Chapter 121: A New Beginning

After Zhao Ying left, Scarface rested for a while, went out to exercise, and after taking a bath, he started the most important activity of the day with his brother. The two of them chatted while mobilizing their emotions.

"I look at this Zhao Ying very well, I like it a lot."

"Hmm. We met when we were in college, and the first time I changed jobs, she recruited me, and the relationship was very strong. ”

"I met when I was in college, and I have a good relationship, will the two of you have a story?"

"Eat dry vinegar, we are completely pure friends."

"If you don't believe it, at least you're not pure."

"Believe it or not, hey, you see, if you two stand together, it's amazing."

"What's wrong?"

"You look like she's two years old. Haha..."

"You're laughing at me for being fat, aren't you? Let you laugh at me, let you laugh at me......"

"Okay, okay, make so much effort, the skin has been pulled off."

"And say pure, look at her, you are like this again."

"You have framed me again. See that I don't clean you up, you have done your own sins, bear them yourself. “

"I'm afraid of you. Come on. Ahh “

……

Two days later, Zhao Ying recommended a position to Scarface, which is the leader of the Japanese consumer electronics industry, and the world's top 500 companies are all very high Shan Pu Group.

The Yamapu Bincheng branch is a joint venture with the Bincheng Public Utility Bureau, with the Japanese side accounting for 80% of the shares and the Chinese side holding 20% of the shares, and all the decisions are made by the Japanese side.

All multinational companies in the consumer electronics category must invest in Bincheng in joint ventures with central enterprises under government departments.

In the light industry, it is only a matter of how many shares it occupies, as well as the first and second light bureaus, the public utility bureau, and the automobile industry.

Among them, the lowest 5% and the highest 49%, depending on the role of the Chinese side, in short, the foreign enterprise must occupy the majority of the shares, the management rights and management rights are in the hands of foreign capital, and the Chinese side only contributes capital and dividends.

Shanpu Group Bincheng Branch, mainly engaged in four categories of products, LCD TV, mobile phone, audio, air conditioning.

In the previous year, sales amounted to tens of billions of yuan, 90% of which were exported to all over the world, and only 10% were sold in China.

Last year, the general manager was replaced, and then a purchasing manager was transferred from Japan, and it is said that he is also a very powerful person in Japan.

In March of this year, a development and purchasing section was established, but it has not been able to recruit suitable people, and it is required that the Japanese language must be at a quasi-business level and have more than three years of purchasing work experience.

But one thing is that they are arrogant, and all the people who go in must start from the bottom.

General staff, that is, in charge, are divided into four levels, from L1 to L4, and then to section chief and deputy minister, from M1 to M4.

The deputy minister and deputy general manager are all sent from the Chinese joint venture party, and it is said that they have no actual power, but they prefer to brush their presence, which is quite annoying.

After listening to Zhao Ying's introduction, Scarface didn't want to go, anyway, he was also a vice president level person in a listed company, and suddenly became an engineer level, which made him still have a big gap in his heart.

But there has been no other opportunity in the past month or so, this newly established department, it is quite interesting to hear the name, go try it first, and then look for it.

In late September, Scarface went to the Yamapu Group for an interview, and the first meeting was that the purchasing minister was Japanese, and two vice ministers, one Japanese and one Chinese.

The questions asked by the purchasing minister are very professional and tricky, but he doesn't speak very clearly, and he has some big tongues, and if Scarface's Japanese is good enough, it would be difficult to understand his questions.

Scarface estimates that he hasn't found a suitable one for more than half a year, which should also be related to the minister's slurred words. No one else understood the question he asked, and of course the answer was messy.

But for Scarface, as long as he speaks Japanese, that's fine. The day after the interview, I received a notice that the second interview was the general manager interview, which was scheduled for September 27.

During the interview, the Japanese general manager was very satisfied with Scarface, but the Chinese deputy general manager kept making things difficult.

The questions are all very irrelevant questions, are you married, do you have children? Why not have children? I worked in an accounting firm, so is it okay for you to go to the finance department? How many years are you going to work with us?

In short, Scarface felt that the question was not level, and he couldn't help but answer, which made Scarface very annoyed and had to pretend to be very respectful.

In the end, Scarface was a little impatient, and he asked this and that for such a position, he immediately made a request, since it was a newly established class, then he had to start from the section leader.

The deputy general manager immediately stopped asking questions, behaved arrogantly, and said, that is impossible, Shanpu does not have this precedent, it seems that today is really a waste of time.

But the general manager was suddenly very interested, and his eyes were opened slightly, and then he asked the head of the personnel department next to him, who had not spoken, to call the head of the procurement department, Mizuno, and said that he would re-interview according to the level of the section manager.

To Scarface's surprise, it felt like he was joking, and after two minutes, Minister Mizuno and the head of the Personnel Division arrived in the conference room.

The general manager said, everyone is very busy, let's go and do their own work, and I will talk to Minister Mizuno with him.

In fact, it is to ask the deputy general manager, the head of the personnel department, and the general manager to translate back, because it is too wasteful of time to have to translate for them.

Scarface can be seen from this arrangement, and the general manager is actually very disrespectful to the vice president, which is rare among the Japanese.

Japanese people pay special attention to superficial skills when dealing with others, and even if they don't look down on them, they will speak politely and make you feel comfortable on the surface.

Scarface can tell from the questions asked by the general manager and minister of the Japanese side during the interview that in fact, their recruitment goal is to find a more capable manager.

It is estimated that those deputy positions on the Chinese side always like to use the employment experience of some state-owned enterprises, first hon, then familiarize, and then be promoted, so they will be very impatient with the boring questions of the vice president.

When a few inconsequential people had gone out, the general manager suddenly spoke twice as fast as he had just now, and became more colloquial.

He said, I'll give you fifteen minutes, and you can convince the two of us why you can be qualified for the position of section chief as soon as you arrive in Shanpu.

Scarface wasn't prepared for this, but quickly adjusted it and began to list reasons, and finally added.

Procurement work, negotiation ability is an important skill, and now I am negotiating with the general manager and the minister.

If I can't convince the two leaders, then I'm not qualified to do the job. After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and nodded slightly at Scarface as a sign of encouragement.

First of all, this is a newly established department, so everything is new, so it doesn't matter how much work experience you have in the company.

It is possible that the more you understand the company, the easier it is to be limited by inherent thinking and not be able to give full play to your abilities. So I'm a newcomer and an old employee who has been working for more than ten years, and I have an advantage.

I have worked in quality management, and it took me less than a year to become a section manager from inspector to section manager, which shows that I am capable of the position of section manager.

I have also worked as the procurement manager for two years, and I am still very familiar with the basic work of procurement. These are all the contents of Scarface's revised resume, and he just emphasized it again.

Secondly, looking at the questions asked by Minister Mizuno during the last interview with me, I can tell that Minister Mizuno is an innovator and needs someone with a new way of thinking to take charge of this business.

In addition to working in the manufacturing industry, I have also worked as a consultant for more than a year, and I have been in contact with dozens of companies, and I have an advantage over many people in terms of work vision.

And as a consultant, you need to have a comprehensive range of knowledge and skills. In terms of philosophy and working methods, I am more qualified to be in charge of this business.

Nomura is also famous all over the world, and I think the two leaders are also very clear about the ability of the people they need. I have experience working there, so I don't think there is a better fit for me in terms of job improvement.

Thirdly, it will be very difficult to promote new business, after all, as long as it is reformed, it will be opposed and criticized by most people.

In this way, it is necessary to have the courage and ability to promote this work, and if it is only a person at the level of responsibility, then most of the work can only be promoted by the minister or deputy minister.

I think at the very least, there needs to be a person at the level of section chief, who can directly face the section heads and even the heads of other departments, so that the work can be promoted more efficiently and the work can be truly shared for the ministers.

Finally, I can see that this job requires a lot of Japanese, and I think my Japanese level should be able to meet the requirements.

As a non-Japanese major, I have only studied in Japan for half a year, and I can see that my Japanese language can reach the level I am now.

The general manager asked, our company recruits people from the first place, there is no precedent for directly recruiting managers.

First of all, you will be given the highest level of responsibility, and if you meet the requirements in April next year, you will be promoted to section chief. Generally, for your age and qualifications, we all start from L2 level, and now we give you L4 level, do you think it's okay?

I feel that if I start at the level of responsibility, it is the company that loses, not me. I need to have a suitable identity for the promotion of my work, and if I do it at the level of section chief, the same job may be sped up by several months.

Because if I am a section chief, I can solve most of the problems by myself, but if I promote it at the level of responsibility, I need the help of Minister Mizuno, which increases the work burden of the minister and reduces the efficiency of the whole work.

Besides, if I was recruited on an exceptional basis, everyone knows that the minister and the general manager are watching my performance.

At the same time, all the people who need to cooperate with me are within the scope of attention of the minister and the general manager, and everyone has a sense of awe for this work, and the work efficiency has naturally improved.

If I just go for a step-by-step promotion, I might lose some of that advantage. The company's annual procurement volume is more than 6 billion, and I still don't know the amount of negotiable purchases.

For example, if there are only 3 billion, and there are more than 200 million a month, according to the price reduction of 5%, the amount of price reduction in a month is 10 million.

Efficiency determines speed, and the sooner we finish a month, the more we reduce the price, and this work is a race against time.

Directly promoted me to section chief, the company only lost breaking the convention, and if I didn't qualify, it would only pay a few thousand yuan more in wages.

But it is possible to get millions of profits, and I think this kind of thing is still necessary to do.

In addition, if I am directly promoted to section chief, I can also let others see that this is not a seniority, and capable people can be promoted exceptionally.

Then everyone's enthusiasm for work will also be stimulated, and it will be beneficial to the company without harm, isn't it worth it?

After Scarface finished speaking, Minister Mizuno and the general manager applauded at the same time, and the general manager said, "You have strong negotiation skills, and I agreed."

Go back and wait for the notice, I don't want to hear that we hired you and you chose a different company. I can guarantee that if you are very capable, your prospects here will surpass that of any Japanese company.

The day before the eleventh holiday, Scarface received an offer from Shanpu Company, and the position given to him by Shanpu was the head of the development and purchase section, and the salary was five thousand before tax.

This is not high in 2005, but it is not low, at least at the upper middle level of Japanese companies. If you're in the manufacturing industry, that's a very high starting salary.

The offer was notified to him by Zhao Ying, and the headhunting company where Zhao Ying worked would also charge Shanpu three times Scarface's monthly salary as a service fee.

In mid-September, just a few days after Scarface left Pengyu, the accounting firm he cooperated with Sun Jiuyue, the Zero Zero Accounting Firm, officially began operation.

Several of the businesses introduced by Scarface are mainly bookkeeping, followed by annual audit reports and other daily services.

Of course, Sanyou and Lao Jia's Bindesheng have become zero-zero customers, and they also pay service fees in accordance with the regulations.

Anyway, I used to let other financial companies act as agents, but now I have my own company, and of course the fertilizer can't flow out.

Then there are some of Murata's original suppliers, as well as some small companies that I knew when I worked at Nomura, if Nomura's service fees were too high, they all became zero customers, adding up to fifty or sixty small customers.

Sun Jiuyue's side, through the relationship of the family, has attracted more than 100 customers, all of whom are mainly based on the most basic agency bookkeeping.

There are only two relatively large ones, and they need to be provided with listing counseling, as well as comprehensive services such as finance, auditing, and taxation.

At present, the business volume of the two people combined, the annual turnover is about three million, and Scarface's business is one-fifth.

Two people are calculated according to the business volume, and it is necessary to recruit three general financial personnel who act as bookkeepers, and two experienced middle and senior accountants at the project manager level.

Brother Lian returned to Taiyuan in late September, went back to get the household registration book, and was ready to register his marriage at any time, and the original plan was to come back before the November holiday.

But he didn't come back, and Scarface didn't answer the phone, and Scarface was busy with Sun Jiuyue in the past two days, so he didn't take it seriously.

When the eleventh holiday came, Brother Tethered hadn't come back yet, and he didn't answer the phone, Scarface felt that something was wrong, and there wouldn't be any accidents.

So he called Niandi, and finally Niandi told him that his brother had run away from home. Because when I lived with that boyfriend before, I took too many birth control pills, so I can't get pregnant now, and I feel sorry for Scarface, so I don't want to delay each other anymore.

This news caught Scarface off guard, and frantically called Brother Tie. In the end, Brother Tethered sent a text message, saying that he hoped Scarface would give her time to be quiet, and that she loved life, so she wouldn't look for a short-term view.

It's just that he can't deprive Scarface of his qualifications to be a father because of his own problems, so I hope Scarface can forget about her and start a new life.

When Brother Tethered was in August, he once told Scarface why he hadn't been pregnant for so long and wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Scarface didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that both of them were in good health and there was no need to go for a checkup. I checked it once when I was with Xie Tingting, and it was completely normal, but he couldn't say it directly, so he refused. Unexpectedly, after returning to Taiyuan, he did an examination by himself.
