Chapter 449 Can you speak like Chen Zhuo?
Chapter 449 Can you speak like Chen Zhuo?
In fact, you don’t need to spend too much time with a person to tell whether he or she has good skills. You can basically tell whether he or she has good skills through a brief communication.
Especially for the regional managers of the three major operators, they have turned their youth into the wolfberry thermos cup in their hands during these years of work. What kind of monsters and demons have they not seen?
When I first met Chen Zhe, I heard him call Guo Jiamao "Uncle Guo". Since he was so young, I thought he was one of Guo Jiamao's juniors who wanted to find a job.
Work is a small problem.
Although it's just a branch, there are quite a lot of positions, so you can just assign them to new positions.
Later, I got Chen Zhuo's business card and learned about his identity and deeds. Through chatting with him, I finally realized that this was a young man with real abilities.
He speaks calmly, but when he does, he often hits the nail on the head.
He never competed for anything and deliberately gave the limelight to Guo Jiamao;
He behaved neither humbly nor arrogantly. Even when people told dirty jokes about officialdom, he did not participate but listened with a smile and did not act in a noble manner.
Later, when he sat at the table, he was still calm and composed. He knew when to raise his glass, when to toast, and when to speak, and he grasped the timing and scale just right.
No wonder he can make so much money when he is only a freshman in college. This is not only due to his business talent, but also his familiarity with interpersonal relationships.
Although Sheng Yucai from China Mobile, Li Yunpeng from China Unicom, and Jin Tao from China Telecom did not know the real purpose of Chen Zhe's participation in the drinking party, Guo Jiamao was cautious and did not reveal it at the beginning.
But it was obvious that this entrepreneurial college student must have something going on, so everyone toasted each other while waiting curiously and cautiously.
In our daily work, we often have to face strangers. So what tricks do we need to master so that we can be at ease when receiving them?
It should be like this:
Demonstrate your strength and intelligence (emotional intelligence) to stakeholders (or groups);
Show humility and politeness to people (or groups) who have no relevant interests.
So in addition to the appropriate actions, Chen Zhuo has also been talking about the current scale of the CUHK Learning Network.
In addition to firmly occupying the market in eastern Guangdong, the learning network has now expanded to southern Hunan, western Guangdong, western Jiangxi, Guizhou and southern Fujian provinces.
Although, it has only gained a foothold in the capital cities of five provinces, or to be more precise, it has only become well-known in the university towns of the provincial capital cities.
However, the main force of tutors are college students and graduate students, and consumers who can afford tutors are mostly concentrated in provincial capital cities with relatively developed economies.
This is the current strategy of the learning network, ever since the team of Yao Lan, Feng Zhuolin, Xiang Qing, Huo Qiaoling and Mao Xintong successfully established a "base" in Changsha.
Chen Zhuo directly asked Mao Erjie to stay in southern Hunan, and then rebuilt the team with the other four people as the core, and went to the four cities of Guilin, Nanchang, Fuzhou and Guizhou.
With Guangzhou's successful experience as a guide and the training they received in southern Hunan, the four people took up their posts with high spirits and high morale.
Yao Lan, Feng Zhuolin, Xiang Qing and Huo Qiaoling were all very excited. After all, they were the leaders this time and no one would hinder them when it came to funding and related issues.
In fact, everything these people did in Changsha was reported to Chen by Mao Xintong.
Chen could even guess which of these employees would embezzle money, but due to the current staff shortage, Chen would pretend not to know unless it was too excessive.
Any company's expatriate business backbones need to be given appropriate gray income, which is one of the motivations for them to leave home and travel far away.
Chen Zhuo had been a leader and was well aware of the truth that "too clear water will have no fish".
After arriving in the provincial capital, the steps were still the same. First, rent an office close to the university town and recruit local people as customer service staff.
These customer service representatives all have to go back to the Guangzhou headquarters for a week of training to familiarize themselves with the business and to have their brains cleaned. After they return, they can basically take up their posts immediately.
Of course, during this period, the "CUHK Learning Network" was also promoted through distributing flyers, placing advertisements, and placing advertisements in newspapers. Because there was an office and some students did make real money, the "Learning Network" soon spread like a plague in these university towns.
“This way of laying is actually a bit rough.”
After Chen finished his introduction, he also gave such an evaluation, but then changed the subject: "After all, now is a critical period to seize the blank market. Once a triangular relationship of mutual trust is established with college students and consumers, some details can be gradually improved."
The other people in the box might not know much about business, but seeing Chen's confident expression, they all felt that it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Then you just do it steadily."
Guo Jiamao said, "Chen Zhe, fate favors young people like you who dare to look up at the stars and can remain calm. I believe that it won't be long before the whole country knows about the Learning Network and your name."
"Uncle Guo is right."
After receiving compliments at the table, Chen Zhuo picked up the wine and walked over to clink glasses with Guo Jiamao, which is one of the basic etiquettes.
When the host Liang Haoqun and the deputy host Wang Youqing saw this, they didn't need to be reminded and went to find the managers of the three major operators to "fight against each other".
It’s another new round of “tons, tons, tons”.
The atmosphere in the box had become heated. Guo Jiamao had drunk several glasses of wine before. Although his eyes were clear, he was already feeling drunk.
When Chen Zhuo came over, Guo Jiamao also stood up. He looked at Chen Zhuo for a moment and sighed in a low voice:
"Your personality is like your father's. You are like a heavy sword without a sharp edge, and you are like a clumsy worker. You are not as sharp as I was when I was young. Your interpersonal relationships must be more harmonious than mine. So there is no need to teach you anything. Just work hard."
Old Guo is a little sad about his fate.
From being a promising deputy district chief to being forced to become a deputy director of a cold government office, the bitterness and gap between the two is something that is difficult to understand unless one has experienced it himself.
The corners of Chen's mouth twitched.
The officialdom is like a game of chess. Giving it your all when making a move is a skill, and not regretting a move is a state of mind. Many leaders only have the ability to take on responsibilities, but lack the wisdom to let go.
Sometimes, however, taking two steps back is not necessarily a bad thing. Lao Guo is now associated with "replying to letters". If he can do it in the future, it will be a very dazzling political achievement to give him an unofficial guidance position.
But we can’t say now, everything in the future is still unknown.
"Ding~"
Chen Zhuo and Guo Jiamao clinked their glasses, and the wine glasses made a crisp sound.
"Uncle Guo."
Chen Zhuo didn't say much else, just said softly: "Relax, look back at the desolate place, there is no wind or rain, and there is no clear sky."
This is a line from Su Shi's "Ding Feng Bo", which roughly means that even though people are in adversity and setbacks, they still need to have a broad mind.
Guo Jiamao was not the kind of uneducated leader. He understood the younger generation's slightly playful but sincere comfort.
"Hahaha……"
Lao Guo smiled heartily, patted Chen's shoulder, and then shouted to everyone in the box: "The learning network wants to go beyond eastern Guangdong and go nationwide. There are many difficulties. Do you have any good suggestions?"
On the surface, this sentence means "please give your opinions", but in fact it means "make a request to everyone", hoping that you can provide certain support to the learning network.
After all, Guo Jiamao used to be a deputy district mayor, and there is always a kind of heroic "obey orders" in his words.
Unlike those department-level cadres from the provincial and municipal governments who have been sitting in the office for a long time, the middle-aged man wears glasses, looks quite frail, and speaks slowly and softly.
Even if you make a request, you still have to go through hundreds of detours.
However, Liang Haoqun and Wang Youqing were brought here by Chen Zhuo, so it was definitely not said to them.
Sheng Yucai of China Mobile, Li Yunpeng of China Unicom, and Jin Tao of China Telecom immediately realized that this was a hint from Director Guo.
The three of them understood that this should be the highlight of tonight's social event.
However, if it really is a job, it would be easy.
But considering Chen's current achievements, it is obvious that he cannot just be content with just a job.
Besides, what is the need for us, the three major operators, to get involved in a technology company that runs an educational website?
Hey?
Should we build a base station specifically for him?
But you know what, this is actually possible, and it doesn’t cost us any money anyway.
Since they didn't know Chen Zhuo's specific request, Sheng Yucai and the others didn't dare to agree to it for a while, and the box fell into a brief silence.
The "quiet" at the social table, even if it lasts for less than a second, is actually very obvious, because it forms a huge contrast with the liveliness just now.
It’s not that Guo Jiamao was reckless in the way he made his request, but that anyone would subconsciously think about something when faced with something they are uncertain about.
If we continue to be "quiet", the atmosphere might become a bit awkward.
The two "assisting players", Liang Haoqun and Wang Youqing, were already trying to break the ice with their eyes flickering.
"No no."
However, Chen Zhuo reacted faster. He filled his glass directly and walked towards Sheng Yucai, the manager of China Mobile, one of the three major operators, and said:
"Director Guo means that if the relatives of Mr. Sheng, Mr. Li, and Mr. Jin need to find tutors in the future, it would be best if they can go through the learning network. We can also earn some service fees, which is the greatest support."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed.
The slightly awkward atmosphere disappeared without a trace as Chen Zhuo started to tease himself.
Sheng Yucai also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he admired Chen Zhe very much.
Or, with college students like Chen, even the stubborn Professor Lu is slowly changing his mind, and everyone can see the shining points in him.
Especially his rescue just now, which made Sheng Yucai couldn't help but secretly admire him.
So when Chen Zhuo toasted him, he did not hesitate to stand up and clink glasses with Chen Zhuo.
As a result, there was a loud bang!
It turned out that the moment Sheng Yucai stood up, his arm accidentally hit the soup bowl on the table.
The rich soup immediately splashed onto Chen's white short-sleeved shirt, and the mixture of yellow and gray looked like sea rocks after the tide went out, looking dirty and ugly.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry..."
Sheng Yucai handed over the tissue, but he couldn't help but want to slap himself in the face.
Fuck!
What’s going on tonight? You’re not fucking drunk.
I felt relieved just now because of Chen's rescue, but now I seem to feel a little embarrassed because of the action of spilling the soup.
Chen took the tissue, but he didn't really wipe it. Instead, he looked around and said with a smile:
"I haven't even had a drink yet, but I've already received Mr. Sheng's best wishes. This [oil and water] fell on me and I took it away, which means I'm going to make a fortune this year!"
