Chapter 158: CEO from SAAB
Lin Qiangsheng walked around his own territory, and the factory area was still empty, except for the security personnel recruited in the society, there was no formal employee.
After Lin Qiangsheng came back, he immediately established the leadership team and matched the personnel first. Chen Yanjun managed well during this time, and he was directly promoted to the Chinese executive manager of the factory. Lin Qiangsheng mobilized Lin Xiang to come over to help him and let her serve as the company's supervisor.
In the past year or so, the hardware factory of Hongqi Commune has developed a small reputation. Because Lin Qiangsheng went abroad, Lin Xiang and He Zhenguo had to pick up the burden of the factory after the factory was built, equipment installation, recruitment of workers, and invited experienced masters, and the hardware factory began to produce small hardware little by little.
Hardware production can not be sold, the two mobilized members to set up stalls to sell, and even personally carried the hardware to the city to sell, so little by little the hardware factory developed, to now Hongqi hardware factory has been famous, the factory's products have not even been produced in advance booked.
Therefore, Lin Xiang knew that her brother had left her a puddle of troubles again, and she was very angry, and complained to Lin Qiangsheng: "You left the matter behind, I won't do it this time!" The hardware factory is still too busy, how can I leave it there? ”
Lin Qiangsheng persuaded his sister and said: "Sister, you see that my company is so big, if you want me to find someone else, I don't feel at ease!" ”
Lin Xiang snorted and said, "I don't care, you can solve your own affairs by yourself!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "Sister, are you worried that He Zhenguo is alone in the countryside?" ”
"What do I have to worry about, the hardware factory has He Zhenguo managed it very well! Without you, the factory would still be running! Lin Xiang said hatefully, she was still a little angry about Lin Qiangsheng's overdue return.
Lin Qiangsheng explained: "Even if I stay, it's useless, what do I think of the Hongqi Commune inside?" The hardware factory said that it sounded good, and I helped build it. It doesn't have much to do with me! If I go inside and stir up, then the factory will be profitable, and the people of the commune will not gossip? ”
Lin Xiang thought about it for a while, and what her brother said was right, after the factory made a profit, there were more internal disputes, and even she was squeezed in the hardware factory. The current management of the hardware factory has a group of seven aunts and eight aunts of the commune cadres. Usually she listens to their gossip.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiang was also a little hesitant to continue working in Hongqi Hardware Factory, she asked Lin Qiangsheng: "Your factory is so big, can I do it well?" Also, what does this supervisor do? ”
Lin Qiangsheng said: "Supervision, in fact, is supervision and management. I hope that after you come to the factory, you will learn from their management experience and supervise the situation of the factory for me. ”
Lin Xiang thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Hi." What kind of supervisor is not supervised, isn't it just for me to look at people! ”
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "It's not that simple! The foreign general manager I invited will arrive soon, and then you can just learn from others, learn their management experience, and when the foreigner leaves, I will rely on you, sister! ”
Lin Xiang frowned and said, "Do you still want to follow foreigners?" But I don't know a foreign language! ”
Lin Qiangsheng had already thought of this question and said: "I will hire a translator, you don't have to worry about foreign languages!" When the time comes, you just need to write down the way the foreign manager manages the company. If you think about it carefully, there will always be progress! ”
Lin Xiang shook her head. She still thinks that things are not so easy, she thinks that hardware factories are so difficult to manage, let alone such a large factory. She also went to see Lin Qiangsheng's factory, but at that time, she just thought that her brother was not simple and he was fooling foreigners, but now when she really needs her, she feels that it is very difficult.
"Don't worry, sister. Surely you can! You've even tried it, how do you know you're not up to it? Lin Qiangsheng stimulated his sister with words.
Lin Qiangsheng knew that in her previous life, her sister was a very capable and smart person, and she stayed in the countryside and later started a variety of breeding, and lived a good life with tenacity.
Lin Xiang really couldn't stand the excitement. said: "What's the big deal, I've done it all over the city by the police with a small piece of hardware on my back, not to mention this!" ”
On February 20, the fourth day after the Spring Festival, Lin Johnson invited senior manager Laurie from abroad? Eriksson arrived at Hong Kong.
Lin Qiangsheng immediately contacted a law firm in Hong Kong and asked them to send someone to accompany Eriksson to Ben Cheng.
Laurie? Eriksson, a native Swede, now almost 60 years old, is the right manager found by Johnson & Johnson in Guò Headhunters, and his track record at SAAB is excellent!
Eriksson's name is long-winded and long, like many Germanic people, and like many Swedish men, he has a "SON" after his surname, which means descendant of the Erik family.
Laurie, who has served Saab Motors in Sweden for nearly 30 years, is about to retire, but during this time, he received an invitation from Lin Johnson to go to the East to help manage an automobile factory and serve as the CEO of an auto parts manufacturer.
The Swedes are gentle, reliable and pragmatic, and the environment in Sweden is very similar to that of Province H, where most of the year is winter, and the nights are long, and at the same time, the Swedes are used to going home early to rest. At this point, unlike people in other countries, who need so many recreational activities.
Swedes are better at enduring a lonely life, which is why Lin Johnson is looking for a Swedish manager, and the personality factor of the manager.
Whether it was the French or the Italian found by Lin Qiangsheng, they couldn't stay in this boring place for long, and when the time for a business trip came, they couldn't wait to run back to China. Even if Lin Qiangsheng's salary is high, it is useless to have no enthusiasm, and Lin Qiangsheng is unwilling to do things that are half the effort. So he brought in a Swede this time, hoping that this Eriksson would happily adapt to the environment here.
The two Hong Kong people who accompanied him, a lawyer named Kwok Wai-hung, and an English translator named Streisand.
Lin Xiangrong and Li Gang were already waiting next to the airport runway, and behind them was Lin Qiangsheng leaning on the front of the car and holding a pergola to watch the plane land.
The three of them got off the plane, they were also very unique targets at the airport, a foreigner with blond hair, two fashionable out-of-towners, and the passengers next to them all deliberately distanced themselves from them.
The three of them soon saw the welcome sign held by the car factory. "Welcome Mr. Eriksson and Hong Kong friends to Ben Thanh!" Immediately below is a row of welcome messages in English, which is very eye-catching.
The personnel of the Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation exclaimed excitedly: "It's here!" Welcome to foreign guests! ”
Li Gang and the foreign economic and trade personnel greeted him with a smile, Lin Xiangrong turned back to Lin Qiangsheng and said, "Hurry up, the foreign manager is here, hurry up and stand up to greet you!" ”
"Here we go!" Lin Qiangsheng agreed boredly. He thought that the automobile factory would pay attention to foreign managers, and it was not surprising that the general manager and deputy general manager came to greet him. In addition, the provincial foreign trade and economic cooperation have also sent people over.
Everyone met with each other, the people of the province's foreign trade and trade were very enthusiastic, the leader was called Zhang Zhiwen, he grabbed the job of translation, but it was obvious that his English level was not at home, and the Swede Eriksson chatted enthusiastically, and they turned back to Streisand to help translate.
"This is Mr. Lin Qiangsheng, he is our employer!" Streisand smiled and introduced to Erikson.
"Oh, Mr. Lin! We've talked on the phone before. You're so much younger than I thought you were! Eriksson took the initiative to stretch out his hand, smiled and said to Lin Qiangsheng, his attitude was obviously better than others.
Lin Qiangsheng shook hands with the Swede with a smile and said, "Mr. Eriksson, I am very happy to see you!" I hope our career has a good start! ”
Eriksson nodded and said, "Yes, our cause!" I consider this the second stop of my life! Of course. The first is always Saab! ”
"Saab, great company! Saab Motors. Fighter in the car! Lin Qiangsheng said praiseworthily.
"A fighter in a car!" Eriksson's eyes lit up as he recalled this sentence, but he didn't expect the new boss to give his old club such a high evaluation.
You must know that the people of Saab always want to associate their cars with fighter jets, and their advertisements always start with fighter jets inexplicably, and Saab is a car that wants to be a fighter jet!
Lin Qiangsheng gave this sentence, how could he not make Eriksson happy.
Lin Qiangsheng said hello to Streisan and Guo Weixiong, and Guo Weixiong introduced him: "Mr. Lin." We are in charge of the legal affairs of Eriksson, and after he has signed a contract with the car factory and your company, I will return to Hong Kong, and Miss Treissand will stay here for a while until you find a suitable translator! ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded. They shook hands with the two and said, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work!" ”
Streisand pursed the corners of her mouth, if she hadn't just arrived at the law firm, and Lin Qiangsheng named a young female translator, she would not have received this task to come to the mainland. However, hearing the young employer's words of thanks made her a little happy, after all, Lin Qiangsheng gave a lot of remuneration this time.
After Eriksson met with the leaders of the car factory, they chatted a few words, basically talking like a duck and a chicken.
In general, the city and the automobile factory are quite satisfied with this foreign manager. The nearly 60-year-old Swede looks steady and sophisticated, and he has a convincing temperament of a senior manager. The rest depends on his watch, and the automobile factory naturally hopes that this foreigner can help them better manage the factory, and it is best to bring advanced foreign management experience and models to make the automobile factory go to the next level.
The factory drove three silver Jetta cars, and the car used by the Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau was an old black Jetta, and the difference between the two could be clearly seen.
The silver paint of the former is a real metallic paint formula process imported from abroad, fashionable and beautiful, and the three cars are parked on the edge of the airport runway, and the silver light is very eye-catching. The first time I saw such a silver car, I had a dazzling feeling, and in today's market, this batch of silver Jetta from Bincheng Automobile Factory is definitely in the limelight!
The old Jetta in black has nothing to say, it uses backward plain paint, or the process formula of the fifties and sixties in the USSR. Lin Qiangsheng has also introduced a new type of plain paint formula from abroad, with black, white, red, yellow, blue and other colors, and the solid color car after the new process painting is much brighter!
