"Yue'er is back in the United States?"

Looking at the QQ message sent by Yue'er, Tang Xiaosheng was slightly stunned, a little surprised.

In the past three months, Yue'er has been traveling in China and going to seven or eight cities, Tang Xiaosheng thought that she would probably have to toss in China for a while, but she didn't expect this girl to suddenly return to the United States.

After reading the message, Tang Xiaosheng replied to Yue'er with a message, however, at this time, Yue'er's QQ avatar was gray, and she didn't seem to be online and didn't respond.

Tang Xiaosheng didn't care, and began to look up the market about computers on the Internet. Now that you've decided to learn computer programs, it's obvious that buying a computer is essential.

After checking on the Internet for a while, Tang Xiaosheng has a general understanding of the price of the computer, and a computer with an ordinary configuration can be done for 3,000 yuan, which is basically within the range he can afford. Tang Xiaosheng has been moving bricks for more than two years, and he still has a little savings.

It's just that Tang Xiaosheng was a little hesitant whether to buy a computer or not, not because he was reluctant to buy it, but because he was not practical after buying it. If he spent thousands of yuan to buy the computer back and put it in that rental house in the suburbs, Tang Xiaosheng was really not at ease. That room has been visited by thieves seven or eight times, and Tang Xiaosheng has to move bricks from the construction site during the day, and a computer in the house is likely to allow thieves to take advantage of it.

Of course, Tang Xiaosheng can consider changing the house, but once he changes the house, the rent will inevitably rise, and the cost will definitely rise in a straight line, which may exceed Tang Xiaosheng's budget. What's more, Tang Xiaosheng has lived in this room for more than two years, and he is really reluctant to change it.

Just when Tang Xiaosheng hesitated. A job advertisement in a computer mall caught his attention. The job advertisement is a computer salesman, the requirements of the position are very low, there is no limit to education, gender is not limited, age is not limited, it has only one requirement - familiar with computer accessories and basic computer knowledge.

After reading this recruitment advertisement, Tang Xiaosheng suddenly had a little idea, the requirements of the computer salesman do not seem to be high, should he consider giving it a try?

Since Tang Xiaosheng has decided to devote himself to the computer field, he should naturally engage in more computer-related careers. It's not a way to move bricks on the construction site all the time. A computer salesperson can work with computers at least every day. This is still helpful for my future career development, at least more useful than moving bricks.

What's more, compared to moving bricks, the job of a computer salesman sounds much more high-end. It is said that computer salesmen can also print personal business cards. This is completely incomparable to the brick movers.

After a brief period of consideration and weighing. Tang Xiaosheng made a decisive decision - to apply for a computer salesman in the computer city.

Of course, Tang Xiaosheng didn't know anything about computers at this time, before he went to apply. You need to make up the basics of computer accessories first.

So, from July 27th, Tang Xiaosheng began to engage in the study of computer accessories, what motherboards, CPUs, CPU fans, memory, graphics cards, sound cards, power supplies, etc., anyway, some of the computer chassis have to be studied, and memorize the development history of each accessory, the model of the accessories, the various parameters and uses of the accessories.

Tang Xiaosheng is a computer layman, and he encountered many problems in the process of studying, so he got an Internet café to check information every once in a while. Every time he goes online, he habitually logs in to Q-Q and always pays attention to Yue'er's dynamics.

It's just that from July 27th to August 15th, for more than half a month, Yue'er didn't send any more messages. Since returning to the United States, Yue'er seems to have evaporated from the world, and she has never been on the line at all, Tang Xiaosheng is a little puzzled, what is this girl tossing in the United States?

And on August 15, Tang Xiaosheng sent a message to Yue'er, because today is Yue'er's birthday. At the same time, Tang Xiaosheng also passed a new song he had just written to Yue'er through offline files, the name of the song was "The Legend of Ziwen", which was a birthday gift.

After the song was sent, Yue'er didn't receive it, and this girl really didn't seem to be online.

Tang Xiaosheng didn't care, anyway, he had already passed the song and had fulfilled his original promise to Yue'er.

In the following two months, Tang Xiaosheng continued to move bricks to the ground during the day, and studied computer accessories at night.

After more than 90 days of study, Tang Xiaosheng thought that he had mastered the basic knowledge of computer accessories and decided to go to the computer city to apply for a computer salesman. The recruitment of salesmen in the computer city is long-term effective and can be done at any time, because the salespeople in the computer city are very mobile, and many salesmen with poor performance can only find another way.

On October 28, Tang Xiaosheng asked the contractor at the construction site for a day off, then changed into clean and tidy clothes and went to the computer city to apply for a job.

There are hundreds of stores in the computer city, and about a quarter of the stores are recruiting salesmen, Tang Xiaosheng walked around the computer city, and finally found a store that looked relatively large, "Daystar Computer", and then walked into the store with apprehension to apply.

When applying for the job, the owner of the "Daystar Computer" store asked Tang Xiaosheng for a resume.

Tang Xiaosheng had already prepared, before coming to the computer city, he had already written a resume on paper with a pen, and the content of the resume was as follows:

Name: Tang Xiaosheng

Gender: Male

Personal experience: Graduated from high school in June 2007. From September 2007 to June 2010, he worked at the construction site of XX City. Since June 2010, he has taught himself the basic knowledge of computer and is familiar with various computer accessories.

Personal honors: So far, he has held the record of moving 12 truckloads of bricks in one day.

Position: Computer salesman

Advantages: hard-working, self-motivated

Cons: Looks can affect sales

……

After reading this handwritten resume, the owner of the store smiled and asked Tang Xiaosheng: "You used to move bricks at the construction site?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "Yes." I studied computers, though. ”

The boss asked, "Do you know how to assemble a computer?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng thought for a moment, but nodded: "Yes." ”

The boss was not polite at all: "Now install one and take a look." ”

A moment later, a pile of computer accessories was placed in front of Tang Xiaosheng. Looking at these computer accessories, Tang Xiaosheng was still quite nervous. Although he has studied computer accessories, he has never practiced them from books, and he has no bottom in his heart.

However, when things came to this point, Tang Xiaosheng had no choice but to bite the bullet. If the assembly fails, it's a big deal to change the store and then apply for it, anyway, there are as many stores in this computer city as rice.

With this mentality, Tang Xiaosheng took a deep breath and followed the introduction he had seen from several computer books. Start building your PC with your hands. Take out the motherboard, install the CPU first, then install the CPU fan, and plug in the memory module. Plug in the graphics card. Then install the hard drive, DVD, and power supply. Then plug in various data cables and power cables. Once you've got it done, plug it in and set up the BIOS briefly. Use partitioning software to format and partition the hard disk, and then use a pirated disc for five dollars to install an XP pirated system on the computer.

After about fifty minutes, everything was finally done.

"Alright." Tang Xiaosheng wiped the coarse sweat on his forehead and said.

The boss commented: "The assembly speed is a little slower. The salesperson in our store not only asks for sales, but also asks for the assembly of computers for customers, and if they need it, they also need to help customers deliver computers. In general, we require the salesperson to assemble a computer for no more than 20 minutes. ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "It's the first time I'm assembling a computer, it's a bit handy, if I assemble it a few more times, 20 minutes should be fine." ”

The boss nodded and said, "What are your requirements for salary?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng came to the computer city with a learning mentality, and lowered his posture: "There are no requirements." ”

The boss thought for a while and said, "There are two options for the salary of the salesman in our store, one is with a basic salary and the other is without a basic salary. If you have a basic salary, the basic salary is 800 yuan a month, and then you will get a 20% profit commission according to your personal performance. If you don't have a basic salary, you won't have a basic salary, but you can get a 50% profit cut according to your personal performance. Think about it, do you have a base salary, or do you have no base salary? ”

Tang Xiaosheng thought for a while and said, "I don't want a base salary." ”

The boss reminded: "If you don't have a basic salary, if you don't sell your computer, then you won't have a penny." ”

Tang Xiaosheng: "No problem. ”

The boss nodded: "Okay, you can give it a try, when can you go to work?" ”

"Uh...... within this week. "Tang Xiaosheng is still a brick mover on the construction site, if you want to change jobs in the computer city, you have to discuss with the contractor of the construction site, and let him settle the salary for moving bricks for these two months.

"Okay, you can come to work at any time, just look for me when you come." The boss said.

In this way, Tang Xiaosheng got a job as a salesman in the computer city without any danger, and the situation went even more smoothly than he imagined.

After leaving the computer city, Tang Xiaosheng immediately went to the construction site to find the contractor and prepared to resign from him. After hearing that Tang Xiaosheng was leaving, the contractor was a little reluctant, and kept him repeatedly, and said that he would increase his salary by 200 yuan next month.

For the words of the contractor, Tang Xiaosheng's face did not change and was unmoved. Half a year ago, the contractor said that he was going to raise his salary, but half a year has passed, and there has been no movement at all.

So, Tang Xiaosheng politely refused the kindness of the contractor and was determined to devote himself to the computer sales industry. After repeated persuasion to no avail, the foreman knew that he could no longer keep people, so he had to promise to pay all his wages to Tang Xiaosheng in two days.

In this regard, Tang Xiaosheng was quite pleased, this package foreman was quite kind.

Two days later, Tang Xiaosheng officially resigned from the construction site, ending his three-year career of moving bricks. On the day of his resignation, Tang Xiaosheng's mood was still a little heavy. He has been working on the construction site for three years, and the first pot of gold in his life was obtained at the construction site, which left him with a lot of beautiful memories, and he was really a little reluctant.

However, men have ambitions in all directions.

Although the construction site is nostalgic, in order to realize the ideal in his heart, Tang Xiaosheng resolutely gave up the work of moving bricks.

After leaving the construction site, Tang Xiaosheng jumped to the computer city and began his career as a computer salesman. On the first day of work, the store owner printed 200 personal business cards for Tang Xiaosheng, and the words "Senior Salesman of Daystar Computer Technology Company: Tang Xiaosheng" were written on the business cards.

Not to mention, this name looks quite high-end, at least higher grade than the brick movers on the construction site. The bricklayer is to move for a lifetime, and it is estimated that he does not have a business card. Even if you have a business card, it's a shame for you to have a title like "Senior Brick Mover" printed on your business card.

Therefore, it is quite important for men to choose an industry.

After getting his personal business card, Tang Xiaosheng officially sold computers in the computer city.

For this brand new job. Tang Xiaosheng is still under pressure, and for him, this is a completely unfamiliar field.

However, after staying in the computer city for a few days, this strangeness disappeared, because Tang Xiaosheng found that being a salesman was similar to a prostitute in a brothel, and he had to solicit customers every day, in addition to soliciting customers, he was still soliciting. The more guests you get, the more chances you have. The guest is God. Guests are money.

Of course, there are some differences between being a salesman and being a prostitute. Prostitutes-women solicit clients generally with men, or more specifically, men with sexual needs. There are certain limitations.

Whereas a computer salesperson is different. Both men and men. Or a woman, whether an old man, or a child. All of them will become the target of their solicitation, both men and women. As long as he sees someone, the salesman will come forward and ask, "Hello, do you need to buy a computer or accessories?" Is there anything we can do to help you? ”

Something like this, a salesman in the computer city has to say it hundreds of times a day, and some motivated salespeople may say it thousands of times a day, which is purely a manual job.

On the first day in the computer city, Tang Xiaosheng was tired enough, not physically tired, but his throat was tired, and he chattered all day long, which was really unbearable.

However, there is also a benefit to being a salesperson, and that is the free use of the computer. In the past, Tang Xiaosheng needed to go to the Internet café to check the information, and it cost more than a dozen yuan every time he went online, but now the money has been saved, from this point of view, Tang Xiaosheng still has a basic salary, and this opportunity to access the Internet for free is the basic salary, and after calculation, there are hundreds of yuan a month.

Due to the needs of sales work, Tang Xiaosheng always hangs QQ when he goes to work, which is convenient for him to contact customers. He originally only had one friend on QQ, but since he worked in the computer city, he has added a lot of customers' QQ.

Every day when he goes to work, Tang Xiaosheng's QQ is always online, and he can receive some QQ information from time to time. However, these messages are sent by customers.

Since July 27, 2010, Tang Xiaosheng has never received any messages from Yue'er, and a few months have passed, and there has been no news from Yue'er.

For this question, Tang Xiaosheng was also a little puzzled, and he didn't know what was going on. Even if Yue'er returns to the United States, the frequency of using QQ has become less, so it shouldn't be that it won't be online for several months in a row, right? Tang Xiaosheng also sent messages to Yue'er several times, but unfortunately, all the information was lost in the sea and did not receive any feedback.

Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but wonder if Yue'er's QQ had been stolen or forgotten the login password.

Although there has been no news of Yue'er for several months, Tang Xiaosheng still thinks of her every day. Whenever he returns to the rental house after work and sees the acoustic guitar placed on the chuang, he can't help but think of Yue'er. When I sleep at night, I still dream of this girl.

And when he was working in the computer city during the day, whenever the QQ message sounded, Tang Xiaosheng would involuntarily pass through a thought in his mind: Could it be that Yue'er sent a message?

However, every time I clicked on the message, I was disappointed. All QQ messages are sent by customers, and Yue'er has none.

However, this expectation of Yue'er has become a kind of fun in Tang Xiaosheng's usual work, because the next message sent may be sent by Yue'er.

With such expectations, Tang Xiaosheng continued to buy computers in the computer city. After a month here, he has a clearer understanding of this job.

Although there are hundreds of stores in the computer city, the goods between the stores can be exchanged back and forth, in other words, the supply of each store is about the same, and the price that can be obtained is also about the same.

Therefore, among the hundreds of salesmen in the computer scene, it is basically impossible to gain an advantage in price, everyone's goods are the same, and the price is the same.

If you want many salespeople to stand out, you can only rely on two aspects, one is networking, and the other is flickering skills.

Needless to say, the network is naturally mixed, I have been in the computer city for a long time, I know a lot of people, and the sales work is naturally easy. And a salesman like Tang Xiaosheng, who has no connections at all, the only thing he can rely on is the skill of flickering, in layman's terms, it is cheating!

As long as you can fool customers and sell computers, you will make money. On the contrary, if you are not skilled enough to frighten customers, you will not have anything to eat.

Speaking of the trick of flickering, Tang Xiaosheng originally thought that this was a broad and profound knowledge, but after contacting customers. He found that it wasn't really hard to fool customers.

Two or three out of 10 customers are probably computer-savvy, and there is no way to fool them. However, at least five out of ten customers are ignorant of computers, and these customers are big fat fish, as long as they are a little more professional, there is still a good chance to make a small profit.

Therefore, as long as you can study the tricks of fooling, it is not a problem to eat in the computer city.

Tang Xiaosheng used to move bricks. Only dealt with bricks. I'm not good at flickering tricks. As a result, in the first two weeks of the computer city, his performance was dismal, and not a single computer was sold. Only two hard drives and one chassis were sold. Earned a total of 87 bucks. If this continues, he may not earn more than 200 yuan a month.

Tang Xiaosheng didn't expect that his situation would be so severe, in order to improve his performance. He began to look intriguingly at how other salespeople were doing sales.

Tang Xiaosheng's luck was good, and a few days later, he met an old salesman in the computer city, whose name was Huo Xing. Huo Xing has been a salesman in the computer city for seven years, and he is very experienced.

Huo Xing is very good, and after learning that Tang Xiaosheng is a novice, he took the initiative to teach Tang Xiaosheng some sales skills, that is, the skills of fooling customers. These flickering techniques are very practical, and Tang Xiaosheng has benefited a lot.

After learning from Huo Xing for a while to fool customers, Tang Xiaosheng finally made a gain. On December 24, 2010, Tang Xiaosheng pulled a customer who bought a computer, the customer was a fat man, about 20 years old, with a round face, looking like a big-faced cat.

This big-faced cat fat man is relatively simple, Tang Xiaosheng showed Huo Xingjiao's flickering skills, and immediately frightened the fat man. In the end, the fat man spent 4,700 yuan to buy an assembled computer, and the cost price of this computer was 3,900 yuan, and the profit was 800 yuan.

Tang Xiaosheng can get 50% of the profits, so after selling this computer, he made 400 yuan.

Earning 400 yuan a day is already an astronomical amount for Tang Xiaosheng, who has moved bricks on the construction site, which should be a very fortunate thing.

It's just that Tang Xiaosheng couldn't be happy at that time, but felt very weak-hearted. Because before leaving, the fat man specially left his computer number, saying that he would invite Tang Xiaosheng to dinner in the future.

When looking at the figure of the simple fat man leaving with a 4,700 yuan computer, Tang Xiaosheng was a little cautious in his heart, like a thief. Although he knew that this was a normal buying and selling transaction, and similar things happened every day in the computer city, he was still not used to it.

I have deceived customers of their money, how can I be at ease?

For this question, Tang Xiaosheng specially asked the old salesman Huo Xing for advice. Huo Xing said that he was not used to it at first, but after doing it for a long time, he got used to it.

After listening to Huo Xing's words, Tang Xiaosheng immediately remembered Yue'er, because a few months ago, he and Yue'er had discussed the issue of habits.

As Yue'er said, habit is sometimes a scary thing, and when you get used to a behavior, that behavior controls your life.

After moving bricks on the construction site for a long time, moving bricks will become a habit; If you fool customers in the computer city for a long time, fooling will become a habit.

People are a special kind of adaptability, and this ability is sometimes quite scary.

After listening to Huo Xing's words, Tang Xiaosheng became a little vigilant, he was a little worried that if he stayed in the computer city for a long time, he would gradually get used to fooling customers, and even treat this method as the fun of life.

Tang Xiaosheng knew that he might be able to make more money, but he still didn't like to be such a person.

Fortunately, whenever he was bargaining with customers, Tang Xiaosheng always couldn't help but think of Yue'er, and remembered Yue'er's innocent, big eyes as pure as water.

The more he came into contact with all kinds of people in the computer city, the more Tang Xiaosheng missed Yue'er.

It's a pity that this girl doesn't know what Lu Dao is busy with, and she doesn't have any news.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and it was August 15, 2011.

This day is Yue'er's birthday.

As usual, Tang Xiaosheng went to work in the computer city and habitually logged in to Q-Q. After going online, he specially sent a message to Yue'er: "Yue'er, happy birthday." ”

After sending the message, Tang Xiaosheng started to work, he has not heard from Yue'er for a year, and he no longer has much hope for Yue'er's QQ.

As a result, in the evening of the same day, Tang Xiaosheng suddenly received a Q-Q message, which was from Yue'er.

"Hello, online?" Yue'er's QQ number sent a message.

Tang Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment, a little dumbfounded, didn't think much about it, and immediately replied: "You stinky girl, it's finally bubbling, where have you been this year, why haven't you heard any news?" ”

"You're Tang Xiaosheng, right? I'm sorry, I'm not Yue'er, I'm not Yang Ziwen, I'm a friend of Yang Ziwen. Yue'er's QQ reply.

Tang Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment, and sent a message to ask: "Isn't this Yue'er's QQ?" ”

The other party replied: "This is Yue'er's QQ, but she asked me to keep this QQ for her." ”

Tang Xiaosheng felt that something was wrong with the situation and asked, "Custody?" What do you want to keep? ”

The other party replied: "You still don't know the way, Yue'er passed away last year......" (to be continued......
