Chapter 171 Establishment of Internal Anti-corruption Measures

"Robert? What is he doing in Hong Kong?" Yang Wendong asked.

This American guy who first contacted him did, to a certain extent, help him in the early stages of his business. Plus, he was a nice person, so their relationship was pretty good.

However, with the large-scale overseas expansion of Post-it Notes, the two parties have not had any contact for a long time. Even when there are business needs, it is other people in the 3M department who contact the contact person at Changxing Industrial.

Wei Zetao replied: "He said he knew that our second phase factory was about to be completed, and he came to celebrate as a distributor."

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "That makes sense."

As far as Yang Wendong knew, because Robert was the first person within 3M to discover the Post-it Note and successfully introduced it, he was promoted several levels within the company and was already considered a mid-to-senior level position at 3M.

This is normal. The agency of Post-it Notes has brought huge profits to 3M. If someone in its own company does something similar, there will definitely be a huge promotion and salary increase.

Now that Changxing Industry and 3M are partners with common interests, it makes sense for Robert to come over.

Wei Zetao said: "Yes, but I think he might have other things to do."

"Okay, forget about him." Yang Wendong paused and said, "Then let's wait for him to come over. Anyway, it's unlikely to be a bad thing."

"Okay." Wei Zetao nodded, and then said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Okay, you go back to the factory first, otherwise there will be a traffic jam at the ferry and you will have to wait for a long time again." Yang Wendong nodded and said.

Su Yiyi also said: "Yes, it's very congested over there. It will be troublesome for us to run back and forth in the future."

Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "There is no solution for now."

Victoria Harbour has now become a major problem for Hong Kong's economic development. Transportation for people on both sides is too troublesome, and our side has also been affected.

Historically, some ZZ people would have proposed a plan to build a connection the next year, but it took two or three years of debate over whether to build a bridge or a tunnel, and finally the tunnel was decided.

But then the economic crisis hit in 65 and the Hong Kong government ran into a fiscal deficit. Construction of the tunnel didn’t start until 69, when the economy had improved, and it wasn’t opened to traffic until 72.

Wei Zetao said: "There is actually another way. The Star Ferry actually has special customer services. As long as you make an appointment in advance, they will have a special ship to transport people or cars, but the price is more expensive.

If Mr. Yang feels that waiting for the bus frequently is a waste of time, he can consider it. "

"Okay, let me think about it." Yang Wendong nodded.

His time is actually a kind of money. If he spends it frequently in traffic jams, it is really not cost-effective.
In the past lives, many wealthy European and American people took helicopters to work and traveled in private jets. It was not simply for enjoyment, but because their time was not worth wasting on these things. Even CEOs and senior executives of many large companies received such treatment.

After a while, after Wei Zetao left, Yang Wendong said to Su Yiyi: "Yiyi, there is one thing I need you to do alone."

"Me? What's the matter?" Su Yiyi was a little curious.

Yang Wendong said: "In addition to having absolute control over personnel and finances, another very important thing when establishing a headquarters is anti-corruption."

"Anti-corruption?" Su Yiyi asked, "Anti-corruption? The problem of embezzlement?"

"Yes, it seems that the results of the past two years of study are quite good." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

Su Yiyi smiled and said, "It's because you forced us, Brother Dong, that we can hold on until now."

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Only by forcing you to learn can you grow. You still have to continue learning in the future."

The three veterans who had started the business with him, including Su Yiyi, have always been forced to study by Yang Wendong.

From the very beginning of learning to recognize words, write characters, phrases, idioms, professional terms and later simple English, we specially invited several teachers to teach.

No matter what they do in the future, knowledge is the most important thing. Even if Zhao Liming or Lin Haoyu no longer follows Yang Wendong and starts their own business or becomes a landlord, they still need to have knowledge.

"Yeah." Su Yiyi nodded, then asked, "Brother Dong, are you worried about Changxing Industry?"

Yang Wendong said: "Yes, the company that currently has this problem is Changxing Industrial, but other companies may also have this problem in the future, but the scale of the companies is small now.

It is human nature to love money, and everyone is the same, but this problem has a huge impact on our company, so we have to suppress it while the company is still small."

Yang Wendong has no control over the current situation of the Hong Kong government, but his company should try to avoid this problem as early as possible. Changxing Industry has a large number of orders, which can be said to be the god of wealth for many companies in Kowloon Peninsula. These companies will be subject to the procurement, quality, technology, etc. of Changxing Industry.

As long as there is an opportunity, coupled with the current environment in Hong Kong, these things will inevitably happen.

Su Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed the case. Liming is responsible for the production of mouse traps. The core components are all imported, but the packaging materials of the mouse traps are all produced locally.

He told me that a supplier wanted to give him a bonus, but he didn't take it because it wasn't much, so he didn't tell you. He only mentioned it to me once by chance."

"Yes, this is actually very normal." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "The mouse traps that Liming is responsible for are not highly dependent on external parties, and the sticky notes are similar;
Adhesive hooks, rotating mops, and future trolley suitcases are all made outside. The profits are too great. Do you think those buyers can resist being offered money?"

"I don't think so." Su Yiyi paused and said, "Although Changxing Industrial's salary is generally higher than that of ordinary factories, ordinary purchases only make two or three hundred a month, while the business we handle can easily be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands."

"Yes, it's human nature." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "But since you are in this line of work, you have to abide by the rules;
If I just received a small gift from a supplier, or was invited to dinner, or received a small red envelope, I might turn a blind eye.

But we will not tolerate excessive greed, and even soliciting bribes and deliberately making things difficult for suppliers. "

As long as some things are not outrageous, Yang Wendong understands that this society has its basic rules, so he doesn't care too much.

But if someone crosses the line, or even sacrifices the company's rights and interests to make money for himself, this must be cracked down on.

Su Yiyi said: "People like this do need to be arrested, but can I do such a thing? I don't know much about the law, do I?"

Even after two years of study, Su Yiyi could read newspapers and write a little, but legal regulations were too difficult.

Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about the legal affairs, or even how to catch these people. I just need someone I trust to take care of this matter."

"Oh." Su Yiyi also understood and asked, "Then what should I do first?"

Yang Wendong said: "First, build a team. Find people who have worked in detective agencies or retired police officers. These people are here to investigate things. Let them specifically keep an eye on suspicious people in the company."

"Okay, then I also need to contact the headhunting company." Su Yiyi said after thinking for a while.

"Yes." Yang Wendong also said: "I know a detective named Wu, and we have some business cooperation. When I have time, I will invite him to dinner and ask him to introduce such a person. He will definitely know."

Everyone knows the situation of the police in Hong Kong today without us having to say anything, but that doesn’t mean they are all useless. Some police officers always have some basic abilities.

He doesn't need many, just a few will be enough.

Su Yiyi said: "Okay, then if we find the target and the evidence, what should we do? Call the police and arrest them?"

"No, there's no point in arresting them one by one, and it won't have any shocking effect." Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "First, keep investigating secretly, and when we find enough people, we can arrest them all at once;
Or I need to pick a time to blow this up and warn everyone else.”

Su Yiyi asked: "Brother Dong's main purpose is to warn others?"

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Yes, there are so many people in Changxing Industry, and we can't check them all. There will be more people in the future.

Even if you want to confirm that one person has a problem, it may be difficult to find evidence, so catching a small group of people to warn others is the most important thing. "

"That's right." Su Yiyi nodded.

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "In fact, the current law is the same. Punishing people who have committed crimes is to warn everyone in society."

"That makes sense." Su Yiyi thought about it and realized that it was true.

Yang Wendong continued, "So this matter is urgent, but it is not urgent either. The most important thing is to make the anti-corruption issue deeply rooted in people's hearts and let all employees know about it."

"Okay, Brother Dong, I understand." Su Yiyi said obediently, "It's just that I'm worried that my ability is limited and I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. How do you think I managed so many companies? Didn't I do it step by step?
This will also be an important means for the group headquarters to control its branches in the future. I will also be involved. When you have something to discuss, you can come to me for advice. "

Anti-corruption is a need as well as a means. Like the ancient emperors, he often does not care about corruption among his subordinates.

Even if you are a little greedy, he can use this as a pretext to deal with you and can deal with you at any time. On the contrary, a truly honest official or a troublemaker is a headache for an emperor.

Of course, everything has its limits. If the corruption is too severe, too obvious, or even causes public outrage, then you are asking for trouble.
