Chapter 381 It feels so good to be recognized
“I think Mr. Ma’s talents should not be buried in Jardine. I highly recognize Mr. Ma’s talents. This is why I invited Mr. Ma here today. The reason." Su Cheng finally revealed the purpose of this time.
"Mr. Su, I don't have much fame in Xiangjiang, right? I'm just an air-conditioning salesman. How do you know me?" Ma Shiming couldn't help but ask.
Ma Shiming has been working as a salesman at Jardine Air Conditioning Company, a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson, since he joined Jardine. Over the years, with his outstanding performance, he was gradually promoted to business manager.
However, just one business manager cannot satisfy Ma Shiming.
But he was really curious about how Su Cheng knew him.
After all, he can be said to be a truly unknown little person.
He is just an ordinary employee at Jardine. It would be okay if he was in a high position, but he is not.
“I am just like you, I also like to make friends. A few years ago, I heard about you and your wife from a friend of mine at Jardine Air Conditioning Company, and your story on the battlefield. Story, to me, you are a very special person. After that, I paid attention to you. Your outstanding work at Jardine Air Conditioning Company made me feel that you are a very talented person. Since Yihe has buried your talent, so I feel it is my duty to show you to the world and let the world know that you are not bad at all," Su Cheng said with a smile.
These words were of course made up by Su Cheng. Before this, he had never paid any attention to Ma Shiming. If he hadn't encountered something like Bud this time, he might not even have thought of looking for Ma Shiming. .
However, since there is a lack of a general at this time and Xiao Ai recommends him, Su Cheng will naturally not miss it.
Su Cheng does know the story of him and his wife, as well as his story on the battlefield.
Ma Shiming's story was later made into the movie "The Fugitive" by Hollywood.
It’s just that these are things from the past life.
Hearing Su Cheng's words, Ma Shiming was silent for a long time.
Then, drink the tea on the cup in one gulp.
Seeing this, Su Cheng smiled and poured him another cup of tea.
"Mr. Su, can you tell me who the friend who told you is?" Ma Shiming raised his head and asked.
“There’s no need to say this, it’s actually not important.” Su Cheng smiled and said.
"Yes." Ma Shiming nodded and fell silent again.
In fact, his heart was not calm, but it was like turbulent waves that made it difficult to calm down.
It turns out that I have been paying attention to the world's richest man for how many years?
The feeling of being recognized by the world's richest man is actually quite good.
"Mr. Su, the reason why you came to me this time is that it was too sudden. I am not mentally prepared yet. Besides, I am living quite well in Yihe." Ma Shiming thought After thinking about it, he said again.
Although Su Cheng is full of sincerity, you can't change jobs from Yihe just because of his few words.
"Mr. Ma, don't you want to know how I arranged your work when I poached you?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
"How to arrange it?" Ma Shiming couldn't help but asked curiously.
"I plan to train you to become the successor of a large company with a market value of billions." Su Cheng said directly.
“Billions of market value?” Ma Shiming thought about it in his mind.
Hutchison Whampoa?
It should be impossible. Everyone in Xiangjiang knew about Wei Li's ability. He didn't have such great ability to allow Su Cheng to drive Wei Li away and let him take over Hutchison Whampoa.
Su Group?
I have also heard of Yang Chaoye and Ma Shiming. He is a real big boss. He is a former vice president of IBM. It is impossible for him to take over his position.
Then, there is only one Hong Kong Electric Group left.
After all, there was a lot of fuss about Suzhou City taking over the Hong Kong Electric Group, and Ma Shiming naturally knew it very well.
Moreover, when Sioux City took over the Hong Kong Electric Group, Ma Shiming argued with his friends for a long time, believing that the decline of British-owned enterprises in Hong Kong was an inevitable result.
"Mr. Su, are you talking about Hong Kong Electric Group?" Ma Shiming couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Ma is really smart, he guessed right, how about it? As long as you agree, I will train you to become the successor of HK Electric Group. I trust your ability very much, a small business manager, it is really It's too much to bury your talent." Su Cheng stood up and said solemnly. "How does this cultivation work?" Su Cheng's words did not make Ma Shiming lose his mind. Instead, he asked calmly.
Ma Shiming has felt Su Cheng's sincerity, and he indeed came with sincerity.
However, Ma Shiming also understands that the word "cultivation" has too much connotation.
To put it bluntly, training may not necessarily lead to success in the end.
Just like a reserve cadre, you may not actually become a cadre in the end.
He is already 38 years old. He is no longer a young man who has just emerged from society. He cannot spend many more years in the workplace.
Perhaps because of this, he chose to resign at the age of 40 and start his own entrepreneurial career.
"Mr. Ma, I have thought up your training plan for you. As long as you agree to change jobs, I can immediately announce you to become the vice president of HK Electric Group. The president of HK Electric Group will train you so that you can quickly adapt to the high-level status. I believe that you have learned a lot of experience at Jardine over the years. If you can put these experiences into practice, I believe that Hong Kong Electric Group is very suitable for you." Su Cheng said solemnly.
38 years old is no longer young, so if Ma Shiming directly serves as vice president, Su Cheng feels that it is not too soon.
When Li Chaoren invited Ma Shiming to join Hutchison Whampoa, he directly assumed the position of general manager, second only to Li Chaoren, the actual controller.
He believes that Ma Shiming will quickly adapt to his identity and then manage the Hong Kong Electric Group better.
After all, compared with Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Electric Group is not large in scale, and its business is not as good as Hutchison Whampoa.
In another world, Ma Shiming could manage Hutchison Whampoa so well. Su Cheng believes that managing a Hong Kong Electric Group is not a problem for Ma Shiming.
Hearing Su Cheng's words, Ma Shiming showed his surprise for the first time.
Vice president, that is a position of real power.
He thought that Su City would at best let him serve as a department head first.
Unexpectedly, Su Cheng directly asked him to serve as vice president.
This time, Ma Shiming was really moved.
It feels so good to be recognized.
When he was at home, his wife was often angry about this, feeling that although he was so talented, he had no chance of promotion in Yihe.
Although Ma Shiming didn't say anything on the surface, he must have felt unfair in his heart.
For example, ten years ago, his performance surpassed that of many others and became the sales leader in the sales department.
However, when the employees in the department were promoted, it was not him, the sales leader, who was promoted, but another foreigner in his fifties.
At that time, he felt that he was still young and it didn't matter.
However, as they get older, their equally outstanding colleagues have already been promoted to the Jardine headquarters.
And he is still just a sales manager of a subsidiary company.
So what if you don’t give in?
This is the reality.
In fact, he was indeed unwilling to do so. After all, he had been working at Jardine for more than ten years.
According to the historical trend, he will stick to it for two more years to see if there is any chance of being favored by Jardine's senior management.
However, the final result will only disappoint him.
Ma Shiming, who was in another world, could only regret it. At the age of forty, he left Yihe and started his own business, until he was poached by Li Chaoren.
However, in this world, everything has changed.
