"Mr. Wu, they are here." Zhang Xiaolei's voice came from the stereo.
"Let them in."
"OK!"
Not long after the call ended, Zhang Xiaolei walked in with marketing director Huang Zhihua and two other people.
Wu Hao, who was working with his head down, stopped what he was doing when he heard the noise, then stood up and smiled at several people: "Here you go, sit down quickly!"
He picked up his own water glass and led a few people to the reception area to sit down. Immediately, staff from the Secretariat brought tea to several people.
After Zhang Xiaolei and the others retreated, Wu Hao smiled and said, "Okay, let's get straight to the point.
I believe Zhihua has already talked to you about the purpose of calling you this time. Let me confirm it again. Your personal thoughts must be fully respected in this matter. If you really don't want to, I won't force it.
Of course, if you have any concerns or requests, you can raise them and I will consider them as appropriate."
"Thank you, Mr. Wu." The two thanked each other, then looked at each other, and then stopped talking.
Wu Hao glanced at Huang Zhihua, who was sitting next to him, and then continued to smile at the two of them: "We are all young people. Just say whatever you have to say and tell your true thoughts."
"Then I'll say it." One of the two, a young man about thirty-one or twelve years old, wearing a well-tailored suit, spoke up first.
"Tell me." Wu Hao nodded. This person's name is Chu Liangjie, he is thirty-two years old and is currently the deputy manager of the overseas operations center of Haoyu Technology Marketing Department.
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Chu Liangjie hesitated for a moment, and then said directly to him: "Mr. Wu, I am unwilling to accept an expatriate assignment or go to Europe."
"Huh?" Wu Hao said with a puzzled look: "Why, I went to Europe and not Africa. The working conditions in Europe are very good, and many people are thinking about going there. And the salary there is very high, plus the expatriation
The subsidy is not even a little bit higher than the salary of your current position."
Chu Liangjie shook his head and said: "Mr. Wu, I know that the reason why the company chose me to go there is simply because of my experience of studying and working there. But there are many people in our company who have such experience of studying abroad.
, why do you have to choose me? My conditions are not outstanding in all aspects, and..."
"Tell me your own reasons." Wu Hao interrupted directly.
Okay, seeing Wu Hao interrupting him, Chu Liangjie paused for a moment, and then faced Wu Hao directly and said: "I have just settled my family in Anxi, and I have just gotten married. My wife is pregnant, and I don't want to be too far away from home."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this. This was the key to the problem. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to look at the other person and said, "What about you?"
This man glanced at Chu Liangjie sitting next to him, then nodded to Wu Hao and said, "I am willing to go, but I have conditions."
"Oh, tell me your conditions." Wu Hao smiled.
This person's name is Lu Bo, he is thirty-five this year, the head of the Comprehensive Market Operations Center, and the department manager.
"I now have two children. The eldest daughter is seven years old and the youngest son is two years old. This is the most annoying age. I hope that I can work there for no more than three years and have one month of annual leave per year.
Come back and accompany them." Lu Bo stated his conditions very neatly, but his words were full of tenderness.
Wu Hao nodded, and then said with a smile: "The salary the company gives you is not low. When you are mature, you can take your family over and live together, and your children can also study there."
Lu Bo smiled and shook his head and said: "My wife and I considered this matter, but after careful consideration we gave up.
On the one hand, I have studied and worked there, so I know what the environment there is like, and it is not as good as we imagined.
The educational environment there may be slightly better than the quality of the universities, but to be honest, basic education is still worse than our domestic key schools.
What's more important is the xenophobic culture there. To be honest, it's not friendly to us Orientals. I don't feel comfortable letting them study and live in that kind of environment.
Furthermore, while they are still young, they should receive more baptism of our traditional culture. After such a young age, they may not even be able to write their own names in a few years.
Let's wait until they are older. If they want to study abroad at that time, I will never object. For now, let's live and study in China with peace of mind."
Speaking of this, Lu Bo showed a wry smile and said: "Actually, there is another reason, and that is that their grandparents are reluctant to part with them. They are also worried that once we move abroad, we will not be able to come back.
The old man's dependence on his hometown is something we cannot shake no matter what.
We are all born in the 1980s and 1990s, and we are all only children. If we really leave, then there will really be no one to take care of these four old people.
So my wife and I discussed it and decided that it would be better to stay in China."
When Wu Hao heard what he said, he showed deep admiration, then smiled and nodded: "It can be no more than three years, and I can agree to one month of annual leave every year.
But the burden you have to go this time is not light. It means that I have thrown the entire European market on your shoulders.
Tell me what thoughts or ideas you have."
"I know, this burden is very heavy." Lu Bo nodded and said with a solemn expression: "I decided not to take immediate action after going there, but to visit the markets in various countries and regions first, and wait until I have a real understanding before proceeding.
action.
Although our market in Europe is currently growing rapidly, there are still many problems. For example, in order to quickly open up sales channels, we packaged some regions and even international markets directly to these agents.
Even though this helped us quickly open up the market, it also cut off our connection with the grassroots market.
And these agents also use the market they control to blackmail us and demand more favorable terms and prices."
"You want to touch this?" Wu Hao asked in surprise. He didn't expect that Lu Bo had such confidence. You should know that this has touched the interests of many big agents, which can be said to be very risky.
"Isn't this why you sent me there?" Lu Bo said with a smile.
"Let's talk about this later." Wu Hao waved his hand, then turned his gaze back to Chu Liangjie and said, "Since someone is willing to go, then you don't have to go."
After hearing his words, Chu Liangjie immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wu, I will definitely..."
Wu Hao shook his head and said: "Although you don't have to go to Europe, you can't stay in this position anymore.
Don’t you dislike that Europe is too far away? Then I’ll give you a place closer to you. How about Southeast Asia?”
