Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1092: Yanhuang is big enough, and my ambition is big enough
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhaojiang felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

As a lion fan, he knows that Ngalalarik is the new generation lion king of Sabison, South Africa, and is completing his rule over the Sabison Reserve with his unparalleled strength and wisdom.

Qing Yun compared him to Engalarik, which was undoubtedly the highest recognition of his abilities.

Zhu Zhaojiang felt an unprecedented excitement, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly due to the fluctuations of emotions.

"Boss Xiaoqing, I won't let you down!"

Qing Yun was standing aside, and when he saw Zhu Zhaojiang starting to tremble all over, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He patted Zhu Zhaojiang's shoulder affectionately and said in a joking but extremely serious tone,

"I know you are excited, but don't get excited yet. I chose you not only because of your ability and experience, but also because of another reason.

In fact... this reason is the main reason why I chose you."

Zhu Zhaojiang gradually calmed down, his eyes revealing curiosity and anticipation about the unknown, and he responded politely,
"Please tell me in detail, Mr. Xiaoqing."

Qingyun invited him to sit down, and Qin Manyan made a new pot of tea with a charming smile, which made Zhu Zhaojiang feel flattered.

Putting aside Qin Manyan's identity as a beautiful and wealthy woman, she is actually a legitimate boss lady.

Zhu Zhaojiang repeatedly said that he was not worthy of the title, but Emperor Yun smiled and assured him that he deserved it.

These words...

Zhu Zhaojiang seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing. He seemed to understand Qing Yun's intention, but he also felt as if he was involved in a bigger chess game.

Facing Zhu Zhaojiang's confusion, Qing Yun continued to explain,

"I had a few brothers in high school. They will be my right-hand men in my career in the future. I can even say that they are my brothers of different surnames and my most important team.

I also have several roommates in college whose potential I admire.”

Zhu Zhaojiang nodded to show his understanding. It was all human nature and he would not complain about anyone getting rich quicker than him.

There was no way. Qing Yun’s past had already been thoroughly dug up by media reporters after the college entrance examination.

The three years of love and care that those high school roommates showed to Qingyun has become a legend among the outside world.

These overwhelming reports of positive energy forced Zhu Zhaojiang to read them even if he didn't want to.

The targeted choice of university majors by the subsequent few people made him feel that these kids were so lucky.

However, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are brothers.

He can understand it too.

As for the university...

From Qing Yun's choice of words just now, he could also tell that being roommates in college was a far cry from being brothers in high school.

But it cannot be underestimated. After all, the former is a royal relative, and the latter is a dormitorymate and classmate. This kind of friendship is much purer than the relationship in society.

This kind of person is the best candidate for the team.

He knew very well that what matters most to a team is not ability.

But they are the people who can stay with you and never leave you in times of adversity, and the people who dare to show their backs to the enemy on the battlefield.

There were 13 people in the group, and in the end only Mr. Dong accompanied the librarian to the gate of the city wall.

Therefore, Mr. Dong, whose career was relatively unremarkable compared to others, was labeled a "leader" with the word "model". This is the only example.

And when the administrator led a delegation to Lao Xiong's house for negotiations in 50, the person in charge at home was none other than the least conspicuous Mr. Dong.

This is the team, representing absolute trust.

At this moment, Emperor Yun's gaze became firm and deep, and his voice was calm but full of power.
“Zhu Zhaojiang, I value more than just your professional ability, potential, and resilience.

The most important reason why I chose you is that you are a good coach!

In China, Yanhuang Group has indeed taken a leading position in various fields, but this does not mean that we can sit back and relax.

If they follow me and just play the games that are favorable to them, they will never truly grow and will not be able to face more complex and severe challenges.

For my team, I want someone who can play against the wind and win the game! "

When Zhu Zhaojiang heard this, his doubts deepened. He didn't understand why Qing Yun was so determined to pursue the ability to turn the tide.

Isn’t it good to always play in a favorable situation?
Are you also specifically developing the ability to deal with situations that are against your will?

As long as you are strong enough, life will always be smooth sailing.

Now that the company is caught in a headwind situation, shouldn’t the decision-makers reflect on the company’s strategic issues first?

This... He felt that there was something wrong with Xiaoqing's brain!

Qing Yun seemed to see Zhu Zhaojiang's doubts, and he explained with a smile,
"Mr. Zhu, don't mistakenly think that I have paranoid delusions.

In fact, once we have established a foothold in the African market, our next step will inevitably be to enter the traditional markets in the West.

By then, we will face unprecedented challenges and competition.

Do you think this process will be smooth sailing for us?"

Zhu Zhaojiang's face changed slightly when he was shocked by Qing Yun's question. He realized that Qing Yun's ambition was far greater than he had imagined.
"Mr. Xiaoqing, what you mean is..."

Qing Yun shrugged his shoulders lightly, but his tone revealed firmness and determination.

"Mr. Zhu, you should know that Yanhuang Group is making great efforts in the field of semiconductors. Our goal is to build a nationally independent and controllable semiconductor system."

Zhu Zhaojiang nodded to show his understanding. He had also heard about this. After all, this was already a national strategy.

Since entering November, the entire national machinery has been quickly started up, and various scientific research institutes and major related state-owned enterprises have launched breakthroughs.

But in Zhu Zhaojiang's view, this is a make-up lesson to make up for the lessons missed in the past years.

It is not easy to make up for all-round backwardness.

Although he is not optimistic, he appreciates Yanhuang Group's ambitions in the semiconductor field.

Those who work in this industry know very well that, after all, in some areas, it is not necessary to always keep up with the trend of the times.

Even for more than half of the demands, backward mature technology is the best answer.

At this point, Qingyun continued, "Why don't we do this on our phones as well?"

Zhu Zhaojiang was stunned when he heard this.

As a big shot in the mobile phone industry, although his role is sales, he is also very clear that judging from the trend, it is inevitable that smartphones will replace feature phones.

This means that mobile phones in the future will no longer be as crude as in the past, which can be assembled like a radio by buying some parts.

Precision components will become mainstream, and chips will be elevated to an unprecedented level.

but!

The most important thing is the system!

He thought about independent research and development of precision components, but he didn't think about achieving independent control like Qing Yun.

To be autonomous and controllable, you must have your own system.

This difficulty... is too high.

This requires that the compiler, programming framework, programming language, design system, development environment, file system, etc. must all be in your own hands.

In Zhu Zhaojiang's view, this is no longer ambition, but delusion.

Qing Yun looked at Zhu Zhaojiang's thoughtful expression and continued, "How to achieve self-help control is my business, and you..."

He was too lazy to argue.

As the helmsman of the company and a leader in the semiconductor industry, he has no need to argue.

He smiled and said, "Boss Zhu, Africa is just our starting point. It is also our last relatively comfortable zone, where we train our team and accumulate experience.

In the future, what we will face will be a struggle of iron and blood.

I need my team to have the ability to fight against the wind and the ability to survive in desperate situations.

They cannot develop this ability in China.

So, I can only hand them over to you, my Engalarik!

I hope you can lead a league of bad boys like Old En and train them in Africa."

If Nuochi was not still unknown, he would actually like to say that he was from the Nuochi Alliance.

Zhu Zhaojiang felt a heavy weight in Qing Yun's words.

He clearly understood that the blueprint drawn by Qing Yun would not be achieved overnight.

Instead, it requires long-term strategic planning and persistent efforts.

The African market is a brand new field for Yanhuang Group, full of unknowns and challenges.

As a leader with high hopes, Zhu Zhaojiang not only has to lead the team to gain a foothold in a foreign country, but also train them to grow into elites who can survive and win in adversity.

This responsibility is undoubtedly a huge test for him.

He suddenly laughed at himself and broke the silence: "Boss Xiaoqing, you came to see me, you should know me.

You should know that many people say that I have low emotional intelligence and cannot understand what my leaders say. "

Qing Yun also knew that this sentence revealed Zhu Zhaojiang's inner anxiety and self-doubt.

Zhu Zhaolin knew that he had strong technical and management abilities, but he always seemed overwhelmed in the complex interpersonal relationships and political struggles.

Emperor Yun just shrugged his shoulders and responded in a relaxed tone, "Do you think this statement is correct?"

Zhu Zhaojiang said helplessly, "It depends on what you think, Mr. Xiaoqing. My opinion is not important."

Qing Yun laughed out loud upon hearing this, "Your emotional intelligence is not hopeless."

At this point, he stared into Zhu Zhaojiang's eyes and smiled.
"For example, a woman who can get along well with people around her, who can drink, who can treat people well, who can appreciate art, who can do housework, and who can get along well with her mother-in-law, you say such a woman...

How could she be too happy?!

She must have felt very wronged.”

Emperor Yun’s words made Qin Manyan roll her eyes involuntarily.

That makes me feel so wronged!

But she knew very well that this guy was just fooling Zhu Zhaojiang.

How could I not feel wronged if I had to be his first wife?

It’s a matter of trade-offs in itself.

but……

The empress thought that tonight was the time to let this person who was talking nonsense meet Geren Qiguidao in the Shudao Mountains!

The unaware Emperor Yun continued, "After you have achieved perfection in all areas, you will find that you will be very tired.

So you know what kind of people I like? "

He smiled and said, "The kind of people I like are those who excel in one field and are negligible in other fields. They are like the East Evil, West Poison, South Emperor and North Beggar, with distinct personalities and characteristics.

So what I want to tell you is that in Yanhuang Group, we need to rely less on people and more on technology, processes, and core competitiveness. This is actually beneficial to the organization.”

He passed a cigarette over, lit it and took a puff. His voice sounded more steady amid the smoke.

“Remember, you don’t need emotional intelligence when facing me within the Yanhuang Group.

Moreover, you will find that people in good companies do not have high emotional intelligence.

If you don’t believe me, just look around. There are many people who come out of foreign-funded enterprises who are stupid and they don’t have high emotional intelligence.”

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhaojiang could only nod.

Xu Lihua poached many people from Motomula, Nuojiya and Simonzi, but none of them stayed in Bird for long.

Neither of them is used to the other's way of chatting.

The contexts are different.

After shaking off the cigarette ash, Qing Yun said calmly, "In my opinion, emotional intelligence is a stopgap measure when you have no ability, no status, and no power. To put it bluntly, it is selling out your dignity and showing others your humbleness. If you do it a little more, you are just playing the victim.

Do you need to play the victim now?

Everyone says you have low emotional intelligence, but you became the deputy general manager in charge of sales at Bird at the age of 30. What does this prove?
Demonstrate your abilities, no emotional intelligence required.

It's the same in Yanhuang, Zhu Zhaojiang, stand up straight, you are my Engalarlik!"

Zhu Zhaojiang couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.

How could Engalarik bow his head? !
At this time, Qing Yun's mood relaxed again, shrugged his shoulders, and said softly,
"Every profession has its own expertise. If I need emotional value, I will look for professionals, so don't just come and make do with it.

Don't think about anything, just do what I give you, your most important duty is coaching."

With six girlfriends, his emotional value has long been maxed out.

What's more, which of those executives who surrendered is not a shrewd person?

Why would he need Zhu Zhaojiang to flatter him?
but……

"coach?"

Zhu Zhaojiang was puzzled. This was the second time Qingyun mentioned this word in front of him.

Qingyun smiled and nodded, "Yes, coach! Team coach!"

After exhaling a puff of smoke, he looked at Zhu Zhaojiang steadily.
"Let me give you an example. My eldest brother-in-law once asked me this question: How do you evaluate whether a cadre is qualified?"

Zhu Zhaojiang's back straightened involuntarily.

Mr. Xiaoqing's uncle...

The top second-generation rich man in China, Qin Xiangyu.

The helmsman of West China Hillhouse and even Hillhouse Holdings.

Then the two parties in the dialogue are not hypocritical or deceiving each other.

"What kind of situation did he face at that time? Huaxi Houpu has many departments, and each department has a manager position.

Some managers have indeed been working in the company for quite some time, but the results of their departments are not very good.

On the contrary, these managers have this idea: I have worked in the company for such a long time, and even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. The results at the moment are not very good, but the results accumulated over a long period of time are still okay.

The subtext behind this idea is that I deserve a promotion and a raise.

My uncle's question is:

They do stay in the position that long if they don’t get promoted;
But if they are promoted, their abilities are indeed not matched.

What should I do? "

Zhu Zhaojiang also smiled bitterly when he heard this.

This is a common problem among businesses.

Qing Yun spread his hands and said, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there are human relationships and social practices. Where there are human relationships and social practices, there must be a large number of mediocre people."

He took another puff of his cigarette, and happily satisfied his craving for cigarettes while watching the Empress and Sister Xiaoya secretly murdering people. He continued,

“How should we evaluate the ability level of a manager?

Personally, in my opinion, I think managers and coaches are evaluated on the same basis.”

Zhu Zhaojiang really wanted to complain that in private enterprises, the chairman's personal opinion is actually the will of the company...

“Whether a person is a good coach depends on how many outstanding athletes he has trained and what results these athletes have achieved.

For a management cadre, it depends on whether he can continue to cultivate dedicated employees and employees who produce results.

Because only when an enterprise cultivates a large number of dedicated employees can it achieve outstanding performance and become an enterprise with sustainable vitality.

Therefore, it is the responsibility of management cadres to cultivate dedicated employees.

All other indicators are just bullshit.”

Zhu Zhaojiang didn't know whether he should nod or shake his head.

Teaching apprentices to starve themselves is a problem that all managers will always have to face.

However, when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

He's not stupid.

He knew very well that facing Qing Yun's invitation, he had no way out.

Xu Lihua first worked in private enterprises and then in state-owned enterprises. Having followed Xu Lihua for so many years, he knew very well how low the bottom line of private bosses was.

Rejecting Qingyun's invitation to come in person is a complete disrespect to Mr. Xiaoqing and it also isolates oneself from the entire industry.

There are many people who are willing to step on him in order to get close to Xiaoqing.

So, even though he didn't agree with what Qing Yun said in his heart, he could only nod.

But on second thought, he could understand that shareholders and professional managers are inherently in opposition, and it is impossible for their thinking to reach a level of complete resonance.

It all depends on the boss's conscience.

Compared to other people, it is obvious that Yanhuang Xiaoqing still has a conscience.

At this time, Qingyun didn't care about Zhu Zhaojiang's little thoughts, there was no need.

If you always think about your employees, you are a philanthropist, not an entrepreneur.

He continued, "As a cadre, you should have a thought: Have my subordinates grown with me? Have they achieved anything?

If an ordinary employee can grow into an excellent employee or management cadre after following you, then you are a good leader.

If a subordinate has followed you for a long time but has not grown at all, you are a derelict manager and are not suitable for management.

In summary, all excellent managers have one thing in common:
It means that he can continuously cultivate batch after batch of outstanding talents and bring out successors who are better than him.

Therefore, there are three criteria for judging whether a manager is excellent:

Can we continue to cultivate dedicated employees?
Is it possible to cultivate people who are better than the managers themselves?

Can we train successors who are better than managers? "

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Zhaojiang, who was obviously a little uncomfortable with his words.
"Don't worry that I will abandon you when you are no longer useful. Yanhuang Group is big enough, and my ambition is big enough to accommodate you, Zhu Zhaojiang."

Zhu Zhaojiang was silent for a while, then nodded heavily.

This is true.

At least, in an incremental spatial dimension, there is no possibility that this young man will abandon the donkey after it has served its purpose.

As for entering the inventory stage...

It's a matter of singing which song on which mountain.

Make money first. The salary at Yanhuang Group is quite generous anyway.

Emperor Yun didn't expect to convince an adult with just a few words.

What's more, this person is really not an ordinary person.

In that war-torn Africa, how could Zhu Zhaojiang, who could become the king of mobile phones in Africa, be brainwashed by just a few words and a shake of the tiger's body?
As long as I can continue to meet his interests and needs, that's enough.

Again, what he really wanted was for Zhu Zhaojiang to become the Lion King Nuochi who protected, taught, and led his nephews in their growth.

As for the African market...

To be honest, compared to Zhu Zhaojiang in his previous life who started from scratch and conquered Africa in 2006, Qing Yun at this time has a huge advantage.

Although the time was brought forward by more than 20 months, he was better prepared, had more sufficient funds, his R&D was more purposeful, and there would be no detours in marketing.

In this case, although it is not possible to put a pig up there, it is not very difficult either.

What he values ​​is indeed Zhu Zhaojiang's ability to build a team.

Africa is a word.

However, behind this word, there are 56 countries and regions, 96 major ethnic groups, hundreds of ethnic minorities, more than 1200 languages, and more than 3000 tribes divided into hundreds or thousands of forces.

Doing business across Africa is far more complicated than most people imagine.

The reason why TRANSSION can gain a foothold and become the leader in Africa is that behind its targeted products and flexible sales policies is its brave and capable sales team.

The word "brave and good at fighting" is not at all exaggerated or metaphorical.

In a place where wars are frequent, if you don't have the attribute of being brave and good at fighting, it's not doing business, but doing charity.

When the team trained in such a place returns to China, the banditry and wolfish nature they exhibit are not something that flowers in a greenhouse can resist.

The reason why Chuan Yin in its previous life did not return to China was because it had been based abroad from the beginning. Returning to China would be like foreign investment, but its attributes did not enjoy the same treatment as foreign investment, and it did not have the local "social customs", so it had no advantage in competing when it returned.

However, another example is Mr. Ren’s Hua Wei.

Huawei's African Legion has always been the cradle of talent pool, continuously cultivating and supplying talents to the country.

Completely different from what the outside world thinks, the overseas legion that Hua Wei’s young people are most willing to join is the African Legion.

In the words of Mr. Ren, "young people can quickly become 'generals' in Africa."

Of course, the most basic reason is the high "permanent hardship allowance".

The amount varies depending on the country and region where the employee is located, and is generally between RMB 5000 and RMB 30000 per month.

Permanent hardship allowance is an important pillar of Huawei’s overseas talent strategy, and its issuance is fair, reasonable and incentive-based.

Fairness means that Huawei will not discriminate against employees based on their identity and status, but will provide subsidies based on objective standards. No matter whether you are a president or a soldier, as long as you work overseas, you can get this money every month.

Reasonable means that Huawei will not provide excessive or insufficient subsidies, but will determine the level of subsidies based on the actual conditions of the country and region where the employees are located.

Motivation means that Huawei will not let employees feel that subsidies are a burden or a gift, but will make employees feel that subsidies are a reward and recognition, and a respect and encouragement for their work and contributions.

This is the prerequisite for employees to accept overseas assignments.

It would be rogue to talk about overseas assignment without considering this point.

Of course, the high subsidy is also a bit of a headache. Mr. Ren said that what is a bit depressing now is that because of this subsidy, many people are unwilling to come back.

So in Emperor Yun’s opinion, there is actually room for improvement in this regard.

Qing Yun put out the cigarette and said, "So, in Africa, you are not only an executor, but also a coach.

You have to lead the team, train them, and let them grow through challenges.

What I want is not only your personal performance, but also the capacity improvement of the team you lead.

To be more precise, I want you to train my team."

Zhu Zhaojiang pondered for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "I understand, Mr. Xiaoqing.

Don't worry, I will do my best to lead the team to gain a firm foothold in the African market, and I will also train them to become independent fighters."

Hearing this, Emperor Yun felt relieved.

His 'Bad Boys Alliance' or 'Nochi Alliance' has a leader.

As for whether it is the 'Bad Boys Alliance' or the 'Nochi Alliance'...

Emperor Yun thinks both are fine.

If it doesn't work, split into two groups.

But which two or several unlucky guys should be arranged to go and test the waters first?

Snorlax?
Emperor Yun shook his head.

That's his brother!

It’s probably Kong Ziqian, Cheng Bing, Guo Ke and others.

Anyway, everyone is so bored at school that they don't attend classes properly.
