Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 716 Turning Pressure into Motivation
"Not bad, what reward do you want this year?"

Zhou Jing said after looking at the sales data of Ideal smartphones.

Bai Xiyao thought for a moment and said, "Give your daughter to me."

"I can't decide that. It's no problem for me to help you have one."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"I want what you have now." Bai Xiyao glanced at the second floor of the villa and said, "Didn't you bring Chen Jiaqian with you?"

"No."

Zhou Jing picked up a red apple, broke it in half and gave half to Bai's best friend.

“Next year’s smartphone marketing plan is also included here.”

Bai Xiyao took the apple, took a bite, pointed at the file bag on the table and said.

"Don't worry, how do you plan your year-end summary?"

Zhou Jing put the file bag aside.

It is already December, and there is not much time left in the 2013 solar calendar. In December, each company will hold a summary and annual meeting. It is the busiest time of the year for Zhou Jing. This month Zhou Jing has to keep running around.

Bai Xiyao said, "The ideal annual meeting will be held on any day between the 25th and 30th. The year-end summary will be held after the New Year's Day holiday. It depends on your specific schedule."

"Let's hold the annual meeting on the 29th!"

Zhou Jing will attend the annual meetings of Ideal Technology and Chuangzhi Technology. He will attend the Ideal Technology annual meeting on the 29th and go back to attend Chuangzhi Technology's on the 30th. The annual meeting will end just after New Year's Day. As for other companies, Zhou Jing will not attend the annual meetings of P Station and Starlight Games. He will attend Tangdu Zhirui Communications and Chuangzhi Technology branch depending on the schedule.

Zhou Jing will attend the Suzhou Taiwei Semiconductor Annual Meeting.

Whether Zhou Jing attends or not attends important activities of his company depends on the importance of the company.

The importance of Ideal Technology as the core of revenue is self-evident.

Chuangzhi Technology is the software core of Zhou Jing's company and is also very important.

Taiwei Semiconductor carries the future of Zhou Jing's business empire. Whether Zhou Jing can be strong in the future depends on whether Taiwei Semiconductor can produce high-process chips with its self-developed lithography machines.

Zhou Jing now owns more than ten companies, including a software service company in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Silicon Valley and India. The electronics factory invested in Malaysia is about to be completed, and the Ideal Technology Artificial Intelligence European R&D Center invested by France is under construction.

Zhou Jing's net worth totals over hundreds of billions of yuan, making him the youngest billionaire in China.

"How about this, Ideal's annual meeting will be on the 26th, and Taiwei Semiconductor's annual meeting will be on the 28th."

Zhou Jing thought about it and changed his mind. He decided to go to Suzhou after the Ideal Annual Meeting and return to BJ directly after attending the Taiwei Semiconductor Annual Meeting.

"Okay, will the year-end bonus and dividends be distributed in the same way as last year?"

Bai Xiyao can change the date at any time.

"Let's change it. The year-end bonus will be based on three months' salary. For dividends, those who have shares will be based on shares, and for those who don't have shares, an appropriate amount will be set."

Zhou Jing does not limit the company's dividends to those who have shares, but also takes care of those without shares. Those without shares are mainly the offline store clerks of Ideal Technology. Currently, there are only more than 2,700 employees in the six or seven hundred offline stores of Ideal Technology. If each person is given a dividend of 10,000, it will only be more than 20 million. This amount of money is not worth mentioning compared to the figure that Zhou Jing has to pay out at least 5 billion in dividends.

"Then the dividend for those without shares is set at 10,000 to 30,000, depending on performance, how about that?"

Bai Xiyao nodded. Ideal Technology's year-end bonus and dividends are mainly used for Ideal Technology, Chuangzhi Technology BJ headquarters and all R&D teams under Ideal Technology. The profits of P Station, Starlight Youke, Chuangzhi Technology Tangdu Branch, Taiwei Semiconductor and other companies are enough to operate the company. There are nearly 20,000 employees in all its subsidiaries. The 5 billion year-end bonuses and dividends spent by Ideal Technology need to cover about 10,000 people.

"Yes, we must also continue to improve the service and marketing level of offline store staff."

Zhou Jing had no objection. The year-end bonus for offline store clerks was at least more than 9,000 yuan for three months, plus a guaranteed dividend of 10,000 yuan, which was nearly 20,000 yuan. No mobile phone manufacturer treated offline store employees as well as Ideal Technology.

Ideal Technology's offline store is the most popular among job seekers among all mobile phone manufacturer stores.

"Well, the marketing department attaches great importance to the business level of offline stores."

When Bai Xiyao passes by Ideal offline stores, she often wears a mask and pretends to be a passerby visiting incognito. She takes Zhou Jing's proposal last year that "quality and service are the best marketing" very seriously, requiring the production department to strictly control quality and the marketing department to put service first. After more than a year of hard work, Ideal's service has won the hearts of the people.

"Next year's target is 70 million smartphones, which means 5 to 6 million smartphones per month. Is that too much pressure?"

Zhou Jing took out the file bag and said, "2014 Marketing Plan."

"To be honest, it's quite big. The sales volume in December exceeded 4 million units. The growth rate has slowed down after reaching a certain level. Next year will be a test for the overseas market. There is a lot of room for improvement in overseas sales."

Bai Xiyao told the truth that she would be lying if she said she didn't feel any pressure because she had to sell 70 million smartphones a year at the price of an ideal smartphone and generate revenue of over 140 billion.

"Turning pressure into motivation is a good way to test Fang Ming's marketing skills."

Zhou Jing spoke with an attitude that made him look very confident. His goal seemed very high. However, Ideal is now the fourth largest smartphone brand in the world, and it is just around the corner to surpass the third-ranked Huawei. Nowadays, the Ideal brand is very well-known and has a good reputation. Zhou Jing is also full of confidence that the sales of Ideal smartphones will reach 1.5 million in three years.

"What if I fail the test?"

Bai Xiyao said that Fang Ming is now the vice chairman and marketing director of Ideal Technology. He is the third most important person in the company after Chairman Zhou Jing and Vice Chairman and Executive Chairman Bai Xiyao. The two vice chairmen, Bai Xiyao and Fang Ming, are in charge of executive management and marketing respectively.

"I'll take action myself."

Smartphones are the lifeblood of Ideal Technology's revenue, and sales must increase. If Fang Ming fails to achieve the sales target next year, Zhou Jing will have to be in charge of the marketing department himself, and there will be no time to train other people. In order to ensure product sales, Zhou Jing has personally hosted the press conferences in the past two years.

"Next year will also be a test for Liang Jian, as this will be the sales of smartphones in foreign markets."

Bai Xiyao opened another sales data. Fang Ming was the head of the domestic market of Ideal Technology, and Liang Jian was the president of the international market.

"Hard work will pay off. This year I'll give you a Maserati, and next year I'll give you a Rolls-Royce Phantom."

Zhou Jing transformed into a master of empty promises to encourage his best friend Bai.

"Then I won't be polite. Do you still want to start a real estate project?"

Bai Xiyao thought of real estate. Last year, she had mentioned setting up a real estate project to solve the housing needs of the company's employees.

"Let's build one, between the ideal factory area and the R&D base, with an area of ​​70 square meters or less, not for sale, and the lowest rent will be provided to employees, with priority given to those who don't have houses in Tangdu."

It doesn’t cost much to build a residential area, and Zhou Jing can also use it to acquire a piece of land.

Bai Xiyao said: "Then I'll let the project department do it."

After talking about work, Zhou Jing and his bestie Bai went out to eat. After dinner, his bestie Bai went home, and Zhou Jing went to find Yang Wenwen. Yang Wenwen and her daughter arrived at the villa rented by Zhou Jing at around four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Dad is back."

Seeing Zhou Jing's car driving into the yard from the window, Yang Xin ran out of the door.

"have you eaten?"

Zhou Jing got out of the car, rubbed the little girl's head and said.

"Yes, my mother and I had steamed buns. What did my father eat?"

The little girl took Zhou Jing's hand and said.

"Dad also ate steamed buns."

The little girl was not wearing a down jacket, so Zhou Jing took out his down jacket from the car and put it on her.

"I can't eat so much fruit in two or three days, so I bought it."

Yang Wenwen took the fruit from Zhou Jing's hand and said.

"You can eat it on the go. This lipstick color suits you best."

Zhou Jing said as he looked at Yang Wenwen's lips painted with light pink lipstick.

"I feel so too."

The lipstick was given by Zhou Jing, Yang Wenwen said with a smile.

Gradually, Yang Wenwen got used to the current situation and to maintaining such a relationship with Zhou Jing. She was content to have a small gathering with Zhou Jing every month.

"Mom is so vain. She spends a long time dressing up every time she sees Dad."

The little girl said to the loving couple.

"Would you like your mother to dress nicely or slovenly?"

Zhou Jing pinched the girl's face and said.

The little girl thought for a second and said, "Be prettier." When parents dress up beautifully to pick up their children from school, the children will also look more prestigious.

“How was the store last month?”

Zhou Jing put his arm around Yang Wenwen's soft waist and patted her butt. At this time, Yang Wenwen was wearing a red down jacket with black tight jeans underneath. Against the backdrop of the red down jacket, Yang Wenwen's skin looked more rosy, and the black tight jeans made her legs look a little thinner, while at the same time modifying her body curves just right.

“Every product is selling well.”

Yang Wenwen said as she tied her hair up.

“Don’t just save money, be willing to spend it on yourself.”

The woman in her thirties tied her hair up neither fast nor slow, and she was graceful and charming. The child went to look for the food Zhou Jing bought, and Zhou Jing took advantage of the child's inattention to hug Yang Wenwen's neck and sucked her lips.

"I don't know what to buy, as I have everything I need."

The Ideal Online Store run by Yang Wenwen earned more than three million yuan in the first eleven months of this year. The equipment in the Internet cafe in Yulin City became old and was transferred to someone else. Yang Wenwen has nothing to do except running the online store, so she has no place to spend money.

"Dad, this is delicious."

Yang Xin tasted the snacks Zhou Jing brought and gave them to Zhou Jing and Yang Wenwen.

"I just had a meal, so don't eat too much snacks."

Yang Wenwen tasted it and said.

"I'll just eat a little." The little girl pulled Zhou Jing's arm and said, "Dad, my painting won first place in the city."

"So amazing, what did you draw?"

Zhou Jing acted as if he was very concerned.

“I drew a happy home.”

"That's amazing. Do you want to be a painter when you grow up?"

"I don't want to be a painter. I want to be a teacher when I grow up."

The little girl shook her head and said.

"Being a teacher is great, then you should learn more from your mother. Do you want CC to be a teacher?"

Zhou Jing was a little surprised by the child's answer. It was not easy for a child at such a young age to have such clear goals.

"I don't really want to. Let her do it!"

Yang Wenwen used to be a teacher and knows the helplessness of teachers.

But then again, no job is easy, but being a teacher carries greater responsibilities. Children in the new era are spoiled and cannot be treated lightly or harshly, or beaten or scolded. It is difficult to be a responsible teacher.

"Bring your homework book, show it to dad."

Zhou Jing sat on the sofa in the rest corner on the first floor and spoke to the girl leaning on his arms.

They have few opportunities to meet each other, so Zhou Jing tries his best to be a competent father to Yang Xin. He not only buys toys and food for the girl, but also cares about her studies.

The little girl ran to the bedroom to get her schoolbag.

"I bought half a pound of this tea today for over 2,000 yuan. The boss said it was very good, but I don't know if it's really good or not."

Yang Wenwen made a cup of black tea for Zhou Jing and said.

“The color looks good.”

Zhou Jing recognized it as Dahongpao at a glance. The ones he usually drank cost about four to five thousand yuan per pound.

"Have you eaten enough outside? Do you want to eat something tonight?"

Yang Wenwen said while sitting on the sofa.

"full."

Zhou Jing hugged Yang Wenwen and kissed her. The little girl came back with her schoolbag. Zhou Jing let go of Yang Wenwen and looked at her homework.

"Mathematics, this language."

The girl took out her exercise book from her schoolbag.

Zhou Jing flipped through the girl's notebook and said, "Your handwriting is getting better and better. Handwriting is like a person's face. If your handwriting is messy, others will think you are not good-looking."

"This is what we call a person's handwriting reflects his personality. If a person is upright, his handwriting should also be upright."

Seeing Zhou Jing's serious look, Yang Wenwen felt that many biological fathers could not be so competent.

“I am the best handwriter in our class.”

The little girl said while lying on Zhou Jing's knees.

"You must keep practicing calligraphy, and your handwriting will be even better when you become a teacher."

Zhou Jing pinched the girl's chin and said.

"Well, I saw my dad on TV last week. I told my classmates about it but they didn't believe me."

Children all like to talk about their parents with their classmates, and Yang Xin is no exception.

"They wouldn't have thought your dad was so great."

Zhou Jing was not worried that Yang Wenwen's daughter would tell others about it. It was nothing for children to talk among themselves.

"Don't show off to others in the future."

Yang Wenwen was worried that the child would cause trouble for Zhou Jing.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Yang Wenwen let the child go to wash up and go to bed, so that the child could develop the habit of taking care of himself. Yang Wenwen did not need to worry about the child's washing, as the child would wash his face, brush his teeth and wash his feet consciously.

The child went to the bathroom on the second floor. Zhou Jing picked up Yang Wenwen and sat her on his lap. He reached into the back of Yang Wenwen's clothes and unbuttoned her bra. The moment the buttons of her bra were unbuttoned, it bounced forward.

Yang Wenwen's body felt warm, and Zhou Jing was reluctant to take his hand away.

"Is Zhou Zhou easy to coax now?"

Yang Wenwen raised her shoulders and took out her bra, allowing Zhou Jing's hands to explore it.

Zhou Jing kissed Yang Wenwen's neck hard and said, "She's getting more and more naughty. Adults need to keep an eye on her all the time. Was CC naughty at this age?"

"Naughty. There is no child who is not naughty around two years old. As long as they are in good health, adults won't be too tired no matter how naughty they are. How is Zhou Zhou?"

In the past, Yang Wenwen couldn’t open her mouth to talk about Zhou Jing and Gu Jia’s children, but now she is used to it.

"I have a good physique and rarely get sick."

Zhou Jing opened the photo album on his mobile phone to show Yang Wenwen his child.

"It's very similar to you and Gu Jia. Gu Jia should still want a child. It's better to have one sooner while she's still young."

Yang Wenwen looked at the child in the photo and couldn't help but think about Zhou Jing and Gu Jia. Zhou Jing's career was getting bigger and bigger, and his grown-up son would be able to better share the pressure with Zhou Jing. Yang Wenwen didn't know if someone like Zhou Jing could have more children openly. If not, if Gu Jia's second child was still a daughter, the two of them would have to find a way.

"We'll see next year. This year is too busy."

Zhou Jing also wanted to have a son and a daughter with Gu Jia as soon as possible. With a son and a daughter, Gu Jia would be more open-minded. Since ancient times, the eldest son can give the owner the greatest sense of security.

"Don't come down, go to bed, we are going to bed too."

Hearing the footsteps of the children on the second floor, Yang Wenwen left Zhou Jing and said.

"Oh, goodnight, Dad, goodnight, Mom."

The little girl obediently went back to her bedroom.

"Do you miss your husband? Tell the truth."

Zhou Jing held Yang Wenwen's long hair, smelled it and said.
