Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Chapter 594 The First Company Meeting

By 2 p.m., the conference room was already full of people.

Because the people in each department are not yet familiar with each other.

Therefore, everyone was quite reserved.

However, although everyone felt they didn't talk much, everyone's expressions were quite relaxed.

Because the company is still in the trial operation phase.

There are no hard and fast requirements.

Everyone was a newcomer, and there was no backstabbing or infighting.

Therefore, the atmosphere at the meeting was peaceful and harmonious.

When Meng Chuan walked in, everyone's eyes were on him.

Some of the earliest employees have been with the company for almost a month.

Today is also the company's first all-hands meeting.

Apart from a few people who had met Meng Chuan in person during their interviews.

Many of the other people were meeting Meng Chuan for the first time.

Because when Meng Chuan comes to the company, he's either in the office or in the production workshop.

Many people outside the production workshop had never seen Meng Chuan before.

This is a legendary philanthropist and a very popular person.

They were almost all drawn by the name "Meng Chuan".

Therefore, I was able to see Meng Chuan alive, even though Meng Chuan seemed too young.

No one dared to underestimate Meng Chuan.

They all sat up straight.

Meng Chuan didn't bother with pleasantries and simply threw a stack of documents on the table:

"Look at this first."

Zhan Qi immediately took the documents and distributed them to everyone.

The document contains the work reports of each department for the week.

The top few pages were covered with red circles.

It was like an emperor reviewing memorials.

It is evident that Meng Chuan carefully reviewed the work reports they submitted.

As soon as Manager Wang from the Human Resources Department turned to the second page, his face turned pale.

Among the resumes she rejected last week on the grounds of "mismatched major," there was one from a top medical school in China with a doctorate.

The reason is that this person has published very few papers.

Meng Chuan added a line of text in red pen:

Are you sure your major doesn't match Professor Zhang's junior from the R&D department?

“I know that many of you used to work for large companies.”

Meng Chuan placed his hands on the conference table and said with a serious expression:

"We're used to following procedures and letting KPIs dictate our decisions. But that approach doesn't work at Hongda Pharmaceuticals."

"I hope Manager Wang can base his judgment on facts. Papers cannot be used as the sole criterion for judging a person's ability."

"Don't have the mentality of seeking no merit but avoiding mistakes. At the very least, give others the opportunity to be interviewed."

Meng Chuan's tone was very serious.

Manager Wang hurriedly stood up:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Meng, I'll pay attention to this in the future. I'll contact him later for an interview."

At the first company meeting, Meng Chuan directly called out my name as the manager of the human resources department.

This is not a good sign.

This really affects her image in the eyes of her boss, Meng Chuan!

“I have investigated him. He is the kind of person who is completely dedicated to research. He also has a lot of experience in drug development.”

"It's just that he's introverted and not good at interacting with people. That's why his original employer didn't want him."

"I've already contacted him to take the job. You can handle the onboarding process for him in person later."

Thanks to the Green Gang and Dao's hacking techniques.

It's quite easy for Meng Chuan to get someone's detailed information.

Meng Chuan even knew the detailed information of everyone in the company.

"Okay, Mr. Meng."

Manager Wang felt a chill run down his spine.

She was indeed acting according to the mindset she had at her previous company.

The first hurdle in hiring is looking at the title.

The more papers you publish, or the more awards you receive, the more likely you are to pass her review.

Manager Wang was called upon by Meng Chuan, and everyone immediately became tense.

Meng Chuan's image as a decisive and iron-fisted leader was immediately established.

Meng Chuan then looked at the head of the purchasing department:

"Manager Yang, you said the custom manufacturer requires full payment upfront, so you suggested temporarily halting production. Who gave you that authority?"

Meng Chuan looked at a middle-aged man with a serious expression.

Manager Yang immediately felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

"Mr. Meng, I was just considering that the company is just starting out; I was simply suggesting..."

Manager Yang hurriedly stood up.

Manager Yang is absolutely selfless.

Currently, they are producing 1000 ventilators per day, which is 3 per month.

He genuinely felt there was no need to add more production lines.

Try dangling a finger at that manufacturer; you might get a better price.

"I'm giving orders; I don't need your advice."

Meng Chuan said sternly:

"At Hongda Pharmaceuticals, I hope that each of you will do your job well."

“I know you are all professionals in your respective fields, but I, Meng Chuan, am by no means an incompetent fool.”

"Purchasing department, you just need to purchase according to my requirements."

"The production department just needs to produce according to the requirements."

"None of you need to worry about sales for me."

"Because sales are the responsibility of the sales department, whether or not they can be sold has nothing to do with your two departments."

"From now on, the company will refrain from interfering in matters outside its own department."

The entire scene was completely silent.

They finally understood why Meng Chuan was so angry.

Indeed, many companies, especially large ones, are involved.

The functions of many departments are unclear, and it is not uncommon for them to interfere in matters outside their own departments.

This is a big no-no.

It is also the easiest place to breed corruption and leaks.

At this moment, another middle-aged man raised his hand.

Meng Chuan nodded to him.

He then mustered his courage and said:

"President Meng, actually our sales department is still recruiting, and our sales channels are indeed not yet fully developed. If we start mass production, I'm afraid we'll face serious overstocking!"

If a startup company, which has just been established, immediately reports of sluggish sales, it's a bad idea.

This is very detrimental to the company's development.

Therefore, his idea and encouragement were also behind the proposal to postpone production.

"You can handle the recruitment for the sales department yourself; I won't interfere."

Meng Chuan said:

"It doesn't matter if the sales channels are not perfect; if there are unsold items, just hand them over to the warehousing department."

"The warehousing department needs to expand its storage capacity."

"If I keep producing, I can expand the production line and accommodate more workers."

"As long as the quality of the ventilators we produce is good enough, I believe we will be able to sell them one day."

Meng Chuan said firmly.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Meng Chuan invested and produced without regard to cost.

It turns out it wasn't all about making money.

Rather, it's to accommodate more workers and provide more jobs.

They had long heard that Meng Chuan was a great benefactor.

Now it's materialized.

There may be many bosses in the world who don't consider their own costs and only think about making more contributions to society.

In an instant, everyone looked at Meng Chuan with a newfound respect.

"And let me reiterate."

Meng Chuan took a breath and said:

"Each department should perform its own duties and do its job well. This is the top priority."

"Second, increase R&D investment and accelerate production."

"Whether it's drug development or medical device development, you shouldn't consider costs and funding."

"If you don't have money, just apply to the finance department. As long as it's related to R&D, I'll approve whatever amount you need."

"Third, the research and development of drugs and vaccines should focus on coronaviruses as the prototype, and efforts should be made in this direction."

As he spoke, Meng Chuan looked around the room and asked:

"Does anyone else have anything to say? Please feel free to speak your mind!"
