Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 699 Qingdao Office

When Mr. Zhang and I returned to our seats, Tao Renyan was stretching her neck looking for us.

Seeing us coming back, she squeezed the people in the seats with her fat body and walked towards us with difficulty.

Walking in front of me, I brought my face closer, I frowned, I'm not used to it, it makes me very uncomfortable when people are so close to me.She doesn't even understand the most basic social etiquette!

She didn't seem to notice it at all, and she still asked me with a smile on her face, "Mr. Chen, where did you go just now?"

I pursed my lips and said, "Toilet, what's the problem?"

Tao Renyan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I saw you disappeared, I thought you didn't like this conference! Tonight, there is a dinner party, you must give me the honor to attend it, some leaders in our city want to meet you, I Still quite familiar!"

I shook my head and said, "I'm really sorry. I have something to do tonight. I'm here this time to join in the fun. I don't want too many people to know about it. You know it's sensitive. Next time, next time I will definitely participate!" After finishing speaking, Ignoring her, turned her head away, and said to He Jie who was beside her, "Book a ticket to go back tomorrow?"

He Jie nodded.

Tao Renyan didn't seem to give up, and wanted to persuade me again. I had already stood up, and said to Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, I have something else to do, so I'll go first!"

Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "Then I won't see you off, and I won't be able to leave here for a while!"

Seeing that I was about to leave, Tao Renyan followed me closely, separated Mr. Zhang, and said to me in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, I have something else I want to tell you. If you can't do it at night, in the afternoon, You must find time to come out in the afternoon, let's talk!"

I hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay then, let me stay in the hotel lobby at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

Tao Renyan nodded happily and said, "Okay, okay, three o'clock in the afternoon!"

After getting in the car, I immediately said to He Jie: "Look for someone, and immediately check the financial status of Seagull. I want details, and sales reports for recent years, including their sales in various regions of the country. In addition, ask Now, what's going on inside the Seagull Group, who is Zhang Hai's father-in-law? What's going on with his two daughters?"

He Jie was taken aback, and asked, "His daughter?"

I grunted and said, "This Tao Renyan is Zhang Hai's sister-in-law, and Tao Yuling is Zhang Hai's wife. His old father-in-law helped him to take over the Sea-Gull, which accounted for 40% of the shares in Sea-Gull, and distributed them to his two daughters. It seems that the two sisters seem to be at odds!"

He Jie asked curiously: "Have you met Zhang Hai's wife?"

I hummed and said, "I just saw her backstage. His wife is not an ordinary person. Her temperament... don't talk about it. In short, Tao Renyan and this Tao Renyan are in the same sky and the same underground! Go and check for me first. You will see her in the afternoon." Just Tao Renyan, let's see what she wants to do?"

He Jie hesitated: "She wants to talk to you by name!"

I shook my head and said, "I'm not interested in talking to her, and I have nothing to talk about!"

After lunch, I went to the Qingdao office with Yuan Zhiyuan. I wanted to see the company's annual fees. How does their office work?

Knowing that we were going to the office, Lu Pin was waiting for the two of us at the door of the office early in the morning.

The Qingdao office is in a residential building in a community. When I walked to the door, I found that there was not even a sign. After pushing the door and entering, I saw a few tables in the room. Products and brochures.

The house with three bedrooms and one living room was not small in size, but the ground was full of empty wine bottles and empty cardboard boxes, making it very crowded.

There is a mahjong table in one of the rooms, a boss desk and sofa in the other, and the door of the other is closed.

On a table in the hall, there is a computer, and a little girl is sitting behind the computer, who is on the phone: "You haven't filled out the form, how can I ship it to you? The company is now very strict, and the form must be completed." Do it yourself! You still haven’t given me the monthly reconciliation form, the end of the month is coming soon, and the company has to rush me again, I won’t help you, you can do it yourself!”

Putting down the phone, I saw the three of us standing there, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, why are you here? You're going to be in Qingdao this month for a monthly meeting?"

Lu Pin asked: "Where are you? Don't you usually hold weekly meetings? Isn't it stipulated that weekly meetings should be held every Friday? What about your leaders?"

The little girl hurriedly replied: "Mr. Lu has gone to see a client, so we won't open this week!"

Lu Pin looked at my gloomy face and said hastily, "Call everyone back to me and start a meeting right away!"

I looked at my watch, it was 1:10.

Lu Pin said to me: "Mr. Chen, why don't you just sit inside and wait?"

I shook my head, walked to the little girl's desk, flipped through a pile of reports on her desk, and asked, "What's your name?"

The little girl timidly replied: "Call me Mimi, I am the internal staff of Qingdao Company! Mr. Chen, please sit down first, and I will call them!" After speaking, she picked up the phone and called one by one.

I flipped through the report on her desk and asked, "Are you doing all this by yourself?"

Mimi put down the phone and replied, "Yes!"

I asked again: "Do you belong to the company establishment?"

Mimi didn't understand, so I added: "Will the company pay you five insurances and one housing fund?"

Mimi shook her head and said: "No, I will pay it myself!"

I frowned and asked Lu Pin, "How much do you pay for a month?"

Mimi looked at Lu Pin, who seemed to want to know too, and Mimi replied, "2000 yuan a month!"

Lu Pin confirmed: "2000 yuan? Is there nothing else? Commission rewards or subsidies?"

Mimi hummed and said, "No more! That's all!"

Lu Pin sighed, and didn't dare to speak any more.

I tapped my finger on the table and asked, "How much office expenses and staffing will the company give you to the Qingdao office?"

Lu Pin lowered his head and replied: "Qingdao Office has 14 staff, and the monthly fee is 2."

I asked anxiously: "How many people are currently being recruited by the Qingdao office?"

Lu Pin didn't answer, I looked at Mimi, and Mimi counted with her fingers: "President Lu, Brother Huang, Wang Ning, Sister Qiao, plus Liu Xingyu, there are 5 people in total!"

I snorted and said, "Sure, 14 people are working out, and we're making 5 people. It seems that this office is full of capable people!"

Knowing that this was a big deal, Lu Pin picked up the phone and yelled directly into the phone, "Where have you been?...What client are you seeing?...Go back to the office immediately, everyone! return!"

Not long after, a middle-aged man looked at the door and poked his head in. Seeing us sitting in the living room, he quickly withdrew his head, opened the door and came in, saying hello to Lu Pin: "Mr. Lu, why are you here?" Is it? Does my official brother know? Do you want me to call him now?"

Lu Pin didn't speak, looked at me and Yuan Zhiyuan, the middle-aged man let out a oh, and immediately took out a box of Taishan, the packaging didn't look cheap, he smoked two, handed them to Yuan Zhiyuan and me, smiling Said: "There are guests, who are the two?"

Then, he looked at me carefully again, and then he came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Yuan, I'm a little short-sighted, I can't see clearly!"

I took the cigarette without lighting it, and asked curiously, "This is the first time I've seen Mount Tai, isn't it cheap?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I don't know, someone else gave it to me! Mr. Chen, I'm Huang Qi, and I'm the business manager in charge of our Qingdao Chengyang District."

I hummed and said, "I've seen you, have you been in the company for more than 2 years?"

Huang Qi smiled and said, "It's been almost three years!"

At this time, the door of the room that had been closed was opened. A young man wearing a red sweater and a pair of floral pajamas came out yawning. He saw Huang Qi and nodded. , and said sleepily: "Brother Huang is here, let's have a drink together tonight!"

Lu Pin snorted and said, "Wang Ning, what time is it now? Why are you still sleeping?"

Wang Ning rubbed his eyes, was startled when he saw Lu Pin, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu, I drank too much last night. I drank with Mr. Li from Erbaihuo. This guy can drink..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw Yuan Zhiyuan and I sitting there, almost jumped up, straightened our clothes, lowered our heads and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Yuan!"

Yuan Zhiyuan pointed at Wang Ning and said, "Why do you still have such virtue, kid? You were transferred to Qingdao just to let you sleep?"

Wang Ning said embarrassingly: "Mr. Yuan, I really accompanied the client last night! If you don't believe me, just ask..."

Before he finished speaking, a younger woman came out of the room, wrapped in a thick cotton pajamas, but her thighs were bare underneath, which made people daydream.

As soon as he came out, he saw a group of people and hurried back.

Yuan Zhiyuan snorted and asked, "Is this your client? Even if you open a house, do you want to find a place by yourself? This is the office!"

Wang Ning hurriedly explained: "No, Mr. Yuan, this is Qiao Lin, from our company, we have nothing to do!"

At this time, Qiao Lin got dressed and came out, blushing, and greeted us.

I fiddled with the cigarette in my hand without saying a word. Seeing my gloomy face, Yuan Zhiyuan knew that something was going to happen, and hurriedly shouted: "Lu Pin, hurry up and find me all your people. I want to see you. How does this Qingdao office work? Where is the governor of SD province? Ask him where he is now, and call me over!"

Lu Pin hurriedly said to Wang Ning, "Where is Officer Lu? Call me over!"

Then he picked up the phone and went to the side to make a call.

After the phone call, he said to Yuan Zhiyuan, "Jia Zhiming, the governor of SD Province, is in Yantai. He will come here by high-speed train, one hour!"

Then, everyone just sat like this, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

After an hour and a half, the president of SD Province entered the door. Seeing this posture, he was also taken aback. He greeted me and said, "Mr. Chen!"

I nodded slightly and told him to sit down.

I looked at my watch and asked, "That Lu Guan, can you still come? If you can't come, don't come in the future!"

Wang Ning hastily picked up the phone again: "Brother Guan, I'm just waiting for you, we're all here... ok... ok!"

He put down the phone and said, "We're at the door, come up right away!"

As soon as Lu Guan entered the door and found a room full of people, he knew it was not good, and hurriedly said to me: "Mr. Chen, Qingdao No. 1 Civilian Hospital expansion, bidding in the afternoon, I really can't help it!"

I groaned, but didn't speak.

A young man behind him also came in. Seeing so many people, he stood aside with his head down.

I pointed to the young man and asked, "Did you go to bid with Mr. Lu?"

The young man lowered his head and replied weakly: "Yes!"

I hummed and asked, "When will the result come out? What kind of bid did you bid for? When will the bid be opened?"

The young man squeaked and said: "Technical standard, technical standard, Brother Guan said...not Mr. Lu said..."

I didn't speak any more, and I didn't want to ask any more questions.

Yuan Zhiyuan presided over and said: "Sit down! Mr. Chen and I just happened to come to Qingdao on business and passed by your office. Come and have a look. It's okay if you don't look at it. After seeing it, you are really living comfortably! Mr. Lu, you Let's have a meeting, Mr. Chen and I will listen to your recent work situation!"

With a gloomy face, Lu Pin said to Jia Zhiming, the governor of the province: "You can host it!"

Jia Zhiming hummed and said: "Then let me talk about it first. Our SD province ranked third in East China this year, and the sales volume in the country is now ranked 13th, up one place from last year, but the overall sales volume has declined slightly. Our Qingdao office, as the second largest city in SD province, has the lowest sales volume this year. Part of it is due to objective reasons, but a large part is also due to subjective reasons. Here I want to hear everyone’s opinions and difficulties, how can we solve the problem? Increase the sales volume! Lu Guan, you speak first!"

Lu Guan didn't seem to have much respect for Jia Zhiming, so he said, "Mr. Jia, you may not come to Qingdao very much. Although our Qingdao is at the bottom this year, it has improved a lot compared to last year! When it comes to difficulties, the company's leaders You are all here, so let me just say it straight! This is the headquarters of the Seagull Group, and the price has always been much lower than ours. What are we going to do if we haven’t been approved yet? You have been working in Jinan for a long time, and you don’t know much about our situation here, so I can’t tell you how hard it is!”

Jia Zhiming frowned and said: "Your agent has been unable to pass the audit. Didn't you tell you about this? He granted 30 credits and asked me for 100 million goods. The billing period will be 6 months, and he was in The company already has a record of arrears, how can it be passed?"

Lu Guan snorted and said, "Boss Jia, Boss Lu said that this client can do it. He has a big project in hand and can be accommodated appropriately. Why can't he get through with you?"

Knowing that he had committed a big taboo, Lu Pin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Guard Lu, what are you talking about? I passed because I didn't know that your agent was in arrears. If you have any questions, you can communicate with Mr. Jia." , President Jia told me! Tell me first, let’s talk about other things, and find a way to help you solve this matter after the meeting!”
