Chapter 13 4. Obai: Be a smart and kind person

After hearing Mr. Kang's story about Zhu Bajie, Wei Xiaobao nodded again and again, then lowered his voice, and said Chairman Kangxi's biggest worry at present: "Mr. Kang, do you know that this guy, Oboi, still wants to write a book? This book will definitely involve many commercial secrets of our Daqing Industry, does Mr. Kang have any good solutions for this matter?" "A way?" Prince Kang's eyelids twitched, "Is there any good way? If it doesn't work, I can only go and have a good talk with Aobai to see if I can buy the copyright of this memoir."

"Huh?" Wei Xiaobao looked at Prince Kang, "Will Aobai agree?" Prince Kang shook his head again and again: "It's hard to say, it's too hard to say. You know that there is an unregistered private company called Tiandi Product Marketing Association, which has been eyeing Ao Bai's book and wants to spend a lot of money to buy it out. Agent copyright inside and outside. Now Oboi is a rare commodity to live in, so if you want to get the book, you have to let the Tiandihui stop." "Then how can Tian Di Hui stop?" Wei Xiaobao asked again. "This..." Mr. Kang hesitated, "This...I have to ask my wife first."

Wei Xiaobao was amazed: "Why do you ask your wife?" "Because," President Kang replied embarrassedly, "Because Tiandihui claims that its business model is store plus direct sales, but in fact... I mean, well, I think you should stop seeing my wife. She is listening to Tiandihui now. I've been fascinated by the lectures, and when I see people, I sell products to get them to join the club, for fear that you will be laughed at." Wei Xiaobao wanted to ask again, but Prince Kang had already stood up: "Manager Wei, I think you should get in touch with Ao Bai first to see if there is room for discussion. Repent, don't write his broken book that may affect our company's reputation, don't you think?"

Wei Xiaobao thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, we can only talk about it first." So he got up and asked Prince Kang to send him to the place where Ao Bai lived.When he entered, he saw Oboi throwing a stack of waste paper into the wastebasket, circling around the room with his hands behind his back, seeing Wei Xiaobao, Oboi immediately roared: "You little brat, what are you doing here? Do you still want to fight? Believe it or not, I punched you flat." Wei Xiaobao hurriedly took a step back, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ao, it was Director Kang who asked me to come and see you. I heard that you are writing a memoir, which involves a lot of company secrets. Director Kang hopes that you can read more before doing this. Think about it carefully, why bother! Everyone is a businessman in the business field, and they pay attention to making money with harmony, and they are carried by people in bridal sedan chairs. what are the benefits?"

"Get out!" Ao Bai glared at Wei Xiaobao, "The workplace is ruined by you blandishing liars. You just hope that others are ignorant of the unspoken rules of the workplace, and deceive those who don't know the rules with gorgeous rhetoric and passionate slogans. Sophisticated young people, fooling employees, making them all deaf and blind who don't know anything about unspoken rules, while you yourself vigorously follow unspoken rules and profit from them. Hmph, little bastard, I tell you, I just want to expose Open the unspoken rules of the workplace shrouded in sanctimonious slogans, restore the innocence of the workplace, and restore the real image of the workplace people. Only in this way can the workplace truly become pure. Only when the unspoken rules are exposed in broad daylight, the workplace It’s really going to be standardized.”

Wei Xiaobao scratched his ears in embarrassment: "Oboi, what's the use of saying this? Even if you disclosed the unspoken rules of the workplace, those working people who benefited may not thank you, don't you know? I hate the crow employees who report bad news the most, because all of us are helpless in the face of unspoken rules, so we have to spread our grievances on those who disclosed unspoken rules, and dare not fight against unspoken rules.” Ao Bai sneered: "Little bastard, I have been a CEO for so many years, don't I understand better than you? Let me tell you, the reason why unspoken rules are scary is because they are invisible and invisible; When it is exposed to the sun and everyone knows its existence and conducts a rational analysis of its effectiveness, it will either lose its effectiveness, or it will be transformed into an explicit rule. Wei Xiaobao, you little rascal don’t understand Telling you about these things is all wasted effort, get out of here, and I will continue to write."

Wei Xiaobao rubbed his nose: "Oboi, I have no problem with you disclosing the unspoken rules. Anyway, under the offensive of our gorgeous rhetoric and passionate slogans, the minds of people in the workplace have formed a fixed mindset over time. No matter what you say, no one is willing to believe you. At most, they will regard you as a black school. Not only will they not appreciate you, they will even criticize you. Maybe they will regard you as a Insidious villain, otherwise, how could you write such a book?" "Buddha said, I will not be criticized, who will be criticized?" Obai said awe-inspiringly, "One day, Taylor, the originator of American management, put forward the famous X theory based on the research and observation of human nature. It is negative, lazy, passive, and not seeking to make progress. Isn’t this theory also besieged by those who believe in it? Business managers who really believe in Theory X will never admit this theory. The same Truly, the managers who really follow the unspoken rules are often the ones who hate the disclosure of unspoken rules the most. The beneficiaries of those unspoken rules will never admit the existence of unspoken rules. However, it is precisely because of Taylor's X theory , and created a modern scientific management system based on this framework. It is still the same reason, only by revealing the hidden rules to the greatest extent, can the corporate environment be purified and the competition among employees tend to be standardized , the development of enterprises will truly become possible.”

Wei Xiaobao scratched his scalp: "Oboi, you have said so much in one breath, but I still haven't understood what you want to do?" "What I want to do is very simple," Ao Bai sneered slightly, "I want to guide people in the workplace through this "Stories I Have to Tell with Empress Xiaozhuang", so that they can become more wise and be kind and smart. people, not an ignorant person who can't think of ignorance as simple and honest." "It makes sense, it makes sense, let employees be smart and kind people, it is true. There has always been such a thinking in the workplace that ignorant people are the most loyal, and smart people are the most cunning. The actual situation is that loyalty is a A person's morality, and wisdom is a person's ability, there is no absolute relationship between the two." Wei Xiaobao nodded desperately, "But Oboi... If you reveal the unspoken rules, then you can expose the unspoken rules. Why did you choose the title of the book as "The Stories I Have to Tell Empress Xiaozhuang"?"

"Look, look," Aobai put down the pen in his hand, pointed back at Wei Xiaobao, and sneered, "How dare you talk about unspoken rules at your level? Don't you know the unspoken rules of the publishing industry? Current readers Very impetuous, the more evocative the title of the book, the more gaudy and far-fetched, the more people love to read it, and the easier it becomes popular. If you name the book "Unspoken Rules in the Workplace" or "Be a Good and Wise People, who would read it? Do you want to pay the publisher to death?” Having said this, Oboi burst out laughing, “That’s why I specially named my biography like this, you can just watch it when the time comes.” , the sales in the market are guaranteed to be hot."

Wei Xiaobao begged angrily: "Oboi, let's discuss it and change the title of the book." "What should I change it to?" Obai seriously discussed with Wei Xiaobao, "How about "Affair in Xiaozhuang"?"
