The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games Chapter 499

Chapter 499 497. Story Master

“It's funny.”

Mr. Liu raised his cup and invited Cao Yang to have a drink.

"I only remembered these past events when I was eating steak today. That's what happens when people get older, they always get stuck in memories."

"It's okay," Cao Yang said with a smile, "I heard it very well. Mr. Liu's storytelling skills are really extraordinary."

The two complimented each other a few words, and Yanagawa Zhi chatted with him again.

"By the way, does Mr. Cao have any hobbies?"

Yanagawa Shi said while eating steak, "I like to listen to Deyun Society's cross talk. Especially Guo Degang and Yu Qian, I like them very much.

Sometimes they even teach me a paragraph or two, which I find quite interesting. "

Yanagawa Zhi really has this hobby and has actually performed cross talk shows. In his previous life, he asked Uncle Yu Qian to give him a compliment. Later, it was posted on the Internet by netizens. Before Liu's reputation declined, he still won a lot of praise. Cheer less.

"I don't have this hobby." Cao Yang smiled.

"I know that Mr. Cao likes to play games and watch movies. Young people are like this." Yanagawa said.

Although he was praising Cao Yang for being young, Mr. Liu was really right.

Cao Yang doesn't have many hobbies. Apart from work, the rest are really playing games and watching movies.

But after Cao Sining was born, he had a new pleasure -

Funny.

Now that your children have grown up, they don't seem to be very cute anymore, and sometimes they can make you almost mad to death.

So now Cao Yang's remaining fun should be playing games and watching movies.

Oh, yes, and spending time with my wife.

“I'm always afraid that I will fall behind and not understand what young people think in the future.

This is our difference. I like to listen to cross talk, Peking opera, traditional Chinese music and so on.

Mr. Cao likes new things like games and movies.

So I like young people very much, especially young people like Mr. Cao who are young, promising and handsome. I am really happy to be able to talk to you. "

Cao Yang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "No, no, I think Mr. Liu is also very young and can work in the Internet industry. Wherever he is unable to keep up with the times, he is always a pioneer at the forefront, especially Lenovo."

Yanagawa Zhi knew that Cao Yang was praising him, and he felt happy and smiled even more happily.

"Today is the first time that Mr. Cao and I can sit down and have a serious meal like this. Now we really feel like old friends at first sight. It's really fun to have a meal with Mr. Cao." Mr. Liu smiled. explain.

Cao Yang:? ? ? I haven't said anything yet?

Why is this so interesting?

"I'm very happy today. If Mr. Cao is willing to listen, I might as well tell you a few more stories."

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'm also very interested."

"When I mentioned young people just now, let me tell you the story of a young man." Mr. Liu said, "This is also my own personal experience."

"I often say: Don't cause trouble, don't be afraid of trouble, and there will be no trouble in the world; only by being able to do good and evil, can you be honest.

I have made some mistakes in the past, and I still regret them when I think about them.

When I used to work, I liked to focus on the future of the company, but I had no control over some of the looming problems in front of me.

Here I want to talk about a young man named [Sun Hongbin].

In 1990, the company's plan to sell 5,000 Lenovo computers and 10,000 Hanka cards was entirely pinned on the business department and the enterprise department.

The former is responsible for nationwide sales and is controlled by entrepreneurial veteran Jia Xufu; the latter is responsible for 17 branches nationwide, and is actually responsible for nationwide sales, and is controlled by a young man named Sun Hongbin.

This Sun Hongbin is very young, very capable, full of ideas, and driven. I like him very much. "

"There's just one thing," he said with a smile. "Xiao Sun leaves no room for anything. His style is to rush forward. This is just his personality."

Cao Yang listened silently, feeling that the person Mr. Liu described was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Old employees of the company said that the burdens on Lao Jia and Xiao Sun are very heavy. This is true.

However, this sales system creates overlapping responsibilities and interests, and personnel disputes intensify this conflict.

Elderly people are accustomed to doing things according to rules. Even if such rules affect sales efficiency or even company interests, they dare not think too much.

Young people like to go their own way and believe that "as long as the business is done, the company's rules don't matter."

When Sun Hongbin kept complaining that product prices were inelastic and that the branch was unprofitable and would not be motivated, conflicts between the two parties slowly gathered.

When the business opened, Sun also decided that the supply channel run by Lao Jia was too inefficient and delayed business opportunities, so he took it upon himself to find channels outside the company to transport goods.

As a result, the two started to quarrel when they disagreed, and their relationship was full of gunpowder.

Contradictions like this occur in most institutions in China. People usually handle such disputes in a "peaceful" way, allowing the rift to expand and each looking for their own backers and allies, until they split into two irreconcilable camps.

So if you think about it, Lenovo has been in many troubles. After finally overcoming the sales problem, having a market, and starting the business, internal conflicts appeared again. "

Yanagawa sighed, still feeling a little heartbroken when he recalled the situation at the time, "I used to be a nerd and didn't know much about management. My boss and colleagues thought I was a good person, kind and good to my friends, so they promoted me to the position of general manager." Location.

At that time, my mind was completely focused on the company's future business. I never thought that such a big problem would arise within the company. "

Cao Yang frowned when he heard this.

To be honest, he refused before coming to have a meal with Yanagawa Shi today. After chatting here, Cao Yang suddenly felt that it would not be a bad thing to have a meal and chat with him.

Lenovo has a history of almost 23 years since 1986, and Bomi may not experience the twists and turns they have experienced in the future.

Cao Yang feels okay now, mainly because he has enough energy to keep busy and all aspects of the company can handle others.

This is also because he comes from the future, has seen too many things in his previous life, and has good decision-making and grasp of the general direction.

But what about the future?

If one day there really is a young genius like Sun Hongbin mentioned by Yanagawa Shi in the company, and many of his ideas have exceeded Cao Yang's own ability, will there be conflicts within the company by then?

Moreover, Bomi is still on the rise, and many employees have room for advancement. If one day the company's development enters a stagnant period, will there be conflicts among such core members?

Cao Yang didn't even dare to think about it.

In fact, deep down, he is very afraid of the separation of his relatives and friends. The talent he promoted and promoted eventually fell out with him. Just thinking about it makes him feel so uncomfortable.

So he also wanted to hear how Yanagawa Shi dealt with such internal conflicts within the company.

As Shi Yanagawa himself said, internal conflicts within a company are far more terrifying than external ones.

Mr. Liu drank another small glass of wine and continued, "I don't want this kind of situation to happen in the company he leads, especially I can't allow sectarian and clique forces to appear around me.

At a meeting that spring, I decided to handle the dispute between Jia and Sun in a "thunder-like" way.

I first said at the time that the veteran comrades had a strong sense of ownership and were conscientious in their work, but they were somewhat rigid and lacked pioneering spirit and desire to innovate.

It is also said that young comrades have a pioneering spirit and show strong organizational leadership skills, but they are more concentrated in reflecting a self-centered consciousness and are hot-headed after promotion.

I said such impartial words at that time, but actually my heart was still towards the young people. "

Liu said, “I hate the sticky style of doing things, which doesn't care about hard work, but only looks at merit.

For example, the company has been considering how to spread its sales network across the country since 1987. It also had plans to set up "Eight Road Princes" to form a branch system across the country.

Unfortunately, at that time, the company was full of veterans and could not stay away from home for many years, so this plan could never be realized. Until the establishment of the Enterprise Department in October 1989, Sun Hongbin quickly established 13 wholly-owned branches, with a turnover of 24 million yuan. "

Yanagawa told these things one by one, and also listed the facts, saying that in December 1989, due to the negligence of the import department, the company's products were greatly overstocked, and "the branch released more than 10 million yuan of products like a flood."

"So Sun Hongbin's pioneering approach has been favored by the president's office."

"If the praise of Sun Hongbin in these words is not strong enough, then my private tendency will let everyone understand that in the conflict between the old and the new, I stand on the side of the young.

For several days in a row, I invited young people to meet alone one after another, asked them straightforwardly what they thought of Lao Jia, and asked questions such as "Do you think young people have a future in Lenovo and whether they are taken seriously?" and then made an appointment. Li Qin went to talk to Jia Xufu.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xufu relied on his old age and retorted: "The leaders know my problems, and the people below also know my problems. I don't know what my problems are. I hope the leaders can give me more than a dozen answers."

When I heard Li Qin's report, I was really furious.

According to what Li Qin later said, this was a "challenge."

Think about it, the company has not yet been able to sit back and relax, far from the time when everyone can settle down and enjoy the fruits, these people have already begun to show off their power and rely on their old age.

How can the company push forward in the future?

At that time, I deeply felt that Lenovo was in a huge crisis, and this sense of crisis was stronger than ever before. "

Sun Hongbin, a young man, clearly felt that he received support from the company's senior leaders and gradually felt confident.

Chen Hengliu and Sun Hongbin became two new stars. I gave them the leadership of the most important enterprise department of the company. Together with Guo Wei, they formed the cream of the new generation of the company at that time.

I really regarded them as successors to train them.

After all, I am not young myself, and there will always be a time when I step down and give way to someone worthy of my position.

Sun Hongbin, a young man, is clumsy in words but quick in deeds.

He was born in a poor family in Shanxi. Although he studied at Tsinghua University for many years, he still spoke with a Shanxi accent and was laughed at whenever he spoke.

What makes him outstanding is his agility, perseverance, pursuit of goals at all costs, and disregard of any obstacles.

Moreover, this person has a far-sighted vision and has the overall situation in mind, but he just can't express it.

I myself also like people who can talk.

In order for Hongbin to practice his eloquence and get rid of his Shanxi accent, for a period of time, I forced him to tell a story every day.

After spending so much time on Sun, Mr. Cao can understand how much trust and expectations I have for this young man, right? "

"Yeah." Cao Yang nodded.

I also have a hunch that I know what Yanagawa will say next.

As expected, Yanagawa continued, “But things suddenly changed.

One morning, I woke up in Xiangjiang and found a new issue of the newspaper on my desk.

It's called "Lenovo Enterprise News", but it's obviously not the newspaper in which it wrote the publication.

I opened it and saw that this was a newspaper run by the Ministry of Enterprise led by Sun Hongbin. It could also be called the official newspaper of the Ministry of Enterprise. This made me very uncomfortable. The "Enterprise Ministry Platform" published on the front page made me even more unbelievable.

For example, the first article is "the interests of the corporate department are above all else", and the following also states that the manager of the corporate department has the "right to appoint branch managers" and so on. Obviously, what Sun Hongbin did there was not what he expected.

I was thinking at the time that maybe Lao Jia's dislike of him was justified. Could that guy want to turn the Enterprise Department into an independent kingdom to compete with Lenovo?

I was very alert and knew I had to fly back to BJ to correct this mistake myself, but this was both embarrassing and tricky for me. "

Yanagawa frowned and said sadly, "I was eager to find smart and capable young people for the company to replace the old comrades who could not keep up with the trend of the times, but later I was worried that I had messed up the matter."

Shi Yanagawa once said a popular saying: running a company means managing people.

He also said that selecting young people is "the most difficult project of the company."

Cao Yang recalled that it seemed that the old man suffered a lot from the incident involving Sun Hongbin.

However, he compared his own feelings and put him in Liu's position, and felt that this matter was indeed difficult.

One thing Liu said is right -

The future of the company still depends on young people.

Cao Yang is now 30 years old, but he has the heart of a 50-year-old. Hearing Mr. Liu's description, he already has a sense of the picture.

I just hope that this kind of thing will not happen to Bomi in the future.

"The issue comes back to the conference, and I don't intend to hide my concerns about Sun Hongbin.

So I told all the company officials at that time that I was "really surprised" when I saw some words in the "Lenovo Enterprise News". "

Yanagawa Zhi specifically emphasized that he was surprised, using an accent, and Cao Yang could imagine his mood at that time.

But this feeling is probably due to the feeling that Sun may usurp the throne, and he can't suppress this young man?

Cao Yang didn't know. (End of this chapter)
