Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Until the next morning, Lao Bai did not contact Dong Qiangqiang again.

Dong Qiangqiang had something on his mind, so he took the initiative to call Lao Bai, but no one answered. Lao Bai didn't know whether he was busy or had some concerns, so he never called back. He called Zheng Chunhua again to learn about the latest development of the situation. The call got through, and Zheng Chunhua said that what she knew was that the problem seemed to be solved.

like? Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand, but Zheng Chunhua was busy with other things and ended the call in a hurry without explaining more.

With questions and uneasiness about Lao Bai, Dong Qiangqiang and Duanmu met with the client. This time the client was introduced by Anderson. It was also an American investment company, but it was more famous than the one they met on Monday.

Anderson specially greeted Duanmu and told them to take it seriously. Considering that Anderson almost never talked to the two of them, but this time he took the initiative to connect with each other enthusiastically, Duanmu was both happy and concerned.

The communication was very smooth at first, until Dong Qiangqiang accidentally misspoke about important data in several reports due to absent-mindedness. Duanmu was very angry, and it was inconvenient to get angry in front of the client, so he had to fake a smile and pull Dong Qiangqiang to the table. , lowering his voice and reminding him sternly that he must wake up.

The warning still had an effect, and Dong Qiangqiang finally calmed down, adjusted his mentality in time and corrected his mistakes. He focused on coping and finally passed the next question and answer session without any danger.

Unlike the previous American client, this investment company not only cared about the content of the report, but also had an in-depth understanding of the two people’s backgrounds and asked questions, from their experiences before going abroad to studying abroad to their current work and study.

The exchange ended in a friendly atmosphere. Both of them thought it would take a few days to get a reply on whether to sign a contract, but the other party was very happy and signed the contract on the spot.

The other party did not directly ask Duanmu for a discount, but expressed the hope that the number of reports could be increased by one extra report per quarter, which is equivalent to adding four more reports to the existing number of full-year reports. Although he was asking for a discount in disguise, Duanmu agreed without hesitation.

The unusually smooth signing made Duanmu couldn't help but wonder if there was any private deal between the other party and Anderson, and catching cicadas was just a gift from Anderson to the other party.

But signing the contract is a happy event after all. Duanmu made arrangements to treat the client to Chinese food at Wanfu in the evening. Of course, Duanmu's favorite spicy crab was on the table. Although Americans are not as pretentious about eating crabs as Germans, they mainly eat king crabs (mainly to facilitate the use of hands). After understanding the customers’ dietary preferences, Chef Duanmu cut the crabs in half and let the customers You don’t have to break it yourself, just use a spoon to pick up the crab meat and crab roe, add vinegar and minced ginger, and then drink it with cold beer just out of the freezer.

The Yankee was persuaded by Duanmu to have a mouth full of crab oil, and he actually drank a lot, and the guests and hosts enjoyed the meal thoroughly. Duanmu asked Dong Qiangqiang to ask the boss for a discounted price. Dong Qiangqiang couldn't save face and was ready to pay the original price. The boss was considerate and offered him a discount, which moved him again.

After sending away the client, Duanmu burped drunkenly and leaned on the chair to clean Fulgen'er. His posture was an unspoken hint: he was ready to have a meaningful conversation.

Dong Qiangqiang, who had hardly drank, sat next to him, recording the questions raised by customers at the dinner table in the afternoon on the computer, thinking about how to optimize the report in the future and make the article better.

Duanmu chuckled: "Old Dong, have you ever thought about it? Why is it so smooth today?"

Dong Qiangqiang didn't look at him and just typed to himself: "I checked this company, and if I'm not wrong, it's a second-tier dealer. It's most likely that he took our report, processed it, and then sold it to another organization." "Okay," Duanmu Yi said. Hearing the enthusiasm, he praised, "You took the initiative to conduct customer analysis. Not bad. Praise me."

"Are we becoming gunmen? Is it good or bad?"

"What do you think?" Duanmu squinted his eyes and took a sip of wine.

"I think being able to be a shooter means that we have at least been recognized by the other party. Recognition itself means that we are valuable. Although our current income is a little bit small, we are grassroots people who need background but no background and resources but no resources. At this stage, it is a dream to directly find the final customer in one step, we still have to take it step by step. "

"I agree with the first part, but I disagree with the second one. I think it is only a matter of time before we find big customers. People have to have dreams first and then keep their feet on the ground. If you don't even have a dream and have your feet on the ground, you will still be stuck in the same place even if you stomp out a hole. ”

"General Duanmu's lesson is that in short, we have a bright future, but the road is twists and turns, and there is a long way to go." Dong Qiangqiang said as he pushed the computer screen in front of Duanmu, "Here, take a look and see if there is anything else you want to add. If not, I will give it to you tomorrow." I should be able to revise another draft for you in the morning, so that you can be more confident when chatting with the client on Friday.”

"I'm talking to the client on Friday? What about you?" Duanmu, who recognized Dong Qiangqiang's voice, stared at Dong Qiangqiang and revealed his little plan in one sentence, "Don't think about it, I don't agree with you leaving now."

"Isn't the situation this time special?" Dong Qiangqiang smiled and pulled his chair closer to Duanmu, "Besides, we have already signed two contracts, and our goal has basically been achieved. I don't think it will be as good as Friday..."

"Our goal is to win them all." Duanmu said as he turned his head to the screen and sneered while tapping the keyboard with his fingers, "I haven't settled the score with you yet for what you said wrong this afternoon, but you really dare to mention it. "

"The Seven Kingdoms Tour has something to do with me, and there are other people involved here, such as Zheng Chunhua. Since I went there, they have helped me a lot. I really want something to happen because I didn't handle this matter well. I can't explain it to people." Dong Qiangqiang immediately told the story of the seven-country tour.

"You didn't explain to her? Then you have to explain to me as soon as you leave?" Duanmu looked at Dong Qiangqiang and spoke more straightforwardly, "Now the company is at a critical moment of conquering the city and expanding its customers. You want me to What's the matter with just throwing it away? Yu Gong, you failed to fulfill your responsibilities as a shareholder and were unkind to me. Yu privately, you should know how I treat you. I didn't lose any of your bonus last time. Is it unjust for me to leave now? Is it unfair to treat one another? Lao Bai, Zheng Chunhua and others are all your friends, am I not?"

Everything Duanmu said was reasonable, but Dong Qiangqiang knew that he was wrong. He wanted to defend himself but couldn't find a good reason, so he could only sigh.

Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang did not express his position, Duanmu picked up half of an untouched crab from the plate and placed it in front of Dong Qiangqiang. He also picked up a crab leg that had been chewed and placed it next to the crab. He pointed at the crab with his finger: "This is it. Catching cicadas." He pointed at the crab legs again and said, "This is Lao Bai. It's unkind for you to leave me to help him now. I picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. Actually, I can't bear it. I've wanted to tell you for a long time that you should change your bad habits of being a good person and a people-pleaser. If you continue like this, you will sooner or later screw up yourself and Zhu Chan. This is something that Lao Bai didn't do himself. Take care of it, you don't have to be like a nanny, you can't control him for a lifetime. We have to do business first, because the company needs to survive, and we also need money to live. "

Duanmu said this, Dong Qiangqiang knew that he would definitely not be able to leave, but at that moment he did not feel guilty, but felt relaxed for a while, but he suddenly felt sorry for Lao Bai. (End of chapter)
