Chapter 9 Xiao Zhengyun's persistence
At 7 o'clock in the morning on Friday, when the sky was not completely bright, Xiao Zhengyun leisurely pulled a suitcase and walked out of the safe passage in the waiting hall leisurely. Because it was early, there were not many people waiting in line for taxis, so he quickly got into one, reported the address, and began to put on headphones, listen to music, and close his eyes to recuperate.
may be because he is still living in Germany, and when the car is halfway through, Xiao Zhengyun has already entered a state of groggy. Suddenly, the ringing of the phone pulled him back from his daze.
"Good morning, Mr. Xiao! Welcome back to Shanghai. Calling you so early, I hope it didn't bother you. The person on the other side of the phone was Xiao Zhengyun's assistant Zhang Qing in Shanghai.
"Good morning, Assistant Zhang! I just got off the plane, so I'll go home first. It is estimated that I will enter the company at 10 o'clock in the morning," Xiao Zhengyun.
"Okay, Mr. Xiao! In addition, the people from the Sydney branch also left last night, and the relevant departments in Shanghai are also ready. When you return, the meeting is expected to begin at 2 p.m. today. "Assistant Zhang Qing.
"Yes, you can. I've worked hard for you during my time in Germany, Assistant Zhang! Then we'll see you later."
"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao. This is what I should do. "Assistant Zhang.
After Xiao Zhengyun hung up the phone, he suddenly found that the beautiful Oriental Pearl Tower was not far in front of his sight. Such a picture with a very typical Shanghai color suddenly pulled Xiao Zhengyun out of the atmosphere of immersion in Germany. He suddenly realized that just a few days ago, he had hurriedly said goodbye to his past, and now, he had set foot on the land of his hometown. He lowered the window, looked out the window, and focused entirely on the spire of the Oriental Pearl Tower. It wasn't until the driver coughed a few times that he instantly felt a chill hit him, and hurriedly closed the window again.
After arriving home, Xiao Zhengyun put down his luggage and walked straight to the restaurant. Before he stepped into the door of the restaurant, he heard the sound of his father Xiao Meng and Kunshu talking. He walked in and saw his father Xiao Meng and Uncle Kun, who was still holding coffee in his hand, already looking at him in unison.
"Dad, I'm back." Xiao Zhengyun said as he sat next to Xiao Meng.
"Go wash your hands, breakfast will be ready soon." Xiao Meng didn't say much, but his eyes kept looking at his son, his eyes were full of love.
Xiao Zhengyun was very happy to eat this breakfast, because Xiao Meng specially instructed the kitchen aunt to prepare the wonton noodles that Xiao Zhengyun would eat every time he returned to Shanghai. This wonton meat filling is still very particular, and the ingredients must be lean meat Xiao Zhengyun is used to eating, but the new kitchen aunt makes it.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Zhengyun, dressed in a light blue suit and wearing brown and bronze sunglasses, walked into the office of Zhongqin Piano in Shanghai headquarters. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, the little girl at the front desk almost bounced out of her chair.
"Mr. Xiao, long time no see! You're back from Germany! Angle, the little girl at the front desk, said enthusiastically.
Xiao Zhengyun turned around and said with a smile as he continued to walk to the side, "Good morning, Angle!" )”。
As soon as he walked into his office and turned on the computer switch, assistant Zhang Qing was already standing at the door and knocked lightly on the open office door.
"Mr. Xiao, good morning, do you have time now?" Zhang Qing.
"Well, I've just arrived, you come in, please close the door by the way." Xiao Zhengyun looked at Zhang Qing with a smile and said.
Zhang Qing brought the door, then walked to Xiao Zhengyun's desk and sat down. She spread out the schedule for this afternoon's meeting on Xiao Zhengyun's desk. "Mr. Xiao, take a look, this is the entire process of this afternoon's meeting. First of all, Mr. Ren, the representative of the Shanghai office, then Til Mueller, the representative of Sydney, and then you spoke, and led the team to preview the entire strategic plan for entering Australia in 2020. ”
"Well, this meeting process and the business plan you have sorted out, I have already seen it on the plane, I thought it through very well, and I did a good job" Xiao Zhengyun looked at Zhang Qing with praise in his eyes.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon. With all the people in Room A of the Shanghai Zhongqin Conference Room arriving, Xiao Zhengyun stood up and shook hands with Til Mueller, the head of the Sydney office, and the two Australians who accompanied him.
After they took their seats, Mr. Ren from Shanghai began to speak. His speech was long and full in Chinese. The person in charge of the English simultaneous interpretation is working hard to translate. Til and the other two blonde foreigners listened intently, nodding their heads from time to time.
Ren Mingming Ren can actually communicate directly in English, but Xiao Zhengyun still decided to use the translator for him, because Xiao Zhengyun felt that since the company was merged by us Chinese, he had to follow the customs. Although it is necessary to take into account the language problem of foreign colleagues, since the meeting is held at the headquarters in Shanghai, China, someone must speak in Chinese at the meeting, which is Xiao Zhengyun's insistence.
Compared with Mr. Ren's 1 by 2 speech, Sydney's representative Til Mueller's speech was relatively brief. He introduced himself in English with a slight German accent. "Hi, my name is Til Mueller. First of all, I would like to congratulate Zhongqin Piano again on the successful acquisition of the Schwartz piano brand under the Schwartz family in 2018. Also, for those who are not familiar with me, I would like to introduce myself. I have had the privilege of working alongside two generations of the Schwartz family. After that, I was very honored to be sent to Sydney, Australia, and is currently the head of the Sydney branch. Now, I appreciate the decision of the headquarters to appoint Mr. Xiao Zhengyun as the head of the Pacific region. Finally, our team in Sydney is very much looking forward to working with Mr. Xiao Zhengyun in 2020. After his speech, Til Mueller politely saluted Xiao Zhengyun.
After Xiao Zhengyun also politely replied to Til Mueller, he cleared his throat and said, "Thank you very much Mr. Ren and Til for your speeches." As Mr. Til said, and I'm sure you've all heard about the company's decision to appoint me as the head of the Pacific region. In today's meeting, in addition to officially announcing this decision, we also want to discuss with you the market strategy and planning of Zhongqin Piano for the Australia and New Zealand region in 2020 after the merger of the Schwartz piano brand. ”
Discussions continued until mid-6 p.m. After that, Xiao Zhengyun invited Til Mueller and his colleagues to dinner.
"Our marketing department in Sydney is basically responsible for some offline activities, as well as related cooperation with traditional media. The strategy and execution of online digital marketing has been outsourced to a local marketing agency in Sydney, and the contract will expire in February next year, and we are still waiting for your instructions as to whether we will continue to renew with them," Til said, spreading fresh raw pork puree on bread, topping with raw onions and sprinkling some salt.
And the two colleagues next to Til seemed to be surprised by his very German way of eating. They eat their plate very calmly, oblivious to the fresh pork.
"At present, my assistant Zhang Qing has also contacted several local agencies in Sydney that provide digital marketing strategy and execution services, and together with the agency we are currently using, we will select a partner to launch the 2020 Schwartz piano brand online campaign and promotion. This will also be a key focus of my work when I arrive in Sydney. Xiao Zhengyun put down the tableware in his hand, leaned towards Til, and said seriously.
Til also put down the knife and fork in his hand, and leaned towards Xiao Zhengyun at the same time, and also sounded seriously. Then, he, Xiao Zhengyun and other colleagues present raised their beer glasses together to wish the cooperation in 2020 a smooth one.
