Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 592

I thought for a while and asked, "Then what are your plans now? Are you planning to retire from the world?"

Dong Zong smiled and said: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where can we go? I just want to avoid some risks. I don't want to make large investments in the near future. Keep an eye on the payment. Others are fine? Xiaohao How have you been recently?"

I smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, just go and see him yourself."

Mr. Dong sighed and said, "I won't go. I'll have to argue with him again. Just help me keep an eye on him. I'm a little tired, so I won't come over in the afternoon."

I was concerned: "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mr. Dong replied flatly: "It's okay, I'm just tired. I've been in the industry for so many years, and it's a bit uncomfortable to see my friends around me fall down one by one."

After Dong Zong left, I have never seen Dong Zong so disappointed, so discouraged, and I couldn't help feeling a little worried.

I consulted a lot of information and read a lot of the latest financial reports. The country and rivers of the motherland are in good shape. I didn't see any large number of entity enterprises closing down, nor did I see any related news.

I know Mr. Dong is not a person who is worrying about nothing. Her sense of crisis must be her reason. If she retires, what should I do?Do I have to start thinking about the way out?
When I got home, I saw that Dong Zihao was always inseparable from Grandpa Sun. I felt very strange, so I asked Xiaoxue: "What's the matter? Who stipulated that he should follow Grandpa Sun? It's not necessary, is it?"

Xiaoxue said with a smile: "It's not that the old man asked him to follow, but he wanted to follow. He likes the battle stories that the old man told him, and he was hooked."

I oh, walked over and said to Dong Zihao: "Your mother is back, do you want to go home?"

Dong Zihao's head was like a rattle drum, he kept shaking his head and said, "No, I live here quite well, don't you want to drive me away?"

I smiled and said: "That's not necessary, I was annoying you before, but now I think you are quite well-behaved, but why don't you call your mother, she seems to be in trouble!"

Dong Zihao hummed, and said, "Understood! I'll go home and have a look tomorrow, but you have to save the room for me, and I'll come back to live in it!"

I nodded and asked, "It doesn't matter how long you live here, but you don't plan to go back to France to study? It's not an option to stay here all the time!"

Dong Zihao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I won't go back, and I won't be wanted there anymore, I've made up my mind, I want to apply for the military academy, and after listening to Grandpa Sun's battle stories, I want to be a soldier of the People's Liberation Army. "

I groaned and said, "Isn't it? I'm not saying that Grandpa Sun's story is not good, but it was a time of war. Now it's a time of peace. You went to the army and didn't fight any battles. Do you want to think about it again?" what?"

Dong Zihao replied firmly: "Don't think about it. I've thought about it. No matter what age, people's army is needed. Even if I don't go to the army, I want to be a people's policeman."

I didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so I persuaded him: "You can ask your male sister Sheng about this. She has worked for so many years. If you really want to apply for the exam, she can give you some good advice. However, you still You have to discuss it with your mother first, I guess she wants you to inherit her mantle!"

What I didn't expect was that when I talked about this with Dong Zong, Dong Zong was very excited, and she said happily: "Xiaohao told me that he wants to apply for the military academy, and you did it for him." Work? You have done a great job!"

I looked at her hesitantly and asked, "Are you talking ironically? Or are you really happy?"

Mr. Dong said with a smile: "Of course I'm really happy. He can find the direction of life for himself. It's a great thing. I asked him to study in France before because I wanted him to inherit my career. It wasn't him at all. Voluntary, I can see that he is not that material at all. Now that he has found a career he likes and a direction in his life, I am relieved! Thank you!"

I asked Dong Zong strangely: "Why don't you want him to inherit your business? Then what will your business do in the future?"

Dong Zong looked at me and said, "You! You are also expected by everyone now, the vice president of the association, the leader of the people, and I will transfer the people to you soon!"

I almost jumped up, not happy but intimidated!In fact, I was prepared. I know President Dong intends to cultivate me to become her successor. I also think this is a logical thing, but I think this is too soon?
I hurriedly said: "What's the matter with you recently? After I came back from Europe, I felt that something was wrong with you. Even if you want to quit, you don't have to be so fast, right? Besides, I don't want to take over Wanzhong, I also have my own business to do what!"

Mr. Dong shook his head and said: "I don't worry about handing it over to others. Your other careers are all nonsense. I don't know you yet. You don't want to go to any place except Wanzhong! I have paved the way for you. Next time At the first session of the board of directors, I will propose you to take over my position, I don’t think there will be any major resistance, so it’s decided!”

I have waited countless times for this day to come, hoping to say such words from Mr. Dong's mouth, and I have also fantasized countless times, the day when I take over the crowd.It shouldn't be like this, it's not what I imagined.

No jubilation, no elation, but very lost.

I was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I don't know what made you discouraged and wanted to retire so soon, but I think it's definitely not the time for you to go down now. The market is still unstable, and our internal personnel have not stabilized, and there are still internal and external troubles. Is it too early for you to transfer the management power to me at this time?"

Mr. Dong smiled and said: "You know a person who just got his driver's license was afraid of going on the road at first, but after he had just learned a little bit, he frantically practiced when he saw a car, and he started to be afraid after being hit once. Go on the road. After a while, you will be invincible, and you will be invincible. When you hit the second time, you will be completely scared, and you will not even dare to hold the steering wheel. I am the one who hit twice. The person in the second car, I am timid in doing things now, and I can’t make a correct judgment at all. I want to retire when my career is at its peak, let me go more honorably, and leave some room for myself. You can fulfill me!"

I said a little angrily: "You patted your ass and retired gloriously, but have you ever thought about me? With such a big stall, you just leave and leave me alone, what should I do? If I have such ability , I definitely do my part, the problem is, I am immature, I am not half as good as you in thinking about problems and dealing with things? I am not comprehensive enough in thinking about things, and sometimes the angle of looking at problems is too extreme. This is my fault. It’s impossible, I don’t agree, if you just leave like this, I’m sure I won’t take over your class, anyway, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, I’ll leave as soon as you leave, the big deal is to find someone to take over Already!"

Dong Zong was not angry, but smiled and said: "If you can see your own problems clearly, it means that you have matured. I have watched you grow these years. I think you can do it, and you will do it! I will continue to do it , I will have problems, and I have to make such a choice. You remember, the emperor takes turns to do it, and the reason why he will come to my house next year. In any position, I don’t want to dream that I will be in it forever. There will be people who are jealous, and they will definitely not be able to sit still. How can you not get your shoes wet when you often walk by the river?"

I was surprised and said steadily: "You mean, your shoes are already wet?"

Dong Zong sighed and said: "If you don't look into it, there is nothing wrong with anyone. If you want to look into it, no one is clean!"

Dong Zihao left and went to Shanghai to take the military academy exam, but his luggage was left at our house. Mr. Dong accompanied him to the company. After the conversation, she really seldom participated in it, and the people in the company gradually got used to it. , In the days without President Dong, basically all major events are decided by me, and no one has any objections.

Occasionally, when I pass by Mr. Dong's office, I always feel that there is someone there who can make me feel at ease. When I encounter confusion, I go to ask her for advice.

The hot summer is here, and it is the peak season of air-conditioning. Everyone is very busy. Xiaoxue also started her study in Japan. This time, Katsuo took her there. The Lin family happened to have a house to live in in Hokkaido. The last time they went there, they lived there. I wanted to tell Lin Jiasheng that I bought his house, but as soon as I opened my mouth, he wanted to give it to me directly. It was given to me, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to mention it anymore, so I let them live in directly.

Three people left all of a sudden, and the house seemed very quiet again. My parents and the old man were also very unaccustomed to it. Fortunately, Yaoyang's family was still there. The three old men looked after a child, and Yaoyang and his wife were also at ease. .

The development of the European market went very smoothly. George and his younger brother cooperated seamlessly. George was not sloppy at work. He often quarreled with Joseph and had to come to me for adjudication.

Of course, I was against George, and Joseph also made concessions several times. FANCO company gave us the biggest preferential policy among all the manufacturers, and the sales volume continued to rise. He made money, so naturally he treated us with great courtesy. , for his own brother, he also obeyed.

When Ai Wen came to report to me, I asked her: "Do you know what's going on in Zhongjing in Dashang? Didn't you say they signed a contract? Why haven't you seen Zhongjing's products in Dashang's store yet?" ?”

Ai Wen gloated and said: "Your choice is right. Zhongjing chose Dashang. Now it is a dilemma. The contract is signed and must be fulfilled, but the contract is even more aggrieved than the "Nanjing Treaty". Let's not talk about it. The big merchants refused to give them a penny to decorate the shopping guide area, and asked Zhongjing to be responsible for the decoration. The shopping malls that Zhongjing entered were not open, and they were not allowed to enter any of the existing shopping malls."

I smiled and said: "This is a disguised form to ask Zhongjing to help them decorate the big business!"

Ai Wen nodded and said: "Yeah, it's too bullying! The shopping malls of their big merchants have a large area, so the places they open are in relatively remote areas. Zhongjing has invested money, and I don't know how those shopping malls can be sold." It can’t be opened anymore, and it will be a waste of time in minutes. Also, the big merchants don’t pay a penny in the early stage, and Zhongjing must sell their products on their counters for free. How much did they sell for? , and give them half of the points."

I snorted and said, "What's the difference between this f*cking one and the consignment one? These sticks are really nothing!"

Ai Wen laughed and said, "Let's, thank you for not signing with them. I remember you scolded them at that time. You really deserve it!"

I sighed and said, "Although Zhongjing is our competitor, they are all Chinese companies after all. I can't tell whether I am happy or a little disappointed."

Ai Wen looked at me and said, "Are you a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be merciful? You said that if it was us instead, the people in Zhongjing would laugh so hard! It's their own obsession, and they can't blame others!"

I hummed and said, "Yes, if things go on like this, the development of Zhongjing's overseas market will be far away."

After Ai Wen left, I thought about it and hung up on Lin Jiasheng: "Boss Lin, have you heard something?"

Lin Jiasheng asked, "What's the matter? Didn't we just talk on the phone not long ago? I really gave the house to you. I can't go to Japan a few times in my life. It's empty if it's empty!"

I hurriedly said: "I really don't want it. I'm not talking about this. Have you heard about Zhongjing and Dashang?"

Lin Jiasheng hummed and said, "You know, I just signed an unequal treaty. What's wrong, is it related to you?"

I smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me. Big merchants approached me before and I scolded them away. I thought, since Zhongjing is also a member of our association, should we help them too? "

Lin Jiasheng hesitated for a moment and said, "You are so kind? You are holding back some bad water again, aren't you?"

I denied it: "No, really not, you might as well call Hu Junsheng and persuade him that if this goes on, he will be exhausted, and let him stop the contract directly. The shopping malls of Dashang must continue to operate. In a while, where will they go to find a cooperative manufacturer? With this unequal contract, which domestic manufacturer dares to cooperate with them? By then, Dashang’s shopping mall will be renovated, and a large area of ​​household appliances will be empty. Let's see what he does?"

Lin Jiasheng thought for a while and said, "What if a big businessman sues directly? Zhongjing can't afford it!"

I snorted and said, "Why should they? It's an unequal contract. It's not sure who wins and who loses in a fight? Besides, this kind of economic lawsuit can be entrusted to it for ten or eight years, and Beijing can afford it. Can a big business afford it?"

Lin Jiasheng smiled and said: "It makes sense! Then you can just tell Hu Junsheng directly, why do you still have to pass me?"

I smiled and said, "I don't leave my name behind when I do good deeds!"
