Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 168 New Company

Yaoyang said: "Don't think about it, didn't you agree to have a meal with me?"

Liu Sheng said: "Yes, let's do it together. My company plans to hand it over. After all, it's not our own business."

Lin Jiasheng objected: "Every industry is like a mountain, and you have been in the industry for three years. Now is the best time for you. It's a pity to change careers. If you don't go to my place, just Xiao Wu. I think it's okay. If not, there are many others. Choose, I heard that President Dong mentioned you during the meeting of the People's Group, I guess, maybe I will find you soon, this is also an opportunity."

Mr. Li nodded and said: "I also heard that the group is recruiting talents. This is a good opportunity, and you should seize it."

I didn't feel anything at all, so I said: "I just came down from Daoshan and went to the sea of ​​fire. I don't want to go. I still want to do something practical. It's good to have the opportunity to do catering. I can eat and drink by myself, but It depends on the opportunity, Brother Yaoyang, I have really paid attention to it recently, I think oysters on Hengqin Island are a good restaurant, when we go back, let’s go and have a look together, make a plan.”

Yaoyang became excited and said, "Okay, we'll go after the meeting."

I shook my head and said: "It's winter now, so I have to wait until spring. I'll inquire about it then. This matter can't be rushed, and the investment can't be small. I've thought about it. Or should I make my diet smaller and more refined?" , or make it bigger, don’t be too big or too small, it will definitely fall.”

Liu Sheng echoed: "Yes, it makes sense, don't worry about the funds, we'll do it when we think about it."

Lin Jiasheng hurriedly said: "Then count me in. I don't ask for anything else, just go to eat, and it doesn't cost money."

Mr. Li smiled and said: "How much can you eat? When do you go and eat? How dare he charge you? Old Feng won't punish him!"

Lin Jiasheng said: "That's different. If you eat without reason, if it's our own business, it will be different."

Mr. Li thought for a while and said: "That's my share. By the way, you should help me with my friend's matter. He is a very nice person. He is a real person. For my sake, at least go there. "

Shen Yang asked: "What's the matter?"

Mr. Li said the matter again, and Shen Yang said: "I think you should go. You are a good salesman now, but have you ever thought about what you lack? Management experience, although you have managed a company in Hunan , but most of them are orders from the head office, and you have never participated in real enterprise management, so I suggest that you can try it."

Shen Yang's words moved me, and I made a decision to go to that company to see what it was like.

Then he said to Mr. Li: "Then Mr. Li, you can talk to your friend tomorrow. I agree to go and have a look, but there are conditions. First, I want absolute management power. Second, if I make the enterprise If you turn losses into profits, give me 20 yuan. If not, I don’t want the money, but you can’t limit my time. Don’t let me stay there for a year and only give me 20 yuan. That’s not okay, and you can’t tell me about it come out."

Mr. Li said straightforwardly: "I promised you this matter for her. She asked me to go, but I know my own business. I am a general but not a handsome talent. My execution ability is good, but when it comes to pioneering ability, creativity Strength, I don't think I can compare to you."

After talking about the matter, everyone dispersed, and Lao Feng had already gone back first, so I could only admit that I was unlucky and paid the bill.

Early the next morning, Mr. Li came to me and asked if I wanted to go back to Zhuhai first. I asked strangely, "Aren't we going back together?"

Mr. Li said embarrassingly: "My company is in Yantai, Shandong, not in Zhuhai."

I quickly shook my head and said, "That won't work. I thought it was a company in Zhuhai. Why did it go to Yantai?"

Xiao Li always complained: "How can I do that? I promised you for you, you have to go, I order you, I will talk to Sheng Nan."

I felt like I was on a pirate ship, so I had no choice but to admit it.He said: "Let's book tickets for tomorrow, Mr. Li, let's make an agreement. If I can help you turn your losses into profits, you have to let me go. You can't keep me away forever."

President Da Li hurriedly nodded and said, "Sure, sure, don't worry."

Afterwards, he called Shengnan, who was a little unhappy and said: "You are going to Hunan first, then Yunnan, now you are in Hangzhou, and you are going to Yantai, Shandong. You are at home for a few days all year round. , Besides, Chinese New Year is coming soon, you are floating outside all day, isn't it a bit too much?"

I explained: "Hunan, Yunnan, didn't you also go together? I am also here to make money. Besides, it is rare for Mr. Li to beg me once. I have no choice. I will go back during the Chinese New Year, and then I will not leave. , do nothing, just stay at home with you."

I comforted Katsuo after coaxing him from left to right.

Early flights are actually quite annoying, because the urban area is quite far from the airport. In Xiaoshan, you have to get up early. Mr. Da Li planned to call a taxi, but it was too early, either the price was too high, or he refused to go.I had no choice but to call Yaoyang, I knew he must have a solution.In less than 10 minutes, a Buick business car stopped in front of us, took our luggage, and got into the car.Mr. Li said apologetically: "Mr. Chen, look at me, the arrangement is really inconsiderate." I hurriedly said: "Well, you are not familiar with this place, so don't be too polite, just call me Xiao Chen, I'm not a boss now."

Mr. Li also said bluntly: "Okay, I'm older than you, just call me Sister Li, and don't call me Mr. Li."

When we got on the plane and looked at the seat number, we realized that Mr. Li had booked the business class. It was the first time for me to fly in the business class. With vanity in his head, he raised his head arrogantly and looked at everyone who passed by.

The flight time from Hangzhou to Yantai is very short, only 1 hours. This is the first time that I feel that the flight time is too short.

After getting off the plane and walking out of the airport, Mr. Li saw that no one was coming to pick him up, so he called anxiously, and then said guiltily: "I'm really sorry, the phone number of the pick-up person can't be reached, why don't we take a taxi. "

When I saw an airport bus, I said, "Sister Li, why don't we take the airport bus, it's also convenient."

The last two people tossed for more than 2 hours before arriving at the place.This place is a building materials market, with residential buildings on both sides, and the shops on the first floor are all used to sell building materials.Mr. Li's store is in the center of this building materials street.

Mr. Li took me to the door of a store called "Yongye Electric Tools" and stopped. The store is actually not small, but there are sundries piled up on both sides, leaving only a very narrow aisle. Small, the signboard is spot-welded with angle iron. It is estimated that it has been exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, and it has not been painted with anti-corrosion paint, so it has rusted.

Mr. Li and I walked into the store, and a middle-aged woman dressed in oil stains yawned and greeted Mr. Li lazily: "Mr. Li is back."

Then he didn't pick up his luggage, and continued to sit there and yawn.Mr. Li explained while dragging his luggage: "This is our company's store, the upstairs is the office area, and the factory is in the suburbs. I will take you there when I have time."

I observed the products on sale, mostly electric drills, electric picks, hand tools, and some generators, electric welding machines, cutting machines, etc.They are all stacked together in a messy manner, and the products on the shelves are not categorized. After the customers have finished reading, they put them away, but no one puts them back to their original positions.

On the second floor, there is a living room with sofas on three sides and three offices. A fat man is sleeping on the sofa. He weighs more than 200 catties. She was sleeping on her stomach and snoring.

I looked at Mr. Li questioningly, and Mr. Li yelled loudly at the black fat man: "Jianjun, it's working time now, hurry up and get up for me!!!"

There was no reaction at all, only the sound of the fat man sleeping soundly.Mr. Li finally couldn't control his emotions, he picked up a book and threw it at the fat man, just in time to hit the fat man's face, the fat man slowly opened his eyes.Rubbing his eyes, he saw the angry Mr. Li, and said unhurriedly, "Auntie, are you back?"

Mr. Li shouted: "Didn't I call you yesterday and tell you to pick me up at the airport today? I'm already home, and you're still sleeping here."

Jianjun stretched his waist, he was not nervous, he didn't feel that he had done something wrong, and said: "I got up very early, and when I saw that the time was not up, I thought about sleeping for a while, but ended up oversleeping." gone."

Mr. Li said helplessly: "This is to pick me up. What if I ask you to pick up customers?"

Jianjun washed his face, came out of the bathroom and said, "Then I won't sleep." After finishing speaking, he was probably hungry, and he found a box of instant noodles from somewhere. Angry President Li.

Mr. Li really lost his temper. He smiled awkwardly and asked me to enter her general manager's office.

Her office is tastefully decorated, with bookcases on two walls, a sofa in the middle, and a solid wood boss desk and chair.

I looked at the books on the bookcase, a set of four classics, and then "How to manage a business?" ""On the Necessary Ways of Enterprise Development", there are many other books in this area, but they are all brand new, and it seems that no one has ever read them.

After Mr. Li greeted me to leave, he asked me: "How do you feel? Do you want to take a rest first? I will take you to the place where you live in a while. My house has a two-bedroom and one living room behind this street. It has everything in it. You Go and see what you think? If you can, live there, close to the office, if you don’t like it, I’ll arrange you to stay in a hotel, you choose yourself.”

I replied: "Just live at home, and you can cook for yourself. I want to read the information, financial statements, corporate structure, and company promotional materials first."
