Chapter 47: The growth of the workplace is the beginning and end of the transition again and again
The enthusiasm of Sister Hui and Sister Yu made Aimee moved and amused, and she said frankly to the two colleague sisters who have always regarded themselves as their own sisters: "I'm also in a hurry, how many times have I counted everyone around me, but there is no one to choose." It's much harder to sell yourself than to sell our products! β
"I'm not talking about you, look at it, in the past year, Penny, Shirley, Spring, Judy, Jennifer, all of them got married! Can you spend some time with yourself? Sister Hui's inventory, so that Aimee suddenly found that when she got married, she was almost all out of town, and she didn't catch anyone's wedding, so she asked someone to send a red envelope first, and then send another small gift in advance or later - I used the time for others to fall in love, get married, and even attend weddings on business trips.
Where you spend your time, there will be a reward, even the little sister Xiaohong at the front desk always sneaks to Aimee's office during her business trip, while admiring her work photos posted on the wall, while envious: "It's amazing, so young, to be a manager, and have her own independent office." "Yes, twenty-five years old, from a career point of view, it is considered an early success, but for a girl who has never been emotionally embarrassed, the sense of time pressure for marriage is already very strong.
Lei Yue'er called Ning Qian to his office and told her that in the end, Gupta still helped her apply for the qualification of high-potential talents, not only a salary increase, but also an interest-free housing loan, you can choose to take a large amount of money to pay the down payment at one time, or you can choose to take a small amount of money every month for 60 months to pay the rent.
"You'd better hurry up and get a lot of money and buy a house!" Mr. Lei said to Aimee bluntly.
"But don't I owe a lot of money to the bank? How scary is that! "Aimee thinks it's hard to think of such a thing as buying a house!
"If you buy a house, it will increase in value, and you will have the opportunity to become a little rich woman!" Lei Yue'er continued to agitate.
"What does it matter if I'm a girl or not? When you get married in the future, you'll always have a place to live, right? "Aimee can say whatever she wants.
"Yo, why are you so confident that you will be able to get married? I've already helped you see it, it's getting harder and harder for you, look around, how many girls are not married? β
"In case you can't get married, you have a suite, how hard your waist is, how confident you are! Besides, if you have a house, it doesn't matter if you can marry or not. "Mr. Lei's words are really heart-wrenching: yes, twenty-five years have passed, and the girls around me have turned over several rounds of boyfriends, and many of them have gone ashore, and they have husbands and children, why can't I even see a personal shadow? What a self-esteem hurt! Mr. Lei is right: since there is no hope of getting married, there should indeed be a suite.
"That's okay, I'll just take the money at once and buy a house." Aimee said helplessly.
The rule is that you must first get a signed letter of intent to buy a house before you can apply for a housing loan from the company on this basis, and buying a house has suddenly become something that must be completed before a business trip next Tuesday, which is really dramatic! There are too few commercial houses for sale, and there is really nothing to choose from, so I can only go to Jiangli Garden, which is advertised on TV every day, and I signed a letter of intent directly after reading it. After paying the first payment, there was not much money left in his hand, and Aimee, who had thought that he had become rich in the past few years, once again appeared to be afraid of money.
After handing over the letter of intent to buy a house to Mr. Lei, he said with a smile: "You are the first girl I know to buy a house by yourself, which is amazing!" I'll be a good person to the end, or you can move to this apartment opposite the company, which is cheap and close to work. "Originally, the company rented an apartment for the people who were temporarily sent from Shanghai, but now they have just moved out and are vacant, and the company cannot surrender the lease early, otherwise it will be in default. But Aimee's princess suite is so beautiful, where can I afford to go.
Mr. Lei helped her analyze: If you move here, you can save nearly 3,000 yuan in rent every month, which is almost the monthly payment for buying a house, and you must not forget that you are the one who will pay the monthly payment from next month. "Oh my God, sure enough, buying a house is jumping from one pit to another......
With no choice but to succumb to the cruelty of reality, Aimee soon moved to the apartment opposite the company. Although it is not as warm as the princess suite, this is a small two-room, one more room than the princess suite, and it is true that you only need to cross the road to work, which is too convenient! Of course, the key is cheap! Aimee couldn't believe that the rent in these two districts could be so different!
Aimee lives in the company apartment, and it is inevitable that some people will be jealous, and gossip will come out, and Lei Yueer will actually investigate who is gossiping. He called the suspects into his office and asked, "Did you know that she almost lost her life for the company?" She took the initiative to give up a salary increase and recruit talent for the company, you know? Since she joined the company, she has never taken a day of annual leave, has not applied for a single overtime, and can be at work at any time, can you do it? β
After training them, Lei Yueer still felt very angry, and actually posted another announcement, issuing a warning: The company's salary is a fair decision made by the personnel department after a comprehensive evaluation by the management, and there is no doubt about it. In the future, anyone who talks about the treatment of others behind his back will be given a warning and punished with salary deduction.
Lei Yue'er knows in her heart: where will there be any cheap apartments? It's just that he saw that Ning Qian had bought a house and was about to provide for the house, and after discussing it with Gupta, he secretly took on most of the rent for her.
And Mr. Lei investigated and taught the gossiping people a lesson, and he also issued a special announcement for this purpose, which also spread to Ning Qian in Beijing. She never realized that these little things about herself were actually remembered by Mr. Lei. She was extremely grateful, and since then she has understood a truth:
We just need to do our best to do our best, and as a result, we will always be seen and remembered by the bosses. There is no need to doubt whether the boss has a conscience and is sharp-eyed, if you are strong enough, no one can block your light.
Before making changes to the staff in the Beijing office, Aimee had an in-depth communication with each of them. Sam was the easiest to communicate with, as he was already exhausted and could just wait for someone to come. He has the unique humor and generosity of Beijingers, even if he doesn't plan to continue working at all, he heard Aimee say that he wanted to go to the countryside of Hebei to see the market, he didn't say a word, he drove her along the line.
The reckless and vast Hebei Great Plain, the landscape on both sides has been exactly the same for a long time, he is sleepy when he drives it, singing Peking Opera, singing pop songs, telling jokes, and reciting poems. Before that, Aimee and Sam didn't have a lot of dealings, but in these days, the two of them ate and walked together, and they actually had the feeling of seeing each other late and feeling sorry for each other. On the day Sam left his job, the two of them made an appointment to be good friends in the future. Sam even said to Aimee, "I'm so sorry to leave you with a mess." β
Actually, it's not a mess, Aimee has been working with them for a while, and you can understand why Sam's job is so difficult to carry out β this group of sales is so good! You ask a question, and each of them can give you an answer to a movie. For example, you ask, "Why didn't this customer close the deal?" "He would look at the color of the door of this nightclub, the lights hanging at the door, the people he saw when he went in, what clothes these people were wearing, what they looked like, and one of them didn't look like the boss, but he was the boss, how he was unlucky enough to stray into the nightclub...... The eyebrows are dancing and the voices are colorful, which is even more wonderful than storytelling. At first, Aimee listened patiently, but after a few days, I found that I couldn't do anything if I listened to it like this.
As a result, Aimee's working style has become: please just say one, two, three reasons, each of which can only be a sentence that does not breathe. As soon as she breathed in, Aimee immediately said, "Okay, next." β
Aimee, who has always been very patient, has become completely self-paced when she arrives in Beijing, and if you are asked to speak, you will speak, and if you are not allowed to speak, you will have to stop immediately. She said: "I know you are all very good at talking, and I can't talk about you, so let's talk less and spend our time doing things." β
Her newly hired North Sales Manager, Owen, had been watching her for the first three days on the job. Later, he said to her: "You are really the most rude girl I have ever met, you actually interrupted them directly, dragged people and ran to the customer." β
After saying that, he also thought it was funny. Owen also has the characteristics of a Beijinger, especially able to speak and speak, but can also lead troops to fight, indeed, soon, Aimee completed the task of the Beijing office and can return to Guangzhou.
A few days after she returned to Guangzhou, she received a formal notice from the headquarters: all the marketing functions of Youjia were concentrated in the headquarters of Youjia China, and marketing departments were no longer set up in joint ventures in various places. The marketing managers who used to work in various places had to be transferred to Shanghai. As soon as Justin saw this adjustment, he called Aimee: "I'll just say, you'll be in Shanghai soon." Thank you for always encouraging me through this most difficult time. β
Justin's transfer to Shanghai is, of course, to turn the tide. When he first arrived, there was no one to settle him, so he had to go to find a house by himself, he couldn't understand Mandarin, and the property owner didn't speak English well, so he often had to call Aimee and ask her to help communicate with the other party. When he was really depressed, he would call Aimee, although he couldn't say the details, but it was good to complain, Aimee always listened patiently, and then joked with him, sometimes what two people said, it was like nonsense, there was no logic, but they could understand it, and they all laughed.
Justin said it felt like they were supposed to be from the same planet. "yes, fellow from the same nonsensical planet." Justin didn't know what a fellow country was, but he still found it very pleasant. Gradually, Justin's complaints were less, and there was more good news, and in less than half a year, the joint venture company he was responsible for had become the most eye-catching star enterprise in the whole Youjia China, their company's brand, streets, alleys, TV signs, everywhere. Justin also fought because of this, and became a big celebrity in Bruno and Youjia China, and even Youjia in the world. Aimee said to him, "You're the face of Lipton teaβit's red!" β
The joint venture managed by Justin was much lower than Lipton's starting point at the beginning, but in less than half a year, the scale reached three or four times that of Lipton.
His team is also growing rapidly, and every time he calls Aimee to come to his home in Shanghai for dinner, it is a room full of people, who come and go freely, and the laughter and laughter almost pierce the ceiling. Seeing that Justin met more excellent people and had more people who respected him around him, she was really happy for him and reminded herself to improve every day. Such a person is a mirror around him, who can always reflect the speed of his own running forward.
After the integration in Shanghai, the headquarters marketing is managed not only by brand, but also by category. In addition to continuing to be responsible for Lipton, Aimee will also be responsible for the entire beverage category. Her boss is Alan from the Netherlands. In fact, he is also Aimee's boss who has been appointed since he joined the special operations team of the headquarters.
Alan is in his thirties, his facial features are as clear and deep as the statues of ancient Greeks, he is tall and straight, with middle-parted blonde hair, blue eyes, and he is very good at dressing, and he attracts attention like a male model wherever he goes. Doing mergers and acquisitions dodging is really a bit burying his outstanding appearance, and now he has the position of general manager of Youjia China's beverage division in a serious way to show his charm.
No, a group of female account directors and creative directors of 4A advertising agencies said that they were here for a meeting, but those sparkling eyes told Alan bluntly: they came to see him.
What does it feel like to have such a young and handsome boss?
