Despite Xing Baohua's controlling stake, it's all a partnership; it's not independently owned by Da Mi.

Once a large-scale electronics factory possesses core technologies, it will inevitably face various restrictions sooner or later.

When Xing Baohua went home for dinner that evening, his father told him that his position had changed.

Xing Baohua guessed that the ranking of the deputy factory directors had changed. There were so many deputy factory directors, and they were ranked according to the work they were in charge of.

Sure enough, Xing's father was put in charge of sales.

While eating, Xing Baohua put down his chopsticks and said loudly, "Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

Then he asked Xing's father, "Do you even know what sales is? Can you keep those bastards in the sales department in check?"

Mr. Xing sighed and shook his head, saying, "This was also decided by the factory's Party Committee."

"Just do your job day by day. You don't understand anything and you can't manage anything anyway. What can you do? Your time is almost up. Just get through this period and call it a day."

“You have to learn the skills even if you don’t know them, since it’s a position assigned by your superiors! You keep saying you’re just coasting along, but you’re just coasting along in your own factory too,” Xing’s father retorted.

"This is just the factory randomly assigning positions. You should just focus on managing your production. That's your job, within your area of ​​expertise. If they transfer you to an unfamiliar position, you'll need time to familiarize yourself with it, you'll need..."

Xing Baohua looked up at his father and asked, "Did someone give you advice and tell you to come to me for help?"

The old man fell silent.

Xing Baohua knew the crooked thoughts of those in charge.

To be honest, Xing Baohua has tried his best to help. Even if the next step is to produce desktop computer cases, Xing Baohua wants to entrust the production to a machinery factory.

The production line that was supposed to be made for Changhong was also given to the machinery factory, wasn't it?

He couldn't very well become a salesman for a machinery factory himself.

Xing Baohua ate a few bites of rice and asked the old man, "When you take office, what are you planning to do?"

"What kind of fire?"

"Are you planning to make a few moves? Like, something to do with the sales department?" Xing Baohua asked.

"Why would I bother them? If I cause trouble and they kick me, who will do the sales?" said Mr. Xing.

See, that's what an honest person is like! To put it bluntly, Mr. Xing is only fit to be a mid-level manager. He's really not cut out for senior leadership.

Xing Baohua told Xing's father that the first step was to address the issue by reforming the reimbursement system. Unnecessary expenses in the factory should be reduced by cutting extra reimbursements.

Only expenses will be reimbursed; food, lodging, and travel details will be covered.

Furthermore, a red line must be drawn: how much should accommodation cost per day, how much should food cost, transportation expenses should be fully reimbursed, and long-distance telephone or telegram expenses should be reimbursed upon presentation of receipts.

By mastering these four basic key elements, you can essentially control the sales process.

During this period, the two sectors with the most lucrative opportunities were sales and logistics.

A banquet can result in a lot of empty promises.

The money spent was from the factory, but the favors gained were from personal connections.

If you were to check the accounts of a machinery factory now, the bulk of its expenses would still be in sales.

Many factories were driven out of business by these companies.

Of course, it can't be said that he just ate and did nothing; he still achieved some results.

Xing Baohua urged his father to try his best to start the first fire.

This was also Xing Baohua's small act of revenge against the machinery factory. Those high-ranking factory leaders wanted to use the old man as a pawn, so he'd just turn the tables and fire on them first.

Let's make things chaotic for you guys first.

Seeing that the old man was about to shake his head, Xing Baohua quickly said bluntly: "You are the person in charge of this department. Regardless of whether it will be successful in the end, you should express your opinion."

"If they put out your fire, you'll have to prepare a second one."

"Why is it Huo Huo again? Can't we have more?" Xing's father asked.

"No way! You need to show your authority, your presence. If you stand there like nothing, people will gossip even more."

"Okay, tell me, what's your second fire?"

“Set targets for each salesperson! Doesn’t the machinery factory have two sales departments? One for internal and one for external. Each department needs to develop a sales plan and set sales targets.”

Mr. Xing shook his head and said, "What can we do if they can't finish? We can't just stop paying them! If they really band together, they can deliberately fail to complete the task for you to see. What can you do about it?"

Xing Baohua held up one finger and said, "This involves a reward and punishment system. Those who bring in business should be rewarded. The reward should be substantial, for example, if they bring in an order worth one million, you can directly reward them with ten thousand, making them a ten-thousand-yuan household. Second, there should be a punishment system; if they fail to complete their tasks, they can only receive their basic salary, or even be transferred to another position."

The old man shook his head again and said, "Your second attempt at this will probably cause a huge upheaval. No, no."

Xing Baohua didn't know how to communicate with the old man. He had old ideas, always wanted stability, and still wanted to achieve something.

If things continue like this, we won't even have enough to eat. All seven or eight thousand people in the factory will be left to starve. If we change the system then, it'll be over.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

The only way to unfreeze this is through reconstruction.

Or let this factory with its glorious history become a speck of dust in history.

As for the third fire, Xing Baohua didn't even want to talk about it. He'd rather get the first two sorted out first. Judging from the old man's current state, he didn't even want to start a fire.

As for the third fire, it was rather malicious. Not just somewhat malicious, but extremely malicious.

However, Xing Baohua still encouraged the old man to light a fire first to see the effect.

At least he'll know who's against him, and he'll keep that in mind. See who opposes him the most; that shows they're the ones who are really reaping the benefits.

This is tantamount to cutting off someone's livelihood; no wonder they'd fight you to the death! These are the people we'll be focusing on eliminating next.

How can we achieve results if we don't clean up the pustules?

Explain to the old man what sales are. Only when the product profits are sufficient can the factory support so many people.

That's what they say, but if it really came down to it, even Director Li would probably be apprehensive.

But why is it still necessary to have the old man take the lead?

Xing Baohua also wanted to make the old man a target of hatred so that they would kick him out of that circle.
