Volume 7 Chapter 27 - Reorganizing Company (1/2)

After each department’s manager gave their report and after Kennard gave the general report, everyone turned back to look at Xu Yi.

Although it had been several years since Xu Yi managed the company, only managing the company’s general direction of development, in the minds of the people, he was still the irreplaceable chairman of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. At each year end meeting, only after he gave the year end summary could the meeting end.

At the end of the meeting, when Xu Yi gave last year’s summary, he would also give directions for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s development in the new year. It was considered setting some goals that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had to complete.

Therefore, for the high level members of the company, Xu Yi’s year end summary was always the most important thing.

However this time, when Xu Yi spoke, he didn’t summarize the company’s business like before. He looked at Kennard and after exchanging looks, he looked at everyone and slowly said, “The company’s current development has reached the standard that I expected and it even surpasses it, so I feel that it’s time for restructuring.”

When the word “restructuring” was said, the meeting room fell silent.

After a while, everyone finally reacted and looked at each other as they couldn’t help whispering to each other.

Xu Yi patiently waited for a bit before tapping the table and bringing back everyone’s attention.

“I’ve already proposed this two years ago, so I don’t think there’s a need to be this surprised.” Xu Yi said with a smile, “As for our company’s restructuring, it is something that has to happen, so it isn’t strange.”

“But……” Although Ankhto wasn’t even forty yet, he could be considered a veteran among the high level members, so he spoke first, “Sir chairman, I think that the company is developing very well right now and is operating smoothly, there’s no need for a restructuring, right? What if……What if the restructuring doesn’t go well and harms us instead?”

With Ankhto taking the lead, the others all followed along.

“Right, sir chairman, everyone is working well together, why do we need to separate them with restructuring?”

“That’s right, if we’re all gathered together, it’s easier to work with each other. After the restructuring, everyone will be taking care of their own matters, so if there’s anything that takes a lot of processing from many people, it will be very troublesome.”

“Hei, Nasus, you say that like it wasn’t troublesome to cooperate between departments before?”

“That was because of sir chairman’s high standards, you can’t blame that on our department, right?”

“Che……”

……

“Alright.” Xu Yi tapped on the table again and cut everyone’s arguments off, “I’ve already announced the restructuring two years ago and gave you two years to adapt. Based on the current situation, it seems like you’ve adapted quite well.”

Xu Yi looked at the two who were arguing and their faces turned red as they gave dry laughs.

“The reason we must restructure is because the company is becoming bigger and bigger. If we maintain the current organization structure, it will seriously impact our company’s development. Not mentioning anything else, to let Kennard manage the matters of each department will make him die of exhaustion sooner or later.”

Kennard on the side revealed a grin, “Dying of exhaustion for the company is a good way to die, I don’t mind.”

Xu Yi could only roll his eyes at him, “You don’t have a problem, but if Count Emma and Sophia knew that I caused you to die from exhaustion, they would definitely come here to kill me.”

Xu Yi turned to look at the others after he said this and continued, “I know what you are worried about, you don’t have the confidence in taking care of your own departments, right?”

The managers all revealed embarrassed smiles when Xu Yi looked at them.

It was indeed as Xu Yi had said.

As managers of departments, to let them be responsible for various things in the department was something that they were familiar with. However, sir chairman’s restructuring was to separate those departments from the company and create a branch under the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, which was equal to creating a whole new company that they would manage themselves, so they weren’t confident.

But other than these few people, the other managers had glowing eyes that were filled with excitement and eagerness.

Although managing a company by themselves was a big challenge for them, it was also a very big opportunity.
