Chapter 159: The Beginning of Rumors
Haitian Science and Trade successfully won the Xiheyuan project, the people in the marketing department were very happy, and the people in the sales department were also very happy. Of course, the reasons for their happiness are different.
At the regular meeting of the sales department on Friday, Shen Taian started a tirade focusing on this matter as soon as he came up. Such as "the marketing department has successfully opened up the situation", "the company's new profit model has been successful" and so on, are some praise. Several sales executives had a look on their faces that they almost thought it was a company-wide meeting rather than an internal sales meeting.
The organizational structure of the sales department is very loose, and the salespeople are quite indifferent to the collective honor of the department, let alone the company. Although when they are outside, people sometimes proudly say to relatives and friends, "I work at Haitian!" If you meet an employee of a bigger, better company, Zhun Bao won't mention this stubble - there's nothing to show for it, so why do you say it?
Sales executives are just doing better business, but their ideological awareness is not much better than that of ordinary salesmen. But their minds were more lively, and they could understand the deep-seated intention of Mr. Shen's words.
At meetings of all kinds, speakers will always say high-sounding rhetoric, which doesn't make much practical sense, but it's not exactly nonsense. On the one hand, the inclusion of such content will give people the feeling of "superiority", which will raise the level of speech, and on the other hand, although most people listen to it drowsily, it is only because these people are not of high quality, and this kind of content is intended for a few high-level attendees.
The special audience at this regular meeting was naturally Mo Fan. Shen Tai'an's opening remarks were mainly for Mo Fan - at least the rest of the sales executives thought so.
The relationship between Mo Fan and Lu Xiaorong is naturally one of the reasons, the so-called not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha. But that's not the point, otherwise you just need to be polite when talking about the marketing department, and you don't need to sing a high profile about the performance over there.
The point is that Mo Fan's identity is no longer what it used to be.
In the latest developments on the company's intranet, there is a news about the bidding for the Xiheyuan project, which is very short, but the content is worth studying.
As mentioned above, the company sent people to participate in the bid opening meeting: Mo Fan, Lu Xiaorong, and Yang Liyang.
If one thinks that this sorting is just random, or that it was due to the impromptu negligence of the publisher, the two photos attached to this message serve as another footnote.
Photo 1: Mo Fan sits at the table and signs the document with the representative of the tenderer. Photo 2: Mo Fan holds the document, shakes hands with the representative of the tenderer and smiles.
So everyone understood that Mo Fan went to the bid opening meeting not to play soy sauce, but to sing the leading role.
But everyone doesn't understand, why Mo Fan?
When there is a doubt, there are naturally people who explore the question, and there is always no shortage of such good deeds in the workplace.
Out of nowhere, a gossip flew out, saying that Mo Fan was a relative of the company's big boss's family, and this blood relationship was not far away, either a nephew or a nephew. Earlier, Mo Fan entered the company, not showing his face, just to mix up some qualifications and experience. Now that the time is ripe, he will jump up step by step, and it is estimated that he will rise to the high position of vice president soon.
There is reliable information that Mo Fan's identity to attend the bid opening meeting is the company's deputy general manager. The fact that no official appointment documents have been seen now suggests that it is only a matter of time.
At first glance, this rumor is very nonsense, and it is also very bloody. But if we use this as evidence to deduce many previous things, everyone is surprised to find that those originally incredible things have reasonable explanations.
For example, why did Mr. Lin find Mo Fan as soon as he came to the company, the two looked very familiar - the two of them were relatives or young, maybe they were cousins and brothers, and it was not normal if they didn't know each other.
For example, why Mo Fan's performance in the past has been rubbish, and suddenly it broke out - with strong backing support, it is not easy to do some customers. The big boss needs you to break out, and of course you can.
Another example is why Mo Fan has not been afraid of Shen Tai'an, the end of Mr. Shen and Mo Fan against him is ugly, and then he is kind to Mo Fan - the people of the big boss's family, of course Mr. Shen can't afford to offend.
In addition, Lu Xiaorong, as the most promising sales executive in the company at that time, actually dragged Mo Fan, a muddy man who couldn't support the wall, and must have known Mo Fan's identity and knew that this was a golden beetle. Later, everyone knows that Lu Xiaorong has reached the sky in one step, and now she is the director of the marketing department, and this investment is quite worthwhile.
Although no one talked about these things openly in front of Mo Fan, how could there be any secrecy about rumors and the like, not to mention that now that Mo Fan's "worth" has risen sharply, some people with special purposes are very willing to report this rumor in the company to him.
To say that Mo Fan is not angry at all at all at these rumors is false, because this is not only a slander against him, but also a slander against Lu Xiaorong. When the two first started dating, Mo Fan was an authentic proletarian, and he relied on Lu Xiaorong to help with several meals, but now he said that Lu Xiaorong was a sugar daddy gold worshipper, which was really infuriating.
But there is no way to compare the truth of such a thing as rumors, once you are serious, others will take it as true.
Although Haitian Group is known for its strict and efficient management, such a large enterprise always has some related households, as the so-called water is clear, there are no fish. Like Zheng Hong of Haitian Electronics' Operations Department, his skills are ordinary, but he became a supervisor by virtue of his aunt's relationship. It can be seen that it is not unreasonable for people to have such speculations.
Fortunately, Mo Fan has never cared about this kind of rumors, and Lu Xiaorong is also very indifferent to this, so let it go. Anyway, those tongue-chewing guys didn't take long to jump. When their jobs are in jeopardy, I don't know if they are still interested in gossiping about these things.
The root cause of these rumors is naturally the news on the company's intranet. I don't have any opinions on this Mo Fan, and sometimes I have to come out when I need to. He hopes that those competitors will have any unacceptable means to come to him, so that Lu Xiaorong can do her own job with peace of mind.
Shen Tai'an's speech came to an end, and the supervisors gave a round of applause, but the focus of their eyes was on Mo Fan, who already regarded him as the company's senior leader.
Of course, Mo Fan also clapped his hands, and nodded involuntarily, thinking that Mr. Shen's speech was very level. I believe that if Shen Tai'an takes the civil service exam and goes to the officialdom, I am afraid he will be even more like a fish in water. To be able to speak in such a coherent manner and in close connection with the general trend of the company's development requires a certain level of leadership.
It was an unintentional move, but in the eyes of Chen Jianjun, Jiang Mao, and Lu Yifang, the three supervisors, he interpreted an unusual content: Look, Mo Fan is already quite a leader now.
Shen Tai'an waited for a few subordinates to stop applauding and said: "Of course, the results of the marketing department are gratifying, but our sales department has not been held back. As of today, our overall performance has reached 28 million, and we have set a new record!"
The directors applauded again, this time with much more enthusiasm than before. It can be seen that for the same thing, the effect is very different depending on the mood. At the same time, I also feel that Mr. Shen's previous words were indeed not given in vain, if he hadn't praised the marketing department first, I am afraid that he would be embarrassed to be so elated.
As you know, the performance of the marketing department this month is the project of Xiheyuan: 10.8 million, far less than the sales department. Although the month is almost a week away, the results of the contest are actually out, and 50% of the additional monthly sales prizes are beckoning.
Mo Fan's sales championship this month is also stable, and the gap with the second place is so big that he has no illusions at all. As a result, he will receive an additional prize of 15,000. However, it is foreseeable that the sales department will basically not be able to do the marketing department next month, and if he is still the sales champion at that time, he will be deducted 15,000 bonuses. It's been leveled back and forth, and there's really nothing to be happy about.
Since there is no sadness or joy, his reaction is relatively flat. In the eyes of others, it can't help but give people the feeling that he doesn't care too much about the bonus.
The people of the big boss's family, how can they look at this little money. But you can't see it, we can like it. Please hurry up and become the vice president, don't stay in the sales department, give up the position of sales champion, maybe it will be my turn next month.
Shen Tai'an made a look forward to the future work, and then let everyone discuss how to further stimulate the enthusiasm of the salesman to ensure the competitive advantage with the marketing department. It's a cliché, and it's almost every regular meeting, but it's rarely substantively moved. This time it's the same, everyone just thinks it's grinding their lips.
At the end of the discussion, Chen Jianjun came up with a new idea. She felt that the sales department organized too few collective activities, so it lacked cohesion, so it was better to have a group dinner at the end of the month to enhance everyone's communication. As for the activity funds, you might as well take a part of the extra prize money you get, take more and give less.
When everyone heard it, they all felt that it made sense. Although Mo Fan didn't think that having two dinners would change the situation of the sales department, he would not go against the grain at this time, and he also agreed.
Since it involves financial issues, this is taking money out of other people's pockets, so it is necessary to consult the opinions of the majority of salesmen. However, I believe that it is not a big problem, because this time the sales award benefits all salesmen, even the last one in line can get an extra thousand yuan, if even one hundred and ten yuan is not willing to pay, it is too much, and it will be unanimously condemned.
Chen Jianjun couldn't help but be very happy when he saw that everyone agreed with her proposal, and said: "If everyone is in high spirits, you might as well organize it once a month." It doesn't have to be a meal, it's okay to travel or something. ”
Shen Tai'an nodded and said, "I think it's okay." ”
