Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 424: Tear it, but do it gracefully (Part 1)

For He Zhitao, the priority over his work was reporting to his leader.

In fact, this is also one of the essential qualities of every person who is interested in self-improvement.

For example, even the class leaders in elementary school know that they must find the class teacher if there is something going on, and even if there is nothing going on, they will find a small fault with a classmate and go and whisper something to the class teacher. Not to mention professionals in the business world and the official world, who are diligent and keep in touch with their leaders more often than not, and are more likely to achieve results than those who are hardworking but lack initiative.

There are many things involved in reporting, and in fact, it is not difficult to achieve results when reporting, even if there are no results.

In Europe and the United States, where supervision is so strict, those large listed companies can make billions of dollars in profits out of nothing in their financial reports. Our leaders don't need you to produce data and reports for everything. There is so much work to do, it's not hard to find one or two things to talk about.

However, you can't just report the good news and not the bad, like a child who has grown up and left home and doesn't tell his parents about the problems. Then how are you going to get more financial, material and human support?

Feng Yiping is naturally familiar with this approach. For example, if he wants to win over a customer, he will always find reasons to meet with that customer more often and chat with them more. Over time, they will become more familiar with each other. If they can develop a friendship and start playing cards, going to the sauna, singing karaoke, and eventually eating together with their families, then Feng Yiping will not have to worry too much about business matters. If this deal does not work out, there will be hope for the next one.

Although the targets are different and the purposes are different, the methods are the same.

For someone like He Zhitao, who is actually involved in both politics and business and has just left the company's core, reporting to superiors is particularly important. And since he has taken up his new position, there have been many new initiatives, and some results have indeed been achieved. If he doesn't take this opportunity to meet with his superiors more often, he would really be foolish.

'Secretary Xu, are you busy with work at the moment?' He affectionately dialed the phone number of his boss's secretary.

'Hello, Manager He,' Secretary Xu said, as if he was answering the phone while typing at the same time. 'I'm not like you princes, I'm constantly being told to attend to important matters by my boss, so I never have any free time. By the way, my boss is very busy today and tomorrow, he has to attend several meetings with the economic and trade system and the state-owned assets bureau, so he probably won't have time,'

Without He Zhitiao having to say anything, Secretary Xu knew why he had come.

'Haha, look at what you're saying, do you think I've come for nothing? A supplier, whose brother-in-law has just opened a hot spring resort hotel, gave me a gold card. I was thinking of you. At the weekend, you can take your wife and children and nephew and go relax together.'

'Thank you, Mr He, but you know the nature of my work, it's rare to be free even if it's the weekend.'

'Your wife and children can use it too. By the way, I just found out about an osteopathic clinic with a good reputation. It's especially suitable for people like you who do a lot of desk work. What do you say, shall I pick you up in the evening?'

'I'm not free these two days. Let me see, how about this: the morning after tomorrow, you free up your schedule, and as soon as my boss is free, I'll let you know, okay!'

'Thank you very much, I'll give you the tape the day after tomorrow.' He Zhitao hung up the phone, looked at the materials on the table, and since there was still time, he could just polish them up a bit.

Jin Ling had also been busy during the two days she had been back. She hadn't had many meals with her father, and she hadn't had time to go to the grassroots level. She had talked with several law firms in the provincial capital that specialised in the commercial field. After initially deciding on one firm, she used her connections to get the layout issues for the provincial capital's metropolitan daily, evening paper, and business newspaper settled.

At a time when there were not many social media and even fewer self-media, print media space was actually a scarce resource. Especially for their kind of impromptu plan, Gao Zhiyi made several trips and accompanied them for a drink twice, but still couldn't get it done. In the end, Jinling had to step in.

After a chat with Feng Yiping, Jin Ling also realised the importance and convenience of maintaining good relations with the media. For example, if the media has a good relationship with you, it will promote you in a positive light, and when you have negative news, it will speak up for you. If you have a bad relationship with them, don't expect them to add icing to the cake; they will only add fuel to the fire when you are beset by negative news.

So this time, Jinling, who was always impatient with these social engagements, very graciously invited a number of childhood friends and friends whose parents also held important positions to join him in treating the relevant leaders of several newspapers at the Oriental Garden Hotel. This actually paved the way for the later Administrative Department.

Early the next morning, as soon as he received a call from Secretary Xu, He Zhitao rushed to the leader's office. Secretary Xu was making tea. He placed the gold card gently on the table and said, 'I heard it's quite good, go try it sometime,'

and pointed at the teacup, 'Shall I take it in?'

Secretary Xu took the card without a word, smiling and saying in a double entendre, "Thank you!'

He Zhitao, who is as tough as nails in front of his subordinates but as warm and gentle as a mother in front of his superiors, took the teacup and walked into the office, "Old leader, have some tea,' and he even helped unscrew the lid.

'He, you're here, sit down, how have the past two days been?'

'Thank you, old leader, you're so busy at work and you still care about what's going on here. It's the change of season, you must take care of your health.'

'Oh, it's fine, I'm still healthy enough to contribute for a few more years,'

'Yes, the company can't do without you, so you should pay more attention to work. As you can see, these are the reports I've compiled for the past few days. Compared to last month and the same period last year, there has been double-digit growth. And we are currently preparing to implement a new system, which will allow us to access real-time sales data as soon as it is installed.'

The leader took the few reports and looked at the conclusion at the end. 'Well, not bad. Your renovation plan is also not bad. The blue colour is better than the original one. You have opened a few new stores, right? The one diagonally opposite has just opened, hasn't it? I can see that business is good!'

He Zhi Tao and Xu, the secretary who followed, looked at each other. They were both thinking that the other store was Jiajia! But at this time, who would say these things that dampen spirits?

'In less than a quarter, there has been a significant improvement. I was right about you. Do a good job. As economic entities, we must set an example and take the lead, and set a benchmark for those private enterprises.'

...

In short, as with many previous occasions, this face-to-face report was a success. The leaders were very satisfied, so was He Zhitao, and so was Secretary Xu.

On this day, Youjia's advertisements were officially published in the provincial capital's Metropolis Daily, Evening News and Business Daily. This was the first time Youjia had advertised in a newspaper, and it was also estimated to be the last time. Youjia was also very generous in taking up an entire page for each colour advertisement. Even those readers who would flip past advertisements would spend a second or two to take a look. Then, they became interested in reading it.
