Chapter 21 A Little Thing
The person Yao Yi was looking for was Yan Wenxiang, who was the assistant of his father Yao Qi.
In most people's perception, assistants are equivalent to secretaries. In fact, the functions of the two are very different. The confidential secretary of the president of a state-owned enterprise can still hold great power like the chief secretary of the government office, while the secretary of the president of a private enterprise generally completes the most basic work under the guidance of the president.
Assistant to the president is different. In state-owned enterprises, assistants are ranks. For example, assistant to the general manager is second only to the deputy general manager. In private enterprises, assistant to the president who is valued as a key position must not only assist the president in his work, but also issue orders when the president is not here.
Putting aside the administrative secretary-type assistant, generally speaking, the president's assistant is divided into two categories. The first category has a deep qualification and is of great importance, and has the same status as the vice president. Sometimes it is even above the vice president. This type of assistant is older and has sufficient experience and wisdom, and is likely to be the successor to the president's throne.
Another type is young talents who serve as think tank functions, have a smart mind, have achieved outstanding results, are appreciated by major leaders, and put them around to try. Usually, they will be transferred to departments suitable for performance as the top leader.
Yan Wenxiang belongs to the second category. He has been with Yao Qi since he was 30 years old, never making any mistakes. However, after staying for five years, only his salary and benefits have increased, but his position has not moved. He is still the second-person of the president's assistant group. He can neither go further nor be delegated to a company under the group to be the top leader.
For a man who is in his 4th century, this career stagnation that is neither up nor down is an unspeakable torture.
From an outsider's perspective, Yao Yi saw it very clearly. In fact, his father wanted to keep Yan Wenxiang by his side, polishing and observing, observing his desire for power, and testing his moral character.
Yan Wenxiang is the prime minister who Yao Qi intends to leave to Yao Yi.
We must be the prime minister of the group. We cannot do without power, and we cannot do it too much, because neither is easy to control. More importantly, we must be loyal. We know the power of the horse and see people's hearts over time. If Yan Wenxiang suffers so much, we can remember Yao Qi's kindness to him, then Yao Qi can be assured to let Yan Wenxiang assist Yao Yi.
Unfortunately, Yan Wenxiang failed the test, which was not because he was disloyal, but because his long wait had exhausted his patience and became confused.
According to the original trajectory, Yan Wenxiang will resign in two years without regard to his resolute resolutely.
It is not only lovers who can't stand the itch for seven years.
After resigning, Yan Wenxiang rejected the invitation from his competitors of Yao's Group and returned to his hometown to start a business alone. He started from raising pigs. In just a few years, his food company was successfully listed.
In the end, Yan Wenxiang's talent and loyalty were verified, but missing is missing and can never be saved.
Contacting Yan Wenxiang for the sake of Song Youzhi's affairs was a bit of a big deal. However, Yao Yi didn't know the management of a small company like Konka at all, and secondly, he could take this opportunity to convey a message to Yan Wenxiang.
"Yao Yi?" Yan Wenxiang was obviously surprised by Yao Yi's call, "What's the matter, you said."
He called his son directly to the boss's name, and he came up straight to the topic without saying a single nonsense. The typical Yao style is indeed the one who is close to the red and the one who is close to the ink and the other is close to the black.
"A small thing shouldn't have disturbed you, but I only know you, hehe." Yao Yi fully utilized the advantages of young people being shameless and said with a smile, "That's right, I met a very energetic salesperson in the Qingquan Road sales department of Konka Company. I said I was not here to see the house, and he insisted on taking me to see the model room. I asked me why he was so persistent, and he told me a story."
Yao Yi first laid the groundwork, and then repeated Song Youzhi's words to Yan Wenxiang, but did not mention the idea of transferring positions.
Anyone with a normal mind can think that the son of the president specifically called the second assistant next to the president, which was impossible to tell a story. Yao Yi believed that Yan Wenxiang could hear the implicit sound.
Sure enough, Yan Wenxiang immediately said after hearing this: "This is an excellent sales talent. It's a pity to put it in Konka. Why not transfer it to the training for a while first. If your personal abilities are qualified, you will be put into our sales team in the future to participate in the sales work of the second and third phase of Shanghe Ark?"
Talking to smart people is easy, and you can easily talk to them.
"His name is Song Youzhi. There are no different things, and there are knowledge that can be studied and learned." Yao Yi was in a good mood and said something more, "Thank you, Assistant Yan, when I get my first salary, I will invite you to drink the old duck vermicelli soup!"
"Okay, I know there is an old shop in Linkou Lane. I heard that the taste is very good, but unfortunately I have never had time. It's just right. I'm waiting for you to treat you. OK, let me tell you this first, and I'll have someone to contact you right away."
After Yan Wenxiang finished speaking, he put down the phone and the warm smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
"Kangjia, Qingquan Road, Song Youzhi... When did the spoiled young master care about the salesperson?"
Yan Wenxiang closed his eyes, gently pinched his thumb and index finger between his eyebrows, and murmured in a low voice.
After pondering for a long time, Yan Wenxiang opened his eyes again, and his eyes were filled with excitement and joy.
He is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, otherwise he would not be valued by Yao Qi. Of course, he could guess Yao Qi's thoughts, but he was fifteen years older than Yao Yi. Moreover, judging from Yao Yi's past performance, he was not interested in taking over the group's son and inheriting his father's business, so Yan Wenxiang was in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Men's golden period is not long. If they continue like this, Yan Wenxiang has to consider finding another way out.
But now, things seem to be changing a little.
A small thing that Yao Yi said was a great thing to Yan Wenxiang.
At first I heard that Yao Yi dropped out of school, Yan Wenxiang only thought that this was a sudden whim of the noble son. Now it seems that Yao Yi has changed significantly compared to before.
Although Yan Wenxiang has little contact with Yao Yi, he believes that those who can get into Southern Associated University by himself will never be idiots. With the Yao family's family education, they will not teach a waste.
As long as Yao Yi works hard and with the resources of his father, he can grow rapidly at a speed of ten times that of his peers. Perhaps he can enter the top management in another five years, enter the decision-making level in another ten years, or even be the vice president.
ten years.
Ten years later, Yan Wenxiang was forty-five years old and was not considered old.
"Assistant Yan, why are you so happy?"
Yan Wenxiang looked in the direction of the voice, without hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Xiao Gu, please check the Konka Qingquan Road sales department. There is a salesperson named Song Youzhi. Please say hello to Konka and transfer him over."
After saying that, Yan Wenxiang remembered another thing.
Mr. Yao once said that Yao Yi would find a job in a company under the group and start from the bottom. Since Yao Yi would find Konka’s Qingquan Road sales department, it means that Yao Yi would likely be looking for a job at Konka. He would contact the property consultant, which means that his job search intention is likely to be in sales.
Should I check which Konka branch has a job opening for real estate consultant?
After thinking about it again and again, Yan Wenxiang shook his head and gave up this idea.
