After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 56 Jump

Zhou Haoran's work experience far exceeds that of Meng Xuemin.

There are some things that Meng Xuemin cannot see through.

He had guessed it long ago!

Meng Xuemin had said before that the directors held a meeting and wanted to further promote the reform of Red Star TV, but this proposal was thwarted. The conservatives used the adverse social impact caused by the "Qin Chi Wine" incident of Crown TV as an excuse to counterattack.

Even Crown TV’s reform stance will have to be retracted in the future.

How dare Red Star TV attack so aggressively?
In the workplace, it’s always the case that what goes up is followed by what goes down.

If the upper level is in this state, it will definitely spread to the lower level.

Meng Xuemin and the life channel director Zhan Yushan behind him are both reformists.

Naturally, there are conservative forces within the channel.

Zhong Jiantong, Shao Kong, Tian Kai, and Xie Heping in the sales department are conservatives.

In Taiwan, conservatives are fighting back.

The conservative forces will naturally rise in the channel and sales department.

Taking action against the apprentice Zhou Haoran is the best choice because it is well-founded and has little impact.

Zhou Haoran had anticipated this.

Meng Xuemin wanted to say a few words for him, but Zhou Haoran gave him a look.

"This is my fault. I didn't report it to the director." Zhou Haoran smiled and first took Meng Xuemin out of the conversation. "Director, I did have some private actions this week. I visited a client."

Zhong Jiantong's face darkened and he shouted, "Zhou Haoran, you're just an apprentice and haven't received any sales training. What qualifications do you have to represent the sales department in approaching clients?"

Tian Kai, the leader of Group 2, was also displeased. "That won't do. Without rules, there's no order. An apprentice representing the sales department to visit clients—how dangerous is that? Isn't this making our TV station a laughing stock for all the other companies?"

Meng Xuemin seized the opportunity and said in a serious tone, "Haoran, you need to explain this matter clearly. First, where did you get your client resources? Second, which sister company did you visit? Tell us clearly now, and we will send an experienced salesperson to explain the matter to the sister company."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Director, this is the case. I have two points to make."

"Well, tell me."

Meng Xuemin took back the initiative.

Zhou Haoran said slowly: "First of all, I don't have any old customer resources. I am visiting new customers."

"Even new customers are not allowed!" Shao Kong continued sarcastically, "Sending a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair to visit, won't the other companies laugh to death? Do you really think that there are no more people in the Life Channel?"

"Shut up!" Meng Xuemin glared at him. "Shao Kong! This is a meeting! Where's your organizational discipline?"

Shao Kong smiled.

Not afraid at all.

After the conversation quieted down, Zhou Haoran continued, "The client I visited wasn't some other company, but an electric kettle factory that had only been established for two years. It's a private enterprise. I remember the station issued a document to actively promote cooperation between TV advertising and private enterprises."

"Private enterprise?"

Shao Kong couldn't help laughing.

Zhong Jiantong also curled the corners of his mouth and couldn't help laughing.

The other salesmen all sighed, either explicitly or implicitly.

I think Xiao Zhou has a really hard time!
With these people watching over him, Xiao Zhou's work will probably become increasingly difficult.

“Since it’s a private enterprise, there’s no need to argue.”

After all, Meng Xuemin is the director and has the power to make the final decision. He can make the final decision with just one sentence.

The sales department’s current logic for signing orders is “I’m out of money, and I need help from my brothers who are doing well”, so we must prevent apprentices who know nothing from destroying the “brother relationship”.

But Zhou Haoran visited not a sister unit, but a private enterprise.

Such a major premise no longer exists.

Meng Xuemin said calmly, "Everyone has received the notice before. In order to meet the sales targets for the second half of the year, the sales department needs to maximize the use of resources and win over every old customer as much as possible."

Zhong Jiantong rushed to say, "This arrangement is correct. If I transfer the orders I can't handle to Lao Chang, maybe Lao Chang can handle them. Similarly, if Lao Chang can't handle the customers, if he transfers them to me, maybe they can be revived."

"Old Zhong's suggestion is very good!"

Shao Kong incited. Meng Xuemin was indeed a bit weak in this regard. He said, "Each salesperson, hand over two clients you think you can't handle. After collecting these client resources, redistribute them to everyone."

"Are all the materials ready?"

Zhong Jiantong jumped out again to grab the right to speak.

Naturally, others had no objections and took out the client materials they had prepared in advance from their briefcases.

Meng Xuemin said, "Bring them all here. I'll re-screen them and distribute them to everyone."

Then, everyone lined up and handed the materials in their hands to the director.

Zhou Haoran was really a little worried.

If Zhong Jiantong jumped out at this time and asked everyone to hand over all the customer materials to him, it would be difficult to handle given Meng Xuemin's soft personality.

"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone keep working hard and strive to sign the contract as soon as possible. Meeting adjourned!"

Meng Xuemin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Jiantong jumped out again and said, "Director, we have submitted the client's materials, why don't you send them down?"

Meng Xuemin said, "I will organize and analyze these customer materials and send them to you later."

"That won't do! Everyone can look at customer information, so what's there to analyze and organize?" Zhong Jiantong was very unhappy. "While everyone is here, why not just shuffle the customer information and distribute it randomly?"

Meng Xuemin said in a deep voice, "Don't be anxious yet. We need to analyze the situation carefully. Each of you has many clients. Pick the key ones to visit first."

Zhong Jiantong challenged him in front of everyone in the sales department. "Director Meng, this arrangement isn't appropriate, is it? Everyone knows you brought a group of salespeople from the urban channel. Now that you've collected all the customer materials, how are you going to distribute them? Who can guarantee fairness and justice?"

Meng Xuemin's face darkened. "Zhong Jiantong, what do you mean?"

Zhong Jiantong said coldly, "It's nothing special. I just want to prevent any shady dealings. Among these clients, there are bound to be some that are easy to deal with and some that are impossible. If you hand over all the easy-to-handle clients to your people, I'm afraid we, the veterans who have been sticking with the sales department, won't be able to get any valuable clients."

"I said, I need to analyze these customer materials first!"

Meng Xuemin was so angry that his chest felt like it was about to explode.

This was something he had never experienced on the urban channel.

The Life Channel is a pioneer of reform at Red Star TV. It's a tough place to be. This workplace infighting is completely naked and undisguised!
“Analysis is fine, but how do you ensure fairness?”

Zhong Jiantong refused to budge and stared at him.

Zhou Haoran finally figured it out.

Zhong Jian is more assertive and aggressive than he was a while ago, surely at the behest of his backers. This is because Red Star TV's reforms are being hindered, and conservative forces are gaining ground.

It's so difficult on Meng Xuemin's side, it will be even more difficult on Director Zhan's side!

"Director Meng, if you can't treat us salespeople fairly and impartially, you won't be able to convince the public!"

Zhong Jiantong continued to exert force.

Zhou Haoran felt really disappointed when he saw that Meng Xuemin couldn't get hard.

You are the director!
He is the head of the sales department!

If you act tough, what can he do to you?
Since you've already torn your face apart, why are you still abiding by the so-called rules? The biggest function of rules is to restrict the honest people who abide by the rules!
There was nothing I could do. I could only watch Director Meng suffer setbacks at every step.

Only Zhou Haoran could stand up.

"boom!"

Zhou Haoran slammed the table.

Everyone was shocked.

"You're talking so much bullshit!" Zhou Haoran glared at Zhong Jiantong coldly. "The director said we need to adjourn the meeting. Who are you? You want to rebel? Disband! Everyone, disband! Wait for the director to distribute the client information to everyone!"

Everyone in the room was shocked.

Inspired by him, Meng Xuemin finally gained his confidence and said without question, "Those who want customer information can come to the department next Saturday to get it! It will be distributed in rotation, by lottery, fair and just! Dismissed!"

Zhong Jiantong and Shao Kong stared at Zhou Haoran angrily.

It was like I was going to rush up and fight him.
