Chapter 3: Section Chief Joe appears

As the sun sets, two bicycles along the boulevard are unlocked, slid into the non-motorized lane, and rode slowly.

"Qiao Jin, go to the vegetable market to buy some meat and cook noodles at night, right?"

"Okay, eating noodles saves time and trouble!"

Jiang Chen rode forward and walked in parallel with Qiao Jin, "Next Monday, people above the supervisor level will go to the company's headquarters for a monthly meeting, you have just served as the section leader, and several department managers will definitely want to test your ability." In the past two days to prepare for this meeting, is the amount of jΓΉ you received very large? I see you're going to be busy until late when you get home from work these days......"

"Well, product management and customer management, both are the focus of the company, no matter which number is very large, it is very important to find the right entry point."

Jiang Chen looked at Qiao Jin, "So, do you have an idea?" ”

Stopping at a red light, Qiao Jin smiled, "At the first monthly performance sharing meeting, if I haven't thought about the direction yet, how can I have the leisure to eat noodles?" ”

"It's not because Deputy Yu is the shopkeeper!" Jiang Chen kicked the pedal hard to vent his anger, "The merchandise operation classroom was originally directly responsible for the sub-store, but since Qiao Jin took over the toy, does the sub-store Yu have guidance for you?" I'm afraid that others don't know that she has a good relationship with Xu Wei, the head of the supplies section, and the month-on-month decline in supplies sales is just an understatement, and the growth of toys and clothing is still put forward with various requirements......"

"Wouldn't it be better for Chen Dian to give direct guidance?" Qiao Jin's tone was indifferent and disapproving, "Jiang Chen, it's good that you can't manage me at all as a deputy store, why bother to be angry?" ”

Jiang Chen forgot his dissatisfaction because of Qiao Jin's words, "Qiao Jin, you are really straight enough to speak, it's really bad!" But I appreciate it! ”

Parking the car smoothly, Qiao Jin raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chen, "Then you buy meat, I buy noodles, OK?" ”

"Qiao Jin, you are the section leader, supervisor level, and you still take advantage of ordinary people like me?" Jiang Chen protested while locking the car, but in fact, Qiao Jin had all the money for the meat and egg noodles. There was also a cool popsicle, and Jiang Chen was really in no bad mood.

From the internship period to the graduation contract, as classmates who chose the same company, Qiao Jin and Jiang Chen rented a two-bedroom house near the company together and took care of each other.

Just like Jiang Chen said, Qiao Jin is one of the few fresh college graduates who has such a goal and is not confused in the face of career choice and employment. The firmness and determination at the beginning created Qiao Jin's undistracted work attitude, and Chen Fei, the manager of DK Xuhui, had an unexpectedly keen sense of smell for talents, which made Qiao Jin a legend of the DK store that officially took over the toy classroom in August as soon as he signed the contract in July.

The internship period of the section leader, that is, the assessment period is three months, and this monthly meeting is equivalent to an interview for Qiao Jin, so that the managers of various departments in the headquarters can recognize their faces, and inevitably, they will be indirectly examined for their strength.

It doesn't matter, because Qiao Jin only sees every test as an opportunity to prove his ability. You don't usually need to publicize it, and when the company wants to know about it, just show yourself authentically.

Qiao Jin cooked, Jiang Chen washed the dishes, and after tidying up, Jiang Chen knocked on Qiao Jin's open door and placed a small khaki box on the computer on Qiao Jin's desk.

"Give your wireless mouse as a cheering gift!"

Qiao Jin's gaze shifted from the computer screen to the gift in his hand, and he smiled, "It's really hearty, then I'll accept it even with cheering!" ”

Jiang Chen nodded, "Is there a place I can help?" ”

"Well...... The toys and clothing classrooms are very different in terms of product structure. I'm almost done.,Chen Dian has built it twice.,Revise it again tonight.,Tomorrow if Chen Dian thinks it's OK.,This is the final version.。 ”

"Then I won't bother you, rest early after you're done, and I'll go to work tomorrow!"

Qiao Jin made an OK gesture, "Good night!" ”

After several all-night efforts, summarized into a 13-page PPT, and sent it to the assistant general manager in the form of an email, Qiao Jin was relaxed.

One night before the monthly meeting, Qiao Jin lay on his back on the bed, thinking about the few times he met Yan Xin, and the pen cap was opened and closed to play with the fountain pen that Yan Xin had inadvertently left, Qiao Jin had a good sleep and got the best rest and state.

The city that wakes up at the same time as the rising sun, the first subway that starts slowly, the gradually crowded streets, and the hurried crowd are all the beginning of this morning of vitality. Ten minutes' drive from the store, Jiang Chen had already ridden to work. And Qiao Jin, after running back in the morning and taking a shower, finished breakfast with milk and bread, and then hummed a song and prepared to go out. The meeting was at two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still time for one qiΔ“.

With plenty of time, Qiao Jin stepped on the subway in a leisurely mood like a short trip, came to the downstairs of the company, entered the elevator with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and pressed the button on the 15th floor.

"Qiao Jin?! Why are you here so early, it's only half past ten......"

Qiao Jin stepped forward and gave Zhang Li a hug. Zhang Li is the director of the training department, and every year fresh college graduates are directly responsible for training and teaching, which is equivalent to the head teacher of a social class, and there is no student who has a bad relationship with Zhang Li, especially Qiao Jin, who is also from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Sister Li, didn't I come to see you early, are you busy?"

"It's okay, you little guys have all graduated and signed a contract, and I don't have to worry a lot. You sit down for a while and eat together at noon! ”

Zhang Li brought a chair and put it next to her desk, Qiao Jin put down her bag, and looked around while sitting down, "Is Mr. Yan in the company today?" ”

"I went out to talk to the marketing director, and I guess I won't be back until the afternoon meeting...... What's wrong, you're looking for a boss? Zhang Li looked at Qiao Jin, "Speaking of meeting in the afternoon, are you nervous?" ”

Qiao Jin smiled slyly and playfully, "I was nervous a second ago, but I'm not nervous at this moment." It's really afternoon, it's hard to say. ”

"You unbeaten!" Zhang Li lifted the text clip and knocked it on Qiao Jin's head, "It's good to be so confident all the time!" ”

Qiao Jin smiled and made an obedient gesture, turned his chair and retreated to the side to read the corporate journal, which did not affect Zhang Li's work. From time to time, I think about what kind of person Yanxin is seeing and who I will be with for lunch. The eyes fell, the title page of the journal, a short paragraph of the general manager's message, is handwritten in the heart, between the lines is delicate, and the words are exquisite. Qiao Jin read it carefully, and the power conveyed by Yanxin's pen is not like turbulent waves, but it contains the endless wisdom of dripping water through stones, which makes people want to stop and go deep. The more you know, the more so.

Approaching the meeting time, employees were busy coming in and out of the door of the large conference room. Qiao Jin sat on the sofa in the central cafΓ© from afar, reading the content he was about to report again. If you need to come forward, you will definitely spend a lunch, and as Zhang Li said, Yanxin will not return to the company until the afternoon.

"Mr. Yan, the managers of various departments, and the general managers of all stores have arrived, and the meeting will start on time at two o'clock."

"Okay, buy me a cup of coffee and put it on the conference table."

Qiao Jin raised his head, Yan Xin, who was wearing a black suit, walked by, his slender figure was put on a suit, and any place was impeccable and just right. The hair is coiled up, more fresh and neat. It's just a side face, and it's enough to be so delicate that people don't have time to blink.

In a hurry, he didn't notice Qiao Jin again. And Qiao Jin was also used to it, looking at Yan Xin's back and watching her walk away.

"Above, the procurement department report ends. Next, Qiao Jin, the director of the toy section of Xuhui store, made a special report. ”

When the large-screen projection was replaced with the PPT homepage that Qiao Jin made day and night, Qiao Jin's body suddenly gathered the attention of everyone present. Catching up with Yan Xin's eyes, Qiao Jin smiled and picked up the page-turning pen, walked from his seat to the stage, said hello briefly, did not make unnecessary details, and directly cut to the topic of the report.

"Based on the existing store experience experience around inventory, I have made the following derivative thinking."

Qiao Jin switched ppt, and a large number jΓΉ jumped out.

"This is the 20-day inventory list of the Xuhui store, covering 4 categories, as a flagship store, the sales number is indeed very beautiful, but it is ......"

As Qiao Jin's style of speech changed, the conclusion table output behind Dashu jΓΉ attracted everyone's attention. It is a general table of all the current single products in the Xuhui store that are not sold, not enough to support the sales quantity, and the inventory is too high, and the products are subdivided in three dimensions, which presents some unexpected problems.

"The best-selling Xuhui store accounts for as much as 60% of the number of items that are not sold for 20 days, which means that 60% of the products are displayed in our store, but it is only a waste of display area without generating any value, and even occupying the company's inventory turnover...... Among them, the number of products with over-stocked inventory overlaps by 35%, which means that just by adjusting the inventory structure, we can increase at least 35% more value-generating goods, and the sales directly driven by it are, ideally, at least 800,000 per month, based on conservative estimates. ”

As soon as Qiao Jin's voice fell, a glance swept over, the purchasers couldn't sit still, and Yanxin, who was in the middle, also happened to look at Qiao Jin, "The analysis is in place, continue." ”

Qiao Jin looked at the Chen store and continued, "After the problem was exposed, in the process of communicating with the store manager and purchasing, the following four improvement directions were preliminarily obtained. ”

After the first 3 pages of PPT, Qiao Jin's focus is on the solution. The problem is very big, but Qiao Jin is like peeling off the cocoon, listing the general direction and small details, which are used to show that the inventory structure is in a hurry to adjust the problem can be carried out in an orderly manner in the near future, and the results will be reflected week by week. There is no need for drastic reforms, which is good news for stores and purchasing.

After the seemingly sharp spearhead poked out, it was silently dissolved by Qiao Jin. The faces of the buyers tended to improve, and Yan Xin and Chen Dian also showed a look of approval to Qiao Jin, Yan Xin was slightly subtle, and Chen Dian was directly affirmed.

Qiao Jin is now up-and-coming, and his just right wisdom is also reflected in Qiao Jin.
