Chapter 3: The premise of the dead wood in spring - the roots are alive, and the rain is suitable for rain
Richard, a marketing intern, didn't know what he was supposed to do, he had no boss to report to, no clear goals, and he didn't understand Chinese. He applied for an assistant and translator for the marketing department, and Cathy was soon in place. No matter what she said, she spoke very fast, with a thick Cantonese accent in English, and often talked and spoke, so she pulled Richard's accent down and spoke Cantonese English together.
Now the most complete is David's business department: Lily the accountant, Wendy the cashier, Jane the planner, Robin, the warehouse supervisor, and Jimmy, the assistant. Mr. Lei had to ask David when William couldn't figure out what MA was, and David said that Mr. Lei was still confused for a long time, he thought about it, and felt that this position could only find a good English finance. Accountant Lily was found from the finance department of the original platinum boat factory, so is it better to find this MA from the platinum boat headquarters? Lei Yue'er remembered that Ning Qian knew the platinum boat headquarters very well, so she asked her who would be more appropriate. Ning Qian suggested astragalus peony.
Ning Qian made no secret of the fact that she had a good relationship with Peony, but because of this, she knew that she was professional, linguistic, and honest. There is another point: Peony is a rare person in the finance department who has no intertwined relationship, whether it is the finance department, the personnel department, or the general office, no one has the motivation to let her go, and it is easier to pull it out. Mr. Lei asked Mr. Shi to transfer astragalus peony to the joint venture company, and sure enough, it went very well. Peony received the order and came over without hesitation, she has been looking for opportunities to work with Xiao Ning, especially seeing that she finally returned to Guangzhou, but she didn't expect that the opportunity came as scheduled.
The money-keeping, bookkeeping, importing raw materials, scheduling, and shipping were all in place, and the machines in the factory were working diligently and efficiently, and Gary's head was big...... After so many days of training, I took the salesman to walk the streets, except for not selling it in person, I used all the methods, and they still didn't sell a single tea bag.
These people, both mentally and physically, made Gary desperate. And these pieces of rotten wood are all from the Chinese side, if they are all replaced, it will make Mr. Lei from the Chinese side very embarrassed - I heard that he picked them all one by one. The more Gary looked at them, the more worried he was that he would be stuck here with long nights and dreams. I can't wait for Mr. Fu to come back, I have to act immediately!
He called Mr. Ma in Shanghai and asked him if there was a suitable sales position there, and Mr. Ma's voice immediately rose an octave: "Yes, yes, great!" The joint venture company we have just negotiated is in need! It was decided on the spot: Gary would be on the poster next Monday. He didn't expect that on this night, these pieces of rotten wood would be dead in spring:
The crying Ah Ping finally calmed down and told everyone: Since this time, she has been walking very late every day, seeing the doors of the shops locked, she has not sold a box of tea, and not a single poster has been posted.
Ah Jian and Ah Peng also lowered their heads sadly. Ade poured beer for everyone: "Didn't we turn over today?" Ning Qian, Brother De respects you! Ah Peng was interested: "It should be Steve to Aimee!" Five wine glasses clinked together, laughter echoing over the food stalls.
Gary's eyes widened when he saw this thick pile of orders: "You guys sold it one day yesterday?" Steve nodded, his eyes full of confidence. Gary didn't squeak and continued to observe for a day, finding that orders were growing steadily.
Gary called Mr. Fu and told him that he had decided to go to the joint venture company in Shanghai, and that the sales staff of Lipton, although the congenital conditions were not good, they never gave up, and in time, there was still a lot of hope. Mr. Fu's voice was full of anxiety, and he asked Gary if he had any suitable sales manager to recommend. Gary thought for a while and recommended a PT Lau to Mr. Fu.
When Lipton's official sales manager PT arrived, everyone was a little surprised when they saw him: he was not at all as tall and handsome and confident as Gary, on the contrary, he was very thin, and he always put his hands in his trouser pockets, bent his neck and legs, as if he was going to hide himself from being easily seen at any time.
Wei Hong, who is already known to everyone as Madam, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she would have a top boss from Hong Kong. Now she really doesn't have the courage to pick up the entire sales department, and finally has a boss and a backbone.
At the first meeting between PT and colleagues in the sales department, they said: "Everyone will sell goods well in the future!" Then he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go their own way. After the meeting, he would put his hands in his trouser pockets, walk around everyone, look around, and if anyone wanted to talk to him more, he would always be with him.
At the end of the day, everyone already knows his situation: born and raised in Hong Kong, 39 years old, unmarried, did not graduate from primary school and went to the bakery as an apprentice, because of a good dim sum, was favored by the excellent family, joined the Hong Kong excellent family, specializing in dim sum making training for catering customers, and then became the sales of the catering channel, because of the outstanding sales performance, became the sales manager of the Hong Kong excellent family channel, which is unique in almost all managers must be graduates of famous universities. Ning Qian was secretly curious: Why didn't she see this PT when she was in Hong Kong?
He stood in the middle of the sales department and said loudly to Ah Hui: "I never dreamed that I could work in such a big foreign company!" "I never dreamed that I would be sent to work on the mainland!" Madam looked out at her boss, who was chatting affectionately outside her office, and couldn't laugh or cry. The pressure that she just disappeared is back now: can this beam of our sales department really hold up?
Every morning when I entered the office, everyone gathered around PT to tell jokes. Whether you tell a joke or not, he will answer with a serious face, and his answer always makes people feel like he is joking. This subtle scale immediately enlivens the atmosphere of the sales department. PT will check each salesperson's visit plan and visit card, but will not read them carefully one by one like Gary, he will ask questions as he flips, and the questions asked are all operational details, and the cheating and slippery will definitely be recognized.
After Madam saw Ning Qian's performance during this time, she didn't have to run outside with the salesman anymore, but she didn't think clearly about what to do. She asked Ning Qian: "One is housekeeping: sitting in the office and doing sales support; One is the field: running around with sales, which direction are you willing to choose? Ning Qian remembered that after all, she was a person who had to get motion sickness when riding a bicycle, so she replied loudly:
"Report Madam, I want to run in the field!"
The more difficult things are, the more you can hone yourself.
Madam is very frank: "Actually, I don't know where to start in the field, so you can find out what to do by yourself, learn by doing, and learn while doing!" ”
Since joining Lipton, it is rare to be able to eat in the company's canteen at noon today, and Ning Qian is now known as Shirley's peony, A Hui and A Yu from the sales department are sitting together. Jane, the planning director of the Ministry of Commerce next to her, kept glancing this way, wanting to see it but embarrassed to look at it seriously.
When she glanced over again, Ning Qian intercepted her dodging gaze with a friendly and determined look. She smiled shyly and whispered, "I heard that you used to be the secretary of Chairman Bozhoushi, so amazing!" You are really beautiful, and your temperament is very different from everyone else. Ning Qian, who heard the praise, was always smooth in her heart, and was about to express her gratitude to Jane, when Jane suddenly stood up: "Fang Chang, are you here?" She greeted warmly.
Ning Qian looked back, and it turned out to be Fang Fang who walked in. After taking off his protective clothing, he is now wearing a white coat-style overalls and a work cap printed with the Lipton logo, giving people the feeling of a scientist. Not only Jane, but other colleagues in the canteen, when they saw Fang Gang coming in, they all stood up and shouted, "Fang Factory is good!" ", even including Mr. Lei.
Ning Qian quickly stood up as well, thinking, "It turns out that he is the uncrowned king here." In Ning Qian's opinion, this is the second time she has seen Fang Fang since the white swan. On the day of Mr. Fu's first management meeting, she suspected that the person wearing the mask was him, but she didn't see his face, and he quickly went back to the workshop. Thinking about it, he should have not seen him for a year, he seems to have lost some weight, and he is a lot more stable.
Fang Hong Kong nodded quickly to greet everyone, and immediately a canteen worker ran to bring out his food from it and put it in the place where he usually sits. Fang Fang sat down, and was about to eat, when he looked up and saw Ning Qian in front of him. She was also looking in this direction, Fang Gang picked up the plate, walked to the position next to Jane and sat down, Jane was taken aback, and quickly moved to the side: "Fang Factory, you sit down!" ”
Fang Gang nodded at her and turned to Ning Qian: "Ning Qian, do you remember me?" ”
"Of course! Young and promising factory director! Fang Gang felt that this girl's voice was so good, it was really like a clear spring flowing.
"I know you've joined Lipton, why haven't I seen you all this time?"
"She's on the street with sales." Ah Hui wanted to say again: "Are you in love with someone?" So caring! But she didn't dare, so she had to leave this sentence behind after eating, returned to the sales department, and then secretly said to Ning Qian. Ning Qian felt that Ah Hui was really imaginative, and this could dig out the story.
After all, she is a person who has been entangled in gossip, and immediately reminded Ah Hui in a coquettish way: "Sister Hui, I know that you care about me the most, love me the most, and everyone seems to like me." You can joke with me as much as you want, but don't say that to other people, it won't have a good impact. ”
Ning Qian returned to the office and found that during this time, a lot of young girls suddenly appeared in the office. As soon as Fang Gang appeared on the fourth floor, at least five or six girls followed him, including David's newly recruited secretary Sandy, and female voices in the office called "Fang Factory" and "Ah Gang" came and went. And Fang Gang greeted each of them with a smile on his face, and he could even be said to be very enthusiastic, no matter how much they asked him to help, no matter how much they couldn't stand scrutiny, he would take it seriously. Ning Qian suddenly felt that this person was very different from the personality she thought he was, compared to a technical man, he was a little too enthusiastic, right?
Every time I saw a group of girls chasing the square side, PT sighed: "This square factory is our Lipton's diamond king!" You girls with vision should marry him, he has a lot of money and a future! His salary is now the highest we have here. ”
Ah Hui immediately inquired about how high the wages of Fangchang were, and was heard by Lei Yue'er, who was passing by, and was scolded by Sang Huai: "Again: we are not a state-owned enterprise with a big pot of rice, we are a foreign company, and we implement a confidential wage system, and we are not allowed to inquire about each other's income." Do you know that in foreign countries, income belongs to privacy! The PT was so scared that he didn't dare to continue.
As soon as Mr. Lei left, Ayu, a cold-faced smiler, asked PT: "Are you particularly envious of Fangchang?" Aren't Hong Kong people richer? You're still sent here, and I don't know how many girls are waiting to be your junior! ”
PT put his hand in his trouser pocket and turned around twice, and suddenly yelled angrily at Ayu: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Ayu thought it was over, and the joke was too much.
"I don't even have a grandmother yet, where did I come from!" It turns out that this is the anger point of PT.
Ning Qian listened to their conversation, and really liked the ease and casualness here. When she saw the fax machine, she spit out another piece of paper, picked it up and looked at it, and immediately realized: I finally have a job to do!
What did the fax say? What will Ning Qian do next?
