Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 987 987. Consumption Preferences

On the way back after renting the car, Lao Bai received a call from Xu Tongying from China, asking him for Lebai's data for the first quarter.

Lao Bai bluntly said that he was leading a group and had no time to organize it recently, so he asked her to wait patiently for a few days before he finished the calculation. Xu Tongying said that although today is only the 1st, it is already the first day of the second quarter. Even if Laobai cannot provide accurate data for the first quarter, he can at least provide a rough figure for investors to estimate the income for the first quarter. and expenditures. After all, mastering the data can make more accurate adjustments to the financial forecast for the second quarter. It can also be compared horizontally with the forecast made at the end of last year to see whether the original forecast was too optimistic, which is beneficial to the full-year data. Make more realistic predictions.

Lao Baixin said that the group is gone. Is there a big gap with last year’s estimate? He was already upset because of the lack of income and ugly data in the first quarter. Being scolded by Xu Tongying made him even more annoyed. Xu Tongying almost made him angry when he threw him a slap before hanging up the phone. News: A domestic computer company that had always said it would not cancel its trip finally canceled its business group going to Germany to participate in an exhibition due to the intensifying SARS epidemic. Seeing that the business group finally started to follow the footsteps of the tourist group, Lao Bai hurriedly ended the call with a heavy heart.

After meeting everyone, Lao Bai took a group of young men to visit the merchants he cooperated with as usual. Milan seems to have not yet been hit by SARS. The bustling downtown area is crowded with people. Dong Qiangqiang feels the same as when he arrived last year: all the purchasing power of the world is concentrated here.

But soon he and Dong Qiangqiang discovered that although the young men didn't care about eating and drinking, and obediently entered the luxury stores recommended by Lao Bai, they only watched the consumption. At first, Lao Bai thought it was something that didn't suit his taste, so he could only take him to as many different stores as possible. However, the young masters went to many stores and still didn't buy anything. Lao Bai couldn't get angry, but his face became more and more complex. Look ugly. Dong Qiangqiang took the opportunity to remind him not to show off his face when he was unhappy. The service industry was most taboo about showing off one's face. Maybe the young men just didn't see what they liked. The shopping methods and attitudes of boys and girls were very different.

Lao Bai is very clear, and he also knows that showing off his face does mean that the family is angry and has no structure. He can't do anything if the other party really doesn't buy it. He is just embarrassed to admit his mistake, so he makes an excuse: his bad looks are not all because of the rich second generation's incompetence. The shopping spree and this trip made no money, and the business group also started to lose orders. According to this trend, the first quarter data may not be the ugliest in the whole year, and it may be the peak performance of the whole year. Dong Qiangqiang knew that this situation was actually a matter of time, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. However, he couldn't discourage Lao Bai, so he could only advise him not to be discouraged yet. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain.

Young men are not keen on shopping. They passed by a row of luxury shops at the back without even taking a glance at them, let alone opening the door to go shopping. Neither Dong Qiangqiang nor Lao Bai knew what they were interested in.

Lao Bai originally walked slowly because of his poor legs and feet. After walking in the sun for a long time and without the incentive of making money, he walked slower and slower. When Dong Qiangqiang saw an ice cream shop at the corner, he asked everyone to try Milan's flagship ice cream. Everyone could sit under the awning of the shop and have a rest, while discussing what interesting things they wanted to see.

Dong Qiangqiang and Lao Bai talked about Leslie Cheung, and both of them were very sad, but maybe this is the true face of life. You have to work hard to live well and live every moment well.

While the two of them were studying how to open up the situation, the young masters looked around for anything interesting in the four directions.

Diagonally across from the ice cream shop was a motorcycle shop. First-class, brightly colored road racing cars were neatly parked in front of the shop. The two boys were attracted by the racing and ran straight over. After a while, they grabbed a few small posters and ran away again. When I came back, I asked Lao Bai and Dong Qiangqiang if they could get tickets for the motorcycle and bicycle show being held in Milan.

Lao Bai has never cooperated with a motorcycle company. He thought that even if he could get tickets and bring people to the exhibition, he would not earn a cent from the young men buying motorcycles. He was purely a volunteer. His immediate feedback was very negative. When the young men heard that The reply was negative, and the disappointment on his face was clear. Dong Qiangqiang, a bystander, found an excuse to pull Lao Bai aside: "Can you get the tickets?"

"You can enter this kind of exhibition by buying a ticket, so it's not a hassle, but why should I bother to drag them there? The luxury stores are mainly in the city center." Lao Bai said while gesturing in one direction.

"Then why did you reject them? Have you ever thought about it? These people have worked hard to come to Italy with injuries and glory. It is impossible to just look at them and not buy anything. What if one of them buys a motorcycle?"

"I don't know motorcycle companies. Even if they buy them, these motorcycle companies won't give me a commission. So aren't I making wedding dresses for others?" Lao Bai looked at the young men and asked.

While the two of them were talking, the young men had already gathered in front of the prototype motorcycle displayed at the entrance of the motorcycle shop, and they were discussing the motorcycles with great interest.

"I think you are stuck in the negative emotions just now." Dong Qiangqiang turned to the young men, "Think about it, although you can't earn commission from their motorcycle purchases, these people like motorcycles but they don't. If you really buy a motorcycle here, you can’t just let it sit at home and eat dirt, right? Then who can teach them? If they learn from you, you can earn back-end training. Money. And don’t forget, these people are not good at speaking. Even if you teach carefully, there will definitely be many problems when taking the German exam. They may not be able to pass the written test and the road test in one go. They will not be able to understand the examiner’s instructions. It's very possible. Didn't I just fail the car road test once? If you didn't pay special attention when teaching, or you taught some knowledge points but they didn't remember or learn them, then wouldn't they have to retake the test? , these incomes may be tedious and not one-time, but they are not necessarily less than the commissions you earn directly from motorcycles. When they all become your customers and have trust in you, you can encourage them to learn how to drive. , How much do you have to earn here and there?”

Although it was a bit unfair to say this, Dong Qiangqiang thought that since he had no friendship with the young masters, there was no need to save money for them, so he might as well let Lao Bai earn more.

Lao Bai just woke up from a dream, and he honestly admitted his mistake to Dong Qiangqiang. He didn't even think of such a simple truth, which shows that he was really overwhelmed by irritability.

After apologizing, he pretended to be concerned and asked the young men if they had motorcycle driver's licenses. The young men's answers were exactly as Dong Qiangqiang guessed. They admitted that they had always wanted to take the exam, and the exam fee was not a problem, but they were not confident in the exam.

As soon as Lao Bai heard what the other party said, he knew that Dong Qiangqiang was talking again, and immediately ordered Dong Qiangqiang to turn the car around and go straight to the auto show.
