Chapter 124: Turning things around
There is a change tonight, ask for pink~~
At the appointed time, Gu Changqing and Manager Jiang went to see Jacqueline together.
For Huasi and Huasi's sales network, Manager Jiang is much more familiar than Gu Changqing.
Jacqueline sat in her large office with a private meeting room and a panoramic view of Manhattan, and calmly listened to Manager Jiang's introduction to Wentz and the marketing plan for Elena Cosmetics.
Then, she turned her chair, looked at Gu Changqing, and said with a smile, "Miss Helen, do you know why I still gave you this opportunity even though I knew that your company did not meet our requirements?" ”
Gu Changqing smiled but said nothing.
Jacqueline continued: "It's not because of how delicious the gnocchi you made, I can tell you that what you made was not authentic at all and completely ruined the good impression of this snack in my mind" She smiled and shrugged.
Gu Changqing smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I've never cooked before, I've done my best."
Jacqueline tapped lightly on the table and smiled, "Yes, I know, although the taste is not very authentic." However, with each passing day, the taste improves, and I can feel your effort. This reminds me of when I was young, once I decided on one thing, I would never give up easily, no matter what method I used, no matter how hard I put in, I had to achieve my goal" She looked at Gu Changqing, "Miss Helen, I appreciate you very much, if your company has the same characteristics as you, the future is limitless"
Gu Changqing and Manager Jiang were both in good spirits. Invariably, he straightened his back.
"But ......" Jacqueline's tone changed, slowly leaned back in the chair, and sighed, Manager Jiang's heart was cold, and now she felt that the two most hated words in the world were the word "but".
"I'm sorry......" Jacqueline looked at Gu Changqing and shook her head, "Miss Helen, your company may have good development prospects in the future, but at present, it seems that it is still in the growth period, and what our company needs is the kind of company that has developed maturely and has a large scale, and we don't have time to wait for your growth." Although your company already has a certain degree of sales network in Chinese mainland, but for outside Chinese mainland, there is still a blank, that is unfamiliar to you, you do not have this experience, we have reason to believe that you cannot operate our products well. So ......"
Jacqueline spread her hands and pouted, "I'm sorry, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate next time but thank you very much for the snacks, although the taste is not very authentic, but I have a lot of fun." Because it brings back a lot of good memories for me. She smiled.
Manager Jiang sighed secretly, after all, it still didn't work......
But it was a surprise that she finally met Jacqueline, which made her impression of Wenss
Jacqueline stood up and shook hands with Manager Jiang and Gu Changqing respectively, "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate next time" The meaning of sending off the guests is obvious.
Manager Jiang looked at Gu Changqing, this is Gu Changqing also happened to look at her, and both of them saw the nervousness in each other's eyes, because what they were going to say next was indeed a bit risky.
Seeing that the two of them were still stunned and not leaving, Jacqueline blinked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Gu Changqing took a deep breath and asked, "Ms. Jacqueline, I want to ask, have you found a general distributor that you like?" ”
This is not something they should ask and take care of, Manager Jiang looked at Jacqueline a little nervously.
But fortunately, Jacqueline seemed to have a good impression of Gu Changqing, she raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It's okay to tell you, we are negotiating with several large companies recently, and it may not take long to decide, but the specific company has to be kept secret now."
Gu Changqing took a step forward, walked to Jacqueline's wide desk, looked at Jacqueline with wide eyes, and said in an astonishing voice, "Ms. Jacqueline, have you ever thought that if you give up the general distribution agent in the Asia-Pacific region and choose to seek dealer cooperation in various regions, it will be more conducive to the development of your products?"
Manager Jiang watched the two of them from the side, his palms sweating.
Jacqueline's brows immediately furrowed: "What, are you questioning our company's decision?" The tone was a little displeased.
A cold sweat broke out on Manager Jiang's back, and she subconsciously retreated, she grabbed Gu Changqing, and smiled at Jacqueline: "This kid often has some wild ideas...... I'm sorry, don't you mind, thank you very much for giving us this opportunity, we won't disturb your precious time anymore," he said, pulling Gu Changqing out.
Can't just gain the favor of others, and offend others, and their demands are indeed ...... It's a bit too much......
"No, I'm serious." Gu Changqing broke free of Manager Jiang's hand, rushed to the desk, looked at Jacqueline and said seriously: "Ms. Jacqueline, I know I said this, maybe you will think that I am a little unreasonable, but please listen to me." I understand that you are looking for an experienced distributor to make up for your unfamiliarity in the Asia Pacific market. However, the more experienced and large-scale the company, the more there will be some drawbacks, the intricate relationship between the general dealer and the distributor, as well as the entanglement of interests of various brands in the same company, I believe Ms. Jacqueline must also know very well. These factors will, to a certain extent, restrict the development of your products. However, if you give up this link of the Asia-Pacific general distribution, and choose to seek the cooperation of dealers in various areas, then the best dealers in each region of Asia can serve you, play the greatest role in the market they are most familiar with, and you can get more profits without the general distribution link. ”
"Miss Helen, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but this is our company's decision, and it has nothing to do with you." Jacqueline pressed the phone and wanted to call the secretary to see her off.
Gu Changqing said this, the senior management of Elena company has also discussed, but the company's directors feel that the European and American markets have not yet stabilized, for the company, Europe and the United States are the main market, should not spend too much energy in the Asian market, in Asia to find a general dealer is the right choice.
Moreover, Gu Changqing's direct comment on their company's decision made Jacqueline very unhappy. felt that she was reckless and rude, and even discounted some of the good impressions she had raised before.
Manager Jiang saw that Jacqueline was a little angry, and wanted to pull Gu Changqing away, but Gu Changqing was very stubborn.
Because during this time, Feng Jue and her analyzed and discussed this issue in detail, in fact, many of what Gu Changqing said just now were Feng Jue's opinions. His analysis made Gu Changqing pause, she felt that this would be a better decision, no matter who it was. So she felt it was worth fighting for. It's just that Feng Jue thinks that he is not an employee of Huas, and it is not good to directly meddle in Wens's business, otherwise he will persuade him today, and the effect may be better.
"Ms. Jacqueline, Asia is a market that is definitely not inferior to Europe and the United States, China's consumption power alone can already surprise you, China is growing rapidly, and the improvement of the quality of life will make female friends have a greater and greater demand for beauty. And not only China, but also South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore and other developed regions......"
While Gu Changqing said these words, Manager Jiang cooperated with the data statistics that had been prepared, so that Jacqueline could see the rising demand trend of China's cosmetics market in recent years.
Jacqueline took it with a gloomy face, and after a few glances, her face was slightly less gloomy, and she gradually showed a solemn look.
"Ms. Jacqueline, I can say that the Asian market will be a major market for your company in the next three years, and you will definitely make a difference in this market in the future. In this case, you are bound to have a good understanding and familiarity with this market, distribution around the country can show a state of a hundred flowers, not only to improve the vitality of your products, so that your products in various regions to get better operation, but also to make you familiar with the market in the management of the fastest speed, and the sales of products, definitely higher than the task you assign to the general distribution, the profit is more considerable, and you are just in the management to be troublesome, but the absolute advantages outweigh the disadvantages This is simply a good thing in one fell swoop. Ms. Jacqueline, I don't understand, why would you give up? ”
Gu Changqing looked at Jacqueline, word by word, full of confidence. The voice was neither high nor low, unhurried, but loud and sonorous, striking Jacqueline's heart one by one, and then resonating.
If the sales in the Asian market can really be better than the European and American markets, no, even if it is just a European and American market, their company will open a branch in the Asian market, rather than spending money and energy to familiarize themselves with the market at that time, it is better to start now
Yes, managing distributors in various locations does allow for better and faster familiarization with the market, while general distribution is much less troublesome, but it doesn't have these advantages......
At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, looking at Jacqueline with an inquiring gaze, Jacqueline waved at her, and the secretary turned around and went out, closing the door.
When Manager Jiang saw these beside him, his heart was beating "hoc".
It looks like there's a play
Jacqueline sat down, leaned back in her chair and looked at Gu Changqing and smiled: "You said so much, it's just to get the distribution rights in China." ”
Gu Changqing shrugged his shoulders and honestly admitted, "Of course, if it weren't for this, why would I say so much?" Elena can get better development and more profits, while our company can get the distribution rights in China, which is a win-win situation."
Jacqueline shook her chair, "Even if I do what you say, I don't have to cooperate with your company, and now there are the most suitable distributors in the few big companies that contact our company."
Gu Changqing propped up the desk with both hands, bent down, looked directly at Catherine, and said confidently: "Is Miss Jacqueline talking about the Huaya Company in Hong Kong?" ”
Jacqueline raised an eyebrow, "You even know that?" ”
"We have an old Chinese saying, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles"
Jacqueline nodded, "Broad Chinese culture...... Yes, I'm talking about them, and they are superior to you in size and experience."
"But our familiarity with the mainland market is better than theirs, Chinese mainland is the main market, and no one in Chinese mainland can compare with us" Gu Changqing's words are bullish, because she knows that doing business with Americans, the more confident you are, the more confidence you can bring to them.
Manager Jiang secretly wiped a cold sweat on the side, Chinese mainland there are more than ten dealers who are better than Huasi...... The little girl breathed a big sigh......
Gu Changqing looked at Jacqueline, in fact, although she looked like the supreme person in the world on the surface, she was very empty in her heart, and her legs were a little weak......
Jacqueline was stunned for a moment, and then burst out loud, laughing so much that Gu Changqing's heart went up and down, not knowing what she meant. But on the surface, he has to pretend to be calm.
"Okay, I see what you mean, you go back first and wait for our news."
"Okay." Gu Changqing straightened up, his words had come to this, and it was useless to stay any longer. She and Manager Jiang packed up their things, and Jacqueline said, "Leave that data report." ”
Manager Jiang was overjoyed and kept all the prepared materials. Then the two turned to leave.
After Gu Changqing left, Jacqueline looked at the place where Gu Changqing had just crossed the desk, where there were two obvious wet marks, which were obviously left by Gu Changqing's sweaty palms just now.
Jacqueline looked at it and couldn't help but laugh again.
Jacqueline spent five days finding a special company to conduct a detailed investigation on the Chinese market, analyze whether the data given to her by Gu Changqing was true, and then convene a board meeting.
A week later, Elena called and said that she was interested in signing a distribution contract with Wentz in China, and asked them to send a representative to discuss the details of the cooperation.
After putting down the phone, Manager Jiang jumped up happily like a child, as long as there was no accident, the distribution contract in China belonged to them
At the same time, representatives from Japan, South Korea, Thailand, etc., all received calls from Elena saying that they wanted to discuss regional distribution. These companies originally thought that they would return in vain, but they didn't expect that there would be an accident, and they were very happy.
In addition to Huaya Company.
"What the hell is going on? Obviously, the conditions have been negotiated, and they are ready to sign the contract, why does the other party regret it when they say it"
In a luxury suite at a hotel in Manhattan, a young man is furious
The young man was dressed in a black Amani suit and had a handsome face, tall and stylish.
He picked up a stack of papers next to the bedside and threw them into the air, and the papers quickly scattered like snowflakes, many of which fell on another man in a gray suit not far across from the young man.
The man lowered his head and whispered, "I heard that it was Elena's president, Ms. Jacqueline, who suddenly changed her mind, convened a board meeting, and then persuaded most of the directors to get this result"
The man sighed and thought to himself, no wonder Da Shao was angry, Da Shao was determined to win, and he began to deploy a few months earlier, find out all the details of the opponent, and try his best to kick out the strongest competitors, and finally got the favor of Elena, and he was about to sign a contract, but this kind of thing happened, and the position of the general distributor was gone, and everyone couldn't get it anyway......
But...... The agent in China is not talking to them Huaya? This...... It makes so much sense
Hong Kong is also planned to be in China, which means that if they want to buy Elena products in Hong Kong, they must also become distributors under the hands of others......
This is an insult to Huaya and Da Shao
To go back with this kind of result is a shame for the young man who has never lost in the mall......
The man looked at Da Shao, whose face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he had always been a face full of spring breeze, and he was as terrible as he was at this time. The man obediently lowered his head and didn't say a word.
The young man turned around, facing the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out the window at the bustling night scene of Manhattan's neon lights, he took a few deep breaths, barely calmed his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Jason, which company signed the China distribution agreement with Elena?" ”
"It's a company in Chinese mainland, called Huas." As he spoke, the man named Jason handed the young man the information he had just investigated.
"Wenss?" The young man frowned, searching for dry intestines and couldn't think of this company, "I remember that we didn't have this company on our list of opponents. Where did this come from? ”
Of course, in order to become Huaya's opponent, you must also have a certain strength, and the previous Wense was not taken seriously by them at all.
The young man looked at the information in his hand and was furious, "We were squeezed out by such a small and unknown company" He was so angry that he tore the information in half, and then pointed at Jason and shouted: "Help me make an appointment with Jacqueline, this is unreasonable"
"I've already made an appointment, but they all declined, apparently already in favor of Wenss," Jason whispered.
The young man waved his hand and pushed the lamp on the bedside table to the ground, and the "touch" of the fire flashed, and the light in the room dimmed a lot, making the young man's face even more gloomy.
He gritted his teeth: "What the hell is going on?" Everything is happening under our noses, why are we unaware? ”
Jason lowered his head, "This company is too small to be on our radar, so ...... However, I did my investigation afterwards, and it seems that Representative Wentz used means to gain Jacqueline's favor......"
said that Gu Changqing sent Beijing snacks to Jacqueline every day.
The young man listened quietly, he looked out the window, the colorful night scene outside was refracted in his eyes, flashing with a rippling luster, but it still couldn't hide the coldness in the depths of his eyes.
"Jason, I'll give you a day, you use all your networks, the cost is not counted, you help me find out Hua Huaya, and the bottom of Hua Ya's representative this time, what I want is news that can be used"
"Yes." Jason turned and walked out.
The young man lowered his head, looked at the fragments of Wentz's information on the ground, and smiled coldly, "Fight with me?" You're not qualified yet."
On the other hand, Gu Changqing handed over all the matters discussed with Elena to Manager Jiang, and these things still needed professionals. She doesn't have that ability. During this time, she had a meal with Jacqueline. Gu Changqing found out that Jacqueline in private is a very cheerful girl, very confident, very strong, and very charming.
Gu Changqing asked her why she decided to choose their company.
Jacqueline replied, "Your company's hardware isn't the best, but I appreciate the software. I appreciate your company. With courage and energy, the most important thing is that if you can get my approval, you will also be recognized by customers in the future. ”
Gu Changqing said that he would not disappoint them.
On the other hand, Gu Changqing also expressed his deep gratitude to the hero behind this incident, Feng Jue. In order to express her gratitude, she decided to cook a meal for Feng Jue to eat. Since the last time she made Jacqueline a snack, during this time, she has become obsessed with cooking.
After listening to her way of gratitude, Feng Jue was silent for a while before saying, "Actually, you can thank me in another way, I don't mind." ”
Gu Changqing said with a smile: "I think this can better express my sincerity." ”
Feng Jue asked tentatively, "Can I understand it?" ”
Gu Changqing immediately sank his face, glared at him, and shouted, "No."
Feng Jue sat in the living room of Gu Changqing's room, looking at Gu Changqing who was busy standing in the kitchen.
She tied her hair in a ponytail and wore a Garfield-patterned apron around her, chopping vegetables while looking at a cookbook next to her and muttering to herself.
"Cut into an inch of shredded ......"
Feng Jue sat on the sofa and turned around, looking at the potatoes that were almost half a finger thick under her hand.
This is also called "silk" ......?
Feng Jue couldn't stand it anymore, and said to her, "Do you want me to help?" ”
Gu Changqing glanced back at him and shrugged his nose, "No need, I'm doing a good job, you will only help more and more"
Feng Jue turned his head with black lines on his face, and thought to himself, let's just eat French fries......
"Oops." Gu Changqing screamed softly,
Feng Jue immediately turned his head, only to see her looking down at her fingers, frowning, and hissing in her mouth.
Without thinking, he rushed over and snatched her hand, only to see a half-centimeter-long slash on her middle finger, oozing bright red blood droplets out of the ground. He felt a pain in his heart, as if the blood was oozing from his heart.
"I just said don't do it yourself, wouldn't it be nice to go out to eat? You see it's all cut to your hand," his expression was as if it was him who had been cut.
Gu Changqing glanced at him, he lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were long and dense, trembling slightly, she suddenly felt her heart itching, as if his eyelashes were gently stirring her heart.
"It's fine, a little injury." She said softly, "I'll be ...... in two days."
She suddenly lost her voice, and her eyes widened because he ...... He actually put her finger in his mouth and sucked it gently
Gu Changqing withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, the blood on it had been sucked clean by him, and his entire fingers had a feeling of numbness.
Her heart was beating fast, and she held her fingers, which were trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Changqing glanced at him and lowered his head again.
Feng Jue also realized what he had done, it was just a subconscious act just now, and it seemed that he had already done it before he thought about it.
He looked at her, his face was slightly hot, his heart was sour and swollen, and there was a feeling that seemed to be called sweet, and his mind was chaotic
It seemed like a long time before he muttered, "Disinfect ......" and he touched his neck
Gu Changqing glanced up at him, "oh", and didn't know what to say.
In the midst of an embarrassing and wonderful moment, the phone rang suddenly.
Gu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran over to answer the phone.
"Hey, hello." Gu Changqing said,
My heart was still pounding.
"Gu Changqing, the second miss of the Gu Group?" An unfamiliar male voice came over the phone.
The voice seems to be pleasant, but the tone gives people a cold feeling.
"Who are you?" Gu Changqing's heart sank in an instant.
Feng Jue over there heard that her voice was wrong, and quietly walked to her side.
The other party smiled on the phone, and the laughter was very beautiful, but the words he said almost made Gu Changqing's heart pop out.
"I should be a friend of Miss Gu. But I'm curious, how did the innocent second miss of the Gu Group become the representative of Wentz? And so bold and means? Helen? ”
The other laughed twice.
There is a thank you for the pink ticket O(∩_∩)O~() tonight.
