November 26,

Mu Yang held a meeting between the design and sales departments to address the problems he discovered.

Many people don't understand the purpose of the boss's meeting, but everyone still brings notebooks and pens and is prepared to take notes.

Well, even if you don't take notes, you still have to show off and show respect to your boss. Many people have this mentality.

Doing a good job is another thing, but learning to perform is also a kind of interpersonal competitiveness and a rule of workplace survival.

"This time, the chairman asked the R&D staff, both leaders and juniors, to participate in the meeting. What on earth is going on?"

"You ask me, who am I asking? Look at the boss's face, he doesn't seem to understand."

"I think they are all people from our technical department. Hey, Mr. Yang from the sales department is also here."

"Everyone, please listen more. The chairman must have something important to say, and maybe you can learn some useful information."

There are 112 people in the five technical project teams, some of whom are on business trips and unable to participate. In addition, dozens of interns from the technical department and several leaders from the sales department who are in the company also participate.

Nearly two hundred people attended the meeting, and the meeting was arranged in a training classroom, which could barely accommodate so many people.

This is the second time for these interns to attend the chairman's meeting. The first time was the welcome meeting. Normally, they don't have the opportunity to attend. They are little transparent.

The legend of the chairman has been circulating in the company and among the people. They usually see Mu Yang a lot, but rarely have a few words with each other. If they can get the attention of the chairman, they can be envied by their colleagues.

Mu Yang's expression was a bit serious today, and the employees immediately became quiet after seeing their boss.

"I have called everyone to this meeting because I have some insights that I want to share with you," Mu Yang said.

Next, Mu Yang said a lot. The main content was not to think that what he said was right, but to constantly optimize the design and process, to dare to question, and to give them the opportunity to make mistakes. Only by making mistakes can they grow.

At the same time, Mu Yang also made a request that every month, the sales department should summarize the customer's requirements, talk about what is bad and what is good about their company's products, and then tell it to the R&D department. There should be more designers.

Listen to the voice of the market, don’t act behind closed doors, know how to change with the laws of the market, and dare to innovate.

Of course, every innovation must be evaluated, which does not mean arbitrarily optimizing old products.

Because a big change involves many things, such as the tooling may need to be changed, the process may need to be changed, etc., the cost will definitely increase greatly, and it is necessary to evaluate whether the change is worth it.

Mu Yang also requested that designers should keep track of what they design and visit more workshops to understand the situation. Different companies, different equipment, and different personnel will all have an impact on the designed things, especially some old employees who like to apply the design experience of the old company.

It may not be applicable to Xinghai Group, and changes must be made.

During the meeting, Mu Yang instilled many ideas into the R&D staff.

Some of these R&D staff have strong personalities and find it difficult to listen to other people's opinions. Mu Yang pointed it out directly, explaining that they should not be too confident in doing things and listen more to the opinions of workers, but they should not trust the opinions of workers too much.

Have your own analysis and judgment.

Some workers only speak out of their own interests. If you talk to them, they may not tell the truth.

Mu Yang's words, personality employees still listen to him, mainly because of Mu Yang's personal charm and the fact that the boss really understands technology. No matter whether they have a master's degree or a doctorate, when it comes to technology, they are just like elementary school students in front of the boss. Even the boss has to go down all the time.

In the workshop, we need to discuss problems with workers in a friendly manner. Why can't they do this?

There is a saying of leadership, which has five levels: position, recognition, production, establishing people and reaching the top.

The first level is to rely on the position on the butt. The subordinates are not necessarily convinced, just because they are the leader and have to listen. In reality, many leaders are at this level, such as leaders who get in through connections but have no leadership ability.

The highest one is the pinnacle, that is, leadership quality, which represents his status and influence in all industries. Very few people enter this level.

However, Mu Yang already possesses such leadership abilities, and many of them rely on his personal charm to conquer employees.

Personal charisma does not mean that he is rich or that he is the boss, but that he is technically better than all R&D personnel;

In terms of operation, Mu Yang is better than all workers. He can operate most of the equipment, and he also won gold medals in CAD mechanical design and welding projects. Who dares to say that he is better than him? This is the reason that all employees admire, admire and look up to him from the bottom of their hearts.

!

When it comes to management ability, even though Mu Yang is young, he is very steady in his work. He often emphasizes execution and plan management, and is familiar with man-machine, material, law, salary system, finance, 5S, coordination and communication, marketing methods, etc.

Mu Yang already has leadership qualities!

He already has this ability, and everyone recognizes him from the bottom of their hearts.

With just one sentence, most people may be willing to follow him.

Even though he is a bachelor commander, everyone is willing to believe in him.

After the meeting, the next few days.

Mu Yang plans to visit some important customers and really wants to hear their voices.

The feedback from the sales staff is not necessarily correct. It is most true only if you listen to it yourself. It is similar to the private visit of the emperor, but it is done openly.

At the same time, he wanted to go out and relax and get a true understanding of the cutting-edge technologies in various industries. The information collected online may not be accurate, and the information coming from the mouths of senior executives of other companies is more accurate and closer to market conditions.

Moreover, it can also deepen your personal connections.

On the evening of November 27th, Mu Yang paid the public rations at home and set off the next day.

On this business trip, he took Luo Zhize with him, as well as two bodyguards and part-time drivers, Wang Li and Zhang Dan.

The first stop was Muyang’s old employer Huazheng Valve Group.

Huazheng Valve Group uses Xinghai Group's secondary welding machines. Although the quantity is not large, there are only a few units, but the requirements for welding valves are very high, which can better reflect the difference from other brands of welding machines.

Before Mu Yang comes to visit, he will always ask Ronaldinho to say hello and send a letter of visit in advance, so as not to make a sudden visit, if the person is not in the company or unwilling to entertain him, it will be embarrassing for him to go.

Luo Fumin, the boss of Huazheng Valve Group, was slightly surprised to receive a letter of visit from Mu Yang, chairman of Xinghai Group, and immediately responded to the phone call to express his warm welcome to Mu Yang.

When Mu Yang arrived, Luo Fumin, general manager Wang Xun, and Luo Fumin's son Robin personally came to the gate to greet him.

After Mu Yang got off the car, he shook hands with the three of them, expressed a slight apology and said: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Wang, I deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to your company."

"Mr. Mu's arrival is a blessing for me. I wish you could come every day." Luo Fumin laughed heartily and boldly, then patted his son next to him and said, "Abin, you should learn more from Mr. Mu."

Robin bowed his fist and said with a smile: "Mr. Mu is now the object of my admiration. I hope you will give me some advice."

"You're welcome, let's learn from each other." Mu Yang said politely, "Mr. Luo, Mr. Wang, I came to visit Huazheng Company today. I really want to find out how the user workers feel about using our company's secondary welding machines. These are not polite words.

"

Luo Fumin and others were really surprised: "Do you still have to ask about such a trivial matter in person? There are so many people below."

“After all, the secondary welding machine was designed by me personally. I know the equipment best, and the feedback from the sales staff may not be accurate. Moreover, I came out to relax, understand the cutting-edge technologies of various industries, and broaden my horizons.

"

Luo Fumin and the other three nodded, admiring Mu Yang's personal visit.

Next, Luo Fumin first took Mu Yang to the workshop. Mu Yang personally asked the welders how they used their secondary welding machines, and also looked at the condition of the welded products.

A welder said: "Mr. Mu, your company's secondary welding machine is indeed very easy to use. There is no spatter and the molding is very good. But if you ask about the disadvantages, it may be that the welding gun is a little heavy and it will be difficult to hold it for a long time."

I feel a little tired. Of course, it's not much heavier than other welding guns. The main reason is that the materials you use are so good. I guess you used very thick copper for your cable."

"Thank you, Master, for your valuable advice. What you said makes sense. Ronaldinho, please take note of it." Mu Yang nodded, and at the same time said to Luo Zhize next to him, asking him to take notes.

Luo Zhize took notes while recording, and being able to go on business trips with his boss was a great job that most people in the company envied.

Luo Fumin and Wang Xun were deeply impressed by the fact that Mu Yang was not pretentious at all and seemed to be really looking for real customer opinions.

"It makes sense that Xinghai Group's business is booming." Luo Fumin praised.

"Indeed, it is worth learning from." General Manager Wang Xun agreed.

Robin didn't dare to speak, but he also admired Mu Yang. As a second-generation rich man, no matter how successful he was, others would say it was because of his parents. But Robin also understood that if he really wanted to start his own business, he would probably

To be finished.

After seeing the secondary welding machine, Luo Fumin took Mu Yang to see their company's current products, as well as some special valves they are making, such as large-size nickel alloy valves, titanium alloy valves, and ultra-low temperature -109 degrees Celsius experiments.

The entire valve surface was covered with frost.

Because titanium and titanium alloys have excellent seawater corrosion resistance, and some titanium alloys have radiation protection properties, they are used in large amounts in nuclear power projects.

Raw materials such as nickel alloys, titanium and titanium alloys are very expensive, costing one to two hundred yuan per kilogram. Some large-sized valves weigh several tons, and the raw material cost alone costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the manufacturing cost is millions of yuan.

However, such large-size valves are not used in large quantities, and customers generally only place a few orders.

For a valve factory, several orders are also big orders.

It is difficult to weld titanium alloys. A special welding tip protective cover is required to prevent the argon gas from running too fast. Argon gas must be circulated around the welding seam during welding. Do not weld too fast. If it is not done properly, it will immediately react with the oxygen in the air and cause brittleness.

crack.

Xinghai Group's titanium alloy welding, Mu Yang feels, has to be put on the agenda. He will take some titanium alloy orders and accumulate production experience. In the future, Xinghai Group will definitely do a lot of titanium alloy production.

Huazheng Valve Workshop is not big. After walking around the workshop, Luo Fumin took Mu Yang and others to sit in the office, drink tea and chat about the industry situation.

Mu Yang proposed to Luo Fumin that if there is titanium alloy welding, and if the welding is not good, it can be entrusted to Xinghai Group for production.

Luo Fumin agreed without much hesitation. Regarding the welding of titanium alloys, they also temporarily invited experienced welders from outside to do the welding, and there were not many orders in a year.

Mu Yang left Huazheng Valve after two hours. He refused Luo Fumin's proposal to drink together and rushed to the next stop.

The second and third stops were two companies in Sioux City.

The fourth stop has arrived at Qingdao.

Mu Yang once again went to the Zhongche Square to drive the vehicle. He was welcomed by Feng Younan, the general manager of the company. The electronic screen at the gate read "Warmly welcome General Manager Mu Yang of Xinghai Group to visit the company for inspection and research!"

Mu Yang came twice, but Chen Fei, the general manager of the Renjia branch, didn't receive him either.
