053 The Other Side of the Matter (1)
Before the intern was in place, Ankang couldn't use even three heads and six arms.
Although Ankang is the project manager of the project team, the other members of the project team are people from other companies. According to the style of "using women as men and men as animals" of Bristel & Schesta, Ankang is embarrassed to use it. Do it yourself, those basic information collection and data processing work really can't be taken into account.
And a lot of data processing needs to be solved by using VBA programming in Excel. Ankang was born in economics, not computer or mathematics, and programming, bug fixing, and testing are not his specialties at all. When it comes to more advanced modeling with data, the programming skills are even more tested.
In the past, when I was an intern and an investment analyst, Ankang could also learn and do at the same time. Because his job is relatively simple, he can be immersed in programming all day long like those IT engineers. Not now, most of the day is spent coordinating and communicating, and the rest is basically fragmented time, with no time for analyzing information and processing data.
The new intern, surnamed Zhao, is an alumnus of Anfu Dan University. Ankang didn't know that Xiao Zhao was his apprentice until the intern first participated in the investment project analysis meeting.
Zheng Lichen exhorted Xiao Zhao at the meeting: "You see, your senior An Kang was also an intern in our company at the beginning, and he has become an investment manager in just over a year. Xiao Zhao, you have to work hard. ”
Since then, Ankang has been shrouded in an aura of admiration by this junior brother involuntarily, unable to extricate himself.
Once An Kang said to his junior: "Xiao Zhao, don't listen to Mr. Zheng." You can't see thieves eating meat, and you can't see thieves being beaten. I'm not an official investment manager yet, I'm just doing the job of an investment manager. It's called letting the horses run and keeping the horses from grazing. ”
Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "Master, I have heard about your experience. ”
Ankang wondered: "What have you heard?" ”
"About the matter between you and Manager Wu. When you first arrived, she didn't like you very much and often suppressed you. In the end, you used your own strength to get her approval. ”
An Kang originally wanted to say, "Wu Mo didn't recognize me." But thinking about it, this didn't seem like a good thing for an intern, so he said, "Do your own thing and let others say it." ”
"Yes."
"Go your own way and let others have no way out." An Kang put down this sentence and turned away.
Leave the intern standing there puzzled.
This intern Xiao Zhao is not often close to Ankang because he is Ankang's apprentice at Fudan University, but because he is in the same situation as Ankang when he first came to the company, he is very disdainful of Wu Mo.
Xiao Zhao's fate is even more tragic than Ankang. Although Ankang is often slandered by Wu Mo wearing small shoes and maliciously, Ankang is not a member of Wu Mo's project team after all, but Xiao Zhao is half a member of Wu Mo's project team. You can imagine the life he lived.
In the contrast between the two sides, Xiao Zhao is of course obedient to An Kang's words.
It is precisely because of Wu Mo's attitude towards interns that Xiao Zhao called Wu Mo "Manager Wu" and An Kang "master" or "senior brother" to show his cordiality.
However, in addition to comforting this junior, Ankang never said bad things about Wu Mo behind his back. Of course, in front of Ye Qi, Ankang never said anything good about Wu Mo.
Ankang dumps emotional garbage to Ye Qi all day long, without sorting. Ye Qi suffers from the negative energy of health all day long, and he is helpless.
On this day, Ankang and the intern followed Zhou Mingfeng to visit a company in Zhangjiang and communicated with the company's management for a morning.
On the way back to Lujiazui in Zhou Mingfeng's Mercedes-Benz, Zhou Mingfeng asked Ankang: "Xiao An, what do you think of this company?" ”
Ankang said: "I am still optimistic about this company. Their technology is relatively innovative, and these managers also have a background in science and engineering, so they will be relatively obsessed with technology. The only downside may be in the product sales. It's often hard for a group of techies to do a good job of selling. If there is a person who understands marketing in the future, the prospects of this project will be even better. ”
Zhou Mingfeng smiled and said, "My thoughts are exactly the opposite of yours. ”
"Why?"
Zhou Mingfeng said: "It's true that these people are from technical backgrounds, but I think these people are just too eager to do marketing. ”
An Kang was puzzled: "Why do you feel this way?" ”
Zhou Mingfeng said: "Look at their introduction to technology, it sounds very mysterious and has a strong sense of technology, right? ”
"Hmm."
"They deliberately introduced it to us laymen. Did you find that their presentations of those technologies were very targeted? It can be described as hitting the hearts of the people. That's because they know exactly what we want, so what is shown to us is exactly what we want to see. Such people, can you say that they don't understand marketing? ”
Ankang is still puzzled: "Of course they want to show what we want to see. If we don't even want to read the content, aren't they losing an opportunity to raise money? ”
Zhou Mingfeng shook his head: "There is a gap between technology and products, you know this, right?" ”
"Hmm."
"There's also a chasm between product and sales. You should know that, too. Just like IMB's OS2 system and Microsoft's Windows system. The OS2 system was much stronger than Windows, but in the end, Microsoft, which was good at marketing, won. Microsoft won in marketing, but that doesn't mean its product is inferior. Microsoft has always invested heavily in R&D, and it may not make the most perfect product, but it can improve the product in iteration after iteration. But the company we looked at didn't give me a real feeling. They are looking to hit the market with a technology or product. As for whether their technology and products are perfect, they don't seem to mind. ”
Ankang thought about it, and finally understood why Zhou Mingfeng felt like this.
Because during the morning meeting, Zhou Mingfeng asked them a question: "Your technology is very advanced, but what will you do if you meet a competitor?" ”
The chairman and general manager of that company said with a smile: "It's not a big problem. We don't put out products that use the most advanced technology. When similar products appear on the market, we will use our new technology. It doesn't matter if others catch up, by then we already have enough market share, and others will just follow suit. ”
It was the only statement made by the chairman and general manager on the market and competition. And Zhou Mingfeng learned the true thoughts of this company from these few short sentences.
