National Tide 1980.

When Ning Weimin first arrived at Pierre Caton Japan Co., Ltd., there was a little commotion.

This is not only because his personal image and the gifts he gives are a bit dazzling.

It goes against the Japanese people's preconceived imagination of a third world country, and it is impossible for these Japanese people to find the slightest sense of superiority as citizens of developed countries from him.

Also because of his free and easy performance and lack of hierarchy, it is not in line with Japanese daily habits and values.

Regardless of the fact that the Japanese are the most foreign-loving and foreign-loving, they have been eager to "leave Asia and enter Europe, and fully westernize" since modern times.

And the ability to learn is very strong, can quickly digest the products invented and created by the West, and then keep improving and carry forward on the basis of others.

Seems very open and modern conscious.

But to be honest, it's all on the surface.

Japan is actually a small country that seriously lacks cultural self-confidence and has been fooled and lame.

In the past, as a vassal state of China, they regarded Confucianism as the supreme principle of the world, making Japan even more feudal and autocratic than China.

So much so that "righteousness" is completely placed above "human feelings", starting from the righteousness of the monarch, even at the expense of killing his own children, and taking it for granted and proud.

Later, I felt the power of Western science and technology, and I turned to identify with Western culture, and believed that everything in the West was good.

Even the depraved things are completely accepted, and I can't wait to bleach my own skin white.

But they don't know what they accept, many of which are used by the strong for brainwashing.

This is the sadness of a small country without its own native culture.

It wasn't something that belonged to you in the first place, and you haven't been able to learn the core essence of it.

In addition, I don't know how to adapt, and I often learn the shortcomings of others.

And the sudden abandonment of one culture and the adoration of another is easy to change.

However, it is impossible to completely eradicate and isolate the cultural influence that has been infiltrated into the bones for thousands of years.

You must know that Sinology is the backbone of Japanese traditional culture. It not only builds the Japanese way of thinking and social hierarchy, but also has a profound impact on Japanese aesthetic tastes and life preferences.

If Japan wants to change from one extreme to the other in reality, it is impossible to abandon the tradition immediately.

As a result, the Japanese who turned to envy the West showed a serious sense of self-contradiction and tearing in culture and thought.

So for many things, the little devil is disgusted with integrity.

Don't say no, we're not like this, in fact it's really fragrant, and it's going to get worse.

So it becomes more and more hypocritical and mercenary.

It can be said that the Japanese are invertebrates without a backbone.

Never have self-confidence, can't insist on self, always imitate others, like to see the wind and the rudder.

It is also doomed that they will only nod and bow after others' ass.

This nation is probably because they live by the sea, and they are as strong on the outside as crabs or lobsters.

What they have is only courtesy and obedience from the weak, arrogance from ignorance, short-sighted selfishness from philistines, and arrogance and arrogance to cover up feelings of inferiority.

To put it bluntly, this is the key difference between expensive and cheap.

The Japanese have always lacked the sense of security that a big country can only enjoy.

Therefore, it is awkward to live, it is difficult to have access, and the best state is to be a nouveau riche.

And these characteristics seem to be able to be seen from the details of the reception of Ning Weimin by the Japanese branch.

In fact, Ning Weimin and the two front desk ladies were just polite about gifts, and it wasn't a big deal.

But some people couldn't get used to it, and suddenly a strange rebuke sounded.

"What's the matter? Don't you have to do anything? During working hours, why do you seem to be chatting and laughing? You still accept gifts of the opposite sex? Is this your friend?"

It was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle who made a sneer, as if he happened to come out of the office area.

He was not tall and wore an old Pierre Caton suit from a few years ago.

But it looked unsmiling, and that face was like the dean of the school inspecting students for violating discipline.

And his appearance immediately attracted a sincere explanation from the two reception ladies at the front desk.Bow together and apologize.

"Director Taniguchi, that's not the case, please don't get me wrong, this is Ning Sang from Pilcarton Huaxia Company."

"Yes, Section Chief Oda specifically explained to us in the morning that there is a guest from the capital visiting today, this is Ning Sang."

Only then did Ning Weimin know the surname and approximate identity of the person who said this, in order to smooth things out and not cause trouble to others.

He quickly nodded with a smile and stood in front of the "Mediterranean".

"Hello, Director Taniguchi, right? I'm Ning Weimin from Peel Catton Company in the capital. It's the first time we meet, so please take care of me."

However, Ning Weimin did not present his business card and did not report his position because he also belonged to the Pilkardon Company.

As a result, he was despised because he was from the Republic and was too young.

The Taniguchi looked at him indifferently, and definitely regarded him as an ordinary member of the Pier Caton Huaxia Company.

He ignored him at all, but continued to teach the two front desk ladies a lesson.

"Hmph, even so, it's not a reason. Don't you forget your job responsibilities and requirements! You two are serving one person together. When did your front desk work become so easy? If that's the case, the company might as well dismiss you. One of them. You are wasting the company's money like this, don't you feel any guilt? Besides, who allowed you to accept gifts at will? I will tell Section Chief Oda about this..."

The two front desk ladies were about to cry, and bowed and apologized together with red faces.

Seeing this, Ning Weimin blamed himself more and more, and stepped forward to block the two trembling girls behind him.

"Director Taniguchi, please don't be angry. It's actually my fault, I took the initiative to joke with them. The gift is also, in fact, I..."

His tall stature completely obscured Taniguchi's vision.

Not being able to see the two girls made the middle-aged greasy man who was enjoying the apology obviously a little unhappy.

In addition, Ning Weimin didn't have the habit of bowing, just a smiley face that reduced the big things to the little things.

It even made Taniguchi feel that his authority was being challenged.

Asshole, I'm teaching the people of this company a lesson. An ordinary employee of Huaxia Company dares to interrupt randomly.

Such an oily, noodle-like, playboy-like boy who only knows how to please girls with company property.

Did you eat the gall of a bear heart and a leopard?

Therefore, Ning Weimin did not allow Ning Weimin to explain the basic situation clearly, to say that everyone had a share of the gift, or to take out a gift with practical actions.

This Taniguchi blew up like a powder keg, and angrily reprimanded him.

"Hehe, don't the employees of Huaxia Pilcarton Company need to undergo induction training? They don't even understand basic etiquette! Your company should send you to Japan very highly, and it means cultivation, right? But what do you do? It's not polite to talk to seniors? You don't bow, and you don't care. This is a serious rudeness, and it's a shame! Do you know?"

Cover your face!
The rebuke became louder and louder, and several people in the company's office area were attracted by Taniguchi's voice.

But he was more and more excited because of this, as if in front of other colleagues, it was a very powerful thing to teach people a lesson.

Ning Weimin frowned slightly, he actually quite understands the mentality of such a person.

Most people who like to bully the soft and fear the hard have no real ability, and lack temperament and tolerance.

But I especially want to be recognized and respected by others, so I want to express my status in this way.

In fact, there are such masters in China, the most typical of which is the "Marxist-Leninist old lady".

However, a big factor is also due to menopause. There is absolutely no man like this guy.

Because if a man is this stingy, he will often be beaten, and the glass at home will be broken in the middle of the night.

"Director Taniguchi, thank you for your advice. I'll take a good look at the communication etiquette here in Tokyo. Probably because I don't know the situation here, that's why we have misunderstandings. If you don't mind, can this matter come to this point? until?"

"What is your attitude? Haven't you realized your mistake yet? If your class leader knew that you behaved like this in Tokyo, he would be ashamed of you too, right?"

"That...I don't have a class leader."

"No section chief? There aren't just a few people in the capital. Apart from the president, there are no other cadres who assist in managing the company, right?"

"How is that possible? Our company currently has more than 160 people in charge of office business. There are also many levels of the company. Maybe it is called differently. We don't have the name of the president, but the general manager. The general manager is the various departments. The manager, the deputy manager, and then the supervisor and team leader. I don’t know which one corresponds to our side?”

"This...it's also possible...the section head...probably the supervisor..."

"Oh, I understand now. Then the section chief is my subordinate. In fact, I have always talked to Mr. Caton in China. Our cadres, whether managers, supervisors, or store managers, communicate with each other. It's so easy and equal. There's no such thing as inferior. So it seems that the internal communication of our branch in Beijing seems to be closer to the situation of the head office in France than the Tokyo side..."

"Hey? You... can you talk to the president directly? How is it possible..."

"President? What is the president? Isn't Mr. Caton the chairman? Hey, forget it, I'll explain this misunderstanding to your company's supervisor Ishikawa. He has been in contact with me by phone. We made an appointment to meet here. I would like to meet him now if it is convenient..."

Heaven and earth conscience.

Ning Weimin really didn't think about dressing up again.

After all, they are two companies. No matter how big he is in the capital, he can't control the Tokyo period, right?

But the problem is that he wants to calm down, but this guy named Taniguchi is pressing step by step, and he has to bump into him.

Well, now he can't help but talk about Piercarton.

But not to mention, the Japanese actually eat this.

Hearing what he said, this Taniguchi immediately became frightened, and even the two front desk ladies did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately called their superior, Section Chief Oda.

And when Supervisor Ishikawa, who helped him go abroad, brought Section Chief Oda, and really came out of the office to greet him.

Taniguchi was already sweating profusely, and then he slumped to the ground, and a soil seat came.

Look at how disparate this slave-faced maid is compared to just now?Isn't it rude?

It made Ning Weimin embarrassed, as if he deliberately concealed something, just wanted to find trouble, and showed off in a high-profile manner at the door of the human company to show his sense of self-existence.

The most amazing thing was that later, he really figured out how big a bird official this Tani's verbal "director" was.

Dareqing is very different from a director who has a certain amount of power in China.

Because Japanese companies pay attention to the "sequence of seniority", that is, upgrades and salary increases according to seniority, ability, and contribution.

Therefore, old employees who have been in the company for a certain year will be given a certain level of promotion, which is the so-called director.

To put it bluntly, it only refers to people who are relatively proficient in working procedures among ordinary employees, and they cannot be regarded as management positions with greater power at all, and they are several levels away from section chiefs.

Co-authoring just now, Ning Weimin had been taught a lesson by the role of the domestic janitor.

Speaking of which, I don't know if it's his bad luck or Taniguchi's bad luck.
