Chapter 1095 Team
“Experience life?”
"That's not the case. In fact, my father hopes that I can start from the grassroots level step by step, keep my feet on the ground and not aim too high."
Hearing this, Huo Dawei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The thoughts of you rich people are really incomprehensible. You have been hiding it from me so hard, I always thought you..." At this point, Huo Dawei shook his head again.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. You didn't hide it from me on purpose. Besides, it's not bad to have a rich second-generation friend. Haha, I didn't expect that I, Huo Dawei, actually have a rich friend." Huo Dawei waved his hands and laughed. Suddenly he remembered something and asked Song Yangming, "Then you got into Si Te because of your family's relationship? No wonder, I wonder how you got into Si Te headquarters so easily and became a leader. It seems that your family background is not shallow."
Hearing Huo Dawei's question, Song Yangming shook his head and said to Huo Dawei: "There is another thing about Si Te. I can't hide it from you. In fact, what you said just now is not wrong. I did rely on connections to get into Si Te, but this relationship is different from ordinary relationships, because..." Song Yangming raised his eyes and looked at Huo Dawei. Seeing that Huo Dawei was looking at him, he gritted his teeth and said: "Because Si Te is my family."
"Oh, Sir is...wait, what did you say just now? I seem to have something wrong with my ears?" Huo Dawei was still calm the moment before, but the next moment he suddenly stood up with a look of disbelief.
If Song Yangming told him that his father knew someone in the upper echelons of Sit, even the big boss of Sit, and that he had used his connections to get Song Yangming into Sit, Huo Dawei would not be surprised. But what did Song Yangming say now? He actually said that Sit was his family? How could Huo Dawei not be extremely shocked?
As an excellent analyst, Huo Dawei is no stranger to the business world, because this is his job. Especially for a giant company like Sit, Huo Dawei is very clear about Sit's position and strength in the industry.
In other words, Si Te is currently the largest instant noodle, beverage and drinking water company in China, and its other products, such as snack foods, candies, condiments, etc., also account for a considerable proportion in the country.
The annual sales and output value of Sit are extremely amazing, which is extremely important to the entire Jiangsu Province and even Jinling. It can be said that Sit's headquarters in Jinling has completely improved Jinling's status in the province and the country, solved a large number of employment problems, boosted the local economy and promoted development.
In addition, Sit has a large number of branches and bottling plants throughout the country, and its sales network is spread all over the country. Even in the overseas market, Sit cannot be underestimated. As early as a few years ago, Sit had laid out in Southeast Asia and other places, and established branches and factories in foreign countries and local cooperation. The products sell very well locally, and even in Europe and the United States, they are also well-known.
"My father is Song Yuanchao, have you heard of him?" Song Yangming said.
"Song Yuanchao? Why does this name sound so familiar? Let me think..." Huo Dawei recalled and suddenly slapped his forehead: "That's right, no wonder you said Si Te is your family. Song Yuanchao, I remember now, I heard that he is the boss of Shenghua Group, right? Si Te belongs to Shenghua Group, right! That's right! That's right. After all this fuss, you turned out to be Song Yuanchao's son? Song Yangming, Song Yangming, you hid it very well. If I hadn't come to you this time, did you plan to keep it a secret?"
Song Yangming didn't know how to answer for a moment and could only smile awkwardly.
Patting Song Yangming on the shoulder, Huo Dawei laughed and said, "Come on, didn't I just tell you? You didn't mean it, and it's normal for someone with your family background to hide it. Besides, your father is your father, and you are you. When I knew you, you didn't look like a rich second-generation, living in a village in the city, carrying a backpack every day, riding a broken bicycle or taking the bus to the company, eating boxed lunches like the rest of us, and worrying about not having enough money at the end of the month like me..."
As he spoke, Huo Dawei recalled the past when they worked together in Pengcheng, with a look of emotion on his face. The same was true for Song Yangming. They became friends when they were in obscurity. Huo Dawei didn't know Song Yangming's identity at the beginning, and Song Yangming was no different from ordinary people, not to mention any interests involved. This friendship was real.
As they were talking, the doorbell rang in the living room. Song Yangming and Huo Dawei got up, opened the door and saw that the food was being delivered from the restaurant.
The waiter brought in the food, placed it on the table, then said, "Mr. Song, please enjoy your meal" and left.
After sending the waiter away, Song Yangming asked Huo Dawei to eat his fill first. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening and he was already hungry.
Because he still had to work tomorrow, Song Yangming suggested not to drink liquor today and opened two bottles of beer to rinse his mouth. Huo Dawei smiled and nodded in agreement, but he also said that he had to owe the wine and find a chance to get it back in a few days. This made Song Yangming laugh and agreed immediately.
After pouring the wine, the two men clinked their glasses. Song Yangming congratulated Huo Dawei on his arrival, and then asked him to fill his stomach first. Huo Dawei didn't hesitate and picked up his chopsticks to start eating. The food from the restaurant that delivered the meal was good, and he was really hungry, so he ate especially deliciously.
"Old Song, can you tell me the details of the situation here?" After eating for a while, Huo Dawei put down his chopsticks, raised his glass to Song Yangming, and then asked.
"I would have told you this even if you didn't ask me." Song Yangming took a sip of wine and nodded, then got up and went into the house. When he came out, he took a document and a pack of good cigarettes.
"Take a look at this first. Smoking is not prohibited in my house. You can smoke if you want." As he said this, he handed the information and cigarettes to Huo Dawei, and then went to get an ashtray and placed it aside.
Huo Dawei nodded, took the thing and started looking at the information. After looking for a while, his eyebrows raised slightly, then he subconsciously took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, and continued to look carefully.
There wasn't much information, just a few pages, but Huo Dawei spent more than ten minutes reading it and smoked two cigarettes.
After reading it again, he closed the document and put it aside, then looked up at Song Yangming: "The new department you mentioned to me before is responsible for this project, right? Was it also because of this that we met in Pengcheng last time?"
"Yes!" Song Yangming said, "Last time I accompanied our general manager to Pengcheng. After you left, we stayed for two days and then went to Hangzhou. We reached a cooperation agreement with this company in Hangzhou. From now on, the work related to the Internet will be handled by this new department."
"My previous position was assistant to the general manager. I took the lead in establishing a new department according to the company's requirements. Now this department is called the Strategy Department. It is a new department of the group and is directly under the responsibility of the general manager's office. I am the director of this department. There are not many people in the department at present, and the recruitment work is still in progress. There are temporarily three groups within the department. Although they are groups in name, they are actually branches. The group leaders are at the manager level. After the department is completed, the group will formally establish a branch. As for the main work and functional division of the department, it is as follows..."
Song Yangming told Huo Dawei the situation in detail. Huo Dawei listened carefully and did not interrupt Song Yangming. He asked a few questions after Song Yangming finished speaking. Song Yangming did not beat around the bush and explained everything to Huo Dawei.
"I have a general understanding of the situation. What do you think about my arrangements?" Huo Dawei was a straightforward man and asked directly.
"I'm going to let you be in charge of the market and information. You've been working on the market and information aspects before, and this is your expertise. This area will be the top priority of the new department in the future. It can be said that the advancement of the other two departments, including cooperation with Internet companies, must be based on the market. I really don't feel at ease handing this over to someone else. Although I can do it myself, I really don't have the energy. After much thought, you are the most suitable person."
Huo Dawei laughed and nodded, "That's true. You will be in charge of the overall situation in the future. How can you do these specific tasks? Isn't this a waste of talent ? I personally have no problem with this task. In addition, I think that in addition to market and information work, we also need to add data control on the Internet and so on."
"This time, Sit has combined tradition with the Internet, which is a very good idea. In fact, I have also noticed this in my previous work. Currently, Internet shopping is developing very rapidly. Some small and medium-sized enterprises have taken the lead, and even some large enterprises have begun to consider this issue."
"But to be honest, their operations have great limitations, and their cooperation with the Internet is also quite limited. Your decision is right. In this type of cooperation model, you must not be restricted by Internet companies. Otherwise, once you become big, you will lose control. Internet companies will then control the channels and ask for exorbitant prices, or they will hold you back at a critical moment. This will have a huge impact on the company."
Song Yangming agreed and told Huo Dawei that it was because of this consideration that they were cooperating with Internet companies in the current way. However, in the cooperation, Si Te agreed to maintain independence and not be led by the Internet companies. The reason for establishing this new department was not only to promote and operate the needs, but also to make other preparations for the future.
"I understand. I can accept this position. But Lao Song, friends are friends and business is business. It's true that we are friends, but since this is work, we need to be clear about some things."
"you say."
Huo Dawei said seriously: "You know what kind of person I am, and you also know my abilities. If I am to be in charge of one of the teams or a subordinate department, I personally have three conditions."
He raised a finger and said, "The first condition is that I require a certain degree of autonomy! Please note that it is autonomy! I will not refuse reasonable requests from the company or my superiors, but I want independent authority for specific work and management. In other words, within this department, I must have the right to make decisions. This decision-making power includes personnel rights. If someone is unsuitable, I have the right to directly let that person go."
"That's no problem. Since it's been handed over to you, you will of course be responsible for it, including the personnel structure and specific work arrangements. All I want is the result, not the process." Song Yangming answered without hesitation.
"Second!" Huo Dawei raised his second finger and said, "In the specific work, no one can interfere with the process without authorization, and no one can point fingers at me. You just said that you only care about the result and not the process, and I agree with this. In this case, I don't want any obstacles or troubles. I joined the company to do things, not to waste time. I don't think you want me to waste time, right?"
"Haha, I thought you were going to say something. This condition is no different from the first one. Don't worry, since I asked you to come here, I didn't intend to put any restrictions on you. I give the requirements, and you give the results. It's that simple." At this point, Song Yangming asked curiously, "What about the third condition? If the third condition is similar, then there's no need to say anything. In a word, I'll give you the power, but you must give me a satisfactory result."
"No, no, I still have to tell you the third condition." Huo Dawei smiled and said, "I can't do it if you want the horse to run fast without eating grass. The third condition is actually my personal condition. I say, Lao Song, how much salary do you plan to pay me? I have to ask you clearly, right? You don't even have this prepared, and you want to get it for free?"
"Hahaha!" Song Yangming was so happy when he heard this. This guy didn't treat him as an outsider and actually asked about this situation directly. However, this was not a bad thing for Song Yangming. He also felt that it was a good idea for Huo Dawei to ask now . If Huo Dawei didn't ask these questions, Song Yangming would have doubts in his heart.
Immediately, Song Yangming told Huo Dawei about his salary and benefits. In addition to the dormitory he had promised him before, Song Yangming carefully explained some of the situations to Huo Dawei. After listening to Song Yangming's story, Huo Dawei was very satisfied. Song Yangming's sincerity was not small. He not only gave him a position and power, but also gave him a generous salary, which was much better than his previous job.
"OK, I'm fine!" Huo Dawei was completely relieved. He filled his glass with wine and raised it, saying, "Cheers to being colleagues again?"
"cheers!"
With a slight sound, the wine glasses clinked together, and the two men raised their hands to drink it all. After drinking, they showed each other their glasses and laughed at the same time.
