Chapter 121: Black-box operation
The benefits of gift-giving and win-win cooperation have been thoroughly reflected.
If other salesmen found out that Dempsey, who had always been known for his hard to speak and bad temper, would actually take the initiative to help Zhang Luo order, it is estimated that their jaws would drop.
You must know that Dempsey was able to climb to his current position with a high school degree because he stepped on a supplier and ascended to the position, and he had the ability to get the most reliable quality goods at the lowest price, so that Wal-Mart could maximize profits.
Anyway, this product is not sold, and there is always another substitute to be found, but usually the salesmen ask Dempsey to ask him to eat and drink.
For example, when Chen Linzhi first met Dempsey, it was not a dinner party picked up by Roger Sampras, at that time Roger had not come to work under Chen Linzhi, and Chen Linzhi was just a poor boy with empty ambitions, so it seems that in the first four months of 1985, he did some practical things, and his life and career were not delayed.
If you want to ask Dempsey how he changed his attitude and had an excellent impression of Chen Linzhi, the reason is nothing more than that the benefits are so much that he is tempted, helping to operate two purchase orders, and the rebate he gets is worth ten years of his salary, not to mention that there is no big problem in terms of the purchase price alone, and it is within a reasonable range.
After digging deeper, it is because Chen Linzhi has the ability to get low-price sources, while the cost of low-end goods in developed countries such as the United States is too high, and it is dragged down by high labor prices and high taxes, which gives Chen Linzhi and Dempsey room to collude with each other and operate in the dark.
To this day, the relationship between the two is still strong, and seeing each other is like seeing family.
The door was closed, and no outsiders were present.
Chen Linzhi said to Dempsey at this time: "I have recently tried to expand the scale of suppliers, clothing, kitchen supplies, daily necessities are all right, you don't need to worry about quality, I will not do stupid things to break my own financial road." ”
Dempsey smiled and shook his head and told him: "Believe me, I won't worry about this at all, you should know that if there is a problem with the quality, it will be difficult for you to get the balance payment, right? One of the reasons for pressing the payment for three months is to worry about the quality of the goods, you will never want to be an enemy with our company's legal team, and the end will often be miserable." ”
It is clear that he only wants to make money and does not want to be involved in trouble.
The implication is quite obvious, if there is an accident due to the quality of the goods, the loss can be borne by Chen Linzhi, and Dempsey is nothing more than a little kickback.
Reasonable attitude, Chen Linzhi doesn't feel anything, as a supplier, it is his own responsibility to control the quality of the goods, and he continued to say again: "The balance of the first stockings should be coming soon, I will bring it to you when the money arrives, do you want cash or something else?"
"California is a good place to be, and I've heard that housing prices are going up fast in Santa Monica Beach, Los Angeles, but it's easy to get into trouble in the United States, and the IRS guys, who are already having a hard time, are now learning to use computers and working with banks.
So...... What do you think of Saint-Barthélemy, a French-run overseas enclave in the Caribbean, and I want to move to it when I retire. ”
This is straightforward enough, Chen Linzhi understands it in seconds.
I don't know the housing prices on Saint Barthélemy Island, and I don't know what the rules are for buying a house there, but with the establishment of the Port City branch, a batch of funds will stay in the Port City, and it should not be difficult to buy a house in the past.
Worried that Mr. Dempsey would open his mouth and knock himself out a sum of money by buying a house, Chen Linzhi did not dare to agree on the spot, but nodded and said: "The Caribbean is a good place, I will help you pay attention to the news in this regard, if you can reach a few more orders, the house price of St. Barthélemy Island is suitable, maybe you can buy a manor with a private beach or a small orchard, and I will notify you when there is news, and purchase real estate in your name." ”
Dempsey also understood, the more orders the house is bigger, and the less the order is the small house.
He is not worried about Chen Linzhi stumbling up, after all, he is still early to retire, and compared with the long-term interests of the two sides to continue to maintain cooperation, a house is nothing.
The ambitious Dempsey, half-jokingly and half-seriously, told: "Always buying from your company may make people look at me, you should register a few more companies and try to help me buy a yacht." I'm not in a hurry to buy a house for the time being, I'll talk to you in detail when the money arrives, I've been in trouble in my private life lately, and I don't want my wife to divorce me and take half of my St. Barthélemy mansion, you know?"
In Dempsey's case, the prenuptial agreement must not have been signed when they got married in the early years, which means that once the divorce is officially made, the property between the husband and wife will be handed over clearly.
Buying a house now is a marital property, Chen Linzhi understands this very well, and thinks no wonder he just said "I want to move on vacation", instead of "we want to move on vacation".
According to Dempsey's non-rejecting style of life, divorce is normal, Chen Linzhi still pretended to be comforted, and then asked: "Is it that you and your wife don't have the same relationship?"
"Well, it makes me angry to say that she hooked up with the gardener while I was at work, and that she was the son of a friend in the same community, who was twenty years younger than her, and I was ashamed of her. Dempsey was furious, and only felt a little more comfortable thinking that he would be rich after the divorce.
Chen Linzhi thought of the dancers he had arranged for him, and it was estimated that they were twenty years younger than Dempsey, so they had to be said to be very double standard.
Dempsey was depressed, and then complained, "My neighbor reminded me that something was wrong, and he told me that the gardener would come three or four times a week, which is so fucking disgusting, and whose lawn grows so fast when I am at work!?"
They all said that persuasion and not persuasion, but for the sake of the green on Dempsey's head, Chen Linzhi spread his hands and said: "That's really a pity, I understand what to do, it must be after marriage to buy a house in your personal name, it is best to turn around through overseas branches, and ensure that the Federal Tax Service will not find you here, I will deal with this matter personally, the fewer people who know, the safer it is for both of us." ”
After listening, Mr. Dempsey felt even more that he had not seen the wrong person, and that he was really stable and reliable.
After discussing the details of the next batch of purchases, Chen Linzhi left the Wal-Mart headquarters, he wanted to visit Miss Anastasia, but the office area was too big to find the door.
The third purchase order has been settled, and if there is no problem, with the enthusiasm shown by Dempsey, as long as a reliable source of goods is found, it should be nine out of ten.
The key is that Chen Linzhi doesn't know reliable electrical appliance manufacturers, and there is no problem with producing electric fans on the other side, but ovens and microwave ovens may be difficult to find, and it is too late to customize them.
When it comes to the home appliance manufacturing industry, the most popular in recent years is Yuben and South Korea, and he is ready to seize the time and let Roger make a special trip to the past, or he can personally go to the right manufacturer to negotiate......
