Chapter 45: The Hardships After Joining the Company

Wu Shuangquan did not shake hands with Yan Wenlong, but responded lightly: "Welcome, welcome." www.biquge.info He walked out of his seat, walked in front of Yan Wenlong, and said, "Come here with me, I have a job for you." ”

Yan Wenlong followed Wu Shuangquan, walked through the long passage, came to the junction of the floors, and stopped at a place near the corner.

Wu Shuangquan pushed open the door, pointed to the seats inside, and said, "The seats outside are full, you can be wronged for the time being, and work here first." In the past two days, you should first read some information to familiarize yourself with the business. I'll send you a statistic table later, and you can help me make an analysis report. ”

Yan Wenlong snorted and watched Wu Shuangquan leave. He closed the door, sat in the cabin, turned on the computer, and went to work.

It was a small room of less than five square meters, full of miscellaneous items and files, except for a desk and a computer near the door. Yan Wenlong stood up and found that the room was very crowded, with nowhere to put his feet, and he would return to his seat without taking three steps.

The room had no windows, was not ventilated, did not transmit light, and had no air conditioning, which made it look particularly stuffy. After a while, Yan Wenlong was covered in sweat and kept fanning himself with paper.

He looked at the computer and noticed a crack in the screen, splitting the screen from left to right. What's even more uncomfortable is that the screen has serious ghosting, which makes Yan Wenlong feel dazzled from time to time.

In addition, Yan Wenlong soon discovered a new problem. The computer often couldn't connect to the Internet, so he unplugged and plugged in the network cable, but the network connection icon in the lower right corner of the screen always didn't light up.

Yan Wenlong had to bend down and press the network cable against the network card interface to keep the network connected state. It took him nearly three minutes, sweating profusely, to receive Wu Shuangquan's email to the local area.

Yan Wenlong let out a long sigh of relief and returned to his seat. At this time, he had a foreboding feeling that the job would be very difficult.

HE OPENED THE EMAIL AND DOUBLE-CLICKED ON AN EXCEL SHEET SENT BY WU SHUANGQUAN. This is a sales statistics table with more than 20,000 pieces of data, which records the sales records and customer lists of all Fangda salespeople in the most recent year.

Yan Wenlong took a closer look and found that although this table has a large amount of data, it only has ten columns horizontally and few dimensions. Some of these dimensions are of little analytical significance, and it is very difficult to do cross-analysis.

In addition, about 20 percent of these data are missing, and there is always a gap in one dimension. When using this kind of non-standard data, many options are left blank when performing perspective analysis, which further increases the difficulty of analysis.

Despite this, Wu Shuangquan put forward high requirements. He asked Yan Wenlong to analyze each salesman, each area, each type of customer, each type of product and other dimensions, focus on the efficiency, and find the real reasons behind the lack of efficiency.

In terms of time, he only gave Yan Wenlong two days, and he would get the report the day after tomorrow.

Yan Wenlong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately started data analysis. HE OPENED EXCEL, TYPED IN TWO FORMULAS, AND PRESSED ENTER.

MINUTES AND SECONDS PASSED, AND HIS EXCEL WAS UNRESPONSIVE, AND THE MOUSE WAS WAITING. After a while, the words "No Response" appeared above the window.

Yan Wenlong didn't dare to abort the program, for fear of damaging the files, and he didn't dare to move around, for fear of increasing the burden on the CPU. He just sat in front of the computer, stupidly waiting for the computer to respond.

Ten minutes later, Yan Wenlong looked at a blank screen, and finally couldn't help it, shouting, "I can't stand it anymore!" ”

He opened the door, went to the IT department on the seventeenth floor, found the internal support group, and said to a chubby guy: "Hello, I am from the sales department on the 19th floor, my name is Yan Wenlong." My computer is so slow that it barely works. Also, my network is also difficult to connect to, I can't receive emails and access the server, can you go and take a look? ”

The little fat brother glanced at Yan Wenlong and asked, "Which seat you sit in, I'll help you take a look in the system first." ”

"By the window, the archives, the network port is 19E45A." Yan Wenlong replied.

The little fat man glanced at it and shrugged: "There, I can't do anything, that computer has been used for many years, it is relatively old, and it can't be repaired, you can only apply for a new computer, and it will be good to wait for the new computer to come down." ”

"As for the network, I'll take a look at the new network cable later. However, I guess it's probably because you have a problem with your motherboard's network port, in which case, you'll have to wait for a new computer to fix it. ”

"Then how do I go through the process of applying for a new computer now, and how long does it take to apply?" Yan Wenlong asked hurriedly.

"Go to your supervisor and ask, applying for a computer will cost you a department fee." The little fat man replied slowly.

Yan Wenlong hurriedly returned to the 19th floor and came to Wu Shuangquan's seat. At this time, Wu Shuangquan was not in his seat, and the computer was turned off, obviously leaving the company.

Yan Wenlong asked a long-haired girl sitting next to him, "Hello, I am a new employee of the department, my name is Yan Wenlong." Excuse me, is Director Wu not here? Do you know how to apply for a new computer? ”

The long-haired girl glanced at Yan Wenlong, ignored it, and continued to be busy with the work in hand.

Yan Wenlong thought that the other party hadn't heard clearly, so he had to speak again: "Hello, I'm Yan Wenlong, I have something to ask." How can I apply for a new computer? ”

The girl frowned and said, "Director Wu is not here, you better wait for him to come back and ask him, I don't know." If you can't wait, ask the general manager of the department. I'm very busy right now! After speaking, he turned his head and ignored Yan Wenlong.

Seeing that the girl couldn't dodge, Yan Wenlong's heart was on fire. But he did his best to hold back the anger and not let it kick in.

He returned to his small room and sat down in front of his computer. He looked around and couldn't help complaining: "What kind of broken company is this, there is such a bad broken computer, and there is such a bad office environment." ”

"Also, the people here don't seem friendly, they're all cold." Yan Wenlong said, slapping the table hard.

AT THIS POINT, HE NOTICED THAT THE SCREEN WAS NO LONGER WHITE, THE EXCEL FILE HAD REAPPEARED, AND THE PRELIMINARY PROCESSING RESULTS WERE DISPLAYED. Yan Wenlong looked at the document and sighed: "Forget it, bear with it first, and then talk about it depending on the situation." ”

After speaking, he picked up a piece of paper, compared it with the data on the screen, and kept writing and drawing on the paper.

On the morning of the third day, Wu Shuangquan came to Yan Wenlong's hut and asked, "How is the report doing?" What are the conclusions? ”

Yan Wenlong showed Wu Shuangquan a word document that had been opened, and said, "Boss, here, you can take a look at it first." ”

Wu Shuangquan came to the computer and looked at the word report of more than ten pages. He was immediately struck by the well-illustrated and well-structured report.

Judging by the structure of the report, the headline shows the biggest findings: "Uneven per capita efficiency and weak sales force in the east". In the first paragraph of the report, there is a paragraph with clear views, which is a concentration of more than 10 views in the whole report.

The report is divided into five parts, each part introduces an analysis method and analysis content, and each part is a progression of the previous part, layer by layer analysis, and there is a feeling of 5WHY.

In addition, the report uses a large number of charts and graphs, which are excellent support for the report's arguments in the bar, pie and line charts.

Wu Shuangquan kept nodding his head and began to read carefully. As he read deeper, his face became solemn, and his whole expression gradually became impatient.

"Yan Wenlong, the structure and presentation of your report are good, and the logic is also very clear." He accentuated his tone: "But this content really has no depth and no new ideas. ”

"The lack of depth is manifested in many places, such as here, the acquisition rate for customers over 35 years old is insufficient, as for why it is insufficient, whether it is the small number of customers, the mismatch of products or the lack of skills of our sales staff, these have not been analyzed in depth, which makes me unsatisfied and regrettable."

"There is no new meaning that 80% of the opinions and findings in your report are known to us, and I know what is ineffective and weak. Occasionally, one or two points of the report made me a little interesting, but none of them caught my eye, and the whole report was so flat that I lost interest. ”

Wu Shuangquan glanced at Yan Wenlong and shook his head: "This report lacks enough depth, I am disappointed. You have to redo it all over again, and I have high hopes for this report. ”

Yan Wenlong hesitated and said, "Boss, there is indeed a problem in this regard. But that's all I can do. ”

He pointed to his room: "It's very hot here, and the range of activities is small, so I'm very embarrassed to work here." The computer was also old, crashed frequently, had a ghosting monitor, and an unstable internet connection. ”

"The most important thing is that I don't have enough information. You only gave me a file, and there were only ten dimensions in total, and I couldn't do an in-depth analysis of how to get it. ”

"I'm not happy with this report either, it's okay to redo it." Yan Wenlong pointed to the screen and said, "Boss, can you give me more support, change the computer, and give me a few more data materials for reference." ”

Wu Shuangquan sighed and smiled bitterly: "I also know that you are embarrassed. But we don't have enough space and computers, and that's the only way to do that. As for the data, when it comes to the information security within the company, I dare not give you more. ”

"So, what can I do?" Yan Wenlong looked at Wu Shuangquan with a bitter face.

Wu Shuangquan came to Yan Wenlong and said in a low voice: "These arrangements are all issued from above, and I can't be the master." Do you want to ask the boss and see if he agrees to give you more resources and support. ”

He pointed to an office in the distance, pursed his lips, and said, "Well, the boss's office is over there, you go and ask." Don't say I told you! ”

Yan Wenlong squeezed out a smile, nodded at Wu Shuangquan, and said, "Thank you, I know what to do." ”

Yan Wenlong walked out of the hut and walked slowly along the corridor to the other end of the floor.

He walked down the long passage, and kept asking himself: "I didn't see the boss of the sales department when I was interviewing, and now I haven't seen anyone for a few days since I joined the company, he is really mysterious!" Who is it? ”

In confusion, he came to the end of the hallway. Soon, he stopped, his eyes staring straight at the door number outside the office.

The door number reads: General Manager of the Sales Department. After this position, a familiar name is followed: Liu Han.
