Chapter 4 Parallel work search and travel

After introducing both sides of the company's personnel, we went straight to the main topic.

Personnel: Mr. Sun, let's go into chronological order first, and then I'll talk to you in detail. My two jobs in Australia are also for students, do you mean local students?

Sun Han: Let me first introduce you to two companies in Australia, which happen to be different in nature. The first is a large multinational group with a tourism background, with branches in almost every capital city in Australia and New Zealand, although it does tourism, it also receives student teams, and develops to set up a special section to do international research business in the middle and later stages, mainly for Chinese students. When I joined the second company, I was still a start-up, a research and camp education customer, such as the daily meeting including local students, holidays and peak seasons are mainly for domestic students, there are also a wealth of international research and international camp products.

HR: You mentioned research products. Australia is also a region rich in natural resources, I wonder if the products you made before focused on nature education?

Sun Han: Nature education you mentioned is one of the topics you have done before, including English training and real classrooms with a large audience in the past few years, as well as geography and geology, which is of course a part of nature education, as well as science and technology themes, financial themes, and outdoor themes including many hands-on practical topics.

Personnel: Okay, the research director we are recruiting is equivalent to the person in charge of the overall research section of the subsidiary, and reports directly to the general manager, we hope that the projects at home and abroad have been involved, I see that your experience is more overseas, I don't know if there are some resources in China?

Sun Han: In fact, although sometimes we say that Confucius's travels around the world is the beginning of research, but the actual modern research and camp education can be regarded as a product of the West, starting from the United States There are 150-160 years, I think since I have lived overseas for 12 years, the contact with research is relatively early, and the domestic policy level in this regard has been supported for several years, but the actual level may still be regarded as a period of development, is on the rise, I think the concept of many things at home and abroad are common, especially when it comes to the essence of education. In terms of curriculum pedagogy and so on, many Western ways of thinking can be integrated, and at this point, I personally feel that more overseas experience will be helpful to assist in making products, whether it is international or domestic products in the future. In addition, domestic or international, just the destination is different, like my personal experience in China, I was born in Beijing, I went to Tianjin with my parents at the age of 10, and I spent almost every winter and summer vacation in Shanghai before the second year of high school, and I have also experienced these different cities, so I also have a certain confidence in the differences in urbanization and the refinement of urbanization characteristics. You just mentioned that in terms of domestic resources, I think the resource side should also be divided into two types: upstream resources and downstream customer channel resources. In terms of upstream resources, with the help of some personal experience, including friends in the tourism industry, there is a certain reserve. In terms of downstream customers, after all, I have just returned to China, and I really don't have much foundation, of course, this aspect also depends on your company's future planning, such as whether you want to start from students within the group, or expand other schools at the same time, I think it can also be promoted with time.

Personnel: Thank you for your detailed and honest communication. Then I don't have any other questions on my side for the time being, because you were pushed by a headhunter, and we will reply to you through a headhunter later, and we will probably get in touch with you again within this week.

Sun Han: Okay, thank you for your time.

Personnel: Then don't delay your time, we're here today, thank you.

Sun Han: Thank you, 88 first.

After about half an hour of communication, Sun Han immediately sent feedback to the headhunter, and also talked about his feelings, waiting for the feedback again.

The matter on the work side came to an end, and Sun Han immediately sent WeChat to Zhang Lan, maybe it was really a habit that had been formed a long time ago, many things, the first thing that came to mind was to share it with Zhang Lan.

......

Looking at Zhang Lan's side again, since she returned to Beijing at noon on Sunday, she didn't have time to adjust too much, and the sudden PPT emergency plan on Sunday afternoon disrupted the plan to rest. It's been 1 year since I returned to China, and I went straight to my parents' hometown - Chengdu, in a subsidiary of an education group that does K12 education and training, because I am responsible for the B-end business, I have been in a state of frequent business trips for the past 1 year. Although it is called the head of the To B business, it is actually a role that is not small, and even a light commander, who does not have his own independent team for the time being, and is still in the state of recruitment, but the direct reporting object is a person who is not from an educational background and is stationed in a subsidiary of the group. So, just like a temporary task on Sunday, it's another thing that was thrown over, and it's obviously not urgent.

Beijing, a temporary residence for business trips.

Zhang Lan just entered the door not long ago, and when she saw Sun Han's picture of Gao Leya, she couldn't help but reply with a smile: "I didn't feel cherished when I was in Australia, how about the taste of this house?" Almost at the same time, I received a WeChat message from the vice president of the company, saying that there was a PPT to be done for the comparative analysis of the customer portraits of students in various campuses of the group, and I was quite anxious. Some hung their heads, unscrewed the cap of the drink bottle, and took a sip, Zhang Lan had no choice but to open the laptop immediately. Although she also knows that the No. 2 person in the company has always been like this, every time he will politely exaggerate and urge to chase something that is not in a hurry.

On the laptop screen, the company's internal PPT template is directly applied, while viewing the data of some internal research that I have done when I first joined the company, I input it on the PPT, and add some pie charts, fishbone charts, etc. for comparison and display...... At the moment when his fingers were flying and beating, a sound from WeChat turned out to be Sun Han's response: "Have you arrived in Beijing?" Anyway, this one is better than yesterday's. It's a pity that I have to step up my work, so I have to reply in seconds: "It's here, it's here, hey, I'm going to PPT quickly, and I'm going to add something temporary." Sure enough, I received another "come on" emoji from Sun Han on WeChat.

......

Fortunately, such a task was completed in just over 2 hours. Look at the time, I came back from noon, and I didn't have time to eat. Since I know the vice president's habits, although I have completed the PPT, I am not in a hurry to send it. On this Sunday in early April, Beijing was a little cloudy with a slight breeze of nearly 20 degrees, which was the most suitable weather. I simply went out, found a store nearby, and enjoyed afternoon tea quietly.

In the store, swiping his mobile phone, he was catching up with his boyfriend Ke, who was far away in Australia

and look at the dialog box, as if it were just a routine greeting. I can't tell what the emotion is, I just put my phone on the table and continue to sip my coffee. I seem to think of a lot of studying, living and working experience in Australia for a while; At the end of 2007, I met Sun Han and has been helping each other all the way to the present; Since 2009 with Ke

Together, even in Australia, each other is in a state of frequent business trips, year after year, wanting to come to Ke

It's been 2 years since I got engaged, and after returning to China in 2018, I haven't been with Ke yet

After meeting, think about the current state of the two parties, as if it is just a nominal relationship, and it is getting farther and farther away; Thinking of the one-year work after returning to China, Zhang Lan felt that she might have been smoothed out a lot......

Thinking of my journey, going abroad at the suggestion of my parents, returning to China at the suggestion of my parents, and joining the field of education and training under the advice of my parents, it is actually quite smooth and stable, but it seems that there is no breakthrough, and there are almost no waves, is it really good? What is the level of the so-called breakthrough to be accepted? I remembered my work and looked at the time again, and it was almost time to go back and send the PPT.

Temporary accommodation in Beijing.

Sure enough, as in the past, I sent a PPT, and I only got a short two letters OK, no revisions, no other further news, Zhang Lan estimated that it was a splash that didn't make a sound, and it sank directly, maybe a few months later, I suddenly remembered, and started a new round of modification and sending. While thinking about it, he shook his head helplessly, and began to prepare for an educational fair that he would attend the next Monday. I have to pack my things quickly, and I will fly back to Chengdu on Monday evening.

For Zhang Lan, Monday is the task of going to the education exhibition for most of the day, although there is no booth, but as the head of the TO B business of a large listed education group's education and training subsidiary, it is also an opportunity to develop. In some noisy exhibitions, the flow of people passing shoulders is so hot. Maybe everyone has similar thoughts, walking back and forth a few times, only to find that there are not many school representatives, more from companies like themselves, especially representatives of study abroad institutions, who are full of interspersed and fast.

Anyone who has been in the field of education, especially in the K12 field, most of them know that they are a private education group, although they are the representatives of the education and training subsidiary, after all, they have the background of the group, and in the eyes of others, it means that there are a large number of ready-made students.

Because of the evening plane, I had to rush to the capital airport 2 hours in advance, and I finally had a moment of respite. I finally had time to pick up my mobile phone, but there was no news from the company, and the top position on WeChat was still Sun Han's information. Zhang Lan hurriedly replied: "It's too coincidental, I just mentioned it on Saturday, the headhunter has come to the door, how do you think of communicating today?" The other party replied in seconds: "It's okay to talk to personnel, but it's just a reserve post, I also want to contact it first, they are not in a hurry, and I plan to reply to Shanghai tomorrow." ”

Zhang Lan continued in the dialog box of WeChat: "Well, I'm on the way to the airport, flying in the evening." A line immediately flashed at the dialog box: "You hurry up and rest, you've been busy for most of the day, don't face your phone, so as not to get motion sickness, and talk for a while." Zhang Lan knew that Sun Han was this slightly strong and caring character, so she couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Okay." I put down my phone for the time being.

More than half an hour later, the moment she got out of the car, the breeze was blowing with coldness, and the temperature dropped by a few degrees, Zhang Lan couldn't help but shiver, quickly took her luggage, and walked into the airport.
