Chapter 7 Circle Trap 3 (Endgame) Part 3-3

This day's dinner was arranged at Fangshan in Beihai, and Freeman was in high spirits.Wayne and others also arrived. He kept apologizing to Freeman, and Freeman waved his hand generously, indicating that there is no need to mention it again.After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Freeman enjoyed the pipa solo again with relish, and took the initiative to go over to embrace them for a group photo, and plucked the strings with his fingers a few times. They all laughed.The manager came to Hong Jun's side, put his hands on the back of the chair covered with a bright yellow cloth cover, and asked in his ear: "We also have very authentic grilled bear paws and roast venison here, which are all served at the Manchu Banquet. , but some foreigners love animals, don’t like them, we didn’t put them in your table because we were afraid of taboo, why don’t you ask?”

When Hong Jun told Freeman what he meant, Freeman responded enthusiastically: "Why not?" After eating and drinking, he returned to the International Club Hotel. Naturally, he went directly to the reporter club bar to start the second round of drinking. Compared with the previous two days, there was a significant change. Hong Jun became the center of the crowd and In the past, he was purely dispensable and was only responsible for paying the bill when the show was over; in fact, everyone was still surrounded by Freeman, but Freeman just asked Hong Jun to ask questions. He liked to hear Hong Jun tell him about China. Things, especially all kinds of classic anecdotes that emerge in endlessly, everyone can only listen and laugh with them.

The bar closed, everyone dispersed, Cork returned to his ambassador suite, wandering around but couldn't think of what to do, he didn't want to sleep, because he didn't want to let this wonderful day end, for fear that he would wake up Everything has become a memory.He took out a small bottle of whiskey from the refrigerator, walked to the desk and sat down, just about to open the wine, the phone rang, and when he picked it up, he heard Freeman saying loudly: "You son of a bitch, you go to bed so early Is it? How dare you sleep before I sleep?!" Kirk smiled and said that he hadn't slept yet, and just wanted to have a glass of wine, Freeman said, "It's not too bad, come here right away, and have a drink with me."

Kirk came to the door of the presidential suite, but the door was ajar. He knocked and pushed the door in. Freeman was not the only one inside. A butler, a waitress and Freeman were all busy at the bar. , when champagne and other things had been placed on the coffee table in the living room, and only Freeman and Kirk were left in the room, Kirk asked, "Still excited?" Freeman held two goblets of champagne in his hands, and handed the one in his left hand to Kirk. After the two lightly clinked the glasses, they drank them down before sitting down and saying: "We can't just be excited, we need to be excited soon." Take action."

Kirk pulled out the wine bottle from the ice bucket, poured two-thirds of a glass of champagne into each of the two wine glasses, and sat down on the sofa opposite Freeman to wait quietly. Freeman fixed his eyes on the bubbles in the glass and said: "This afternoon's meeting is something I will never forget. What impressed me the most is that 'No.3' has such profound knowledge. He knows us far better than We know so much more about China, and frankly, I feel completely ignorant in front of him. You know what I was thinking? I was thinking how to kill you guys out there, or maybe Be a little merciful, and flush your minds of this afternoon to a blank."

Kirk suddenly pinched his throat with his hands and retched a few times, and said weakly: "What did you add to the champagne? I really regret drinking it." Freeman laughed happily and said, "Okay, put away your ugliness. I've been thinking about those few words from 'No.3', do you know which ones they are?" Cork put on a dazed look realistically, and asked stupidly: "What words? I can't remember anything about this afternoon." Freeman couldn't stop laughing and coughing. He picked up the goblet and drank it down again. After his breath calmed down, he asked, "Why did 'No.3' suggest that while helping China's market grow, we should also help the Chinese market grow? Learning from the Chinese market? Why did he suggest that while bringing advanced management experience to China, we should also devote ourselves to cultivating local management talents?"

Kok returned to a serious demeanor, and said: "Because we obviously don't understand the Chinese market. Whenever I think about that scene afterwards, I think it was really terrible. There was only one Chinese among the people we went, and this Chinese It looks like it's just your translation, no wonder they wonder what we've been doing all these years in China." "It's a good thing Wayne didn't go, otherwise there would be another 'big nose'. I really don't know how to introduce our head of China business to 'No.3'." Freeman shook his head.

Kirk listened calmly, without making any statement, and he didn't get up to pour Freeman's wine again, because he hadn't drunk his own wine yet.Freeman glanced aside and said solemnly: "Wayne is a nice guy. In fact, I personally like him very much, but this is not important. What I care about is whether Chinese officials and customers like him. He Spend too much energy on pleasing me, but unfortunately, he should spend his energies on pleasing the people I want to please for me. It's just absurd, look at our peers, which company is letting a person who doesn't understand China The person who speaks is responsible for the Chinese market? In the past two days, Wayne has complained to me many times that our Chinese employees have poor English. The drivers here, the waiters here, and everyone here have poor English. But this is not It's their fault, it's Wayne's fault, who told him he can't speak Chinese?" Freeman suddenly stared at Kirk and raised his voice and said, "But it's not Wayne's fault either, It's your fault, who told you to put him in China?"

Kirk secretly rejoiced that he didn't rush to throw trouble at Wayne just now, otherwise it would be his own feet that hurt now, and he said sadly: "It's not just a language problem, the most important thing is that this person has a relationship with the Chinese market. I am also more and more aware that I have made a very embarrassing mistake, and I was just thinking that this mistake should be corrected as soon as possible, and right now there is a very good candidate who can replace Wayne in charge of China business." Freeman raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you referring to?"

"Jim. Don't you think he is suitable? During the meeting in the afternoon, I found that Chinese officials seemed to like him very much, and they seemed to regard him as their own; in the past two days, the clients we met , partners, government officials and the media, all seem to like him without exception. We need a Chinese in China who can be treated as one of their own by those Chinese.” Freeman asked again: "I heard Wayne say that he has just been in China for three months. Who was in charge of China before him?" "That's Jim." Kirk was a little embarrassed.

Freeman's gaze shot directly at Cork's face like an arrow, and it took a moment before he said contemptuously, "You son of a bitch, is this your dirty trick again? Balancing again?" "You know, Scott may have his own ideas, and I have to respect that," Kirk said dejectedly. Freeman changed from contempt to contempt, saying: "You know what? People have two reactions when they face a problem. They either find a way to solve it, or they find another person to face it for them. Obviously you like it very much." A sort of." Kirk looked embarrassed, but he didn't speak. He neither wanted to defend himself nor to speak ill of Scott and Wayne. He had a premonition that Freeman was about to make a decision, and the boss was making a decision. The previous moment was very sensitive, for fear that this decision was the result of being taken advantage of by others. Freeman stood up and picked up the bottle, poured the wine for himself and said: "Let Jim replace Wayne and take charge of the China region. You know, I will come to China next year, and I hope to have the opportunity to see 'No.3' again." , I hope that by then I can proudly say to him, 'I have done what you asked, look, we have a very good local guy who understands the Chinese market'." Kirk asked cautiously: "How to arrange for Wayne? Let him leave Vizier?" "That's your problem, not mine." Freeman added later, "Find him as comfortable a place as possible, if he wants to stay in the company. He's a good guy." Guy, just got put in the wrong place." Kirk asked again with a little anxiety: "What will Scott think? Do you want to explain to him?" Freeman had already raised his goblet and said, "That's something I should consider, not yours..." Hong Jun's drinking capacity has always been limited, and he couldn't stand the mixed effect of several kinds of local and foreign wines. He had a splitting headache all night. Phoebe tried several methods of sobering up in turn, but nothing worked, but he was too sleepy to support himself.Just when Hong Jun felt drowsy and drowsy, the phone also came. Hong Jun frowned and pressed the phone to his ear, and heard Kirk's laughing and cursing from inside: "You son of a bitch, why are you so early? Are you asleep? How dare you go to sleep before I fall asleep?!" Cork's Australian accent was already strong, and after drinking a lot of alcohol, Hong Jun could barely guess what he meant, and said with a wry smile, "I'm trying my best, but I still can't sleep." "Great." Kirk obviously gloated, but said mysteriously, "I believe that after you hear the news I brought, you won't be able to sleep even more." Hong Jun had come to his senses completely, and his head didn't hurt suddenly. He asked, "What news?" "A big news, so big that I woke you up late at night, so big that you couldn't sleep anymore." Cork's tone was already showing drunkenness, and his words became more ambiguous. He hiccupped and said, "This news is either good or bad. The good news is that you can take charge of Vizier's entire business in China again. The bad news... is that you will have to report directly to me again in the future." The first question Hong Jun thought of was: "Where will Wayne go?" Kirk learned and sold the lesson: "That's what I should think about, not what you should think about." After hanging up the phone, Hong Jun leaned against the head of the bed and stared blankly with his eyes wide open. The thing he had been looking forward to finally happened, but he never thought it would be in this way and at this time.As Hong Jun's voice disappeared, the room suddenly became quiet, but the silence woke up Phoebe who had been sleeping all this time. She turned over in a daze, her eyes still closed, and asked, "Who is it? What's the matter?" Hong Jun leaned down and kissed Phoebe's forehead, stroked her hair with his hands, and said softly, "It's nothing...it's going to be dawn again." *** Freeman returned to the United States, Cork returned to Singapore, Wayne returned to Sydney, CK returned to Taipei, just like after a crazy party, the lovely guests and annoying guests have left, and Hong Jun Becoming the real master again, facing the mess, it's time for him to tidy up the room. Going north along the East Fourth Ring Road, there is a large residential area near Siyuan Bridge. The community was developed relatively early. At that time, the developers did not have the awareness to build underground parking lots to make money. The community was overcrowded with cars. Although most of the private cars are out during working hours, the narrow roads in the community are still cluttered with cars parked on both sides, making it look like an obstacle course in a driving school. Long neck to see if there is enough turning radius.Waiting for the car to turn another corner, there is a small garden in front of it, surrounded by tall buildings all around, the sunlight can only struggle to squeeze in a few rays from the gaps in the buildings, the small garden is as cramped as a place for prisoners in a prison. Breezy patio. There are several small mushroom-shaped pavilions in the garden, and a flower bed in the middle. The flowers of that year have long disappeared, and now there is only an earthen platform. A half-grown child who was left alone was climbing up and down the side of the earthen platform. There were two streams of snot hanging from each red face. A few old men squatted or sat on the edge of the earthen platform to play chess. Holding a few sets of sports equipment for the whole people's fitness thanks to the welfare lottery, several old ladies climbed and pedaled on it.Hong Jun found an apparently extremely disharmonious person in the picture scroll of folk customs in front of him. This person was in his thirties and was young and strong, but he seemed more decadent than the men, women, and children around him. He stood Under the parallel bars, his arms are hanging on the parallel bars, his head is lowered, his eyes are open and closed, and he is looking at the chess game not far away, but his mind has drifted away. any response.Hong Jun hurriedly asked the driver to find a precious parking space nearby and put the car in, and told him to continue waiting on the watch. He got out of the car and walked straight to the man who was half-hanging on the parallel bars, because he was the person Hong Jun was looking for—— Li Longwei. Hong Jun walked over on tiptoe, and the babysitters and old ladies immediately noticed the appearance of this stranger in a suit and leather shoes, and watched his every move with vigilance and curiosity, but Li Longwei didn't notice it, still posing with the Jesus Crucifixion pose.Hong Jun came closer, slapped a bar with his hand suddenly, and said, "You are really nourishing!" Li Longwei was awakened by the trembling of the parallel bars. When he heard the sound, he immediately got out from under the parallel bars and looked up. He was overjoyed and said, "Jim, why is it you?!" "Exercise is a good thing, but at least you have to work hard. What's the use of hanging around like you?" Hong Jun teased. Li Longwei asked: "Why did you come to my place?" "I miss you, and I came to see you for company." Hong Jun said with a smile. The joy on Li Longwei's face suddenly disappeared, and he said, "Did you also be...? These bastards!" Hong Jun was not in a hurry to clarify, but changed the subject and said: "When I left ICE, I was locked up at home alone for 40 days. You have almost 40 days this time, right? I'm really afraid that you will go out. Fortunately, you didn't even go out of the community, so you didn't let me rush out." Li Longwei has returned to the downcast look just now, and said: "I wanted to go to the south to relax, but I'm really not in the mood. Let's wait until May 1st. My wife will be on holiday then, so let's go out together." "Don't wait for May Day, it's too late, let's go to Shanghai together in two days." Hong Jun said seriously. "Shanghai? Don't go! When I mention Shanghai, I get angry. I will go again when Wayne and CK leave." Li Longwei said bitterly. "Oh, then we can go now." Hong Jun ignored Li Longwei's wide-eyed eyes filled with surprise, and asked again, "Aren't there any companies looking for you these days?" "There are a few, but they are not very good. They all seem to come to collect junk and pick up cheap. I don't want to wait for your news, and we can find another way out together when you come out." "Okay, then pack up quickly and go back to work in Vizier tomorrow." Hong Jun said lightly. Li Longwei's eyes widened, he seemed a little unbelievable amidst surprise, he asked incoherently: "Ah?...you mean? We...you won?" Hong Jun looked at Li Longwei in front of him, dressed in wrinkled sweatshirts and pants, long hair, unshaven face, and bent back, making him look even shorter. The lonely Li Longwei who was engaged in technology that he met on the day of Visil seemed to be more energetic than the current one.Hong Jun suddenly felt sad and couldn't bear to tease him anymore, so he sighed softly and said calmly: "Well, I'll decide again." "It's the same as before?" "En." Hong Jun nodded. "Wayne, CK, they're all gone?" "En." Hong Jun nodded again. "Really?! How did you drive them away? What happened?" "A butterfly in the Amazon River basin flapped its wings a few times, and finally brought a storm in the Mississippi River basin, that's what happened." Hong Jun said lightly, and despite Li Longwei's repeated questions, he just said, "Specific Let's talk later when you have time." Li Longwei still hadn't recovered from the surprise, and muttered to himself: "It's the same again..." "It's not exactly the same, you have to keep pace with the times. You can still use the original E-mail account. As for the notebook, just get a new one. Who knows where the original one got lost." Hong Jun squeezed Eyes, and said with a smile, "Also, the territory has to be changed, and you will be affected. Take care of all the sales of the four industries." Li Longwei has not yet entered the role, let alone the psychological preparation for taking on this important task, he waved his hands and said repeatedly: "No, no, I can't take care of it, you absolutely can't leave it all to me alone." "Well, I've thought about it, don't worry, it will relieve some pressure on you." Li Longwei suddenly asked: "Tell me, are the two police officers who punished me last time real or fake?" Hong Jun stared at Li Longwei for ten seconds, and said seriously: "Larry, although I can recall you back to the company, only you can make you come out of that experience. We have more urgent issues right now. There are things to do, and it’s best to forget about the past.” He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, stretched out his right hand and said, “I won’t say much, I’m going to Guangzhou soon, I’ll stop by to see you, and I’ll tell you the details when I come back.” Let's talk." Li Longwei held Hong Jun's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Are you going to Guangzhou? You are going to deal with that kid Bill, right? That's right, God has eyes, this kind of villain will finally get his retribution." Hong Jun returned to the car, and the driver cursed the developer and all the private car owners while struggling to go back the same way. Hong Jun was both sympathetic and guilty for him, and made up his mind to collect the whole car money at the airport and not need him to give change .The car drove from Siyuan Bridge onto the airport expressway. Hong Jun asked the driver to roll up the windows. Now that he no longer needed to poke his head out of the window to observe obstacles, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Liu Zheng's landline number, and waited for Liu Zheng to pick up. When he got up, he said sincerely: "I have nothing to do, just thank you, even if you don't say thank you for your great kindness, I still have to thank you." Liu Zheng said: "You have a conscience, I thought you disappeared again. I heard from Luo Mi that the interview went well that day." Hong Junlian said "Yes", and told Liu Zheng about the changes after the interview. Liu Zheng smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have become a big comprador from a small comprador." Hong Jun blushed, and realized that what Liu Zheng was looking for was really not up to the level in Liu Zheng's eyes, and his complacency was half dispelled. He struck up a conversation and said, "Anyway, I have to thank you for everything, I am even more serious now. I deeply understand the meaning of the phrase 'turn over and never forget the Communist Party', and if I need your help in the future, I will look for you again." Liu Zheng was a little displeased: "Don't dare to take it. Your pragmatism is too naked, isn't it? If you have nothing to do, don't ask me for help anymore, right?" Hong Jun hurriedly explained: "No, no, of course, when I have nothing to do, I should often report my thoughts to you and accept the supervision of the organization, but I don't need to be embarrassing about these things." "Okay, then let's make an appointment now, and when you get married, you must invite me to attend." "Uh... let's fight for it." Hong Jun was caught off guard, and couldn't think of a better excuse in embarrassment. "Yo, what are you fighting for? Are you fighting for marriage or asking me to join in the fun when you get married? Both of these things are not up to you? Which girl made you so democratic?" Liu Zheng came instead curiosity. "Uh... no, aren't you busy? I'm afraid you won't have time then, and besides, a common man like me, I don't know if my face is big enough to invite such a big leader like you." "To tell you the truth, the event I attend the most seems to be weddings, so you don't have to make excuses." "Okay, I'll treat this as a political mission." As soon as Hong Jun hung up, Deng Wen's call came, and he said in a hurry: "I went to Seoul a few days ago, and I just came back yesterday, and only saw the news that your boss was interviewed. How is the result? Is your boss satisfied? " Hong Jun told Deng Wen about the vicissitudes that just happened. Of course, Deng Wen was happy for him, but more seemed to find it unbelievable, and muttered: "The bigger the boss is, the more emotional he is. If you want to change, you can change it. It's decided." It's settled." Then he asked Hong Jun full of emotion, "Tell me, don't we all have to be manipulated by the boss?" Hong Jun opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, Deng Wen asked again: "Is this the turning point you've been waiting for?" Hong Jun replied honestly: "I have been waiting, but I don't know what I am waiting for." Deng Wen let out an "uh", and seemed to feel more and more uncertain about life's circumstances, and sighed: "Hey, people can't help themselves in the Jianghu." He immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with us? This is a big happy event for you, why did you make it so sad, blame me, blame me, hey, someday I will treat you, and I will congratulate you well." Hong Jun said that he was about to go on a business trip, and Deng Wen suddenly said: "Hey, I found out that you and Liu Zheng are still destined. You were reinstated, and she was promoted again. She was included in the large number of appointments and dismissals reported in the news yesterday. .” Hong Jun said in surprise: "Ah?! Why didn't I know?" "Don't you watch TV?" Deng Wen asked back in surprise. "I just finished talking with Liu Zheng on the phone, so I didn't hear what she said." "How could someone report this kind of thing to you? You, this is not only a national event, but also has a lot to do with you. How can you not care? Did you just talk about your own affairs on the phone? How about asking about the family?" Hong Jun was speechless, and Deng Wen said again: "I really have to remind you, you are too self-centered, even if you are polite, you should care about others." Deng Wen also earnestly taught Hong Jun that he didn't care about anything. The joy of "getting back to power" was gone, and the pride of "making things right" was gone. He felt that he was very small, so small that he couldn't even find himself. However, he struggled to make himself appear not so small, as if feeling the pressure from many years ago again, he immediately smiled wryly, in fact, Liu Zheng only cared about him at most today, but he thought again, Maybe caring is a kind of pressure, and it is the biggest pressure. *** Bill has been restless for the past few days, Wayne disappeared overnight, and Jeffrey hurried back to Hong Kong by train. He didn't bother to have another morning tea together at Jingxing Hotel, but just said something in a hurry "If your job is gone, I can help you find a way." Not only did this not reassure Bill, but it made Bill realize that his job seemed to be over.In the past few days, he has harassed several well-known headhunting companies in Guangzhou. He even called the headhunting company that Vizier has been hiring. The other party was very excited at first and asked enthusiastically, "What? Are you looking for someone?" He hesitated and finally let the other party understand that it was he who wanted to find a position, and the other party was immediately discouraged.Bill knew that his hope of getting away with this kind of dying struggle was very slim, because headhunters had always only helped the company find people. The so-called helping people find jobs was just a pretense, just to enrich his candidate database. He also worried that at most it was self-determination Yu Hongjun personally, and the current practice is to decide on Visil himself, but he can only go all out. Hong Jun's phone call the day before had startled Bill. He didn't expect Hong Jun to move so fast, and he didn't expect himself to occupy such an important position in Hong Jun's heart, so that Hong Jun was so eager to come to Guangzhou. He forced himself to be calm. He smiled and said, "I'll pick you up at the airport." Hong Jun just replied flatly, "No, I know the way." Bill occasionally feels regret these days, hating that he has seen so little of the world and does not understand the impermanence of the world. The ancients said that thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river, these words obviously do not apply to today's ever-changing, no, change it to three Yuehedong and Hexi are about the same in three months; he hates himself for trying to humiliate Hong Jun for a while, it seems that he will never do things that hurt him in the future, and the people in the well hate the most often not the person who pushed him down the well, It's the person who throws a stone into the well, even if he only throws a small stone, like him, he only throws a small stone.Bill thought that time was running out, and he didn't think that asking Hong Jun for forgiveness would save him anything, so he made up his mind that a soldier can be killed and cannot be humiliated, and Hong Jun must not let Hong Jun humiliate him in turn. I want to think about it, but I always feel that my waist is involuntarily bent down, and my knees are also involuntarily weakened. Bill didn't even eat lunch, as if to punish his sins, and kept calling Hong Jun's cell phone. He carefully grasped when he landed, when he got on the taxi, and when he entered Tianhe District, as if his heart was with Hong Jun all the way even though his people didn't go to the airport. He could already see CITIC Plaza, so he rushed into the elevator and went down to the lobby, but felt that it was not enough to express his ardent feelings, so he went outside the gate and waited helplessly. When Hong Jun arrived, he didn't have much luggage, only a trolley case and a computer bag. Bill quickly stepped forward to shake hands, and insisted on taking the two things from Hong Jun's hands, making it look like he was in the majestic CITIC Plaza in broad daylight in the eyes of others. There was a robbery at the door, and Hong Jun felt that the impact was really bad, so he gave up resisting and let Bill snatch it.The floor where Visil's office is located is not very high, but it has a good orientation, facing a large green space. Bier Qian let Hong Jun go in first. Several employees were laughing together in Cantonese, and Bill looked down behind Hong Jun. Said: "Why don't you say hello to Jim?! How many times have I told you, don't speak vernacular in the office!" Hong Jun greeted everyone with a smile. After all, I haven't seen each other for several months, and I was really excited.He can't understand Cantonese and Shanghainese, so he can understand the embarrassment and anxiety of foreigners when they are surrounded by Chinese, but he has never explicitly prohibited employees from the two places from speaking in dialect when he comes. It was good that the person in charge brought it up, and Hong Jun felt much more comfortable. Obviously, Bill's move was more clever than the method of snatching the luggage just now, and it was far more effective to make the boss feel at ease than to let the boss feel at ease. Bill's office is not big. Hong Jun came in and walked to the window, overlooking the vast green space in front of the building, feeling more comfortable. Bill put the computer bag on the desk and said unnaturally: "Jim, you can sit wherever you want." Hong Jun turned around, originally wanted to sit on the sofa, but suddenly recalled how he felt when Wayne took his seat, and felt that it would be a good idea to have a magpie's nest now, so he walked to the seat behind the desk and sat down, Bill He didn't mind, it seemed to be a matter of course, he scrambled at the front desk to prepare the tea, and sat down on the small stool opposite the writing desk. Hong Jun stared at Bill for a few seconds, and said straight to the point: "Bill, I am here this time to discuss your work arrangement with you." Hearing this, Bill's face immediately became the same color as the tea in the glass, he hissed lightly, and said nothing.Hong Jun said gently: "You are an old man from Vizier, and you have been in the circle for a longer time. There are many hardware companies in South China, and relatively few software companies, especially compared to our high-end application software. There are even fewer in Beijing and Shanghai, and there are only a handful of people with your experience and qualifications, and talents are rare." These words sounded like a eulogy to Bill, but the despair in his heart made him straighten his neck and say, "Just say what you have to say." Hong Jun smiled generously and said: "It seems that you still have opinions and emotions about me, but we all have to face the reality. The company's structure has been set. We can either accept it or reject it, but there is no need to do it." Something against your will. As I said just now, you are a rare talent. It is much easier for you to find a new job than it is for me to find a new person. Therefore, I hope you stay in Vizier, and I hope you can play a greater role , what do you mean?" Bill's astonishment was written all over his face, but he immediately reminded himself that this might be Hong Jun's trap, and the humiliation would follow, so he still didn't buy it: "I have some opinions on you... " Hong Jun immediately interrupted him: "Bill, I'm not here to talk to you today, I'm here to talk to you about work, you can leave your personal opinions on me for later, if you have any opinions on the company structure, feel free to raise them. " Bill didn't know Hong Jun's intentions, so he replied vaguely: "I have no opinion on the company structure." "I have some ideas, let me tell you. Last year, we divided the territory vertically by industry. When Wayne came back, he reverted to the horizontal division by region. Comparing the two, I feel that the two are biased and should be more comprehensive. A few. The regional characteristics of southern China are obvious, relatively closed, and geographically far away from other regions. It is not convenient for salesmen in charge of a certain industry in Beijing and Shanghai to go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen to do projects, and it is also difficult for salespeople based in Guangzhou to go to the north. It is difficult, and the sales cost has increased a lot, which is not conducive to rapid local response. Therefore, I think it is necessary to divide the three provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian as a region while retaining the industry division and focusing on industry customers. More specifically Speaking of you, you have experience in both sales and team management, and it was a bit of a waste of talent to only let you be a technical manager and lead presales last year, I would like to ask you to manage the three provinces in South China at the same time, what do you think?" Bill was stunned, and couldn't believe his ears. Could it be that he was going to be reused again?And Hong Jun continued to elaborate on his idea: "I have invited Larry back to the company, and I want him to be in charge of all sales in Beijing and Shanghai, divided by four major industries, but not involving the three provinces in South China. But there is a problem, you There may be a conflict of interest if you hold two positions, will you only care about your private land and give priority to presales on your South China project?" Bill said reflexively: "Jim, don't worry, I won't do that." "Hehe, your determination alone won't reassure me, and I don't believe in anyone's awareness." Hong Jun said, "I will make a fuss about your assessment indicators, restrict you through mechanisms, and make you more efficient in allocating resources." Consider the interests of the whole company first.” Bill is still dubious up to this moment, Hong Jun's behavior is beyond his expectation, it was Hong Jun who dismissed his "South China King" nearly a year ago, now not only did he not kick him out of the company, but instead made him a "double boss". "Crown King", technology and South China unified management are becoming more and more important.In fact, Hong Jun today is quite different from Hong Jun a year ago. This time, his comeback has made his foundation stronger and his prestige higher. Bill asked apprehensively, "Do you really think I'm competent for so many jobs? You...don't hold any grudges against me?" Hong Jun said sincerely: "At least now I think you can do it, let's do it first, I will fully support you, if there are any problems in the future, I will adjust according to the situation. As for you and me personally, to be honest, you are recruiting enough. Hate, I didn’t understand at the beginning, I was not mean to you, how could you be so proud when I was frustrated? Then I thought about it, there is no hatred for no reason in the world, and the manager of the Guangzhou area that you did well was transferred by me to manage technology , It is understandable to have emotions. That's why I let you continue to manage South China, and at the same time lead the technical team for me, so that I can relax. If I hate you, both of us will be tired, why bother?" Hong Jun said it easily, but it was not easy to make this decision. On the plane, he deliberately took out a notepad and wrote a paragraph, and then forced himself to read it over and over again until he was sure that he could smile naturally when he saw Bill. Woke up, and just now when he was about to inform Bill of his new appointment, he recited it silently in his mind. The passage was written like this: "For a nation, forgetting the past means betrayal; for a person, the past betrayal Better to forget." Bill sat blankly, thinking that Hong Jun's words made sense both emotionally and rationally, but if he didn't know how to flatter him, it would be unreasonable. Thinking of this, he felt a little moved in his heart, and felt that he should show something. Then he stood up from the small stool, stretched out his hands to hold Hong Jun's hand, shook it, his face turned red and purple, but he didn't say anything. Hong Jun was also touched. He pressed Bill's shoulder to let him sit down, took a sip of tea to calm himself down, and said, "Come back to business, the first quarter will be over soon, we all rely on numbers, how about it? Let’s talk about the project in general.” Bill was still undecided, and reported several items like a running account in a trance. Hong Jun was obviously dissatisfied, so he restrained himself and asked, "Bill, have you met all these clients in person?" Bill suddenly became embarrassed, and he hesitated: "Uh...a few of them have been to see, and some have only been to their sales." "This is not acceptable. No matter how high our positions are, we are still salesmen," Hong Jun said in a stern tone, "You must never sit in the office and wait for sales to sign the order back! You are a front-line team leader, so you must go there in person.见客户，凡是快要close的单子，不仅是你，我也要去见，这样才能保证最后关头把握住。” 比尔红着脸，忙说：“那……我马上让他们联系一下第一资源广东公司吧，那个项目听说挺大的……” “是NOMA工程吗？”洪钧打断比尔，不容置疑地说，“我不能去，你也不能去，你的sales目前能做的最多是和他们保持私下联系，没有我的同意，不可以和第一资源广东公司有任何公开接触，也包括广西公司和福建公司，这不是个单一的项目，等我先做好总部的工作、确定整体战略后再说。”洪钧把不明所以的比尔撂在一旁，忽然自言自语道：“这是一出大戏，这么大的戏只能有一个导演，好戏该开场了……”
