Chapter Eighty-Five: It's Awkward to Be Here
Chen Mingchang still has something extraordinary, he calmed down instantly with a sense of crisis, and made arrangements and adjustments in three times and five by two. The group and individuals, both internally and externally, Chen Mingchang can still carry it clearly.
After the park was completed and put into operation, Chen Mingchang felt that everything was worry-free, just waiting for his daughter to take over the group smoothly. At that time, he didn't have such a deep understanding of the threat of Bang Shun, firstly, the quality of Mingchang's equipment was first-class, and secondly, he couldn't imagine that Bang Shun would dig Wu Ke's mind.
Now that he learned that the quality of Bangshun equipment was not only comparable to that of Mingchang, but also the price was advantageous, Song Zhihe met Wu Ke in a high-profile manner. This step is a killer move, and Chen Mingchang knows that he needs to make appropriate concessions.
is good at engaging in power and infighting, but he has only one purpose in doing all this, that is, the Mingchang Group is getting better and better and firmly in the hands of the Chen family. Now, in the face of external troubles, he can't take care of internal worries. After calming down, he gave Wu Ke more power, and the sales department returned to Wu Ke's hands. Not only that, but the task of adjusting the sales strategy and the technological transformation of the park was also handed over to Wu Ke.
It's just that he went to the provincial capital for a meal, and Wu Ke easily resolved the crisis he was facing, and at the same time suppressed the dishonest Li Kunpeng.
Such an obvious effect, even Wu Ke didn't expect it at first. But it did happen, and it was a bit unexpected.
There were two people who dropped their jaws in shock, Li Kunpeng and Song Qing.
Li Kunpeng has not yet sat firmly in the sales department, and the middle-level section chiefs who have been replaced have not yet recognized it, so how can they say that they will be replaced? Chen Mingchang is really a moody person who changes his mood every day! A few days ago, he secretly instigated me to dismantle Wu Ke's platform, and in a blink of an eye, he actually let him kill him again.
Song Qing was at odds with Li Kunpeng's confusion, and she was wondering if her father wanted to bring Wu Ke into the Bangshun Group? It stands to reason that a multinational company like Bangshun should be very attractive to Wu Ke, and as long as his father invites him, Wu Ke has no reason not to agree. But what's happening now?
Besides, when his father saw that Wu Ke was known all over the city, Chen Mingchang should sweep Wu Ke out of the house after he found out. Why did he strengthen his power again? This is not scientific!
Everyone was swept away by Wu Ke, this technique is not clever, and it is extremely risky, but Wu Ke bet right, he bet on understanding Chen Mingchang's nature.
In Chen Mingchang's office, he said the countermeasures, and Chen Mingchang was stunned when he heard it. But that's easier said than done.
Strengthen the functions of the sales department, press most of the sales tasks to the sales department, and need to select more talents to enter the sales department, and their work pressure will be greater. The local agents have cooperated for so many years, although Chen Mingchang has made up his mind, but this annoying thing has fallen on his head, Wu Ke can think of what the agent will scold himself after receiving the notice.
The technical transformation of the park, Wu Ke asked Lao Zhu, it is not impossible, but it is very difficult to complete it in the short term. Because the planning of the park was already very reasonable when it was built, and the introduced production line machine tools were also the most advanced, the space for improvement was very limited. In order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, we must also seek breakthroughs in the elimination of old, weak and lazy workers. It's another annoying errand.
Li Kunpeng went back to the office, and he indignantly carried his folder out of the sales department. Although I can't figure out what the situation is, I can't run away from Wu Ke's black hand. If Li Kunpeng was only jealous of Wu Ke before, then from now on, he is already hateful.
Song Qing broke up with Li Kunpeng and submitted his resignation to the company. First, her identity has indeed been discovered, and there is no need to stay, and second, she has a hunch that Bang Shun and Mingchang are about to have a head-to-head confrontation, and it is embarrassing to stay here.
Everything seems to have gone back to a few months ago, Wu Ke has become a busy man again, and the two important tasks of Mingchang Group have fallen into his hands.
This time, Wu Ke extended the butcher knife to dealers all over the country, and the first stop after coming to Mingchang was also from the dealers. But that time it brought huge profits to the dealers, and this time it was to ruin their jobs.
Since Chen Mingchang has come down and is determined to break his wrist, Wu Ke has no psychological burden. To tell the truth, these old friends of Chen Mingchang have made a lot of money over the years, their tails are too big to control, and they can join forces to choke the neck of Mingchang Group when there is a wind and grass. This is not a problem when a company is dominant, after all, the market recognizes it and consumers buy it.
But now it's different, and here comes the contenders. What Wu Ke said in Chen Mingchang's office was not specific, and Chen Mingchang didn't even ask about the specific operation steps, and Wu Ke was solely responsible.
Wu Ke's plan is like this, internally urgently select some young people from the park to enrich the sales team, and immediately push to the front desk after a short training, and achieve more than 50% of the total sales share of the headquarters within the year. Choose some smart and capable ones from the old sales managers of the sales department to set up direct stores in various cities. Externally, the agency license of agents around the country will be withdrawn, and those who are willing to continue to cooperate will be directly converted into direct stores.
The person in charge of the store is a regular employee of the company, and is paid salary and bonus according to the actual work performance. In this way, the market price of Mingchang equipment can be compressed to the same price as Bang Shun equipment, and the group still has considerable profits to make.
As soon as the news came out, agents everywhere blackened their faces, jumped to their feet and scolded Chen Mingchang for being ungrateful, and scolded Wu Ke for being a dog. But the internal staff of the sales department are boiling, and they have the opportunity to go to other places to take charge of themselves, which is the dream of many young people.
Some young workers in the park also see hope, no matter how high the wages of workers are not as big as the oil and water of sales staff, who doesn't have a dream?
This big change only faced external pressure, but it was blocked back by Chen Mingchang. The agents went in tandem to find Chen Mingchang several times, scolding the street, crying, throwing things, cutting robes, and breaking righteousness, and all kinds of means were used. But Chen Mingchang was iron-hearted this time, and he had no choice.
"Lao Chen, we are comrades-in-arms! Have you forgotten our friendship? How did Mingchang Equipment's reputation come about? Isn't it a few brothers who helped you market it together? You can't do this!"
"Yes, Lao Chen, I have been friends with you for thirty years, didn't we cooperate very well in the past?
If we don't sell Mingchang equipment, do you think Mingchang Group can survive?"
Chen Mingchang closed his eyes for a long time until a grumpy person poured a cup of tea on his face. Chen Mingchang opened his eyes and looked at everyone coldly:
"You complain about your suffering, but do you know the suffering of the group? If I don't do this today, it won't take half a year for the Mingchang Group to close down. Tell me, what should I do? You don't act as an agent for Mingchang anymore, you can still sell other products, but if Mingchang goes out of business, what will I and the tens of thousands of workers of my group eat?"
"Lao Chen, is it so serious? Who have you been bluffed by, right? With such a good equipment for twenty years, how can it be said that it will not work?"
"Oh, Lao Chen, when you say that, I think of one thing. A month ago, two young people came to me and asked me to represent a company called Bang Shun for equipment, and the price was ok, but I didn't believe them and sent them away. Now that I think about it, those two young people were very loud at that time, saying that their products would be spread all over the province within a year, and I thought they were bragging. Lao Chen, I've heard of Bang Shun, it's a foreign capital, and Bang Shun in the provincial city has something to do with that foreign investment?"
Chen Mingchang lit a cigarette and said: "Bangshun in the provincial capital is the one invested by foreign capital, and they are here to grab the market in Mingchang." And they are now selling to agents at cost price, to put it bluntly, they want to fight a price war. Mingchang Group is big, but it is not vulnerable to that foreign capital at all. If Mingchang also lowers the price to participate in the war, Mingchang's cash will dry up in half a year. ”
Everyone was silent for a long time, but one of them was still not convinced, and said:
"Lao Chen, I understand, you are going to break your arm to survive, but you can't think of other ways?
"What's the solution, you can talk about it, and I'll invite you to be the vice president!"
"The equipment materials are replaced with cheap ones, and the processes that can be saved are saved, and the cost goes down, are you afraid of the price war?"
Chen Mingchang raised his hand and threw the ashtray on the table and threw it at the man's feet, and the man's face changed: "Old Chen, you?"
"This method is up to you! Isn't this a smashing of Mingchang's brand? If you cut corners, will Mingchang be able to get to where it is today? Today is over, I will put my words here, I will not issue your agency license again, you have a lot of products to choose from. If you have to continue to cooperate, there is only one way to go direct/sell!"
After that, Chen Mingchang got up and entered the study, and everyone looked at each other. If Chen Mingchang really made up his mind, they actually had nothing to do. In the past, it was okay to play the emotional card, but now when it comes to Chen Mingchang's vital interests, feelings are not worth a few dollars.
Everyone got up and left helplessly, some sighed, some shook their heads, and some wiped their tears. Yes, it's been a relationship for more than 20 years, and it's going to be broken. Not to mention the loss of interests, will the comrades-in-arms still be able to get together when they get together in the future?
But what can be done? According to Chen Mingchang, there is really no way to do it now. If you really have to drag people, in the future, if the group really goes out of business, then the corpses will be everywhere, you can't drag people down like this, right?
The selection of young workers and the expatriate sales manager are carried out simultaneously, and everything is in order. The sales department moved to occupy two floors directly on the upper floors of the group building. Directly-operated stores have opened in various places, and so far, the effect is not bad.
The sales department has grown a lot, and when you walk into the hall, you will definitely regard the sales department as a medium-sized company if you don't know the situation.
The young people selected from the factory are full of energy, in stark contrast to the office workers who sit in the office for a long time. The atmosphere of the sales department has changed, and everyone is scrambling to learn the business and learn sales skills. There is no need to arrange or supervise, orders are soaring, and even the figures who like to drink water and coffee on weekdays have disappeared.
Chen Mingchang was overjoyed after visiting the sales department, patted Wu Ke on the shoulder and said: "Very good! The current sales department is really reborn, you are a doer!"
"Mr. Chen, according to the current momentum, the sales share of the headquarters can be increased to more than 50% in three months. ”
