Zhou Ming and Tang Ran drove to the Otto Building, which is a more famous office building on the street in downtown Paro, and Paro City is located between San Francisco and Santa Clara, originally just an ordinary farm, and later due to the establishment of Hewlett-Packard Company here, which triggered the subsequent development of Silicon Valley, and today there are many high-tech companies located here, so Paro City is also known as the center of Silicon Valley.

California Street is the most central street in Paro, the center of Silicon Valley, and Zhou Ming and Tang Ran went upstairs to the 19th floor of the Otto Building, where Tang Ran was about to take over the company Jieke.

As the largest company on this floor, the signboard of Jackco is right in front of the elevator, which can be seen as long as the elevator door is opened, and in front of the signboard, there is a tall, thin young man with glasses waiting there.

Zhou Ming and Tang Ran walked out of the elevator, and the young man was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhou Ming and Tang Ran, and then took two steps forward and asked with some uncertainty: "Is it Ms. Tang Ran and Mr. Zhou Ming?"

Zhou Ming nodded and replied: "She is Tang Ran, and I am Zhou Ming." ”

After getting the answer, the young man breathed a sigh of relief: "Hello, my name is Cheng Qian, and I am the person in charge of the previous Jieke Company. I'm sorry you came so suddenly, I wasn't prepared at all, otherwise I should have picked you up and come to the company. ”

"You're the current CEO of Jackco, right? There's nothing to be embarrassed to admit, after all, you didn't cause Jacko to be what he is now. Zhou Ming waved his hand and continued, "In addition, I don't think there is anything to prepare, what it should be is what it is, even if you prepare well, but the actual situation is not like that, it doesn't seem to be useful, right?"

Zhou Ming's words made the young man named Cheng Qian stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said: "Indeed, no matter how much you whitewash the peace, you can't cover up the truth, especially after I leave Jieke in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Qian seemed to think about what he said that he shouldn't say, he immediately took Zhou Ming and Tang Ran into the company, originally Cheng Qian meant to go to the conference room, and asked the people of the company to come over for a meeting to get to know each other, but Zhou Ming asked him to take one office after another. Cheng Qian didn't understand Zhou Ming's request, but since they were sent by the Tang family, his foreign surname didn't have much to say, so he could only do it.

They were going from the outside, so the first thing they went in was the outermost marketing office.

It was a very large office, half the size of a basketball court, but there were only five people sitting at their desks, talking on the phone, or writing something.

Cheng Qian explained: "This is the largest office in the company, and there were originally many marketers, but as the company's situation continued to deteriorate, after the continuous layoffs, only these people remained, and their performance was still very good compared to others." ”

After saying that, Cheng Qian clapped his hands, and the five salesmen all got up from their seats and walked over, and Cheng Qian immediately introduced: "This is the Ms. Tang Ran and Mr. Zhou Ming I told you, they will take over the company instead of me in the future, they are professional managers appointed by the board of directors, as long as you follow them to work hard, I believe that Jieke Company will be better!"

"Please rest assured that Mr. Cheng will sincerely cooperate with the new boss, show our best positive attitude, and do our job well!"

"This is the manager of our marketing department, named Fu Tao, who became the manager step by step by relying on his marketing ability and customer recognition. Cheng Qian said to Zhou Ming and Tang Ran.

With the introduction of Cheng Qian, Fu Tao took the initiative to come forward and said: "Hello Ms. Tang Ran and Mr. Zhou Ming, I am Fu Tao, I am very happy to meet you here, please forgive me, I think our marketing department is the best part of the company, whether it is in the past when the company was brilliant, or after the decline, I think our marketing department has never given up the company, it can be said that no matter the past, present or future, we will always support the company!"

In this regard, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran just nodded but didn't say anything, which made Cheng Qian a little surprised, because he originally thought that since Zhou Ming and Tang Ran came, they would give an enthusiastic speech to motivate the employees, and this is the purpose of their initiative to go to various offices, but he didn't expect that they didn't have the desire to say anything at all, why is this?

However, he was surprised, but Cheng Qian didn't know Zhou Ming and Tang Ran, so he had to do whatever they did, he patted Fu Tao's shoulder and signaled him to continue working with his colleagues.

Cheng Qian took Zhou Ming and Tang Ran into the second one was the technology and R&D office, and it can be seen from the sign at the door of the office that this is a department that has just been merged, and Cheng Qian's introduction also proves this very well.

"Don't hide it, originally this was just a technical office, which was responsible for providing technical advice to all the customers who came to the company, but then due to continuous layoffs, it is now merged with the R&D office, and there are only three people left, but the number is small, but they are also the elite retained by the company, I personally appreciate their ability, I believe that as long as they are present, no matter what difficulties can be solved. ”

Cheng Qian said as he took Zhou Ming into the office, inside was an old man and two young configurations, of course, this old man is relative to two young people, in fact, he is only in his thirties and less than forty years old.

Behind the technology and R&D office is the finance, different from the two offices in front, there is only a middle-aged woman with glasses, Cheng Qian introduced to Zhou Ming: "This is the company's accounting cashier Ms. Susan, she is also an old employee of the company, she is not only very serious and responsible, but also more able to say her own ideas." ”

As if to prove Cheng Qian's introduction, when Cheng Qian said this, Susan looked up and said: "Mr. Cheng, what about the promise of hiring an accountant? You know that Jackco is not a small company, he has a lot of accounts every day, even if I don't go to coffee, I can't complete these tasks in eight hours, if you can't fulfill your promise, I can assure you, even if you pay more, I won't work overtime." ”

Susan's words made Cheng Qian feel a little embarrassed, he said: "I'm sorry Ms. Susan, but it's not that I don't want to fulfill my promise, but my job has changed, and it is Ms. Tang Ran who will take over the company next." ”

"Okay Tang, I hope you can pay a little attention to the accounting work, otherwise I dare to guarantee that the tax department will come to your door tomorrow to help you check the accounts." Susan continued to work with her head down.

In this regard, Cheng Qian shrugged his shoulders a little embarrassed and said: "As I said, Ms. Susan is more able to say her own thoughts, but she is still very serious and responsible for her work, and she is also very familiar with the company's accounts. ”

"So if you don't recruit an assistant for her to come in, will she really strike?" Tang Ran asked suddenly.

Cheng Qian shook his head and said, "I'm sorry I can't judge this, because I've never heard of such a situation, but with his character, I'm really a little worried." ”

Zhou Ming silently wrote it down: "Not only for work, it seems that she is also very serious about herself." ”

"And the last office, the office of the vice president of the company, runs the company with me, but she's more of a back-office for the company. ”

Cheng Qian knocked on the door of the last office with Zhou Ming and Tang Ran as he spoke, and met the only vice president of Jieke Company, which was different from what Zhou Ming and Tang Ran thought, this vice president was not a bald middle-aged man nor a very energetic young man, let alone a middle-aged woman, but a very young and beautiful girl.

Coming out of the vice president's office, Cheng Qian said to Zhou Ming and Tang Ran: "In addition to the office of the Otto Building, the company also has an electronics factory in Dongparo District, but after the previous layoffs, the factory has almost stopped, and there are only seven workers who are still there. ”

Cheng Qian was also very embarrassed about the word rental: "There is no way to do this, after all, the current situation is very bad." ”

Zhou Ming shook his head and said that he didn't care, he glanced at the time and asked: "Now it's half past four, and I'm about to get off work, if Mr. Cheng Qian you don't have other arrangements, I don't know if I can invite you to have a meal together?"

For Zhou Ming's invitation, Cheng Qian originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist Zhou Ming's invitation, so he finally agreed, so more than half an hour later, they sat in a Chinese restaurant box on California Street.

After ordering the food, Cheng Qian first said: "Thank you very much Ms. Tang Ran and Mr. Zhou Ming for your hospitality, but please forgive me, as the future managers of Jieke Company, you should invite other people to eat together, or the middle management cadres among them, because I am the one who is about to leave Jieke, and I will not have too much influence on Jieke." ”

"Of course I will invite others, after all, I have already met just now, everyone is Chinese, and some superficial work is still very necessary, but today I invite Mr. Cheng Qian, I think it is also necessary. Zhou Ming said.

"This is because Mr. Zhou Ming is still Ms. Tang Ran, you have a lot of questions you want to ask me, right?" asked Cheng Qian.

Zhou Ming was not surprised that Cheng Qian could guess, because he never concealed his thoughts, but he shook his head and replied: "If you want to say that there must be problems, but there are not so many, I just want to ask you, where do you think the biggest problem of Jieke Company is, or why do you think he fell to this point?"

Faced with this question, Cheng Qian showed a helpless wry smile: "This is a big problem, and it must be impossible to finish talking about in one sentence." ”

Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly and said, "It doesn't matter, because we're in a restaurant now, and I think I have enough time to listen to you tell this story." ”

Cheng Qian smiled again, and then he said: "Okay, I think Mr. Zhou Ming, I am afraid that you have guessed that the biggest problem of Jieke Company now is these employees." ”
