Japanese enterprises go to work

Xiaomo passed the interview in a muddle, happily went to the street to buy several sets of professional clothes, and had a good meal with her roommate Xiaojun, and then they went to the lakeside bar to drink.

"from tomorrow, I will work in a Japanese company! I want to go abroad in a few years, and then I will rush out of Asia and go to the world! " Xiaomo raised his glass and shouted at the distance of the lake.

"I also want to rush out of the world and fly to the moon ~" Xiao Jun, who just entered a multinational company, gulped down the remaining beer in his glass.

The other side of the ocean is their yearning. Both of them are 26 years old and insist on not falling in love. They are warming each other in a strange city. In order to go abroad one day, go to the other side of the world, work hard, get a foothold, get married and have children, and take root there

The company's commuter bus is where Xiaomo first meets her new colleagues. In the early morning, the tall and neat bus stopped at the gate of Xiaomo's rented community, with the logo of "Takada Electric" printed on it, which made people wonder what kind of elite was sitting inside, so they deserved such a well-known company. Xiaomo got on the bus in the eyes of passers-by. Today, she wore a black professional dress, with her beautiful face slightly light makeup, which made people shine. The driver's uncle greeted her with a smile; "Good morning! Please find an empty seat in the back! " The interior of the bus was clean and comfortable. She walked along the aisle to the back of the bus and greeted her sleepy colleagues one by one. She couldn't hear her voice. She sat down next to a slightly fat female colleague with glasses. She was just about to say hello when the lesbian gave her a big bright smile in advance, and a Japanese "good morning" caught her off guard. What Japanese? What should I do? What should I say? Oh, oh, oh, oh, hello. . . Before she finished, the other person put away her smile and continued to read the book in her hand, saying nothing more. In this way, she was in a mixed mood all the way.

after entering the company, Xiao Mo found her own department. She arrived early. In order to show her hospitality, she swept the land in her department and wiped the table. At this time, the aunt who cleaned it came over and said enthusiastically, I'll take care of these. The embarrassing scene was seen by Huang Kechang of the personnel department, and Huang Kechang called her to go through the entry formalities.

"Fill in the form and have a look at the salary. If there is no problem, sign it."

Xiao Mo glanced at it quickly; Basic salary, overtime allowance, accommodation allowance, translation allowance and catering allowance are quite a few, and five insurances and one gold are all complete. She signed her name with satisfaction.

I have read a thick employee code: no eating or drinking in the office. She frowned and made a point on this article.

There are ten new colleagues in this group. They studied the management regulations of the company together in the first week. Two pamphlets that add up to less than 2 pages, and a week is too long. Everyone was bored and leafed through it, but they were afraid to say more. Xiaomo observed the colleagues coming and going out of the window. It seems that everyone is very busy and no one is idle. After work, Xiaomo stayed specially. Every day, some people in the finance department and the sales department where she is about to enter stayed to work overtime. Those who are above the section chief are all Japanese, and they can't work overtime every day. The finance minister met the woman who greeted her in the car. She argued with the sales department almost every day, and it was very difficult. Xiaomo seems to have a premonition of something and read the employee handbook in her hand more carefully. If she is accidentally caught in the future, she will be miserable.

in Japanese enterprises, the sales department is the sales department, that is, the department where Xiaomo will enter. The difference is that the customers are all Japanese companies. These foreign companies have their own supply chains when they invest and build factories in China. For example, Japanese companies only ask Japanese companies that also invest in China to buy raw materials, and their products are also sold to Japanese companies, and their end products are sold to Japan or Europe and America. Taiwan Province companies buy and sell with Taiwan Province companies, and Korean companies buy and sell with Korean companies. They occasionally cooperate with each other, but cooperation with domestic factories is rare. To say something that hurts self-esteem, although the raw materials in China are cheap, the production technology is far from meeting the requirements. Not only that, domestic enterprises take bribes, procrastinate, cut corners and have a low yield. It is not allowed to stop work because of material problems in efficient production.

Xiao Mo can enter her own department. Her leader, Xiao Xiong, is a very decisive and capable Japanese man. She speaks Chinese very well, but she communicates in Japanese in the company. There are seven colleagues in the same department, who sit around a long table, just like a meeting, with the leaders sitting at the head and the members sitting on both sides in two rows. Usually they don't talk to each other at work, and they use email to convey and report their work. Xiaomo was not used to this atmosphere at first, and the air became very dignified.

"Mo Sang, please check your email. You can't miss it." A slightly awkward pronunciation came from Chinese. Xiao Xiong section chief specially used Chinese to take care of the new couple, and Xiaomo's seat was "accidentally" arranged next to the section chief. She spoke a very poor Japanese when she was nervous; "hey! Hi! Vaccari Masi him! " Colleagues cast strange eyes.

to what extent should Japanese be used in Japanese enterprises? Let's just say that if you use all the sentences you learned from books, it will be considered as a beginner in Japanese. No matter how awesome your certificate and academic qualifications are, you will be required to strengthen your Japanese study, and even the company will pay you to take a training class outside for further study. Japanese has been used for a long time in our work and life, and everyone will have something similar to the mantra mixed in it, just like the 6-no-6 in our Chinese. This will shorten the distance, and the kind of statement we learned in books will only be used when making reports and meetings.

what's embarrassing about working in a Japanese company? Even if you fart, you will be known. Everyone sits next to each other without a partition, and your immediate superior also sits with everyone. Your every move is in the eyes of leaders and colleagues. So everyone just works without talking, doesn't look at the mobile phone, and doesn't make small moves. Only when resting in the lounge can you talk with your close colleagues.

many people who have never been to a Japanese company in such an environment should feel terrible, but they are very comfortable when they really come in. Why? When you don't want to do anything at work, you just bury yourself in your work, stare at the email, and the leader arranges tasks and ears, so that you won't make mistakes, and all the work is like a pre-set program. Just get rid of it as usual at your step. There won't be any unexpected situation, just extend the time at most, and it won't be chaotic. When it's time to rest, you can go to the lounge with a teacup and cock your legs to brag and drink tea. When you get off work, you get off work. There are few phone calls harassing you, and the frequency of overtime is very low. In order to save costs, the company will not arrange overtime when it is not necessary. Occasionally, leaders will organize a rest day party, which is the kind of party that is purely fun and not talking about business. Leaders and colleagues are just like normal friends without those empty formalities. Well, it is impossible to make it really the same, but it is very relaxing.

when the Japanese have a rest day, it's a real rest. They don't answer their work calls. Therefore, we generally do not handle customers' work calls on rest days, and generally say politely after answering them; All the important members of the company are resting, and everything arranged before is in normal operation. If you have any special demands, wait until you go to work. Because the client company is also like this, it is generally accepted.

So I think that although the atmosphere in Japanese companies is very depressing, on the whole, the mental pressure is not great, everything is step by step, work and rest are combined, and interpersonal relationships seem tense but not complicated. All my colleagues and customers I have come into contact with think so, so people who have entered Japanese companies usually jump in Japanese companies even if they change jobs.

Xiao Mo was embarrassed at first, but she spent the most valuable years in her career in this company and had many interesting things with her colleagues. Now Xiaomo is nervous and curious about the new environment, full of enthusiasm for her new job, and there are some interesting colleagues waiting to make friends. I really look forward to the following story!

Xiaomi at the same table

Xiaomo has just come into contact with business. Section Chief Xiao Xiong didn't arrange any specific work, but told Xiaomo's deskmate Xiaomi to take her. Xiaomi is a sweet-looking girl. She speaks fluent Japanese, dresses up very fashionably and speaks softly. At first glance, she looks like a Japanese girl. The two are very speculative, but Xiaomi is usually very busy and can't say a few words.

Xiao Mo leafs through the documents given by Xiaomi, which are all forms commonly used in the department. Eating at noon this day, Xiaomi said to Xiaomo's ear; "Come with me to the restaurant quickly. If you have something good, come quietly." Small foam stepped up to keep up with Xiaomi, and colleagues in the restaurant department gathered around a dining table, only to see that the dining table was filled with all kinds of dishes, which was originally ordered by section chief Xiao Xiong at a nearby Japanese food store. Colleagues warmly greeted Xiaomo, and Xiaomo's heart warmed up. She left home alone in this strange city, groping and suffering from supercilious eyes. This was the only time that she was welcomed by so many people. Her eyes were half red and she smiled with emotion.

Xiaomi tells Xiaomo; Section chief Xiao Xiong is really nice. He not only doesn't embarrass everyone at work, but protects everyone. Although everyone is serious at work, they have a good relationship in private. But there is a "mole" in the department. Later, you will find out for yourself. I won't mislead you. The company is "deep in water". Xiaomo has experienced wind and waves, and naturally knows the meaning of Xiaomi and promises vaguely.

On this morning's morning meeting, Minister Xiao Xiong began to hand over tasks to Xiaomo, handing over several major customers to Xiaomo. Here again, it is necessary to explain that giving key customers to new people is not because of ability or trust, but just a part of a set of procedures. Just like a machine, the machine itself is running smoothly, only one screw is missing. As long as it is in the right number, there is no difference between using this one and that one. In other words, the work arranged for Xiao Mo can be done by newcomers with a little training. Why is it a major customer? Because there are only a few big companies as major customers, and it is also an average distribution for each person to divide a few.

Xiaomi is Xiaomo's master. He meticulously explained the details of his work to Xiaomo. Xiaomi carefully drew a flow chart for Xiaomo to follow. Xiaomo understood it at a glance, and with his own experience, it was easy to get started. Soon the position of the screw was stabilized and integrated into the operation system of the whole company.

It's really simple to work after being proficient in the process. In addition, section chief Xiao Xiong, the boss, is famous for justifying a fault, so Xiaomo works smoothly.

Xiao Mo is grateful to Xiaomi and wants to know more about the company. On the day when she became a regular employee, she invited Xiaomi to dinner. Xiaomi readily agreed.

They went to the Japanese food store near the company and found a quiet tatami box and sat cross-legged. Xiaomi after work seems to be a different person, lively like a child, munching on food. Small foam is very envious of her ability to forget her work as soon as she gets off work and her mind is empty.

Xiaomi said; "We are a screw in this company, and we have never been taken seriously, but we are indispensable. Because people who meet the requirements are hard to find, and those with strong ability are not willing to be in our position. Therefore, the leaders do not ask us for any contribution, as long as we do our duty as a screw and don't fall off the chain. So give us a little kindness from time to time and let us work hard.

Xiao Mo is a little disappointed: "Then we can't make a start?"

"out? Don't think so. The company's hierarchy has been decided. If you want to be promoted, you will have a chance to follow suit. For example, our Xiao Xiong section chief is promoted to minister, and only one person in our department has the opportunity to be promoted to section chief, while Xiao Xiong section chief's promotion depends on whether the minister is promoted or not, and the minister's promotion depends on the president. If the president wants to change people, it is likely that the Japanese headquarters will reassign the candidate instead of choosing from the minister, so the class is a foregone conclusion, unless we want to get ahead. . 。”

"unless what?"

"unless section chief Xiao Xiong gives up himself, hahahahahaha. . 。” Xiaomi smiled impudently: "Our section chief is that person. . . What a good man! "

Xiao Mo is a little lonely in her heart. She didn't notice Xiaomi's adoration when she mentioned Xiao Xiong. She just wanted to fly to the headquarters across the sea one day! So it's over.

Xiaomi encouraged her to say, "Although there is no chance to get ahead, there is still room for promotion. At present, the positions of our group leader and department head are still vacant, and the salary for each promotion is doubled! "

" What was the last time you said there was a mole in our department? "Small foam is very sensitive to interpersonal matters. In the last job, people suffered a big loss because of the wrong letter, and finally they became high and low.

"Take your time, One truth prevails.!" Xiaomi's funny expression in Conan's posture is somewhat exaggerated.

After sweeping away a table of delicious food, they drank some beer, feeling refreshed physically and mentally, and each of them dripped home.

Xiao Mo went home to take a shower and fell asleep. At this time, Xiao Jun, her roommate, was still at work, and Xiao Mo left her a lamp and a bucket of instant noodles. Relying on parents at home and relying on friends outside is the pair of iron girlfriends. In a small rental house, they warm each other and encourage each other.

traitor? Who are you talking about? Aren't you?

When working in a Japanese company, I often get close to my superiors in Japan, so I will inevitably be caught as an interpreter and deliver orders. Especially when patrolling the production line, people often point fingers behind their backs and are called traitors. Xiao Xia, who works in the same department as Xiao Mo, is born with a traitor's face. He also likes to comb a long face with a middle part. Oh, it's simply! But all that glitters is not gold. Xiao Xia is excellent. Others like to call him Xia Translator and make fun of him as a traitor to his face. Every time at this time, he puts on his long horse face and turns his eyes: "Working in a Japanese company and getting Japanese artificial wages, aren't you a traitor?"

yes, we are often accused of being traitors, but in fact we are really flattering. Nowadays, there are really many people in China who have foreign backgrounds. China's economy depends on foreign technology and investment. It's really not our turn to be traitors. We are just shrimp. What's even more ridiculous is that some people in the company laugh at others as traitors even though they are working for the Japanese themselves. In fact, they prefer to be "traitors" to help their superiors and look forward to some benefits from their superiors. It's a pity that the language doesn't pass, and a word with a superior must be translated by others. The translators are also very cunning, and will not help them translate the key issues, but will respond to their superiors as their own opinions afterwards. But Xiao Xia won't do such a deceitful thing, so everyone respects him while making fun of him.

Xiao Xia looks a little strange, but he is very talented and a good communicator, and everyone the company has contacted with him is impressed. Xiao Xiong, the boss, attaches great importance to him. He is the official translator of Xiao Xiong Hezheng and takes him with him when attending important meetings.

There are quite a lot of work meetings in Japanese enterprises. In the morning, there are morning meetings within the departments, and in the afternoon, there are meetings of all departments in the company, and there is a company-wide meeting every Monday and Friday, and there are countless meetings initiated by various departments. But fortunately, the contents of the meeting were all around specific events, so there was no nonsense and no applause here. Japanese people are required to attend an interpreter when they are present. The speaker speaks Chinese, and the interpreter must translate it into Japanese word for word. When the speaker speaks Japanese, the translator must also translate it into Chinese word for word, so the meeting is going on in Chinese and Japanese. If there are people from other countries present, it is a Chinese, a Japanese and a foreign language.

Xiao Xia can always use the appropriate small
