"Xiao Zhou, have you basically finished reporting on the situation there?" Xu Zhibin, the executive deputy general manager who had attended the groundbreaking ceremony in Seoul before, asked Zhou Jing.
"Yes, Mr. Xu, the basic situation is like this." Zhou Jing closed the folder in front of him and said seriously.
"Well, you don't need to attend the following meeting. The resolution will be sent to you later. But don't leave in a hurry. Come to my office and wait for me. I have something to talk to you about."
Xu Zhibin unexpectedly asked to talk to Zhou Jing alone for a while, which made Zhou Jing confused about the leader's intention. However, the leader's instructions must be implemented anyway, so Zhou Jing packed up his things.
He left the meeting room.
The general manager's office meeting did not last long. After waiting for about an hour, Xu Zhibin returned to the office. Seeing this, Zhou Jing quickly stood up from the sofa, but Xu Zhibin smiled and motioned for him to sit down.
"Mr. Xu, is there anything missing in my report?" Zhou Jing asked Xu Zhibin with some confusion.
"It's not because of this, don't be nervous, I have some other things I want to talk to you about." Xu Zhibin also sat down on the sofa, took out the Baoru Zhonghua, unpacked it, and handed a cigarette to Zhou Jing. At the same time, he also
After lighting a cigarette, he said to Zhou Jing.
"Xiao Zhou, I have been to South Korea for more than two months. I want to know what the Koreans think of our project, especially what it looks like in the eyes of ordinary local people."
As soon as Zhou Jing lit up his cigarette, he was confused by Xu Zhibin's question. He had never considered this question before, so he didn't know how to answer it. After thinking for a long time, he had to honestly tell his answer.
"Mr. Xu, to be honest, I can only say that I don't know about this issue. We usually never think about it from this perspective."
"Haha... Xiao Zhou, I told you not to be nervous. It's normal that you haven't considered this issue. After all, you were all doing projects in China before." At this point, Xu Zhibin put away his smile and said with some seriousness, "But
It’s different now. Your project is our Sansteel’s largest overseas investment project so far. You have to consider some issues.”
Seeing that Zhou Jing was still confused, Xu Zhibin began to patiently explain to Zhou Jing his original intention and thinking in asking this question.
It turned out that CCTV had broadcast a documentary called "Loser and Winner" a few years ago. This documentary won several international documentary awards in 2007. Xu Zhibin was very touched after watching it.
This documentary tells what happened in the Ruhr Industrial Zone in Dortmund, Germany. There was one of the most advanced coking plants in the world. It was put into operation for only eight years before it was stopped due to industrial restructuring. In the end, it was almost sold at the price of scrap steel.
All technology patents were packaged and sold to a Chinese company.
Two German directors followed approximately 400 Chinese workers throughout the process, which took two years to dismantle the entire coking plant and transport it to China, which was shortened by half the time estimated by German engineers.
The film records in detail the down-to-earth, hard-working and enterprising spirit of Chinese workers. Although there were various differences due to different concepts during the cooperation with German engineers, the Chinese workers always tried their best to solve the difficulties and race against time.
Finally, all work tasks were successfully completed.
For the first time, this documentary has shown the mental outlook and professional attitude of contemporary Chinese workers in a panoramic and positive manner. Once it was broadcast, it triggered discussions in the entire German society. It can be said to be a very good positive propaganda for Chinese enterprises.
So Xu Zhibin has been thinking about this issue recently, how to do a good job in the company's overseas investment projects and promote the fine features of contemporary Chinese enterprises, so that good projects can not only benefit the local area but also win a good reputation.
"Mr. Xu, I can understand what you said, but this subject is really too big, and we don't have the conditions to do it like them." Zhou Jing understood what Xu Zhibin wanted to express, but he didn't understand the relationship between this question and
What's the use of talking about it?
"You must pay great attention to this issue. There was a conflict with local people on site last time. You cannot look at this incident in isolation. This shows that we have not done a good job in publicity work. The local people do not understand the impact of our project on the local economy and employment.
The benefits." Xu Zhibin picked up his thermos cup and took a sip of water before continuing:
"I think you should have the conditions to solve this problem. No, to be precise, it is you, Xiao Zhou, who has the conditions to solve this problem."
"Me? Mr. Xu, I don't quite understand what you mean." Zhou Jing really didn't quite understand what Xu Zhibin said, and didn't understand how he could have the conditions to deal with such a problem.
"Haha... Xiao Zhou, I heard that you have developed some connections in South Korea in the past two months, and you have even made contact with their cultural circles. I am not wrong." Facing Zhou Jing,
Xu Zhibin said with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, I..." Xu Zhibin's words made Zhou Jing break out in a cold sweat. Just when he wanted to explain, he was interrupted by Xu Zhibin's wave of his hand.
"You don't need to explain more. We all understand the matter. I am not criticizing you now, but reminding you what to do." Xu Zhibin sent another cigarette to Zhou Jing, and then continued to explain.
"We also need to look at the problem dialectically. As far as I know, you should have had contact with that SM company. Don't think that they have nothing to do with our industry. To do publicity, you cannot do without public opinion."
"Have you never thought of using this opportunity and platform to do some positive publicity for our company? You must know that such public opinion conditions are very rare."
Zhou Jing didn’t expect Xu Zhibin to say such a thing. He already knew that SM was using him to promote hype. This was one of the reasons why he didn’t want to contact Crystal recently, but Xu Zhibin’s words seemed to open the door for him.
Opened a new window, the leader is the leader, it seems that his own structure is a bit small.
"Mr. Xu, I understand what you mean, but I still don't know how to do it." Zhou Jing thought for a long time and felt that the idea was good, but he still had no idea how to operate it.
"This is a long-term task. You don't have to rush to give the answer. You can see how to do it in detail, but the premise is that you can't violate the principles and touch the bottom line. I'll leave this to you. You are young and have a flexible mind. The previous few things
If things are handled well, just go ahead and do it boldly. If you are unsure about something, please report it directly to me. I have confidence in you." Xu Zhibin patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder and said.
"I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Xu. I will do my best." Since the leader has said so, Zhou Jing must find a way to try it.
"Okay, I have confidence in you, and I have something else to ask you." Xu Zhibin nodded with satisfaction at Zhou Jing's statement, and then asked a new question, "Have you ever thought about the long-term
