20. It's a talent
"No, I'm just going to just turn around and don't have much to help with. You should be busy first, and if we meet in the future, I may have to ask you again for advice on how to make a good cup of coffee. The middle-aged man said kindly.
"That's easy to say." Huo Bufan nodded at him, and then left with his coffee.
The middle-aged man drank the coffee in the cup, and his gaze moved from the direction Huo Bufan left to the coffee machine.
After brewing the coffee, Huo Bufan cleaned the coffee machine again, so as not to waste time when grinding it for later users.
At this time, a few hurried people passed by at the door of the pantry, and one of them saw the middle-aged man standing there drinking coffee, and immediately shouted at the other people.
Immediately after, Ji Changming ran in quickly.
His forehead was sweaty, panting, and visibly tired.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Ji Changming breathed a sigh of relief, he walked over with a wry smile, and said in a three-point flattering and seven-point respectful tone: "President Xia, why did you come suddenly, if it weren't for your secretary saying that you came twenty minutes early, I wouldn't have known." ”
This middle-aged man, named Xia Hongyuan, is the vice president of the Provincial Chamber of Commerce.
He started as a fruit business, and later the business became bigger and bigger, and after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, he was elected as one of the vice presidents.
Although the chamber of commerce itself does not have any real power, those who can join it are all wealthy people in the province. If nothing else, this network of connections alone is enough for anyone to dare not take lightly.
Even if the Ji family is one of the top 50 family businesses in the country, Ji Changming is only one of the branches. If he wants to run the branch well, he must have a good relationship with an old local snake figure like Xia Hongyuan.
Otherwise, if people stumble a little, you will have a hard time.
Therefore, Ji Changming has always hoped to join the Provincial Chamber of Commerce in the name of an independent company and get the help of the Chamber of Commerce's resources, so as to get more chips in the direct competition.
However, the provincial chamber of commerce is not just what you say, not only the company's assets must meet a certain standard, but the chamber of commerce will also send personnel above the vice president to conduct on-site inspections.
There is no standard for inspection, it all depends on what the vice president says after he goes back.
He said you can do it, you can do it, he said you can't do it, you can't do it.
Under normal circumstances, the vice presidents of these inspections will not deliberately pick any thorns, after all, there are many friends and many paths, so why do you have to offend people.
However, it is not without the kind of case that after the inspection, the vice president is very dissatisfied, and thus determines that the membership conditions are not met.
Ji Changming has always been very concerned about this matter, knowing that the Provincial Chamber of Commerce sent Xia Hongyuan, who is known as the fruit king, to come, he is simply thinking about how to serve this vice president comfortably, so that he can achieve his goal.
Who knew that Xia Hongyuan was also a person who did not play cards according to the routine, and said that he came to inspect today, and the result was to the company twenty minutes earlier than the agreed time.
waited for his secretary to come to the company to inform Xia Hongyuan that he had come in advance, but Ji Changming was startled, for fear that some blind guy would offend this President Xia and mess up his own big things.
Since Xia Hongyuan came in advance, he is obviously a more practical person, and he hopes to see the situation of the Ji family branch more clearly.
Seeing the nervousness on Ji Changming's face, he smiled, put down the empty coffee cup in his hand, and said, "Mr. Ji doesn't have to be nervous, I just go around casually, your company's coffee is really good, it was made for me by a driver, and it tastes quite good." After chatting with the driver for a while, I think that if your employees are as deep as him, joining the Chamber of Commerce should be a matter of course. ”
I didn't talk to Huo Bufan for a long time, but his words and demeanor gave Xia Hongyuan a very good impression, and even his impression of the Ji family's branch was also very good.
If nothing else, the branch joined the provincial chamber of commerce, which is a sure thing.
After Xia Hongyuan's words, Ji Changming was overjoyed, and he struggled to think about how to please people for several days, but it was actually done in advance by a driver.
Although I don't know which driver is so capable, Ji Changming seized the opportunity and said enthusiastically: "Thank you so much President Xia, we held a welcome party at noon, all of them are the company's senior executives, as well as several large local merchants, and I hope that President Xia can appreciate his face." ”
Entertainment in a business like this is indispensable, and Xia Hongyu did not refuse. Since you plan to accept the Ji family branch into the Chamber of Commerce, it is also necessary to establish a good relationship in advance.
"The driver is not an ordinary person, although he only talked a few words, but I can hear that he is very knowledgeable and well-informed. Such a talent only serves as a driver, which is too condescending. If your Jijia branch can tap more such talents and entrust them to reuse, the future development is limitless! Xia Hongyuan finally said.
In fact, if it weren't for the overall strength of the Ji family, Xia Hongyuan would have wanted to dig that young man into his company, such a talent would only be a driver in the Ji family, which is simply a tyrannical thing.
Since it was not good to dig into the corner of the wall directly, Xia Hongyuan did not take the initiative to hand Huo Bufan a business card, in addition to not wanting the Ji family to be distracted, he also wanted to use this method to break his thoughts.
But if the Ji family really doesn't know the goods, the next time they meet, Xia Hongyuan won't be so face-saving.
What's the most important thing in these years?
Talent, of course!
President Xia's words, Ji Changming and the others who listened to them were stunned for a while, and until the other party left, they all didn't come back to their senses a little.
Which driver is it that makes the famous fruit king so important? Is there still such talent in the company?
"Go, find out who made the coffee for President Xia just now, and ask him to come to my office immediately!" Ji Changming commanded.
The beautiful female assistant standing on the side hurriedly responded, saying that she would check immediately, Ji Changming looked at the director of the personnel department again, and said: "You check and see what vacancies there are in the company, since President Xia attaches great importance to this person, whether he is a real talent or not, he is the key to whether we can join the Provincial Chamber of Commerce and arrange a suitable position." ”
"Yes, I see." The director of the human resources department nodded.
They all understood that the reason why Xia Hongyuan was so good at talking was definitely not because he was sloppy, but because the driver who made coffee for him left a too good impression.
Therefore, as long as the company promotes this driver and gives Xia Hongyuan a face, joining the Chamber of Commerce is a logical and natural thing.
At this time, a person came up and said in a low voice: "A message has just been released on the company's official website, you can take a look." ”
Ji Changming took the tablet in the other party's hand, and on it was the rumor-refuting announcement issued by the public relations department.
"What kind of tricks does that stinky woman want to do? Do you want to die! Ji Changming scolded with just one glance, and the content above was naturally about suppressing the sidelines. Ji Xiangning said that it was to refute the rumors, but in fact, the tone was very aggrieved, so that people could see at a glance that she was forced to say these words against her will.
Immediately the branch joined the provincial chamber of commerce, and Ji Changming was the first hero. I usually don't take Ji Xiangning in my eyes, let alone now.
Turning around and walking towards the general manager's office, he said very arrogantly: "Do you really think that you can do whatever you want, but you have a good life, you have to embarrass her!" ”
In the office at this time, Ji Xiangning held a coffee cup and admired: "It's delicious, who cooked it?" ”
"Me." Huo Bufan pointed at himself.
"How do you know how to make coffee?" Ji Xiangning asked suspiciously.
Huo Bufan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have a lot of time, so I looked up some information on the Internet when I was idle." ”
"It's online again...... You can ...... everything."
Before Ji Xiangning's words were finished, the door of the office was vigorously pushed open, and Ji Changming walked in angrily and scolded: "Ji Xiangning, are you a little too much!" Do you really think that if you sit in the position of general manager, you can do whatever you want! ”
This scene was staged not long ago, and once again, Ji Changming's tone was heavier and his attitude was more polite.
Ji Xiangning knew that he must have seen the announcement to refute the rumors, so he came over to find trouble. Ji Xiangning, who had already been mentally prepared, said very calmly: "Didn't you say that I should admit my mistake, so I asked Mr. Ma to send a rumor refutation announcement to return your innocence, what's wrong?" ”
