." After Steve White finished speaking, he looked up and said, "Congratulations, Ms. Green, you have temporarily obtained the position of head of the investment manager department of Huajin Capital. During the probationary period, if your work satisfies me, you will officially become an important puzzle piece of Huajin Capital."

"Thank you." Sophia Green thanked.

There is no need to discuss the salary with Ji Sheng and Steve White. The headhunting company has already mentioned the salary when they help find these high-level talents, as long as they pass the interview and sign the contract directly.

Next came the interviews with the directors of the General Office and the Finance Department. After the senior talents were recruited, the head of the General Office would personally preside over the recruitment of middle and low-level staff.

Ji Sheng originally wanted to sit in the township, but when he was interviewing the head of the general office, he received a call from Darren Woods, asking him to rush to Exxon immediately, saying that he would have something important to tell him after the EGM was over. .

After he answered the phone, he said to Steve White: "I have something to go out, you can continue with the next interview."

"Good boss." Steve White said.

Ji Sheng didn't say anything more, picked up his coat and walked outside, and drove to Exxon in the car that the company and the car rental company had contracted for a long time.

……

Just as Ji Sheng was on his way.

Exxon Corporation is holding an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.

The general meeting of shareholders is the highest authority of the company. Generally, except for the annual general meeting of shareholders, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders will not be held without major circumstances.

For example... related to the change of directors of the company!

Inside the large auditorium.

All the major shareholders of Exxon were present, and many small shareholders also came. The combined shareholding ratio of these people reached more than 90.00%.

Exxon’s current assets are nearly 800 billion U.S. dollars, but the market value of the listed part is 600 billion U.S. dollars. Most of these shares are in the hands of major consortiums or institutions, and the value of shares held by ordinary people is only about 40 billion. about.

Assets and market value are two different things. It does not mean that the company is worth as much as the market value.

The general meeting of shareholders is generally presided over by the chairman of the board of directors.

But today, when the shareholders arrived at the scene, they realized that this was not the case.

Darren Woods actually sat in the presiding seat, while Chairman Lawrence sat aside with a cloudy expression.

"Good morning, shareholders and directors. Some people may be wondering why today's board meeting is not chaired by the chairman, but by me." Darren Woods looked at the hundreds of shareholders sitting there, "This is not the same as this temporary meeting." It is related to the general meeting of shareholders, Chairman Lawrence will announce it to you in public."

As he said that, he looked at Lawrence with the eyes of a king and a loser.

The other shareholders also sensed the unusual taste, and all looked towards Lawrence.

Lawrence took a deep breath, stood up and said: "Recently, a major oil spill occurred in the company. As the chairman of the company, I failed to provide a timely response plan, which caused huge losses to the company. In front of the shareholders, I announce my resignation from all positions on the board of directors!"

"what?"

"what?"

"Lawrence resigned?"

"This...what's the matter?"

All the shareholders who didn't know about it were all fooled.

Only a few informed faction shareholders showed different reactions.

People from the Vanguard and State Street factions sneered.

People from the Black Rock Group faction looked ugly.

In the past few days, Darren Woods has personally presided over the handling of the crude oil spill accident. I don’t know if his misfortune played a role, or he deepened his relationship with the media, local government, environmental protection organizations, and the public, or he rushed to Prince Bay in the first place. The cleaning of the oil pollution in person was broadcast live 24 hours a day. The public, the media, and local government organizations not only forgave Exxon, but also expressed sympathy and gave them a higher degree of trust than before the accident.

Of course, this is not an important reason for Darren Woods to successfully force the palace.

There are two more important reasons.

First, he succeeded in the challenge.

Second, many customers who were previously lost due to the company’s inaction, after seeing Darren Woods’ deeds on behalf of Exxon, chose to believe again, and renewed the contract with Exxon, with orders reaching dozens One hundred million U.S. dollars.

It fully shows that Ji Sheng gave Darren Woods the right public relations plan, so he was able to force the palace successfully.

Of course, Lawrence can also be tough and uncompromising.

But if Lawrence does not want to resign with dignity, Darren Woods and the powerful faction of Vanguard Group and State Street Bank will help Lawrence resign with dignity.

In any case, Lawrence had no choice but to resign this time, which was nothing more than being decent or not.

Anyone who is not a fool knows how to do it is the right way.

Aggrieved, Lawrence chose to resign voluntarily.

The company cannot be without an owner for a day. When Lawrence resigns, the chairman's seat must be filled, and the director's seat must be filled by someone else.

Obviously, this EGM is to elect Exxon's new chief executive officer and which faction can get more proxy rights.

The answer speaks for itself!

Shareholders have only one thought in mind now, Exxon... the sky has changed!

……

It was about ten o'clock in the morning when Ji Sheng felt Exxon.

He waited in the reception room for more than an hour.

It wasn't until almost twelve o'clock that there was a commotion from the Exxon auditorium.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps sounded one after another.

Ji Sheng looked out through the glass of the reception room, and saw a large group of people walking towards the proud Darren Woods.

At this moment, Darren Woods' face was flushed, as if he had won an incredible battle.

When Darren Woods came to the door of the reception room, he told the others: "You accompany the shareholders to dinner first, and I will meet a distinguished guest."

"Good chairman."

"Chairman, you are busy first."

The others spread out.

Darren Woods pushed open the door of the reception room and walked in with a smile on his face.

Behind him were Barkley, Aignan, and a 27-year-old short-haired white woman whom he had never seen before.

"Oh my brother season."

As soon as Darren Woods came in, he spread his hands to hug Ji Sheng.

Ji Sheng probably already guessed what was going on, stood up with a smile and hugged Darren Woods, "Mr. Woods..."

"Call me Darren." Darren Woods looked at him with a smile.

People in Pretty Country usually call each other by their surnames. For example, Darren Woods' surname is Woods. Ji Sheng has always called each other Mr. Woods before, and he will only call each other's name when they are close enough to each other.

Darren Woods asked Ji Sheng to call him "Darren", obviously he decided to become friends with Ji Sheng in a real sense.

Barkley and Aignan have similar attitudes.

Darren Woods also introduced the pretty woman by the way, "Ji, she is the newly elected director of the company at the shareholders' meeting, and her name is Emily Horne."

"Hi Miss Huo Yin." Ji Sheng stretched out his hand.

Emily Horne shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ji, thank you very much for being one of the directors of the company this time."

Ji Sheng understood what she meant, and it was nothing more than saying that he helped Darren Woods to make suggestions, so that the Vanguard Group and the State Street Bank faction got an extra board seat.

"Ji, let's sit down and talk." Darren Woods invited him to sit down with a smile.

Ji Sheng knew that the other party wanted to repay him, otherwise he wouldn't have called him to come over while the shareholders' meeting was still in progress.

Exxon is an oil giant with assets of 800 billion US dollars, and Darren Woods is now the chairman. If he really wants to repay, Ji Sheng believes that he will definitely get enough benefits.

What benefits will it give itself?

Ji Sheng looked towards Darren Woods.
