Chapter 369 Induction Training (Medium)
"Lao Gong, you can study at home with peace of mind, and leave the arduous task of the united front of the Taiwan compatriots to me, and I will definitely fulfill the great trust of the party and the country!" Liu Chang smiled and patted his roommate on the shoulder, took the newly bought sunhat and went out!
Liu Chang made an appointment with his new colleagues from Tai-Wan in the next few bedrooms, and everyone went to Ocean Park together. Gong Zhiqiang was one of the 98 members who failed the exam, so he could only stay in the dormitory and look through the materials sent during the previous class, preparing to cope with the make-up exam at night.
In the conference room of the headquarters of the Oriental Group, Cheng Yuanqing organized his subordinates to divide 500 new employees into groups, each group of 20 people, divided into 25 groups. The general principle of this grouping is to break regional restrictions and mix staff from Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland.
Early the next morning, all the new staff gathered again in the auditorium, and the list of 25 groups had been assigned.
"The next project is team field development, and all of our 500 new colleagues have been randomly assigned to 25 groups from A to Y!
I hope that from you, we can see the excellent quality of unity and cooperation! Of course, as long as it is a competition, there will definitely be winners and losers! But I hope that every team, whether in the face of the joy of victory or the bitterness of defeat, can be united internally, do not abandon or give up!
A staff member who can't cooperate with his teammates, no matter how good your personal ability is, is not worth mentioning in my eyes! It's never been a one-man fight!" Cheng Yuanqing motioned to send the group list to everyone, and many well-intentioned people have already understood many meanings from his speech.
"The next five days. Today is the first day, and your main task is to get to know each other about the other members of the team, understand the strengths and weaknesses of each one, and then elect a captain and two vice-captains!
After that, the team leader and the team members work out a plan for tomorrow according to the actual situation of your team! Tomorrow's task is a 30-kilometer hike. Head to the designated location in Sai Kung West Country Park and set up camp!
This will be a very difficult challenge, so it is up to each team to anticipate the difficulties that may be encountered on the road and be well prepared! The next four days and three nights will be spent camping in the wilderness. Later, each team can receive 2,000 Hong Kong dollars for the purchase of various camping materials! Of course, tents and moisture-proof mats will be prepared by the company, but you need to think about them and items for yourself!" Cheng Yuanqing asked everyone to disband.
The first headache for every team. In fact, it is the verbal communication between the team members. For example, Liu Chang's H team. He is the only one from the mainland, with 9 colleagues from Taiwan and 10 from Hong Kong.
Only one of the 10 Hong Kong colleagues is fluent in Mandarin, while Liu Chang and 9 colleagues from Taiwan do not speak Cantonese. Liu Chang has lived in Hong Kong for a year and can barely understand some Cantonese.
This made communication between the 20 team members very cumbersome. The first option is to have a colleague who speaks both Cantonese and Mandarin act as an interpreter. The second is that everyone communicates in English, but not everyone can pass the test in English. The staff in Hong Kong are all good at English, for example, the University of Hong Kong uses English as the teacher. So for HKU graduates, English is as proficient as their native language.
CUHK graduates also need to have poor English proficiency. But many graduates attend bilingual schools in both Chinese and English as early as secondary school. In contrast, Liu Chang and several Taiwanese colleagues have much worse English skills. Their English is basically in a state of mute English, barely able to write, but their listening and speaking skills are much worse.
In the end, everyone came up with a way that was not the way to go, and simply communicated by handwriting. Except for Liu Chang, everyone else uses traditional Chinese characters. In fact, Liu Chang can basically recognize most traditional characters, but he writes simplified characters, many of which are unrecognizable to others, but he can translate them into traditional Chinese in Mandarin by colleagues in Taiwan.
So under the sharing of mouth and hand, Liu Chang's H group finally completed the mutual familiarization of the team members, and elected their own team leader and deputy team leader. The team leader is a Hong Kong colleague named Jiang Bin, who speaks Mandarin and can communicate smoothly with all team members. He also likes to hike and has a good understanding of Sai Kung West Country Park.
"We have made it clear to the teacher that we can leave tomorrow morning as early as 5:30 a.m. Each team will be accompanied by a professional outdoor trainer, but he will not help us unless there is a sudden accident!
We need to arrive at the camping site before 6 p.m.!There are no meals on the way, breakfast and lunch need to be solved by ourselves, but there will be a mineral water replenishment point in the middle, so we only need to bring the drinking water we need for half the way!" Jiang Bin gave feedback to the group members one by one what he learned from the instructor.
"Team Jiang, you have a lot of experience in camping and hiking, so it's up to you to make a list of all kinds of supplies you need, and then we'll all brainstorm together to see if there's anything else you need to add!" Liu Changti said.
He has participated in spring outings, autumn outings and other activities in China, but it is really the first time he has encountered such a tall sport as camping. However, Liu Chang has a relatively outgoing personality and will never deliberately avoid the side and dare not participate because he has no experience. He was not frightened at all, boldly took the initiative to communicate with others, and won himself a position as a deputy team leader.
There is a group leader who likes to hike and camp, which makes it much easier for the members of Group H than the other groups. After everyone decided what to buy, they made a subway together and went to the city to purchase.
In addition to common supplies such as kettles, backpacks, and flashlights, there are also many things on the list that Liu Chang heard for the first time, such as mosquito repellent water, survival posts, camp lamps, and headlamps. Considering that the Hong Kong sun in July is so poisonous, several girls in the team also strongly demanded to buy sun umbrellas and sunscreen.
Although the company will be equipped with a medical car to accompany him tomorrow, Liu Chang still built Jiang Bin, the captain of the company, to buy some anti-heatstroke medicine. In case a team member suffers from heat stroke tomorrow, they can solve it by themselves, and if the situation is not particularly strict, no one will want to quit halfway. (To be continued......)
