Chapter 8 chapter eight

Hong Jun watched Jason sit down, thinking that it was finally time to start, but Jason got up again and handed over his business card with both hands.Hong Jun took it with both hands, and didn't even want to read it, because there was nothing on the business card that he didn't know, but out of politeness, he read it carefully.The front and back of the business card are printed in Chinese and English respectively. The Chinese name is Lin Jiesen, and the English name is Jason Lin. When Hong Jun heard Jason's name for the first time, he thought, the pronunciation of this person's Chinese and English names is so perfect. , It is impossible to guess whether he has a Chinese name or an English name first.The English name of the company is "VCL", an abbreviation of three letters, so the Chinese name "Visil" based on the English pronunciation is quite appropriate, but every time Hong Jun hears this name, he always feels more like a lingerie company. The brand, let his imagination run wild and his heart flutter.

Hong Jun pondered for several days why Jason asked himself to go to Singapore to attend the Asia-Pacific conference for him, and seemed to guess something, but felt that it seemed a little unreasonable, so he shook his head in the end.Jason seems to be playing out of common sense, like a non-directional missile, making it difficult to figure out, let alone predict what his next trajectory will be. According to Jason himself to Hong Jun, the reason why he didn't want to go was because he didn't want to waste time listening to those foreigners pointing fingers, he said they were "noisy".And the reason he gave to the Asia-Pacific region was that his wife suddenly fell ill, probably because he was not acclimatized in Shanghai, so Jason couldn't fly to Singapore for a two-day meeting at this time.Hong Jun thought it was funny. It was the first time he heard that Taiwanese people would not accept the water and soil in Shanghai. At least Taiwanese men are very "acceptable" to Shanghai's water and soil and the women raised by Shanghai's water and soil. Maybe just like this, Taiwanese women may also Are you not "convinced" by Shanghai?who knows.

As for why Jason chose Hong Jun to replace him, Jason himself said that he hoped Hong Jun would use this opportunity to familiarize himself with the environment.Hong Jun felt it was even more ridiculous. He had just joined the company, and he was not even familiar with the small environment of Vizier Beijing. Why did he go to familiarize himself with the Vizier Asia-Pacific region?A trip to Singapore as a reward for joining Vizier?probably not.Hong Jun is not someone who has never been abroad, he has traveled to too many places in the world. When Jason said "Vizier Asia Pacific bastards" in Starbucks last time, Hong Jun already knew that the relationship between Jason and Vizier Asia Pacific was not good. At that time, he just thought it was Jason's heart. To vent his emotions, I didn't expect him to refuse to go to the meeting so bluntly. It was a demonstration and challenge to the Asia-Pacific region.Hong Jun always felt that doing so was too emotional, and it was difficult for him to understand how Jason would openly disclose his conflicts with the Asia-Pacific region.

In addition, Hong Jun speculated that Jason had two purposes for letting him go.One is to further show his goodwill to himself, showing that Jason has no suspicions about Hong Jun, completely trusts him, and has no scruples. Maybe he also regrets what he accidentally revealed in Starbucks last time, mentioning that he was worried that Visil would take Hong Jun Dig over to replace him, so I want to dispel Hong Jun's doubts.Indeed, Jason must have stopped worrying. Hong Jun is now just a small manager under him.Another hidden reason is because Hong Jun is new here and doesn't know much about Visil's situation, so Jason doesn't have to worry about him complaining to the Asia-Pacific region.

In any case, Hong Jun didn't like running this errand, he hadn't had time to figure out the mess in Visil's Beijing yet.In the morning, he was choked by the Mary at the front desk again, which made him very angry. As soon as he went to work in the morning, Hong Jun walked to the front desk and said to Mary: "Mary, can you do me a favor? Here are the documents for applying for a Singapore visa. I have finished them all. Please help me go to the Kerry Center and deliver the visa place will do.” Unexpectedly, Mary frowned and said with embarrassment: "Oh, but I can't leave now, Laura has arranged a lot of things for me, and I am too busy. How about you give Shanghai Make a phone call and talk to Laura, if she doesn't speak, I dare not go out."

Hong Jun became popular as soon as she heard it. A young girl, but she also knows how to use the matrix structure of foreign companies to make small moves.Many positions in foreign companies have two heads. Mary is in Beijing, and Hong Jun is her boss, which is regarded as territorial management; Mary is the receptionist at the front desk, who is in administration, and Laura, the financial manager in Shanghai, is also her boss. business management.Those with a lower level will use this double management to be lazy. When Hong Jun asked her to do something, she shied away from being busy with Laura's business. Hong Jun knew that when Laura asked Mary to do something, she would shirk being busy with Hong Jun's business Woolen cloth.Those with a higher level will walk a tightrope under this kind of dual management, trying to make both bosses work hard to develop themselves into confidantes, so that they can benefit from both sides.Hong Jun believes that this Mary is only a low-level play, and what Hong Jun hates is the kind of tightrope walker.

Hong Jun suppressed his anger, frowned, and looked unhappy, and said to Mary: "Then I will go by myself, you are busy with your work. If Jason calls me, you tell him that I have gone to apply for a visa. Laura also Really, I've assigned you so much work, I don't want to see if you can't finish it, I want to exhaust you to death. I have to talk to Jason, I should hire another secretary, so many things can't be done by one person Come on, unless you find someone with stronger abilities." Listening to Hong Jun's words, Mary's face was like a kaleidoscope, changing several times.Just after hearing Hong Jun's first sentence, she felt relaxed and proud for a while, thinking that she would push out another errand; after hearing Hong Jun's next words, she blushed a little, and Hong Jun felt sorry for her so much that she felt embarrassed; unexpectedly, Hong Jun Turning the topic around, he uttered the last sentence, which stunned her, and her complexion became pale with green and green with white.She was stunned for a long time, and just came back to her senses, and wanted to stop Hong Jun to say something, but Hong Jun had already ignored her, went straight out, and took the elevator downstairs.

In the north building of the Kerry Center office building, there is a headhunting company. In a conference room inside, three people in suits and leather shoes are sitting around a round table.One of them, with smooth hair, was the host among the three, but he was the one who talked the least among the three.His left hand is a foreigner in his forties, polite, modest and rigorous; his right hand is a Chinese, who should be under forty years old, with a dark complexion, and looks older than his actual age.This man with sleek hair is the partner of this headhunting company, and he brought together two people from two directly competing companies. The foreigner next to him is an Englishman, from ICE. Pete Branson, the Chinese next to him, is Yu Wei from Coman.

This is not the first time they have met. In fact, their meeting this time is to reach a final agreement. It seems that everything is going well and it is already finishing. "Slippery Water Slippery" helped the two people sort out the signed documents, and everyone was smiling and satisfied.Pete suddenly remembered something, and said to Yu Wei: "I want to confirm again, are you sure you can directly join ICE Company immediately after leaving Coman Company?" Yu Wei immediately said something in English: "No problem." He seemed to feel that he should add something more detailed, but for a while he seemed unable to blurt it out in English and held back.

"Slick and Slick" immediately said to Pete in English: "I asked this question when I talked with Mr. Yu for the first time. Man Company cannot restrict which company Mr. Yu goes to." Yu Wei understood it completely and nodded, indicating that this was what he originally wanted to express. Pete was very satisfied, but he still jokingly said, "But ICE is not Koman. We require all employees to sign a non-compete clause, especially the chief representative. Mr. Yu, you will have no problem, right?" Yu Wei smiled and said in English: "No problem, no problem." All three of them laughed.

Pete added: "There is only such a short time between today and the day we have set for you to come to work at ICE. Are you sure you and Coman can complete the handover?" Yu Wei smiled, nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, I guarantee that Coman will let me go soon." After speaking, he was a little worried whether Pete might misunderstand that Coman was eager for him to leave as soon as possible. Well, he glanced at Pete, and Pete just nodded slightly, not expressing anything else. "Slippery" opened the door, went out to bind the documents, Pete chatted with Yu Wei and asked, "I heard that you know Jim Hong very well and have always been friends?" Yu Wei replied: "We used to be friends, but we didn't keep in touch with each other very much after that." Pete asked Yu Wei again: "Do you know what happened after he left ICE?" Yu Wei then said: "I don't know, I don't care about his affairs, he and I are no longer friends." Pete murmured, as if saying to himself, "I hope he and I can still be friends." Pete immediately noticed that Yu Wei's face seemed to be turning red and purple, and was about to explain something or change the topic when "Slick and Slick" happened to push in the door and had already finished the two documents, very professional look.Pete and Yu Wei both stood up and put away the documents respectively. The three of them clasped their hands together and celebrated. Pete said to Yu Wei: "Welcome to ICE, I hope you can sign more contracts like Hezhi Group for ICE." Yu Wei's face was very unnatural again, and he said, "I will do my best." "Smooth and watery" said: "For sure." All three laughed. Just as he was about to leave the conference room, Yu Wei suddenly said, "Mr. Branson, it's still the same as before. I'll go first, and you'll leave in five minutes, okay?" "Slick and watery" said with a smile: "Mr. Yu is cautious, everything has been settled, so be careful." Pete smiled and agreed to Yu Wei's suggestion, shook hands with Yu Wei again, and was escorted into an office by "Slippery". Yu Wei walked out of the headhunting company and walked towards the elevator. He didn't expect that Hong Jun's taxi stopped at the door of the Kerry Center office building at this moment. Hong Jun paid the taxi fare, walked into the lobby of the office building, and walked to the left to the elevator in the north building. He didn't expect that Yu Wei was taking the elevator down. When Hong Jun was about ten meters away from the elevator room, an elevator went down to the lobby from above, the door opened, and Yu Wei walked out with several people.Yu Wei and Hong Jun saw each other almost at the same time, and their footsteps stopped at the same time, but only for a moment, almost at the same time, both of them walked over.The two came closer and stopped facing each other, with no expression on their faces, but they greeted each other, and the first words they said were "Long time no see". Hong Jun asked, "Are you here for business?" Yu Wei said: "Ah, there is something wrong, how about you? How are you doing?" Hong Jun said: "I am now at Visier Company, and I am here to apply for a visa in Singapore." Yu Wei was stunned for a moment: "Oh, you went to Vizier? Oh, I should have thought of it. There are only a few companies, where else can I go? To Singapore for a meeting?" "No, I'm going to attend a training session. I just joined the new company." Hong Jun didn't want to tell him that he was going to the Asia-Pacific region for a meeting, which was an internal matter of the company. Yu Wei smiled: "Uh, you still use it for training? Do you want to train others? Why do you still use yourself to apply for the visa? Why don't you just ask the secretary to come?" With a smile on his face, Hong Jun listened to Yu Wei's ridicule calmly, and when he finished speaking, he said, "Then let's do this first? We're all busy. Bye." After speaking, he walked towards the elevator.Yu Wei also said bye, and walked towards the door. Hong Jun stood in the elevator room for a while, but didn't get on the elevator. He turned around and saw Yu Wei going out of the gate, then turned around and walked back to the water sign on the wall of the lobby with the names of the companies in the building, and browsed through the north building. What companies are there, and I want to find clues from them to see what Yu Wei is here for.Hong Jun also couldn't tell why he did this, was it because Yu Wei was a competitor, or just because he was Yu Wei? Hong Jun was looking up at the row after row of company names when he suddenly felt a familiar figure flash past from the corner of his eyes. Hong Jun turned his head subconsciously and saw a foreigner carrying a computer bag. , walked towards the entrance of the building, even if it was only from the back, Hong Jun had already recognized it, it was Pete!Moreover, Hong Jun can be sure that Pete also came down from the north building from the route he took through the lobby. Hong Jun raised his head again, and searched more carefully among the company names.Soon, his eyes stopped and stopped on the name of the headhunting company he was familiar with.Yu Wei, Pete, the headhunter, and Hong Jun had already connected everything in his mind and figured out the whole ins and outs. He didn't believe in coincidences, he believed in his reasoning and judgment: Yu Wei is going to ICE, so he should It is to succeed Hong Jun as the chief representative, but it should not be an agent, but an official one. In Hong Jun's mind, there seemed to be such a picture: there were two lonely hills on a plain, and he had just rolled down from the top of the higher hill, and he staggered up before patting the dust off his body. As soon as he got up to the lower hillside, he stood up straight and saw Yu Wei riding his horse up to the high slope he once occupied, waving the spear in his hand at him.Hong Jun knew that there was going to be another fierce battle, but he seemed to have nothing in his hands.Thinking of this, he suddenly had a very complicated feeling, and various feelings came to his heart.Hong Jun smiled, shook his head, turned and walked towards the elevator. Yu Wei was sitting on the back seat of the taxi, with his computer bag beside him. Yu Wei couldn't help but took out the agreement he signed just now from the bag, spread it on his lap, and looked at the few simple numbers on the document, The more he watched it, the happier he was, and the more he liked it, the more proud he was of his ability to bargain.He knew that ICE's salary was better than Coman's, and he jumped from Coman's sales director to ICE's chief representative in China. It is profitable again, making a lot of money. While enjoying watching, Yu Wei took out his mobile phone and was about to dial a number when the mobile phone rang first, which startled him and made him a little annoyed.Yu Wei glanced at the caller ID and knew that it was Zhao Pingfan from Hezhi Group who was calling again. He thought that this Zhao Pingfan should change his name to "Zhao Ren An Annoying", so he pressed the answer button and said, "Hi ,Hello." Before he could say "good", Zhao Pingfan said impatiently: "Old Yu? It's so hard to find you. I haven't answered your call just now. Where are you?" Yu Wei thought to himself, I was discussing important matters with Pete just now, how could it be possible to answer the phone, besides, it doesn't matter where I am.But he still said politely: "I was in a meeting just now, so I turned my phone to silent, and I'm on my way now." Zhao Pingfan hurriedly said: "On the way? Then you should come over now, I am in a hurry to talk to you about this matter." Yu Wei smiled secretly, I'm on the way, not on the way to Hezhi, and what you want to talk about is exactly what I want to hide from.Yu Wei seemed to be very helpless and said: "Oh, I can't make it now. I'm in a hurry to go to another meeting. It's already been booked, so I definitely can't go to your place now." Zhao Pingfan is not only "annoying people", he is also annoying himself, and said angrily: "Forget it, let's talk about it on the phone. There is something wrong with your software, but you installed it. But it's very unstable, and it has to be restarted several times a day for the past week, how can this work? It won't work at all in the future." Yu Wei seemed to find it inconceivable and said, "No way? Didn't you install a simulated environment for testing?" Zhao Pingfan was about to scold: "The bad thing is that it was only a simulated environment. Who knows how you simulated it for me? Installing the whole set of software in our real environment has become a virtue now." Yu Wei was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Didn't our engineer go to see it? I heard that it was reinstalled again, isn't it okay?" "No, no, it doesn't work at all. I asked your engineer, and he said that he had never installed your software on a Windows server, but installed it on a UNIX machine. He installed it according to your internal operation guide. It was installed, but he doesn’t know what to do if something goes wrong.” Zhao Pingfan suppressed his anger and said. Yu Wei continued to fool: "The version is different, he may not have much experience, how about this, I will tell your situation to the Asia-Pacific region and the headquarters, and try to get them to send an experienced person over." Zhao Pingfan became anxious when he heard this: "Then when will we wait?! Mr. Chen is so angry that even Chairman Xu knows about it. He asked Mr. Chen several times, and Mr. Chen asked you to solve it immediately!" At this time, Yu Wei became more interested. He seemed like a cat teasing a mouse, and said with a smile: "Old Zhao, this technical matter has to be scientific. Don't be in a hurry. Just listen to orders and act recklessly. If you can't get out, you still have to get out." Don't come." Zhao Pingfan was completely enraged by Yu Wei, and he really wanted to curse, and shouted loudly: "Old Yu, you told me that your software would be fine if you installed it on our servers. Did you talk about science when you talked about it? Or are you talking nonsense?" Yu Wei was not in a hurry, nor did he get angry, but came up with an idea calmly: "Old Zhao, it is true that many of Coman's software in the world are installed on Windows machines like yours, but our Beijing The engineer may not have much contact with it, and I said to invite outside experts, but you think it is too late, so is it too late to change the UNIX server now?" Zhao Pingfan's voice seemed to be full of tears: "Old Yu, I can wait for you to invite someone from abroad this time, but what about in the future? Who would have thought that people here would not be able to support you? I can't be worried until you Cultivate people. If you want to change machines, those budgets have been moved to go abroad. Although they haven’t gone yet, what should have been spent has been spent, and the rest is reserved for good use. The arrangement is not good. There is enough time to buy a new machine, but there is no budget, and it will be too late to apply for a budget, and this matter will become a bigger issue.” Yu Wei said in a earnest tone: "Old Zhao, that's what I suggest. When you go abroad, don't be too extravagant. Just arrange a few bosses better. The guys below are already content with going to the United States. If the conditions are worse, you can bear it, and you can save some money. Buy a few UNIX servers. Don’t buy too good ones. Get up, wait until you really need to use it in the future, and then apply for a budget to replace it with a bigger machine.” After finishing speaking, Yu Wei was moved by himself. He is already going to ICE now, so why do he care about Coman's clients? Zhao Pingfan didn't even think about it, so he opened his mouth, and his tone was tough again: "No, most of the things to go abroad have already been arranged, so it's not easy to change, and you can't get money from other places. In my opinion, just You have to figure out a way from your software money." Yu Wei then asked: "How much did you call us? 30%?" "Well, we've already paid you 30%." Yu Wei was too lazy to play with Zhao Pingfan anymore, he thought it was time for a showdown, so he said: "Old Zhao, I have tried my best so far, and it is none of my business if you pay less or even don't pay. Mr. Chen signed a contract with Tony in Hong Kong, please ask Mr. Chen to contact Tony directly, I have a meeting here, let's contact again." After finishing speaking, Yu Wei hung up the phone. He felt that there was no need to talk to Zhao Pingfan anymore. Zhao Pingfan must have been confused by his last few words.Yu Wei didn't bother to talk to him anymore, anyway, he would know about Yu Wei's job-hopping in a few days, and then he would naturally understand.However, the phone call just now made Yu Wei feel very proud. How could he arrange everything so well?Just when something happened to Hezhi's project, Yu Wei already had a better place to go. Others used eight sedan chairs to invite him, so he could just leave this mess behind and go find another job. Hey, who was the person you were calling on the phone just now, but Zhao Pingfan disturbed you?Oh, I remembered, I was going to call Tony that guy.Yu Weixin thought that Tony would have a good life now. It is not a trivial matter for a client as big as Hezhi to change the contract and pay less. It is estimated that the lawsuit will take a long time.I am afraid that Hezhi will not be able to squeeze out the money to buy a new UNIX machine for a while. Unless Coman is determined to pay the cost himself and send a foreign expert to Beijing to provide technical support for Hezhi, otherwise this project will seem It will be put on hold in the dispute, but based on Yu Wei's understanding of Tony, this Hong Kong native cannot do such a bold thing, so the destination of the Hezhi project is obvious. While thinking about it, Yu Wei dialed Tony's number, put the phone to his ear and waited, with the corners of his mouth upturned, he couldn't help smiling smugly. When the phone was connected, he heard Tony's voice, and said, "Hi, Tony, I'm Yu Wei, I have something to tell you." Tony replied reluctantly on the phone: "Yu Wei, I happen to have something important here, can you call me in fifteen minutes?" Yu Wei didn't want to pay attention at all, and said directly: "I just have one word, but it's very important, and I'll be fine after I finish." Tony seemed to ponder for a moment, obviously very unhappy, but he still said, "Then you talk about it." Yu Wei yelled loudly into the microphone, as if he wanted to vent out the anger and resentment that had accumulated in his chest for a long time: "I have decided to resign. I will send you an email right away. It's official. I will use the phone to talk to you first. You say it, let you have a mental preparation." Yu Wei made this call because he wanted to hear Tony's reaction on the phone. He really hoped that he could resign to Tony in person, so that he could see Tony's astonishment and panic with his own eyes. Unfortunately, he can only hear it with his own ears now. This is enough to make Yu Wei feel great pleasure. Tony was indeed stunned. It took him a long time to react, and he stammered, "Why all of a sudden? Didn't you say hello in advance? It's not good, I want to talk to you, talk to you." Yu Wei felt comfortable, satisfied, and happy, and said with a smile: "Not suddenly. Isn't this a greeting to you? Let's talk after you receive my email. Aren't you busy with important things? Then you Get on with it." Yu Weigang wanted to say goodbye, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added: "Hey, by the way, I almost forgot, there is one more thing, and it's also a big one, and I'm just saying hello to you, so you can get ready. He Zhi The group wants to revise the contract amount and maybe even return the goods. Goodbye." Yu Wei hung up the phone, venting his anger, the pores all over his body seemed to be open, and he thought of a word at this moment: Cool. Hong Jun returned to the company from the Kerry Center. When he walked past the front desk, he glanced at Mary who was sitting inside. Mary smiled at him, and Hong Jun felt that her smile was unnatural.Hong Jun walked into his office and just sat down when the door was pushed open, and it turned out that Mary followed. Hong Jun looked at Mary, waiting for her to speak.Mary stood in front of Hong Jun's desk, with her two hands hanging in front of her coat, her left hand holding the four fingers of her right hand tightly, she looked at Hong Jun, and said in a very small voice, "I'm busy all the time." It's over, do you still have to pick up your visa? Give me the visa pick-up form, and I'll pick it up for you." Seeing that she took the initiative to do things for him, Hong Jun knew that the few words he left before going out just now had an effect, but seeing her so nervous and cramped, he didn't expect her to be frightened like this, and he couldn't bear it. Hong Jun took out the visa collection form, handed it to Mary, and said with a smile, "Thank you." Mary took the list from Hong Jun with both hands, lowered her eyes, not looking at Hong Jun, and said: "This is what I should do." At the same time, she turned around and was about to open the door to go out. Hong Jun remembered something and said, "Wait a minute." Mary turned around immediately, blushing, lowered her head and said, "Ah, I forgot to ask you anything else." Hong Jun was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he had been regarded as a vicious person, so he could only smile and said as gently as possible: "It's okay, I just remembered, and I want you to book a ticket for me." Mary stomped her feet, and even said to herself with some annoyance: "Oh, I was thinking of asking just now." Hong Jun laughed all of a sudden, took a note, wrote a few lines, handed it to Mary, and said, "You can book the flight according to the date above, and you can book Air China for me." Mary took the note with both hands again, looked at it, and asked, "Don't you fly with Singapore Airlines? Don't everyone say that the service of Singapore Airlines is good?" Hong Jun chose Air China because he wanted to accumulate the miles on his Air China Companion Card, but he didn’t say it clearly. Instead, he gave a high-sounding reason: “Singapore Airlines’ air tickets are expensive, while Air China’s is much cheaper.” Mary showed an expression of admiration and emotion, as if Hong Jun in front of her was simply a glorious and tall model. Hong Jun added another sentence: "However, you should pay attention when booking Air China. I don't want to stop in Xiamen. You can book a direct flight for me." Mary nodded in agreement. Hong Jun smiled and said: "Let's think about it, what can I bring you from Singapore? There seems to be nothing to bring there. The souvenirs are all the Merlion, but no matter how they are made, they look like a Merlion. I guess I can only bring you some chocolate or something to fool you." Mary was stunned for a moment, because this was indeed out of her surprise, but soon she became happy, looked at Hong Jun and smiled, waved her hands and said, "Oh, you don't need to bring anything, really." Hong Jun was also very happy to finally make Mary happier. He knew it was not because of the small favor of chocolate, but because Mary saw that he had no prejudice or malice, so she finally stopped worrying.Mary smiled and asked if there was anything else. Hong Jun shook his head and said no, and then Mary turned around and went out. Hong Jun seemed to be able to hear Mary's footsteps became much lighter. Hong Jun was still thinking about the flight, he thought of the flight attendants of Singapore Airlines, with their petite figures, lovely smiling faces, sandals on their feet, especially the soft dresses that tightly wrapped their bodies, their waists Why are they so thin?But Hong Jun couldn't bear the strong smell of perfume on their bodies, and it seemed to have a unique smell in Southeast Asia, but Hong Jun thought again, if it wasn't like this, flies and mosquitoes like himself might have been bitten on them. The idea in Hong Jun's mind that he didn't want to go to Singapore for a meeting changed suddenly after he received an email.The secretary of the boss in the Asia-Pacific region sent an email to all those who will attend the meeting. The email mentioned that everyone's accommodation and meeting place will be the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Singapore.Hong Jun is not interested in the list of attendees, topics and agenda listed in the email. He has attended this kind of meeting too many times, and this time he is simply "making up the numbers" for Jason. "I went, but the hotel I chose made Hong Jun want to go to this meeting, and even became a little looking forward to it. Hong Jun has been to Singapore N times, and he has stayed in almost all the hotels in the famous hotel area north of the Merlion statue, from the Stanford Hotel and Raffles Hotel in the west to the hotel in the east. I have stayed in several hotels such as Marina Mandarin, Oriental Oriental, Conrad and Pan Pacific, but the only one I have not stayed in is this Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Hong Jun once noticed this board-shaped building when passing by. There is a row of octagonal windows from top to bottom in this hotel, he felt a little curious, is there such a shape of windows in the guest rooms, or is there any special function? Now, when Hong Jun opened the door of his room at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, threw his luggage on the carpet, and stood in the center of the room and looked around, he saw the octagonal window in the bathroom. Inside, there is a bathtub under the window. Hong Jun walked into the bathroom and saw a toilet-like thing next to the toilet, but there was no cover, and there was no such a big water tank. He knew what it was for, and it was not for him anyway. He remembered Julia. Roberts burst onto the balcony in Pretty Woman, yelling at Richard Gere that she finally figured out what this thing was for, laughing. Hong Jun walked to the bathtub, turned on the faucet, adjusted the temperature, closed the drain valve in the bathtub, took two exquisite small bottles from the countertop next to the bathtub, poured the whole two bottles of bath liquid into the bathtub, and put it in the faucet. The water flowing out stirred the bath liquid, and soon filled the entire bathtub with crystal clear foam. Hong Jun scooped out a lot of bath salt from a porcelain jar on the countertop, and sprinkled it into the bathtub. The purple bath salts were all held up by the foam at first, then slowly fell, melted, and disappeared. Everything was ready, and Hong Jun didn't forget that there was one more action to do. He walked to the door of the bathroom, pressed the switch, and turned off all the lights in the bathroom.When he turned around, he was stunned, and the bathroom was dark, but he could see that the octagonal window was like a beautiful picture frame, and the beautiful scenery outside the window was like a high-definition picture, embedded on the wall.The octagonal windows reminded Hong Jun of those exquisite masterpieces in Suzhou gardens—the windows contain the color of Xiu, and he finally realized this unique oriental artistic conception. Hong Jun took off his clothes, took advantage of the light coming in from the window, walked to the window, sat in the bathtub and half lay down, with his head resting on the edge of the bathtub, the octagonal window was on his left, he raised his wrist and tapped the glass with his fingers, tilted head looking out the window.His room faces north, and he can see the long strings of car lights on the Pan Island Expressway in the distance. The lights on the left are red because they are all taillights, and the lights on the right are white. , because they are all headlights, the traffic here is on the left.Hong Jun thought that if he lived in a room facing the south, he should be able to see the row upon row of buildings in the central business district and the bay under the moonlight. Ten years ago, when he was just entering the industry and still doing odd jobs, he went on a business trip to Shanghai for the first time. He stayed in a guest house that cost 20 yuan a night, and he was with a salesman who looked like Li Kui from a township machinery factory. They lived in the same room, because Hong Jun couldn't afford to live in this room alone, and the price of 40 yuan per room exceeded the standard.He has been worried about the "huge sum" of five hundred dollars in his possession, which is all his travel expenses.He put the money under the pillow at first, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he had to find a small plastic bag, put the money in the plastic bag and stuff the plastic bag into his underwear, and finally fell asleep peacefully.At that time, a friend of his was also a handyman, but he was doing handyman at IBM and also went to Shanghai on a business trip, but he lived in Jincang Wenhua.At that time, Hong Jun didn't know much about IBM's annual sales and its ranking among the world's top 500 companies, but when he heard about it, he felt that IBM's strength was absolutely incredible, which made him click his tongue a lot. For a long time: all the odd jobs live in Jincang Wenhua, tsk tsk.Not only was it a shock to him, but his friend who lived in Jicang Wenhua would often say "the last time I was in Jicang Wenhua..." in the next year, and his pride was beyond words. Hong Jun once couldn't figure out how much it would cost a foreign company to let its employees live in such an expensive hotel, how rich this foreign company is.Later, Hong Jun slowly figured it out. In fact, this is where foreign companies are very shrewd.Foreign companies encourage employees and even irrelevant people to stay in the same hotel. By relying on the total consumption, they can negotiate a good company price with top luxury hotels, which is not much more expensive than ordinary hotels. However, it can directly enhance the company's image, showing that the company may not be very strong, and making customers, partners and even the public respectful.In addition, it also has a very effective function for employees. When an employee travels on a business trip and stays in the best local hotel, it will become a long-lasting memory for him, making him proud of working in this foreign company and greatly satisfying his vanity , He will also consciously or unconsciously share this wonderful experience with his family, classmates, and friends.When foreign companies run into difficulties and need to save money, they will not hesitate to control the number of business trips. If there is no business trip, no business trip will be made. If only one person can go, they will not send two people, but they will not reduce the standard of business trips. Standard, will not change to live in low-end places. Lying in the bathtub, Hong Jun remembered that when he was at ICE, it was precisely because of this consideration that he stipulated that employees, regardless of their grades, could stay in first-class local hotels during business trips. He strictly controlled the number of business trips, the number of people and the number of days. , but he does not save money on the unit price of the hotel. Calculated, such a "luxury" for a year is not much higher than if everyone goes to a big car shop, and the proportion of hotel expenses to the total operating expenses is still very small. Now that he has arrived in Visil, where he lives on business trips and where other people live on business trips, these are no longer in his hands.
