Chapter 321 Progress
Zhang Jiaming sat upright in a chair opposite Song Yuanchao, his hands on his knees, his expression solemn and somewhat nervous, like a student facing an assessment by his teacher.
During this period, as Zhang Jiaming came into deeper contact with Song Yuanchao, he increasingly felt that Song Yuanchao was extraordinary. This extraordinary person was not only due to his temperament, but also to his keen and forward-looking vision in business, as well as his rich insights and foresight.
To be honest, Hong Kong people now have a natural sense of superiority and pride towards people from the mainland, and this is true even for the lowest level of Hong Kong people.
As a capitalist society, Hong Kong is no less developed than some developed countries. Especially after entering the 1970s, Hong Kong's overall development has been particularly rapid. Its manufacturing, financial, real estate, service and other industries are not inferior to those in Asia and even the world. In terms of land area alone, Hong Kong's economic development is no worse than that of Japan, which ranks first in Asia.
On the other hand, in the eyes of many Hong Kong people, mainlanders are ignorant bumpkins, just like poor relatives in the countryside who can't even afford to eat. Hong Kong people naturally have a sense of superiority when facing mainlanders. Zhang Jiaming is better off. After all, Qin Zhengguo is from the mainland, and as a boss, Qin Zhengguo impressed Zhang Jiaming with his abilities. In addition, Qin Zhengguo quickly integrated into Hong Kong society after arriving in Hong Kong. If Qin Zhengguo only spoke Cantonese, it would be difficult to tell whether he was a native Hong Konger or a mainlander.
When Zhang Jiaming was transferred from Hong Kong to Pengcheng this time, he felt a bit proud and yearning at first. In his opinion, this was not only Qin Zhengguo's recognition of his work, but also a good opportunity for him in Shenghua Company.
As an old man of Shenghua, Zhang Jiaming is very clear about Shenghua's layout in Pengcheng, and he also agrees with Qin Zhengguo's view on the future of Pengcheng. In Zhang Jiaming's view, the future of Pengcheng is promising. Shenghua Company is one of the first Hong Kong companies to enter Pengcheng. Once the pattern in Pengcheng is opened, it will be extremely beneficial to the development of Shenghua Company.
Coming to Pengcheng to work was the company's decision, and it was also an opportunity for Zhang Jiaming. Once Pengcheng was well managed, it would be a great thing for Zhang Jiaming's personal future. Zhang Jiaming himself also thought so, so he quickly got into work after arriving in Pengcheng, and cooperated wholeheartedly with Qin Zhengguo's work arrangements.
Originally, Zhang Jiaming thought he was doing a good job, but everything began to change after he met Song Yuanchao.
At first, Zhang Jiaming thought Song Yuanchao was not simple, especially the conversation they had when they first met, which made Zhang Jiaming look at Song Yuanchao with new eyes. But not long after, as Song Yuanchao's requirements began to deepen and some practical work was carried out, Zhang Jiaming realized that although he did not underestimate Song Yuanchao, he still underestimated his ability.
During these days, although Zhang Jiaming had come up with a seemingly good plan in the preparatory work , he never expected that when the plan was handed over to Song Yuanchao, Song Yuanchao would easily find a lot of problems with it.
At first, Zhang Jiaming was still a little unconvinced and intended to explain and debate the contents of his plan with Song Yuanchao, but the final result was that he was first speechless by Song Yuanchao, and then convinced by his lesson.
Ever since that plan was rejected, Zhang Jiaming was completely convinced by Song Yuanchao, and also understood Song Yuanchao's extraordinary qualities from another perspective.
In the following days, Zhang Jiaming used his connections in Hong Kong to find professionals to improve the plan according to Song Yuanchao's requirements. During this period, he also returned to Hong Kong to consult his university teachers and collected a lot of foreign information for reference.
In order to complete Song Yuanchao's task, Zhang Jiaming hired a professional team in Hong Kong after consulting Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo, with him as the leader to do this task. During the period, the revised plan after several adjustments failed to pass Song Yuanchao's approval, but with the passage of time, the content and details of the plan were constantly approaching Song Yuanchao's requirements, allowing Zhang Jiaming to see the dawn of progress.
Today is the fourth time that Zhang Jiaming has submitted a proposal. This time the proposal has changed a lot compared to the first time, and the content of the entire proposal is more than ten times that of the first time.
The thick booklet looked much thicker than a magazine. It was the result of Zhang Jiaming's efforts and hard work over the past half month, and also the contribution of the professional team he hired. But no matter what, if there was no Song Yuanchao, this booklet would not have been created, so from this point of view, Song Yuanchao, who was sitting in front of him, was the real promoter.
Song Yuanchao looked at the contents of the booklet carefully. After several revisions, the content was basically close to his requirements. Although there were still some shortcomings in some details, there were no major problems overall.
While watching, Song Yuanchao took a pen and wrote and drew in some places. As he picked up the pen, Zhang Jiaming, who was sitting opposite him, felt a little uneasy, wondering whether Song Yuanchao was satisfied with this. After watching him draw another line on the paper and seem to write a few more words, Zhang Jiaming suddenly felt as if he had finished an exam and was watching the teacher marking his test paper.
I don’t know how long it took, but Song Yuanchao finally finished reading the booklet and put it on the table.
"It's pretty good overall and basically meets the requirements, but it's still slightly lacking in some details. These deficiencies are caused by the differences in thinking and actual conditions between Hong Kong and the mainland. So I suggest you think about it carefully and make revisions based on the parts I have highlighted and the actual conditions in the mainland. If there are no problems, this draft can be passed."
When Song Yuanchao said this, Zhang Jiaming's heart finally settled down. He nodded repeatedly and stood up to take the booklet that Song Yuanchao handed back to him with both hands.
"Hurry up, I can't stay here for a few days. I hope to get this done before I go back." Song Yuanchao said to Zhang Jiaming with a smile.
"I understand, boss. I will go back and revise it right away. The day after tomorrow... No! I will give you the final revised version tomorrow." Zhang Jiaming said seriously.
Song Yuanchao nodded, indicating that Zhang Jiaming could leave. Zhang Jiaming said goodbye to Song Yuanchao and left the office. Not long after Zhang Jiaming left, there was a knock on the office door. Song Yuanchao took a sip of tea from the cup and said, "Come in."
"Have you finished talking about this?" It was Qin Zhengguo who came in, pushing the door open with a smile, asking as he closed the door. After walking closer, he sat down on the chair that Zhang Jiaming had just sat on.
"We're done." Song Yuanchao took another sip of tea and glanced at Qin Zhengguo as he drank: "Are you done with that, too?"
"It's done. The equipment debugging in the workshop has been completed . We can officially start work next." Qin Zhengguo threw a cigarette to Song Yuanchao, lit it himself and said, "When do you plan to leave?"
"Around the 28th, any later the time will be a bit tight. I have to prepare when I get back, because school will start next." Song Yuanchao glanced at the desk calendar on the table.
"The 28th..." Qin Zhengguo thought for a moment and shook his head, "You can leave on the 29th. I plan to hold a formal opening ceremony on the 28th. Since you are the boss, you have to attend. What do you think?"
Song Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Why bother with this? Besides, you know I don't like to show up, so let's forget about it."
"No! Just attend. You don't have to show up in person. Besides, you don't have to deal with the locals. Besides, starting work is not a trivial matter. I've asked people. 28th is a good day. After the ceremony, the factory will be prosperous, right?" Qin Zhengguo explained hurriedly. Hong Kong is more particular about these things. Coupled with Qin Zhengguo's expectant look, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but hesitate.
But if he leaves on the 29th, he might not have enough time. It takes most of the day to get from Pengcheng to Yangcheng, and after arriving in Yangcheng he has to catch the train, and the train back to Yanjing takes nearly three days. In this way, it will be after September 1st when he returns to Yanjing, and Song Yuanchao has to report back to school in time.
Although university holidays are different from those of primary and secondary schools, and the official school term begins a few days after September 1st, reporting work still needs to be done before school starts. After school starts, Song Yuanchao will be a junior. As a junior, he does not want to become a negative example for his younger classmates.
When Song Yuanchao hesitantly told his reasons, Qin Zhengguo waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "This is a small matter. Don't take the train back this time. I will buy you a plane ticket and you can fly back."
"Plane?" Song Yuanchao was stunned. In this era, airplanes were not something that ordinary people could ride. Even the berths depended on one's class.
Qin Zhengguo laughed and told him that it was useful for him and those leaders to eat and drink every day. With his identity as a Hong Kong investor and his local connections, it was not difficult to get a plane ticket for Song Yuanchao. Planes were fast and he would have enough time to leave on the 29th. In terms of time, he would even be able to return to Yanjing earlier than Song Yuanchao could by train.
Since Qin Zhengguo had already made the arrangements, Song Yuanchao no longer refused and agreed with a smile.
After saying this, Qin Zhengguo asked Li Daqi when he could come over, because the work here was about to officially start, but Li Daqi, the general manager of the factory, had not yet arrived.
"Daqi didn't come so soon. He will officially leave Tengfei Factory around the end of the year..." Song Yuanchao had just contacted Li Daqi by phone yesterday. Although Li Daqi is still the director of Tengfei Factory in name, he has actually handed over the factory. Currently, the management of Tengfei Factory has gradually been transferred to the new secretary, but considering the orders and brand issues of Tengfei Factory, the superiors will not let Li Daqi leave for the time being. At least they will not let him go until they have complete control over the factory.
Don’t think that leaders are all fools. Those who can become leaders are not stupid, they are even very smart.
It is simply impossible to let Li Daqi leave now. Song Yuanchao had anticipated such a situation, and the facts have proved it.
"End of the year? So long?" Yesterday, Qin Zhengguo went out for food and drinks and social events, and came back too late, so Song Yuanchao didn't tell him about this. Now, when he heard what Song Yuanchao said, he immediately frowned.
The work here is about to officially start. Li Daqi is the general manager they have appointed. Without the general manager in place, it will be difficult to carry out the subsequent work. In addition, after Song Yuanchao leaves, Ying Caixia will also go to Hong Kong. Qin Zhengguo will have to travel between Pengcheng and Hong Kong for a long time in the future, and will not have much energy to take care of the affairs of the factory.
