Chapter 68: Gift-giving
The next morning, Yin Jie came to the office and was greeted by the greetings of her colleagues and the smiling faces of the two girls in the "LS Work Island".
Yin Jie brought a small Swiss Army knife to Summer and Flora as gifts. This saber has fewer functions, only 4 types, and is smaller in size than ordinary sabers, but it can be carried with you on trains and planes. The two girls said they liked it very much, and they were very happy.
Yin Jie took out another piece of sealed Appenze cheese and handed it to Summer. The clever girl willingly took it to the coffee corner, cut it into small pieces and put it in a large red bowl, and left it on the counter, so that her passing colleagues could try it together.
Flora has booked a medium-sized meeting room in advance. During the week-long vacation, Yin Jie made a PPT of his business trip to Haosen. Now this PPT is projected on the big screen, and Yin Jie explains item by item on the side, occasionally explaining the local business practices, special situations encountered and solutions. At the end of the PPT, she added a few photos of the landscape taken during the vacation.
After the slide show, the two girls were still immersed in the landscape of country S. Summer was just admiring, but Flora was stunned for a while, and asked coldly:
"Evita, do you think the two of us will have a chance to go to country S in the future?
Yin Jie said with a smile: "I heard that from this year onwards, training will be held every year for personnel stationed abroad in various states, and one person will participate in it every year, and everyone will have the opportunity to go to Sullick to participate in the training in the future." ”
The two girls cheered.
Yin Jie pinched a cold sweat in his heart. If these two children knew how this opportunity came about, would they be suspicious of their own head?
"Alright, let's get down to business. Now we will do a comprehensive review of this expedition. Yin Jie knocked on the table, temporarily suppressing the enthusiasm of the two girls.
The three of them stated their work content, goals, actual situation, and problems in turn, and discussed and improved their own improvement suggestions. Yin Jie asked Summer:
"What was the result of the return visit to the inspectors?"
"Only a few companies were interviewed. A few other companies may have too high a level of participation, but as soon as I finished talking about the purpose, I refused, saying that I asked you to come back and call them. ”
This is also the usual practice of Chinese companies, which emphasizes reciprocity in everything. Or maybe the CEOs think Summer is too young and worry that she doesn't understand what she means?
"What was the situation with the companies we interviewed, and was the feedback positive about the trip?"
"It's positive. Among them, Director Xiao of Minmetals said that they are interested in the two companies they have visited this time, and they will discuss specific cooperation methods. He wouldn't say anything else. Director Xie of Qianhe Pharmaceutical said that he was very grateful to us for arranging a visit to Abbott, and they were discussing the possibility of cooperation internally. Mr. Lin Dongyun said that he planned to talk about cooperation with the three companies he came into contact with, and one of them was a member of the delegation. ”
That's why the return visit didn't go well!
Yin Jie softened his tone and said, "You did a good job, but there is still a lot of room for improvement." I will now ask you two questions:1. Why are most of the participants reluctant to talk to you?2. What are some of the gaps in the information you have received from several participants, and is it necessary to fill in the gaps?3. How should the above two points be improved? I hope you two will think about it, and I will answer it at the regular meeting next Monday. ”
Yin Jie closed the notebook in front of him and said, "That's all for today's meeting. Flora, you're in charge of putting together the minutes of the meeting, and I'm done sending them to you. ”
This child is always lost, so let her do more writing work to sharpen her temperament.
At noon, Yin Jie and Bella came to the café downstairs for a simple lunch.
Yin Jie just took a sip of coffee, suddenly remembered something, took out a beautiful paper packaging gift box from the pocket of the loose windbreaker and handed it to Bella opposite.
"What is this?" Bella opened the box with some curiosity. Inside is a necklace of southern red beads. The central bead is the largest, decreasing on both sides. Each bead is carved in the shape of a rose, some in full bloom, some with buds, and some in perfect bloom.
"It's beautiful!" said Bella, heartily.
"For you. Yin Jie said as he played with his coffee cup.
"How can this be?" Bella startled. This is pure persimmon red, the largest one is the size of a thumb, and the smallest one is about the size of an index finger, not to mention the exquisite carving of each one. Such a string of 18 red and gorgeous, the whole bead chain is in perfect condition, and it is definitely precious.
"Ahem, I bought it at the flea market, I think it's an old thing. Foreigners don't know the goods, so they sold it to me for little money. As long as you don't mind its flea market origins. Yin Jie said a little embarrassed.
"I don't mind, but it's too expensive. Or if you tell me how much, I said a little uneasily.
"Then you might as well give it back to me. Yin Jie pouted and said, "I've changed several strings, and I have a few friends around me." ”
Bella eventually accepted it, and she loved the string of beads. Even if you don't have the opportunity to wear it in the short term, it's good to play with it in your spare time.
"Mr. Ning often performs abroad, can you ask him to help you keep an eye on it? Yin Jie suggested.
"He's a workaholic, don't you know? Every time he goes out, he has a very tight schedule, where does he have time to go to the second-hand market to buy things? He can only buy things that can be easily found in the store, and he has to find a good store and send him the address, so that he can find time to buy directly. Bella said disapprerovingly, "After a few times, I didn't even bother to ask him to bring anything." ”
"Wow, he's working so hard to make us feel a lot of pressure, okay? But if he's so busy, you can also go out and see for yourself during the Spring Festival vacation." ”
Bella looked helpless and said, "Don't mention it." I thought so, too. But he arranges for Chinese music to go out on tour during the Spring Festival every year, and if I want to go out with him, he will reduce the number of places in the department accordingly... As a result, my so-called vacation is the same as working on a regular day, or even busier. ”
Yin Jie smiled, patted Bella's hand and said, "Honey, that's what it takes to fall in love with a work-supremacist. Don't cry. He also made a gesture to help Bella wipe away her tears. Bella smiled and slapped her mischievous hand away.
"I'll tell you, there's a lot of good stuff in that flea market. I also bought a couple of nice things this time, including a pair of bronze wine bottles. I looked for someone to see it, and said it should be something from around the Han Dynasty. But do you know how much I spent?" she slapped Bella in a bit of a ruffian.
"500 euros?" Bella guessed.
"My dearest Bella, how could I spend so much money on something I don't know proven? I spent 50 oh on two wine bottles,!! "She happily opened her phone photo album and shared her treasures with Bella.
Bella, who accepted the second-hand southern red necklace, has completely let go. She fell in love with a lace neck ornament that Yin Jie bought, and despite Yin Jie's opposition, she decisively and unquestionably took it into her pocket. In exchange, she gave Yin Jie a box of Golden Fruit Mask.
Yin Jie actually regarded himself as a friend, which Bella didn't expect, but it made her very happy. She actually likes girls like Yin Jie, who are beautiful, tasteful, capable, and think about people everywhere. She also knows what Yin Jie wants, and she is happy to help with this.
Yin Jie was also very happy in his heart, this necklace was given to Bella on the surface, but it was actually shown to Ning Haoran. Bella will be embarrassed when faced with expensive gifts, even if she likes it, she will have moderation, but Ning Haoran will never have these concerns. In his opinion, all the employees in the company are completely no different from his subordinates. His answer was absolutely "I raised them, I didn't let them live on the streets, and I gave them space to play even if they had a little ability,... ... Then they have good things, what should they not do to honor me?" It's just that his strange psychology is deeply hidden after encountering a setback, and it will not be revealed easily.
Regarding that setback, Yin Jie once heard Irene mention that about two years ago, the business was developing very smoothly, and Ning Haoran accidentally revealed this idea in a complacent, and as a result, all the employees of the company resigned in one day. When Irene left, Ning Haoran still held on, saying that he didn't care, and such employees could be found in the labor market at any time. As a result, the next day, he was alone in the company and tossed between the phone calls of various departments, and he was half tired and half dead, so he had to relent, call Irene and beg her to come back... , which slowly accumulated the current team. Later, Bella joined in and acted as a shock absorber between Ning Haoran and employees in many things, and the company slowly developed.
Yin Jie gave this heavy gift today, the purpose is to indirectly express his obedience to Ning Haoran, so as to relieve the depression he has been suppressing in his heart "I want to clean up Evita but can't find a reason, what should I do", and strive to continue to create a relaxed environment for himself, give himself a little more time, so as to make more achievements and win more chips for the development of LS.
There's really no way around it.
Ning Haoran's mentality is actually shared by many private entrepreneurs, but most people are not as paranoid as him, and they are not as obvious as him, unlike him who has intermittent seizures when he encounters opportunities.
In the process of this trip to Haosen, Yin Jie did not say anything about the necessity and superiority of TH to directly set up a branch in the imperial capital, but her feedback to the domestic enterprise group undoubtedly enhanced the confidence of Erdmann and Marcus and others to open up the Chinese market. ability, as well as the fluency and harmony in communication and cooperation with colleagues, and clearly tell the two bosses that if you set up a point in China, not to mention anything else, the competent person has been put in your pocket, and there is no need to look for it.
In addition, if Diego can really facilitate the SEG project, it will open up a new channel for TH to do business in China, and it can also add a strong reason for TH to officially enter the Chinese market.
In this exchange with the bigwigs of country S, in addition to a more detailed understanding of the preferential policies that Chinese enterprises may get when investing in country S, Yin Jie also constantly compared the various measures of Haosen Prefecture with the investment measures of the imperial capital, not only this, but also in terms of rent, water and electricity, labor costs, etc. Erdmann and others have no idea of setting up a branch in China at this time, and perhaps they would think that Yin's move was intended to set up a benchmark so that headquarters staff could assess the cost affordability of Chinese companies to settle in Haosen. But one day in the future, when several bigwigs decide to set up a branch in China, they will suddenly say: "Ah, I already know the cost and preferential policies of setting up a branch in the imperial capital." ”
Everything is done in silence.
