Sail across the sea

Chapter 248 What Should We Call Him?

"Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Bob Hatch, a student of Harvard Business School in the United States and an investment specialist of Hatch Investment Group in the United States.

"About Hatch Group's investment of US$150 million in Canghua Vitamin Factory and its acquisition of 10% equity, Mr. Gu has already introduced to you. Mr. Bob will represent Hatch Group as CSO in Canghua Vitamin Factory in the future. .”

This is the second day after Gao Fan took Bob back to Cangtang County. In the small conference room of Canghua Science and Trade Company, a subsidiary of Canghai Chemical Fertilizer Factory, Gao Fan hosted the first high-level meeting of Canghua Vitamin Factory. Manage plenary meetings.At the beginning of the meeting, Gao Fan grandly introduced Bob to everyone.

The so-called Canghua Vitamin Factory has only existed in Gao Fan's mouth so far.Gao Fan originally did not intend to set up an independent vitamin factory. The vitamin E business he envisioned was just a business department of Canghua Technology and Trade Company.

But change is always faster than planned.Hatch Group wanted to invest in Canghua Technology and Trade Company, but Gao Fan didn’t want it to get involved too deeply, so he made up a vitamin factory, only allowing Hatch Group to invest in the vitamin factory, and Canghua Technology and Trade became the owner of the vitamin factory. controlling shareholder.

The advantage of this design is that Canghua Technology and Trade Company can maintain its independence and prevent the company's core secrets from being known to outsiders.Bob didn't understand the situation at first, but after asking someone, he knew what was going on.However, he didn't have any complaints. After all, this kind of operation is nothing new in the mall.

Although the vitamin factory does not actually exist, Gao Fan was able to hold such an executive meeting in a decent manner. The executives attending the meeting are actually the entire team of Canghua Technology and Trade.

Canghua Technology and Trade is owned by Canghai Chemical Fertilizer Factory with 60% shares. Therefore, the director of Canghai Fertilizer Factory, that is, Gao Yiping, Gao Fan’s father, is the chairman of Canghua Technology and Trade. He's running too fast so as not to grab everyone's stuff.

Gao Fan is the general manager of Canghua Technology and Trade, and Gu Kunquan is the executive deputy general manager.Gao Fan is not good at business management and lacks experience in dealing with relevant government departments, so Gu Kunquan, the executive vice president, is the person who is really in charge of the company's daily affairs. Gao Fan's main task is to determine the company's strategy and be in charge of the company's management. technology R & D.

Further down, there are three supervisors, namely Xie Qin, Xue Chujiang and Ning Mo.Canghua Technology and Trade Company originated as a labor service company for a fertilizer factory, and so far the main personnel are still the unemployed young people in the past.

The unemployed young people used to do nothing more than landscaping in the factory area, selling popsicles in summer, and it was impossible to see who had better management skills than the other.After Gao Fan took over the labor service company, he unceremoniously adopted the practice of nepotism, and promoted Xie Qin and other young people who had a good relationship with him to supervisors, which can be regarded as entering the company's management.

Doing things like management sounds tall, but it is actually a skilled job.As long as the character is passable and there is a little sense of responsibility, whoever is put in this position for a period of time can do a good job.

Xie Qin and the others were exactly like this, because they were picked out by Gao Fan to be supervisors, and after working for half a year, they looked a bit like supervisors.As the saying goes, there are no generals in Sichuan, and Liao Hua is a pioneer. Since Canghua Company has no available personnel, these executives were called by Gao Fan to serve as company executives, at least to make Bob feel that the company is quite large. Bar.

Another person who attended the executive meeting was Liao Derong, an engineer hired by Gao Fan from the Provincial Chemical Engineering Design Institute.Gao Fan hired him here to be responsible for the development of new vitamin E technology. Now that the vitamin factory is going to be established, Gao Fan conveniently gave him the title of chief engineer of the vitamin factory.Anyway, given his age and experience, he always seemed more reliable than Xie Qin and others.

Regarding Hatch Group's investment in the company, Gao Fan had already informed Gao Yiping and Gu Kunquan by phone a few days ago, and also mentioned that Bob was coming to the company.Now, seeing Bob with a high nose and blue eyes sitting in the conference room, everyone still feels somewhat uncomfortable.

"Gao Fan, what did you say that Mr. Bao is in the factory?"

Ning Mo was the first to ask questions. He has always had a heartless temperament. If he doesn't understand something, he will ask questions directly, and he doesn't care whether the occasion is suitable.However, the question he asked was indeed something that everyone was concerned about. It was just that it was inconvenient for everyone to ask the question due to the presence of foreign guests.

"CSO, Chief_Strategy_Officer, the translation is called Chief Strategy Officer."

Gao Fan spoke nonsense seriously.He first said that Bob could be the company's CSO. The S is the pinyin abbreviation of "what", which is purely a joke.

"What shall we call him from now on? We don't understand English." Ning Mo said nervously.

Bob rushed to reply: "It's okay, you can call me by my first name, my name is Bob, Bob Hatch, you can also call me Curiosity..."

"Cough!" Gao Fan coughed heavily, interrupting Bob's madness. He said to everyone: "Bob is a person who loves to learn. He is learning Chinese by himself, and he is learning it very quickly, so everyone will use it in the future. You can communicate with him in Chinese.

"As for the address, everyone can call him Bob directly. Foreigners don't pay much attention to titles."

"Gao Fan, I think it's better to give Mr. Bob a name." Gao Yiping reminded, "We are familiar with each other internally, so it doesn't matter how you call him, but if you face workers, and in the future, if superior leaders and customers come to visit , let’s just call them by name, it will make others think.”

"Director Gao is right." Gu Kunquan echoed, "Just now Xiao Gao said that Mr. Bob is the chief strategy officer of the company, and from now on he will call Mr. Bob, uh..."

Speaking of which, he's stuck.From his initial thought, he thought that Bob could be called chief, but when he got to the point of speaking, he suddenly realized that the title "chief" could not be called casually.If Bob is the chief, what are Gao Yiping, Gao Fan, and Gu Kunquan?Will everyone mistakenly think that Bob is the leader of the company?
Gao Fan saw what Gu Kunquan was thinking, and he said with a smile: "The position of Chief Strategy Officer can also be translated differently, called Strategy Director, or Bob will be called Director Bao in the future."

"I agree!" Bob held up a hand in agreement.For him, entangled in addressing is really a troublesome thing, since Gao Fan proposed a plan, he accepted it.

Gao Yiping and Gu Kunquan exchanged glances, and Gu Kunquan took the lead in clapping his hands.Everyone clapped along, officially accepting Bob as a member of the management team.
