Chapter 86: Big Brother
I still remember that before the accident, I had just left campus to work in a bank.
gritted his teeth and used the two-month internship bonus, plus Huabei bought a new mobile phone in installments, silently supporting domestic products and resisting the suppression from the United States.
Now not only bought a mobile phone for nothing, but also entered the hinterland of the hostile camp, and became a Chinese-American, the only thing that comforted him was that the white strip did not have to be returned, but unfortunately the mobile phone was gone, and he felt a loss no matter how he counted it.
When I came to the electrical appliance mall, I saw that there were a few bricks in the Motorola counter, even if I saw Zhao Bailu take out such a heavy gadget from his schoolbag, Chen Linzhi still felt that he couldn't bear to look at it directly, and it was so simple that it made him feel cold.
Thinking that he may have to wait until middle age in this life to use smart phones again, there is nothing more helpless than this, it has been almost half a year since he returned to this era, and he still always feels that there are few mobile phones in his pocket, and he is forced to pass the time by reading books, reading newspapers, and watching TV.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, even if you drive a Mercedes-Benz S-class, the scholar starts a business from scratch, but still can't fill the enjoyment brought by the Internet, fortunately, I have been busy recently, and the woman's fate is surprisingly good, but I won't feel too bored.
Put your hands in your pockets and take a walk around the store.
In fact, there is only one style of mobile phone for him to choose, but the color of the shell is different, and it is Zhao Bailu's DynaTAC8000X, which weighs two pounds, has a call time of half an hour, and a promotional price of more than 3,500 US dollars, which is a veritable "precious brick".
In addition, the store also sells a variety of products such as walkie-talkies and BP machines.
Chen Linzhi picked up a small black BP machine and read it, and had a little impression of this gadget called pager, but it was relatively vague, and it was a transitional product that withdrew from the stage of history very early.
A bloated black clerk, seeing Chen Linzhi wearing a black suit, looked relatively rich, and happened to have no other customers in the store, so he approached and asked: "Which product do you want to buy, I can help you introduce the performance, there are discounts in the past few days, and some small goods are also given away for free, water cups, keychains, or snowflake balls." ”
The so-called snowflake ball refers to a glass ornament filled with water, and when shaken, the sequins are stirred to look like snow.
Chen Linzhi tried a black BP machine, which can be equipped with a battery on the back, a specific number engraved on the fuselage, with a rectangular display, and asked: "If I buy a machine like this, how can others contact me?"
The black female clerk has a strange gaze, like seeing a hillbilly enter the city, this thing has been born for some time, it has been popular all over the world, and it's hard to believe that there are people who don't know how to use it, especially in San Francisco.
"This is Motorola's latest digital pager, which is more advanced than previous analog pagers and can display both the name of the contact and the number you need to reply to," she explains.
When someone calls your pager number, the computer automatically queries up the contact and sends a callback message to your pager out of your sight. ”
It's a reminder of missed calls in the future.
Chen Linzhi asked without understanding, pointed to the mobile phone on the counter not far away, and then asked: "If I buy a mobile phone, I don't need a pager, right?"
"Of course, if someone calls you and can communicate anytime and anywhere, why do you need a pager?" the black female clerk said in a somewhat impatient tone, with such a personality, it had nothing to do with him.
Chen Linzhi didn't care, he didn't know anything about it because it was too advanced, but in the face of these old antiques, he really didn't understand what functions they had.
The space available for him to choose is too small, after asking about the performance of the phone, he directly picked a white big brother, borrowed the landline in the store and tried it out, and quickly selected the number to pay, a total of more than 3,700 US dollars, which is equal to a pretty good car.
Chen Linzhi was also distressed, but since he started to do business, it was more important to maintain close communication, and if he missed an important call, the loss was not just a few thousand dollars.
Yin Yu didn't have the money to buy a mobile phone, let alone see that his friends had made a fortune, so he was cheeky and didn't distinguish between each other, and took Motorola's big brother to turn over and over, no matter how he looked at it, he felt fresh.
Chen Linzhi smiled when he saw this: "Technology changes so fast, the price of mobile phones will definitely drop in a short time, and the functions are more advanced." You don't need to buy this thing for the time being, I'll give you a pager? Just see what's the use, make a phone call to your mother's place of work, and I'll just try to see if the call quality is good. ”
The word "good" can't be talked about, Chen Linzhi just begs not to be too bad, in case he holds his mobile phone all day to find a signal, not to mention the trouble, and his arm is wasted.
Yin Yu shook his head and said frankly: "The phone bill is expensive, it costs fifty cents a minute, I want to contact her, it is better to go to the roadside to find a phone booth." The pager is not available for the time being, and not many people call me to see it when needed. ”
"Okay, don't buy it yourself, I'll give one to all the employees of the company. ”
......
After the formalities were processed and the invoice was brought back to the company for reimbursement to the accountant, Chen Linzhi thought about it and called Miss Anastasia with her mobile phone first.
The sound of the call is not as clear as the landline, and there is a certain delay, but fortunately, it can be used, and he reports the new mobile phone number to the other party.
As one of the busiest airports in Asia, there are two or three flights between Port City and San Francisco every day, and the visa on arrival can go at any time, and the fastest flight is at half past nine tonight.
I took the time to hold a meeting with the employees who stayed in the company, told them the news that I had won more than 2 million orders, and mentioned that the salary of all employees would be paid an extra 100 US dollars this month, hoping that they would be serious and continue to work hard to try to develop new sales channels.
At present, the most powerful salesman in the entire San Francisco United Trading Company is still Chen Linzhi, the boss, and the other employees have not received any income for a week, which is really unreasonable.
Chen Linzhi plans to wait until the next time he settles down, and find an opportunity to give more classes to the salesmen, so that they can learn to be resourceful, and for the time being, he is too busy on his side, so he can only hope that the salesmen will consciously go out to find orders for the sake of performance.
Looking at it this way, Chen Linzhi feels that the company currently lacks a leader who has sufficient sales experience and can help manage the salesmen, who is responsible for the overall situation and helps him sit in the company.
Thinking of this, a name popped into his mind - Roger Sampras.
When I first went to Bentonville, I accidentally met a salesman from Nestle Group, who has been in the industry for many years, and is also tactful enough to be a person, like a talent that Chen Linzhi is currently lacking.
finally found Roger Sampras's business card, Chen Lin called him on a landline, and enthusiastically discussed a high salary to poach him to help.
Roger remembers him, and he also has a good impression of the city of San Francisco, and learned from Chen Linzhi that he was directly a supervisor and could get a commission according to the amount of orders, and finally successfully set the interview time for next week......
