CHAPTER 1478: CHAPTER 1293: THE PLOT IS HUGE_3

Although those people have serious issues, they have prestige, and a group of followers who obey them unquestionably.

With them leading, they can better accomplish the performance tasks assigned by the group.

Xiahou Qi knew well that even though Shen Peishen had fallen, the Greater China Region was not entirely clear. Some Senior Affairs Officers and small regional leaders are like smaller versions of Shen Peishen. While they can’t be called cancerous, they do create limitations for the Greater China Region.

Limits on how high the Greater China Region can ascend in the future and how far it can stand.

Xiahou Qi thought about this and finally spoke to Bai Xiaosheng, "Sheng, I’m not an old stick-in-the-mud either. I can accept and appreciate those new things, but..."

Xiahou Qi slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Sheng, these things aren’t so easy to implement; they might be even more difficult than you imagine!"

"Don’t underestimate certain people present today, the old folks! None of them, not even two or three together, are nearly as stubborn as Shen Peishen. But if they all band together, they are definitely more obstinate than Shen Peishen."

"The intention behind your reform is good; the ideas are good, but they necessarily shake up their power and interests. They have savored the marrow, buried in those gray areas—those ’unspoken rules’ we’ve all tacitly allowed over the years, and they certainly won’t let go! Those are far more frightening than visible enemies!"

Xiahou Qi’s words carried a somewhat heavy tone.

Li Haofeng and the others listened to Xiahou Qi’s words, their expressions equally serious, nodding heavily at Bai Xiaosheng.

Those were their worries as well.

"Perhaps, we can go step by step, a gradual approach," Li Haofeng hesitated for a moment and suggested.

Zheng Honghu and Xu Youruo also nodded.

Currently, Shen Peishen has fallen, their side is strong, and over time, the Greater China Region will change its old appearance.

They came here this time, afraid that Bai Xiaosheng might be too hasty, hoping to advise him to act prudently, which would be more secure and face less resistance.

At the very least, it would spare Bai Xiaosheng from unnecessary risks.

Hearing everyone speak like this, Bai Xiaosheng knew they were thinking of him and immediately smiled, "Thank you, Elder Xia, and everyone else for your concern."

"However, this time, I’m afraid I can’t agree with Elder Xia and your opinions."

"This time, let’s bring a storm!" Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes suddenly shone brightly.

Everyone looked at him in astonishment.

Bai Xiaosheng continued, "I also have a few words from my heart to say!"

"Since I became that New-type Affairs Officer, I noticed that the foundations of our Greater China Region are divided by regions."

"Each region governs itself, with wild growth, doing whatever makes money locally."

Bai Xiaosheng spoke sincerely to Xiahou Qi, "Elder Xia, I know that the situation was like this before you took over, and I don’t blame you at all. On the contrary, I checked the records; if it weren’t for you, the Greater China Region wouldn’t have developed this well over the years!"

Xiahou Qi laughed and scolded, "Don’t flatter me, just speak your mind. I know you’re entirely devoted to the public. That’s just how I like you! Moreover, what you’re saying is not wrong!"

Bai Xiaosheng admired Xiahou Qi’s magnanimity with a smile and then continued, "I’m not saying this is bad. The advantage of this approach is capturing a broader market, greatly increasing output value and revenue!"

"However, this brings obvious problems!"

"Without unified industrial planning, without collaboration between enterprises, between regions, it leads to poor competitiveness, waste of resources, weak brand strength. In the end, as the tides of the era subside, many enterprises die, and we start over again, with wild growth..."

Bai Xiaosheng spoke passionately, "This isn’t the situation I want. What I want is for our Greater China Region to have truly robust brands, big brands, even if only a dozen or twenty, that can stand proudly on the international stage. These would be the pride of Huaxia and our pride."

"Years later, they’ll still stand firm. When people mention them, they’ll still give a thumbs-up, praise their excellence, and speak well of our Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region."

"Talking about them will remind people of us pioneers and they’ll genuinely say, ’Impressive!’"

Bai Xiaosheng’s words surprised Xiahou Qi and the others, but soon their eyes also shone brightly.

For someone so young, just ascending to a high position, Bai Xiaosheng thinks so far ahead, drawing a blueprint even they aspire to.

"To achieve that goal, I need to reorganize the headquarters, rectify the Affairs Department, and restructure each region!" Bai Xiaosheng said solemnly.

"I will do my utmost to overthrow all obstacles and start anew!"

"But I can’t use a gentle approach! You all know, I’ve obtained verbal permission from the group’s vice-chairman. What you don’t know is that I also made an agreement with our Asia Pacific Business President, Mr. Jiang Kuo."

Bai Xiaosheng looked at everyone, raising two fingers, "Two years. During these two years, I guarantee the basic performance baseline. In exchange, he allows me to make any internal adjustments, even helping me suppress negative appeals!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s words left Li Haofeng and others astonished.

Even Xiahou Qi was surprised, "Even Jiang Kuo agreed!"

"But, how do we maintain the performance baseline?" Li Haofeng murmured.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly, "I know a major financial group—the Wei Family. I’m also friends with Mr. Lu Yun and have a good relationship with leaders of several large enterprises. If the cooperation method is appropriate, a win-win situation is not a problem!"

"Right now, what I want is to first launch a thunderous attack to clean up some obstinate people, and then allow those willing to reform to benefit their regions first!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s smile appeared, "I’m also planning to adopt a new incentive system. Those leaders willing to reform can take a share from the newly added parts as a reward, enriching a group first!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s words made Xiahou Qi and others involuntarily gasp.

Everyone looked at Bai Xiaosheng, full of amazement.

He’s planning to play a big move!
