Chapter 1075 First Day
Sun Yaoliang's serious expression turned into a smile again. He stood up and said to Song Yangming: "Okay, a loud drum does not need a heavy hammer. It's okay for you to understand some things." After saying that, he walked to the desk, picked up the phone and dialed an internal line. The secretary Xiao Wang on the other end of the phone quickly picked up.
After a while, secretary Xiao Wang knocked on the door. Sun Yaoliang introduced Song Yangming to Xiao Wang and asked Xiao Wang to take Song Yangming to the office arranged for him. At the same time, he told Song Yangming to see if there was anything missing in the office. If he needed anything, he should tell Xiao Wang directly and Xiao Wang would help him arrange it.
After listening to this, Song Yangming nodded to show that he understood, and then followed Xiao Wang out of Sun Yaoliang's office.
After Song Yangming and Xiao Wang left, only Sun Yaoliang and Lao Tang were left in the office. Lao Tang took out a cigarette and handed it to Sun Yaoliang. He lit one and waved the smoke to Sun Yaoliang and said with a smile: "Old Sun, your face is changing faster and faster now. Did you go to Sichuan Province to learn face-changing from a master? I was stunned by your face-changing skills just now. When did you learn it?"
"Go to hell!" Sun Yaoliang cursed with a smile, and sighed while smoking a cigarette, "It has to be this way. I know Yangming is different from ordinary rich kids. I have watched him grow up. He is not bad in terms of ability and education. He has work experience and is very smart, but after all, he has never been able to stand on his own."
"I know exactly what Yuan Chao was thinking when he handed Yang Ming over to me. To be honest, such a big incident happened to Si Te before, and Zhu Weizhou made a mess of the company, and it has not been sorted out yet."
"You and I, along with a few other old friends, were brought back together by the Korean War this time. You know what the purpose was, don't you? Even if we come back, how long can we work at Si Te? I won't talk about you, Old Tang. You were originally enjoying your retirement life, but this time you came back to be the chief steward. As for me? I have a big business on my side, and I can only work as the general manager for a year at most."
"You old guys know that when I, the general manager, leave next year, you old guys will also be gone. Who will support the future of Si Te? Yang Ming is Yuan Chao's son and the future successor of the company. You can imagine the heavy responsibility on his shoulders."
"Of course, Yangming is a good piece of iron, but good iron needs to be refined. How can it become useful without refining? Old Tang, if I don't put some pressure on him and let him live an easy life every day, when will he be able to achieve the goals of aiding Korea and what we expect? So, anyway, I am thick-skinned, I am his elder, and he is now my assistant. If I don't do this, how can I force out his potential?"
Lao Tang took a deep puff of his cigarette and nodded, "You are right, but I am worried that this will put too much pressure on the child. After all, he is still young."
"Young? Only because you are young can you withstand pressure. When we are already established at this age, what else can we bear? Besides, you can't forget when Yuan Chao went to Nandu to report, right? You were the head of the labor and capital section at that time. How old was Yuan Chao at that time? How old was I when I came later? We were also Yangming's age. We were able to make it back then, so why can't he?"
Old Tang suddenly recalled the day when Song Yuanchao reported to Nandu. At that time, Song Yuanchao was still a very young man, about the same age as Song Yangming is now. The same was true for Sun Yaoliang. They were college classmates, and Sun Yaoliang was just a little younger than Song Yuanchao.
So many years have passed in a flash, the young people who were full of vigor and vitality have already entered middle age, and the next generation has gradually grown up. Lao Tang admitted that what Sun Yaoliang said was indeed reasonable. People are like this. As the pressure increases, they will continue to grow. Sun Yaoliang's consideration is not wrong.
Near ten o'clock, the company's regular meeting officially began. As Sun Yaoliang's assistant, Song Yangming attended Sit's executive meeting for the first time.
This meeting was chaired by Sun Yaoliang and the chairman was Song Yuanchao, but Song Yuanchao usually only attended as a routine and rarely made a formal speech unless necessary. Usually the general manager sat in the main seat.
There were many people in the conference room who knew Song Yangming. They were all old officials of the court and old subordinates of Song Yuanchao. Of course, there were also some executives who were promoted later or had never dealt with before. But when everyone saw Song Yangming sitting in the front seat, just behind a few vice presidents, and his face was somewhat similar to Song Yuanchao, they knew who this young man was.
The meeting started smoothly under the chairmanship of Sun Yaoliang . After Song Yuanchao and others returned to Si Te, they made major adjustments within the company. Many positions were replaced by new people, some of whom were old employees and some were recently promoted. But no matter what, these people were capable enough to do the job, and they were many times better than those guys who were just sitting there doing nothing during Zhu Weizhou's time.
Sit already has a perfect system. As long as the person at the helm of the company does not take the lead in destroying this system, there will be no major problems in the operation of Sit.
After Sun Yaoliang took over as general manager, he restored the previous system in a very short time, and after the system was restored, the company's operations also improved significantly.
When Song Yuanchao was at Sit, he held countless meetings like today's. At that time, Sun Yaoliang was the group's vice president and general manager of the sales company. Now that Sun Yaoliang has become the general manager, he is very good at promoting and controlling the meetings. All departments and affairs are carried out smoothly according to the schedule, and the questions and ideas raised are discussed on the spot.
The meeting was full of useful information, rather than a formal meeting format. It was the first time that Song Yangming attended such a meeting. He took notes and listened carefully, while mentally verifying the information Song Yuanchao gave him and learning from it.
I have to admit that Song Yangming gained a lot from the more than one-hour meeting. Whether it was the proposals or questions raised, or the debates and explanations about these, they were all things that Song Yangming had never known before.
Sun Yaoliang said something when he met Song Yangming before. He told Song Yangming about the future work content and direction as the assistant general manager. Although Song Yangming was not a novice in the workplace and had certain work experience, after he came to Si Te to take up the position, his previous work experience was of little use at all, because he was standing at a different height, seeing different things, sitting in a different position, and considering problems from a different angle.
In a word, your butt determines your thinking.
Although this sentence is often used in a derogatory sense, it can also be used in a complimentary sense. Although Song Yangming understood Sun Yaoliang's intention in saying this to him, after this meeting, he understood it a little better in his heart.
The meeting was almost over. Sun Yaoliang glanced at Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao nodded without saying anything, and Sun Yaoliang announced the end of the meeting.
Everyone stood up, packed up their things, and left the meeting room one after another.
When Song Yuanchao left, he didn't even look at Song Yangming. Or rather, since he sat in that position and started the meeting, Song Yuanchao rarely looked at Song Yangming, as if Song Yangming was a person who had nothing to do with him at all.
After the meeting, Song Yangming followed Sun Yaoliang back to the office. Sun Yaoliang told Song Yangming to organize the content of today's meeting and write a detailed report document on the issues and solutions raised today, and hand it to him before leaving get off work.
These tasks were handled by Xiao Wang before Song Yangming came, but today Sun Yaoliang directly threw all these tasks to Song Yangming. Song Yangming didn't say anything, just recorded Sun Yaoliang's requirements, and then returned to his office to get busy.
He was so busy that he forgot about time, and Xiao Wang helped to bring lunch to Song Yangming.
"Assistant Song, come and eat. I don't know what you like to eat, so I picked some for you." Xiao Wang knocked on Song Yangming's office door, came in with a lunch box and said.
"Thank you, Brother Wang. I'm sorry for bothering you to help me get the lunch. I was so busy that I forgot the time." Hearing the voice, Song Yangming quickly stood up and took the lunch box with both hands.
"Haha, it's a small matter. I passed by you when I was going downstairs just now. Seeing that you were busy, I thought you might have forgotten about meal time. I didn't want to disturb you at that time, so I brought some up to you." Xiao Wang said this with a smile.
"Thank you so much. Next time you can just knock on the door to remind me. Sorry for asking you to help me."
"What's the trouble? Come on and eat. Have you ever tried the food at the headquarters? The chef in the cafeteria is pretty good. Come and try it."
Song Yangming smiled and nodded, opened his lunch box, picked up the disposable chopsticks and started eating. The food in the cafeteria of the group headquarters was good, and Song Yangming had no dietary restrictions. Besides, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, so he was really hungry. He finished two boxes of food in no time.
After finishing his meal, Song Yangming cleaned up and threw the leftovers from the lunch box into the trash can nearby . Then he suddenly remembered that Xiao Wang had been sitting there for a long time and he hadn't poured him any water yet.
Quickly saying sorry, Song Yangming stood up to pour water for Xiao Wang, but Xiao Wang waved his hand and said with a smile, "No thanks." He came here to bring Song Yangming food and also to give him something.
Song Yangming looked at Xiao Wang in confusion, not understanding what he was going to give him. Xiao Wang smiled and took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Song Yangming, saying that it was a summary of the previous meeting minutes and other solutions to the company's proposals.
Song Yangming was on the job for the first time today , and he was still getting familiar with many things. Sun Yaoliang directly handed these tasks to Song Yangming. Xiao Wang was worried that it would be a bit difficult for Song Yangming to do these things for the first time, so he specially copied these materials from the computer and sent them to him for reference.
After hearing what Xiao Wang said, Song Yangming took it with great joy and thanked him again and again. It was indeed his first time to do this and he didn't know where to start. After all, these things were different from the market analysis he had done before. They were not based on data and inference, but on the integration of information for actual work and management direction.
Now with what Xiao Wang gave him, he can use it as a reference and comparison, so he can get the general idea. This is really a timely help.
Xiao Wang waved his hand and said it was okay, they were all colleagues and one was Mr. Sun's assistant and he was Mr. Sun's secretary, so it was reasonable. Besides, Mr. Sun also knew about this matter. The reason why he didn't let Xiao Wang send these at the beginning was that he planned to let Song Yangming explore them by himself first and feel the work deeply, which would be more suitable for him to continue to handle it next.
After saying that, Xiao Wang stood up and left. Looking at Xiao Wang's departing back and then looking at the small USB flash drive in his hand, Song Yangming couldn't help but laugh.
