In Too's China office, Wang Danhui sat in her office, leisurely flipping through a magazine.

As the marketing director of the China office of a multinational company, she doesn't have much to do. The sales volume of Toao software in China is not large, and several agents are mainly agents of other software, piggybacking on selling several sets of Toao CAD. Because of the small sales volume, Wang Danhui usually does not need to contact them.

Every year, the headquarters allocates some public relations funds to the China office, which is roughly enough to hold a few offline activities and do some limited advertising. Wang Danhui needs to make a marketing plan every year, determine the placement of advertisements and public relations advertorials, and then arrange the organization of offline activities. When Li Kejia was in this position, she had already come up with a set of corresponding templates, and Wang Danhui could use them with a little modification on this basis, which made her even more useless.

For Tuo's corporate headquarters, building a Chinese office and spending millions of dollars a year to support a group of people is actually just a step to maintain a market presence. The money was insignificant to Tuo, and the company didn't expect anything big from its China office.

Wang Danhui is very satisfied with her position, she was not a person who wanted to do a big career, but now she doesn't work much in this position and gets a lot of money, which can be called a beautiful difference. The only thing that bothered her was that she was pampered every day, and she didn't even need to move her brain for a while, and her weight began to increase significantly.

Do you want to get a fitness card and start exercising? I heard that the swimming effect is good, why don't you inquire and see which place has the best swimming pool conditions...... , Wang Danhui thought unexpectedly.

"Jingle bell!"

The phone on the table rang, Wang Danhui lazily picked up the phone and said "Hello" casually. She said this not because she felt that the other party was a foreigner, and more than 99% of the people who called her on weekdays were Chinese, such as front desk, reporters, agents, advertisers, classmates, relatives, etc., she said that this "Hello" was purely for the sake of setting up the spectrum of foreign companies. She now goes home and chats with her mother, and she has to bring one or two English words in every sentence, and it is estimated that it will not be long before her mother can go to the fourth level exam......

"Is it Miss Wang?"

What came out of the phone was a sentence of English with an accent from across the ocean.

Wang Danhui immediately cheered up, she sat up straight, put the earpiece closer to her ear, and at the same time a smile bloomed on her face. Don't think that you can't stop smiling without a video call, and you can carry a person's expression in your voice.

"Is that Mr. Curran? I'm Wang Danhui. ”

Wang Danhui replied softly, she had already heard it, and it was her immediate boss on the other end of the phone, Curran, the marketing director of Tuo's corporate headquarters.

"Miss Wang, I would like to know if you arranged the recent article in a number of Chinese media outlets condemning the piracy of Tuao. Curran's voice was stiff, and one could imagine a serious face like a playing card.

"Isn't the article in the media ......" Wang Danhui subconsciously wanted to say, "Didn't the headquarters bypass us and send it out", but when the words came to her mouth, she quickly changed her words. Curran said this, which means that this matter was not arranged by the headquarters, and the heart she has been hanging on should be able to let go.

But as soon as the concerns here were put aside, another bigger concern came to mind: how could Curran know about this, and when he made this call, did he praise himself or criticize himself?

"These articles are not arranged by us. We have learned that it was only after a certain department of the Chinese government that there was a new directive on the issue of piracy that the media followed up. By the way, it seems that this matter has something to do with the Chinese Government's ongoing WTO accession talks. Wang Danhui's nonsense came as soon as she opened her mouth.

In the past two years, she has relied on the Chinese company Tiangao Emperor Yuan, and the headquarters does not understand the situation in China, and has already said a lot of nonsense. Anyway, Americans are also relatively naïve, as long as their nonsense is not flawed, the other party will not be able to find out.

"Why didn't you report this situation to the headquarters in time!"

Curran's words carried a bit of anger, which made Wang Danhui understand in an instant that the headquarters' evaluation of this matter was negative, but fortunately he didn't say that he arranged it by himself just now.

Wang Danhui didn't say that she arranged this matter, firstly, because she couldn't figure out how the headquarters would evaluate it, and secondly, because she wanted to organize such a big media public relations, she must apply to the headquarters, and it was impossible to make decisions on her own, so she couldn't take credit if she wanted to. Now it seems that it was right not to take credit.

"Mr. Curran, this incident was so sudden that the media sent out the manuscript without first informing us. When we found out, we quickly reached out to these media outlets to understand the context. At the moment we have not completed the entire investigation, and I had planned to submit a detailed report to Headquarters in a day or two. Wang Danhui said.

Curran asked coldly, "What are the contents of the detailed report you are talking about?"

"The main reasons for the publication of these manuscripts, the number of manuscripts published so far, the impact on Tuo after the publication of the manuscripts, and by the way, the follow-up measures that need to be taken by the China office. Wang Danhui said it clearly, as if what she was in front of was not a "reader", but a report material she was writing.

"To what extent do you know about the impact of all this publicity on Tuo?" asked Curran.

"There are still some impacts, uh, mainly public opinion issues, and some media outlets have followed up after previous media reports, which reflects the broader attention that the issue of piracy has received. By the way, there is also some feedback from the agent, saying......" Wang Danhui said while thinking, and gradually got stuck.

In terms of agents, it is true that the marketing staff of two companies called her, but mainly to ask whether these promotions were carried out by the China office, and whether it would affect the agency policy and so on. But Wang Danhui certainly can't report to Curran like this, she should say that this move has led to a better or worse sales situation, but is it better or worse? This is not something that can be said casually, because sales data cannot be faked.

"Ms. Wang, I'm shocked by the difference in your professional standards!" Curran erupted at the other end, "Did you know that at least 10 ministries in China have issued notices to their subsidiaries that they must immediately remove all pirated To'o software, and according to the most optimistic estimates, the proportion of engineers using To'o software in China's large and medium-sized enterprises has dropped from more than 90 percent to less than 5 percent?"

"This is a major setback that Tuo Software has never experienced in a single market, and it means that we will lose the Chinese market. As the marketing director of the China office, you don't know anything about this, I really don't know what you do every day!"

"Mr. Curran, where did you get this news? Is there some misinformation?" Wang Danhui was completely panicked. She really hadn't heard of any notices from at least 10 ministries. Of course, she is not the only staff member in the China office, but colleagues in other departments should not know about it, otherwise they would have brought it up to them. Could it be that someone secretly sued the headquarters?

Thinking of this, a name came to her mind, could it be Sun Jie, the second and fifth sister?

Curran's answer cleared Sun Jie's grievances: "It was the people from the company's technical department who heard the news when they went to China to attend a technical seminar, and they immediately learned about it from the representatives of the Chinese companies who participated in the seminar, thus confirming this situation." I am very shocked that no one in the China office reports to the headquarters for such a big thing, especially you, the marketing director, you don't think that the salary paid by the company is just for you to go to work every day and read all kinds of boring magazines. ”

Wang Danhui trembled all over, and almost wanted to throw the magazine in front of her into the paper basket. Could it be that this Curran has clairvoyance and actually knows what he is doing.

"Recently, recently...... I've been preparing for next month's pitch event at five major universities, and I haven't had time to pay attention to the government's movements. Sun Jie was in charge of the government contact, and she didn't report to me in time...... "Wang Danhui was busy throwing the pot out, anyway, she could detain whoever she could."

"Now is not the time for you to shirk your responsibilities, and the China office must start acting now to eliminate the negative impact and restore our market share. Someone from the technology department came back and said that the Chinese government had recommended a software called Huaxia CAD to various companies, and that all companies were currently purchasing the software. If this software takes over the market, it will become a terrible competitor. You have to squeeze this out of Huaxia CAD with Tuo CAD before it gets worse. ”

Huaxia CAD?

Isn't this what new Jingwei company Li Kejia went to?

Wang Danhui remembered it all of a sudden. Huaxia CAD itself is not a product worthy of Wang Danhui's attention, in fact, why should Tuao Software pay attention to other products? Wang Danhui knew about Huaxia CAD only because her predecessor went to the new Jingwei company that produced this software, and she even learned about such a thing from the small talk of her colleagues in the company.

When she first heard about it, she even had a sneering attitude. Isn't it stupid that the good Tuo company doesn't stay and goes to work in a domestic software company?

But this moment, she suddenly realized what was terrible. Li Kejia went out from the Tuao Company and is extremely familiar with the situation of the Tuao Company. Li Kejia dared to show her sword to Tuao Company, presumably because she found Tuao's weakness, and she Wang Danhui, as Li Kejia's successor and competitor, also competed, but she didn't know anything about the new Jingwei Company.

Knowing each other and knowing oneself can survive a hundred battles, she doesn't even know what the opponent's situation is now, let her squeeze the opponent out of the market, the concubine can't do it!
