Chapter 119 Participation
Han accompanied Yu Xiaoli to Chunyi Company.
They originally thought it was just an ordinary business negotiation, but only after arriving did they realize how grand it was.
The large conference room was packed with people, and a banner hung on the wall that read: "Chunyi Company Product Seminar."
Han looked over and found that some of them were employees of the purchasing department whom she had met before, and some were sales staff whom she had met at various trade shows.
But Manager Chen didn’t know where he had gone at this time.
Han Que and Yu Xiaoli looked at each other, wondering what he was up to.
But since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Han quietly asked Yu Xiaoli whether she had brought all the necessary products, experimental reports, and R&D data.
Yu Xiaoli nodded and said that she had copied them all.
Han nodded. She knew that this was the good thing about Yu Xiaoli. When working as an assistant, she would think ahead of everything and would rather carry everything with her than forget anything.
In addition, her own mobile phone pendant is also a small USB flash drive, and she carries all her frequently used files with her.
She looked around and found that no one greeted them, so she could only stand at the door of the conference room, not knowing where to sit and hesitated for a moment.
Five minutes later, a little girl came over and asked cautiously, "Are you from the Chening Company?"
Yu Xiaoli nodded: "It was Manager Chen who notified us to come to the meeting, but I don't know if we will attend this meeting. Where is Manager Chen?"
The girl continued in a low voice, "Manager Chen is in the chairman's office right now. He told you to sit in the last row first."
Only then did Han Que and Yu Xiaoli see clearly that on the back of the last row of chairs in the conference room was a piece of white paper with the words "Specially Invited Representative" printed on it.
There were already several people sitting on that chair, but Han looked over and saw Zhang Qiang, whom she had known before.
They are all familiar colleagues, so it seems that this is an open bidding process.
Han couldn't help but admire Manager Chen. No wonder this person had been able to sit in this position for so long. Even if he had some selfish motives, he would make the process flawless so that others could not find any fault.
She and Yu Xiaoli sat down on the chairs and stood up. When Zhang Qiang saw Han Que, he deliberately stepped over Yu Xiaoli, leaned over and extended his hand: "Assistant Han, it's been a long time since we last met. I heard you got a promotion now."
Han extended his hand and shook it gently, smiling modestly: "Well, I'm just a clerk, there's no talk of promotion."
Zhang Qiang added, "This is a product seminar held by Chunyi Company. It's called a seminar, but it's actually a preparatory meeting for product selection. I heard that after this seminar, the selection of products for next year will basically be divided among these companies and products."
Han said "oh" and glanced at Yu Xiaoli.
Yu Xiaoli shrugged and said she had never heard of it.
Zhang Qiang asked, "How are you guys preparing? I just got back from a business trip and wasn't fully prepared when I was called in."
Han smiled and said to Zhang Qiang, "We didn't receive any notice and thought it was just a normal business negotiation, so we didn't make sufficient preparations."
Zhang Qiang glanced at her and said, "I heard that your Zhening Company has been facing many difficulties since Lao Wang and Lao Li left. Today is a rare opportunity for you. How can you not prepare well? Mr. Han, please be humble."
Han smiled slightly and praised Zhang Qiang for being well-informed.
Zhang Qiang smiled a little proudly, crossed his legs, and said that Lao Chen was a very loyal man.
Yu Xiaoli was about to say something, but Han secretly tugged at the corner of her clothes, signaling her to speak less.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard at the door of the conference room. Han looked towards the door and saw Xu Chun, surrounded by a group of executives. She was wearing high heels and walking in front with high spirits and graceful manner.
Han hadn't seen her for more than half a year. Seeing her now, she still looked very young and elegant, even younger.
As Xu Chun walked, he listened attentively to Manager Chen's report and nodded frequently.
When she walked into the conference room, her eyes met Han Que's. He was slightly stunned, as if he had just recognized her.
Han bowed slightly, nodded, and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Xu."
Xu Chun nodded lightly, withdrew his gaze, and walked past them leisurely with a scent of Chanel No. 5 perfume.
Yu Xiaoli whispered to Han Que, "Why do I feel that Mr. Xu is getting younger and younger?"
Before Han could say anything, Zhang Qiang said, "That's because Swiss medical beauty technology is getting more and more advanced. I heard that she goes to Switzerland every three months." He sighed, "Ah, in our industry, a woman's appearance is very important. If you don't look young, how can you sell products to consumers? But who knows whether the product is good or the medical beauty technology is advanced..."
He said this and laughed softly again.
Han didn't say anything, and Yu Xiaoli didn't say anything either.
They sat up straight, looked at the podium, and listened to Manager Chen's opening remarks.
Manager Chen's opening remarks were brief and to the point. He only said that in order to adapt to changes in the market situation, the sales department and the purchasing department held a joint meeting to discuss the market responsiveness of the products. The purpose was to prepare for the company's subsequent purchases and select marketable products.
Finally, he said, "We have also invited representatives from manufacturers to introduce their latest products. We have also specifically asked their technical leaders to come and introduce their products on stage."
As he spoke, he asked if the ghostwriters of several manufacturers had come to participate, but several people around Han loudly announced the names of their companies.
When she arrived at Zhening Company, Yu Xiaoli reported her name.
Manager Chen specifically asked, "Where's your R&D director? Is he here today?"
Yu Xiaoli pointed at Han Que beside her and said loudly, "Boss Han is the head of R&D of our company."
As soon as she said this, everyone in the front row turned around and looked at Han Que in surprise. For a moment, whispers and discussions were heard in the conference hall.
Manager Chen was also secretly surprised. He turned his head to look at Xu Chun who was sitting in the middle of the podium and saw that she was frowning.
He frowned slightly, but in public, he couldn't say anything, so he could only say, "Then I'll ask Mr. Han to come up and introduce your new product from a professional perspective."
The meeting proceeded item by item according to the established process, and the sales department was the first to speak.
Han listened attentively, taking notes on his memo from time to time.
This is a rare opportunity for her to understand the terminal market situation so broadly and deeply, which is a great opportunity for them.
Yu Xiaoli was also taking notes seriously. Her cell phone rang and she suddenly received a message. Yu Xiaoli took a look, frowned, and handed it to Han Que.
Han looked over and saw that it was a message sent to her by Manager Chen. She said with a bit of complaint, "I asked you to send a technician from the R&D department, why did you let President Han come in person?"
What he meant was that you all know the personal grudge between Han Que and Xu Chun.
Yu Xiaoli frowned and replied, "Boss Han is the head of the R&D department. She'll be the one to explain it most clearly."
Manager Chen did not respond.
Han glanced at Xu Chun, who was sitting next to him and staring at the projector screen, silent with a serious and indifferent expression.
She smiled inwardly, took her phone and sent a message to Yu Xiaoli: "Don't worry, I've been in charge of everything from research and development to production. I know Professor Tang's advice by heart, so don't worry."
Yu Xiaoli took a look, raised her head and met her gaze, and they smiled at each other.
The meeting came to the last item on the agenda, where manufacturers would introduce their new products. Zhang Qiang straightened his clothes, walked to the front of the stage with great enthusiasm, and began to introduce their products.
Han was also listening attentively. Nowadays, she seldom attends industry exchange meetings or goes to exhibitions. Her understanding of the market comes from reports submitted by the sales department.
She used to be uncomfortable with this approach. After all, she herself came from a sales background, so she knew the hidden tricks of salespeople when submitting such reports. They would describe products that sold well and had high performance commissions as the most popular and newest in the market, while those new products that represented advanced technologies and led the development of the industry were described as having low market acceptance.
She knew this practice all too well because she had done it herself.
Anyway, Gao Ye didn't take these things seriously at that time, or turned a blind eye to them. He himself got bonuses based on sales performance, so of course whatever the salesperson said was the truth.
But now that she is with Han Que, she will not be like this. After all, she is now half the boss lady, and Gu Ningwei's affairs are of course her affairs.
After the previous companies finished introducing themselves, Manager Chen named Zhening Company. He explained to Xu Chun, "For reasons we all know, their R&D department is temporarily in the charge of General Assistant Han. She will be the one introducing the products today."
Xu Chun stared at Han Que sharply, curled his lips, smiled faintly, and said lightly: "That's fine, Miss Han, tell us about it."
Han walked to the podium, smiling and about to speak, when she heard Xu Chun say, "I know your products were good before, but after your CEO Wang resigned, we still don't know how your company's R&D will perform. This is a good opportunity to listen to what Miss Han has to say."
As she spoke, she picked up the cup on the table, leaned back in her chair, lowered her head and drank the water slowly.
Han smiled slightly and nodded slightly to Xu Chun: "Thank you, Mr. Xu and Chunyi Company for giving us this opportunity."
She turned around and faced the crowd: "Manager Chen just said that our Zhening Company encountered some problems a while ago. Everyone here should know about it, so I won't go into details here."
The meeting hall was filled with whispers and discussions again.
Han ignored him and continued on the microphone, "But I still want to make one point. Chening's new R&D department is very dynamic and innovative. We've already developed three product lines, nearly twenty new products, and have conducted test sales in the market. The feedback has been very good..."
She paused, then added, "I'll show you this in the sales performance chart later. Now, let me introduce our products and the technical background behind them..."
She took out the USB drive she carried with her, opened the R&D document, and began to introduce it calmly.
Thick blackout curtains were drawn in the conference room, and the projection screen was flashing with a faint cold light. Han was wearing a moon-white dress, like a white jade bottle, crystal clear as jade.
