Reborn since 1993

Chapter 449 How Artists Are Trained

The auditorium gradually became quiet. In such an occasion, Li Dongling could say such words, which made all the department managers, supervisors, and employee representatives of Dongling Hi-Tech feel that Li Dongling was not joking.

Song Yajun, Tao Zhiliang and other Dongling Hi-Tech executives, who are also the backbone of the company, could not help but speculate on the meaning of Li Dongling's words.

Li Dongling was giving Dongling Hi-Tech a heads-up in advance for the storm that would come in the second half of the year and next year.

Although Li Dongling had Dongling Hi-Tech start preparing for the storm that Soros and Wall Street were about to bring about since last year, it is hard to say that there is anything foolproof in this world.

It is impossible to say that Dongling Hi-Tech will not be affected at all, especially since a large part of its revenue is overseas. Once problems arise in Southeast Asia or even Asia, there is basically no hope for revenue from this area.

Therefore, Li Dongling needs to remind everyone in Dongling Hi-Tech that they should at least be mentally prepared and not fight a battle without confidence, otherwise they will surely fall flat on their face!
“It’s not as if we were old friends. I hope that next year’s annual meeting of Dongling Hi-Tech will be the same as usual, and I hope to see familiar faces at the annual meeting again!”

Hearing Li Dongling's words, many executives in the auditorium showed worry in their eyes. They knew Li Dongling's style well, and he seldom spoke without purpose. Since he said this, there must be some hidden story.

Song Yajun, the former workhorse, also looked at Tao Zhiliang, and both of them showed a deep sense of uneasiness in their eyes.

They have suffered and experienced not being able to get their wages, being laid off, and their families worrying about their livelihoods. They have even gone hungry, but they don't want to go back to the days before. They are the ones who least want anything to happen to Dongling Hi-Tech.

When Li Dongling went down, Ren Yuefeng came up and spoke a few words to several other senior executives, and the entire annual meeting began.

Unlike previous years, starting this year, the performances on stage at the Dongling Hi-Tech Annual Meeting will be mainly invited performance guests, including provincial drama troupes, circuses, crosstalk performances, etc.

However, it can be seen from the reactions from the audience that these most popular programs in previous years can no longer attract the attention of young people. The response to their performances is mediocre. Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Tao Zhiliang and others can still watch them, but the young employees of Dongling Hi-Tech are all busy eating!
On the contrary, when Shen Yunjun, the Super Girl champion from Hanxi, appeared on the stage, there was a huge cheer from the audience. It can be seen that the current entertainment trend has completely changed.

While the performance was going on on the stage, dishes began to be served one after another. Xifeng Liquor, Wuliangye and even Moutai and red wine were all served, and the atmosphere became hot.

"Please welcome Mr. Zhang Ao, the Marketing Manager of Aventurine Hi-Tech, to the stage to announce the first Aventurine Hi-Tech Outstanding Employee of the Year and his award!"

The host from Pingyang TV on the stage, who was acting as the host of the annual meeting, shouted to the audience during the show, attracting the attention of everyone in the auditorium.

Dressed in a suit, Zhang Ao, who is now reported in the media as Li Dongling's right-hand man, helping Dongling Hi-Tech to charge into battle and build half of the business, walked up.

He is also regarded by the media as the best marketing and publicity manager in Asia. He led the case of Shenzhou digital cordless telephone against Siemens, which was written into the MBA case of Harvard Business School.

Also present today were some relevant personnel from the Pingyang Municipal Government, including some people who are familiar with Zhang Ao's family. Looking at the current Zhang Ao, they couldn't help but sigh that fate plays tricks on people and heroes are made by the times.

The people who used to just idle away their time at the Xicheng Wireless Factory are now described in media reports as the ones who saved the collapsing building and turned the tide. This is the standard history book of the winner.

However, people who thought of this could not help but tui about the bankrupt Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1. Just look at how many senior executives of Dongling Hi-Tech are now from Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1, and who founded Dongling Hi-Tech? As a result, Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 did not employ any of these people back then. It deserved to go bankrupt.

However, there are many more people who can't help but wonder, if they had joined Dongling Hi-Tech earlier like Zhang Ao, Gao Peng, Song Yajun, Tao Zhiliang, etc., what would the situation be like today? !

"The person who won the first outstanding employee of Tanglin Hi-Tech in 1995 is... Song Yajun!"

Seeing the name on the note, Zhang Ao couldn't help but smile and shouted to the audience that he and Song Yajun were old acquaintances. They were both in the technical department of Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1.

Song Yajun is peeling hairy crabs for his wife and children. This is a new dish served at this year's annual meeting. Currently, the trend of eating this thing has not yet emerged in Hanxi.

In fact, expensive things may never be cheap. Now the price of hairy crabs from good production areas is 180 yuan per catty, ordinary crabs are around 80 yuan, and inferior ones are 30 or 40 yuan.

Artificially farmed hairy crabs are also expensive. A salaried working family can only eat two or three kilograms of hairy crabs, and ten kilograms of crabs. If you really count them, it will take more than ten years for most families to be able to afford them. As for the rumor that the poor could only eat hairy crabs as a meal, it is nonsense. Even in the Republic of China, hairy crabs were valuable, much more valuable than fish. Most fishermen would not eat them themselves, but would sell them to wealthy families in exchange for food, cloth, etc.

Song Yajun, who was cooking hairy crabs, was still in his daze for a while. Tao Zhiliang, who was standing next to him, touched him with his arm. Song Yajun finally came to his senses, wiped his hands quickly, and walked towards the stage.

"Congratulations, Lao Song!"

Zhang Ao said to Song Yajun who was coming up to the stage, and handed a small gold-plated trophy to the somewhat bewildered Song Yajun. This trophy was similar to the crystal trophy for outstanding company employees in his previous life, but Dongling Hi-Tech made it gold-plated. If the gold powder was scraped off, it would be no problem to sell it for a few thousand dollars.

"This year, the prize for the outstanding employees of Dongling Hi-Tech is a Santana, or a bonus of the same value as the product!"

After Zhang Ao handed the gold-plated trophy to Song Yajun, he spoke again. When the audience heard that there was also a Santana sedan as a prize, they immediately went wild.

There are two mainstream Santana models now. One is the ordinary model, priced at 13 yuan, and the other is the Santana 8 model, which is equipped with an electronic fuel injection engine and metallic paint, and priced at 2000 yuan!

But no matter it is the ordinary model or the new Santana 2000, the price is more than yuan. It cannot compare with the BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Nissan Duke which cost one million yuan. But it is already an existence that ordinary families desire but cannot reach. If someone drives one back home in the city, he will definitely be the focus of the entire community. The aunties in the community will definitely compete to introduce a wife to him. In the countryside, he will also be the most watched handsome man in the surrounding area.

Such a large home appliance worth hundreds of thousands of dollars as a reward is enough to make countless people envious!
Song Yajun looked at the outstanding employee trophy and the car keys in his hand, and the middle-aged man's eyes turned slightly red.

What he cared about was not the car. With his current salary, he could afford a Santana by gritting his teeth and taking out a loan.

What the old workhorse cares about most is the trophy for outstanding employee. You know, he and another old workhorse Zhou Wenyan, who is now the technical manager of Torch Group, were the most hardworking and dedicated people in the technical department of Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1.

But they never got any benefits. They were the ones who had to do all the hard work and sometimes even had to take the blame. Song Yajun and his colleagues could endure the hardship, but what kept him awake at night was that the technical department of Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 and the entire factory had never recognized their technology and had never taken anything done by Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 seriously.

What he had worked for more than ten years at Xicheng Wireless Factory 1 but had not achieved, he now got it at Dongling Hi-Tech. No matter how others see it, for Song Yajun, this trophy is more like a recognition of his career, letting him know that all these years have not been in vain. He was filled with mixed feelings for the moment.

"Snapped!"

Li Dongling, who was below, saw Song Yajun with red eyes and started to applaud first. Then Chen Tao, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian and others all started to applaud. Finally, the whole auditorium stopped the noise and burst into applause.

Looking at Song Yajun, Li Dongling sighed in his heart. Although Song Yajun and Zhou Wenyan's style of doing things seemed a bit out of date with this era and they were not so flexible, any technology-based company was supported by Song Yajun, Zhou Wenyan, and Chen Tao.

Only when they leave does anyone seem to notice their existence, just like in some units and companies, when the people who actually do the work leave, some projects are directly suspended.

There were also times when the rockets failed to take off after being launched continuously. Only then did they start to get anxious and anxious to get the people who had escaped back. But it also showed that until then, they had never paid attention to who was actually doing the work...

At Dongling Hi-Tech, Li Dongling cannot allow such a thing to happen. Dongling Hi-Tech cannot mistreat those technical personnel who are not good at speaking, not flexible, and cannot handle the ways of the world.

Dongling Hi-Tech has always followed a rule that if the management wants to increase salaries or distribute equity incentives, they must distribute them together with the technical staff!
Song Yajun stood on the stage, looking at the applause from below. With red eyes, he opened his mouth several times, but in the end he did not express any thoughts. He never thought that one day he would experience such a scene, nor did he ever think about what he would say in such a scene.

Song Yajun just cast a grateful look in the direction of Li Dongling, then suddenly raised the trophy above his head with relief, waved it downwards, then walked down and continued to peel hairy crabs for his wife and children.

"Other companies will no longer be able to poach a technician from Dongling Hi-Tech. From now on, which technician will not work hard for the boss?"

Hu Zixian, who saw this scene, couldn't help but whispered to Ren Yuefeng. Then, turning around, he saw Chen Tao, who was in charge of the technical department, looking at Li Dongling with a completely changed expression. It was the kind of expression that was like "A man will die for his friend if he meets a good master." Also, the expressions of the technical staff in the auditorium looking at Li Dongling made him shudder suddenly.

Even if you are just pretending to be courteous to others, what if you can pretend for the rest of your life?
A hypocrite pretends to be a gentleman until his death; you can only say that he is a true gentleman. An artist once said that he has loved art since he was a child, and art is all about pretending, but he succeeded in pretending. No one said that he was bragging, but that he was a real artist!
