Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 581 Signing Joseph
Joseph came back and we finally managed to sign.

There are several reasons why I made this decision:
One is a message from Xiaoyue.Xiaoyue’s information told me that Dashang has two contracts, and it is impossible to sign the contract with us. They did this to hold us back, let us reject Joseph, and then wait for Joseph to leave. Let us have no choice but to come up with a second contract.As for why Xiaoyue wanted to tell me, I understand that she found out because of her conscience.

Second, the undercover agent in Zhongjing told me that Dashang has signed a preliminary letter of intent for cooperation with Zhongjing, and the terms are much stricter than ours. I think it should be Xiaoyue's second agreement?It is not difficult to infer that Dashang is letting us compete with Zhongjing, and they get profits from it.

The third is Jona's suggestion. After I asked Jona, Jona analyzed that FANCO is a company on the rise. Although the scale of the company is not as large as that of a big business, it is growing steadily and has a bright future.At present, although the scale of Dashang is not small, it has been in a state of decline in recent years. In addition, the Koreans have directly taken over, so the prospects are not optimistic. The most important thing is that the Koreans are hostile to China, which is recognized all over the world. They hate us even more than the Japanese.The things in her heart will not change. She feels that Koreans are unreliable and have too many variables.

The contract with Joseph was full of twists and turns. On the day Joseph came back, he booked a ticket for the next morning and gave me an ultimatum. If there is no clear answer by tomorrow morning, we will lose our cooperation with them. Chance.

I originally made a decision after talking with Qiao Na, but people from Dashang came to me again and handed the contract directly to me, telling me that as long as I sign now, they will go back to the headquarters to sign immediately, The contract will come into effect in three days.

On this issue, Dong Zong also hesitated. She was more inclined towards Dashang. She hoped that I could delay Joseph for a few more days and wait for Dashang's contract to come back before making a decision.

It was not until the next morning, after I received a message from Xiaoyue, that I made a decision to sign a contract with Joseph.

When we got to the hotel, Joseph had already left. Joseph didn’t answer his calls at all. I sent him a message, but he didn’t reply. He had completely lost patience with me.

When I finally arrived at the airport, Joseph’s plane had already taken off. I sat in the waiting room disappointedly, blaming my hesitant character for failing to live up to Joseph’s sincerity.

When he was about to leave, Joseph walked over unsteadily, sat next to me, and said to me, "I drank too much last night and missed the flight, let them go first, and I will stay for a few more days. "

I hugged Joseph and kissed him and said, "Drink you tonight!"

After learning that I signed a contract with Joseph, the big businessman immediately came to question me: "How can you be so dishonest? Didn't you agree that we will start a formal cooperation when our contract comes back? How do you do it?" Can you go back on your word?"

I snorted and said, "Three days later, can you guarantee that your contract will be on my desk? Then the preliminary letter of intent you signed with Zhongjing is just a piece of paper?"

Director Cui of Dashang said angrily: "That's just a preliminary letter of intent. Signing with you is a contract. Do you understand the contract? It has legal effect!"

I said disdainfully: "International business law? Then you really should study again. The preliminary letter of intent also has legal effect. Besides, is the contract you got back the same as the one you gave me before, or is it different? We Chinese hate to eat what’s in the bowl and look at what’s in the pot, you’re still very tender in terms of playing tricks!”

Officer Han patted the table and said, "I don't even know what you're talking about! You Chinese are really disrespectful. You will do whatever you can to make a profit, and what you say is like farting!"

I stared at him and said, "I don't want to scold anyone today, but I can just scold you! You have your own national pride and your own brand, but you come to China to sell our products. This is disloyal; Be filial to your parents at home and come here to be scolded. This is unfilial. On the one hand, you hold me back and don’t want me to sign a contract with Joseph. Ah, this is injustice; you unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous rebellious officials and thieves, come here to talk to me about the truth? Get out of here!"

The translation is stupid, and I don't know how to translate for a while?

After driving away the Koreans, George came in and handed me a resignation report. I asked in confusion, "Do you think my salary is not enough, or is someone embarrassing you?"

George shook his head and replied: "Although the salary you give is not the highest, it is already very generous, and with the reward mechanism of all of you, it is very generous. The working environment here is also very ideal and treats me very well. Friendly. But I am Joseph’s brother after all, and I am fully responsible for this project, I think I should avoid suspicion, and I shouldn’t have lied to you before, so I think I should resign.”

I smiled and asked, "Then why didn't you resign when I found out about your identity? Instead, you have to wait until now?"

George said sincerely: "That's because I want to get things done, and I think your choice is right!"

I hummed, returned the letter of resignation to him, and said, "I don't approve of your resignation. You will continue to follow up the overseas market. The key point is to urge your brother to promote our Wanzhong products to the whole of Europe. What do you want? Urge him all the time, help me keep an eye on him, he must pay the money that should be paid! You are the most suitable candidate, you know your brother, you know the European market, FANCO is going to do it, other market trends, You have to follow!"

George asked puzzledly: "Aren't you afraid that I will help my brother and deal with the company?"

I smiled and shook my head and said: "I believe in your professionalism, and I know that you are not such a person. Besides, the company has a whole set of management mechanisms, and the overall situation will not be affected by a certain decision of a certain person. Do it well. , Chinese companies are no longer the same as before, and your future is unlimited!"

George nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen! I will work hard!"

I smiled and said, "You can call me fly, or you can call me boss like them, of course when there are no outsiders!"

George smiled and said, "Okay, BOSS!"

The list of the first batch of European investigators was placed on my desk. Mrs. Huang stood in front of my desk, like a nun serving Lafayette, and I said with a smile: "You sit here, here I am you are very welcome!"

The old Mrs. Huang thought for a while and sat down on the chair opposite to me, and said politely: "Mr. Chen, look at this list. Is there anything you want to modify? I consulted Manager George. This is what he meant. Let me show you."

I looked at it and said, "If George thinks it needs to pass, just pass."

The old Mrs. Huang hummed and said: "Okay then, if there is no problem, we will book tickets according to this list. Do you need me to arrange accommodation?"

I shook my head and said, "I've already made an agreement with Joseph, as long as we go there, he will arrange the rest, and he should pay for this little money!"

The old Mrs. Huang said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Mr. Chen, what about you? Are you going by yourself or with the brigade?"

I froze for a moment, only to see that I was not on the list.

I didn't understand for a while why I wasn't on the list, I thought about it, probably because George thought he had no right to arrange me, so he said: "I'll arrange it myself, I'll book tickets when I need it, and I'll tell you later! "

The old Mrs. Huang said with a smile: "Okay, then I will make arrangements first!"

Mrs. Huang left, so I ran to Mr. Dong's office. When Mr. Dong saw me coming in, he frowned and said, "I know what you are here for! No! The two of us can only go alone, and one must stay at home!"

I squinted and said, "That's easy, you stay, I'll go, you said you can stay at home for a few days all year round, so it's time for me to go out and be chic!"

President Dong curled his lips and said, "I'm not going out for a tour, I'm not bringing Joseph back, besides, I'm more familiar with the European market than you, and I'm more suitable to lead a team than you, and I also want to go to the United States by the way." !"

I said angrily: "It's not me who talked about it, what kind of excuse are you talking about? It doesn't make sense!"

Dong Zong smiled and said: "After this trip, come back, you can go again. After this time is over, I will approve you and Sheng Nan to travel to Europe for a month. Is this okay for the head office?"

I hesitated for a while, thought about it, but immediately refused: "No! You may speak correctly, and then I don't know what's going on!"

President Dong said patiently: "You really have other things to do, you can't leave!"

I asked with a groan, "Is there anything I can do that you can't do!"

Dong Zong said: "I want you to run for the post of president of the China Household Electrical Appliances Association."

I opened my mouth and said, "What? Are you crazy? I'm going to elect the president? What qualifications do I have? If you don't compete, I will?"

Dong Zong nodded and said: "I can't go, I won't go, even if I achieve the position of president, it can only be used as a name, you are more suitable than me, I have studied it, go to participate Most of the candidates are the company's general manager, deputy directors, executive directors, etc., all of whom are deputy positions!"

I groaned, nodded and said: "Then I understand, the chairman should be appointed by default, either someone from above, or a full-time job in a company, and then the secretary-general of the association will preside over the work, right? "

Mr. Dong hummed and said: "That's right, so, you just go to fight for a permanent representative of the association. It would be even better if you succeed in running for the president!"

I said dissatisfiedly: "You go to visit the mountains and rivers, and I go to run for president, what do you think? Even if you are my boss, you can't be so strict with others and more lenient than yourself, right?"

Mr. Dong smiled and said: "I'm the boss, I have the right to say, you go, go and see, and I didn't set any goals for you. If you are interested, you can run for a position and come back. If you are not interested, forget it. It's so lively. It's really inappropriate for me to go. Besides, I really have something to do in the United States. Also, these few days, Xiaohao came out of drug rehabilitation, and you have to help me take care of him. I really can't educate this child! "

I cut it and said: "I have become your nanny. I am just a part-time worker. I have to take care of your family affairs and your company's affairs. How much do you pay me a month? You want to exhaust me to death." A princess from Xu Yue’s family is enough for my headache, and now Dong Zihao from your family is here, am I busy?”

Dong Zong said with a smile: "You can do more work!"

I poohed and said: "They are all capitalists, so they don't care about the suffering of our common people at all. When you come back, I will ask for a long vacation!"

When walking out, President Dong said: "You are not only my employee, but also my family!"

I didn't look back, and there was a warm current in my heart.

Shengnan, Xiaoxue and Mr. Li are back, I will pick them up at the airport.

Three women in one play, sure enough!There are 7 or 8 suitcases. Fortunately, I asked A Liao to go with me, otherwise I don’t know how to take them?As soon as he got on the car, Katsuo complained: "Although the air in Zhuhai is very good, it is still much worse than that in Japan!"

I chuckled and said, "When you go out for a trip, you feel that the moons in foreign countries are a bit round, don't you? Don't be so foreign, okay?"

Xiaoxue interjected: "What my aunt said is the truth. I have a watch here, which is specially used to measure the air index. You can read it a lot!"

Looking at the watch in her hand, she asked, "Did you bring me any presents? Do you have any such ****... discs of show actors?"

Katsuo glared at me and said, "What are you talking about? There are children here!"

Xiaoxue winked at me quietly, and I immediately understood, and said with a smile: "What did I say? Momoe Yamaguchi is the idol of our generation. What's wrong with liking her works?"

Katsuo said dissatisfiedly: "Just make it up!"

Halfway through the drive, Mr. Li asked A Liao curiously: "Where are you going? Shouldn't you go home first? We are all exhausted with a load of luggage, so we just want to go home!"

A Liao looked at me, and I explained: "I still have to pick up my little ancestor, Mr. Dong's son, who came out of the drug rehabilitation center today!"

Several people groaned at the same time, and Shengnan asked: "Drug rehabilitation center, is this kid still taking drugs? This is more serious? Does President Dong care? Why do you want to pick it up?"

I groaned and said, "President Dong has gone to Europe, and I have to deal with this kind of little devil, right, Xiaoxue?"

Xiaoxue snorted and said, "Why do you ask me? I'm very obedient now, right, little aunt?"

Katsuo nodded and said, "That's right, my Xiaoxue is the most obedient! The illness has been cured, and the school has been contacted. Next year we will go to Japan to study!"

I groaned and said, "What? Go to Japan to study? Where is it bad to go to study, why not go to Japan? I thought it was the Westernization Movement? Learning from foreigners to control foreigners, is it not good to study in China? Why go to Japan? What good things can I learn?"

Katsuo glared at me and said, "What do you know! Japan has a lot to learn from. Xiaoxue is very accomplished in art. We have studied it and talked to her mother. You don't have to worry about it." From now on, Xiaoxue will be under my control!"

I said dissatisfiedly: "We're all on the bridge with Xu Yue! Xiaoxue, are you going to cross the river and demolish my bridge?"

Xiaoxue said with a smile: "Uncle, there's nothing you can do about it. You know better than me who is the most powerful person in the family!"
