Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

"Looking for someone to talk to?" His words made me a little confused. Who else can we talk to about management matters? Bai Hanchuan seemed to see what I was thinking and continued, "I mean professionals, such as professional management consulting companies."

I suddenly realized, "Yes, why didn't we think of this? We were so busy working that we ignored the need for external help. The next day, we contacted a management consulting company with a good reputation in the industry."

After the consulting team arrived, they did not rush to give a solution, but spent a whole week visiting various departments of the base, interviewing management and employees to understand the actual situation. I also took this opportunity to have in-depth exchanges with them and listen to their ideas and suggestions.

"Mr. Mu, I feel that the current management system is a bit rigid and limits our creativity and enthusiasm." A young department head confided to me.

"Yes, there are endless reports and plans to be done every day, leaving us too little time to truly think and innovate." Another experienced old employee expressed a similar view.

I carefully recorded their opinions and was deeply touched. It turned out that the problem was not with individual ability, but with the existing management model that restricted the vitality of the team.

After analysis, the consulting team submitted a detailed improvement plan to us, covering organizational structure adjustment, performance appraisal optimization, talent training plan, etc. We carefully studied the plan and made some modifications based on the actual situation of the base.

In the following months, we began to gradually promote reforms. We streamlined the cumbersome approval process and gave grassroots managers greater autonomy; we optimized performance appraisal indicators and paid more attention to employee contribution and growth; we also organized regular training to help management team members improve their management skills and leadership...

The reform process was not smooth sailing and encountered some resistance and doubts. However, we always adhered to our original intention, actively communicated, and patiently guided, and finally won everyone's understanding and support. The cohesion and combat effectiveness of the base management team have been significantly enhanced, and work efficiency has also been significantly improved.

Looking at all this, I was filled with a sense of relief and accomplishment. Bai Hanchuan came over and gently held my hand, with a smile on his face: "Jinli, we did it."

I smiled and nodded, yes, we did it. But I know that this is just a new beginning, and there will be more challenges waiting for us to face in the future.

"Oh, by the way," I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan as if I suddenly remembered something, "Didn't you say you would take me to..."

"By the way," I turned to look at Bai Hanchuan as if I suddenly remembered something, "Didn't you say you would take me to..." I deliberately dragged out the last syllable, with a sly smile between my eyebrows.

Bai Hanchuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and scratched my nose with a smile: "Little clever guy, you are teasing me again. Tell me, what did you remember?"

"What do you think?" I blinked mysteriously, "Who was it that promised me that he would take me to see the sea after the matter at the base was settled?"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Bai Hanchuan rubbed my hair lovingly, "When we're done with this busy period, we'll go to the beach and relax."

These days, although we are busy with work, we have learned how to balance career and family. We will take time to accompany our family, eat, chat, take walks, and enjoy the rare warm time together. The children have also clearly felt our changes and have become more lively and cheerful.

As the management team gradually matures, the operating efficiency of the planting base and the company has been greatly improved, and the performance has also improved significantly. Looking at the latest financial statements, Bai Hanchuan and I smiled at each other, and all the hard work and efforts were worth it.

"Jinli, have you ever thought that we can expand our business to other areas?" Bai Hanchuan pointed at the data on the report, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

I pondered for a moment and nodded: "I have the same idea. Now that the base is developing stably, we have accumulated a certain amount of experience and resources. It is time to consider the long-term development direction."

"I recently heard that some areas in the south are vigorously developing special economic zones. The policy environment and market prospects there are very good..." Bai Hanchuan lowered his voice and leaned close to my ear, with a hint of mystery in his tone.

My heart moved, and an inexplicable premonition came to my mind. Bai Hanchuan's words seemed to open a door to a whole new world for me...

"Dong dong dong..."

At this moment, a hurried knock on the door interrupted our conversation.

"Come in." Bai Hanchuan sat up straight and regained his usual composure.

The person who pushed the door open was the financial director of the base. He was holding a document in his hand, and his face was full of excitement. "Mr. Mu, Mr. Bai, good news! We won this year's Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Award!"

I took the document and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, our base's name was written on the list of winners. Bai Hanchuan and I smiled at each other. Our efforts over the past few months have finally been recognized.

This honor is not just a certificate, but also an affirmation of our business philosophy. We are well aware that in the fiercely competitive market environment, only by continuous innovation can we remain invincible. To this end, in addition to devoting ourselves to the construction of the base, Bai Hanchuan and I also used our spare time to participate in many industry exchange activities.

In these activities, we met many like-minded friends and learned a lot of advanced management experience and technical means. I remember one time when we went to the south to inspect a large agricultural demonstration park, the person in charge of the park shared their case of using the Internet of Things technology to achieve precision planting, which inspired me deeply.

After I came back, I discussed with Bai Hanchuan and decided to introduce this system to the base. Although the initial investment was huge, in the long run, this was undoubtedly the best choice to improve the base's efficiency. Facts have proved that our decision was correct. After the new system was put into operation, the base's production efficiency and product quality were significantly improved, which also won us more market share.

Of course, in addition to technological innovation, we also attach great importance to talent cultivation. We regularly organize employee training and encourage everyone to learn new knowledge and master new skills. We believe that only when the quality of employees is continuously improved can the company develop sustainably.

"Jinli, look, our efforts have not been in vain." Bai Hanchuan held my hand, his eyes shining with pride.

I nodded, my heart filled with joy and gratitude. Along the way, we have experienced ups and downs, but we have always supported each other and worked together. Today, we have not only achieved career success, but also have a happy family.

"Next, we still have a lot to do..." I looked out the window with a firm and confident gaze.

"I believe that as long as we work hand in hand, the future will be even better." Bai Hanchuan hugged me in his arms, his voice deep and powerful.

A few days later, the award ceremony was held in a hall in the city center. Bai Hanchuan and I, dressed in our best clothes, held hands, and stepped firmly onto the red carpet...

The award ceremony hall was brightly lit, and on the stage, the host announced the list of winners passionately. Finally, the name of our base was called, and Bai Hanchuan and I smiled at each other, and walked up to the podium hand in hand amid the warm applause of the people around us.

I was filled with emotion when I received the heavy trophy. This is not only a recognition of the strength of our base, but also an affirmation of the hard work that Bai Hanchuan and I have put in along the way. Under the stage, flashlights kept flashing, recording this glorious moment. I saw my family and friends in the crowd, looking at me excitedly, with proud smiles on their faces.

"Thank you to all the leaders, the judges, and all the friends who support the development of our base..." Bai Hanchuan took the microphone, and his steady voice echoed in the hall. "This honor belongs to everyone in our base and is the result of our joint efforts. In the future, we will continue to uphold the concept of 'science and technology to promote agriculture, quality-oriented' and contribute to the promotion of agricultural modernization!"

His speech was brief and powerful, winning long applause from the audience. I stood beside him, feeling the warmth of his palm, and my heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction. At this moment, I deeply realized that the meaning of struggle is not only to achieve success, but also to overcome difficulties with the people we love and create our own glory.

"Next, let's invite the award-winning representatives to take a group photo!" The host's voice brought me back to reality.

Bai Hanchuan and I stood hand in hand in the center of the podium, with confident smiles on our faces. The flash lights came on, freezing this beautiful moment. I know that this is just a new beginning, and there is still a long way to go. We will continue to move forward side by side and meet new challenges...

At this moment, my phone suddenly vibrated. I took out my phone and saw a message from the base sales manager. The content was just a short sentence:

"Boss Mu, something happened!"
