Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 85 Huo Zhichao 6
A month of intense work.

Arrange venues, prepare meetings, visit users, invite users, confirm users, and at the same time never let go of performance and orders.

Everyone is overloaded, and it is too hasty to prepare such a large-scale event in a month, and this is an event that has to face the president, and no mistakes can be made.

Horton is probably the only one who can enjoy leisure every day, and he has reached a strange friendship of loving and killing each other with the heroes of the representative office.The Skydon savages headed by Li Kefei would scold the streets while working, accumulating incomparable hatred for Holden, and then took Holden to a good meal at the right time to resolve the grievances in their hearts, and continued to work hard the next day.But the dissatisfaction in his heart accumulated to a certain point, which was the moment when Holden took care of the meal again.The two sides never tire of it, and Horton quickly accepted this approach.

The schedule of the meeting was gradually enriched and full, and finally everything was finalized, and users also arrived in Shanghai one after another, staying in designated hotels.Then, Steve and his team also arrived in Shanghai one after another, and a large-scale SKydon event week is about to kick off.

The activities of Skydon quickly attracted the attention of competitors. Regardless of Eka, Tike, Jiawa, Kangmu, or domestic manufacturers Dongfang and Shangda, the relevant managers wrote the matter in their monthly reports.

Eka's report wrote: We have never seen satellite navigation manufacturers hold such a large-scale market action outside Europe and America before.It is the first time for the president to participate in a series of activities in person.

The cost of this event should be very staggering, we can't judge how much business SKydon can really get through such a big show.But what is certain is that this represents SKydon's determination to deeply cultivate the Chinese market.It can also be seen that Skydon has expectations and confidence in Asia, especially the Chinese market.

Lenovo has obtained the Asian satellite navigation market analysis report before, and Skydon should have confirmed that there will be more large-scale projects similar to the base station network of the engineering center in the Chinese market in the future. Of course, this also includes the future phase II or even phase III of the engineering center itself. project.

We hope that this matter can get the attention of Eka's top management. We may not have to follow the example of a large-scale event like SKydon, but we need to do something for the Chinese market.

Eka China will send its own team to register and participate in various forums of SKydon under various names. I will update the information gained in the monthly report next month.

……

No one knew that such an important event in Skydon originated from Horton's nonsense.

The arrival of President Steve made everyone completely lose their freedom, and the friendly dinner with Holden was also temporarily suspended.It's not busier than before, all the busyness is coming to an end, just need to prepare for the official meeting.But everyone has to be on standby at any time. I don't know who the president will suddenly arrest for a meeting.

Mr. Zhao also came to Shanghai and had a discussion with Steve together with other agents.After the meeting, Mr. Zhao wanted to ask Zhang Yong to have dinner with him. Zhang Yong replied that he couldn't leave, and we were on standby at the hotel 24 hours a day.

Master Zhao thought for a while, and called the madman again.

"Brother Madman, are you here yet? I'll treat you to local cuisine."

"Thank you. But I want to stay with Academician Zhu the whole time. I don't have my own time. If time is convenient, I will contact you."

Mr. Zhao was helpless, and finally he called Liang Hui, "Mr. Liang, is it convenient? Let's have dinner together if nothing matters." He was not rejected this time.

……

In the early morning, Steve, in sportswear, was running along the jogging route on the hotel map.

He saw a young man with black hair and yellow face stretching in an open space. He remembered that this should be an employee of the Beijing Representative Office, but he couldn't remember his name, so he began to search for the intersection of this Chinese employee in his memory.

Welcome dinner, this young man seems to be there.

A cocktail party with some of the first users, as if he was there.

A meet and greet with Paul and John's team, he's on.

There is also a preparatory meeting for Steve's meeting with the president, and this young man is also there.

However, Steve can't remember what he said at all. Perhaps, this employee has not spoken in several meetings.

Thinking of this, Steve suddenly turned a corner and came to the young man.

"Good morning."

"Morning, Mr. President." The other party obviously did not expect to meet the president.

"Are you from the Beijing office? What's your name?"

"My name is Zhang Yong, you can call me Yong."

"Okay, Yong, find me in the conference room on the 25th floor at about five o'clock this afternoon. I have something to talk to you about."

Zhang Yong was obviously shocked, "Is it just me? Do you want to inform John and Paul, other colleagues in the representative office?"

"No, you can come by yourself. Do you have other arrangements at this time?"

"I didn't, I was in the hotel just preparing for some unexpected meeting or something."

"Very well, see you in the afternoon." Steve didn't stop, and continued to run forward.

John was taken aback when he learned that Steve wanted to meet Zhang Yong, and hurriedly found Paul to report, only to find that Paul knew nothing about it.

Paul frowned again, "Did Steve know him before?"

"It should have never been seen before. The only possible chance to meet was the last global conference in Australia, but Zhang Yong was absent that time."

"Is it possible that Zhang Yong contacted Steve privately. You know, he also emailed SKydon before and got Karl's attention."

"Zhang Yong's email was written to technical support, and technical support will reply to every letter. But Steve will not. He has too many things to come out, and there are probably hundreds of emails every day, which is not familiar to him. He usually deletes people or things directly, and there is no possibility that he will read a letter from a Chinese employee. If you don’t delete it, the most likely thing is to forward it to you or me.”

"Then how did he find Zhang Yong? Why not someone else, but him?"

John was speechless. He came to Paul to seek answers.

"Let's see what happens? Zhang Yong will always do something different from others. I hope he won't cause trouble for us. Or, you should reconsider whether you should keep him."

"Is there a possibility that Steve just saw him temporarily, and then thought of talking to him temporarily."

"He is the president, how could he communicate with a low-level employee on a temporary basis. This is a bit unbelievable, so please pay attention."

Zhang Yong arrived at the conference room on the business floor at 4:30, and then sat quietly on the seats outside and waited.Steve was really busy. He looked at the people coming and going in the meeting room, and he had a premonition in his heart that the meeting might not start on time.

Sure enough, he waited until 18:30, but he was still not summoned.He's a little fidgety, but there doesn't seem to be any other option than to wait.

Steve's assistant appeared in front of him, "Sorry to keep you waiting. At this moment, Steve will simply eat something in the conference room. Do you want to go to dinner first and then come back. But Steve Husband’s dinner is very simple, and I think it may end soon.” After speaking, he looked at Zhang Yong expectantly.

Zhang Yong did not disappoint him, "I'm not hungry yet, I can continue to wait."

"Thank you, Zhang Yong, you are so understanding."

After dinner, Steve still didn't meet Zhang Yong, he had two meetings in a row.Finally, I asked the assistant, "Is it possible to end today, I'm really tired."

"Zhang Yong from the Beijing representative office has been waiting outside the door for several hours. He said that you invited him over this morning."

"Zhang Yong?" Steve raised his head in confusion, "Who is it? Do I know him?"

"A Chinese employee of the representative office, I think you should have seen him these few days. But I don't know why he came here. He said that you asked him to come here when you were running this morning."

this morning?running?Steve frowned and thought for a while, and vaguely remembered that he had made an appointment with a Chinese employee, but he forgot why.

"Or, let him go back first, and say that we can talk again when we have time."

"Okay, Steve, do I need to confirm the next time with him?"

"No, just say next time. By the way, Holden tonight..." Speaking of Holden, Steve suddenly remembered what happened this morning, and also remembered what he wanted to talk about.

"Go and tell this Chinese man, what is his name, oh, Yong, yes, you go and tell Yong, let him wait for me at the bar on the basement floor, I'm tired, I want to go have a drink, let's meet there .”

"Okay, should I inform Paul?"

"No need to notify anyone else."

"Okay, Mr. President."

The bar is very quiet, it's not the kind of feasting and singing performed by bands outside, a few people are chatting in low voices accompanied by soothing music.

Steve changed into casual clothes, drank beer comfortably, and soothed his body after a tiring day.

Zhang Yong on the opposite side was also holding a glass of beer, quietly listening to the music in the bar, as if he didn't want to take the initiative to say anything.

"You are very quiet. This morning seems to be the first time I heard you speak. Before that, I wasn't even sure if you could speak English."

Zhang Yong smiled, "Steve, you can rest assured that I have no language barrier or stage fright. When I need to speak, I will speak."

"Why haven't I heard you speak these days?"

"Because of the group meeting, there is no need for too many voices. If someone reports, I don't need to repeat the same content. Also, the leader of the Beijing team is John, so he can report."

"Oh, where are you from? I mean which city in China?..."

Steve seemed to have forgotten what to talk about with Zhang Yong, and he chatted with Zhang Yong casually.

Zhang Yong felt that the president seemed to be too easy-going, and the leader of a big company should not be like this.

When he was gradually relaxing and even a little bored, he suddenly heard Steve ask, "Do you not like this activity?"

He froze for a moment, but didn't turn his head around for a moment, "How could it be? We arranged everything with all our efforts. This is not only the result of SKydon, but also ours."

"Oh, it's all arranged by you with all your heart? So, the "we" you said doesn't include Holden, does it?"

Zhang Yong looked up guiltily, and found that Steve had completely lost his easy-going attitude just now, and a pair of sharp eyes were staring at his face.

He and Steve looked at each other, and neither of them spoke for a few seconds.

Finally, Zhang Yong lowered his head and terminated their eye contact.

"Mr. President, you are really wise. In fact, none of this is hidden from you, right?"

"Tell me about the specific situation, Yong."

"Steve, since you already know everything, why do you want me to say it? And with so many people around you, it should be Carl, Paul, Chris who should tell you the truth, not me. If it wasn't for us this morning If you meet me, you may not even remember who I am."

"So what do you think of this event? Is our large-scale meeting just a boring show just to help Carl complete his career."

Steve noticed that Zhang Yong's mood suddenly changed, and he was a little angry.

"Steve, I think it's very unfair to our Chinese team if you say that. The cause of this incident is indeed the problem of Carl and Holden, but since everything can't be changed...Of course I don't understand, Why can’t everything be changed? We will try our best to make this show a valuable and meaningful event. As the president, you don’t have many opportunities to come to China, so we also make full use of your China trip, Maximize Skydon's interests.  …”

"In the past month, my colleagues and I have worked extremely hard, not only mentally, but also physically. Now we can guarantee that this is the most successful event since SKydon entered China..."

"If you comment on this show like this, you hurt the feelings of all our Chinese employees. We didn't get an extra salary, but we did a job that didn't belong to us, and we had to do our best. Every forum in this conference , every lecture, and even every invited guest, we have carefully prepared.”

"It was Carl who made the mistake, but no one in the entire SKydon stood up and said a word, but asked us to help him solve the problem. Holden was smart, he tricked Carl, and Carl was smart, he pulled you in. But you You are the one who can really control everything, you have seen through all the tricks. But I don't understand, what's the point of you talking to me? Is it just to confirm your speculation?"

Steve looked at Zhang Yong very unexpectedly. He hadn't spoken much before, but as he himself said, he was very good at talking when needed.

"I take my words back. I am very grateful for the efforts of the Chinese employees. The president is not an easy job. I will try to make as few mistakes as possible instead of making no mistakes. I do support Carl and Horton's approach. I think it is good for us. The work is good. But I came to China and quickly found the problem. I had a hard time finding Holden in everything. I asked you to find out because you haven't spoken in the past few days. So I thought maybe I could hear something different from you. Sure enough, you didn't disappoint me."

"Knowing the truth, what are you going to do?"

"You said, this will be the most successful Chinese event in SKydon's history, and we will do it well."

"Where's Carl and Holden?"

"Because of the success of this grand event, I can only give Carl a commendation, otherwise it will cause discussion."

"Where's Holden?"

"He may not have any more contracts with us, but we will execute this contract. We will also publish news about working with him on the website. But after a week, we will take down all the content about Holden, and he has been since then. Disappeared in our industry."

"Where's the Beijing representative office?"

"I will let Paul reward you, but it may be in a different name."

"Understood," Zhang Yong took a deep breath, "Since you know everything and don't want to make any changes, why do you want to investigate the truth?"

"Because I am the top executive of SKydon, I can not expose some things to ensure the normal operation of the entire system. But because I am the president, I don't like people doing things without telling me, I want to know all the truth."

Zhang Yong sighed, "Did you know? Horton had predicted everything a long time ago. He said that political correctness is not only with Chinese characteristics, but also with Americans. I didn't believe him at first, but now I know that everything he said is right. of."

"Human beings are interlinked. Eastern and Western cultures are indeed different, but many choices, Chinese and Americans are the same. Well, Zhang Yong, thank you for all the information today, cheers..."

"After drinking this cup, go back and rest early, we still have a lot to do tomorrow."

"Mr. President, I will try my best to complete this meeting. But after the meeting, I want to leave SKydon."

Steve looked at Zhang Yong in surprise, he didn't expect such a result, he wanted to keep him, but also wanted to ask why.

But he quickly calmed down and finally said only one sentence, "If you want to resign, please apply directly to John, he is your boss. Good night"
