Still, Wait For Me

Chapter 280: Mutual sincerity in crisis and response

Views:

The day before the meeting, Xu Tingsheng explained several things to Lu Zhixin carefully in advance.

The next day, Hucheng's first such a serious meeting, the scale can be considered "grand". Xu Tingsheng, Lu Zhixin, Fang Cheng, Fang Yuqing, Lao Wai and Li Linlin, the six shareholders, together with Hucheng's executives and middle managers, nearly twenty people attended the meeting.

The training school just vacated an empty classroom not long ago, and arranged a special conference room and long tables, which looked decent.

Xu Tingsheng came not too early or too late, the first time he entered the door, he was a little surprised to find that there was a chair behind his seat, and a little girl was sitting there.

I said she was a little girl, but I looked at it from the eyes of an uncle. Actually, she should be a few years older than Xu Tingsheng. She looked like she had graduated from college and worked for a year or two. She was wearing a dark professional suit, strict hairstyle and standard hair style. smile.

The meeting hadn't started yet, and the girl was clattering and typing with her laptop in her arms.

Seeing how fast her fingers are flying, Xu Tingsheng suddenly wanted to give her a suggestion: You have this typing speed, don't go to work, go home early and write online articles, come to a domineering president or something, change 30,000 a day, after you She is a god, and she is still a god of beauty.

While there was still some time, Xu Tingsheng asked Lu Zhixin for a question.

Lu Zhixin said calmly: "The assistant I found for you with a high salary, graduated from a famous university, worked in a foreign company for half a year, and was harassed by foreign bosses to resign, and worked in Hucheng for more than two months. He has good qualities in all aspects. I just got promoted. How about it, are you satisfied?"

assistant? It's actually the secretary, right? This...beautiful secretary...professional suit, stockings and high heels, black-rimmed glasses...it's very evocative when you think about it. Xu Tingsheng has heard a lot about it, and he has seen many related plots when watching small movies in the dormitory...Finally, it's time to pass Have you lived this corrupt happy life? This, just looking at it and not eating it is also an enjoyment!

Xu Tingsheng looked at Lu Zhixin, suppressed his thoughts, and calmed down a bit, "A trap, it must be a trap."

Thinking of this, Xu Tingsheng smiled wryly, and pretended to be calm and said, "Zhixin, don't be kidding, you have to be the assistant. What's the use of me fishing for three days and drying the net for two days? Is it for showing off?" ?”

"Putting the show is also a need," Lu Zhixin said, "The key point is that after you told me about those things yesterday, I found that you usually do more things than I imagined, and then you have complicated things to do next, and I'm afraid your energy will be scattered. It’s better for someone to help.”

"The girl in question is young and good-looking, don't worry?" Xu Tingsheng half-jokingly said with ulterior fantasies.

"There's nothing to worry about. Aren't you... If you're with me, you'll lock it up? ... Lock it up."

Lu Zhixin replied, chewing those two words again after speaking.

It just so happened that Lao Wei entered the door at this time, glanced at it, and shouted: "I think people are almost here, here, do you want to lock the door?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Zhixin turned her head and glared at him angrily, staring so crookedly that she couldn't figure it out, so she had to give up resentfully. Except for Xu Tingsheng, no one knows that the word "anti-lock" has been very sensitive and disgusting to Mr. Lu recently.

"Come on, let me introduce you. Tang Yufei, a talent that Hucheng has worked so hard to poach, temporarily wronged to serve as Mr. Xu's assistant. By the way, Sister Yufei is a senior in my middle school and high school. We are good friends. "

Lu Zhixin called the person over and gave a brief introduction.

"... What a daydream, how corrupt?!" Xu Tingsheng understood, no wonder Lu Zhixin wasn't worried, this was her man.

Just planting spies around Xu Tingsheng openly and aboveboard, and killing them first and playing them later, after Lu Zhixin got rid of the abnormal state, she really remained domineering.

Moreover, after the previous incident, she seemed to have made up her mind and executed it quickly and resolutely.

Xu Tingsheng greeted Tang Yufei, who had the potential to be a charming female secretary, wept silently in his heart, smiled calmly on his face, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You should still work in the company as usual, and help Zhixin more when you have time." , she is busy. If I really need to trouble you, I will come to you. "

The meeting officially begins.

After Lu Zhixin finished her opening remarks, she didn't continue. This surprised the executives and middle-level managers present. In the usual sincere meetings, Lu Zhixin almost always played the leading role, and sometimes Xu Tingsheng didn't even show up.

To be honest, it's not that these people haven't met Xu Tingsheng, and it's not that they haven't communicated with him, but when it comes to knowing Xu Tingsheng, they really know very little. Compared to Lu Zhixin's shrewdness and ability, everyone felt that their boss really looked like a twenty-year-old "kid", a college student.

If Hucheng's salary wasn't really high, the future would look bright, and Lu Zhixin's convincing performance, at the level of executives and middle managers, few people would dare to stay here... It feels too unreliable .

Just when everyone was waiting for Xu Tingsheng to speak, waiting to see the "real side" of his boss, Xu Tingsheng took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and turned on the speaker.

The phone connects.

Xu Tingsheng laughed and scolded at the first moment: "Senior, you are not kind! You stabbed the knife as soon as you turned around."

On the other side of the phone, Zhang Xingke said without embarrassment at all: "I knew you would definitely come to Xingshi to inquire about your crimes. Come, scold, and when you feel comfortable scolding, let's talk about brotherhood."

Xu Tingsheng said: "Fuck off, you've been stabbed like a knife, the brotherhood is long gone. I don't have any teachers in Shenghai School here. Especially the two famous teachers who were the main publicity a while ago, they went to you when they were about to enroll. It's like doing publicity for you for free. You have to give me an explanation, right?"

Zhang Xingke laughed a few times, and said: "The situation is like this now. The Shenghai education and training market is already highly competitive. If you want to come in to disrupt the situation, and the Hucheng platform dominates the battle, you will be regarded as the number one enemy here. So, The major training schools in Shenghai have joined forces to suppress you, the dragon who is crossing the river.

In this case, which side do you think I stand on? With my strength, in order to avoid being affected by Chi Yu, I must stand on their side, right? "

"Things without loyalty, you are the one who will be destroyed without me standing against them. Continue." Xu Tingsheng said angrily.

"Yes, yes, so I have to thank you first," Zhang Xingke continued with a playful smile, "However, if I don't dig out these famous local teachers in your school, they will. , let me strengthen my strength, and hand in the votes to win their trust. When the time is right, our two brothers will cooperate internally and externally, and join hands to kill them by surprise.

Knowing each other well, Zhang Xingke was blatantly hypocritical and shameless.

But at least, what he said was true. That's what Xu Tingsheng wanted. After listening to the useful part, he didn't intend to continue listening to his nonsense, so he hung up the phone and turned off the phone.

Then, looking at the group of people in front of him with a smile, he said, "Sheng Hai's situation is like this now, what should I do?"

"Add money to poach people back?"

"Famous teachers from Diaoyan Prefecture go up?"

"Suppress them on platform recruitment?"

After a moment's hesitation, the middle managers put forward their opinions one by one. Xu Tingsheng smiled and nodded, taking notes. Then continue to look forward to everyone on the scene.

"Admit defeat and postpone enrollment."

A sudden opinion appeared.

A puzzled look focused.

The person who spoke was Wu Tong, female, 37 years old, a capable professional woman who came back to Yanzhou from other places for her children, and joined Hucheng after several hesitation. She is one of the two executives promoted by Hucheng after "demoting" the old crooked couple some time ago.

Facing a questioning look, Wu Tong continued calmly:

"Admit defeat and postpone enrollment. This is my opinion. Let's wait for their honeymoon period to pass, including the honeymoon period between training schools, as well as the honeymoon period between famous teachers and training schools. The chain reaction must be huge, and all kinds of contradictions will gradually become prominent.

So, we wait. Without a common enemy, their honeymoon period will not be too long. In the future, if we don't need to dig, someone will take the initiative to come over. "

"Sister Tong, continue talking." Xu Tingsheng said.

"I... no more, we have to wait, or find another way. As for what to do to find another way, I was just promoted not long ago, and I don't know what conditions and preparations Mr. Xu has, so I can't give specific suggestions."

Just when many people were muttering to themselves, Wu Tong said nothing.

Xu Tingsheng pushed a folder along the table and said, "I have a clear understanding, accurate judgment, and the most important point is that it is rare to be able to admit that we can't help it. Therefore, I will trouble Sister Tong about the Shenghai Training School." .I will go over when the official admissions are made."

When receiving the folder, Wu Tong felt that he had dug a hole for himself, "Didn't I say there is no way?"

However, when she opened the folder and flipped through a few pages, her whole expression instantly relaxed, and she responded with a smile: "President Xu, don't worry."

Xu Tingsheng used this incident to tell the middle and senior management of Hucheng present one thing: I prefer the truth to the forced and unrealistic hard work, and I can listen to the truth.

This is to cultivate the atmosphere of mutual sincerity.

And that folder made people curious, "Boss and Wu Tong seem very sure."

"Next, the second topic," Xu Tingsheng continued, "Actually, it is more appropriate to say that the notification is more appropriate. The Hucheng Education Platform will soon return to free services, two-way free. Of course, we will continue to sell teaching materials."

"What, the agency fee is so much money, isn't it profitable?"

The shareholder Fang Cheng said something distressed.

Xu Tingsheng glanced at her, turned to the others and said:

"Everyone ignore her, she doesn't understand the situation at all. In the current situation, two platforms of the same type have already started trial operation. They have been comfortable for so long, and competitors finally came. It is free and well-funded. Drag us to death, and then consider profitability. Therefore, our first step must be to return to free, which does not work with any strategy, because for users, only money is the most practical.”

"Then will we be dragged to death?" Fang Cheng asked again worriedly regardless of being discriminated against just now.

"Yes, if there is no new profit point, we will definitely be dragged to death. They are now storing up a full warehouse of grain to concentrate on consuming it with us. We are different. We have a weak foundation, so we can only cultivate wasteland while consuming it. Live, and in turn drag them to death."

After finishing speaking, Xu Tingsheng opened a PPT, pointed to the projection wall behind him, and said, "This is my wasteland reclamation plan. It is attached to the platform and aimed at a similar target group. I named it 'Hungry!' '."

"Takeaway?" Fang Yuqing glanced at it and said directly.

"Yes, it's takeaway. We Hucheng have the closest relationship with college students, and I don't need to talk about the relationship between college students and takeaway, right?" Xu Tingsheng replied.

"I know this. We haven't been to the cafeteria since the sophomore year in our dormitory," Fang Yuqing said. "The problem is called takeaway, and they come just by calling. Why do people use us?"

"More choices, pictures and texts, point discounts and review mechanisms. Now most of the cities we cover are economically developed, and dormitories and families generally have no shortage of computers, right? And with the help of the platform's own user base, we can save a lot of resources in publicity and promotion. This matter is currently difficult to do, but it is definitely worth doing.”

The era of smartphones has not yet arrived, so Xu Tingsheng didn't dare to set his expectations too high. After he finished speaking, seeing no one questioned him, he continued directly:

"President Lu is in charge of this matter. The two supervisors, Fu Xinyuan and Wang Tuo, will make specific arrangements for the implementation. Sincerely, everyone in all departments except Sister Tong will cooperate. In fact, this matter can be regarded as a benefit for everyone. Go out and eat , drinking, playing, free team formation, and falling in love by the way... Reimbursement of expenses... My only request is that you guys bring me back an exclusive cooperation agreement.

Note that this is our only chance to get merchants to sign exclusive agreements. Once there is competition in the future, we will never have such an opportunity again. Therefore, more concessions can be given, but the agreement must be exclusive, and the cost of breaching the contract must be high, the longer the period, the better, let us... bind them to death. "

When Xu Tingsheng said this, he was in the same state as he was speaking about the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in his previous life. The impassioned, confident, and sincere middle and high-level executives were all feeling sorry for seeing the other side of their young boss for the first time. with.

Then, the phone rang.

Before the meeting started, Lu Zhixin emphasized that everyone turned off their phones. Xu Tingsheng's cell phone was also turned off after calling Zhang Xingke, in front of everyone.

so…

Lu Zhixin looked around with a straight face. Everyone checked their phones nervously. Wherever Lu Zhixin looked, there was a response, "It's not me", "It's not me"...

Lu Zhixin looked at Xu Tingsheng, Xu Tingsheng thought to himself, "What are you looking at? I'm shutting down... no..."

Xu Tingsheng turned off his phone just now, but he still has a mobile phone that never turns off. When the cell phone rang... Xu Tingsheng jumped up without any image, rushed to the bag he had put on the table at the side of the meeting room earlier, and frantically dug out the cell phone...

Then, his expression became brilliant.

"Excuse me, I have a call."

Ignoring Lu Zhixin's murderous gaze, Xu Tingsheng went out quickly and said with a stern face, "The next meeting will be chaired by President Lu. You guys go ahead and don't worry about me."

His expression was tense, flustered, and eager. It looked like a little boy who had never been in a relationship received a call from his sweetheart for the first time, and then he couldn't care about anything...

The boss image that "President Xu" had just established in the minds of the employees collapsed in an instant.

Fortunately, Mr. "Iron Face" Lu was very calm, and continued the meeting calmly as if nothing happened.

"I forgot one more thing." Xu Tingsheng, who had just left the door, turned back and opened the door, poked his head in and said, "It's a pity not to say the last sentence I planned. In the future, I will take you to NASDAQ to ring the bell."

This sentence, if he continues his previous aura until the end, and speaks out, it will definitely inspire people and boost morale...

But now, everyone just thinks... ouch, my head is so big... my boss is too unreliable.
