Guan Fei returned to the office of Taiyu Technology, and before he could sit down and take a breath, he received a call from the reception on the first floor, saying that Xinhua News Agency had come to visit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he arrived, the other party followed with his back foot, obviously very concerned about his whereabouts, and maybe he would follow him from the airport.

The Hong Kong branch is not just a newspaper, but is essentially a semi-official organization in Hong Kong.

After the liberation, the former Nationalist Government closed its offices in Hong Kong on its own, announcing the end of the official status of the Nationalist Government in Hong Kong. Since then, the British authorities in Hong Kong have resolutely refused to allow the mainland to set up official institutions in Hong Kong because they are afraid that the mainland, which is more powerful than the national government, will use the form of official institutions to form a second center of power and actually seize control of Hong Kong.

The British authorities in Hong Kong induced the mainland to set up a consulate general in Hong Kong in order to create the essence of the mainland's recognition of Hong Kong's colonial status.

However, it is impossible for the two sides to die without contact, and the mainland also needs Hong Kong to become a window to the world. After consideration, the high-level officials set up a branch office in Hong Kong with the help of the Xinhua News Agency, which in fact became a semi-official organ of the mainland in Hong Kong in the name of the Office of the Executive Affairs of a news organization.

The Hong Kong branch is so eager to visit, there must be something important to communicate with Guan Fei.

"I'll come down now!"

Guan Fei informed the reception on the first floor to entertain well, and he took Zhou Xiaoshan, Pan Meifeng, Mao Xiuliang and other company executives to quickly take the elevator downstairs to greet him.

In order to further enhance the company's image in front of cooperative customers and dealers, the headquarters building has been renovated.

The first floor, which had been used as a workshop, was vacated, and all workers and equipment were moved to a new building not far away. After the load-bearing walls and load-bearing columns of the building were reinforced, the walls of other functional areas were replaced by floor-to-ceiling glass, which were spotlessly wiped with the efforts of the cleaners. The walls were scraped smooth and flat with plaster and plastered with new wallpaper; The roof of the building has been treated with a suspended ceiling, and five large pendants are installed in the middle of the square geometric pattern formed by five groups of light bulbs, with a circle of spotlights against the wall, which reflects the jewel-like luster after the refraction of the crimson marble floor, shining brightly, and the whole hall is magnificent.

In order to avoid the hall being too empty, and at the same time to facilitate the meeting of visitors and employees, a 100-meter-long and 40-meter-wide half-foot-high wooden platform was built around the hall, lined with goose-yellow solid wood flooring.

At the entrance of the wooden platform, a three-meter-high rockery stands horizontally, spreading horizontally like a screen, blocking the view from the outside. The holes on the mountain are filled with soil, specially cultivated strange trees and potted plants are planted, and there are a few strong pines stretched between the cliffs, and the whole rockery is lush and green, just like a real mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a clearing of more than one meter, full of tiny green grass, like a plain. There are also doll models such as houses, farmland, chickens and dogs, looms, farmers and weavers, etc., just like a quiet farmhouse.

Under the action of water pressure, a small spring flows out from the top of the mountain, and at the top of the mountain, the mountainside, and the foot of the mountain each converge into several bowl-sized pools, like a mountain lake. The water flows to the base of the mountain, pouring down from a straight mountain wall, like a waterfall, gathering in a basin-sized pool in the low plains at the foot of the mountain.

The water poured from above, overflowing the pool and flowing into a canal.

The canal is twisted and curved, the wide place is one or two meters wide, and the narrow place is about forty or fifty centimeters, zigzag back and forth, circle around, surround the wooden platform, and finally return to the pool behind the rockery, or a huge lake, the pumping machine under the waterline will pump up the water again, send it to the top of the mountain, and the cycle repeats, forming a living water.

The canal is filled with thumb-sized pebbles of various colors, including aquatic plants, fine sand, coral, and shells, and is stocked with small fish, shrimp, and crabs.

A small wooden antique arch bridge is erected from this end of the canal to the opposite wooden platform.

In the wooden platform, it is divided into more than a dozen parts by the stainless steel railing and half-human height ornamental plants that have been artistically modeled. The outermost area is a long strip on both sides of the central staircase, where benches and wooden tables are treated with varnish and retain the original wooden texture, and are used as public resting places.

The interior of the long strip of rest area, separated by three layers of ornamental plants and wooden lattice climbing vines connected to the roof, is connected by a sidewalkway to two large special private rooms, and the interior decoration is very ingenious and more private, serving as a temporary reception place for a small number of important customers.

The various grades of coffee, tea, ice drinks, pastries, etc. prepared at the reception are handmade by professional bartenders, baristas, and pastry chefs, and the quality is not inferior to the high-end leisure places outside.

In the rest area, the speakers are hidden in the depths of ornamental plants and climbing vine leaves, and different music can be played in different areas according to different needs through the reception console.

Generally speaking, if you don't want to receive customers in the office, you can simply talk in the reception area without going outside to find a place. Moreover, the environment here is elegant, the quality of things is trustworthy, and the style is not bad at all, which can be regarded as a way to save reception expenses.

Guan Fei and the others came out of the special elevator, and a reception lady wearing a white shirt and short skirt, a short blue suit, and a purple light gauze around her neckline greeted her, holding the fingers of her left hand lightly with her right hand, bowing and bowing, and said in a low voice: "Chairman, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Mao, Mr. Pan, several guests are arranged in the first hall of Xiazhu, please come with me." ”

Mandarin characters are straight and round, with only a slight soft accent from Taiwan.

Serving people's bowls and eating people's meals, Guan Fei's requirement that Mandarin must be used as the working language has been implemented very well in the company.

Hong Kong people already have a certain foundation in Putonghua, and in the early 20th century, they were taught in various Chinese schools, and there were special Chinese courses, and schools run by non-Cantonese speakers taught entirely in Putonghua.

After the defeat of Taiwan, a large number of mainlanders poured in, and the language of Hong Kong became more complicated, with Cantonese, Shanghainese, Mandarin, and Fujian and Zhejiang dialects mixed, each with a certain scope of application. Therefore, in order to make everyone understand, radio, television, and movies are all dubbed in Mandarin, even if some local elderly people can't speak, they can definitely understand it.

The reason why Cantonese has become mainstream in Hong Kong is the result of the forced promotion by the British authorities in Hong Kong.

In the 50s, when the checkpoint was set up in Lo Wu, the British authorities in Hong Kong took advantage of the isolation of Hong Kong from the mainland to lower the status of Chinese language teaching, stipulating that primary schools must adopt Cantonese teaching, and teachers who did not pass the Cantonese examination could not obtain teaching qualifications. In the sixties, Chinese courses were abolished, and then all schools, including private schools, were directly prevented from teaching Chinese, and non-Cantonese dialect radio and television were banned and Cantonese was forcibly promoted.

However, even so, at present, film companies are still insisting on adopting Chinese dubbing, and movies have become the last position that continues to affect Hong Kong's language environment.

The locals have more or less some basic knowledge of Mandarin, and apart from the difference in tone, there is no difference between Cantonese and Mandarin in terms of language expression. Under the company's mandatory requirements, employees initially spoke a little stumbling, but quickly adapted to it, especially some young people, after a period of practice, Mandarin is more standard than many mainlanders.

It's just that most of the objects they study are movies and radio programs in Taiwan, which inevitably bring the soft intonation characteristics there, and the pronunciation of individual words is also different from that of the mainland.

With the emergence and growth of companies such as Taiyu Technology and New Era, under the influence of military division companies, various affiliated companies have also begun to promote Mandarin within a certain range in order to meet their preferences and facilitate communication. In particular, the business personnel, technical personnel, and senior management of each affiliated company use Mandarin as one of the main working languages.

The British authorities in Hong Kong are naturally dissatisfied, but this is people's "company culture" and it is a work need. In order to connect with customers and communicate normally, it is understandable for people to learn Mandarin. It can't be said that British companies are allowed to force their employees to speak English, but Chinese companies can't speak Mandarin. If they really do this, they don't even need a fig leaf, which is tantamount to completely tearing their faces with the mainland, and they don't have the courage yet.

"Okay, thanks." Guan Fei said politely.

The renovated reception hall has a new look, with soft and bright ceiling lights, marble floors that reflect and reveal sparkling light, goose-yellow wooden platforms, bright silver railings, green potted plants, miscellaneous flowers, and guzheng music floating from nowhere, making the hall appear rich and gorgeous, but also elegant and strange.

Crossing the small bridge and going up to the wooden platform, Guan Fei smiled slightly, and saw several pairs of employees who were talking about business, with coffee and tea cups on both sides, and they were fighting for red faces. There are also several employees in suits, scattered in several positions in the public rest area, sitting in pairs around the wooden table, talking and laughing lightly, looking happy.

As long as it is not a matter of principle, he has no intention of interfering.

Taiyu Technology is managed by Zhou Xiaoshan, since he didn't say anything, he naturally said that these employees did not violate the company's regulations. There is no need for him to cross the company's original management and ask and reprimand the employees below, which will have a negative impact on Zhou Xiaoshan's image in front of the employees.

Everyone has their own management style, as long as he does his job well and performs well, how to manage the company is his freedom.

In this era, European and American companies advocate family management, the company has a coffee room, a game room, employees can go to the coffee room at any time after completing their work, chat with colleagues easily, play two games of billiards, the company atmosphere is very relaxed and warm, the internal cohesion is very cohesive, rarely job-hopping. It is not only Japan that practices lifelong employment, but most employees of European and American companies also follow the practice of serving the same company, from employment to retirement, in the same company, for them, the company is equivalent to the family, and sometimes more important than the family.

When it comes to dedication, these employees in the sixties and seventies are no worse than Japan. In order to catch up with orders, free overtime is not uncommon, the company is prosperous and employees are happy, and the company's business difficulties are worrying about employees, and they have made suggestions and made every effort to do their best for the company, which can be said to be truly breathing with the company and sharing the same fate.

After the 80s, the competition became increasingly fierce, the company closed down frequently, and the time to maintain normal operation became shorter and shorter, and employees had to consider the next employment direction as soon as possible, and job hopping began to become more and more frequent, and finally became the norm.

The warm family management model has been replaced by a more ruthless performance appraisal and a management model that does not complete the achievement, and the company has gradually become a cold squeezing tool.
