Reinventing the Millennium

December 25th is a good day.

This is not only due to Yike's slight integration of Dazhong Electrical Appliances, but also because Fang Zhuo, the Rockets owner, finally got the team coach he wanted.

Fang Zhuo last contacted Nelson, the current coach of the Mavericks. After a period of consideration, the other party felt that the court training of "Great Wall of the East" Yao Ming was an interesting challenge and was willing to coach the Rockets.

Nelson resigned from the Mavericks, and the Rockets dismissed Van Gundy, who only ranked fourth in the Western Conference this season. The team's head coach rigidly insisted on positional warfare and rigidly asked Yao Ming to continue to gain weight, which failed to inspire the three powerful players. chemical reaction.

The two parties fully took into account the feelings of the Mavericks owner and decided to sign a three-year contract after the Christmas All-Star Game, allowing the Rockets to change the way they play in the second half of the season.

Compared to Van Gundy, Fang Zhuo has strong confidence in coach Nelson, known as the "mad scientist", and believes that he can lead the team with the current lineup to achieve better results.

In order to effectively express trust, he, the team owner, released part of the team's operating rights to Nelson, which is also one of the basis for the other party's willingness to come over.

The Mavericks lost starting point guard Nash and did not fully consider the opinions of head coach Nelson. This was an important reason for the breakdown of trust between the team and the coach. Fang Zhuo now allows the two to renew their relationship, which is also a key factor in successfully poaching each other.

Therefore, when Fang Zhuo called Ni Runfeng to have supper with him and contacted Zhang Xuebin, he was in a very happy mood. People are always willing to do what they are good at. Now it is time to bring the vice president of Skyworth to the level where he has experience.

"Hi, Mr. Ni, hello."

Zhang Xuebin received a call from Ni Runfeng, the head of Changhong, after finishing the high-level meeting hosted by Mr. Huang. He didn't want to answer the number when he saw the number, but he pressed the answer button by mistake.

"Mr. Zhang, this is Fang Zhuo. Today I was talking to Lao Ni about the development of home appliance companies, and I just want to hear your thoughts. It may be a bit presumptuous, but I hope you don't mind."

A cheerful voice that was very different from the head of Changhong came over the phone. Zhang Xuebin was surprised by the other party's self-identity.

The mastermind behind the scenes!

The culprit of everything!

The villain Fang Zhuo!

Of course, this is how the Hong Kong media writes. Zhang Xuebin has inevitably read relevant reports here recently. I have also seen him respond to all accusations with laughter, and I feel that this unexpected statement is inexplicably suitable for his identity.

Zhang Xuebin was silent for a few seconds and said into the phone: "Good evening, Mr. Fang. I feel like there is nothing to talk about between us."

"Is it because everyone says that I led the competition between TCL, Konka and other companies against Skyworth, or is it because Mr. Huang, who was released on bail, also said that I caused his current situation?" Fang Zhuo said with a relaxed smile.

Zhang Xuebin was silent again.

What Mr. Fang said is exactly what the Xiangjiang media wrote.

But as a senior executive of the party concerned, Zhang Xuebin knew that there were too many exaggerations. Companies such as TCL, Konka, and Changhong were fiercely competitive competitors. If it were him, he would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to gain more market share. .

Business competition is too normal.

This time, Mr. Fang inexplicably became the protagonist in the Xiangjiang media. This situation also made Zhang Xuebin feel very strange. He could only attribute it to "because he is Mr. Fang, so he is treated this way."

Fang Zhuo saw no response on the phone and did not hang up. He said to himself: "Actually, this call is not an impromptu call. Lao Ni and I are good friends. He thinks highly of you and thinks you are a member of Skyworth." The key player in today’s situation.”

"Moreover, Meiling has a new vice president of marketing named Zhang Miao. He is in the capital now and has expressed his sincere admiration for your old boss."

"Exactly, I thought I should talk to you."

Zhang Xuebin felt that these were the other party's reasons, not the reason why he had to accept "chat".

However, Fang Zhuo's words after a two-second pause made his heart skip a beat.

"After all, Lao Ni's age has been put here."

Zhang Xuebin held the phone in his right hand, poured a cup of herbal tea with his left hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Fang, what do you mean?"

Fang Zhuo said more bluntly: "Changhong needs a capable successor. Lao Ni and I agreed that we can find a suitable role in advance. Only in this way can Changhong, which is undergoing strategic transformation, develop smoothly and not give up halfway. .”

"Changhong gave up plasma and fully switched to LCD TVs, which faced a lot of pressure and challenges."

"This is a heavy responsibility, and we need a capable and determined successor."

"Mr. Zhang, are you such a person?"

The next head of Changhong.

The leader of the domestic home appliance industry.

Different from Skyworth's family-style management, Changhong seems to need a professional manager even though it also has various factions.

Zhang Xuebin had already communicated with Ni Runfeng twice before. He had heard him talk about Meiling and Skyworth's family problems, but this was the first time he heard about Changhong's future leadership plan.

Moreover, such a succession plan actually came from an outsider.

At the very least, he is definitely an outsider to Changhong, and I have never heard of Mr. Fang holding Changhong’s stocks.

Zhang Xuebin felt ridiculous in his heart, but the other party called him through Ni Runfeng's mobile phone, which in itself seemed to indicate something.

He was a little confused. Even if Mr. Fang had money and energy, why did he have such a profound influence on Changhong?

"Mr. Fang, what you said is really surprising." Zhang Xuebin didn't know how to express his emotions and gave a relatively neutral answer.

"Is it sincerity that surprises you?" Fang Zhuo asked with a smile.

Zhang Xuebin: "..."

He decided to tell the truth: "Mr. Fang, I find it hard to believe that we can discuss the choice of the next leader of Changhong like this. Instead of discussing this, we might as well talk about the development of the home appliance company you just mentioned."

"Okay, very good, this is also one of the purposes of my call." Fang Zhuo simply pressed the voice button on the phone again, handed it to Ni Runfeng, and said, "Let Lao Ni talk to you."

Ni Runfeng was startled, let himself talk?

Zhang Xuebin was also startled, were they really talking like this?

The two stunned people chatted strangely on their mobile phones about the development of the company and industry.

This proposition is relatively big, but one is the chairman who has worked in Changhong for decades, and the other is the vice president who created Skyworth's great situation. Their perspectives and insights can be communicated on the same frequency.

Fang Zhuo listened to the discussion while eating supper, and was very interested.

While chatting, Ni Runfeng talked about the situation Changhong was facing now, and Zhang Xuebin gave his own opinions while chatting.

Then, the two of them were silent for a while, feeling that this kind of communication was really strange.

Fang Zhuo took a sip of juice, reached out to take the phone, and called the vice president of Skyworth again: "Mr. Zhang, no wonder Lao Ni thinks so highly of you. You are really capable despite your reputation."

Zhang Xuebin was not in a high mood, but since the other party was Mr. Fang, he was still a little happy.

Fang Zhuo praised again: "Lao Ni said that looking at the home appliance industry, there are only a few people who have the ability to come to Changhong to take charge of the overall situation."

Zhang Xuebin couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. Fang, Mr. Ni, you are all ridiculous."

"To be honest, Mr. Zhang, there are many factions in Changhong, and there are also many administrative factors involved, so we need a tough professional manager." Fang Zhuo talked eloquently, "But when it comes to this position, it is not the boss and I. Ni can finish it in just a few sentences, I have to make this clear in advance, and we can’t make a big picture out of nothing.”

"So, the general manager position of Luzhou Meiling is a test. It is now a subsidiary of Changhong Holdings and is far away from the base camp of Sichuan Province. The current focus is to complete Changhong's LCD strategy."

To put it simply, the position of general manager is King Meiling, the prince who is favored by the current head of Changhong. If the prince wants to ascend the throne, he must achieve results.

Once he can achieve results, Ni Runfeng will support him, and Fang Zhuo is also willing to use resources to help Meiling Wang further take charge of Changhong.

This is a relatively solid design. The direct descendants trained during the period of General Manager Meiling can connect with the Changhong parent company relatively smoothly, and will not cause the embarrassing situation of airborne professional managers being sidelined.

Zhang Xuebin thought in his mind and unconsciously evaluated the intentions and sincerity of Mr. Fang and Mr. Ni's phone calls this time.

This assessment, hey, is really sincere.

"Where's Zhang Miao? He is Mr. Zhang's old subordinate. There is also Zhou Qian who is also seriously considering our invitation. I don't know what's going on. Both of them seem unhappy at Skyworth." Fang Zhuo started chatting again. Situation, "If Mr. Zhang is willing to come, he can immediately use familiar people to do familiar things."

Zhang Xuebin was shocked, Zhou Qian was leaving too?

I don’t know this news yet…

But Zhang Miao's promotion was rejected, and it was not surprising that Zhou Qian was in the same situation.

"I don't know how the Huang family of Skyworth will arrange the next few years, and I don't know how many more years Mr. Zhang can stay at Skyworth." Fang Zhuo said, "Mr. Zhang is willing to come, and both Changhong and Meiling will welcome you."

"I'm sure the same is true for other businesses."

"However, I don't know how many more years Lao Ni can stay in Changhong. We all hope that Changhong can have a good successor when we are influential."

After Fang Zhuo said this, he stayed for a few seconds to wait for Zhang Xuebin's response.

However, Zhang Xuebin remained silent.

"Mr. Zhang, please think about it again. If you have any questions about your position and remuneration, you are welcome to communicate with us at any time." Fang Zhuo was not obsessed with hearing the statement now.

"Well...Mr. Fang." Zhang Xuebin didn't know how to finish.

Say thank you, it seems that you are very moved, but don't say it, it seems inappropriate for a villain like Mr. Fang to have such a heart-to-heart talk with me.

"Okay, hang up. I hope we have a chance to chat in person." Fang Zhuo didn't hesitate when he heard the voice and ended the call on his own initiative.

Zhang Xuebin slowly exhaled, put down his cell phone, and drank the herbal tea he poured before.

My restless heart calmed down a little.

He shook his head, stood up, took a pen, and briefly wrote the contents of this phone conversation on the paper.

Mr. Fang, Mr. Ni, Meiling, Changhong, Strategy, LCD, and Future.

Zhang Xuebin's pen tip paused on the paper and continued writing.

Skyworth, Mr. Huang, Mrs. Huang, board of directors, personnel, checks and balances.

Zhang Xuebin stared at the key points on the paper, his thoughts turning, and his imagination running wild.

The next day, he finished handling some matters in the company office and called his capable subordinate Zhou Qian into the office.

"Zhou Qian, it's my responsibility not to be promoted this time."

"Mr. Zhang, stop talking. I have made up my mind and plan to go to Meiling to join Zhang Miao." Zhou Qian was very direct and seemed to know what Mr. Zhang was looking for.

Zhang Xuebin was silent for a while.

Zhou Qian looked at her boss, waiting for him to persuade her to stay.

Zhang Xuebin's eyes were a little erratic, but he still didn't speak.

"Mr. Zhang, you, uh." Zhou Qian stopped what she wanted to ask and held back for a while, "Mr. Zhang, will you come with us?"

"Ah?" Zhang Xuebin was stunned.

"Mr. Zhang, you are so capable. If you are willing to go, you will definitely have a higher position than us. With Mr. Zhang protecting us, we have nothing to fear." Zhou Qian said.

Zhang Xuebin didn't say anything, but his heart moved, yes, what if Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhou were bullied after they went there?

It's not that I want to change jobs together, but I'm afraid that my old subordinates will be bullied by the new boss.

Zhang Xuebin shook off his thoughts with a wry smile and sighed: "Zhou Qian, if you leave two days late, I will pay you your salary and bonus before you leave."

"Hey, can Zhang Miao's be sent too?" Zhou Qian asked.

Zhang Xuebin shook his head. Lin Weiping was extremely angry and stuck on this.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know what Meiling said? If Skyworth doesn't deliver, they will make up for it." Zhou Qian said with a smile.

"You must be willing to pay the price for poaching people." Zhang Xuebin sighed.

"Such a price makes people feel comfortable, but our own company makes people feel chilled." Zhou Qian asked, "Mr. Zhang, if you were me, how would you choose?"

Zhang Xuebin waved his hand: "Let's stop talking here. What should be sent to you will still be sent to you."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, take care." Zhou Qian stood up quickly.

There was only one person left in the office.

Zhang Xuebin turned the pen in his hand, thinking about urging Zhou Qian's salary and bonus in the past two days.

However, in the afternoon, Zhou Qian resigned and went straight to the mainland.

In addition to herself, she also took away part of the team.

Zhang Xuebin smiled bitterly when he received such news. Compared with Zhang Miao being alone, Zhou Qian's behavior was really in line with her character.

Not surprisingly, he received a reprimanding call from Lin Weiping in the evening.

But soon, he received a comforting call from Mr. Huang, saying that to stabilize the mood of the Skyworth brothers and sisters, even employees who decided to leave would not have their wages and bonuses deducted.

Zhang Xuebin responded calmly. Mr. Huang must be more aware of the problem than his wife, but he might not be able to communicate smoothly with the boss face to face for several years.

Obviously, the head wife Lin Weiping will play an important role in the company in the future. She is executing Mr. Huang's will, but this process will almost certainly be deformed.

Zhang Xuebin has a certain tendency in his heart, but Skyworth is facing a crisis during the golden period of the Spring Festival, and as the vice president, he cannot leave now.

It’s time to fight, it’s time to compete, and you should seek your own policies in your position.

Mr. Huang is now out on bail. The overall situation of the group is still directly affected by him. He only needs to fulfill his duties as a vice president.
