31. Always walk on the road of rejection
Xiong Baizhou came to visit TCL for the third time and was finally invited into Li Donglai's office.
Li Donglai is about 40 years old, not very tall, wears a pair of glasses, and looks very intellectual and elegant.
However, Xiong Baizhou knew that this was just an appearance, Li Donglai had written a published book in 2012, called "The Rebirth of the Eagle", which tells how TCL achieved nirvana and take-off in his hands, Xiong Baizhou happened to read it, and this book describes in detail what a decisive and tenacious leader Li Donglai is.
After the secretary brought Xiong Baizhou in, she didn't leave, but spread out the book to make meeting minutes.
TCL is a joint venture of the collective economy, and the subordinate relationship of the general manager is still under the jurisdiction of the government department, and in order to ensure integrity, the secretary needs to be on the side to take minutes of the meeting when receiving some visitors.
"I'm sorry, the city government has had meetings in the past few days, and I haven't been able to spare time", the first time they met, Li Donglai was still very polite and "lied".
"Manager Li is polite, you are in charge of such a huge group company, and I am already flattered that you can find time to meet", Xiong Baizhou is very cooperative and "lied".
Li Donglai smiled and invited Xiong Baizhou and Liu Daxiang to sit down.
TCL's general manager's room exudes a sense of wealth and magnificence, Liu Daxiang saw such a gorgeous decoration for the first time, and sat on the leather sofa a little sluggish.
"In this way, Zhou Mei's main business scope is to sell all kinds of electrical appliances in the market?" Li Donglai was the first to ask.
"Yes, Zhoumei Electric Appliances is a home appliance retail chain store, and its main function is to carry out reasonable reclassification and sales of household appliance resources under the guidance of the market", Xiong Baizhou replied seriously.
At this time, Xiong Baizhou is the applicant, and Li Donglai is the interviewer.
Li Donglai nodded, looked at the business card and said, "When was Zhoumei Electric Appliances established?"
"We started planning four months ago and officially launched last month," Xiong said.
Xiong Baizhou did not lie, it is true that in the past four months of rebirth, he began to plan and find a sustainable business route, and large home appliance chain stores such as Gome and Suning have always been the main choices.
However, the company, which has only been established for four months, is not very attractive to Li Donglai, although he does not attach much importance to this aspect.
Li Donglai smiled: "The four-month-old company is still very young, just like Mr. Xiong. ”
In the face of this somewhat meaningful ridicule, Xiong Baizhou could only take it as a joke, and replied with a smile: "Although Zhou Mei is young, her advantage is that she has no burden in operation, and she will not worry about someone pulling back, and she can achieve her goal wholeheartedly." ”
Xiong Baizhou's answer also had a hidden meaning, Li Donglai glanced at it, and the thick glasses covered his true thoughts.
"What is Zhoumei's operation process?"
"After the establishment of Zhoumei, the customer's requirements as the first element, respect the allocation of market resources, meet the customer's service requirements, and achieve a win-win situation between manufacturers, customers and Zhoumei."
These words sound beautiful, and even put forward the concept of "respecting market allocation", which is a decade ahead, but for Li Donglai, these are empty words, he is a businessman, and businessmen just need to make a profit.
Li Donglai and Guo Xiaosheng are two different types of businessmen, Guo Xiaosheng has achieved financial freedom and life value, the accumulation of finance is more reasonable in many cases, and pays more attention to the shaping and development of corporate brands.
It can be seen from the construction of the Yinxin Building, the investment and output ratio of the Yinxin Building is a loss, but Henderson Land is still willing to complete the completion with quality and quantity, because this is the business card of Henderson to enter the mainland.
But Li Donglai is different, TCL's corporate positioning is a joint venture, or a joint venture with the government as the main body, if there is no achievement, the replacement is a matter of minutes.
"Manager Xiong is direct, what can Zhou Mei Electric bring to TCL?", Li Donglai will not make a long detour, and his time is also precious.
Xiong Baizhou thought that it was really a hawkish character, coughed, and said: "The quality of TCL's color TV is very good, and it can occupy a large share in the market, Zhou Meidian ······"
Xiong Baizhou talks a lot, but the core always can't get around the "empty glove white wolf".
Li Donglai was very shrewd, Xiong Baizhou only said half of it, and he interrupted: "What do you mean, do you mean to let TCL hand over the color TV to your store first, and then give us the payment when you sell the money?"
Xiong Baizhou explained: "We are confident that the color TV market will operate well, and it is guaranteed to bring objective profits to TCL." ”
Li Donglai glanced at the secretary who was taking notes.
The secretary immediately understood and said, "Mr. Li, there will be a party committee leadership meeting in the factory soon, please attend on time." ”
Li Donglai immediately stood up and said, "I'm sorry, there will be a lot of lately, and we will talk again next time if we have the opportunity." ”
I still want to take the goods first and then pay, thinking that you are a friendship store in Yuecheng!
At this time, Li Donglai had already labeled Xiong Baizhou as a "liar", and he was still a liar with in-depth research on the market.
With such an obvious eviction order, Xiong Baizhou naturally saw it, but he didn't give up, and said directly before going out: "Manager Li, TCL is now suffering from internal and external troubles, the backlog of color TVs in the warehouse is serious, and there are other people in the warehouse, so it is better to make a desperate bet, believe in our Zhou Mei, Zhou Mei's corporate text is a shared responsibility." ”
Li Donglai was shocked in his heart, and his first reaction was that someone in the top management of TCL was informing, but if you think about it carefully, it is impossible, if there is another conspiracy, you will not let the young Xiong Baizhou come over as a lobbyist, which leader in the government will approve a white slip casually, Li Donglai can still call the shots and "give" dozens of color TVs.
Even though he had doubts in his heart, Li Donglai still did not change his mind, and he did not even change the label of Xiong Baizhou, he was just a liar who looked at the problem from a deeper angle and had better eloquence, and this kind of person existed a lot in the 90s.
"In the future, I have to polish my eyes a little and let the liar in and waste my time", Li Donglai scolded the secretary harshly.
The secretary was wronged and didn't dare to say anything to Li Donglai, but he aimed his anger at the security guard: "What the hell is going on with you, who let it in without seeing it clearly." ”
The security guard suffered an unwarranted disaster, so he had to vent his anger on Xiong Baizhou and Liu Daxiang.
"What a liar to be at a young age"
"It doesn't look like a dog, and he's wearing a suit."
"I actually went to worship Li Donglai's pier, he had to leave himself, his vision was really bad"
······
In a mockery, Xiong Baizhou walked out of the TCL gate with Liu Daxiang.
"Brother Xiong, what now?"
"Don't do anything, continue to look for Li Donglai tomorrow. ”
This embarrassing visit and ridicule made Liu Daxiang very frustrated, although the times are very beautiful, but also very realistic, in the economic system, getting and giving is the eternal equivalent exchange.
Now, Xiong Baizhou and Liu Daxiang's dignity is to give, but whether they can "get" is unknown.
Xiong Baizhou and Liu Daxiang went to the school gate to solve the lunch problem again, in addition to the cheap price, another reason is that there is no other place to eat nearby.
In the afternoon, Xiong Baizhou just came to the door of TCL, and he ushered in the sarcasm of the security guards, how ugly the words were, Liu Daxiang couldn't help but go up to fight, these security guards were worried that they had nothing to do all day, and they had fun to find, so they provoked and showed the baton on their waists.
Xiong Baizhou pulled Liu Daxiang aside and said, "Before you came out, how did you promise me that you could endure any hardship, but now you can't do it." “
Liu Daxiang had tears in the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't hold back and didn't flow out: "Brother Xiong, I can suffer anything, but they are scolding." “
"You have to endure the scolding!", Xiong Baizhou said heavily.
Liu Daxiang stopped arguing and nodded silently.
Xiong Baizhou took Liu Daxiang to a position a little far away from the TCL gate, sat directly on the ground, and quietly looked at the TCL gate.
The truth is in the hands of a few.
Xiong Baizhou is counted as one, because he was reborn and knows the general trend of the economy;
Li Donglai is not counted yet, because he didn't think carefully about what Xiong Baizhou said, and when he reacts, he may be able to count one;
Secretaries, security guards, including Liu Daxiang, will not understand what the word "tidemaker" is.
