Life 1984

Chapter 547 Annual Meeting

Lin Xiaofeng and Zhao Jinping are both vice presidents of Sihai Group and can be regarded as Li Yunhai's right-hand men.

These two people are in charge of different work areas, one is in charge of sales and the other is in charge of foreign trade business. However, the two businesses are inextricably linked. In the final analysis, foreign trade business is also a part of sales. Moreover, there is a competition mechanism within the company, and comparisons will also be made between the domestic and overseas departments. Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng and Zhao Jinping will also secretly compete with each other.

However, Lin Xiaofeng is not only the vice president of the group, but also Lin Zhi's aunt, and also a shareholder of the group. Although she does not hold a large number of shares, she is still a shareholder.

As for Zhao Jinping, he was a local snake in Xizhou. He had become famous in Xizhou long before Li Yunhai became famous.

Li Yunhai had known about the feud between the two of them for a long time and was happy to see it happen.

Doing business requires harmony, but the way of serving is about balance.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng and Zhao Jinping had differences over the annual meeting plan. Li Yunhai did not immediately express his support for which side, but asked them to come up with their own plans.

After Lin Xiaofeng and Zhao Jinping left, they mobilized their most capable subordinates to make plans for the annual meeting.

When the company holds its first annual meeting, it is of course of great significance whose plan is adopted.

In addition, Li Yunhai also asked the company's human resources and administrative departments to come up with plans for the annual meeting.

A few days later, several departments came up with annual meeting plans and handed them over to Li Yunhai for review.

The driver said: "You can see billboards like this everywhere in Xizhou. Airports, train stations, bus stations, bus stops, on the roofs of high-rise buildings..."

The prosperity of Gongli has driven the sales of Sihai Group.

In order to better coordinate the time, the annual meeting will be held from two o'clock in the afternoon on New Year's Day in 1992. Various activities will be held in the hotel, dinner will start at five o'clock, and activities will be held in Jiangnan at six o'clock.

In advertising production during this period, no matter how big the company was, they would print their main products on a large inkjet cloth.

After getting into the taxi, the translator said to the driver: "Sihai Group." The driver knew it without even saying the detailed address.

Abbot and others did see many Sihai Group billboards.

After seeing the administrative department's plan, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

All the way to the headquarters of Sihai Group.

Abt said there was no need to pick him up, we would take a taxi.

Li Yunhai thought Aibute was joking, but he didn't expect him to be so serious and come to Xizhou so quickly.

After hearing this, Abut nodded repeatedly and asked, "Is Sihai Group famous?"

The requirements for participating in annual meeting activities have been relaxed to include factory team leaders and above and administrative staff at the headquarters. In principle, all can participate.

This time when he came to negotiate, Abot brought a translator who knew Chinese.

The translator translated the driver's words to him.

"The headquarters building of Sihai Group! All of us who drive taxis know this." The driver smiled and said to the foreigner, "Eight out of ten foreigners who come to Xizhou come to Sihai Group. There is only Sihai Group in our province. Doing the best in foreign trade.”

In addition, outstanding employees and outstanding individuals, regardless of rank, can participate in the annual meeting.

Abt asked the translator: "What is he talking about?"

After Li Yunhai read it, he felt that the design plan of the administrative department was the most suitable, so he adopted it.

Lin Xiaofeng and Zhao Jinping both held back their energy and wanted to compete in the annual meeting plan, but neither of them was adopted by Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai asked various departments to assist the administrative department in organizing this annual meeting.

In fact, most of those who can work at the headquarters have salaries above the P13 level.

He told Aibt the address of the company and asked why didn't you tell me earlier? I can send a car to pick you up at the airport.

In order to successfully host the first annual meeting, the company has been busy, inviting high-quality dealers and partners to participate in the event, notifying internal employees of the company, and coordinating the duty hours on New Year's Day.

Abut led his people to Xizhou Airport, and now rushed over to meet Li Yunhai and ask for the specific address.

The company's annual meeting is nothing more than leadership speeches, recognition of outstanding employees, performances, lottery draws, meals and entertainment.

As the driver spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the billboard outside.

Sihai Group has a very rich product line, but their advertisements are not printed on a piece of cloth in a swarm. Instead, each billboard only advertises one product.

"It's famous! Sihai Group is famous all over the world! Not to mention Xizhou, it's famous across the country! I don't know how famous it is abroad."

Longteng computers, Sihai copiers and printers, these major products, each have different exquisite print advertisements. Several billboards are erected in a conspicuous position, and everyone who walks out of the airport can see them immediately.

It turns out that there is nothing outstanding about the administrative department's plan, it just combines the strengths of both.

That afternoon, Li Yunhai returned to the office from his inspection work in the park and received a call from Mr. Philips Abbot.

The taxi driver couldn't understand English, so the translator had to translate.

The car drove quickly into the city.

The plan of the administrative department is to hold all the previous programs in the large conference room of the hotel, and the subsequent free entertainment time will be held in the Jiangnan Club.

The content and design of these advertisements are different, but without exception they all have one spokesperson, and that is Gong Li.

The group's annual meeting is led by the Administration Department and the Human Resources Department, and members of other relevant departments form a planning group to clarify the division of responsibilities of each department and determine the time nodes and plans for the planning work.

Abbot saw several large billboards with main pillars outside the airport, all advertising Sihai Group.

The annual meeting sets certain thresholds. Firstly, the venue is limited, and secondly, it can also create competition.

Abt got out of the car, looked up at the four towering buildings, and shook his thin suit with great emotion.

The success of Sihai Group has also made Gong Li known to more people.

At this time, he saw a familiar face.

Li Yunhai led his people to greet them at the gate.

Aibte is in high spirits!

I remember that when Li Yunhai went to Philips to discuss business, he was not treated so well. He was the first to go and was even rejected.

Compared with the arrogance and rudeness of foreigners, Li Yunhai seems much more polite.

Su Hong felt that Li Yunhai did not need to be polite to others, and there was no need to ask Philips for cooperation anyway.

Li Yunhai replied calmly: We are a country of etiquette! We treat them with courtesy, and what we show is our style and magnanimity!

Su Hong had nothing to say.

When Li Yunhai saw Aibt, he walked up to him with a smile, shook hands with him, and said, "Welcome Mr. Aibt to Sihai Group!"

Abt smiled and said: "Mr. Li, Sihai Group is very big, much bigger than I thought."

Li Yunhai asked: "Mr. Abt has come all the way, have you found a hotel?"

"Oh, not yet. Do you know any hotel recommendations in Xizhou?"

"Then let's stay at the Tianhua Sihai Hotel here? This is a five-star hotel."

"it is good!"

Li Yunhai first asked Su Hong to accompany them to a hotel to check in.

After welcoming Abbott and his party, Li Yunhai returned to the office to work.

He was in no rush to discuss business with Abbot.

In the evening, he treated Aibt and others to dinner and took them to several attractions near the night market street.

The next day, Li Yunhai arranged for Lin Xiaofeng to entertain Aibte again, but still did not take the initiative to discuss business.

Lin Xiaofeng took Aibte and the others around Xizhou City, visited the Provincial Museum and the infinite scenery of Shanshuizhou City, and sent them to the hotel in the evening.

Abut couldn't sit still and said to Lin Xiaofeng: "Mr. Lin, when will we start negotiations?"

Lin Xiaofeng said: "Mr. Abt, isn't Xizhou fun?"

"Xizhou is fun, but we are here to discuss cooperation with your company, not to travel. We come with the company's mission, and we can't just travel all the time."

"Mr. Li's order is for me to accompany you and have fun first."

"Okay, we've had enough fun. Mr. Lin, when can Mr. Li be free? I want to see him."

"Mr. Li has been busy with the company's annual meeting recently. He told me that tomorrow is New Year's Day, which is the first day of the New Year. This is a very special holiday. Our company is about to hold an annual meeting, and he wants to invite you. Participate. As for other work, after New Year’s Day, General Manager Li will arrange time to meet with you.”

"Annual meeting? Oh, okay, we will definitely attend."

"Okay, then you guys have a good rest and we'll see you tomorrow."

After sending Lin Xiaofeng away, Abbot called back to the headquarters in the Netherlands and made a work report to the directors.

From Li Yunhai's calm attitude, Aibte felt the arduous task of this trip.

Li Yunhai asked for help before, but Philips ignored him. Now they came to ask Li Yunhai for cooperation. On the surface, Li Yunhai was polite, but in fact, he kept a respectful distance and had no intention of negotiating with them.

It is true that this world is like this: everything that is rushed is not business, and what is easily obtained will not be cherished.

But the initiative lies in Li Yunhai's hands, and it's useless for Aibte to be anxious. He can't even see Li Yunhai.

On New Year's Day, Sihai Group was in a festive mood.

The annual meeting is a carnival party for the company.

This day was originally a rest day.

Li Yunhai spent the morning with his family at home and went to Lin's house for dinner at noon.

Because Lin Zhenbang was busy with work, he did not return to Xizhou on New Year's Day.

After Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi accompanied Tang Yuxia to dinner, they came to the company.

Members of the planning team responsible for the annual meeting came one by one to report to Li Yunhai.

Everything is ready and will start promptly at two o'clock in the afternoon.

When the time came, Li Yunhai, accompanied by the vice presidents, went to the annual meeting.

Bright banners were hung on the tall porch of the hotel, a welcome sign was placed in front of the door, a flower arch stood at the door, and there were hostesses in cheongsam on both sides of the door.

When Li Yunhai and others walked to the door, the etiquette lady bowed down and shouted in unison: "Welcome Mr. Li!"

Chen Hong stood in the lobby to greet him.

She was wearing a white cotton skirt and a tight black sweater, elegant and fashionable.

"Mr. Li, please come this way." Chen Hongming's eyes were bright and his voice was gentle.

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "Why are you here to welcome guests?"

"The company arranged for me to do this job." Chen Hongyan said with a smile, "Maybe they think my image is not bad!"

"Haha, your image is more than good. You are so beautiful and fragrant that the flowers are ashamed of you!" Li Yunhai was not stingy with his words of praise.

Chen Hong's pretty face blushed slightly and glanced at Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi, with her big belly, was smiling and chatting with Shen Xiulan next to her. She seemed not to mind what her husband just said.

Chen Hong felt relieved when he saw his wife like this.

To be a celebrity's wife, you really need an extremely strong heart.

Come to the big conference room.

There were a lot of people inside, most of them employees of the company, and a few of them were dealer representatives and partners.

As soon as Li Yunhai entered the venue, the music changed accordingly, playing a more vigorous and fast-paced joyful march.

A loud shout came from the speakers at the same time: "Welcome Mr. Li Yunhai, Chairman of Sihai Group!"

Everyone stood up, turned around and looked at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai waved to everyone: "Hello everyone!"

The audience burst into loud applause and shouts: "Hello, Mr. Li!"

Li Yunhai walked to the front seat calmly.

Everyone came up to shake hands with him.

Abbot and others are among them.

"Oh, Mr. Li, I finally see you again! You are such a busy man!" Abt held Li Yunhai's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would disappear again if he let go.

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Abt, today is our company's annual meeting. Please attend it together. Welcome. I hope you have a good time."

"Mr. Li, I have told Mr. Lin that I hope our two families will start new negotiations as soon as possible." Abut knew that the other party was very busy and did not want to waste every second.

"Mr. Abt, is there anything else we need to negotiate? We welcome you to come to Xizhou for travel and inspection, and we will arrange everything."

"No, Mr. Li, we are not here for tourism, we are here to negotiate with you. When you left the Netherlands, I told you that I would definitely come to negotiate with you again."

"It seems that we don't have any projects to cooperate on, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, we want to get your company's chips——"

Li Yunhai waved his hand, interrupted the other party rudely, and said: "Today is New Year's Day, and it is our company's annual meeting, which is equivalent to the carnival celebrated by you Westerners. So we won't talk about official business today. What's the matter? Let’s talk about it during work tomorrow, okay?”

Abt shrugged helplessly: "OK, OK, let's meet tomorrow. What time will we talk tomorrow?"

Li Yunhai pointed to Su Hong beside him: "You can contact my secretary for the specific time. She will arrange my time."

After saying that, he went to chat with the others.

Abut quickly asked Su Hong for her contact number, and asked what time Li Yunhai would be free tomorrow?

Su Hong thought for a while and said, "Mr. Abt, unfortunately, Mr. Li's schedule is full tomorrow. If you want to see him, you have to wait until at least three days."

"Oh, my God!" Abt said with his hands on his forehead, "Why do you have to wait so long? I hope to start a new round of negotiations as soon as possible. I can't wait."

Although Su Hong didn't have an itinerary with her, she remembered it clearly and immediately told Li Yunhai's arrangements for the past few days, including which important leaders he would meet tomorrow and what important meetings he would have the day after tomorrow.

Abt was dumbfounded and said that we only need half an hour. Please be sure to arrange half an hour for us as soon as possible, day or night.

Su Hong then said that Mr. Li was only free during lunch and rest.

Aibte said that he would invite Mr. Li to have dinner with him at noon!

Su Hong said that she would have to ask Mr. Li for instructions before she could reply.

Abut said thank you for your hard work, please remember our things.

There was a joyful and festive atmosphere at the venue. The venue was decorated with traditional paper-cutting and lanterns, coupled with new elements such as balloons and lights, making it bright and prosperous.

Li Yunhai met with Guo Wanhua, Gong Jie, Zhu Lin and others who came from afar.

This is a public place. When we meet each other, we just shake hands and have a few serious conversations. We don't even dare to show our heart with a look, for fear of being caught.

Someone was taking pictures at the scene!

Gong Li was invited to be the host of the annual meeting.

Gong Li wore a long cheongsam with a golden embroidered phoenix, showing off her exquisite and convex figure.

Especially her majestic bust, voluptuous waist, flowing style, tall and beautiful, she is the center of attention wherever she goes.

Although Zhu Lin and Gong Jie have retired from the film industry for many years, their legends are still there, and their fans are still there, so there is an endless stream of people looking for their autographs.

After a period of commotion, the annual meeting officially began.

Li Yunhai took the stage and delivered a speech on behalf of the company.

"Dear guests and dear family members from all over the world, hello everyone! I am Li Yunhai. On this New Year's Day when we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, I would like to thank you all for taking the time to attend and be invited to attend the first event held by our company despite your busy schedule at the end of the year. Annual meeting! I would like to express my most sincere gratitude and heartfelt wishes! I wish all guests and friends good physical and mental health and happy families in the new year!”

The applause from the audience sounded like thunder.

Li Yunhai gave a speech on the stage, while Lin Zhi, Shen Xiulan and others sat in the audience.

This annual meeting uses a round table layout, with ten people sitting at each table, which is similar to the layout of the Spring Festival Gala.

Guo Wanhua, Zhu Lin and Gong Jie were all sitting at the same table with Lin Zhi, Shen Xiulan and others.

This table is full of female celebrities in the company.

Lin Zhi chatted and laughed with them, talking about the children the most.

Zhu Lin proposed that when everyone is free, bring the children out for a party.

Lin Zhi said okay, it's best to bring out those men you are hiding behind and let us see the world, right?

Zhu Lin and Gong Jie looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Where can they find men?

Shen Xiulan doesn't have a man either.

Of the women on this table, only Lin Zhi has a regular partner.

How did Lin Zhi know the story behind this?

She smiled again and said: "Sister Zhu, Sister Gong, it's true for you, today is such a festive day, why don't you bring your men out?"

Zhu Lin looked at Gong Jie, wanting to hear what she had to say.

Gong Jie smiled shyly and didn't think of anything to say for a while.

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you looking for big shots? Can't you bring them out so we can get to know them?"
