Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 706 Home Appliance Seminar

I changed into the clothes Lu Yuchen bought, a pair of khaki trousers, which fit just right, and a white shirt without any trademark on the upper body. The texture of this shirt is indeed very good, and most importantly, it fits very well.There is also a pair of milky white leather shoes that fit well, even the socks are matched by me.

When I walked out of the room, the two women looked at me and didn't speak for a long time.

I hurriedly asked, "Is it that scary?"

Lu Yuchen reacted and said: "A man depends on his clothes, but you depend on his saddle! Let's get your hair done again, and it will be perfect!"

There is a hair salon in the hotel, and a man with shawl hair is fiddling with my hair with his hands, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Yuchen said professionally: "First help him thin it out, and then according to his hair quality, you can see which hairstyle is more suitable for him. The best one is capable and streamlined!"

The shawl hair nodded and said: "His hair is very hard, I suggest perming it first, and after it is soft, leave a little bangs and style it, it will be no problem!"

I strongly objected: "What kind of haircut does a big man have? I'm not Yu Qian. I don't want to be ironed. I don't want to be ironed! You can cut me an inch!"

The shawl hair said with a smile: "Boss, your head shape is not suitable for cutting board size. That hairstyle is only suitable for people with rounder heads! Your head shape is pointy, so it looks better if you cover your forehead, and it also looks younger!" "

I said dissatisfied: "Do I need to show off? I am not old at all!"

Shawl hair hurriedly said with a smile: "Not old, not old, you are not old at all! It seems that you seldom take care of your hair, right? You don't usually have a regular hair stylist, do you?"

I replied a little impatiently: "No, it doesn't lose hair, and it doesn't turn yellow. What's the point of taking care of it? Can you cut it? I'm in a hurry!"

Shawl hair was not angry, but said: "Start right away, you go wash your hair first!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for my consent, I called a little girl, led me to the back, let me lie down, and started to play with my hair. Not to mention, she rubbed my hair, which was really comfortable !It took half an hour before I realized and asked, "Can I cut it?"

The little girl replied: "I can do it a long time ago, I am waiting for your order!"

Only then did I realize that she was waiting for me to say yes before she stopped!
Immediately afterwards, the shawl hair started to help me curl my hair, and I refused: "Didn't you say that I don't have a perm?"

Shawl smiled and said: "Your wife said, listen to her today! Don't worry, it must look good!"

I looked at Lu Yuchen, and Lu Yuchen made a "shh" gesture to tell me to shut up.

After nearly an hour of perm, when Shawl Hair picked up the perm cover and unrolled it for me, I almost cried.

The big waves on my forehead made me 20 centimeters taller, and what was even more frightening was that it looked like a chicken coop on top of my head!
I yelled angrily: "What the hell is this? Make a chicken coop to dry the hair on my head? How can I see people?"

The shawl hair explained: "It's not finished yet, why are you in a hurry! Boss, please be patient, we won't smash our own signboard!"

I said fiercely: "If you don't do it well, the store will be destroyed by you!"

Then I saw that the shawl hair "swipe...swipe...swipe" began to dance his scissors.

After a while, I saw that my hair was almost shaved.

I hastily shouted, "I'm not here to cut my head bald!"

The shawl hair was indifferent to my words, and I kept cutting it.

After he finished cutting, I saw that he was indeed much more energetic!It’s just the hair on my forehead, a few strands have been dangling in front of my eyes, I looked at my eyes, and said with the shawl hair: “Master, can you cut the front few strands for me, to block my eyes!”

The shawl hair said very politely: "Boss, this is left on purpose, otherwise it will appear that your hairline has moved forward!"

After putting on the hairspray, a brand new me appeared, but it was different. The [-]-[-] hairstyle was gone, replaced by a spiritual and qualitative curly hair.

After the perm, I really can't see those big waves. In short, the whole person looks a lot more energetic.

To be honest, usually the hair that has just been cut is not pleasing to the eye, especially if the hairstyle is changed, but after the shawl hair is cut, not only I am very satisfied, Lu Yuchen and Ai Wen also praised it, I feel like I have changed humanlike.

I glanced at the badge on the shawl and said, "Thank you, Mr. Kevin!"

Cape Hair smiled and said: "It should be, customer satisfaction is our greatest reward!"

I was in a happy mood at first, but when I saw the bill, my mood became unhappy again, and I asked in a low voice: "Mr. Kevin, you charge me 1000 yuan for a haircut? Is it too dark?"

Shawl Hair explained unhurriedly: "Our company is all membership-based. You have a hair perm. The normal price is 580, and the membership price is 500. In addition, you have used 4 SK potions, and one is 80 yuan. It's already 820, plus my haircut, I usually charge 150, members charge you 120!"

I did the math and said, "Then there are 60 left?"

The shawl hair replied: "60 is before you washed your hair and massaged!" After finishing speaking, he took out a golden card and said, "This is your membership card. Next time I come, I will give you a 1000% discount. If If you don’t become a member, it’s more than [-] yuan!”

I had no choice but to accept my fate and took out the money, and the shawl shook my head and said, "Your wife has already paid for it for you!"

I looked at Lu Yuchen and walked out of the barbershop.

When I got out of the door, I shouted: "We have entered a black shop, why did you pay so early, and I am going to sue him!"

Lu Yuchen rolled my eyes at me and said, "What are you complaining about? The price is clearly marked. Why didn't you read the price list when you entered? Are you satisfied first?"

I looked at the window, took another photo, nodded and said, "It's a good cut, but it's really too expensive, enough for me to cut it 10 times! Have you issued an invoice?"

Lu Yuchen glared at me and said, "How do you invoice for a haircut? I've never heard of it! Can you stop being so stingy? Isn't it only 1000 yuan? You can afford it if you cut it 10 times a month!" Why are you pretending to be poor? I won’t borrow money from you!”

I pursed my lips and said, "Our family's money is not mine! The 1000 yuan is owed first! When do you have money, when will you pay it back!"

Lu Yuchen sighed and said, "Look, I cut it off for you, so I'll ask you to cut it off!"

I smiled and said, "Say it earlier, I see there are some negative ions in there, I should try it!"

The next morning, I walked out with my neck twisted. Lu Yuchen saw me and asked, "Are you in a stiff neck? How can you see people with your neck twisted?"

I groaned and said, "I was afraid of messing up my hairstyle, so I didn't dare stick my head to the pillow, so it's no wonder I don't have a stiff neck!"

Lu Yuchen said with a smile: "If it's messed up, just sort it out again!"

I shook my head and said, "Mr. Kevin, why don't you ask for money? I'm not going!"

After breakfast, the seminar on the home appliance industry began.

Entering the auditorium, I saw many familiar figures, and saw the Yingke brand opposite me, but I didn't see He Dong, but an acquaintance, Dongfang Miracle, who nodded slightly to me.

I nodded in response.

Lu Yuchen whispered behind me: "He is now the general manager of Yingke, and he just took office a few days ago!"

I groaned, but didn't speak.

Lu Ping also came and sat next to me. The company sign in front of her was still Lotte.

In recent years, Lotte has indeed made significant progress. The product quality has improved a lot, and the management system is basically the same as Wanzhong. Although the market share is not high, it has also made a breakthrough.I have to say, she is still a bit capable.

Seeing me look over to her, she smiled politely at me, then turned her head to talk to the person next to her.

Waiting for the arrival of the leaders, a person patted me on the shoulder behind me, turned around and saw Zhang Hai, who saw the seagull, smiling at me, and He Kailin followed behind him, also greeting me.

I hurriedly stood up and said enthusiastically: "When will Mr. Zhang arrive? Why didn't you talk to me?"

Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "I just arrived this morning and I'm busy at home. As soon as I saw you, I came over to say hello to you!"

At this time, a group of people pushed the door and walked in.

Mr. Zhang said in a low voice: "Let's talk again after the meeting is over!" After speaking, he sat down in his seat.

The leading leader, with white hair and hale and hearty spirit, sat in the middle. I know this old man. I met him once when the Ministry of Industry was in a meeting. He was at the same level as Sun Shengguo at that time. level leadership.Sitting on the left is a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance. He must have been a handsome guy when he was young. I don't know him. He must be a newcomer.There is a middle-aged woman on the right, I also know, old acquaintance, Director Huang, my old client of the Ministry of Railways.

The middle-aged man on the left cleared his throat and said: "Everyone be quiet, let me introduce myself first. I am Bai Xiaosheng, the editor-in-chief of our China Brand Collection. I am the main person in charge of the organizing unit of this conference. Today I mainly focus on the home appliance industry. Today, we specially invited Mr. Wu to help us sit in the symposium. Mr. Wu believes that most of you here know each other, right? The former Ministry of Industry... is now the director of the China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute, the chairman of the Quality Supervision Committee... ..."

applause.

Bai Xiaosheng continued to introduce: "The person opposite me is Huang Gong, the former chief engineer of the Ministry of Railways, and now the director of the National Economic Management Research Office!"

Then I introduced a few more people, and then said: "I also saw that the bosses of many domestic first-tier brands took time out of their busy schedules to participate in this grand event. Thank you for your participation and support!"

After that, he introduced: "Mr. Chen from Wanzhong, Mr. Dongfang from Yingke, Mr. Zhang from Seagull, Mr. Li from Huaxia, Mr. Lu from Lotte..."

The people whose names were called all stood up slightly and waved their hands.

Bai Xiaosheng went on to say: "Next, let's invite Mr. Wu to talk to us, and pass on some instructions from above."

Mr. Wu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Let me make a long story short. The main purpose of this meeting is only one. Our home appliance industry must have a core force. We must twist it into one rope and one heart to serve the common people. Supply good products locally. Over the past few years, our self-owned brands have absolutely occupied the domestic sales market, which shows that our self-owned brands already have the strength to compete with foreign brands. This is very good, but I have also seen Some issues worthy of our concern: Is it beneficial for the development of domestic independent brands if a single company dominates? Where is the competitiveness of the enterprise? Is it price, cost, or quality?

Therefore, I hope that with the help of this seminar, everyone can actively discuss and speak freely for the prospects and future development of China's home appliance industry, and set a tone, so that everyone can implement and abide by it uniformly.Of course, this only represents my personal opinion, there are no hard and fast rules, you don't have to be too cramped, you can express your own suggestions and opinions at will! "

Bai Xiaocheng took the lead in clapping, and everyone clapped their hands sparingly, because everyone didn't understand why they clapped their hands?

Then Huang Gong spoke: "Hello everyone, I am a technical engineer. I am also very curious to invite me this time. What can I bring to you? Let me just talk about my understanding of the situation of our domestic brands in the consumer market. Well, some of my personal short-sightedness, just for reference.

Today's domestic home appliance market is mainly divided into several categories. The traditional classification is based on functions, such as refrigeration, cleaning, imaging, kitchen appliances, etc. In terms of refrigeration, our domestic independent brands can be said to have a dominant advantage. Half of the country is our own, and a small part of the market is occupied by foreign brands.But in the other areas, we have no advantage at all. It is either a joint venture brand or a foreign brand. This requires the collective efforts of everyone here to think about it. Where is the problem?Another classification is now divided into white home appliances, black home appliances, beige home appliances, and green home appliances.White home appliances are mainly home appliances that meet people's living needs and improve people's quality of life. Black home appliances are mostly entertainment home appliances that satisfy people's spiritual life. Beige refers to computers and the like. I want to focus on green home appliances, which are mainly used for Efficient use and energy-saving products, green home appliances do not cause harm to the human body and the surrounding environment during use, and home appliances that can be recycled after being scrapped. "

Huang Gong paused, and continued: "You may be unfamiliar with green home appliances. This green home appliance does not refer to a specific type of home appliance, but any home appliance that meets the standards is a green home appliance. I believe that most of the manufacturers here , the enterprise has never been involved, or even contacted! This is the problem. In foreign countries, there are already many manufacturers in research and development and production, and we are lagging behind. I believe that in the near future, this indicator of green home appliances , will spread all over the world, and our imported home appliances will be zero by then! In the future, energy is an unavoidable problem, which is closely related to human beings. Only by solving energy problems can human beings survive, and environmental protection will become eternal. topic of!"
