Chapter 564 The Golden Mean

This time to deal with the YouTube matter, the reason why Wang Haoyang was not brought along was because Zhou Buqi wanted to change people.

Another purpose of coming to the United States this time is to find a suitable chief financial officer.

I searched around the country, but none of them are suitable.

We can only see what outstanding talents are available overseas.

For Internet companies, they basically have to go public on NASDAQ. This requires the chief financial officer to have overseas experience and have rich experience in dealing with foreigners.

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Don't be in a hurry, there is a question I don't quite understand. Why do you have to replace Wang Haoyang?"

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi was a little puzzled.

This is not obvious!

Liu Qing said: "Finance is generally divided into three levels. The elementary level is the basic skills of finance. It is necessary to have a full understanding of the company's financial situation and balance of payments, be able to communicate with the CEO freely, and assist the company's operations so that it does not lose money. inside."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, Lao Wang can do this."

"It's not that it can be done, but it's done well, right?"

"you know?"

"Why don't I know? I'm also the vice president of Ziwei Star!"

"But you are in charge of the American business."

Liu Qing said angrily: "It was He Yang who told me, okay?"

Zhou Buqi was a little strange, "Will He Yang say good things about him?"

Then, I couldn't help but think a little more.

At the beginning, Ziweixing was two giants, He Yang and Wang Haoyang, and there was a tendency to fight for power. Now, Xu Liangjie was airborne, with great power, and he overwhelmed He Yang. This caused the "Shuangyang" to turn hostility into friendship and unanimously external?

Hey, workplace politics is the most irritating thing, and I have to handle it carefully.

Liu Qing knows how to measure. She and Boss Zhou are friends, but she is also a subordinate. This kind of thing is also very taboo, and she can't participate blindly. Instead, she said: "In finance, intermediate is the quality of risk control. When we are fearful, we are greedy when others are fearful. A qualified CFO understands the first half of the sentence, and an excellent CFO understands the second half. "Opportunity cost" tests the ability of a CFO. Whether to do something depends not only on the benefits, but also on the failure Potential loss from doing something else."

Zhou Buqi agreed deeply, "Yes! That's it! You are right, Lao Wang's basic skills are very solid, and my use of the company's cash flow is chaotic, and he can operate very well. The problem is that he is too conservative, yes Many of the forward-looking and significant strategic projects I put forward are full of doubts, chattering and moaning, and they are simply disturbing the morale of the army."

Liu Qing rolled her eyes.

"Am I wrong?"

"Let's not talk about Wang Haoyang. If you were in any finance department, you would be terrified of your boss Zhou's strategy, right? The middle level I'm talking about is risk control. But what about you? Who can control what you decide?"

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "Because in terms of business, what I decide to do is all correct! This is really not bragging. Look at these projects that Ziweixing is doing now, which one has failed? Even if there are some individual ones that have not It’s getting better, but as long as you keep doing it, it will surely blossom and bear fruit in the future. If it’s replaced by other big companies and can make three or five, it will be great.”

Liu Qing said: "However, if a CFO can't deny your new project from the perspective of the company's stability and financial health, does he still need this level of ability?"

"Well……"

"Even if you replace Wang Haoyang with a better CFO, the newcomer still can't help you with risk management and control, and can only follow your will to coordinate finances and do some basic skills. What's the difference between this and Wang Haoyang?"

"Makes sense."

Zhou Buqi followed suit and nodded.

Liu Qing said: "The most important point is that the most senior CFO must have the ability to allocate resources, not only referring to money, but also human, material and influential resources. Wang Haoyang is the founding elder of Ziwei Star, what a high status he is. , in that position, he can efficiently coordinate the resources of various departments with a single order. He is a veteran, and everyone is convinced. If a newcomer comes, he will be even more capable, but with this influence and Prestige?"

Zhou Buqi narrowed his eyes, "So, you think he should be kept?"

Liu Qing shook her head, "You are the boss, and you can only make the decision. My dad said that to run a business is to respect the opinions of the majority, discuss with the few, and then the boss makes his own decision."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "Don't make circles with me! As you said, Wang Haoyang has such great prestige, and he checks and fills in the gaps for me to deal with such complicated financial problems. Everyone knows his difficulties, so can you not turn to him? ? Respecting the opinions of the majority is tantamount to staying in office.”

Liu Qing sighed, "You also know that his job is difficult?"

"I'm not stupid."

"Then don't change."

"Is this your attitude? Or did He Yang ask you to help persuade me?"

Liu Qing was a little embarrassed, "Is it important?"

Zhou Buqi stopped talking, bowed his head to eat, and Ning Yaxian next to him virtuously and gracefully served him a bowl of soup.

In fact, he also felt it during this time.

He Yang was not very dedicated to recruiting a new CFO. In fact, I was very careful at the beginning and provided several alternatives. But when Xu Liangjie came to power, he didn't want to find someone anymore, saying that there was no suitable candidate. Only then did Zhou Buqi set his sights overseas. Unexpectedly, He Yang had already connected with Liu Qing.

Liu Qing said softly: "I'm in the United States, so I don't know much about the company. But I do know one thing. When walking, one foot must be firmly established before the other foot can be lifted. The other foot is stable. Only when the ground is on the ground can the foot be lifted. Now Ziwei Star, the middle and lower levels are constantly changing, new people join every day, and new projects are often launched. This requires the top management to maintain stability and play a role. The role of stabilizing the morale of the army. If it is constantly changing from top to bottom, the management risk is too great."

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and smiled: "If it's running, you can still hang both legs in the air."

Liu Qing glanced at her, disliked this extremely beautiful woman, thought she was a vixen trying to seduce Boss Zhou, and said coldly: "You can only run when you grow up, and children can't even walk steadily." Too young. Moreover, the financial risk is still large enough, and if the management risk is increased, problems may arise.”

Ning Yaxian's expression was a little stiff, her eyes were downcast, and she stopped talking.

Zhou Buqi stretched out his hand, patted her thigh under the table, and said with a smile, "Okay, I know about it. The most fundamental reason why I want to replace Lao Wang is that Ziwei Xing Financing. Lao Wang’s English level is similar to mine, and he has no experience of studying in the United States, so he may not be able to handle this matter well.”

Liu Qing rolled her eyes and pointed to her chest.

"Well, it's pretty big."

"Zhoubuqi!"

Liu Qing's face turned red with anger, it was just the two of them, but there were outsiders present, which made her very embarrassed. She has a fiancé, and she got married at the end of the year.

Zhou Buqi felt that he had avenged Secretary Ning, so he laughed, "Just kidding, what do you mean? You are going to be in charge of Ziweixing's investment project?"

"Who else could it be but me? Don't forget what my last job was!" Liu Qing snorted, puffing out her chest proudly, but after glancing at Secretary Ning, she felt that she couldn't compare, so she walked back in discouragement. As soon as he leaned on it, his arrogance was extinguished a lot.

Ms. Liu is in charge of Ziwei Star's financing case, which is really suitable.

Whether it is connections or ability, it is enough.

In her previous life, she operated Didi’s financing, which was a miracle. There were four financings, with a total amount of more than 8.2 billion U.S. dollars, especially the last financing of 4.5 billion U.S. dollars, which far exceeded the actual value of Didi.

"But, are you busy?"

"You mean Twitter?"

"Um."

"I was originally the vice president of Ziwei Star, and I was sent to Twitter to help, but they couldn't say anything. When we raise funds for Ziwei Star, we can attach some agreements. Organizations that participate in Ziwei Star's financing can get Twitter financing. Priority. Use twitter to help us raise the price."

Zhou Buqi gave a thumbs up, "You still know how to play!"

Liu Qing smiled and said: "Twitter is also very hot now. There are many investment institutions who want to participate, but I have rejected them all. I will be exhausted first. I am not good at participating in Twitter business, but financial matters, I say It counts."

"That's it, you are in charge."

"Where's Wang Haoyang?"

"Listen to you."

Zhou Buqi didn't play hard, and chose the golden mean.

It's okay to deal with Wang Haoyang, but now He Yang has jumped out to protect him. If he insists on going his own way, he will have to deal with two senior executives. Now Xu Liangjie is very powerful, and the newly established search business group is also in his charge. His power is unprecedented, and he seems to be the second person in Ziweixing.

Always consider the ideas of the elders and play a balanced game.

On this point, Zhou Buqi is familiar with "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", and recently read Mao Xuan and Deng Xuan, and feels that he can grasp the scale.

Go to the hotel at night.

Booked two rooms.

At the beginning of booking a room, Liu Qing was in a difficult situation. She got married at the end of the year, but Boss Zhou was still so out of tune, but thinking of his strong courage and inexhaustible strength, she swallowed the words of refusal.

I only warned myself in my heart: "This is the last time! Well! The last time!"

Then, when she got to the hotel, she was a little dumbfounded.

Zhou Buqi didn't shy away from it at all, he put his arms around Secretary Ning's waist and went back to the room together.

Dare to book these two rooms, this is the arrangement!

She thought it was Boss Zhou who slept with her and asked Secretary Ning to sleep in the same room.

"Who is it! A vixen!"

Seeing Ning Yaxian swaying her lotus steps and twisting her waist, Liu Qing's face turned black with anger.

After returning to the room, Ning Yaxian asked cautiously: "Boss, that Miss Liu... why do you think my eyes are not right?"

"Yeah?"

"She might be jealous of me."

"What are you jealous of?"

Ning Yaxian glanced at her beautiful eyes, and said charmingly: "I am the roommate of the big boss, she... she is at most a dewy affair."

Zhou Buqi was in a cold sweat, "Don't talk nonsense, she and I are innocent, we have nothing."
