Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 426

Tang Jie left, and I went to Mr. Dong's office. Mr. Chen just came out of Mr. Dong's office and smiled at me and said, "Come and report the situation to Mr. Dong?"

I wanted to ask the question knowingly, and said: "Such a major quality accident and such a huge loss, you must let Mr. Dong know, right?"

Mr. Chen asked curiously: "About how much?"

I snorted, ignored him, and walked into Mr. Dong's office.

When President Dong saw me, he was also frowning. He looked at me and said, "Thousands of calculations have been made, and I didn't count that the house was recruiting thieves."

I sighed and said, "It was my mistake. I trusted people too much. I thought Mr. Chen still had professional ethics. It seems that under the temptation of money, everything has become pale and powerless."

Dong Zong was not in the mood to listen to my self-blame, and asked, "Have you calculated how much you lost?"

I shook my head and replied: "It hasn't come out yet, and what comes out is only known. The unknown loss is impossible to estimate. I have found someone to minimize public opinion, but there is no impenetrable wall. If someone has the heart And because of that, we have absolutely no control over it.”

Dong Zong said decisively: "Then let's act first and admit our mistakes."

I hesitated and said, "What if it can be controlled? Or is it really that they accidentally made a mistake? This is not a warning?"

Dong Zong sighed and said: "It's this time, are you still thinking about luck? There are not so many ifs, if you stop and stop, there will be future troubles."

I hummed and said, "Okay, I see. How will Mr. Chen and the others deal with it?"

Dong Zong said fiercely: "I should be held accountable. I am merciful enough to them. I regret that I have been with them and me for so many years. Although we have different intentions, we are still competent. We can't just let it go this time." pass them."

According to the statistics of all the losses, there are two batches of goods, all of which have problems, return, replenishment, freight, installation, and a series of losses reached more than 6000 million.This does not include the delay in the construction period of the order, and the penalty for late delivery according to the contract.

I found several media that have been cooperating with us, and published an "Apology Letter to Consumers", and the company's public relations company, the editor-in-chief of the media, carefully edited such an article, mainly admitting mistakes, saying The harm of product quality to consumers is also used to remind consumers of the dangers of counterfeit and shoddy products. The focus is on the products produced by our company. Once quality problems are found, they will be returned and replaced.

After the article came out, there was little response, and many consumers still didn’t buy it. Many media also accused us of the poor quality of Wanzhong’s products. They have been deceiving consumers for so many years, and there is a trend of boycotting our Wanzhong products in the market.

After one month's sales statistics report came out, it was really horrible. It was an off-season, and with this turmoil, Wanzhong's stock price also fell sharply. I really know what it means to be pushed down by everyone.

I immediately held a dealer and agent conference to stabilize each shipping channel.And promised to drop a point to make up for the loss caused by this quality accident.Fortunately, most of the agents have been with us for many years, and they are more confident in our Wanzhong products, and they have not complained too much or switched to other merchants.

The direct sales store wants to launch a new year's promotion, but I suppress it. Telling them to do so will only make people think that we are selling bad goods. Not only will it not increase sales, but it will also make consumers feel bad. Product quality, resulting in greater doubts.The best way is to respond to all changes with the same. People in need will still buy our products when there is no better choice.

The reaction of the shareholders is quite ordinary. After all, they have experienced too much wind and waves, and there is no doubt about it. It is basically impossible to seize power and usurp the throne, so this is relatively safe.

The legal department of the group began to collect evidence, but there was no direct evidence to prove that this quality accident was caused by human intent, at most it was a mistake.It can only be dealt with internally by our company. From a legal perspective, it is difficult to hold them accountable.

Mr. Chen and the others didn't plan to ask for any pension at all, and they didn't need to be dismissed by the company. They voluntarily applied for resignation.This saved a lot of trouble, otherwise, they would have to pay them money.They left, taking away a lot of technical backbones, we have no shortage of people, but the technology they took away, I believe it will be used in other manufacturers soon.Even if there is a strict confidentiality agreement, it cannot prevent our company's technology from leaking.

The land was officially listed for sale, and a total of five companies participated in the bidding.

On the day of the auction, Mr. Dong asked me to participate on behalf of the company. I had little interest in the land and the company had no expansion plan. The production can basically meet the sales, and I just went to praise the green water garden.

As soon as I entered the venue, I saw Lao Feng, who was gesticulating and chatting with Du Shiyang. I walked over unexpectedly and asked Lao Feng, "What are you doing here?"

Old Feng said straightforwardly: "Why can't I come? We are also a bidding company?"

I said oh, looked at the LED screen in front of the hall, and asked: "Which company is yours? Didn't you see Yingke? Ah, Keying, thank you for thinking it out, when did you get it?" ? Are you qualified?"

Old Feng snorted and said, "What does it mean to be qualified? If you can pass the preliminary review, you are naturally qualified. We are determined to win this land!"

I cut my head and said, "Show some face, why are you determined to win it? I dare not say that Lushuiyuan casually put out tens of billions without looking up or beating your heart. What are you using to compete with others?" what?"

Du Shiyang said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case, we still have a limit. If it exceeds the budget, whoever wants it will want it."

I asked, "What's the starting price?"

Du Shiyang shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

I looked at the screen, besides our three companies, there are two other companies, one is Rakuten, and the other says American Relik Technology Corporation.I haven't even heard of it, so I picked up the phone and asked Xiaoyue to look it up for me.

When I was about to sit down, someone patted me on the shoulder. When I looked back, it was Mr. Wang. It turned out that my old leader was the boss of Wanzhong Electric.

I hurriedly got up and said hello, "Mr. Wang, why are you here?"

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Ah, I'm here on behalf of Letian."

The smile on my face gradually disappeared, and I asked, "You formed Lotte?"

Mr. Wang shook his head and said: "No, no, I have only taken over not long ago." After speaking, he shook hands with Lao Feng, who nodded politely without saying much.

The bidding started with a reserve price of 2500 million, which was 500 million more than our budget.Unexpectedly, five powerful companies came to bid for this piece of land that seemed to have no commercial value at first, and it became a favorite, and the price was raised from the ground.

At the beginning, everyone was lukewarm, and when they felt 4000 million, they couldn't make it up, and no one wanted it anymore.But every time it was time to close the deal for the third time, Mr. Wang raised the sign again.

My mobile phone vibrated, and a message from Mr. Dong was sent. The number on it was 4000 million, which I understood.But I don't understand how this piece of land is worth 4000 million. What is it used for?After 4000 million, I gave up.

When it reached 5000 million, I saw Du Shiyang hesitated for a moment and looked at her phone. Afterwards, the staff next to her whispered something in her ear, and Du Shiyang raised a sign again for 5500 million.Lao Feng shook his head to me, indicating that he was about to quit, and I nodded.

The U.S. Ruilik Company, which has not bid much, suddenly raised its placard, 5700 million.There was an uproar in the audience, and there was a lot of discussion. I just observed that the person holding the placard was a beautiful Chinese beauty, and there were two foreigners sitting beside her, analyzing something non-stop.

Mr. Wang did not hesitate, and raised the sign again, 5900 million.Du Shiyang frowned, glanced at me, my phone vibrated again, a number 6000 million jumped out, I was startled, I nodded, 6100 million, I raised the sign in my hand.

This time, all the eyes of the audience focused on my face again, and I calmly looked at the screen in front of me.

The two times of 6100 million, my heart almost jumped out, thinking that if no one really wants it, what should I do?

During the third bid, Mr. Wang once again raised his placard for 6500 million, which has far exceeded everyone's budget and exceeded the value of this piece.

Du Shiyang looked at me again, and I shook my head decisively, telling her to give up.

Du Shiyang hesitated for a moment, looked at her mobile phone, and with difficulty, she raised the sign again, 6700 million.

My heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden, I was wrong, Du Shiyang was very wrong, the commercial value of this land is not 6700 million at all, plus the later investment, it is impossible to have any rate of return.Even if you build a paradise on this land, you won’t be able to sell it for a good price.Besides, according to the city government's plan, this land will definitely not be used for commercial housing for them.

I didn't look down on Mr. Wang and the beauty representing the American company. I know that unless they are crazy, this is definitely their bottom line.

Not surprisingly, Lvshuiyuan got the land.Many people walked over to congratulate Du Shiyang.

But I wasn't in the mood at all, just waiting for me to scold her well when we were alone together.

After leaving the venue, the beautiful woman from the American company came to me, smiled and said to me: "You are Chen Fei, Mr. Chen?"

I nodded and asked curiously, "We know each other?"

The beauty smiled and said, "I don't know you, but our company's agent knows you, and he asked me to make friends with you."

I hummed, not too curious, just thinking, how to use this green water garden?How can such an expensive land be used to recover the cost?I was among the crowd, looking for Du Shiyang.

The beauty looked at me, and she didn't have much interest in her, so she said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Aiwen, and I'm the general manager of the China Region of the American Relique Company." After finishing speaking, she handed over her business card.

I took the business card politely, took out my own, handed it to her, and said, "Nice to meet you!" After speaking, I saw Du Shiyang come out, waved to her, and signaled to get into my car.

Ai Wen said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you, if we have time, let's have a good chat?"

I nodded and said, "Okay, I have time."

After speaking, he walked to his car.

As soon as Du Shiyang got into the car, I began to curse: "Are you out of your mind? This is such a price, why do you dare to ask for it? Lao Feng and I have never dared to ask for the price, because we were afraid of raising the price. Thinking about scaring them away later, you can do it, let him take it for 6500 million, it’s a loss to him. Why do you still bid? Tell me, what do you plan to use this land? This is not the city center, this is Industrial parks have no commercial value."

Hearing my reprimand, Du Shiyang also became angry, and yelled at me: "How do I know? That's how my dad gave me the reserve price, and my budget is only 5700 million, which is a full 1000 million more. You yell at me What? I don't know who to yell at?"

I drove into the company, President Dong was waiting for me in the office, Du Shiyang and I walked in.

Dong Zong and I said, "Got it? I don't even know what to say about her?"

Du Shiyang said aggrievedly: "This is not a card I raised on impulse!"

President Dong smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, this is a decision made by President Du and I."

I looked at Dong Zong suspiciously.

Dong Zong explained: "Inside information, this industrial park will be signed to Pingsha, and the entire industrial park may have to be re-planned. In the next ten years, we will build the largest amusement park in Asia, Ocean Park, which will be bigger than Shanghai and Hong Kong Disneyland. Still big."

Both Du Shiyang and I were stunned, and I asked, "Isn't this industrial park just planned? How can it be changed every day? It's unlikely, right?"

Du Shiyang also questioned: "Many companies have built factories here, what about this factory building? This loss is not small?"

Dong Zong said with a smile: "Since we want to move there, we will naturally get corresponding compensation. The environment in Pingsha is better than here, the traffic is more convenient than here, and there are many related supporting facilities around. It is a mature Originally, the city government planned to build two parks, one is a high-tech park and the other is a light industrial park, and now the two are integrated into one, which is very convenient and very good.”

I still have some doubts: "Even so, the land can't produce flowers, so it's worth 6700 million?"

Dong Zong said mysteriously: "It must be worth the money. Don't worry, this land is jointly developed by Wanzhong and Lvshuiyuan. Half of the family, we will pay 3200 million, and Lvshuiyuan will pay 3500 million. When the time comes to invest We account for 4% of the returns, and Green Water Park accounts for 6%.”

It's true that there are people in the court who are good at handling things. It seems that the meeting between Mayor Liang, Lao Du, and President Dong was still effective.

The quality accident ended quietly without a sound.Reports coming back from various provinces show that sales are picking up.However, in some provinces and regions, because of the impact of the accident, the agent directly withdrew.

There are only two major disaster areas in this quality accident, one is SD Province and the other is BJ City.
