39. Strange president
Guangyun District of Guangzhu City is a century-old LC area in this city.
Compared with the beautiful XC District, which is full of skyscrapers, many houses in Guangyun District not only look old, but also have much lower floors.
Panyun Industrial Park is an old industrial urban area in Guangyun District. There are many industrial buildings here, and the height is not very high, most of them are about seven floors.
One of the buildings seems to have been renovated with new pale green tiles throughout. These green tiles and the many green trees in the park complement each other, adding a touch of greenery to this traditional industrial old area.
But even if the building's faΓ§ade is renovated, it's still inconspicuous, just one of many buildings in the industrial park.
At the top of this building, there are several more conspicuous outdoor signboard words: Noah Technology.
On the third floor of the building, in a spacious office, a flat-headed young man in a T-shirt and jeans is slumping into his soft sofa executive chair and reading a book. The title of the book is "Internet + Era".
The young man was hunched back on the sofa chair, but his legs were tied directly on the desk, with a pair of sneakers. Such a gesture is a bit uninhibited.
No office worker dares to make such a gesture in the office, but for him, it doesn't matter at all. Because, he is the general manager of Noah's company, the first leader in the company. This is his private place, and at this time, there are no outsiders present in the office.
This office is not quite the same as a regular office. On one wall, there are a lot of electronic screen displays, which show all kinds of strange chart data, a bit like the analysis charts of stock trading software. There are also two walls, rows of full-wall bookcases. Bookcases are divided into different colors such as blue, green, yellow, and white. And inside the bookcase, there are books that are very densely arranged.
Most of these books have colorful translucent plastic book covers on their shells. Depending on the color, they are placed on shelves of different colors.
The president's office is not like an office, but rather like a private study, or a miniature library. A large number of bookshelves and books give this office a bookish atmosphere.
"Da Da Da", outside the closed frosted glass door, there seems to be a knock on the door.
"Mr. Bu, I have something to report." A girl's crisp voice came from outside.
The young man lowered his legs crossed on the desk and snorted, "Please come in." His eyes were still fixed on the book in his hand, and his upper body posture did not move much.
Entering the door was a young girl, dressed in secretary-style black professional attire, with long ponytail hair tied up in a palm.
"Mr. Bu, are you free now? There are some things that need to be reported to you in person. The girl said in a crisp voice. In her hand, she was holding a folder of plastic cardboard, which seemed to have some handwritten paper or something sandwiched on it.
"Say it!" The young man said lazily, raising his eyes slightly. However, he quickly glanced back at the book in his hand, completely ignoring the young secretary's beautiful figure. He is Yao Yayao's senior brother who has a one-sided relationship in the apartment of the grade counselor, Teacher Fan.
And the young girl who just walked in was his assistant secretary, Ma Xiaoya.
"The company's official mailbox has just received an appointment letter from Xiwen Group. Their chairman, Mr. Wu Wenhui, plans to bring someone to the company to have a formal meeting with you to discuss business cooperation between the two sides. The time is up to us. Ma Xiaoya said.
"I replied to the email and said that I was on a business trip, and most of the time I would not come back in time for ten days and a half months. Four words: drag the troops, but do not make a positive refusal. Bu probably didn't raise his head, and said lightly.
"But, Mr. Bu, this is their third official invitation letter in three months! Xiwen Media Group is a very large network company in China! If there is business cooperation with them, for our company, there is only one benefit and no disadvantage! Why have you been reluctant to meet them for so long? Ma Xiaoya seemed to hesitate.
"I know Xiwen Media, and I also know this Wu Wenhui. They are the largest online literature operator in China. Their backstage is even more incredible, they are one of the well-known Internet double horse kings in China, and the horse flower vine of the Arctic Goose business empire. β
"I guess you've read a lot of their popular online novels, "The National Husband", "Langya Fengshen List" and the like, right?" Ayumi finally sat up straight, looking at his assistant secretary with blazing eyes.
Ma Xiaoya nodded a little shyly, acquiescing to the possible statement.
"I know the ultimate business purpose for them coming to me. After all, a merchant is still a merchant, and his eyes have always been silver with white flowers. They want their popular web novels to appear on the bookshelf in my office. In other words, it appears in the catalog list of the magic holy book in the online game "Magic High School" operated by our company. Step may sigh and say lazily.
"Wouldn't that be nice? Originally, the majority of college students love to read their online fantasy novels! Our online games are just for college students! Wouldn't our company be able to benefit more from cooperating with them in the future?! Ma Xiaoya asked.
"Also, Mr. Bu, your sentence here [Books are full of society, and culture spreads all over the country], it seems that they often see this sentence on their website. Does this mean that both sides have some common interests? Ma Xiaoya added, her eyes staring at the two vertical screens behind Bu Wei. Above, there are these two lines of words in thick ink block letters.
Step may be happy after hearing it:
"The Legend of Tomb Robbery" and "Ghost Blowing Oil Lamp" are fantasy books that specialize in digging the graves of their ancestors, perhaps they like to promote the scholarly culture. This is their culture, but it is not the scholarly culture that our company supports. They undoubtedly have a lot of historical mission, but what our company focuses on is the sense of mission of the future of the distance and poetry. β
"Who is more important, history or future?! Xiaoya! You are still young, and you don't know many of the doorways in the business world. If there is only one word of money left in his eyes, then our Noah company will soon be annihilated on the rivers and lakes. And you and I will have to lose our jobs and find jobs again. Bu may sigh and say slowly.
Ma Xiaoya quickly stuck out her tongue, expressing her surprise at this answer. Although she was puzzled, she turned her back and planned to reply to the email immediately.
Ms. Ma has just turned 23 this year, but she has already spent time in several companies in different industries. The step manager in front of her was the strangest president-level figure she had ever seen.
For example, this step always looks like he is only about 25 years old, but he always looks old-fashioned and unfathomable, and from time to time pops out a few words that he is difficult to understand for a while.
For another example, all the employees of this Noah company, from top to bottom, seem to be mostly nerds who are ignorant of current affairs. In this Noah company, not only the president's office is full of bookshelves and books, but also many corridors in the company and employees' offices are full of bookshelves and books.
There are many employees in this company who read all kinds of books during their working hours, but there is never a supervisor to interfere, and it seems that it is a matter of course for employees to read books. There is a frenzy of books throughout the company. The company is not so much of a commercial company as it is a public library.
Ma Xiaoya often feels a little aggrieved, because no matter how carefully she dresses up every day, not many people seem to notice her hard work. Shouldn't beauty be a valuable resource for any company?! Why is this company not so valued?!
It's just a few broken books! Could it be that a big beauty like herself is not as attractive as those books in the eyes of those staff?!
Ma Xiaoya walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around and asked herself a question in her heart:
"Mr. Bu, why don't we tell them directly, you don't want to meet them at all? Isn't it a bit of a drag to keep procrastinating like this? β
Step may smile faintly and say:
"We are a country that advocates the golden mean, and direct rejection often offends people. We politely refused, but expressed the same meaning. They will understand in their hearts and retreat from the difficulties. You have to be tactful on the business battlefield, and you will understand everything later. β
Ma Xiaoya nodded yes again and again when she heard this, and her face showed admiration. The young president in front of him is not very old, but he has always been thoughtful, and he does have many outstanding points. She admires it from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, outside the half-hidden glass door, a man walked in.
There is only one other person in the company who can walk directly into the president's office without knocking on the door. He is Vice President Cai of the R&D Department, Cai Ming. This person is Xiao Cai, a colleague who stayed with Bu May in the Filipino online game development company three years ago.
He walked into this office with a happy look on his face.
Seeing Vice President Cai come in, Ma Xiaoya made a cup of tea for each of them, and then left the office and closed the glass door completely.
"Ah Neng, last Sunday, the number of people online at the same time exceeded 10 million! And the total number of registered players is more than 15 million!! In the field of end-game MMO, in addition to "World of Warcraft", our "Magic University" is already the second strongest in historical data on this earth! Xiao Cai said happily.
And, he took out a pack of soft-shelled red cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Bu Pos, and lit another one himself.
"Holy! You kid actually drew the "Central Plains Supreme" card?! This cigarette is super expensive, almost more than 100 yuan a pack! Such a small root is the money of a lunch box! You kid, you're extravagant! "Bu may not seem to be too interested in the good news, unmoved, but keenly aware of what new continent is.
The conversation between them is not as cautious as the usual relationship between superiors and subordinates, but more like a casual ridicule between good friends.
This is normal, because, in the past few years of getting along together and working together for a common cause, we have gradually established a deep emotional foundation for each other.
