Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 3
Before the morning meeting of the business department, Wang Yiyuan usually goes to the company's production workshop first.Today, Xingzhong Company's cosmetic boxes are about to be shipped, and there are still a few proofs, so he has to go and have a look.

This is a habit formed by Wang Yiyuan's many years of work. He requires himself to try his best to know everything he is doing at any time.

At the front desk of the warehouse, sales assistant Xiao Lin is billing.The cosmetic boxes of Xingzhong Company have been packed and neatly stacked in the waiting area.

Wang Yiyuan explained a few words to Xiao Lin, the business assistant, and Xiao Yunhua, the production supervisor, and even made a few jokes with Xiao Yunhua.Xiao Yunhua's hometown is Jianli County, Hubei Province, and Wang Yiyuan's hometown is Shuangfeng County, Hunan Province. One is from Hubei and the other is from Hunan. They are considered half fellows, so the two naturally walked closer.

At this time, Wang Liping from the proofing department took a few boxes of samples in her hand, stepped on high-heeled shoes, walked over gracefully, and said to Wang Yiyuan with a smile, Brother Wang, you just happen to be here. Look at it, right?

Wang Liping is a native of Panjin, Liaoning. She is tall, pretty, and has a straightforward personality. She is very popular in the factory, and she is nicknamed "Standard Parts", which means factory flower.

Different from the way of greeting people in the South, Wang Liping from the Northeast, regardless of whether the other party is familiar or not, calls her brother or sister as soon as she says it, and she is very affectionate.Wang Yiyuan is not very used to it until now, and always feels weird.So he laughed at Wang Liping and said, why don't you call your relatives if you want to get married so much?
Several people around laughed, Wang Liping was a little annoyed, and she was about to pinch Wang Yiyuan's waist. She pretended to be vicious and opened her big eyes and said to Wang Yiyuan, "I call you that, do you dare to respond?"Brother Wang.You don't want it for proofing.

No, no, brother will take you to watch the F1 Grand Prix in a few days.Wang Yiyuan surrendered and said quickly.He took the sample and the original sample by hand, walked to the table, and compared them carefully under the fluorescent lamp for a while, then turned and said to Wang Liping, the blue color of this sample is a bit lighter, and he needs to adjust it to make it a little darker. The kind is close to dark blue, which looks good.

Wang Yiyuan worked as a business manager in a printing factory invested by Taiwanese.The factory is located on Laoqinghu Road, close to Huaxiang Road, and not far from the Shanghai Oriental International Trade Wholesale Market. It is an industrial area developed and constructed in a local village.The factory occupies two single-story professional workshops in this industrial area, a little over [-] square meters.

The company name is very grand, called Shanghai Taihu International Printing Co., Ltd.The company's business is mainly to support Taiwan-funded enterprises in Shanghai and nearby Jiangsu and Zhejiang, specializing in the printing of packaging bags and paper products, with more than 150 employees.

The boss is from Taichung, Taiwan. His name is Xiao Jingdong. He prefers to be called Adong. He is very easy-going and shrewd. He is in his 40s.Boss Xiao is said to have come to mainland China with Taiwan Dibia Electronics in the early 90s.

Dibia Electronics Continental is headquartered in Shanghai, and the Dibia brand mobile phones it produced were once well-known in China.Boss Xiao saw the opportunity, and later he came out and started this printing factory on his own, specializing in the supply of packaging boxes and product manuals for Dibia Electronics, and thus slowly started his business.

Now Taihu Company owns the latest Heidelberg six-color printing machine, one four-color printing machine, and a complete series of post-press packaging processing equipment, which is well-known in the printing industry in Shanghai.

In private, the employees all refer to Boss Xiao as Xiao Bazi, mainly referring to his stinginess and sometimes inhuman behavior.Bazi's "Ba" was originally an adjective, roughly the same as the meaning of a country bumpkin. In Shanghai dialect, besides the meaning of a countryman, Bazi mainly refers to someone who does not know the market conditions in Shanghai, is self-righteous, and is easy to be deceived. Foreigner, but it cannot be regarded as a curse word.

Generally speaking, in order to reflect their qualities as metropolitans, Shanghai locals always like to call Shanghainese people who are not used to them, or foreigners who feel out of place, to call them Bazi.What they say verbally is that if you have a few cocks, don't pass through the flowers, and don't know the east, west, south, north, and south when you rest.

Bazi in Shanghai dialect naturally refers to people in China except the downtown area of ​​Shanghai. The farther away, the stronger the "ba" seems to be, such as Jingbazi, Taibazi, Gangbazi, Hanbazi, even Meibazi, Oubazi and so on.

But Boss Xiao Jingdong Xiao’s personality is even more unfortunate. Not only does it fully include the meanings of the above, but there is another layer of mystery in the hearts of employees. It doesn’t work, and the money is always being deducted. This person should not be too bad. They often complain about this and that to the boss and the factory.

Speaking of being a business manager, Wang Yiyuan is actually just an ordinary salesman with a business manager on top.In the business department of Taihu Company, there are six people who actually do business, a business assistant Xiao Lin who is a documentary and coordinator, and a total of eight people including department managers.

The manager of the business department is also Taiwanese, surnamed Ding, and he is Boss Xiao's cousin.This man wears a foreign style all day long, his hair is well-groomed, and even in hot weather, he sometimes wears a suit and tie, especially a pair of leather shoes, so that there is no trace of dust throughout the day.

In order to show his unique foreign style, Manager Ding usually speaks no more than three sentences in a row, and one or two English words will definitely pop out of his mouth, which makes the employees often half understand.Unbearable, most of the employees dismissed him as a dog in private.

Mr. Ding has two special hobbies. One is that he likes meetings the most. The business department has morning meetings every day. On Saturday mornings, the company goes to work normally, and in the afternoon there will be a business scheduling summary meeting for this week.At the beginning of the meeting, I also like to pay attention to the sense of ritual, requiring everyone to stand up, or express their determination, or sing, or clap rhythmically, and cheer each other up.

The second is to fill in the form, and it is called form management.Business personnel have to fill in the daily work management tracking form every day, not only to fill in the specific contact person, contact number and method, the project and location to be handled, but even the specific time must be divided into one hour as required, and the work done every hour Everything should be written clearly and itemized.

At the scheduling meeting on Saturday, each salesperson has to submit the work summary of the previous week, and also fill in the work plan for the next week, set specific goals and the time to achieve them, and finally sign and sign, and compare them one by one in the next meeting report examine.

At that time in Shanghai, as well as the surrounding Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, many Taiwan-funded enterprises gathered.Relatively speaking, Taiwan-funded enterprises in the mainland are more willing to deal with Taiwan-funded enterprises because they have the same origin and are far away from their native Taiwan.

With this natural advantage, the business development of Taihu Company has gone smoothly, and it has achieved great development in a short period of time. At present, it has many large customers such as ASUS Computer and Compal Computer.

Boss Mr. Xiao and Manager Ding combined accounted for more than half of the total business share of Taihu Company.As for Wang Yiyuan and other salesmen, in addition to constantly developing new customers, they are also responsible for the communication and coordination of existing customers in different areas assigned by the company, payment collection, visits, customer support and maintenance, etc.

Speaking of the reason why Wang Yiyuan entered the Taihu company, the process was quite tortuous, which is quite interesting.Wang Yiyuan used to work in Ningbo. When he first came to Shanghai to look for a job in March this year, his eyes were darkened. Apart from a few limited experiences in previous business trips to Shanghai, he had a rough, simple and superficial impression of Shanghai. People I don't know.

Although Wang Yiyuan has several years of work experience, and even has some achievements, but he is new to Shanghai, and he has to reinvent everything if he continues to look for a job.What he used to do in Ningbo was production management, a large-scale garment accessories production enterprise.

But when he came to Shanghai this time, he wanted to make a change. He was determined to learn to do business. It is challenging, it may be more helpful to his future development, and it may be more promising if it is done well, which is more in line with his impulse and determination to come to Shanghai.

After thinking about what to do, Wang Yiyuan's next job search goal is naturally very clear: a large industry company that he can do.

The process of finding a job was relatively smooth. After entering and exiting the talent market many times, comparing the job advertisements in various newspapers and periodicals, after constant contact, interviews, and screening, after ten days in Shanghai, Wang Yiyuan finally chose Taihu.

It's a bit funny to say that the reason why it is a Taihu company is mainly due to the half-page color recruitment advertisement of the Taihu company in the "51JOB" newspaper.Wang Yiyuan thought to himself at the time, since he can use half of the color version to advertise and recruit people, the company should be capable.
