Chapter 100: Business is bleak
On November 18, the company officially opened.
Compared with last month's trial operation, the official opening is much more grand and more formal. Although the auspicious time has not yet arrived, the scene is already full of colorful flags, flying in the air, singing in unison, and crowds of people.
Yuan Yuan, chairman of the head office, came to the scene in person, and also brought several backbones of the company, in addition to giving gifts, but also brought a very delicate jade plaque.
The black bottom of the congratulatory plaque, the title of the above paragraph is "Congratulations to Yuan Ding Jinsheng Housing Consulting Company", and the inscription is the name of the head office and the word "Yuan Yuan", both of which are in golden letters. Two lines of red lines in the center of the congratulatory plaque: Pengcheng thousands of miles to climb the sun and the moon, and the carp Teng Wuyang Aojiao Mansion.
Pointing to the black jade plaque, Yuan Yuan smiled "haha": "Brother, this is specially taken from the cold mountains of the northern country, and the capital is invited to carve by a famous seal carver, if it is not sent to the elder brother, the elder brother is really reluctant." ”
Ding Chi thanked him again, and the rest of the people also appreciated it, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Not long after, the industry management department came, Ding Chi hurriedly greeted in person, this is today's special invited guests, and there will be more reliance in the future, so he will not dare to slack off.
There are as many as nine people from the departments of industry and commerce, real estate, taxation and other departments, plus Yuan Yuan and others, standing on the red carpet in front of the company's building, which is very magnificent.
At 10:08, the ceremony officially began.
The host is the female vice president of the head office, with an elegant temperament, and the golden voice opens, and then introduces each guest.
Store manager Xiao Dan delivered a speech on behalf of the company, not the boss Ding Chi.
The representative of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau spoke, Yuan Dong congratulated and presented the plaque, and the guests cut the ribbon, and the whole process was very lively.
From the beginning to the end of the event, Ding Chi did not walk on the red carpet, but hid in the company's office, and he did not want to reveal his identity. If it weren't for the special day and the presence of many VIPs, he would either not come to the scene, or he would have blended in with the citizens at the scene.
After transferring to a high-end hotel, Ding Chi worked very hard, not only to show absolute respect, but also to eliminate possible misunderstandings. It was too low-key just now, and the low-key was very slow, and the wine field must show enthusiasm.
Drink, let go of the drink. The guests were still a little nervous at first, and as Ding Chi showed great courage, the atmosphere quickly became warm. Gradually, people understood his statement that "it is inconvenient to do business as a student", not only Yuan Yuan and his subordinates praised him, but also the guests of industry and commerce, real estate, etc., were "elder brothers, elder brothers, younger brothers", and several guests even patted his shoulders and hugged his neck. The tax guest even extended a thumbs up: "Okay, good brother." As long as it is within the scope of the policy, my brother will never embarrass you. ”
The effect is very good, and the cost is miserable. After drinking almost two catties of high-grade liquor, Ding Chi was taken away by his brothers, except for knowing that he couldn't go back to school, he couldn't take care of anything else. When I woke up for the first time, the sun had set, and after drinking water and going to the toilet, I fell asleep again. When it was nearly zero o'clock, he opened his eyes for the second time and found Xiao Dan guarding the bedside, Ding Chi was very embarrassed.
After serving Mr. Ding and drinking gruel, seeing that Mr. Ding was no longer in danger, he instructed him again, and Xiao Dan left the hotel room alone.
After the official opening, there were still many customers and the staff were busy, but another month passed, and nothing was done.
Although Ding Chi was also a little anxious, he still comforted Xiao Dan, who was in an impatient mood: "As expected, this requires a process, and loyal customers also need to be raised." ”
Raising and raising, until the end of the month, there are fewer and fewer customers, and Xiao Dan has a big bubble on his mouth, but only two orders have been sold. And all of them are small square meters of second-hand houses, and even in order to become loyal customers, Ding Chi is in charge and gives a large discount, not only symbolically charging intermediary fees, pasting transportation expenses, but also inviting the other party to dinner, a whole busy job.
Xiao Dan couldn't help it, and finally waited for Ding Chi again, made a special report for two hours, and handed in thick report materials.
Of course, Ding Chi knew that the business was quite miserable, but listening to those specific numbers and details, he still secretly sighed, "It's just a miserable word."
"Mr. Ding, there must be a problem, either there is a problem with our thinking, or the information is inaccurate, or we have misjudged the relevant content. Now that I am in this situation, it is mainly my responsibility, and I feel deeply guilty, so I will investigate deeply and carefully to find out the cause in the near future. Mr. Ding, you can't be in a hurry at all!" Xiao Dan said in a heavy tone and was sincere.
How can Ding Chi not be in a hurry? It has been five months since the signing of the cooperation, and more than three months since the trial operation. There are more than 400,000 fixed costs such as franchise fees and deposits, rent, decoration, and upfront investment alone. In addition, since the trial operation, personnel salaries, water, electricity, transportation, office expenses, plus the cost of consumables purchased from the superior company, are a lot of expenses, and continue to incur. If it weren't for individual expenses and the time difference in payment, my money would have been insufficient, and in fact, I am about to bottom out now.
The other party's ability is really good, the work is also very hard, hard, and now he is still anxious with a mouth full of fire bubbles, and he is at the helm, even if he is anxious, he has to be stable on his face, so Ding Chi smiled faintly: "It is necessary to summarize while working, you can do this at any time." The company's business is not good now, but you don't need to rush to do something, everything has a process, and this is especially true for cultivating customers. ”
"Mr. Ding, as long as the business goes up, I am tired and willing. Xiao Dan was a little excited, and took another half step forward, "These days, I am also thinking about customer training, and I also know that everything has a process, but our situation seems to be a little abnormal. According to the usual passenger flow calculation, multiplied by a certain coefficient, the business will not be so bad, even if it can't break even, but it should only be a loss of two or three percent. So I suspect ......"
The other party wanted to speak and stopped, Ding Chi naturally understood what he meant, so he asked: "Do you suspect that the data they give is inaccurate?"
Xiao Dan said very cautiously: "I'm only skeptical now, but it's necessary to know more." You have a good relationship with Mr. Yuan, you should inquire from the side, let's avoid detours, and it is good for everyone. ”
At this moment, the phone rang, and Xiao Dan said hello and left.
The call came from Yuan Yuan, who first cared about the operation of the branch, and then told Ding Chi not to worry, the customer must be supported. It is also said that it is normal to raise it for three or two months, and most of them have to be raised for half a year.
Ding Chi did not raise difficulties, but showed strong self-confidence. This does not mean that he is not at all concerned about Xiao Dan's advice, but he feels that he can't mention it for the time being, but he is a branch manager, so he can't be too bold.
said it hard, but after ending the call, Ding Chi sighed: "Hey......"
Business is sluggish, but the final grades are not bad, and the academic results announced last week are still all full, and the English has passed the fourth level. Ding Chi secretly resented: Rebirth not only has future memories, but also seems to have a much stronger learning ability.
