After the New Year, Wang Guomin made an uneasy decision, packed up his things and prepared to go to Shanhai to perform his duties. He graduated from Southwest University of Science and Technology and worked at Chengdu Lifa Company after graduation. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications organized a training class in Chengdu a few years ago. In the class, he met Bao Yinong from Fulun Company and told him about Fulun, which was now booming in Shanhai, a corner of the southwest.
Wang Guomin graduated from a prestigious university and joined Lifa Company. He still remembers the first day when he called his parents in his hometown in the countryside to talk about the joy of joining a big company. But after that, he found that working in Lifa Company was not what he had imagined. This company, one of the top ten electronic equipment companies in Chengdu, was actually just mechanically casting a wide net to catch more fish. The job fairs that have been popular in schools in recent years are very popular, but the company is dead once you enter it. All R&D personnel take over outsourced work and have not formed their own system. Wang Guomin has worked there for three years and his salary has not been adjusted much. From the initial 1,500 yuan per month to the current 1,800 yuan, he wanted to make some achievements and applied to his superiors for product pre-research, but the reply was that the business evaluation did not have clear cases and evidence to succeed, so it was rejected.
It makes sense. A company like Lifa would not give you a R&D staff several months to develop a product that is not sure whether it will succeed or not, because they have their own tasks and do not need you to explore. Wang Guomin instinctively felt that this model would be problematic. Without a product that can stand on its own, a company will eventually become second-rate. He became more and more discouraged. At the telecommunications training class of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in Chengdu, he got along well with Bao Yinong and learned that a company in Shanhai City was thriving.
However, what finally impressed Wang Guomin was not the tolerant internal culture that Bao Yinong had talked about. Programmers can selectively participate in the development of various products according to their own expertise, or if you have an idea, you can apply for a project yourself and find like-minded programmers in the company's R&D department to "team up". Once a product is successfully developed, the company will give a reward of a percentage of its value.
In the end, what made Wang Guomin excited and willing to leave Chengdu and go to the mountains and seas was the starting salary of 3,000 yuan.
Wang Guomin was already tired of Lifa and was interested in Fulun's high salary. If it really didn't work out, he could work for a year or two, save up some money and then quit.
As a result, after Wang Guomin decided to go to Shanhai, Fulun Company sent someone to pick him up. The person was Bao Yinong, who had chatted with him in the training class of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. This made Wang Guomin a little flattered, as he had never received such treatment in Lifa.
As a result, Bao Yinong, who drove to pick up his luggage, told him not to rush back to Shanhai, but to go to another city, Anlong. Bao Yinong took Wang Guomin to a local hotel in Anlong City and went straight to a room on the 15th floor. The door of the room was open, and there was a strong smell of cigarettes. A large group of people were talking and laughing inside.
In the crowd, a tall, thin middle-aged man saw them and stood up from his chair. When he came over, everyone in the room stopped talking and looked at Wang Guomin curiously. The man stretched out his hand to him, "Are you Wang Guomin? I'm Cheng Feiyang!"
It was at this time that Bao Yinong revealed the answer, "Mr. Cheng has read your "PBX Queuing Machine Function Description" before, and he insisted that I bring you to meet you in person!"
Cheng Feiyang smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to go to Shanhai Company to perform your duties directly, but instead sent you to Anlong City. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble... I was very happy to hear that you wanted to join..."
Wang Guomin had never expected that the man in front of him was Mr. Cheng, the boss of Fulong Company. Although he knew that he would definitely be valued, it was the first time for Wang Guomin to be received and treated by the boss before he even started his job.
"Why is Mr. Cheng in Anlong? Is there a project here?" Wang Guomin had a big question.
Bao Yinong said, "Isn't there a Beituo production plant in Anlong City? The vice president of the plant intended to come to Fulong, but Beituo called the local police station to arrest our people, and General Manager Cheng came to rescue them... I am lucky. I poached you and was able to get away with it..."
Cheng Feiyang had just celebrated the Chinese New Year when a salesman who was in contact with the deputy general manager of a branch of Anlong and Beituo of Fulun Company was arrested by Beituo. Cheng Feiyang came over to make arrangements and get the man out.
Wang Guomin weighed the pros and cons and said, "This matter itself involves competition issues. The other party's way of arresting people is not glorious. I believe Fulong has a lot of capable people who can handle this situation... Why does Mr. Cheng need to come in person?" The implication is that as the company's boss, Cheng Feiyang should be calm and at ease in the rear, and his time should be spent on macro aspects such as managing production and designing strategic development. Why does he have to deal with these things? Wang Guomin needs to understand this because he wants to determine whether Cheng Feiyang is a leader who does not know the overall situation.
The most taboo thing is for a company leader to put the cart before the horse.
Cheng Feiyang said, "We all know each other well about the brothers who were arrested. As a result, they encountered this kind of thing just after going to work this year. Moreover, it must be uncomfortable to be in the cold room and cold ground in the detention center. As the general manager, I have to pick them up personally. After all, those who can bring us talents are meritorious. We must let them know that I am the strongest backing for them behind the scenes... Xiao Wang, you can come and join us, I am very grateful... Fulong is short of people now. To keep up with R&D and become bigger and stronger, we need talents like you, R&D, sales, customer relations, logistics and production... We are so short of people."
Wang Guomin nodded. In just a short time of observing his words and expressions, he had already come to the conclusion that a leader like Cheng Feiyang was nostalgic and sentimental, but at the same time not pedantic. He personally asked about rescuing the salesperson who was sent to the police station by the competitor for poaching people. This style was actually a great deal of money, reflecting Fulong's emphasis on talents.
Compared with Wang Guomin's time in Lifa, there is a world of difference.
Cheng Feiyang added, "Xiao Wang, you graduated from Southwest University of Technology, which is a good school. How come you know some alumni? Anyone interested in this field is welcome in Fulong..."
Wang Guomin and Cheng Feiyang had a long talk and met with some of the company executives present. He heard that all of these people were discussing how to mobilize their own personal connections, find some experienced and skilled people in the industry to join, and at the same time recruit top students from universities, train personnel, and join related research and development.
Fulong is really short of people...
The salary offered is the highest in the southwest, so Wang Guomin has keenly sensed that Fulong's sales performance is actually very impressive. This can support their massive expansion of demand for talent.
The current demand for talent is actually a bit exaggerated just to sell switches to towns. It can only prove that Fulong Company's vision and goals are far more than that. This is a collection of ambitious dreams.
Wang Guomin thought of Cheng Feiyang who had read his article and wanted to meet him in person, so he tried to ask, "Is Fulong Company already developing a queuing machine?"
Queuing machines, also known as distribution equipment, are the most common part of telecommunications services. Simply put, they are devices that can transfer incoming calls to the desks of various agents, accept customer reservations, answer customer questions or enter customer information.
Cheng Feiyang nodded, not intending to hide anything, and told the truth, "We are planning to enter this market. We have some technical reserves before, but the queuing machine is still immature. So after you take office, I plan to let you lead this project and develop our queuing machine."
Wang Guomin was stunned and said, "Mr. Cheng, do you know that the company with the largest market share in the domestic queuing machine market is Shangtong? They are the main supplier of large telecom queuing machines and a long-established multinational company that has been used in many countries around the world for many years. They are stable and of high quality. This area is a solid block and no one can get in!"
"It may seem so at first glance, but it's not true." Cheng Feiyang said, "We will have a battle with Shangtong. This battle will be fought sooner or later, so we have to prepare in advance. Shangtong is indeed of good quality and stability, but they are a multinational company. They have to import equipment and develop technology abroad. It is difficult for technical experts to respond to customers' requests immediately. Our technicians can come to the door as soon as they unpack and deal with the problem immediately. It will depend on you from now on. I need you to build Fulong's queuing machine product line and train a group of technical personnel who can be used in the battle. This year we will enter Chengdu and set up offices in 30 cities. At that time, we may need to mobilize your strength."
Cheng Feiyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep going, our goal is not just Chengdu, but to expand to the whole country! In the future, Fulong will make every one of our customers proud. I even want everyone in the country to be proud of using our products."
In Xichuan Province, they rely on infiltration into small towns and cities to squeeze out the domestic giant Beituo in Chengdu. At the same time, at the national telecommunications level, they dare to regard the international company Shangtong as their opponent at the slightest disagreement, and even have a premeditated plan to confront the opponent on the queuing machine.
Wang Guomin felt that Cheng Feiyang, who was preparing for these two wars at the same time, was really an amazing madman.
