Chapter 1491 Not Very Satisfied
September 28, Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Man, I'm familiar with the smell of this wind," Hastings, who covered his mouth and nose tightly with a magic turban and even his beautiful mustache, said with a bit of show-off and nostalgia.
But the wind was too loud, and Randolph next to him could only hear a few unrelated syllables. In other words, he couldn't even see his mouth shape in this state.
"I said, I'm familiar with the smell of this wind," Hastings simply took off his turban.
Immediately, the hospitable Dunhuang Gobi Desert generously gave this foreigner some Chinese land with the wind.
"Bah," he spitted quickly, "From Africa to China, the smell of sand in this desert is the same,"
"Are you also familiar with the camel thorns on the ground?" Cummins asked, lowering his head and carefully squeezing his feet between the camel thorns on the ground.
Because of the wind, the weather is cool today, but it is more difficult than yesterday.
The ground is full of lush camel thorns in this section we are walking now.
Looking around, there is a rare oasis in this desert, composed of clusters of low camel thorns, reaching the end of the sight.
However, such an oasis does not give people a very pleasant feeling.
Because of the harsh living environment, camel thorn is like other plants in the desert, stubborn and tenacious, with a very good sense of self-protection. Like Israel, which was also founded in the desert, it advocates that offense is the best defense.
So far, it has made more than ten people scream in pain and pierced more than fifteen pairs of shoes.
Cummins, who dedicated the first half of his life to Wall Street, finally felt that the body he had worked out in the gym could maintain his body shape and make him energetic, but it was not suitable for hiking in the Gobi Desert.
"This is a feature here," Hastings also carefully avoided the annoying thing on the ground.
Feng Yiping stood on the side of the road with a trekking pole, "How do you feel?"
"It feels very good, and it's getting easier and easier as I walk," Hastings said first.
"Haha, that's good,"
On the second day of hiking, although the body was definitely more tired, everyone's spirit was generally better than yesterday.
On the first night in the desert, it is estimated that many people, like Feng Yiping and others, finally had time to calm down, calm down, summarize, and reflect on themselves. After the heart is light, the mental state will naturally be good.
However, Feng Yiping is still a little dissatisfied with the current state.
The main purpose of bringing all the executives from the United States to this team building is to promote the integration of domestic executives and American executives.
This point is also very urgent and realistic.
After all, the business of many domestic companies will expand to the United States in the future. Similarly, many products from the United States will also be promoted in China in the future. If the executives on both sides are not familiar with each other, the future cooperation will not be tacit, and the advantages of belonging to the same group will be wasted.
At the same time, as a company that has successfully internationalized, the internationalization of executives is also an inevitable step.
In order to facilitate communication and exchange, Feng Yiping hired at most those Chinese who were born and raised in China and later went to the United States or Europe to study and work, and have an international background, or those who have returned to China but also have an international background.
Similarly, the executives of the American company are also all Americans.
From a separate point of view, there is nothing wrong with this, but from the perspective of the group company, there is a clear distinction between Chinese and non-Chinese executives, which is obviously not conducive to future development.
Whether in China or abroad, the future executive team will be composed of members from different countries and regions. This is a major trend.
Feng Yiping hopes to use this team building as an opportunity to let the Chinese and foreign parties try to integrate, but at present, except for Drucker, the others are still a little bit behind.
Bao Zhuoyuan followed the support team forward. Among the executives who participated in the hike, Drucker was the oldest.
Along the way, he was also the most active one, constantly talking with the heads of various companies. Those who knew English communicated in English, and those who did not know English communicated through the translator assigned to him... He was one of the executives who were familiar with both Chinese and American executives.
The remaining few had also communicated with Chinese colleagues, but not in depth. Their main communication partners were executives who had studied in the United States, and they had more common language.
The others were mostly polite greetings.
There are communication problems here. Many of these domestic executives do not have the same English level as their academic qualifications.
There is also the factor of reserve. Relatively speaking, these American colleagues are generally at least one or several levels higher than these domestic executives in terms of work experience, personal achievements, current wealth, vision, and knowledge... In many aspects, they are generally at least one or several levels higher than these domestic executives. It is normal to be a little reserved.
Of course, there are many American colleagues traveling with us this time. First, they do not communicate with Chinese colleagues, and it is not that they cannot find people to talk to; second, these American executives are not very familiar with each other, and they also want to take this rare opportunity to strengthen communication.
"Mr. Zhou, you should still encourage domestic colleagues to take the initiative to communicate with American colleagues, even if it is just for the purpose of practicing oral English? I hope they can get familiar with each other as soon as possible."
The premise of integration is at least mutual understanding, and the premise of understanding is naturally communication.
Zhou Xingyu looked at the two small groups that were somewhat separated from each other, "No problem, don't worry Yiping, I guarantee that after this hike, they will definitely be in a group,"
"Yiping, I feel that after last night, many people have had a lot of feelings, and many people have a desire to talk. Tonight, would you like to organize an event to let everyone share each other's feelings and experiences?"
"Do we still need to organize this? It seems deliberate and makes people feel uncomfortable. If they can't hold it in anymore, they will naturally find someone to talk to. How great? We just need to pay attention to the guidance."
"Understood, tonight, in addition to those shows, I will ask the logistics team to make the atmosphere more warm, um, and prepare more wine,"

At the provincial capital airport, Cai Hong smiled and waved, "Here,"
"Little aunt," Huang Jingping pushed the baby stroller over and glanced at Cai Hong's slightly protruding belly, "Congratulations, it looks like she is more than 4 months old!"
"Yes, I was pregnant in June. Oh, little princess, please let your aunt and grandma hug me. How can I become a grandma?"
"No, don't bend down," Huang Jingping picked up Amanda, "Amanda, do you still remember this young and beautiful aunt?"
Amanda really didn't remember, she just kept staring at Cai Hong's belly, which made Cai Hong feel a little embarrassed, "Let's go, lunch has been prepared at home. After lunch, we will go back to Wuli'ao. The old lady at home I have long been looking forward to your coming back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival,"
"I have long wanted to come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is no better way to celebrate this kind of festival than at home," Huang Jingping said, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city outside the car.
"It's true that Yi Ping, why did he choose to do team building at this time, and didn't even mention coming back together," Cai Hong complained.
"He said that on days like today, everyone will be more vulnerable, more sensitive, and more willing to communicate with others," Huang Jingping said.
Cai Hong was stunned, "Oh, let me just say, Yiping must have his reasons for doing what he is doing now. In fact, you can go too. I heard that although they are in the wild, their protection is in place."
"He still hopes we can go home," Huang Jingping said.
In fact, this is mainly her intention. She now intends to reduce her appearance on some occasions as a quasi-boss lady - now that she has made a decision, she must do it properly.
Cai Hong didn't know the twists and turns, "That's good. We can go there in the future and let them provide the same protection as this time."

In the capital, Mr. Wang is extremely busy today. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the peak of activity for the people below, and naturally it is also the peak for him to receive gifts.
But his main task today is not to receive gifts. The gift he gave today was actually not very sincere.
His main task today is to entertain.
Even if they are waiting for others to ask for help, some relationships must be maintained well. Those below need them, so why don’t they need those below? This is actually a team.
So far, his small courtyard has received three groups of guests today, mainly those who have spent a lot of money, those who have real power below, and the old man's old subordinates.
When he saw Lao Ma, he immediately thought of something and waved to Lao Chen, "This time his girlfriend returns to China, we must seize the opportunity, hum, hope they are abroad," he patted Lao Chen shoulder, "I still have to rely on you,"
