What's the experience of working in Shanghai?

I live in Shanghai now, which is a fast-paced, efficient and convenient city. Here, as long as you have money, you can buy all the services you want. Shanghai company implements the concept of "people-oriented". As long as you have the strength, your salary will also rise rapidly. In short, this is a city that speaks with strength.

At first, I worked in an advertising company. This is a standard job with less money and more responsibilities. As a design, I don't have to take orders, but I have to connect with customers. There are really all kinds of customers. But no matter what he is, my duty is to serve him well. In the boss's words, we not only do design, but also sell services, so that customers feel that they can do more with less money. If they think what customers can't think of, they just try their best to meet their requirements, and customers are king.

Once, a Japanese company asked us to print an album, because it was designed by our company before, but it was only a few years ago. At that time, the designer left, and the company lost the original design of this album in the continuous brain drain. So I asked them for a sample and did it again. In fact, this is not particularly difficult, just forgetting that the other party is a Japanese company, and the requirements are outrageous. Because it is an English version, except for the font, even the gap between letters should be the same. It would be nice if you copied it completely. Just adding two pages, it can't be exactly the same as the original in theory.

My character is careless again. It was sent after simple typesetting. At that time, the docking personnel were probably interns. Picked twice wrong, not bad. I thought it was over and started to take over the design of the next album.

About half a month later, her leader came to me and accused me of having problems with the album. I asked humbly, feeling that the gap between the letters was a little big, but I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at that time. So, the hard days began. She will pick out one or two mistakes for me every day, some of which are clearly recognized by herself, but the next day she will have different opinions. It's really the first time for me to receive such a difficult customer, and I finally realized how strict the requirements of Japanese-funded enterprises are and how serious Japanese people are. I seriously doubt that the leader I docked with stayed too long in his early years and has developed obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Struggled with her for half a month. Just when I was going crazy, she called the leader, who kept making amends to her and even promised him to give her the album urgently, free of postage. Because it is a big customer, in fact, there is not much money to print albums. If it's postage, we won't be profitable for this order.

I blame myself and regret it. I deeply doubt my ability to work. I can't figure out why a seemingly simple thing finally found such a problem. The leader said to me meaningfully: "Through this incident, I hope you can realize that work is not a simple matter, and you must be careful, careful and careful again." In fact, Japanese companies have a lot to learn from. Although they are strict with us, considerate service and customer first are not simple slogans for them. This is also where we should learn. We sell not only ideas, but also services. Only when customers think that you are here, you get more than you pay, and you are worth the money, will we win! "

In that company, I caught a glimpse of the whole leopard, and finally understood that Shanghai is a place with no human feelings, only recognizing ability and not recognizing people. Here, even in the middle of the night 12, you can order takeout if you are hungry, and even many shops are open 24 hours a day. This is a city that never sleeps. Here, it is a paradise for talented people and a purgatory for ordinary people.
