Chapter 4 Circle Trap 3 (Endgame) Part 2-2

Cun Tou stepped into the car with one foot and stood on the ground with the other foot looking at Li Longwei. Although the tall man had put his hand on the gear lever but not in gear, Li Longwei knew that he had to make a decision in a split second. He knew that this was CK. He also knew that he fell into this trap perfectly, and everything was against him, but where did these two policemen come from?Real cops or fake cops?If it was a real policeman, did he collude with CK or was he also deceived by CK's trap?Exhausted, he was unsure, but he didn't dare to gamble. Suddenly, Cun Tou next to him said gently: "Who else is there in your family? Parents? Wife? Children? You are also in your prime now, what is worth taking the risk and spending the rest of your life on? For one hundred thousand yuan It’s not worth it; to get revenge on your company and your boss? It’s not worth it, think more about your family members, think more about your own future.”

Don't think about it anymore, Li Longwei has already thought about it, he can't afford to bet.He didn't look at CK at all, lowered his head and asked, "Why do you want to be private?" CK quickly replied: "You resigned from the company, promised not to do anything that would damage the company's reputation in the future, and not to file any labor disputes or legal proceedings against the company, that's it." Li Longwei gave a "hmm" in a low voice, sat in the car and opened Li Longwei's handcuffs, grabbed the computer bag from his lap and handed it to CK, who was bending over from a suitcase on the ground He took out a stack of A4 papers and said, "Are you satisfied with the resignation letter written like this?"

Li Longwei took it in his hand, looked at it in the dim light of the roof light, and heard CK say: "We are still friends." The door was pushed down from the seat, and CK asked from the other side of the car: "The company only needs one copy, do you want to keep one?" Li Longwei still ignored him, and walked straight to Walking in front of the thick fog, he felt as if he was stepping on the clouds, and his figure quickly disappeared into the gray-white tent. The dinner that Deng Wen had promised Hong Jun for a long time finally came true. At this time, it has been more than ten months since he said to thank Hong Jun in Las Vegas, and it has been more than eight months since he returned to Beijing.Deng Wen invited Hong Jun to the hotel where he was staying, and took Hong Jun directly from the lobby to the Indian restaurant on the first floor. He said that the food and service of this place were good. Of course, he could not forget to explain why he didn't go to the restaurant outside the hotel. In fact, Hong Jun could have guessed it even if he didn't mention it. Naturally, he can enjoy a large discount on food and beverages in the long-term private room here.Deng Wen didn't suggest Hong Jun to bring Phoebe on the phone, so Hong Jun asked Phoebe to go back to her home this weekend.

As soon as the two were seated, the waiter in sari brought a plate of crispy crisps with a smile on his face. Hong Jun cupped his hands and said to Deng Wen: "It's rare, it's finally time to eat your old man's meal. You don't have to be late for a good meal. This restaurant is nice, and the Indian crepes are delicious." Deng Wen ordered a curry-style set meal without looking at the menu. After Hong Jun ordered a chicken curry and some pancakes, he said, "Hey, have you been to this place too?" "To tell you the truth, there are few restaurants I have never eaten in Beijing!" Hong Jun said with a smile again, "This seems to be the earliest Indian restaurant in Beijing. I have been here more than once."

Deng Wen looked at Hong Jun for a while, and said with concern: "You've lost weight." Hong Jun teased: "Nowadays, no matter whether the other party is a man or a woman, the most popular compliment is 'you've lost weight'. When you say it, you should be surprised and sympathetic, and it's best to show a hint of envy and jealousy. You are really vulgar, but you are not too hot, and you don't show any envy." "I didn't envy you at all. I mean, you're really thin. Are you busy?" "You are getting more and more vulgar. Men nowadays are afraid that others will say that he is not busy. Yes, I am busy and thin. Think about it. I have returned to the forefront of the struggle. Can I not be busy?"

"Don't slap your face swollen to make you fat. It's just your mouth. You used to hurt others and now you hurt yourself. I know you're having a hard time." Hong Jun was still giggling: "You're wrong about that, no one swells up their face just to be fat, but there are quite a few people who swell their face to be thin, lose some fat, cut off some bones..." "Okay, okay," Deng Wen interrupted dissatisfiedly, "Why are you mentioning this at the dinner table? I'm telling you the truth, did you have a hard time in Vizier?" Hong Jun felt that Deng Wen's gaze seemed to be visiting a terminally ill patient lying under a white sheet, or paying homage to a corpse placed among flowers and cypresses.The sympathy from others has always been the most intolerable thing for Hong Jun, and in the current adversity, he even regards other people's concern as pity and rejects others' help as charity.Avoiding Deng Wen's gaze, Hong Jun glanced at a statue of an Indian god placed by the wall, and replied disapprovingly: "Hey, when did I do it so easily? These days, no matter who does it, no matter where it is done, it is a Words are difficult!"

"I heard that there is only one-third of the territory and people under your hands left. Does your new boss not tolerate you?" Hong Jun had no choice but to say: "It seems that the situation is completely at odds. A few days ago, he squeezed away a very capable helper of mine. Now I have ten sales directly. I have to continue to do things, but I have nothing to do. I’m in a bad mood. You just need to know about my situation.” "Then what are your plans? How about looking for opportunities outside? You must be familiar with the people in your circle. Contact those headhunters who specialize in high-level positions?"

"I don't have such an idea yet. I have stayed in Visil for too short a year and a half. Let's carry it on." "You have to find a way to find a turning point. It's too passive to keep carrying it like this. If the new boss always fights against you, it will be difficult for you to get things done even if you have great abilities. If you can't finish quota, he has a reason to put You squeezed away, so he can afford it and you can't." Deng Wen couldn't help being suspicious when he saw Hong Jun's ambiguous look, "It's impossible for you to have no plans, you must have already made up your mind, hurry up, reveal Disclosure, how are you going to turn salted fish over? Don't worry, my mouth is very strict."

Hong Jun smiled suddenly, just as the waiter brought up the dishes in the elegant copper plate and copper bowl, he picked up the knife and fork with great interest, and said to Deng Wen: "Hey, do you still remember "Walter Defends Sarajevo" Bar?" "Of course, I don't know how many times I watched it when I was a child, but I haven't watched it for more than ten years. Where can I find this kind of movie in the United States. Do you have a disc? There won't be DVDs for this old movie, right?" Hong Jun shook his head and said: "I have watched it at least once more than you. On the night when NATO bombed our embassy in Yugoslavia in 1999, the TV station specially let it go, and I replayed it again. During this time, I kept thinking about that Do you remember a sentence in it? Near the end, on the oil train, Keith asked Walter, 'Can it be exploded without explosives?', Walter said..."

Deng Wen immediately waved the fork in his hand excitedly, and said in unison with Hong Jun's rhythm: "Whoever is alive can see it!" The two laughed happily together after speaking. Hong Jun stopped laughing first, and then said wistfully, "It's been a long time since I laughed like this." He fiddled with the chicken on the plate, and said, "What I want to do now is to live, and compare to see whose breath grows better." Loss and success are temporary, it doesn't matter, whoever survives to the end will really see the outcome." Deng Wen still couldn't think of Hong Jun's turning point in the future, but it was inconvenient to ask more, so he changed the subject and said: "I told you, don't be unhappy, you are not satisfied now, I have been really smooth recently, everything is going well. The situation is good. At the end of last year, the Chinese version of ICE version 8.0 was released on schedule. Now I want to localize some value-added products of the industry version. , now my North Asia R&D center really lives up to its name, and the next step may be to make products for the Japanese market. Recently, the company has been quite calm. Yu Wei hasn't troubled me anymore. I guess he puts his mind on which big list. Well, I just read the monthly report in January, ICE has signed several projects, no wonder, Coman is still half dead, and your Visil..." Deng Wen stopped suddenly, feeling that he was gloating Suspected, he sneaked a glance at Hong Jun, but saw that Hong Jun was graciously ignoring it, and was tearing open the pancake and stuffing it into his mouth, so he continued, "There is a change that makes me feel a little strange. Carpenter has not Why do you ask me about the situation here? I took the initiative to call him, but he always seemed absent-minded. I felt that he didn't care about this stall as much as before. I didn't dare to ask what happened to him. Hey, it might be It's a good thing, maybe he won't worry about it when he sees that everything here is on the right track, or the sky is high and the emperor is far away, as long as he promises to give me enough budget, I can just let go and do a big job."

After hearing this, Hong Jun secretly felt strange. He knew that Carpenter was a paranoid man who always had a whip in his hand and beat his subordinates at any time. Logically, he would never give Deng Wen such lenient treatment. He asked curiously: "Carpenter didn't plan to Come to China again in the near future?" "He mentioned it once when he came last August, saying that he wanted to go to Hoh Xil this year, and asked me if it was open to the public. The last time I talked with him on the phone, he said that he would not consider it any more in the near future." "Have you heard of any major adjustments to the structure of ICE?" Hong Jun asked again. "No, the global kick off meeting just started last month, and both Alvin and Carpenter showed up. The situation is good, and everything is business as usual." Hong Jun immediately thought of the kick off meeting that Vizier was holding in the United States. Wayne even disqualified him from attending the meeting, and he couldn't help feeling aggrieved, so he ignored Carpenter's abnormality. Hong Jun was in a daze, but Deng Wen glanced around and then approached the table, lowering his voice and said: "Hey, I want to hear your opinion on something. Remember the girl you met here last time?" "Remember, isn't it called Katie?" "That's right. Heh, your brain is good. You have a photographic memory. I can't. I can't remember people. Katie has been here for a long time. Now she is the manager on duty in the lobby. I heard her say The salary here is decent, but there is no room for development. You can’t learn new things and go to work every day. It’s quite boring. Our R&D center now has dozens of people, and there are many chores every day. Besides the front desk, we also recruit I hired a girl to be an administrator, and I'm not very satisfied with both of them. It's like Miss Jiao, and I have to serve them. Katie is very responsible and has this quality. As long as you entrust her with everything, she will be very steadfast, and She always thinks of going ahead of you, I have a good impression of her, and I'm considering whether we can recruit her to our R&D center as an Office Manager, what do you think?" Hong Jun guessed what Deng Wen's idea was before he heard a few words, and said with a smile: "Hey, tell me first, did you just find that Katie is suitable because of the lack of people in the R&D center, or because you want to help Katie find someone? A better job and found that the R&D center is a good place to go?" Deng Wen thought for a while, and said embarrassedly: "Aren't these two the same thing, but I think it's suitable for her to work with me." "Of course it's not the same thing. The nature is quite different. The former is still a matter of prioritizing public affairs and private affairs, but it's just a bit like emphasizing the virtuous and not avoiding relatives. Started not to distinguish between public and private, and to use power for personal gain?" Deng Wen explained again and again feebly, Hong Jun suddenly lowered his head and sighed deeply, and said sadly: "I am responsible for your corruption to this point. I am sorry to your Liao Xiaoping." However, Deng Wen was blushed by this joke, and after a long time of embarrassment, he laughed dryly: "Where did you say that? I didn't feel sorry for her, how could you feel sorry for her?" "Are you sorry for Liao Xiaoping? You know it in your heart. I have no right or thought to comment on your own affairs, but since you asked me, I will give you a piece of advice, don't move the affairs of the hotel to the office. Don't mix personal matters with business." As soon as the words came out, Hong Jun also felt a little serious, and hurriedly joked, "Comrade, we must cherish the great situation of stability and unity now." Deng Wen was already in a hurry, and said quickly: "Don't think that other people are as philandering as you are just because you are philandering. Let me tell you, Katie and I are just friends, and nothing happened between us." "But everyone else will guess like me. In fact, it doesn't matter to you how I guess, but if your subordinates also guess like this, it does matter, and if Liao Xiaoping also guesses like this, then it matters even more. At least you have to avoid suspicion, right?" Seeing Deng Wen sitting silently, Hong Jun said, "As for Katie, to be honest, if she is really your friend, she should consider for you instead of making such a request to you. Let alone want to work in your R&D center." Deng Wen frowned for Katie: "She didn't ask for it, and I haven't told her what I think. You don't understand her at all." "That's that, I really don't know her, but I know you too well, anyway, don't say it's unpredictable, I can remind you to be cautious about this matter, and find other opportunities for her." Hong Jun seemed to smell There was a smell of gunpowder, so I decided to stop here, so as not to be unhappy again. Deng Wen seemed to have made up the same idea, and suddenly smiled briskly and said, "Hey, I just thought about it casually, and it didn't matter. Hey, by the way, the yogurt here is very special. Would you like to have one of each?" How about a taste?" Just at this moment, Hong Jun's cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, he heard a very magnetic female voice: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Hong? Hello, I'm Judy, from Coman Company, I'm sorry to bother you on weekends, may I ask?" Do you have a minute now?" Hong Jun subconsciously stood up, motioned to Deng Wen, and then walked aside. He couldn't refuse the request on the phone, not only because of Judy's voice, but also because Judy was from Coman. On the phone, Judy said again: "I am the executive assistant to Mr. Cai, the general manager of Coman's Greater China region. Mr. Cai entrusted me to contact you. Are you going to be in Beijing next week?" "Can I ask Tony what's the matter?" Hong Jun asked back. "That's right, Tony wants to come to Beijing from Hong Kong to visit you. He wants me to ask you what time is convenient so that he can arrange the trip as soon as possible." Judy gave up when she heard Hong Jun calling her boss by his English name. "General" is a title exclusively for outsiders. Hong Jun believed that he did not guess Tony's intentions wrongly. This possibility had always existed in Hong Jun's mind, but he hesitated when the matter came up. Said: "It's hard to say now, it may take a day or two before I can confirm the schedule for the next whole week, so let's do it, I will try to call you back as soon as possible." "Oh, that's it..." Judy was obviously very disappointed, and there was a bit of sadness in her voice. Hong Jun knew that this kind of skill was part of her professionalism, and Judy said again: "That's the only way. Tony, please explain, and please tell me as soon as possible after confirming the schedule, Tony has something very important to talk to you about, so just give me a call." Hong Jun warned: "A reminder, please try not to let more people know about this matter." Judy smiled charmingly and said, "Don't worry, that's exactly what I want to remind you." *** At the southern end of the Xueyuan Road in Beijing, not far from the Yuandadu Relics Park, there is a Cantonese seafood restaurant that was once glorious but has long since faded away.This place was chosen by Professor You. Xiao Tan originally planned to invite him to Beijing Restaurant to eat Tan's family dishes, but Professor You insisted on just casually near the school, so he had no choice but to do as he wanted.Xiao Tan arrived a lot earlier than the appointed time. He first went to the reserved private room for a tour, and then came out again. He stood at the most eye-catching position on the steps at the entrance of the restaurant and waited for Professor You's arrival. He was not in a hurry to see Professor You. He was afraid that Professor You would not see the humility he deliberately put on. Just when Xiao Tan was looking forward to seeing it through, Professor You finally came. He was driving a blue Nissan Teana. Xiao Tan hurriedly greeted him with dancing on the steps. He raised his hand resting on the steering wheel as a response.When Professor You parked the car and walked to the entrance of the restaurant, Xiao Tan had already run down from the steps to greet him, stretched out his hand and said, "Your car is really nice." Professor You only held hands with Xiao Tan loosely, then put it down, and said lightly: "Hey, isn't it just a means of transportation." Miss Yingbin picked them up in the hallway, and was about to go to the private room on the second floor, but Professor You stopped at the stairs and said, "Go to the private room? It's just the two of us, don't you need it? Downstairs is fine. " Xiao Tan apologized and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the seats will be too noisy." "Hey, the business here is not good, and not many people come at noon, I think I should find a quieter table." Both Xiao Tan and Miss Yingbin gave up and chose a table on the first floor to sit down.Xiao Tan passed the menu handed over by the waiter to Professor You with both hands, but Professor You waved his hand, fiddled with the napkin and said, "You should come, it's easy, Mondays are the most things, and I have a lunch in the courtyard this afternoon. Yes, there is not much time at noon." Xiao Tan's heart turned cold. Professor You's simple posture was obviously coping with it. He made up his mind that he didn't want to owe Xiao Tan anything. This meant that it was difficult for Xiao Tan to get anything from Professor You. Xiao Tan secretly Cheer yourself up, it’s not attractive to invite people to dinner these days, think about it from another angle, if someone really only wants to eat and drink, no one will invite him, the inviter and the invited are not thinking about the meal .Xiao Tan ordered the most expensive hot dishes on the four menus, and Professor You said noncommittally, "That's all they have here." Then he raised his head and said to the waitress who was recording the names of the dishes: "I think your place is getting worse and worse. , It’s not going to work like this, do you know where your problem is? Lack of continuous innovation.” Xiao Tan looked sympathetically at the waitress who was flushed with embarrassment by Professor You's earnestness, and remembered that he had also had the honor of listening to Professor You's almost occupational disease-like teachings in the few meetings.Professor You is less than fifty years old, and he is in the limelight in the industry. His influence does not match his short and lean figure at all. Xiao Tan and him are not close friends, but have only dealt with each other in public, although they have done some homework before. , but I still don't know if I can have in-depth and intimate contact with Professor You this time. The waitress walked away as if fleeing, and there was only one educated person left in front of her. Instead, Professor You lost the desire to give advice, and looked at Xiao Tan expressionlessly.Xiao Tan suddenly remembered something, hurriedly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Professor You. Professor You took it over and looked through it, muttering: "ICE Company, Global Strategic Cooperation Department, Director of Asia Pacific Region. It didn't seem to be called this before. ? Replaced with a new one?" This business card was printed privately by Xiao Tan himself, and he has several others that are suitable for other occasions. He explained: "Now I report directly to the president of the Asia-Pacific region. There are more resources available than before, and it is also easier to carry out cooperation in various aspects." It's all easier." Professor You put the business card on the table and said, "Oh, no wonder you said on the phone that your boss in the Asia-Pacific region had some ideas for you to pass on." Xiao Tan thought, if I didn't say that, could I invite you out?With a smile on his face, he expressed his intention of coming: "My boss attaches great importance to the Chinese market, and also attaches great importance to the cooperation and exchanges with the academic circles. He asked me to ask the authorities in the industry for advice. Is it possible for ICE and top academic institutions to Let’s hold a large-scale summit forum together, invite senior people in the industry and senior executives of related companies to communicate with each other, and have a brainstorming session, which will definitely spark a lot of sparks.” This move was agreed upon by Xiao Tan after a secret meeting with Pete in Shenzhen during the Spring Festival. The most urgent task is to enable ICE to establish a new communication channel with the First Resources Group, so that Pete can penetrate the iron curtain set up by Yu Wei to control the progress of the project. After weighing it over and over again, I feel that organizing a summit forum is the best solution. It can not only use the wholesale public relations tactics to establish extensive contacts with the senior management of the First Resource headquarters and provincial companies, but also hold a high-level fight to strengthen ICE in the industry. However, the key to this move lies in whether ICE can find an ideal partner to play together. After listening to Xiao Tan's statement, Professor You said calmly: "Communication is always a good thing. I always advocate that academia and scientific research institutions should be closely connected with enterprises. On the one hand, we must strive to transform scientific research results into productivity and energy. The value recognized by the market, on the other hand, it is necessary to find new research directions from the market and enterprises in a timely manner, so that both enterprises and scientific research institutions can achieve sustainable development. There is no harm in doing this kind of activity, but it is best Don't make it a purely commercial act, and don't have too much commercial flavor, otherwise neither the academic circles nor the invited companies will be satisfied." Xiao Tan secretly complained, the difficulty lies in this. He and Pete are not afraid of losing money and making money, but they are afraid of losing money and setting up a stage. It is very important, we must try to let all the people who come to the summit get real benefits, it depends on you to grasp the theme and direction of the event. Your university is the Whampoa Military Academy in our industry, academic and scientific research are both You are the top spot in the industry, and you are the industry leader, so I discussed with my boss, and I very much hope that you and the school can come forward to organize this summit, and we ICE will fully cooperate." Professor You did not express his opinion, but asked, "Which companies are you planning to invite?" "Of course, the more extensive and representative the better, but this kind of forum summit is also afraid of unrestrained, too many people talking, and the excitement is lively, but if it is not targeted, the participants will feel that they will not gain much, so we think that in addition to academic The world and scientific research institutes should also have relevant leaders from the Ministry of Information Industry, and of course there must be industry media, companies, should we first target the First Resources Group this time?" Professor You suddenly smiled, tapped his fingers on the table, and said with a little contempt: "So you are here for the first resource, and you have made such a big circle, can you contact the first resource directly?" , why do you have to make our school a tiger skin?" Xiao Tan looked embarrassed. Professor You pointed out the questions he had been puzzled before. What are the benefits of this activity for Professor You?He should have found the answer and came to see Professor You, but the situation was so compelling that he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come here hoping to play it by ear.At this time, the waiter brought a few cold dishes, and the one in the center was a combination of Chaozhou-style brine and roasted meat. Xiao Tan hurriedly asked Professor You to use it first, but Professor You just waved his hand and said you come, but he refused to even use chopsticks. move.Xiao Tan didn't dare to persuade him any more, and he didn't dare to take food for Professor You rashly. He felt more and more flustered, because he realized that the problems he was facing were universal. He neither knew what Professor You's needs were, nor I don’t know what Professor You’s taste is, just like he blindly ordered a table for Professor You, praying that there will always be one that suits his taste, he can only blindly sell a bunch of benefits to Professor You, and hit the big luck It seemed that he hoped to meet Professor You's needs. Professor You didn't do anything, so Xiao Tan had no choice but to bear it. Both of them turned a blind eye to the dishes on the table. Of course Xiao Tan was not afraid that the cold dishes would be cold, but he was afraid that the scene would be cold, so he tried again: "You are so busy, domestic and foreign. Do you have a lot of business trips?" "Hey, when I mention this, I get a headache. I'm out of skills. I have to cancel many activities. There's no way." "Our ICE will have a global industry application conference in April, in Las Vegas, USA, are you interested?" "April, that's definitely not enough. I'm more flexible when the school is on summer vacation in July and August." Professor You's eyes didn't shine at all, and he seemed unmoved. "I heard that ICE will launch an innovation center with some partners at this meeting, and MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Motorola, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom and BellSouth will all participate. I think this is a very good idea. Platform, the technology and application level of our related industries in China are very high, and the market is so big, if you can share your research results with them, it must be a very meaningful thing. If you can go, ICE can strive to promote Your research center and Japan's NTT DoCoMo are the only two founding members in Asia." Xiao Tan sent a generous gift, which he obtained through lobbying Peter, based on his respect for experts and scholars like Professor You. I understand that this gift is exactly what he likes, and it can't be said that it is not light. Xiao Tan was greatly disappointed by Professor You's reaction, and he said again flatly: "This kind of communication is always a good thing. The global economy has become integrated, and academics and scientific research are becoming more and more independent of national boundaries. It's just my plan to visit abroad. It’s already scheduled for next year, and I’m sure I won’t be able to get out this time, how about sending one of my assistants? I also have a Ph.D. who is good at English, and I can let him go outside to see the world.” Xiao Tan felt as if he was stepping on the ground, his body was floating around and he was falling, but he couldn't find a foothold. He thought that this unique move would achieve good results, because the level of this move was much higher than his usual moves. Although Xiao Tan worked under Hong Jun for several years, he has never agreed with Hong Jun's philosophy. He thinks Hong Jun is too "metaphysical", but in today's China, "physical" is more feasible. When he is looking for breakthroughs among clients, he often Focusing on meeting the most basic and even the most primitive needs of customers, he once admired the profoundness of Chinese culture from the bottom of his heart. How could the ancients be so wise?The so-called "searching for color" brilliantly summarizes what people seek and choose, one is "things" and the other is "color".But after he found Professor You, the stepping stone to open the door to the first resource, he couldn't figure out what Professor You was looking for, "things"?Or "color"?Or both?But Xiao Tan didn't dare to test it, let alone provide it rashly. He and Professor You are far from close to each other, so they can only continue to explore other directions. Xiao Tan refilled the tea for Professor You, and asked: "Your research center belongs to the national key laboratory, right? My boss hopes to have the opportunity to visit you and your research center when he comes to Beijing next time. He I have an immature idea. I don’t know if ICE can build a laboratory with your research center. We provide the required hardware and software environment. You can help us cultivate some talents and improve the enterprise management software in the industry. The level of application must be of great benefit, don't you think?" Professor You took a sip of tea and said politely: "We are a laboratory supported by a large amount of funds allocated by the state, undertaking very heavy vertical and horizontal scientific research tasks, and also an important talent training base. We have always attached great importance to cooperation with domestic Your boss has a very good idea, and he is welcome to visit and guide us at his convenience. Regarding the joint establishment of laboratories, we can continue to discuss in the future. This is not a decision that can be made in one or two sentences. thing." The move that Xiao Tan just struck seemed to hit the air, and he couldn't do anything anymore.At this time, the hot dishes came up, one serving of crispy suckling pig, one serving of goose feet in abalone sauce, one serving of steamed grouper, and one serving of roasted scallops in XO sauce. A bowl of white rice." The waiter trotted to fill up two bowls of white rice, and brought them back one by one. Professor You took a bowl and took turns scooping out as much as possible from the three hot dishes other than the crispy suckling pig with a spoon. Pour the soup on the rice, stir it a few times and eat it. Xiao Tan was dumbfounded, the chopsticks in his hand were hanging over the crispy suckling pig but he forgot to move on. Professor You noticed, and while chewing, stretched out three fingers of his left hand, and explained vaguely: "I'm used to it, I I have eaten in the cafeteria for thirty years, and they all said that I am a workaholic, and I do this every day at noon, and the nutrition and calories needed for the vegetable soup and rice are all in it." Seeing that Xiao Tan was still in a daze, he urged , "Eat, let's do whatever we want, I've always eaten so fast." Xiao Tan was deeply moved and couldn't help sobbing a little. He seemed to see Jiang Zhuying and Luo Jianfu 20 years ago, and Professor You is indeed an outstanding representative of the new generation of intellectuals in the past 20 years of reform and opening up. Xiao Tan is ashamed Just now, he thought about Professor You's taste in "things" and "color", and felt that it was a defilement of Professor You. He felt so guilty that he completely lost his appetite.Xiao Tan took a sip of tea, saw that Professor You was taking a breath, and said honestly: "Hi, it would be great if everyone is as enterprising as you. Actually, I really want to get in-depth contact with the senior management of the first resource right now. Get in touch, but it's very difficult, so I want to ask you to see how you can help me, I have met with their boss Zheng several times, but, hey, I can't figure it out. " Professor You put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said with displeasure, "Old Zheng? No one can handle him!" Xiao Tan knew that he had made a slip of the tongue again, and shouldn't have said "get it done" in front of the customer, which is a jargon that is only used internally, so he blushed and hurriedly changed the subject: "President Zheng and you should be alumni, right? It seems that the first resource And most of the top executives of other companies in the same industry graduated from your school, right? The world is full of peaches and plums." "They happened to catch up with the golden age of great development of the industry, and they were supported by the country's special policies in a specific historical period. Not only these people who went to enterprises, but also those who went to work in the ministry also caught up with the good opportunities. Today's position is not surprising." Professor You was very disapproving, as if his achievements had nothing to do with opportunities, and said, "In contrast, I admire those who have created a world with their own bare hands. Xinyuan Do you know Xing Zhong from the Lian Group? He is not easy. I happened to be their counselor when he graduated. He is a student with excellent character and learning. It’s not a problem to go to those companies, but he started his own business from scratch, and now he has achieved such a big business, he is a businessman.” Xiao Tan immediately sensed something strange!Of course he knew Xinyuanlian Group, and he also knew Xing Zhong. What surprised him was that Professor You would praise Xing Zhong so much. Was it just a momentary feeling?Xiao Tan had an idea, and used a clever insinuation: "In my opinion, no matter whether you go to a company or enter an institution, it is not as good as your achievements in academic research, teaching and educating people over the years. I have been in this industry for a while, but I am a layman after all, but even a layman like me knows that you have exerted a lot of influence on the national industrial policy over the years, and you have made great influence on the key technologies and business integration strategies of key enterprises. You have played a guiding role in decision-making, and many of your academic achievements have also contributed to the promotion of technological progress. I was thinking just now that there are many high-tech companies integrating production, learning and research in colleges and universities. Based on your scientific research results, your strategic vision, and your status in the industry, if you start a high-tech enterprise, you will surely create more wealth for the society." Professor You had already wiped out a bowl of rice, and made his second bowl of vegetable soup and bibimbap in the same way, then pointed to Xiao Tan with a spoon and said: "Do you understand this truth? In a healthy and developing commodity economy society , there must be a very sufficient specialization division of labor, the government should not run enterprises, enterprises should not run society, each should do what it should do, and the same is true for colleges and universities. Colleges and universities are places for cultivating talents and academic innovation. If we compare an innovative country In order to become a car, colleges and universities are its engines. Colleges and universities should provide continuous power for corporate innovation, but colleges and universities themselves should not run companies. Which of the well-known multinational companies are school-run companies? Those school-run companies in our country are all It is a special product of a specific historical period, and the brands of colleges and universities will definitely disappear from the names of these companies in the future. I have to mention Xing Zhong again. His Xinyuanlian has not done anything under the banner of our school, although He and the key staff in it all graduated from our school. His company has worked hard step by step based on its own strength, which is amazing. I am a doctoral supervisor and an academic leader. What is it? As you said just now, academic research, teaching and educating people, and giving advice and suggestions for the country and the company as much as I can, but I am not the owner of the company, so I should not run the company. The company should be handed over to excellent people like Xing Zhong Entrepreneurs do it." 小谭自然听懂了尤教授的教诲，他还悟出尤教授言语背后的更深一层含义，分工与合作从来是密不可分的，分工越精细、合作越紧密，显然尤教授与邢众在术业有专攻的同时也在紧密地合作，他正是把本来自己可以办的企业交给邢众去办了！小谭心花怒放，满桌佳肴他还没碰却好像已经饱了，真是踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费功夫，他庆幸自己的运气不错，尤教授居然主动替他破了题。小谭心里有了底，兴奋地说：“您说得太对了，现在有句挺俗的话，说一个人能走多远取决于他与谁同行，呵呵，我要是能和您、能和邢总同行，不管自己多笨也离成功不远了。我和邢总接触过，一直很佩服他，今天听您这么一说我更觉得他很了不起，您看，邢总的信远联集团有没有可能和我们共同主办面向第一资源的高峰论坛啊？” 尤教授并未直接回答，而是似乎觉得小谭孺子可教，又接着给小谭上课：“你们是在盯着第一资源的NOMA工程吧？这个项目已经酝酿很长时间，前后多次的论证会我都参与过，目前仍然还有一些重大问题存在不少争议，核心就是几个事关'以谁为主'的问题，其中之一是以中为主还是以洋为主，有些人认为不仅技术平台和应用软件都应该采用国外的，就连运营和管理模式也要尽量照搬国外同行的，对此我就有不同看法。我认为，这个行业在中国的确比欧美国家起步晚，引进吸收和学习借鉴都是应该的，这十多年我们也一直是这么做的，但是正因为如此，我们反而具有得天独厚的后发优势，我们才可以在这十年间没有任何历史包袱地实现跳跃式发展，一步到位采用最先进的技术和最有效的模式，国外同行有谁有我们这样的发展速度？有谁有我们这么大的市场规模和业务量？我们怎么去学？所以，我的观点还是一百多年前的那句老话，中学为体、西学为用，我不反对采用国外业已成熟的商品化软件，但是怎么把国外的软件用好应该由我们自己说了算。” 小谭抓住时机附和道：“太对了，像ICE的软件已经被国际上同行业的很多知名公司采用，第一资源搞一下'拿来主义'就可以直接获得成熟产品，比自己从头做起效率要高很多，但是ICE的软件到了第一资源的手上怎么才能用好，就应该由信远联这样了解第一资源情况的公司来保驾护航。” 尤教授头一次赞许地点点头，说：“对嘛，你看连你这个外行也能想到这一点，但是我们有很多内行却还是执迷不悟啊，总要找国际上的那几家咨询公司进来，说他们手里有很好的方法论，可再好的方法论也要看是什么人来用嘛，相关的会我都去听了，那哪叫什么咨询顾问啊？都是一些毛孩子嘛；那哪是来给我们提供咨询的？分明是来我们这里学习的嘛。我又要拿邢众他们打比方，邢众的那些骨干哪个没有和第一资源泡过十年八年？那些咨询公司的人谁有这种经验？” “是啊，咱们受的洋罪还少吗？”小谭说完才意识到自己正是个卖洋货的，忙拉回到他最关心的话题，“所以我就想，您的研究中心和信远联集团出面，我们ICE也一起参与，共同和第一资源总部以及各省公司的高层来一次深入的交流，让他们都能认识到这种中学为体、西学为用的价值。” 尤教授没理睬小谭，埋头吃着自己的菜汤拌饭，小谭仍不觉得饿，但发现这一幕很像是一位乐善好施的庄主在款待一个饥民饿殍，万一尤教授也做此联想就不妥了，忙抄起筷子吃起来。没多久尤教授就消灭了第二碗，小谭也赶紧放下筷子，尤教授说：“你吃你吃，我说什么你听着就行。峰会这种形式是不错的，你们和信远联之间的合作我就不方便参与了，商业上的事我也没兴趣，你不是管战略合作的嘛，你去和他们谈吧。峰会的主办方最好是我们学校和第一资源两家的名义，可以由我们研究中心做承办方，信远联和你们ICE都作为协办方，第一资源的人可以由我们研究中心出面约请，高层有不少都是我以前的同学和同事，中层里面我的学生就更多了，经费嘛可能得主要由你们ICE来承担，我对你们还有个建议，就是最好从国外把你们的那些知名客户请一些高层过来，由他们来和第一资源交流类似项目的经验，你们尽量退到幕后，一定不要安排什么产品宣讲之类的，现在大家都对过于商业化的东西很反感，由你们的客户替你们现身说法就好得多，很多时候做绿叶比做红花效果更好。” 小谭不免喜忧参半，喜的是尤教授主动承担起导演的角色，显然已把峰会当作自己的事；忧的是将承担全部经费、投入大量资源的ICE被尤导演分配的角色竟是个幕后英雄，不知道皮特能否接受这种结果。尤教授仿佛没有在意小谭的反应，而是沉浸在自己不断跳跃的思绪里，说道：“无论是国际国内，无论是政治经济，一切的争夺都是围绕着主导权。你看看这些年产业的发展就是这样，无论是技术标准，还是体系流派，还是拆分重组，争的都是一个主导权啊，第一资源搞的这个NOMA工程，吵来吵去也是这个，你们做销售的大概也是一样的道理，没有主导权就不仅失去了话语权，往往也失去了生存权啊。” 小谭暗暗为自己叹息，看来ICE已经失去峰会的主导权了，他当时并没有在意尤教授这番话的深意，等他真正认识到NOMA项目中无处不在的激烈争夺都是针对“主导权”这三个字时，已经是好几个月之后了，而那时，已经太晚了。 *** 星期四下午，洪钧开车到了嘉里中心饭店，他把车停到地下停车场，走进电梯后一看手表便发了愁，离约定的四点还有二十多分钟，按他以往的习惯尽可以在大堂或酒吧把时间打发掉，可是这次不行，这次的他见不得人，他甚至想回到车里等着，但电梯门已经开了，他便低下头快步奔进离电梯间不远的商务中心。 洪钧向商务中心的接待员报出科曼公司的名字，接待员会意后就要马上带他过去，洪钧忙问：“里面有几个人？”接待员看一眼手边的纪录，说：“只有一个人。”洪钧这才放心地跟着她走到商务中心里面的一间会议室。 接待员轻柔地在门上敲了两下，里面传出一声“请进”，接待员替洪钧打开门，站在门旁对里面的人说：“洪先生到了。” 托尼已经笑容满面地走过来握住了洪钧的手，两人隔着一张写字台坐下，托尼要接待员替他续杯咖啡，洪钧也请她顺便送杯汤力水来。两人无言地对视片刻，托尼先开口说：“Jim，你还是那样的龙马精神哇，一点点都没有变。” 洪钧和托尼只在公众场合见过一次，没说上几句话，托尼还是高高瘦瘦的，疲惫中显得有些颓废，洪钧敷衍道：“好久没见了。” 托尼见洪钧有些拘谨，便说：“你看我有多尊重你的隐私，没有请你到我们科曼的office去，也没有约在外面，专门选在这里，在你的前面和后面我都没有约其他人，所以除去我你不会再见到任何人，我有够在意你的隐私吧？我当然明白做事的规矩，知道的人越少成功的机会就越大嘛。” 洪钧默默一笑表示领情，其实这地方是他自己提议的，嘉里中心饭店似乎总和他职业生涯中的转折点有关，一年半之前他就是在外面不远的“炫酷”酒吧里要求皮特把他开除出ICE的，而今他期望这里能为他带来好的转机。 托尼又说：“Jim，你害得我在北京从星期一等到现在的哇，你迟迟说不好什么时候有空，我就早早地跑到北京来待命，你可一定要体谅我这一片苦心哇。当然啦，我在北京也有很多别的事情要忙，但归结起来，仍然全都是为了你。” 洪钧是故意拖到星期四才来见托尼的，所以托尼的前半句话只换得他再一次表示领情的微笑，但后半句话却让他诧异，不禁问道：“怎么会全是为了我？” “我现在就是在做清洁员、在做排雷兵，以前俞威在这里留下太多的trouble，我用一年多的时间疲于奔命，但是老实讲，还是有好多的问题没有解决，我一直没有随便找个人来替我做，就是因为这个position太重要，事情可以做错，但人选不可以找错，我一直想找到最好的人，把一个尽量干净的摊子交给他。Jim，你肯定知道我为什么请你来，我也不用兜圈子，我希望你来坐这个position，做科曼在中国区的销售总监。”托尼说完就眼巴巴地望着洪钧。 洪钧径直问道：“就是俞威以前在科曼的位置？” “是呀。”托尼话一出口又马上补充道，“不过title可以调整的啦，可以不叫做中国区销售总监，如果你喜欢可以叫做中国区总经理，反正都是直接report给我的啦。” 洪钧微微一笑，说道：“我关心的不是title，而是这个position所拥有的权力与所承担的责任是否match，如果手上的权力远小于肩上的责任，这个position恐怕谁也坐不长。” 托尼沉吟道：“嗯，你有什么想法吗？我们可以交换一下的啦，我去年花了很多时间呆在北京，也有发现可能有些问题的原因是在于公司的架构。” 洪钧是跳槽的老手也是挖人跳槽的行家，两方面的经验都告诉他，讨价还价最好在进门之前，进门落座之后就恐怕再也没有机会了，既然已经看到这个职位存在问题就必须现在解决它，否则坐到上面以后这问题也就长到了自己身上，再也拿不掉。洪钧有条不紊地说：“中国区的销售总监要对科曼在中国的bottom line负全责，他就应该有权说了算，如果他只有发言权、建议权而没有决定权，却要独自承担最后的结果，这是不公平的也是行不通的。当年我和俞威一起离开原来那家公司，他来了科曼而我去了ICE，后来又几乎是同时离开，但区别在于，俞威给科曼遗留下很多问题，而我走后ICE却风平浪静，根源不在于我和他两个人之间的不同，而在于两家公司架构上的不同。俞威承担了最大的压力，但公司里很多事他说了不算、很多人他指挥不动，身边有太多和他平级的director也都向你report，彼此掣肘，所以才逼得他处处挖空心思变通，转而去公司外面找资源、找捷径，他也知道这样不能长久，所以才会有一系列的短期行为。你刚才说人选不能找错，我同意，但人选更不能用错，如果公司架构不合理，恐怕换了谁都一样。你刚才说科曼如今的麻烦都是俞威留下的，似乎其他人都没有责任，而你当年把俞威请来时恐怕也自信是请对了人吧，我可不想等将来我离开后，你在我的继任者面前又把全部责任推到我头上。” 托尼双手交叉拢在胸前，揉着又窄又斜的双肩，好像这副肩膀再也无法承受重压，沉默良久之后冷不丁问道：“看来你对这个position是很有兴趣的啦？” “我对任何挑战都有兴趣。”洪钧笑呵呵地回答。 “那你对package有什么样的expectation？” “我希望在你和我对这个position的权责问题达成一致之后再来谈package，我当然关心package能拿多少，但我更关心package能拿多久。”洪钧意味深长地说。 托尼又沉吟片刻才说：“你的想法有些道理，但这样一来科曼在中国就不只是新请一位销售总监，而是整个架构都要重组，可能很多人都要换老板，我如果现在就给你一个明确的答复显然是对你和我都不够负责任，我需要回去考虑一下，我也要请示我的老板，然后再和你谈，你放心，我们香港人做事很快的。” 洪钧笑了，说：“我很有耐心，你在北京等了我四天，我可以等你很多个四天。”
