Industry, and beyond, Kirby has cooperated to carry out a wide range of projects from large corporate clients, from multinational corporations to domestic enterprises. build more than 2,000 projects in the region “. Mr. Anup Kumar Dave has repeatedly come to Vietnam for business or travel, but starting in 2009, he really thought about coming here to live and work. At that time, he was in charge of the insulation business. “When I received an offer to work for a business in the building materials industry in Ho Chi Minh City, I immediately said yes because I liked this place. I officially came to Vietnam to work next year. 2011 “. THE SALARY SALARY WITH VIETNAM For a foreigner who first comes to work in Vietnam, encountering unexpected difficulties, or even cultural “shocks”, is unavoidable. However, Mr. Anup adapted very quickly: “There were some small difficulties but it was due to cultural differences and I was able to adapt quite quickly because I had experienced some jobs before. in a multicultural environment “. Ten years working in Vietnam gave Mr. Anup Kumar Dave a new perspective on work and life balance as well as how to improve productivity to achieve efficiency. “We have created an excellent staffing system and have been able to develop a number of markets to improve our business. However, I think that Vietnam still needs good labor law regulations. so that both employers and employees are equal and fair. This will further improve the business environment in Vietnam “, Mr. Anup emphasized. Mr. Anup Kumar Dave – General Director of Kirby Southeast Asia Company In Vietnam, Kirby Southeast Asia has been operating since 2008 with the factory located in Nhon Trach 3 Industrial Zone, Dong Nai province. The company has offices in the city. Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hanoi and Southeast Asian countries to facilitate serving the needs of customers quickly and best not only in Vietnam but also for countries in and outside the region such as Thailand. , Burma, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Brunei and Australia. KIRBY WAY AND HUMAN USE VIEWS In many past conversations, Mr. Anup always emphasized that one of the keys to Kirby’s success in the development process is adhering to the company’s core values ​​and principles – ” Kirby Way ”. The Kirby Way is the driving force behind the company to focus on innovation, train people and empower people to increase engagement, connection and better decision-making for the job. From a human resource perspective, Kirby views employees as a core asset. Mr. Anup believes that organizations and businesses can only succeed if people are given the opportunity to contribute effectively and they work with full energy and enthusiasm. Kirby can only succeed, whether in Vietnam or anywhere, if it has a team of professional staff. When the team is professional, everyone will agree. In order for employees to agree, the company must have clear and commensurate regulations on rights and responsibilities. “I hope that, regardless of position in the company, each employee will get the income they deserve for their efforts,” Mr. Anup said frankly. “Besides, everyone is able to do the right thing to their ability. Make sure that employees are always working in a fair environment,” said Anup. “In the last three years, Kirby Southeast Asia has added more than 50 people every year, when we hire, we look at the attitudes and background knowledge about the job that person applies for. Good attitude, a lack of knowledge can be completely supplemented through the training process.Good attitude is a willingness to learn, take responsibility, take initiative and commit to a collective goal. “, Mr. Anup shared. The Kirby Way is the driving force behind the company to focus on innovation, train people and empower people to strengthen connectivity. From a business perspective, Kirby Way is customer-centric. “We had to change our mindset, go further to help our customers with all the support we could possibly have and even exceed their expectations,” recalled Anup thoughtfully. “There have been a few times when we have been challenged to deal with the increasing needs of our customers and we have succeeded in ensuring that the customer remains a top priority. Because there are customers. Only us, “Mr. Anup said. GENERAL DIRECTOR WITH HEAVY INDUSTRIES Before coming to Vietnam, Mr. Anup worked in India, Africa (Kenya), Europe (Italy) … His experience throughout his career was in the metal industry, Mr. Anup used to be works in hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel and aluminum and steel fabrication industries. Vietnam is the place where he stops the longest and pre-engineered steel is also an area in which he focuses a lot. In his own opinion, he thinks that the steel industry in Vietnam has grown significantly and more than doubled its production capacity within more than 10 years. This remarkable development stems from the ability of local producers to produce world-class quality. “The markets in Southeast Asia are developing but growth in Vietnam has been quite quiet over the past few years. Demand is expected to stabilize in the coming years. Product quality is sure to grow. due to rapid adoption of new production technology by manufacturers in Vietnam. Kirby has two distinct advantages in Vietnam: fixed labor costs and availability of skilled workers, “said Anup. Kumar Dave said. In our business, single-digit margins and high claims “Heavy industry is labor-intensive, the competition is huge and sometimes does not follow ethical principles,” Mr. Anup said, emphasizing: “Our industry supplies materials for operations. Capital construction dynamics are very cost- and time-sensitive, so there is a huge pressure on returns and cash flows due to delayed payments. considered unattractive In our business, single-digit margins and high claims So, higher risks and lower profits. The manager must look for other more efficient opportunities that the employee cannot intuitively understand. ” However, what he sees as his personal strength when working in heavy industry is the associates he works with. “I’m always focused on driving them to learn more and manage their time efficiently. Therefore, we focus on training and empowering employees to be more proactive in their work and commit realism. Currently, Kirby’s overall goal is to become the best pre-engineered steel building supplier in Southeast Asia, ”said Anup his secret to success. Kirby is one of the leading manufacturers of pre-engineered steel (PEB) buildings in the world. As a subsidiary of Alghanim Industries Group, Kirby is one of the few largest privately owned corporations in the Gulf region, with over 40 years of experience in manufacturing and sales in more than 70 countries. world.

For a long time, teachers, student resources, and teaching and research capabilities have been called the troika of online education, and excellent talents are the core of doing business well. Previously, Dali Education said it would recruit more than 10,000 people. Chen Lin, CEO of Vigorous Education, clearly stated, “In the next three years, Bytedance will continue to invest heavily, regardless of profitability and cost.”

A recent change in the personnel responsible for the education business has attracted attention. According to “LatePost” reports, key projects including children’s enlightenment product Guagualong, primary and secondary school online school Qingbei online school, adult language product open language English, hardware business vigorous intelligence, etc., have had at least one business in the past year The line leader has been replaced, and 100 people have left for some projects.

△The changes in the personnel responsible for the education business

From doing education business to forming an overall education brand

Bytedance “vigorously” do education

Zhang Yiming always loves to say: Vigorously creates miracles. Byte has invested heavily in education. The three-pronged approach of incubation investment and acquisition has covered all popular tracks in the education field in less than two years: Enlightenment, K12, adult education, and even hardware research and development. Gua Gua Long, Tang Yuan English, Qingbei Online School…More than 20 education projects in hand, to create a matrix of online and offline products.

In May 2018, ByteDance made its first effort in the education industry, launching GOGOKID, the first children’s English product, which was benchmarked against VIPKID. In September of the same year, Bytedance acquired Ai Xue, the To B business of Xuebajun. In December, it bought the adult education product Kaiyan English.

In May 2019, ByteDance acquired Qingbei Online School, which focuses on the K12 track, and successfully entered the field of large classes. In November, it arranged the business of entering the school and acquired the big data of Jike.

In March 2020, Guagualong Enlightenment was launched, and the enlightenment business was deployed. In August, it acquired the math and science thinking education product You Pai Yi, and continued to increase quality education.

When Dali Education was established, Bytedance used internal incubation, acquisition, investment and other means to weave a nearly complete educational puzzle, covering English training, K12 subject counseling, knowledge payment, mathematical thinking, and educational information. In the industry chain, To B and To C go hand in hand.

In terms of operation, Byte has burned money very boldly. GoGoKid burned 1 billion, and Guagualong English invested 2 billion in diversion in a year. Qingbei Online School recruited online teachers with an annual salary of 2 million, and there was no ceiling. It is also unambiguous to give resources to people. After suspending the mobile phone business, Zhang Yiming immediately merged the Xinshi laboratory of the hammer technology team into the education hardware team to expand its strength. In Byte’s own words: All in education.

Head of business changed blood

Is it a competitive crisis or a new turning point?

Zhang Yiming’s three most promising industries are AI, automotive, and online education. Today, AI has “Flying Books” and automobiles have “Knowing Car Emperor”, but there have been no successful cases in the education field. Instead, GoGoKid was exploded with a large number of layoffs, aiKid ceased operations, Qingbei Online School founder Liu Yong resigned, and there was a large-scale transfer of branch leaders.

Behind the personnel transfer in the past year, is the industry competition too fierce, or the project requirements are further increased?

Industry competition:

/ / For the online education industry, Bytedance is a bit late

From the perspective of time arrangement, in June 2014, Chen Xiangdong founded GSX; in 2012, Yuanjiao was established; in 2010, Good Future went public in the United States. The industry competition pattern has basically taken shape. Since then, every company that tries to take a share in online education has encountered difficulties. Taking 2020 as an example, 80% of the 103.4 billion yuan that capital has sent to the online education industry went to the top 5 companies, such as the above-mentioned ape tutoring, homework help, and GSX.

In June 2020, “the first unit of online education” New Oriental Online recruited more than 200 fresh graduates in Xi’an to enrich the online education business, but this move suffered a rout. It experienced two layoffs at the end of 2020 and in March this year. More than 200 fresh graduates were almost completely laid off.

/ / Education for laymen also has certain risks

At the end of March, an Internet respondent posted a post on Weibo: A netizen who was certified as a “Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. employee” complained on the social platform: “I am leaving soon. Although I am very reluctant, there is really no way. The company is a good company, but Tencent Education is not. I hope that future generations will take warning and don’t educate if you are killed!” A “Beijing Byte Beat Technology Co., Ltd. employee” commented: “You have not come to Byte Education. …I jumped out of Tencent Education. I thought that Tencent’s education pits now… I can only say that pits are not pits or not.” Another “Tencent Tech employee” replied: “I feel that every education is pitted, run away. ”

Although it is only an online topic discussion, it is not difficult to see that even with a huge number of engines, it is equally difficult to cross-bank business. Tang Daosheng, vice president of Tencent, said: “Education is a very complex and professional field, and all our internal forces add up, and it may not be able to subvert all needs.” Education is a slow industry, and the Internet will definitely not subvert the education industry. “But there is no doubt that with the development of technology, education will indeed undergo subtle changes.

Project self-cultivation:

Zhang Yiming has proposed more than once that he wants to run the third product with a DAU of more than 100 million dollars in the education field and turn education into a 100 billion U.S. dollar business, which is larger than Douyin’s scale. It can be seen that byte’s requirements for its education projects are extremely strict.

In ByteDance, the establishment of innovative business projects needs to be reviewed by Zhang Yiming and the project leader, and then analyzed and demonstrated by the business analysis team. All projects need to assess ROI (input-output ratio). If the key project fails to prove its value within a period of time, adjustments will occur.

Do education from “0”, vigorously educate and keep trying “wrong”. I have done many projects vigorously, recruited a lot of people, spent a lot of money, and every time a person in charge is changed, the business direction will be adjusted accordingly. For example, the thinking course under Guagualong has experienced three principals for more than a year. The current principal, Liu Juan, used teaching and research to design experience courses, replacing the predecessor Qianjinchen’s strategic direction of teaching and research guided by products. In addition, vigorously educate because the team expands quickly, and projects and tasks are dismantled layer by layer. Once a team’s project fails, it will be replaced, and it will never be tolerated.

This time, a bold and resolute effort in education, but so far has not yet formed a successful work. In an interview with the media, Chen Lin, the head of Dali Education, said that internal BP has been done for three years. From the perspective of BP in three years, it is not profitable, but he thinks it may be unprofitable for a longer time in the future. He said, “Education is not a track that can be rushed into.”

For educational products, more patience and persistence are required, and a trace of luck is required to find the right method in frequent trial and error correction.

Unprecedented

Ms. Wormuth began working for the U.S. Government in 1996 in the Pentagon Policy Office. During the Obama administration, she served as chief communications officer from the White House National Security Council to the Pentagon on defense matters.

President Biden nominates Christine Wormuth to the position of Secretary of the Army

A veteran national security official with experience working at the Pentagon, Ms. Wormuth also served as Director of Defense Policy at the National Security Council under former President Obama’s administration. Most recently, Ms. Wormuth was Director of the Center for Defense Policy and International Security at the Rand Corporation, a nonprofit that supports the U.S. and international Governments in defense, economic, and scientific policy research and analysis. She served as a special assistant to the president and Senior Director of Defense at the National Security Council (NSC) from December 2010 to August 2012, where she served as the chief communications officer from the NSC to the Pentagon on defense matters. She was also an influential member of Mr Biden’s transition team at the Pentagon as head of the Biden-Harris Defense Agency Review Team.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin commented: “Christine Wormuth is a true darling with a devoted career serving America and national security. I am sure that, if confirmed, she will lead the soldiers and represent their families as Army Minister in honor and integrity.”

If confirmed by the Senate as military secretary, Wormuth would be one of the more powerful officials in a longstanding male-dominated defense facility. She will work with the Army Chief of Staff, Gen. James McConville, who does not command soldiers but is responsible along with the Secretary of the Army for training and equipment.

The trend of choosing women for important positions

Mr. Biden’s nomination will continue Mr. Biden’s tendency to choose women and people of color for top Defense Department jobs. Austin was the first black Defense Secretary and Kathleen Hicks was the first woman to serve as deputy defense secretary.

Jen Easterly was nominated for the position of head of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber security and Infrastructure Agency (CISA).

Earlier, President Joe Biden had nominated two female generals as military commanders, positions that have so far been mostly male-only. It was Air Force General Jacqueline Van Ovost, the only female serviceman with a 4-star rank – the highest rank in the U.S. military – to be appointed head of the U.S. Army Transport Command (USTRANSCOM). Three-star General Laura Richardson was appointed commander of Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) in charge of Central America and Latin America. In her new role, her rank was raised to 4 stars.

Most recently, on April 12, the White House said That Jen Easterly – a former senior official in charge of counterterrorism work of the National Security Agency (NSA), was nominated to the position of head of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber security and Infrastructure Agency (CISA). Ms. Easterly served on the National Security Council as a senior director for counterterrorism and the president’s special assistant in former President Barack Obama’s administration. She is also the CEO of Morgan Stanley, in charge of the company’s cybersecurity a combined center.

According to Mr Walsh, Mr Biden’s personnel decisions have made a difference from his predecessor’s administration. The number of women in senior positions in his administration is expected to increase significantly compared to Mr. Trump’s administration, where these positions are often held by white men. Observers speculate Mr Biden could set new records for the number of women holding positions of power in Washington. According to the CAWP Director, this is expected to be a positive signal.

“Every time a woman takes on a senior leadership position, it conveys a message to girls, young girls and adult women across the country that they can do this too,” Ms Walsh said.
