"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Huntelaar."

Immediately after the introduction of old Huntelaar, Mr. Taylor shook John's hand respectfully. Since he had come to New York at the invitation of old Huntelaar, he naturally did not fail to find out about the future boss in advance, and the more he knew, the more he admired John—any man who had built such a large industry in a few years deserved his admiration.

"It's my pleasure too, Mr. Taylor."

Smiling slightly, John's right hand squeezed a little harder.

This was not a polite remark as a host, in fact, John was only slightly stunned after hearing Taylor's name, and soon found a memory of him in his mind - a man known as the father of scientific management.

In the future, the name of the father of something will long be rotten, and in fact, these people are just people who started a certain research in various fields relatively early. However, having this title means that they were at least pioneers and leaders in their contemporaries......

Taylor's name is one of the loudest.

This advocate of scientific management has made extremely important achievements in the formulation of work quotas, differential piecework wages, and standardization, otherwise his name would not have been known to John in his previous life. You know, as a surgeon, John has never had the slightest interest in management or anything, and it is not easy to know Taylor's name.

So after hearing this name in his memory, John couldn't help but pay attention to today's dinner.

"Two gentlemen, this is my friend Henry."

After letting go of John's hand, Taylor immediately began to introduce another young man beside him: "Henry? Gantt, who is also my colleague in Philadelphia. ”

"Good evening, sir."

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Huntelaar."

……

Old Huntelaar and John shook hands with the Mr. Gantt. Then he looked at Taylor. They vaguely guessed what Taylor meant, but they needed to be sure.

Sure enough, Taylor quickly laughed and said, "Henry and I are very good friends, so I didn't hide my intention to come to New York, and he was very interested in it, so I ......"

"Haha. Welcome, very welcome! ”

This time, without waiting for Taylor to finish, John took the initiative to take a stand.

Although he did not know much about the abilities and character of this Mr. Gantt, since Taylor said so, John was naturally very welcome. And it seems that this Mr. Gantt is a few years younger than Taylor, and if he studies with a management master for a few years, he will definitely have no problem taking control of a company.

John didn't have Gantt's name in his memory, and if he did, he would have been even more excited.

Henry. Lawrence. Gantt Henry. Lawrence. Gantt. is also a well-known management master in American history, and his name may be much smaller than Taylor, but in the more than ten years he has just worked, he has been working with Taylor and has a very strong ability. It can be said that the old Huntelaar invited Taylor to New York, and the other party made a buy one get one free deal, which can be described as a great value.

After some pleasantries, the four of them sat down to order their own food.

After ordering two dishes at random. John smiled and asked, "Mr. Taylor, after visiting several factories in the past two days. How do you feel? ”

Taylor and Gantt had already arrived in New York two days ago, but they did not come to meet John directly at the invitation of old Huntelaar, but first went to the pharmaceutical company, the medical device company and the Heinz daily necessities company to visit in detail, because the old Huntelaar invited him to come so that he could manage these factories, among which the Heinz pharmaceutical company was naturally the top priority. For Taylor's behavior, old Huntelaar is quite appreciative. When I came here just now, I was amazed all the way.

After a slight groan, Taylor nodded seriously and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, congratulations on owning several very advanced factories!" Whether it is the equipment produced or the technical content of the products, it is amazing......"

"But what?"

John raised his eyebrows and asked lightly. I know my own things best. Although the elder Huntelaar was a good businessman, he was never an expert in managing factories, and John himself was a pure layman, so even if he came to more than a hundred years ago, he would not think that he could manage a factory well. As you can imagine, there must have been problems everywhere in several factories as well, and professionals like Taylor will see it at a glance......

"The management is too chaotic!"

Without saying any kind words, Taylor shook his head directly: "Although it has only been two days, I have found many problems, such as low production efficiency, and many workers have the phenomenon of grinding foreign workers; Another example is the chaotic management of accounts, and it seems that someone is fishing in troubled waters......"

Listening to Taylor's chatter, old Huntelaar and John's faces slowly turned ugly.

Since they spent a lot of effort to poach Taylor to come to New York, it was naturally because they were not very satisfied with the current management of the factory, but what the grandfather and grandson did not expect was that in the eyes of experts, the management of the factory would be so chaotic! How can the two people, who have always been proud of their own industry, accept it?

After talking for a few minutes, Taylor said: "Gentlemen, in short, there are many problems in several factories, especially Heinz Pharmaceutical, the huge profits cover up many problems in the factory, if you can rectify it well, the production efficiency can be at least doubled, and the cost can be reduced by 30%!" "Oh? It's true?! ”

After hearing this, old Huntelaar's eyes widened instantly.

Compared to the shock of old Huntelaar, John's expression was much more natural. As a person of the future, of course, he knows the great power of scientific management, and at the same time, he also understands that management at the end of the 19th century is just in its infancy, and there is more room for progress than people imagine. And if the person who said this was Taylor's words, the reliability would be even higher.

"Of course, sir."

Nodding, Taylor said calmly, "Isn't that what you invited me to New York for?" ”

"Hmm...... too, haha. ”

Slightly stunned, old Huntelaar immediately laughed happily: "If you say that...... Mr. Taylor, did you grant my invitation? ”

“…… Yes, sir. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Taylor quickly nodded heavily.

In fact, he did have plans to change jobs, and if the old Huntelaar did not invite him, he would have resigned from his current job at the end of the year to become the general manager of a paper mill. But now that heinz is in New York, visiting Heinz Pharmaceuticals, medical device companies, and commodity companies, how could Taylor still be willing to go back to Philadelphia? New York is bigger than Philadelphia, and the bright future of Heinz Pharmaceuticals makes him even more excited!

"Great!"

After getting Taylor's answer, old Huntelaar smiled comfortably, stood up and stretched out his right hand again: "Mr. Taylor, welcome to the Huntelaar Group, believe me, no matter the future development of several companies or your personal remuneration, you will not be disappointed ......"
