Aunt Qing's frank and outspoken words shocked Ning Qian and made her powerless. She knew that Aunt Qing was for her own good, but she really didn't expect things to be so complicated. Isn't the work done as quickly as possible, and the higher the efficiency, the better? However, Aunt Qing's suggestion made Ning Qian understand: you can't just keep copying the manuscript, you have to open up new jobs by yourself.

Looking around and excavating resources, Ning Qian found a breakthrough in the business information done by Aunt Qiong: Aunt Qiong has a thin copy of the business information sent by the official on a regular basis. The content is available in Chinese and English. Aunt Qiong's English was not very good, so she cut out the Chinese information, pasted it very carefully, annotated it, made a beautiful newspaper clipping, and handed it to Director Xu. The rest of the English leftovers are basically thrown into the trash.

Ning Qian dug out the waste materials from the trash can and found that a considerable part of them were in English, all of which were the purchase information of foreign customers. Ning Qian thought about whether to go directly to Aunt Qiong to get these unwanted waste papers and tell her that she wanted to collect them, but when she remembered Aunt Qing's reminder, she put herself in Aunt Qiong's shoes and thought: If there is a new college student, if you don't say that the things you throw away are useful and can't be thrown away, doesn't that mean that you don't know the goods? Besides, there is no bottom on whether this idea can be implemented.

Ning Qian sorted out all the leftovers that could be picked up from the trash can, and when she saw that Aunt Qiong was about to make newspaper clippings, she paid attention silently, and when she was ready to throw it, she hurriedly greeted it and said, "Aunt Qiong, I'll throw it!" ”

In this way, unknowingly, Ning Qian collected and sorted out a lot of English versions of foreign customer purchase information, and then matched the factory supply information published in Chinese in major newspapers. If you can't find it in the newspaper, turn the yellow pages and look up the factories that might supply such products.

The office telephone was coded for long-distance calls, and only the director knew about it. If you can't find a factory from other places, then start with Guangzhou first. After making a phone call to confirm that the source of goods can basically match the foreign purchase information, Ning Qian asked Director Xu to ask if she could make an appointment with these factories to come to the company, and she could communicate with the people in the factory in person and evaluate the level of the factory.

Director Xu listened very seriously, smiled very heartily, and said firmly: "Xiao Ning, your approach is really good!" You ask the factory to come, and you can talk in the office, no matter what the negotiation is. I can talk to you if you need to! ”

With the support of Director Xu, Ning Qian was full of enthusiasm and began to make an appointment with the factory according to the list. It was the first time for everyone to enter the office building of a central enterprise, and they were already a little nervous just standing at the door and facing the department sign of the "General Manager's Office" above. When I saw Ning Qian, I was puzzled: Let's say that this thing is unreliable, this company looks like a big business; Let's say it's reliable, why is it a little girl to talk about?

After a brief greeting, Ning Qian began to ask questions. These questions were sorted out one by one by her based on the English purchase information. Holding a notebook and reading it would seem too unprofessional, so she deliberately memorized it, and when she asked, sometimes focused and serious, sometimes careless, and the rhythm should be controlled so that she looks very familiar with the industry and goods. When you can't eat accurately, just look at Director Xu, Director Xu smiled and nodded, and Ning Qian was down-to-earth.

At first, the colleagues in the office didn't pay much attention to it, and gradually their eyes turned here: Lao Wu stopped reading newspapers, Director Chen stopped reading magazines, and even Aunt Fen and Aunt Qiong, who copied manuscripts, stopped writing and turned their heads to look at them, and the gaze behind Aunt Qing's glasses was as soft as moonlight. As soon as the people in the factory left, everyone began to gossip:

"Xiao Ning, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, you even know the chassis of a car! As soon as you come up, you have to do big business! ”

"Xiao Ning, you are really good!" "Xiao Ning, be willing to use your brains!" It was full of praise and encouragement, Xiao Ning said thank you with a red face, and at the same time felt a little relieved in his heart - it turned out that he could also try to do business, but what moved him even more was that Director Xu could let his fledgling and twenty-year-old self let go of these things that he didn't know in his heart.

After meeting some factories one after another, and after screening the reliable and unreliable, Ning Qian made a supply and demand matching table. Director Xu felt that the operation of import and export practices should still be handed over to the business department, and Xiao Ning's future work would be to provide such business information services for the business department. Xiao Ning made an analysis of the categories that each department is good at, and the work process has gradually become formalized.

Director Xu was infected by Xiao Ning's enthusiasm for doing business, and it happened that the chubby aunt of the Eighth Department of Comprehensive Trade next door said that she wanted to buy lion's mane mushroom soup, and the boss of the provincial food import and export company across the two roads had a good personal relationship with Director Xu, so Director Xu asked them to buy lion's mane mushrooms and sell them to the employees who needed to make soup within the group. Unexpectedly, the market was opened all of a sudden, the business was booming, and there was an endless stream of people who came to buy lion's mane mushrooms every day.

Director Xu struck while the iron was hot, and launched the fist product of the food - Cantonese sausage, which is not only needed by the employees themselves, but also can be bought and given away and sent to relatives and friends in distant places, the demand has doubled and the sales have soared.

Xiao Li is responsible for calling 0.9 small trucks to eat and pull goods, and the goods are downstairs, and then all the employees of the general office are called to move them. After Ning Qian had the experience of moving lion's mane mushrooms, she thought that she was already familiar with the porter, so she bent down and grabbed a box of sausages and left, but the whole person was dragged down by the sausage box and almost had an upside-down green onion. It turned out that Ning Qian underestimated the solid and heavy sausage. When Aunt Fen saw this scene, she was funny and distressed, and said, "Xiao Ning, don't move, it's too difficult for you." ”

Soon, the news that Xiao Ning couldn't move the sausage and almost fell down spread in the general office, and everyone thought it was very funny. Aunt Qiong said: "It is very understandable that where do college students nowadays do hard work, unlike when we used to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, every day is manual labor. ”

Ning Qian really felt that the aunts and mothers of the general office had significantly larger skeletons than herself, and she really admired their ability to be civil and martial, and she was ashamed that she couldn't do the work and dragged down the purchase speed of the general office, but she still insisted on moving sausages every day, moving and moving, which was much more handy, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Director Xu took the profits from selling lion's mane mushrooms and sausages as a bonus, and distributed them to the people in the general office once a month, and whenever this time, the director would close the door of the office, and the room of people, including the director, were a little nervous, and their speech became whispering.

The cash in hand, as if it had been stolen, was quickly stuffed into everyone's hands, and then into everyone's pockets or bags, and when the office door was reopened, everyone was in place: the newspaper reader was still reading the newspaper, the magazine was still reading the magazine, Xiao Li was pouring water, Xiao Qiu was holding a boiling water bottle and preparing to fetch water, and the director was looking for documents with a folder, as if there had never been such a thing as a dividing bonus.

After such a nourishing little day for a while, suddenly one day, Director Xu walked to the middle of the office, without closing the door, in a soft, but enough volume for people passing by the general office to hear: "Our general manager's office tried to operate comprehensively and do the domestic market some time ago, and now it seems that the domestic market is not easy to do. In the future, we will not try again, and we will do a good job in comprehensive management and serve all departments with peace of mind. ”

The people in the office exchanged glances with each other, but none of them spoke. However, by the time it was time to eat at noon, the whole group had already known that the general office no longer sold lion's mane mushrooms and sausages, and this reform and innovation failed.

Ning Qian also understood: The general office is being discussed, and Director Xu is eliminating the negative impact. Ning Qian really admired Director Xu's ability to change wind and rain, and especially hoped to follow Director Xu from time to time.

When there was no one around, she stood at the window of the general office and prayed to the sky: "Please Director Xu teach me to descend the dragon with eighty palms!" The director suddenly stood behind her and said, "Obviously it is the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, where did the eighty palms come from?" Ning Qian's admiration and awe of Director Xu made her dare not joke, and she was embarrassed to pat herself on the spot, she smiled awkwardly on her face, and said in her heart: "You are amazing, not only eighteen palms, but eighty palms!" ”

Would Director Xu be willing to accept this apprentice?
