Chapter 374 Dinner Party
Zhou Yuan returned to the rental house, washed up, and had a good sleep, not waking up until it was pitch dark.

After washing his face and getting rid of the dizziness in his head, he picked up his cell phone and started calling other subordinates.

"Hey, are you up?"

"Have you eaten? I haven't eaten either. Then come over to my side and call the others. Let's go get some skewers."

Half an hour later, several core members who rented a house nearby gathered around Zhou Yuan.

He took a look and found that everyone was there, so he called out and took everyone to a nearby restaurant.

After ordering beef and mutton skewers and a dozen kidneys, everyone sat down in the private room.

The tall new guy opened a bottle of Yanjing swiftly and filled Zhou Yuan's glass. He said with a smile on his face, "Brother Zhou, you must have worked hard this time. You have traveled to seven or eight provinces and all the big cities."

"He was summoned by President Qin just after getting off the train. Our Brother Zhou is really valued by President Qin." Someone next to him interrupted.

Another person proudly gave a thumbs up, "Of course, our brother Zhou is the first one to be promoted directly from product manager to general manager of the business department. This step jumps over several levels. What did he rely on? He relied on his own strength and was reused by President Qin."

"To be promoted directly by President Qin, those who are highly qualified must be very capable." The tall guy said half flatteringly and half sincerely, "President Qin doesn't tolerate any injustice."

"Yes, yes, it's still Brother Zhou who is awesome."

"From now on, we'll rely on Brother Zhou to take us off!"

"It's absolutely right to follow Brother Zhou!"

The others started to praise him, then picked up their glasses and clinked them with each other.

Zhou Yuan drank a few glasses with a smile on his face. His expression didn't change much, but his spirits were high. He waved his hand.

"What's the point of taking off? We just need to do our job well for Boss Qin. Boss Qin will not treat us unfairly."

"Our company is developing rapidly. It has only been a short time since we have more than 500 people, not counting our operations department."

"Xiao Tang originally joined the company at the same time as me. He was an intern at that time. Now he is also a team leader with seven or eight people."

Xiao Tang smiled and touched his hair without saying anything.

He had only been in the company for a year when he came to the campus network for an internship. He was willing to work hard and seriously, and was quickly made a full-time employee by Vice President Zhang.

Afterwards, the operations department was established and he was transferred there to run around with Zhou Yuandong. He was recently promoted.

The campus network was established only two years ago, and the first batch of employees who joined the company were promoted and given salary increases as long as their abilities were not too bad.

There are also a few particularly outstanding ones who were promoted above their level, which was like reaching the top overnight.

Zhou Yuan suddenly said meaningfully, "Does everyone still remember our company's former Vice President Chen Guangxia?"

As soon as the words fell, the box suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Why did they bring him up for no reason?
"This Vice President Chen was just a programmer working for others two or three years ago." Zhou Yuan said slowly, "Later, he joined the company through the relationship with President Zhang and worked as a server maintenance worker."

"At that time, there were only a few programmers in the company. Chen Guangxia was valued by President Qin because of his skills, and he quickly became the vice president."

"After that, I was transferred to Qvod and became the CEO. Later..."

Zhou Yuan didn't continue talking, but poured himself a glass of wine.

Everyone silently lowered their heads to pour themselves a drink, and then they were driven away.

Chen Guangxia was so glorious in the past. President Qin and President Zhang were often not in the company, so the campus network was basically left to him to manage.

He is also Mr. Zhang's senior classmate, and almost all the programmers in the company are his juniors.

During that period, he really had the support of hundreds of people and his words were more effective than those of Mr. Qin. People who didn't know him thought he was the boss of the campus network.

As a result, President Qin easily sent Chen Guangxia away.

His younger classmates all fell apart.

Zhou Yuan said slowly, "We work for Boss Qin, and we get as much food as our bowls can give us. Boss Qin is not stingy. Those who started their business with Boss Qin all have houses and cars."

"Even if you don't have the ability to work hard, you can still have enough to eat. The key is to have a clear mind."

"When you work for Mr. Qin, you must first work hard and secondly be smart. Then you will have a chance to be promoted."

Everyone was silent for two seconds, and then they all echoed: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Brother Zhou is right!"

"We will unite around Brother Zhou and work hard to conquer the world for President Qin!"

"I wonder if President Qin has any new instructions?"

Zhou Yuan smiled, very satisfied with his subordinates' attitude, "Boss Qin summoned me today and indeed gave me a new goal."

"First of all, our operations department needs to continue to expand and upgrade to an independent operations center! We need to continue to recruit people, especially the field sales team, which needs to be at least doubled!"

Everyone gasped at first, and then became ecstatic.

The continued expansion of the operations department means that their positions will also have to increase. Previously, they were in charge of ten people, but now they will have to manage thirty.

More people means more power and more benefits.

Zhou Yuan continued: "In the future, we will not only operate in big cities, but also continue to expand to the lower levels."

"Don't just focus on those big cities and provincial capitals. Not only should we occupy the second- and third-tier cities below, but we should also go to the counties below."

Everyone was stunned, a little confused, "Ah?!"

"What?" Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice, "Is Boss Qin supporting you for free? What's wrong with asking you to go to a few more places?"

"Our marketing team will implement a KPI system in the future, which will be calculated based on the number of client installations. The more Internet cafes you win and the greater the number of installations, the more bonuses you will get!"

Now that you say this, we won’t be sleepy anymore.

Everyone immediately perked up, patting their chests one after another, vying to express their opinions.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry. I will not let go of any Internet cafe even if my legs are broken!"

"Brother Zhou, I'm the same. I won't go home for the New Year. I won't come to see you unless I travel all over the province."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said seriously: "There is one more thing, and this one is the most important."

Everyone immediately quieted down and looked at Zhou Yuan curiously.

"This matter is more difficult to handle." Zhou Yuan sighed, "Boss Qin and I mentioned that our field promotion team occasionally has conflicts with others."

"Boss Qin took it very seriously and emphasized it."

"In the future, we must pay attention to methods and approaches in our work, solve problems within the legal framework, avoid being too radical, and do not encourage conflicts."

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment. Door-to-door marketing is not just about treating people to meals and dealing with social interactions.

There are all kinds of people on the ground, and you never know who you might meet.

Moreover, the security environment is not good these days. In some places, hooligans are rampant and will stir up trouble even if there is nothing wrong. It is common for them to have their posters torn down when they are doing door-to-door sales, and they often fight.

Now President Qin has given new instructions, and it seems that he does not support them fighting. What should they do?

Xiao Tang said with a bitter face: "Brother Zhou, can you talk to President Qin? We are usually very friendly, but there are some things that cannot be dealt with without fighting. We understand the instructions he gave, but in the actual process... it is not easy for us to carry out our work."

Xiao Tang is a graduate of a prestigious university. He had always been a model student before leaving school. It took him only a few months of field sales to gain such awareness. It can be seen that field sales work is really a training job.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Boss Qin doesn't want anything to happen to anyone. After all, making money is the most important thing for people who work here. Getting injured and going to jail is something that should be avoided if possible."

"Boss Qin also said that if you get injured at work, the company will reimburse you for medical expenses, lost wages, and nutrition expenses. You don't have to worry about that."

Everyone was stunned, and suddenly they were a little confused about what Mr. Qin meant.

Zhou Yuan said slowly, "Next year our company's first online game will be launched. By then there will definitely be competitors competing with us, so our marketing work will be very important."

"In order to prevent our competitors from deliberately provoking us and finding fault with us, President Qin will arrange for some reporters to follow and conduct secret investigations to protect everyone's legitimate rights and interests."

"When the time comes, we must let the reporters see that we are all reasonable and well-behaved. We are the victims!"

Everyone suddenly realized, it’s just blackmail, why didn’t you say it earlier!

"We are good at this." The tall man said excitedly, "At that time, we just lay on the ground and said we had a headache."

"Bullshit!" Another person sneered, "You are as strong as a bull, who would believe you if you said you were beaten?"

"If you really want to do it, just hire some uncles and aunts, give them some money a day, and let them take over when something happens. They don't even need to act when they lie on the ground."

"Fuck, you are so mean. The old man and the old lady have such weak legs. If they are beaten up by a young man, what should we do?"

"No, no, it's not appropriate to hire old men and women. Besides, we're running around everywhere, and they can't always follow us. What if they can't keep up?"

“Let’s just hire college students!”

Zhou Yuan was stunned, and suddenly said, "College students? Who said we would hire college students?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang raised his hand a little embarrassedly. "I said, college students are young and strong, especially those who come here to work and study. They don't spend much money in a day."

"That's a great idea!" Zhou Yuan slapped his thigh and said, "Just hire college students, and hire from prestigious universities. The more prestigious the school, the better!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, yes!

Why didn't I think of this?

Hello college students!
You are young, energetic and able to work. It doesn’t matter if you can’t win a fight. Just lie on the ground with your student ID and let the reporters take pictures of you.

The company can handle small matters, but if things get out of hand, the school will naturally take over.

The influence of a university is much greater than its campus network.

Zhou Yuan looked at Xiao Tang with appreciation. He was indeed a student from a prestigious university and had a very active brain.

Afterwards, the discussion in the box became more and more heated, people's imaginations became more and more wild, and their ideas became more and more malicious.

……

At this time, Chen Guangxia was also eating.

The place where he ate was much more upscale, and there were only three people in the box.

Director Hao Zhiqiang, an old acquaintance of the Olympic Committee, was introducing Director Meng, "This is Mr. Chen Guangxia, and this is Director Meng of the Association."

Chen Guangxia smiled and shook hands with Director Meng, then sat opposite him.

Director Meng had a blank expression on his face, and looked at Hao Zhiqiang with some displeasure, "Director Hao, didn't we make an appointment with the person in charge of the campus network? Why didn't he come?"

Hao Zhiqiang was a little embarrassed, "This is Mr. Chen."

Director Meng frowned, "I don't remember this person on the campus network?"

Chen Guangxia took the initiative to speak, "I was previously the vice president of Campus Network, and later I was transferred to Qvod as CEO."

Director Meng was a little confused. "The CEO of Qvod.com, that's not right. I remember that his last name was Kou, right?"

Hao Zhiqiang said quickly: "This Mr. Chen is not ordinary. Because of his outstanding work ability, he later went to another company."

"I work for a company affiliated with Microsoft," Chen Guangxia said modestly, "It's the Chinese branch of YouTube, which was recently acquired by Microsoft."

Director Meng showed a surprised expression, "So you are a senior executive of Microsoft. Nice to meet you."

"We are not Microsoft executives. In fact, we belong to YouTube," Chen Guangxia corrected.

"I know, I know," Director Meng said with a smile, "It's a big company, worth more than 2 billion US dollars, and it was taken away by Microsoft in one fell swoop."

Normally, Director Meng would not care much about American Internet companies, but YouTube is different because this company and Facebook are both sponsors of the "International College Student Summer Camp."

Campus Network, Qvod, Facebook and YouTube, the "International College Summer Camp" is inseparable from these four Internet companies that are inextricably linked.

Looking at Mr. Chen in front of him, Director Meng understood instantly.

He worked as an executive at Campus Network and Qvod, and then at YouTube. In total, he worked at three of the four companies.

It seems that Mr. Chen Guangxia has a strong background.
No wonder they sent such a person here this time. He is the real representative of the big boss behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Director Meng became even more enthusiastic and picked up his wine glass to clink glasses.

Chen Guangxia is also a first-rate socialiser at the dinner table, toasting Director Meng while chatting with him.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere became lively.

Hao Zhiqiang, who was sitting next to him, also breathed a sigh of relief. He was previously a deputy director with little real power. Apart from having a say in certain projects of the Olympic Committee, no one paid attention to him normally.

He didn't want to come this time, but was dragged here by force.

After chatting for a while, Director Meng put down his glass and started to get down to business. "This year's International College Student Summer Camp was a success, with extraordinary significance and huge impact."

"It showcases the elegance and ability of Chinese college students to the world, which shows that international college summer camps are very necessary."

"Since the event was so successful, we must strike while the iron is hot and continue to do a good job of it."

"We had an agreement between Mr. Qin from the campus network and us before. We need to make some changes to the selection method for the second phase of the event. We have drawn up a plan. Mr. Chen, please take a look at it."

Chen Guangxia took a piece of paper handed over by the other side, glanced at it and frowned.

This is not a plan at all, it's just a list.

There was a string of names densely written on it, and it looked like there were about thirty or forty of them.

This Meng guy has a big appetite.

I'm not afraid of holding you to death.
