After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 147 Don’t Look at the People, Just Look at the Ranking

Our ancestors said that we should travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books.

If you do this, you can understand three parts of the world even without leaving your home.

This is "The World Before Your Eyes".

Can't do it...

If your cognitive circle is limited to a small circle, you will develop a huge cognitive bias and think that "the whole world is right in front of you."

Boss Yang from the electric kettle factory was trapped in his own small circle.

This is the limitation of the times.

In the past, information was closed, the economy was backward, and education was damaged, so many people were ignorant.

He likes reading newspapers.

I thought everyone in the world liked reading newspapers.

Fortunately, Zhou Haoran helped him break out of the circle through a letter and opened a door for him to the new world of information.

The same thing happened in the sales department of the Lifestyle Channel.

The weekly meeting has begun.

Zhou Haoran is not here.

This has caused some controversy.

Not coming to the meeting again?
How is this possible?

An important significance of the weekly meeting is to prove that employees are in the port.

Since you didn't come to the regular meeting, did you go traveling out of town?
Meng Xuemin explained that Zhou Haoran went to sign the contract.

No one believes this.

Signing on Saturday?
Are you kidding me?
It’s impossible to sign the contract on Saturday!
This is the empiricism at work.

In the past, salespeople typically worked with state-owned enterprises and state-owned factories. It was impossible to sign deals on Saturdays. Even if the marketing department was still working, the legal and finance departments might be off.

Based on this judgment, it is impossible for Zhou Haoran to sign the contract today.

What about others?
Even if you didn't go traveling, there was a high probability that you went somewhere to laze around!
The main person who started the trouble this time was Tian Kai, the leader of Group 2.

Before this, Tian Kai and Zhou Haoran had no conflicts.

Although Tian Kai, like Zhong Jiantong, was a veteran of the sales department and also a member of the opposition, he was relatively calm and did not jump out to fan the flames.

Things have been different recently.

Zhong Jiantong has become obedient due to continuous setbacks.

Tian Kai took his place.

It just so happened that he was competing with Zhou Haoran for the second place on the sales list, so he was deliberately targeted.

Meng Xuemin was much more relaxed about this.

Although they take turns to fight, their nature is slightly different.

When Zhong Jiantong went into battle, he directly targeted him; now that it was Tian Kai's turn, he became much weaker and only dared to attack Zhou Haoran.

Meng Xuemin had plenty of room to resolve the dispute. He said in a deep voice, "Some comrades have been trying to create an atmosphere of disunity in the office. This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!"

Tian Kai said angrily, "Director Meng, there is a rule in the station that unless there is a special reason, everyone must attend the weekly meeting."

Meng Xuemin said calmly, "Zhou Haoran has a special reason."

"What reason?"

"He went to sign the bill."

"Sign the contract?" Tian Kai thought this was ridiculous. "Today is Saturday."

Meng Xuemin said unhappily, "Just because you can't sign the order on Saturday doesn't mean others can't!"

Tian Kai couldn't help but laugh. "Director Meng, you've been the sales director for so many years, switching from the urban channel to the lifestyle channel. You should have quite a few clients, right?"

"Hmm?" Meng Xuemin's face darkened. "What do you mean?"

Tian Kai said sarcastically, "I heard that the Urban Channel is complaining that many of their customers have gone to the Lifestyle Channel."

"This has nothing to do with you."

Meng Xuemin remained very calm.

This kind of thing is inevitable.

After all, the sales talents in Groups Three and Four are mainly his old subordinates brought over from the Urban Channel.

Tian Kai said seriously, "This really has nothing to do with me, but it has affected the image of our sales department. We work so hard, but our colleagues in other channels have the impression that we are trying to steal orders."

This was quite sharp. Meng Xuemin said calmly, "No, I'm handling it."

Tian Kai said meaningfully, "Director Meng, a lot of people are already talking about this. Please don't bring in any more old customers from the Metropolitan Channel. You can't forget your organizational principles just to promote a young person, right?"

The implication is that it is directed at Zhou Haoran.

How could he, a newcomer, sign so many orders in a row?

Isn’t it Director Meng who is helping behind this?
Meng Xuemin could be justified in this matter, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the internal discussions will spread outside!"

Tian Kai was not convinced, "Director Meng..."

"Alright!" Meng Xuemin interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "It's meeting time now. We'll discuss Zhou Haoran's matter after he gets back! I have an important announcement now. Two apprentices will be assigned to us at the end of the month. To be fair, these two apprentices will be given to the top two salesmen."

Some people are learning about it for the first time.

But some people have already received the letter.

Zhong Jiantong said happily: "This is good, fair and just."

Tian Kai was also very satisfied. "Old Zhong takes one, and I take one. This can also avoid some unnecessary controversy."

"Huh?" Meng Xuemin didn't give them a good look. "I told you, they're the top two on the sales list."

Zhong Jiantong smiled but said nothing.

The old god is here.

He has no pressure.

He is number one on the sales charts, way ahead.

He must be one of the apprentices.

Tian Kai was different. He said angrily, "Director Meng, what do you mean? Aren't Lao Zhong and I the top two on the sales list?"

"Are you?"

Meng Xuemin asked back. "I'm not?"

Tian Kai's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

Meng Xuemin said indifferently, "I don't care who takes the top two spots on the sales list. This is a fair opportunity for every salesperson, and they compete based on their abilities. The final rule is that the two apprentices will share the prizes with the top two salespeople."

Tian Kai couldn't help but laugh, "Director Meng, you're not talking about Zhou Haoran, are you? Can he compete with me for second place?"

"I told you, he's gone to sign the contract." Meng Xuemin looked down at his watch. "Calculating the time, he should be back by now."

"Did he really sign the bill?"

Tian Kai's expression suddenly changed, and then he realized that he was waiting here.

Meng Xuemin said in a deep voice, "Tian Kai, this is the weekly meeting, no one is joking with you! Be serious!"

Tian Kai was now certain.

Director Meng didn't even think of assigning the apprentice to himself... He was thinking of assigning the apprentice to Zhou Haoran!
This is not possible!

The apprentice this time is not an apprentice in the general sense.

Those who came this time were all college students, and they were all reserve cadres in the station.

This apprentice must be snatched away!
"Director Meng..."

Tian Kai's words were not finished yet.

The door to the sales department opened.

A dusty young man walked in.

It’s Zhou Haoran!
"Haoran, are you back?"

Dong Zhiye stood up and greeted him happily.

Originally, Brother Ye Hongyun had a good relationship with Zhou Haoran, but he was a salesperson in Group 2 and a subordinate of Tian Kai, so it was not convenient for him to stand up.

Zhou Haoran said apologetically, "I'm sorry I'm late. I just went to sign a contract. After signing it, I declined the client's invitation to dinner and hurried back to attend the meeting. How are you? Am I not late?"

Dong Zhiye was secretly surprised, then smiled and said, "Not too late, not too late, just in time! There's a matter about an apprentice, and we were just talking about you!"

"apprentice?"

Zhou Haoran pretended not to know.

Dong Zhiye said, "Yes, the sales department will have two apprentices at the end of the month. The director wants to give them to the top two salespeople for fairness... By the way, did you successfully sign the deal?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "It's done."

"Which client?"

"An electric kettle factory...an unknown one, privately run."

"Private enterprise?"

Dong Zhiye was slightly stunned.

The other colleagues present also felt incredible.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I don't have many old clients, so I went out to canvass the streets and found a private company willing to cooperate... Oh, yes, the contract is here. Director, please take a look."

As he spoke, he took out the signed contract from his briefcase and handed it over.

Meng Xuemin felt relieved. He took the contract, glanced at it, and said seriously, "I'm just telling you this. Two apprentices will be coming at the end of the month. The organization has decided to let the two best salespeople take charge. To be fair, the top two salespeople will take charge. Is that okay with you?"

Tian Kai quickly said, "Haoran, you are still young and lack experience."

"Team Leader Tian is right. I do lack experience in mentoring apprentices." Zhou Haoran nodded, then changed the subject, "However, if the team needs me to step up and mentor an apprentice, I will definitely accept this arduous task without hesitation!"

After hearing this, Tian Kai almost vomited blood in anger.

Meng Xuemin said seriously, "The top two salespeople will be the ones to take on apprentices. This is the established rule."

Zhou Haoran said: "Since it is the sales department's rule, I will definitely abide by it."

"Don't look at the people, just look at the list."

Meng Xuemin's words are righteous and his fair and just attitude is very impressive.

On the sales list, Tian Kai and Zhou Haoran now both have sales of 47, ranking second.

Now Zhou Haoran has signed another deal.

No matter how small the amount is, it can break the balance.

Tian Kai still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

This order was signed with a private enterprise.

Private enterprises are all dirt poor, how can they have any money?

Maybe the amount of this order is only 1 or 2 yuan.

If the gap is not big, Tian Kai feels that with some effort, he still has a chance to fight for it!

There’s still more than a week left until the end of the month, and it’s not over yet!

Tian Kai took a deep breath, forced a smile, and asked, "Xiao Zhou, how much is your order? Is it 5?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I got it."

"Have?"

Tian Kai was slightly stunned.

Zhou Haoran said frankly: "The order amount is 12 yuan, and the main launch period is the second half of this year."

"12?"

Tian Kai was stunned immediately.

He had been trying to force a smile on his face, but at that moment he froze on the spot, his face covered with a layer of deathly paleness.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Yes, this order is for 12... I might be in the novice protection period, I'm really lucky."

"hehe."

The colleagues in the office were all trying to force themselves to smile, but their smiles were not very natural.

Meng Xuemin said with a smile, "It's okay. Apprentices will come at the end of this month, and at the end of next month. This time, the top two will lead the apprentices. Next time, the third or fourth will lead the apprentices. We must treat everyone fairly and justly!"

Tian Kai almost fainted from anger.

What a bully!
The apprentices at the end of this month are all college students on rotation and are reserve cadres.

Of course, everyone would rush to accept him as a disciple.

The apprentices who come here at the end of next month will all be real apprentices, all recruited from society... they are all peasants with no education and no connections.

I don’t want an apprentice like this even if it’s free!
But Director Meng, in order to show his fairness, actually said that the allocation of apprentices next month will also be based on the performance of the sales list... It's terrible, life is unbearable!
