Chapter 129 Xinfei Project Team
On Monday, at 8:10 a.m., Xu Xincheng came to the office, walked to the big whiteboard, and changed the number of days counted down to "86". Changing the countdown days is the first thing he does when he arrives at the office.
The large whiteboard reads "Zhongmei Xinfei Company officially opened on October 10, with a countdown of 86 days", which is very eye-catching in the huge office.
He sat down in his office chair, opened his laptop, and scrutinized the project work lists he had made yesterday morning and evening, and after making some revisions and refinements, he printed out all the lists on A3 paper and pasted them one by one onto the glass wall next to the conference table.
This is the idea he came up with last night, and he believes that if he prints out the key documents and sticks them to the wall, there will be a strong sense of visibility and reality, which can greatly expand his thinking and ideas, help him better see the overall situation, work better, and better promote the progress of various projects.
In fact, he learned this from the American dramas he likes to watch, when the Pentagon chiefs are deploying battle plans, when the FBI is investigating big crimes, when Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and their partners are discussing big projects, they all like to print out documents and paste them on the wall, and in these scenes, there will always be a big whiteboard with all kinds of mind maps, management tool diagrams, etc.
He felt it was a good way to do it and should try it.
Half an hour later, Xu Xincheng looked at the various documents pasted on the small half wall, looked at the "list management chart" he had just drawn on the big whiteboard, and nodded with satisfaction.
This "list management chart" is an improvement on the Scrum project management chart, which is one of the most popular management tools for major high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.
However, according to the specific situation of the company and his own "list management method", he made corresponding improvements and made further refinements. This is called combining foreign advanced management methods with the specific reality of our own company to create a distinctive management method that conforms to the specific situation of the company.
He looked at the big whiteboard and said to himself: "From today on, this is my war room, this is my command post, and from today, the battle will officially begin." ”
Thinking of this, he felt excited, feeling like a general who had confidence in victory, and then it was time to roll up his sleeves and do a big job.
At nine o'clock, Xu Xincheng went to Amanda's office to discuss with her.

Last Wednesday morning, after Lucy sent an email to inform Xu Xin of the Xinfei project team that he had become the acting leader, he called a meeting at 10 o'clock, but because he had to answer the calls he had to answer from the heads of various partner companies throughout the morning, the meeting only lasted 15 minutes. That meeting can only be regarded as an icebreaker meeting for everyone to get to know each other.
At half past four o'clock in the afternoon last Thursday, all the calls that should have been answered were finally answered, and the calls that should have been made were finally finished. So, he held a formal meeting with all the members of the Xinfei project team.
At the meeting, he focused on understanding the roles and division of labor of each person, discussed the current situation and progress with everyone, and as for the next plan and arrangement, he said that he still needs time to think and plan again.

After three or four days of careful thinking and planning, he had almost thought about it, so he discussed with Amanda that he would have another meeting.
Originally, Xu Xincheng, as the acting person in charge, could directly notify everyone of the meeting, but after all, he had just taken over, and he also respected Amanda, so he would discuss with her first every time, and communicate with her his ideas and the main content of the meeting, as well as the main goals to be achieved.
Amanda is very supportive and has been working hard to help him with a smooth handover and manage the project team.
The Xinfei project team has a total of 21 people, all of whom are elites selected from various departments of New World Capital, and are divided into the coordination team, administrative leasing, finance team and engineering project team.
The members of the co-ordination team are Amanda, her assistant and secretary, who is responsible for the co-ordination and management of all matters. At Lucy's instructions, they will all quit the team and take full responsibility for the New World Capital Projects team. In other words, next, the coordination team is only Xu Xincheng. However, he believes that he is enough alone, and that coordination and organization have always been one of his strengths, and although the tasks are heavy and the challenges are great, he can fully cope with them.
The administrative team consists of 2 administrative supervisors, who are responsible for various administrative matters in the process of preparing for the establishment of the company, such as domestic and foreign industrial and commercial registration, trademark registration, etc., and the financial team is composed of 3 financial supervisors, who are responsible for financial matters such as fund management, cost budgeting, and capital allocation.
In the past four weeks, the preliminary administrative affairs and financial affairs that need to be handled for the establishment of the company have been basically completed, and the medium-term affairs are also being carried out in an orderly manner, according to his understanding in the past few days, the work of these two groups has been completed very well, and the five supervisors are all first-class industry elites, and he only needs to supervise and follow up their work.
The project team has 13 people, who are responsible for following up, supervising and managing various projects and projects related to Sino-US Xinfei in the industrial park, and 3 of them are project managers. The 13 of them worked hard, and from time to time they had to go to the site of the industrial park to discuss the specific project and project details with the design company and the decoration company.
These days, he has a very deep feeling, that is, the employees hired by New World Capital are all elites, coupled with the good management of Lucy and Amanda, all the affairs of the company are in good order, and everyone is in a good working state and mentality, and the work efficiency is very high.
Xu Xincheng proposed to Amanda that today's meeting be held in his office instead of the company's multipurpose conference room.
It was a little idea of his. Meetings in his office help to establish his authority, because it is his place, his territory, where he is like a host, and others are like guests to his house.
Amanda immediately understood what he meant, and immediately laughed and said it was a good idea.
He is now facing a big question, whether he is a new official or a newcomer who has just come to work here, although Lucy has been appointed, but he knows very well that in order to establish his prestige and leadership position in the team, a letter of authorization alone is not enough, he must win everyone's respect for him through his actions, efforts and performance, and win everyone's recognition of his leadership position, he must become a veritable team leader.
