Chapter 485 - 485 Overtime
485 Overtime
That person was still standing beside the elevator. He knew these CEOs. After all, they were regulars, so he pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton without thinking and spoke respectfully.
“h.e.l.lo, CEOs. The chairman is on the sixth floor and is in a meeting with Manager Lin. Do you need me to inform him on your behalf?”
As soon as the chairman arrived, these CEOs picked a time to come together. With just a little thought, this person would know what was going on, so he said this directly.
The CEOs raised their eyebrows when they heard this. They pointed at the young man and smiled.
“You’re really sensible. You’re different from those dull people. Not bad, not bad.”
Hearing this, the young man smiled shyly. Then, he turned around and whispered into the walkie-talkie on his shoulder.
“Sixth floor, sixth floor. The CEOs are here to visit the chairman. Do you have time now?”
Since the CEOs said so, he definitely had to ask, so the young man asked without hesitation.
After a while, Secretary Liu’s voice sounded.
“Wait a moment, I’ll ask.”
With that, Secretary Liu took a deep breath and went to the general manager’s office. She gently knocked on the door and pushed it open. Then, she spoke carefully.
“Chairman, some CEOs want to visit you. Do you have time now?”
Seeing this, Lin Guangguo hurriedly gave Secretary Liu a look, as if he was sending her a message.
[Didn’t you see that we’re in a meeting now? How could he have time to meet them? Can’t you come in and ask after we’re done? Why are you so insensible?]
However, Secretary Liu did not seem to understand this gaze. She tilted her head in confusion.
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan didn’t mind. Since someone wanted to visit, it wasn’t a bad thing to let them come.
Hence, he nodded at Secretary Liu and spoke.
“Yes, let them come over.”
“Alright! I’ll inform them immediately.”
Secretary Liu bowed respectfully and carefully left the general manager’s office, closing the door behind her.
A few minutes later, there was another knock on the door. Then, a few middle-aged men in suits walked in.
“Aiya, CEO Huang, CEO Ma, CEO Cui, CEO Zhao, CEO Li, come and sit. That Xiao Liu, is the tea ready?”
“This is the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation, Chairman Ye Xuan.”
When the CEOs heard this, they looked at the child in front of them who had his legs crossed and one hand behind the sofa. They looked at one another in surprise.
They would never have thought that the chairman of a leading Chinese company was actually a seven or eight-year-old child. Was this reasonable?
Could he be a dwarf? Or was there something wrong?
The CEOs were all very puzzled, but they still cupped their hands and spoke respectfully.
“h.e.l.lo, Chairman Ye!”
Ye Xuan nodded and waved his hand casually.
“Be casual. Have a cup of tea and rest.”
With that said, he turned to look at Lin Guangguo.
“Yes, this project can be implemented as soon as possible. Try to operate it for a period of time. If it doesn’t work, send me a detailed set of data. I’ll a.n.a.lyze it. If it really doesn’t work, stop the losses in time. If possible, insist on taking a look.”
“In addition, regarding the problem of employees working overtime, I don’t think I need to say more about this problem. According to the laws of the country, eight hours is considered overtime. Let the employees choose voluntarily. If you discover any compet.i.tion, stop them immediately.”
“If an internal employee is causing compet.i.tion and you find out, simply fire them. There’s no room for negotiation, no matter what profession he is.”
After Ye Xuan finished speaking seriously, he picked up his teacup and took two sips of hot tea.
The faces of the CEOs who came to visit twitched when they heard this. The way Ye Xuan drank tea and the aura he exuded also made the CEOs understand that although he was such a young child, he was still real and capable.
Therefore, they reorganized their att.i.tudes and no longer treated Ye Xuan as a child. As for why the chairman of Dinglong Group was so young, they would only see it after living for a long time.
“Alright, we’ll do as Chairman Ye says.”
Lin Guangguo nodded solemnly. After this conversation, his admiration for Ye Xuan had reached an extremely high level. As the saying went, listening to a gentleman’s words was better than studying for ten years. This was how Lin Guangguo felt now.
At this moment, the CEOs who came to visit suddenly spoke.
“Chairman Ye, there’s something I don’t understand. I want to consult Chairman Ye about managing employees. I also allow employees to work overtime if they’re willing. I thought that everyone liked working overtime, but it’s rare for a few of them to work overtime. The others don’t care about that bit of overtime. What should I do? Chairman Ye, please help me guide me. I’m extremely grateful!”
CEO Huang’s words seemed to resonate with the other CEOs. Everyone looked at Ye Xuan eagerly, looking forward to getting an answer. After all, the employees of the Dinglong Corporation were overtime maniacs. Everyone in the industry knew about them. They had even launched a “cleansing operation” to chase away the people who worked overtime. In the end, they could not chase them away and worked all night.
Therefore, everyone wanted to know how Ye Xuan made his employees work overtime willingly.
When Ye Xuan heard this, he smiled and pointed at CEO Huang.
“That’s a good question. This question is actually very simple. There are only two types of employees, young and old. The older ones usually work in management and other higher-level professions. It’s impossible for them to work overtime.”
“As for the young employees, you need to understand a very important detail when talking about this — pressure.”
“To put it simply, they need to play. They need time to completely let themselves go. If they have a day off every week, why do you think they should reduce their game time by two hours every day to earn overtime pay that is worth dozens of yuan?”
“Young people nowadays don’t lack money. Dozens of yuan don’t provide any driving force at all. Therefore, we can change our train of thought.”
“In the past, people needed money. If they worked overtime, they would receive money. Then what do young people nowadays lack? If they lack time, what should we do? Hehe, do you understand now?”
When Ye Xuan said this, he smiled and took another sip of tea, leaving time for everyone to think.
In the end, CEO Zhao was the first to react. He slapped his thigh and spoke.
“I understand. What Chairman Ye means is to change overtime to a time exchange. The number of hours of overtime they work every day can be counted into their vacation. Then, in that case, yes, in that case, they will all want to work overtime. Hahaha, I understand. Chairman Ye is mighty, Chairman Ye is mighty!”
Ye Xuan pursed his lips and didn’t say anything else.
