Will you consider running for US
With Obama's skin color, a cap worn backwards and with a gaze coming from behind the round glasses of Pu Yi, white jacket, blue jeans, 2 meters tall, working in Boeing for 37.5 years, he hails from Seattle. His name is Ross....... Everyone has a story.
Will you consider running for US president? (Translated by Erik)
Obama's skin color is a story of bloodline so maybe I will write from there?
He said, "I have a dearest father, but not my father!"
I must be like a slap in the face because his eyes came from behind the glasses. "Oh, my biological father has been 'dead' since I was six months old. I have not been taught to support my family, and my dearest father is my stepfather."
"Oh, so since it is the dearest father, then you must have your reasons?" I slowed down.
"That is natural. Once my grandfather gave pocket money to my brother and sister but didn't give it to me. Dad got angry and said harshly to grandpa, 'If your pocket money is not fair, give it to Ross. Please take it back, Ross is my child!'"
"My dearest dad has always been a supporter of my supporters. Whether it was my hobby or something else, and only once he strongly opposed it! I suddenly fell in love when I was in high school. I wanted to drop out. He said, no, absolutely not!"
"Mom is white, she was a kindergarten teacher. She was qualified to teach at the university, but she liked the innocence of children. She was strict with my father and sister since childhood, especially for English. The pronunciation habits and expressions are very strict. I once went to see a customer after work. The customer said with surprise 'I thought you were white when I heard you on the phone.'"
"Mom is the warmest planet in the universe. She is not rude, only giving instructions, but always patiently explaining. At the same time, my mother will not give me a look because I am doing something wrong, but will directly say where it is wrong. Why and what is the better way. Including about the house I wanted to buy in Seattle after leaving Xiamen. My mother suggested that I come back to live for a while first. Well，after a year and a half, I decided to go back to China. Life makes one reluctant to be here for a long time or it is very attractive here. If you move back and regret it, the cost is too high! It turns out that the mother is right, I am still in China! This has a profound impact on me. I am happy to express it now also from Mum.
"Before my military service, a friend of my mother working in human resources got me 3 companies to choose from for an internship, i.e. Ford, GM, and Boeing. I did not like cars. I liked airplanes. As an intern. I started my career at Boeing!"
“From the lowest level to the executive level, my career of 37.5 years is full of meaning. If life is coming again, I will choose to spend my best time like this!”
Count the various rungs of the ladder he climbed:
1 Intern (internship)
2 sheet metal worker
3 electrician
4 flight line mechanic
5 line lead man
6 first-level supervisor
7 second level supervisor
8 super intendent
9 project and program manager
He said that the position of the first-level supervisor was relatively long. For more than three years, "deeply dig deep into the grain," which built a solid foundation for future work, just like his dearest Dad and Mum. Education and love hold up his life!
He was sent to China to complete the Boeing 747 freighter conversion joint venture project, which is his most successful career. He negotiated and cooperated with experts from different geographical backgrounds, and created a brilliant cooperation between people of different faiths and different skill levels.
Completing the "birth" of a plane ！
His job is to convert an empty plane according to the customer's contract requirements into a cargo plane, complete with seat installation, service facilities, ventilation, etc. a bit like the work of decorating a home, but not as In real life, only with the basic decoration.
Sounds like Ross is working as an engineer while managing an engineer. Engineers must not be good at talking? Oh, wrong, Ross’ talking skill is extraordinary. One of them, a Vietnamese named Chogi, is their Singaporean customer. He is a harsh and very disliked person but he befriended Ross. How did his happen?
“Give the most professional answer to professional questions!” he concluded. “For example, the other party asked ‘How many extreme load structures does your aircraft follow?’, I answered it in seconds!”
"When professional questions are asked, answering those questions is also to verify my professionalism when talking about load weight, flight endurance, life cycles, consumables, safety, delivery cycle, etc."
I cannot help but feel: smart people will be attracted by smart people, i.e. birds of a feather flock together. Confucius said, "The Tao is different and not a fight!"
Due to his familiarity with various businesses, he proposed the "Do more with less" plan. The result was the original 23 people in the Xiamen location got reduced to four, i.e. 1 quality control , 2 engineers, 1 component division.
I listened to him saying that I was shocked. “This is a bold and challenging plan. If you do not do it, you will be not ruined.”
He said he cannot tolerate people’s troubles ! The reason why he was able to do it with confidence was because he successfully completed the challenge when He took over the another project.
At that time, he was mangering 200 people in US. To help a project in track, he was asked to fly to China .
At the beginning, there was a project for the delivery of a Japan Airlines plane that had been lagging behind the construction period of 30 days. The high amount of 500 million compensation was in sight. He was ordered to die and he was ordered to complete the work on time! The on-time completion date is on December 15th, and he delivered the project ahead of schedule on December 12th!
when he completed the Japan airline project, he was ready to fly back to US, however he was asked to stay in China because of the outstanding performance. He was expected to do more, to lead the team in China.
There is a plan, there is always challenge! Knowledge, brave, professional are the soul !
It is only through observation that he can get rid of people who are redundant! He spent seven days, and told each key position the expectations and set the deadline. He remembered that the engineer responsible for the parts refused his time arrangement so he said to him sternly, "Please know who your superior is, It’s me! If you don’t want to perform, please leave!”
The engineer related the matter to his boss, and his boss told the engineer that such a thing was handled by Ross only!
What I heard is that behind all of this are his strict requirements for his own high past creditworthiness!
For many foreign workers who spend a very high amount of $3,000 per day in China, these 23 to 4 people have created incredible benefits for his business! Of course, this is a gradual process. First are six months of evaluation and trial execution, provided training to imprive individual’s skill not only in one area but also in diffrent area, and then resolute execution with only one purpose, i.e. high efficiency and high output!
Finally, this plan is very exciting! Four people complete the workload of 23 people!
Will you consider running for US president? (Translated by Erik)
“From the most basic to the executive level, the career of 37.5 years is full of meaning. If life could be lived again, I will choose to spend my best time like this!” He summed up the time of his career in one sentence, smiling like midsummer. !
I said, "Will you consider running for the next US presidency?"
The gaze of the eyes came from the glasses of Pu Yi and went up to the town: "My princess, this is a good plan!" Ross' Summer smile makes this Winter continue to heat up 28 degrees!
