CHAPTER 157 - Organization of Work
Inside the conference room.
Morton's face was hard to see.
He didn't seem to have reacted until now to how he was now being dictated to by Ella in a meeting that was clearly his to dominate everything.
The moment Patrick stood at the podium before he could speak, Ella asked, "VP, there's no need for other supervisors who aren't involved in the short-board metrics to waste time in meetings that affect their productivity."
Morton blacked out, and had nothing to say at the moment.
After all, it's none of their business, and forcing them to stay for the meeting is a waste of other people's time.
Ella saw that Morton didn't say anything and assumed he acquiesced.
She called the supervisors who weren't involved in the short-range metrics, as well as the center managers, out of the conference room before allowing Patrick to debrief the project that was now One World Tower.
So everything is reported back.
Ella asked, "Does the vice president have any suggestions?"
Morton was clearly stumped by the question at the moment.
His weekly meetings of this kind were meant to enjoy the thrill of being reported on, and then use his power to criticize some poorly done indicators, without even thinking about it, to personally manage the grassroots landing work, and now that he was suddenly asked by Ella in this way, it was obvious that it made him a bit unable to get off the ground.
The conference room was awkward.
It became a bit silent because they were all waiting for Morton's answer and because Morton didn't answer.
For a moment.
The atmosphere was stiff to the core.
Morton's face was also hard to see.
It's been a long time.
He finally spoke, his voice tinged with anger, "This is something that your sales department should be thinking about, and now you come to ask me what to do instead? Then what do I want you sales department to do? Each one of you is holding on to a high salary, not using your brains at all, only knowing to look for the leader to solve the problem? Shouldn't the leader claim this salary of yours piece by piece."
Ella sneered.
She knew that Morton couldn't say a word.
After all, when it comes to business, Morton is pure crap.
All of his intellect went into how to deal with this thing with her dad, never thinking about gilding the lily.
"We were going to take the time to address and think about the development of this project, but isn't that time now occupied by the Vice President? So I assumed that the vice president had some guidance that he needed to mention to us, otherwise I don't see what the value of this meeting being there is!"
"Ella, that's enough." Morton was really tearing his hair out, so inconsiderate of who he was talking to Ella.
"I'm just upholding my responsibility for my work and I'm discussing my work with the vice president, what's the vice president so angry about?"
Morton was really pissed off by Ella, his face was red and white for a while, and he couldn't say a word again for a long time.
It was the atmosphere that, all of a sudden, became awkward again.
Morton really wants to be mad at Ella at the moment!
She seemed to find that spot every time and sarcastically put him off completely.
He suddenly rose from his chair in the conference room.
Everyone looked at him.
Morton said in a cold voice, ''Ella, you just joined the company, you don't know anything, I don't want to get into it with you, lest it gets to your father's ears and he says I bullied you again! Even now I am giving you time to work on your so-called short board indicators. But Ella, remember one thing, the company is not a place to come and let you argue, the company is a place to look at the performance, how arrogant and how able you are to talk now is useless, take the results to speak!"
"I'm honored to be taught by the Vice President." Ella was suddenly respectful.
Morton looked at Ella's appearance and really wanted to slap Ella twice.
He shook his hand and left the conference room with a vengeance.
Ella watched Morton's back and saw the door to the conference room room being slammed over hard by Morton with a sneer at the corner of her mouth.
After this, Morton is afraid that it should not call a meeting with the sales department casually.
She turned back to the supervisors and center managers who remained and said, "I'll try to condense the meeting to leave more time for you to get things done.Patrick will stay for a little while while the rest of you adjourn."
"Yes." Everyone left.
The moment they left, it was obvious that they could see the leaps in their eyes.
To know.
Meetings are really the biggest culprit taking up their work time, and once they are reduced, productivity doubles.
After the others left.
Ella said to Patrick, "I wanted to come to the meeting in the afternoon to arrange the work of the project, but since I happen to have the time, I'll give you my idea first, and after that, you make an arrangement, and we'll do the division of labor to determine it in the afternoon."
"Yes." Patrick nodded.
Ella gave Patrick some of the ideas she had just sorted out to discuss and explore, settling on a preliminary plan.
2pm.
Ella called a meeting with all the people involved in the One World Tower project.
"The usual, long story short, the meeting is in half an hour, Mr. Parker do the countdown." Ella was no nonsense, always to the point.
The thunder and lightning style just generates a great deal of goodwill.
And her meetings are all dry and full of ideas, and everyone has to be totally focused, and maybe a second or two of distraction can miss important key points.
Ella spoke up, "I went on a site visit to One World Tower yesterday and the problems are the three points Patrick mentioned. The subway station is canceled, luxury brands are reluctant to move in, and the rent is expensive. Now we need to do one by one to crack. First, the subway station cancellation, this point in fact can not become important that we do not attract traffic, after all, the beginning of our positioning is a high-level luxury shopping mall, come to shop this kind of shopping mall, basically will not use the subway to travel. So this point we do not need to be the scope of our need to consider. It also leaves two problems, in fact the most important one is just one, the inability to attract business."
"There are a lot of reasons why you can't attract business, but to put it most directly there is only one - merchants are worried about selling their merchandise. So ultimately, what we need now is how to help merchants to sell their products and how to get sales up in our malls. That's the focus we need to clarify and explore today."
All listened carefully and attentively.
Ella also does not sell, "For this problem, I have thought of a relevant marketing program, of course, not mature enough to need everyone to brainstorm, I will first throw a brick to attract jade. First of all, to the mall to create momentum. After the construction of the mall, in addition to the publicity done in the early stage, and not properly on the mall for a momentum, businessmen can not see the value of our mall, of course, will not be stationed in our commercial buildings, so the first step needs to be done to invest in advertising. Second, to determine the three to five luxury merchants, we give the mall rent reduction or sign a betting agreement to let them move in, using their signboards, to attract other merchants to follow the trend of moving in. Third, utilize the e-commerce platform to drive traffic, treating One World Tower as a large e-commerce marketplace, providing a convenient shopping channel for the high-end crowd!"
