Ye Chen pretended to be shocked and slapped Liu Xiao on the back, "I knew you would agree! From now on, I am your big brother!"
"It's not Mr. Ye..."
"What's not?
How about you become my big brother?"
"Mr. Ye..." Liu Xiao was about to cry, "What on earth are you going to do?
You don't want to poach me, do you?
Let me tell you the bottom line, it’s impossible, I’m doing a good job here and I really have no intention of changing jobs.”
"Job hopping?
Where did you think you were going!"
Ye Chen slapped the other person on the shoulder suddenly and said, "I just think you are more attractive to me, so I want to get to know you. Those rumors spread outside are all false, don't believe it!"
When Liu Xiao heard this, he said helplessly: "Okay, we have gotten to know each other now, that's it, we will keep in touch in the future!"
"Wait a minute, let's talk for a while!"
"What are you talking about?"
"It's still about you at Skyworth. Think about it carefully, do you have a future in the jobs you are doing now?
The structure of state-owned enterprises is just like that. If you don’t have any background and connections, your position will basically end.”
"No, Mr. Zhao promised me that he would recommend me as above. When he goes down, the position of general manager will be mine."
Liu Xiao said honestly.
When Ye Chen heard this, he looked disdainful: "Do you believe this kind of nonsense?
How old is Zhao Mingfu now?
At fifty years old, it will take at least ten years for him to retire! Let’s not talk about whether someone more capable than you will come up in these ten years. Are you just going to have to wait for ten years?
Can you afford to wait?"
"Even if you can afford to wait?
But is this necessary?
With your ability, where can you go without being able to control the wind and rain?
Wouldn’t it be easy to earn a salary that is five or six times that of today?
Just wait ten years for a general manager?
How much is a general manager worth?"
Liu Xiao fell silent. He did not deny that what Ye Chen said was right, but some things were not that simple.
"Mr. Ye, there are some things that really cannot be compared to money!"
"I know, you're just referring to the connections and social status that come with becoming the general manager of Skyworth! But again, what's the use of that sentence?
What do you need these connections for?”
"Being an official?
I guess you haven’t thought about joining politics yet! Will it help your children go to prestigious schools?
If you have money, you can't go to Harvard and Cambridge casually?
Tell me, is this true?"
Liu Xiao was stunned now, the other party's words hit his heart directly.
What is the use of connections?
All he can think about is to facilitate the development of his descendants.
But the problem is that under the absolute pressure of money, this connection seems to be really unimportant!
The so-called development is also about money!
Moreover, connections are unstable, but money is real!
Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Also, if I'm not a brother, I'm telling you, does that Zhao Mingfu look like a good person?
Obviously not! If he really valued you, he would have promoted you long ago, but why has he promoted you to the position of marketing director now? "
"Why?"
Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment.
"Because there is no one around him! Think about it, has Skyworth left a lot of senior executives during this period?
Most of them come to Brilliance Electronics!"
"All the previous elites have left, and I have no choice but to bring you up now. Do you understand?
But what's the problem?
The problem is that Skyworth is a state-owned enterprise, and the source of talents for state-owned enterprises is very broad. All the efficient and talented students are directly assigned to them. In two or three years, Skyworth will be able to train a group of management talents. At that time, will there still be a shortage of people? "
"Think about it for yourself, will you still be able to maintain absolute competitiveness when that time comes?
Brother, I’m not looking down on you, but this is the truth, right?
In ten years, if there is no guarantee, some genius manager will emerge, like me."
"So, now that Zhao Mingfu is saying that he will recommend you to be the general manager in the future, it is just a delaying tactic. He is holding you back until a suitable candidate is found, and it is not impossible to kick you away!"
Liu Xiao was stunned after hearing these words!
He had never thought about the problem from this perspective, but Ye Chen brought it up at this time, which made him feel refreshed!
Thinking of all the recent events, such as the resignation of several core Skyworth managers, his sudden promotion, and Zhao Mingfu's sudden attention to him, it seems that they all confirm Ye Chen's words.
For a moment, Liu Xiao suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Ye Chen looked at the other party and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Whether what I said makes sense is a big question whether your position as the head of the marketing department can be stable in the future!"
"If nothing else, do you have to leave a way out for yourself?"
"Think about your wife, children, and elderly parents. If you step down from this position, will your income still be able to support your family's expenses?"
"If your child fails to get into a good university in the future, can you afford to send him to study abroad?"
"Brother, there is a way out, a way out, a way out! Let me tell you important things three times!"
After a series of words, Liu Xiao could no longer hold back any longer.
He felt that Ye Chen was right. If he couldn't keep his current position in the future, his income would be reduced, and it would be hard for his family to support him, what would be the point of talking about connections?
I was completely carried away by Mr. Zhao's words before, and I only thought about the position of general manager. But as Ye Chen said, is the position of general manager so easy to get?
Can you really afford to bet on the variables that will change in ten years?
I can’t afford to gamble!
Thinking of this, Liu Xiao panicked a little. While scolding Mr. Zhao for not being honest enough, he didn't know what to do in the future.
At this time, Mr. Zhao came in from the toilet door and immediately saw the two people walking and chatting.
Liu Xiao had something in his mind, so he immediately picked up his pants in a panic and hurried out.
"What are you doing with my men?"
Mr. Zhao asked doubtfully.
"Let's chat in the toilet. What can we do? Mr. Zhao, don't be suspicious all the time!"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Mr. Ye, I know what you want to do. Don't you just want to poach Liu Xiao because he has some ability? Don't bother, it's impossible!"
"Look what you said, I am the chairman of a company after all, and I am not a headhunter, so that's not the case!"
Ye Chen said, patted the other party's shoulder and went out directly.
Mr. Zhao looked at the other party's back and sneered in his heart.
He knew that Ye Chen wanted to poach people, but he also knew very well that Liu Xiao would not be able to go.
He has already promised the position of general manager. If Liu Xiao leaves Skyworth and goes to a useless Brilliance Electronics at this time, it will be unless he has some serious brain disease.
Thinking about it, Mr. Zhao said to himself disdainfully: "I was not prepared before, but now you want to poach people from me, you are still a little green!"
