Section XXIX

2018 is definitely a memorable year for China's private enterprises, this year a number of listed companies with a market value of 10 billion yuan have defaulted on debt obligations on a large scale, more than 4000 P2P platforms that have had unlimited scenery have thundered, and entity enterprises have closed down, Wang Jianlin, who once regarded earning 100 million as a "small goal", was exposed to a debt of 400 billion, from China's richest man to China's first loser, Jiang Yueting went abroad, and "LeTV" entered the list of dishonesty. Whether it is the wealthy, the middle class or the entrepreneur with dreams, 2018 has become a nightmare for the vast majority of investors, and the business is in a depression: factories are closing, shops are closing, the virtual economy is a bubble, the real economy is a burden, product profits are getting thinner and thinner, and the squeeze is getting more and more serious, companies complain that they can't recruit people, people complain that they can't find good jobs, the circulation of goods is getting slower and slower, and the currency is soaring in the sky... In the downward economic environment, He Sicheng's Jieli Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. has not been able to stand alone.

Jieli Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in investing in entity enterprises, in the face of the entity enterprises in recent years, although the company is struggling, but with the efforts of the entire management team to the end of 2017, the company is still profitable. However, since the beginning of 2018, there have been too many difficulties in the company's operation, economic disputes continue to appear, litigation cases are increasing day by day, operating cash flow has begun to shortage, and even normal salary payment has become a problem. Now that such an incident has happened, which will more or less adversely affect the company, He Sicheng feels guilty, and he just wants to return to work as soon as possible and do his best to overcome the problems in the company's operation.

At half past nine in the morning, the company's executives were already sitting in the conference room. He Sicheng looked a little unnatural sitting on the chair he usually sat on, and he secretly observed the expressions of the executives looking at him, and always felt that there was something abnormal. Wang Dong began to preside over the meeting, the leaders in charge of each line reported their business situation, but also put forward the difficulties and problems that the company urgently needs to solve, He Sicheng listened carefully, carefully recorded in the notebook, only felt that the more he listened, the heavier the mood, and the overall feeling was that there was no good news reported by the executives. After listening to the report, Wang Dong began to give work instructions, and the next thing to implement the instructions was He Sicheng. He Sicheng followed the instructions of Wang Dong to arrange the work of the executives, and the pressure of business forced him to let go of the psychological barrier of being detained, and began to play the role of his general manager and perform his duties as general manager. He Sicheng made an analysis of the company's current difficulties, encouraged the executives to show their passion to drive employees to overcome difficulties, and shared with you a paragraph he saw on the Internet a long time ago, the author of this paragraph has intentionally collected the judgment of economic experts on China's economic situation, put together, some meaning:

Since 2007, we have been judging that next year will be the worst year for the economy:

"2008 was the most difficult year for China's economy";

"2009 will be the most difficult year for China's economy";

"2010 was the most difficult year for China's economy";

"2011 was the most difficult and complicated year for China's economy";

"2012 may be the most difficult but also the most promising";

"2013 may be the most difficult year for China";

"2014 will be the most difficult year";

"2015 was the most difficult year for China's economic operation";

"2016 may be the most difficult year, everyone must be prepared to live a hard life";

"2017 has entered a year when it is difficult to make money doing anything"

He Sicheng said: "Now that the first half of 2018 has passed, I believe everyone must have this feeling, this year is indeed not good, we should be able to feel: 2018 seems to be worse than 2017...... But in the past few years, with the efforts of you, the company has also survived, and now the work is indeed not easy to carry out, but what are the shareholders asking us to do?

He Sicheng said it impassionedly, but he knew in his heart that the bleak economic environment had caused the company to face unprecedented difficulties, and whether the situation would improve? When would it get better? He had no bottom in his heart, and neither did Wang Dong's heart! But as a general manager, no matter how difficult it was, he had to show full confidence in front of the employees! This position does not allow you to be cowardly and pessimistic. At home, He Sicheng never talked to his family about work, he was afraid that the pressure would be transferred to his family, which would only increase his family's troubles! He Sicheng has always felt that people's middle-aged and traditional Chinese medicine have too many similarities: first, they are very bitter, second, they all have to be boiled, and third, they have to be useful, and finally after the Chinese medicine is boiled, it becomes medicine residue, and after the middle-aged is boiled, it becomes an old man, which is useless! The roles of the general manager and his husband make him have to look strong and have to learn to decompress himself. The way to decompress is also very simple, maybe it is a glass of wine at a dinner with friends, maybe a cigarette when you are sleepless late at night, or maybe it is a period of time when you drive home from work and sit silently in the car at the door of your home!

Wang Dong made a final summary, ended the meeting, and the executives dispersed. Wang Dong left He Sicheng in the conference room, He Sicheng handed Wang Dong a cigarette and helped him light it, Wang Dong said to He Sicheng: "Mr. He, I see that your spirit is still not very good, presumably because the ideological pressure is still very great, since the dark days have passed, you have to learn to let go, sometimes it's not a big deal to think about it, just learn from the lessons, don't step on those things again." I don't know if my colleagues know about you, but they don't care too much about it, so you try to be as natural as possible, get back to work as soon as possible, and share some of the pressure for me. In addition, how is the situation at home? Has your wife talked to you? Has the relationship been harmonious?" "Thank you Wang Dong for your tolerance, this lesson is very profound, and it has hit me hard, but things have come out of nowhere, I can only take it as a good thing, it has made me understand a lot of truths, fortunately, I have no physical and psychological reaction, I believe that I have the perseverance to resolutely stop stepping on those things, it is really not worth it, please believe me!" I will return to work as soon as possible, and I also know that the company has had a lot of trouble recently, and I have not been able to help but caused a mess, and I sincerely apologize to you! At home, it's okay, my wife didn't ignore me, but she didn't talk to me very much, it would be better to ease up for two days, she was heartbroken by me, and she had to take some time to relieve!" "The work at home should also be done well, no one is easy, your family is decent and traditional, too far away from the rivers and lakes, you will definitely not be able to accept them if you are detained for a while, be sincere and patient!" "Got it, Wang Dong!" "Tomorrow is the weekend, take the children and my wife out to play, I am going to go on a business trip on Monday, you have to worry more about the company's affairs." "Okay, you can go without worry, I will call you to communicate with you if there is anything." ”

He Sicheng was very grateful to Wang Dong for his tolerance and meticulousness, and thought that he could only be worthy of this tolerance if he worked hard. After the meeting, He Sicheng went around the various offices, he greeted the employees with a smile, in fact, he was still very nervous in his heart, but this face must be seen, just like knowing that taking medicine is very painful and injections are painful, but what should be borne must be endured!
