Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Chapter 376 This day was filled with anger!

Chapter 376 This day was filled with anger!

Xing Baohua rested at home for a day and then went to the factory to check on things.

First, we arrived at the office inside the electronics factory.

The electronics factory didn't rush to conduct an investigation. After a series of reforms, once the electronics factory was on track, it became a professional management structure.

Don't be fooled by the large number of people in an electronics factory; it's just a processing plant where people earn a meager living from labor and resources.

The real profits are from technology companies.

The tech company is now being run by his secretary.

In fact, this person's employment relationship is still with the electronics factory.

When the big boss returned, the chief secretary first notified all departments to prepare for a meeting so that everyone could report the situation to the boss.

Xing Baohua was in his office, first looking at the reports from the past few months that he hadn't been home.

After reading it, I frowned slightly.

Half an hour later, at the briefing, Xing Baohua listened to reports on the operations of each department.

Dami Technology only has two valuable departments.

One is research and development, and the other is sales.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the R&D has now been transferred to HK Haina.

But the root is still in Dami Technology.

Only sales were not separated; he personally controlled them.

For the sales staff, the work is relatively easy.

In addition, Xing Baohua uses an agent system, so the sales department doesn't need to go out to do business at all; they just need to maintain good relationships with the agents.

However, the sales reports that Xing Baohua saw in his office showed a sharp decline in recent months.

"You've only been away from home for a few days, and your sales performance has already dropped?"

I wanted to ask the chief secretary, and since there might be a meeting soon, I figured I'd find out about it during the meeting!

This was a briefing session for department heads, and the number of attendees was small.

Laboratory Director: Liu Qingyun.

Sales Director Liu Weiqiang was one of the original "Eight Tigers".

Due to his strong work ability, he was transferred back to headquarters as sales director after the Xing Baohua model reform.

Purchasing Department, Shen Jie, the former head of the purchasing department of the municipal machinery factory.

The CFO is one of our own, Xiao Bo Mei.

Yang Jing, Foreign Trade Department.

The administrative director is your personal secretary.

According to the reports, all other business operations were normal, except for sales, which plummeted.

what does that mean?

The rice factory is working overtime to meet demand, but they can't sell the rice, leading to a backlog of unsold products.

Xing Baohua listened attentively to Liu Weiqiang's report.

How much was shipped in which month, and how much did each regional distributor purchase?

The story was told in a very plain and unremarkable manner.

Then, each department continued their discussion.

Liu Weiqiang, the salesman, infuriated Xing Baohua.

He had to wait until everyone had finished reporting before asking, "Old Liu, you've been back at headquarters for a few months now, are you adjusting well?"

"I can adapt anywhere," Liu Weiqiang said with a smile, picking up a cigarette from the table and offering one to Xing Baohua first, then to Shen Jie who was smoking.

"Did you compare the sales figures before you came with the sales figures after you came?" Xing Baohua asked.

"I've compared the options and looked for the reasons. The problem lies with the distributors. Our excessive promotion led to them accumulating too much inventory. Now that it's the off-season, sales have dropped."

As the sales director, I've been trying to find a solution. After much thought, the best we can do is ship a small quantity of goods to our distributors, giving them time to clear their inventory.

After Liu Weiqiang finished speaking, Xing Baohua's expression changed.

"I can tell you with certainty that the best product in the world is rice!"

"You're supplying less goods to your distributors so they can clear their inventory first. Have you considered the potential for overstocking in our warehouses?" Xing Baohua asked angrily, slamming his fist on the table.

“Factory manager, even if I don’t say it, the distributors will voluntarily reduce the amount of goods they receive,” Liu Weiqiang said.

"How much is the sales department's budget each quarter, and how much was spent this quarter?"

"The national budget is 5.6 million yuan per quarter. This quarter, 700,000 yuan was spent."

Xing Baohua lit the cigarette Liu Weiqiang had just handed him and asked, "When you eight first arrived, do you remember what I said to you?"

Liu Qiangwei lowered his head and remained silent.

Xing Baohua said, "Back then, you asked me what I wanted the eight of you to do. I said your task was to help me spend money!"

"Over five million every quarter! The third quarter is almost over, and you've only spent seven hundred thousand on me?"

"Spending money is easy! But we can't spend it recklessly!" Liu Weiqiang said, raising his head slightly.

Xing Baohua was so angry she wanted to cover her face.

"What about the soft advertising support for the agents? What about the promotional activities? Didn't I teach you these things?" Xing Baohua slammed his hand on the table again.

Everyone watched Xing Baohua lose his temper. They had worked together for a long time and had basically never seen him get angry.

They always resolved all their troubles with a smile.

Xing Baohua noticed that everyone was looking at him with surprise. He waved his hand, telling the others to go back first, leaving Liu Weiqiang, the salesman, behind.

"Mobile phones and pagers, although reduced, are still within control. But what about computers?" Xing Baohua asked.

"We've done some research, and we found that very few casual customers actually buy from us. But most of them are concentrated in a few major first-tier cities."

"We've encountered competition in terms of unit order volume!" Liu Weiqiang said.

"Competition? How many companies in the country can compete with us? Tell me about them." Xing Baohua laughed. In China, there's no one, whether it's configuration or advanced technology, who can beat Dami Computer?

"Lenovo is snatching orders from regional distributors in various cities. That's the main issue. There's also a foreign company competing for orders."

Which one?

"DELL!"

"..."

Upon hearing Liu Weiqiang's words, Xing Baohua stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and asked, "How many foreign companies have entered our domestic market?"
