040 A tumultuous 2008
Despite the persuasion of general manager Zheng Lichen, he still failed to change Ankang's determination to resign. Zheng Lichen had no choice but to initiate the process of employee resignation to the headquarters and wait for the approval of the headquarters.
On the day of his resignation, Ankang came to work at the company after three poles in the sun. Since then, he has always enforced the law impartially, almost commuting to and from work on time like a model worker.
On this day, Ankang was sorting out the files and computer materials that needed to be handed over before resigning in the office, and Wu Mo walked in.
"Are you really going to quit?" Wu Mo asked.
"yes." Ankang pointed to the files piled up on his desk and said, "It's good to resign, otherwise these files will rot if they are not organized." β
Wu Mo pursed his lips and said, "If it's rotten, it's rotten." Since they are going to rot, it means that this is their fate. β
"Stella, I didn't know you believed in fatalism."
Wu Mo raised his eyes and said: "This is not fatalism, I believe that gold will shine wherever it is, and talents will stand out wherever it is." β
"Do you mean something else?"
Wu Mo smiled: "Well, yes." I'm talking about you. β
"Thank you for your comfort. This sentence does have a healing effect for a person who is about to roll up. β
"I'm not a spiritual master, and I don't heal people's hearts. I'll just say this casually, isn't this just a clichΓ© to a colleague who has resigned. β
An Kang also smiled and said, "I'm much more down-to-earth when I hear you say that." I was nervous when I heard your first few words, and I always wondered if there was some conspiracy behind those few good words. β
"You're so unkind to me?"
"It's not. Where do you dare? I've always been unwanted by you. β
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. After you're gone, there's no one to get in my way, and I can finally be happy. Anyway, why are you leaving? β
"Do you really want to ask or do you want to taunt me a few more words before you leave?" An Kang asked.
Wu Mo said: "Is my impression in your mind so bad? What do we have a deep hatred? You're leaving, and I'm still looking for pleasure with you? I really asked. Why go? Didn't you do a good job? β
Ankang didn't answer immediately, but took out a paper cup and put a coffee bag into it, poured more than half a cup of boiling water into it, pushed it to Wu Mo and said, "I know you don't like this way of drinking." However, this coffee tastes okay. It is bitter in the mouth, but it leaves a faint sweetness after swallowing. β
Wu Mo was noncommittal, and her body moved forward slightly, indicating that she had already smelled the aroma of coffee. As for whether to drink or not, it depends on her mood. Then Wu Mo looked at An Kang with a slight smile on his face.
Ankang blew the coffee very inelegantly on his own, and said in a sip, "It's like drinking coffee." Some people drink bitter, and some people drink sweet. The coffee is still the same coffee, it hasn't changed. Whether it is sweet or bitter lies in the state of mind of the person who tastes it. β
Wu Mo continued to be noncommittal, she didn't understand, but she knew that this was an opening sentence that would be explained later.
However, Ankang did not explain the purpose of this opening line, but said: "If I said that the reason why I quit my job was because Lao Tzu didn't want to work here, what would you think?" β
Wu Mo didn't expect her to wait for such a sentence, and said, "Isn't this your style?" β
An Kang smiled and said, "Okay, okay." I'm leaving anyway, so I'll tell you what I really think. After we exited, the company went out of business. You know that, too. Of course, it didn't completely fall, but it almost collapsed. This incident touched me a lot. β
Wu Mo said: "I know. β
"You know one thing, you don't know the other. I'm not disagreeing with the company because I did this project, I'm because the company is a project that has a significant impact on China's electronics manufacturing industry. We only let a company that has a positive effect on the country's industry go out of business for our own risk-averse. That's the real reason I quit. β
"Our company is a foreign company and has no obligations for the industrial development of China."
"But we are Chinese." Ankang pointed to Wu Mo, pointed to himself, and then pointed to the direction of the general manager's office.
"I understand. But you don't make sense logically. In the business ......"
"Stella, I know what you're going to say. Mr. Zheng also said that what national feelings should not be integrated into project investment. I understand that. So be prepared to quit your job, and then be ready to find a job that can integrate national feelings into project investment. β
"Okay. That's it. I wish you all the best! After speaking, Wu Mo got up and walked out of the office.
"Thank you!" As soon as Ankang's words fell, Wu Mo turned around and came back, reached out to Ankang's desk and picked up the cup of coffee.
Ankang said: "If you don't drink it, don't pour it, take it back and I'll drink it." β
"I'll drink. Anyway, it was the last cup of coffee you gave me. β
Wu Mo left, leaving behind the kind of charming smile that made An Kang uneasy and made people have some kind of conspiracy theory.
Ankang solemnly wrote an email to the headquarters, which contained his research and judgment on the recent economic situation and the risk warning of some projects of Bristel & Time China. The general idea is to reduce investment in virtual economy projects, reduce investment in projects with poor cash flow in the next year, and intervene in real economy project investment on dips. And once again, the TMT project is the top priority, and the TMT project will definitely form explosive growth in recent years.
Of course, because of the experience of the last time, Ankang did not have much expectations for this email. This reminded him of the story of Shang Ying.
Shang Ying was a subordinate of Gongsun Xuan, the minister of Wei. Gongsun knew that Shang Ying was a sage like Li Kui and Wu Qi, but he was afraid that Shang Ying would threaten his position all his life and never recommended him. When Gongsun Yan was about to die, he praised Shang Ying's talent to the King of Wei and recommended the reuse of Shang Ying, if the King of Wei really didn't want to use this person, he would kill him. The King of Wei did not take Gongsun Acne's advice. After that, Gongsun Yan told Shang Ying about this, saying that he had persuaded the king of Wei to kill him, and persuaded Shang Yang to flee from Wei immediately. Shang Ying calmly said to Gongsun Acne that since the King of Wei did not listen to Your Excellency's words and reused me, he will definitely not listen to Your Excellency's words and kill me. The result was exactly what Shang Yang expected.
It is the employee's duty to speak to the company, but whether the company listens is another matter.
In the end, Ankang waited for an enthusiastic but evasive reply email from several colleagues at the headquarters.
Ankang disagreed, but he didn't care either.
It was a turbulent year for the world economy in 2008. People often drift with the flow in such great upheavals, and it is difficult to know what is happening, let alone what to do about it. Since then, the quantitative easing policies that have been launched in various countries have had a series of effects on the economy.
But in 2008, the vast majority of people were still confused.
Sometimes things appear to be deceptive, and this confusion is deeply hidden, and sometimes even in strong contrasts. It makes people sink deeper and deeper.
