Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 978 Project Inspection
At Pudong Airport, Tian Xinrui brought a whole tour group of 12 people. After listening to her introduction one by one, I didn't understand any of them. What do they do?I also greeted each of them politely, knowing that one of them might be the department-level or ministerial-level leader!
When I got on the plane, I booked first class, Tian Xinrui sat next to me and said excitedly: "This time it will definitely work, these leaders, it's rare for me to get together, after watching the project, with a swipe of a pen, I This project is done! When the time comes, you can just sit at home and collect the money!"

I beat her up and said: "Everyone is a leader, whoever you do not serve well will offend others, as long as there is one who is not happy, it can kill you! In this case, you have to break through one by one! The rain and dew are evenly covered. , only the emperor can do it, you must not! You are too impatient!"

Tian Xinrui thought it made sense, and asked worriedly: "Then what should we do now?"

I sighed and said, "A dead horse should be a living horse doctor! Actually, isn't the main purpose of your investigation to convince me? What's the use of inviting so many leaders?"

Tian Xinrui glared at me and said: "Didn't you say that you want to see hope and see the substantial progress of the approval procedures? I invited you here, and now you say that it is useless to invite so many people!"

I shook my head and said, "I can only say that you have enough sincerity! It's a pity that the method is wrong, let's take a step at a time!"

When we got off the plane, someone was already waiting for us outside the door, and two Coster minibuses drove out of the airport directly.

We didn't rush straight to Pengshan without stopping, but stayed in Huanglongxi, an ancient town between Chengdu and Pengshan. Set off.

This excuse is very far-fetched. The plane from Shanghai to Chengdu is only more than 2 hours.No matter how poor the health of the leaders is, they will not have to sit on a plane for 2 hours, and they will only need news for a day.

Sure enough, a leader came out to speak soon, hoping to inspect the scene as soon as possible without rest.

If a leader is so high-spirited and honest, the other leaders must not be able to rest, so they have to go along with them.

Tian Xinrui winked at me anxiously, but I pretended I didn't see it and rolled my eyes.

Later, Tian Xinrui was persuaded by a leader, the hotel was booked, it was closer to the inspection project, and the destination could be reached in 20 minutes tomorrow morning, don’t let down the host’s good intentions, so he agreed to go to Huanglong Day trip to the creek.

In fact, I also want to see what is the difference between our ancient town and the ancient town here, and what is worth learning from.

It's a pity that when I got to the place, I realized that the scale of this ancient town is incomparable to ours. Our ancient town has two underground floors. The ancient town here is basically a commercial street. The only saving grace is that it is all ancient buildings. Antique.

There are also a lot of tourists here, but most of them are older. It takes less than an hour to go around, and there is nothing but shopping.

The place where I live is also very average. Although it is already the largest hotel here, the grade is still far behind ours, not even a star.

But fortunately, the leaders still like it very much. The afternoon sun is shining on the body and it is very warm. Sitting by the stream, drinking tea and chatting, it is still very comfortable!
I chatted with one of the leaders for a while: "Leader, what do you think of this place? Is it still comfortable?"

The leader smiled and said: "It's rare to take a break from the busy schedule. I haven't been so relaxed for a long time. When I passed by Chengdu in 2000 and went to Wuhou Temple, I felt that Sichuan is a place full of outstanding people, and there are treasures of geomantic omen everywhere. I like Sichuan cuisine very much. There is also hot pot, although it is very spicy and numbing, but it is addictive! I heard that people in Sichuan will not be able to stand it if they don’t eat hot pot for three days! I don’t know if it’s true?"

I nodded my head and said, "It's true! I just passed a hot pot restaurant, and I couldn't walk anymore! How about we go eat hot pot at night?"

The leader agreed: "Okay, it's the same as I thought!"

I tentatively asked the leader: "Leader, how much do you know about the rare mines in Pengshan?"

The leader immediately said with a straight face; "If you haven't been investigated, you don't have the right to speak. I have nothing to say about this!"

I immediately changed the subject and said: "The leader taught me a lesson! I'm just asking casually!"

Then he found an excuse and walked away.

Throughout the afternoon, I tested several leaders, and they were all very consistent in their tone. When it came to the project, they kept silent, as if they had a tacit understanding.

Tian Xinrui was as busy as a tour guide, arranging rooms, dinner, and souvenirs.

I pulled her to sit down and said: "Why do you have to do these things yourself? Before, didn't you find a few people to do the preliminary work well?"

Tian Xinrui shook her head and said, "I'd better do these things myself, so that I can get closer to the leaders and facilitate future work!"

I sighed and said: "You are such a nerd, how can anyone think highly of you when you do things like this! What do you look like when you run back and forth! The relationship is not like this, you can get closer! You just talk to someone You're like a waiter, it's no wonder people don't look down on you!"

Tian Xinrui asked incomprehensibly: "This is how I appear to be sincere!"

I sighed and said, "Sincerity? What's the sincerity? You're not really begging them to go through the back door. Ordinary hospitality is fine, but if it's too deliberate, it will appear that you have a guilty conscience! If your project is real , It’s not about cheating, what are you afraid of? Their inspection is their normal work, not your obligation! There’s no need to be so humble, none of these people is richer than you, and none of them know better about mining than you.”

Tian Xinrui was puzzled and said, "Aren't we just begging someone now? Without the leader's approval note, we wouldn't even be able to get a license!"

I waved my hand and said, "Again, I'm not begging them, it's a normal inspection job! If you apply, they have to inspect it. Even if you don't invite them, they have to come to the site for inspection. Objective facts, they can't Change, it’s just that you moved the time forward. Be tougher, it’s better to entertain, but you really can’t do these things anymore, otherwise they really don’t take you seriously. The more you do this, they will The more I think you are a bully!"

Tian Xinrui said in embarrassment: "Then it's already like this, what else can I do?"

I asked, "Does our company have a branch in Chengdu? Or an office?"

You could tell from Tian Xinrui's expression that she didn't know at all.

I sighed, picked up the phone, called Zhiling and asked, "Does our company have an office or branch in Chengdu?"

Zhiling replied without thinking: "Yes, it's still very big, do you need me to contact the person in charge?"

I hummed and said, "Just tell them, Mr. Tian and I are here, let's see their reaction?"

Zhiling hummed and said, "I know how to do it!"

Three minutes later, my cell phone rang, and a sweet voice said: "You are Chen Fei, Mr. Chen, right? I am the person in charge of the Sichuan Branch of Yunli Group. My surname is Wang, and my name is Benny!"

I hummed and said, "Mr. Wang, hello!"

Wang Beini immediately said: "Mr. Chen, hello! I'm very sorry, it's my negligence at work. I don't know if you and Mr. Tian have come to Sichuan. I don't know the purpose of your visit this time?"

I just replied lightly: "Investigate the project!"

Wang Beini said: "Really? That's great. If it's convenient, I want to come over and report to you right away!"

I hummed and said: "Yes, we are in Huanglongxi, and there are many leaders here!"

Wang Beini immediately reacted and said: "That's easy, I'll arrange it right away, just wait for me, I'll be there in 30 minutes!"

After hanging up the phone, he said to Tian Xinrui: "There are company resources, why don't you use them? You can save a lot of money!"

Tian Xinrui lowered her head and said, "How do I know that we can also use the resources of other branches?"

I sighed and said, "Didn't you write the contract you signed with the company? With a 500 million deposit, you can use all the company's resources, otherwise, you paid the 500 million for nothing! Look at the project managers in the company , How do people do it? Make full use of every resource in the company, save as much as you can, and save it all is your own money! You are so good, all the money is paid by yourself, no wonder you don’t carry your money so much spent!"

Tian Xinrui suddenly realized: "Yes, no one has ever told me this before! I am the most unpopular person in the company!"

I cut my throat and said, "That's your own idea. You don't even consider yourself a human being. How can you expect someone with a high level of awareness to treat you as a master? Since you have told me everything, you and Ma is always upright, so what are you afraid of? On the contrary, I don’t think there is any need to pay attention to those people. Just because of your relationship with Mr. Ma, everyone should know that you are not easy to bully , when the wind blows by your pillow, who doesn't have to be laid off immediately!"

Tian Xinrui said angrily: "What are you talking about? I did this to avoid suspicion, and I don't want people to think that I rely on relationships to make the project!"

I shook my head and said: "You don't have to prove anything, show it to others! What can you do if others have seen it and proved yourself? To get the respect of these people? Do you need it? These people who don't know the truth People, why do you care about them? Just be yourself!"

Tian Xinrui nodded.

After 30 minutes, sure enough, Wang Beini rushed over, greeted me, and said, "Mr. Chen, let's just try to stay for one night tonight. I have already sent someone to make arrangements for Pengshan, so you don't have to Worried!"

I took a look at this sweet-sounding, smart-looking woman, dressed in white casual clothes and white sneakers, not formal attire. I must have judged that we are in a tourist attraction, and wearing formal attire is incompatible with this place.Looking at her appearance, it matches her voice very well. She looks very sweet. She doesn't look like a management team, but more like a tour guide. She looks very kind.

I said with satisfaction: "Very good! The work efficiency is very high! I will talk to you about work later, and Mr. Tian's guests have been entertained here. It is related to the inspection results of tomorrow's project!"

Wang Beini nodded hastily and said, "Okay, don't worry! I've already brought some colleagues from the company here. Just tell me, as long as there are those people!"

I looked at Tian Xinrui, and she immediately understood, took out a list and handed it to Wang Beini, and said, "On it is the name of the leader and relevant information. I will introduce you one by one in a while! The following work may require you Fully cooperated!"

Wang Beini said with a smile: "You are too polite! This is what we should!"

Wang Beini left and went to work.

Tian Xinrui asked me curiously: "Why is she so cooperative? Is it because you are the general manager?"

I sneered and said, "Are you stupid? Sure, she's still counting on me for her promotion!"

Tian Xinrui said with a little disappointment: "That's your face, I beg you to come forward if anything happens in the future!"

I shook my head and said: "This is just one of the reasons I said. Have you read your contract? If they cooperate with you, they can get a certain amount of dividends. Where the project is, it will be in charge of the project, of course You don’t have to! Since you asked them to come and help, this project is naturally related to them! The early, middle, and later stages of the project need the cooperation of people, and these costs will definitely be with you, but don’t think about it Going beyond them and working on your own project saves this money, which you can’t save at all. It costs money to find anyone, and it takes time to train and build a sense of trust between each other. Instead of investing time and money in this way, it is better to find a trusted partner to cooperate with.”

Tian Xinrui hummed and said, "That makes sense! Then let's use them!"

I shook my head and said: "Don't be so sure, just observe and see if they can do it? I found that you don't know anything about things other than your own project! What I say is what you say. Don’t you have any ideas? You still want to make a good project like this? I’m really sweating for myself. If I believed in you from the beginning and gave you the money, would this project still be possible? My money Aren’t they all in vain? I thought that all of you were tall and big trees, but when I looked back, each of you was nothing...Don’t stare at me like this, I’m For your own good, I am so direct!"

Tian Xinrui put away her fierce eyes, and said in a moment of disappointment: "I also know my shortcomings, and I don't have experience in operating large projects, so I want to complete this project and accumulate experience!"

I almost spat out a mouthful of blood and said: "You use your own 500 million and the company's money to learn the experience of operating projects? Isn't this tuition too extravagant? If I take a step, I don't like you, you The project is in the hands!"

Tian Xinrui suddenly smiled and said: "So, I was the first to stand up and agree to you to become our general manager when the board of directors voted that day! We need a treacherous, cunning, and philistine old fox like you to help us what!"
