Tom's actions provoked an exclamation, but Tom really didn't react much, just drank a lot of water in one go. As far as he can tell, Mai Miao is so untasty that it makes his mouth smell weird.

The story was immediately circulated on the radio as part of the "DDT" advertisement, and Tom was immediately rewarded with a special reward from the company: a full $2,000 in cash and an opportunity to study at the Consortium's training center.

"Tom." Hanks, the manager of the distribution department, took the pocket containing the $2,000 check and handed it to Tom, "They arranged for you to go to the Cleveland Corporate Culture Training Center after this year's wheat harvest." This is a rare opportunity, young man, this is our West Point, and after training there, you will definitely be promoted, although you will not have a high position at the beginning, probably a distribution manager like me, but you will be a registered person at that time, and the people above will always pay attention to you, and then your road to promotion will be much faster. In another two years, maybe you'll be in charge of us. Haha, congratulations, Tom, do your best. Hanks reached out again and tapped Tom on the shoulder.

"Hmm." Tom nodded.

Tom was the envy of all the other employees in the distribution department, not only for the $2,000 award, but also for the opportunity to study at the training center. However, everyone did not have jealousy or anything like that, after all, Tom's work attitude was something that everyone saw.

The McDonald Consortium's staff training center in Cleveland has been in operation for several years. The center was established not much later than Cleveland University, and some of the necessary staff are sent here for comprehensive training, which includes professional knowledge and skills, as well as more pragmatic things like "corporate culture."

However, for anything retreating to be effective, even if it is just brainwashing, it must first be turned into concrete steps. Scrooge's training of the McDonald Consortium's employees defined a corporate culture of hard work and dedication.

The so-called hard work and dedication includes two aspects:

The first point is that every employee must understand that the value of a person is not in how much money he earns, but in what he has contributed to society and mankind. For example, Sir Newton's time, the richest man in England was by no means Newton, but Sir Newton's life was much more valuable than that of the richest man in England at that time. Because he has contributed more to humanity. The McDonald Consortium is not a consortium that regards making money as its highest goal, and the companies under the consortium put their contribution to humanity ahead of making money. For example, the original MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company has been committed to providing people with the strength to resist violence and defend themselves; For example, McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company has been committed to helping people's health and fighting diseases. MacDonald's other companies, such as Steel, continue to contribute the best quality steel to the construction of the United States, such as railroads, and continue to provide better services to the American people, and radio and telephone have brought the American people closer to each other, and the American people and the people of the world, so that the connection between relatives is not limited by distance.

The second point is that the relationship between the company and its employees is mutually supportive and mutually reinforcing. Without the dedication of countless employees, the company cannot make such a great contribution to the society, and without the platform provided by the company for employees, the wisdom of many employees cannot be transformed into contributions to the society in the most convenient way. In short, the company and employees are inseparable as a whole, and the success of the company is the success of each employee, and the success of each employee is also the foundation of the company's success.

Well, these two core ideas are said to have been proposed by Scrooge himself as the common cultural core of the companies owned by the MacDonald consortium. It is said that Dorothea, who was only Scrooge's fiancée at that time, once asked Scrooge, is it with this philosophy that you have done such a good job in the company? At that time, Scrooge just smiled, and then said something like this: "No, I made most of the employees in the company uphold this philosophy, and our company has developed so well." ”

After getting the reward, Tom took it more and more seriously. Tom knew that he had come into the sight of some people, and now that he might be watching. There is no shortage of similar cases in the learning materials that the company sent him in advance, especially in the learning materials of some professional ethics training, for example, a job seeker was hired after the interview because he noticed the paper on the floor when he went out, and picked it up and put it in the trash can, or for example, a ...... Well, there are two more rats looking for cheese, and ...... Anyway, there are many, many stories of this kind that are very touching and inspirational. So, after receiving encouragement and confidence, Tom decided to follow these positive examples and continue to serve the company's customers with a conscientious and responsible work attitude. So when he got home, Tom told his wife the good news, and told her to take the check, and then said to her, "Louise, if there is no accident, we will have a great deal of money in June this year, when the grain is ripe, so that I can make up for the wedding ring that I have not been owing you all along." ”

Louise lowered her head and said, "Fool, what else do you want that thing for, it's an old husband and wife." ”

"Yes, yes." Tom walked over, put his arms around his wife's waist, and said, "I'm going to Cleveland after the summer harvest in June." It's about three months of training, and then, well, maybe you'll be sent somewhere else by the company to be the head of the sales division. Well, we're moving again. Well, if we quit the house here, you and I will go to Cleveland, rent a house and live there, and then we will go together when a new appointment is given to me. When I was promoted, my salary went up. At that time, we went to buy a house with a small yard, dug a small pond in the yard, planted water lilies, and planted all kinds of flowers in other places, roses, cosmos, and many more flowers, and we had children at that time, and every day after work, in the evening, we sat under the grape trellises in the yard and watched the children run around among the flowers...... "Tom himself was a little drunk when he said this.

"Come on, saliva is going to run down my clothes. Let go, I'm going to get some food. Louise said, and she turned and went into the kitchen. Tom could see that although his wife didn't say much, it was clear that the vision for a better life in the future had actually moved her. Women are sometimes very emotional, and a beautiful vision can inspire them to endure a lot of hardships, and of course, men are also the same.

Two months of busy time passed quickly, the summer harvest is just around the corner, Tom is getting harder and harder, he is basically running around with a few customers these days, except for sleeping, basically as soon as the sun comes out, during the day, Tom is either in the customer's wheat field, or on the way to the customer's wheat field.

Seeing that the wheat grows higher and higher, the ears are drawn and the ears are gradually bent down. A gentle breeze blew across Jim's wheat field, and the golden wheat rippled in layer after wave.

"Tom, have you ever seen a field like this before?" Jim and Tom stood aside, looking delightfully at the harvest field.

"Nope." Tom honestly said, "I never thought that with 'earth gold' and 'DDT', there would be such a bumper harvest." "Although there are still a few days to go before the harvest, both Jim and Tom can tell that this year's harvest will be far ahead of last year's national average, and I am afraid that it will be more than doubled.

"Not only that, but also your help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take care of the fields so well." Jim said sincerely, "I heard you're getting promoted?" ”

"Not yet, just going to an employee training." Tom replied, "But most likely there will be a promotion." ”

"Good thing, when the harvest is over, I'll invite you to drink!" Jim said, and then they turned their obsessive gaze to the golden field. Tom noticed that Jim's nose was humming a very familiar tune, and when he listened closely, it was an advertising song of "Earth Gold": "On the Field of Hope". The more he hummed along with Jim, then the two of them hummed louder and louder, and finally the two simply sang together: "Our future is ...... in the field of hope."

After singing this song, the two of them laughed together. After a while, Jim said to Tom, "Your company is really good, the things are good, the people are good, well, even the advertising songs are good." However, DDT's song is not very good, and I don't like it. But my son likes it very much. It's there all day long singing 'We're pests, we're pests'. I said to him, 'You are a pest, you have been poor all these years!' 'Hahahaha! ”

"Jim, I have three clients on my hands, and your wheat field here is the best. I've seen some other people's wheat fields, but they are basically not as good as yours. I don't know how much wheat can be produced in this wheat field, and whether it can set a record. In a few days, the company will have a special person to supervise the harvest and weighing, if your yield per mu this year reaches the top ten, next year your 'soil gold' can be all free. But it's not easy, and the company has thousands of users. ”
