Chapter 16 Love the motherland and strive to build

One of the things that made Bao Yugang happy in recent years was that he made Deng Xiaoping quit smoking. In September 1989, Bao Yugang's family visited Beijing at the invitation of Deng Xiaoping and had dinner at Deng Xiaoping's home. The two families renew their friendship.A day later, Bao Yugang invited Deng Xiaoping to dinner at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse again in the name of returning an invitation. Early the next morning, Bao Yugang happily told his friends that Deng Xiaoping had given up smoking.Maybe Bao Yugang's speaking skills are amazing. Even Deng Xiaoping, a veteran smoker, was persuaded to quit smoking. Bao Yugang thought it was his victory.

One of the special cultures within YK Pao's company is no smoking.Most of the employees have quit smoking under his influence, but some of them are more stubborn and still can't quit smoking. Once the company held a banquet and invited employees to have dinner together.Among the audience, there is an old courtier, whom I call Mr. He, who still hasn't given up smoking.Although He Jun didn't smoke in front of Bao Yugang, Bao Yugang knew about it.During the meal, Bao Yugang said to He Jun in front of everyone: Why do you look so bad? He Jun was taken aback when he heard this, and was greatly moved by the boss' concern.But Bao Yugang immediately said: Is it because you still smoke?After He Jun heard this, he really felt a little sorry.

Most of the people who associate with Bao Yugang know that he is against smoking.The smoker is also knowledgeable and never smokes in front of him.But people from China don't know.However, Pao Yu-Kang's staff also has a way to deal with smokers. It is said that Bao Yugang once held a meeting with the Ministry of Culture in China, and one of the vice ministers was a heavy smoker.When he smoked the first cigarette, Bao Yugang's daughter immediately coughed loudly and badly, and the deputy minister was also alert and put out the cigarette immediately. The most troublesome thing is that this deputy minister is very addicted to smoking. Due to politeness, he can't go out of the room to smoke.

In short, facing harmful things, Bao Yugang strongly opposes them, and hopes that others will follow him and reduce smoking. Bao Yugang has good results in financial management, but he is always penniless on weekdays.A friend who worked with Bao Yugang said that in the past ten years, it is believed that Bao Yugang has never touched money, because he has a habit of not carrying a purse.He has no money, no credit cards, and maybe even a pen. All he has is a punctual and cheap electronic Seiko watch. When he needed money, he would ask the people around him to pay for it. For example, if he wanted a reward of one or two hundred yuan, he would ask his secretary to pay for it.

From the fact that Bao Yugang donated money to Ningbo University, it can be seen how well he uses money.Ningbo University can be built within the specified time according to the budget, and the credit should go to Bao Yugang. When Ningbo City asked to build a university, Bao Yugang agreed.But the condition is to follow his project management method.First, the Ningbo municipal authorities had to submit a building plan.List the steps of the entire project and the materials required for construction, and then write out the estimated construction cost, and Bao Yugang will donate according to the quotation.

During the construction process, reports must be submitted to Bao Yugang at regular intervals.If the project was delayed, or the expenditure exceeded the budget, Bao Yugang asked for an explanation, analyzed each problem, and revised the construction.Therefore, the entire Ningbo University was built at the scheduled time and at the scheduled cost. During the construction, the engineers were also complaining, a majestic ship tycoon, who cares about everything, donates money but doubts others, and has long expressed dissatisfaction.However, thanks to Bao Yugang's management techniques, Ningbo University was able to complete the project on schedule.

Domestic work efficiency is often low.Because those who donated money are embarrassed to inquire one by one, the person who executes it will profit from it.Bao Yugang understood that in order to complete a job, he had to do it himself.If we are always afraid of meddling because of human feelings, the result is that everyone messes up too. Bao Yugang is very good at handling business and interpersonal relationships, but what about machines?But no interest, it can be said that the machine is an idiot. Since he didn't go for a morning swim at the beach, Pao Yugang's transportation to work has been changed to Rolls Royce.On the way to work, he likes to listen to some classical music. Like a young man, he also has a Walkman in his hand, but every three or two days, he tells his secretary that the Walkman is broken.

The secretary took a look and found that it wasn't that the camera was broken, but that the tape hadn't been transferred.Bao Yugang focused his energy on things that would yield practical gains. He even refused to spend time learning how to switch the Walkman on and off. Many successful people are like this. The inventor Edison once queued up to buy stamps, because he was thinking about a question while waiting, the ticket seller saw him and asked him his name, Edison actually said he didn't know. The famous scientist Einstein also has a similar story.One day Einstein was riding a streetcar in New York, and the conductor gave him some change. Einstein looked at the conductor and said: The count was wrong.The conductor counted the money in Einstein's hand again and found that it was correct, so he said: "Mr., please learn to add and subtract!"Or Einstein's mathematical thinking is not a small number!

Professor Tang Junyi, a famous philosopher at Chinese University, had a similar story.One day after taking a shower, Professor Tang actually put on the underwear that he had taken off not long ago, and gave the clean clothes in front of him to his wife for washing. The reason why a person succeeds lies entirely in concentrating his mind, not for two purposes.When they are thinking about a problem, they will definitely not have distracting thoughts in their minds. In addition to not spending time on the machine, Bao Yugang also doesn't memorize phone numbers.Once, when he was going to a reception, he suddenly remembered that he had something important to do first. Since he was fifteen minutes earlier than the agreed time, the driver of course did not show up.After waiting for five minutes, Bao Yugang couldn't bear it anymore, and said to the secretary: Call him in the car to urge him!Secretary asked: what phone number?

Bao Yugang said in astonishment that he didn't know.The secretary said again: Call home and ask! Bao Yugang showed an even more strange expression. It turned out that he didn't even know the phone number at home. Because Bao Yugang has someone to do the small things for him, it has caused him to be dependent, but what about money and business?He is very shrewd. To do business, you must know how to behave.In terms of interpersonal relationships, Bao Yugang can be regarded as a first-rate master.Bao Yugang understands that giving a gift is not about the size of the gift itself, but about the value of the gift itself to the recipient.

Song Jiang in "Water Margin" is nicknamed Jiyu. Song Jiang is not a rich man. He gives money to people for emergency. Bao Yugang's remuneration for his subordinates is of course attractive. In addition, what is more attractive to senior staff is the convenience of paying taxes. The tax may not be a large amount, but it can tie the hearts of the staff. In Bao Yugang's office desk, there is often a list of gifts, and what is given to whom is recorded. Bao Yugang has a kung fu of seeing people in a subtle way.Once, a Japanese manufacturer wanted to charter a ship with Pao Yu-Kang for ten years.The tenant applied to Bao Yugang's company, but Bao Yugang did not respond. The subordinates felt strange, so they asked Bao Yugang if he wanted to sign a contract with the Japanese manufacturer. Bao Yugang always said: later, later.A few days later, Bao Yugang decided not to charter the boat to the Japanese, because it was a gamble to find out that the Japanese, if the ten-year charter contract was signed, and something happened to the Japanese, it would hurt Bao Yugang's shipping company. Two years later, the Japanese businessman had an accident because of gambling and went bankrupt. When it comes to dealing with gifts for interpersonal relationships, Pao Yu-Kang will do his best when the time is right.To commemorate the signing of the "Joint Statement" between China and the UK, he promoted the Sino-British student exchange program, which included a $50 million scholarship program, with 40% donated by Yu-Kang Pao himself and donated by the Chinese government Forty percent, while the British government contributed 20 percent.According to regulations, the Chinese government sends 400 PhD candidates to the UK for further study every year. Bao Yugang has a very strong sense of locality. He once said: Doing business always hopes to make money, but when doing business with China, I have a basic principle: do not make a penny in the country!We are all Chinese, and we should take some practical actions to support the country's four modernizations, shelter our hometown, and repay the kindness of our hometown. Everyone who interviewed Pao Yugang was entrusted to repeat such words: Do more for the Chinese people!We Chinese, how pitiful, look at the lives of most Chinese!If you also look at Japan, you will know!Bao Yugang's love for the motherland is endless. When he succeeds, of course he will return home in glory.When Deng Xiaoping set things right and announced that China would turn around and implement an open national policy, Bao Yugang set foot in Beijing after passing through Japan in 1978. Since then, he has successively invested in the shipbuilding industry, hoping to rely on his own experience , so that the shipping industry in the hometown was re-established.Deng Xiaoping admired Bao Yugang very much, saying that he was enthusiastic about the construction of the motherland, and he had personally practiced for the realization of one country, two systems, and he had contributed to the country. To commemorate the signing of the "Joint Declaration" between China and the UK, Pao Yugang took the lead in organizing a scholarship program for Chinese students to study in the UK, allocating funds for the motherland to train 400 doctoral talents to study in the UK every year.Because he firmly believes that cultivating talents is the foundation of education.For this reason, he generously donated a huge sum of money to build Ningbo University.He not only contributes money, but also exerts effort. Bao Yugang's spirit of hard work has directly influenced those domestic staff, making them understand that the key to success is to follow up on everything and supervise the implementation in every detail.The work style in mainland China is always procrastinating, but after Bao Yugang carefully supervised the project, Ningbo University was completed on schedule, and the construction cost was just within the budget.The administrative efficiency of mainland officials was thus improved. Of course, Bao Yugang donated more to his hometown Ningbo, often donating to build bridges and roads.Pao Yukang's key program every year is that he brings his whole family and invites friends from the media to visit relatives in his hometown.Bao Yugang ran to his primary school very excitedly, sat on the bench where he studied sixty or seventy years ago, and went to sit on the bed in his newly married bridal chamber with his wife Huang Xiuying. The excitement of this kind of wanderer returning to his hometown is beyond description.The way the couple celebrated was to build Ningbo University.Celebrating in this way is more meaningful than celebrating in other ways.
