Chapter 14 Recruitment of new employees

After sending Lin Quan away, Yin Jie received an internal call from Bella as soon as he sat down.

"Evita, have you both seen it?"

"Yes, just met the second one. ”

"What do you think?"

"I'll come and talk. ”

Yin Jie was reluctant to discuss personnel topics in public.

Bella was alone in her office, fiddling with a pot of bamboo on her desk.

Yin Jie now knows that Bella is actually Ning Haoran's girlfriend. This also explains why Bella shows a very special sense of ownership and responsibility in her daily work. According to the grapevine, she used to be a staff member of the Jin Mao Hotel, and Ning Haoran met several times when she went to visit the customers who lived in the hotel, and she had a good impression, and she became a couple when she consciously approached.

Bella has been with Ning Haoran for three years and is now 25 years old, and Mr. Ning is 42 years old. Ignoring the age factor, the appearance and height of the two people are absolutely right, and they are very talented and beautiful. Whatever Mr. Ning's intentions, Bella assumed a similar role as a great butler in the Ning clan. Because she believes that this is her own company, she is not only willing to take responsibility in her daily work, but also usually takes a fair and objective stance when dealing with personnel and financial issues.

"Bella, I agree with your conclusion after 'one side'. Both of these people may be able to enter the Ning clan in principle. But from LS's point of view, I'm leaning more towards Flora. ”

"Why? Because she speaks English?"

"That's just one aspect. ”

Yin Jie took a sip of the teacup.

"Do you remember the conditions I listed? In short, I want an assistant who has good language skills, good appearance, team spirit, ability to endure hardships, and preferably the ability to think and work independently. Flora is better than Lin Quan. Not only is English as a native speaker, but according to her, German is also good. Of course the German language level is assessed after three times Mr. Dening. Another thing I like is that she has just graduated from college and is like a blank sheet of paper that is easy to shape. The appearance is slightly green but can be adjusted, I feel that the personality is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, good at listening, there are certain principles in speech, but it is also relatively open, and I am willing to understand and accept the opinions of others. The ability to endure hardships can only be seen later. In addition, through a few small tests I set, it was proved that she does have a certain ability to think independently. ”

"What about forest tenure? Forest tenure is more mature and has work experience. ”

"Lin Quan has a good appearance and a dignified appearance. Yin Jie likes to talk about the advantages before talking about the shortcomings.

"But his language skills are relatively poor. And, I care a lot about one of his characteristics. ”

"What are the characteristics?"

"Whatever I said, he nodded and said yes. To be honest, I don't really want to work with people like that. To sum up, there are only two reasons why he did this: one is that no matter what I said, he didn't take it to heart at all, and nodding his head was perfunctory to me. If this is the case, then he may be very stubborn and difficult to communicate in the future, no matter what others say, he will do his own thing; the second possibility also exists, that is, he is a good person, honest and simple, unwilling to deny others, unwilling to say unpleasant things. Maybe other departments are more well-established and can tolerate good people and give him more time to adapt and adjust. But LS is different, I have very few people here for the whole year, there is still so much work, each member must be able to work independently, and the communication within the team should be direct and effective. If such a good old man is added, everyone will be very tired to cooperate. ”

Bella thought for a while, and said that she would arrange for Mr. Ning to meet three times later, and she would convey Yin Jie's opinion to Mr. Ning.

A few days later, Mr. Ning communicated with Yin Jie again after three meetings. In the end, Yin Jie got his wish and introduced Flora to the LS team.

Flora is a native of Beijing, but the "sassy" energy of Beijing girls has not yet been reflected in her. She has long curly hair tied behind her head with a simple black headband, a little freckles on her goose egg face, and wears a pair of glasses that are not low in prescription. He looks soft on the outside, but he is used to looking at people with serious eyes through the lenses.

She has just graduated, and there are still a series of personnel procedures to go through, and she originally planned to join the company on September 1. At Yin Jie's repeated insistence, he promised to be in place a week in advance.

This Monday is a big regular meeting, and usually Ning's employees in the imperial capital have to attend it despite all difficulties. It happened that many of my colleagues who had been away on business returned to the office. So I had to move a lot of chairs from the workspace into the conference room, and the whole room was packed. Yin Jie enthusiastically introduced Flora to all Ning's employees, and Flora answered several questions from other colleagues. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Flora probably didn't expect such a warm welcome meeting in advance, and her face turned red with excitement.

LS is just one of the younger branches of Ning's business, so the conversation quickly turned to Ning's other businesses. Yin Jie also took this opportunity to learn about the work of other departments.

After the regular meeting, Yin Jie handed over the introduction materials of LS to Flora, and informed her and Christina to train at 2 p.m.

Regarding the division of labor between the two, Yin Jie has been thinking about it for a while. Due to Flora's lack of work experience and Christina's poor team mentality, she has no plans to segment her target market to them at this time. She plans to spend six months to a year inspecting and training Flora until she can carry out initial project work independently, and she also plans to use this time to correct Christina's deviations in work concept and business awareness.

In the afternoon training meeting, Yin Jie first introduced Ning's business structure and department setup, and then introduced in detail the background of the LS project, the basic policy of introducing foreign investment in Haosen Prefecture, as well as the strategy, team configuration, job functions, and horizontal and vertical business cooperation chain of LS China. Flora listened attentively, scribbling in the new notebook she had just received. Christina's expression was a little erratic, and occasionally a little disapproving. At first glance, it was clear that she did not agree with the new strategic adjustment.

After answering Flora's business-related questions, Yin Jie suggested that Christina tell her juniors about her experience working at LS. On the one hand, the purpose of this is to encourage Christina to contribute more to the team, to add a little personal pride, to help Flora and help her integrate into the team herself, and on the other hand, to encourage her to speak up more freely, Yin Jie wants to create as many opportunities for her to express her real thoughts as possible. Perhaps when she finds that telling the truth has no side effects, she will be more inclined to be her true self and thus change the way she communicates.

Facing the clear and excited eyes of her juniors, Christina could no longer be vague. For the first time, she was frank about her understanding and feelings, mixed with some vague self-praise, but all in all she made progress.

Yin Jie didn't look into this issue in detail. She just said very clearly,

"The previous work is obvious to all, and certain achievements have been made. However, based on in-depth communication with the LS headquarters team, we have decided to focus our future work on the manufacturing industry and import and export enterprises, and government relations will become our most important auxiliary tool. ”

Next, she gave an overview of the situation of China's manufacturing industry going global, focusing on the analysis of the opportunities and challenges currently encountered by several target industries. What these industries have in common is that the domestic market tends to be saturated, and there is an urgent need to expand overseas markets. Then she gave a detailed introduction to the planning of the Nanjing meeting, and the three of them discussed the workflow table one by one, and each detail was divided into people, and the work requirements were clearly explained. Most importantly, she announced the timelines and criteria for evaluating the work in the pre-, during, and post-project phases. Finally, it is stated that the results of each phase of the evaluation will be weighted as the project work evaluation, which will be included in the year-end work evaluation.

She secretly observed the expressions of the two people, Flora was nervous mixed with excitement, more excited. Christina, on the other hand, is a mixture of nervousness and dissatisfaction, and some... Resentment.

Yin Jie saw it in his eyes but didn't care. With the decision to lead the project, Christina's self-deceptive life was over, and everyone on the team had to keep up.

This was the first time a small team had worked together, and she wanted to make sure the project was a success. The personal performance in this activity can also help her and Mr. Ning objectively judge their respective work attitudes, abilities, strengths and weaknesses, and only use them in the future.

Yin Jie has always maintained regular briefings with Mr. Ning every Monday, as well as monthly Skype meetings with Marcus.

In China, events such as the Nanjing Conference are generally referred to as investment promotion conferences. When Yin Jie was working in the local business department, he would hold such promotion meetings overseas twice a year. At that time, he and his colleagues aimed to bring high-quality overseas customers to China for investment, in which the organization and conference work of the customers were entrusted to the local cooperation department/institution. The difference now is that this part of the work is taken back and done on its own. She knew exactly what event organizers were looking for from event contractors, which made her communication with Marcus extremely smooth. This thoughtful consideration and efficiency of work, always one step ahead, has greatly increased the actual expectations of Marcus and the team at HQ for her work. This can be seen in the hearty laughter that comes out of every phone call between Mr. Ning and Erdmann.

Preparations for the event are well underway.

LS has held similar promotion meetings in China before, and the specific conference outsourcing and guest invitation affairs have rules to follow, which only need to be fine-tuned according to regional and industrial differences. The most difficult part of the Nanjing conference was the invitation of participants, but Yin Jie did not plan to outsource the work to local government agencies or industry associations, and only get a monotonous number of companies and attendees. In her experience, if she had done so, most of the attendees would have been unrelated companies or small employees in the business. Since the organizers only ask for numbers, it is natural that local institutions will save trouble when they have limited personnel and no additional financial support. Now that she has made a military order, she intends to do every step of the work in place.

Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu Province and is located in the economically developed Yangtze River Delta region. As one of the developed provinces on the eastern coast, Jiangsu Province has made remarkable achievements in economic construction since the reform and opening up. However, the economic development of the southern, central and northern regions of the province has gradually weakened in a stepwise manner from south to north. After the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, Jiangsu Province implemented the transformation and upgrading project, and the adjustment of industrial institutions was accelerated, which improved its market competitiveness to a certain extent. At present, among the 150 industrial subdivisions listed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 92 fields in Jiangsu rank among the top five in the country, of which the output value of electronics, machinery and textiles ranks first in the country, and emerging industries such as new materials, energy conservation and environmental protection, medicine, software, new energy, and marine engineering equipment are developing rapidly. The participating companies of this Nanjing conference revolve around the above industries.

During this time, Flora and Christina's entire work was devoted to gathering information on these industries. Yin Jie is responsible for the summary and analysis of information.

There is no way, there is no foundation in the early stage, and it is inevitable to work hard now. In order to save time, Yin Jie directly drafted the enterprise information collection form. All you need to do is collect the information and fill in the data. When Marcus was consulted, the venerable old gentleman also made a lot of pertinent comments on the setting of indicators. This benefited Yin Jie a lot, and he further realized the difference in working culture and operation mode between the two countries.

Most of the country is Catholic. Influenced by the concept of Catholicism, the culture of country S advocates personal values, emphasizes high-level needs, pays attention to rationality and science, emphasizes logical reasoning and rational analysis, and specifically manages that it is highly disciplined. The people of S are very diligent and hardworking, but they also attach great importance to humanized management, although they often spend more time on project design, but the decision-making efficiency is very high.

... ...

During this time, Flora had to be urged to get up from her seat and go out with the group. Once Yin Jie vaguely saw a dreamy feeling like mosquito smoke in her eyes, and she couldn't help but be moved and told her to pay attention to protecting her eyes, and get up and move after working for a while. Compared with Flora, Christina is the other extreme, she almost has to get up to go to the toilet or go to the coffee corner to make tea and pour coffee every half an hour when she works, and every time she meets other colleagues, she sighs and says that she is working so hard now, and it seems that Yin Jie's squeezing has made her "life is worse than death". But the strange thing is that the work progress of the two of them is actually comparable, which makes Yin Jie wonder. She consciously paid attention to the progress of the two of them when they commuted to and from work every day, and found that Christina actually had a lot of work done at home after work. Could it be that she is particularly efficient at home? Based on her performance in the unit, Yin Jie has doubts about this. Could it be that someone in the family helped her?

If this is the latter, what does this mean? Is it a lack of motivation due to some resistance to Yin Jie's arrangement? Or is it a lack of patience for the groundwork?
