Chapter 115: Check-in
Roger Sampras was delayed for a few days.
From the original scheduled week, it was postponed to two weeks, and then I came to report to the headquarters of the San Francisco United Trading Company.
The official position is the business director, which tentatively belongs to the company's second-in-command.
Not to mention the ability, there is nothing to say about the ability of bubble girls, with his joining, Chen Linzhi believes that there will be no shortage of wine in the future.
Old friends Yin Yu and Ah Liang belong to the love field, and they can't play better than him, Chen Linzhi took them to the bar twice, and they all returned empty-handed.
After summarizing and reflecting, I think that it may be because they are all Asian, which makes the girls feel estranged from each other, and it is a matter of course.
April 19th.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Linzhi took Roger to visit the company's headquarters next to Union Square, pointed to an empty table and said:
"In the future, you will work here, and you can feel free to put up posters, put some green plants, etc., our company does not have many regulations on this aspect.
April's performance was a bit poor, and I only sold more than $316,000 worth of goods in total, and I was lucky enough to find a ready-made trading company and recruit five new Chinese employees who were familiar with cross-border trade, three of whom I sent to the port city branch to handle business, and I will let you get acquainted with the other colleagues later. ”
"Three hundred and ten thousand dollars? Wow, that's pretty good based on the size of your company. "Roger has a big personality and is white, but he doesn't know how to be tactful.
Some salesmen went out to look for orders, and only seven or eight people were left in the company, which inevitably made Roger feel small.
The last time he came to San Francisco for an interview, he actually didn't visit the company at all, so he was lured by Chen Linzhi's conditions and agreed to quit his job at Nestle Group and come to San Francisco as a supervisor.
Knowing that Roger had no malicious intent, Chen Linzhi was very indifferent, but said with a smile: "If you knew how advantageous the quotation of our products is, you would not say that, why can I get large orders from Wal-Mart one after another? It is not because the quality of the goods is good and the price is very low, Huaxia on the other side of the strait is reforming, using huge labor resources to try to open up the global trade market, believe me, as long as it is settled in US dollars, even if it is a loss, they are willing to sell." ”
“...... Why? Isn't this dumping?" Roger had just arrived, and he didn't know anything about the peculiarities of this company's business, and it was normal for him to wonder.
Chen Linzhi shrugged his shoulders and said:
"It's hard to explain clearly, but when you understand the business model, you will understand, Huaxia's share of the world trade market is extremely low, and Washington wants to open up that emerging market with a huge population, who cares if small batches of goods are dumped.
What I need you to do now is to help manage the salesmen, investigate and understand the companies and wholesale markets that should be promoted, and then subdivide the work and assign it to them to complete. You'll have twenty-four salesmen, most of whom have sales experience, even if they've sold small gifts at the door of a gas station, don't expect them to be smart, you need to bother to give them your work experience. ”
"Before, my supervisor didn't have so many people, and there were only 10 employees in a team, including me. ”
Roger found it a little interesting, and asked curiously: "Since you can afford to support so many employees, it seems that even if you sell goods at a low price, it is still very profitable?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I open a company, believe me, as long as the performance can go up, you will earn a lot more than before. ”
There are some things that Chen Linzhi didn't say clearly, and he couldn't fully trust Roger.
When the interests were so numerous that he could not betray himself and tied them to a rope together, Chen Linzhi planned to inform the other party of some details.
For example, when paying the deposit, the director of the Ma factory on the other side of the river made a special trip to the port city and got some US dollar cash at an exchange rate of 6 to 1, which made Chen Linzhi earn a lot of money as soon as he came and went, which was equivalent to taking a batch of goods for nothing.
In this process, Chen Linzhi is undoubtedly the winner, and Boss Ma himself has not lost his money.
Moreover, his factory has not suffered any losses, all the accounts can withstand inspection, and the taxes that should be paid are not underpaid.
If you want to ask who has lost, it is nothing more than some compatriots on the other side of the strait who are in urgent need of exchanging dollars, and they are willing to exchange dollars at a price of 9 to 1, or even 10 to 1, and they have invisibly suffered heavy losses.
There is no way, the official is too short of foreign exchange, and some businesses are not able to exchange foreign currency on the surface, so a huge foreign exchange market was born.
This matter was handed over to Yin Yu by Chen Linzhi to be responsible, and he had been together for so long, and he was the only old friend he could trust.
Yin Yu has already gone to work in Hong Kong City, and has been in contact with Director Ma in person to complete the first payment.
As for how Director Ma brought the money back, whether he brought it back or not, it was none of Chen Linzhi's business, as long as Director Ma delivered the goods normally according to the date specified in the contract.
Chen Linzhi is not an old pedant who follows the rules, he has both the opportunity to exploit loopholes and the courage to exploit loopholes.
I talked to Boss Ma about the payment method in person earlier, and the two hit it off......
-------------------------------------
The accumulation of capital is progressing a little slowly, but fortunately, there is no chaos.
Life is improving day by day, new orders are being received one after another, and the scale of wealth has been increasing.
As the world's largest single consumer market, the United States is one of Asia's largest transit points for trade in goods.
Chan chatted with Roger and explained the idea of setting up a new customer service department, which would be mainly responsible for handling orders and transporting goods.
This is an indispensable part of a trading company, and Roger only wonders why it didn't have it before.
What can Chen Linzhi say, Dafang admits that he is still in the learning stage, and the start-up is not perfect in many aspects.
Roger just arrived, Chen Linzhi couldn't be the shopkeeper yet, and his plan to go out to find an order in person was temporarily delayed by him.
I've been busy lately.
At this moment, when he received a call from Zhao Bailu, he found out that the girl had said at the charity party that she would ask her to be her dance partner, but she had not contacted her for half a month.
Sitting at the desk, holding the big brother in his hand, Chen Linzhi smiled in his tone: "Hello, what's the matter with me?" Congratulations, it seems that you have found a suitable male partner, right, I didn't wait for your call." ”
“...... I'm looking for you for this matter, don't you know that many schools in San Francisco have a two-week collective holiday because of the flu outbreak? Tomorrow will officially resume school, and the dance will start at half past six next Friday night, and I would like to make an appointment with you in advance, so as not to have other arrangements at that time. Zhao Bailu's voice came over the phone.
In general, the resistance of yellow people to various virulent infectious diseases is mostly higher than that of white people.
For example, in the years of smallpox in history, the mortality rate of yellow people was 60 to 90 percent, and that of white Europeans was as high as 99 percent.
Chen Linzhi suddenly realized and said: "I saw the news report, but I didn't think about your ball, I'm sorry, I've been really busy lately." I'm going to spare my time on Friday night, where do I go to learn to dance?
"Some ballroom dances, waltzes and the like, should be more formal. ”
Zhao Bailu paused for a moment, and then told: "Otherwise, I will pretend to be sick and take a day or two off to teach you how to do at your house, and I will bring a tape and a tape recorder." ”
