After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 153 Insidious move
Zhou Haoran spoke the truth.

He sincerely believed that the current sales department atmosphere was very good. The team leaders of Group One and Group Two dared to defy authority and confront Director Meng, which could be said to have greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the department.

If this continues, even without Zhou Haoran, the sales department's performance in the second half of the year can be greatly improved.

This kind of fierce internal competition can create huge productivity.

Creativity comes from competition, not unity.

But in this day and age, such ideas are hard to resonate with people.

Not to mention this era.

Even twenty or thirty years later, this idea is still limited to individual departments within a few great companies.

For example, the technical department and product department in large Internet companies.

Zhou Haoran is a participant.

His former boss is also a big shot on the Forbes rich list and a world-class billionaire.

The boss would occasionally participate in technical and product meetings.

It's just embarrassing.

The boss is not the one who gives orders, but the one who is criticized and ridiculed.

An engineer can shut up the boss by telling him that he doesn’t understand technology and shouldn’t give orders; a product manager can also silence the boss by telling him that he doesn’t understand users and shouldn’t lead the charge.

If a small manager has a different opinion from that of the big boss.

Who do you listen to?
Listen to the young manager.

The team does things according to the requirements of the junior manager.

If something goes wrong and it turns out that the junior manager's thinking was wrong, then do it again according to the boss's instructions.

In departments like technology and products, there is no concept of hierarchy at all.

Banging the table, throwing things, quarreling and getting angry are common occurrences.

No matter who comes, the conference room is always noisy and full of arguments... After the argument, the winner will become the one who implements the plan and obtain the most resources.

In a word, resources must be fought for through strength.

Even if you are a big boss, you cannot rely on your positional power to manipulate resource allocation from top to bottom.

The big boss has to coax technical and product talents, tolerate their rebelliousness, accept their arrogance, and worship them like fathers.

It is this kind of mechanism that has given domestic Internet companies a huge space for free development in the fields of technology and products, and has also enabled them to achieve remarkable achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. In some aspects, they are even more powerful than the technology giants in Silicon Valley.

However, this is limited to the technology and product departments.

If it comes to departments like finance, human resources, purchasing, marketing, logistics, and administration, there's a whole different set of rules. When the big boss shows up, anyone who dares to disobey or even contradict him face-to-face is doomed.

Zhou Haoran is a typical internet thinker who transforms technology into products.

Also selling books.

He will definitely focus on training high school classmates such as Dongfang Lang, Wang Wenrui, Tian Yueran, and Chen Zixuan.

Because they are active in thinking and dare to go against him.

Zhou Haoran is not afraid of anyone making mistakes and causing him trouble.

I’m afraid of being docile and obedient like a sheep.

The market is a game where wolves eat sheep.

The world is full of sheep.

Eat whatever you want.

He needs to train a few more wolves around him to help him hunt.

As for Li Changxing and Jiang Xiong...

These two people are too obedient, so they can only be tools.

If you have to choose between Li Changxing and Jiang Xiong, you must choose the latter.

Jiang Xiong at least had a degree of subjective initiative, his own judgment and thinking, and the courage to question. Li Changxing's publishing business was very passive, limited to taking orders, printing, and shipping. This kind of asset-heavy and cumbersome business can easily make people increasingly depressed, both physically and mentally.

Zhou Haoran was not in a hurry.

You can move forward slowly.

His friends have just graduated from high school and still have a long way to go.

For now, we have to resolve the matter reported by Tian Kai first.

Director Meng said cautiously, "Although a person of integrity fears no shadow, I'm afraid that if word gets out, it could become a lie. It's best to resolve this matter quickly and terminate the investigation."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "The director is well-educated and can easily come up with idioms like 'three people make a tiger'. I can't do that."

Meng Xuemin was almost mad and cursed, "I'm not kidding you!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhou Haoran was a little absent-minded.

Meng Xuemin narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "If we want to end this farce as quickly as possible, the best way is to assign an apprentice to Tian Kai. He just wants an apprentice, right? Give him one!"

"Ah?" Zhou Haoran was shocked. "You won't give me your apprentice?"

Meng Xuemin said angrily, "I didn't say I would steal it from you."

"Rob from Zhong Jiantong?" Zhou Haoran thought this was even more impossible, frowning. "Relying on an apprentice to pull off a two-pearl trick? That's not feasible. Zhong Jiantong is the top seller!"

Meng Xuemin said coldly: "It didn't say there were only two apprentices."

"Hmm?" Zhou Haoran understood what he meant. "Will there be a lot of college students joining the station this time? Should we try to get another one?"

Meng Xuemin nodded. "By the end of this month, we'll probably have over thirty college graduates joining the station, most of whom will be rotating. The Life Channel is at the forefront of reform, so half of them have already been assigned there."

"That's it!"

Zhou Haoran felt that this was indeed a solution.

Since there are so many college students assigned to the life channel, it will not be difficult for Director Meng to recruit another one from the sales department.

However, this response strategy seems a bit weak.

Tian Kai launched an attack this time.

Perhaps that was the plan. The top two salespeople were assigned to apprentices.

This is a dead rule.

It is unlikely that Tian Kai will be able to make it to the top of the list.

Then we can only find a solution at the source.

If the sales department could assign three apprentices, the top three in the sales list would be included, and it would be his turn.

Zhou Haoran frowned and said, "That's too easy for him!"

Meng Xuemin glanced at him and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"I think..." Zhou Haoran reacted quickly, narrowing his eyes. "We can do this. Add another apprentice. However, this new apprentice... humph, we can't just let him do what he wants!"

Meng Xuemin's eyes lit up, and he felt that he and he were thinking the same thing. "What do you mean?"

Zhou Haoran said, "Tian Kai is causing trouble, so we can't let him off so easily. He's just an apprentice, if he wants it, give it to him! However, since you're the director, you can use some shady tactics behind the scenes."

Meng Xuemin was very interested. "What's the trick?"

Zhou Haoran chuckled, "Find a real apprentice instead of parachuting in another college student!"

"Ha ha!"

Meng Xuemin pointed at him and laughed.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "How about it? We want to go together, right?"

Meng Xuemin slammed the table and shouted, "That's it!"

……

noon.

Zhou Haoran went on a date with Bai Panyang, went shopping, and had ice cream in a newly opened cold drink shop... A very ordinary ice cream cone cost 22 yuan.

Not to mention this era, it will be ridiculously expensive even in twenty years.

Also received some benefits.

Two people shared an ice cream cone.

That state is really just like that of young men and women in love, as sweet as it can be.

Sales department’s weekly summary in the afternoon.

Zhou Haoran is a little late.

After it was over, I noticed that everyone's eyes were a little strange, some were sympathetic, some were confused, and some were gloating.

Zhou Haoran understood it at a glance.

This is what was reported and spread.

Zhou Haoran remained calm and took the initiative to express his opinion. He walked towards Tian Kai and said apologetically, "Team Leader Tian, ​​I'm so sorry. I've been very busy this week and haven't had time."

"As for sales, it's better to be busy. The busier you are, the more orders you will get."

Tian Kai smiled.

"I need to explain to you something about the apprenticeship."

Zhou Haoran did not lower his voice.

In addition, he had recently been in trouble, so his colleagues in the office all paid attention to him and listened attentively to see what was going on.

Tian Kai's expression changed slightly. He didn't want to talk about it in this situation. "What apprentice? Okay, go back and sit down. The meeting is about to start!"

Zhou Haoran insisted: "It's okay, it will be over in a few words."

"Let's talk after the meeting!"

Tian Kai's face was gloomy and his eyes showed a warning.

Zhou Haoran seemed not to notice and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to explain to you specifically. I knew you wanted to take an apprentice, so I went to the director specifically to transfer my apprenticeship quota to you."

As soon as these words came out.

The colleagues in the office all tasted something in a daze.

What does it mean?
Zhou Haoran is apologizing?

He wants to give up his apprenticeship position?
How is this going?

He was reported...

Could it be that Tian Kai was behind this?

This changed everyone's impression of Team Leader Tian. They thought Team Leader Zhong from Team 1 was the source of the chaos in the office, but they didn't expect Team Leader Tian from Team 2 to be the evildoer behind the scenes!
He even started reporting!
As people who have lived through that era, they simply detest reporting.

Tian Kai's heart moved slightly, and he felt hopeful. His eyes lit up, "Have you seen the director?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Yes, I talked to him and told him that I'm young and inexperienced, so it's not appropriate for me to lead an apprentice. I wanted to transfer the position to you. But the director didn't agree."

"Humph!"

Tian Kai became unhappy again.

Zhou Haoran's emotions were like a roller coaster, and he continued, "The director said that my apprenticeship quota is still given to me, but he has already secured another apprentice."

"Huh?" Tian Kai was slightly startled, then surprised, "Another apprentice?"

Zhou Haoran said enthusiastically, "Yes, the director said that there will be three apprentices joining the sales department this time. They will be here next Wednesday. Then, they will be given to the top three salesmen."

Tian Kai achieved his goal and was overjoyed. "Really?"

"Well, the director will probably announce this news at the meeting later." Zhou Haoran again expressed a hint of pleading. "Team Leader Tian, ​​I need to explain this matter to you specifically to avoid any misunderstandings."

Tian Kai was now happy and said with a smile: "We are all colleagues, how can there be any misunderstanding?"

Zhou Haoran said, "By the way, there is one more thing. Team Leader Tian, ​​can you help me with it?"

"what's up?"

Tian Kai was very proud and felt that he had really earned some money this time.

Dirty tricks still work!
Now, you just surrendered obediently?
