Chapter 77: Cultivation of Habit Formation
Chapter 77: Cultivation of Habit Formation (asking for monthly ticket)
Wharf International Airport, Ocean Terminal, is the headquarters of Wharf International Airport, the largest warehouse group in Hong Kong.
Every morning, the group’s minibuses would bring Wharf’s headquarters staff to the company from all directions. There are only a handful of companies in Hong Kong that can enjoy such treatment.
Wang Qiying is a supervisor in the administrative department of the Wharf Group, and her special responsibility is personnel recruitment.
On November 11, when she went to work as usual, her assistant had already placed a box of envelopes next to her desk.
"Manager Lan, you have more and more job applications." Another Wharf employee, who seemed to have a good relationship with Wang Qiying, said with a smile before he even sat down.
Wang Qiying smiled and said, "Yes, the real estate market has started to pick up recently, and the economy has also started to improve. There are many job openings, and our personnel department is almost overwhelmed."
"That's good. My family bought a house and was hoping for the value to increase further." The person next to him also said with a smile.
Wang Qiying asked back: "Ah Xue, when you hadn't bought a house a few months ago, you complained that the house prices were too expensive? Now you think the house prices are too low?"
"It's different now." Ah Xue was speechless all of a sudden. It was indeed like that. Before buying a house, I hated the high house price. After buying a house, I wished that the house price would increase tenfold.
As a personnel manager at one of Hong Kong's top British-owned companies, she naturally knew a lot about human nature. It was just a casual joke between friends. After sitting down, she casually flipped through the envelopes in the box.
There are really too many envelopes. Once a company like Wharf Holdings says it wants to recruit, there will be too many people submitting resumes.
"Huh~" Wang Qiying suddenly touched an abnormal envelope. It felt different and was obviously much thicker, so she took it out.
Ah Xue also noticed something unusual and turned around to ask, "What's wrong?"
"This envelope is very thick. It doesn't contain a resume." After Wang Qiying said this, she prepared to tear open the envelope to check.
Ah Xue joked, "It can't be cash."
Wang Qiying obviously didn't take it seriously. When the envelope was torn open, she found several yellow square pieces of paper.
"What is this?" Axue looked at the yellow paper and asked curiously.
"I don't know, I've never seen it." Wang Qiying didn't understand, but soon found some small words on one of the yellow papers, which read:
[Post-it note: When you need to ensure that you will not forget something in the future, you can write it down on this piece of paper and stick it on your desk.
Or on some data files related to the matter, so that you can remember it next time you see it.
The glue used for sticky notes will not leave any residue and will not leave any marks on your desk or other documents.
If you need to use it, just tear off the top! 】
Above the text, there is an arrow pointing directly upwards.
"The writing is not bad, but it feels a bit weird." Axue also finished reading the content of the words and said with a smile.
Wang Qiying didn't pay attention to the words, but followed the instructions and tore off the first small piece of paper. The adhesion between the papers was not very strong, so it was easily torn apart.
Then she pasted the paper on a piece of useless second-hand paper and it stuck easily.
She lifted the whole paper up again, and the yellow paper didn't fall off. Then she tore it open again, and it was easy. There was no mark left on the second-hand paper. "Aying, this is really good." Axue next to her had just taken another yellow sticky note. She was testing it on the table and said, "Look, there is no mark on the table. I remember that if I used tape, it would leave a very sticky layer of glue, and it would be easy to get dirty."
Wang Qiying looked at the table, nodded and said, "There is indeed no harm in it. This thing is really convenient for us to take notes."
Axue smiled and said, "Then I'll take this one."
"You can take it." Wang Qiying looked at the business card in the envelope again, and then said, "I guess this company called Changxing Industrial sent this to us just to let us use it for free first. After we use it up, or when other people see that we have it, they may take the initiative to buy it."
Axue played with the sticky note in her hand and said, "That should be the case, but as long as it works, just buy it. We are working for the company anyway."
"Yes." Wang Qiying nodded and said, "Try it first. If it works well, I'll apply to buy some more."
"Okay." Axue smiled.
The sticky note incident was just an incident during work for the two of them, and they quickly returned to their normal work;
It was only after they got the sticky notes that they began to use them subconsciously. The truth is, there are too many things to do at work, and if they forget, the consequences could be serious.
With this sticky note, you can stick it on your desk, on a cup, or even on a file corresponding to what needs to be done, and you can be more reliably sure that you will remember something when you need to.
The small incident that happened in Hutchison Whampoa also happened in some other large companies. Many employees of large companies responsible for external recruitment and external business received 5-10 sticky notes.
These sticky notes come with instructions so people can understand how to use them at a glance.
Similarly, each envelope contains the contact information of Changxing Industrial Company.
So, a few days later, the phone at Changxing Industrial Company started ringing non-stop.
Su Yiyi and others have been making 20 sticky notes by hand these days. After wrapping another envelope, she asked, "Brother Dong, now that so many people want to buy our sticky notes, why don't we charge them?"
Yang Wendong was also helping to cut the paper. He smiled and replied, "Don't charge me for now. I can't make much money from this. I need people to send money to me. It's too troublesome. Although sticky notes are convenient, they are not a necessity. If it's too troublesome, they may give up using them."
Su Yiyi nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, people with good habits can just record things in a special notebook."
Yang Wendong said: "In theory, this is possible, but in reality, not one person out of 100 can do it; besides, most of the time you don't remember to look at the book."
"Yeah." Su Yiyi also agreed.
Yang Wendong added: "During this period, in addition to these large companies that need sticky notes, we should continue to send free sticky notes to other smaller companies. We can't say that we want them to develop a habit, but at least let them know about this thing."
"Okay, no problem." Su Yiyi said with a smile.
