"Yes, everything is for those lovely and respectable people!" Li Li smiled lightly.
Director Wang laughed heartily, shaking his head as he said, "Boss Li, you might be going a bit too far. I can understand everything being for them, but isn't there any benefit for you in hiring them? Ahahaha?"
Excessive humility can come off as insincere and diminish one's value. Zhuo Rohan suddenly recalled this saying and smiled as he intervened for Li Li, "It can't be that way. Everything has its relativity, so being good to others naturally means being good to oneself."
Director Wang nodded with a smile and asked, "So, have you brought the labor contracts and recruitment plans? If so, I can start arranging things right away."
Zhuo Rohan and Li Li hadn't expected things to progress so quickly; they hadn't even had time to prepare the labor contracts and recruitment plans since they hadn't obtained approval from the company's decision-makers yet.
Li Li smiled faintly and sighed, "We had prepared a document, but it seems that the agreed compensation level is still insufficient. So I'm planning to go back and draft a new labor contract. As for the timing, we'll need to wait until tomorrow."
Having been in office for many years, Director Wang could see through Li Li's thoughts. However, he was still somewhat surprised that he could bring a sample labor contract so soon, considering this was a large-scale recruitment involving over a thousand people. Even Dawn Heavy Industries would find it challenging to digest all of this at once.
"Don't worry about it; I'll be here waiting for you," Director Wang said as he stood up to shake hands with Li Li, smiling.
Li Li replied with a grin, "Then I’ll have to trouble you more, Director Wang."
After their handshake, Director Wang escorted them out of the Hebei Provincial Civil Affairs Department. Watching Li Li drive away, he couldn't help but sigh. The long-standing issue of transitioning volunteer soldiers had finally found a solution, and it was all thanks to a young man who hadn't even reached his twenties.
"Talent emerges in every generation," Director Wang remarked.
Li Li and Zhuo Rohan chose not to return to Beijing. Due to Zhuo Rohan's circumstances, their mode of transportation was limited to a private car, and the round trip from Beijing to Shijiazhuang would take about six hours. It simply wasn't worth the effort to go back.
After finding a relatively upscale hotel and checking into an executive suite, Li Li immediately began an online meeting with the decision-makers in Beijing.
Zhuo Rohan, serving as Li Li's aide, did not participate in this meeting. Thus, the decision-makers unanimously believed that the current solution was solely Li Li's idea.
"This plan is feasible," Chairman Li said with a faint smile, nodding slowly.
The other board members nodded silently, clearly satisfied with this source of labor.
Li Li took a deep breath and said seriously, "This group of people could very well be the ones to completely change the landscape of Dawn. Therefore, I don't want to train them using the established training system; that would not allow us to maximize their advantages!"
Chairman Li raised his hands, intrigued, and asked, "So what do you propose?"
"I want to form a specialized team to manage and train these over a thousand individuals in a semi-closed environment. Additionally, we need to maintain certain military characteristics during the training, meaning that aside from regular work instruction, daily training cannot be neglected."
The board members exchanged glances, all aware of what this approach entailed. After a long pause, one director named Tian stood up and asked, "Do you realize how much funding this will require?"
Li Li smiled lightly and pulled out a notebook, making some simple calculations with a pen.
"We will divide this nearly thirteen hundred strong team into three departments, each further divided into four groups, with each group assigned a set of instructors."
"This means we will need a total of twelve teaching teams, and we will also need to hire twelve sets of relevant training instructors."
"It would be best if this training lasts for a month. I also suggest that during this month, we provide meals, accommodation, and salaries for those undergoing training. Altogether, the estimated cost for all these aspects would be around twenty million."
Upon hearing this, most board members' expressions changed immediately. However, Chairman Li maintained his smile. "You must understand that they won't bring immediate benefits to the company upon starting. Our industry sees profits gradually trickle in over time. Have you considered the funding needed during this period?"
Li Li nodded. "Actually, I've roughly calculated that the cycle for them to bring direct benefits to the company is about three months. During this gap period, our total investment needs will have reached around fifty million."
"Fifty million?!" Mr. Tian exclaimed loudly. "Do you know how much liquidity the entire company has right now? To put fifty million directly into an investment with no visible returns—who can bear that risk?"
Fifty million was like a drop in the bucket for Dawn Heavy Industries; however, at present, Dawn was not in its prime state across various aspects. A lack of staff led to lower efficiency, and naturally, the cash flow was always on the brink of breaking down.
Currently, the entire liquidity of Dawn Heavy Industries was less than five billion. While it seemed like a lot, it had to cover salaries for tens of thousands of employees in the upcoming quarter and invest heavily in future projects. Therefore, every penny had to be spent wisely.
For a large enterprise like Dawn Heavy Industries, valued at hundreds of billions, having less than five billion in liquid assets is truly a sign that the financial chain is on the verge of breaking, or perhaps it is already in a semi-broken state.
Because of this, Dawn Heavy Industries is hesitant to take on even some large orders, fearing that they might not have enough resources to manage them, which could lead to a break in the financial chain and a collapse of the company's stock.
Thus, while fifty million may not seem like much, it is indeed a significant amount for Dawn at this moment. No one dares to take the risk of engaging in something that offers no visible benefits.
"I..." Chairman Li smiled lightly and took a deep breath.
The others turned their attention to the chairman and CEO, who had begun to adopt a hands-off approach with the company. He finally spoke; what did he want to do now?
"I... will inject another hundred million into Dawn Heavy Industries," Chairman Li said with a calm smile.
Shock! Surprise! Disbelief!
Although Chairman Li was wealthy, most of his fortune was tied up in shares of Dawn. Who would have thought he could say such a thing without breaking a sweat?
Where did his money come from? Did it really just fall from the sky?
Chairman Li sighed and looked at the board members, speaking with great authority, "This hundred million I am investing in Dawn must be used for human resources."
The board members exchanged knowing smiles; for someone as formidable as him, his words were akin to an imperial decree within Dawn—there was no room for dissent.
Since going public, Dawn Heavy Industries had increased its stock three times, and currently about twenty-five percent was circulating in the market. The remaining seventy-five percent was controlled by shareholders and the board. However, this did not diminish Chairman Li's power, which resembled that of an emperor.
He held forty-two percent of Dawn Heavy Industries' shares, allowing him to easily outvote all other board members combined!
Because of this, he had complete and absolute control over Dawn Heavy Industries. So who would dare to refute him or ignore his commands?
Li Li watched her father’s carefree style of spending money like dust on the computer screen. She glanced at him gratefully, but the words of thanks that she had been holding back remained unspoken.
With this, Li Li's plan received approval from the decision-makers, and the labor contracts for over a thousand Transitioning Volunteer Soldiers were arranged for the Compensation Manager to oversee. However, after receiving instructions from Li Li, the salaries for this group would certainly be higher than the market rate.
The final Salary Standard was indeed high, as these individuals were being prepared as core combat forces. Therefore, Li Li issued a strict order to increase their wages.
All transitioning volunteers could earn five thousand yuan during the first month of training, and after officially starting work, they would receive a post-tax salary of six thousand yuan per month, which meant a standard salary close to nine thousand yuan! Additionally, the company provided food and accommodation, along with contributions to social insurance and housing funds.
The treatment for transitioning officers was even better since they were being trained as management talents. Their salaries were categorized into different levels: basic management, team management, department management, and branch management during the training phase.
Their compensation ranged from over ten thousand yuan per month to eighty thousand yuan per month; it was truly a significant investment.
Once the labor contracts were finalized, the Compensation Manager faxed the documents to Li Li. The salary terms on these documents were even higher than what Li Li had initially reported to the board members, making them even more enticing.
Zhuo Rohan glanced at several samples of the labor contracts and smiled. "With this in place, I can’t believe no one will be tempted."
Li Li looked at Zhuo Rohan and forced a smile. Perhaps it was because of her influence that her father was so generous, pulling out substantial funds from his own pocket to pave the way for her venture.
"People will definitely come back, but we won’t know the real results until three months later," Li Li said with a wry smile.
Zhuo Rohan placed the documents back on Li Li's desk and shook his head with a smile. "You’re mistaken again. What you’re doing isn’t a risky investment at all; on the contrary, it’s a no-risk investment! And three months to see results? You’re underestimating the people you’ve hired. They understand one simple truth."
"Whoever treats them well, they will treat well in return."
