Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: October 13, 2002}

Today is Sunday. In the past, Zhai Jianguo would never go to the company on this day. But today at noon, he didn't know why, but he wanted to go to the company.

Chang'an Guosen Computer Company has become famous recently. With this wave of peripheral promotion, Guosen's popularity in Chang'an has increased several times. The sales of other hardware have also increased a lot, which makes Zhai Jianguo very proud recently.

.

He made a lot of money this time!

Although the young man named Lin Changxin has strong business ability, he obviously lacks experience in the world, so that now that his side has blossomed, he has not reacted at all.

Isn’t this working for him in vain?

Zhai Jianguo drove happily and slowly arrived at the company. From a distance, he saw the entrance of his company crowded with people. This bustling scene made Zhai Jianguo even more happy.

But when Zhai Jianguo approached leisurely, he suddenly discovered that the people surrounding the company door did not seem to be what he thought.

He seemed to hear someone shouting "return"?

Zhai Jianguo quickly lowered his steps and retreated to a corner. It took him a while to distinguish clearly.

Where are the buyers who come to shop at the entrance of the company!

They are basically a group of people who want to retire network equipment!

Most of Guoxin's sales staff stood at the door and explained something to the users with a smile, but the excited crowd did not listen to the sales staff's explanation at all.

Zhai Jianguo hurriedly disappeared again, and then dialed the number of his company's sales manager.

As soon as the phone was picked up, an anxious voice came from the receiver, "Mr. Zhai, a group of customers gathered at the door of the company, saying that the call is still disconnected even after changing the equipment. They are asking us for a refund and compensation."

Zhai Jianguo frowned when he heard the news, because the young man named Lin Changxin provided a special zone company to supply network equipment, and this company's equipment actually required full payment!

This made Zhai Jianguo, who was accustomed to deposits, very unhappy, but in order to gain greater benefits, Zhai Jianguo accepted this harsh condition.

For this reason, he always wanted to find some trouble for the other party on the equipment. But he had been paying attention to Hannan's related activities for a long time recently, and it seemed that such a situation had never happened before.

But since they all use the same equipment, why did such a problem occur when it came to Guoxin?

After thinking about it, Zhai Jianguo asked, "Have you ever understood the specific situation?"

"Yes, yes, I have basically asked. Customers said that frequent disconnections started in the afternoon of October 12th. At first, customers were patient, but then the disconnections became more and more frequent. So, they thought

It’s an equipment problem”

"How is it possible to get disconnected? This batch of equipment is designed to improve this situation!" Zhai Jianguo didn't know why.

"I also explained this to the customer, but the customer didn't listen. I have asked the technician to test it, and the results will be available soon."

"As soon as you have any news, tell me!"

After Zhai Jianguo hung up the phone, his mood suddenly hit rock bottom, and his face turned as cold as ice.

He was curious as to what could cause this problem.

Although he thought of a possibility, in his opinion that possibility was slim.

After much deliberation, he decided to call Mr. Zhao and ask.

Zhai Jianguo held the phone and made preparations for a while, and finally dialed. After a while, the call was connected, and Mr. Zhao's flattering voice came through the receiver.

"Hey, Mr. Zhai? What good things do you want to see me for today?"

"Hey, Tong Zhao, I want to ask you whether you recognize the boy named Lin."

"I don't know him, Mr. Zhai. I only asked Hannan's friend when you were looking for someone. He has nothing to do with me."

"In that case, what is the boy's background?"

"No, Mr. Zhao, what happened?"

Zhai Jianguo twitched the corner of his mouth. He still knew Zhao Tong. He really didn't dare to make himself uncomfortable on this matter. Thinking that he asked Zhao Tong, it was in vain, so Zhai Jianguo said in a straight voice, "It's okay, I

Just asking you casually."

After hanging up the phone, Zhai Jianguo once again thought of the possibility that he had just denied.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he could only think that this might be the only possibility.

But a young man who is inexperienced in the world is actually more scheming than an old man like himself?

Zhai Jianguo hung up the phone and reluctantly called his sales manager.

"How's it going? Did the technician find the problem?"

"Mr. Zhai, the technicians have found some clues, but it will take a long time to investigate."

Zhai Jianguo immediately became excited when he heard this, "What's the clue?"

"The technician said that the disconnection should be caused by some kind of network conflict, but the specific cause needs to be investigated further."

"How much longer?"

"The technician doesn't know much about software. He just guessed that this might be possible."

Hearing what the sales manager said, Zhai Jianguo immediately frowned again.

Zhai Jianguo knows that the recent popularity of activities has aroused the interest of his colleagues. Many computer companies are also eyeing the cake of network equipment, and many people want to get involved. He will not be able to do business for a long time.

Over time, if this technical investigation takes too long, the more likely it is that its market will be swallowed up by others.

After thinking for a while, he explained a few more words and then hung up the phone. He then thought about calling his sister and the finance department of Guosen Company.

"Amei, what's the sales situation of the company's network equipment recently? I want specific figures."

"Wait a minute," less than a minute later, another voice came from the other end of the phone, "Including goods from the surrounding areas and the factory in the special zone, we have shipped a total of more than 150,000 USB devices and more than 11,000 routing devices. Excluding the ones that have already been paid

The net profit from the commissions is more than 21 million.

On the other hand, the first batch of more than 50,000 pieces of equipment purchased from the original distributor, currently only more than 10,000 pieces of equipment have been sold through distribution channels, earning more than 400,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this number, Zhai Jianguo's face became gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhai Jianguo has been stuck with money and has not paid, just to bully Lin Changxin, who is young. Chang'an's backlog of network disconnection problems for a month, within the month of Lin Changxin's arrival, all turned into consumer enthusiasm and exploded.

Zhai Jianguo's company received money mercilessly, but apart from paying commissions to promoters and installers, Zhai Jianguo did not want to pay any of the money promised to Lin Changxin.

Zhai Jianguo was jealous. Originally, his equipment was priced higher than that of Hannan's beautiful lady Zhai, and his commission was also lower. In addition, his sales network was well established around Chang'an, so this time the peripheral equipment

The promotional activities increased his profits several times in a short period of time.

The USB equipment cost 72 yuan, and he set a sales price of 220 yuan. After excluding the promoter's commission of 15 yuan and the installer's commission of 15 yuan, he could make a profit of 118 yuan.

The routing equipment cost 162 yuan, and he set a sales price of 500 yuan. The promoter only paid 30 yuan, and the installer only received a commission of 30 yuan. He was able to make a profit of 278 yuan.

What's more, he also secretly purchased 50,000 pieces of equipment from Xichuan Province and distributed them to cities that were not covered by the surrounding sales network, which would generate additional income.

In his mind, all the money belonged to them, and he was unwilling to give out any more.

The original promise verbally promised was 50% of the profits. If we really wanted to share the profits, it would be more than 10 million!

He, Zhai Jianguo, may not be able to make this kind of money in a year. Why can't that young man give out a penny and take half of it with just a few operations?

What did he do?

It’s nothing more than running errands!

At most, I can just give you 1,000,000 or 2,000,000 yuan.

He didn't even think about the cost he had to pay and how much pressure he was under.

"Brother, the people outside are making more trouble. How should we deal with this matter? If we have to refund it, it will be a lot of money!"

Zhai Jianguo struggled on the other end of the phone for a long time before he said, "Wait a minute."

Zhai Jianguo pressed down the phone, found the number he didn't want to face and dialed it.

…

Lin Changxin has been puzzled since he received the text message yesterday. What he was puzzled about was not Zhai Jianguo's failure to pay. After all, he had been prepared for this matter early in the morning.

He was just curious about who would send him such a text message. But after much deliberation, he couldn't think of anyone, so he changed the program after receiving the reminder. Finally, he thought of sending an email to his master Han Qinghua.

Briefly explain the situation, and then simply devote yourself to your unfinished "study".

He tossed this question over and over again, and finally at noon the next day, his phone rang.

When Lin Changxin heard the phone ringing, he picked up the phone, took a look at it, and pressed the connect button.

"Hey, who is..."

"Axin, I am your brother Zhai."

"Oh~~" Lin Changxin dragged out the old man. He did this deliberately because he was really afraid of laughing, and then continued, "Mr. Zhai, do you have anything to do with me?"

There was a pause on the other end, then a chuckle came from behind, "Axin, thanks to you, business here has been very good these past two days."

Lin Changxin also laughed and opened the small program he wrote, "Of course, Mr. Zhai, your business is much better than that of Hannan. Moreover, your sales network is also relatively developed.

Surrounding areas are also covered.

In just over 3 weeks, more than 150,000 USB devices were sold, and more than 10,000 routing devices were sold. This result is much better than my previous results in Hannan. So Mr. Zhai will definitely do this this time.

It’s a lot of money.”

Lin Changxin spoke in an understatement, but Zhai Jianguo on the other end of the phone felt a slight chill in his body.

The data that this young man casually mentioned are exactly the same as those given by his sister! This shows that this young man has a mature system to monitor sales from beginning to end!

How did he do it? Was he really responsible for this disconnection?

The voice on the other end of the phone continued to come, "Mr. Zhai's business is so prosperous, but don't forget that this business may be a short-term monopoly in Chang'an, and other peers will definitely follow to compete in the market later. At that time, this

Business is not that easy. So Mr. Zhai still needs to keep a close eye on promotion and increase efforts."

Zhai Jianguo suddenly had the urge to smash his cell phone!

He finally had to admit the fact that this young man did all this. He had thought from the beginning that he might not pay!

He tmd…

Zhai Jianguo was indignant but also a little helpless. This promotion activity was so rapid. In a short period of time, he had already invested more than 1,000 W in this batch of goods, but he produced a profit that was twice the amount invested. However,

All profits are actually built in the high-profit period, especially since this activity was exclusively initiated by Guosen and it was an absolute monopoly period.

But now, as long as the technicians of our company cannot find a suitable solution in the short term, the disconnection situation continues, and customers will continue to return products.

When the time comes, all those goods will be returned. Don't say whether you can make money or not, and don't say that all the more than 1,000 W of goods are in your hands. What's important is that the reputation Guosen Computer Company has accumulated over the years will be seriously damaged.

Strike!

When he thought of this, Zhai Jianguo felt a deep hatred for Lin Changxin, and he also harbored a grudge against Zhao Tong.

Zhai Jianguo struggled for a long time, tearing Lin Changxin to pieces ten thousand times in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few normal syllables:

"Axin, the financial data is too big. She just settled the accounts today, so I will call you quickly. I will ask her to transfer the profits to you in a while, but no matter how fast it is, it will still take 2 hours.

.”

"It's okay, I'll just wait. Oh, by the way, Brother Zhai, since the finance department has sorted out the accounts, remember to ask her to transfer them to me in time every day. Didn't we agree to do it every day? Look at the people below you.

It didn’t follow your wishes at all.”

The veins on Zhai Jianguo's temples finally stopped squirming under his deep breath.

"Axin, a lot of customers came today and said that the equipment frequently dropped offline and wanted to return it..."

"Oh, for this matter, Brother Zhai, you have received the money. Now I will buy some equipment to deal with this situation. If it costs several million, I won't charge you any money. But if the money doesn't arrive, I won't have the money to survive.

Something went wrong for the first time..."

"I know,...dududu..."

While Lin Changxin was still chatting endlessly, Zhai Jianguo only said a few words and then hung up the phone angrily.

At this time, his eyes were full of sternness.
