Chapter 306 [Liang Wenbo's Question]
When he was about to get off work that day, Mo Fan received a call from Liang Wenbo and invited him to participate in a small dinner party of an advertising company. After hearing this, Mo Fan said: "You can preside over it, I won't join in the fun." ”
Liang Wenbo said with some dissatisfaction: "Have you made up your mind to be behind the scenes?"
Mo Fan said: "What are you talking about? Be polite to the consultant, otherwise you won't be able to ask in the future." ”
Liang Wenbo said: "You still picked me up, as if this company belongs to me alone." I want you to meet these people left behind by the company, you have a unique vision, and maybe you can find something that I can't see. ”
Mo Fan said: "There is no need for this. If there is a big problem, you can definitely see it, and if there is a small problem, use the process and system to standardize. ”
Liang Wenbo said "um", and there was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, and he didn't know if he was thinking about the problem or dealing with something, and said, "You really don't come?"
Mo Fan said: "I really don't go." And I'm going to see your aunt at night, and I've already said it's done. ”
Liang Wenbo said: "Okay, I'll talk to you when I go back in the evening." ”
Hanging up the phone, Mo Fan pondered for a moment and realized that there were a few seemingly small but important issues that had been ignored, and he had to have a good chat with Liang Wenbo tonight.
After getting off work, Mo Fan took a taxi to the Liang Mansion. I got out of the car outside the gate, and just walked two steps to the door, only to hear a "click" sound, and the iron door opened. Walking inward, through the main building to the bamboo forest courtyard at the back, he met several family members of the Liang family on the way, and they all greeted him, but no one asked him who he was looking for or what he was doing, and it seemed that he didn't treat him as an outsider at all.
Approaching the small building, I heard the sound of the piano coming from inside, and there was a faint joy in the music. Mo Fan couldn't help but wonder, did she know that I was going to come to have such emotions?
When I arrived in the hall, I saw Lin Ruoxi playing the piano, and Lin's mother sat on the soft couch and looked at her daughter with a smile. Seeing Mo Fan, Mother Lin beckoned, and Mo Fan went over to sit next to her, and the two listened to Lin Ruoxi play the piano together.
Lin Ruoxi knew that Mo Fan was coming, but he didn't stop, but played this song for a long time. Mo Fan listened to her play the piano quietly with Mother Lin, only feeling extremely peaceful in his heart, and all the hustle and bustle of the outside world was outside the door.
At the end of the song, Lin Ruoxi stood up. Her feet were still a little inconvenient, so Mo Fan helped her over, and the two sat on both sides of Lin Mu.
Lin Mu looked left and right, with a satisfied smile on her face, and said, "You two are busy with work, so you don't need to come to see me from time to time." Her complexion was much better, no different from that of ordinary people, but her memory had not changed much, and after a while, she repeated her previous words. But the family knows that in her world, it is no longer static, and time is deducing.
After a while, dinner was served, and the three of them ate together. Lin Ruoxi sandwiched some vegetables for her mother and some for Mo Fan. Everyone didn't talk much, but there was warmth and peace everywhere.
After the meal, Mo Fan accompanied Mother Lin for a walk outside, gave her a head massage, and then sent her back to her room to rest. Now she doesn't fall asleep during the massage, which also shows that her spirit is really recovering well. As for the problem of amnesia, it is really beyond the reach of human resources, at least it is not getting worse now, which has made her family feel very relieved.
When she returned to the living room downstairs, she saw Lin Ruoxi sitting on a soft couch flipping through a book, so Mo Fan sat down next to her and said, "Your complexion is much better, it seems that you have recovered well." ”
Lin Ruoxi said "um", put the book next to him, and said, "In a few days, my feet will be fine." ”
Mo Fan said: "You don't have to be anxious, you can take care of your body thoroughly." I'm on the company's side, and I'll inform you of something important. ”
Lin Ruoxi nodded, and said, "You let Liang Wenbo go to the advertising company alone, aren't you afraid that he will have problems?"
Mo Fan said: "He's not a child anymore, as long as he's careful, it doesn't matter if there are some small problems." I'm not completely ignorant, there are things we'll talk about in the evening. ”
Lin Ruoxi said: "Don't do this for me. ”
Mo Fan said: "I am willing to do a lot of things for you, but this one is not. Liang Wenbo is first and foremost my friend, and I have a lot of confidence in him. He's doing a good job now, a lot of times it's going to be unexpectedly good. ”
Lin Ruoxi was silent for a while, gently held Mo Fan's hand, and said, "I am also willing to do a lot of things for you." ”
Mo Fan smiled and said, "You don't want to be like this because of your mother, first of all, she is Abo's aunt." ”
Lin Ruoxi knew that Mo Fan was joking with her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "It's just because of you." ”
Mo Fan looked at her and was a little stupid. He knew what she meant, and because he liked her to laugh, she let go of all her restraints when she was with him and laughed at him.
Thinking back to the past acquaintance with Lin Ruoxi, Mo Fan suddenly realized that in fact, he already liked Lin Ruoxi before he knew it. He thought that after experiencing that dream, he had become very mature and very personable in front of women. But in fact, many of his actions in front of Lin Ruoxi are no different from the psychology of a hairy boy who has never been in love and wants to show in front of his beloved girl. What she said and did was nothing more than trying to get her attention.
Lin Ruoxi showed a faint shyness on his face and said, "I like you looking at me like this." ”
Mo Fan smiled and said, "I like to look at you all the time." ”
……
……
When Mo Fan returned to his residence, it was just after nine o'clock, but Liang Wenbo had already returned, which surprised him a little and asked, "The party you did ended so early?"
Liang Wenbo said: "It's just that everyone has a meal together, Xiao He, after all, it's not a weekend." What activities they do after dinner is their business. ”
Mo Fan smiled and said, "Are you out of the public?"
Liang Wenbo said: "I want to integrate into the public, but now it's different." ”
Mo Fan nodded and said, "It's different." Shall we have two drinks?"
Liang Wenbo smiled: "Okay, it's rare that you are interested." ”
The two sat down in the restaurant, and Liang Wenbo poured two glasses of whiskey and added a few ice cubes to it. Mo Fan saw that there were still some pistachios, so he opened a bag and put it on a plate and placed it on the table. The two clinked glasses and took a sip each, and then Mo Fan said: "Do you think that colleagues who used to have a good relationship with each other seem to be a little estranged now?"
Liang Wenbo said: "But isn't it, it makes me seem like a person who likes to play music." ”
Mo Fan said with a smile: "The former colleague has become the current boss, although this person himself has not changed much, but in the minds of the company's employees, it is very different." This is not to say that being a boss makes you superior, but mainly because of the different positions and the changes in positions. Although the status of the employer and the employee is equal, there is still a subordinate relationship in the work. At least in the advertising agency, you're their leader, and you expect people to treat you like they used to? ”
Liang Wenbo thought for a while and asked, "You are in Haitian Science and Trade, from a small sales person to a general manager, is there a similar situation?"
Mo Fan said, "Of course. ”
Liang Wenbo said: "You can be counted, you are still a part-time worker, but you are just a little more advanced, how can you be out of the public? You should have the same position as the majority of employees." ”
Mo Fan said: "The division of management levels comes from the authorization of the boss, which is an extension of the employment relationship. So most of the time, employees at the same level are a group with the same position, and they will naturally reject non-group members. This exclusion is not confrontation or non-cooperation at work, but more often in non-work situations. For example, a colleague who used to work with me in sales, no matter how good the relationship is, will not get along with me as much as before. Even if I invite them to dinner after work, of course they will give face, but they will not let go. ”
Liang Wenbo nodded and said, "This is the situation I am encountering now. I also thought that I could hire you as the boss behind the scenes, so that I could easily mingle with everyone. Hearing you say that, it still doesn't work. ”
Mo Fan said: "This truth is actually very simple, you should figure it out in minutes, but now it's a bit of a bull's horn." In my opinion, the biggest problem for advertising agencies right now is not someone else, but you. ”
"Me?" Liang Wenbo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "I have a problem." Alas, I don't seem to be the material for running a company at all. ”
Mo Fan smiled: "It's not that serious, come on, drink!" raised his glass and touched Liang Wenbo, and after taking a sip of wine, he asked, "This wine is not much, right?"
Liang Wenbo said: "There are more than a dozen bottles." After drinking this, I can't even swallow any other whiskey. I'll have to talk to Sister Yanqiu in a few days and get me some more. ”
Mo Fan said, "Look, that's your problem. ”
Liang Wenbo was surprised: "I like to drink this wine, is it also a problem?"
Mo Fan shook his head and said, "I don't mean this. You are a talented painter, and you have been living in a privileged environment since you were a child, which makes you always like to strive for a kind of perfection. Of course, you want perfection in your mind, not theory. It's okay to live with this attitude, but it's not okay to use it for work and running a company. ”
Liang Wenbo pondered and said to himself: "Do I have it? ”
Mo Fan said: "There were a lot of problems in the operation of the mythical advertising company, and this fell into our hands. But the one that struck you the most was the plagiarism of ideas, although that wasn't the biggest problem. ”
Liang Wenbo said: "That's right, because I experienced it personally. ”
Mo Fan said: "You want me to participate in the company party today, on the one hand, you want to establish a common position with the employees, get closer to them, and find people who can be trusted and reused. On the other hand, you also want me to help you exclude some people with anti-bone potential, right?"
Liang Wenbo said: "Yes, shouldn't it?"
Mo Fan said: "A series of things such as the company's handover and handover, at the beginning I asked you to run, because you had never been exposed to these, and there was no one to use it." As the top executive of the company, you don't have to do these things, but you need to know what's going on. But now it's been more than a week, and you're still running alone, because you don't trust any of them at all. Now there are less than 30 people left in the company, and if you do this way, I'm afraid that everyone will be gone in the end. ”
Liang Wenbo pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "You're right. But the foundation of our survival now is creativity. If ideas are stolen again, how will the company continue to operate?"
Mo Fan said: "Even if it is stolen a few more times, we can afford it." The key is whether we can really solve this problem from these few losses. Relying on your guess, or someone's denunciation, is absolutely not okay. You have to figure out how to do it in terms of systems and processes. Haitian Technology & Trade has to compete for several projects every month, which involve many trade secrets, but they are never leaked. Do you think it's because everyone involved in the work is very loyal to the company? This is the result of many factors, such as systems, processes, interests, risks, and national laws and regulations. ”
Liang Wenbo said: "I understand. Then I knew what to do. ”
Mo Fan said: "In addition, you have to pay attention to the fact that you can't be too picky in employing people." When you make friends, you focus on having a similar temperament. The company employs people, focusing on personal ability, some inconsequential small problems, as long as it does not affect the work, you have to endure it. You now have to look at these employees from the boss's point of view, and the ones who can create value for you are good employees. Do you take care of people's houses, wash your first clothes every few days, and change your clothes every few months? ”
Liang Wenbo said with a smile: "Could it be that there is such a person in Haitian Science and Trade? Lin Ruoxi can stand it?"
Mo Fan thought for a while, there should be people who haven't taken a bath for several days, and there really aren't people who haven't changed their clothes for a few months. He said, "I'm just going to give you an example." ”
Liang Wenbo said: "Then you should give an example." ”
Mo Fan said: "The manager of Haitian Science and Trade Management Logistics often takes advantage of his position. Lin Ruoxi and I both knew about this, but we didn't deal with him. Because he only took a small advantage, and it was not excessive. In that position, he did a good job, and he was given a little more bonus every month. ”
Liang Wenbo said: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, I understand this truth." It's just that after knowing this kind of thing, I feel very uncomfortable. ”
Mo Fan said: "If you are uncomfortable, overcome it, no one is perfect." ”
Liang Wenbo said: "People make the best use of their talents and make the best use of things, which is easy to say but not easy to do." I can learn to do the system process or something, and gradually improve it in combination with the actual development of the company. But now the rest of the company has to get them moving as soon as possible. Do you have any good ideas? Why don't you meet them one by one?"
Most of the more than 20 people left behind by the mythical advertising company are relatively young. After the company changed hands, it started again, mostly because I wanted to work hard with Liang Wenbo, the new boss. However, there may not be any indiscriminate filling, or there is still some potential that has not been explored. How to use these people well, of course, is a very important question.
But Mo Fan didn't want to intervene directly. He thought of someone and said, "I can introduce you to a teacher, but whether people are willing to teach you depends on your ability." ”
