Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

This was purely self-deprecating; Lou is hardly a "cripple" in the semiconductor and industrial fields.

Research and development and manufacturing of circular mirrors and chips, automation and intelligence, including some cutting-edge projects.

Lou-style investment companies have all been involved, holding significant stakes and wielding considerable influence.

Today, Lou's company is capable of engaging in face-to-face, equal dialogue with international giants.

No one dared to ignore Lou Shi, and no one dared to ignore her.

"Since you're interested, let's discuss the details as soon as possible. When can Mr. Lou send someone over?"

"It can be done within the week. I will send the best team to the capital."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jianguo looked somewhat surprised.

She didn't mention coming this time; could it be that she's truly let go?

Thinking of this possibility, Yang Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief and was genuinely happy for her and for himself.

It's better to be friends than to get entangled with each other, because there's no other possibility besides making each other feel awkward.

"Xiao Han, help me..." Yang Jianguo looked up and realized what was going on when he saw the empty office.

He even managed to get rid of his own personal secretary.

"Looks like we'll have to hire a new secretary again."

First it was Tang Youshui, now it's the head of the restructuring office, and then it's Han Xi, who holds the power to approve 5 million yuan.

Both of them held low positions of power, which attracted a lot of discussion.

Being able to serve as Yang Jianguo's secretary is like stepping onto the steps of a ladder to heaven.

If you do well, you can become a powerful official in just a few years; it's practically a shortcut to success.

Ever since Han Xi was transferred.

Countless people eagerly awaited when Yang Jianguo would recruit new employees.

So, while Wu Mei was still making preparations, someone with inside information came knocking on her door.

She was naturally aware of the rumors circulating outside.

When she went to get the information earlier, she deliberately didn't hide it and let someone leak the information.

This is so that those who want to use connections will submit their lists first.

Those who are capable will naturally be presented to the leaders.

Those who lack ability are eliminated by her, so there's no need to crowd them together in the formal recruitment later.

The whole process was chaotic and messy, it was a complete mess.

Wu Mei knew that the leader didn't care about a person's background or family history; he only cared about their abilities.

If you have the ability and are competent for this job, you are the best among everyone.

Then go for it, no matter what your dad does.

They lack the ability but still want to occupy this position.

Even if his own son came, he still wouldn't be able to handle it!

……

P.S.: Fans, could you please give me some monthly votes?

Chapter 505 A Golden Springboard, Microsoft is in a Dire Situation

Wu Mei had been working for her boss for five or six years.

She knows exactly what kind of person he is, what his requirements are, and what he dislikes the most.

We won't talk about it privately, and it's none of her business.

But when it comes to work, Wu Mei is well-informed.

Looking at the pile of files on the table, there were more than thirty of them, just from acquaintances in the unit who had stuffed them in.

When Wu Mei saw these files, she was both amused and exasperated.

My own boss is so popular.

That's exactly the case, and everyone knows why.

Some people might genuinely want to learn something from the boss.

But most of them, Wu Mei dares to say, are using this position as a golden springboard.

It's also a good way to enhance my resume, so that I won't be assigned to the same position as my two predecessors in the future.

With this resume, you'll have no worries about finding a place to go.

Moreover, it would also allow me to develop a closer working relationship with Yang Jianguo, so why not?

However, these people encounter the first hurdle in their job search.

Wu Mei, the chief secretary, rigorously screened applicants, eliminating anyone who didn't meet the requirements at her level.

After she finished screening, she handed it over to the office for verification.

After confirming that everything was correct, it was returned to Wu Mei, who then handed it over to the boss for inspection.

Tang Youshui was personally selected by him. Later, Xiao Tang was sent down to work in the restructuring office.

He delegated the selection of a secretary to his office.

Then, they brought in Han Xi.

It's not that she's bad; she's very hardworking, and most importantly, she's intelligent.

Just a little bit.

She was a bit pretentious when she first arrived, still putting on airs like a 'young lady'.

But she can listen to what people say, and she's willing to change and learn.

That's good; otherwise, Yang Jianguo wouldn't have put her in such an important position as project approval.

However, he didn't want another Han Xi to appear.

At the very least, this matter shouldn't become a situation where whoever has the most powerful connections gets the job.

He had to personally review all the lists.

This whole process was completed in just half a day.

It's not that we're not serious or strict enough, it's that everyone is too skilled at it.

I've had two secretaries in two years, this is the third, how could I not be proficient!

The office even made a bet about it, betting on whether the new secretary could stay by his side until the end of next year.

Upon learning of this, Yang Jianguo was not angry at all; instead, he asked Wu Mei to place a bet for him.

The stakes were a bucket of peanut oil.

Yang Jianguo rubbed his chin, thinking to himself, 'I've got the gift I need for visiting my father-in-law next year.'

"Boss, this is the list of all qualified people."

"Hmm, sit down, tell me about it."

Wu Mei acted as the narrator, while Yang Jianguo watched and listened.

"These are graduates from Peking University, and this one is a law student from Minzu University. I heard he's a popular figure on campus and dances exceptionally well."

Yang Jianguo gave her a strange look and laughed, "I'm not looking for a dance partner. What's the use of being a good dancer?"

"How could it be useless, boss? It's extremely useful."

Wu Mei said earnestly, "Look, everyone loves to dance now. There are all kinds of competitions and dances everywhere you go!"

"She can help you with socializing. If you go to a dance party, you won't have to find excuses to refuse other people's dance partners. Isn't that great?"

After hearing her say that, Yang Jianguo actually thought it made sense.

That's a plus!

"You really know me well," Yang Jianguo said with a smile.

Wu Mei looked proud, but said modestly, "Understanding the leader is what we secretaries are supposed to do."

"So, schedule them all for tomorrow morning."

Yang Jianguo planned to set aside a morning to interview his new secretary.

“Okay, boss, I’ll make the arrangements.” Wu Mei picked up the documents, stood up, and noticed the clock on the wall: “Boss, you should go to your meeting.”

Turning his head, Yang Jianguo quickly got up and walked out, saying, "I almost forgot."

Today I have a meeting with the Eagles; a representative from Microsoft is coming to discuss operating system issues.

The other party wants to secure all business in the public service system application area, and has already done most of the public relations work in other departments.

Now, it's time to tackle the tough challenge of the Ministry of Works.

The other departments were all fine, but the engineering department was the only one that Microsoft lacked confidence in.

Yang Jianguo's style of doing things has influenced the entire unit over the years.

His seriousness, responsibility, and comprehensiveness in considering issues surprised all other departments.

Especially on the issue of 'it's better to buy than to build, and better to rent than to buy'.

The Ministry of Works was a staunch opponent, adhering to the principle of "we can buy, but we should build more".

How can we secure this business and nip the other party's nascent software industry in the bud?

This is the first issue that the Microsoft team needs to consider!

In the past, they could have tried using coercion and bribery.

If you dare to develop your own operating system, we'll cut off all support for it, shut down the system, and send you back to the Stone Age.

just now……

The more than 300 domestic software engineering companies were the biggest bargaining chip for the Ministry of Industry in its negotiations.

Moreover, Yang Jianguo specifically allocated 5 million yuan to invest in this research.

This is also a major factor that makes Microsoft agitated and frustrated.

The mainland market is unleashing unimaginable potential, and everyone's judgment of it is wrong.

Microsoft needs this market, but it needs even more this market where there is never any new hope.

If you truly cannot persuade the other party, then you'll have to take the final step.

The representative felt immense pressure, recalling the chairman's instructions before he arrived.

"Director Yang."

"The director is here. Quiet down, everyone."

Upon entering the conference room, those who were smoking and chatting returned to their respective seats.

Yang Jianguo politely nodded to the Microsoft representatives: "Everyone, our meeting can begin."

"Yang, we are willing to release some of the code so that your engineers can develop their own applications based on it."

We came with friendship, which can save you hundreds of millions of yuan in R&D expenses. We can work together to maintain this ecosystem..."

The other party's representative immediately launched into a barrage of sweet-smelling, sugar-coated bullets, which looked beautiful and smelled sweet.

You have to eat it and wait for the sugar on the outside to dissolve.

You'll then know how humiliating it is to have a cannonball stuffed in your mouth.

If people want you to live, you can live; if they want you to die, you will die.

If you don't die, then I'll blow you up.

Even if they don't kill you, they'll cripple you. By then, it'll be too late to regret it.

Yang Jianguo would not allow himself, nor the people, to be under such a threat.
