Chapter 5: Mona Lisa
The morning training ended on time at 11:30, not much in a minute, and it is estimated that the leaders have a social meeting at noon. The afternoon class didn't start until half past two, saying that it was set aside for everyone to take a lunch break, but we didn't like the leaders who could drive home, or have a spring dream in the rest room in their own office after a full meal, how to arrange such a long time became a problem for us.
The few of us who don't live too close don't want to go home for dinner at noon, so we wasted on the road under the scorching sun, and decided to find a nearby shop to solve the problem. The Mona Lisa Chinese and Western restaurant downstairs of the company has a quiet environment, the quality of the waiters is high, the price is also affordable, and the most important thing is that the air conditioning effect is good. The waiter here will bring you the tea or water and ashtray you need at the right time after you finish eating, which is very convenient for a few of us to pass the time here.
I have had such an experience, in other small shops, especially at noon, when the business is still relatively good, if you order so many dishes, and sit there after eating, the boss's face is mostly cloudy and gloomy; Then there will most likely be an uninvited waiter who will clean up the table, meaning that you will be urged to leave quickly so that you can get out of your seat. If you don't know how to pay the bill, you will find that you have been listed as persona non grata, and you don't believe that you call two waiters for tea, and they basically have poor ears, as if they are sleepwalking and busy with other things. These fast food restaurants are literally a "fast" word, and people urge you to leave before they finish eating.
Of course, it is the AA system, everyone ordered a 10 yuan claypot rice, and I asked for a braised pork ribs. Although it was only 10 yuan, it was still a luxurious lunch for those of us who had just joined the work, and except for Wang Jian, several of us scooped up the greasy and black pot at the bottom and ate it; I like bibimbap and eat pot rice, a habit I developed in the early 80s.
At that time, the economic transition had just begun, and Xingcheng, as the capital of the mainland, was still full of state-run grain stores, and food stamps were still popular. At that time, of course, there were no rice cookers, most of them were aluminum pots, and the most advanced point was pressure cookers. My family's famous brand Double Happiness brand pressure cooker is always made every three or five times to make the pot, at this time, most of the adults are always for the purpose of saving always say to our children: "The pot is the best, cure stomach pain", plus the pot itself is fragrant, naturally more delicious than those bitter pills, of course, our children are happy to eat the pot.
Recently, some media reported on the new effect of Guoba - it can cause cancer, but I still prefer to believe what my old grandmother said, first, she has eaten Guoba all her life and now has only a high blood pressure problem in her 80s; The second is that since I ate the pot, I have grown so big, and it seems that my stomach has really not hurt.
After the meal, Don Juan took out the betel nut of the ** master and distributed it to everyone, "Who else here has done advertising before?" Let's have a fight. ”
No one answered.
Huang Yue said, "That one named Zhao Wei seems to be from a miscellaneous TV station, so let's go back at noon today." ”
"It seems that only me and Don Juan have had previous experience in the industry," Qian Cheng interjected, "This is my previous business card, and we will communicate more in the future." As he spoke, he handed out a business card to each person. The business card is light blue, and there are several coconut trees printed on the background, which is very Hainanese.
I took it and took a look, and it said "Dare to be addicted" to stop the director. Don Juan also handed over one, with the same style, and he was actually the director of this addictive column.
"Hey, it turned out to be two leaders, disrespectful and disrespectful," although the situation of Hainan Provincial TV at that time may be similar to that of a city-level channel in our Chunan Province, and I have never seen this column, but I still have to be polite, "I will give more guidance in the future." ”
Wang Jian was more direct, "What is this column doing?" Have you ever heard about it? Both of you are directors, what are you doing when you come back to be a salesman? ”
"Why is it called the 'dare' category?" Peng Feng, who had been silent on the side, asked in a low voice, I actually just wanted to ask this.
"Did you come back to learn from the scriptures? Will you return to Hainan in the future? ”…… The people next to him were gossiping.
Qian Cheng laughed, obviously a little embarrassed by this series of questions, "Both of us grew up in Star City, we went to Hainan to study, and our relatives, friends and classmates are all in Star City, of course we still want to come back; Besides, now that the TV Hunan Army is so popular, there is a better chance of coming back. As for the meaning of 'dare to dare', it probably means brave and bold, and Hainan people like to say repetitive words, such as 'sweet', 'sour' and so on. ”
Speaking of which, Qian Cheng took out Bao Hainan's treasure island cigarettes and prepared to distribute them to everyone, but Wang Jian opened Bao Furong Wang's cigarettes and handed them over first, "Come back and answer to smoke Hunan cigarettes."
"Okay", Qian Cheng took the cigarette and continued, "What kind of cadres are not cadres, the director's title is printed by himself, and the advertising business of the miscellaneous columns is contracted by the two of us." ”
"The two of you went out so early, it seems that I will mess with you in the future......"
……
The afternoon training was actually Mr. Mo's class, and when I asked, I learned that he was the deputy general manager and director of the advertising department of Manggao Satellite TV. His lecture on the topic of "how to become a qualified advertising person" was still dogmatic, but his non-standard plastic Mandarin added to the atmosphere of entertainment. After all, it is a leader with front-line experience, and when he speaks, he can give one or two examples to prove it, which is more vivid than the content in the morning;
When it comes to examples, Mo always likes to say "fart fish", which means "for example", which caused a commotion in the audience, and a few of us couldn't help but want to laugh out loud after listening to him repeat it a few times. Lao Mo thought that people were moved by the content of his story and speech, so he stopped to give everyone his classic smile, the corners of his mouth were pulled, and his eyes were squeezed, which immediately added a bit of funny feeling to the venue......
Next, the leaders of other administrative, personnel, financial and other functional departments introduced the company's rules and regulations to us; Then there are a few so-called "business elites" with more advanced qualifications to introduce us to their brilliant achievements and practical combat treasures, and inject stimulants for those of us who are about to go to the front line.
Finally, there is a senior who looks like a macaque in the Star City Zoo to speak, if there is this brother as a model in the biology class of middle school, it is estimated that the students can better understand the knowledge that humans evolved from monkeys.
I sat in the back row and couldn't really see it, and a colleague next to me told me that this person was another vice president of the company, Mr. Zhang; I have the impression that he seems to be one of the three brothers in Journey to the West when I interviewed him. Mr. Zhang did not forget to tell us the "history of revolutionaries" and educate us to have an entrepreneurial spirit that can endure hardships and fight, which can be regarded as another shot of vaccine against all the "unexpected" times in the future.
