Every day she drives her car to the office, and handles all the file work efficiently. Even among all the papers that are neatly stacked on the shelves, she can easily pick out any specific one in a second! Besides file work, Rudy is also responsible for inventory management, logistics, finances, and all forms of document handling. She works to maintain safe and secure operations at the company. Rudy rarely takes days off, and even works on weekends when machines are delivered from the port and unloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="syinsysvhy"    style=\"height:2px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy5-1024x613.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5947\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy5-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy5-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy5-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy5.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rudy first became responsible for the LiuGong brand in 2004. Before LGSA was established, she worked as the administrator of LiuGong\u2019s dealer in Mpumalanga, Nelspruit, which dealt with the import and export of LiuGong machines across the Sub Saharan region. This was the start of her long and steadfast journey with LiuGong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By gradually gaining more knowledge from her administrative work, particularly on the technical side, Rudy was promoted to Branch Manager of the dealer\u2019s new branch in Polokwane, Limpopo Province. She has worked there for five years and attended to the administration, parts departments, and sales of LiuGong earthmoving machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="syinsysvhy"    style=\"height:2px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy4-1024x613.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy4-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy4-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy4-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy4.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Facing Challenges and Chasing Adventure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI felt astonished and surprised when I got a phone call for the job interview at the age of 64.\u201d After eight years of operation in the international market, LiuGong had grown stronger and aimed to open a subsidiary in Johannesburg. When the previous General Manager was trying to find the right person to help start the company in 2010, Rudy came up and was highly recommended as the right person. Her familiarity with LiuGong and its products, along with her professionalism and dedication to work, enabled Rudy to successfully pass the interview and get the position as the Administration Manager of LGSA in August, 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="syinsysvhy"    style=\"height:2px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Johannesburg-Offie-LiuGong-South-Africa-1024x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Johannesburg-Offie-LiuGong-South-Africa-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Johannesburg-Offie-LiuGong-South-Africa-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Johannesburg-Offie-LiuGong-South-Africa-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Johannesburg-Offie-LiuGong-South-Africa.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">seg_soft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When LGSA was founded, there was a shortage of salespeople, so Rudy also assisted as a salesperson besides administration work. \u201cI love working in the subsidiary. Every day seems like a new day for me. I\u2019ve gained a range of knowledge,\u201d Rudy said proudly with her iconic smile. She also remarked that, \u201cPeople usually think that people at my age think slowly. But actually, we can\u2019t afford to make mistakes. Although I don\u2019t work for the technical department, it\u2019s also my responsibility to help solve problems when I get phone calls reporting machine issues or when people come to me asking for machine information. This is because at the end of the day, it\u2019s not about you and me, or other people, it\u2019s about LiuGong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="syinsysvhy"    style=\"height:2px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy2-1024x613.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy2-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy2-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy2-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy2.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div   id="syinsysvhy"    style=\"height:2px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy3-1024x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy3-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy3-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy3-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy3.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Perfectionistic and Versatile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rudy started from registering inventory and has visited a lot of people. \u201cThe yellow machines just got into my blood, and I\u2019ve learned a lot about these machines. It\u2019s really a big advantage for me.\u201d From Rudy\u2019s perspective, we should have a broad vision, be professional, and keep the conversation going with the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up the LGSA office to accommodate all the necessary functions and systems has enabled Rudy to perform her duties and combine the different cultures. When Rudy first worked for LGSA, she Googled a lot about China and Chinese festivals. Every time there is a Chinese festival, she expresses her good wishes to the Chinese colleagues. She even sends Red Envelopes to them during Chinese New Year. \u201cWhen I first worked at LGSA, I thought that it was just like taking two stones and trying to tie them together. But we respect and learn from each other. Eventually we began to feel like a big family, and I like the rich Chinese culture.\u201d Rudy remembers every one\u2019s birthday, which is deeply appreciated by everyone who works with her. \u201cShe is just like our grandma,\u201d said LGSA Service Engineer, Mr. Zeng Bo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="syinsysvhy"    style=\"height:2px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy8-1024x788.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy8-1024x788.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy8-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy8-768x591.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy8.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div   id="syinsysvhy"    style=\"height:2px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"744\" src=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy7-1024x744.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy7-1024x744.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy7-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy7-768x558.jpg 768w, https:\/\/haihengkj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/0328-Rudy7.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe years that I have been working for LiuGong have been exhilarating and it\u2019s been a huge learning curve, but one is never too old to learn and adapt.
