Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 632 Two Major Events
I was startled when I heard Lin Wan'er's words, and hurriedly asked: "Who is following your father? What's going on?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, and my dad won't tell. Even my parents are very nervous, and they hired a lot of bodyguards."

I guessed something, and hurriedly said: "Then you just came to look for me alone? Are you not afraid that something will happen to you?"

Lin Wan'er said: "My dad told me to find you. It was agreed in advance that as long as I find you, you will have a way to get rid of the people who follow me and meet him!"

I didn't expect things to be so tense and involve Lin Jiasheng's family.But since Lin Jiasheng knew that his family members would be involved, why did he go to them?

In the evening, I brought Lin Wan'er back home. When the whole family saw that I had brought back a beautiful woman, they all stared at me strangely.I will arrange Lin Wan'er to be with Sister Min first, and then I will explain to everyone.

Seeing the whole family staring at me like a prisoner, Katsuo spoke before I could explain.

Katsuo saw my embarrassment, so he said first: "Everyone, don't be so nervous, if Ah Fei does something wrong, he won't bring him home, will he?"

Yaoyang picked his nostrils and said, "That's not necessarily true, maybe they came here for you?"

I rolled my eyes at Yaoyang and said: "You are quite experienced? Is this someone who came to your door?"

One sentence choked Yaoyang so much that he dared not speak.He also knew that he had a ghost in his heart, and he was afraid that I would speak out directly if I got angry.

My mother was also a little worried and said, "Xiao Fei, you're babysitting again, aren't you? This is not small, no worse than Xiaoxue, Xiaohao's, it's hard to manage!"

I smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, don't you think who she looks like?"

The whole family was startled, and then stared at me for a long time before Katsuo said slowly, "It's not like you!"

My mother also shook her head and said, "No, Xiao Fei wasn't like that when he was a child!"

My dad glared at my mom and said, "How old is this kid? How could it be his? Can he give birth? Guess what!"

Yao Yang patted his forehead and said: "Ah, what I said, I always think she looks like someone, Lin Jiasheng! Isn't it?"

I nodded and said, "That's right! This is the precious daughter of the Lin family. She asked me to help. She will only stay for a few days. I have made arrangements to go north with her!"

Katsuo hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? Is there something wrong?"

I hurriedly denied: "It's okay, it's okay, I just went to see Lin Jiasheng, you know, Lin Jiasheng is now like this, I am more or less responsible, I can't ignore his affairs, I have been friends for many years, I just went to persuade him he."

My mother looked at Yaoyang, Yaoyang immediately reacted and said: "Don't worry, Mom, I'll go with him, I'm here, nothing happened!"

My mother smiled reassuringly.

It was time for dinner, Wan'er and Sister Min came together, Wan'er was leading Yaoyang's son, but it seemed that his son was not very willing to be led by her.

Sister Min also looked embarrassed. This little guy is most afraid of me and also likes me the most. When he saw me, he immediately broke away from Wan'er's hand and asked me to hug him.

I picked him up, nodded his nose and said, "How old are you, do you want to be hugged all day? Are you ashamed?"

The little guy ignored my words and rubbed his face against mine.

I thought he was close to me, so I kissed him, but he still rubbed against my face.

Only then did I feel his face was hot. When I looked carefully, only one side of his face was red, so I asked Sister Min strangely: "What's wrong with the child? Is it hot? Why is his face so hot?"

Sister Min didn't speak, but just glanced at Wan'er inadvertently, and Wan'er said in a low voice embarrassedly: "I think this little guy is so cute, so I pinched his face, who knows that my attack was not serious, that's all... ..."

I glared at her and said, "Children's faces are the most tender, and they can't be touched with hands. Their skin is very sensitive. Don't do this in the future!"

Yaoyang said carelessly: "A boy, why is he so delicate? You should be happy to have a beautiful sister touch you! Why do you think you are not like your father and me?"

Sister Min rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's right! You are as thick-skinned as you, so it's okay to pinch you. It must be that girls have been touching you since you were young!"

Yaoyang said embarrassingly: "You are so boring! Why are you saying this in front of the children?"

My mother hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing standing there? Go over to eat, the child will give it to me, and I will put some aloe vera cream on him and he will be fine!"

Then he looked at Wan'er and asked, "What's your name?"

Wan'er replied obediently: "Grandma, my name is Lin Wan'er!"

My mother murmured, and Er'er's voice became more serious: "Wan'er? Ping'er? Why do children like to be called this kind of name now? Bottles and jars!"

I pulled my mother and said, "Go and give medicine to the child. This is Wan next to the word for female, which means beautiful and gentle."

My mother oh oh twice, took the child to the medicine.

It used to be forbidden to speak at the dinner table at my house, but since Yaoyang came into our house, not only did he break the rules, but he also brought my father and Mr. Sun into trouble.

As soon as the table was served, my dad talked to me about national affairs.

My dad asked me: "I heard that the country encourages online shopping and creates electronic platforms. Is it true that we can buy things online in the future?"

I hummed and said: "I heard that. In fact, this e-commerce has been done for many years, but it is all transactions between enterprises. Civilian use has not yet been popularized. Most of them are connections between enterprises. Our company is also preparing I think it is still possible to set up an online business department, as now our company’s spare parts are all found on Alibaba. It is very convenient.”

My dad let out a sigh and said: "Actually, as early as decades ago, we imagined that people in the future would be able to shop online and have everything delivered to their door with a phone call at home. At that time, no one would believe it." .At that time, our thinking was, if that is the case, what kind of laziness would this person have to be?"

Yaoyang smiled and said: "That's great! Actually, it's almost the same now, as long as I have money, I can call someone to send me whatever I want!"

I smiled and said, "Which is where? Why is it so simple as you said? This is a shopping trend, a change in people's shopping methods and shopping habits in the future. It is convenient, fast, and guaranteed. It turned out to be just an idea. Now it is almost a reality. I met the director of Alibaba, he is a very thoughtful person, he is the one who turns people's ideas into reality!"

My dad nodded and said, "I know who you're talking about. I've heard of him when I was at Electronics Bureau. I admired him very much then!"

Yaoyang grinned and said, "Dad, do you admire him? This is a bit exaggerated, now he is the only one who appreciates people!"

I glared at Yaoyang and said, "You don't know who our dad was before? It's his honor to be able to let our dad admire him!"

We were talking casually, and I accidentally glanced at Wan'er, and found that she was listening intently, as if she didn't seem to miss any word we were talking about.

I asked curiously, "Wan'er, are you interested in these too?"

Lin Wan'er immediately turned into an ignorant face and said, "How do I know this, I'm just curious, just listen to it!"

At this moment, Yaoyang glanced at me, as if he had noticed something, he changed the subject and said, "Wan'er, how is your dad? How many times can you meet your dad in a year?"

Wan'er replied straightforwardly: "I only saw each other once in a few years. Before that, he didn't care much about me and my mother. When I was young, he just gave me money, and he didn't care about the rest. I was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Now I know what his name is."

Yaoyang sighed and said: "He is also a poor child. You say that children from rich families are like this, and they are not very happy!"

I observed Wan'er, and I didn't see a trace of sadness in her eyes. It seemed that it was normal to say these things, which really surprised me.

When I went to work in the morning, Lin Wan'er insisted on following me, saying that she would learn something from me.I refused to agree, because it was really inconvenient. If a beauty like her was by my side, what would people in the company say?

Shengnan is on vacation today, just woke up, came out to pour a glass of water, saw Wan'er and I talking, so he asked.

Originally, there was a little distance between Wan'er and I, but for some reason, as soon as she saw Sheng Nan, Wan'er immediately approached, took my arm, looked very intimate, and began to act like a baby with me: "Uncle Chen, just let me go!"

I saw Sheng Nan frowned, pulled out his arm hastily, and said, "I really don't have time today, why don't you ask Sheng Nan to go shopping with you!?"

Katsuo said reluctantly: "I want to catch up on sleep, let's talk about it when I wake up!" After speaking, he pushed open the door and walked back.

I had no choice but to take Wan'er to the company, let her sit outside the office, and talk to An An about what she wanted to learn. I definitely don't have time to talk to her.

I'm really busy, and two things keep me busy.

One thing is that our new product, a portable household appliance, is ready for sale. This new product is mainly aimed at people who often move, rent a house, and work at home, and small office units. It is easy to carry and carry. Not high, low power consumption, and the price is very reasonable.We wanted to create a stylish home appliance, so we put a lot of effort into the appearance and added a lot of fashion elements. We also planned to invite an actor and singer who is very popular among young people to be the endorsement.

Another big event is that our supplier conference is about to be held. The supplier conference and the agent conference are equally important to us. The price of raw materials directly determines the competitive price advantage of our products. In the supplier conference in previous years, many manufacturers came to participate. But most of them are in soy sauce, so just quote a price, it’s the best if you can be selected, if you can’t be selected, come join in the fun and inquire about the prices of competitors.This year is different. The incident of new accessories has allowed us to defeat Zhongjing and Yingke. Manufacturers have fewer choices. Naturally, we must find ways to enter our popular procurement platform.

Originally, there were only 3 or 4 alternative suppliers for a material, but this year there are more than 20 applicants, and manufacturers of all sizes come to participate in the competition.In addition, some foreign manufacturers also participated.Usually, foreign manufacturers are not willing to come to our company to participate, the reason is very simple, our conditions are very harsh, not to mention the quality, the most important thing is that the payment cycle is too long, and some materials have to be paid once a year To settle the payment, a large amount of funds must be placed on our company, and the price cannot be too high. The only advantage is the large quantity.

The person in charge of purchasing is a distant relative of Dong Zong, named: Fu Yisheng, who is also one of the directors of the company. He is very low-key, so many suppliers don't know until now, but he is the one who really makes the decision.

I don't know him well, and I'm going to say that we don't get in touch a few times a year.

The so-called employing people is not suspicious, and suspects are not used. I seldom ask questions about procurement, and never intervene.When Mr. Dong left, he told me specifically that there is no need to worry about purchasing, this Fu Yisheng is trustworthy.

In fact, in terms of procurement, all private enterprises are the same and can reach a consensus. As long as they don’t make it too obvious and damage the company’s interests, they don’t care too much about small favors and red envelopes.

I have also received complaints from some suppliers, saying that some people in the procurement department received kickbacks, and some manufacturers obtained our supply qualifications by improper means. There is no problem with the quality, and the delivery period is normal. As for the price, if it is higher or lower, as long as there is not too much difference, I think it is harmless.I used to be in sales myself, so of course I understand the twists and turns. The money and gifts I sent through my hands are enough to judge.

This is also a national condition, which is common to every country, and it is also human nature, so I think it is not a big problem.

In this supplier meeting, many manufacturers paid more attention than before. Fu Yisheng was finally dug out, and people who wanted to make friends came to him in an endless stream.

The boss of AH Tongling Copper Factory, our largest supplier of raw materials and copper manufacturer, is here, which shows how much he attaches importance to our supplier conference.

When he comes, of course I want to see him, and he must be received grandly.

Fu Yisheng found me one day in advance. When he came to my office, he didn't show too much politeness, so he said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Cao from Tongling, come to Zhuhai tomorrow, what do you think we should arrange?"

I handed him a cigarette and asked, "How was it arranged before?"

Fu Yisheng replied in embarrassment: "He came here once before. When signing the contract, President Dong received him, and he never came again after that."

I hummed and said: "Then let me meet him this time, arrange to go to the resort, ask how many people are in the group, flight time, when will you arrive, if it is noon, you can arrange it, and I will arrange it in the evening, if you arrive in the evening, Just take it back to the hotel."

Fu Yisheng replied directly: "I've asked them all. There are 8 people in the group, Mr. Cao, plus three vice presidents, one assistant, and three technicians. We will arrive at noon tomorrow."

I nodded and said, "Okay, then you have to work hard and go pick them up. I will arrange it tomorrow night!"
