After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 102 Beware of Poor People
Zhou Haoran has something to do in the afternoon.

No time to waste.

I went to the office to get the relevant materials about the North Shore Shoe Factory and then set out to find Shao Kong.

Only Zhan Yushan and Meng Xuemin were left in the cafeteria box.

Staring at each other.

"Look at the money."

Zhan Yushan pointed to the briefcase.

Because Zhou Haoran was very busy, he left the contract and cash to Director Meng and asked him to help with the follow-up liaison with the finance department.

Meng Xuemin pulled out two stacks of money, looked through them, and felt them with his fingers for a while. "It can't be fake."

Zhan Yushan said in disbelief: "Either the money is fake, or the person is fake."

Meng Xuemin laughed and said, "But now the money is real, and the people are real too."

Zhan Yushan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then we must have made a mistake somewhere."

Meng Xuemin has had longer contact with Zhou Haoran.

We have seen him survive in the cracks of the sales department, fighting single-handedly against Zhong Jiantong, Shao Kong and others... Not only did he not lose the upper hand, but he also relied on a set of combined punches to force Shao Kong out of Red Star TV!

Meng Xuemin, who is more experienced, said, "Perhaps we should adopt a fresh perspective towards such outstanding young people."

"Hmm." Zhan Yushan sighed, "Reform and opening up should have given priority to young people."

Meng Xuemin asked, "What do you think of his idea?"

"What's the idea?"

"He said he kills three birds with one stone."

"Ah?" Zhan Yushan was shocked. "Do you think it's possible?"

"If anyone else said that, I'd find it impossible, but this guy..." Meng Xuemin shook his head. He had already been psychologically manipulated. "Old Zhan, tell me the truth. What is the approximate deficit for the channel this year?"

"a lot of!"

Zhan Yushan was vague.

Meng Xuemin said angrily, "Are you keeping it a secret from me?"

"That's the rule. Who told you not to join the staff in the first place?"

Zhan Yushan snorted.

Meng Xuemin is not on the staff.

Like the other salespeople, he had a green-on-black badge, a third-tier employee. Essentially, he was a temporary worker. As a temporary worker, he was an "outsider," denied access to many of the company's secrets.

Meng Xuemin sighed, "It's too late to regret now."

Zhan Yushan said with a look of dismay, "You still regret it? How short-sighted! Just for that little bit of tax break, you don't even want to be on the payroll? If you were on the payroll, you would definitely be included in the last welfare housing distribution next year!"

"It's too late to say anything..." Meng Xuemin didn't want to talk about these sad things, and said angrily, "I'm asking about your financial hole!"

Zhan Yushan said tactfully, "Our channel's funding primarily comes from three sources: first, self-financing from sales within the channel; second, transfer payments from satellite TV; and third, financial subsidies from the station. Both self-financing and transfer payments are earned through advertising resources, so those won't be affected. The main source of funding is the station's subsidies, which may not be forthcoming."

Meng Xuemin asked: "Approximately how much?"

Zhan Yushan said slowly, "This year's channel's budget is 1240 million. Self-raised funds and transfer payments will bring in approximately 1100 million. For the remaining deficit, we can only apply to the station and have the group allocate funds."

Meng Xuemin took a deep breath. "So there will be a financial hole of about 140 million?"

Zhan Yushan said, "If we try hard, we can apply for a small amount of subsidies. The remaining 100 million yuan is difficult to solve, and we can only rely on cutting employees' salaries and benefits."

"It's better not to reduce it!" Meng Xuemin's expression became serious. "Last month, some welfare subsidies were not distributed, and there were already complaints."

"Yes!"

Zhan Yushan had a worried look on his face.

Cutting salaries and benefits is not really a good idea.

Meng Xuemin narrowed his eyes and said, "As for this one million yuan hole, maybe it can really be solved."

"How to deal with it?"

Zhan Yushan thought he was talking about fantasy.

These days, who would dare to casually promise 100 million?
Meng Xuemin said with great anticipation, "This kid has been working for us for less than a month, and he's already overcome so many difficulties. He's also signed consecutive orders worth 30 yuan. There's another big order this afternoon. Give him a chance, give him time, and maybe he'll bring some incredible surprises!"

"Zhou Haoran? Is he okay?"

Zhan Yushan was stunned and a little dazed.

Lost in memories.

I remember the first time I heard the name "Zhou Haoran" was when Tang Shiyi, the producer of "Family Affairs," went to him for help. She said there was a young man in the sales department who was a relative of hers, and she hoped the director would make an exception for him.

To put it bluntly, it means going through the internal recommendation channel.

Tang Shiyi's personality is not very pleasant, and despite her youth and beauty, no one dares to mess with her. However, she is very capable, and her new column "Family Gossip" is one of the flagship columns of the Life Channel.

She never asks for help from anyone.

Zhan Yushan supports and values ​​young people, and gave her face, so he allowed her to participate in an interview for a sales clerk position and admitted Zhou Haoran as an exception.

I thought he was just a relative.

Unexpectedly, it caused such a big storm.

Even to put all hopes on him?

Why does this feeling feel so absurd?

……

In the afternoon, Zhou Haoran and Shao Kong went to the North Shore Shoe Factory together.

The North Bank Shoe Factory refers to the shoe factory on the north bank of the river. Its official name is "Haigang Rubber Shoe Factory No. 6".

The core brand of the company is the famous "Warrior" shoes.

This way you don't have to take a detour, saving both money and time.

Shao Kong was also familiar with him and explained, "A few months ago, the Sixth and Seventh Factories merged and were reorganized into the 'Hui Li Shoe Factory.' After a few months of operation, they successfully reorganized and were able to sign the order."

"Well, Warrior shoes are pretty good."

Zhou Haoran nodded.

The black sneakers he wore when he took the college entrance examination were Huili brand football shoes.

Shao Kong suggested: "We need to maintain a good relationship with this customer. During festivals, we can call him to say hello, or give him a small gift. He will contribute hundreds of thousands of orders every year in the future."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Okay."

Shao Kong felt very guilty for not being able to guide this apprentice, and wanted to seize the last chance to make up for his regret. "The most powerful salesmen at Red Star Channel, Han Pengyi and Yu Liangcai from the comprehensive channel, and Huang Gaoxing from the urban channel, can steadily achieve sales of hundreds of thousands every year. This is mainly because they have many powerful old customers."

Zhou Haoran asked, "By the way, Master Shao, our channel has launched a new incentive policy, which says that the annual sales champion will be rewarded with a Xiali sedan."

"what?"

Shao Kong's face suddenly turned red, and he felt extremely humiliated.

Zhou Haoran noticed his abnormality and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Shao Kong was angry and self-deprecating, "I finally see their true colors!"

"what happened?"

Zhou Haoran was puzzled.

Shao Kong said coldly, "I'm the salesperson with the highest revenue in the sales department this year! In the first half of the year, my transaction volume reached 38!"

Zhou Haoran said: "I heard that Team Leader Zhong also has a lot."

Shao Kong said calmly, "I'm talking about the first half of the year. This week, Zhong Jiantong should have signed another order, surpassing me. However, if I hadn't left and I had won the order from the shoe factory, he would still be inferior to me!"

"That's it!"

Zhou Haoran also understood his feeling of grievance.

Shao Kong said coldly: "The sales case is so serious, but the few of us were able to get through it safely, not only because we are clean and did not make any money that is not legitimate, but also because our performance is very good."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "I understand. I heard that only eight people were ultimately brought to justice in the sales scandal. The others were likely cleared out due to their connections. Some wanted to clean up old ties and reorganize the sales department; others wanted to disrupt the sales department and turn it into a troublesome mess."

"Ok?"

Shao Kong seemed surprised.

Zhou Haoran quickly said, "Director Meng told me that, and I don't know what it means."

Shao Kong then hummed, "In the first half of the year, I was the top seller. It was originally agreed that I would be promoted to sales team leader, and my salary would be raised to level 4. But nothing happened. I am still a frontline salesperson, and my salary is still only level 2, not as good as yours."

Zhou Haoran coughed lightly and said seriously, "That's really unacceptable. Master Shao's performance is so good, he is indeed being treated differently."

Shao Kong said angrily, "Yeah, now that I'm gone, they've come up with an incentive reward for the annual sales champion. Isn't this deliberately targeting me? Zhong Jiantong is a piece of shit!"

Zhou Haoran asked tentatively, "How much sales do you need to win the sales crown?"

"Hmm?" Shao Kong seemed to see through his thoughts, "You want to snatch the sales crown from Zhong Jiantong?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Let's give it a try."

"It's difficult!" Shao Kong shook his head and sighed, "If I were still in Haigang, maybe I could help. The sales industry is easier now than in previous years, and it's getting easier to sign contracts. Zhong Jiantong had sales of 35 in the first half of the year, and maybe he can sign another 35 in the second half of the year."

"70 in total?"

"almost!"

"That's quite a lot."

Zhou Haoran had an idea in mind.

He is very confident!
It’s just an annual sales volume of 70, what’s that?
His previous two orders totaled 30 yuan!
This third order in the afternoon is not much worse!
Shao Kong had already taken care of the shoe factory.

The contracts have been drafted.

Shao Kong didn't mention that he had left Red Star TV and was still communicating with clients in his previous capacity. He just said during the signing that he would no longer be in charge of frontline business, and that Zhou Haoran would be the one to connect with the shoe factory.

The signatory was changed to Zhou Haoran.

Total order amount, 12 yuan!

The advertising period is from August to December this year.

Signing completed.

Zhou Haoran wanted to invite Shao Kong to dinner.

After this separation, it’s not certain whether we will meet again in the future.

Shao Kong refused and whispered, "Be careful in the office from now on. Don't always be used as a pawn by Director Meng. Zhong Jiantong and the one behind him are both very powerful. Be careful not to get implicated."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I'll pay attention."

Shao Kong said, "It would be best if you could find some connections and switch to another channel. The struggle on the Life Channel is intense, and the entire Red Star Channel is watching. Whether Red Star Channel will continue with market-oriented reforms or maintain stability depends entirely on the struggle on the Life Channel. It will be far more intense than you imagine. Don't get involved, or you might run into trouble."

"OK, Got it."

Zhou Haoran felt his kindness.

But unmoved.

For most of the working people, this kind of fighting among leaders should be avoided if possible to avoid being implicated.

This is the most basic rule of survival in the workplace.

Likewise, the greater the risk, the greater the reward!

If you participate, you are on the right side.

There is also a great opportunity to embark on a road to success with a bright future!
