Chapter 3 Marginalization
Half a month has passed, and the central telecom data warehouse project has not moved. Xiaoli and they have returned to Donghai Province, in the company's lattice room, Xiaoli sat absentmindedly in front of the computer, browsed which QQ friends are online, they are all some colleagues in the company, but the two friends Yang Bo and Xiaojuan in the central province are not online.
For a period of time, Yang Bo seems to have been avoiding Xiaoli, and after Liu Gang went to meet Yang Bo last time, he didn't bring back any valuable information, but since then, Xiaoli seems to be a little out of reach of Yang Bo.
"I knew this earlier, I still didn't let Manager Liu talk to him!" Xiaoli thought to herself, but why was he afraid to see me? I didn't do anything wrong! After the end of the exchange, Xiaoli looked for all the people she knew about Central Telecom, but the information fed back was a little soft, and there was no substantive conclusion, and the people on the bureau seemed to have become very cautious overnight, saying that Hongyan Technology and Fuguo Software had their own strengths, and they were comparable, and the solutions of the two companies were very valuable to Central Telecom, so Yunyun.
The next day, Xiaoli and Liu Gang also went to Director Li's office, and Director Li had nothing else to say except to ask them to re-configure the quotation according to the bureau's arrangement. Two days later, the project team of the bureau officially notified the manufacturers to go back and wait for news. Mr. Wang later went to the Central Province again, but Xiaoli didn't know what the situation was, but I heard from Liu Gang that Mr. Lin said that he would inquire about the matter. Time passed day by day, and the days of waiting were the hardest for Xiaoli.
Xiaolin is a conscientious young man, graduated from college and entered the marketing department of Fuguo Company, and was sent to the central province to do business, because Fuguo has already had some projects in Central Telecom, Xiaolin eats and lives with the brothers of the project team, and then goes to the relevant departments of Central Telecom informatization and business center every day to help do some chores, do some boiling water or something, work hard, but also quite well received by customers, Children from the countryside have the advantage of being able to endure hardships.
On this day, Xiao Lin was called to ABN's office by Huang Jian. In Xiaolin's eyes, Huang Jian is undoubtedly a role model, and he can even be said to be half a leader. Xiaolin's department manager usually works at the headquarters of Fuguo Software, and at most once a month or two in the central province, so most of the things at work Xiaolin report in the form of email, but it is not as good as the time to contact Huang Jian, so Huang Jian arranged for Xiaolin to do a little more.
"Xiaolin, the maintenance of several sets of ABN hosts in Central Telecom is about to be renewed, I have a list here, you can go and keep up."
"Okay, thank you Brother Jian!" Huang Jian is feeding Xiaolin a list, and Xiaolin is of course grateful. "By the way, Brother Jian, what should we do about the data warehouse project?"
"Hmm...... It is estimated that it will be delayed, and the opinions of the bureau are not unanimous, but it is beneficial for us to delay it. Have you heard anything in various departments during this time? ”
"There's no news, it's just that some people say that TMD's platform is good, but it's too expensive."
"Well, that's good news. By the way, you should go to the relevant departments more during this time, and mention to them that TMD is a closed system, and you will be controlled by others when you get on the TMD platform, which is a very effective sales tactic to cause fear among customers. ”
"Yes, closure is the weakness of TMD!" Kobayashi said excitedly.
Huang Jian smiled, and said quietly: "Tomorrow night Chen Feng's girlfriend has a birthday, you go to Fuguicheng to book a private room for singing, let's get together." ”
"Okay, Brother Jian, I'll buy a birthday cake tomorrow."
In Liu Gang's office, Lao Zhang and Liu Gang were also discussing the data warehouse project in the central province.
"It's not a way to drag it out like this! Boss Wang, I can't even answer when asked. Liu Gang has been so angry these days that the corners of his mouth have foamed.
"Yes, I heard Miss Hu say that they have very different opinions internally, and the people who support us and support Fuguo Company have their own words and do not give in to each other, and Boss Lin is not easy to make decisions."
"Well, behind this is actually the battle between TMD and ABN."
"ABN's Huang Jianke is a powerful character!"
Lao Zhang looked at Liu Gang with an anxious look, and he was a little unbearable. Liu Gang is competent as a technical cadre, but it is not good to do business and make orders! As for Xiaoli, it's even more ridiculous, and it's not of much use. Liu Yin, hi! Why do you always love to use Xiaoyin as a frame of reference? Every time I think of Liu Yin, Lao Zhang doesn't feel good in his heart.
Lao Zhang thought for a while and said, "In this way, I'll talk to Miss Hu, and let Miss Hu come forward to the bureau and propose to talk about the application topic again." Since we can play a limited role in terms of the platform, and the sales of TMD are not strong, we have to play our own advantages at the application level, which is the most worthwhile work we have done at the moment. ”
"Well, that's a good idea!"
At half past nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Gang, Lao Zhang and Xiaoli rushed to the office building of Central Telecom, the eighth floor is the administrative floor of Central Telecom, and the offices of several CEOs are on this floor.
Opposite the lounge area is one of the most luxurious conference rooms of Central Telecom, with a tight door and a meeting going on inside. According to the notice of the Bureau, the second round of bidding for the Central Telecom Data Warehouse project is scheduled here today, and this time there will be no more lots, Hongyan Technology is the second to speak, from ten to eleven and a half, behind Fuguo Software.
"There are also benefits to talking later." Lao Zhang muttered to himself, today Lao Zhang is still casual, it seems a little less compatible with the environment, Liu Gang because he wants to talk about the standard in person today, so he is dressed very formally, dark blue double-breasted suit with shirt and tie, even the hair is combed meticulously, Xiaoli is even more deliberately dressed up today, the milky white professional dress is very fit, and there is an irrepressible youthful vitality all over the body, the smell of Lankou perfume is looming, and the little girl who learns art is different.
The door of the conference room opened a crack, and Director Guo of the Internet Development Department came out of the conference room sideways, whispering something to the mobile phone, he glanced at Liu Gang and the three of them, and walked quickly to a farther place to talk on the phone. Just when the conference room was opened and closed, Lao Zhang heard a familiar voice in the conference room: "Our Wells Fargo Software has a unique advantage in data mining model, which is also recognized by the group leaders......"
Mr. Lu of Fuguo Software, he is here in person! Lao Zhang's heart burped, this is not a good sign, Boss Lu is a well-known ruthless character in the industry, and he often plays cards that do not follow common sense, how can he personally talk about the target?
The speech of Fuguo Company ended on time at ten o'clock, and Liu Gang and they were introduced to the conference room by Yang Bo, and as soon as they entered the door, they found that the atmosphere was different. On the opposite side of the huge conference table sat more than 20 bureau personnel, all dressed in professional attire, more formal than the meeting of the National People's Congress, and many of the directors and deputy managers of the network distribution, informatization, business center, and marketing department sat there. Only the one sitting in the middle is dressed casually, as if he had just come to work after the morning transport, in his early forties, with a heroic style, this person is Liu Yunliang, the youngest deputy general manager of Central Telecom. Lao Zhang's heart hiccuped again, Mr. Liu personally presided over this exchange, so important!
MR. LIU WAS LOOKING DOWN AT HIS IPHONE, PROBABLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE BREAK IN THE MEETING TO DEAL WITH SOME OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS. Seeing that Mr. Liu picked up the water cup and took a sip, obviously there was not much tea, Xiaoli rushed in front of the bureau service lady to refill Mr. Liu's water, which may be the effect of Lankou perfume, Mr. Liu looked up at Xiaoli and showed an elegant smile. Although this little girl lacks sales training, she is quite clever.
At that end, Lao Zhang helped Liu Gang, who was in a hurry, to connect the projection line, and saw that fine beads of sweat had poured out of Liu Gang's head.
Today's exchange was presided over by Director Guo of the Network Development Department, and after consulting Mr. Liu, Director Guo asked Liu Gang to speak. Liu Gang opened the PPT and began to speak in a slightly trembling voice: "Leaders, experts, today I am very grateful to Central Telecom for giving us this opportunity to communicate......
Lao Zhang listened to it and thought to himself: If I were to speak, I wouldn't be so nervous. Lao Zhang belongs to the kind of person who plays particularly well on the spot, he may be nervous before he goes on stage, but once he is on stage, he will immediately enter the role, and his nerves will be excited, and he will forget what nervousness is. This kind of speech ability has an innate component, and more of it is Lao Zhang's experience in a hundred battles. Hey, since the leader wants to go out on his own, he has no choice but to let him go!
After a few pages of Liu Gang's PPT, he slowly became less nervous, and he was about to analyze the customer retention topic of precision marketing: "After the restructuring of the telecom industry, competition has intensified, and the phenomenon of customer loss has become more and more serious......
"Wait a minute," Liu Gang's words were interrupted by Director Guo, "We've heard about this maintenance topic several times, can you talk about other topics?" "Director Guo is a bit unusual, although he still looks smiling, but he is strongly leading the direction of the meeting. Lao Zhang secretly glanced at several other department managers, Director Li of the Ministry of Information Technology was doing something on his laptop with his head down, and Hu Caixia from the business center just looked over and glanced at Lao Zhang.
"Something else—uh—I'll take a look—" Liu Gang was a little cloudy, his voice stammered, and beads of sweat dripping down his face. According to Liu Gang's communication with Yang Bo in advance, Liu Gang focused on preparing this maintenance topic, and now it seems that he is obviously misled!
The storm is surging, Yang Bo has been marginalized in this project, and even the Ministry of Information Technology may no longer be able to dominate this matter! Lao Zhang's heart seemed to have been flashed by lightning, and he suddenly understood.
What to do? You can't be cold!
