Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 917 Meeting with the bosses

The Seagull Group is currently divided into three factions. Before Yun Manni had absolute control, the young faction was more obedient to her management; After gradually gaining power, this group of people became closer to Yun Manni, but there are still some old and stubborn; the last group is the neutral faction, this group of people is actually the most difficult to deal with, they have no position, as long as they make money, they can do anything, that is, this group People like to sabotage the most, for the sake of money, to harm the interests of the company, regardless of whether the company lives or dies.

After Yun Manni finished talking about the current situation, she looked at me, and I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Yun Manni said dissatisfiedly: "Of course I want you to find a way to unify them and work for me!"

I scratched my head and said, "What can I do? How can I, an outsider, resolve the conflicts accumulated over decades?"

Yun Manni said arrogantly: "I don't care, anyway, you have to help me find a way!"

I cut it and said: "Then you are unreasonable! Why are you still relying on me!"

Xiao Hai smiled and said, "Brother Fei, if you can help, please help Manni!"

I glared at Xiaohai and said, "You are everywhere!" After thinking for a while, I said, "Actually, the contradictions in your company are not deep anymore. As long as Tao Renyan doesn't interfere with you, you have the power in your hands, so just do something drastic." Whoever refuses to obey will be destroyed!"

Yun Manni shook her head and said, "How dare I? I seem to be in control, but in fact, there are still many crises. It's not that Tao Renyan doesn't want to take it back to the company. On the one hand, it's because of the pressure from her sister and brother-in-law. She doesn't dare, and the other is that her old man has been suppressing her, and she doesn't have that ability. But think about it, if she can win over the neutral part of the people, plus her previous team, I, an outsider, will definitely Out!"

I pursed my lips and said: "You underestimate yourself too much. With your current ability, others will not be able to invite you if they want to, and they dare to drive you away! Do you think I can be driven out of the crowd? Just hang it?"

Yun Manni nodded embarrassedly.

I chuckled and said, "Can it be the same? I left Wanzhong, one is that I want to go, and the other is that Dong Zong wants me to go! Wanzhong has lost me, and Dong Zong is still in charge, but think about it. Who else in Seagull can take the lead? Tao Renyan? If she can succeed, she will soon take over your position. Do you think that her sister and brother-in-law would rather find you, an outsider, to manage her business than her own sister? It's not her! I think you think too much, don't underestimate your ability, and don't underestimate the vision of Mr. Zhang and his wife!"

Yun Manni hummed and said, "Thank you, Master!"

I pursed my lips and said, "Don't! Don't! I'm not your master, I'm just an apprentice, and I'm not doing well now!"

Yun Manni said sincerely: "At any time, I will actually recognize you as a master, even when you drove me out of the crowd! At that time, I hated you, and I hated He Jie too! But I will think about it later. , I know you are doing it for my own good, otherwise, I might have gone astray long ago, and I still have to be honest, to be worthy of my parents, and to be worthy of my parents." After speaking, he did not forget to look at Lu Ping.

Lu Ping blushed and said, "I've changed my ways a long time ago! However, I agree with your words!"

I smiled and said, "Are you reconciled? It doesn't look like a class conflict!"

The two glared at me at the same time and said, "Shut up!"

We arrived one day earlier, and the official factory celebration was the next day, so only Yun Manni and us had dinner alone at night.

When I was eating, I asked Yun Manni: "Don't you need to accompany other guests? We don't care, we are all on our own!"

Yun Manni smiled and said: "The leaders in the city and the province don't need me to receive them. Our company has a special department for contacting the government. The Commerce Department is responsible for receiving major manufacturers in the same industry, the Sales Department is responsible for receiving agents and customers, and the Purchasing Department is responsible for supplying goods. Merchandisers, there are very few people who want me to come forward to receive them, and there are only a few heavyweights left, and they will arrive early tomorrow morning, so you can go pick them up with me then!"

I groaned and said, "I'm not your company's publicist, what am I going to do?"

Yun Manni cut her head and said, "I want you to be a male publicist! As far as you are concerned, I think it's better to forget it! The main reason is that there are a few big bosses who want to see you!"

I wondered: "See me? What do I want to see? I'm a vagrant now!"

Yun Manni smiled and said: "It is because you are a vagrant that they want to talk to you! Go to see you specially, and they can't let it go, so tell you to meet them, and they think it is too high-profile, so borrow On my occasion, meeting and talking with you alone is not easy to attract people's attention, do you think it is the best opportunity?"

I sighed and said: "Those big brothers, I can't be offended! Companion to a king is like a companion to a tiger, I'd better start a small business by myself! Think about it, my bosses, who can tolerate it?" A person like me? Mr. Dong’s temper and character are good enough, right? What happened in the end? Didn’t you say kick me away and kick me away, and when I’m still useful, if I’m useless, Maybe what will happen to me? I have long since looked down on it, and I don’t want any earth-shattering events anymore, so I just start my own small business, which is pretty good!”

Yun Manni looked at me a little disappointed and said: "You are still so young, why don't you have a fighting heart? Wanzhong seems to be a huge company, but in terms of the whole country, it is the leader in the industry, and in terms of the entire business world, The stage is still too small, it's really not enough for you to perform! Since you have this ability, why don't you go up and go up!"

I took a deep breath, and said earnestly: "There is a chance, I really don't want anyone to give it to me! A few days ago, someone extended an olive branch to me and asked me to go into an official career. Wei Hua also planned to give me 35 % of the shares, I will take care of all the overseas business! These are all illusory fantasies, which are unreal!"

Lu Ping interjected: "I think it makes sense. As the saying goes, it's better to have what you have than to have what you have. What you give is what others give, and it's better to fight for it yourself!"

I curled my lips and said, "Are you saying that?"

Lu Ping smiled and said: "You don't care about me! I mean, you see, I'm not very good now. My own business, I have the final say! I sell it if I want to, and run it well if I don't want to sell it! No one cares. No me! Freedom!"

Yun Manni cut her head and said, "But don't you want a higher stage? If you don't climb to the top of the cloud, you will never know what is there and what it is like?"

I laughed and said, "This is what I told you!"

Early the next morning, I was forced to go to the airport to pick up people with Yun Manni. The first person I picked up was the executive director of the Telecom Group. I don’t know why Yun Manni has such a relationship. I can invite such a big person , followed by the boss of one of the two oil companies. When they saw me, they both seemed to know me and seemed very familiar with me.After shaking hands with Yun Manni first, she greeted me kindly and courteously, which made me very flattered. I knew that I only met them once at the industrial conference.

I got a little impatient after seeing off two people. Yun Manni insisted on waiting for another 2 hours, saying that the plane was late and had to pick up another person. I felt that I was redundant and there was no need to be here with her. It was time-consuming, so she was about to leave, but she refused to say anything, and insisted that I wait here no matter what, saying that the person asked to see me by name.

I said disdainfully: "Although those two were big bosses just now, they didn't say they would definitely meet me, did they? They were just being polite to me, polite! They didn't take me seriously at all!"

Yun Manni persuaded patiently: "Just wait a little longer, you're fine anyway! Maybe it's an opportunity!"

I asked curiously: "Opportunity? What opportunity? Wait for the bosses to reward me with a meal? No need?"

Yun Manni explained: "It's an opportunity to cooperate! As long as you can get a little relationship with these big guys, you don't have to do it yourself, you can make money!"

I smiled and said, "I know what you mean, the power of capital, right?"

Yun Manni nodded and said, "Yes! Have you heard the story of 100 million pounds?"

I shook my head.

Yun Manni continued: "This is a true story. It is said that there was a bankrupt small business owner who lived on the street and couldn't even afford dinner. He was spotted by two billionaires and gave him a check for 100 million pounds. , Ask him to spend all the money within a month, and then give him 100 million pounds! The down-and-out small entrepreneur thought it was a joke at first, and the two billionaires were teasing him, until he got the 100 million check, Only then was it confirmed that this was true.

After holding a check for 100 million, the first thing he did was to eat a good meal. He came to the most expensive restaurant, ordered a sumptuous dinner, and when he was waiting for the bill, he took out a check for 100 million. , After the waiter saw it, he didn't dare to pick it up at all. He called the manager, who also didn't dare to neglect, and then called the owner of the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant saw that he was a millionaire who came to eat in their restaurant, and immediately told the small entrepreneur This meal is free, and he also promised him that if he came to eat in their restaurant in the future, he would be able to sign the bill!
Similarly, this lucky guy went to the clothing store, and when he took out a check of 100 million to pay, he was also free of charge and became a VIP directly. He also planned to help him send his clothes home. He introduced a hotel apartment to me, and told the manager of the hotel apartment that this is a big customer with a net worth of 100 million. The manager of the hotel apartment immediately gave him the biggest discount, and he will not settle the bill until the end of the year.

After that, it passed from person to person. Everyone knows that there is a millionaire living in this hotel. People fawning on him are endless, and some even ask him to be the spokesperson and cut the ribbon for the project.You know, every move of a rich man will be watched by others, and his words and deeds are all predictions that the next millionaire will be born every minute.Soon, not only did he not spend his 100 million, but he continued to earn money. "

I hummed and said: "I understand what you mean. In this society, money can make money. The richer you are, the easier it is to make money. Who wouldn't want to cooperate with a billionaire, even if it's to stick with him?" A little side is fine! If the outside world knows that I have such a close relationship with these bigwigs, I believe the bank will give me some face, and if I start a company, maybe I don’t have much face, but they will give you The face of the big bosses around me. This is how one person attains the Tao, and the dog ascends to heaven!"

As we were talking, the flight from Suzhou landed. This big guy didn't come here on a private jet like the two just now, but took an ordinary civil airliner, just coming out of the VIP port.

As soon as we met, before I came over, he strode over, shook hands with me enthusiastically and said, "Mr. Chen, why did you come here in person?"

I held his hand in both hands, and said with a smile, "It's the dream of many people to be able to take over Mr. Ma's job. I must be wishing for it! You came here alone?"

Mr. Ma said with a smile: "I'm not a celebrity, why do I need so many people around me? Besides, I'm here to support Mr. Yun, and I don't have any business trips!"

I looked at Yun Manni and thought to myself, since when did President Ma give her face like this?

Yun Manni hurriedly accepted the words, and said, "Mr. Ma, we will always keep in mind the help we have provided to Seagull over the years!"

Mr. Ma nodded slightly and said, "Mutual benefit!"

Mr. Ma held my hand and never let go. I suspected for a while that there was something wrong with the way he looked at me.

After getting into the car, Mr. Ma let go of my hand and said to Yun Manni, "Mr. Yun, can you find a place where no one will disturb you? I want to talk to Mr. Chen!"

Yun Manni said hastily, "We'll be there soon. I've arranged for you a private hotel of our company. There's been no one living there, and there are very few cars."

When we arrived at the place, the car drove directly into the villa area. After entering the big red-painted iron gate, we walked through a forest and saw a single-family villa. Mr. Ma frowned and said, "Mr. Yun, don't spend so much money!"

Yun Manni smiled and said, "This is our own villa. Mr. Tao has ordered you to live here when you come. You won't be disturbed, and it's convenient for you to work."

After entering the villa, there was only a man who looked like a butler standing at the door and led us into the hall. Mr. Ma looked at Yun Manni.

Yun Manni said understandingly: "Take Mr. Ma to the small study upstairs, and don't disturb them unless I tell you to!"

After finishing speaking, he frowned at me, and I followed Mr. Ma to the small study.

Mr. Ma sat next to me, not across from me.

Then he took out a pack of cigarettes, handed me one and said, "Try this cigarette, someone gave it to me!"

I took the cigarette and looked at it for a long time. There was no trademark on it, and there was no filter tip, and then I planned to light it for Mr. Ma first.

But he put the cigarette on the coffee table and said, "I quit smoking a long time ago!"

I originally picked up the lighter, but put it down again, not knowing whether to light it or not.

Mr. Ma said with a smile: "You smoke yours. I'm not afraid of second-hand smoke. I just don't smoke myself. It won't delay your smoking. It's okay!"
