Chapter 631: Bao Chengming's agent
"Mr. Feng, you are really willing to do it, more than 200,000 yuan in commission, don't want it if you don't want it. ”
Outside the exhibition hall, Bao Chengming complained to Feng Xiaochen with a bitter face. In the past few years, his business has become bigger and bigger, his heart is wide, his body is fat, his face has become round, and it is still developing horizontally, and there are signs of becoming a horizontal oval. Such a fat face, coupled with a deliberately pretended bitter appearance, looks so joyful.
Feng Xiaochen knew that Bao Chengming's complaints were true and false, the real part, of course, was watching a commission of more than 200,000 US dollars disappear, which was really distressing, as for the fake part, that is, Bao Chengming is already a rich man now, and he has been in the circle for a long time, and his vision is much higher than when he was a small civil servant in the Jinnan Branch, and he knows how to make a big profit by suffering small losses.
Bao Chengming's Chenyu Information Company is a subsidiary of Chenyu Group, Feng Xiaochen accounts for the majority of it, and Bao Chengming only occupies 30% of the equity, in his own words, he is a person who works for Feng Xiaochen. But even this 30% equity has made Bao Chengming a multimillionaire, not to mention the intangible assets such as contacts accumulated in this position.
Bao Chengming understands very well that he can be so successful because of Feng Xiaochen's guidance and support. For example, this time the group came to Munich to participate in the exhibition, how much profit can be earned or secondary, just the relationship made in the process will be of great help to the company's future development.
Feng Xiaochen was able to support the company because of his position in the field of equipment. If Feng Xiaochen can maintain his current position, or even go further and move to a higher position, the benefits to the company will undoubtedly be greater. If he wants to get a better future, he must hold Feng Xiaochen's thick leg tightly, and at the same time strive to help this thick leg become thicker, preferably to become a golden pillar and a golden mountain. If sacrificing some commissions can allow Feng Xiaochen to get more political achievements, Bao Chengming will not refuse.
Feng Xiaochen knew that Bao Chengming was a smart person, and he was able to understand the truth of this, and he just smiled at Bao Chengming's complaints, and comforted: "Old Bao, don't stare at this immediate interest, as long as this exhibition can achieve results, there will be other exhibitions in the future, you have to organize enterprises to participate in the exhibition, can everyone not rush to it? Besides, didn't you originally plan to lose money and make money in this exhibition, but now you won't lose money, right? ”
Bao Chengming really immediately turned his crying face into a smiling face, and the conversion speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping. He said happily: "Mr. Feng is right, my old bag is just a mouse's eye." You initially asked me to pay for everyone to participate in the exhibition, and I was a little unhappy. Now it seems that Mr. Feng is still wise, and in this exhibition, the company not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money. I'll just say, how could Mr. Feng's idea be a loss?"
"Lao Bao, you really deserve to be engaged in intelligence, with a three-inch tongue, you can simply bring the dead to life. Feng Xiaochen commented with a smile, and then asked, "Why, is it possible for you to make a profit now?"
Bao Chengming said: "Just the sales intention signed so far, there are already more than 50 million US dollars, I can mention more than 500,000 commissions, and some uncertain, it is estimated that there will be more than 50 million in the end, so that we can finally recover at least 1 million commissions, and the cost of this time is enough." There are still a few days left in the exhibition, and I estimate that there should be new purchase intentions, and these additional commissions will all be our profits. ”
Feng Xiaochen was a little surprised, and asked: "Is it only more than 50 million that has been signed? Why is the result of my statistics more than 80 million, is it that you missed the calculation?"
Bao Chengming said: "Mr. Feng, you forgot, we don't take commissions for Lao Yang's sales, they come to Munich to pay their own money." To say that Yang Haifan, this kid is a chicken thief, he knows that he can make money here, and he doesn't agree to join my group, he just doesn't want me to earn his commission. ”
"I see. Feng Xiaochen also reacted, Bao Chengming's statistical caliber is different from him, as the general manager of the equipment industry company, he is concerned about the sales of the entire pavilion, and Bao Chengming is concerned about the commission he can get, so only those enterprises funded by Chen Yu Information Company to Germany are counted. Yang Haifan's Chenyu Construction Machinery Company came at his own expense, so naturally he didn't have to pay a commission to Bao Chengming. In fact, the reason why Yang Haifan chose to pay for himself was also because he was afraid that Bao Chengming's burden would be too heavy, and he wanted to help him spread some expenses, but he didn't expect the sales situation to be so good, which made Bao Chengming a little puzzled.
"I was surprised to be able to achieve sales of more than 80 million this time. Feng Xiaochen said, "To be honest, before coming out, I thought we could make a few orders, and I was very optimistic about the sales of 1,000,000 and 8 million, and my purpose was mainly to bring everyone to brush up on their presence." At first, I asked the company to pay for the group, and I also saved the idea of losing money, and I always felt sorry for your old bag. ”
"Mr. Feng, what are you talking about, isn't this company yours? How can you be sorry for my old bag?" Bao Chengming said with a blank face, "What do you Mr. Feng want to do, what can the company have two thoughts? At the beginning, you asked me to spend money to build an information network across the country, and later asked me to find agents abroad, which seemed to be a net loss at the time, but it turned out to be a very clever strategy. Seriously, my boss has one word for you Mr. Feng: convinced!"
This kind of stalk of turning two words into one word was actually the first thing Feng Xiaochen said to Bao Chengming and others, and now it has become a routine in his circle. Bao Chengming said this, naturally in order to interrupt himself, so that his compliments to Feng Xiaochen would not be so red. Feng Xiaochen didn't comment too much on Bao Chengming's words, after getting along for a long time, he also knew that Bao Chengming was a person who was used to patting on the back, and he had reached the point where he regarded patting on the back as an instinct in life, maybe this was the habit he developed in the past when he worked in the agency. Although Bao Chengming likes to make sycophants, he does have a set of business management, and he dares to put forward his own insights when it comes to business strategy, and he will not be submissive because Feng Xiaochen is the boss, which is why Feng Xiaochen appreciates him.
Feng Xiaochen didn't go any further on this topic, but grabbed what Bao Chengming just said and asked, "By the way, Lao Bao, how many agents do you have in Europe now?"
"There are direct contacts, about 40 more. Most of these people are professional brokers with a wide network of contacts, and they are able to reach more than 500 more people when needed. In this exhibition, I found two agents in Germany to help, and they found some people in Munich to advertise our China Pavilion everywhere.
"Are these people tight-mouthed?" Feng Xiaochen asked again.
"Let's see how much we can afford. Bao Chengming said honestly, he could feel that what Feng Xiaochen was talking to him was an important matter, so he stopped playing any tricks.
"What's the matter, do you still need hush money?" Feng Xiaochen asked half-jokingly.
Bao Chengming said: "Mr. Feng, you also know that these people who are brokers have always been mothers with milk. As long as we give money, they are willing to do anything, but if others give more money, they will immediately change their ways, and it is not surprising that they will turn their faces against us. However, these people are generally very ethical and will not easily divulge the secrets of their customers. Being a broker depends on credit, and if the credit is not good, they will not be able to do it. ”
"Hmm. Feng Xiaochen nodded, what Bao Chengming said about these brokers sounded a bit contradictory, but it was the truth. The brokers, on the one hand, are very tight-lipped, and on the other hand, they are mercenary, and as long as the bid is high enough, they don't mind selling their temperance. What Feng Xiaochen needs is not absolute dead soldiers, as long as these people don't talk nonsense easily, the concept of absolute loyalty is only suitable for martyrs, and it is too insulting to use this word on these brokers.
"Lao Bao, you can contact your agents in Europe and ask them to come to Munich in the next few days, and I want to meet them. Feng Xiaochen said.
"Do you want them to see you?" asked Bao Chengming.
Feng Xiaochen said: "No, it's a separate meeting, it's best not to let them know each other about what others have met with me." In addition, which industry these people are more familiar with, and what kind of connections they have, you can sort it out in advance and hand it over to me. ”
"I understand!" Bao Chengming replied solemnly. Although he didn't know what Feng Xiaochen's purpose was for meeting these people, Feng Xiaochen asked him to let these people go to meet separately, and he couldn't let others know, so he obviously had to make some secret arrangements. Chen Yu Information Company's business originally had business intelligence, and Bao Chengming was also a person who walked between black and white, how could he not understand such a thing.
The agents that Bao Chengming found were distributed in various countries in Europe, and they didn't know each other, or although they knew each other, they didn't know that the other party was also doing things for Bao Chengming, which is also the moral requirement of professional brokers. Bao Chengming called the agents separately, informed them to go to Munich, and arranged for them to stay in different hotels, so as to avoid the possibility of these people running into each other.
The brokers' response was very fast, and on the day Bao Chengming's phone call came, someone had already arrived, and some people said that they were doing something urgent at hand and would not be able to come over the next day, and Bao Chengming also expressed his understanding and tolerance. After the first batch of people arrived, Bao Chengming arranged the order of reception for them, and then stayed in the hotel himself, and became Feng Xiaochen's secretary, responsible for introducing him to these European agents.
