Chapter 30: Jamie's Growth
Zhan Hong has not listed the company for a long time, although it can get more capital and development, he still insists on controlling the company by himself. Over the years, he has insisted on steady and steady, based on civilian brands, and taking the people-friendly line.
There are also funds and investment groups that want to buy them several times, and Lao Zhan has also considered it, but out of wanting to better control the company, especially after Zhan Jamie's performance is very unsatisfactory, he still decided not to go public, otherwise Zhan Jamie is afraid that he will be out early. Fortunately, he still has time and a chance to temper him.
Zheng Yoko asked Jamie to take a turn at the front desk for a month, I don't know if the manpower received any rumors, and transferred him back, because the head of marketing asked him to do marketing planning, which is also a rare thing to do marketing planning directly from the front desk of customer service.
Zheng Yoko said with a smile: "Jamie, this month you have a good understanding of the thoughts of female customers, which will be of great benefit to you in making marketing plans in the future." She had been wondering what the story was behind the order.
Jamie is a little embarrassed, this month by female customers of different ages has become his biggest gain in the customer service department, except for himself, other colleagues have nothing to do to joke about him, he can't stand on the table and shout: "Lao Tzu is the prince." Then you can only endure it.
Lao Wu, the head of marketing, knows his identity, after all, he always goes to his house to drink tea, but he always has words and lets him have a good experience, and Lao Wu does not dare to disobey the command, so he puts him in the least important planning team, starting from the most inconspicuous planning case.
Zhan Jamie protested to Lao Zhan: "I'm a high-achieving student who came back from studying abroad, and you let me do those small plots? Dad, you're losing a lot of money in this business." Lao Zhan smiled, he didn't object, he didn't support, but his eyes were saying: "It's not a small fight for you to start your own business, right?"
Zhan Jamie understood his father's eyes, touched his nose, and drove back to his apartment in a small broken car.
Not only was he driven out to be an ordinary employee, but he didn't even have a home, for fear that his colleagues would find out and his experience would not be successful, he silently complained to his father in his heart, did he have to arrange a few robberies for him?
His father didn't arrange it for him, but his group leader didn't like him very much, his group leader was a woman about the same age as Zheng Yangzi, and her appearance was very different, Zheng Yangzi tried her best to go to affinity, and this Miss Dong Minglan was a royal sister all the way to the end, looking like a strong woman.
Jamie slandered: "Dressed like this, isn't he also responsible for these petty marketing cases, and he can't even get Christmas." ”
But Dong Minglan didn't care whether it was a small fight or not, and every plan he submitted was returned by Dong Minglan at least three times. Jamie was angry, this is not the right thing at all, what's the matter, look at me handsome and easy to bully?
After being returned for the last time, he ran to Dong Minglan's desk and asked very carefully about the reason for the return, the reason why he was very cowardly was that he didn't want things to happen to his father, and was criticized for being a bully, he was just a small clerk, and he had to look like a small clerk.
Dong Minglan looked at him coldly, this young man, she didn't like it from the beginning, although he was well-dressed and well-behaved, but his smile and upbringing, with a high-minded taste, Dong Minglan didn't know why an ordinary staff member had such a sense of superiority, this sense of superiority made her unhappy.
And the proposals he submitted were really not deliberately targeted at him by Dong Minglan, but his proposals, all floating in the clouds and unable to land. Their department is responsible for small planning projects, and the so-called small means that the cost budget is very low, and they have to do the most with the least money.
Every time Jamie gives him a proposal, he doesn't think about the cost at all, and an Arbor Day event makes a budget for the Spring Festival. Every time Dong Minglan retreated, he deducted 30 percent, and in the end, 30 percent was left, and Dong Minglan discounted it in half, deducted the ungrounded and flashy planning, and then took it to the team for discussion.
Every time Jamie hears about the plans of his colleagues, what to give away egg shopping bags, he wants to leave every minute, what does Dad think, what can this customer group be!
Dong Minglan showed these proposals to Lao Wu, Lao Wu shook his head, did not make any comments, and asked Dong Minglan to take him well. When he turned his head to drink tea, he told Lao Zhan that the prince had not yet experienced the hardships of people's livelihood.
Lao Zhan smiled bitterly: "It's all Wang Meiyuan who spoiled him, he has been used to him since he was a child, he doesn't understand that although our shopping mall is big, it is not like Jiuguang to make luxury goods." Forget it, it's time for him to live a normal life. ”
So Zhan Jamie was surprised to find that his credit card had been suspended, and he immediately understood that Lao Zhan was really to him, and he also breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to make some achievements to show his father, at least to prove that he could live on his own income.
It's just that this ordinary person lives and Mr. Jamie's life is probably two completely different concepts, Jamie feels that he has saved and saved, but he still ran out of food after a week and had to secretly find Wang Meiyuan to support, although the mother felt sorry for her son, but at the insistence of Lao Zhan, she only gave 2,000 yuan of pocket money.
Jamie looked at the WeChat transfer, laughed angrily, thinking that he was a person who did great things, just because the business failed to be squeezed by his father like this, a tragedy in the world, this little money, even he didn't have enough to eat, not to mention so many girls who secretly sent him Qiubo were waiting for him to treat, no way, I didn't go to the nightclub, and I didn't eat the Japanese food.
Dad tortures him like this again, probably he has to sell his appearance and let the girls invite him to dinner, presumably there are people who are very happy, speaking of girls, fortunately, the girls he broke up with before don't seem to visit his own shopping mall, so basically he can't touch it, otherwise this person will lose a lot.
After eating steamed buns and instant noodles for a week, he finally survived until payday, looking at the less than five-figure income in the account, he really wanted to cry without tears, this is still human resources to see that in the context of his overseas study, the income is three percent higher than that of the same university graduates in China, I really don't understand how ordinary people live with this income.
He somewhat understood why Dong Minglan said that he was not grounded.
If he was in a luxury store, maybe those planning cases would be more suitable, but none of his own shopping malls are top luxury brands, most of them are affordable clothing brands, and they have always taken the convenient route.
Only then did he understand that it was this department store that only sold evaluation clothes, but it allowed him to live a life of worry-free food and clothing for half his life, and a life of going in and out of luxury cars.
After a few days, Dong Minglan was pleased to see that the proposal submitted by Jamie began to consciously consider the actual situation, budget and the actual customer groups faced, indicating that her strict teachings were still very effective.
If he follows Lao Zhan's direction, Jamie may be able to experience it and become the second generation of Shoucheng, maybe with more experience, he can go out of a new direction.
But the robbery still came, and the robbery belonged to Jamie, and even more to Lao Zhan, and even more to all the employees of the company.
Lao Zhan was diagnosed with bowel cancer, which was in an advanced stage, and his time was running out.
The entire company's management was shocked, Lao Zhan has been in control of the company for many years, and he has not delegated much power, and he has been operating in decision-making, and now there is a sudden bad news, whether it is a person who is loyal to him or not, he has begun to have his own thoughts and calculations.
Jamie was even more uneasy, he was not ready to take over the company at all, but Lao Zhan only had one child, no brothers and sisters, no one else to rely on, as the Internet joke said, he couldn't work hard, so he could only go back to take over the company.
He had no choice but to take over the company, and there was no second way.
Those uncles and elders, who have been with their father all their lives, wiped their tears in front of the hospital bed and promised Lao Zhan to support Jamie well, but Jamie himself has no confidence, and he really doesn't dare to fully trust these uncles.
And the group leader, Ms. Dong Minglan, watched the young man in her team, Xiao Zhan, become Xiao Zhan overnight, and her heart was full of thoughts, I don't know if I should submit my resignation immediately, but Jamie didn't have time to pay attention to her harshness, he was too busy.
Managing a company of this size is not an easy task, Xiao Zhan found out on the first day, fortunately, although Lao Zhan is undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital, it is still possible to come up with ideas and manage old subordinates.
Although we are a win-win relationship, the points and programs are divided into points, and there is also a primary and secondary one, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind beats the east wind.
No matter how comprehensive the advice given by the subordinates is, the on-the-spot negotiation skills are also required. And the several luxury brands he tried to introduce himself, after several rounds of negotiations, were also unsatisfactory.
Jamie doubted himself for the first time, the failure of the previous ventures, the flashy proposals, he felt that it was not a big problem, there was always a shopping mall, but this time, who would give the shopping mall a back?
Lao Zhan looked at the cooperation plans of several light luxury brands he introduced, and shook his head: "We don't need these luxury brands in our shopping mall. Because of respect for Lao Zhan and consideration of Lao Zhan's body, Jamie temporarily put these plans on hold, but his self-confidence was greatly damaged.
He felt that he was completely incompetent for this job, this was not a job of lying down and counting money, the management of the brand, the maintenance of government departments, the development of large customers, etc., were all laborious things, unless, he could watch his shopping mall decline day by day.
