After all, working is different from school, when you are in school, you are basically the owner of spending money, but now you want to take money from other people and put it in your own pocket, you have to put some thought.

After a period of freshness, everyone realized the cruelty of reality and the hardships behind the halo of large companies. Especially in a business-oriented unit like ours, the basic salary is pitiful, 800 yuan in the first three months, and only 300 yuan per month in the future, that is, two 5 yuan a day for lunch money, people don't believe it. Don't you work hard? Are you willing to watch others eat and drink spicy food, while you drink the northwest wind yourself?

Later, I heard from my classmates that he only had eight or nine hundred yuan when he first joined Lenovo and other big-name companies, and he was psychologically balanced. Of course, there is something worse than us, a female classmate surnamed Li signed up for the recruitment of a well-known domestic telecommunications company, and there were a lot of people at that time, and she thought she had grabbed a golden job after being hired; During the three-month probationary period, I got up early and worked late, but I didn't pay a penny, saying that the salary of a few hundred yuan offset the cost of clothing and training...... Do you have an opinion? You can leave immediately, it's a trial! I really want to order a song of Jacky Cheung's "Hello Poison" to give to the boss of this company. In recent years, the company with the louder the brand is often very dark, because in the eyes of the outside world, it is a bright light, and there are always so many moths to pounce, so as not to worry about not being able to recruit people.

At this time, those of us who are very suitable to describe it as "Leng Tou Qing". Buzzing around like a green-headed fly every day, there is no clear destination, and when we talk about other customer units, we say that we ourselves feel annoyed. One has no capital, and the other has no network, everything can only start from scratch, and more is resigned to fate.

The most meaningful thing we can do every day is to sit in our seats and make a phone call outside, sometimes check the yellow pages, sometimes read the advertisements in the newspapers, and some just stare at what advertisements are broadcast on other TV stations, and then call directly on the advertisements with corporate phone numbers, if not, call 114 to inquire about the phone number of this unit, and then find the advertising department or the foreign point to call the planning department and so on. Although the success rate of this method is low, it seems to be one of the least costly.

It may also be an occupational disease, which made me develop the habit of watching TV and only watching advertisements for a while, and the contradiction between competing with my family to watch TV has been resolved, and the elders watch their favorite dramas, and the advertising time belongs to me, and the division of labor is clear.

Huang Yue and Peng Yu seem to be the most diligent in our group, and they prefer to follow the old salesmen step by step, and their main job is to carry bags. I haven't used this method because I haven't figured out what I can learn from this method beyond eating, drinking, and having fun. He won't tell you the key operating methods and prices, and he will tell you to avoid them without giving you face at critical times. Soon after I arrived, I told myself that in this competitive environment, you have to rely on yourself.

In addition to frequent phone calls, I found that answering the phone is also another basic job as a newcomer, one is to withstand loneliness and patience; The second is to learn to dig out gold in big waves and pick out really valuable calls for tracking.

In fact, when I called, most of them were asked, and there were almost no people who really decided to sign contracts for advertising, and if there were, they must be small customers, because several important large shares of customers have long been carved up by a few "old mouths" (local dialects, described as early and experienced people), and only those who they don't look down on can get us rookies, otherwise don't think about it. In addition, most of the effective information is concentrated between 9 and 11 o'clock in the morning, so generally at noon, the old salesmen will go to their own chic, or it may be that they go to the "party" with customers, and I am basically the only one left in the afternoon. The phone rings every few minutes:

"Hey, is XX there? …… Oh, no, then I'll call him on his phone. ”

"Hey, I'm looking for XX, out? Then I'll call again next time. ”

What's more, as soon as I asked if the person I was looking for was not there, I immediately hung up.

In the morning, dozens of phone calls looking for people, why doesn't anyone in this world know me?!

Occasionally, there is one who is not looking for someone directly, "Hey, is it Manggao Satellite TV?" A distinctly Henan accent.

"Yes, yes" finally paid off, I was very excited, thinking that it was a rare opportunity.

"Is it the Happy Camp column?"

"Well, this is Manggao Satellite TV, what's the matter with you?"

"Is the host Li Xiang here? I'm going to look for her...... "Dizzy!"

"Hey, hello."

"This is the advertising department of Manggao Satellite TV, what is your business?" I don't want to be verbose, so I take the initiative to tell the other party that if it's not an advertisement, I don't want to talk about it.

"Oh, can you help me find He Ling? I would like to say a few words to him......"

After fainting again, he got up again and suppressed his anger, "Please call the switchboard." ”

"What's the switchboard?"

"Call 114!" I'm not in the mood to tell everyone who calls the switchboard number repeatedly, and I don't think the operator mode is my job.

Although this is already an old number, and the column team has changed to a new phone, there are still enthusiastic viewers who call and do not regret it.

At first, I was very polite, but then I was bored, especially in the depression of waiting for a business call, and when I answered the phone, I was like this, you said me

Can you be in a good mood? Later, I didn't bother to answer again, so I just hung up.

Qian Cheng, Wang Jian and a few others and I were busy with the things at hand, and we usually gathered in the reception area to chat. The reception area is located on the side of the entrance and exit passageway, separated by a transparent glass wall, so that everyone who enters and exits can see what is going on inside. We staggered and lay in a big swing in the dragon gate formation, Wang Jian and other individual comrades sometimes had the audacity to sleep on the sofa daydreaming, and many old employees reminded us that this kind of behavior was a bit too arrogant, and it was said that it was also rare in the history of this unit. In fact, we have already figured out the preferences of the company's leaders, as long as you can complete the tasks on time every month, it is difficult to care about you. If you need to explain, because young, so so.

One sunny afternoon, we discussed where to pass the time. Although it was September, Star City still felt like midsummer, the hot air poured in from the window, looking at the white sparkling sun, I proposed: go swimming!

"Where are you going?" Wang Jian asked.

"I don't think the pool is very clean and expensive." Qian Cheng added a sentence, in fact, the key is the latter sentence.

"Then go to the river to swim", Don Juan also suddenly became excited, "go to the head of Orange Island".

"Gotta get it!" We speak in unison.

"Shi Nian, do you know how to swim? Do you want to go together? "Let's go together, you can come back after work, and wait for you to have dinner together".

Everyone excitedly invited female colleagues to participate.

"I won't swim, you guys go and take it."

"If you can't swim, just help us guard our clothes, and then invite you to be a guest."

"Well, when the time comes, please eat the yellow duck and call" Don Juan still didn't give up.

"Baoqi, you want to be beautiful, let's go, don't affect my work."

"Hahaha...... That's it. ”

At about half past three in the afternoon, we set off in the name of talking to customers. Four people, two heroic 125 motorcycles, flying also like passing through Furong Road, Wuyi Road, Xiangjiang Bridge, after a while to arrive at the Orange Island floating on the Xiangjiang River like a small boat, the head of the continent is planted with orange trees, the name of the state comes from this, the locals also call Orange Island, water and land continent.

The name of Juzhou was first seen in the 6th century A.D., and the Northern Wei Dynasty Li Daoyuan's "Water Jing Note": "Xiangshui passes through the west of Nanjin City in the north, and faces Juzhou in the west. "On the opposite side of the continent, there is a ferry on the riverside of Liupu Street in the east of the river called Zhu Zhangdu. In 1167 A.D., Zhu Xi, a master of science, made a special trip from Chong'an, Fujian Province to visit Zhang Shu, and the famous "Zhu Zhang Hui Lecture" in history was launched, respectively, in the Yuelu Academy in Hexi and the Chengnan Academy in Hedong took turns to discuss, so the two often traveled back and forth in the same boat in the Xiangjiang River, and Zhu Zhangdu got a good name.

In my childhood memories, the orange island is hidden in the green trees, and it is close to the Hunan water, and the air is fresher than the city or even the suburbs. There are many willow trees on the east and west banks of Orange Island, the tender green and dense willow are graceful, and the deafening cicada noise in summer brings people incomparable coolness.

There are peach trees, mulberry trees, locust trees, neem trees, white fruit trees, and camphor trees from the head of the continent to the end of the continent...... There are many native species that I can't name that grow naturally, and they flourish all year round.

I remember reading an article by Guo Moruo in the newspaper, Guo Lao had thought in the years of the revolutionary war that when the revolution was victorious, he would choose Shuiluzhou as his place of residence, which can be seen to be a good place.

There don't seem to be so many tree species on Orange Island now, and I haven't counted them carefully, and the main ones I see most are camphor and willow trees.

The shade of the trees on both sides of Chau Hang Avenue blocks most of the direct sunlight and casts a sparkling light.

Under the camphor tree is a good place for the people of Orange Island to take a cool breath and relax. Some fishermen dragged small fish boats ashore and spread them out under the camphor trees for trimming, and the children jumped barefoot on the overturned belly of the boat, and the younger children climbed and sat on it.

All the way to the gallop, the river wind blows, and the troubles are blown to the back of the head.

The farmhouses on both sides of the road, the countryside, and the lovely people in the taverns, everything is so harmonious. I have the illusion that today is the weekend.

After buying a ticket and entering the park, I ran directly to the Zhoutou River and jumped into the river.

There is a sign next to it that says "No Swimming in the River" at some point, standing there quietly, and it is safe with the swimmers.

During the summer flood season, the river has submerged the four or five stairs under the terrace, but the water on the shore is only about 1.5 meters deep, which is not too dangerous.

Gang launch. At first, Wang Jian was still sitting on the shore to help us look at our clothes, but he just rolled up his trouser legs and put his bare feet in the river, but then he couldn't withstand the repeated water attacks and got wet.

As the saying goes: often walk by the river, how can there be no wet shoes, since the shoes are wet, it is better to wash your feet, since you have washed your feet, it is better to take a bath. Later, the four of them could only take turns to go ashore to look at the clothes, and they tossed in the water for an afternoon.
