《An introduction to the company’s main members》:

a. Chairman

b. The chairman’s younger brother (You can tell from his name alone that he is related to the chairman when he joins the company. All I can say is that marketing is definitely not his specialty.)

c. The chairman’s younger brother’s girlfriend (It was easy to discover, though she thought she was being discreet; marketing expertise?!... Her PowerPoints are probably very pretty, but as for their feasibility... ahem.)

d. The executive assistant group (At first there was one administrative secretary + one executive assistant who often accompanied the chairman on business trips and wrote proposals. Later, many young women were gradually added—one, two, three...)

e. A gentleman in the Business Planning Department (He really likes to say that he has work experience abroad and at a Taiwanese nutritional supplement company. He often shows colleagues proposals from the former company’s outsourced logistics partner or uses them as templates. It is genuinely difficult to see any constructive proposals from him, and he often has strange, illogical reasoning.)

f. Head of the Urban-Rural Development Department (A white-haired gentleman, in a very subtle department. The boss often asks him to handle matters unrelated to urban-rural development, so when people inexplicably need to discuss something with him, he often looks down his nose at them.)

g. A data-entry lady with considerable seniority (She looks harmless and greets people with a smile, but remember: don’t casually look for someone here to confide in~)

h. An older woman with many years of seniority who seems to be part of the executive assistant group (She was formerly a vice president in the travel industry and was also recruited by the chairman, but I’m not really sure what her job entails—browsing blogs? Reading books?)

i. A PhD whom the chairman brought in, claiming she was highly capable (The boss entrusted her with many major projects. Yet when writing the annual plan, there were no budget figures—only empty fantasies and illogical content. Her understanding of market marketing is genuinely weak, though she is apparently very good at whispering into the chairman’s ear.)

========================

1. The chairman has many ideas and wants to follow every trend, but only wants to do so after the opportunity has passed (e.g., direct selling; proprietary cleaning and health-care brands; mobile payments in Southeast Asia and Taiwan; mobile commerce for Southeast Asian migrant workers; medical tourism; regenerative technology, etc.). In reality, he also doesn’t know how to do any of them.

2. The chairman invests in many industries and projects, yet does not want internal employees to discuss what projects the various departments are working on. At the same time, he scolds you for not understanding what resources the company has or what the company does.

3. The chairman loves to manage directly. Supervisors often seem like decorations, which would be fine, but he also does not clearly tell employees what proposals they should write or what work they are responsible for. It feels as though you are expected to find work to do yourself; if you don’t do well, he complains, “How old are you? Do you still need someone to assign you work before you know what to do?” (Speechless.)

4. The chairman lacks a staff team capable of communicating and getting things done. Despite having so many projects, there are no senior professionals from the relevant industries. Instead, the chairman seems to trust his younger brother’s girlfriend very much. I don’t know why—she has never taken responsibility for a project from beginning to end; everything is left unfinished. Moreover, bringing people in actually feels like an attempt to clean up her messes.

5. Although many companies nowadays like to hire people first and then assign them suitable roles according to their expertise, you really need to communicate with employees in good faith~ Don’t just leave them there—how are employees supposed to know what they can do? Even with something as simple as ad placement, you say it can be done, but in the end you’re unwilling to spend even a little budget. You even make employees plan and buy small-ml bottles and portion the promotional gifts themselves. Please~ bacteria~ How can people get to know your brand when you’re so stingy?

One day you pour your heart out to someone, while behind your back they treat you heartlessly—and you don’t even know it.

☹ Is it really so difficult to focus on and seriously develop one thing? (Investing in countless things)
