Chapter 296: Going to Work? Meeting
A new day.
Before going to work, Qingyi talked to his boss on the phone: "Mr. Smith, good morning, this is Zhang." ”
"Good morning, Zhang." The other party's voice sounds so 'fine' and energetic, which means that the other party has maintained a good routine, and Qingyi himself may not be able to do this (after all, staying up late for a piece of equipment is commonplace).
"I had an idea that I didn't know if it would work. We can have a meeting with the employees to see what they propose to the company. ”
"I dare say their first suggestion is that they want the company to pay more and work less overtime." Mr. Smith quipped.
Qingyi also laughed, but after laughing, he had to insist on what he should insist on: "Even so, that's a piece of advice." We can identify recommendations that will take the company further and that won't help. ”
"That's true. That's up to you, boy! ”
"No!" Qingyi hurriedly said, "Aren't you going with me?" After all, a lot of advice needs to be decided by you. "He didn't dare to take all the blame, and if he agreed to a suggestion in his favor at the meeting and Mr. Smith didn't, he was the one who would provoke the hatred, right. The best option would be to have Mr. Smith present, and if some of the suggestions didn't meet the boss's expectations, they would be able to shoot back on the spot. After all, it was Mr. Smith who paid for the implementation of the recommendations one by one, not himself, in the end, and only those with more money had the right to make decisions.
The person on the other end of the phone smiled: "I believe in you, Zhang!" I feel like I believe in you more than I believe in my family! Go ahead and I'll pay for any advice you think works! You may wish to keep a recording of the call. ”
Qingyi immediately expressed his gratitude, then hung up the phone and went to work.
When he came to the company, he asked everyone to sit down, and called his colleagues in the evening to come over, insisting that everyone be there. With the exception of 'Lucy' (who must have been so good on his trip to Las Vegas that she forgot to call her colleagues to talk about her thoughts), everyone was there in five minutes.
"What are you going to do?" Todd jumped out to contradict Qingyi for the first time, which seemed to have become his habit, even if he didn't do it for a day, he was uncomfortable.
"I'm going to have a meeting with you and see what you have for our company." Qingyi said with a smile. He is also used to Todd picking thorns, anyway, no matter how much the other party picks thorns, it will not affect the quality of the other party's work and his own authority, so let the other party be.
"I suggest a raise in the company!" Todd's words caused laughter in the hall, and the atmosphere of the meeting became friendly.
Qingyi shook his pen and wrote it down in his notebook, and said, "Of course you can get a raise!" As long as the company's efficiency improves in the next quarter, I will immediately raise my salary according to the increase rate! ”
This time, everyone stopped laughing, some whispered 'privately', and some thoughtfully. Blindly asking for a raise is a joke, of course, but if there is a premise that can be achieved, then a raise is not an extravagant expectation. If you want to improve the company's efficiency, you have to give some useful advice in the real world.
Qingyi thought: This is the binding of interests, our little bee express is a whole, the interests of employees must be closely linked with the company, a loss and a common prosperity!
Todd spoke again, but everyone could see that he was asking very seriously: "Hey! What good advice can we have? You're a Harvard graduate, and you have a lot more useful stuff in your head than we do, so why bother? ”
"You're not right. There is a saying in my homeland, 'The wisdom of three shoemakers is better than one wise man', which shows that gathering the strength of the masses can also produce good ideas, and the West even emphasizes the brainstorming method, so that people can 'shoot' the spark of thought between people and get the best answer. It can be seen that both China and the United States pay attention to the extraordinary benefits of teamwork, and I don't think I can replace our whole team. ”
"Team?" A colleague asked ignorantly, "Are we counted too?" I mean, couriers are part of a team? ”
"Absolutely. Our company is different from those sales companies, as long as you work in Little Bee Express, you are all part of the team. Qingyi smiled at him sincerely, and then tapped the table with the tip of his pen to remind everyone: "Okay, back to the topic, do you have any suggestions for the company?" Any wild ideas, please speak up, it's okay. Of course, if it's the idea of 'asking the president to speak for us,' it's better not to say it." ”
A colleague said, "So, I think it's time for us to change offices!" It's too small now, but it's constantly adding seats to the new operators! Several times I've hit the corner of the table for running too fast! ”
"Then why didn't you sue the company?" Qingyi smiled and made a note of this: "I also think it's time to change places." ”
Another colleague said, "I think the company should provide coke in addition to coffee and black tea!" ”
Qingyi also wrote: "I'm afraid this will have to wait for the company's benefits to come up." Is there any, come, give me more! ”
Todd sniffed and said loudly, "I'm applying for a new motorcycle!" Now I have to double as a food delivery, hell, when am I going to deliver with my bike! Every day after work, I think that the 'legs' are not my own! ”
Qingyi nodded heavily: "Very good suggestion!" I figured maybe I could get a new motorcycle in three days. ”
Todd asked suspiciously, "Are you serious?" ”
"Nonsense, of course it's all true! Like you, I want to make this company better, don't I? Is there anything else? The sooner I say it, the sooner I can implement it, or I'll have to wait for the next meeting! Is there anything else? ”
Under the guidance of Qingyi, the atmosphere of the meeting began to become warm. In the case of wide open speech, it is recommended that there are really five 'flowers' and eight 'doors', in addition to the previous ones, there are also requirements to "decorate the company's internal environment", "transfer the redundant manpower to the branch", and so on, Qingyi will accept all the orders.
After collecting about twenty suggestions, Qingyi turned the book to another page and said: "Now I want to set up a team leader for the operator and the courier, and the team leader's salary is 10% more than that of the team member, but he must be responsible for the work of the team member, in short, it is a position that has both benefits and responsibilities, and if he does a good job, he can be promoted." Now please pick up a pen and paper and write down what you think is the best candidate by anonymous voting. ”
"Why are you making so much trouble, and you are still promoted, what kind of job can you get promoted in this small company." Todd grumbled, but took the note from someone else.
Another minute later, paper balls were sent to Qingyi one after another, and Lucy's absence was regarded as a waiver. Qingyi was like a class teacher, opening the paper ball and reporting his name, and writing it down, and as a result, Todd became the courier team leader with an overwhelming number of "sexual" votes, and the operator team leader was served by an older colleague.
Qingyi was very satisfied with this result and said with a smile: "Let's continue to work." In addition, I may open a new department in the near future, so if you feel that your current position is not good for you, please come to me and I will arrange it for you. ”
Little Bee Express started another busy day, while Qingyi pulled the two team leaders away, and I don't know what to do.
