Chapter 21: Seeing well is the real effort behind the scenes

"Are you bothered to ask so many questions?" Jia Huaxu was strong, but the volume was sixty percent lower than just now.

"Did you answer the question raised by our general manager?" She continued to stare at Mr. Jia.

"What is there to ask? The goods have already been sold to us. Where to put it, whether you can sell it or not, what does it matter to you? Jia Huaxu continued to die.

"Have you paid for the goods?" Ning Qian's voice was gentle, but full of power.

Bian Liancheng saw that Jia Huaxu's momentum was getting weaker and weaker, pulled his arm, and said with a lewd smile: "Don't pay attention to her, she thinks that if she knows a few words of English, she will be able to manage customers and do business?" What is the use of a vase like hers? Stand by the boss's side and be a foil, what do you care about her! ”

Ning Qian is angry and doesn't fight in one place: this old side, who doesn't protect the interests of the company and still says such tasteless words, is that huge head hollow?

"Director Bian, for these questions asked by Mr. Gupta today, please provide a written report before 11 o'clock tomorrow morning and fax it to Manager Lu. Don't underestimate the strength of your company. Ning Qian's tone was unquestionable. Bian Liancheng looked at her righteous and awe-inspiring and calm appearance, thinking that she was usually very respected in the company, and suddenly he was not sure how much energy she had, so he had to keep quiet.

In the second half of this meal, the atmosphere became polite and dignified, Jia Huaxu was thoughtful, and Bian Liancheng was preoccupied. At the end, Ning Qian once again emphasized the matter of submitting the report before eleven o'clock tomorrow morning, and Bian Liancheng and Jia Huaxu did not speak.

The next day, Gupta returned to Guangzhou, and Ning Qian went to Hefei to meet Lu. There is no distributor in Hefei yet, but it has set a goal to find a local partner within February and prepare to develop. After arriving at the Hefei hotel, Ning Qian and Lu took the local yellow pages and began to inquire about possible companies, and called one by one to negotiate. When the local state-owned fruit and vegetable company heard that it was Lipton, it was very enthusiastic, and immediately made an appointment to meet at the door of the department store near the office.

In Hefei in February, the weather was freezing cold, Lu was wearing a suit and leather shoes, Ning Qian was wearing transparent stockings and professional clothes, and the two of them seemed to be proud of the frost in the street wind, but they were shivering. At this time, news came from the radio: Comrade Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening up, passed away last night! Lu and Ning Qian looked at each other.

In 1979, it was a spring,

There was an old man who drew a circle on the shore of the South China Sea

Rise a city mythically, and miraculously gather mountains of gold

…………

In 1992, it was another spring,

There was an old man who wrote a psalm on the shores of the South China Sea

The spring tide is rolling between heaven and earth, and the mighty sails are raised on the journey

…………

This is a melody that I don't know how many times it has sounded in my ears, and for Cantonese people, this is a song that accompanies growth and witnesses history. Ning Qian once saw on TV that on January 19, 1992, when he was writing a poem by the South China Sea, Xiaoping stood by the transit bridge at Huanggang Port in Shenzhen, looking at Hong Kong affectionately, and was reluctant to leave for a long time. "I want to live until 1997 to see when China regains sovereignty over Hong Kong, even if I am in a wheelchair, I will have to walk around this land."

July 1st, less than four and a half months away......

It was Thursday afternoon, the people who heard the news, the people who should go to work, the errands that should be done, the soft and warm winter sunshine was quietly sprinkled, and everyone walked in front of Lu and Ning Qian so calmly. Ning Qian said to Lu: The real great man is that when he leaves, I can still talk about dealers on my own, and each of us can still live a calm life at our own pace.

In the distance, a middle-aged man in his early forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was simple and honest and beckoned to Lu and Ning Qian, looking like he had not seen a precocious appearance. "It's Miss Ning, right?" He greeted warmly.

"Hello, yes, you are Manager Luo?" Ning Qian greeted him warmly.

"How did you recognize us all at once?" Lu was a little curious.

"In such a cold day, the whole Hefei is dressed like this on the road, it can only be Lipton's people, right?" Manager Luo said with a smile.

Manager Luo brought them to the company, and the negotiation went very smoothly, and Manager Luo even spent a lot of time consulting Lu and Ning Qian: How to wear so little in winter and not catch a cold? There was enough time for them to visit Youjia's local Caofang laundry detergent joint venture factory, and followed their sales and distributors to see them walk the street with Youjia's unique sales methods.

"It's better to sell Lipton, your box of tea is so expensive and so light, and our box of laundry detergent is so heavy that we can only sell it for so much money, we are actually a porter." Cao Fang's salesman complained with a smile. Yes, they have to ride tricycles, move and carry through the streets, and Lipton, no matter how hard it is, still goes in and out of high-end department stores, superstar hotels, bars and nightclubs. "It's a really inspiring comparison and should go back and share it with our sales team." Ning Qian suggested to Lu.

Lu is also very glad that he has never done this kind of manual work since he worked, and he has always been in and out of high-end luxury places. Coming to Lipton and visiting those extremely simple dealer offices has been the lower limit of his life scene transformation.

Looking at the Youjia Caofang salesmen who were dressed bulgingly and carrying boxes of laundry detergent to the commissary boss to unpack, yard and place the goods, Lu still couldn't help but sigh: "It's still easy for us to do business in the previous trading company!" It's so hard to make FMCG! ”

"As a winner in life, there are only shortcuts along the way, isn't it quite helpless? Deliberately take a detour to experience the hardships of life? Ning Qian said mischievously to Lu.

"Haha, I don't deny that I'm a winner in life. This weekend back in Guangzhou, I invited my colleagues from the sales department to my house for a party. Lu was in high spirits.

Lu's home, one of the top 10 luxury homes in Guangzhou, is quietly located in a prime location in the heart of the city. "The security guards are dressed more energetically than me!" After passing through the curfew, Steve's eyes lingered on the dashing and upright security guard, and said stupidly.

"Where is just dressed more spiritually than you? Obviously looks smarter than you! "Ayu always sees the blood at every word.

The elevator went up to the Lu house with one elevator and one household, and the little nanny of the Lu family was already greeting her at the elevator entrance, and Mrs. Lu was placing the tableware, whether it was Mrs. Lu or the whole family, in one word, it was "exquisite" - the mothers of other children who were only more than a year old were usually disheveled and disheveled, and their faces were like vegetables, but Mrs. Lu's melon seed face and almond eyes, her skin could be broken by blowing, her temples were swept and she smiled smartly, and there was no trace of the burden and burden of a baby. Mrs. Lu took everyone to visit every room and space, and explained the concept behind each detail, and everyone was dizzying and praised.

All the male colleagues began to silently evaluate their yellow-faced mother-in-law, and all the female colleagues were impressed by Mrs. Lu - indeed, this is a model of a full-time wife! After visiting and sitting in the comfortable living room, the married people began to sigh - when the husband said: Back to such a home, I will definitely feel that no matter how hard it is, it will be worth it! When my wife said: When I see such a home, I will tearfully ask the sky - why is my husband not so profitable by Lu Sheng!

Of course, there are also a group of singles, under this strong stimulation, thinking, entanglement, swaying, and envy.

Spring is worthy of being a master of organizing so many press conferences, and opened the interview mode with Mrs. Lu: "May I ask, what is it like to marry such an excellent husband and be such an exquisite full-time wife?" ”

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Sheng affectionately, and said shyly: "Don't look at him so majestic now, when he chased me, my parents were against it!" ”

Yo, such a big material? Everyone immediately became interested, and rushed to ask Mrs. Lu what was going on.

"At that time, he was dark and thin, and he was only a high school student, so where did my parents think he had the ability to like me? The first time he came to my house, he was kicked out by my father. Lu Sheng hid his face and shook his head, looking like he couldn't look back on the past.

"At that time, my parents were bent on marrying me abroad, and the locals didn't think about it at all." Mrs. Lu is really frank.

"He really went to Japan to study, except for constantly writing to me and asking me to wait for him, he didn't return to China for six years." Mrs. Lu spoke very emotionally.

"By the time he reappeared at my house, he was already the backbone of Japan's largest trading company, and my parents had nothing to say at that time, so they could only agree."

"Now do your parents show off my son-in-law when they meet people?" Lu Sheng changed his unsmiling attitude in the company, shook his head and wagged his tail at his wife, and was proud.

"Yes, I am the only one of all my relatives who can be a stay-at-home wife now. My parents' favorite thing to do is to praise their son-in-law in front of relatives and friends. ”

"I'm the most glamorous married in our whole family."

"You're the prettiest too, aren't you?" Perry lost no time in interjecting, and he deserves to be the most talkative and human salesman.

Lu Sheng and Lu Tai are very useful.

"Then what advice does Mrs. Lu have for us girls who haven't married yet?" Judy's eyes sparkled, and she was looking forward to Mrs. Lu teaching her the secret of marrying well.

"If a girl wants to marry well, she must recognize her advantages, have a clear goal, and be willing to give up." Mrs. Lu's point of view was very clear, and the female singles in the sales department listened very carefully.

"For example, my strength is ......"

"Pretty and smart!" Lu Sheng answered in time.

Mrs. Lu smiled sweetly.

"I know that Yizhu is dead set on me, so I will marry him and take care of him in the future."

"During the six years he didn't come back from Japan, I went to learn cooking, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, painting, housekeeping, sewing, piano, and even childcare." The audience was in an uproar! What a super talented girl! No wonder Lu lives such a quality life!

"Women, you can take marrying well as your goal."

Mmmmmmmm

"Like you, Ning Qian, Aimee, right?" Suddenly named by Mrs. Lu, Ning Qian was a little flattered, and immediately straightened her back and listened to the teachings.

"You're not right in that way. What's the point of a girl running around with a bunch of men all day long, living the same life as men? ”

"You should take your time, find a good husband, and put marriage first."

"Don't think that you're working so hard right now, it's a good mix. A truly successful girl is one who marries well! Marrying well is the real skill! ”

Mrs. Lu's sudden series of comments against Ning Qian made the others silent in an instant, Lu was laughing easily, seeing that Mrs. seemed to have a high opinion, she quickly stood up, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, the gossip is over, it's time for dinner!" ”

After coming out of Lu Sheng's house, several girls were indignant together: "Mrs. Lu is good at everything, but what do you mean by saying these words specifically to Ning Qian?" ”

"If you marry well, you don't have to be sarcastic, right?"

Even Jiawei called Ning Qian and said that Jennifer told him that his sister was being bullied. "Is my sister still worried that she won't be able to get married? Really! ”

When everyone was upset about Ning Qian, Ning Qian felt that Mrs. Lu's words were reasonable: I really didn't care about getting married! Getting married can also be a goal like a career, and you can work hard to achieve it!

Ning Qian, who was opened by Mrs. Lu, made a plan of action as soon as she returned to the dormitory:

First: We must attach great importance to marrying from the ideological roots!

Second, it is necessary to have the basic skills of marrying, including but not limited to:

Cooking (won't)

Flower arrangement (no, not required, more on that later.) )

Tea ceremony (will turn Lipton into three kinds of tea magic, does it count?) Calculate! Okay, don't learn anymore)

Painting (Does being able to draw a poster count?) Calculate! Okay, don't learn anymore)

Housekeeping (Does it count as being able to clean up your room?) Calculate! Okay, you don't have to learn anymore)

Sewing (hehe, inherited the good genes of the fashion designer's mother, I know a little, good, no need to learn)

Piano (a little bit of fur, does it count?) Calculate! Okay, don't learn anymore)

Parenting (find your father's goal first)

It doesn't look so bad, and theoretically it should be possible to get married.

Conclusion: Cooking skills for bad supplements.

Third: Find a marryable partner:

List all the male classmates, male colleagues, and male customers who can think of and are suspected of being single.

This: Too high

This: Too short

This: It's ugly

This: It's so dark that you can't see it at night

This: I don't like boys with round, big, and bulging eyes

This: No words

This: I don't understand

This: Too old

This: brother, can't ruin his life

This: Don't like me, do you?

This: There must be a lot of girls chasing after it, right? The competition is too fierce, and it is more difficult than selling Lipton, so if you have that time, it is better to sell more tea......

…………

It's so miserable to draw it down one by one...... Gone......

The tender grass, school grass, and nest grass were all inventoried, and I found that I was indeed not a herbivore......

Ning Qian almost wanted to cry. How is it so much harder than developing customers!

When Ning Qian rolled out the plan to find a boyfriend, there was a person who was also working on the most important plan in his life.
