"Miss Ye, forgive me for taking the liberty of being a department executive at Dow Chemical before, why don't you want to go back?" Guan Yuntian asked.

"It doesn't matter, there are other people who have asked me this question, the situation is like this, I have been working in Dow for more than four years, less than five years, due to family reasons, I left there to recuperate at home for two years, Dow executives have asked me about my wishes, I am not very interested in returning to Dow, the reason is that I am afraid that my physical condition is not suitable for the rhythm of work there. Ye Jiayi explained.

"Miss Ye, based on your experience in the workplace, what do you think about the work rhythm of domestic enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises?"

"There is no doubt that domestic enterprises are slower-paced, while foreign-funded enterprises are fast-paced and more efficient. ”

"What do you think is the reason for this result?"

"My view is that domestic human resources are abundant, wages are low, there are many employees, and there are many links, so the pace will naturally slow down. Ye Jiayi analyzed.

"In other words, in the case of abundant labor resources, a slow pace is inevitable?"

"Mr. Guan, I don't think so. Ye Jiayi has a clear point of view.

Ye Jiayi is an MBA graduate of the University of Michigan, during her time at the university, there are many class discussions and homework, and many case studies, and most of them are closely related to the actual situation, so she not only answers Guan Yuntian's questions, but also often contains her own unique opinions.

It is rare to meet such an interlocutor with a common language, and Guan Yuntian's interest in continuing the discussion has increased sharply, "Miss Ye, in your opinion, should domestic enterprises find a balance between employment and efficiency?"

"Of course. Although I have been in an environment of efficiency since I received my education and joined the company, that pace is unrealistic in the face of the domestic situation. First of all, the quality of workers is different, and in addition, there is a big gap in the labor market, but this does not mean that domestic enterprises do not have the need to improve efficiency and speed up the pace, because sooner or later they will have to participate in international competition, and there is no chance of winning in international competition with low efficiency and slow pace. ”

"What do you mean that domestic enterprises should also gradually speed up the pace and improve efficiency according to their own conditions?"

"Yes, that's the end goal, but it has to be achieved step by step, depending on the actual situation. ”

"Miss Ye, what is your view on the practical gap between the management problems faced by domestic enterprises, especially private enterprises, and the modern enterprise system required for standardized management of enterprises?"

In fact, this is not only a problem faced by domestic enterprises, even in Europe and the United States, in the embryonic state of the modern enterprise system a hundred years ago, they also faced the same problem, but under the influence of traditional culture, domestic enterprises are facing a more serious situation in this regard. I think this issue is somewhat similar to the balance between employment and efficiency mentioned earlier, but it is more urgent for companies. ”

"Can you be specific?"

"One of the biggest drawbacks of family management is that the enterprise is full of nepotism, affecting work efficiency is a trivial matter, the key is to hinder the development and growth of the enterprise, the development of the enterprise to a certain extent, if this problem is not solved, the enterprise will be like a burning star in the universe, naturally collapse, and then become a black hole. ”

"Miss Ye, your metaphor is both vivid and terrifying. ”

In reality, there are many similar examples, and those century-old foreign enterprises have solved this problem very well, on the contrary, those enterprises that are afraid of outsiders participating in the cooperation have almost no long lifespans. ”

"That's true, how do you think we can solve this problem? Is there a shortcut?"

"First of all, enterprises must have the subjective will to solve problems, if the enterprise operators feel good about themselves and do not want to solve the problem at all, then it is another matter; second, the way to solve the problem is nothing more than the introduction of a modern enterprise management system, separating the right to operate the enterprise from the ownership; third, to solve the problem should not be rushed, but step by step, after all, with Chinese characteristics, if the owner of the enterprise wants to completely give up the right to operate in one step, many people may not be able to let go of the ideology. Plus, there's no shortcut to solving this problem. ”

After talking to each other for more than an hour, Guan Yuntian asked the last question: "Miss Ye, our place is the county seat, and you have been living and working in a big city, if you want to work in a small city, are you mentally prepared?"

Ye Jiayi smiled, "Mr. Guan considers the problem very comprehensively, but you can rest assured that as a professional, the small things in life will not become obstacles at work." ”

Seeing that the time was not early, Manager Qiu of the Sihai intermediary company on the side reminded: "Miss Ye, if you have any further requirements in terms of benefits and salary, you can also discuss with Mr. Guan." ”

"Welfare and salary have been discussed in previous telephone communication with Mr. Guan. Ye Jiayi seems reluctant to discuss the issue on such an occasion.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't think of it before, even if I signed a formal contract, I can still bring it up in the future. "Guan Yuntian is definitely a generous person in this regard.

Seeing that the two sides were talking happily, Lao Qiu thought that this business was ironclad, and he wanted to strike while the iron was hot, "Mr. Guan, if you think the communication is enough, can you sign the contract now?"

"I don't have a problem with this ----,, I don't know if Miss Ye needs to know more?"

Ye Jiayi is a very efficient person, and she saw that Guan Yuntian was also very bright, so she agreed to sign the employment contract at that time.

That night, Guan Yuntian held a banquet at the hotel and welcomed Ye Jiayi, because once the employment contract was signed, Sihai Company would complete the task and bid farewell to Lao Qiu.

The next morning, Lao Qiu and Ye Jiayi returned by plane, and when they parted, Ye Jiayi agreed with Guan Yuntian that she would go home to make some preparations and go to Changda Company to take up her post a month later.

......

Under the coordination of Song, the deputy county magistrate in charge of industry, the land for the project with an annual output of 600,000 sets of radial tires for vehicles of Changda Company was quickly approved by the Management Committee of the Development Zone.

According to his own experience, Li Changjin suggested to Guan Yuntian that the total scale of 600,000 yuan should be divided into three phases, and each phase should build a production line with an annual output of 200,000 sets of radial tires, which is not only more secure, but also a one-time investment will not be too large, and will also reduce the financial pressure faced by enterprises. Li Changjin is a technical expert in the tire industry, and his advice will naturally be adopted by Guan Yuntian.

The construction funds and project land for the new project have been implemented, and in terms of technology introduction, an agreement of intent has already been signed with the Provincial Rubber Design Institute.

Guan Yuntian thought twice, he thought that the new project has been prepared for more than a year, and now all the conditions have been met, it is time to start implementation, for this reason, Guan Yuntian and Li Changjin made a special trip to the Provincial Rubber Design Institute, and formally signed a technology introduction contract.

Li Changjin reminded Guan Yuntian that compared with cord fabric production, the technical requirements of tire manufacturing are higher, and suggested that he should start as soon as possible in terms of staff recruitment and personnel training.

During the preparation of the project, Guan Yuntian thought about other aspects, but ignored the employment situation of the new project and the staffing of production management.

Li Changjin's timely reminder made Guan Yuntian suddenly nervous, the new project was about to start construction, and the staffing was not a word, and it was the first time that this situation had occurred in Guan Yuntian, who was meticulous.

Guan Yuntian reviewed it himself, and it was very unreasonable for such negligence to occur. But in all fairness, facing a lot of things every day, all the important affairs of Changda Company need to be handled by Guan Yuntian personally, and anyone only has 24 hours a day, no matter how strong his ability is and how energetic he is, as the saying goes, how many nails can be hit with iron? The only person who can take on the big responsibility of the company now is about Yuntian himself, and through this incident, he is more determined that the decision to recruit Ye Jiayi is very correct.

Fortunately, there was still time to solve this problem, Guan Yuntian tried to solve this problem as quickly as possible, he remembered that more than ten of his middle school classmates were working in several tire companies, among which the old classmate named Da Liu was also the workshop director of a tire company, Guan Yuntian decided to meet with these classmates as soon as possible.

Turning out Da Liu's phone number, Guan Yuntian directly called the other party's workshop office, and it was a lady who answered the phone, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for your workshop director, Da Liu. ”

"Please wait. The other party didn't hang up the phone, and after a few minutes, the phone was picked up again, "Hey, who is looking for me?"

"Da Liu, old classmate, I'm Guan Yuntian!"

"Mr. Guan, old classmate, are you looking for me, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, haven't we seen each other for more than a year, why don't you get in touch and find time to get together?" Guan Yuntian said.

"Old classmates, you pay for every party, and the students feel embarrassed! Of course the party is too good, why don't you implement the A-A system?"

"Hey, what's embarrassing about having a light meal? We're not old classmates, who is with whom? How cheesy is the A-A system! Don't worry about it, you just need to contact them. ”

"Okay, what day is the time? We are all idlers, there is nothing to do after work, you have a lot of things, you are busy, you must take your time, don't delay your work because of the party. Da Liu said.

"It's okay today and tomorrow, you should hurry up and contact the other students, and then tell me the number. ”

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Yuntian received a call from Da Liu, and learned that there were only about a dozen classmates who could come to the party in the past one or two days, and he immediately informed Da Liu that the party was in the evening of the same day, and it was still in the hotel where the last party was held, at half past six in the evening.

Guan Yuntian booked a private room that could accommodate fifteen people in advance, and after six o'clock in the evening, he arrived early, and the classmates who attended the party also arrived one after another.

As the host, Guan Yuntian of course had to sit in the host's position, and he deliberately arranged Da Liu in the seat opposite him, which was the position of the deputy host, which had never been arranged like this in the previous class reunion.

Because according to the standard set by the head, the dishes were all on the table after a while, and the waiter and the glass in front of everyone were filled with wine, Guan Yuntian raised a glass as usual and proposed to toast to the reunion of the old classmates!

After three rounds of drinking, Guan Yuntian raised a toast to the students again, and then said: "Everyone, I invite everyone to gather together today, in addition to catching up on the old days, I also have something to ask for." ”
