Factional Struggle_2 Donnie’s disappointment could no longer be concealed.

He had considered that Mashang Evans might not be capable enough, but since he couldn’t find a suitable replacement and ABC’s development was indeed quite good, this led Donnie to keep Evans in the position.

But now, Evans’s performance made it clear to Donnie that he could no longer drag this out, and he had to find a new helmsman for ABC as soon as possible.

“Alright, let’s leave this matter be for now, and I hope we won’t have such problems in the future!”

Donnie said calmly.

Mashang Evans breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Donnie wasn’t going to pursue the matter any further.

...

After Evans left, Donnie called for Robert.

“It appears the time to establish our own talent reserve has become an urgent matter!”

In dealing with ABC’s situation, Donnie saw not just the issue with Evans’s capabilities; that was just an external factor.

The real problem was the lack of talent reserve on his own part.

If Donnie had his own talent reserve, then ABC’s problem wouldn’t be an issue at all!

Robert first asked why Donnie had such an urgent desire, and after receiving his reply, Robert said.

“Even if we start creating our own talent reserve now, it will take some time, and it won’t solve ABC’s current problem!”

Donnie nodded and replied, “I am well aware of that.

But as for ABC’s issue, it can be resolved by other means.

However, if we had our own talent reserve now, we wouldn’t need any other means!”

“So, what’s your plan?”

Robert had no objections to Donnie’s idea of creating a talent reserve and asked directly.

Donnie said, “We’ll make contacts with various universities.

Every year during the universities’ graduation season, we want to recruit some talent and send them to Cres Investment Company for temporary positions.

After training and observation, they’ll be dispatched to various companies!”

Cres Investment Company was something Donnie and Helen had agreed upon during their trip to Atlanta.

Later on, Kafe Jackson registered Cres Investment Company for Donnie in New York, and Donnie also placed some of his investments under the company’s name.

For now, Jesse Livermore is managing the company for Donnie.

“So, how many people should we plan to recruit initially?” Robert continued to inquire.

Donnie replied, “Let’s start with 100 people.

However, in addition to on-site recruiting, we should also establish a scholarship fund to financially support some students from impoverished families to complete their education!”

Donnie’s actions were not just out of a sudden burst of generosity.

There were two benefits to establishing a scholarship fund.

Firstly, it could help Donnie establish good relations with major universities in the United States.

In the industries Donnie was planning to enter, many would be involved in the development of high-tech, and in such cases, university labs would become one of Donnie’s key partners.

Secondly, college graduates in the United States were still in high demand, with basically no worries about employment.

If Donnie wanted to compete for talent more effectively with other companies, he would need some additional expenditure.

Having students supported by his own scholarships work at his company would be ideal—earning money for him even while they were studying.

Robert understood his strengths and weaknesses.

Although Donnie’s plan was good, for him, it was a disadvantage to engage in.

His understanding of universities was limited to knowing which university had girls that were easier to hook up with.

So, he said, “It’s best to let someone with college experience take charge of this, I’m not up to it!”

Donnie understood what Robert meant and said, “Let them handle the specifics, but you’ll still need to be the one in charge overall!”

Once the talent reserve was established, in a few years, these individuals would become the core strength of Donnie’s companies.

The issue with ABC was a lesson; Donnie did not want some people to use this power to become an existence capable of contending with him.

Robert nodded and asked, “So, who should we put in charge of this?”

“I’ve already called Eva.

He’ll be here soon!” said Donnie.

“Now that the business at United States Logistics has got on the right track, Eva’s ability has also been tested, and I’ve learned from Chris that Eva’s loyalty is also reliable.

Plus, his graduation from Columbia University is enough to make him responsible for this!”

Robert thought for a moment and then said, “Eva Cowan does have some ability.

Chris mentioned to me when he was drinking at my place that the logistics at United States Logistics were very good under Eva Cowan’s management!”

Donnie nodded, as he had chosen Eva Cowan for this reason too.

It wasn’t long before Eva Cowan arrived at Donnie’s office.

However, he didn’t start by discussing the establishment of the talent reserve with Eva Cowan but talked to him about the situation at ABC.

“The internal factional struggle at ABC is now affecting the company’s normal operations.

What do you think we should do about this?”

Although unsure why his boss was asking him about ABC’s situation, Eva Cowan thought seriously for a while and said, “Boss, after a company moves beyond the initial start-up phase and grows stronger, internal factional struggles are inevitable, so it is unrealistic to want to completely eradicate them!”

Donnie asked with a smile, “So, are you saying there are factional struggles inside United States Logistics as well?”

Eva Cowan’s expression faltered, not expecting the fire to be brought upon himself, but when he saw Donnie’s smile, he still nodded and said, “That’s right, there are factional struggles within United States Logistics.

Like Cassie and me, we are not members of the original team at the company, so to have our own say within the company, we need to stick together.

In order to maintain our prestige within the company, we have to find ways to seek more benefits for our departments and subordinates.”

However, boss, rest assured, although we do this, we will never act against the company’s interests!”

Donnie’s trust and doubts about Eva Cowan’s answer were fifty-fifty.

Clear waters are void of fish; people are selfish by nature.

They say they have not harmed the company’s interests, but in Donnie’s view, that means they have not harmed the company’s core interests.

But to say they haven’t sought benefits for themselves, Donnie definitely didn’t believe that!

However, none of this mattered anymore.

Anyone who runs a company and imagines that their company is always harmonious should give up on the idea of being a boss.

Therefore, Donnie didn’t take issue with Eva Cowan over this matter but continued to inquire, “So, what’s your take on ABC’s situation?”

Eva Cowan let out a slight sigh of relief and then said, “Right now, I’m not aware of the specific internal situation at ABC.

If you want me to solve this, I would need to go to ABC’s headquarters and stay for at least one or two months to think of a concrete solution.

However, before that, I believe there is one thing that is certain!”

“What’s that?”

“That is, if people within the company have started to harm the company’s interests due to infighting, then we cannot be lenient.

Some of these people must be dealt with, and it cannot simply be a purging of one faction.

We need to ensure a balance in the company’s internal power structure, so it’s necessary to clear out some people from several factions!”

Donnie showed a satisfied smile after hearing this.

This was the approach he wanted, not the kind of talking it out that Mashang Evans had suggested.

The company was his; they had already gained quite a bit of benefit from the company.

To now discuss terms with them was a joke!

“Very well, I will arrange for you to go to ABC.

Solve this within two months.

Any problems?”
