Chapter 397: People-pleasing
The biggest result of this meeting.
The heads of various departments have basically reached a consensus on the price increase proposal put forward by Ning Weimin.
Even Zou Guodong and Manager Sha followed the trend and expressed support for his suggestion.
No one is stupid enough to go against the general trend, and no one can really withstand the silver bullet offensive.
There are obviously great and real benefits out there, but if you don't reach out to take them just because of a conflict of emotions, that's how sick you are!
This is human nature.
Conversely, there are questions about whether and how the commissions of sales staff and the bonuses of non-sales staff of the company will change.
At this time, no one mentioned it at all, as if these problems did not exist.
Because everyone knows in their hearts that all of this is dependent on the major matter of "price increase", and everything depends on the actual results.
Song Huagui was not stingy, and could even be said to be generous.
With her temperament and acting style, it is absolutely impossible for her to treat everyone poorly as long as she can ensure the interests of the company.
To put it bluntly, as long as the company does well and has money, everyone will naturally do well. This is a matter of course.
As for why they only reached a consensus, Song Huagui did not make a formal decision on the spot.
This is also normal.
Because decisions of this magnitude are rarely achieved in one step and can be reached on the spot.
Whether it is to show the unique authority of the top leader, or to make the decision-making attitude look not rash but carefully considered, Song Huagui needs such a time buffer.
In short, the meeting ended in a peaceful and warm atmosphere.
For the first time, Ning Weimin felt the taste of being praised by the people in charge of the head office.
Looking at the ugly behavior of these people, whoever has breasts is a mother, he felt great and finally felt proud.
However, what he didn't expect was that after the meeting, he was left by Song Huagui and taken to the office before he could make a further report to Song Huagui on the feasibility of the price increase.
As soon as I closed the door, I was scolded by the leader.
"Xiao Ning, you are too arrogant! You took the opportunity to vent your feelings against Manager Zou and Manager Sha at the meeting today, didn't you? Your words are really too much. Why can't you understand yourself correctly? "The position!"
Song Huagui sat on the chair, his smile just now disappeared.
Not only his expression was unprecedentedly serious, but he also hit the nail on the head.
Ning Weimin was speechless immediately and was a little confused by the beating.
Song Huagui’s words were not polite at all, but he said them very seriously.
Of course he felt he was wronged.
My heart said, Sister Song, why are you coming to me? Aren’t we on the same page?
How do I know where I am? Am I only allowed to do the first year of junior high school for others, but not the fifteenth for me?
Was it wrong for me to act in self-defense?
Those two guys almost squeezed me to death. You still ask me to repay kindness with kindness, so how can I repay kindness with kindness?
But when he thought about it, he quickly realized something was wrong.
If nothing else, Song Huagui had always been kind to him and was undoubtedly the only protector he could trust and rely on in the head office.
What's more, the company's performance has improved, and Song Huagui is the biggest beneficiary.
Since he came up with such a brilliant idea to solve the problem, even those who were originally enemies of him praised him.
It was enough for Song Huagui not to praise him for his great achievements, so why should he give him a cold face at this time?
After all, he is someone who has been his own boss.
Almost instantly, Ning Weimin figured it out.
Ouch! Are you just a little carried away?
Have you been carried away by the praise of those people who didn't hold their shit back?
If this is the case, Song Huagui would have called him over and poured some cold water on him at the right time, then he would really regard him as one of his own.
Otherwise, it proves that you don’t care about him and you can give up at any time.
"Mr. Song, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Your criticism is right!"
Ning Weimin was quick-witted and immediately restrained his rebellious mood and apologized sincerely.
Song Huagui was a little surprised.
She did not expect that Ning Weimin would be so obedient. She originally thought that this boy was being teased in his excitement.
I have to complain a bit.
"You are wrong? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Ning Weimin started the self-examination mode without hesitation.
"I shouldn't have my tail raised and I shouldn't be arrogant! I shouldn't be stubborn at the meeting and chase and beat up Manager Sha! In fact, I also understand that when everyone rows oars to drive a big boat, when everyone gathers firewood, the flames will rise. This should be the same as We all live in harmony. But Manager Sha and Manager Zou are too much. I can’t control myself. Think about it, how old am I? If I wasn’t angry, would I still be a young man? , pay more attention in the future.”
What does it mean to paint an old cucumber green?
Ning Weimin is it.
This guy is close to four people.
However, relying on a pair of smooth and tender young skin, he told lies without conscience.
This is clearly bullying Song Huagui without knowing what is going on.
However, this trick of pretending to be a grandson reveals its shortcomings, but it is really effective.
After listening to his words, Song Huagui's soft-heartedness unique to women was aroused, and he couldn't help but sigh, and his tone softened.
"Sit down. Since you understand the truth, I won't waste any more words with you. I just want to give you a few more words of advice based on the actual situation and for your future."< br>
"First of all. Although you are at an age where you can fool around, you are already a middle-level manager of the company. Your position and your position determine that you cannot act based on your own impulses. You have to keep an eye on all aspects. . Unless you want to stay in this position forever and be someone else’s deputy.”
"As for you, your boss, and Manager Sha, I don't expect you to really unite. But at least you have to maintain the appearance of getting along with each other. Even if you want to resist them and put forward counterattacks, you must pay attention to your attitude. You must give others Leave the steps behind."
"After all, you are younger than them and your position is lower than them. You can discuss the matter as it is, but you cannot deliberately make others unable to step down. . What do others think when they see it? "
"Don't look at everyone supporting you today, but it's just because you have a good idea that everyone can benefit from. Who would really want to reward you? Your merits have further enhanced your position and power?”
“So don’t be fooled by praise and applause, and don’t always think that if someone punches you, you will sometimes suffer a loss. It’s just taking advantage. For the sake of your own future development, you just can’t enlist others’ help, and don’t add resistance to yourself.”
Understood! The truth is of course too clear!
It is easy to know but difficult to do. Whether you can do it is another matter.
It is very likely that next time, Ning Weimin will still be unable to control his emotions and slap someone in the face. How pleasant it is. Besides, he really doesn't want to climb up. When the time comes, he will have to go it alone sooner or later.
He is already very satisfied with the current situation, and he plans to just live with it.
But despite this, he couldn't help but feel grateful for Song Huagui's respect and kindness.
Of course, you have to pick out what others like to hear and hide your little thoughts that should not be exposed.
"Understood, I totally listen to you, Mr. Song! Thank you for teaching me how to be a human being. If you didn't treat me as one of your own, you wouldn't have said this to me. I know in my heart that you are really a dear friend. My eldest sister treats me well.”
Being upright is annoying, and saying nice things to others is the eternal truth that makes people like you.
Sure enough, Song Huagui was even happier now.
She didn’t expect Ning Weimin to be so humble, and his kindness and painstaking efforts were truly justified.
As a result, not only did he feel completely calm, but he even talked to Ning Weimin about his workplace experience more like a teacher instructing his students.
"It would be great if you can really listen. Remember, no one is omnipotent. But speaking in the big picture, as long as we can unite well, nothing can't be done. The level of a manager's ability actually depends on it. How many people can he unite? "
"You like to work alone and work alone. Even if you treat your subordinates, you have the final say. This is not good for a company with thousands of people. Wan Xu, what is needed is teamwork. As a leader, you must ultimately rely on the collective efforts and cooperation of all departments to do things."
"I will really give it to you now. I have put you in charge of several franchised stores. I believe you can manage them very well because this is your area of expertise and you won’t encounter too many troubles. But what about the cooperation with the head office? Think about it for yourself, is it time for you to recite the Buddha's name if everyone doesn't deliberately cause trouble for you?"
"Then if you have to manage dozens of stores in the future, can you still take care of it like you do now? Come here? Then you will have to guard against your colleagues at the head office every day? Is this ridiculous?”
"You are a very smart person. If you recognize someone, you can handle the relationship quite harmoniously. But your biggest flaw is how you treat people you don't like. When have you ever been able to calmly cooperate with people you don't like? Only then will we achieve greater success in the future.”
“There are not so many things that go smoothly in our lives, and most of the people we meet are people who are not in tune with us. Avoid people you hate, don't want to deal with, or even people who are hostile. Therefore, learning to work with people you don't like and how to resolve other people's dissatisfaction and hostility is not only a necessary skill, but also an indispensable skill. The ability, but also the wisdom of long-term vision..."
In this way, the conversation between Song Huagui and Ning Weimin lasted for more than an hour.
She would never say these words to others, that is, she would only want to say them to Ning Weimin.
And Ning Weimin is really worthy of her cultivation.
Quite competently being a qualified listener.
And when he finally left, he gave Song Huagui three surprise gifts to her.
The first gift was Ning Weimin’s response to the “price increase” issue.
On the afternoon of September 25th, the feasibility report was prepared.
Because he is engaged in various speculative businesses, he has a good grasp of the market consumption situation in the capital.
Therefore, Song Huagui knew at a glance that the research and investigation work was sufficient and the data in the report was detailed and credible.
It is by no means a flashy, fancy thing.
At the same time, this also proves that what Ning Weimin said at the meeting is completely true.
It shows that his original plan was to report the matter to Song Huagui alone after the meeting.
Instead of deliberately trying to expand the conflict at the meeting and humiliate the opponent in public.
Needless to say, with this report, Song Huagui will not only make more accurate judgments, but it will also be easier to communicate with the head office.
Is there anything more convincing than using data to speak for you?
The second gift was a very practical suggestion given by Ning Weimin based on the needs of his expanding social circle.
I just hope that the head office can print business cards for him to solve the practical problem of leaving phone numbers for others.
Song Huagui has seen business cards abroad.
But because I have never used it, after returning to China for a long time, I have gradually forgotten the necessity of such a convenient little card in communication.
Ning Weimin’s reminder made her particularly happy.
Because she immediately realized that this idea would not only benefit the entire company, but also improve the company's external image and style.
So she immediately associated the color, style, and content of the card with great interest...
She studied oil painting, so naturally she was particularly interested in this work.
The third gift, to Song Huagui's surprise, was actually an jade bracelet.
She sternly refused at first, misunderstanding that Ning Weimin was going to act like a philistine and wanted to use material things to curry favor with her boss.
But Ning Weimin explained that it was not the case. Instead, he mentioned that when he borrowed money from Song Huagui to sell calligraphy and paintings, he had suggested that Song Huagui invest in jade.
He said that he only bought it after seeing that the bracelet in the Friendship Store was of good quality and worth collecting. He asked Song Huagui if he wanted it.
If he wants, he will use it to offset part of the debt.
It doesn't matter if he's not interested, he'll keep it for himself.
In this case, Song Huagui found it difficult to refuse.
Although she could not be said to be knowledgeable about goods, she did listen to Ning Weimin and bought some jade jewelry at the Friendship Store.
I can't put it down because of the green color of this bracelet. It seems to be destined for me.
The price of the bracelet in particular is also right, much cheaper than the ones she has sold before.
Moreover, Ning Weimin knew everything and made it clear that the flaw in the ring was too large and was the reason why the bracelet was cheap.
She accepted it without any worries.
So, he is talented, knows how to advance and retreat, understands the general situation, and his subordinates who know how to be a good person almost appreciate him to the core.
She deeply realized how lucky she was to have a right-hand man like Ning Weimin who brought her more surprises every time than the last time.
However, this inevitably brought her new worries.
Originally, she was thinking that when things started to work at Maxim's Restaurant, she would transfer Ning Weimin to Maxim's Restaurant as the general manager.
This is a good way to resolve the conflict between the chief and deputy officers of the operation department and reintegrate the sales staff who have been divided into two camps.
But now, out of her appreciation and closeness to Ning Weimin, she had to reconsider whether this arrangement was appropriate.
If she really decides to do this, will Ning Weimin feel conflicted? Do you think you were picked off the peach?
