Boss O, he's bankrupt again

Chapter 58

Chen Xun didn't pay attention to his tone, his face was serious, and he spoke in a hurry: "The matter is very urgent, but I haven't been able to contact you today. You told me to review the contract before, and indeed found a problem. We need to solve it as soon as possible."

It turned out that Chen Xun's call to his personal driver today was not because of this public relations incident.

Yan Zhuo subconsciously sat up straight, frowned and said, "Didn't you just report last week and say that there is no problem?"

"The contracts on file at the headquarters have been repeatedly checked by the legal department, and there are indeed no flaws. But today I just received the electronic contracts sent by the branch. So far, only ten copies have been randomly checked, and three of them have legal loopholes."

Yanzhuo asked Chen Xun to re-examine the signed contract in order to avoid the incident of illegitimate children. Seeing that the "marriage" is hopeless, Changyue Group will turn their faces and deny people, so Chen Xun is asked to confirm whether there are loopholes in the previous contract It may be used by Changyue Group to deal with them.

Chen Xun, together with several trusted subordinates, confirmed that the contracts on file at the headquarters had been checked repeatedly by the legal department, and there were no mistakes. The branch contracts that he had handled, that's why Chen Xun asked each branch for a scanned copy of the contract.

Originally, it was just doing it casually to make sure nothing would go wrong, but unexpectedly, the problem was actually found out by accident.

Only ten copies were randomly checked, and three of them had problems. It is hard not to be frightened by such a probability. No wonder Chen Xun was so impatient today, and came to bother him in a hurry when he knew he was sick and needed to rest. he.

The expressions on the faces of the two were exactly the same solemn, especially after Chen Xun pointed out the problems carefully, Yan Zhuo's face was so dark that ink dripped out.

"It's all related to Changyue Group?"

"At least all three of these."

"The other party supplies us, why do we have to pay them huge compensation instead?"

"It is stated in the contract that Party A can choose to reject the goods due to quality reasons, but Party A must bear the compensation for the economic losses suffered by Party B as a result of this."

In other words, if Changyue Group supplies unqualified goods, Yanshi Group’s branches can choose to reject them, but Changyue Group will suffer losses because the goods cannot be taken over by Yanshi Group. to compensate them.

This in itself is an extremely unreasonable contract clause, no matter where it is placed, there is no reason for such an overlord clause to exist.What's more, the branch company has great management autonomy. In this process, without the supervision of the headquarters, there is too much room for manipulation——

The better situation is that Changyue Group did provide unqualified sources of goods, and the branch company refused to accept them. Changyue Group demanded economic compensation based on the terms of the contract, which would be a big loss for the group every year.

The worst case is that in order not to pay the compensation, the self-financed branch led the company into debt, turned a blind eye to the source of goods, and allowed the inferior products to flow into the market under the brand name of Yanshi Group, and consumers would find out in time , It will definitely have an extremely bad impact on the brand image and the company's reputation. The losses caused by this situation are simply immeasurable, much more serious than the direct loss of money.

But this is not the worst case.

After listening to Chen Xun's explanation, Yan Zhuo's first reaction was that this clause was too convenient for the management of the branch company to collude with the people of Changyue Group and jointly make empty accounts and fake accounts.

Changyue Group doesn't even need to provide any goods, as long as the management of the branch has returned it with a word, a paper of approval, and an official seal, a batch of "substandard products" that do not exist at all can appear on the account books of the branch out of thin air. And the branch still needs to pay for these non-existent goods and provide economic compensation to Changyue Group.At that time, as soon as the two parties meet, a spoils deal will be completed without anyone noticing.

The turnover of personnel in the branch is not strong, and the heads of some branches have not even moved from their nests for more than ten years.And Yan's Group's treatment is notoriously good. Even if it's just a branch company, the employees under these people are very stable. As long as the two sides don't make things big because of the uneven distribution of spoils, the headquarters will have no way of knowing.

In addition, the management of the branch company is mixed. When Yan Zhuo just returned to China to take over the company, he transferred many high-level executives from the headquarters, and because Yan Mingrui tried his best to prevent them from being fired directly, they had to be dismissed separately. Went to branches all over the place.

After thinking about it, Yan Zhuo almost didn't dare to think about it any more.

Changyue Group and Yanshi Group have already reached an in-depth cooperation. They have signed various contracts with the headquarters and branches, but such clauses have never appeared in the contracts handled by the headquarters, which shows that this contract is full of loopholes. They are tailor-made for the branch.

But how can the people of Changyue Group be sure that the group headquarters will never interfere with the branch's affairs and will not check these contracts?

Also, are the legal departments of branch companies all over the country eating dry food?

So many people have handled the contract, is it true that everyone is careless, and no one has ever noticed something wrong with the contract?

Thinking of this, Yan Zhuo seemed to grasp something suddenly: "Where are the branches that signed these three contracts?"

Chen Xun's answer made him slowly close his eyes.

Sure enough, they are all on the list of those branches that cannot achieve break-even for a long time and need regular funding from the headquarters to continue.

The rule that local branches are responsible for their own profits and losses was established by Yan Mingrui when he was still managing the company. Only the headquarters will provide human, material and financial support in the early days of establishment, and this support will usually be withdrawn within two to three years.

In order to encourage the independent operation of the branches, the group adopts a sharing system. Every year, only a certain percentage of the profits of the branches will be charged to the headquarter's finances, and the rest will be used as bonuses for local employees or for the development of the branches. funds.It can be said that as long as the performance is good enough, the more you earn, the more you will get, and there is no upper limit on the income.But once the management is not good and it is in a state of loss for a long time, the headquarters will not always allocate funds to support it, but will only consider changing the person in charge, or directly closing these companies.

This is the rule set by Yan Mingrui, but it was also broken by Yan Mingrui.

Because most of his former confidants were sent to these branches, when Yan Zhuo wanted to close the poorly managed branch for the first time, Yan Mingrui personally stopped him, telling him not to hurt the hearts of the company veterans .

Yan Zhuo thought of closing the branch for the second time. Yan Mingrui said that this was caused by the local business environment, but they cannot completely withdraw from the local market because of a temporary loss, so appropriate losses are used to maintain the group's presence in the local market influence is necessary.

For the third time, Yan Mingrui said again...

In short, since Yan Zhuo took over the company, this rule has been quietly changed, and Yan Zhuo failed to close any of the branches.

If the branch is not well managed, if they sell to the headquarters and cry poorly, the headquarters will spend a lot of money to support them to continue their operations. It seems to have become the consensus of the heads of branches in various places.

Yan Zhuo said in a deep voice: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. As for you, go through all the contracts of all branches next. If the department is short of manpower, you can invite an independent professional team to come, and remember to sign the confidentiality agreement. "

This is a big project, but Chen Xun was not surprised at all, and agreed immediately.Even contracts that have been repeatedly confirmed and checked in black and white can have such big omissions, and those things that are usually invisible and not clearly recorded will only be more excessive and more terrifying.

On Monday night, Yan’s Group formally responded to the rumors of the chairman’s illegitimate son—all previous media reports were rumors, and chairman Yan Mingrui just showed kindness by subsidizing a young orphan and taking him home to take care of him occasionally .

Compared with the gossip that made a lot of noise before, this response is really not painful, it seems funny and ridiculous.

"What, isn't this treating us as fools? It's even more contemptuous if you dare to do something but don't admit it. It's better to admit that you are an illegitimate child."

"As far as I know, Yan's Group has funded many children with student grants and scholarships alone. Why did they only take this one home?"

"This doesn't seem to be the level of public relations of Yan's Group. The public relations team has changed? No matter what the response was before, it was justified. This time, it is said that it is funding, and you can't even show the relevant proof?"

"More than that, this response doesn't even have an official seal, that is to say, I don't even bother to fool around."

"I think the subtext of this response is that an illegitimate child is indeed an illegitimate child, and cheating within marriage is indeed cheating within marriage, but the chairman will not let us admit it, so we just want to deny it, and everyone agrees. Just pretend to believe it!"

"Eh? I'm the only one who thinks that once this statement comes out, whether the legendary illegitimate child is born to the chairman of the Yan Group or not, he will only be a subsidized orphan in the future? Even if he becomes an adopted child in the future, he will be recognized as an orphan." The family property that the illegitimate child can get is completely incomparable, right?"

"+1, I also think that this statement should not be the wish of Chairman Yan, but the wish of his son. It directly made an illegitimate son who could fight for the family property into a subsidized orphan. The company responded. In the future, Yan Mingrui If you prefer the younger son, you have to consider the impact on the company."

The discussions outside did not have any impact on the Yan Group.

After all, products and services are the most important thing in business, and this kind of private scandal will only be treated as a joke by the public.After a while, when new hot issues appear, everyone's attention will be easily diverted, and no one will discuss this matter at that time.

But for Yan Mingrui, the impact of this incident was too great.

On the one hand, Shen Changyue's aggressive questioning, on the other hand, Shen Zhenyu's grievance and crying, and on the other hand, relatives and confidantes came to inquire about his attitude towards this young son, which made him burnt out and annoyed.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to call Yan Zhuo back to reprimand him, Yan Zhuo came to the door by himself.
