The recruitment or promotion of middle and low-level managers is a matter for the human resources department of Changda Group and the leaders of each branch. Guan Yuntian generally does not ask about it, so he knows very little about the situation of the nearly 300 middle-level managers in the company.

, although in the process of secretly selecting the successor of Changda Group some time ago, Xiang Fei, the executive deputy manager of the new materials branch, and Chen Xueliang, who was recruited last year, also performed outstandingly, but it was only an evaluation of their actual performance. Guan Yuntian's evaluation of Xiang

I don’t know much about Fei’s past resume.

According to Xiang Fei himself, his major is materials science. After graduating from his undergraduate degree, he was recruited to the Changda Group Auto Parts Branch and worked as a workshop operator for one year. In the second year, he was appointed as the team leader and worked at the grassroots level.

After being the squad leader for less than a year, Ye Jiayi set up a technical supervision group because Ye Jiayi wanted to improve the qualification rate of brake pads. Several university graduates majoring in materials science and machining, including Xiang Fei, became members of the supervision group.

Xiang Fei is the member of the technical supervision team who likes to use his brain the most. He puts forward the most rational suggestions. It is by adopting several of his key suggestions that the qualification rate of brake pads has increased by 10%. He is very interested in improving the quality of brake pads.

He made great contributions to quality and cost reduction. I remember that he received material and spiritual rewards from the group company at the end of that year.

Since then, Xiang Fei has worked as a workshop technician and workshop director of the auto parts branch. That year, Changda Group cooperated with external units to produce high-capacity batteries and needed a workshop director with similar majors, theoretical foundation and practical experience. Ye Jiayi came naturally.

Xiang Fei came to mind, so he became the first workshop director of the New Materials Branch.

With the expansion of market demand, the New Materials Branch has grown from one workshop to three workshops now. Xiang Fei was promoted from the workshop director back then to the executive deputy manager of the New Materials Branch three years ago.

Guan Yuntian particularly appreciates this kind of management talent who has risen step by step from the lowest level, but he feels that the field in front of him is not broad enough. “Your professional knowledge has been fully applied over the years, and you have gradually stepped up in recent years.

In terms of management positions, what do you think are the similarities and differences between working in management and working in technology at the grassroots level?"

Facing the chairman's questions alone for the first time, Xiang Fei couldn't help but feel nervous. He scratched his head a little awkwardly, "The similarities and differences...how should I put it?"

"According to your opinion, tell your feelings, just like chatting." Guan Yuntian tried to ease the other party's tension.

Seeing that it didn't look like a separate interview, Xiang Fei relaxed a little, "Theoretically, management is also a science. Since technology and management both belong to the category of science, there must be similarities. However, after all, the two face

For different objects, there are bound to be differences between them. According to my feelings, the similarity is that they all have rules to follow, and summary of experience is essential; as for the differences, management pays more attention to experience, not theory.

So rigorous, and although technology also pays attention to experience, it must be based on rigorous theory."

Although these words are not as standard as explained in the book, Guan Yuntian believes that this is Xiang Fei's true feeling, "Since you entered Changda Group, whether you are doing practical work at the grassroots level or later doing management, you have always dealt with the manufacturing industry.

, I have never been exposed to other industries, and now you are asked to help in the elderly care project. What do you think of the service industry?"

Xiang Fei thought that the chairman was testing his work attitude and hurriedly expressed his position: "Mr. Guan, please rest assured. Although I have never been exposed to the elderly care business before, under your command, I will definitely follow your requirements.

, guaranteed to complete the task!”

Guan Yuntian waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. Since I seconded you here, there must be a lot of work for you to do. At least you can be considered a person in the pension project for the time being. I want to know how much you know about this industry."

Xiang Fei collected his thoughts and said, "To be honest, because I have never been exposed to the elderly care business before, I really don't have a deep understanding of this industry. But fortunately, the elderly care industry is a popular business. Everyone has an elderly person in their family. Most people don't know much about this industry."

I’m not unfamiliar with it, but my understanding is superficial. As far as I’m concerned, I think the elderly care industry has stable social needs, and the government also supports the development of such projects. This is a plus, but this industry requires careful calculation, because earning money from the elderly

It’s not always easy, and you need to have patience and perseverance, otherwise it will be difficult to complete the project well.”

"Because I haven't been exposed to this industry before, it's good that you can understand it to this extent. Okay, let's get back to the business." Guan Yuntian explained the next work content.

After listening to the tasks assigned by Guan Yuntian, Xiang Fei looked solemn and said very cautiously: "I feel honored to work under the personal leadership of the chairman! However, I have never participated in project negotiations, nor in project preparation.

Experience, Mr. Guan, I’m afraid that I won’t do well and live up to your expectations!”

"The matter is not as serious as you think. It does not require you to negotiate, but mainly allows you to participate in the process." Guan Yuntian explained.

Xiang Fei felt relieved, "Oh, I'm just following along and participating. That's more like it. If you need me to do anything, please just ask Mr. Guan."

"However, after completing the negotiations and signing the investment agreement, project preparation is your job."

"Let me be responsible for project preparation alone? Mr. Guan, I still have no experience in this area!" Xiang Fei spread his hands, looking helpless.

"You have been the executive deputy manager of the New Materials Branch for three or four years. I remember that you participated in the construction of the first phase of the New Materials Branch. Will it be more difficult to prepare for the elderly care project?" Guan Yuntian said.

In fact, Xiang Fei is also a low-key person. It’s not that he knows nothing about project preparation, but he just doesn’t want to be too active in front of the chairman, lest outsiders think that he wants to take the opportunity to climb up. “Mr. Guan, prepare to build a project.”

I basically know the process, but I’m afraid that if I don’t do it well, it will delay the company’s major events.”

"That's not a big deal. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me. You can also inspect the completed senior care projects in advance to see what areas are worth learning from."

"Oh, if this is the case, then I will be confident!" Xiang Fei finally said something very confident, which is what Guan Yuntian expected.

Two days later, at the invitation of the relevant departments in City D, Guan Yuntian took Xiang Fei to discuss investment matters in a pension project. As soon as he got off the highway, he saw a black car parked at the intersection and a middle-aged man standing next to him.

The Audi A8 with a Huayuan City license plate drove out of the intersection. People in the car saw the middle-aged man waving his arms at them, so Master Wang stopped the car and rolled down the window.

Before the people in the car could speak, the middle-aged man took two steps forward and came to the car window and asked, "Is this Mr. Guan from Changda Group?"

"Yes, are you...?"

"Oh, I am Lao Xia, director of the D Civil Affairs Bureau Office. Director Wan asked me to come to the highway intersection to greet you."

Guan Yuntian waved to the other party, "Director Wan is so polite! I have been to your place more than once. Although I am not very familiar with it, I should be able to find it."

"Director Wan is always enthusiastic towards people. This is his intention. Mr. Guan, just follow my car."

"Okay, please lead the way, Director Xia."

After driving into the city for more than 20 minutes, Master Wang turned the car to the parking lot in front of a building on the right. After Lao Xia found out, he asked the driver to turn the car back. He knew that this was a mid-range hotel.

After getting off the car, Lao Xia immediately followed, "Mr. Guan, do you want to stay here? According to Director Wan's instructions, I have already booked a hotel for you."

"Thank you for your kindness! We will stay here. Please ask Director Xia to cancel the hotel reservation." With that, Guan Yuntian and his party walked to the hotel lobby.

"If you insist on living here, I'll handle the formalities." Lao Xia strode forward.

Guan Yuntian grabbed Lao Xia and said, "This is our business, how can we let you do it? Besides, as a government department, you have limited funds, so you should just leave this kind of thing alone."

Lao Xia stopped, turned around and said, "Mr. Guan, you are here to invest in the elderly service center. It is an investment promotion project of our bureau. These expenses can be included in the special expenditure for investment promotion."

Guan Yuntian knew that the functional departments of the local government all had the task of attracting investment. Projects like this happened to be under the management of the civil affairs department. The first-come-first-served basis naturally belonged to the investment promotion performance of the civil affairs department. This was why their director Wan was eager to promote this matter.

One of the reasons for the matter.

Regardless of whose investment promotion achievements the project belongs to, in order to adhere to principles during the negotiation process, Guan Yuntian never takes advantage of this kind of thing. He ordered the driver, Master Wang, to go to the front desk to check in, "Director Xia, I accept your wishes.

, but things can’t be done that way, so don’t argue.”

Lao Wang quickly completed the formalities. Lao Xia was waiting in the lobby. After Guan Yuntian and his party went to the room to put down their luggage, it was already noon. They had lunch at a nearby restaurant and agreed to visit the relevant leaders in the bureau at two o'clock in the afternoon.

This investment promotion was led and implemented by the D civil affairs department. In order to show the importance the local government attached to this matter, the city government sent a deputy mayor in charge to the negotiation site in person. In addition to welcoming Changda Holdings on behalf of the city government in D

The city invested in a pension project and symbolically presided over the opening ceremony of the business negotiation. Later, the leader left the negotiation table saying that something had happened and handed over the specific negotiation work to Lao Wan of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

In the afternoon of that day, Guan Yuntian and Lao Wan negotiated the general framework of Changda Holdings' investment in the elderly care project in City D. Since the two parties had contacted many times before, the major terms only needed to be confirmed face-to-face by both parties, and the framework agreement was quickly concluded.

Achieved.
