Chapter 354: A rising dark horse, number one in transaction volume
"Lao Lei, relax. It's only the first day, and our company has only signed one deal, with a turnover of only 150,000 yuan."
The person who comforted Director Mine was the leader of the agricultural machinery factory. It seemed that he was comforting him, but in fact he was being Versailles.
A transaction volume of 150,000 on the first day is a pretty good result.
"We only have 50,000."
The leader of the textile factory sighed and felt a little tired.
The light industry factory suffers from the low unit price. It seems that they sell a lot, but the total amount is only a small amount when calculated. Unlike the machinery factory, one machine can be worth a truckload of furs.
"It's quite good that the textile factory has 50,000 yuan. After all, it's only the first day." Leader Xiao is very satisfied with this result.
Each unit had a task for this exhibition, and it seemed that the textile factory and the agricultural machinery factory would exceed their targets. He felt a little relieved, at least not all of them were wiped out, and two units still managed to open.
One year of participating in the exhibition, the results were dismal, with the total transaction volume for the entire province less than one million. Their leaders had to put on a brave face and face the ridicule from other provinces.
They said they shouldn't just sit there and do nothing, but should vacate the booths and give them to other provinces with better performance.
These words made them feel very uncomfortable. They had tried very hard, but the Northwest lacked the right time and place. No matter how hard they tried, they could not compare with the economically developed cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou.
They didn't expect to surpass Shanghai and Guangzhou at all. As long as they were not at the bottom, their requirements were so humble.
Leader Xiao felt hopeful. With such good results on the first day, maybe they could rank in the middle this year?
Other units reported their achievements. Director Lei remained silent, but the corners of his mouth were raised high, because the transaction volume of other units that signed the contract was not as high as that of their winery.
Three of the seven units signed the contract, and four were left out.
Leader Xiao was already very satisfied. He looked at Director Lei and asked softly, "Old Lei, how is your winery?"
In fact, he didn't have much hope. How could an unknown red wine possibly compete with an old and famous wine like Maotai?
But as a leader, you must treat everyone equally. Even if you know the result, you must ask and not let your subordinates feel disappointed.
"Fifty."
Director Mine extended a hand and proudly reported today's transaction volume.
Everyone was stunned. What fifty?
Sold it for fifty dollars?
"Did it sell for fifty yuan?" Leader Xiao asked gently, without any discrimination.
It’s good to be able to sell it for fifty yuan. This is a good start and deserves encouragement.
"Five hundred thousand. Today's transaction volume is five hundred and eight thousand. Odds and ends don't count."
Director Minefield reported the number with a smile, and everyone in the room was dumbfounded. Five hundred thousand?
Is this true or false?
Could it be that Director Mine has really gone crazy and is talking nonsense?
"Lao Lei, did you really sell it for 500,000?"
Leader Xiao raised his voice, a break from his usual calmness and composure.
"How can I lie about something like this? I signed seven contracts today, totaling 500,000 yuan. If you don't believe me, ask Comrade Li."
Comrade Li is the person in charge of signing contracts for this exhibition, and he knows the winery's transaction volume best.
"It is indeed five hundred thousand."
Comrade Li smiled and nodded. He was actually also very surprised. He didn't expect that Qianjin Winery would be the dark horse of this exhibition.
He was supposed to report to his superiors after returning to the guesthouse, but before he could do so, he was called to a meeting.
"Hahahaha, good job, Lao Lei. You guys are short on manpower, right? I'll assign a few people to help out at your booth tomorrow."
Leader Xiao laughed out loud, and his eyes became warm when he looked at Director Lei.
Those who can generate foreign exchange for the country are good comrades, and he must strongly support them.
"No need for help for now. Xiao Luo and Comrade Huang from our winery are worth ten people each. Today's seven orders of business are thanks to them. With my clumsy tongue, I couldn't sell a single bottle of wine."
Director Lei rejected Leader Xiao's kindness and also praised the contributions of Luo Xinxin and Huang Jinxiang.
As a leader, you must seek truth from facts. If your subordinates have done a good job, you should tell them, otherwise it will make your subordinates feel disappointed.
"How do Xiao Luo and Comrade Huang sell their products? Old Lei, tell us about it so that we can all learn from their experience." Leader Xiao said with a smile.
Others also pricked up their ears, wanting to learn the sales champion's secret to success.
"They both speak foreign languages and are good at speaking. We sat on the bench all morning without a single customer. I was almost anxious. Xiao Luo and Huang Jinxiang were not in a hurry. In the afternoon, they wanted to sit down and said they wanted to go shopping. After only an hour, they brought a dozen foreigners with them. They chattered in a lot of gibberish. I couldn't understand a word they said. I just heard them say "good, good", but I didn't understand what they meant."
The mine director described the scene in the afternoon in vivid detail, and everyone listened with great interest.
"Goode is a foreign word, meaning good," Comrade Li explained.
"No wonder those foreigners kept saying 'good' after drinking. They were actually praising our wine!"
The mine supervisor patted his thigh and grinned.
"Lao Lei, keep talking. What happened to the foreigners after drinking?" someone urged, eager to hear what was going on.
"After drinking, they say 'Good'. Then Xiao Luo and Huang Jinxiang started blabbering again. Oh, Huang Jinxiang said, 'Our wine used to be drunk by the emperor and empress. It requires 81 steps to make. It's really complicated. Even the foreigners were dumbfounded when they heard it.'"
Some of Huang Jinxiang's words were in Chinese, and Director Lei could understand them.
When he heard this, he was actually a little panicked, because wine making doesn't have 9981 steps, isn't that cheating?
But later Luo Xinxin told him that this was not called cheating, it was artistic processing. If the wine was not good, it would be cheating. Their wine was good, so it was artistic processing.
Director Lei still felt something was amiss, but when he saw the seven contracts and the transaction value of 500,000, he immediately calmed down.
This is artistic processing. Even the emperor has to do artistic processing!
"Is your wine so troublesome?" someone asked curiously.
"Of course, good things take time and effort to make. Otherwise, why would the foreigners love our wine so much? They placed an order for half a million in one go!"
Director Lei admitted without hesitation that Xiao Luo had said that if anyone asked, he must say that it was a series of 81 steps, and his statement must be consistent so that no one could find fault with him.
"As long as we can brew good wine, all ninety-nine eighty-one steps are not a problem. Lao Lei, Xiao Luo and Huang Jinxiang from your unit are indeed talented!"
Leader Xiao doesn't care about the details, he only cares about the results. Qianjin Winery is now ranked first, and this is the experience of success that other units must learn from.
"Of course. Xiao Luo is the backbone of the winery. Without her, there would be no winery."
Director Lei praised Luo Xinxin highly. Without the gluttony of the Luo family's ancestor, there would be no Qianjin Winery today!
Luo Xinxin, who was praised by Director Lei, lay on the bed with her eyes closed to rest. She originally wanted to take a shower when she came back, but Guangzhou was still very hot in October, especially in the exhibition hall, which was stuffy and hot. She was sweating after a busy day and her body was sticky.
But Sun Jie came back early and went to the bathroom to poop, so she could only lie on the bed to rest.
She fell asleep while lying there. When she woke up, half an hour had passed and her stomach was growling with hunger.
Luo Xinxin took some clean clothes and wanted to take a shower, but the bathroom door was still closed and Wang Lijun was lying on the bed. It was obvious that it was Sun Jie inside.
This old woman has been in the toilet and hasn't come out yet. Is she eating shit in there?
