Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 261 Being put on stage
Liu Ziran walked away resentfully.

Du Shiyang, who was on the side, asked me: "You two are rivals in love? What an excellent woman, it's worth fighting to the death between you two?"

I looked at Liu Ziran who was leaving and said, "What kind of rival in love? He's just wishful thinking. My Sheng Nan felt like throwing up at the first sight of him, from the top of his head to his heels!"

Du Shiyang said to himself, "Shengnan, she is so happy!"

This group activity cost me a total of 2 yuan, and Xiao Wei wanted to pay for it to pretend to be taken advantage of.I would not even beat him to death. I could see that he was sincere and not pretending. Finally, the manager here gave me a discount.

I secretly wrote it down, thinking about going back to the company, I went to ask Mr. Dong for reimbursement, and I can't afford the money.It's strange to say that there are many rich people around me, but I don't know why I am the one who bleeds every time, and why I, a poor person, always pays for these rich people.I think in their eyes, this little money is not money at all.

On the way back to school, I sat next to Director Qin and asked in a low voice: "Director Qin, you said that if I ask for two days off next week, will the school approve it?"

Director Qin said with a smile: "You are asking the wrong person. You can ask your instructor or Principal Pan. You can ask me if it is any use!"

I smiled and said, "Isn't this just throwing stones to ask for directions? Then I should go to Principal Pan directly? Or should I go to our instructor?"

Director Qin pointed to Principal Pan, who was sitting in front of us, and then stopped talking. I nodded and thanked him.

I sneaked up to Principal Pan, and he saw me sitting over and asked, "Smiling badly, what do you want from me? Teacher Yuan has agreed to come back. Classes will continue as normal next week. What else can you do?"

I nodded and thanked: "Thank you, principal, please don't tell her that I begged for mercy, she is a face-saving person."

Principal Pan smiled and said: "You, I see, what else do you want? It's okay, I want to rest for a while, I'm getting old, and I can't compare with you young people. So energetic." After finishing speaking, he was about to close his eyes and meditate.

I hurriedly said: "Principal, look at this. I have something urgent next week and I want to ask for two days off. What do you think?"

Principal Pan opened his eyes and said: "This is not allowed. The school has regulations. During the school period, no one is allowed to skip classes without special circumstances, especially your two classes. The higher-ups are closely watching, and people may come down one day." checked."

I was hesitant to tell him the truth, but finally I lied and said, "I really have something urgent at home."

Principal Pan thought for a while and said, "If it's really urgent at home, just go, and don't delay the class."

After I heard it, I was not happy at all, and felt very guilty, and I confessed again: "Forget it, you are so easy to deceive, I can't bear it anymore, it's like this, there is an electrical tools fair in Shenyang, the organizer wants to invite I used to be a friend of mine, you see, if it’s okay, it’s fine.”

Principal Pan grumbled and said, "You're not good at lying. Didn't you say that you're famous, and you don't have a word of truth in your mouth?"

I said sincerely: "I also judge people when I lie. I can't tell a half-word lie to someone who treats people sincerely. Just say it's okay? No, you can call and refuse now."

Principal Pan said with a smile: "Because you are so good at grilling and being so honest, I will give you a day off. You must come back before self-study at night. Try not to let others know!"

I am very grateful.

At 4 o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, I quietly drove out of the school gate in the Camry and rushed all the way to Shenyang, and it was close to 9 o'clock in Shenyang.

I went straight to the venue, and when I was about to enter the venue, I was stopped by the staff, who insisted on showing my ticket, but no matter what, I had to queue up to buy a ticket.

Shen Yang's call came: "Brother, are you really not coming? How many people want to see you, and I promised them all."

I said dissatisfied: "How did you arrange it? Let me be a guest here in line to buy tickets, and you won't come out to pick me up."

Shen Yang hung up the phone directly, and after a while, I saw the queue and scolded me: "Are you out of your mind? Just make a phone call and it will be over, are you kidding me? Hurry up, it will start right away." Then , Pulled me to go in, the staff still stopped, Shen Yang took out the ID on his chest and said: "This is an important guest I invited, tell your manager later, let us in now quickly."

At this time, a man who looked like a manager also came over, and blamed the staff: "Is it okay to be a little discerning? Anyone will stop!" After finishing speaking, he politely let us in, and I saw that he was still blaming the staff, Just turn around and say: "Don't blame him, he is also doing his own responsibility."

When we arrived at the venue, all the booths had been arranged, and every manufacturer and company had put a lot of thought into it.

The expo will have a simple opening ceremony, which is to introduce the purpose of the expo to the participants and introduce the participating manufacturers.

There were a bunch of people sitting on the rostrum, seeing Shen Yang coming, they gave up their seats one after another, I hesitated, Shen Yang grabbed my hand and walked towards the center together.A lot of people cast a questioning look at me. After the two of us sat in the middle seat, the host announced the official start of the expo.

Then began to introduce one by one, the guests on the rostrum.Probably the host didn’t know me, didn’t say hello in advance, just skipped me, and introduced the people next to me. Among this group of people, I noticed a person. When introducing him, he called him Mr. Nan. Applause, as if giving him face, saying that he is the largest power tool agent in Shenyang.

Then, the participating manufacturers from all over the country were introduced, including the Chinese agents of two foreign brands, who also came to participate in the exhibition.The top ten manufacturers in China basically also came.

Then, the organizer gave a speech, and Shen Yang spoke on behalf of the association. After he finished speaking, he introduced me: "This is Mr. Chen of the Wanzhong Group. People outside the industry may not know him very well, but people inside our industry, I believe most people Yes, I know, this is a sales genius with a single product sales of over [-] million. I invited him to come over this time. First, I want to tell you about the development trend of our industry, and second, through this platform, he Let me take the lead and set up a chamber of commerce to facilitate communication and exchange of resources with members of chambers of commerce across the country. Next, Mr. Chen will speak."

After listening to Shen Yang's words, I was stunned, what chamber of commerce?Why didn't you say hello to me before, is this going to put me on stage?
I picked up the microphone, said a few nonsensical words, made some polite remarks, praised the organizer of this expo for being farsighted, for doing a good thing for the industry, etc., and then handed the microphone to Shen Yang.

The opening ceremony ended hastily and the expo officially started. I stepped off the stage and came to booth No. 1. I saw acquaintances I hadn’t seen for a long time, Mr. Li, Erbao, Jiaqi, Jianjun and Xiaoshuai, and I saw everyone getting very close.

Er Bao said coquettishly, "Uncle Chen, do you still remember us?"

I smiled and said, "How can uncle not remember you? You don't have to go to class? Why did you come here?"

Mr. Li explained: "I have graduated, and now I am helping here. I want to take over Bao'er's class, but I am still far from Bao'er, so let's study first. Thank you so much this time, how about we don't know what to do?" Can’t get this booth!”

I was a little puzzled and asked: "Mr. Li, why do you attach so much importance to this No. 1 exhibition? In my opinion, people who come to visit may not be the first to notice this location. People who come in, the first impression is often the first booth they see, not the booth in the center."

Mr. Li explained: "It is like this, because the expo always has leaflets, and booth No. 1 means that it is the most prominent place in the leaflets, and it is also the position with the largest publicity page. For retail investors and domestic companies who come to inspect, we It doesn’t matter at all, the most important thing is that there are foreign companies and some foreign agency companies visiting this time, and they often follow the rules when doing things, and they will start from booth No. 1, which is very important to us.”

I nodded my head and praised: "Mr. Li has done a lot of homework, amazing!"

Mr. Li shook his head and said: "I don't have that ability. I really can't bear to let Bao'er do the homework before leaving. This girl is serious and meticulous in her work, and she is half of my second treasure. I feel relieved to hand over the company to her. She is really a rare talent, but unfortunately, I really can't keep her here. But I think it's true, the master is so good, how can the apprentice be so bad?"

I looked at Erbao and said: "I think Erbao is a general. You have to give her some time. With time, she will definitely be able to take over your class. Let her work in the society for a few years. Accumulate some experience, and the two Bao'ers will be no match for her by then!"

Er Bao smiled and said, "I, Uncle Chen, still have vision."

After that, I chatted with Jiaqi and the others for a while, asked about their sales situation, and gave them some suggestions.

Shen Yang came over, and when I saw him, my face darkened, and he guessed it, so he smiled, pulled me aside, and explained to me: "If I had told you about this in advance, you would definitely not have come over. , So, I'll cut it first and then play it, you don't really blame brother, do you?"

I asked, "Can you at least give me an explanation? I don't like being put on stage."

Shen Yang said: "It's like this. The trade association I worked so hard to set up was taken over by others. Now that the trade association has become bigger, they kicked me out. I'm not reconciled, so I decided to establish it. A chamber of commerce came to fight against them, but I am weak on my own, so I have to pull a tiger's skin and pull a big banner, and then I thought of you, so I will help my brother, and my brother owes you a favor."

I smiled and said, "It's not as simple as you said, is it? I've pulled the tiger's skin for you, that is to say, it must be against the industry association now. How will I deal with the industry standards in the future? Just come up with a few industry standards. If I can't achieve it, how can I sell it in the future? You are doing this for yourself, and you are cutting off my money!"
