The demon master was beaten up

Hearing this, Duan Sufen could no longer suppress the doubts in her heart and quickly interrupted, "Secretary Xu, what exactly does Qin Nuo do here now?" Her eyes were full of concern and curiosity, and she eagerly wanted to know more about Qin Nuo.

However, Xu Chen's eyes suddenly flickered, as if he was deliberately avoiding something. He paused briefly, then replied vaguely, "Oh, he... He's in charge of the company's advertising design work. Sorry, everyone, I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I'll excuse you for now! As for the specific work arrangements, someone will naturally come to guide you through the relevant work later. Please be patient!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left the room, leaving the five young men looking at each other with questions in their hearts.

Xu Chen walked into the general manager's office and saw Qin Nuo sitting at the desk. He hurried over to report, "Boss Qin! The people you're looking for are here. I see they don't have high academic qualifications. Are you sure you want to use them to attract clients?"

Qin Nuo raised his head slightly, looked at Xu Chen calmly, and said calmly: "Don't underestimate them. Although they don't have high academic qualifications, they have all been polished in society for many years. Their experience and abilities are no less than those with higher academic qualifications."

After hearing this, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He pushed his glasses with his index finger and asked curiously, "Does President Qin have any plans?"

Qin Nuo raised his eyebrows and smiled, secretly admiring Xu Chen for being so quick to guess his intentions. Since they were the ones he wanted, there was no need to hide anything from him. So, he said, "I've carefully selected these people. They have unique strengths and potential. If I give them a chance, they'll unleash tremendous potential."

After hearing this, Xu Chen nodded thoughtfully, his admiration for Qin Nuo's vision and judgment growing. He knew that Qin Nuo might not seem very reliable, but he was very methodical. He must have had a reason for choosing these less educated but experienced people to attract clients.

Qin Nuo continued, "We can't just focus on academic qualifications while ignoring their practical abilities and experience. These people have been working in society for many years and have a deeper understanding of the market and customers, as well as better interpersonal skills. This is exactly what we need."

Xu Chen agreed deeply. He began to understand Qin Nuo's ideas and realized that as a manager, he should have a broader vision and tolerance and not be limited to traditional concepts and standards.

Qin Nuo sat in his office chair, his fingers twirling a black fountain pen, his eyes piercing and penetrating. His voice was deep and magnetic: "Secretary Xu! What do you think is the company's biggest failing right now?"

Xu Chen stood aside. When he heard this question, his face froze slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. He looked at Qin Nuo, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "Boss Qin, I think we need to strengthen marketing and product innovation..."

Qin Nuo interrupted him and said in a serious tone: "No, this is just a superficial phenomenon. The real problem lies in the atmosphere within the company and the mentality of the employees."

He stood up, walked to the window, and continued with his back to Xu Chen, "Please sit down, Xu Chen. I know you're well aware of the company's current situation. The company is like an elderly person in its twilight years, devoid of vitality and competitiveness. Every employee has ample resources and ability to expand their client base, but they're content to simply secure one big account. This mentality has led to the company's stagnation."

Xu Chen listened quietly, secretly surprised. He didn't expect Qin Nuo to be so perceptive about these problems.

Qin Nuo turned around and looked at Xu Chen, a glint of determination in his eyes. "All this is because they think they are connected to the Qin family and that as long as they keep their position, they will be rewarded handsomely. They lack the spirit of progress and don't realize that only by continuous improvement can they maintain their competitiveness."

Xu Chen frowned and asked, "Boss Qin, what are you planning to do? Are you going to lay off employees?"

Qin Nuo shook his head and sneered, "Layoffs? That's a last resort. Layoffs are only considered when the company is facing losses. My goal is to allow every employee to maximize their potential and create greater value for the company."

He sat back in his chair, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes full of confidence, his lips slightly raised, as if he had all the answers. He smiled and said to Xu Chen, "Secretary Xu, have you heard the story about shipping Norwegian sardines?"

Qin Nuo's voice was calm and composed, as if he was recounting a familiar story. He continued, "Norwegians love to eat sardines. Live sardines are several times more expensive than frozen sardines, but due to the long journey, many sardines suffocate and die during transportation. To solve this problem, fishermen racked their brains and tried various methods to prolong the life of the sardines. Finally, they discovered a brilliant solution - they put a catfish, which mainly feeds on sardines, into the fish tank containing the sardines. When the sardines saw the catfish, they panicked, dodging and swimming around. This stirred up the water in the fish tank, providing an adequate supply of oxygen, solving the problem of hypoxia, and most of the sardines were able to return to the fishing port alive and well."

Xu Chen's eyes widened as he looked at Qin Nuo in surprise. He obviously hadn't expected Qin Nuo to tell such a story. He asked in confusion, "Is Mr. Qin talking about the catfish effect?"

Qin Nuo smiled and nodded. "Yes, the catfish effect is indeed everywhere in our daily lives. Take a motivated new employee for example. His arrival often inspires experienced but perhaps lazy old employees to work harder. Similarly, an innovative company can also encourage other competitors in the same industry to continuously improve themselves. In terms of corporate management, managers can cleverly utilize the catfish effect as a means of creating a sense of crisis and integrating it into human resource management, thereby stimulating the vitality and creativity of employees."

Hearing this, Xu Chen suddenly understood, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes: "So that's how it is, Duan Sufen and the other five people are the catfish! Mr. Qin, your move is really brilliant!" He couldn't help but marvel at Qin Nuo's wisdom and strategy.

Qin Nuo smiled faintly, seeming confident in his plan. He picked up the personnel file, flicked through it, and then handed it to Xu Chen. "Go! Sign the employment contracts with Duan Sufen and the others first. Find someone to take care of the details beforehand. Notify all departments to hold a meeting this afternoon!" His tone was firm and decisive, as if he had everything under control.

Xu Chen took the information and nodded in response, "Okay, Mr. Qin, I'll take care of it right away." He turned and left the office, secretly admiring Qin Nuo's decisiveness and insight.
