Long Dan was assigned to the county department store and was arranged to the market sales department. The market sales department is not a retail department, but a wholesale department for individual traders. In the last year or two, due to the improvement of policies, self-employed traders have sprung up like mushrooms. There are a few businesses in almost every village, and the county department store has set up many wholesale stations in the more prosperous areas according to market demand. The market sales department is a relatively large wholesale department of a department store, and the daily turnover is very large. The company's leaders arranged Long Dan here can be regarded as reuse.

There are a total of eight people in the market sales department plus Long Dan, four men and four women, and the four women are all married women. The four men are all singles, and the manager is four years older than Long Dan, named Li Yong. There are also two, one is Xiao Qin, who took over his father's work, and the other is Xiao Song, who was arranged by the guò relationship. Only Long Dan is a college student, the other three men are all high school students, and the four lesbians do not have a high level of education. Here, Long Danke is a person with a high diploma. The manager arranged for Long Dan to be in charge of the wholesale of scarce items, and it was also the manager of the sales department who glanced at Long Dan.

Department store wholesale, as the name suggests, is the wholesale of all kinds of goods, Longdan is to manage watches, soap, stationery, etc., and it is also a type of oil and water. Although the company has established wholesale departments in various places, the wholesale of many goods is still based on relationships, not how many or how much. For example, the wholesale of watches, it doesn't matter, you can't get the batch order. The watches in charge of Long Dan are mainly two brands, one is the Polaris brand, the other is the Shanghai brand, the retail price of the Polaris watch is 65 yuan, the wholesale is only 30.8 yuan, the retail price of the Shanghai brand watch is 125 yuan, the wholesale is 78.8 yuan, and the profit is very large. Businesses with a relationship can get more than a dozen watches, and they don't have to worry about not being able to sell them at all, and they can earn a few hundred yuan immediately.

The soap managed by Longdan is also a shortage commodity, and it is not a matter of having the final say, which requires the manager to write a note before it can be batched, and it is not sold at will. However, since it is in charge, it also has a little power, there are acquaintances to approve watches or something, as long as you say hello to the manager, the manager will agree, it is very to give Long Dan face.

Long Dan took this position, it was really a spring breeze. At least every day when the door opens, a lot of merchants pour in, either to deliver cigarettes, or to invite Long Dan to eat, and Long Dan has become a fragrant dumpling in the eyes of merchants. At first, Long Dan also shirked it, but after a long time, he gladly accepted it, and under the influence of the merchants, he also learned to spit out clouds and mist, and it didn't cost money to smoke anyway. Every day, Long Dan's cigarettes are amber, big front door, a box of 4 Mao Jiu, sometimes go home, give a few boxes to his father, his father is reluctant to smoke, saying that it is too Lang fee, or his own dry tobacco bag is cheap and enjoyable.

Long Dan's salary is 34.5 yuan per month, and he can save ten yuan a month for the elderly in the family when he goes out, and he can save ten yuan a month. Sometimes, Long Dan thinks that when he can save enough 10,000 yuan, he can do something.

After a few months of relaxed days, Long Dan felt that it was not very interesting, and as soon as the freshness passed, he felt that he was a scoundrel. Especially if he eats on his salary, although he can save ten yuan and eight yuan every month, although he has a meal almost every day, Long Dan is really not satisfied, according to this momentum, let alone one million, even if he saves enough ten thousand yuan, he doesn't know what year of the monkey will come.

Long Dan thought about it and felt that he still had to do business. It's not good to do it alone, you have to pull the manager to do it together, your own strength is too thin. So, I found a suitable opportunity and told my manager Li Yong about my idea. Li Yong and Long Dan are about the same age, and their minds are also active people, and they are also people who want to make some extra money, but they have no choice. Hearing what Long Dan said, he immediately agreed, but he didn't take action immediately, he just asked Long Dan to plan the plan well, and the plan can only be implemented.

Long Dan's first thought was to discuss with his college classmate Wang Jing, so he reported his thoughts to Li Yong, the manager of the sales department, and then asked for leave and went to the provincial capital. The manager knew that Long Dan went to the provincial capital to find a way, and specially instructed Long Dan to live in the provincial capital for a few more days, and gave Long Dan 200 yuan, saying that it was a qiē expense reimbursement, no matter whether there was a useless result or not, there was no need for Long Dan to pay. Long Dan was also happy not to spend his own money, and went to the provincial capital after accepting the manager's 200 yuan business trip fee.

Longdan to the provincial capital is to do the train to go, Luzhong County in the early 70s to build the railway to the provincial capital, take the train to the provincial capital only 1 yuan 8 cents, 100 kilometers away, Longdan sat for nearly ten hours, the train slowly arrived at the provincial capital Luoshui City.

As soon as he arrived in the provincial capital, Long Dan went straight to the address left by Wang Jing when he graduated. Wang Jing was very happy when he saw Long Dan. I immediately called two classmates in the nearest provincial capital and took this opportunity to get together together. After a while, two classmates arrived on bicycles. One Wu Aiguo was assigned to the Provincial Administration of Organ Affairs; the other is Shi Wei, who was assigned to the Luoshui Municipal Government as a civil servant; These two are classmates from Wang Jing High School and alumni of Long Dan's university, but they are not very familiar with each other when they are not in the same class, and after chatting for a while, they become acquainted. "You are assigned there now, what kind of work are you doing" Wang Jing asked with concern, Long Dan said: "I am very ashamed, I was almost sent to the countryside, but I had a little relationship, and finally stayed in the county seat and ate in the department store", Wang Jing teasedly said: "There is still a little relationship, if you had listened to Gao Fangfang's words at the beginning, it would not have been a word to be assigned to the provincial organ, I really don't know what you think", and then said: "Or, now notify Gao Fangfang and let her come over?" "Don't, don't, spare me, don't open any pot and mention it, don't mention that matter again, Gao Fangfang may still hate me" Long Dan hurriedly said.

Wang Jing asked: "You came today, and you didn't really ask me for a drink, what's the matter?" Let's talk about it before you're drunk? "I'm here today to think, should I go back to your dad to get some in-demand goods, my sales department really doesn't have any bonuses to give, I want to drum up something to go back" Long Dan asked tentatively. "The towel quilt thing is definitely not good, I did it a few times when I went to school, because my dad is here, he is not in that factory now, and if you do this again, it will be all over the city, you still want to think of other things" Wang Jing hurriedly said. "Everything else is fine, your father is going to be transferred there now," Long Dan asked. Wang Jing said: "I went to the head of the Municipal Materials Bureau, and I was promoted", and Long Dan heard that there was a door: "Then you ask your father, can you get a watch?" Wang Jing was not ambiguous, and said, "You stay first, and I will ask you tomorrow." The other two classmates listened to the Longdan Wang Jing and the two of them only cared about chatting about the business scriptures, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said two, do you want us to listen to your relationship and do business, or let us drink?" Wang Jing hurriedly said: "Drink, drink, tonight only talk about Fengyue, not business, get drunk." The four classmates chatted about the interesting past in the university while teasing each other, and after a while, the four of them couldn't find the north and south.

The next day, Wang Jing lived up to his trust and asked Long Dan for a letter, saying that his father had something to do with the watch factory, and he could get watches but not much, only 1,000 watches. Long Dan heard it: It's not much, my God, it's a full 1,000 yuan, and that's it. Now I have an explanation. Long Dan and Wang Jing completed the letter of introduction and returned to the unit happily.

After getting back the letter of introduction for buying the watch, Li Yong, the manager of the sales department, was overjoyed. This 1,000 yuan is at hand, even if the boss goes to the watch factory, he may not be able to get it. However, going to the factory to pick up the goods is not as good as going to the head office, and the general situation is to allocate and do not need cash. This time it's different, it's an unplanned purchase, but it requires cash. Li Yong hurriedly used his connections, invited the head of the credit cooperative, Director Li of the county credit cooperative, Lanling Dalu poured enough, loaned 20,000 yuan in cash, and within a few days, he went to the factory to bring back 1,000 watches.

With these 1,000 watches, the one-year bonus of the marketing department is not to worry. After coming back, the manager Li Yong immediately activated the relationship with the sales department and set a floating price, and the 1,000 watches were sold out within a few days. As soon as Li Yong settled the accounts, the net profit earned more than 20,000 yuan. took out 5,000 and gave it to Long Dan, and gave 5,000 yuan to Long Dan's classmates alone. For the rest, bonuses were distributed according to different levels. Within a month, the news of the sales department selling unplanned watches reached the ears of the company's leaders. Manager Li Yong hurriedly made a report to the boss, and also told the relationship between Long Dan's classmates, and patted his chest to explain that he did not use a penny from the public. When the boss heard this, not only was he not angry, but he also said to Li Yong with a smile: "This kid is a talent", and Li Yong put a heart in his stomach. Since then, Long Dan's reputation has spread, and he has become a capable person who can do business.
