On the day when the headquarters of the former Sweet Orange Mobile Phone Company was demolished, Xingling Group and the Nantes Municipal Government held a joint press conference.
Xingling Group invested 500 million euros to establish Xingguang Mobile Phone Company in Nantes.
The Nantes city government announced that it would grant Starlight Mobile Phone Company a five-year tax-free preferential policy. This preferential policy surprised reporters at the scene.
Karl, as a representative of the municipal government, explained.
This preferential policy is not targeted at a particular enterprise. It is an investment promotion policy formulated by the city of Nantes last year and is targeted at all enterprises around the world.
As long as your investment amount in Nantes exceeds 300 million euros, you can enjoy this preferential policy.
According to the analysis report provided by the city government's analysis department, Xingling Group's investment will bring thousands of jobs to the city of Nantes and provide thousands of jobs to the entire France.
Meet the conditions for enjoying this preferential policy.
With such an explanation, the reporters' faces darkened, and a good hype point was gone.
Without Karl's explanation, articles about government-business collusion would have been published tomorrow, and they would have been hyped up, and the bonuses would have been huge.
After Carl finished speaking, Anderson, the general manager of Starlight Mobile Phone Company, began to speak, saying hello and my good words before announcing.
Starlight Mobile Company donated 5 million euros to the Nantes Poverty Alleviation Fund, hoping to help more people.
After this news was announced, everyone present applauded. No matter when you do charity, you will definitely gain people's favor.
Anderson is very talented and was selected by Gao Jin from seven outstanding talents.
Before coming here for the interview, Anderson served as vice president of BlackBerry. During this period, he proposed a number of reform plans, but they were all rejected by the president and the board of directors.
Frustrated, Anderson resigned.
Recently, Anderson was in contact with people from Apple. Because the two parties had not yet reached an agreement on salary issues, he was persuaded by Korn Ferry to come over for an interview.
I talked with Gao Jin and was convinced by Gao Jin.
The personnel of the Finance Department, the Legal Department, and the Security Department are dispatched by the headquarters. Anderson is responsible for recruiting the remaining personnel. Gao Jin does not intervene in the company's daily operations and management.
Only Anderson's profitability is assessed.
The most important thing is that Gao Jin's plan to promote Starlight mobile phones shocked Anderson.
After asking a few important questions, Anderson agreed to join Starlight Mobile.
After the press conference, Bernard's construction company blasted the original old building. After the blasting, the construction equipment started working, and truckloads of construction waste were loaded and hauled away.
According to the plan, the entire land will be cleared within two weeks. Xingling Group will provide design drawings within two weeks. Whether the project will be handed over to Bernard will be comprehensively evaluated at that time.
Gao Jin had a meal with Otheia and Karl, then left Nantes by plane and flew to Hamburg with Heidehir.
After a day of rest, we went to Nebula Technology Company to inspect and listen to the report from General Manager Mapel.
"Mabel, I will not approve your work plan." Gao Jin said this calmly, and Mapel was stunned.
"Boss, what aspect have I not considered?" Mapel asked in dissatisfaction.
"This report of yours has a fatal flaw"
"Nebula Technology's current products are very single, with only air-based water production. Let me ask you, what will happen if the air-based water production market is saturated?"
"I understand what you mean. The market will not be saturated in the next five to ten years."
"However, as the general manager, you must consider the long-term development of the company and how to enrich products."
"I didn't see any of this in your work plan."
"All I see is adding people, adding people, adding people. Tell me, does a project need so many people?"
"Also, what is your positioning of Nebula Technology Company?"
"As a general manager, you don't have a clear positioning of the company, the company's development strategy for the next few years, and no plan on how to enrich its products."
"Your current performance is that of a qualified marketing minister, not a qualified corporate general manager!"
Gao Jin said this with a straight face. Now the number of employees at the Nebula Technology Company headquarters has increased by more than 40 people compared to the last time he saw it. Mapel actually wants to increase the number of people.
What do you want to do, open the company into a charity?
Gao Jin really didn't expect that Mapel would make such a low-level mistake after not coming to inspect Nebula Technology Company for a year.
Listening to Gao Jin's scolding, Mapel frowned and wanted to open her mouth to refute several times, but in the end no words came out.
Gao Jin also had a headache at the moment. Gao Jin didn't need to worry about Claude. Claude was very qualified and was only responsible for the big aspects, leaving trivial matters to various departments.
With [Angel Capsule] selling like hot cakes, Claude has started the research and development of the second generation [Angel Capsule] and is also investing in the research and development of other products.
As a general manager, Gao Jin couldn't see the things that needed to be considered in Mapel, so he couldn't help but get angry directly.
"Go back and think about it carefully. Think about your current position, think about whether the current company structure is reasonable, and think about how many people in the company are currently doing nothing."
"Think about whether you have a long-term work plan for the development of the company."
"Go ahead"
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he waved his hand. Mapel frowned and left. Gao Jin rubbed his head.
At noon, Gao Jin had dinner with Haider Hill and Zachary and told the story. Heide Hill and Zachary did not persuade him to say anything.
Both of them knew very well that Mapel had neglected his duty.
At first, Zachary tried to persuade him a few words, but after being scolded by Mapel, Zachary stopped persuading him.
This time, Mapel was scolded by Gao Jin, which in Zackley's view was inevitable.
The huge sales of air-made water cups and equipment have made Mapel feel a little drifting, and she can't see herself clearly.
"Boss, Mapel is still capable. I believe she will wake up after this reprimand."
"If she's still not awake, I suggest you replace her with someone else."
"Nebula Technology Company is now on the right track. If it is reorganized by someone with strong management capabilities, it will create greater value."
Haider Hill said calmly to the side that he could say these things himself, but Zachary could not.
"It's up to her. If she can wake up, we will continue to play. If she can't change, let's get together and disperse."
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he raised his hand and drained the wine in the glass in one gulp.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Mapena drove straight back home without going. She didn't cook when she got home. She made a cup of coffee and sat in the living room alone without turning on the lights.
It was dark outside and I didn't notice it. I was frowning and thinking about what Gao Jin said. Suddenly, there was a "pop" and the lights were turned on, shaking Mapel to close her eyes.
Looking up, a middle-aged man stood at the door, "Why didn't you turn on the light? I thought you hadn't come back." The middle-aged man looked at Mapel and said.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something." Mapel said this with a tired breath.
The middle-aged man didn't care. He came over and sat next to Mapel and said with a smile, "Can you tell me about it? You know, the number of employees I manage is several times more than yours."
"If it's a work matter, I can definitely help you."
"Mark, I was reprimanded by the chairman today......................"
Mapel told Gao Jin's reprimand today truthfully, without hiding anything.
"Now the sales of air water cups and equipment are booming. It's time to bravely expand the market, but he said this to me"
"These things can be considered in a few years. He himself said that there is no need to worry about product sales in the next five to ten years. Why do you still say that to me?"
"I can't figure it out!"
Mapel was very angry inside. Mark rubbed his head after hearing this, not knowing how to explain this to Mapel.
"Do you believe the truth or lies?" Mark asked.
"Of course I want to hear the truth," Mapel said with a serious expression.
"Mabel, please calm down first."
Mark said something, and Marpel took a few deep breaths to calm down, looked at Mark, and signaled that Mark could speak now.
"In my opinion, it is not unfair at all for your chairman to reprimand you."
Hearing Mark's words, Mapel wanted to get angry. She looked at Mark and found that Mark was looking at her. She took a deep breath to suppress her anger and signaled Mark to continue.
"Your thinking is still stuck in the fact that you are in charge of the marketing department and have not been promoted to the position of general manager."
"As the general manager of a company, on the first day when a product becomes a hit, you must start preparing backup products to replace the current hit product."
"Air-based water production products are not petroleum and are not necessities for people's lives."
"Any product has its own cycle. Of course, people can extend the cycle of the product in many ways to maximize profits."
"Have you considered this?"
"Also, do you have a clear development plan for Nebula Technology Company? Do you have a clear positioning of the company's future position?............"
Mark began to analyze this matter with Mapel in detail, and cited many practical cases. Mapel began to take this matter seriously.
Especially the example Mark gave Nokia.
Before the emergence of smartphones, Nokia had basically dominated the global market, with its market share and sales surpassing the second place by several times.
As soon as the smartphone appeared, Nokia's empire collapsed.
The army was defeated and finally had to package and sell the mobile phone department.
The air-made water cup is unique now. Are you sure that a technology that will replace the air-made water cup will not suddenly appear in the future?
Once a new technology appears, the original old industry will be completely subverted. This is a crushing brought about by technology, and you have no power to fight back.
As a general manager, how would you respond to this situation?
Being a headless fly running around?
Mark's words were soft yet hard, and Dao Mapel couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.
"Get up and take a hot bath to clear your head from thinking about this matter." Mark gave a suggestion, and Mapel nodded and accepted Mark's suggestion.
Just as he stood up, Mark said again, "Do you need me to rub your back?".
After hearing this, Mapel smiled, took a step forward and came to Mark and said, "Mark, you are such an addictive bastard."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Mark hard, then took Mark's hand and went upstairs together.
