Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 367
With the end of the year quickly approaching, there are so many things to do in January, and they are all trivial matters, such as final exams.
This year's holiday is relatively early. It is said that you can leave school on January 12th, so the review week will begin directly after New Year's Day, and time is still tight.
Places like libraries and study rooms have been occupied for a long time.
Although John Qin is the first learning star of Linda, and the school will ensure that he passes even if it is for its own face, Linda also has some old professors who are obsessed with academics and will not give them face, so you still have to learn what you should learn. If you want to learn, at least it will be reasonable when judging papers.
Just like advanced mathematics, if you don't learn it, you won't even be able to write the wrong answer. Do you need to write a Pythagorean theorem?
John Qin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully in his mind for a long time, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock, thinking to himself, what the hell is the Pythagorean Theorem?
If you pay it by mistake, you will pay it by mistake after all...
The only theorem I was familiar with also quietly left me, just like love.
John Qin sighed, got out of bed, and found that the three guys in the dormitory were already half-sitting on the bed and starting to review seriously.
Especially Charles Cao and Zachary Ren. They played all the tricks and tricks last time, fearing that their brothers would do well in the exam and both of them would fail. This time they have learned to be honest and understand that brothers will cheat each other and their routines will fall apart, but I can’t do it in the exam, because I really can’t do it in the exam.
"Brother Cao, how much have you reviewed?"
"Seven, seven, eighty-eight, it's almost over."
Zachary Ren's expression changed and he secretly speeded up.
But John Qin doesn't need to work as hard as them, because he has a personal teacher who teaches quickly and well and doesn't charge tuition. The key is that there are rewards for studying well, but it's a bit expensive.
John Qin got off the bed, washed briefly, put on his coat, and went to the library shivering.
"John Qin, what is special about imperfectly competitive markets?"
John Qin sat up straight in the library confidently: "I know this question, choose A."
Nancy Feng was dumbfounded for a while: "This is an overview question, not a multiple-choice question."
"Isn't it still a multiple-choice question yesterday? It's no longer the case today. What do I mean, women are fickle."
Nancy Feng bluffed: "Have you forgotten everything you reviewed yesterday?"
"I haven't forgotten everything. At least I remember to choose A for this question."
Gao Wenhui, who was typing in front of the computer, couldn't help but raise her head: "I still can't figure it out, how did you become a learning star?"
John Qin thought for a moment: "Some people say it's because of his appearance."
"This is not what I said. It was really spread by someone outside. They also complained that they didn't expect that such a good school as Linda also has a shady secret. Prizes are given to the good-looking ones."
Nancy Feng raised his head and looked at him: "It's wrong for them to say that. It's not your fault that you look good."
John Qin nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that no one understands me."
"It's true that two kinds of people can't sleep in the same bed..."
Gao Wenhui looked at each of them who dared to say what they believed, and she didn't dare to have any temper at all: "At least you have the record of starting a business, but I am different. If I fail the exam, I will not be able to live well every year."
John Qin nodded slightly in agreement: "I'm the same way. Starting a business is starting a business, but you will still be criticized if you don't do well in the exam."
Nancy Feng looked up at them: "I will definitely do well in the exam, and John Qin's mother will not criticize me."
"Are you going to my house to celebrate the New Year again?"
"I'm going to..."
John Qin directly spread his hands and said: "Then I will learn a little bit and pass the test."
In addition to dealing with final exams, the trivial matters to be dealt with in January include the New Year dinners of each branch.
In 2008, the Zhihu project broke out of its shell. The first batch of employees was only twelve, and most of the 208 employees were dissatisfied.
In the blink of an eye, 2010 has just begun, and the number of regular employees of Zhihu and Pintuan has reached 130, and this number does not include part-time employees from universities, out-of-town sub-station employees, and Pintuan delivery personnel.
In the past, year-end parties only required setting up a table in 207, and the cost would not exceed 500 yuan. However, with the development of enterprises, group gatherings are no longer convenient.
At noon, John Qin left the library and came to the entrepreneurial base, where he assigned party arrangements to everyone.
"Now the business scope has become wider and the teams are dispersed, but cohesion still needs to be there, so during this period, each team should start holding year-end dinners."
"Lan Lan and Susan are responsible for arranging the group dinner."
"Tina Tan and Wendy are in charge of the Linchuan Business Gang and Jinsnan Foundation dinner."
"Wong, Felix, Lucy and Xu Yu are responsible for leading the content department, technology department, and finance department."
"I... am responsible for the boss lady."
After hearing John Qin's arrangement, everyone in 208 couldn't help but pout, saying to themselves that the boss is really nothing, and always keeps the best things for himself.
Lana Wei couldn't help but ask: "Boss, what standards should be followed for the year-end dinner?"
"Let's give it five hundred per person. In addition, remember to give out the year-end bonuses at the party, all in cash, in wads and wads. We have been working hard for a whole year, and the end of the year is the best time to show off. When you are in love, you must show all your nobility."
Xu Yu also heard the sound and added: "All department leaders will count the number of people and then submit the application within three days. If it is not sure, you can also get the invoice after the dinner for reimbursement."
After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but puff up their chests a little.
They were used to staying in 208 and being commanded by John Qin, so the feeling of being a leader was not very obvious. But when John Qin asked them to take their respective teams out for dinner and hand out year-end bonuses personally, they Only then can you feel the change in identity.
Yes, it is impossible for a boss to do everything himself, especially as the team grows, it also means that management becomes more difficult.
Just like this year-end party, they will finally make their debut and take charge of their own business.
Thinking of this, everyone in 208 took action one after another, sending out notifications and making reservations for restaurants.
The team's year-end dinner has been arranged, but there is still another party that John Qin needs to attend in person, and that is the Linchuan Business Gang's year-end cocktail party.
Before the merchant gang was established, there was a chamber of commerce in Linchuan, and they also liked to gather people at the end of the year to brag. However, since John Qin took the lead in establishing the merchant gang, the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce has ceased to exist in name only, and some of its staff have simply been absorbed. Arrive at Linchuan Commercial Gang.
Although the name is different and the meaning is different, the custom of holding a cocktail party at the end of the year has continued.
Having made so much money without showing off your wealth, what's the difference between that and walking at night in brocade clothes?
At eight o'clock in the evening, John Qin drove to the Longkai International Hotel and found that the banner had been pulled up. There were successful people in suits and ties inside and outside the hotel. As soon as John Qin arrived, he immediately welcomed John Qin with a smile and was invited to the main table.
To be honest, the cocktail party held by the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce was much bigger than the scene at the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce.
Not only the number of people, but also the entire banquet hall was extremely splendid. Everywhere was full of the smell of money, and the waiters were all wearing cheongsams with slits reaching to the navel.
"The last time I attended a party, I was sitting at the last table. There wasn't even a fruit plate on that table, only a plate of melon seeds."
"real or fake?"
"Of course, I got in through Mr. He's connections at that time. Listening to all the bosses talking about business, I didn't even dare to breathe. I remember one boss even treated me as a waiter."
Upon hearing this, several big bosses surrounding him thought he was joking and showed disbelief.
In their view, John Qin was a figure as bright as a morning star, an existence that could change everything. How could he still be so humble?
John Qin knew that they didn't believe it, so he said with a somewhat sentimental tone: "As you know, I used to do group shopping in stores. At that time, it was really difficult for me to find cooperative merchants. I couldn't contact anyone at all."
Some bosses named Wang were stunned: "No, Mr. John, I remember that your first call was directly to me. I was still wondering how you knew my personal number."
"That was a little trick I used. It's a bit embarrassing to say it. I was still a little-known person at that time, so I just wanted to join in the fun and get a business card."
"But, Mr. He told me that I was not qualified enough and told me not to ask for a business card."
"I thought I couldn't come here in vain, so I made a crooked move."
"Do you still remember that there was a business card display area for business elites at the entrance of the banquet last year? I did it. I spent a hundred yuan to remove the sign-in person. The girl at the entrance of the banquet hall is mine, just to get Business cards for all the big guys."
After hearing these words, the place suddenly fell silent. Everyone who had been smiling just now couldn't help but look at each other, and their expressions turned into shock.
They really didn't know about this, and until now they still thought it was a new trick by the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce.
I remember at the beginning, several people here were blushing because of the business card display area, just to argue about whose business card should be in one row and whose business card should be in the second row.
In their eyes, the front row represents identity and status. Who would have thought that from that moment on, Mr. John would have taken advantage of this and included them as chess pieces on the chessboard.
They originally thought they were good at doing business, but at this moment they suddenly felt that they were not so good at it.
At this moment, a waiter behind him suddenly leaned into John Qin's ear and said that someone was looking for him outside.
John Qin nodded, put down his wine glass and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the banquet hall, he saw the leader of Linchuan coming, followed by a few people, and they started to greet each other warmly.
"Mr. John, let me introduce to you. These are Mr. Lei, Mr. Fang and Mr. Yan from Yangzhou, Mr. Wang and Mr. Sui from Xingzhou, and the ones from Weizhou..."
"They heard that we are engaged in industrial upgrading in Linchuan. They know that the business environment here is good and the support is strong, so they all want to come here to start a company. You are the leader of the business gang. I specially brought them here to get to know you this time. "
While we were talking, bosses from other places came up one after another to shake hands and say hello, and most of their greetings contained names they had known for a long time.
After the pleasantries were over, the leader asked the secretary to hand over a suitcase: "I've prepared the things you want."
"Thank you for your support, leader. Can you please take a seat? You will come on stage to give a speech later and give us instructions on our work."
"Forget it, I won't show up for this occasion. It's not appropriate. Do your best, Mr. John. The whole Linchuan will support you."
After the leader and the out-of-town bosses left, John Qin opened the suitcase. Inside were rows of identity cards, pure black, with the Linchuan Business Gang's logo printed on them...two held tightly together. fist.
John Qin called a few waiters and asked them to distribute the food according to the list.
When he first started his business, he once said that enterprises need cohesion, and now the Linchuan Business Gang needs cohesion even more. This ID card is actually prepared to unite everyone, just like the employees' work badges.
After a while, John Qin came on stage with his card and raised the microphone to his mouth.
"I believe everyone has already received their membership cards. This can be regarded as an identity mark of our business gang."
"There is an Entrepreneur's Club over there in the western suburbs. It's very large. It has golf, swimming pools, mountains and rivers, green trees and red walls. You can enter it at any time with this card."
"In addition, Linchuan Airport has specially opened a rest area and VIP channel for the Linchuan Business Group. If you enter with this card, you will be greeted by a dedicated person."
"And it can also be regarded as an independent account of Linchuan Bank. After you open it by yourself, it will have great priority in some banking services."
"I know that everyone is a person of status, and they are not very rare about these things, but this is the support given to us by the Linchuan City Government, and it is also an affirmation and certification for us."
"Another point."
John Qin paused: "The number of this card will not increase in a short time. I hope everyone can keep it properly."
Sometimes you can't just listen to the surface of some more official words, but you have to listen to the subtext.
There will be no more members in a short period of time, which means that the members of the Linchuan Business Gang have been fixed. If you want to join in the future, the threshold may become very high.
In other words, it doesn't matter what this card can do, what matters is what it represents.
The bosses at the scene looked at the cards in their hands, and for some reason, they suddenly felt like they had found home, as if they were working alone in the business world and suddenly had a collective identity that was tightly bound together.
In the past, the chamber of commerce was just bragging, but now the chamber of commerce is really working together as a team. Thinking of this, the sense of belonging becomes a little overwhelming.
Qin Zhihuan recently returned from Shanghai. He was also at the reception and got his own identity card.
He looked at the card, then thought about John Qin's ups and downs along the way, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself, cousin, cousin, this is not gold, this is going to be a fucking diamond mine. .
"Oh, by the way, there's something I forgot to mention."
"With this card, you can drink sweet milk tea for free, but I advise you to be kind."
