Chapter 49: Fighting the Rivers and Lakes Again

Recalling that in December 2004, I got up from the pain with difficulty, survived the most difficult year in 2005, and then left Yichun and moved to Guangzhou, when I set foot on this hot land that I had fought again, the joy of rapid growth and the maturity after the vicissitudes of life overflowed my heart. In the face of the devastated market and team, he also vowed to make a comeback and fight again. The real Meilu is a copper pea that can't be steamed, cooked, pounded, fried, and resounded, and how many people will really leave until they have to? They all have faith, but it's a pity that this faith has been toyed with to tears!

I once again took over the responsibility of the team's replacement from Lin Chao, and in the days when I was away, the remaining inventory of more than 60,000 yuan was basically unchanged except for the part I transferred to Jiangxi. A full 13 months have passed, most of the products have expired, plus the newly received goods from Beijing, Luoyang and Dagang, the backlog of inventory has more than 100,000 yuan. Before I came back, Yahan had already thrown away more than 20 bottles of expired Duobao, each bottle was 196 yuan, all of which were bought with money! This is the case with American passers, real money is reluctant, but once it is replaced with goods, they have no scruples, eat it, and throw it away if they can't eat it. Looking at the remaining dozens of bottles of Duobao, I would think of the part that was thrown away, and my heart began to bleed.

This last inventory once again became the focus of my quarrel with Yahan, she complained that my dog was nosy with rats, but if I didn't solve the backlog of inventory in Beijing and Luoyang, how could Zhang Wei and Brother Wang travel lightly? In any case, it is impossible for Yahan to give me any help in this matter, and she even refuses to eat expired products. The goods can't be expected to be exchanged again, and the few old people left can only be a small part for their own use, and the continuous opening of new people has become my only lifeline at that time. For every newcomer, I can distribute thousands of yuan of samples, and at the same time exchange them for new goods of equivalent value. Sharpening brightener has become my best helper, it is the best way to remove scratches from old products. Late at night after the work of the center, a person wiped bottles in the office, wiped them and then polished them with laundry detergent, and the bottles of old products were refreshed in my hands.

I put my best into the work, and I will personally intervene in any possible part of the whole team, from the initial communication, the mid-term follow-up, the later facilitation, to the order, the opening of the lid, and the family gathering...... Repeatedly, only by working hard regardless of gains and losses, can you establish a deep friendship with the newcomers before they come out, and only in this way can the newcomers be willing to share your worries and solve problems. They would have been told in advance that the products were no longer new, but they did not hesitate to help me. Batches of old products went out like this, and the new goods were returned to the old people of the team and even the "corpses" of the team one after another. For 16 months, my hair turned gray little by little, so much so that it's hard to go out and see people without dyeing my hair today.

Wu Hao's underneath also quickly achieved results, and the later silver medal Yongchao was opened during that time. He is a very simple person, Yahan asked him to get the silver medal in the second month, and he agreed so readily, except for the net amount of 80,000 yuan, he didn't even know what the silver medal meant. For the 2007 Overseas Travel and Emerald Awards, and to revive the team's flagging morale as soon as possible, Yahan was in desperate need of a Silver Medal or a DD. I thought it was too hasty and hasty, but what could I change? I can only silently prepare all possible aftermaths.

At that time, Yongchao was purchasing in a British-funded company, and all the bottles in the world were produced by the company where he worked. Because of some purchasing privileges, he has three or four hundred suppliers almost on call, Yongchao simply has the best list in the world, everyone begs him, which one dares not to give face? In order to cooperate with his silver medal that month, we drove at full speed, he just had to ask someone over, and Yahan and I would take care of the rest. A part-time Meilu newcomer, three jobs after work every day, Yahan and I are divided into two simultaneous work, and it is almost impossible for us to end work at less than two o'clock every night. By the end of the month, Yongchao had a performance of less than 50,000 yuan, and he took out all the 40,000 yuan he had saved in the past few years...... In this way, the team gave birth to another silver medal, and everyone rejoiced, but how many people really cared about the story of this silver medal? The monthly bank loan repayment is the big bad wolf behind our buttocks, desperately running forward, in order to repay the loan, for the award, for the sake of travel, in order to solve the goods in hand as soon as possible...... In this way, a vicious circle slowly forms in the OPP, which continues to expand day after day.

Yongchao, who was on the silver medal, was full of confidence, and he quickly resigned, and I couldn't stop it if I wanted to. If you go too slowly, you can't see hope, but if you go too fast, it's too easy to inflate yourself. Grasping the rhythm of development is crucial to the long-term operation of Meilu's business, but the system and desire determine that everything cannot be done slowly. Yongchao moved out of the company's dormitory, he rented a house, but without the right to purchase, it was difficult for him to make appointments with the suppliers on the list one by one. In 2007, when the harsh winter was still going on, he began to experience the pain of no one like other American passers-by. Even if you listen to the full set of follow-ups and meetings, the chances of being out of the crowd are too low at that time. In the past few years, a large number of Meilu people have died in pain, leaving only a flood of mourning in the market. The negative effects in society are too powerful, almost every newcomer who is invited over has a few examples of failure to do Meilu, and most of the newcomers who come out of the team are outsiders.

Yongchao never got a silver medal again, and after I left, Yahan took out a newcomer from his depths - a girl who worked at Ueshima Coffee, and was still in full swing below, a generation of new people replacing the old. Yongchao has found another job and has a girlfriend, real life is starting to beckon him, he must learn to wake up from his dream, and there is still a long way to go in the future. Later, he still went to the center from time to time to listen to lectures, but I am afraid that the passion of the past will be difficult to find again. Yongchao, who was once passionate, finally left Meilu, and after changing several jobs frequently, he had to return to his hometown in Guangdong, and his family helped him find a very stable job in the monopoly industry...... He never mentioned the past years, and his attitude was cold when he called, I never dared to dial his number a second time, I would still learn about his recent situation through Wu Hao from time to time, and I would feel sad from time to time.

Strictly calculated, Yongchao should be Zhao Yi's two generations deep, and he is also the third generation from me. Today, the fourth, fifth, and sixth generations who are still active will never know the story of our pioneer cows. Yan Zuan won't tell them about the existence of me, Zhao Yi and Wu Hao, we have been completely erased from the history of the team and even the development of Meilu, Meilu has never even had a "revolutionary martyr" memorial, that is too negative! This is the terrible thing about the Meilu business. For the company or the system, the team, the node development model is destined to be impossible to be perfect, as long as there is any node on a line to go deep, then the market is immortal, the people at the top of the pyramid can always be proud, always successful, and all the past in the middle is not important. Just as you can never really wipe out the Internet, you can't blow up all the servers in the world, unless you can take out the company itself, but there are countless other MLM organizations that exist. As long as there is greed and fear in this world, the evil deeds of pyramid schemes will never go away, just like everything else.

I have left the United States, but my descendants are still going forward, and even I can't get all my descendants. In the Meilu business, even if you only introduce one person, then the future generations will be as hopeful for future generations. Once a beautiful road, it means that you have invisibly changed the fate of countless people in the world, who you know or don't know. I was a little frustrated, like this complicated world, which is always guided by the truth but always supported by lies.

In those years of running around, Yahan once considered giving up Meilu, and she found more and more that Meilu was difficult to become a billionaire, even if she was like Mr. Zhou, the head of the system, she might not necessarily be able to enter the Hurun ranking, which began to contradict Yahan's original intention of wanting to achieve a great cause. Especially those American diamonds who bought planes and yachts, most of them were revolutionary pioneers who joined Meilu in the early 60s of the 20th century, and today the global Meilu market is under their banner, and we did it too late, and we didn't even catch up with the first two batches of Meilu China. But Yahan, who has an infinite desire for freedom, finally decided that only Meilu could realize her life ambition of saving others and herself, and she chose to continue to persevere. We used to talk about life together, and I had a lot of headaches with her Huigen, and I always said to her, "You are smart but not wise, and I am wise but not smart." "I have never been able to make her understand that fame and fortune are actually empty sooner or later, and that is just another story of ups and downs.

The continued light market and meager popularity forced Yahan and I to sit down and start thinking deeply. Yahan often sighed that in 1995, those current crowns were strangers on the streets of Guangzhou, and they didn't even know a word of "bird language", and they could bring hundreds of newcomers in one day, but today is long gone, no one knows the beauty of the road, and the negative effect is not small, if you want to get out of the predicament as soon as possible, you have to find another way.

Lin Chao and Xiaodong's corporate consulting company had already ended bleakly at that time, and several people together lost a total of more than 30,000 yuan, and Lin Chao had to go away. And Ma Zuan's similar attempt in Yantai was not very good, and in the end, he still lost his wife and lost his soldiers. Once you are busy with the normal business of the consulting company, people will not be interested in the United States.

Manager Dayan was in Beijing at that time, because the public dietitian who applied for the examination had a relationship with the people of the food association, we decided to act as an agent for the association's project to become the training base for public nutritionists in Tianjin. Doesn't Meilu also talk about nutrition? Graduated public nutritionists can sell products directly with a little guidance, and they can just change the training store, sharpening knives and cutting wood.

Yinzhang Wang Qiang was the only remaining backbone of our team in the city at that time, his main line was in Guizhou, Tianjin was already a serious "light pole commander", if it wasn't for his girlfriend Xiaoxian running to work, I don't know what else he can live on. He was the secretary of the director of the Public Security Bureau, and in his early years when he was a grassroots police officer, he had raided the venue of the American passers-by, and he later fell in love with the little beauty of our team, and was once recognized as the golden boy and girl of our team. Because of love, he stepped into the door of Meilu step by step, and later when most people chose to give up, and even his girlfriend Xiaoxian was depressed, he firmly became the backbone of the team. His parents have always been very sad about his resignation from public office and full-time American Road.

Yahan, Wang Qiang, and I, together with Manager Dayan who came from Beijing, all felt that it was necessary to set up a health consulting company after some discussion, and while expanding the enrollment business of public nutritionists, and gradually introducing the trained dietitians into Meilu, even if one out of ten people could be produced. In addition, it is also profitable to act as an agent for this project, and it also makes sense to pay the rent of the center for the time being and help the full-time partners of the team transition to the current survival. From now on, we can openly appear in the name of food associations and relevant state departments, and we no longer have to worry about being implicated in the notoriety of Meilu and hiding our heads.

We quickly registered the company and the company logo and new business card were designed quickly. The World Trade Center has been cleaned up, except for the sample display of Bexijian, all traces related to Meilu have been removed, and we want to create a new world of complete nutrition, and in the future, it will become the cradle of Tianjin's public nutritionists.

In order to win the agency as soon as possible, we have made a big concession to the food association, they are responsible for the certification of qualifications and the appointment of expert lecturers, while we are mainly responsible for the recruitment and training of students in Tianjin. Since the food association is one of the six agents authorized by the relevant state departments, we have to give 65% of the tuition fees, and then they will share the profits with the relevant departments. This is an extremely demanding condition, because 35% of the space also includes all marketing and operating costs, but we have to reluctantly make it difficult for the sake of this legal coat. Our idea at that time was that once this road was completed, we would quickly replicate the whole team and take a professional road to beauty.

Yahan is the general manager and marketing director, focusing on recruitment; Wang Qiang is the training director, responsible for the organization and implementation of the training course for public nutritionists; As the Chief Operating Officer, I am responsible for all other internal and external matters in addition to the work of the two directors. Because the distribution of interests could not be discussed, Manager Dayan took her few remaining backbones to form another company, we are responsible for the city, and the Dagang, Tanggu and Beijing markets outside the city belong to her. We began to advertise in the newspapers, and every job fair at the International Exhibition Center was also unsuccessful. For a while, we even sent out enrollment brochures and conducted nutrition surveys in Tianjin's most prosperous business districts. The Meilu people in the team have all become admissions specialists, with no salary and no benefits, whoever recruits students will have a commission, and this student will be his front row if he does Meilu in the future. We have also recruited a lot of new employees who will be our follow-up in the future. For these admissions specialists who didn't know anything about Yu Meilu and the students recruited through the admissions advertisement, the three of us took lots, distributed them equally, and followed up separately. There was no ribbon cutting, no celebration, and our "Civilian Night School" opened quietly, in the cold winter of Meilu.

After the recruitment advertisement, job fair, roadside survey and personnel introduction, the first thing to do is to promote the concept, and the business briefing of Meilu has been completely transformed into a nutrition OPP: after the passionate music, we will first come to the VCD "Century Forum", followed by the "Fifth Wave of Wealth" and the "Vision Value" of nutritionists, then "professional life orientation" and "course introduction", and finally "post-meeting meeting" and "answer objections". It's all new wine in old bottles, and of course it's easy for us to get it.

The first training started as scheduled, and most of the initial trainees were still Meilu people in the team, because they could not save their capital if they did not reach 40 people, so many team members and even Meilu's "corpse" were fooled into the training class by us. As soon as the first class started, we began to make difficulties for the next batch of students, because the first phase consumed all the human resources of the team, and it was impossible for the next phase to have any more American passers. We have been given a two-month respite to plan our marketing strategies for the next batch of trainees. I have developed a marketing mechanism for recruitment, just like the team remuneration of Meilu, if the students you develop also recruit students, then you can also get a small leadership bonus, and the same is true for depth......

In order to strengthen the understanding of the experts from Beijing, we changed the product training on Tuesday to a nutritional digestion class, which is free for all students to participate as one of the special offers at the time of registration. We will talk about advanced nutrition in a simple and colorful way in a unique way of Meilu people, and emphasize the strength and brand of Beixijian when it is convenient; On Friday, the class is only open to American passers-by, and the content of the lecture is the same as before. In order to create a comprehensive nutrition world, we have launched a fasting and detoxification experience camp, and the public dietitians after graduation are our best students. Three days of vegetable juice detoxification in the mountains plus nutrition, travel expenses, accommodation, the cost of 480 yuan, we charge 580 yuan, a small profit at the same time with some goods, production, supply and marketing one-stop to take the road of industrialization and beauty.

Such a training course has been carried out for many periods, and there have been certified students and admissions specialists who have been introduced by us to Meilu, even if they do not do Meilu, students will have some consumption, and the two-month public nutritionist training has already instilled their nutritional concepts deep into the bone marrow, and the consumption of Beixijian has a little extra bonus, why not? Externally, we are just a health institution mainly engaged in the training of public nutritionists, and the agency of Beixijian and fasting and detoxification are just the company's side business.

In order to create a new image of the new company, Yahan reluctantly took out 40,000 yuan, and we decided to renovate the World Trade Center. When the new company was formed, Wang Qiang invested 10,000 yuan, and he couldn't get the money anymore at that time, and all the rest of the expenses had to be borne by Yahan. Lin Chao was already preparing his bags before going abroad, and Mr. Xiaoyan was also looking forward to promotion with all his might, and there was no one to work with me to make suggestions for the new center.

A month later, the World Trade Center was transformed into a Healthy Living Pavilion, and our future career was just getting on track, with the momentum created by the graduates of several batches, and the number of students began to flow in. But at this moment, there was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and we were accused. It turned out that the relevant state departments still have an agent in Tianjin, because they have not done direct sales and have no industry background in the field of nutrition, so our business is naturally declining and withering day by day. They used a lot of connections, and in the end we lost the lawsuit. Unable to continue the recruitment and training of public nutritionists, the new company was cut off all at once, and we had to start looking for new projects.

After the company was shut down, Wang Qiang fell into a deep hesitation, he didn't know whether to continue to hold on in Tianjin, in this familiar city, they could no longer recommend anyone. I suggested that he go to Guizhou for development, where there is his main market, and the silver medal below him lacks the necessary team driving force, Guizhou has no low folds, and there should be no big problem with the support of his mother-in-law. Wang Qiang and Xiaoxian finally left, and only me and Yahan were left in the beautiful center, as well as a bunch of insignificant newcomers and people who were not new or old. In October 2008, I called Wang Qiang and Xiaoxian in Guizhou, and solemnly informed them that I had decided to give up on Meilu, and I hoped that they could also drop everything and start over. Xiaoxian was desperate, and she begged me to give her some more encouragement with a little crying, but what else could I encourage them? Do you encourage them to continue to bury their youth in hopeless careers? In September last year, I heard that they finally reached a Los Angeles tour, and I know the foundation of the Guizhou team, but I really don't know how much debt they have for this trip? I can only silently bless them in my heart, good brothers and sisters who have fought together.

Dalin in Jinan started as scheduled after I returned to Tianjin, and I would go to Jinan to help him for a few days every month. He hung in the center of Chen Zuan in Jinan, and like me, Dalin was an automatic wave as soon as he came up, and his rich social experience made him quite prosperous in the center of Chen Zuan. In return, I will often help Chen Zuan give big lectures, and almost every time he succeeds in the ridge, I will be invited to come over, which is the first senior department I have personally cooperated with after being officially recognized by the system as a diamond. Every time I got my speech money back, Yahan was very happy, and it was one of the few non-operating revenues we had at that time. Yahan hasn't been hired for a long time, and there are fewer and fewer people who ask her to give lectures. In Meilu, a leader who has not been hired for a long time does not have much box office appeal.

Jinan's Chen diamond was originally a diamond from Yantai, and after the local market was saturated, he ran out to explore foreign markets. Qingdao has two crown ambassadors beyond the system, and the people who call the crown system can't squeeze in at all, and Jinan is the world of the Beideli system, but the boss of the Jinan Beideli system is crumbling due to the team's significant shrinkage, which gives Chen Zuan an an opportunity. Chen Diamond is a diamond from 2005, but he still has no award. By 2007, Chen Zuan basically relied on fasting and detoxification to boost his turnover, and his team was doing all their best to promote detoxification, and it was normal for not many newcomers to join.

At the beginning, the villa had not been sold for most of the year in the Jinan market, which caused me huge economic pressure, and I hastily went on the road with only 100 yuan in my pocket several times. Once I arrived at Jinan Station, I found that I was still a few yuan away from buying a ticket, but I couldn't call Dalin, wasn't that invisibly poisoning the department? It's really hard to beat a hero for a penny, so anxious that I was looking for money all over the place, but I couldn't even find a steel hammer, and finally had to rely on the platform ticket to get on the train and evade the ticket before returning to Tianjin. A dignified diamond can't afford a return ticket worth dozens of yuan, and the scene of looking for money everywhere is so profound that it is unbearable to look back whenever I recall that experience. Several times Dalin asked about our income, I cleverly prevaricated, with the villa in hand, we are still successful people, but he counted our department with his fingers but could not calculate our income of 700,000 yuan, I had to lie that the income was still 300,000 yuan, but the embarrassment of life was completely impossible to hide.

Dalin began to slowly have his own small team, and he also went to 12%, I hope he can get on the silver medal as soon as possible, but Meilu's years of experience make me understand that such a good seedling cannot be pulled out to help grow, and I can't make up my mind to let him go straight to the sky. If Dalin was in Tianjin, he might not have been so lucky, Yahan was unable to take care of the foreign departments at that time, and Dalin was able to grow up slowly under my protection.

Dalin later opened the front row of a fruit and vegetable bar, and the first store was near today's Shandong Normal University. We always pay close attention to this kind of new things that are related to health and nutrition, and Dalin even opened a fruit and vegetable bar in the gym that mainly combines the functional fruit and vegetable juice of Bexijian. In those days when the market was extremely rejected, we made the necessary attempts to avoid cutting directly into the American Road.

It is trouble-free to be straightforward and beautiful, and it is also a prostitute to go around the bend to do Meilu. In those days, as soon as you mentioned Meilu, the newcomers would run away. People are forced out! In the bleak years of the market, the sows all went up the tree.
