After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 268 The Grand Finale of the Sales Champion
For the next period of time, Zhou Haoran came to work at the company.

It's called a regular job, but it's actually a part-time job.

Writing papers in the office.

Zhou Haoran now understands that, given his age and education, if he wants to gain greater prestige and status in the IT industry, he must produce a series of high-quality academic papers.

We cannot simply write application-level papers on programming languages.

Applications are just the end of the industry chain.

Ideally, it should at least touch upon some aspects of the theory.

In the field of artificial intelligence, neural networks have been preliminarily studied, but deep learning and convolutional neural networks are not yet widespread.
In the area of ​​distributed systems, although there has been some research, large-scale distributed computing and cloud computing have not yet emerged.
In terms of cybersecurity, encryption technology has a foundation, but modern public key infrastructure and blockchain are not yet mature.

To avoid disagreement, it's best to avoid using future concepts like "blockchain" and instead use the concept of distributed ledger; also, avoid mentioning "cloud computing" and instead discuss distributed resource sharing and virtualization.

The framework of ideas is presented in the form of "theoretical exploration".

This makes it very effective at bluffing.

It can also effectively avoid going into too many areas that he doesn't understand.

It's like building a house.

He only knows how to build one type of house and has conducted in-depth academic research in the field of big data.

However, this did not prevent him from being knowledgeable and familiar with the appearance of many other types of houses. He did not need to build houses of other styles; he only needed to draw rough sketches of the designs of other types of houses from memory.

This is enough to provide theoretical insights for many more outstanding individuals.

At least you can get the status of a founder.

On this day, Zhou Haoran was mainly writing a paper in the field of Internet, titled "A Distributed Resource Sharing Model Based on P2P Protocol," which proposed the concept of "centralized file sharing protocol."

Because the HTTP/1.0 protocol has just been released, centralized servers have limited bandwidth.

The best way to solve this technical problem on the Internet is to utilize idle node resources to alleviate bandwidth pressure... In short, it's P2P technology.

It embodies the spirit of sharing internet resources.

This immediately elevated the discussion to a philosophical level.

That gives you height.

Seeing that he was writing his paper very seriously, Qiao Nuo would sometimes move a chair over and sit down.

I stared at him blankly.

Although I couldn't understand the content of the paper, I still felt that my mentor was so great and charismatic.

As for Director Meng...

His office had long been occupied.

That day, Zhou Haoran went to the "People's Livelihood Investigation" column to discuss the location of the final special investigation with reporter Yan Hong, but unexpectedly ran into Zhong Jiantong.

"Team Leader Zhong?"

Zhou Haoran thought he was seeing things; it wasn't the weekend.

Zhong Jiantong was also quite surprised, "Oh? You're here too!"

"Yes, I'll report to the director."

Zhou Haoran made up a random excuse.

"I see..." Zhong Jiantong smiled, remaining calm and collected. "How's work going lately?"

Zhou Haoran sighed, "Not going well, it's been so long since we closed a deal!"

Zhong Jiantong's smile brightened considerably. "Me too, there's nothing I can do, that's just how the market is. It's the end of the year, and all the companies are busy with their year-end financial summaries, so they all avoid signing deals at this stage."

"No wonder!"

Zhou Haoran said with a sudden realization.

For state-owned companies, this is indeed a factor. They want to minimize financial changes at the end of the year to avoid adding trouble to the preparation of various year-end reports.

However, private enterprises are generally not very formal.

There is no standardized process.

They can do whatever they want.

Zhong Jiantong laughed and said, "It's too difficult to close deals at the end of the year. Fortunately, the sales team has worked very hard over the past few months, and this is a record. In four months, sales reached 480 million yuan, which is one-third higher than the sales target of 360 million yuan!"

"Yes, the director just said that too. Based on the sales department's outstanding performance, every employee in the lifestyle channel will receive a big bonus at the end of the year."

Zhou Haoran could speak fluently without hesitation.

Zhong Jiantong nodded and said, "Who can argue with that? This year, everyone in the channel should thank our sales department!"

The two communicated amicably for a while.

After they parted, Zhong Jiantong's smile vanished abruptly, and he muttered to himself, "Nobody believes what this kid says!"

Having suffered losses so many times, he's gained experience.

Therefore, he needs to trace the problem back to its source.

I went directly to the Ministry of Justice.

The legal department of the lifestyle channel also has four groups.

The second group is specifically responsible for liaising with the sales department.

The second group has four legal counsel members.

Each legal department has a team that liaises with the sales department to provide legal support.

The legal counsel named Yu Tiejun was specifically assigned to liaise with the sales team.

"Iron Army!"

Zhong Jiantong found him.

Why are you at work?

Yu Tiejun was envious of the work status of these salespeople who didn't have to come to work on a regular basis.

"Let's go out for a smoke!"

Zhong Jiantong called him out of the office.

"What's up?" Yu Tiejun took a Zhonghua cigarette from his hand and said with a smug look, "Damn! You salesmen make so much money!"

Zhong Jiantong laughed and gave him the newly opened box of Zhonghua cigarettes, saying, "Here, have a smoke!"

"Then you're welcome."

Yu Tiejun stuffed the cigarette into his pocket, in a good mood.

Zhong Jiantong asked, "I have something to ask you."

"What is it?" Yu Tiejun knew he had something to ask of him.

Zhong Jiantong asked, "Has our group signed any contracts recently?"

"No," Yu Tiejun shook his head. "It's almost the end of the year, who's going to sign contracts? If anyone's going to sign, it'll be you, Team Leader Zhong!"

Zhong Jiantong was delighted. "Really not? Tie Jun, you must be mistaken!"

Yu Tiejun chuckled and said, "How could I possibly be wrong? All the contracts were approved by me. Do you think I don't know whether I've reviewed them or not? Your group's last order was yours!"

Where is Zhou Haoran?

This is what Zhong Jiantong cares about most, and it is also the main purpose of his return to his unit this time.

It's the end of the year.

The competition for the sales rankings will soon be settled.

Now, he is far ahead on the sales charts.

The little car was almost within reach.

Let's hope nothing unexpected happens, so that kid can launch a desperate counterattack in the final stage.

"Zhou Haoran?" Yu Tiejun exhaled a smoke ring. "This cigarette is really good... Zhou Haoran, how long has it been since he signed a contract? More than three months! His last order was from a pharmaceutical factory!"

"You can't have misremembered, can you?"

Zhong Jiantong was overjoyed and sought further confirmation.

Yu Tiejun said helplessly, "How could I remember wrong? That kid was quite active for a while, but I don't know what happened to him these past few months, he suddenly went silent."

Zhong Jiantong said, "Sales are inherently cyclical. If you're lucky, you might close several deals in a short period. If you're unlucky, you might not close a single deal for months."

Yu Tiejun hummed in agreement, somewhat curious, "Is that all?"

Zhong Jiantong sighed, "He's one of my team members. He hasn't closed a deal for several months, so I came to find out what's going on."

“There’s nothing I can do about that.” Yu Tiejun shook his head. “It’s almost the end of the year. If you want to train him, you should wait until next year. In my experience, December is the quietest time.”

"Yes!"

Zhong Jiantong let out a long sigh of relief.

Now I can rest easy!
On Friday, the sales department held its weekly meeting.

Zhong Jiantong arrived early.

Let's look at the sales charts first!

You don't need to look at anyone else, just the top two.

First place: Zhong Jiantong, 135 million yuan.

Second place: Zhou Haoran, 95 yuan.

The two still maintain a sales gap of 40 yuan!

It's already December 13th.

It's highly likely to succeed!
Unexpectedly, there was even more exciting news.

At the regular meeting, Sales Director Meng Xuemin announced that, due to year-end financial review considerations, this year's sales statistics would end on December 21st, the winter solstice.

Then, the channel leaders will come over and announce the top salesperson for this year's lifestyle channel!
In the office, all eyes were on Zhong Jiantong.

Everyone understood that the competition was over.

The finale!

There's only one week left.

The gap between the first and second place is a full 40, so there's little hope of a comeback.

Zhong Jiantong even felt a little regretful.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered to shamelessly put all of Shao Kong's orders under my own name. Not only did it not realize any real value, but it also earned me a lot of cold shoulders.

It's as if he has to resort to underhanded tricks to snatch the annual sales crown!

Then I looked at Zhou Haoran...

Zhong Jiantong smiled slightly, quite satisfied. He felt that the young man had a calm mindset and seemed to have accepted the status quo, giving up the competition for the top sales position.

Yes, they know when to yield!
After the meeting, Zhou Haoran took the floppy disk containing the three papers and prepared to go to school.

Qiao Nuo hurriedly followed, angrily saying, "Master, that Zhong Jiantong is really smug!"

Zhou Haoran drove her around and laughed, "He thinks he's already won. How are things going on your end?"

Qiao Nuo chuckled and said, "The notices have all been sent out. We'll see how big it gets on the 20th. I estimate at least several dozen customers will come."

Director Meng is one of our own.

He wouldn't just announce the 21st as the deadline out of thin air.

It was all arranged by Zhou Haoran.

On the 20th, the signing ceremony will be held in Executive Conference Room 1 of the Kinmen Hotel!

All clients who intend to advertise on the lifestyle channel will go there on that day to sign a contract.

This is a rare opportunity!
These customers were selected from among the paying customers.

Paid customers are inherently very loyal.

With the positive examples from Changxing Publishing House and the strategic planning behind the scenes by "Master Da"... such cases, when disseminated through letters, further enhance customer trust.

Now "Mr. Big" has recommended that they advertise on the lifestyle channel, and even said that advertising prices will skyrocket next year...

How could I miss this?
Unless it's a business without a marketing plan.

Anyone who intends to advertise will not miss the opportunity to sign a contract with the lifestyle channel.

Zhou Haoran was very confident about this, "Can you drive?"

“No…” Qiao Nuo was a little annoyed. “I asked around, and it takes several months to get a driver’s license. I don’t have time for that.”

Zhou Haoran said nonchalantly, "Driver's licenses are easy to get, just get one. The key is whether you can drive or not, that's the most important thing. If you hit someone... paying compensation isn't the problem, it's the mood that's affected."

Qiao Nuo muttered, but then said defiantly, "It's okay, anyway, Yangyang can drive!"

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was pleasantly surprised. "She can drive?"

Qiao Nuo said softly, "She used to work for a foreign company, and sometimes she had to drive for her boss."

Zhou Haoran chuckled, "Why didn't she say so? If I had known, I would have gotten her a car sooner!"

"We don't need company cars anymore, the company provides them."

Qiao Nuo spoke with a grin, as if he had already received the reward for being the top salesperson.
