Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 175 The Blind Admirer

After working hard all day, Mr. Li invited everyone to dinner in the evening. The Fushan cuisine in Yantai is a relatively famous Shandong cuisine, and they are mainly seafood. As a person who grew up by the sea, I didn’t think seafood was so precious. It was only after eating that I realized that the seafood here has two flavors. The deep-sea seafood is delicious, and the method here is different. It is mostly stewed in oil and stir-fried, unlike Guangdong, where it is mostly steamed and boiled.

People here drink beer in small cups, one sip at a time.I was disdainful at first, thinking that if I drink like this, I can't drink until dawn?Who knows, there are still rules, a small group of 6 cups, a large group of 10 cups, a large group for the person who is respected, and a small group for the person being respected, but this is still fair.

At the beginning, everyone was talking and laughing, warming up.Li was always the first to toast me. He drank and said: "Thanks for your hard work, Xiao Chen. I also know that I have wronged you by inviting you to our small temple. Thank you for your help!" After finishing speaking, he drank a large group .

I didn't know the rules at the beginning, so I quickly followed and drank a large group. Mr. Li hurriedly explained the rules to me, and then I realized that I drank 4 small cups too much.

Although everyone guessed that I was invited back by Mr. Li, they didn't know where I came from, and they didn't expect Mr. Li to be so polite when talking to me, so they all came over to pay respects.

Jiaqi saw that she was a veteran at the wine table, and she must have a lot of alcohol, so she came up and said, "Brother Chen, there are not many people I admire. I learned skills with you, and I respect your two groups." After finishing speaking , without being out of breath, he drank 20 glasses of wine directly. Although the cup is small, but drinking 20 glasses in one breath, the amount of alcohol and the momentum are really scary.

I wanted to try my best to drink 20 cups of it, but I still hesitated. Although my drinking capacity can withstand it for a while, I really don’t know if I drink it like this. In the end, I honestly followed the rules and drank 10 cups. It's okay to be alcoholic, but I can't let it out for a while, and it feels uncomfortable to hold it in my stomach, and I just want to hiccup.

Seeing the opportunity coming, Qian Cheng came up to toast 20 cups. After drinking, he looked at me and said, "I once took a class from a sales master. He said that the amount of alcohol is also a hard target for a salesperson. Is the amount of alcohol you drink proportional to your sales?"

I smiled and asked, "Which sales guru did you hear from?"

Qian Cheng said solemnly: "This sales master is born a genius in sales. He became the sales champion of the month shortly after he joined the job. The annual sales volume is calculated in the hundreds of millions. I remember he asked in class. Basic qualities, many people answer what are the three major elements, boldness, carefulness, and thick skin, but people say, that is not the basic quality, the basic quality is something that everyone has, it is hard work, I have been sticking to these two elements all these years One word, be conscientious and conscientious, and never forget to do these two words.”

When I heard it, I was so familiar with it. I seemed to have said so when I was training students, but I think that is the way it is taught in general sales courses, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. Seeing that everyone is very interested, Qian Cheng continued. : "At that time, he also asked the students to go to the stage to sell themselves, any method would do, he only picked creative ones and those who knew how to use their brains. I admire him very much. , he is a sales genius, but he works hard and is dedicated to his duties. I will take him as my goal and become an excellent sales talent."

I think this should be a compliment to me, right?I asked again: "Then do you know how he is now?"

Others were also curious, and Qian Cheng said proudly: "In the industry meeting a few days ago, he even gave a speech on stage."

Mr. Li almost laughed out loud, covered his mouth and said, "Ah, I went too, and I have seen him."

Qian Cheng asked yearningly: "Then have you talked to him?"

Mr. Li nodded and said: "I said, Mr. Chen has a good relationship with him. You can ask him how is his current situation?"

This time Qian Cheng put away his arrogant look, looked at me and said, "Do you still know him?"

I nodded and said: "Well, I'm quite familiar with it, but it's not as amazing as you said. In many cases, sales also have an element of luck. He has left Wanzhong now. It's not that his sales performance is not good, but some Internal struggle, he chose to leave."

Qian Cheng complained a little for his idol: "How can luck make good sales? It's not something you can understand. His departure shows that he has a better choice. The bird knows the ambition." After finishing speaking, he drank a cup angrily.

I didn't feel a little happy about this kind of fans who worshiped blindly, and said patiently with Qian Cheng: "Everyone takes a different path, and it is impossible to follow the same pattern. You can target him, but don't blindly follow him. Follow the example and focus on the goals that may be achieved in front of you, for example, how to improve your personal sales skills, enrich your cognitive field, wait for opportunities, and when opportunities come, you will not easily miss them.”

Qian Cheng didn't listen to me carefully, he was still immersed in his own world.

I thought about it, and said to Mr. Li: "How about this, Mr. Li, I'll make a phone call to see if there is any chance to invite this person's apprentice to teach everyone a class and see if it can help everyone."

Mr. Li said happily: "Of course that's good, I don't know..."

I understood Mr. Li's meaning, waved my hand and said, "Just pay for a round-trip air ticket. If you think it is really helpful to the company, you can discuss money with her."

Mr. Li said excitedly: "Okay, okay, you can arrange it as soon as possible."

Qian Cheng couldn't sit still when he heard what I said, and hurriedly said: "Really? His apprentice is the one named Bao'er. I know, I know, and she is also a powerful person. It's great to listen to her class." Easy."

I asked curiously: "Didn't you take the class of this sales master? Then you and Bao'er should know each other?"

Qian Cheng said embarrassingly: "There were too many people at that time, and they left after class, so I didn't have a chance to meet her. If you can really invite her this time, I will definitely get to know her well."

The drinking session continued, and after a few laps, I realized that Jianjun, who I thought was the most drinkable, was the first to fall down. It seems that the size and the amount of alcohol are really not directly proportional. At the beginning, Jiaqi, who was like a rainbow, was Cheng Yao. Jin's three-axe has insufficient stamina. Qian Cheng can drink it, but compared to my drinking capacity, it is still far behind. I didn't drink liquor today, I only drank beer.

As for Xiaoshuai, he didn't talk much at the drinking table, but he still drank his wine even now, sitting there without blushing and heartbeat, it can be seen that he still holds a good amount of alcohol.I asked Xiaoshuai, "Do you usually drink alcohol?" Xiaoshuai shook his head and said, "I rarely drink alcohol, but I seem to be immune to alcohol. I have never been drunk since I was a child."

I was a little curious and asked: "Then how much more can you drink now?"

Xiaoshuai thought for a while and said: "I really don't know about this. Once I drank 2 bottles of white wine, and a bottle of beer made me dizzy, but I can drink it again."

I smiled and said, "The amount of alcohol is directly proportional to the sales volume? You have to let the sales volume catch up."

Xiaoshuai touched his head and said, "I will try my best, I will try my best, Brother Chen, thank you very much, I respect your group."

I hastily backed down and said: "Okay, okay, I'll take my heart. I don't know how much I drank like this. I don't know how much I drink. I don't dare to drink with you. When you become the company's sales champion, I will definitely drink it with you." I will accompany you to the end."

When leaving, it was a bit difficult. Jianjun drank too much, fell asleep lying on the table, and couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed.We asked Mr. Li to go back first, and we figured out a way by ourselves. This kid Qian Cheng is not authentic. Seeing Mr. Li leave, he slipped away by himself.The others also left one after another, and finally I, Xiaoshuai, and Jiaqi were left.

I sighed and said, "This is close to where I live, so let's carry it to my place first." The three of them supported Jianjun, which weighed more than 200 kilograms, and returned to the place where I lived with difficulty. If there were too many, I asked Xiaoshuai and Jiaqi: "Where do you live, is it far from here?"

Xiaoshuai replied: "I live okay, but sister Jiaqi is far away." Jiaqi nodded and said, "My place is a little far away, brother Chen, if you don't mind, the two of us will live with you today." Let’s go here, it’s close to the company tomorrow morning.”

How could I refuse a beautiful woman's request for accommodation? It's just that there is another underage, a drunk fat man, and I don't know how to live for a while?In the end, I had to let Jianjun sleep on my bed. It was a big bed, which could accommodate three people, but he took up the bed by himself. Fortunately, Xiaoshuai was thin, so he barely squeezed in.

The rest of Jiaqi will sleep directly in Erbao's room, and I can only make do on the sofa overnight.

Although there is heating, but the heating has been cut off at night, I hugged the quilt and shivered all over, and survived the night with difficulty.

When I woke up in the morning, I knew I was going to catch a cold.I had a severe headache, weakness in my limbs, and a runny nose.Xiaoshuai and Jiaqi obviously didn't sleep well either, with big dark circles under their eyes, they came out, washed their faces, greeted me, and went back to the company to go to work. I told them that I was feeling a little uncomfortable. Always say, I will go there in the afternoon.

It was too cold on the sofa, and Jianjun was sleeping in the room, so I had to go to Erbao’s room to sleep for a while. It was really uncomfortable, so I covered myself with the quilt, trying to sweat, and drowsily After sleeping for a while, waking up for a while, when I heard the sound of the door opening and closing, I guess Jianjun had left.

I continued to sleep, and when I woke up, it was already dark, and I wanted to walk back to my room, but I almost fell when I got off the ground, and I had no strength in my legs. Holding on to the wall, he lay back on the bed again, not even having the strength to go to the living room to get his cell phone.

I was lying on the bed screaming every day, not working, I was cold all over, and I was hungry. I suddenly felt very pitiful. If no one came for two days, I would die of illness here, or starve to death!
