Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 613 Reporter Interview

Fighting alone is different from fighting with a group of people following you.

Through the relationship of a director, Lao Bai found the provincial industrial and commercial quality bureau, and used them to test new parts. Under normal circumstances, we cannot take parts that are not produced by ourselves for testing.But through the relationship, Lao Bai quickly got the test results. This time, not only the harmful substances exceeded the standard, but also an important indicator, the high-temperature expansion rate, was seriously unqualified!Now, I am sure.

The good news keeps coming. After continuous efforts, Yunmanni finally found 10 consumers who bought their new accessories, air conditioners, physical examination report.

When I got it, Yun Manni kept complaining to me: "Boss, do you know how much risk I have taken? You can't take the private physical examination report casually. I spent a lot of effort to get it. I got a photocopy, but I think you are wasting your time, I checked it and found nothing wrong."

I said with an oh: "Thanks for your hard work!" Then read it carefully.

I observed it and found that among the 10 physical examination reports, one indicator was low, that is, the white blood cells were all low, which was beyond the healthy range.

So, I asked, "Have you asked the doctor about the white blood cell index? Why are they generally low?"

Yun Manni nodded and said: "I asked, the doctor said it might be a coincidence, low white blood cells can be caused by many factors, it may be a cold and fever, or lack of physical exercise, staying up late, excessive alcohol, It can all be caused! Moreover, this indicator is within an acceptable range, and strictly speaking, it is not a symptom!"

I hummed and said, "It's just such a coincidence? 10 people caught a cold together? I think there is still a problem. Okay, you have worked hard, leave this to me!"

Immediately afterwards, I asked my classmate who sent the physical examination report to BJ, and asked her to check for me. Is there any problem?
Hu Junsheng naturally knew that I would not give up just like that, and soon he had a new countermeasure. He questioned the fifteen patented technology products and honors of our Wanzhong, and found a lot of experts to conduct an investigation on our Wanzhong. attack.I want to destroy the myths created by all of us in one fell swoop.

Among these patents, one that he particularly attacked was the honorary certificate of "Green Partner" in cooperation with South Korea's Samsung.

This "Green Partner" honorary certificate was a threshold that Japanese and Korean companies had to declare if they wanted to enter at that time, and its gold content was still very high. After all, at that time, South Korea was very contemptuous of things made in China , even harsh, even if the tested parameters are consistent, they will still make things difficult for us. We have worked hard to get the certificate, but now it has become someone else's talk.

Various voices of doubt: Why do Koreans have to test things made in China, and why should they test us?
Why do Koreans have to recognize the highest level of manufacturing in China?What is the significance of this certificate?What is tested is basically the product parameters, but the working environment of the factory, the amount of pollutants discharged, the environmental protection index of the product, etc., which have almost nothing to do with the product.

Then there was a lot of scolding, saying that we were originally a company invested by Korean companies, and that we had been making money for Koreans for so many years, saying that we were just OEMs to make other people's products, and I was the first to become a traitor.

This has to let me explain.

So I accepted an interview from a well-known reporter from CCTV's economic channel. Before the interview, I was not given any manuscripts. They were all on-site interviews, one shot to the end.

I sat in the seat where I had interviewed President Dong, and a reporter said first: "First of all, thank you for accepting our interview!"

I nodded and said, "It is also my honor to be interviewed by you!"

The reporter hummed and said, "Then let's start officially! Do you know that the seat you are sitting now is the seat we sat when we visited President Dong?"

I smiled and replied: "You mean, I'm sitting in Dong Zong's position now, right?"

The reporter smiled and didn't answer me, but asked: "You are only 32 years old, and you have already taken the top position in Wanzhong. Are you not quite used to it?"

I touched the chair and said, "Is it okay? It's about the same as the one in my office, I don't think it's much taller!"

The reporter was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "There have been a lot of news about you recently? You are also on the cusp of the limelight now, why did you receive so many doubts when you took office? It is your ability No, is it still a question of your qualifications?"

I frowned, knowing that the question was getting sharper, and replied: "I don't know, did you do any research on me before interviewing me? Do you know that I have been in Wanlong for many years? In terms of qualifications, many veterans here The employees have not been in Wanzhong for a long time. In terms of ability, I can’t say this, but since the board of directors can send me to this position, I believe they still have vision? As for doubts, this is normal, only passing If you pay more attention, you will have too many doubts, which means that everyone values ​​me, right?"

The reporter then asked: "Do you have anything to say about the recent dispute between Wanzhong and Beijing?"

I answered very directly: "No!"

The reporter didn't expect that, so I answered two words, and then asked: "Is it Mr. Hu from Zhongjing who proposed to expel the permanent director of your home appliance association? You have nothing to say?"

I still replied, "No!"

The reporter immediately made a pause gesture, and then said to me: "Mr. Chen, if you are like this, I won't be able to visit at all. Can you not hesitate to write like gold?"

I froze for a moment, ignored the reporter, and looked at Lu Yuchen behind the camera. She is now the director of the public relations department of our group. She immediately realized the problem and walked over. We whispered to her: "It's not a mirror. In the end? How can it be paused in the middle, does that mean they have to edit? The things that came out..."

Lu Yuchen nodded immediately, and began negotiating with the director of the program.

After talking for a while, she came over again and whispered in my ear: "They said they just edited the two parts together. After the program comes out, it will be reviewed by us before it will be broadcast! Also, I hope you can say more about it. If so, I will give you a chance to cleanse yourself!"

I snorted and nodded.

Before turning on the phone, I said to this famous reporter: "Do you think I am whitewashing when I accept your interview? I don't need it at all. I will answer you truthfully for the following questions, but I hope you It can be broadcast as it is!"

As the interview continued, the reporter first smiled at me, and then said: "You seem to have inconsistent attitudes towards the China Household Electrical Appliances Association. Before that, you highly praised the Household Appliances Association, and you established the testing center yourself. With your recent attitude, it seems that you don't care too much about quitting the Home Appliances Association?"

I thought for a while and said: "The establishment of the Home Appliances Association is very necessary. The management of an industry requires an organization. I have put a lot of effort into the establishment of the Home Appliances Association. But whether it can play its true role If it becomes a tool for a few people to make money, I think it will lose its original purpose, which is not what I want to see, so I don’t care too much now.”

The reporter asked: "You mean, if you lose your association, its meaning is gone?"

I denied it: "I didn't say that, and I didn't mean that. I just said that it might have changed its nature and I don't want to participate anymore!"

The reporter then asked the next question: "Then can you explain the recent rumors that Wanzhong is a foreign-funded enterprise?"

I nodded and said: "I noticed your words, I am very pleased! Yes, this is a rumor, more precisely, it is a rumor. Our group company is a wholly-owned private enterprise. I and Dong Zong’s shares already accounted for 51% of the company’s total shares. We still have so many shareholders, all of whom are veterans of the company. I don’t know if they have changed their nationality, but their money must be in RMB! As for a small part The injection of foreign capital, which happens to every company, is normal. Among the top [-] domestic companies, which company has no foreign capital? They are not the capital of the leading company, but the investment made by some foreign investors. They want to make money , we need their market, isn’t that contradictory?”

The reporter nodded and said, "Then how do you explain Samsung's "Green Partner" certificate?"

I spread my hands and asked, "What needs to be explained? This is an honor! Is there any problem with us accepting this honor? When the Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to Mo Yan, shouldn't he accept it? Does he need to explain something?" Isn’t a foreign award an award? To win a foreign award is to worship foreigners? What kind of logical thinking is this?”

The reporter asked: "But the industry said that you are using South Korea's production standards to measure domestic production. This means that you admit that foreign production is superior to domestic production! It's like you take the new parts developed by Zhongjing to foreign countries for testing. Similarly, you believe in foreign production and testing levels more, right?"

I shook my head and said: "Frankly speaking, ten years ago, the products made in China were indeed inferior to foreign countries in many aspects. The control of products and the technical requirements for products were not good! We got the "Green Partner" certificate , it was ten years ago, and there is no standard in China that is stricter than theirs. Since their products are good, why can't we follow suit? Is there anything wrong with this?

As for the issue of Zhongjing’s new accessories you mentioned, I can explain why I have to take them abroad for testing. It is because the products I produce are tested by myself. Do you think this is scientific?It's like your husband has worked hard to cook a table of dishes and asked you if it tastes good?Will you tear it down?Sweet, salty, don't you have to say it's delicious!I have no other intentions. In line with the attitude of being responsible to consumers, I only spent money on testing. Real gold is not afraid of fire, and good products can't stand the test. I think there is nothing wrong with my approach. What do you think? Woolen cloth? "

The reporter said: "But some people think that you have ulterior motives, and the purpose is not to test the quality of the product at all."

I asked back: "Then what is my purpose? You tell me!"

The reporter was not afraid of my rhetorical question, and said directly: "They think that you are hindering the progress of technology and the pace of new technology development. things come!"

I sneered and said, "If I test a product, it will hinder the progress of science and technology? Isn't this high hat too big? If so, when a new product comes out, everyone will push it to the altar with all the stars That's it, there is no need for any testing at all, but all testing and doubts are all hindering technological progress! Let me tell you another news, our company spends on scientific research and new technology development every year. 70% of the revenue, we will also launch several portable energy-saving home appliances recently, which are also new technologies, and then you will see if we are behind the times?"

Upon hearing this, the reporter hurriedly asked: "You said that Wanzhong will launch a series of new products? When will it be officially launched on the market?"

I smiled and said: "It has already been produced, but it is still in the process of further testing. After the launch, we hope that both inside and outside the industry can come to test together to see if our products can stand up to the test." scrutiny!"

The reporter hummed and said: "Okay, we are very much looking forward to the launch of Wanzhong's new products. The last question is also an off topic. I believe many viewers are very interested. It's a personal question. I hope you don't mind."

I said without changing my face: "You ask!"

The reporter asked: "The public really wants to know, is your relationship with Ms. Du Shiyang, the chairman of Lvshuiyuan, the same as the legend, a pair of golden boy and jade girl?"

I smiled and said: "First of all, I am not a golden boy! Have you ever seen a golden boy in his 30s? Ms. Du Shiyang and I are classmates in business school. She has helped me a lot and is my very good friend. I I already have a fiancée, and I may get married by the end of the year, but I hope you don't pay too much attention, this is my private life!"

The reporter seemed a bit disappointed that she didn't find the information she wanted, but she nodded and said, "That's a pity, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to accept my interview!"

I nodded and said: "It should be, whether it is me or all of us, we all have the attitude of telling others everything! Thank you for your hard work!"

After the interview was over, Lu Yuchen sat in my office with several staff officers, and I asked, "Is there any problem with the interview?"

Lu Yuchen replied with a smile: "A little water will not leak!"

Yun Manni said with a smile: "Boss, you are really eloquent! You can turn dead people into living ones. You shouldn't be in business, you should be a reporter or an actor!"

I smiled and said: "A play is like life, life is like a play, this is life!"
