194 [Thick Bad Taste]
The conference lasted a whole day and ended successfully.
At the dinner party in the evening, Song Weiyang also followed, their table was full of leaders of universities and scientific research institutions, but they recognized the presidents of several universities in Shenghai.
The other principals also had followers, but they were either not as prominent as Song Weiyang, or they were much older than Song Weiyang. There are two or three academic elites who have already made a name for themselves, future academic bulls, and now at least at the level of lecturers, are they embarrassed to compare with Song Weiyang, a sophomore?
Principal Yang only said this at the dinner table: "My student, the CEO of Xifeng Company. Today's young people are really, they don't study hard, and they still run to open some companies. However, he has done two things well, one is to create a college student volunteer association, and the other is to write a book recently. ”
The pretending to fly up, and the other principals were speechless.
Old man, there is no shortage of fame and fortune, and he fights for face when he has nothing to do, just like a child showing off his toys.
Song Weiyang could only bow down and toast, coax the principals to be happy, and went to talk nonsense to those young elites. After eating a meal, everyone had a very good impression of Song Weiyang, saying that this kid was more sensible than Principal Yang.
The next morning, Song Weiyang put on Little Red Riding Hood and set off with other volunteers.
This is pure bad taste, Song Weiyang left the relationship, and designated Coca-Cola's Asia-Pacific president Douglas Dudafu to serve.
The itinerary of the executives of various multinational companies is different, and Du Duf was first invited to visit Baosteel. Baosteel sent professional translators, but Song Weiyang had no place to use it, so he could only silently follow behind.
In the afternoon, Du Dafu went to visit the Shenghai Museum, the docent used Chinese, and Song Weiyang translated the whole process.
"This is the numismatic hall of the past dynasties in China...... Mr. Du Dafu, please see," Song Weiyang said, pointing to the coins in the glass cover, "These are ancient Central Asian coins donated by Du Weishan and Tan Duanyan, and they were introduced to China through the Silk Road, which is a perfect embodiment of ancient China's trade with other countries in the world." Many of these ancient coins are extinct in the center and belong to the unique products. ”
Du Dafu showed great interest in this, and was more serious than he had seen the Bronze Museum and the Calligraphy and Painting Museum before. He took out a magnifying glass, put his whole person on the glass cover, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, these ancient coins are all treasures of mankind." Thank you to the two donors for letting me see these treasures. If possible, I'd like to meet with the donors and ask them some questions about ancient coins. ”
Song Weiyang immediately translated, and the docent smiled: "Mr. Du is upstairs, he is the special consultant of the museum." ”
"That's great!" said Dudafu.
The narrator asked, "Do you need me to invite Mr. Du?"
Du Dafu said: "No, when I finish visiting the museum, I will visit him in person." ”
Du Weishan also has some background, he is the son of Du Yuesheng, and has donated more than 2,000 ancient coins to the Shenghai Museum.
Continuing the visit, Song Weiyang translated: "This is Jiaozi, originally issued in 1023 AD, which belongs to the legal tender of the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties, and is also the earliest paper money used in the world, six or seven hundred years earlier than the paper money of European and American countries." ”
"Amazing!" Du Dafu began to lie there again to admire, and asked Song Weiyang, "Do you know the words on this banknote?"
Song Weiyang said in English: "In addition to Xikang Province, this banknote can also be used in other states and counties, and its value is equivalent to that of copper coins." Nationwide meaning. ”
Du Dafu turned to Li Lisheng, president of Coca-Cola China, and Chen Qiwei, vice president, and said: "From these ancient coins of Central Asia and ancient Chinese banknotes, it can be seen that China has a long business atmosphere. Coca-Cola in China, should be based on long-term development, adhere to the channel, I believe that China can become Coca-Cola's second largest market in the world. ”
Li Lisheng said: "We will definitely implement this strategy well. ”
Chen Qiwei said: "Mr. Du Dafu, please rest assured!"
Chen Qiwei is a native of Hong Kong, but Li Lisheng is an American through and through. He was originally just an ordinary chemist in the Coca-Cola laboratory, but in 1977 he was assigned to go to Hong Kong City, and in 1978 he began to study the market in the mainland, and naturally became the president of Coca-Cola China.
These two people don't speak Mandarin very well.
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Mr. Du Dafu, Coca-Cola has a very powerful enemy in China. ”
Du Dafu said: "Pepsi is an old rival, we know it very well. ”
"I mean, very Coke," Mr. Song said, "and the market share in China reached 7.6 percent last month. ”
Dudafs seems to have known the news for a long time, saying: "There is only one kind of Coke in the world, and that is Coca-Cola! Young man, you are a Chinese college student, what kind of cola do you like to drink?"
"Yes, of course...... Very cola. Song Weiyang said with a smile.
Li Lisheng and Chen Qiwei were very unhappy, thinking that this college student was too ignorant and simply came to raise the bar.
Du Dafu was not angry, but asked with interest: "Why don't you choose Coca-Cola?"
Song Weiyang said: "Support domestic production." ”
Du Dafu laughed: "Respectable patriot. ”
Song Weiyang said: "I think it is time for Coca-Cola's global strategy to adjust. Since the 60s, Pepsi has been playing the 'young' card and invited countless pop superstars to endorse it. A few years ago, they even brought in Michael Jackson to make PepsiCo's global share skyrocket. Generations of young people have become loyal customers of Pepsi, and Coca-Cola's position has been precarious for decades. ”
Du Dafu said: "Do you know a lot about the competition in the cola industry, are you interested in joining Coca-Cola after graduation?"
"Thank you for having me. Song Weiyang smiled.
Li Lisheng and Chen Qiwei finally understood that this college student was not raising the bar, but wanted to perform in front of the president of the Asia-Pacific region.
As the group continued to visit the museum, Song Weiyang chatted with Du Dafu about business marketing and then business management, and both of them agreed with the emerging ERP model.
Song Weiyang said: "With the development of computer and Internet technology, the future of enterprise management will be more refined and accurate. Material resources, human resources, financial resources, and information resources will form a whole, and integrated management will be realized through computer software. A set of computer software will do it, just like a point-and-shoot camera, you don't need to adjust the focus, just press it. This analogy, while not exact, is graphic enough. ”
"As a Chinese, you are very forward-looking!" Du Dafu was quite surprised, "ERP management model has only emerged in the United States for a few years, and less than 1% of American companies use it. Coca-Cola is also trying, but the results are not too ideal, and computer and Internet technology should continue to develop. ”
The more the two chatted, Song Weiyang made various side knocks, guessing the details from the other party's words, and to put it bluntly, he was inquiring about the news.
The president and vice president of Coca-Cola China were already confused, they understood it at first, but gradually they couldn't even understand the technical terms.
In the end, Du Dafu didn't even visit the cultural relics, but exchanged management experience with Song Weiyang, and Li Lisheng and Chen Qiwei completely became foils.
After the visit, Du Dafu went to the fifth floor of the museum and invited Du Weishan, the son of Du Yuesheng, to dinner.
Du Weishan also understands English, he has settled in Australia, Wanwan and the United States, and is super good at chatting at the dinner table. From ancient coins to the Republic of China, he talked about a lot of interesting facts about Coca-Cola in China at that time, and then talked about World War II, the Great Voyage and the history and geography of Australia - Du Weishan studied geology in Australia.
Du Dafu is Australian, and he had a very happy chat.
Li Lisheng and Chen Qiwei glanced at each other, and they couldn't interject at all. On the contrary, Song Weiyang can talk about anything, can pick up any topic, and is simply a natural communicator.
"Hah!"
"Chinese liquor is really intoxicating," Du Dafu took a sip, as if he was in a hurry, and took out his business card to Song Weiyang, "Young man, you are very promising." If you want, Coca-Cola will sponsor you to study in the United States, without any test scores, and directly enter a prestigious American university. In exchange, you will have to work for Coca-Cola after you graduate. ”
Du Weishan smiled and said, "Congratulations." ”
Song Weiyang also said with a smile: "I'm used to being free and easy, and I don't like to be restrained." ”
Du Weishan was a little surprised, now Chinese are dreaming of going abroad, and this college student in front of him is very interesting.
"Of course, you can also choose by yourself, Coca-Cola is always welcome. Even I want to hire you as my assistant, you have this talent, you are a natural manager. ”
"A lot of people say that. Song Weiyang said with a smile.
Li Lisheng suddenly spoke: "It's better to be like this, this classmate is still in college, and he can come to Coca-Cola's Chinese company for an internship first." ”
"I'm sorry. Song Weiyang said.
Chen Qiwei asked, "Why don't you want to join Coca-Cola?"
Song Weiyang said: "Because I am the boss of very Coke." ”
"Digger?"
Du Dafu, Li Lisheng and Chen Qiwei were dumbfounded at the same time, thinking that they had misheard.
Li Lisheng pointed at Song Weiyang and confirmed: "You said that you are the boss of very Coke, and then translate for Mr. Du Dafu?"
Song Weiyang shrugged: "No way, I'm still a student and received a volunteer task." ”
Wow, this forced pretending is so cool, and Song Weiyang's bad taste is greatly satisfied.
Of course, Song Weiyang is not all about pretending, he learned a lot of management details about Coca-Cola from Du Dafu's words, which cannot be learned in books.
"Hahahaha!"
Du Weishan couldn't help laughing, thinking it was too funny. He stayed in the museum to do things, and was invited by foreigners to dinner, and then he actually enjoyed a good show, and immediately raised his glass and said: "Brother Song, come, let's go!"
"Don't dare to be, Mr. Du, please feel free. Song Weiyang raised his glass and drank it, and stuffed the foreigner's business card into his pocket.
When the three presidents of Coca-Cola were gone, Du Weishan said, "Xiao Song, are you interested in selling very Coke?"
Song Weiyang asked, "Does the old gentleman have a way?"
"I can get you in touch. Du Weishan said.
Du Weishan is the son of Du Yuesheng and has inherited a lot of inheritance, his father-in-law is a wealthy businessman in Lao Sheng Beach, and he himself is also in business. He donated more than 2,000 ancient coins to the museum, can he have no money? Now that he is old, he doesn't care about the company's affairs, so he spends his days in the museum as a special consultant.
"Then I'll thank you in advance!" Song Weiyang said happily.
Du Weishan wrote a phone number and address, handed it to Song Weiyang and said: "Find this person, he specializes in food and beverage agency business in Wanwan. ”
Song Weiyang said: "Thank you very much. ”
"You are very interesting and very good at chatting," Du Weishan said, "Come to the museum and talk to me as an old man." ”
