The next day, the atmosphere in the president's office was somewhat solemn.
As the chairman of Kuiguang Group, Yang Ruoqian must muster all his energy when facing major challenges.
Qi Mu also came to the office early: "Good morning, Mr. Yang. I just got the news that Luying Company's CEO, Mag Reis, arrived in Jinhai City yesterday evening and should arrive on time this afternoon."
Did you arrive yesterday evening? Do you have to wait until the afternoon today?
After thinking about it, Yang Ruoqian immediately figured it out - even if Mag had done a lot of market research in the early stages and had a lot of understanding of the investment target, he still needed to do a simple on-site inspection.
After the group company branch was opened in Pengcheng, Mag should have taken the time to visit it while he was in Yangcheng.
After arriving in Jinhai, you only need to conduct a brief inspection.
Unfortunately, time was too tight, and Yang Ruoqian was unable to give Mag a small shock to outsiders by tampering with his industries.
Despicable outsider, actually asked for money to clear the way when he came here.
"Very good, how are your preparations going?" Yang Ruoqian asked, "We must not neglect our foreign guests."
Yang Ruoqian emphasized the word "neglect".
Qi Mu and Yan Jinyu had completed the handover of work yesterday. Now Yang Ruoqian can directly contact Qi Mu if he has any matters.
Because the incident happened suddenly, no matter how capable Qi Mu is at work, he is not a superman, so he could only let Yan Jinyu come and report in person yesterday.
Qi Mu paused for a moment and replied: "Don't worry, all treatment standards are in accordance with the usual practice."
The so-called hospitality standards are not written into the company charter of the Kuiguang Group, but everyone knows that there is a fixed process for receiving guests.
However, this process needs to be modified when applied to Mag.
Yang Ruoqian immediately shook his head: "We can't just follow the convention. A foreigner...a foreigner has come thousands of miles to come here. Maybe this is his only chance in his life."
"When discussing business, we can't just talk about business. We also need to let him feel the warmth of our outstanding people and beautiful environment."
Qi Mu didn't quite understand what Mr. Yang was talking about, so he asked tentatively, "Mr. Yang, what exactly do you plan to do?"
Yang Ruoqian smiled and said, "First, we need to take him to experience the local customs and practices of Jinhai City. Now that the weather is getting cooler, we can take him out for more walks."
"We've arranged all the hotels, souvenirs, and shopping packages, and we've also taken him to our Jinhai Night Market for a stroll. We've got everything we can afford."
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we need to let outsiders experience the festive atmosphere here."
Outsider...
Mr. Yang, you are not hiding your malice at all.
I was clearly trying to pretend just now.
The secretary didn't know why President Yang made such arrangements, but as a secretary, she didn't have to think about these things.
"Okay, Mr. Yang, do you need to arrange a reception team? Or do we just want our administrative staff to go, as before?"
Since the number of guests that need to be received increases, the large administrative department has been divided into several small departments.
Now there is a special "concierge department" responsible for receiving visitors. Although it is said to be receiving visitors, it is actually just following the convention and taking investors around to play.
Whoever can "trap" the customers longer will have better performance.
But the uninvited guest this time was of Mag's level, who was much more famous than the previous investors and self-media interviewers.
The previous reception lineup alone seemed a little insufficient.
Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and said, "On the basis of keeping the previous configuration, immediately help me find 10 burly, muscular men to serve as bodyguards. They should be the kind in the movies who wear suits, ties, and sunglasses. They look particularly scary when they stand there."
It is not easy to find 10 such people in a short period of time and get them suitable suits.
However, as long as you are willing to spend money and use the name of Kuiguang Group, it is not impossible to do it.
Now, as long as the name of Kuiguang Group is raised, many people are even willing to put down their current work and report in as soon as possible.
No matter he is a bodyguard or a concierge, as long as he can get on the car of Kuiguang Group, he can do anything!
When Qi Mu heard the request, he didn't even have time to reply. He immediately lowered his head and began to assign work to the executive layer on his mobile phone.
Time is too tight!
In just a few hours, it takes time to find 10 sturdy men who meet the requirements and 10 sets of costumes and props that suit their body shapes.
Even though Yang Ruoqian's request was simple, it was easy to find 10 strong men... but to be reception staff, it was not enough to just have a strong build.
The way you speak, act, walk, etc., don't have to be perfect, but at least they have to be decent.
Dozens of seconds later, Qi Mu raised his head, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Boss Yang, I'm sorry... the work has been arranged, and if nothing unexpected happens, there should be no problem."
Yang Ruoqian glanced at the time and nodded gently: "Remember to arrange Mag's travel route as well."
"Okay, Mr. Yang."
After Mag's issue was resolved, Qi Muru reported the company's internal situation to Yang Ruoqian as usual.
Actually, I have already explained almost all the work-related matters.
The end of the year is approaching, and Kuiguang Group is now focusing a lot of manpower on the much-anticipated annual meeting.
The last time we held our annual meeting, the Kuiguang Group was not as big as it is now, and there were only a handful of employees in the entire company.
Many new employees only learned how great the last annual meeting was from their senior colleagues.
You can eat more meals than you can finish, visit the arcade for free, and even redeem coupons for big prizes like graphics cards and mobile phones.
In the final draw, almost everyone won a prize, and the grand prize was worth hundreds of thousands.
And...they are also looking forward to this year's year-end bonus.
The performance of Kuiguang Group has been booming this year. It takes two or three years to produce a hit movie, but this year, Kuiguang Group has produced four.
Not only movies, which are a project that depends on both performance and luck, but the entire entertainment industry and related peripherals have also been rapidly developed. Now the group's income is stable, and there is no longer a crisis of hunger and fullness.
According to Mr. Yang's generosity, their performance is so good that they will definitely be rewarded and receive a generous year-end bonus.
The last time the annual meeting was held, Qi Mu had not yet joined the company, and she could only formulate relevant policies based on previous information and conventions.
"Boss Yang, I have adjusted the scale of this annual meeting based on the number of people. The prizes and format are similar to last time. Do you have any other ideas?"
Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and said, "The framework is fine, but it would be better to add a new project."
"I remember, you said."
"We are a company that pursues progress. We cannot always promote leaders based on seniority." Yang Ruoqian put on a serious look, "We need to put capable employees in better positions, maximize their roles, and improve their treatment."
Even someone like the secretary, who has relatively low emotional fluctuations, was inexplicably moved by these words.
It is understandable that they are ranked based on seniority - after all, they are old contributors who have built the empire with Mr. Yang from scratch, so it is natural that they should get better treatment.
But even so, President Yang still did not forget to leave ample opportunities for advancement for all grassroots employees...which is extremely rare.
She nodded gently: "Okay, Mr. Yang, you can tell me in detail, I will send someone to arrange it immediately."
Yang Ruoqian said: "At the end of each year, make a basic evaluation of the performance of all grassroots employees, select the best ones, and submit them directly to me. I will make the final decision... Remember, performance is not the only assessment indicator, nor is it even the most important one."
"I will select the best 10 people from this list to become the company's best employees of the year, give them rewards, and arrange new positions for them, or let them be the leaders of new projects."
There are too many people in the group who give up immediate gains for long-term interests. These people are very dangerous, even more dangerous than those employees with strong performance on paper.
Therefore, we cannot just judge by performance, we must screen out a list and let Mr. Yang, who has a keen eye for talent, make the judgment himself.
All those who do a good job should be exiled to take a long vacation, whether it is traveling or taking a vacation, as long as they don't get in the way in the company.
After the long vacation, there are brand new positions waiting for them, so don't expect to continue to shine in the familiar fields.
Qi Mu took shorthand notes and asked, "Mr. Yang, who do you plan to involve in the drafting of this list?"
When conducting performance appraisals, excluding management and having multiple people jointly draw up the list is the most effective way to avoid shady dealings.
How easy is it to get along well with the entire team that drafted the list? Some departments may not even meet for a long time, so it’s impossible to build up a good relationship.
"You, and the main and secondary persons in charge of other departments." Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and added, "You are responsible for coordination and planning, and others are responsible for nominations, but they cannot nominate their own direct employees."
In other words, Lin Cao, who is in charge of the live broadcast department, cannot nominate any employee of the live broadcast department; the same applies to Lu Shuyuan, who is in charge of administration, who can only nominate employees from other departments and cannot nominate employees from the administrative department.
This can indeed ensure fairness to a great extent.
When dealing with employees who have nothing to do with you, you can basically be fair and just.
It’s not that Yang Ruoqian thinks that these managers who were promoted by him would be partial to their own interests, but as normal people, even if they don’t want to be partial to their own interests, when facing the acquaintances on the list, they will be more or less influenced by basic emotions.
Some managers feel that their employees are doing a good job, perhaps because they do not have enough information about other people and lack comparison.
Some managers are afraid of being accused of favoritism, so they deliberately avoid their own employees and refuse to nominate them no matter how well they perform.
Both situations are unfair and are likely to cause Mr. Yang to miss the opportunity to exile real talents.
Qi Mu stood up: "Okay, Mr. Yang, I'll arrange it right away."
…
Time passes quickly.
In the afternoon, just as the meeting time arrived, a convertible sports car drove up to the bottom of the Kuiguang Building.
Mag Reis and his assistant parked the car and walked out one after another.
He didn't like large luxury cars with a strong executive flavor, so he told the Kuiguang Group that he would come by himself and there was no need to send anyone to pick him up.
I heard that Boss Yang also has a supercar...but Mag prefers a more leisurely jogging car.
"Okay Martin, go have a cup of coffee and a meal nearby, I'll go there by myself."
The assistant was already used to his boss's style, but he still followed the standard procedure and asked, "Boss, don't you want me to go with you?"
"No need. The more casual you are, the higher the success rate of the business negotiation. You can come back after we have negotiated the cooperation and come to the specific terms... Drive carefully and don't damage it. I don't want to end up buying a car instead of renting it."
After giving orders to his men, Mag took a look at the towering Kuiguang Building, raised his feet, and walked over confidently.
Yang Ruoqian had already greeted the front desk, and as soon as Mag walked into the front desk, an administrative staff member who was familiar with English came to greet him.
Mager immediately said in his fluent Chinese: "You are so enthusiastic my friend, now please take me upstairs!"
Mag had already rehearsed in his mind what the scene would be like after meeting Yang Ruoqian and what he should say.
He has negotiated countless similar deals, and the results were all pretty much the same.
He was confident that no matter what happened, it would basically be within his expectations.
The administrative girl nodded immediately and brought Mag to the elevator door: "This way, please."
Or a dedicated elevator...
Mager was even more excited about this negotiation.
Ding! The elevator that had been arranged long ago slowly opened its door as Mag stepped forward.
What caught the eye were 10 muscular thugs in suits with their hands behind their backs, filling the entire elevator car. There was only a small area in the middle where people could stand.
Even wearing sunglasses could not conceal the ferocity in their eyes.
Mag: “?”
No, 11 out of 10 was wrong! How come before he even entered the elevator, the rehearsal of the incident had exceeded his imagination? Just when Mag subconsciously wanted to step back, the receptionist behind him said with a full smile: "Dear Mr. Mag, please come in."
As he said this, he bowed slightly.
However, in Mag's eyes, the receptionist's smile had completely changed.
He suddenly regretted not asking his assistant to come along.
Can I get out of this elevator intact after entering it?
But looking at the 10 burly men, Mag was sensible enough not to say anything, forced a smile, and moved in.
Mag didn't dare to imagine the consequences of his refusal.
Bang! The elevator door slowly closed. Seeing the receptionist's smile being cut off and feeling the elevator rising, Mag's nervousness reached its peak.
It was as if the person he was about to meet was not the boss of an entertainment company, but an arms dealer who could take out a bazooka and send him to heaven at any time.
Careless, young! Accidentally walked into the tiger's den! How could a boss who could organize a gunfight project on a variety show be the same as those he had seen before? The elevator slowly rose, and in the increasingly solidified atmosphere, it finally arrived at the scheduled floor.
Those bodyguards who were hired temporarily were actually very nervous - they knew that they were going to receive a foreign tycoon who could make tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars every minute. If they didn't handle things well and offended others, the job they had worked so hard to get might be lost.
So they adhered to the principle that it would not be wrong if they didn't do it, and they didn't say a word the whole time, only expressing their goodwill with their eyes.
Seeing that the elevator door had opened but the VIP had not yet moved, one of them kindly reminded: "Mr. Mag, we are here."
Mag, who was already obsessed with his imagination, immediately gave a sudden thought: "Yes, we are here! We are here!"
After saying this, he walked out of the elevator trembling. (End of this chapter)
