After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 29 A combination of kindness and power
In order to reassure his parents, Zhou Haoran said that the station would arrange dormitories for the staff.

But not at all.

Housing is also a difficult issue he needs to solve now.

Renting a house is unlikely. Not to mention whether he can find a suitable house in a short period of time, the 1600 yuan in his hand may not even be enough for the deposit.

After searching for half a day, I finally found a small hotel behind the Gawit Internet Cafe.

It may be prepared for the temporary needs of couples who go online.

It doesn’t matter anymore.

Just a place to stay, only 50 yuan a night.

In the afternoon, I returned to the station.

Zhou Haoran told his colleagues in the office about the pager and conducted a small survey to see if everyone needed a pager and whether the station needed to provide one.

The answer is obvious.

Everyone needs it!
Who wouldn’t want something given for free by the station?
Don't be in vain!
There was even a man who had just spent 2600 yuan to buy a new Motorola pager two months ago. He also made excuses, saying that his machine had problems and kept malfunctioning.

Zhou Haoran stood in the office and said loudly: "Since everyone needs a pager, I will write a written application to the director and ask for his approval."

Zhong Jiantong couldn't stand it any longer and scolded him, "You don't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. You just apply for it when you say so? Do you know how much a pager costs?"

Zhou Haoran lowered his posture and said with a smile: "Team Leader, let's give it a try, maybe it will work."

"impossible!"

Zhong Jiantong was now very resentful, so he tried to find ways to cause trouble for the new Director Meng.

Unexpectedly, this young apprentice always gave him opportunities to attack.

In front of a large crowd, Zhong Jiantong said coldly, "A pager costs two to three thousand. For over 20 people, each one would cost fifty to sixty thousand. Who's going to pay for it?"

Zhou Haoran said weakly, "The station should be able to provide it, right?"

"Oh!" Zhong Jiantong curled his lips in disdain. "Of the four channels in the station, which one has provided their sales staff with pagers? They just got here and don't know anything, yet they're just dreaming!"

Zhou Haoran remained humble and polite, saying in a gentle voice, "Team Leader, why not give it a try? Even if the leader doesn't approve, there's no loss..."

Zhong Jiantong snorted, "What a blockhead!"

This confrontation was witnessed by all the colleagues in the office.

Not to mention the newcomers, even Xie Heping, the old salesperson of the Life Channel, couldn't stand it anymore and thought that Lao Zhong was going too far.

If you have grievances, don't take them out on Xiao Zhou!

Who took your place? Who are you taking revenge on? Xiao Zhou is such an obedient child. Did he provoke you?
After Zhou Haoran finished writing the application and went to the director's office, Xie Heping couldn't help but say, "Old Zhong, Xiao Zhou doesn't really understand the situation, but he wants to apply for pagers for everyone, and it's a good intention. What you just said was too harsh."

Zhong Jiantong frowned, "What do you mean?"

Xie Heping said, "I think it's about right. He's only eighteen years old, about the same age as your son."

Shao Kong was displeased when he heard this. "Heping, you're not right. Just because he's young, he should be disciplined more strictly. He's handling so much money in business. If he's not properly disciplined, he'll definitely end up in the same corruption incident as before."

Xie Heping sighed and said no more.

The others are all new, and this is an internal "family affair" of the group, so it's really hard to say much.

……

Zhou Haoran went to the director's office again.

Meng Xuemin felt a lot of pressure when he saw him now. "There was quite a commotion outside just now. What happened?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Well, I gave Zhong Jiantong another stage and let him perform."

"What kind of platform?"

"You'll know when you ask later, Boss. I have a good idea for you." "What good idea?"

Meng Xuemin had a bad feeling.

This kid is not easy to deal with!
Zhou Haoran walked to the chair opposite the desk and sat down.

"Since ancient times, management has emphasized the use of both kindness and authority. This morning, despite Zhong Jiantong's objections, you forced me into the same group. That was 'intimidation.' This afternoon, it's time for you to show kindness. We're a new team, and we need to build cohesion."

"Yeah." Meng Xuemin also had this consideration. "Let's go to team building tonight."

Zhou Haoran said with a smile: "What kind of favor is this? Who needs a meal?"

Meng Xuemin looked suspicious, "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Haoran handed over the application in his hand.

Meng Xuemin's eyes nearly popped out when he saw it. "Giving all salesmen pagers? That's just fantasy!"

"Yes, it's just a fantasy." Zhou Haoran met his sharp eyes. "Director, these salespeople are all well-off. Petty favors are meaningless. Only when you accomplish something as big as a fantasy can your authority be better established."

Meng Xuemin shook his head repeatedly, "How much does this cost?"

Zhou Haoran said casually, "Fifty or sixty thousand, maybe? The small treasury can't even take out this little money?"

"You have such a loud voice."

Meng Xuemin felt that this kid was a little arrogant.

Zhou Haoran said in a deep voice, "Director, the sales target for the second half of the year is 360 million yuan, and each team is responsible for 90 yuan. Isn't this just a fantasy? You have to set an example!"

"This amount of money is too huge, and I don't have the authority."

Meng Xuemin thought this proposal was too fantastical.

"You don't need to apply to the station or the channel, just use our department's slush fund." Zhou Haoran's tone was a little strange. "No matter how much money is in the slush fund, it's not your money. It's the sales director's money."

"Ok?"

Meng Xuemin narrowed his eyes.

Zhou Haoran said sternly, "Only if you hold this position firmly will you have control over the slush fund! If you can't become the director, no matter how much money the slush fund accumulates, it will have nothing to do with you."

Meng Xuemin didn't like the way he spoke.

But I have to admit that he is right.

"It's okay if it's less, but this amount is too large and I can't approve it."

“Who can approve it then?”

"It needs the director's approval."

"Director Zhan?" Zhou Haoran couldn't help but laugh. "Then go find him. You can take my application to him. I guarantee he'll approve it!"

Meng Xuemin twirled his index finger and thumb and said slowly, "It would be difficult for him to approve such a large sum of money."

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "If he can transfer you from the Urban Channel to be a parachuted-in director, he'll definitely approve it. It's just a few tens of thousands of dollars. The director doesn't care about money."

"I'll go find him!"

Meng Xuemin stood up suddenly.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Wait for the funds from the finance department, which will probably be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Once the money is released, you can let Zhong Jiantong and Tian Kai take charge of procurement. They are the leaders of Groups 1 and 2, and they can help you show fairness and impartiality."

Meng Xuemin thought he was misguided and warned him, "Don't be too radical. The few people left in the sales department are all clean. It's unrealistic to expect them to take advantage of the purchasing process and then target them."

Zhou Haoran said, "That's not what I meant. I just think they're clean and won't do anything fishy in the process of purchasing the pagers. If you arrange for your direct subordinates to purchase, if they get distracted and get caught doing something lucrative, not only will they be fired, but you, the director, will also suffer."

Meng Xuemin's face turned dark.

I just think this guy’s train of thought is weird!
