Chapter 175: A Productive Day
On Monday, at 8:05 a.m., as soon as Xu Xincheng arrived at the office, he came to the big whiteboard, changed the countdown number to 79 days, and then turned around, walked briskly to the desk, and sat down in the office chair.
There is so much work to be done today that he needs to get to work right away.
He immediately turned on his computer and got to work.
Three minutes later, he wrote the first email, sending the revision opinions and requirements of the VI system and LOGO, as well as the design source file of the "Xinfei LOGO Final Plan Reference" modified by Lucy himself, to the head of the design company, Chief Designer Liao, and asked him to have a video conference at 9:10 in the email to discuss and confirm all the details.
Second, the five design plans for Building 2 of the New Era Building.
Yesterday, on the plane, Lucy made the final instructions on the five plans, gave the final revisions and suggestions, and directly made changes to some of them, in short, the design of most places is now short of the final fine-tuning and repair.
Last night, when the plane arrived at Guangzhou Airport, it was about ten o'clock, and when he returned home, it was already more than eleven o'clock, in order to avoid his own omission, while his memory was not blurred, as soon as he got home, he summarized and sorted out all Lucy's revisions and suggestions, and wrote an email, and saved the email in the draft box.
He opened the draft emails one by one, checked them one by one, and made a few changes to the wording, and when he was done, he sent them out.
Thirdly, Lucy also gave opinions and suggestions on the design of the general manager's office and the staff offices of all departments in the New Era Building, and according to the final results of his discussion with Lucy, these places will solicit the opinions and suggestions of General Manager Li and the directors of each department, and then make a final decision.
First, to respect everyone's opinions, and secondly, maybe they would have better suggestions and ideas, for which they also decided to implement a DIY plan for a leisure area.
For these projects, he had to hold a meeting with General Manager Li, Director Zhang, Director Wang and other department heads to discuss. He set up a WeChat group, pulled everyone in, @δΊζζδΊΊ, and informed them that the meeting would start at 14:30 in the afternoon, and the venue was the second conference room of the AI division. He would go to them in person in the afternoon to discuss with them, which was the most efficient way to communicate.
When I received the confirmation reply from General Manager Li and others, it was already 9:08. Next, there was a meeting with Chief Designer Liao and his design team at the graphic design company.
The meeting lasted only ten minutes, and Chief Designer Liao said that they had fully understood what he meant, and promised to produce five first drafts for him to approve before half past ten, and then strive to confirm the final draft before leaving work today. Finally, they also emphasized that they liked the improved logo very much, and felt that the changes were simply a stroke of genius.
At 10:20, Chief Designer Liao sent him the revised five design plans.
Xu Xincheng was very satisfied with them, especially the third plan inside.
He immediately took his laptop into Lucy's office and showed her the five options, and as he did yesterday, Lucy brought a piece of paper, wrote on it, and asked him which one he liked best.
Without thinking, he said, "The third." β
Lucy smiled and unfolded the paper to him, which read "No. 3".
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Xu Xincheng really likes this feeling of high consistency of values and aesthetics, and a high degree of unity of concepts and thoughts between him and Lucy, which is an indescribable feeling of heart.
He immediately returned to the office and called Chief Designer Liao, saying that their final plan was the third, and told him to come up with a full set of design plans before two o'clock this afternoon, including business cards, badges, cups, pens, letterheads, notebooks, staff uniforms, body image, product packaging, etc.
Chief Designer Liao sighed: "Your efficiency is too high. Okay, let's do it right away and make sure it's all done by 2 o'clock. β
He adds, "As a graphic designer with 17 years of experience, I think the final proposal that you proposed and determined was really good, one of the best in so many years, and my favorite design."
As Party B, as a design company, what we are most afraid of is Party A who is always undecided, and we are even more afraid of Party A, who is unprofessional but likes to give opinions and suggestions blindly, and likes to command blindly.
It is the first time we have encountered a Party A like yours who is both professional and can make up his mind so quickly. It's been a real pleasure working with you!"
At 10:45, Xu Xincheng and all members of the Xinfei project team had a meeting. The first draft of the VI system and logo that has just been confirmed was announced, and a number of matters were determined after consultation with everyone, among which the two most important matters are:
First, all the projects in the first phase of the plan, all the design plans must be finalized before the end of work this Friday.
Second, the renovation plans and renovation budgets for these projects must be finalized before the end of work on the following Friday.
It is one of the most important financial policies of the company to implement the budget first and implement it in strict accordance with the budget. Previously, all the renovation budgets had not been finalized because the design and decoration plans of all projects had not been finalized.
As long as the renovation budget can be finalized next Friday, the construction and renovation can start from next week, so that the progress of the project will be about ten days faster than the original plan.
Xu Xincheng is very satisfied with his work efficiency this morning, his work should be so efficient, and he must strive to have such a high efficiency every day.
The question is, how can you make sure that you work so efficiently every week, every day?
He suddenly remembered that yesterday morning, yesterday morning, the reason why he was able to successfully achieve the goal of running around the West Lake in 60 minutes was actually due to the application of methods such as refinement of goals and node management, which he had also applied to his work from time to time. Yesterday, however, he had the deepest understanding of their role and a deeper understanding of their use.
Yes, these days, you have to think about it and apply it better to your work.
