232. The importance of socializing
Huang Shouzhen and Chen Ming saw that Hua Xingying was very satisfied with the effect of the hard decoration, and smiled at each other tacitly.
In any case, this project is the result of their joint efforts, and it is of course very happy that everything is going well.
Therefore, after Huang Shouzhen and Hua Xingying confirmed the time for purchasing soft decorations, they went out to have dinner with Chen Ming before returning to the hotel where he had been living before.
"By the way, I'm now in Chuzhou City, and I have officially opened the design market here, and the number of times I will come here will definitely be more and more, and I feel that I can rent a house here, otherwise, I have to live in a hotel every time I come, although the price is not expensive, but it must be more comfortable to live in my own house......
After Huang Shouzhen finished washing up and lying on the bed, he suddenly thought of this matter.
"However, compared to the problem of personal housing, it is more important to set up an office here, after all, I have so many businesses here, and I always have to travel across the city, which is not only troublesome, but also not efficient enough!"
"It's a pity, even if you want to set up an office, you have to wait until next year at the earliest, after all, I'm only a sophomore next semester, and I don't even have time to build a studio in Bailu City, let alone cross-city management. ”
"Well, by the time I get to my junior year, when there are not so many courses, everything will be easy, and then I can let Lao Ye and them draw one person every month, and then take two assistants to take turns to work at the office here, so that after having a stable base, even if there are new customers coming to the door, they can handle it, and unless I need to come over again for a particularly important project, I can focus on Bailu City at other times, and then I can develop together on both sides......"
"I wish time could pass faster!"
Huang Shouzhen thought silently while recording his arrangements for future career planning on a notepad.
......
The next day, Huang Shouzhen came to the sales department of Yinhu Community on time, and then negotiated with the owners who kept coming to the appointment.
The scene was similar to the previous experience, and the first reaction of these owners after seeing him was that they were a little surprised at his age, so young.
"Hou Sheng, you are the designer who designed the simple European style model house of the second phase of the project? How old are you today, why did you come out to do business at such a young age?"
Huang Shouzhen heard one of the owners ask, the whole person was calm, and suddenly recalled that his parents often told him when he was a child that belonged to their life experience when they were young, so he replied with a smile: "Not young, you and the uncles and aunts present should have come out of the house to take the lead when I was my age, right?"
Some people are even estimated to have married and had children!"
"That's right, when we were young, it was because the living environment was not good at that time, everyone was miserable, they didn't come out to work and had no food, and there were many brothers and sisters in the family at that time, not everyone had the opportunity to go to school, how can it be like you now, who are just starting to go to college at the age ......of eighteen or nineteen."
"So, since my uncles and aunts all came here like this back then, although I am indeed in college now, I also have to learn to take the lead, right?" Huang Shouzhen replied with a smile.
"Hahaha, Housheng, you are so sensible, wow, you will think about your family and your parents at such a young age, your parents gave birth to a good son, hey, it would be nice if my bastard boy could be as sensible as you......"
"Who says it's not? This offspring is not only sensible, but most importantly, he also has the ability, you don't know, my two sons are also in college now, but at the end of each month, the next day I call back to ask me for money, which is more punctual than the alarm clock I set every morning......
"My girl is also wow, she is still a student, when I go home for the New Year, I won't even help me wash a bowl, I will play on the computer in the room all day long, watch TV, and even the rice is cooked, and I want to send her to the room in person, hey, I really don't know which man will be able to take a fancy to her in the future......"
Huang Shouzhen heard that the owners who were brought together by him, after being opened up by himself, kept praising him, and on the other hand, he was frantically complaining about his children, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
But don't look at these people, on the surface, they seem to be dissatisfied with their children, that is, they are talking about themselves, if anyone dares to say that their children are not good in front of them, they will definitely be able to turn their faces immediately.
Huang Shouzhen couldn't be clearer about this.
Therefore, from his point of view, of course, he can only see the stitches, seize the opportunity to justify some "shortcomings" of their children, and compliment them, and say some nice things to them by the way, until he praises them for a while and successfully mingles with them.
As it turned out, his understanding and grasp of people's hearts was obviously very good, and these rich people were obviously in a better mood when they heard him praise their children from the perspective of his own young people, and at the same time made their impression of him more and more friendly.
And the benefits brought to him by such a result are undoubtedly huge.
This allowed him to win all the design commissions after just a few hours with the owners.
This is the importance of social skills, and it is also a quality that a mature designer must have.
It's true that strength may be the foundation of a designer's ability to play in the workplace, but in many cases, it is only half the battle.
Because it can only help one designer, knock on the door of most customers on the first impression, but in the end, whether or not you can actually win the project depends on the designer's own social skills.
Of course, Huang Shouzhen only has the corresponding social skills in the face of different occasions, which does not mean that the real thoughts in his heart are completely consistent with what he says when socializing.
After all, there are a lot of words in the social arena, and it's just nonsense that people have to say......
So when the owners with whom he had finalized the design commissions left one after another, leaving him alone, he quickly became his true self again.
He lost the smile that he only had when he communicated, and the whole person became calm and indifferent, and even between his eyebrows, he showed a trace of exhaustion that was completely inconsistent with his age.
To be honest, you can be pure in design, but it's hard to be pure in design, because there are so many that you can't help yourself!
"Then it's time for the modern and mix-and-match client......"
Huang Shouzhen rubbed his eyebrows, took out the itinerary from his bag, looked at it, and confirmed that he was correct, then ticked the box next to the European-style owners in the morning, and then silently put the itinerary back into his backpack.
