Rongping Department Store.

Sixth Floor, Banquet Hall.

At the door of the venue, the staff stopped Chen Zhuo: "Comrade, please show your work card or invitation letter." ”

"Trouble. Chen Zhuo handed over his invitation.

After checking the invitation, the staff handed Chen Zhuo a badge and said with a smile: "Please come in!"

Chen Zhuo is a native of Northeast China, with a father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, and seven aunts and eight aunts, all of whom are employees of state-owned enterprises. He was the third child in the family, and it was difficult to replace his parents' positions, so he was admitted to a secondary school to study, and after graduation, he became a small cadre of a state-owned enterprise.

The old industrial base in Northeast China has decayed rapidly in recent years, and although Chen Zhuo's family has no one laid off, it is difficult to pay wages. When people meet and greet each other, they don't ask "have you eaten", but ask "can your factory pay wages", and if they answer "can pay wages", they will inevitably win the sincere envy of friends.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Zhuo resolutely resigned from his job in a state-owned enterprise and went to Shencheng to start a business.

In just one year, Chen Zhuo lost all the 30,000 yuan he borrowed, and returned to his hometown to heal and reflect. By chance, he learned that the canned food on the market in Northeast China last year had a large-scale crack in winter.

For this situation, people can't find the reason at all, they all say that the temperature is too low, and the bottle is frozen.

Chen Zhuo suddenly had a whim, bought dozens of brands of canned food, took them to the cold storage of the meat factory for experiments, and came to the following conclusion: above minus 18 degrees, all brands of canned food are intact. At minus 18 degrees Celsius, not only will the pork in the meat factory freeze quickly, the fruit in the cans will freeze into a sponge, and most of the glass cans will crack.

Chen Zhuo is not a scientist, he doesn't know the reason, but he knows that there must be a market for those brands that don't freeze bad.

Among these brands that are not broken, Xifeng is the most famous, so Chen Zhuomao recommended himself and went to Xifeng Company as a salesman. He took the canned food produced by Xifeng and ran around the northeast, inviting distributors and retailers to the cold storage for experiments wherever he went.

In just two months, Xifeng canned food was sold all over the three eastern provinces, and at this time, the general manager Yang Xin had just contacted European distributors.

It is precisely because of the company's contact with European distributors that Chen Zhuo finally knows the scientific reason for the freezing and cracking of canned bottles. It seems to be related to the sugar content (not sweetness), the sugar content of saccharin is more than 200 times lower than that of sucrose, and the physical properties of the solution are very different at low temperatures.

Those unscrupulous producers who are greedy for money, using saccharin instead of white sugar, can save 95% of the cost of sugar, and the overall cost of raw materials can save 20%-30%, but they have lost most of the market in low-temperature areas.

Chen Zhuo was also favored by the company's senior management, and he is now the head of sales in the Northeast region. The company will divide the Chinese market into eight regions by the end of the year, and Chen Zhuo has already received the news that he will be the sales director of the Northeast region of Xifeng, including the iced tea range, which is also in his purview.

Walking into the venue, Chen Zhuo quickly found his seat. This man was relatively forward, and there was already a middle-aged man sitting next to him, with a huge scar on his face, which looked like he had been burned or scalded.

"Hello, my name is Chen Zhuo. Chen Zhuo took the initiative to shake hands and say hello.

The middle-aged man smiled honestly and said, "My name is Luo Jiaquan." ”

Chen Zhuo felt that the other party's hands were very rough, and couldn't help asking, "I'm doing sales in the Northeast, which part is Brother Luo responsible for?"

Luo Jiaquan said: "I am an ordinary worker, and I have just been promoted to the workshop safety director of the Shaanxi branch factory. ”

Chen Zhuo felt more and more surprised, because the Shaanxi branch had just been established, and a workshop safety director was not qualified to come to the headquarters for the annual meeting. He asked, "Brother Luo's work must be excellent, right?"

Luo Jiaquan said shyly: "It's nothing outstanding or not." Last month, the warehouse where the boxes were stacked caught fire, and I happened to pass by, so I rushed in and transported the cartons away from the middle, so that the fire could not burn, and the small half of the warehouse was saved. ”

"Brother Luo, you are a firefighting hero!" Chen Zhuo was in awe.

"Hey, hey. Luo Jiaquan grinned, but he was actually quite proud.

A lot of people came in one after another in the venue, and Chen Zhuo even saw more than a dozen reporters, the company's annual meeting was very big!

At about half past five in the afternoon, the company's senior management appeared together, but unfortunately Chen Zhuo only knew Zhang Guodong, who was in charge of marketing and sales.

Song Weiyang is too young, sitting at the table of the company's leaders, it is difficult not to attract attention.

Chen Zhuo was quite excited, thinking: That should be the chairman!

Chen Tao served as the host of the annual meeting today, dressed like a big star. She walked up to the stage, took the microphone and said: "Leaders, friends, colleagues, thank you for coming to the first annual meeting of Xifeng Beverage and Food Company in your busy schedule. Over the past year......"

I talked for a few minutes, but everyone didn't feel bored, and it was also a pleasure to watch the big beauty talk.

"The healthy and rapid development of Xifeng Company is also inseparable from the support of government leaders...... Today, we are fortunate to have Mayor Huang Yunsheng and Mayor Huang come to be a guest, let us use warm applause to invite Mayor Huang to come to the stage to say a few words!" Chen Tao stepped aside after speaking.

Originally, Fan Zhengyang was invited this time, and Huang Yunsheng also expressed his understanding, respecting the old and loving the young. It's a pity that Lao Fan was temporarily ill and is still lying in the hospital, probably to celebrate the New Year in the hospital.

Huang Yunsheng walked onto the stage calmly with a smile and said: "Reform and opening up have been ...... for more than ten years"

Mayor Huang's speech was very level, first reviewing the reform process of more than 10 years, praising the motherland's reform achievements, and emphasizing the reform policy of the central government. Then he reviewed the history of industrial development in Rongping City, and by the way, he also praised Fan Zhengyang a few words, praised the gratifying performance of Xifeng Company, and expressed his determination to respond to the call of the central government and develop the local economy.

He spoke alone for 40 minutes......

Huang Yunsheng went down, Yang Xin came to the stage again, and entered the topic in a few sentences: "The development of Xifeng is inseparable from the hard work of all employees. This year, we selected the company's top 10 employees...... Yuan Hexiang, manager of the company's production management department, he has paid close attention to production and construction for two consecutive years in the case of the shortage of canned food and iced tea products, and has not rested for three consecutive days and three nights...... In recognition of his outstanding contribution to the company, a special reward of 10,000 yuan in cash and a Songhuajiang automobile will be awarded!"

The media frantically took pictures, and employees clapped their hands desperately.

Yang Xin put on a big red flower for this person, handed over the certificate of honor, and held up a special oversized check and car keys for reporters to take pictures.

Other employees were immediately envious, this is a big deal, Songhuajiang Automobile alone is worth more than 30,000!

In order to avoid psychological imbalance among the winners, the top 10 employees are all rewarded equally.

Luo Jiaquan was the fifth to take the stage to accept the award, and Chen Zhuo was the seventh to take the stage. The last person is named Liu Gang, the deputy manager of the company's logistics management department, who has been traveling all over the country for a long time, and has initially established Xifeng's freight system, and Yang Xin has planned to straighten him out.

Next is the program performance, the company also invited a few young singers, and there are also sound sketches rehearsed by the employees themselves. The climax of the annual meeting is the lottery link, there is an ordinary workshop worker, because of good performance was recommended to participate in the annual meeting, but accidentally won the grand prize of 5,000 yuan, and was so excited that he fainted directly on the spot.

As the chairman of the company, Song Weiyang has never spoken on stage, only caring about eating and watching performances.

Chen Zhuo was very sorry about this, he admired the chairman and waited to listen to the chairman's speech.

Until nine o'clock in the evening, the annual meeting ended.

Before Chen Zhuo could take a stand, a staff member suddenly came over and said to him: "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock in the company's headquarters for a meeting, the chairman will personally give a class to the senior cadres, and you are allowed to observe." ”
