Top of the big era

Ning Yaxian continued to tell the story.

Said that after coming to Department Y, he immediately stood out. Because only her English is the best. But even so, she was in terrific pain during the regular meeting every day.

Her English is very good, but she can't understand what those Indians and Spaniards are saying.

After a month of bewilderment, she finally came to her senses.

Gradually, she became familiar with the details of the project and began to discuss technical issues with the team members. Most importantly, she was finally able to communicate smoothly with two overseas R\u0026D teams.

There is no obstacle for others to listen to her, the main thing is that she has to understand others.

But there was an unreliable person in the project, an old man who was transferred with her to take charge of the project. He was bald, decadent, lazy, and couldn't speak a word of English.

Every morning, after the decadent old man went to the company, the first thing he asked her was: "Do I have any tasks today?" Ning Yaxian would go back and get the assignments from her superiors that day, summarize them, and occasionally arrange some tasks for him.

The decadent old man didn't understand English at all, and he couldn't even read the materials. He often just smoked and drank tea, and wandered around. Every time it's time to get off work, I would come to her, "Do I have any tasks?" Ning Yaxian didn't have time to talk to him, so she would say, "You're fine, you can go back." Then, the decadent old man bowed , bag and leave.

Later, other colleagues couldn't bear it any longer, and came to her and asked, "Isn't the old man your boss? Why are you acting like your subordinate?"

Only then did Ning Yaxian's heart skip a beat, and she came to her senses.

right!

He is the boss!

It was arranged by the leader, the section chief in charge of this project!

The previous two leaders were moved to other posts because they were not doing well.

After hearing this, Zhou Buqi laughed out loud.

I think Ning Yaxian is really interesting, telling a story like Shuangwen.

"You are too fake, right? The leader listens to the arrangement of his subordinates?"

"In Japanese companies, this is very normal."

Ning Yaxian glanced at him with a calm expression.

Zhou Buqi was very strange, "Really? Why?"

Ning Yaxian said: "Japanese companies are very strong in terms of seniority. Most of the leaders have been through the years and are old guys. These people have a complicated network of contacts in the company. If it’s not good, I will transfer to another department through my relationship. Those who are really capable of working are young people, but they are young and lack qualifications, so they can’t be promoted.”

Zhou Buqi wanted to understand something, and said deeply: "So, the lifetime employment system is not advisable, and it must be eliminated at the bottom."

Ning Yaxian said softly: "Yes, the so-called international projects in this department are actually very monotonous. It is to hold regular meetings, coordinate the relationship between the two R\u0026D teams in India and Spain, and assign R\u0026D tasks according to the different situations of the respective teams. Go on. I am in charge from the beginning to the end. But I am too young and have no qualifications, so I have to send an old man with high morals and respect. It is just a mascot, which is useless at all."

"It's old and prudent, the domestic officialdom also likes to do this."

"It's not the same. The old man respects me very much and listens to me. After working on this project for a year, at the end, he gave me the highest evaluation, and then I was promoted."

"What level?"

"Well...it's equivalent to a secretary, a little higher than an ordinary employee, and a little lower than a team leader."

"So low?"

Zhou Buqi frowned.

Ning Yaxian told him before that the titles in a Japanese company, from bottom to top, are group leader, department head, section head, department head, and then vice president of the group.

"It's not easy to be promoted after only two years in the job. Among my group of people, I'm the fastest."

"and after?"

"This project is very successful. I'm a little famous, so I was arranged to go to Singapore to participate in project M. They don't understand English, so of course I have to go."

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised.

I didn't expect her experience to be so rich.

Ning Yaxian smiled and said: "At that time, the department's funds were limited, so I could only arrange for one person to go, and that was me. The decadent old man was very nervous, and a hundred people were worried. On the day before leaving, I personally handed over the map, itinerary, hotel I printed out the plane order and the contact information of my colleagues. I was afraid that I would lose it, so I printed three copies and put them in different bags. I was afraid that I would not bring everything with me, so I made a form to share with me. Control. Even asked me about sunscreen, mosquito repellent, etc., and I was a little bit devastated at the time."

"I also care about you."

"Well, he said that his daughter was about the same age as me, and he was very worried about going abroad alone. Then I told him that I am alone abroad now."

"Ha ha."

"After I went to Singapore, I felt very close. It is a small county with a small area, and there are Chinese people everywhere. I feel more comfortable than staying in Japan. But when I entered the project, it collapsed."

"What's wrong?"

Ning Yaxian said bitterly: "For the first time, I felt what a diverse country is. Japanese, Singaporeans, Malays, Americans, Indians, Europeans, Chinese, and people from the Middle East, everyone It’s more than 40 degrees in hot weather. When I participated in the previous project, I felt that the English of Indians and Spaniards was uncomfortable enough, but after I went there, I realized that the insignificance was insignificant. I don’t speak all kinds of accents. With grammar and interjections in their respective mother tongues, it’s almost like a group of demons dancing in a meeting.”

But Zhou Buqi didn't have the heart to make a joke, and sighed: "This is a big international company!"

Ning Yaxian nodded, "I've been working on this project for half a year, and I'm very busy. I didn't have time to go around the county until the end of the project. I still feel confused about Singapore. When I went back to Tokyo that day, I drove to the taxi. The driver said, 'Go to the international airport.' The driver looked at me with disgust for a long time, and said, 'There is no domestic line.' I was a little dazed, as if it had been a lifetime."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Your storytelling skills are really high."

"Back in Tokyo, the decadent old man welcomed me very much. As a result, it was cleared up immediately, and nothing happened for more than a month. Tell him, he told me that this company is an idiot, and I have to wait patiently for the opportunity."

"Idiot?"

"Well, he told me that the vast majority of Japanese companies are actually very stupid. People who work hard are not valued, and those who know nothing and are hypocritical and pompous can rise up. I was quite surprised at the time, I thought he was reflecting on himself."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Tell the story well, I'm not a child, so I don't need to bring so many humorous sentences."

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and spoke very happily, with the corners of her mouth turned up, she said with a smile: "He told me that when he was young, he used to be the leader alone, leading a team of dozens of people, working overtime He accomplished an impossible task. But just when he thought he would become the head of the department, the one who was promoted turned out to be a guy who played with connections, connections, and workplace politics."

"So he was decadent?"

"right."

"A bloody lesson." Zhou Buqi was a little bit emotional, "Not rewarding meritorious service will really hurt morale."

Ning Yaxian said: "But he said that I was young and shouldn't learn these things. Later, he helped me get rid of the relationship and transferred me to the International Department. This is the real backbone department with the main core business. I went to the International Department , I really have a clear understanding of this company, and my work ability has also been greatly improved."

"International Department? As you said last time, the head of the department is a woman?"

"right."

"It's not that she doesn't like female employees, why did she recruit again?"

"The International Department is too complicated and is being reorganized. This is the opportunity I got..."

At this time, He Yang came to the office.

The story can't go on.

Said a very important thing, the goal of the new chief financial officer.

There are two, one is Cai Wei, vice president of PricewaterhouseCoopers China Branch, and the other is Ding Jingyi, chief audit partner of KPMG Yanjing Branch.

The former is a man and the latter a woman, both in their early 40s.

Choosing a financial officer is different from selecting other executives. You can be older in order to have rich financial management experience and be prudent enough to make decisions.

Their jobs are stable and they all have rich experience. They have promoted the overseas listing of several domestic companies, and led and participated in the initial public offering audit and annual audit. In addition, they also provide auditing, accounting and consulting services to multinational companies.

From the perspective of resume, they are about the same.

However, poaching people is very difficult.

If you are a finance major, of course it is easier to work in financial companies such as accounting firms and securities companies. Just like lawyers, the best lawyers must not be in large companies, but in independent law firms.

"Have you seen it?"

"not yet."

"Let's find out first, and send Wang Haiyang to go. There is still time, as long as you can take office at the beginning of next year, we will investigate first."

Next year will be 2007.

It is the last glory before the curtain call.

Therefore, Ziweixing's financing must be completed next year. In 2008, when the financial crisis broke out and the global currency tightened, it was not easy to get a high valuation.

Next year will be the time when the bubble is the biggest.

How big is it? Ali's B2B business went public in Hong Kong, mainly covering the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, excluding Taobao...the market value has reached 30 billion US dollars.

Zhou Buqi said again: "At the beginning of next year, change to a more powerful CFO to promote Ziweixing's A-round financing. By the way, what do you think our company's current valuation is?"

"One price per day, it's hard to say."

"What do you think?"

"There's always $2 billion, right?"

"Ahem..."

Zhou Buqi is a little imaginary.

In the previous communication with Liu Qing, she also said that Goldman Sachs gave Ziweixing an internal stock price of US$1 billion.

He Yangdao: "Now the global Internet situation is good, and hot money is pouring in here. The valuation of 2 billion US dollars is not high."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "That's okay, just act if you have a goal. Do it quietly, don't let Lao Wang know, this matter... you have to deal with it anyway."

"no problem."

"Xu Liangjie will return to China tomorrow, shall we pick him up at the airport together?"

"is it necessary?"

"Put your posture up."
