Although Chang Lingyu is now the well-deserved number one female singer in the domestic music scene, she is nothing in the world music scene.
For most non-English-speaking countries, it can be said to be the wish of countless singers to release an English album in an English-speaking country, especially the United States.
It's a pity that either you don't have suitable songs, or your English is bad enough, and the other is that your reputation is not top-notch in your country. It's a complete joke if you want to make an album of English songs. At most, it will be in the country.
Add one or two English songs to your album of native songs to enjoy.
It is almost impossible to achieve success in a country like the United States with English songs. It can be said that few people have succeeded so far.
At least in the Tang Dynasty, no singer has made a name for himself in the United States.
Now perhaps Chen Feng is the first singer to make some achievements in an English-speaking country like the United States, because his song "Love the Way You Lie" due to him and Tina won the first place on the B chart, and it has been on the top of the list consecutively.
It was the number one for 9 weeks before it began to decline, but it has still been in the top ten for more than three months now.
However, this song cannot be regarded as Chen Feng's personal work, because of the fame of Tina, the queen. Therefore, many people automatically ignore Chen Feng, the co-singer. Especially in European and American countries, the United States and the United States
This is especially true in China. Many times, when they introduce the song, they will only say that it is "Love the Way You Lie" by Tina, and will not add Chen Feng as the co-singer.
Even here in Tang State, many people think that Chen Feng took Tina's ride. In addition, most people now don't understand rap music very well, or even don't accept it, so it's irrelevant. So.
, on the contrary, they all feel that Chen Feng’s rap part in this song is just average. The highlight is Tina’s chorus part.
Many people even think that the rap part that Chen Feng is responsible for is not good to listen to. It is not singing but talking nonsense.
This shows that Chen Feng and rap are not welcomed by the public. It is only among some rap and hip-hop audiences in the United States that they know that Chen Feng's rap is exciting, good-sounding and exciting.
Now Chen Feng has released his own album of English songs. Except for Li Manyu who has blind trust in Chen Feng, others present are pessimistic about whether his album will be successful.
They all agree with most people. They all think that the biggest credit for "Love the Way You Lie" is so popular is Tina, not Chen Feng. At least in the singing part, Chen Feng really doesn't have much good singing skills.
They obviously don't know that Chen Feng now has proficient singing skills. Otherwise, he would not be confident that he could perform those classic English songs of the original time and space.
Chang Lingyu has no objection to Chen Feng's suggestion that she release a single first. In fact, she thinks so too. After all, she plans to release English songs in the United States, not in China. She still has this self-awareness.
of.
"I don't have a problem. The main thing is when will there be an English song that suits me? How about I try to cover it?"
Chang Lingyu's attitude is still relatively low-key.
"Cover, especially those classic songs? It is difficult to surpass the original. If you don't do it well, you will be ridiculed and ridiculed. What's more, no matter what you say, we are still the queen of the Tang national anthem. If we want to enter the international music scene, we must use original songs.
. You must have the right cards. Don’t worry. After I test the water over there this time, I will create a song tailor-made for you."
"Thank you, boss." Chang Lingyu said with a smile on her face. "No matter what the results of my song are then, I will accept it calmly. After all, this is a useful attempt for us Tang people to enter the world music scene."
Li Manyu encouraged her confidently: "Sister Yu? Don't you know who our boss is? He has previously composed songs for Tina, Tiffany, and that Blainey? Which one scored?
Bad. So? The songs he gives you will definitely bring you good results."
Li Yixue then said: "I also believe this. The songs written by the boss are really good. Boss, I also want to sing English songs? When do you think you will arrange for me to go to the United States to develop?"
"Now you should first stabilize your position in the domestic music scene. You used to be a little pop queen. Don't worry about singing English songs and going to the United States to develop. At least for the next two or three years? Your basic base is still in the country.
? Rather than abroad."
"Okay, okay. You are the boss and you have the final say."
Li Yixue is honest.
Everyone had a happier time at this party, and chatted more happily. More importantly, everyone who came to the party had something to gain.
Hu Fei was promised to be the male lead in Chen Feng's costume drama; Liu Qinfei was promised to be the female lead in a Hollywood movie next year, as was Maggie Lee.
Chang Lingyu also got a promise to help her release an English single. In the end, Li Yixue didn't seem to get much benefit, but Chen Feng also promised to take her to Hollywood for development in the future, and would pay attention to whether there is a suitable person in Hollywood.
Her movie role. This benefit is also very real.
A party where both guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
The next day, Chen Feng set off for the United States. The first thing he did was not to care about the release of his new album. Instead, he went to Fremont to care about the manufacturing and operation status of Shengtang Technology.
Although he had been in contact with his assistant Ye Meilin these days to learn about the situation of Shengtang Technology, he had not seen it with his own eyes. Therefore, he came over to take a look as soon as possible.
After he, the chairman, came over, the first thing he did was to immediately check various data reports, including those provided by the finance department and the sales department.
After that, he also listened to the work report of President Charson, who was still in the probation period. He had done a relatively good job during his time in office, at least he had coordinated and integrated the various departments of the newly established company.
Of course, his assistant Ye Meilin also gave Charlson a lot of help.
Now Shengtang Technology is running well and its manufacturing, production and sales are going well, and Charson is the biggest contributor.
After that, Chen Feng also listened to Ye Meilin's work report. The main content of her report was the current working status of various departments of the company, involving the specific persons in charge. Evaluating their work performance in the past two months,
If it is unqualified, it must be eliminated or replaced as soon as possible.
In terms of the company's personnel management, Chen Feng will never be merciful. Of course, he will not directly decide life or death. Unless the other party makes mistakes at work, is passive at work, or is really incompetent, Chen Feng will consider it.
He fired. Otherwise, they would definitely have to be given one or two chances.
Ye Meilin pointed out several middle- and high-level cadres who performed poorly at work or were derelict in their duties. The highest-ranking among them was a deputy director of the sales department. He was mainly responsible for mobile phone marketing in Europe. According to Ye Meilin's assessment, this
The deputy minister's marketing ability is average.
With Android phones now becoming popular all over the world, it took him more than a month to open up some opportunities in Europe. And they were concentrated in Western European countries, Nordic countries, and Eastern European countries where commerce is more developed and the market is easier to open.
The marketing team established by the deputy minister has not made any progress yet.
In Ye Meilin's opinion, this is dereliction of duty. Of course, Ye Meilin also said that this is related to the fact that the current production volume of Android phones is not very high.
But in her opinion, this is not the main point. The most important thing is that the deputy minister’s marketing enthusiasm is not high. In other words, he has no intention to explore other European markets except Western Europe.
In addition to the deputy minister, there are four other middle-level cadres who, in Ye Meilin's view, are also incompetent at their jobs.
One of them was responsible for parts procurement. During a purchase, a batch of parts failed to meet standards. This was a serious dereliction of duty. This middle-level cadre did not do quality control before the parts were put into storage.
Another one is suspected of sexual harassment in the workplace. The other two are not very motivated at work.
The main job of Ye Meilin, the assistant, is to help Chen Feng monitor the entire company, which she does quite well.
Therefore, after she reported her work content, Chen Feng began to talk to these problematic cadres alone. The first thing he wanted to talk about was the deputy director of the sales department. However, he was far away in Europe now, so Chen Feng could only
Ask Ye Meilin to make an appointment with him to have a video chat with him.
The other four middle-level cadres were all in the company, and Chen Feng called them to his office one by one to talk.
It could be seen that these people were a little guilty and nervous when he found them alone.
Although Chairman Chen Feng is still young, there is no doubt that he has already booked his place on the world's richest list. Not to mention, he directly controls their current job. If it is a company like this that is booming now, the market assessment value has been as high as 100
They were really unwilling to be fired from a billion-dollar company.
Fortunately, the chairman, Chen Feng, only gave them an admonishment talk, including the supervisor in charge of purchasing parts. Chen Feng only verbally criticized him. Of course, he had already had half a month's salary deducted.
for punishment.
Finally, Chen Feng had a video call with the deputy director of sales in Europe. Chen Feng listened to his work report in Europe and his marketing ideas. In his opinion, the European mobile phone market is mainly concentrated in
Western Europe is the most economically developed and densely populated region in Europe, and has the greatest demand for mobile phones.
Therefore, as long as the market is opened here, the rest of Northern Europe and Eastern Europe will naturally open up. At that time, as long as the mobile phone production is sufficient, he can lead his team to directly distribute the goods, and there will be no difficulty in promoting it.
His marketing strategy seems to be correct, but as Ye Meilin said, his progress is too slow. Technology is changing with each passing day. Although there are only two types of smartphones, Android and iPhone, who knows if there will be a third model.
.And to be sure, there are already many smartphones currently under development.
Moreover, the Android company receives many authorization applications from all over the world every day. It cannot withstand the pressure and may authorize earlier. Therefore, sales must be fast.
Therefore, Chen Feng did not listen to his sales philosophy. Chen Feng just rudely demanded that he must fully open the entire European market within the next month. If he failed to do so, he would be fired.
As a boss, Chen Feng doesn't listen to big principles. He just wants to see the sales results he wants to see. If this subordinate can't do it, of course he can only let him go and find someone else who can do it.
Generally speaking, Chen Feng is relatively tolerant of the deputy minister. Originally, according to Ye Meilin's suggestion, it was best to remove him immediately and replace him with another person. She has already helped Chen Feng find a replacement.
.
However, although Chen Feng was tolerant to them, his words of admonishment still had a big shock within the company.
What's more, Chen Feng had already given these people a verbal warning during the admonishment talk. If they could not improve in the next job evaluation, only dismissal letters would be waiting for them.
Therefore, Chen Feng, the chairman, is still very intimidating. With him in charge of the company, the work atmosphere has improved significantly compared to before. Everyone walks faster and shows that they work hard.
.
However, everyone knows that their work attitude cannot be maintained for a long time.
Of course, it is still necessary to carry out necessary healthy competition and cycles within the company. Therefore, after discussing with Ye Meilin and Charson, Chen Feng decided to implement a personnel promotion system within the company. It is a system based on working age and age.
According to the work contribution scoring system, those with high scores can get better benefits and even better positions. On the contrary, if the scores are low, they can only receive average pay. If the scores are too low, they will be fired.
Of course, this system must be managed with the help of computers. For this reason, Chen Feng, the chairman who is proficient in computers, personally wrote this personnel management system.
Its quality is no worse than those companies that specialize in EPR, and is even very consistent with the situation of Shengtang Technology.
Chen Feng first sent this system to Ye Meilin for trial use. Of course, he also started to trial it himself. Specific personnel information can be directly imported in batches.
To rate each person, there is naturally a set of reasonable algorithms for specific calculations. Currently, only Chairman Chen Feng has the authority to make manual changes.
In the future, when this system matures, Chen Feng will consider further decentralizing the authority of this personnel system. The personnel department will definitely have to open up some authority, and then there will be President Charson and Ye Meilin, the assistant to the chairman.
Of course, the highest authority belongs only to Chen Feng himself.
Chen Feng stayed at the company for six days, and his main achievement was to design and compile an exclusive personnel management system for Shengtang Technology, and implement comprehensive automated and digital management of the company's internal personnel.
In the future, there will be data that can be checked and relied on for job promotions and salary increases and decreases within the company. This is of great significance to the long-term and healthy development of the company in the future.
