Chapter 033: Williams
It's the beginning of the new year again, and the sting is coming.
With a loud sound of spring thunder, the earth woke up, and the bitter cold weather was gradually disappearing.
By accident, you can also find tender green buds on the branches, golden spring flowers clustered with pink peach blossoms, dotted with sunny spring.
The gentle spring breeze blows the green earth, and the flowers and birds are telling the story of spring everywhere.
Spring is coming, and everything is full of life.
On the first day of work in a new unit, Lan Yu tasted the breath of spring all the way, and his whole body was indescribably refreshing and fresh.
Lan Yu's immediate boss is a deputy general manager named Tao Zhequan. Today, she has to report to the boss. She pushed open the door of his office, it seemed that he had just arrived at class, and was about to pick up the thermos to pick up the hot water, Lan Yu was quick to take the thermos, and quickly stepped forward to take the thermos, and said:
"Mr. Tao, I'll pick it up for you."
She quickly reversed her steps and went to the water room to fetch hot water. Back in his office, he picked up his teacup and cleaned it, made the tea, put his hands in a suitable place on the boss's desk, and began to introduce himself:
"I'm newly transferred Vivian, and I've been notified by the HR department to report to you."
"Oh, I know. You're the professor at that university, Blue Feather. ”
"Don't dare to be. When you get here, you have to start from the beginning, please ask Mr. Tao for more advice. ”
"I don't dare to give advice, I'm not as knowledgeable as you."
Whether it is the leader of the foreign affairs unit, Mr. Tao's treatment of people is quite proper, and the communication is very decent, which will not make people feel nervous. He said:
"Regarding your work, the company has studied and determined, during this period of time, you will be in charge of the comprehensive business of the Oriental Trade Department as a deputy section level, and there is no section chief Zheng for the time being, whether you can correct it depends on your performance. I am in charge of the business of this department. As for you, you are responsible for me in business, I don't know if you are clear? ”
"Yes, clear."
Because he had no experience in his work, he couldn't ask any questions for the time being, so Lan Yu had to bite the bullet first.
With the will of Mr. Tao, she came to the Eastern Trade Department.
An old salesman named Li Dong enthusiastically led Lan Yu to a big desk, and a very good brand typewriter was placed in the center of the desk, with neat and neat all kinds of documents such as contracts, Invoices, packing lists, commodity inspection application forms, certificate of origin application forms, etc., piled high on the left and right sides of the typewriter.
Li Dong said:
"Our department is mainly export-oriented. It's your workbench and you're dealing with this pile of stuff every day. Once the salesman of Corey successfully negotiates a business, you will be responsible for it from the beginning of the signing of the contract, until the contract is fulfilled and settled, and the statistical report will be prepared at the end of the quarter and the end of the year. ”
"How big is the volume?" Lan Yu asked.
"About 15 million dollars a year."
"How many of these quotas have been completed?"
"Heh, it's worthy of being a university professor, so quickly you can see the clues. How can it be more than 50 transactions, maybe more. ”
"What about the staffing situation of our department?"
"Now in addition to me, there are four foreign affairs salesmen all in place, and a comprehensive clerk has not been hired, Mr. Tao said that you have to complete this business by yourself for the time being, the business volume is not small, you have to be mentally prepared."
Li Dong saw that Lan Yu was worried about not being able to complete the workload, and he also reminded her clearly.
At this time, the salesmen entered the office one after another, and one of the hairy young men shook hands happily as soon as he saw me, and couldn't wait to say:
"They all said that we have transferred a big beautiful woman in our department, and you are more beautiful than you imagined. Hey! This time, our department doesn't need a bare pole every day, and we can show off like other departments, hahaha. ”
"Don't shout, she's our boss, if she doesn't perform well, no one will care about your list." Li Dong had the intention of stopping him from talking nonsense
Lan Yu looked at these newcomers, new things, and new ways of communication, and was very curious, and began to feel that they were not so angry. However, for the feeling that people can't bear the heavy amount of business, I secretly wonder how much pressure there will be.
Usually, all kinds of professional companies in foreign trade business are important gateways to the world during special periods, attracting curious onlookers from all over the world.
Lan Yu, who has just been transferred to the company, because he is proficient in three other foreign languages in addition to his native language, has not yet gained a firm foothold in foreign affairs business ability, so he is overwhelmed by the arrangements of foreign businessmen who come to visit every day and work as a business negotiation interpreter.
However, I took this opportunity to truly understand how much difference there is between the current situation of the Chinese people and the development of the outside world.
In contrast, I have been teaching in a closed school, and I really have a little bit of self-knowledge of the frog at the bottom of the well.
The comprehensive business in the first quarter has been undertaken by the salesman himself, and Lan Yu's workload has not been pressed for the time being, so it is just an opportunity to improve his business negotiation experience.
Today, Mr. Tao said that he would participate in a business negotiation with Chinese-American businessmen in the afternoon, so that Lan Yu could prepare materials and go to the meeting on time.
When I arrived at the negotiation room, I saw Mr. Tao and another manager, the manager of the second export department, who had already arrived. Lan Yu couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, this business would not be recorded in the performance of her own department, why did she arrange for her to participate in this negotiation.
However, it was arranged in advance by the leader, and it was not too late to talk about it after the meeting, and the guests arrived a few minutes later.
The Chinese-American was tall, fair-skinned, with a pair of thick nearsighted glasses on the bridge of his flat nose. He has a clean appearance in a suit and leather shoes, and compared with these sloppy men in the company, he is particularly gentlemanly.
After shaking hands and greeting each other, the guests sat down in their respective positions, and the guests began to introduce themselves:
"Contemptible William, a native of the United States, is Chinese, thank you for attending."
He spoke Mandarin very poorly, but after all, he didn't need Lan Yu's translation, so she had more room to observe and think about the content of the conversation and was happy.
On behalf of the company, Mr. Tao expressed his welcome and other polite words, and then went straight to the point and asked:
"We understand that your company in the U.S. is not small and has a wide range of operations, and it is said that it has a branch in Southeast Asia. I wonder what aspects of business you are interested in when you come to our company? ”
"Well, that's the case, I heard that your company is very strong in marble and granite supply, this time, I came to consult the relevant content and do a business investigation, I don't know if I can get your company's support."
"Investigation, there is no problem, but can you know what the target goods are for the final demand and which region the user is in?"
"Of course, the user is a third country." William paused and said:
"Well, here's a list of the types of goods we're interested in, please refer to it." Mr. Tao took it, and after carefully checking it with the department manager, he said:
"These varieties are in sufficient supply and we can provide exports. If you have any other requirements, please put them forward in time, and we will try our best to accommodate you. ”
"There is a request, that is, can you arrange for us to visit the origin of granite?"
