Chapter 9 Chapter 6 "Budget and Scheduling"

Howard, President of DB China Hermen, Chinese name is He Haode. During his tenure, DB China's performance has grown steadily. The contribution of the Chinese market has aroused great interest from the US headquarters, and CEO George Gates decided to visit China again. This is a crucial event for the future of He Haode. If the CEO is optimistic about the Chinese market, he will definitely push the board of directors to make a decision to speed up the investment process of DB in China. DB China will obtain more abundant resources, thereby impacting a better market achievement. He Haode is ambitious to make DB the industry's No. 1 in the Chinese market during his term of office.

He issued a series of orders to prepare for the CEO's visit to China. All of a sudden, preparations for the "pick-up" became the top priority of all departments. In the "pick-up" project, the administration department, which has always been low-key and relatively unimportant, has an important task, which is to complete the inspection before the CEO comes to China. The decoration of the Shanghai office where the DB China headquarters is located. After receiving the order, Liszt asked Rose how much budget he needed to prepare. Rose said 4.5 million. Liszt reported to He Haode and the VP in charge of finance, peter K, whose Chinese name is Ke Bide, that they needed to prepare about 4.5 million.

He Haode asked Liszt, "How long will it take you to complete this project?" Liszt forwarded the question to Rose, and Rose said, "Six months." Liszt followed what he learned and said to He Haode: "Six months." He Haode said happily: "OK, just 6 months." When Liszt went to Guangzhou for a meeting, he suddenly thought of something, made a questionnaire, and asked Lala: "If you were to do this decoration project in Shanghai, how much budget would you apply for?" Lala pondered for a while, and said in a positive tone: "7.5 million."

Liszt was taken aback and quickly asked, "What is the basis?" Lala analyzed clearly: "The current decoration of the Shanghai office is the design style of 5 years ago. It is estimated that the new design style of this decoration will change a lot, and most of the partitions will have to be redone. Most of the furniture in the Shanghai office has been used for 8 years, which is long past the depreciation period, and the switch system has been used for 10 years, which greatly exceeds the service life recommended by the supplier. The system is very likely to have problems-in this way, furniture and switches need to be updated; the current area is 4,500 square meters, and then a lease is signed, usually for a period of 2 to 3 years. According to my understanding, DB’s business in China is in a state of There is an obvious upward trend. Considering the trend in the next 2 to 3 years, it is more likely to add 10% more area to the existing area, that is, the total area will reach about 5,000 square meters. Based on the above items, the cost per square meter The theoretical price will reach about 1,500 yuan, and the total budget should be around 7.5 million.”

Listening to Lala's detailed analysis, Liszt broke out in a cold sweat and secretly complained. He stabilized his mind and asked again: "Then how long do you think it will take to complete this project?" Lala said expertly: "According to DB's operating procedures, the real estate department of the US headquarters will be deeply involved in such projects. For such a large project in Shanghai, it cannot be approved just by obtaining the approval of the Asia-Pacific region. In the end, the project needs It is reported to the real estate department of the US headquarters for approval, and many departments are involved in the process, such as the legal affairs department, procurement department, IT department, and finance department, which makes the coordination time very long. Under normal circumstances, the U.S. The suggestion of the headquarters is to complete the entire decoration project in 9 months, of which the time for the project itself should be about 3 months, and the time for the analysis and coordination in the early stage of the project should be about 6 months."

On the one hand, Liszt was making rapid progress, and on the other hand, he decided to talk to Rose as soon as he returned to Shanghai.He knew that Lala's words were probably correct, not only because of the expression of an honest scalper written on her face, but also because her words were obviously simple and reasonable, with professional power. Liszt knew in his heart that Lala's professional level, at least at this stage, would not be higher than Rose's. For such a major renovation project, such a key point, since Lala can understand the big budget and long schedule, Rose has no reason to do it. wrong.So, did Rose do it on purpose?What is she asking for?Or, did she simply not want to do it?Otherwise, it cannot be explained.

Liszt thought, it seems that if you don't give Rose what she wants, the matter will be suspended.At the moment, he made up his mind to satisfy Rose. As soon as Liszt returned to Shanghai, he couldn't wait to summon Rose. As soon as Rose stepped into the room, Liszt said with a smile on his face: "Hi, Rose! I have a good news for you (rose, there is good news)! Horward has just approved your promotion (promotion). You will be promoted from assistant administrative manager to administrative manager. This is the company's recognition of your professionalism and contribution. Congratulations! "

Rose was overjoyed and said, "Ah, thank you!" Liszt went on to say: "You deserve it (you deserve it)! The announcement (announcement) is ready, and I will announce it to the entire staff today.I wish you and your team continued hard work and great success. " "Sure!" Rose assured Liszt said with a smile again: "Your salary will increase by 30% from this month." Rose thanked again and again.
