Chapter 652: Etiquette
Because there is no board of directors in the strict sense, when Xu Jie asked Shen Yiyi for the documents of the board of directors, Shen Yiyi really couldn't take it out. If an ordinary company lacks something, as long as you talk to the secretary of the board of directors, there will naturally be a secretary of the board of directors who will prepare these documents and can be issued at any time. But for Shen Yiyi and Wang Kai's company, there were only these two people at that time, who both owned the company and operated the company. It can be said that the will of the board of directors is the will of the management, and there is no need to put up two signs at all. Because there's only one set of people in total.
But now that Shen Yiyi was asked to provide board documents, Shen Yiyi knew that this was completely Xu Jie's move against him. Because she couldn't have known that there was no board of directors and no secretary of the board of directors, the company's accounts never went through the accounts of the board of directors at all.
However, since Xu Jie wanted to make things difficult for herself, Shen Yiyi didn't mind scaring her with a sentence.
So Shen Yiyi was not as flustered as Xu Jie imagined, but had a smile on his face, and asked Xu Jie with a smile: "Do you really want the board of directors to issue a document?" Our board of directors generally does not issue documents except for the appointment and dismissal of important leaders. ”
The implication is that Xu Jie, if you insist that we send you something, be careful, I will directly dismiss you.
What the master pursues is the process of your coming and going. Of course, if you can finally knock out your opponent, it will be better. But if you can't knock out the opponent, you can check the level of the opponent through the process of going back and forth, and to some extent, you can also decide how everyone will play together in the future.
Although Xu Jie was a little disappointed that she did not gain the upper hand in the process of fighting with Shen Yiyi, she still found out in the fight that Shen Yiyi was not the kind of girl who had a few money in her hands and was pampered by her family to provide her with this platform as a toy as she imagined before. And the fact that this company can reach its current scale is not all due to Wang Kai's support as she imagined before. On the contrary, after interacting with Shen Yiyi, Xu Jie can now determine that Wang Kai's contribution will not be less in the development of the company, but Shen Yiyi has also played a role that cannot be ignored.
Acknowledging Shen Yiyi's ability was not something pleasant for Xu Jie. Because a capable company owner often can't help but not dictate the company's running business. And this also means that as the new general manager of the company, she must get used to having a pair of hands on her head that can interfere with her decision-making power in the company's affairs at any time.
Of course, although I don't like it, as Shen Yiyi told her before, in the business community of the East and the West, it is not uncommon for the board of directors or the board of directors to interfere with the management. As a well-known business elite who returned from the United States, Xu Jie could not bite the bullet and say that such an intervention was not in line with convention.
For a moment, Xu Jie was a little skeptical about his decision to return to China. What she thought was a reckless decision to return to China was a bit reckless. Originally, she thought that she could have the final say in the new company, because the owner of the company was just a little girl who was still in college after Wang Kai left Beijing, and she should be easily persuaded by herself. But now I found that it was not the other party who was persuaded, but myself.
However, Xu Jie also quickly convinced himself. Even if the other person's performance is unexpected, so what? Since the other party has hired himself as the general manager of the company, it means that the other party actually does not have a lot of time to deal with the company's affairs. In the absence of the other party, he can still perform the duties and powers of the general manager. What's more, I didn't experience this situation less when I was in the United States, didn't I handle it well at that time? There is no reason why I have handled it well in the United States, and I am afraid of such a challenge when I return to China.
After figuring it out, Xu Jie didn't mind anymore. The confrontation between management and the board of directors is a constant battle, not a matter of gain or loss in one place or one place. In the future, in the specific work, everyone may still collide. Xu Jie didn't think that Shen Yi would have the upper hand every time he returned. After you are fully prepared in the future, you may still be able to take back the dominant position. As for this time, since he still can't gain the upper hand, seeing that his foundation is not stable now, he will give Shen Yiyi a face.
Xu Jie showed a wry smile on his face, and made a gesture of concession to Shen Yiyi: "Okay, I know." As the general manager, I will firmly implement the intention of the board of directors. But really, if you want to focus on a few projects, it's best to put them together in a document for me. I'm afraid that after a long time, everyone will forget. When the time comes, it won't be beautiful if it delays your affairs. ”
Shen Yiyi saw that Xu Jie had softened, and of course she had to soften herself. Besides, what people say still makes sense. There are so many projects, if she just dictates them once, Xu Jie may not be able to remember them. It's better for her to make something on paper and put it on Xu Jie's desk, and **** reminds her to remember to give blood transfusions to these items.
Therefore, she also nodded in agreement with Xu Jie's suggestion this time: "Okay." I'm going to take a piece of paper out and write it down on paper. You remember to arrange it then. Or do I go back and print it out and send it in? ”
Xu Jie said: "You don't need to print it, you can just write it down." The chairman's handwritten message is worth more than a computer printout. ”
Shen Yiyi smiled, followed Xu Jie's words, took a piece of paper directly from Xu Jie's desk, and began to write about the next few projects she was going to work on. When she wrote it herself, she realized that she had already thought about which projects she wanted to support, but when it came time to write it down, she still found that she needed to think about it one by one so that she could not miss it. With so many projects, it really needs to be documented in writing to be able to carry out the work. From this point of view, Xu Jie's insistence is still reasonable.
In this collision of the two heroines, both of them were uncomfortable at the beginning, to self-adjustment and tricks later, and finally reached an agreement acceptable to each other. In the future, although Shen Yiyi and Xu Jie will inevitably have discord in this company, in the end, they will still turn the company into a converter of scientific research investment and market feedback. When future generations explore the secret of the take-off of China's most profitable all-round technology company, it still has to be traced back to this conversation between two well-known women in 1997.
After seeing Xu Jie's paper clipped into her own notebook, Shen Yiyi knew in his heart that his main purpose of coming over this time had been achieved. She looked up at her watch, and there were still a few hours left before the evening Q&A time she had agreed with her classmates. She wasn't in a hurry to go back at this time, so she just chatted with Xu Jie about other things.
Shen Yiyi remembered the discomfort he had encountered when he came by car before, and felt that it might be appropriate to talk to Xu Jie about this topic at this time.
She opened her mouth and asked Xu Jie, "Sister Xu, I don't see any cars below, how do you get to work now?" Did someone pick you up? ”
Xu Jie glanced at Shen Yi and asked, "What is this?" You call me Sister Xu again now? Does that mean it's time for private chat? Don't talk about work anymore? ”
Shen Yi nodded and said, "Yes." Now that the work is over, it's time to talk about something else. Public is public, private is private. When talking about business, I call you Mr. Xu, or General Manager Xu; So when talking about private matters, of course, you are called Sister Xu. ”
Xu Jie nodded: "Okay, then let's enter the private chat time, do you want me to ask someone to bring you a cup of coffee, let's have a good chat together?" ”
Shen Yiyi: "Say it again." I'd also like to say that your hospitality is very problematic right now. You see that you only remembered to pour me a drink until now, is it not that you are not going to give me something to drink if I don't talk about personal matters? This kind of hospitality is not in line with Chinese business practices. You are now the general manager of our company, but you need to refresh your Chinese business etiquette. ”
Shen Yiyi actually knew why Xu Jie's first drink was not served to him. She absolutely didn't believe that Xu Jie would not know basic business etiquette. In fact, he didn't serve himself a drink just because it was part of Xu Jie's overall strategy to deal with himself today. You must know that Xu Jie's main idea today is to confront herself, so obviously she is going to overwhelm herself from the beginning. If she gave a drink to herself and her face as soon as she came up, she was afraid that she would not be able to get up from the momentum at the beginning, and the battle between the two would be won or lost before it began.
However, even if there is a reasonable explanation, because Shen Yiyi unfortunately became the person targeted by this set for Xu Jie, Shen Yiyi still had to seize the opportunity to stab Xu Jie. Anyway, it's rude not to serve yourself a drink. Thinking about this, Xu Jie himself can't deny it.
Sure enough, Xu Jie's face was faintly red when Shen Yiyi said this. The reason why she didn't serve tea or coffee to Shen Yiyi at the beginning was really the same as what Shen Yiyi said, purely to let herself pass through the arrangement of seats and hospitality, so that Shen Yiyi could feel her own majesty. However, the result of his own arrangement is still to submit to the funders in the capital game. It's impossible to say to Shen Yiyi bluntly now, I did that to you like that, just to defeat you. Xu Jie thought about it, so he could only say to Shen Yiyi vaguely: "Actually, when I was in a foreign country, I didn't drink when I was negotiating. ”
Shen Yiyi didn't believe the ghost reason Xu Jie's said. She snorted and said to Xu Jie disappreciatively: "Sister Xu, although I am young, it is not something you can fool casually. If you take a foreign business language from any country, there must be a conversation in the first few lessons after the lecturer comes. There's a classic dialogue in this that you won't be unaware of. In English coffee_or_tea is already a fixed match. In this case, you still want to lie to me, are you too confident in your hypnotic skills? ”
After Xu Jie's lies were ruthlessly exposed by Shen Yiyi, he simply stopped hiding them. Now that they've all been discovered, there's nothing she needs to worry about.
"Yes, you're smart. I just didn't serve you a drink in the first place, so what? Are you here for a drink today? Aren't you here to give me a job? In that case, what do you care about what you drink? ”
Xu Jie finally played a little scoundrel. In fact, female managers really have the privilege of being a scoundrel. Male managers can't do this kind of thing, and only female managers can occasionally behave irrationally. Because they have a perfect excuse, that is, the society generally believes that women are emotional animals, so it is normal to have emotional fluctuations as women. Of course, such a trick can't be used too much. Because if you use it too much, your own evaluation will also decrease. Don't forget that you are a female manager. Managers who are overly emotional are frowned upon.
However, Shen Yiyi really couldn't do anything about this kind of scoundrel style. Since Xu Jiedu was already so innocent and didn't care about face, Shen Yiyi really couldn't continue to pursue it. The small bickering between the two is not ready to escalate into a shrew scolding the street, and it will be forgotten.
So Shen Yiyi also gave Xu Jie a little face, and did not continue on this topic: "Okay, if you give me a cup of coffee, it will be a shame that you started to be rude." But you haven't answered my first question yet. When I asked you how you got to work, did someone take you in a special car, but you didn't answer. ”
Pulling the topic away is to give the two of them a step. This way people can naturally move the conversation away from the topic that is causing controversy.
Xu Jie really understood Shen Yiyi's intentions. Now that Shen Yiyi no longer pursues the embarrassing question, then Xu Jie will not lean up on his own. It just so happened that Shen Yiyi's question was not difficult, and Xu Jie was naturally happy to answer.
"How did you get here today, that's how I got to work. I don't have a car to take me. In addition, I haven't bought a car myself, so I took a taxi to work for the past two days. Xu Jie said to Shen Yiyi one by one.
Shen Yi nodded, but immediately said, "I didn't take a taxi here." I'm on the bus today. So if you say you came here in the same way as I did, then you shouldn't even take a taxi. ”
Xu Jie was quite surprised when he heard Shen Yiyi's words: "What? You're coming by bus? In addition to squeezing the car, it will take a long time. No wonder I saw you sweating profusely, it turned out that you walked out. (To be continued.) )
