In a consulting company, a newcomer who is just starting out is called a "counselor" and can be promoted to "partner".

The promotion system here has very strict time limits.

When I first joined the job, I was a consultant.

After the first year, you should be promoted to a senior consultant.

After the third year, you should be promoted to project manager.

After the fifth year, you should be promoted to associate partner or internship partner.

After the seventh year, you should be promoted to a partner.

There are two key points among them, that is, promotion to a project manager and partner, which are two thresholds.

What if, in the third year, the company evaluates that your level is not enough to be a project manager, that is, you cannot take on the main role in a project alone?

All consulting companies will politely advise you to leave, that is, fire you.

The above years are the standard years and the longest period given to you by the company! You can occasionally give me a grace, but it only takes a few months.

When time comes, you may be promoted or left, and there is no chance to stay where you are.

That is the so-called "Up  or  Out".

Although the above standard years cannot be longer, they can be shorter. From time to time, there will be elites who will be promoted quickly and become partners in four or five years, but those are real "child prodigy" or "geniuses".

The project Nie Xiaoying's project team is a Detroit auto manufacturer, planning to fully enter electric vehicles from traditional fuel vehicles.

Of course, this kind of transformation of large manufacturers will be extremely cautious and make all kinds of preliminary preparations and market research.

McKinsey is one of the consulting companies they commissioned to conduct research and evaluation of the sales prospects of pure electric vehicles in the global automotive market.

Project manager Mick is responsible for the project with three subordinates.

Starting from the third day after Nie Xiaoying joined the company, they spent six weeks doing the following work.

500 resumes of experts or senior media people in automobile-related industries were selected, 150 expert interviews were conducted, and the interview content and interviewer suggestions were recorded in detail.

The scale and prospects of the electric vehicle market in more than 50 countries around the world are estimated.

We have detailed reviews on the policy support and support for electric vehicles in more than 50 major countries and regions around the world.

I conducted 30 preliminary business case analysis, if a customer enters this industry, how much turnover and profit will be, how long will it take, and so on.

He planned and hosted three full-day brainstorms, and joined more than 20 regional sales managers of the car manufacturer.

Two reports were made to the CEO of the car manufacturer, mid-term and final, and two comprehensive reports were submitted.

...

You can imagine how much work each person has to work every day after only four people, after spending a month and a half, doing so much work!

However, projects of this level can only be considered average in the consulting industry.

During these six weeks, Nie Xiaoying's working hours reached 16 hours a day. Here we are talking about pure working hours, not counting the time of meals and rest and time on the road.

The amount of time spent on sleeping every day is only four or five hours at most.

Therefore, Nie Xiaoying also learned from her colleagues that while making a taxi to the airport, waiting for the plane, including on the plane, she always held a notebook in her hand, sent and received emails, did PPTs, and edited Excel.

In this case, if you want to touch the fish at work, it doesn’t exist at all!

When you connect to the bathroom and squat on the toilet, you have to check your emails with your mobile phone. And in this industry, the number of emails you receive every day is consistent with your position.

An intern like Nie Xiaoying is the most leisurely one, and only receives forty or fifty emails every day. For ordinary consultants buy air tickets to Pengcheng on July 10 every day.

Then he packed up his things and went to the airport. On the way to the airport, he sent an email to Supervisor Mick. This was her resignation letter, which stated that something happened at home and he needed to rush back immediately.

...

Of course, Wang Ye knew about such a big incident in the Nie family. After learning the news, he rushed to Pengcheng First People's Hospital, which was where Nie Dingwen went to medical treatment.

Outside the intensive care unit, Nie Xiaoying's mother was sitting on the bench with a sad face. There were a bunch of people standing next to her, including executives of Starlight Real Estate and relatives and friends of the Nie family.

Seeing Wang Ye coming, the person who knew him quickly greeted him.

Wang Ye raised his palm and signaled everyone to calm down. This place was outside the ward and there was no noise.

"Auntie, how is Uncle Nie's situation?" Wang Ye asked with concern.

Nie Xiaoying's mother seemed to have found the backbone and held Wang Ye's hand and tears in her eyes: "Aye, what should I do? The doctor said that Old Nie is unconscious now and can't even speak."

"Auntie, don't worry. Now, medical science is Changming, Uncle Nie will not have anything to do."

Although he didn't know the specific situation, Wang Ye could only comfort her and relax her first.

At this time, Wang Ye didn't do much.

Nie Dingwen has a wide connection. After the accident, even Secretary Pang came on behalf of Zhao Hongsheng. He notified the hospital to organize an expert consultation immediately and try every means to rescue the person.

As for Nie Dingwen's company, Wang Ye was not inconvenient to intervene. He could only wait for Nie Xiaoying to exercise the power of the chairman on behalf of her father when she came back, and Wang Ye would be there to help.

Although everything is still calm now, the executives of Starlight Real Estate seem loyal and promised that the company will never be in chaos during this period and will help Mr. Nie to be optimistic about the company.

But Wang Ye knew that if Nie Dingwen recovered quickly, at least he would be sober and could speak normally. If he had been lying like this, he would not know what would happen to the company.

After Nie Xiaoying comes back, it is really hard to say whether she can control such a large real estate company.

...

After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Nie Xiaoying arrived at Pengcheng Airport and didn't even bother to go home. She directly pulled her suitcase to the hospital.

In the ward, when Nie Xiaoying saw her father lying quietly on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, she forced herself to hold back her tears and did not fall. She knew that in the past, her father was holding up this home, but now that her father is sick, she wants to hold up this home.

I met with the hospital to learn about my father's treatment plan. The hospital promised to organize an expert consultation within a few days. Nie Xiaoying had no better way, so I could only wait until the consultation results came out before considering what to do next.

Now, in addition to her father's treatment, she also has to face the problem of taking over the family's industry.

Xingguang Real Estate is not listed, and of course the company's top management is the board of directors, and Nie Dingwen is the major shareholder and chairman.

In the past, he decided on the company's affairs.

Now that Nie Dingwen is ill, who has the final say in the company and who is in charge of the company, this has become a big problem!

Although such a large company has complete rules and regulations, and it is okay for the chairman to not show up for a day or two, the helmsman must not be careless for a long time.
Chapter completed!
