    "Louis, what do you think if we hold a steel culture festival?"

    Wang Lei smiled and shook hands with this white man in his fifties with a striking big nose, then asked him to sit down, then gestured with his hands and said.  .

    Luis Pedro, Director of the Braddock Employment and Economic Development Bureau, has experience working in private companies, including U.S. Steel and PPG Industries, and has served as a business manager on his resume.

    ¡°But in Braddock, Lewis was only responsible for unemployment benefits and economic statistics, and made almost no contribution to economic development. At least in Wang Lei¡¯s view, his work was unqualified.

    In front of Wang Lei¡¯s energy and vigor, Luis Pedro seemed a little sluggish. He also felt very uncomfortable. After sitting down, he quickly changed his sitting position again, and his face even looked a little nervous.

    "Uh, Iron Culture Festival? That's a good idea, it allows us to remember Braddock's past glory." Luis Pedro was obviously stunned, and then said hastily.

    Wang Lei shook his head with some disappointment. The director of the Employment and Economic Development Bureau seemed to be insensitive to the economy: "No, no, no, we don't need to remember the past, we want to develop the future."

    "I hope that this steel culture festival can attract tourists from the United States and even other countries. You know, there are many people who visit Pittsburgh every year. We have to find a way to attract them to Braddock. They will bring business and  Opportunities for employment." Wang Lei stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air, saying passionately.

    "Oh, that's really a great idea. I think we can give it a try." Louis nodded in agreement, but Wang Lei couldn't hear anything useful from his words, what he really thought about tourism and cultural festivals  , the advantages and disadvantages of the small town, the methods and ideas of operation, etc., are all missing.

    "Okay, thank you, Louis. If you are interested in this issue, you can try to think about it. I hope we can build a better Braddock together." Wang Lei was a little discouraged and tried to talk a few more  None of the topics gained anything, so he had to stand up again and shook hands with Luis Pedro, not wanting to waste any more time.

    Of course, he is also willing to give the other party another chance, if he can think carefully and come up with some good ideas after he goes back.

    "Winola, call Barbara for me, she can come here." Wang Lei sent Luis Pedro to the door, and after he left, he said to Winola, the clerk in the Administration Bureau.

    As the mayor of the town, Wang Lei does not have a separate office. Instead, he is in a large office with the Administration Bureau and the Budget and Implementation Bureau. Like Alinda and Paul Harris, director of the Budget and Implementation Bureau, he has a separate cubicle.  , his cubicle is slightly larger, and the mayor¡¯s assistant also works here.

    After the employees returned to their posts one after another, Wang Lei did not come forward to appease them. He asked the mayor's assistant Donna to do the work. He had to maintain the authority he had finally established.

    What happened yesterday and today made him fully understand that just extending an olive branch is not enough, he must have a big stick in his hand to scare away the greed and laziness in everyone's heart.

    He doesn¡¯t feel like he has to do everything himself. He doesn¡¯t have enough time, energy, or even ability, and there¡¯s no need for that.

    Wang Lei often reads the biographies of politicians, entrepreneurs, and management gurus and their political and management ideas. His favorite entrepreneur is Jack Welch, the current CEO of General Electric, and his management ideas - do  A leader, not a manager.

    When Jack Welch first took charge of General Electric, GE's annual sales were only US$25 billion, with profits of US$1.5 billion. Its market value ranked only tenth among listed companies in the United States. By 1999, GE was expected to achieve a revenue of US$110 billion.  Sales revenue in U.S. dollars ranks fifth in the world, and profits of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars rank first in the world. Among all listed companies, ge¡¯s market capitalization ranks second in the world, close to 400 billion, second only to the current booming market capitalization rocket.  Microsoft is generally soaring.

    The first thing Jack Welch did when he took charge of GE was to reform the internal management system and reduce management levels and redundant staff.  He reduced GE's original 8 management levels to 4 or even 3. In just a few years, he cut off a quarter of the company, cut more than 100,000 jobs, and cut 350 business units.  Merged into 13 major business units and sold assets worth nearly $10 billion.

    When Wang Lei took office, he decided to target redundant staff and carry out organizational reforms. This was also influenced by Jack Welch, because redundant staff is the biggest threat to an organization.

    Similarly, he is also practicing Jack Welch's creed of "being a leader" and leaving specific matters to the mayor's assistant Donna and department heads. As a leader, all he has to do is recruit outstanding people.  Talents, incentives,??Use their abilities.

    As Jack Welch said: The leader¡¯s job is to attract the best talents from all over the world every day.  They must love their employees, embrace their employees, and motivate their employees.

    The most important thing he has to do now is to find a financial assistant. This person must be able to understand Wang Lei's ideas, help him formulate Braddock's development plan, and implement this plan.

    "Donna has strong coordination and organizational skills, but she lacks experience in business management and her thinking is not broad enough. Luis Pedro is obviously not suitable. Wang Lei must find someone else.

    Barbara Melo is the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Community Development and one of the few government employees with experience in the private sector as a manager.

    "Barbara, what do you think about building a large exhibition hall in Braddock?" Wang Lei said with a smile after Barbara sat down.

    Barbara is thirty-four years old this year. She wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses that cover almost half of her face. Her ocher hair is mixed with some white hair. I don¡¯t know if it was dyed, which makes her look very old.

    She is relatively short, but not fat, but she wears very baggy clothes. Her appearance can easily give people a lazy look, but the eyes behind her lenses are frighteningly sharp.

    "Exhibition hall? Are you going to display Braddock's history, or your honors in school?" Barbara's voice was as sharp as her eyes, and her words were even more pointed.

    Wang Lei didn¡¯t feel rushed. He knew this was this woman¡¯s style. He laughed twice as if he had heard a funny joke: ¡°Aha, art, what do you think?¡±

    "There are many museums in Pittsburgh, but the Braddocks don't understand art. They are all just eating." Barbara said disdainfully.

    Wang Lei knew that this slovenly-looking woman seemed to have understood what he meant. He explained seriously: "The museums are all old things. I'm talking about contemporary art, those avant-garde and post-modern artists."  , their artworks have transcended people¡¯s normal life and are incompatible with the natural atmosphere. Braddock¡¯s steel furnace, rust, gray and dilapidation best suit their temperament.¡±

    "Yes, there is also poverty and despair." A different kind of light flashed in Barbara's eyes, and she stared at Wang Lei without blinking.

    Wang Lei looked at Barbara without showing any signs of weakness. This woman was like a proud Nicholas turkey. I hope her abilities are as outstanding as her personality: "Yes, but we still have to let everyone see hope."  , those people¡¯s artists are also what we need.¡±

    Barbara stared at Wang Lei for a while, and finally nodded: "You are very good, comparable to the most powerful duck in the nightclub. As Braddock's number one, you can also bring fame, and Braddock can also  There is no shortage of nightclubs, and those abandoned churches are the most suitable, but we have to have money to dress them up and go out to pick up customers."

    "Excellent!" Wang Lei smiled and gave Barbara a thumbs up, it was her.  This woman's metaphor is very vulgar, but it hits the key points of the plan just right.

    She seems to have a bad temper, but in just a few words, she can understand Wang Lei's plans and ideas, and there should be no problem with her ability.
