After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 160 Female Apprentice

Wednesday.

Sales department meeting.

This is a critical time for business, and many people are unhappy about having to go back for meetings.

Because there is an information gap.

Most of the sales staff didn’t know that these apprentices were actually college students.

I didn’t know that this was a rotation and that they were reserve cadres in the training platform.

I thought he was just a normal apprentice!

Who would be willing to take on a normal apprentice like this?

Like a burden.

I really don't understand why Tian Kai used the underhanded trick of reporting Zhou Haoran to snatch his apprenticeship.

Zhou Haoran is still looking forward to this apprenticeship assignment.

Early this morning, he spoke with Li Changxing on the phone.

Received good news.

Li Changxing's grandfather had a business in Huangpu Beach during the Republican era, owning a publishing house. Like many established families, at a crucial juncture, his grandfather's branch remained in China, while his great-uncle's branch went overseas.

It can also be considered as diversified investment.

More than a decade ago, when China opened its doors to the outside world, Li Changxing reconnected with his great-uncle's family living overseas. It was thanks to these overseas connections that he was able to build his publishing house from scratch.

This time, he asked his cousin in Hong Kong Island to buy the books.

Ask someone to bring it back.

It will arrive tomorrow.

a large amount!

There are more than fifty books, filling a whole big suitcase.

Zhou Haoran is exploring a sales method to seek the truth. Just like cultivating immortality, if you want to successfully overcome the tribulation, you must first prepare various elixirs to assist in your practice.

These books are his elixirs.

It’s just that the quantity is a bit large, so we need a secretary to help organize it.

Zhou Haoran came to the office early.

I found that Zhong Jiantong arrived earlier.

"Haoran!"

Zhong Jiantong has been much more low-key and friendly recently.

Zhou Haoran responded with a polite smile, "Team Leader Zhong."

"Come on, let's go out and talk."

Zhong Jiantong pulled him out of the office.

Zhou Haoran did not refuse and asked calmly, "Team Leader Zhong, what's the matter?"

Zhong Jiantong winked and said, "Last time you said you didn't have a partner, I found one for you!"

"Ah?" Zhou Haoran didn't believe him. "Really?"

Zhong Jiantong said with a chuckle, "You'll see it in a moment!"

"A little while?" Zhou Haoran reacted, "You mean a meeting?"

Zhong Jiantong whispered, "I've found out everything. Among the apprentices arriving soon, there's a female recent graduate. She graduated from the Journalism Department of Jiaotong University, a top student!"

"College girl?"

Zhou Haoran sneered in his heart and immediately saw the other party's intention.

Zhong Jiantong acted very generously, "You're single, right? This opportunity just happened to come. When I choose an apprentice later, I'll give this female college student to you!"

"A woman..."

Zhou Haoran acted very reluctant.

This is B-side sales!
It is not suitable for women.

If you are a female salesperson, you must not be too beautiful.

This is different from selling clothes and cosmetics.

For this kind of B-side sales, once a deal is successfully signed, the commission can easily be tens of thousands, which means there is huge profit margin here.

It is easy for corrupt things to breed.

If Party A sees that the female salesperson is too beautiful, he may make some unreasonable demands and use this as a condition for signing the contract... Should he agree to this or not?

If it was a male salesperson, he might have signed it directly.

If you are a female salesperson, you will most likely encounter such additional requirements.

Especially for beautiful female salespeople, this has almost become a must.

Not to mention advertising sales, even if you are selling houses, cars, being a pharmaceutical agent, or selling jewelry, as long as the amount is higher and the profit margin is larger, you will encounter this kind of trouble.

This is different from female salespeople in consumer retail, such as those selling clothes or cosmetics. The prettier and more approachable the female salesperson is, the higher the sales volume tends to be. This is because it is purely sales, not anything else.

It’s different in industries where these individual products have large profit margins.

Either accept reality and let yourself fall.

Otherwise, don't even think about signing the contract.

Beauty has become a curse!
The TV station won't allow this.

Whether it is the lifestyle channel, the comprehensive channel, or the entertainment channel, the sales department is full of men.

The apprentices who come here now are not real salesmen, but are here for rotation.

There is no need to distinguish between men and women.

But it is still very important for the master who takes apprentices.

Take a beautiful female apprentice out to do sales...

The marketing people on Party A were all like wolves. How could they possibly negotiate a deal if they saw such a delicate beauty? They either had to hand her over or it would be difficult to sign a contract.

Taking on a female apprentice is just asking for trouble!

There is an even more important point.

This rotation of college students is to train future cadres in the station.

Women have far fewer opportunities for advancement in the workplace than men.

Since it is an investment, investing in a male apprentice is definitely more cost-effective!
This is what Zhong Jiantong planned.

He had to find a way to separate the female apprentices.

Zhou Haoran wouldn't let him succeed so easily. He frowned and said, "Team Leader Zhong, isn't a female salesperson suitable? How can I lead her like this?"

"It's okay, actually."

Zhong Jiantong chuckled. Zhou Haoran glanced at him and said, "Then you should take charge of the female apprentice. I'm not experienced enough to handle this."

Zhong Jiantong squinted his eyes and whispered, "I've heard that the female college student assigned this time is so beautiful. You're single, right? Go and introduce her to her. If you get along with her for a while, won't you fall in love with her?"

"Team Leader Zhong, don't joke around."

Zhou Haoran remained unmoved.

Zhong Jiantong continued, "The people who came this time are college graduates. They're here for rotations, which can last from six months to a year, and they might be transferred. They're not here specifically for sales."

Zhou Haoran pretended not to know, "Really?"

Zhong Jiantong said calmly, "When the apprentice arrives, we'll be arguing with each other and making a fool of ourselves. If we really start fighting... you'll only be second on the sales list, so you won't get the position."

"That's not necessarily true." Zhou Haoran was a bit unconvinced. "The apprentice who came here is about the same age as me, so we have more in common."

At this time, colleagues in the office arrived one after another.

It's not appropriate for the two of them to whisper here.

Zhong Jiantong did not give any patient advice.

This matter must be handled properly.

If a quarrel arose over the apprentice, even if he succeeded in snatching the male apprentice, he would lose face. It would also make him appear too utilitarian, which would be detrimental to his future efforts to establish a good personal relationship with the apprentice.

"This time, there were only two college students."

Zhong Jiantong lowered his voice and revealed his trump card.

"is it?"

Zhou Haoran's heart moved slightly.

"Tian Kai reported you before." Zhong Jiantong's eyes revealed a hint of sharpness. "Director Meng really made a big concession for you!"

Zhou Haoran frowned, "Team Leader Zhong, what do you mean?"

"There are some things I can pretend not to know."

Zhong Jiantong looked indifferent.

There is a kind of confidence that you can hold everything in your hands.

Zhou Haoran also realized that the source of information of Team Leader Zhong was much more powerful than Tian Kai's. He must have known that Director Meng had found a real apprentice to deal with Tian Kai.

"I do not know what you mean."

Zhou Haoran couldn't admit it.

Zhong Jiantong was also very straightforward, "Then I'll go talk to the director."

"It's just a small matter, no need to go to such trouble." Zhou Haoran cleared his throat and asked expectantly, "That female college student, is she pretty? I really don't have a partner."

Zhong Jiantong laughed heartily, "It looks good! It definitely looks good!"

"Is that so..." Zhou Haoran pondered for a moment. "Then let's do this. When the apprentice comes, I'll recommend the male college student to your place, and you recommend the female college student to mine. It would be inappropriate if we started arguing."

"That's a deal!"

Zhong Jiantong was quite happy and agreed immediately.

As for the third apprentice.

No one talked about it.

Zhou Haoran also realized that the relationship between Zhong Jiantong and Tian Kai was far from as harmonious as he had imagined.

Recently, there have been rumors that the sales department will add a deputy director.

The candidate is most likely Zhong Jiantong, with a small probability of Tian Kai.

There is a certain competitive relationship between the two.

……

Soon, the meeting began.

Everyone brought chairs and sat around.

Director Meng spoke first.

The principle of apprentice allocation this time was reiterated. For the sake of fairness, sales performance will be the main factor.

There are three apprentices in total.

We chose the top three on the sales list, namely Zhong Jiantong, Zhou Haoran and Tian Kai.

However, this is not a system of apportionment.

Once the apprentice arrives, the director and the three candidates have the right to recommend.

It is up to the apprentices to decide how they will choose.

"The three apprentices are all in the Human Resources Department. They are reviewing the candidates' information and will make a preliminary arrangement."

If Meng Xuemin wants to control the situation, he needs to make good plans.

Can't be busy all the time.

After all, the final choice lies in the hands of the apprentice.

We need to find a way to make college apprentices actively choose Zhou Haoran.

Now that’s a good response.

First, let the three apprentices go to the Human Resources Department, and the HR colleagues will explain the basic situation of the top three sales. These three people can also discuss and make a simple "internal appointment".

In this case, it is absolutely impossible for a salesperson in his forties to choose a young person.

He ruled it out.

Then, among the two remaining college students, one will definitely choose Zhou Haoran.

Explained the situation.

Meng Xuemin asked Ye Hongyun to run errands and asked a colleague from the Human Resources Department to bring an apprentice over first.

one by one.

Take your time to choose, don't rush.

After a while, He Jin from the Human Resources Department appeared gracefully.

There is a young and sunny guy by my side.

He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, black leather shoes, his hair was waxed, he had a high-end belt, and a shiny watch on his wrist... he looked exceptionally handsome.

This person appeared.

The salesmen in the sales department, including Zhou Haoran, took a deep breath.

Everyone saw clearly that the employee badge on this boy’s chest had black letters on a red background!

He is a civil servant!
Belong to the first tier of employees!
No wonder Zhong Jiantong insisted on choosing him as his apprentice.

A newly graduated college student can get a job at a TV station.

This kid’s family background is not simple!
