A short story of enterprises seeing the big from the small

1 See the big from the small: look at the German-made PK made in China from three short stories. I am used to young people rushing to go to college, but when I went to Germany, I found that young people here seem to prefer vocational schools. After a few days, I found the benefits of the prosperity of vocational education, because everything made in Germany is of good quality. This cannot but be said to be the credit of vocational education.

Let's start with three short stories. I bought a ballpoint pen in Dü sseldorf, Germany. This has fallen to the ground for more than a dozen times, and it still works. But the author's experience in China is that the ballpoint pen will be scrapped once or twice.

Second, when traveling in various cities in Germany, local house prices basically remain unchanged or slightly decrease. After World War II, the state of destruction in China was basically similar to that in Germany, but it took a short time for Germany to realize "home ownership", and the number of families was basically the same as that of houses. The reason is that a large number of old houses can be used after simple transformation. The house of a friend of the author has a history of 120 years. I thought it was an old house, with mottled exterior walls and dark interior. Unexpectedly, it was no worse than domestic villas in both appearance and interior.

In addition, it is very pleasant to drive on the German highway. There is no speed limit on many sections, and drivers can drive at a speed of nearly 250 kilometers per hour. The Germans said that the average thickness of cement on the highway pavement is 70 cm, which can take off and land planes and drive tanks. Germans have never heard of any road subsidence or collapse accidents.

After World War II, Britain was an important importer of German goods. However, the country's insistence that Germans label products as "Made in Germany" was initially an insulting punishment. But after a few years, people found that all the goods printed with "Made in Germany" were of particularly good quality and sold well in the market. Therefore, "Made in Germany" has become synonymous with quality and reputation in Britain. Now, "Made in Germany" enjoys a high reputation all over the world.

There are many reasons why the quality made in Germany is so good. For example, the German concept of incorruptibility rarely leads to corruption cases in various road and bridge constructions. If this happens, it will be severely criticized by newspapers all over the country and become a scandal, which may even lead to criminal punishment or the resignation of local officials. How this concept of incorruptibility came into being is actually due to the German education system. Back to the manufacturing industry, although there have been various changes in recent years, most students are still trained as manufacturing talents.

Generally speaking, only 30% of school-age young people in Germany go to college, and nearly 30% of them will be eliminated during their college years. After graduating from junior high school, students began to be diverted: some students who are interested in going to college enter ordinary high schools for another four years, continue their studies to grade 13, and then go directly to college. Another part of students who are interested in mechanical work enter vocational schools, study for another three years and find jobs, while others enter universities. This part of the students studying in vocational schools have to sign two contracts after entering the school: the first one is the training contract signed with the school. The contract stipulates what level students should reach after three years of training; The second is the contract signed by students and enterprises under the arrangement of relevant departments. The contract stipulates that students practice in enterprises while studying, and begin to get paid after a certain stage. Based on the different skill requirements and difficulty levels of different industries, the class requirements of theoretical courses and practical courses are also different. For occupations that require high practical skills, students go to enterprises as apprentices for four days a week and have a theoretical class at school for one day.

Relevant experts believe that students can quickly turn theoretical knowledge into practice in vocational schools, so that students can find a lot of fun from it. Secondly, students gradually complete the transformation from students to social people. If they behave well, they can directly change from apprentices to formal workers in internship enterprises after the internship period, thus saving the trouble of finding jobs.

Germans are more practical, because vocational schools can get wages and integrate into society quickly, so most students are willing to go to vocational schools. However, the university system in Germany is comparable to that in our country, with an average age of 27.5 years and a strong elimination rate, so universities are not attractive. Persistence is a virtue.

After graduating from junior college, Millin went to a city in the south to apply for a job. After some efforts, she and two other girls were initially hired by a company. The probation period is one month. If they pass the probation, they will be hired.

During this month, Millin and two girls worked hard. On the 29th day, the company graded them one by one according to their business ability.

As a result, although Millin is also excellent, she is still one or two points lower than the other two girls.

Manager Wang of the company asked his subordinates to inform Millin: "Tomorrow is your last day of work, and you can check out the bill the day after tomorrow."

On the last day of work, two girls who were retained were concerned and advised Millin, "Anyway, tomorrow the company will give you a one-month probation salary, so you don't have to go to work today." Millin smiled and said, "I haven't finished what I did yesterday. It's not too late for me to leave after I finish that work. " By three o'clock in the afternoon, Millin had finished the last job. Someone advised her to get off work early, but she smiled, unhurriedly wiped her busy tables and chairs clean and spotless, and got off work with her "colleagues". She felt full and stood in the last class. Other employees were moved to see her being so serious.

The next day, Millin went to the company's finance department to settle the bill. She was about to leave when she met manager Wang. Manager Wang said to her, "Don't go. From today, you will go to work in the quality inspection department. " Hearing this, Millin was shocked. She doesn't believe such a good thing will happen. Manager Wang smiled and said, "I secretly observed you for a long time yesterday afternoon. You still work so hard in the face of your career. Persistence is a rare virtue. It happens that the quality inspection department of our company is short of a quality inspector. I believe you will do well there. " Millin was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes.

Exchange voluntary labor for formal work.

After graduating from Cyndi Luo University, I missed employment opportunities several times. On this day, according to the information in the newspaper, he went to a domestic company to apply. Unexpectedly, the company recruited eight employees, but hundreds of people signed up. When Luo Jing filled out the form and waited patiently in line for the interview of the person in charge of the company, an employee-like person came up to them and said, "Our boss will not arrive for another hour. Now I need your help urgently: there are several trucks of cement over there, and it's going to rain, so I can't find a porter at the moment. I want to ask you to help me unload cement voluntarily, ok? " Everyone saw that he was also a member of our company, so they wanted to set out to help unload cement. But some people say, "unloading cement is a worker's business, and we don't need to sell him coolies." In this way, more than half of the people stood still, but Cyndi Luo and a few people stepped out of the team and took the initiative to unload cement with that person.

More than half of the cement was unloaded, and the man came to talk again: "Sorry, everyone, our boss just called. He said he couldn't come today. I am really sorry. " These college students who are unloading cement are impatient, and some say, "Isn't this a deliberate trick on us? Quit! " Some said, "We are not employees of their company, so I can't do voluntary labor!" " Hula, I walked more than half at once. Luo Jing and several others insisted on unloading all the cement.

When they finished washing their faces with their hands under the tap, the man who just asked them to unload cement smiled and said to them, "Congratulations, you all passed the special exam I designed just now. From now on, you are the official employees of our company. " These college students who passed the "special exam" realized that this humble "employee" was actually their boss.

There is a young man who works in an American oil company. All he did was patrol to make sure that the fuel tank cap was welded automatically. When the oil tank moves to the turntable on the conveyor belt, the welding flux will automatically fall and rotate around the cover, and the operation is over. He does this every day, staring at this kind of homework hundreds of times over and over again, which is boring and boring. He wants to start a business, but he has no other skills. He found that when the jar turned, 39 drops of flux fell, and the welding work was over. He thought, is there anything that can be improved in this series of work? One day, it suddenly occurred to him: if one or two drops of flux can be reduced, can some costs be saved? So, after some research, he finally developed a 37-drop welding machine. However, the oil tank welded by this machine occasionally leaks oil, which is not ideal. But he never gave up and developed a "38 drops" welding machine. This invention is perfect, and the company speaks highly of him. Soon this machine was produced and a new welding method was used. Although only one drop of flux was saved, "one drop" brought the company a new profit of $500 million a year. This young man is john D Rockefeller, the oil magnate who later mastered 95% of the real power of the American oil industry. Comments: Life changes always start from a small aspect. "Improved welding machine" changed Rockefeller's life. The key to his success lies in: he pays special attention to ordinary things that ordinary people often ignore; You can see what others don't, and you can do what others can't. With this foundation, enterprises will be able to achieve "no one has me, people have me new, people are new and I change". From childhood to childhood 1, the story of john D Rockefeller There was a young man who worked in an oil company in the United States. What he does is to check whether the fuel tank cover is welded automatically. When the oil tank moves to the turntable on the conveyor belt, the welding flux will automatically fall and rotate around the cover, and the operation is over. He does this every day, staring at this kind of homework hundreds of times over and over again, which is boring and boring. He wants to start a business, but he has no other skills.

Anyone who has been to the temple by employing people knows that Amitabha was the first to greet guests with a smiling face as soon as he entered the temple gate, but to his north, Wei Tuo was the black face of Darkmouth. But according to legend, a long time ago, they were not in the same temple, but in charge of different temples. Buddha Miller is enthusiastic and happy, so many people come, but he doesn't care about anything, and his accounts are improperly managed, so he still can't make ends meet. Although Wei Tuo was a cook in charge of accounts, he was unhappy all day, which was too serious. He made fewer and fewer friends and finally died. Buddha found this problem when he was looking for incense, so he put them in the same temple. Maitreya was in charge of public relations and greeted all the guests with smiles, so the incense was flourishing. And Wei Tuo is impartial, he will be better than others, so let him be in charge of finance and strictly control it. In the division of labor and cooperation between the two people, the temple flourished. In fact, in the eyes of the master of employing people, people without waste, like martial arts masters, can hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves without expensive swords. The key is how to use them. 3. Parrot A person went to buy a parrot and saw a parrot's doorplate saying: This parrot can speak two languages, and the price is 200 yuan. In front of another parrot, it was written: This parrot can speak four languages, and the price is 400 yuan. Which one should I buy? Both are shiny, very flexible and lovely. The man turned and couldn't make up his mind. Suddenly I found a parrot with a tooth missing. Its coat color is dim and messy, and its price is 800 yuan.

The man quickly called the boss: Can this parrot speak eight languages? The shopkeeper said, no, this person is very strange: then why is it so old, so ugly and so incompetent that it is worth this number? The shopkeeper replied: because the other two parrots call this parrot boss. This story tells us that a real leader is not necessarily strong in his own ability. As long as he knows how to trust, how to delegate and how to cherish, he can unite forces stronger than himself and thus enhance his value. On the contrary, many people with very strong abilities are too perfectionist and hands-on, and no one can match them. In the end, I can only be the best researcher and sales representative, but I can't be an excellent leader. 4. Kangaroos and Cages One day, the city zoo found that kangaroos had escaped from their cages, so they held a meeting to discuss and agreed that the height of the cages was too low. So they decided to raise the height of the cage from 10 meter to 20 meters. As a result, the next day they found that kangaroos were still running outside, so they decided to raise the height to 30 meters again. I didn't expect to see all the kangaroos running outside the next day. The keeper was very nervous and decided to raise the height of the cage to 100 meters. One day a giraffe was chatting with some kangaroos. "Do you think these people will continue to keep your cage?" Asked the giraffe. "It's hard to say." Kangaroo said, "If they continue to forget to close the door!" " "Management experience: from beginning to end, severity and severity". Closing the door is the origin, lifting the cage is the end, and it certainly doesn't matter to give up the origin and pursue the end. What is management? Management is to analyze the main contradiction and secondary contradiction of things first, and understand the "background", "severity" and "urgency" of things clearly, and then start from important aspects. 5, the medical skills Wei asked the famous doctor: "Your three brothers are all good at medical skills. Which is the best? Bian Que replied: "The eldest brother is the best, the second brother is the second, and I am the worst." . "King Wen asked again," Then why are you the most famous? " Bian Que replied, "My brother treated this disease before the onset of the disease. Because most people don't know that he can eradicate the cause in advance, his fame can't spread; Brother Zhong treated the disease at the early stage. Most people think that he can only treat minor illnesses, so his reputation only extends to his own village. When my illness is serious, I will treat it. Most people have seen me perform major operations such as bloodletting on meridians and applying medicine to the skin, so they think that my medical skills are brilliant and my reputation has spread all over the country. "Management experience: control after the event is not as good as control in the event, and control in the event is not as good as control in advance. Unfortunately, most business operators don't realize this and wait until the wrong decision has caused huge losses before seeking compensation. Often even if a well-known "airborne soldier" is invited, the result will not help. 6. A guest visited someone's house and saw that the chimney on the stove was straight and there was a lot of wood beside it. The guest told the host that the chimney had to be bent and the wood had to be removed, otherwise it might catch fire later, but the host didn't give any indication.

Soon, the owner's house caught fire, and the neighbors rushed to put out the fire. Finally, the fire was put out, so the owner cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle to entertain his neighbors and rewarded them for their contribution to the fire fighting, but he didn't invite anyone who suggested that he move the wood and change the chimney. Someone said to the host, "if you had listened to that gentleman, you wouldn't have to prepare a banquet today, and there would be no fire damage." It is very strange now that the person who gave you advice is not grateful, but the person who put out the fire is a guest! " The host suddenly realized that he quickly invited the guest who had given the suggestion to have a drink. Management experience: Generally speaking, people who can settle or solve various thorny problems in the business process are excellent managers. In fact, this is debatable. As the saying goes, "prevention is more important than cure", preventing problems before they happen is better than treating chaos afterwards. From this perspective, the prevention of enterprise problems is actually better than the solution of enterprise problems. In a fierce battle, the captain suddenly found an enemy plane swooping down to the position. As usual, don't hesitate to lie down when you find the enemy plane diving. But the captain didn't lie down at once. He found a little soldier still standing four or five meters away from him. He didn't think much, and a diving fly pressed the little soldier tightly under him. At this time, there was a loud noise, and the splashing soil fell on them. The captain patted the dust on his body and looked back, suddenly stunned: a big hole was blown out of his position just now. 8. In ancient times, when going out, two brothers each took a suitcase to go out. Along the way, the heavy suitcase weighed down the brothers. When their left hand is tired, they have to change their right hand, and when their right hand is tired, they have to change their left hand. Suddenly, Big Brother stopped, bought a pole by the roadside, and hung two suitcases on the pole. He picked up two boxes and set off, but he felt much more relaxed. It may be far-fetched to link these two stories together, but they do have striking similarities: the little soldier and little brother in the story are lucky, but the captain and little brother in the story are even luckier, because they help themselves while helping others! Management experience: We will certainly encounter many difficulties in our life. But don't we all know that on the way forward, moving stumbling blocks under others' feet is sometimes just paving the way for ourselves? 9. The son of the fish king has a fisherman, who has first-class fishing skills and is honored as the "fish king". But' Fishing King' is very upset when he is old, because his three sons have average fishing skills. So a man often tells people his troubles: "I really don't understand, my fishing skills are so good, why is my son so bad?" From the time they were sensible, I taught them fishing skills, starting with the most basic things, telling them how to weave a net to catch fish most easily, how to row a boat without disturbing the fish most, and how to get off the net to invite the fish to the tank most easily. When they grow up, I will teach them how to know the tide and distinguish the fish season. . . I have taught them all the experience I have worked hard for many years, but their fishing skills can't catch up with the sons of fishermen whose skills are worse than mine! "A passerby heard his story and asked," Have you been teaching them hand in hand? ""Yes, I taught them very carefully and patiently in order to give them first-class fishing skills. " "Have they been following you?" "Yes, I always let them follow me in order to make them avoid detours." Passers-by said, "In this case, your mistake is obvious. "You only taught them technology, didn't teach them lessons. For talents, no lessons can make people great, just like no experience! " 10, the apple by the river An old monk was surrounded by a group of devout monks. On this day, he asked everyone to go to Nanshan to pick up a load of firewood. * * * * people hurried to the river not far from the mountain, and everyone was dumbfounded. I saw the flood rushing down from the mountain, and I couldn't cross the river to collect firewood in any case. In vain, * * * are depressed. There is only one young monk and master who are calm and stand opposite each other. When the master asked him why, the young monk took an apple out of his arms and handed it to the master, saying that he could not cross the river to collect firewood. When he saw an apple tree by the river, I picked the only apple on it. Later, the young monk became a descendant of the master. There are endless roads and rivers in the world. It is also a kind of wisdom to turn around if you can't cross the river. But true wisdom must do one thing by the river: fly the kite of thought and pick an "apple". Throughout ancient and modern times, people who hold such a belief in life have finally achieved a breakthrough and transcendence in life. 1 1. Holding your wife's hand with your right hand is like holding your left hand with your right hand. Every time someone reads: a table of familiar or unfamiliar people will smile knowingly, and the atmosphere will be relaxed immediately. Of course, this is based on people's consistent understanding of jingles-accurate feeling and appropriate description. One day at the dinner table, someone read this sentence again, and the men laughed as usual. Later, I found a woman at the dinner table who didn't laugh. Men are busy talking and joking. Don't take it seriously I didn't expect the woman to say seriously: the best thing is to hold the left hand with the right hand. First, the left hand is most trusted by the right hand; Second, the left hand and the right hand belong to one; Third, how do other hands make you happy and excited? After that, you can chop off your hand, leaving only your left hand. Without it, it's not complete, right? A table full of men admire and praise the profound and unique understanding of women. Women simply say: What is profound and unique? You might as well go back and read it to your wives and see what they say.

Some brave men really went back to test their wives, and sure enough their understanding was the same as that of the ladies at the dinner table.

They are all left-handed, so men should count with their left hands.

They are all right-handed, of course, they think they are right-handed.
