This is a long overdue article. It has been nearly two and a half years since I arrived in Nigeria on June 1st in 2017. After my vacation, I started my journey again on the same date June 1st , which is full of childlike interest. It is not only a coincidence, but also the small blessings of life.
Actually right after notified to work in Nigeria Yongxing, I just want to write something to record the African experience. But always postponing because of all sorts of errands. Now on this journey home, I finally start to record. Regardless the humanities customs, I just want to express my gratitude, grateful to meet, grateful for you.
Thank you for the opportunity provided by Nigeria Yongxing. Thank you for having you!
Compared with other companies, Nigeria Yongxing Company actually provides jobs, provides food and accommodation, provides various entertainment facilities to its employees as much as it can, and pays salaries at regular intervals every month, so that I do not become a moonlite.
After graduation, I participated in the interview of Nigeria Yongxing Company by chance. After several rounds of tests, I finally received the offer. After that, I was busy with all kinds of things going abroad alone. Thanks to the developed network, I was able to search for all the information I didn't know. I went to Henan and Beijing on my own. What's more, I set foot on the vast land of Africa alone when I still had little knowledge of Africa, especially Nigeria.
Ask me if I'm afraid, I can only say that I was insensitive and hindsight, everything is fine. I am lucky that all person I met was kind ones.
After taking the company's pickup vehicle, I saw the novel scenery along the way: lush tropical plants, all kinds of "dangerous houses" made of iron sheets, clusters of various tropical fruits; the "road salesmen" different from us: they are dark-skinned and sell items that break their necks on their heads as they weave between moving cars. All this made me feel that I had really come to Africa alone. I was no longer in the country I knew, but in a new country.
Thanks for the coordination and help of my colleagues at work. Thank you!
In the more than two years of working in the company, except for some people with strange temper and difficult to communicate, I could finish all kinds of work almost smoothly every time.
At the beginning of my work, I was nervous. I was always insensitive to the numbers and afraid to make mistakes in the transfer.Fortunately, it didn't happen. I really appreciate the work transfer and the responsible & careful partner, she not only helped me to avoid mistakes, but also helped me to sort the working process especially when I was busy. She helped me a lot in both work and life.
When I did the sales work, sometimes I had high pressure, sometimes mentally and physically exhausted: I did not know how to start the whole sales process, how to negotiate with customers...... But thanks to the cooperation from electrode factory and warehouse colleagues, I can quickly arrange the order, delivery, etc. I really appreciate company to give me the opportunity to participate in sales, so that I can negotiate with all kinds of customers smoothly.
Thanks to colleagues in the scrap iron factory for their help and care for the work of the scale house, so that the work of both sides has been completed in communication. If we have different opinions, we will calm down and listen to my ideas, so that my work can be completed smoothly.
Thanks for the care of colleagues in other departments. If there is a need in work, we can contact the parties by phone to solve the problem as soon as possible. It is very efficient and saves time and energy.
I am grateful to my customers. Although they are difficult to deal with, they enhance my communication ability, which makes me enjoy the fun of fighting wits and courage with them and satisfy the sense of achievement.
Thank you for care of Yongxing Steel family in my life. Thank you for having you!
Thank you for the medical care provided by the company, the professional treatment from the doctor, the meals prepared by the personnel kitchen, and the greetings from colleagues... It relieves the loneliness of "being a stranger in a foreign land" when I am sick and weak, and I gain a lot of emotion.
Thank you for the entertainment opportunities provided by the company. After work, I can relax myself no matter I sweat on the court or play a randy song in KTV. After that, I can have a good sleep to dispel fatigue and welcome tomorrow.
Thanks to the friends in life, always inadvertently take care of me, as my listener, or my psychological doctor, with experience to enlighten, guide me to avoid mistakes.I really appreciate it.
Thanks to the small kitchen of the company, I am able to make some dish by myself, and then invite some friends to have dinner together, talk freely, relieve the pressure in work and life, enhance the friendship, and learn the experience of life.
Thanks to Yongxing Steel, Thanks to have you, we meet in Africa, know each other, love each other.
Finally, let us remain true to our original aspiration, be grateful, work hard and and forge ahead!
