Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 425 Advanced Meeting
Lao Du thought for a while and said, "I have to ask Mr. Dong to introduce the mayor of Xialiang for me."

I hurriedly replied: "Okay, why don't you go with me now, it's not too far anyway, but don't bring so many people with you!"

Old Du was also a decisive person, so he dismissed the meeting, followed me, and got into the car.

Before returning to the company, I hung up the phone with President Dong.

When I arrived at the gate of the company, I saw Mr. Dong standing there waiting.

Mr. Du was also flattered, got out of the car hurriedly, strode in, and shook hands with Mr. Dong.

A Liao opened the car door for me very considerately, and when I got off, he got in and drove the car to the parking lot.I pulled Du Shiyang and followed Lao Du and Mr. Dong, and said to Du Shiyang: "Our Mr. Dong is really saving face and greeted him at the gate in person."

Du Shiyang smiled and said, "It's only you who don't take my dad seriously."

When I arrived at Dong Zong's office, seeing their politeness, I couldn't hold back anymore, so I interjected and said, "You two, stop boasting and get straight to the point."

Old Du blushed, and Mr. Dong blamed him, "Why are you talking so inappropriately?"

Lao Du hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I think you and I should have gotten used to it by now? Let me just say it, I want Mr. Dong to introduce you, Mayor Liang, to me. land."

Dong Zong said with an oh: "Then you don't need to go through Mayor Liang, I will ask for you."

I said directly: "You don't need to ask, I have inquired about it, and it is Letian who is going to buy the land, and Mayor Liang personally approved it."

Dong Zong immediately understood and said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll call Mayor Liang."

The three of us sat in Mr. Dong's office, waiting for news.

I walked to President Dong's wine cabinet, opened it, and rummaged through it.

Du Shiyang said with a smile: "You are really brave enough. If you let Mr. Dong see it, you can't pull your skin?"

I continued to search hard, found a Zhonghua cigarette, took it out, and said: "Mr. Dong doesn't smoke or drink, and she will give her even fewer gifts. It's a waste to leave it alone. Why don't you give it to me." He took out a cigarette case and handed it to Lao Du.

Old Du hesitated for a while and said, "Is smoking allowed in Mr. Dong's office?"

I lit one, exhaled and said, "No, but you are here, and if you want to smoke, can she not let me?"

Lao Du hurriedly pinched the cigarette from his hand and said, "Aren't you hurting me?"

I laughed and said, "Even if you pinch it now, it still smells like cigarettes. When Mr. Dong comes back, I can smoke it for you."

Old Du was furious: "You...you..."

Dong Zong came back and said with a smile: "Let's have dinner with Mayor Liang in the evening. I'll treat you. Let's book A Fei's restaurant. His place is big and hidden. You can drive directly into the VIP building in the backyard. Over there no one."

Lao Du hurriedly nodded his thanks, President Dong smiled and said: "We are a family, why not be polite, besides, Mayor Liang also really wants to get to know an entrepreneur like you."

Du Shiyang poked me with his finger, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Dong knows that you run a restaurant? It doesn't care about you?"

I said carelessly: "What's the point? I don't open a restaurant, so there's no chance for Mr. Dong to eat and drink all the time."

With outsiders around, Mr. Dong was somewhat embarrassed, and retorted: "When did I eat and drink? When did you say you went, I didn't ask you to bring it back and pay the bill?"

I said dissatisfiedly: "Report the ghost? How do you report it? After the report is over, isn't it still my own money?"

Dong Zong argued: "That's still my money!"

I corrected it and said, "Then you should pay for it yourself, instead of asking me to reimburse you."

President Dong snorted and said, "Is there any difference?"

Old Du opened his mouth and said, "Is this how you usually handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates?"

Mr. Dong and I looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing more.

In the evening, Mayor Liang went into battle with only one car. Mr. Dong and Lao Du were already waiting in the box.

I opened the car door in the parking lot in the backyard and let Mayor Liang into the box. Mayor Liang said to me very kindly: "I heard that this is yours? Such a big industry? Young people are not bad." !"

I hurriedly said: "No, this is opened by my friend, and I just hold a part of the shares."

Mayor Liang nodded at me with his hand, and went in without saying anything.

After letting Mayor Liang in, I closed the door for them.

When the food is served, I can hear the laughter inside from time to time.

A meal lasted until midnight, and 3 bottles of liquor were sent in.

When they came out, except for Dong Zong, the other two were slightly drunk.

It can be seen that this meal is quite enjoyable, at least on the surface.

Since it was too late, I arranged for Lao Du and Du Shiyang to live directly in the VIP building.

Then, ask someone to take Dong Zong home.I didn't even ask them what they were talking about.

After that day, our company’s products had product quality complaints all over the country. The complaints were all kinds of problems, and the after-sales department was overwhelmed.

Almost all the people who could go down to the market went down.

There are three main problems that come back. One is that the remote control fails, the other is that the noise of the equipment exceeds the standard decibel, and the most troublesome problem is that the circuit breaker trips due to excessive power.

I urgently held a product quality meeting, and first got mad at Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen, can you explain what's going on? Is the slogan of strict quality control just talking? Find out the reason for the quality?" ?”

Mr. Chen said calmly: "Let me admit my mistake first. It is my negligence in management. The problematic equipment has been transferred back, and now I am analyzing it with all my strength. It is certain that there is no problem with the main board of the controller. It may be just The spring tension of the battery box is not strong enough, so the battery is not tight."

I snorted and said, "Maybe? I don't want any possibility. Probably, probably, what I want is an absolute answer. Then there are two more questions?"

Mr. Chen said patiently: "Don't worry, listen to me, the problem of noise is the problem of the compression package. The raw materials of this batch of compression packages were replaced by the Hunan branch. It is estimated that the processing is not detailed enough. The copper wire The radius error is relatively large."

I resisted not having an attack, and listened to him continue to say: "As for the tripping of the circuit breaker, I think it is the same as the previous problem. The power of the compression package is unstable, which will cause the current passing through the circuit breaker to increase, resulting in tripping. "

I said decisively: "Check, check as soon as possible, and see how many such products there are in total. If it doesn't work, all of them will be taken off the assembly line. Replace the copper wires with those made by electricians or Greening, and produce them in small batches first, and test whether they will still work. Have such a problem? In addition, call Tang Jie who is in charge of the Hunan branch, I want to see him, and send someone to check, what is the problem? Remember, if I am sure, the answer is yes, there is no possibility, estimate."

After I finished speaking, I looked at Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen was expressionless, and his eyes were fixed on the vacuum flask in front of his desk.

After the meeting, I went to Mr. Chen alone, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen won't blame me, did you save face at the meeting?"

Mr. Chen also said with a smile: "How can it be? It's all for work. It's because I didn't do my job well and neglected my duty. Man, I'm getting older, so I should also plan to retire."

I stared at Mr. Chen for a long time, hoping to see what he meant, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is in his prime, why should he retire?"

Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "It's your young people's world now. Now the average age of People Group is 40 years old, and the management is even younger, only 35 years old. I'm just an old guy, and I can't keep up with the times."

I vaguely felt something was wrong.

According to Mr. Chen's usual personality, like today's incident, he will definitely fight with reason. Even if I am the general manager, he never takes me seriously. He was still arrogant, but why did he lose his temper today? Even if he was wrong about this, he could justify it, but today he didn't, he was very abnormal.

Mr. Chen left, and I, Ma Shan, told Xiaoyue, "You go to your Manager Li and ask her, what's wrong with Mr. Chen recently?"

After Xiaoyue walked for a while, Xiaoli called and said: "Mr. Chen, I checked, and there is nothing unusual. It is that he has a lot of phone bills this month. In addition, I heard from his secretary that he has recently left the workshop. They are more diligent and often leave early.”

I hummed and said, "Recently, I have to carefully observe the people who come into contact with him."

Xiao Li didn't ask anything, and agreed.

Tang Jie arrived the next day. He probably came to my office right after getting off the plane. When I came here in the morning, he was already standing at my door.

I asked with concern: "Haven't you come home yet? You just ran over here, thank you for your hard work."

Tang Jie was a little embarrassed, not as casual as he was in Hunan before, and said politely: "It's not hard, Mr. Chen, what's your urgent matter with me?"

I let him into the office, asked the secretary to pour him a cup of coffee, and then said, "Let's not talk about the politeness, the company's product quality has gone wrong recently, you know that?"

Tang Jie nodded and said, "I know, this has something to do with our Hunan company?"

I hummed and said, "The investigation now shows that there is a problem with your copper wire, and the deviation of the wire diameter is too large."

Tang Jie immediately retorted: "This is impossible. I have checked every batch of threads myself, especially the threads for the group. I am very careful."

I lowered my face and said, "Don't be so sure about everything. I'll ask someone to bring the inspection report right now. You can take a look."

When the report was brought over, Tang Jie looked through it carefully, looked at it for a while and said: "This is wrong, the copper wire of this specification should not be used for this type at all, this is also wrong, they produced it. Wrong, look here, and here, my delivery slips are marked with the usage specifications."

I hurriedly looked over, took a look, picked up the phone and said, "Xiaoyue, call the director of the production workshop."

Xiaoyue said yes.

After a while, the workshop director came in, and I threw the report over and asked: "The copper wires are wrongly matched, you don't know until now, do you?"

The workshop director didn't even read the report and said: "If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake!"

I stared at him curiously and said, "Say it again?"

The workshop director said loudly: "If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. Who hasn't made a mistake yet?"

I said with an oh: "Is there any reason for your mistake?"

The workshop director said indifferently: "I didn't say I was justified, at worst I quit."

I suddenly understood, pressed the phone and said to Xiaoyue, "Please invite Mr. Chen to come here."

The workshop director said nonchalantly: "It's useless to call anyone over, I'm quitting."

I sneered and said, "You think you can just walk away if you quit? Do you know how much the company's economy has been lost because of your mistakes? You won't be able to pay this amount even in your next life. Is that money enough to exchange?"

The director of the workshop weakened all of a sudden, and quibbled: "What did you charge for? I don't even know what you're talking about?"

I snorted and said: "This is an economic crime. It's easy to check. You can find out if you have any extra income recently. The conversation we just had was also on my answering machine. You admitted it yourself. your fault."

The workshop director was obviously dissatisfied and said angrily: "Don't scare me, it's useless. I said it was my dereliction of duty at work. Who can make some mistakes? This is the company's business, not my personal business. Many people can be held accountable.”

At this moment, Mr. Chen came in, and I questioned him: "Mr. Chen, your soldier has admitted his mistake and is about to resign, so let's just let it go. You can figure it out?"

Mr. Chen said straightforwardly: "Ah, it's because I can't manage well. If this is the case, I'll resign as well. I'm going to retire anyway."

I snorted and said, "Mr. Chen, you may not even get a penny of pension for retiring like this!"

Mr. Chen sighed and said, "There is no other way. I admit it. Who made me make such a big mistake, which caused heavy economic losses to the company."

I confirmed the thoughts in my heart and said decisively: "Okay, I will ask someone to count the loss of this product first, and then I will notify the two of you. I will pursue all relevant people one by one. Mr. Chen, you guys If you want to resign, just go through the formal procedures, and don’t make things difficult for anyone.”

Mr. Chen said with a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, I don't want to retire so dishonorably, I can't help it, my ability is limited, my energy is limited. I will tell Mr. Dong directly."

The two of them left, and I asked Xiaoyue to count and see how many unqualified products there are in this batch of goods.Then he said to Tang Jie: "You go back to Hunan and hand over, to Xiaowan, you will come back to work in the group immediately and take over the position of workshop director."

Tang Jie was a little panicked and asked, "So fast? Can I do it?"

I comforted: "You can do it, I have always been optimistic about you, after you come back, help me recover the loss as soon as possible."
