"Sinhua News Agency is here"

Guan Fei had just returned to Taiyu Technology Office. Before he could sit down and take a breath, he received a call from the reception desk on the first floor, saying that Xinhua News Agency was visiting.

When he arrived, the other party followed him, obviously he was very concerned about his whereabouts, and maybe he followed from the airport.

The Hong Kong-based branch is not just a newspaper, but is essentially a semi-official institution in Hong Kong.

After liberation, the former National Government closed its offices in Hong Kong on its own, announcing the end of the National Government's official status in Hong Kong. After that, the British Hong Kong authorities were afraid that the mainland, which was more powerful than the government, would use the method of official institutions to form a second power center and essentially seize control of Hong Kong, so they firmly refused to set up official institutions in Hong Kong.

The British Hong Kong authorities induced the mainland to establish a consulate general in Hong Kong to cause the mainland to recognize the essence of Hong Kong's colonial status, and this request was of course solemnly rejected.

But it is impossible for both sides to die of old age and never interact with each other. The mainland also needs Hong Kong to become a window to communicate with the world. After consideration, the senior management took advantage of the Xinhua News Agency to establish a branch in Hong Kong and use the news agency to act as a public service office, and in fact it has become a semi-official institution of the mainland in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong branch is so eager to visit, there must be something important to communicate with Guan Fei.

"I'll come down now"

Guan Fei informed the reception desk on the first floor to have a good hospitality, and took Zhou Xiaoshan, Pan Meifeng, Mao Xiuliang and other senior management companies to quickly take the elevator downstairs to greet him in person.

Taiyu Technology is developing rapidly and the company is getting higher and higher. In order to further enhance the company's image in front of cooperative customers and dealers, the headquarters building has been renovated.

The first floor used as a workshop was all vacant, and the workers and equipment were transferred to a new building not far away. After the load-bearing wall and load-bearing columns of the building were reinforced, other functional areas divided the walls and were replaced by the entire floor-to-ceiling glass. With the efforts of the cleaners, the walls were wiped spotlessly; the walls were scraped smoothly and smoothly with gypsum and pasted with new wallpaper; the roof was ceiling treated, and five large supporting chandeliers were installed in the middle of the square geometric pattern formed by five groups of light bulbs, and a circle of spotlights were combined against the wall. After being refracted by the crimson marble floor, it reflected a gem-like luster, shining brightly, and the whole hall was magnificent.

In order to avoid the lobby being too empty and to facilitate visitors and employees meeting, a half-foot-high wooden platform of 100 meters long and 40 meters wide was built in the lobby, lined with goose yellow solid wood floors.

At the entrance of the wooden platform, a three-meter-high rockery stands, spreading horizontally like a screen, blocking the view outside. The holes on the mountain are filled with soil, and specially cultivated strange tree potted plants are planted. There are also a few vigorous pine trees stretching between the cliffs. The entire rockery is lush and green, as if it is a real mountain.

The foot of the mountain is a clearing land of more than one meter, full of tiny green grass, like a plain. There are also houses, farmland, chickens and dogs, looms, farmers and weaving women and other doll models, like a quiet farmhouse.

Under the action of water pressure, a tiny clear spring flows out from the top of the mountain. At the top, the mountainside, and the foot of the mountain each gathers into several ponds as big as bowls, which looks like a lake in the mountains. The water flows to the foot of the mountain and pours down from a straight mountain wall, like a waterfall, gathering into a basin-sized pool at the low point of the plain at the foot of the mountain.

The flowing water continues to pour from above, overflowing through the pool, and into a canal.

The canal is winding, with a wide area of ​​one or two meters wide and a narrow area of ​​about forty or fifty centimeters. It is winding and back, surrounding it for a while, surrounded by wooden platforms, and finally returned to the pool behind the rockery or a huge lake. The water pump under the water line pumps the water again and sends it to the top of the mountain, and revolves around to form a live stream of water.

The waterways in the canal are filled with pebbles of various colors of thumb, including aquatic plants, fine sand, corals, shells, and small fish, shrimps, and crabs. They swim around the waterways, so don't add any more vitality.

A small wooden antique arch bridge is built from the canal to the opposite wooden platform.

In the wooden table, the half-person ornamental plants are divided into more than a dozen parts by artistically shaped stainless steel railing armrests and half-person high ornamental plants. The outermost part is the striped area on both sides of the central steps, and benches and wooden tables that are treated with varnish to retain the original wood grain, as a public rest place.

Inside the long-shaped rest area, it is separated by three layers of ornamental plants and is connected to the wooden lattice vine-climbing area on the roof. It is connected by a walkway to two large special private rooms. The interior is very ingenious and more secretive. It is a temporary reception place for receiving a few important customers.

The various grades of coffee, tea, ice drinks, pastries, etc. prepared by the reception desk are handmade by professional bartenders, baristas and pastry chefs, and the quality is not inferior to that of high-end leisure places outside.

Special lines are provided in the rest area, hiding the speakers in the depths of ornamental plants and vine-climbing leaves. Different music can be played in different areas according to different needs through the reception console.

Generally speaking, if you don’t want to receive customers in the office, you can simply not have to find a place outside and talk in the reception area. Moreover, the environment here is elegant, the quality of the things is reliable, and the style is not bad at all, which is also a way to save reception funds.

Guan Fei and others came out of the special elevator. A receptionist wearing a white shirt and short skirt, a blue short suit, and a purple gauze surrounded by a collar, came up, gently held his left finger with his right hand, bowed his body, and whispered: "Chairman, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Mao, Mr. Pan, several guests were arranged in Xia Zhu's living room, please come with me."

Mandarin is a straight and rounded mandarin, with only a little soft and soft tone on the other side of Taiwan.

When serving people's bowls and eating people's meals, Guan Fei's regulations that mandarin must be used as the working language and are well implemented in the company.

Hong Kong people already have a certain foundation in Mandarin. They taught them in various Chinese schools in the early 20th century and had special Mandarin courses. Schools opened by non-Cantonese people are taught entirely in Mandarin.

After that, the government retreated to Taiwan, and a large number of mainlanders flocked to the mainland, and the language of Hong Kong became more complicated. Cantonese, Shanghai, Mandarin, and Fujian and Zhejiang dialects were mixed, and each had a certain scope of application. Therefore, in order for everyone to understand, radio, television, and movies were dubbed in Mandarin. Even if some local elderly people could not speak, they would definitely understand.

The reason why Cantonese has become mainstream in Hong Kong is the result of forced promotion by the British and Hong Kong authorities.

In the 1950s, because Luohu established a checkpoint, the British and Hong Kong authorities took advantage of the opportunity of isolation from Hong Kong and the mainland to reduce the status of Mandarin teaching and stipulated that primary schools must adopt Cantonese teaching, and teachers who did not pass the Cantonese exam could not get the teacher qualification. By the 1960s, the Mandarin courses were even cancelled, and later, all schools including private schools were simply blocked from teaching Mandarin, non-Cantonese dialect radio and television, and forced Cantonese to be promoted.

However, even so, film companies are still insisting on using Mandarin dubbing, and movies have become the last position that continues to affect the local language environment.

Locals have more or less basic Mandarin, and except for different tones, Cantonese and Mandarin are not different in language expression. Under the company's mandatory requirements, employees initially spoke a little stuttering and quickly adapted, especially some young people. After a period of practice, Mandarin spoke more standard than many mainlanders.

However, most of their learning objects are movies and Taiwanese radio programs, which inevitably bring the soft tone characteristics there, and the pronunciation of individual characters is also different from that of the mainland.

With the emergence and growth of Taiyu Technology, New Era and other companies, under the influence of military sub-district companies, in order to contribute to their preferences and facilitate communication, various affiliated companies have also begun to promote Mandarin within a certain range. In particular, the business personnel, technical personnel, and senior management of various affiliated companies have regarded Mandarin as one of the main working languages.

The Hong Kong and British authorities are naturally dissatisfied, but this is their "company culture" and a job requirement. In order to contact customers and communicate normally, it is understandable that they learn Mandarin. It is impossible to say that British-funded companies can force employees to speak English, but Chinese-funded companies cannot speak Mandarin. If they do this, they will not even need a fig leaf, which is equivalent to completely breaking up with the mainland. They do not have the courage to do so.

"Okay, thank you." Guan Fei said politely.

The decorated reception hall is completely renovated. The soft and bright ceiling lights are refracted and the marble floor that reveals the bright light, goose yellow wooden table, bright silver railings, green potted plants, various flowers in the middle, and the Guzheng music floating from nowhere, making the hall look rich, gorgeous, elegant and elegant.

After crossing the bridge and going up the wooden platform, Guan Fei smiled slightly. He saw several pairs of employees talking about business. The two sides were holding coffee and tea cups, and they were fighting red. Several employees in suits were scattered in several seats in the public rest area, sitting around the wooden table, talking and laughing lightly, as if they were happy.

As long as it is not a matter of principle, he has no intention to interfere.

Taiyu Technology is under the supervision of Zhou Xiaoshan. Since he didn't say anything, he naturally said that these employees did not violate the company's regulations. Each of them was in their own position and performed their own responsibilities. There was no need for him to go beyond the company's original management and question and scold the employees below, which negatively affected Zhou Xiaoshan's image in front of the employees.

Everyone has their own management style. As long as he does his job well and has good performance, how to manage the company is his freedom.

In this era, European and American companies advocate family-style management, and there are coffee rooms and game rooms in the company. After completing their work, employees can sit in the coffee room at any time, chat with colleagues easily, and play two table tennis games. The company's atmosphere is very relaxed and warm, and the interior is very cohesive, and they rarely change jobs. It is not just that Japan implements lifelong employment, but most employees of European and American companies also follow the practice of serving one company. From employment to retirement, they are all in the same company. For them, the company is equivalent to a family, and sometimes more important than the family.

To be dedicated, these employees in the 1960s and 1970s were not inferior to those in Japan at all. In order to catch orders, it is not uncommon for free overtime. The company is prosperous and the company is happy, and the company has difficulty in operating, and employees are worried. They all come up with suggestions and do their best to do their best for the company. It can be said that they have truly breathed and shared the same fate as the company.

This management model was not until the 1980s, and competition became increasingly fierce. The company went bankrupt frequently and the time to maintain normal operation was shorter and shorter. Employees had to consider the next employment direction as soon as possible. Job change began to become increasingly frequent and eventually became the norm.

The warm family-style management model has also been replaced by a more cruel performance appraisal and a management model that fails to complete, and the company has gradually become a cold pressing tool.
