Our Rise Era

Chapter 201 The European and American markets are going crazy!

Since the beginning of the millennium.

Huaxia Shopping Mall is a barbaric place.

Photovoltaic grassroots era...

All companies have only one belief!
That's the volume!

What to roll?
Roll the market!
Once your way of making money is revealed!
The next day, a store almost identical to yours will open up on the next street!
Day three, day four...

In less than a month, the store that was once profitable was hit hard by endless imitators!

Photovoltaic era...

We have been experiencing such an era since the millennium!
At first, [Suzhou Deschamps] started to make a lot of money and went public in the United States...

Then, emerging companies such as Yingli, Huamei, and New Era suddenly emerged within a year...

In those years, there was blind expansion and a desperate scramble to grab market share. The battle could only be described as crazy!

If you sell it for 10 yuan, I will sell it for 9 yuan. If you sell it for 9 yuan, I will sell it for 8 yuan or 7 yuan...

They pushed the profits lower and lower, until at one point the profits were only the size of a fist!

What’s even more outrageous is that some people are so crazy that they want to kill the photovoltaic store next door. They even don’t make any money at one point, but they still want to kill you…

Those Years…

All companies have only one belief!
That is……

roll!
How to roll?
When everyone has the same technology...

Everyone started competing for costs, markets, and services...

Behind the scenes, numerous dirty things happened one after another, including but not limited to damaging circuit boards, puncturing transport tires, throwing dirty water, and even several stores fighting each other to grab a share of the market on a street!

In this crazy volume market...

Many companies that could not withstand the market risks went bankrupt overnight and were kicked out...

And can the winning companies monopolize the market?
Do not!
Overnight, more emerging photovoltaic industries sprang up like crazy, rushing into the market like a swarm of ants, swallowing up the little remaining profits of the big companies.

Only those photovoltaic companies that are truly successful will eventually have the capital to go overseas and compete for overseas markets!

Financial crisis!

The Chinese photovoltaic industry in Europe and the United States has experienced a series of strangleholds, which once forced Chinese photovoltaic companies into a corner and on the verge of collapse!
After the financial crisis...

The photovoltaic industry, which is regrouping in China, is once again eyeing the piece of fat in Europe and the United States with greedy eyes.

...........................

12 month 6 day.

As a salesperson for SUN, one of the German companies hit hardest by the photovoltaic industry.

Ellie felt like he was going crazy!
In the past, he would get up every day, drink a cup of coffee, then invite clients to have dessert, and then leisurely chat about cooperation.

It is very normal to sign one or two orders a month.

During the financial crisis, although it swept the world, Germany still lived a slow-paced life. Although the stock market collapsed, many people went to the rooftops to end their lives.

But as a low-level salesperson who doesn't speculate in stocks or buy houses, [SUN] feels that his life is very leisurely...

Every day, I carry a briefcase and talk slowly and professionally about some cooperation matters!

The pace of life in the first half of the year was very slow. Often a cup of coffee would take up a whole day. I would listen to music and bask in the warm sun...

When the financial crisis was temporarily stopped and the global demand for photovoltaic industry began to recover, Eli began to motivate himself to negotiate with two customers a day...

He even got up early to review the words and language he would use when meeting with clients.

however……

When December is over...

He suddenly felt more and more that something was wrong!

More and more Chinese people began to appear in their communities.

These Chinese people were holding briefcases, some of them spoke a terrible German, and some of them didn't even know German...

Some of them don't even wear suits, and just like workers, they carry the most basic photovoltaic panels and walk through the streets all day long.

At first, Ellie looked down on these country bumpkins, and even thought that if these guys could get the business, it would be like the sky falling!
In fact...

At first, Eli did hear many customers say with disgust that these Chinese people were very rude.

They are like dog-skin plasters, sticking to you with a smile on their face and speaking almost disastrous words. They can't even explain clearly what photovoltaic equipment is. They are totally unprofessional.

What is photovoltaics?
It is new technology, new energy, and a high-end product, but in the hands of these country bumpkins, it's like selling cabbages!
When Ellie heard this...

At the same time, I also felt a bit of contempt in my heart...

But gradually!

He began to feel more and more that something was wrong!

"Sorry, we have already signed the photovoltaic contract with that Chinese guy!"

"Yes, he is indeed not professional at all, but this Chinese guy is willing to do anything for my business..."

"He would walk my dog, mow my lawn, climb up on the roof and fix all the leaks, and he would carry stuff for us for free..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ellie. They did so much work for me. I wanted to pay them, but they didn't want a penny. They just wanted us to use their photovoltaic panels for free. I'm not greedy for free, but... they promised that if there are any quality problems, they will come at any time to help us repair the photovoltaic panels..."

"There's nothing we can do!"

"..."

When Ellie received the call.

He was stunned.

That was a client he had been following for three months.

I had coffee with that client almost every day and asked about his well-being. We were originally planning to sign the contract in mid-December.

but……

Who would have known that this client who was so sure to win would all collapse overnight?

At this moment... besides being unbelievable, he also felt it was absurd. If he remembered correctly, this guest named Polly had complained a few days ago that the Chinese people had absolutely no manners at all!
After answering the phone...

He hurried to Polly's house, intending to try one last time.

but!

When he ran to Polly's house, he was shocked!

He saw a lot of cars parked at Polly's house!
He saw that the contract he had just signed this morning had only been installed about an hour later on a small photovoltaic panel on the roof!
"Mr. Polly, no, we don't want tips, you can do it for free first..."

"Yes, it's free, no charge..."

"Use it for free for 3 days first. If you are satisfied with our service within 3 days, we will sign a contract!"

"Yes, if you are not satisfied, we can come and dismantle it anytime within three days!"

"Mr. Polly, we don't want tips. We are service personnel. This is our job. We are the problem solvers on your street..."

"Yes, we are on call 24 hours a day. As long as you call, we will come immediately!"

"Don't worry about the price, we won't charge you too much!"

"..."

Eli looked at the Chinese salesman who looked quite unprofessional, with a silly smile on his face, and his poor German, coupled with his gestures, was simply shocking.

Ellie leaned in a little closer to listen...

I felt like the sky was falling in an instant!

This group of people!
Oh, God!
This person doesn't even ask for any tips for his service, and even the installation of photovoltaic panels is free!
He looked at Polly and nodded, then watched the Chinese people leave.

Just as I was about to greet Mr. Polly...

But I found that the salesman was carrying the photovoltaic panels and walking towards the villa area about 100 to 200 meters away...

Although there was some distance between them, he didn't know what to say!
but……

When that damn Chinese man pointed in his direction, Eli roughly understood it!

This damn Chinese guy is introducing his photovoltaic industry and selling his products door-to-door!
Ellie took a deep breath and then walked into Polly's house...

"Mr. Polly..."

"Mr. Eli, I know they are unprofessional, but they are free. I promise that within these three days, if the product is worse than yours, I will replace it immediately!"

"OK then……"

"..."

The customer, whose name was Polly, had a serious expression on his face. He pointed at the photovoltaic panels earnestly and looked at Eli as if making a promise.

Eli nodded.

Things have come to this point, what else can he do?
In the end, I could only shake my head!

Back home!
do not know why……

At this moment, he began to feel inexplicably anxious.

He started calling his other clients.

The phone was on and on...

He found that all the clients he had contacted seemed to be starting to become abnormal!
He rushed from door to door to visit his clients' homes!

Busy until the evening...

I returned home exhausted and was about to take a rest...

"Mr. Ellie..."

"Hello?"

“We are going to remove your photovoltaic panels, we are sorry!”

"What? You're not, wait, you..."

“Sorry, their service charge is free!”

"But……"

"I'm sorry, I called you several times before, but each time they came very late. Now I just call them and they come right away. Moreover, they promised to come within an hour. If they don't come within an hour, we can complain!"

"Oh my god, they're unprofessional, but they..."

"..."

night.

It’s deep!

Eli has been fielding similar calls.

Many customers who have signed photovoltaic contracts with them have begun to cancel their orders one after another.

Even some users who had already assembled photovoltaic systems were bewitched by these Chinese people and dismantled them all and used their photovoltaic panels!
This made Ellie feel a little crazy for a moment!
……

In the next few days!
Eli found himself with fewer and fewer clients.

He was forced to get up every day and start making phone calls like those Chinese people.

but……

Compared with these completely shameless Chinese people who are simply like monsters!

He found that he had absolutely no way out!

……

And when November 12th.

When I returned to the entrance of [SUN] company...

He received a call!
"What? I'm going to start working eight hours a day? There's going to be a performance review?"

"???"

“Do I have to clock in every day?”
