After saying this, Guan Qilin looked apologetic and apologized to him.
Xu Xiangyang was truly astonished this time. What was this person doing now?
What does this mean?
She clearly looked down on him before, and even spoke ill of him in various ways.
This is the attitude they've adopted now; it's truly baffling. Just for a single order of a few hundred pieces of clothing? That's impossible!
That's definitely not it...
Guan Qilin continued, "I asked you about the problem before because I wanted to see what solutions you would come up with. Your approach surprised me. I didn't expect you to personally go and negotiate so much."
His words came from the bottom of his heart. For someone as young as Xu Xiangyang, once he reached this position, it would be very difficult for him to lower himself to do business that involved skipping orders.
After all, everyone in the factory has their own role, and the factory manager also needs to save face, so he has a lot to do.
Xu Xiangyang smiled, surprised that this person was actually quite capable of admitting and correcting his mistakes. He had originally thought they wouldn't have a friendly conversation, but now they were sitting together peacefully.
He said, "Director Guan, you don't need to apologize. I can understand your actions. After all, you're quite old, and it's normal for you to lack experience. It's understandable that you would doubt my abilities."
Understanding doesn't mean agreeing.
He knew that a person's ability was not determined by age, but by their problem-solving skills and adaptability when faced with problems.
Clearly, Guan Qilin agreed with him.
However, this doesn't excuse his previous actions; everyone has a temper, right?
However, for the sake of the factory's interests, he could get along well with Guan Qilin.
It only applies to things done at the factory.
Guan Qilin smiled and nodded, "As long as you're not angry, I'll help you with these things."
He knew that this one deal wouldn't be the end; it was just the beginning.
Garment factories cannot operate on just these orders; they need more collaborations.
Xu Xiangyang looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
The conversation between the two ended in just over twenty minutes.
After everyone left, he got up to tidy up his documents and then glanced at the time.
It's already noon, so even if we go out, we'll have to wait again.
This time of day is lunchtime, regardless of which workplace you're in.
He went to the cafeteria for lunch, just like everyone else.
On the other side, Guan Chunying looked at her father in confusion, "Dad, why did you agree? He hadn't agreed to my design before."
When she learned about this from Director Lin, she rushed over to ask Guan Qilin.
She's still upset about what happened last time. Although she understands the reasoning behind it, she just can't swallow her anger.
Guan Qilin glanced at the person opposite him, smiled indulgently, and said, "Xiaoying, your previous design drawings had problems to begin with. Of course, it's not that you're incompetent, but that people nowadays can't accept it. If this were placed elsewhere, it would definitely be produced."
He knew his daughter's temper; he could never argue with her, he had to go along with her.
Guan Chunying calmed down and sat down next to him with a pout, "That's right, it will look just as good when I take it out again!"
She had been preparing this design for a long time; if it weren't for the amount of time and effort it took, she would have torn it up!
Guan Qilin sighed, "Xiaoying, you need to study hard. I think the design drawings that Director Xu brought out are very good; he must have designed them himself."
Although he doesn't understand these things very well, his perspective has been influenced by his children, so he has some understanding of design.
Guan Chunying blinked but didn't say anything. She had also seen the picture, and it was indeed very good, but of course, just good.
After all, things were too conservative back then, what could possibly be interesting? Her own drawings are much better!
...
Over the next few days, Xu Xiangyang used that method to purchase a total of 2,500 pieces of ready-made clothing from other department stores.
This incident made him infamous in the factory.
It's not because he's capable, it's because he's really amazing!
The factory has people who specialize in negotiating business; they're professionals, but none of them managed to close any deals.
Then look at Director Xu, he just ordered three thousand pieces of ready-made clothing!
It's a bit of a shame, though, that I won't get any commission.
The factory offers commissions for every deal made, though not much, but for someone like Xu Xiangyang who has secured so many deals, the commission is quite substantial.
You could say that if someone from the working class pulls off this job, they can go two months without having to go to work.
"Director Xu," Liang Wenfang said, standing beside him, "Director Wang from the factory said he wants to give you a commission."
Xu Xiangyang looked up at her, completely bewildered. "Give me a commission?"
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you giving me a commission! Isn't this ridiculous?"
He certainly knew what the commission meant; it was about the previous orders.
However, it's perfectly normal for a factory director to negotiate business deals for the benefit of the factory.
If someone were to take this money out of thin air, that would be the mark of a fool!
Liang Wenfang knew about his situation and, after thinking for a moment, said, "I also think it's not a good idea."
It's not only bad, it needs to be dealt with seriously.
Xu Xiangyang said, "Tell Director Wang not to mention this matter anymore. As a member of the factory, what I did was what I should do."
Of course, it's also because he himself doesn't value that kind of money.
With such a large and prosperous business, how could we be short of such a small amount of money?
Liang Wenfang nodded, then went out and spoke to Wang Qin.
In the afternoon, Wang Qin sat in her office, looking at the young people below her.
The reason they can't close deals is because they're all too young. They're too shy to swallow their pride and try to get orders.
If they had a little more shamelessness, their performance wouldn't be this bad.
"Director Xu said that as a member of the factory, this is what we should do! Even the factory director is humbling himself to sign orders, what about us?"
With a look of utter heartache, she continued, "We haven't even secured half of their orders! Don't think they only got so many orders because of Director Xu's influence."
"If this trick works, then all the garments in Xincheng will be from our factory, right? So, you need to see this clearly and work hard so as not to hold Director Xu back! You're all about the same age, and Director Xu is only in his twenties."
His words left the others looking ashamed!
Yes, Director Xu is also a young man in his twenties. He's already a factory director, and he can still swallow his pride to sign contracts. So what can't they do to work hard?
"Director Wang! Don't worry, I will do my best! I'll go to the commune down there now and take another look!" A young man said resolutely, then turned and left.
Others also expressed their determination to be good young people and quickly got to work.
Wang Qin smiled, her expression one of satisfaction.
That's right, everything she did and said was to provoke these young people.
If everyone puts on airs and refuses to discuss business, then who will provide business for the entire factory?
Do we have to rely on Xu Xiangyang for everything?
Don't people need to work? There are many jobs in the factory, are they all supposed to be managed?
So she came up with this idea to provoke these young people.
I didn't expect it to work so well!
