As Xing Baohua's assistant, Lei Jun follows him around every day to handle company affairs and also goes to the laboratory to participate in some software programming.
Looking at the communication equipment produced from rice, I was filled with emotion.
"How's the rice business lately?" Xing Baohua chatted with Lei Jun when she had a break.
"How should I put it? It feels too massive. If I were to manage it entirely, I wouldn't have the confidence," Lei Jun said honestly.
"Yes! We still lack experience. These people in the rice factory! I've grown up with rice, just like them. I know how to do it, so I have the confidence. You just need to keep an eye on the direction."
Lei Jun nodded, then fell silent. He didn't even know where he was headed or how to control the situation.
He understood what Xing Baohua meant: he knew nothing about product development, product direction, the market they would be facing, or their competitors.
If it were software, that would be easier for him, since he understands it. But Xing Baohua gave him too little time.
If Xing Baohua were backing him up, he could do things his way, and even if he made mistakes, Xing Baohua would be there to support him.
If Xing Baohua really doesn't have much time left and he leaves, who will respect him?
So what he was more worried about was what would happen if Xing Baohua died.
He lacked that solid foundation.
Factory Director Li, Factory Director Liu Quan, and even Secretary Dong, the factory director of the electrical appliance factory, all realized that Xing Baohua was going to mentor a young man.
At that time, besides Director Li, Liu Quan will be the only one more likely to develop within the group.
He would have no problem being a vice president; many people support him, and he has a high reputation.
Although Secretary Dong arrived late, he also oversees the large and small home appliance business groups, as well as numerous small factories.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they are all OEM manufacturers; their basic skills are quite good.
There's a rumor circulating within the group that Xing Baohua is seriously cultivating a talent, who might become the group's executive vice president or something similar.
After all, there was no executive vice president before, and the boss of Dami Technology was Xing Baohua's first secretary.
Once the headquarters is completed, it may be integrated into a large group.
Perhaps the number of chairmen, general managers, executive vice presidents, and the like will increase.
Of course, Xing Baohua may actually hold the positions of Chairman and General Manager, but the position of Executive Vice President has become the focus of competition.
When Director Li entered the rice factory office, Liu Quan politely greeted him.
A few years ago, Liu Quan wouldn't have dared to look this old man in the eye. Now they can sit on equal footing.
After sitting down, he poured himself some water, then handed Old Li, the factory director, a cigarette and said, "What do you think Hua Zi meant by this move? He quietly brought back a college graduate and is personally teaching him like an apprentice. Everyone's saying he's preparing to give this graduate an important position!"
“The factory is his, he can do whatever he wants. His son is still young. If he were in his twenties, it would be normal for him to take over, but now... it's hard to say. Sigh, the people below are gossiping, don't get involved.” Factory Director Li seemed to sense that Liu Quan was somewhat unwilling and advised him.
"Why don't you ask Hua Zi for me if he wants to integrate all the industries into one group?" Liu Quan said.
"If he wanted to do it, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? Even if the headquarters is built, it won't be integrated. The rice factory will still be the rice factory, unique."
Why!
"Why? The union model is a unique feature of Dami. Apart from Xiao Dong's appliance, are there any other suitable options? Dami Technology controls the laboratory and can implement the union model. Everyone gets shares? That's Hong Kong capital."
“That’s just Hua Zi putting on a facade; he can just change it back,” Liu Quan said.
"How can we earn foreign exchange if we change it back? Rice is blocked overseas and we can't earn much foreign exchange anymore. Keeping Rice Technology will earn us whatever we can."
"So, what do you think of that guy named Lei Jun?"
"He's as young as Hua Zi and is valued by him. Maybe Hua Zi will start a new industry and send him to take charge."
"You mean the hammer?"
"With your brain, you're barely good enough to be a factory manager, let alone want to go any further. You'll just get played to death."
After being scolded, Liu Quan became obedient.
There's a bit of competition among the higher-ups at DaMi. Whether openly or covertly, they all want to make a name for themselves and get Xing Baohua's attention.
As Secretary Dong came to report more often, sometimes when Xing Baohua wasn't around, he would run over to Xie Yingying's side.
At the company, people are polite to Lei Jun on the surface, but they talk behind his back.
Some of his supervisors invited him to dinner, but he refused to go.
That day, Wei Laisong invited Xing Baohua to watch a football match. After all, since entering the top division, their performance had been quite good. Apart from the national second team, they were second only to the Luzhong Rice Workers Team.
Today's match is a contest between the second-tier national team and the rice team. The two teams are 2 points apart. If the rice team wins, they will be 1 point ahead and become the league leaders.
This big match attracted a large audience, but unfortunately, as the home team, they couldn't accommodate all of them.
The new stadium is still under construction and won't be used for a while. The old stadium only has 20,000 seats, but there are already 30,000 to 40,000 spectators on site.
Xing Baohua took Lei Jun to the stadium, made a brief appearance, and then returned to the locker room to watch TV.
Seriously, the more people there are, the more scared I get.
The three were watching TV in the lounge, listening to the cheers and noise from outside. Wei Laisong poured water for the two men and asked Xing Baohua, "Why do you bring your assistant with you every day?"
"successor."
"Ha!" Wei Laisong was taken aback, then looked at Xing Baohua and then at Lei Jun.
After reading it, he still asked with a shocked expression, "What does this mean?!"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to change jobs a bit," Xing Baohua said calmly.
"I was overthinking it," Wei Laisong said, glancing at Lei Jun, who was still somewhat nervous.
