National Tide 1980

Be brave and be yourself, and do whatever you do with reason!

This sentence is not always correct, because it requires real talent and practical ability to support it.

This may be true for those who have the ability, but not for those who lack it.

Of course, things in the world are often not so clear-cut. The reason for the complexity is that people always compare with each other.

Some people's abilities are actually quite good, and they are considered to have little talent, but if they meet a true genius, they will be blind in comparison.

Throughout the dynasties, I don’t know how many people who have compared themselves to "swans" have lamented, "How can you be bright when you are good?"

For example, at two o'clock in the afternoon on May 4, 1982, in the Chase Office of Pierre Carton Company in the Capital Hotel.

Zou Guodong, who had just come back from outside and was sitting on his leather seat, was troubled by this emotion.

Especially after he took a few newspapers from the logistics department manager Sha.

Before he could read it for a while, he threw a pile of newspapers on his desk with a "bang" sound and angrily.

Since they all work in a large room, even the head of the operations department only has a cubicle surrounded by a glass wall near the window.

This fall made a lot of noise, and almost all of Zou Guodong's subordinates heard it.

Everyone looked up suspiciously for a while, and then they all leaned over the desk with their heads drooped.

No one is stupid, and everyone is afraid of getting into trouble and becoming the target of subsequent consequences.

As for why Zou Guodong is so angry?

The reason is simple, because the reports in these newspapers are all related to Ning Weimin, his deputy who has never actually accepted his leadership.

Like the one at the top, it's the article in the "Beijing Evening News" that hyped the Jianguomen "PC" clothing store.

The big photo attached above is of Ning Weimin in a neat suit and his five beautiful subordinates.

In fact, Zou Guodong had already read these newspapers.

What he couldn't stand the most was Ning Weimin's triumphant look in the photo.

No matter how many times I see it, it always makes me angry and frustrated.

He never expected that his colleagues would bring him these disgusting things just after running back from the airport after being tired all morning.

As soon as he didn't hug Huo'er, he became rough.

For this reason, Manager Sha, who was still full of indignation, quickly changed his face and started to comfort him with a smile on his face.

"Manager Zou, don't be angry. I have no other intention, I just want to fight for you."

"You said this kid is too naughty! I think he was probably thinking about this when he asked you to go to the airport. How dare he plot against you! Why?"

"Why is he enjoying so much glory in the Jianguo Hotel's specialty store and waiting for customers all over the capital to go to him? In turn, he has to make you go to the airport every day?"

"No, I can't stand it. He is deliberately plotting against you, and he doesn't look at you as a leader..."

But having said that, Zou Guodong was so angry that he did have some thoughts about Ning Weimin.

But he is not a fool to sit in this position. He knows with his butt that this kind of kindness that comes to his door is not that simple.

Foreign-funded companies have high incomes, but because of this they have become the most snobbish and scheming places among their colleagues.

So even though he was angry and unhappy, he did not give in to Manager Sha's instigation.

Instead, he picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, sat down slowly, and caught his breath.

"Old Sha, it's a bit unkind of you to fan the flames. People don't tell secrets, but you showed this thing to me and said these words. Are you thinking about using me as a gunman?"

Seeing this situation, Manager Sha knew that he couldn't hide his little thoughts, so he had no choice but to sit down and whisper with him.

"Manager Zou, don't get me wrong. Yes, I won't hide it from you, I have a little conflict with this guy. But I also have good intentions towards you."

"Not to mention anything else, we both joined the company at the same time. You said that we usually work, and we don't try our best to help each other? Can I do something bad to you? I'm afraid that you can't see through this guy's ambition. North Korea is negligent.”

"He obviously wants to get past you. You must not let him continue to act like this, it will be very detrimental to you. You must let him know how powerful you are, and let him respect you as the leader..."

This sounds pleasant to the ear, and Manager Zou certainly wants this.

But what's the use of just thinking about it? He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"What nonsense? Every step is an open and honest conspiracy. What can I do? You have to admit that this kid still has some real abilities, and he has a quick mind."

"Forget it. Now that the matter has come to this, it's better to be down-to-earth than sales performance. In fact, there are a lot of customers at the airport every day. I don't believe that I will run worse than him. After all, real money still has to be used to determine the outcome. of."

"Do you still want me to switch with him again? Even if he is willing, as his official leader, I can't afford to lose this person. On the contrary, I will give him the excuse. If he really loses to me, he will have an excuse. "

But Manager Sha refused to give up.

"Ouch, conspiracy? Not sure! My Manager Zou. You can't be so honest, you will suffer a big loss."

"Are you afraid you still don't know what this kid is doing behind your back? Let me tell you, the Jianguo Hotel's specialty store doesn't just sell clothes like you."

"Didn't you read what's written in the newspaper? His store is a specialty store like an art museum. This guy got some art from somewhere and sells it in the store. His two incomes added together are worth your income from clothing. Do you think it’s fair?”

After hearing this, Zou Guodong lost his calmness again. He couldn't help being surprised.

"Art? Are you kidding? Besides, he's not doing his job properly. How much can those things sell for?"

Manager Sha smiled and revealed more detailed information.

"Don't say that. I went to see it with my own eyes after get off work yesterday. Not only was the price not cheap, but it was also sold very quickly. Foreigners like it very much. Two or three pieces can sell hundreds of foreign exchange coupons. And I heard Old Liu, who is in charge of cost control in the Finance Department, say that just by relying on this one hand, last month, that guy actually made a profit of 18,000 yuan from the Zhai Palace area that was losing money. Do you want fair competition? This is not the case Is that what you think?"

Zou Guodong remained silent and stopped talking.

To be honest, he now really feels that Ning Weimin is a genius in business.

But at the same time, he also knew better that Ning Weimin was definitely a threat to his status.

It was difficult for him not to feel a sense of crisis, and he didn't want to lose his position just like that.

Even if we take a step back, even if Song Huagui cares about his feelings, he will not promote Ning Weimin or demote him.

But Ning Weimin's existence and such work performance are a practical insult to him and will make him a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

There is no one who works in logistics who does not have human sperm.

Manager Sha's best skill is observing words and emotions.

He could already tell something from Zou Guodong's expression.

He quickly looked around, then carefully came over, leaned into Zou Guodong's ear, and told him his plan.

"I work in logistics, and I know this material thing better than anyone else. Based on my feeling, the art consignment thing shouldn't be that simple. I think there is a high probability that this kid is playing in it. What’s so tricky.”

"What's the 20% commission? Think about it, this guy has the final say on how much he sells and how little he sells. He also controls the source of goods. I really don't believe that he is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror. God knows what he is doing from the inside. How much benefit have you gained? Anyway, if this matter is what I think, it is not a small problem, and I have to give Mr. Song a heads up."

"As for you, don't be idle. You have to catch up with the other trend. After all, Mr. Song is the real boss of our company. Right? Such an important leader attended the opening ceremony of Jianguo Hotel , it is only proper etiquette that our President Song should attend and accompany us. Isn’t it?”

"However, Ning Weimin deliberately concealed such a big matter. Not only did he not inform the company about the situation, he even said that Jianguo store would not hold an opening ceremony to save costs, so he just ignored the company. As a result, he made the mistake on his own. Limelight. What does this mean? He doesn’t even take Mr. Song seriously anymore. Is this even true?"

"I'm not telling you that. Ning Weimin is just stupid. Hehe, he has no choice but to do things, and it's all in vain! He forgot that he is where he is today, all because of President Song's promotion and trust. . Without the support of Mr. Song, he is nothing. But now, if he makes some achievements, he will not take the boss seriously. Hehe, do you think he is committing suicide? "

Manager Sha became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and the two small eyes embedded in his fat face were gleaming.

Zou Guodong's face gradually turned rosy as he listened.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his colleague's idea really made sense.
