Chapter 68: Nirvana: New Life

For most of the six months before and after I left Meilu, I worked as the general manager of an investment company in Nanchang, and the chairman of the company was also one of my many front rows in Nanchang. November 2008 was a difficult time after I left Meilu, as the relationship between the company's major shareholder and second shareholder began to deteriorate sharply, and the company finally moved towards restructuring. After the new chairman took office, almost all employees had to leave because of the change in the company's business strategy. In fact, I already knew the final outcome of the company, in addition to being busy fighting with Zhu Ansheng, the rest of the thing was to continue to dismiss the company's employees, starting from the most basic sales and customer service, until finally I fired myself. The former chairman still had 20 million yuan of bank funds in his hands at that time, but out of prudence, he still did not dare to invest in new projects, and the company's management team finally failed to keep it, and I was distressed by the previous chairman and me. Circle Mom was also one of the employees who was fired by me, and she had been working as an HR assistant in the company before that, leaving half a month earlier than me. At that time, we still had a mortgage to pay, and the two of us left our jobs back and forth, and had a very difficult time financially.

And the relationship with the Atlantic Air Direct Purchase Network is the story that happened at this time. In the process of re-applying for a job, I applied for this online company mainly engaged in "e-commerce", at that time, Atlantic Air Direct Shopping Network had only been established for more than a year, and the monthly sales were only hundreds of thousands of yuan. The most impressive thing is the interview, and the company's chairman Mr. Tang finally commented on me: this social comprehensive talent is the most rare, but the comprehensive talent is also the most difficult to locate! He has been inviting me to join and serve as the company's vice president of operations, and for this reason, he also gave me an account and a title so that I can experience the website, but because the company's monthly basic salary of 3,000 yuan is too low to support my monthly basic expenses at that time, I still did not choose to join the company.

Although I didn't join, I was still impressed by Atlantic's business model at the time. Of course, I am still quite impressed by Mr. Tang's concept, ability, charm and sharpness of analysis problems, although I later joined other companies, but the contact with Mr. Tang has been ongoing. Until July and August 2009, whenever I returned to Nanchang, I would go to the headquarters of Atlantic to sit down with Mr. Tang for tea. It was a later thing for the Atlantic to operate more and more pyramidal, and the Atlantic has not been very well funded in terms of funds. As my situation in Suzhou became more and more stable, it became more and more unrealistic to join Atlantic, and I finally no longer had any contact with Mr. Tang. A few days ago, I had another text message with Mr. Tang, and he proudly told me that today's Atlantic is already a worldwide marketing topic, and I know that another MLM has been born. When the boss of a company starts to inflate himself and has no exit mechanism, tragedy is not far away!

In December 2008, I joined a well-known pharmaceutical group in Jiangxi Province and became a trainer in the group's human resources department, mainly responsible for the special training of the group's second entrepreneurship. Less than three months after joining the company, I found that I was inexplicably blocked by my immediate boss, Deputy Director Tan of the Group's Human Resources Department. For three months, I didn't have a single formal training, and all the work proposals and work results were like mud cows. Another deputy director of the group's human resources department once told me privately that just before I joined the company, Deputy Director Tan had warned my colleagues in the department not to have any horizontal or direct working relationship with me. I finally made a decision that shocked the whole group, and because of this decision, it attracted the attention of some of the group's executives. In the days that followed, I served as the master of ceremonies for the group's 5,000-person annual meeting, wrote the annual work summary for the group's senior executives, and the group's market research report I wrote was also submitted to the president step by step.

This is a large company with 7,600 employees, annual sales of more than 3 billion yuan, and Chinese patent medicine ranks among the top in the country. Whenever I find myself unable to move forward, I choose to go backwards, and backwards are to make great strides in the future. In this way, I delegated myself to the Suzhou branch of the group and became a commercial representative in charge of channel maintenance, and no one knew who I was, let alone what kind of story I had had. Every day, the wind comes and goes in the rain, and I suffer from the white eyes of others. I had already bought a new car, and in order to pay for the 1,200 yuan taxi ticket I received a monthly reimbursement, I even had to go to the Wujiang bus station below Suzhou every week to rummage through the garbage bins......

Half a year later, the president of the group's northern subsidiary proposed to transfer me to be her deputy, with an annual salary of not less than 400,000 yuan. At the end of December 2009, in order to stay in Suzhou, I gave up the opportunity to transfer to another branch and chose to resign again. Work without passion will ruin your life, money, future or a happy good mood, if you have worked hard, your future still does not see any hope, it is better to leave as soon as possible. I was 35 years old at the time, and the only thing that was scarce was time. If you can't get back on your feet before the age of 40, you may really have no chance in this life. Meilu, I have wasted too much precious youth, time is running out, I have to live well for myself and my family, and I still can't let my gray-haired, cancer-stricken father completely put his mind at ease. The art of life is not only the art of choice, but also the art of giving up many times!

Later, I went to a well-known restaurant group as the director of Chinese food operations, and after more than a month of baptism of imperial power, I have now become the marketing director of this Shanghai-based investment group. Although everything is not very satisfactory, life has finally begun to stabilize, I have a car and a house, and I have taken my circle mother to Suzhou, and everything in the future seems to have begun to dawn......

In the legendary Heavenly Kingdom, there is a kind of sacred bird, the male is the phoenix, and the female is the phoenix. After reaching the age of 500, he collected fragrant wood**, reborn from the ashes, and since then it has been delicious and abnormal, and he will no longer die. In the old translation of Buddhism, it is also called "nirvana", which generally refers to the state after the extinguishment of the cycle of birth and death, which is the highest ideal to be achieved in all Buddhist practice.

I still remember the conversation with my classmate Wang Dong on the eve of my graduation from college more than ten years ago, and looking back on my four-year debate and speech career, we finally found that language is always pale and weak! Society is not a competition, and there is no so-called referee, the so-called disease comes from the mouth, and the disaster comes from the mouth, we all have to learn to be cautious in words and deeds. A few days later, the students went their separate ways, and I also came to the post of internal tour guide of Tianjin CTS. For a whole year, somehow, the former eloquent eloquence became no longer even clear. Facing the fears of society, it was the second major turning point in my life.

Time has passed, and after five years of travel and seven years of American roads, I have returned to the road of the workplace. As a former senior trainer of the pharmaceutical group, he suddenly found that he couldn't even speak so smoothly, neither fluent nor rigorous, and no longer as confident as he used to be on stage. Perhaps, whenever life begins to take a violent turn, the confusion of moving forward always ties you up, walking a new road and thinking about the old road, enduring the huge gap in your heart, being forced by reality to return to zero, and regaining your position in life. Just like a caterpillar wants to turn into a butterfly, it must first cocoon itself before it can break out of the cocoon. This process, the process of reintegrating into mainstream society after seven years of isolation from the United States, is actually very painful, but if you decide not to step into the same river in this life, you must face it. I left the beauty road for two years, and this road has also been walked for two years. The road continues......

Speeches need truth, and debates need logic. After seven years of baptism in the United States, I began to slowly realize that perhaps the highest level of training is - the spirit runs through Changhong, and the canopy disappears between talking and laughing! This requires rich life experience, wisdom, self-confidence, and the courage to fight against the odds and the courage to survive in a desperate situation, just like the life after the beautiful road, just like the phoenix nirvana!

Nirvana is reborn! Nirvana is breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly! Nirvana is rebirth from the ashes! Although, it hurts, it hurts......
