Chapter 213 Leadership Conversation
"Xiao Zhou, you have basically finished reporting the situation there." Xu Zhibin, the executive deputy general manager who had been to Seoul to attend the groundbreaking ceremony before, asked Zhou Jing.

"Yes, Mr. Xu, the basic situation is like this." Zhou Jing closed the folder in front of him and said seriously.

"Then, you don't need to attend the following meeting. A resolution will be issued to you later, but don't rush to leave. Wait for me in my office. I have something to talk to you about."

Xu Zhibin unexpectedly proposed to talk to Zhou Jing alone later, which made Zhou Jing confused for a moment what the leader's intentions were, but anyway, the leader's instructions must be carried out, so Zhou Jing packed his things Just left the conference room.

The general manager's office meeting didn't last very long. After waiting for more than an hour, Xu Zhibin returned to the office. Seeing this, Zhou Jing quickly stood up from the sofa, but Xu Zhibin smiled and motioned him to sit down.

"Mr. Xu, is there anything missing in my report?" Zhou Jing asked Xu Zhibin with some doubts.

"It's not because of this, don't be nervous, I have some other things I want to talk to you about." Xu Zhibin also sat down on the sofa, took out his bag of soft Zhonghua, unwrapped it, and gave Zhou Jing a cigarette. After lighting a cigarette, he said to Zhou Jing.

"Xiao Zhou, I have been in Korea for more than two months. I want to know how Koreans view our project, especially in the eyes of ordinary local people."

As soon as Zhou Jing lit his cigarette, he was stunned by Xu Zhibin's question. He had never thought about this question before, so he didn't know how to answer it. After thinking for a long time, he had to honestly say his answer.

"Mr. Xu, to be honest, I can only say that I don't know about this issue. Usually, we really haven't thought about thinking about it from this perspective."

"Haha...Xiao Zhou, I told you not to be nervous. It's normal that you haven't considered this issue. After all, you were all doing projects in China before." Speaking of this, Xu Zhibin put away his smile and said seriously, "But It’s different now, your project is the largest overseas investment project of Sangang so far, you have to think about some issues.”

Seeing that Zhou Jing was still puzzled, Xu Zhibin patiently explained to Zhou Jing what his original intention and thinking were when he asked this question.

It turned out that CCTV broadcast a documentary called "loser and winner" (loser and winner) a few years ago. This documentary won many international documentary awards in 2007. Xu Zhibin felt very touched after watching it.

This documentary is about what happened in the Ruhr Industrial Zone in Dortmund, Germany, where there is a coking plant with the most advanced technology in the world, which was shut down due to the adjustment of industrial structure after only eight years of operation. All technical patents were packaged and sold to a Chinese company.

Two German directors followed and filmed about 400 Chinese workers. It took two years to dismantle the entire coking plant and transport it to China, which was exactly half the time estimated by the German engineers.

The film records in detail the down-to-earth, hard-working and enterprising spirit of the Chinese workers. Although there were various differences in the cooperation process with the German engineers due to different ideas, the Chinese workers always tried their best to solve the difficulties and race against time. Finally, all the work tasks were successfully completed.

For the first time, this documentary showed the mental outlook and professional attitude of contemporary Chinese workers in a panoramic and frontal manner. Once it was broadcast, it triggered discussions in the entire German society. It can be said to be a very good positive publicity for Chinese companies.

So Xu Zhibin has been thinking about this question recently, how to do a good job in the company's overseas investment projects and to promote the excellent style of contemporary Chinese companies, so that good projects can benefit the local area and win a good reputation.

"Mr. Xu, I can understand what you said, but this subject is too big, and we don't have the conditions to do it like them." Zhou Jing understood what Xu Zhibin wanted to express, but he didn't understand what this question had to do with it. What's the use of him talking.

“You should attach great importance to this issue. Last time there was a conflict with the locals, you can’t treat this incident in isolation. This shows that we haven’t done a good job in publicity. The local people don’t understand the impact of our project on the local economy and employment. benefits." Xu Zhibin took a sip of water from his thermos cup and continued:

"I think you should have the conditions to solve this problem. No, to be precise, you, Xiao Zhou, have the conditions to deal with this problem."

"Me? Mr. Xu, I don't quite understand what you mean." Zhou Jing really didn't understand what Xu Zhibin said, and he didn't understand how he had the conditions to deal with such a problem.

"Haha...Xiao Zhou, I heard that you have developed some contacts in South Korea in the past two months, and even have contacts with their cultural circles. I'm not wrong." Facing Zhou Jing Doubt Xu Zhibin said with a laugh.

"Mr. Xu, I..." Xu Zhibin's words made Zhou Jing break out in a cold sweat immediately, but when he wanted to explain, Xu Zhibin directly interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"You don't need to explain too much. We all understand the matter. I'm not criticizing you now, but reminding you what to do." Xu Zhibin sent another cigarette to Zhou Jing, and then continued to explain.

"We also have to look at the problem dialectically. As far as I know, you should have contacted that SM company. Don't think that they have nothing to do with our industry. Publicity is inseparable from the position of public opinion."

"Haven't you ever thought of using this opportunity and platform to do some positive publicity for our company? You must know that such conditions of public opinion are very rare."

Zhou Jing didn't expect Xu Zhibin to say such a thing. He already knew about SM company's insinuating use of him to hype it up. Opened a new window, the leader is the leader, it seems that his own structure is a bit small.

"Mr. Xu, I understand what you mean, but I still don't know how to do it." Zhou Jing thought for a long time and felt that the idea was good, but he still had no idea how to operate it.

"This is a long-term task. You don't have to rush to give an answer. You can see how to do it specifically, but the premise is that you don't violate the principles and touch the bottom line. I will leave this part to you. You are young and flexible. The previous few Everything is handled well, so you can do it boldly, and if you are not sure, you can report to me directly, I have confidence in you." Xu Zhibin patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder and said.

"I understand, Mr. Xu, please rest assured, I will do my best." Now that the leader has said so, Zhou Jing must find a way to try.

"Okay, I have confidence in you, and I have something else to ask you." Xu Zhibin nodded in satisfaction at Zhou Jing's statement, and then asked a new question, "Have you thought about long-term Are you working in Korea?"

"what?"
