After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 195: All Things Renewed
Monday.

Zhou Haoran went to the company to see how his female apprentice's second letter was going.

Unexpectedly, I saw investigative reporter Yan Hong in the big office.

He is looking at the sales chart hanging on the wall.

“Hey, big sales are coming!”

When Yan Hong saw him, he laughed and started joking.

Zhou Haoran said modestly: "It's just a small achievement."

Yan Hong asked quietly, "I heard that the top seller will be rewarded with a car at the end of the year?"

"Correct."

"Sure! That's a great reward, so you have a chance, brother!"

"Whether there are rewards or not, or whether there's unfair distribution of resources, all of these are just leverage to incentivize the lower classes to harm each other."

Zhou Haoran had long seen through the truth of this society.

It's like this from top to bottom.

Since you can't avoid it, then get involved.

The winner isn't determined by who has more or less money, but by who controls the power to distribute it. Pursuing money solely for the sake of making money won't lead to great wealth. The truly wealthy, top-tier businesses all revolve around competing for the right to distribute social resources.

The lower classes of society all have a miserly mentality and are unaware of the existence of the right to distribution.

Although Yan Hong was at the bottom of society, he was a knowledgeable investigative reporter and had some understanding. "The lower classes are harming each other? Are the salesmen fighting fiercely to win the top sales?"

Zhou Haoran said casually, "Yes, turn the contradiction between the upper and lower levels into a contradiction between the lower levels."

"what?"

"Why did you come here?"

"Alas!" Yan Hong sighed, looking helpless. "As expected, the topic was rejected."

Zhou Haoran said, "Follow me."

"Where?"

Yan Hong followed closely behind him.

Zhou Haoran said: "Looking for the director."

"what?"

Yan Hong was startled and didn't dare to follow.

Zhou Haoran explained: "Explain it clearly to the director, he might approve it."

Yan Hong backed off, "Stop it!"

"Then wait here for me. I'll go talk to the director. Where's your topic report? Give me another copy!"

Zhou Haoran took the topic report and knocked on the door of the director's office.

Zhan Yushan glanced at him, not feeling surprised, and said, "Wait a moment."

"Ok."

Zhou Haoran sat quietly on the sofa.

Zhan Yushan was looking at a document while wearing reading glasses.

After a few minutes, he put down the document and signed it.

Seems quite happy.

"The director is still very determined to reform."

"We have to take precautions."

"Huh?" Zhan Yushan didn't quite hear it and put down his reading glasses. "What are you guarding against?"

Zhou Haoran curled his lips and said, "Our director shouts slogans loudly, but when it comes to hiring, he maintains a balance between reformists and conservatives. He's using the infighting among the lower ranks to strengthen his power. Between power politics and ideals, he chooses power politics."

Zhan Yushan's face darkened and he shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I just closed the door and said it casually."

Zhou Haoran wanted to give him some guidance, but the distance was too far, so he decided to wait until they became closer.

Zhan Yushan said earnestly: "You are young, so focus on your business and don't think about anything else."

"Ah."

"Why are you here?"

“I have a topic.”

"Topic selection for 'People's Livelihood Survey'?"

Zhan Yushan couldn't help laughing, obviously he had also heard about it from Director Meng.

Zhou Haoran handed over the topic proposal and said, "The program 'People's Livelihood Investigation' is too market-oriented. I think there needs to be some balance. I believe that in the workplace, it shouldn't be a top-down order, but rather a bottom-up follow-up."

Zhan Yushan said with a smile: "You are so young, how can you be so fussy?"

Zhou Haoran said, "The station director is trying to strike a balance, and it would be best if 'Citizens' Investigation' could also strike a proper balance. Otherwise, this flagship program will really be moved to the general channel."

Zhan Yushan was just about to put on his reading glasses to read the topic report.

Hearing his words, he paused.

She looked up at him slightly surprised.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Did I guess right?"

Zhan Yushan said angrily: "Use your cleverness in the right place!"

Zhou Haoran thought for a moment and said politely, "Director, I really need to ask you this. In private enterprises, performance is definitely important. Those with better performance have a greater chance of promotion. In our state-owned units, is power relationship more important, or performance and ability?"

Zhan Yushan looked at him deeply and said nothing.

Wear reading glasses to read this topic report.

The tone is also much calmer.

"Promoting the new atmosphere of the private economy in the new era is a good topic and can be used."

“Thank you, leader!”

"Does this topic have anything to do with you?"

Zhan Yushan couldn't help but ask again.

Zhou Haoran said frankly: "It matters a lot. My next sales focus will be on private enterprises."

"Hmm..." Zhan Yushan paused and said slowly, "Do a good job. The internal friction in the sales department will not be so intense in the future. Just do your job well."

"Okay." Zhou Haoran vaguely understood something.

Is this a win?

Everything is new!
……

Qiao Nuo is really good at clerical work.

The second letter has been written.

Next, print it out, put a stamp on the envelope, write the address, and you can send it out.

Zhou Haoran praised her.

Qiao Nuo was reluctant, and said pitifully, "Teacher Zhou, I don't want to stay in the office every day."

Zhou Haoran asked: "Then what do you want to do?"

Qiao Nuo pouted and said, "I chose to come to the sales department because I wanted to go out and do business and train myself!"

"Okay, after I'm done with these few days, we'll go visit the client!"

Zhou Haoran felt amused.

I think this girl is so naive, thinking that sales work is easy. Take her out to visit a few clients and let her feel the cold stares and discrimination faced by salespeople, and she will understand how difficult it is to survive in society.

Qiao Nuo was very happy and asked excitedly, "When are we going?"

Zhou Haoran said, "Wait a few days. You have all the customer information. Take your pick! We'll go to whichever customer you want to visit!"

"Ah? I choose?" Qiao Nuo was a little flustered. "I don't know anything!"

Zhou Haoran didn't care, "It's okay, it's all the same!"

Most of the clients he has in his hands are state-owned enterprise clients who were rejected by other salesmen and have no hope of signing a deal, making it very difficult to operate.

Only the pharmaceutical factory client that Shao Kong left for him has great development value.

The order must be signed before the end of the month.

After leaving the unit, Zhou Haoran went to Pudong.

Pudong is under new development.

Dust everywhere.

Looking around, it seems that construction is going on everywhere, and the noise is deafening.

This old city is undergoing a transformation at an incredible speed.

Just like Zhou Haoran’s career.

His book business really took off!

It wasn't about spearheading a project, but rather actually establishing a group company. Li Changxing and Jiang Xiong had both agreed to merge their respective companies into Zhongbo Bookstore.

Among them, Changxing Publishing House was purchased by Zhongbo Bookstore for 200 million yuan.

Jiang Xiong's cultural company did not even have to go through the complicated acquisition process, nor did it have to pay the various taxes and fees arising from the acquisition. It simply cancelled the previous company and then joined Zhongbo Bookstore with the original team.

Zhongbo Bookstore Culture Group Co., Ltd. is officially established!
The board of directors consists of three people: Zhou Haoran, Jiang Xiong and Li Changxing.

Jiang Xiong serves as the company's chairman and general manager, and Li Changxing serves as vice chairman and deputy general manager.

As a director, Zhou Haoran does not hold any specific position in the company.

Both of them admired Mr. Zhou's act of giving up power.

Zhou Haoran knew what was most crucial and said thoughtfully, "There's still 470 million left in the account. With such a large sum of money, we need a more capable financial officer to manage it."

Li Changxing suggested that the accountant at the publishing house was good and let him give it a try.

Zhou Haoran said, "It's not appropriate. The group company's accounts are more complicated. Apart from anything else, we'll have to divide the money later... Each person has an operating expense quota of 100 million yuan, and if we put it all on the company's account, the financial operation will be difficult."

"Why don't we let him take charge for a while while we find a high-level accountant?"

Li Changxing tentatively gave suggestions.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "That's fine. We'll post a job posting and arrange interviews. We'll definitely pick the finance position that's most suitable for our company."

"I think it's okay!" Jiang Xiong felt guilty and tried to please him. "After dividing the 300 million quota, there's still 170 million left. It won't cost that much to run the teaching supplementary books. A few hundred thousand will be enough. If you ask me, I still have to give Mr. Zhou a car."

Zhou Haoran looked embarrassed, "Isn't that necessary?"

Jiang Xiong said: "I think it should be matched!"

Li Changxing said generously, "As you should. Mr. Zhou, you are the backbone. This book business can't be without you. It will be convenient for you to travel back and forth if you have a car."

"Is that so..." Zhou Haoran pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "Let's put it this way. Whether or not to get a car is up to me, and yours doesn't count. We're a partnership, so we need to have principles and the minority must obey the majority. Otherwise, if we encounter some ideological differences in the future, it will be difficult to resolve them."

"Yes, it should be!"

Jiang Xiong was very happy.

He was afraid that Mr. Zhou would have the final say.

Li Changxing laughed and said, "The minority obeys the majority, there's nothing wrong with that!"

Zhou Haoran said, "Then let's vote. Let's decide whether to provide a car and what price range it should be."

"I suggest giving Director Zhou a Mercedes-Benz S600!"

Jiang Xiong spoke first and then raised his hand.

"I agree."

Li Changxing also raised his hand.

Zhou Haoran shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Two to one, passed!"

Li Changxing burst into laughter.
Jiang Xiong was a man of culture, somewhat idealistic. The fact that a company resolution had been decided through a real vote actually brought tears to his eyes, as if he saw the brightest future for Zhongbo Bookstore.

"Looks like I have to get a driver's license. I can't work without one."

Zhou Haoran made a joke.

In fact, these days, you don’t need a license to drive a luxury car, and the traffic police don’t dare to check.

However, Zhou Haoran is a legal citizen.

He had already made the arrangements through his connections at the TV station.

The next morning, I spent 4500 yuan to get a driver's license.

Jiang Xiong is responsible for buying the car.

He messaged back.

They said I can get it for less than 100 million and I can pick up the car tomorrow!
