Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 544
The waiter came over and said loudly to the man in the suit: "Sir, someone has already booked this box in advance, and it was at a high price. If we don't give it to him, we will lose a lot of money!"

The man in the suit snorted and said, "How much is the high price? You're saying that because I want this one? Do you think I'm stupid?"

The waiter was very embarrassed and said: "Sir, it's true, why don't I ask you about other boxes?" After speaking, he squeezed out, walked to me and looked at me.

I thought for a while and said, "Give him the box next to this one, and see if he wants it?"

The waiter went back and said, "Sir, the box next to this one is the same size as this one, and the person who reserved that room didn't come, why don't you go to that one?"

The man in the suit said without even thinking about it: "No! I want this one! Can you ask the reservation guests if they can change to that one?"

This time the waiter didn't come back to ask me, so he replied directly: "I'm afraid it won't work. It's not a question of money, but a question of our restaurant's reputation!"

Seeing that the waiter was so determined, the man in the suit took out his mobile phone, made a call, and then immediately came back and said, "I want this one. How much can you say? I'll pay them for you!"

The waiter lost his mind again and told him to wait.

I came back and told me about the situation, and I told him: "Just say 1000 yuan, and if he gives it, you can give him this box, and then tell him that this box has a minimum consumption of 3 yuan!"

The waiter was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do we have a minimum consumption?"

I smiled and said: "I said yes! In addition, find a few people to move the food and drinks in our box to the nextmost room, as far away as possible from this box!"

The waiter didn't understand what I meant, but he nodded and complied.

After I walked into our box, everyone was wondering why I had to change boxes, and I simply replied: "It's nothing, this room is quieter, everyone keep drinking!"

After drinking for a while, I went out and saw the man in the suit being reprimanded by Wang Weidong.

I walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Wang, come to my restaurant for dinner, why don't you talk to me?"

Wang Weidong said embarrassingly: "If I don't bother you, I won't bother you." Then, he looked at the man in the suit and said, "Okay, you go first!"

A waiter just came over, I pulled the waiter, pointed to the man in the suit and asked, "Has the gentleman's box been arranged just now?"

The waiter nodded, but the man in the suit got angry and said, "Arrange the fart! I took 1000 yuan, and it turned out..."

Wang Weidong hastily stopped him from continuing: "Shut up! Get out!"

I smiled and asked, "Mr. Wang, why are you so angry?"

The man in the suit said angrily: "Tell me to book this box, and I will book it for you, and it cost 1000 yuan, so you can give me the money first!"

Wang Weidong immediately took out his wallet and dumped 1000 yuan on the ground. The man in the suit picked up the 1000 yuan on the ground and said, "MD, I didn't do things like you. I did it for you. Now you still blame me." gone?"

Wang Weidong was so angry that he shouted loudly, "Get out!"

The man in the suit walked out aggrieved.

In their box, Lu Ping came out, and I hurried over to say hello: "Oh, Mr. Lu also came to my store to join us. Today is your villain's big gathering?"

Lu Ping glared at me and said, "What did you say? A big gathering of villains?"

I hurriedly said: "You heard it wrong! Just the two of you? Booking such a big box? It's a waste!"

Lu Ping said dissatisfiedly: "I have money but don't spend it, can't I?"

I smirked and said: "Okay, that's great, welcome to come often, but I don't know if there is a waiter just now, let me tell you, the minimum consumption of this box is 3 yuan, I'm afraid you two can't finish it? How about Call a few more people over to eat, or ask someone to pack it for you!"

Wang Weidong asked with a long mouth: "What 3 yuan? The waiter didn't tell me!"

The waiter next to me immediately said: "I told you, it was the gentleman who booked the box just now, and I confirmed it with him repeatedly!"

I ordered decisively: "The rules of the restaurant cannot be broken. Remember that the two of you must spend enough before leaving! You must serve well!"

Then, he said to Wang Weidong: "I don't think there is any need for a discount. Mr. Wang and Mr. Lu are not people who are short of money. Besides, when you eat, I think Zhongjing can also report it to you? Giving you a discount is a slap in the face of Zhongjing, yes Right? Then enjoy your dinner for two slowly, I won't accompany you!"

After drinking with the people in the sales department, I asked them to leave. Yun Manni, Yu Hong and I were the last to leave. I said, "There must be an insider among the people who just had a meeting, otherwise Wang Weidong would never know. Those who eat here have to eavesdrop next door, and there must be no ghosts among those who come to eat, otherwise they don’t need to eavesdrop at all, how many people who asked for leave and didn’t come to eat?”

Yun Manni thought for a while and replied: "The manager of the East China Region didn't come, saying he was going to catch a plane back to Shanghai, and the head of the internal affairs department didn't come. There is something at home, so everyone else should have arrived."

Yu Hong said: "There is another Wang Xiaojun, she asked for leave."

I nodded and said firmly: "She has the biggest problem, so I have to guard against it! Try her again at another opportunity, what a pity!"

Yu Hong asked: "How to say?"

I sighed and said: "She was really an honest girl with me at the time. I didn't choose her when I entered the sales department in the first batch. She worked diligently in the workshop, and then I fell in love with her." , She has been by my side for several internal electrician accidents. I watched her grow up. She has good adaptability, patience, hard work, and carefulness. She is really a rare talent. It's a pity. Already!"

Yu Hong comforted: "It may not be her, maybe it's not surprising that it's those two!"

Yun Manni analyzed: "The Minister of Internal Affairs is definitely fine. She usually does not participate in such drinking and social occasions. She has worked in Wanzhong for decades. If there is a problem, there will be another problem. East China Region The director has done a good job in the past few years, the performance has been good, and he is very down-to-earth. I don’t think so! Besides, he told me before the meeting that there will be a product technology exchange meeting tomorrow, and this has been decided early in the morning. Yes, the place for our dinner was decided after he left, so he probably didn't know about it!"

I nodded and said, "Then it's basically confirmed. You ask Wang Xiaojun to come to me as soon as she gets to work tomorrow, and I will interrogate her personally!"

Yu Hong objected: "This is not good, if we wrong him, we will lose a good general! It is hard to find such a talent now!"

I sighed and said, "There's no way, we have to fight against everything, we have to guard against it!"

The two nodded, expressing their understanding.

When Wang Xiaojun knocked on my office, I was on the phone with Dong Zong. Wang Xiaojun saw me on the phone and wanted to wait for me outside, so I beckoned her to come in and sit down and wait for me.

Dong Zong said: "The project of purifying water dispensers is so good, why has it been stagnant? Hurry up and think of a way. After spending so much money to get it back, just put it on hold. This is not acceptable!"

I explained: "A while ago, wasn't I not here? I just saw it. If Mr. Hao, the agent in Dalian, hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known about it? It's not your fault, you There are many things, but next time you have to pay attention!"

Dong Zong laughed angrily at me, and said: "Shouldn't I tell you this? What should I pay attention to? You should pay attention to it. How is the internal cleaning going? Is there any resistance?"

I glanced at Wang Xiaojun, who was sitting calmly on the chair, and then said with a smile: "No, now I am the third among all the people, and no one dares to be the second! Everyone is almost clear, but there are quite a few of them." There is also a lack of people in the position, and it is difficult to fill them up for a while. Even training will take time. This time we are really hurt. In the future, we must take care of personnel. It is too dangerous to recruit people in such a large number. !"

Mr. Dong hummed and said, "You worry about these things. I'm not in the company for a while, so you can figure it out. If it doesn't work, transfer the backbone of the subsidiary company and your veterans."

I thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure about people, how can anyone use them?"

Dong Zong said angrily: "Then you want me to help you recruit people? That's it, I'll get on the plane right away!"

After hanging up the phone with President Dong, I asked Wang Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, do you have any talents to introduce? Now that the company is undergoing a major change, there is a shortage of people!"

Wang Xiaojun replied flatly: "No, none of my colleagues in Geling are suitable. There are really few people under Mr. Xiao who can be used. Although Xiaolian is good, she will definitely not come here. You Should you imagine it?"

I asked curiously: "How is Xiao Wu doing now? I have never heard from him!"

Wang Xiaojun replied flatly: "He sold Geling, and he regretted it when he got the money. He was promised to be the general manager at first, but after four vice presidents came, he was dismissed. Saying that he plays golf and fishes every day, he has already lost his desire to compete for the top spot."

I hummed and asked again: "What about Xiaolian? She also retired early?"

Wang Xiaojun shook her head and said, "She built a small factory by herself, specializing in the production of special enameled wires, all domestic machines, the rejection rate of batches of goods is too high, and the deviation of the wire diameters is too large, so only a few dare to use them. She invited me to go, and after I went to see it, I couldn’t get it technically, and I couldn’t help her, and I couldn’t sell it at all, so I didn’t agree to her.”

I questioned, "Then why didn't she look for her father?"

Wang Xiaojun shook his head and said: "Xiao Wu's heart is dead, and he doesn't have the heart to fight anymore. He just wants Xiao Lian to make a fuss on his own. Anyway, he is not short of money. Ge Ling still sold it for a good price."

I snorted and said, "Not to mention anything else, Zhongjing is really generous in this regard, as if it is not his own money, no matter whether it is worth it or not, as long as it is in the way, buy it all!"

Wang Xiaojun looked at me and said, "Do you think Zhongjing's behavior is ridiculous?"

I asked back, "Isn't it?"

Wang Xiaojun sneered and said, "I think you're looking at the problem too one-sidedly. Although it costs a lot of money in the early stage, it seems that the gain is not worth the loss, but from the overall perspective, it is still the most effective and easiest method. I don't think there is any problem with it? Time waits for no one, only by quickly integrating the stumbling blocks of the industry can we achieve industrial upgrading and reorganization as soon as possible, so as to bring about a real technological revolution! Survival of the fittest, optimization and reorganization can make China's manufacturing industry stand firm in the international arena!"

I sighed and said: "Really? Then you think it is right for Zhongjing to acquire Wanzhong? Wanzhong is actually blocking Zhongjing's progress? We should let Zhongjing rule the world, so that China's manufacturing industry can stand firm in the international arena." huh?"

Wang Xiaojun looked at me strangely and said, "Do you think what I mean? Wanzhong is already a flag in the world, a symbol of China's manufacturing industry. I know that Wanzhong has been silent in many countries in recent years. It is a well-known brand and the sales volume is also very good! Before I came, I did a survey, why is Wanzhong’s source of funds so sufficient? The gross profit of Wanzhong’s products is very high, but it only relies on domestic sales , how to support a year of hundreds of millions of investment in R & D technology? This is unscientific! One does not borrow money from the bank, and the other does not misappropriate money from the stock market. In the past few years, the focus is no longer in the country, but to export and earn money from foreigners!"

I stared at Wang Xiaojun in surprise and asked, "Did you think of this yourself? Or did someone tell you and ask you to pass it on to me?"

Wang Xiaojun stared at me with sympathy and surprise and asked, "What do you mean?"

I snorted and said, "Let's open the skylight and speak clearly. What is your purpose for coming to Wanzhong this time?"

Wang Xiaojun understood what I meant, and said angrily: "I originally came here for you. I didn't want to tell you in private because I was afraid of causing you trouble. After all, so many things have happened to Wanzhong recently. But now it seems , I was wrong, time is passing, people are changing, I understand."

I was a little embarrassed, but I still couldn't see Wang Xiaojun clearly, so I said, "I'm a soldier now, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes. That's why I came to talk to you this year."

Wang Xiaojun sighed and said, "You have really changed, and you have become distrustful of people. The former you will never be as suspicious as you are now."

I said frankly: "This is also something that can't be helped. After experiencing too many people and things, trust has become a luxury. I apologize to you. You have been with me for so long. I shouldn't have doubted you. I'm sorry." !"

Wang Xiaojun smiled sadly and said, "I'm not sorry, but I'm a little disappointed. Mr. Chen, let's get together and break up. Thank you for cultivating me for so many years!"

I knew I was going to leave, so I hurriedly said: "Xiaojun, I hope you understand, you came from Greening, and Greening was acquired by Zhongjing again, and it happened that you didn't go to dinner yesterday, and the people from Zhongjing were eating with us I booked a room next door to you and prepared to eavesdrop on us, all of this is a coincidence, and I think your attitude has changed a lot, unlike you before, so I have doubts about you, I hope you can understand!"
