The Spring Festival of 1996 came a little late.
With one month to go before Chinese New Year's Eve, under Lin Dong's leadership, preparations have begun in earnest for the first chain store in Wanqi Home Appliances' expansion into the north.
On January 28th, the first new store will hold a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony and opening promotion.
First stop, Han City, Hubei Province.
The reason for choosing Wuhan as the location for the first store is that it is the central hub of China, a crossroads of nine provinces, and a strategic location that is fiercely contested by military and commercial forces.
By seizing the home appliance market in Wuhan, and then using that market to expand nationwide, the synergistic effect can be maximized.
Another deeper reason is that in his previous life, Lin Dong did business and lived in Wuhan for 5 years.
He has a certain understanding of the city's business atmosphere, network of connections, and both legitimate and illegitimate activities.
In order to make a strong start as general manager, Lin Dong sent out half of the core staff of the home appliance division.
The person in charge of developing the Han City project was Ma Baorong.
With Lin Dong's support, Ma Baorong rose from a business department supervisor to the manager of the home appliance division.
To accomplish great things, you need to employ capable people.
But there is one more crucial point: you must cultivate your own team. Having experienced various forms of hardship in his previous life, Lin Dong deeply understands this.
...
After arranging the company's work, it was already past 1 p.m.
Lin Dong didn't forget his promise to Sun Jialu yesterday. He said goodbye to his secretary, Xiao Lin, and then drove away from the company.
I have to say, being a general manager is a great job of freedom; nobody cares about you.
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Dong went into a mountaineering equipment store halfway through his journey and bought a bundle of professional climbing rope and a grappling hook.
Then, he went into a clothing store and bought two sets of pure black bodysuits, two black felt hats that could cover his mouth and nose, and three pairs of black thin cotton gloves.
With everything prepared, Lin Dong leisurely drove towards the Marriott Villa.
...
This time, driving into the Marriott Resort, Lin Dong finally understood what it meant to feel at home.
The security guards at the gate not only addressed him respectfully as "Mr. Lin," but also saluted him warmly.
Hearing a heartfelt "Welcome home, Mr. Lin!", Lin Dong felt a surge of pride that this house was definitely worth the money.
Back at Villa No. 98, Lin Dong parked his car in the garage before going up to the third-floor terrace.
The spacious terrace had been furnished with two white beach chairs and an elegant round glass table.
On the clean table, there was a bouquet of fresh flowers, two plates of fruit, and an elegant ashtray.
Seeing all this, Lin Dong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled knowingly. This Sun Jialu was quite thoughtful, after all.
I gave her the spare key before leaving yesterday so she could find someone to clean the villa. Little did I know, this would bring an unexpected surprise.
Lin Dong never hesitated to praise his shrewd and capable female subordinates.
Moreover, she is beautiful and has a pure and innocent temperament.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Dong leaned back in a beach chair, leisurely basking in the sun, occasionally picking up a grape and savoring it.
A series of light footsteps came from behind; it must be Sun Jialu who had arrived.
"Mr. Lin."
"Is everything done?"
"It's all done. We've received the list of homeowners. Please take a look."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong immediately perked up and took the file folder that Sun Jialu handed him.
Opening the document bag revealed five pages of densely printed detailed information about every resident of Marriott Villa:
This includes name, date of birth, occupation, villa number, telephone number, pager number, and even hobbies...
This is the task Lin Dong gave Sun Jialu yesterday. If she completes it, she will be officially admitted.
This girl is actually quite capable; she's not just a pretty face with no substance.
Lin Dong's eyes quickly scanned the list of homeowners, and when he turned to the second page, he finally spotted Wan Qingshan's name.
[Owner of Villa No. 32: Wan Qingshan, male, born May 3, 1950, owner of Wanqi Trading Company, villa type: Haotingyuan...]
Boss Wan's secret to making money is indeed here!
Just as Lin Dong predicted, the villa unit that Boss Wan bought was indeed the largest luxury courtyard unit.
In other words, the study where he is most suitable to collect black gold is right next to the third-floor terrace. Lin Dong only needs to find a way to get onto the terrace, without having to go inside, and the transformation of black gold will be completed.
I wonder if the security at Villa No. 32 is tight? Hmm, I'll have to scout it out beforehand.
"Great, you've been accepted."
Lin Dong put away the list of homeowners, looked at Sun Jialu with appreciation, and smiled.
"Really? That's wonderful, Mr. Lin! I'll definitely do my best and won't let you down!"
"I hope so. Go back and complete your resignation procedures today, and you can officially start work tomorrow. Your monthly salary is 5,000, and there will be extra bonuses if you do well. Any questions?"
"5000?"
Sun Jialu could hardly believe her ears. The basic salary for a real estate salesperson was only 400 yuan, and the bonus for new employees was not high, totaling just over 1,000 yuan.
This sudden increase in income, several times over, wouldn't make her ecstatic?
Moreover, based on her intuition, she knew that following Lin Dong would bring her more than just a mere 5,000 yuan in salary.
Sun Jialu's beautiful eyes welled up with tears, and she cried with excitement, knowing that her father would no longer have to worry about his monthly medical and dialysis expenses.
She no longer had to suppress her disgust and deal with that greasy, middle-aged fat man.
