Chapter 921 Drinking
Ying Annie listened to Sun Yaoliang's explanation and looked at his expression at the same time.
As her husband's bedmate, Ying Annie knows her husband very well and knows what kind of person he is.
“Have you thought about this matter carefully?” Ying Annie asked softly.
Sun Yaoliang nodded and answered in this way.
Ying Annie thought for a moment and asked, "If you resign as the general manager of the sales company, have you ever thought about whether Yuan Chao would agree? You and Yuan Chao are old classmates, and you know him best. Do you think he would agree?"
"I will talk to him about this." Sun Yaoliang said confidently: "It is precisely because he is my old classmate that I made this decision. Besides, the company belongs to everyone. My choice is not only a good thing for myself, but also for the company."
"Isn't talent mobility advocated now? As the saying goes, soldiers come and go in a stable camp. Staying in the same position for a long time is not a good thing for both individuals and companies. Besides, I don't think I will be promoted in the future if I continue to stay here. So I might as well move around. This way, I can give myself a chance and possibility, and at the same time give others a step up."
Sun Yaoliang's words were very truthful, and Ying Annie agreed in her heart, but she still felt that it was a bit hasty for Sun Yaoliang to decide to resign from the position of general manager of the sales company so quickly. She hoped that Sun Yaoliang could consider this issue carefully.
"I will consider this matter carefully. I'm just talking to you today. I'll think about it carefully and make some plans in the next few days. I'll talk to Yuan Chao after the Chinese New Year."
"Husband, no matter what , you must remember that I will definitely support you!" Ying Annie said, holding Sun Yaoliang's hand. Feeling the warmth from his wife's hand, Sun Yaoliang's heart suddenly warmed. He smiled and nodded, gently patted her hand, indicating that he understood.
Then, they did not continue discussing this topic and continued watching the Spring Festival Gala. When it was twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers rang out outside, and the first day of the new year finally arrived.
Song Chaoyuan and Lin Yan's family, including Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin, as well as Li Daqi and Zheng Li, Luo Yang and Li Xiaoyun and their spouses who were in Shanghai, as well as Zhang Jianguo's family and Lin Daoyuan and his wife, and Lin Jianhang and his wife who came to Shanghai from Yanjing, spent the New Year together in Shanghai.
This year's New Year was particularly lively. It can be said that it was the most lively and the year with the most people gathered in the past two years.
Adults and children were all laughing and talking. Except for Zhang Hao who is not in China now, Zhang Hao went to study in the United States in June this year. He was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as he wished. In the next few years, he will basically stay in the United States to pursue a master's and doctoral degree.
Some time ago, before Christmas, when the United States was on a long holiday, Song Yuanchao had a phone call with Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao's studies and life in the United States were very good. Although Zhang Jianguo could now fully afford Zhang Hao's tuition and living expenses, and even with the current financial resources of the Zhang family, Zhang Hao could live very well in the United States.
But Zhang Hao did not rely on his family's support. Not only did he get a full scholarship, he also worked part-time in his spare time to earn his living expenses. As for the money given by his parents, he has not spent any of it for the time being.
Some time ago, Zhang Hao went to Song Yuanchao's company in California for an internship. Zhang Hao had mentioned this arrangement privately to Song Yuanchao before going abroad, and Song Yuanchao agreed to it.
Generally speaking, there are no internship positions for students like Zhang Hao in California companies, but since it was the big boss Song Yuanchao who personally called to arrange it, there was no obstacle for Zhang Hao to enter the company for internship.
Although the internship was not long, just a holiday, feedback from the American company showed that Zhang Hao performed very well during the internship.
This is not just so-called excellence expressed for the sake of Song Yuanchao's face. You have to know that although Americans also value human relationships, they are still very serious about work. Good is good, bad is bad. When giving comments, they will never turn black into white just because the boss has said hello. There is still a bottom line in this regard.
In addition, most of the people in American companies are scientific research and technical personnel, and most of their ideas are very simple, so it is very good for Zhang Hao to get this comment.
Zhang Pingping is going to take the college entrance examination this year, but she has not yet decided which university to apply to.
Logically speaking, Zhang Pingping's grades are good, but because she is a girl, Zhang Pingping is better in liberal arts and far inferior to her brother Zhang Hao in science, so the next college entrance examination will basically be for liberal arts majors, and she is still considering which major to choose.
This Chinese New Year, Lin Daoyuan and his wife brought Wang Xiaoxiao with them. The little girl had been to Shanghai twice before, but this was her first time to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Shanghai.
Speaking of Wang Xiaoxiao, this girl successfully entered the acting class of Beijing Film Academy last year. Originally, Wang Xiaoxiao wanted to enter the Central Academy of Drama, but last year's 1990 acting class of the Central Academy of Drama was quite special, because this year's acting class was a special class recruited from the northwest. As a girl from Yanjing, Wang Xiaoxiao naturally could not apply for this special class. In addition, she did not want to change her major to study directing class or something like that, so she applied for Beijing Film Academy.
The Class of 90 of Beijing Film Academy was also full of talented people. The first famous ones were Wang Lei, Jiang Wu, Wang Jinsong, Xie Lan, Jia Ni and others.
Wang Xiaoxiao was admitted to this class with excellent grades. Just before taking the exam, her master Chen Xiaoer came to give Wang Xiaoxiao pre-exam training. Wang Shuo and a few others also went to join in the fun. At that time, Wang Shuo said that the name Wang Xiaoxiao was not very good. It would not matter if she did not choose this career, but if she did choose this career, she should change her name, otherwise the audience would be easily distracted when they heard the name.
This statement aroused the approval of Chen Xiaoer and others, so everyone asked Wang Shuo to give Wang Xiaoxiao a new name. After all, he is a famous writer now, so it should be an easy thing for him to name her.
Wang Shuo did not refuse. After thinking for a while, he asked everyone what they thought of the name Wang Zishan. Everyone thought it was a good name, so Wang Xiaoxiao had a new name, Wang Zishan. Before the formal exam, she even asked someone to change her household registration and changed her original name.
Wang Xiaoxiao and Zhang Pingping were only one year apart in age, and the two girls of similar age quickly became good friends after meeting each other. Perhaps because of Wang Xiaoxiao, Zhang Pingping suddenly became interested in being an actor. During the Chinese New Year, she kept asking Wang Xiaoxiao privately about how to apply for the Film Academy and also inquired about a lot of information about the school.
Song Yuanchao only found out about this later. On the eve of the college entrance examination, Zhang Pingping suddenly applied for the Shanghai Theatre Academy without telling her family. After the news of her admission came, Song Yuanchao understood what had happened during the New Year.
Speaking of which, Zhang Pingping does have a good talent for acting. Especially after Wang Xiaoxiao left Shanghai after the Chinese New Year, she had the idea of getting into a drama school and began to put it into practice.
Compared to Wang Xiaoxiao, who had the help of a master like Chen Xiaoer and friends like Wang Shuo, Zhang Pingping had much fewer resources. In addition, this girl was afraid that her family would not agree, so she secretly kept it a secret from them.
However, Zhang Pingping was very smart. She took advantage of Lin Yan and Li Xiaoyun's advertising company channels and found opportunities to go there every few days. After a long time, she actually got in touch with several famous old artists from the Shanghai Film Studio through the advertising company. She called them grandpa and grandma all the time and took the opportunity to ask them to be her teachers and started to learn acting.
In addition, Zhang Pingping was beautiful, good at studying, and had a unique temperament. Several teachers liked her very much. When they learned that she planned to apply for the Shanghai Theatre Academy, they were very supportive. After half a year of careful teaching, Zhang Pingping made great progress. In the end, although she only scored in the middle in the professional exam, she was successfully admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy with the first place in the cultural exam, and became a classmate of the later famous actress Wu Yue.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year is almost over.
Lin Jianhang and Lin Yuhang are both busy people, one in the army and the other in the local area. They can only spare two days during the Chinese New Year to spend time with their families, so the two of them left Shanghai first.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin Daoyuan had retired a long time ago, so since they came to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year, they might as well stay a few more days. Besides, their children were all living with Song Yuanchao, so the two old people were happy to stay with them for a few more days.
Song Yuanchao is very busy at work. He will resign from the position of chairman of Nandu after the New Year. Xiaoqi will become the new chairman of Nandu. At the same time, the application for Nandu to go public will also begin soon.
After Song Yuanchao settled his family, he rushed back to Nanjing to deal with the affairs of Nandu. But before he could finish, Sun Yaoliang came directly to him.
After receiving a call from Sun Yaoliang, Song Chaoyuan asked him to go directly to his house in the evening. The two of them hadn't had a drink together alone for a long time, so it was a good opportunity for him to make some side dishes and have a drink.
In the evening, Song Yuanchao was busy in the kitchen when Sun Yaoliang arrived. Seeing Song Yuanchao busy cooking, Sun Yaoliang rolled up his sleeves and went to help without saying a word. The two of them cooked a few side dishes, and added the salted duck and other cooked dishes that Sun Yaoliang bought on the way, and got a bottle of wine and started drinking.
While drinking and chatting, Sun Yaoliang first talked about the promotion. Song Yuanchao had already received a fax report from Jinling in Shanghai, and learned that the promotion was a great success.
This promotion can be said to have set a precedent for promotional activities in the domestic beverage market, especially in the carbonated beverage market. In addition, Sit’s promotion was timed very well, as it happened to be during the busiest sales season of the year from New Year’s Day to the Spring Festival.
In just one and a half months, Sit's market share increased dramatically, with its carbonated beverage market share jumping directly from the third place to the first place, directly suppressing the popular Tianfu Cola and Coca-Cola, not to mention Pepsi.
This event caught all competitors off guard. By the time they came to their senses, it was too late to react. Due to time constraints, even if they made the fastest response, it would take at least a month, by which time the Spring Festival would have already passed.
"Have another bottle" directly pushed Sit's products to a new height. The activity, coupled with the effect of overwhelming advertising, has given Sit an absolute upper hand in the current carbonated beverage market, leaving its competitors behind.
