"Hello, I'm Xiong Baizhou from Zhoumei Electric, and I made an appointment with you in the morning."

At the front desk of Gree Group, Xiong Baizhou smiled brightly.

The front desk lady looked up, her face flushed a little.

Although Xiong Baizhou and Sheng Yuanqing are young, they are very masculine and have upright facial features. Especially Sheng Yuanqing, wearing a suit can also wear the taste of "Little Brother", the top button of the white shirt is not fastened, but the rest of the place is neat, and it looks serious and uninhibited.

"Sure enough, the suit is the dress that best reflects personal temperament, Sheng Yuanqing, this kid will be a bastard in the future," Xiong Baizhou first labeled this subordinate general.

"Please wait, Manager Qian from the sales department will come to receive you later" The front desk lady said this, and hurriedly buried her head in the document.

Sheng Yuanqing stood in front of the glass door and looked left and right: "Brother Xiong, Gree's pomp seems to be very big, so many factories."

Xiong Baizhou smiled: "That's why we have to pay attention to it, there is government support behind this company."

Gree Group was formally established in 1991, several small factories were established under the leadership of the Xiangshan State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, which belonged to the vanguard of the roots.

If a person wants to succeed, it is nothing more than the right time, place and people, and the development of the enterprise also needs such an environment, so for Gree:

Tianshi is just after the development of reform and opening up, the market's acceptance of air conditioning is getting stronger and stronger, although the proportion of personal air conditioning is still very small, but from the perspective of development, this proportion will increase more and more;

The location is the support of the Xiangshan government, if you want land, you want money to give money, and you want policies to have policies, which Jiang Wanmeng can see that he can cry sadly;

The combination of Zhu Jianghong and Dong Mingzhu is very harmonious, and Gree has developed step by step from the development period, breakthrough period, transformation and upgrading period, and diversified innovation period, even if there have been mistakes, but the leadership has been adjusted very quickly.

In contrast, Midea has directly stepped from the "breakthrough period" to the "diversified innovation period", omitting the "transformation and upgrading period", which cannot be said to be a wrong decision in the current situation, but it has never been able to master the core cutting-edge technology in the future.

"Manager Xiong is really young, which is impressive," a man about 35 years old said as he walked, "I am Qian Ningtie from Gree's sales department."

"Mr. Qian is too polite, we are cheeky and uninvited guests, don't be surprised" Xiong Baizhou snorted.

"Zhou Mei Electric has heard about it, in fact, Gree Company also has the intention of cooperation, and it happened that Manager Xiong came to inspect this time, so we will first set the cooperation framework."

Qian Ningtie should have done his homework, knew the reputation of Zhou Mei Electric Appliances in Yuecheng, and felt that Xiong Baizhou had a motive to buy this inspection.

"The guest is as he pleases, I will listen to Manager Qian's arrangement" Xiong Baizhou was full of spring breeze, and handed the ball back to Qian Ningtie.

Qian Ning Tie was stunned for a moment, didn't Zhou Mei Electric say that he wanted to investigate, how could he say that he would arrange it himself.

"Then let's go to the production workshop to have a look first, and then go to the reception room to have a cup of tea" Qian Ningtie's reaction was not slow.

Xiong Baizhou smiled and nodded, the main purpose of his coming over this time was to get in touch with Gree first and touch Gree's bottom line.

A few people walked and talked, and Qian Ningtie found that the young manager of Zhou Mei Electric actually had a deep study of the market: "The current air conditioning market is mixed, and the people can't afford to buy this thing, and the main users of air conditioners are social groups and government departments."

Qian Ningtie put gold on his face: "So the existence of Gree is to solve these problems, so that every ordinary person can enjoy air conditioning in summer."

Xiong Baizhou shook his head: "Now Gree has no brand awareness, and the largest share in the market is still foreign air conditioners, I think Gree's task is still very heavy."

Brand awareness was still a new term in 1994, and Qian Ningtie chewed it repeatedly and felt very chewy.

······

"Brand awareness?" In the office of the manager of the sales department of Gree, Dong Mingzhu is wearing a professional suit, her facial features are not beautiful, but she is very energetic, especially her eyes are very sharp, and if she looks at each other when talking, she will feel very oppressive.

"Yes, I also thought this word was very novel at the time, and it seemed to be able to summarize part of the spirit of Gree" Qian Ningtie, who was talking and laughing freely just now, is now a little constrained.

"Where are they now?" Dong Mingzhu's voice was a little hoarse mezzo-soprano.

"I arranged it in the reception room, does Manager Dong need to meet him?"

Dong Mingzhu thought for a while: "It's good to go and see each other, I was having a meeting in Guancheng yesterday, and I happened to meet Li Donglai, and he was full of praise for Zhou Mei's electrical appliances."

Just when they were evaluating Zhou Mei Electric and Xiong Baizhou, Xiong Baizhou was also examining the current Gree.

The current Gree company does not have the courage to diversify into an international company, especially just after a conversation with Qian Ningtie, Xiong Baizhou learned that some of the current high-level leaders of Gree Company were "parachuted" by the leaders of the Xiangshan State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

"If you want to make money, you can't have too much to do with politics, otherwise it will not only be inefficient, but also easy to make some moths," Xiong Baizhou said secretly.

Although the development process of Gree is relatively stable, there are also two twists and turns:

The first time was at the end of 1994, Gree experienced a "collective resignation" of business backbones, which had a sensational impact on Gree;

The second time was in 2004, as the largest channel provider at that time, Gome privately lowered the price of Gree air conditioners, which caused Dong Mingzhu's dissatisfaction, and as a result, one party ordered to "clear Gree", and the other party decided to "stop supplying to Gome".

"Welcome Manager Xiong to our Gree inspection work" Dong Mingzhu pushed the door and entered, taking the lead.

"Manager Dong has a lot of opportunities, it should be Zhou Mei Electric who is disturbed" Xiong Baizhou smiled and pointed out Dong Mingzhu's identity.

"What are you talking about, Zhoumei Electric Appliances I know, if it can bloom everywhere, it will be a big channel business, I should have a good relationship with you" Dong Mingzhu is more direct and to the point to explain the positioning of Zhoumei Electric Appliances.

"Manager Xiong, I just walked around our Gree Company, what do you think" Dong Mingzhu sat beside Xiong Baizhou without any scruples, and someone immediately brought hot tea.

Dong Mingzhu is shorter than Xiong Baizhou, but his momentum is even greater, with a smile on his face, but his body language is aggressive.

And Xiong Baizhou found a small detail, this person said three sentences, but they all had the word "I".

"What a woman with a strong personality and a self-oriented personality."

Xiong Baizhou considered his language and was about to reply when a knock on the door interrupted the exchange.

"Manager Dong, Manager Qian, something happened ······"
