After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 271 Signing Ceremony
Tomorrow is the deadline for compiling this year's sales figures.

Zhong Jiantong's emotions were in turmoil, and he could not contain himself.

He remained filled with worry.

After spending so much time together, he always felt that Zhou Haoran was a wicked guy, and who knows what bad things he might be doing behind people's backs!
So he has to make sure there are no accidents.

That morning, he went to his workplace again, took a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and found Yu Tiejun.

If a salesperson wants to close a deal, they need to obtain a standard contract from the legal department first.

If Zhou Haoran doesn't receive the contract from the legal department within the next two days, then this matter is definitely settled!

"Who? Zhou Haoran?" Yu Tiejun wasn't familiar with the sales department's situation. "What happened to him?"

Zhong Jiantong handed him a cigarette at the opportune moment, smiling as he asked, "Has he signed any contracts these past few days?"

"No!" Yu Tiejun said, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't I say that before?"

Zhong Jiantong pressed further, "Did you provide the standard contract?"

“No!” Yu Tiejun repeated what he had said before, “It’s been more than three months and he hasn’t contacted me. It’s even possible that he was transferred out of the sales department.”

Zhong Jiantong had a broad smile on his face. "Could he print out the contract without permission and then use it to sign deals?"

Yu Tiejun said decisively, "Impossible. If he can print privately, how could he also make a private seal? Isn't that illegal and against regulations?"

"That's it..."

Zhong Jiantong nodded, very satisfied.

Yu Tiejun seemed to remember something. "I've been idle for over a month now. The last contract I handled was signed by you. Chunyan, on the other hand, seems to be quite busy. She left early this morning."

"Chunyan? Yu Chunyan?" Zhong Jiantong thought for a moment, "She's in charge of Group Three, right?"

Yu Tiejun nodded. "Yes, Group Three. I guess they've already signed the contract."

"Well, it's okay."

Zhong Jiantong didn't care much about this.

On the sales charts, the only one who could put pressure on him to catch up was Zhou Haoran.

As for the three groups...

They're not going to amount to anything!
The highest sales volume among the three groups is currently held by Chang Lesheng, who ranks seventh on the sales list with sales of only 28 yuan.

They're worlds apart!

Let him run wild!

……

Qiao Nuo is the main character of today's signing ceremony.

She was dressed very formally today, in an H-line suit jacket, paired with a black pencil skirt, black stockings, and matte leather high heels. Her steps were crisp and precise, like the beat of a timer.

The overall design is soft yet authoritative.

He's clearly a key figure at the event.

However, she is still too young.

Some are also timid.

Her workplace also assigned her several assistants.

Director Meng from the sales department was there to receive clients; Chang Lesheng, the leader of the third sales team, came to coordinate and help; and Yu Chunyan from the legal department also came to handle the contracts.

Lian Jiyingyang and her brother Qiao Hai also came over.

Jono was originally a sales apprentice in Group A.

Later, he secured an order from Jixiang Insurance and was promoted to a permanent position thanks to his outstanding performance. However, there weren't enough spots available for one group, and coincidentally, Dong Zhiye from Group 3 was dismissed, freeing up a spot.

Qiao Nuo was then assigned to Sales Group 3.

Zhou Haoran appeared wearing a gray jacket and offered her encouragement.

“Master…” Qiao Nuo pouted and said dejectedly, “There are fewer customers than expected.”

"how?"

Zhou Haoran noticed that there were quite a few people in the venue, at least several dozen.

Qiao Nuo whispered, "We require cash payment on the spot, which many companies cannot do. Some hope to postpone payment, while others can only pay a maximum of 20% deposit."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "The end of the year is indeed a troublesome time."

Qiao Nuo said with a bitter face, "Originally, there were 78 clients who wanted to sign contracts. But we required full payment on the spot, which blocked most of the interested clients."

Zhou Haoran said, "These days, private enterprises are not very standardized, and there are too many swindlers. The station's regulations are reasonable."

"What do we do now?" Qiao Nuo clenched her little fist, somewhat disappointed. "I just looked around, and most people didn't bring any money. There are probably only about twenty people who did bring money."

Orders placed without cash on hand are invalid, even if a contract has been signed.

Settlement will be made when payment is received.

We'll have to settle this next year.

Only those who pay in full can be included in this year's sales figures.

Zhou Haoran said with a smile, "Twenty-odd orders should be enough. Zhong Jiantong's sales volume is only 135 million. You've already secured the top sales position! If it's still a bit short, I'll have Zhongbo Bookstore send some money over as soon as possible, and I guarantee it will help you get ahead."

"But the deputy director is gone."

Jono has bigger ambitions.

Zhou Haoran was slightly taken aback. "What deputy director?"

Qiao Nuo whispered, "Team Leader Chang said that the team leader of the team with the highest annual sales can be promoted to deputy director of the sales department. He also said he hopes that this signing ceremony can achieve two goals at once: winning the sales championship and also helping him get the deputy director position!"

"He's incompetent, so he can't blame anyone else."

Zhou Haoran wasn't interested in this matter.

Chang Lesheng's sales were more than 100 million less than Zhong Jiantong's, so it's understandable that he couldn't be promoted to deputy director.

"Director Meng is over there. Go over there quickly and help him receive the client... Take a few deep breaths, don't be nervous, be confident. Over the past period of time, you've been manipulating these people with your letters, what's there to be afraid of?"

Zhou Haoran's encouragement was very effective.

Qiao Nuo smiled and said, "Then I'll go!"

We have many customers now.

Besides those interested in signing contracts, many others were simply observing. These paying customers were all drawn to "Master Da" and filled with curiosity, wanting to come and see for themselves, perhaps even catch a glimpse of his charisma. Zhou Haoran needed to remain hidden.

In particular, it is crucial not to reveal his identity as a TV station salesman.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Haoran saw Qiao Hai and walked over discreetly, as he didn't want to directly contact those private business owners.

Qiao Hai said with a smile, "My sister asked me to come."

"Nono is a little timid, but she'll get better with more exercise."

Zhou Haoran assumed that Qiao Nuo had called her brother over to show her support.

Qiao Hai said seriously, "No, she told me to come and meet a client."

"Meeting clients?"

Zhou Haoran was slightly stunned.

Qiao Hai said, "She said that the warehouse management system we developed is mainly sold to private enterprises. The customers who came to this signing conference, regardless of whether they will sign a contract in the end, will be the group of high-quality customers with the strongest demand, and asked me to come and hand out my business cards."

Zhou Haoran was surprised by his second apprentice's progress. "Where's your business card?"

"here!"

Qiao Hai was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

Zhou Haoran took the business card and couldn't help but chuckle. "Qiao Hai, the general manager of Zhongbo Software Company? Who did you learn that from?"

“These aren’t business cards I printed.” Qiao Hai is still a student and not so wild yet. “These business cards were printed by Nuonuo, and she asked me to come and hand them out. I thought it was your idea.”

"pretty good."

Zhou Haoran nodded secretly, thinking that the master and disciple were truly of one mind.

They even came up with the same way of naming their children!
As Changxing Publishing House was established as a model for the private printing industry, Zhongbo Bookstore's reputation in the port's private sector also rose, gaining a certain degree of industry recognition.

"Zhongbo" naturally became a prestigious brand.

With "Zhongbo Bookstore" already established, and then "Zhongbo Software" added, it would be relatively easy to gain customer trust.

"Should I go hand out business cards?"

Qiao Hai looked even more guilty than his sister.

Zhou Haoran instructed, "Go ahead, just say you are the master's underling, and help private enterprises solve some management problems under the master's guidance."

Qiao Hai laughed and said, "Alright, I'll use your tiger skin!"

Zhou Haoran said seriously, "It's not me, it's Master. My identity cannot be revealed, you have to keep it a secret for me. If others ask, you should describe Master as as mysterious as possible. Master is the head of an ancient sect that has been passed down for two or three hundred years."

“I know, Nono told me all of that.”

Qiao Hai mustered his courage and set off with his head held high.

The warehouse management system hasn't been developed yet.

Why not pre-order first!
Yangyang was also there for the same purpose at today's signing ceremony.

Compared to Qiao Hai's clumsiness, Ji Yingyang was much more composed. Wearing a beige double-breasted suit, trousers, and high heels, with a confident smile and flowing hair, she truly exuded the aura of a female boss.

Business cards were handed out to everyone present.

They indicated that they could find a market for their products.

A short while later, Li Changxing also arrived.

He's a backup option.

If the number of signed orders is insufficient and the sales volume is not enough to compete for the top sales spot, Zhongbo Bookstore can step in and promote the "Zhongbo Top Scholar" supplementary textbooks to make up for the final price difference.

That's very appealing.

Because Li Changxing had appeared on television and been interviewed by the program "People's Livelihood Investigation," he was established as a positive role model.

The private business owners present felt as if they had found their pillar of support after seeing him.

They all gathered around.

Ask him to share his experience.

The paid letter stated that Changxing Publishing House was almost bankrupt when Mr. Da gave it guidance and advertised on the Lifestyle Channel, clearing out all the stock of the "Children's Encyclopedia".

Li Changxing, without hesitation, boasted about the past glories and gave the great man's wisdom an awe-inspiring evaluation.

That's interesting.

Zhou Haoran was not able to participate directly and was just a peripheral figure in the meeting.

However, Li Changxing, Ji Yingyang, and Qiao Hai, who were in the meeting room, each gathered in their own groups and told the private business owners about the legend of the great master.

Just like that Mr. Zhou Haoran, who is the master of the market economy and the savior of private enterprises.

The signing ceremony officially began at 10:00 AM.

A total of 65 deals were signed.

The total amount is as high as 955 million yuan!

Of these, 35 orders were not paid for, and 11 orders were paid for with a 20% deposit.

These will all be included in next year's bill.

There were 19 full-payment orders that could be included in this year's sales figures, totaling 185 million yuan.

The bank staff brought over the money counting machine.

The accounts were settled and processed in front of everyone with a "swish, swish, swish" sound.

The effect of cash is quite impressive.

Those gleaming banknotes undoubtedly further fueled everyone's longing for the great man's legendary tale.

When signing the contract, Meng Xuemin stood behind Qiao Nuo, offering his support.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

I've never seen anything like this before.
At a single signing ceremony, they secured 65 orders, totaling 955 million yuan in sales.

This isn't about competing for this year's sales champion title at all!

If all these orders can be fulfilled and fulfilled... it's practically a guaranteed sales champion for next year!
How exactly do Zhou Haoran and Qiao Nuo, this master-disciple pair, operate behind the scenes?
Damn it!
