Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 37 Kindness Is Everywhere
After I finished speaking, I saw that Brother Zeng was also thinking about my words, and knowing that there would be no result today, I said hello to Brother Zeng and Miss Xia and left.

After returning to the factory, I carefully reviewed the company's relevant regulations on agents.To be honest, I think Brother Zeng is suitable in all aspects, and he is the best candidate.But what if he doesn't do it?What if the company doesn't agree?If you set up a sales department and recruit people here, the labor cost will be high. Will the company agree?And there will be no benefits in the short term, how to explain to the company?A series of questions flashed through my mind.

Before I knew it, it was already dark, and everyone in the office was gone.When I returned to the dormitory, I found that there was no one there, and the kitchen was not on fire today. I asked the chef to find out that they all went to Sister Hong’s house for dinner.

Sister Hong is a cleaner in the factory. She is very diligent and hardworking. She comes early and leaves the latest. The sanitation of the three workshops, plus the sanitation of the office building and dormitory building, she cleans by herself. I asked Li Xiang. Why not recruit a few more people? Li wanted to say that Sister Hong volunteered, and hoped that the company could pay her a little more.In fact, I am very opposed to this, because I also need to see efficiency in doing things. Although two people have two wages, the work efficiency is much higher. Although one person can finish the job, it will take too long.But this is Li Xiang's right, and I don't want to say too much.

So, I called Li Xiang's cell phone and said that there was no place to eat at night, so I would go too.Li Xiang readily told me the address of Sister Hong's house.

In an old community of Sister Hong's house, many of the community's workers are from the original factory.The community is a bit like a cheese building, and a bit like a student dormitory.The community is dilapidated, the garbage piles up into mountains, and the narrow aisle can only be passed by one person.Sister Hong’s house was on the first floor, and the corridor was dark. Standing in the corridor, it took me a while to get used to the light and find Sister Hong’s house.

Sister Hong's house is very small, a one-and-a-half-bedroom house with one hall and one room on the left and one on the left. Strictly speaking, the room on the right is a storage room, which can only fit a bed.There is a gas stove and a table in the hall. There is basically nothing to put down. The floor is made of limestone, and the walls are still red brick, which has not been painted.There are many people in the room, all of them.Tax workers, Li Xiang, Zhang Hua, Xiao Wan, Master Yin, Xiao Hai, Yang Gong and Xia Mao were also there, as well as colleagues from the two workshops.Seeing me coming, Sister Hong warmly greeted me to sit down, but I looked at it, and it seemed that there was really no place to sit, so I politely said: "It's been a day since I've been sitting, it's good to stand up, when will dinner be served? I've been hungry all day!"

Fine hair chirped, "You know you're hungry, we're still hungry, we just want to eat if we don't work, and there's no door."

Only then did I see that everyone was working, the tax collector was pouring garlic, Master Yin was chopping vegetables, and even Xiao Wan, who usually does not work, was helping to wash the vegetables.

I said innocently: "It's not that I don't do it, it really doesn't seem like I can do it? You can't let me cook, right?"

Sister Hong smiled and said, "No, no, I'll just fry it."

The fine hair held a box in front of me and said, "Then you pick the peppers, find the small ones, dry them, crush them, and fry them in chili oil for a while."

I took the box and started to work, but after a while I was in tears.It's too spicy.Xiaomao jokingly said: "I asked you to do some work, but you were crying. Are you so wronged?" Xiaowan said, "Yes, if you don't want to do it, just say it directly, don't you need to cry?" Everyone laughed.

The dishes are very fragrant, but it is very spicy, but no one can't eat spicy food anymore, and each one is better than the other. Master Yin can eat chili peppers better than the locals. .

After dinner, on the way back, I realized why everyone likes to eat at Sister Hong's house.Sister Hong’s family conditions are very poor. Her husband passed away in a car accident a few years ago, leaving a daughter who is in junior high school. The two depend on each other. The daughter is very good, and she is admitted to a key middle school in the area. For Sister Hong, who couldn't pay her salary for a few months, it was very difficult.Because he didn't have any skills, he had to find some odd jobs on the street.Because the school is far from home, his daughter wakes up early every day and returns home late. Although the school has dormitories, Sister Hong cannot afford the accommodation fee, so she can only suffer for her child.

This job in the factory, Sister Hong cherishes very much and works harder than anyone else.Fine hair often goes to Sister Hong's house for dinner, that is, every time she goes there, she buys a lot of vegetables, so that Sister Hong doesn't have to lose her children on diet.After everyone knew about it, they also learned to fine hair one after another. From time to time, they proposed to go to Sister Hong's house for dinner, and then buy a bunch of things in the past, euphemistically, they wanted to transform their lives.

Kindness is everywhere, and kindness can always make people feel the warmth of the world, like the warm spring breeze, like the warm sun in winter, making people feel comfortable and at ease, and people will always be grateful.

I have a habit of visiting bookstores whenever I go to a place. I think a bookstore in a place can tell the cultural heritage of the place.The bookstores in some places are dilapidated and have a small area, which shows that people in this place do not love reading, and it can be understood that the desire for knowledge is not strong enough.

Reading is the best and fastest way to improve self-cultivation.Therefore, the bookstore in the city is the place I go to most often, and the place I am most familiar with.Every time I went to the bookstore to buy a book, I would bring a few reference books to Sister Hong’s daughter. When I first gave it to her, I told her that the bookstore was on sale and would buy one get one free. But after that, she noticed it more and more and said anything. If you want to give me money, I don't want to die, so I told her that the company has such benefits.

When I talk about Sister Hong, I don’t mean to say that I have done such a great deed, nor to say that my colleagues are kind, but I feel that sometimes, when you are within your power, doing some kind deeds will not only help those in need People, and you will be happy both physically and mentally. Don't think it's a trivial matter, so don't extend your kind hands. Sometimes the trivial things you think are helpful to those in need.I think in the heart of Sister Hong's daughter, the seeds of kindness will also be planted.

Back to the topic, Brother Zeng didn't look for me for a few days after we talked. I was a little anxious, but I also knew that this matter was not urgent. The more I looked for him first, the more he would hang up and sell it. Be sure to hold your breath.

One morning, Mr. Huang brought a group of people to inspect the factory, which he hadn't told me before.When they came, Mr. Huang introduced to me that they are a trading company in Zhuzhou, and they are interested in cooperating with our company and want to win the agency right in Hunan.The leader was an old man with gray hair and a medium build. He was a little staggering when he walked. He needed someone to help him. Mr. Huang called him Wang Lao.

It is said that Wang Lao used to be a senior official who retired from the province. It is unknown how high he is.His trading company is very big, and most of the profitable transactions in Zhuzhou are related to him.After visiting the factory, we went to the conference room.

A female deputy of Wang Lao first asked a question: "Mr. Huang, hello, I would like to ask if the products in your factory have ISO9000 certification? I don't think your on-site management has 5S management, so there should be no such management system. Bar?"

President Huang looked at me, and then said to me, "This is our Vice President Chen. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly."
