Then Zhang Yida held a banquet at a high-end restaurant near the seaside in Jakarta, and met with Chinese employees above the supervisor level of RPay. There were not many people at the banquet, only a dozen people in total.
Zhang Yida sat at the head of the table, with rows of young Chinese employees sitting on both sides of the long table, some with technical positions and some with operational positions.
Indonesia has been colonized by the Dutch for hundreds of years, and many lifestyles, including restaurants, have been Europeanized. The decoration and furnishings of high-end restaurants are very similar to those in Europe.
Zhang Yida stood up, picked up a tall glass filled with red wine, and said to everyone from a distance: "Come on, I'd like to toast you all with this glass. You all traveled across the ocean and came to work in Indonesia. You have worked hard over the past six months."
All the management, including Anping, stood up one after another, picked up their wine glasses, and responded to Zhang Yida with a smile:
"Mr. Zhang, it's not hard work. Indonesia has blue sky and white clouds, and there are seafood to eat. My colleagues in China are very envious."
"Yes, I can see RPay grow from scratch. These experiences are enough for me to brag about my skills for a lifetime."
"We would also like to thank Mr. Zhang for providing us with such a good platform, allowing us to express our ambitions."
The Chinese management of RPay present all flattered him. They were really grateful to Zhang Yida.
In their opinion, working in Indonesia is really fun.
Regardless of the fact that the salary is higher than that in China, prices are low in Indonesia, so I am considered a high-income earner there.
This feels similar to the foreign employees sent by foreign companies to China in the 1990s. Through the exchange rate and commodity prices, they enjoyed a super luxurious life.
In China, they are social animals; in Indonesia, they rent a villa on the beach for parties on weekends, and then find a group of mixed-race young models and college students from Jakarta.
They would never dare to imagine this taste and life in China!
In addition, as RPay is a local standard foreign joint venture in Indonesia, the salary package is still very attractive to local people.
Because there were too many people to interview and the positions at RPay were limited, the admission threshold had to be raised, and batches of beautiful and highly educated ladies were recruited into the company.
Although the company does not allow employees to fall in love, facing beautiful things every day makes work more exciting, right?
Zhang Yida frowned as he watched several bald older programmers making lewd laughter.
When RPay was established, the group gave priority to single employees who were sent abroad to work for longer periods of time, and most of them were men.
According to Anping's private report, these losers seemed to have unlocked their seals when they arrived in Indonesia, and they were so wild.
Considering that the Indonesian people are unfamiliar with the place and the employees lack entertainment life, Anping turned a blind eye with a little restraint.
Zhang Yida thought about his words before speaking: "How do you arrange your weekends?"
As soon as Zhang Yida finished speaking, the banquet hall, which had been noisy just now, immediately fell silent. Everyone was silent, and some people secretly looked at Anping.
Anping secretly complained that Mr. Zhang was putting himself on the fire, and they would definitely resent him for ruining their "happy and happy" life.
Zhang Yida said with a cold face: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't be involved in your private life on weekends. But there is a saying, it's called "Playing with things makes one lose one's ambition."
RPay has just made some achievements. If you start living on your merits, in the words of Brother Qiangdong: You are not worthy of being my brother.
Everyone within the company knows that expatriates have high salaries, and it is easy to make contributions and obtain high-value options.
If anyone doesn't want to do it, or can't do it well, there are many people in China who want to take your place.
I just have one request: don’t let your personal life affect your work status.
RPay’s goal is to be the overlord of mobile payments in Southeast Asia, but where is this?”
Zhang Yida turned to look at Anping again and said: "Employee assessment must be taken seriously. At work, everyone must be strict with themselves.
If something goes wrong, whether you have wages deducted or bonuses deducted for performance, don't be merciful and stick to it strictly.
Those who refuse to correct themselves despite repeated admonitions and make repeated mistakes will be asked to pack up their bags and leave."
After training the people, Zhang Yida began to give sweet dates again. He said in a slow tone:
"Our generation shoulders the great mission of rejuvenating the Chinese nation. Think about it, how many large-scale Internet companies are going global now?
Apart from Ahri and Penguin, we are the only ones.
Why are foreign goods rampant in our country? It’s because our economy and technology are backward.
But mobile payment is different. It is one of the few technological applications that we are in the leading position in the world.
Can we not make good use of such a good opportunity to express our Chinese voice to the world?
Southeast Asia is just the first stop for overseas travel. I have already settled on Japan, South Korea, and India. In the future, I will also visit Africa, South America, and even Europe and North America.
I am willing to provide such a broad stage for people with great ambitions to show their ambitions.
However, mediocre people will never be able to break through class stereotypes and spend their lives submissively.
That’s all I have to say, please do your own thing.”
All the male employees present lowered their heads in shame. The eyes of the two female employees were so bright that they almost applauded Zhang Yida.
The company is so big, and the dirty things done by male colleagues have already reached their ears.
When they think about it, you are not a rich and successful person like Mr. Zhang. You are just a working man at home, but you have grown so much after going abroad.
Seeing the awkward situation, Anping quickly came out to smooth things over and said, "You understand what Mr. Zhang said! You must maintain your working status well. As long as you perform well, the company has no shortage of promotion channels and a platform to display your talents."
Zhang Yida acquiesced to Anping's He Xini. After all, most of the employees were singles. It would be strange if they could control them in the colorful world.
But Zhang Yida doesn't want the company to form such a bad atmosphere, which will definitely affect the working atmosphere of the entire company.
Therefore, it is necessary to control the degree well, neither to let employees lack entertainment methods to relieve stress, nor to let employees be too unrestrained, which reduces work efficiency and delays the development of RPay.
However, Zhang Yida would not say this clearly and could only let employees make their own decisions.
All the management members were immersed in their meals in silence, not daring to say a word.
To them, a table full of expensive seafood is like chewing wax and tasteless.
After the meal, all the management returned to the company, and Zhang Yida left Anping alone.
"Mr. Zhang, what's going on?" Anping felt a little uneasy.
"Sit." Zhang Yida pointed to the seat next to him.
After Anping sat down, Zhang Yida said to him: "I don't have much to say. You have done a good job during this period and I am very satisfied."
Anping's back felt cold and cold sweat broke out on his head. The more Zhang Yida said this, the more uneasy he became.
"Hey." Zhang Yida smiled, and then said: "Don't be nervous. To be honest, the private lives of the employees below are not easy to control. I don't mean to blame you.
What I mean is that you must be careful not to let them go too far, but also not to be too strict, and focus on the work status and performance of each of them."
Hearing Xiange and knowing its elegant meaning, Anping understood Zhang Yida's meaning and assured him: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, your work will not be delayed.
If anyone loses his chain, I will sacrifice him with a flag."
Zhang Yida looked at him with a look of relief and said, "Come on, I'll leave the responsibility of RPay to you."
Anping looked flattered and said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your trust. I will not let you down."
…
Zhang Yida met Huang Zhiyuan, the second generation head of Sinar Mas Group, at Huang's Manor.
This old man graduated from the Mathematics and Mechanics major of Beijing University in 1968. He can be regarded as Zhang Yida's old senior, and he is also an honorary doctor of Beijing University.
Huang Zhiyuan enthusiastically took Zhang Yida's hand and praised: "Yida, we are in Indonesia, why don't you come and sit at the old senior's house!"
Zhang Yida laughed "haha" and said: "I have heard of the old senior's name a long time ago. There were many things along the way and I was delayed. Wouldn't I come to disturb you now?"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yida winked at Huang Xiwen who was standing aside, who smiled bitterly and said: "We all have our own opinions."
Huang Xiwen is the youngest son of Huang Zhiyuan, and he is a full round older than Zhang Yida.
Huang Zhiyuan asked Zhang Yida to sit down, and asked the servant to serve several cups of hot tea. He said with emotion: "Yida, I am sincerely happy to see that the motherland has produced such an outstanding young hero as you!"
Zhang Yida said humbly: "The old senior is so complimentary, I still need to keep working hard."
Compared with Lippo Group, Sinar Mas Group has invested much more in China. It owns more than 20 wholly-owned or controlled pulp and paper companies and nearly 20 forestry companies in China, with total assets of more than 170 billion yuan.
While boosting China's economy, Sinar Mas Group has also done a lot of charity work in China. For example, during the snowstorm and earthquake in 2008, it donated tens of millions of yuan each.
In China, the cumulative donation has exceeded 1.1 billion yuan, and it was once rated as the overseas Chinese business enterprise that has donated the most in China.
Sinar Mas Group has also been awarded the title of "The Most Caring Foreign-Funded Enterprise" by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the "China Charity Award".
Therefore, Zhang Yida also sincerely admires him and Sinar Mas Group.
Huang Zhiyuan added: "Xiwen has also established a P2P company called Danamas. In terms of Internet finance, you should cooperate more!"
Zhang Yida nodded and said: "Xiwen and I also chatted very well, RPay company, didn't we reach a cooperation?"
"That's good." Huang Zhiyuan turned to look at Huang Xiwen and said, "In the future, I should get closer to Yida and learn more from them."
Huang Xiwen still obeyed his father's words. After all, he was in his thirties and relatively mature. He smiled at Zhang Yida and said: "Yida, if you have any good projects in the future, please call me."
"This is natural." Zhang Yida said.
"Yida, I heard that Lippo Group invested US$100 million in your Ruixiang Phase III Industrial Fund?" Huang Zhiyuan asked with a smile.
