My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 220 Eating and drinking is the way to do things

It was from Han Guobin, He Yuemei, Zhang Lingyun, as well as Shen Cuiyue and Wu Shengyun around him that Weidong began to realize that if he wanted to expand his business, he really needed a lot of helpers.

He started by waving the whip: "The current situation is that we have six major branches in Pingjing, Yuezhou, Shanghai, Echang, Rongdu, and Northeast China, plus two independent sales points in Zhejiang and the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Are you content to just stay in your comfort zone, just to enjoy yourself in the circle with the support of your companions?"

We have to drive everyone away.

Even though as an old security guard, Weidong had never delved into sales techniques, there was still too much that future generations could see and hear about.

What a wolf-like team, what the winner is the king, what slapping in the face during the morning assembly, and of course, understanding applause and other messy things.

No matter which one it is, it is advanced now!
Then he set an example: "Zhang Lingyun dared to go to Northeast China to establish a branch with only one batch of goods. Well, in the past two months, he has created sales of 12,000 cameras and 750,000 sanitary napkins. Now he is the undisputed regional sales king. Do you dare?"

"I used the forums in Pingjing to develop my first team. Then I went to Chengdu, Echang, Yuezhou, and Shanghai to play basketball, engage with campus people, build relationships, and establish a sales network. I've discovered that even though college students from different regions may come from all corners of the world, they're inevitably influenced by their respective cultures!"

"The people of Rongdu, who have always been in Sichuan, are too comfortable and at ease. They tend to be content with a small fortune and pursue enjoyment. So Han Guobin will go there and directly lead them to strengthen their offensive power!"

"With the Nine-Headed Bird in the sky and the Echang people on the ground, the well-connected Central China region has made the Echang university students accustomed to attacking from all sides. But so far, no one among them has dared to take charge of the overall situation, so they are a bit scattered;"

"Yuezhou is the most scattered. They have the most people willing to engage in business, but their cohesion is the weakest. Because they are at the forefront of reform and opening up, they can always get more information and opportunities. Even if we help them develop products, they can find alternative production in eastern Guangdong. They even dare to compete with us for market share. Therefore, He Yuemei went there to sort out the situation and firmly control the southern area.

"Shanghai, needless to say, is a bellwether for international information, and their current sales are the most stable and reliable. And then, there are so many provinces and regions, and you're planning to hand them all over to the Supply and Marketing Cooperatives to sell the goods, while you're just acting as a middleman? What's the difference between that and stepping on me to get a lollipop?"

Now they finally started to get excited: "I'm going to southern Hunan!" "I'm going to western Guangdong!" "No one in western Jiangxi will compete with me, right?" "Is there anyone in southern Henan willing to go with me? I have some ideas and need help!"

The whole scene was a bit noisy at first, but Wei Dong quieted it down as soon as he spoke. "I'm not holding a rally, but reminding you to be more proactive. As a second-level branch of Pingjing Company, or a provincial-level company directly under the leadership of Jiangzhou, you should sort things out before reporting to Manager Pingjing and Jiangzhou Company. Do everything according to the rules, think twice before you act, and plan carefully before you act. Don't act like a vegetable market. I even set up a free market myself, and it was the most chaotic!"

The college students were different, especially the more cheeky ones like the fake foreigner Sun Zetao, who dared to stir up trouble: "Then can we also go to various places to set up free markets?"

Rang Weidong chuckled: "I suggest you restrain yourself. Jiangzhou and Shangzhou are both exploring. If you get arrested for speculation somewhere, it won't help even if you report my name."

Many people actually sighed in unison...

It felt like the fighting spirit that had just risen up in my heart was poured with half a basin of ice water.

Those people in Jiangzhou City have been whispering to each other, and Weidong had already told them that his trump card is actually sales.

I also heard him mention that he was not interested in the city's proud industrial products trading center. It turns out that he has such a sales team of college students.

Moreover, it has spread all over the country, no wonder he dares to say that his products are in short supply.

Rang Weidong was actually explaining the situation to them: "Currently, the sanitary napkin factories in Pingjing and Yuezhou have a daily output of approximately 50,000 packs. We can only say that they are digesting the output locally for easy replenishment. The real main production capacity is still in Jiangzhou. The old factory... after improvements and resumption of production, it produces 240,000 packs a day. The new factory has just started production, and we strive to reach an output of 400,000 packs this year. Combined with the 250,000 packs from the Shangzhou branch, we will strive to stabilize the daily output at one million packs by the end of this year. Everyone can calculate how much performance they can grab. Commissions and bonuses are secondary. This pioneering and fighting process will teach you how to operate any new product in the future!"

With a daily output of one million packs, Weidong's sanitary napkin factory alone will be able to generate an annual output value of three to four hundred million yuan by the end of the year.

In those rough times, there was no warlords, but he just led a bunch of machine gunners to kill people everywhere during the Three Kingdoms period!

"The transport company that previously had 24 trucks recently merged and restructured with a state-owned transport company in Jiangzhou, adding 17 trucks. Has anyone considered how to efficiently manage these trucks to regularly travel back and forth across the country, continuously transporting supplies and generating profits?"

"The biggest problem with camera sales is the weekly production of 25,000 units, which is almost the ceiling. If annual production and sales exceed 1.2 million units, the domestic market may be saturated. So what should we do? Develop new products. Hair dryers and microwave ovens are products they are currently developing. Some of our partners from the Electrical and Mechanical Department of Jiangda and the Shangzhou Machinery Factory are also here. Is it possible for you to form a team to develop a product and hope to put it into production?"

"The Jiangzhou Economic Development Zone has allocated us a 100,000 square meter plot of land for a new super factory. In the future, we plan to have 140,000 square meters of production, office, and warehousing areas, a 100,000 square meter residential area for employees, and an industrial new city with all the necessary living facilities. Have you thought about how to realize your professional talents there?"

"At the same time, a 20-story commercial office building in the center of Jiangzhou will be topped out next year. The eight-story food factory building in Shangzhou and the reconstruction of the new product factory area all mean that a large number of management positions need to be filled."

"So I urge everyone here. This is my high hope for the college students in Pingjing. You have broadened your horizons and enriched your cultural heritage in the capital. You should develop a stronger ability to self-analyze and see whether you are suited to sales, production, construction, R&D, or management. Make the most of your strengths and make the most of your time here!"

It might really be because of Pingjing that Weidong came here more often for various reasons and had more contact with him.

It's more likely because Han Guobin and the other seven had set extremely high standards from the outset, drafting their own work charter and dividing up the work among themselves. This gave Weidong, a complete rookie at the time, a good buffer. In short, Pingjing's university sales team was clearly ahead of the rest of the country.

The number of sales peripheral members recruited through the Olympics, film festivals, brick platform advertising, and special reports has expanded to more than 300 people, spread across almost all universities in Pingjing.

It was now completely clear that the future was not just about selling cameras for commission or selling sanitary napkins and condoms as a part-time job to earn money for studying.

This is a career that you can work hard for your whole life. Even if some people will start their own business, this is also the most precious learning stage.

The advantage of college students lies in this situation where they can point out the topic and draw up an outline. They can skillfully draw inferences from one example and apply their thinking ability.

It was just like the computing power of AI was turned on. It was originally just to allow Weidong to take advantage of the bonus of rebirth to propose some macro directions and use the existing situation to frame the specific scope for everyone.

The guys quickly started to sort out and adjust.

The meeting ended after ten o'clock, and no one returned to school. They all decided to seize the opportunity to discuss it all night.

Because Weidong refused to talk to anyone alone, everyone first formed teams and started groups, worked out a structure separately, and then talked to him on a large scale.

This also made those people in the city look in amazement at these hundreds of college students who quickly gathered in the offices, factory buildings, warehouses, mail rooms, and even in the flower beds and open yards of the factory area, forming groups of three or five, or ten or eight for meetings, and then breaking up and communicating again.

I was filled with envy: "I can clearly see their vibrant fighting spirit!"

"It's just like the young people during the revolution. It really is the sun at eight or nine o'clock!"

"Weidong, we're leaving these children in your care. We need to ensure they grow up healthily. These are the most precious college students right now!"

That’s right, the old leaders in Shangzhou had complained before about asking Weidong to use college students to form a sales team. In essence, they looked down on commercial sales from the bottom of their hearts and instinctively classified them as the bottom of society like scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans.

Compared with the huge base of tens of millions of college graduates every year forty years later, there are only more than 200,000 college students entering the society every year now.

This is a treasure that is urgently needed in all walks of life and has extremely high gold content.

Rang Weidong also formally responded: "Commercial sales are also very important. You are not like the old leaders of Shangzhou who think that business is just a transporter from the factory to the hands of consumers."

Of course, these people are all the first generation of college student cadres after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so their perceptions are naturally different.

The factory was packed with people, and the spicy hot pot restaurant outside the factory gate happened to have some food in stock, so Weidong asked his parents to buy ten packs of cigarettes and moved all the beer and liquor in stock to entertain the college students for night chats. Of course, the dozens of kilograms of snacks that could be found in the warehouse became the best snacks to go with the meal.

Let Weidong sit with these people in the Malatang shop and signal to his parents with his eyes not to interrupt.

They chatted slowly over four flavors of cooked food and a pot of spicy hot pot.

Some people laughed and said that this tradition was preserved by the teacher since the cave dwelling days. Although the conditions in the remote mountains were poor at that time, there must have been tea and pancakes at the door of his cave dwelling.

No matter how far away the comrades came to discuss something with him, they could eat whatever they wanted.

Later, there was a tradition of serving snacks at meetings. After he left a few years ago, in order to streamline and save money, this part of the meeting was cancelled.

The rate of arguments and quarrels has risen sharply!
Once the snacks were put back, everyone stopped arguing again. This is because when people are hungry, they tend to get angry and quarrel, but when they are full, their blood sugar levels are high, and they become much calmer.

The secretary who mentioned Jiangzhou Cola earlier suggested to Weidong, "We're sending the cola to the General Administration of Institutional Affairs for review of the state banquet beverages. Do you want to be brought along as well?"

That's great. What should I do if I eat a lot of spicy food during a meeting?

But consumers recognize this name, so you can give it a try.
