Liu Qingshan suddenly understood and glanced at Ballmer who was not far away. "It turns out that your tree house is a face-saving project, or is it more suitable for people in your management to enter and exit?"
Ballmer argued with some sarcasm: "It's a bit of an overall image consideration, but a total of three tree houses have been designed. It's just the first one at the moment. In the future, there will be one not far from this officialdom. It’s just that construction hasn’t started yet!”
Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded. His casual demeanor made those Chinese people feel horrified in their hearts.
Because they, ordinary employees, know best that Ballmer has a very high prestige throughout Microsoft, and is said to be the perfect candidate for the next president, so he has a huge say here.
Although the office environment up and down the campus is quite humane, in their eyes, Ballmer is a superior leader-level figure, and because his face lacks some of Gates's iconic smile, most people are shocked when they see him. It's awe-inspiring.
Unexpectedly, such a character was treated lightly by Liu Qingshan, and he even felt unrealistic as he was reduced to a tour guide.
And more people can see that the structure of the crowd walking in the park of this tour group is centered on Liu Qingshan. He is at the front of the line, and no one can surpass him. Half a body.
At this time, Liu Qingshan had no time to think about this, but continued to ask with a smile: "How many Chinese are there here?"
It was the female programmer who said: "The maximum number is about 2,000 people, but everyone's working hours are different. More colleagues like to work at night, and some people go out to play during the holidays, so what you see today There are not many Chinese people.”
"Why didn't you go out to play? Did you choose to work overtime here?"
"There is no such thing as overtime here. Work is arranged on a project-by-project basis, and working hours are very flexible. As long as you complete the work within the deadline, no one cares whether you arrive late or leave early. It is very rare here to clock in every day."
Liu Qingshan nodded, and the smile on his face became thicker.
He turned to look at the others, "I didn't expect you researchers to follow the fans' tactics. These support cards were designed very well in a hurry."
One of them, a relatively short man with glasses, also answered with a bit of speed and urgency: "Mr. Liu, today we have to consider the fact that there are important people around you, otherwise we will shout slogans, our young people in China I'm afraid most of them are your die-hard fans, and it doesn't have much to do with what kind of job they do!"
"Have you heard about my becoming a spokesperson for Microsoft in the future?"
"It has already spread in the park. Not only our compatriots, but also more foreigners regard hiring you as the smartest move by the management!"
The communication between them was in Chinese, but there was also someone who translated instantly in Ballmer's ear, and that person was Liu Jingwei.
Ballmer was very happy to hear the most authentic grassroots voices of his employees and couldn't help but interject: "In fact, from the time I received the news that Mr. Liu was coming this morning to the time when the management and the board of directors made the final decision, It only lasted just over an hour. But in such a short period of time, there was a high degree of unity of opinion on the specific resolution, and it was also the smoothest time before all the previous resolutions came to the stage."
The implication of his words was naturally to cater to the point of view of the man with the eyes, and also to express the unity of the company to Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan would not be stingy with any words of praise at this time, because there were several cameras set up around him.
"I have benefited a lot from my experience here. It is the first time I have seen such a humane management model. Moreover, the colleagues seem to be very happy with their work and living conditions. It seems that the people here are very satisfied with the work and living conditions." There is no difference between the description and the actual situation, and the atmosphere in the company is indeed very united!"
Ballmer was very excited when he heard it. The big boss Gates is usually busy with research or flying around the world. He is the CEO of the company and is responsible for more comprehensive actual management work.
Liu Qingshan's words are undoubtedly an affirmation of his work achievements.
Although this person is not a real member of the board of directors and has no supervisory function, his influence is terrifying. Being recorded and broadcast by so many cameras will have a huge publicity effect.
This will also consolidate the stability of his original power, which will play a major supporting role in his successful succession in the near future.
So he smiled and said: "I feel the most sympathetic to Mr. Liu's word of unity. Microsoft's business capabilities are world-famous, and its technological innovation capabilities are second to none. This is inseparable from the employees' abilities and work attitudes. Our management has always put our own On the basis of serving employees as the first purpose, and fortunately the quality of our employees is very high, Mr. Gates and the board of directors are very pleased!”
The ancient tradition of people carrying a sedan chair to lift each other up has existed in China for thousands of years and is also applicable in Western society.
Liu Qingshan also immediately spoke: "The most important thing is good management. Your management model deserves to be promoted all over the world! I can only feel the supreme honor to be the spokesperson of such an excellent team. Thank you for choosing Me, let me become one of you!”
The warm applause from all around rang out at the right time, whether it was acting or sincere cooperation, anyway, the positive publicity effect was achieved, and the purpose of everyone today was achieved, so it can be ended here.
So Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "I am looking forward to the day when we officially sign the contract, and I also hope to see you lovely employees at the scene. I think everyone should leave. We should go back early to make some preparations, otherwise Once work starts tomorrow, I won’t have much time to prepare a speech. If I make a fool of myself by then, I’m afraid I’ll be fired by Mr. Gates on the spot!”
There was a lot of laughter at the scene. Although the employees were reluctant to give up, they were all adults and a group of people with extremely high IQs, and they knew when enough was enough.
Moreover, Liu Qingshan's next words took care of their feelings: "On the day of signing the contract, I took a group photo with everyone as a thought for myself. After all, it is such a blessing to be favored by such a great technology company. Something I will be proud of for the rest of my life!”
Amidst the roar of applause, some people also put forward different opinions: "Mr. Liu, let's take a group photo here today, otherwise we will be crowded into nowhere by the time that day!"
This sentence attracted more and more people to respond, and the calls became louder and more uniform.
Seeing Ballmer's inquiring look at him, Liu Qingshan simply agreed: "I just don't know what kind of camera can accommodate so many people in the same frame. There should be thousands of people at the scene." ?”
Other management staff also communicated with the reporters present in a timely manner. After being able to shoot such a big scene, they only need to use a better high-resolution camera to take the photos. It is not a camera problem, but a post-processing problem. Please provide feedback promptly.
Liu Qingshan didn't understand this. Seeing that the technology was guaranteed, he agreed.
It’s just that he didn’t know that due to another unintentional act of his today, today’s horrific scene was not only faithfully recorded by the camera, but also shared by countless people in the world. In the near future, that huge photo will be revealed. One of the original versions was officially collected as a work of art by a famous museum in France.
The photo itself is not of great significance, but the deeper cooperation between powerful forces is regarded by the world as the most classic work in business. Even the photographer named Powell was named the year because of this group photo. Two of the top prizes in the three major photography awards have made him famous.
The scene when this photo was taken was also full of joy. The original scale of no less than a thousand people was already huge, but hundreds of people still stepped in during the hectic personnel placement process.
However, most of these people have a relationship with each other as colleagues, and when they compete for a better position, they don't blush.
And there were some tourists and fans among them. Everyone was fighting for it with smiles on their faces. Some comedians even fell to the ground and rolled around in funny postures after being squeezed out of their original positions, which attracted a lot of attention. Lots of laughter.
All in all, the overall atmosphere was surprisingly good, and a camera recorded it all, which was later widely spread on the Internet as a behind-the-scenes clip. This scene full of joy was also the main reason for the huge success of that huge photo. One of the pushers.
I don’t know if they were deliberately arranged, but Jin Xishan and Taylor stood on both sides of Liu Qingshan, occupying the center of the entire picture.
At first, the two women refused. They all thought that this was Liu Qingshan's business alone, and it was not appropriate for too many irrelevant people to appear in the picture.
Unexpectedly, there were more than a hundred fans and tourists among the thousands and hundreds of people. Because of this reason, they were finally persuaded to agree to be photographed.
Similarly, the scene where the two of them were in the same frame as Liu Qingshan was once again found out and publicized one day after decades, and the Liu family, which already had many children, once again became the subject of public opinion. focus.
This is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
After shooting the huge project scene, Liu Qingshan and the other three rushed back to downtown Seattle before dark.
But instead of going straight to the hotel, they diverted to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel two streets away.
Tonight, Liu Qingshan will meet many people there, including the guy from Columbia Pictures.
Sure enough, Martin contacted Wang Huansheng at noon. After learning the specific whereabouts of Liu Qingshan, they agreed to meet at the Ritz-Carlton.
Everything was just as Liu Qingshan had guessed before. The first thing Martin and his followers did after arriving in Seattle was to collect information about the Pioneer Square project.
After learning that he had not participated in the division of business interests, Martin took the initiative to come to the door.
This is how this person behaves, with a very clear distinction between public and private. Moreover, as Liu Qingshan said, he really doesn't care whether he helps the company to make this matter a success or not.
Just because he cares more about his personal relationship with Liu Qingshan, of course he is not willing to put the other party in a dilemma over these things.
But after learning that Liu Qingshan was not involved in the project, Martin was completely relieved. After feeling relaxed, his first reaction was to contact him to meet him.
