Chapter 1589

Both Li Mu's parents and Zhao Ziqiu's parents feel that Li Mu's getting the GBE awarded by the queen of England is a very proud thing. However, in Li Mu's eyes, it's only part of his own deal with the royal family. If he is not willing to use his special advantages to pave the way for Prince William's future, the queen of England will not press the most senior medal at the bottom of the box Take out the chapter.

In such a special transaction, Li Mu takes his own resources as currency and the royal family takes their privileges as value. What Li Mu really wants is not a medal, but the help that the royal family can bring to him from the political level in the future.

When Zhao Xianliang heard that Li Mu wanted to pave the way for Prince William, he even put forward a suggestion: "Xiaomu, Prince William, as the crown prince, will have a lot of contacts with China in the future. It's sooner or later to officially appear on the political stage. In this case, it's better to let him assume the role of national image spokesman in advance. In this case, the royal family will be more grateful to you. ”Li Mu asked curiously, "Uncle Zhao, what do you mean?"

Zhao Xianliang said, "my suggestion is that you would rather invite William to visit China for your personal status." never mind that this visit is definitely related to our Chinese government. It's entirely your personal behavior. You invite him to visit China and visit your own business, such as Makino science and technology, Taobao, Alipay and Taobao. Liu, there are 3321 left. As long as he comes, even if he is a private person to do private meetings, the media will certainly report on him for a long time. At that time, William's name in China will be greatly improved, and he can even show his diplomatic potential to the British Parliament. It's not certain that he will be able to appear as a representative next time there is a national event. "

Li Mu's eyes suddenly brightened. What Zhao Xianliang said is indeed a way. If he does this, it will certainly have a great impact on William's popularity and support rate. Moreover, it will also deepen the impression and favor of Europe on China and Chinese enterprises, which can be said to be more than one stroke.

So Li Mu said in a hurry, "Uncle Zhao, thank you for reminding me. I'll arrange it later."

After Li Mu reported his work to the four elders, he asked about his mother's recent business progress curiously.

Li Ma, like many treasures, introduced all the clothing brands that have won the agency right one by one, and then said to Li Mu, "we have now opened 45 Direct stores in the province."

Li Mu asked in surprise, "so many?"

"Yes." Li Ma said with a smile, "the speed of opening a store is very fast. First, we need to do a general market research. If it's worth doing, we need to select a site immediately. Then, we need to build a store. The speed of building a store is very fast. From construction to acceptance, a store can be opened in more than two months, three months before and after, and the investment is not big. Last time you gave us that money, we used it to decorate department stores The rest of them are basically direct store channels, and then we put the store in the bank as a mortgage, and the bank gave us many preferential policies, basically ultra-low interest loans. "

Li Mu exclaimed, "it's hard for you to shop so many houses in a short time."

Li Pa said with a smile, "it's hard. It's just like playing. I drive to have a look. If I think it's good, I'll arrange someone to talk with the landlord and sign an agreement. The decoration company in cooperation will directly send the project manager and the surveying and mapping personnel to the scene. After a few days, the design drawings will come out. Then they'll go to several managers and find more small workers from the local area. It'll soon start."

"But you can't manage so many stores..." Li Mu really didn't expect that his parents would become more and more addicted to their own business. In a short period of time, he took so many general agents of brands and opened so many direct stores and more than 40 stores. This scale is too large to be frightening.

Li Ma smiled and said, "I don't care about the business in the store. More than 40 stores have gone out, and each store has a store manager. We sent the store manager after our personal training. Then your aunts, aunts, uncles, aunts and uncles are in charge of one or more stores, and they are in charge of supervision Supervise the store manager, follow up the operation data, and ensure the normal operation of the store. As for the inventory and sales, all of them are recorded in the computer system. How many pieces, how much money, and how much inventory are left in each store every day are clear in the system. Send several professional financial personnel to check it regularly. Up to now, there has been no mistake. "

Li Mu couldn't help but ask, "how is the profit situation?"

"Very good." "It seems that the purchasing power of ordinary people has gone up recently. Basically, the sales volume of all stores is growing steadily. The monthly net profit of most stores is between 50000 and 100000 yuan. In a larger city, about 100000 yuan, 80% of these profits are given to the company, 20% to the people in charge of the stores, and all of them are relatives of their own families," said Li Ma

Xie Yun can't help but remind: "sister Yunfang, although it's common to use relatives for business, there are still few relatives like you who basically use their own relatives. The more such a family industry is, the more difficult it is to manage and prevent rat warehouse. Otherwise, once the wind blows, it's too hard to break it back."

Li Ma nodded approvingly, and said: "I think about it with his father, so we put the scandal in the front. Whoever has the behavior of rat storehouse will take back a certain number of storefronts in his hands, cut off part of his income directly, take back all storefronts directly, and stop cooperation. Besides, we have a professional audit team, each of them has their presence The financial situation of each store is clear at a glance, and they dare not think about the strict supervision and punishment. "Xie Yun thumbs up and sighs, "it's still sister Yunfang who has a way to do it. The combination of grace and prestige and clear rewards and punishments are the two most critical criteria to maintain the family business."

Li Ma said with some embarrassment, "don't boast about me, sister. I'm just playing tricks in front of you."

Xie Yun said with a smile: "no, although Lao Zhao's business is quite big, he can't deal with the relationship between his relatives and the company's operation. Before, several of his relatives worked with him, and then they were basically cleared out. The reason is that they trusted too much from the beginning, plus the palliative strategy that was taken for the sake of affection. At last, others didn't know how to restrain at all But it's getting worse. At last, it's tearing my face. Even my relatives don't have to do it. "

Li Ma nodded and said, "we were worried about this at the beginning, but later I thought about it carefully with his father. My son is promising. It's OK for us to retire and enjoy life. But after all, our relatives have to take care of it. We can't live well in our family. We don't care about other people's families, but you say, we can't take care of it all, vulgar It is said that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. "

Zhao Xianliang said with a smile, "my sister-in-law is right. I can't ignore my relatives, but I can't support them purely by giving money. The best way is to bring them around so that they can have a better development prospect."

Li Ma said, "that's what we think, so we took some money from our son to run this stall. It's also a buffer between our son and these relatives. Otherwise, if relatives want to join in their son's business, our son can't leave. What he does there is a big business. We can't let relatives interfere with him."

When Li Mu heard this, he was shocked.

He didn't even think about it. His mother was trying her best to start a business, and even thinking about it for himself.

No wonder, no wonder that no relative of his has ever found himself directly and asked him to solve some problems. His mother cut off the beard.

She has planned some industries for all her immediate relatives, so that they can have a very stable and objective income, and have a decent career, save the possibility of seven aunts and aunts, and all kinds of cousins want to pile up in their own company.

Xie Yun's eyes at Li Ma suddenly increased her sincere admiration. Although she didn't mean to look down on Li Ma, she never imagined Li Ma as a very intelligent woman. But today, she found that Li Ma is not only very intelligent, but also has great wisdom.

In contrast, I didn't think of such a way to make a buffer for my husband in those years. When her husband's relatives swarmed in, she and her husband thought the same way. They arranged as much as possible and made them as much profit as possible. However, once they got into their own company, no matter in any position, they would turn into mouse storehouse. If they had been in the same year With this wisdom, you can easily invest a little money to build a "kinship firewall" for your husband on the periphery. The relationship between your husband and his family's relatives is not as rigid as it is now.

What's more, Li Ma's management attitude towards her relatives is also something that she admires very much.

Most people can't be objective enough in front of their relatives, and they are always bound by family affection, which affects the judgment of business, which is basically everyone's feeling.

If you are too hard for your relatives, you will be scolded with iron heart; if you are too soft for your relatives, you will often bring yourself huge losses and negative effects, and even affect the family itself.

So, the more this is, the more we need to use a set of effective methods to arrange relatives perfectly, not soft, not hard, and effective.

Li Mu was very pleased to see the strong female temperament that his mother showed unconsciously.

In the last life, when my mother was this age, she was overwhelmed by the economic pressure brought by her husband and wife's laid-off and her son's study. As a result, she grew old rapidly and became a middle-aged woman at the bottom who judged little every day. At that time, Li Mu's biggest impression was that every time she went home on holiday, her mother looked older and more haggard than before. She was in her forties It doesn't look different from people in their 50s.

In this life, my mother's whole body exudes confidence and calmness that has never been seen before. Not only does she not look old at all, but she is younger in temperament. What's more, she has found a career she likes and made great achievements. There is a big contrast between the two generations, which is almost different.

This is the most gratifying thing for Li Mu since he was born again.
