Chapter 23 There's a Chance
Do sales business, do not have to attend every day, work hours are relatively relaxed, Zhou Jianping can use the convenience of work every week to go home, he asked his uncle and second brother Zhou Jianliang in the village to help him come to the homestead, no accident, Yuling borrowed enough money from her mother's family, soon after the beginning of spring, the family began to repair the house.
Yuling is in charge of daily affairs, the construction is fully entrusted to the craftsman, during the construction of the house, Zhou Jianping did not delay the work, he went home once a week, and just to see the progress of the project, and he didn't need to worry about things at home.
After two or three months of intermittent work, the house was basically repaired, and in another half a month, the project was over after plastering the wall. This afternoon, Zhou Jianping returned home and saw the five big houses that were about to be completed, he was very excited, "Yuling, our house is about to be repaired, this is our own house, how bright it is to live in it!" ”
"You've seen so much of the world, and you'll be happy to build a house, right?"
"Of course I can't compare with you, because your father works outside, and your family built a very good house seven or eight years ago, and you have seen it in our village, not to mention our family, even if you look at the whole village, how many decent houses are there? Moreover, these five houses were built by my own strength, Zhou Jianping, do you think I can't be excited? ”
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't forget, you only have enough money to build three rooms, and the rest is borrowed from my mother. Yuling said mockingly.
"I haven't forgotten that the borrowed money will not be repaid sooner or later."
"The house is about to be repaired, this environment is a courtyard or something, should it be beautified a little?" Yuling said.
"How else can the yard be beautified? Just plant some trees and flowers on the side, what else can you do? Zhou Jianping didn't know what he meant.
"How many times have you been to my house? Do you remember the difference between my yard and yours? Yuling reminded.
"Your yard, my yard----, there are more trees and flowers in your yard."
"Let me ask you again, my yard is a concrete floor, what about yours?"
"My house is ----,, do you want to make our yard into a concrete floor? If you just say no, you almost confused me. ”
"Aren't you smart? I can't think of anything about it. ”
"However, hardened floors require cement, and this building material is very tight right now, so it's hard to buy! Uh, where did you buy the cement from in the first place? ”
"My family? It seems that my uncle asked a friend of his to come up with a solution within the city construction company. ”
"Can you ask your uncle to do us a favor?" Zhou Jianping said.
"I know that you are walking around outside, how can you tell him about this?"
"Alright, I'll figure it out. Ask the builder who repaired the house how much cement is needed to harden the yard. ”
Zhou Jianping is really difficult to buy cement, he thinks that just because Ma Xingwei and his father are the director of Huaxing Light Industry Machinery Factory, ask Ma Xingwei to come forward, where can he not get a few tons of cement?
Back at the unit, Zhou Jianping used an internal phone to contact Ma Xingwei, "What do you want cement for?" Ma Xingwei asked.
"My hometown has built a new house, and the ground inside and outside the house wants to be hardened with cement."
"Oh, that's fine, it's just that the cement is very nervous right now!"
"Don't you have one over there? Why don't you ask your uncle to think of a way? ”
"Jianping, you don't know my dad, things like arranging a temporary worker with you, he can do it without saying a word, if you want to get some cement in our unit, I just give 10,000 reasons, not only will he not do it for me, but he will also give me a beating." Ma Xingwei said.
"Oh----, I've thought about this matter too simply, just forget it if it's not easy." Zhou Jianping was a little deflated.
"Don't worry, it's not easy for him to do it, I can think of another way."
"Xingwei, don't be too embarrassed, forget it if it's not easy to do, don't let your uncle train you, it's not worth it."
"Don't worry, I won't come to the door to ask him to discipline me, he won't do it for me, I'll ask someone else to help."
"It's all in the same unit, he has to know sooner or later, and you will have to be trained when the time comes, and you won't be able to make a mistake."
"Jianping, I don't think about this matter at all, it has nothing to do with the unit, I ask a friend outside for help, he can't take care of it."
"Then you ----?"
"Remember that guy who drank together at my house years ago? It's my brother-in-law Xu Jiming. ”
"Remember, isn't he the director of the credit union?"
"yes, I'll ask him to help you get cement."
"Does he have a way?"
"Jianping, you are separated from him by one floor, and you two were not familiar with each other before, I estimate that even if he agrees to help, this cement will have to be bought for money." Ma Xingwei has always been very straightforward in his speech.
"Of course, even if you can get it in your light industry machinery factory, I also have to spend money to buy it."
Xu Jiming had a very good impression of Zhou Jianping, and Ma Xingwei told him about the situation, he not only agreed, but also advanced money himself, used his social connections, and helped Zhou Jianping buy four tons of cement from a state-owned building materials company, and found a walk-behind tractor, which was delivered to Zhou Jianping's home according to the address given by Zhou Jianping.
Afterwards, Zhou Jianping asked Ma Xingwei to invite Xu Jiming, firstly, to give him the money to buy cement, on the other hand, Zhou Jianping thought that Xu Jiming had done him a great favor and should invite him to a meal to express his gratitude.
During the dinner, Xu Jiming asked Zhou Jianping about the sales of the unit, and Zhou Jianping told him that after about a year of running-in, the sales of the subsidiary company had been very stable, or he would not have time to go back to his hometown to take care of the house repair.
"When the sales situation stabilizes, your job will be much easier, and you can find some time to contact more with the society in the future." Xu Jiming said.
"Hey, I'm not idle, and now that I'm living a peaceful life, I don't think it's interesting." Zhou Jianping said.
"Brother-in-law may not understand, Jianping this person does not like to keep the stall, think that year, the banana business has gone out of the door, he turned to the second-hand clothing with more guaranteed profits, to our subsidiary, in the production line was originally a good hand, all positions can be competent, the company manager knows his business experience, he has to transfer him to engage in sales, he has the courage to face the severe sales situation, boldly put forward the concept of change, establish the concept of service awareness, and propose to the company to establish an incentive mechanism, Then he personally put these measures into practice, and in less than half a year after he took over the sales department, the sales performance reached the highest level in history, and by the end of the year, it had exceeded the highest level in history by two or three percent. You see, now that the sales situation is stable, he finds it boring. ”
"In this way, Brother Jianping is a person who has the courage to accept challenges."
"My brother-in-law has won the award, I don't dare to pretend that I have the courage to accept the challenge, but Xingwei is right, I really don't want to do the step-by-step work."
"To put it bluntly, it is the courage to open up and be suitable for challenging things. Brother Jianping, now the situation is so good, and the policy is also encouraging, why don't you do your own business with such a character? Xu Jiming said.
"It's not like I haven't thought about starting my own business, but I don't have the funds, and I don't know what to do for a while."
"Now there's a chance, I wonder if you're interested?" Xu Jiming looked a little mysterious.
In the area under the jurisdiction of Xu Jiming's urban office, there is a food processing factory run by the street, which belongs to the local collective enterprise, since the establishment of the factory in the seventies, the development has not been very good, especially in recent years, other enterprises are doing prosperous, but this street enterprise is not as good as a day, and it has reached the point of difficulty. The reason for this is that the outside world agrees that the company lacks effective management.
Xu Jiming has been paying attention to this street enterprise, because they have more than one million loans in the credit union, and if this enterprise fails, the more than one million loans will be in vain, and the consequences are unimaginable for the credit union.
Secretly, Xu Jiming consulted a number of people familiar with the situation, and came to the unanimous conclusion that as long as the management and operation are good, the company can move forward.
Drinking at Ma Xingwei's house a few years ago, Xu Jiming was very interested in Zhou Jianping, but he thought that Zhou Jianping wanted to find a big company as a backer, so he didn't think much about it.
Ma Xingwei's words just now made Xu Jiming have an idea, since Zhou Jianping also works in the subsidiary of Huaxing Light Industry Machinery Factory, the head of the sales section may be ousted at any time, and the subsidiary company is not a golden sign for Zhou Jianping. What's more, Zhou Jianping likes to accept challenges, and is not obsessed with the current stable working state, Xu Jiming feels that this is an opportunity.
"What chance?" Zhou Jianping and Ma Xingwei looked at Xu Jiming in unison.
"If Brother Jianping wants to do his own business, I can help introduce him."
"It's useless for you to refer, because you need investment to do business, and I don't have any money." Zhou Jianping was not very interested in Xu Jiming's words on the surface.
"It seems that your knowledge is still limited to the small area of the workplace, in fact, if you want to do business, in some cases, you don't need to invest yourself." Xu Jiming said.
"Yo, there is such a good thing, why didn't you say it earlier?" Ma Xingwei obviously asked such a thing for Zhou Jianping.
"I don't know the specific situation, who should I tell earlier? Isn't that the same as having no purpose? ”
"Okay, since you think you can do it now, what do you want to introduce?" Ma Xingwei said.
"There is a food processing factory in the sub-district of our office, which is not well managed and lacks management, I want to introduce the Jianping brothers to contract it, what do you two think?"
Zhou Jianping didn't speak immediately, Ma Xingwei said: "What you said is the truth?" ”
"What am I kidding you guys? If the Jianping brothers are interested, I'll go back and talk to them. ”
"It's been a long time, and you haven't talked to that side yet, isn't this equivalent to empty talk?" Ma Xingwei said.
"It's not empty words, because I know the situation over there very well, how can I talk to people before I implement it with Jianping?"
"Well, that's right. Jianping, what do you think of this? Ma Xingwei turned to Zhou Jianping and asked.
Don't look at it without saying a word, since he heard Xu Jiming talk about it, Zhou Jianping felt an indescribable excitement in his heart, if what Lao Xu said is true, this is a rare opportunity!
It's not a fantasy to be able to own your own business without investing, right? Such a good thing has never been dreamed of, is it going to befall Zhou Jianping so easily?
