Chapter 76: Flickering
After the ambulance pulled Billy away, the management staff gathered in the conference room again, Xiao Zhenlei walked in and sat on the boss's chair and looked at the crowd: "Okay, everyone, there was a little accident just now, I ask you to rest assured, now I announce that I am the general manager of the company, because Billy has been hospitalized, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve as the director of logistics for the time being, and the former director of logistics will continue to hold this position, and the comprador Li Shulin will serve as the assistant to the general manager to assist me in managing the company's affairs. During my absence, I will take full charge of the company's affairs, and other positions in the company will not be changed for the time being, so please rest assured that you will work and if you have nothing else to do, please dismiss the meeting now! ”
The staff got up and left when they heard this, and after walking out of the conference room, they talked to each other in groups of three and five groups, and Li Shulin, who had just been promoted from an ordinary comprador to the assistant general manager, was also ready to leave, but when he thought that he was promoted by the new boss, he should express his gratitude anyway, and he couldn't just leave, so he got up and stood still, and when everyone else was gone, he bowed his head and said when he walked to Xiao Zhenlei's side: "Thank you boss for promoting, I will do my best for the boss in the future, boss, just look at my watch!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei smiled and nodded, got up and said, "Xiao Li, you come with me!" ”
"Yes, boss!"
During this time, Xiao Zhenlei had long been in contact with Li Shulin, and did some investigation and understanding of him before contact, during this period, many Chinese compradors who worked for foreigners on the beach bullied the Chinese with the power of foreigners, but there are still many Chinese compradors who have a conscience, this Li Shulin is one of them, Li Shulin is an orphan, raised by his uncle since childhood, and later worked in a church as a chore, followed the priest in the church to learn some English, he found a comprador errand in the electric light company by virtue of speaking English.
Xiao Zhenlei took the office of the general manager, which originally belonged to Billy, and he took Li Shulin into the office and turned around and ordered: "Close the door!" ”
Li Shulin turned around and closed the door when he heard this, and when he turned around, Xiao Zhenlei was already sitting in the boss's chair behind the desk, and asked him to find a chair to sit on.
After casually cleaning up the things on the desk, Xiao Zhenlei got up and looked for it, found a jar of ground coffee, brewed two cups with boiling water, and served one cup to Li Shulin, which made Li Shulin flattered, and said in a loud voice.
Xiao Zhenlei took two sips of coffee and sat down and said: "Xiao Li, I just joined the electric light company, and I am not familiar with the specific situation of the company, you are an old employee of the company, please tell me some of the situation in the company, okay?" ”
"Okay, boss!" Li Shulin hurriedly agreed, and immediately talked about the specific situation of the company.
This is more than half an hour, Xiao Zhenlei listened without the slightest impatience, after Li Shulin finished speaking, he also roughly understood the situation of the electric light company, this electric light company was only an agent business of electric lights at the beginning, that is to say, by importing electric lights from abroad, and then selling them in Shanghai and other parts of China, and during this period, the domestic electric lights in China were basically sold from this company.
However, it is not a way to always do electric light agency business, so the company's senior management later thought of producing electric lamps by themselves, producing and selling by themselves, which can save a lot of costs, and eliminate the high transportation costs of ocean transportation, plus the original sales channels, the electric lights produced are not worried about no sales, after all, electric lights are still a relatively new thing in this period, and others want to do no technology, but this electric lamp company is different, its shareholders are basically foreigners, It is a piece of cake to recruit a few skilled workers from abroad, and then recruit some Chinese workers in the local training, and the production machine equipment is purchased from abroad, and within half a year, a general electric lamp production plant has been established, and the style of electric lights produced is the same as that of imports, and the quality is comparable, but it is not a matter of one or two days to develop and grow.
After Li Shulin finished speaking, Xiao Zhenlei pondered for a while and said: "Xiao Li, you are now the assistant general manager of our company, what about me, there are other companies and other things to take care of, and I won't be here all day, so many things in the company have to be handed over to you to do, I have also been to the electric light production factory, but I found some problems, and now the styles and specifications of the electric lights we produce are relatively simple, for example, all electric lights are a kind of power, and they are basically the same style, so no, Although now there is only our electric lamp company in Shanghai, but the technology of producing electric lamps is not very high, as long as there are production equipment and skilled technical workers, you can soon open a factory, if others also do this line, our company will face great competition in the future, so we now have to find a way to produce multi-specification, multi-model electric lamps, but also to produce different prices and levels of electric lights, for example, an ordinary bungalow with this kind of electric lamp, if you also let other people's luxury villas also use this kind of electric lamp, don't you think it is inappropriate? The electric lights used in western-style villas are at least higher grade than the electric lights of ordinary people, right? How else do those rich people show their superiority, you say?
In addition, the electric lamp produced can also be of other colors when it emits light, which is just to make a fuss on the glass of the electric lamp, for example, the pink electric lamp can be installed in the girl's boudoir or wedding room! ”
Li Shulin's eyes widened after hearing this, and then he said: "The boss's words made me suddenly, I used to feel that our company's electric lights were too monotonous, although it was okay in sales, but I always felt that something was missing, and now I understand when I hear the boss say this!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said: "You understand, these things have to be done by you in the future, we not only have to produce a variety of specifications and models of electric lights, but also to work the market, that is to say, to find more agents throughout the country, so that they can promote our electric lights, which also has to beckon more salesmen to promote our products, this is our company's task at this stage, to quickly seize the national market, while the electric light industry is still the initial development period of the market, we must first occupy the market, In the future, it will be much more difficult for others to enter this market, we can use our sales channels to suppress them, and wait for others to enter the industry, it will be very difficult for us to do this, this is the first step, after occupying the domestic market, you can enter the foreign market, the second step is to enter the international market, which is why I want to let the factory produce a variety of models, specifications of different grades of electric lights, different levels of consumption have different choices, You ask a super rich person to use something that an ordinary person uses, is he willing? I have a lot of other important things to do in the future, it is impossible to put all my energy here, as long as you do well, the position of general manager of the electric light company will be yours sooner or later, if you have made a great contribution to the development of the company, I will convene a general meeting of shareholders to draw a part of the original equity of each shareholder to you, which is a reward for you! ”
Li Shulin was a little incoherent excitedly, he thought that he was just an ordinary comprador who could no longer be ordinary, and there were not 1,000 but 800 Chinese engaged in the work of compradors on the beach in Shanghai, why did the boss take a fancy to himself and not others? Why do you trust yourself so much? Promote yourself from an ordinary comprador to someone above hundreds of people under one person in the company? This kindness is simply broken bones, and there is no way to repay it.
With a "poof", Li Shulin knelt down, "The boss is very kind, Shulin has nothing to repay, even if he goes to the soup!" ”
