Jiang Xiaoli looked at Wei Dong, then at Zong Jiayu, and said, "Okay, then I'll call my mom."
Wei Dong paused for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha, hit me, hit me! Little Pear, after working with you, I really forget your real age."
She chuckled, "Uncle Wei, it's good to forget about it. In business matters, we don't look at age or seniority, we only look at whether it's beneficial to the company and factory's development."
"That's absolutely right! Okay, hurry up and make the call. I specifically told my family that I was going to take you all home for dinner, and they should be ready by now," Wei Dong urged.
Jiang Xiaoli turned around, picked up Zong Jiayu's office phone, and dialed Wang Dama's convenience store.
"Aunt Wang, this is Xiaoli. Could you please call my mom for me?"
A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Haha, no need to call her, she's right here waiting!"
Li Guizhi answered the phone, "Xiaoli, this is your mother."
"Mom, I won't be going home for lunch. We'll eat at Uncle Wei's house," she informed him.
Li Guizhi smiled and replied, "I thought you wouldn't be back for dinner today because you're busy, so I waited here for you. Go ahead, be polite at your Uncle Wei's house. If you finish late this afternoon, ask Xiao Zong to take you back, or call me and I'll pick you up, okay?"
Although the person on the other end couldn't see her, Jiang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I understand, Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After hanging up the phone, she and Zong Jia went to Wei Dong's house for dinner.
Wei Dong and his grandfather don't live together. "My dad and mom prefer quiet, and this little rascal of mine is too noisy!"
Wei Dong's wife, Wu Nan, greeted them with a smile, "Oh my, these must be Xiao Li and Xiao Zong. My husband has been talking about you two all the time lately!"
The two greeted her politely, and Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Auntie, we've come to freeload a meal."
"Haha, I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. I'm so happy to finally have the chance today. Please don't mind my cooking skills, they're just so-so." Wu Nan led the two to the dining table.
Wei Dong pulled a boy out of the inner room. "This kid is my son, Wei Jiaqi. He's in the second year of junior high school. As soon as he gets home from school, he hides in his room reading those martial arts novels! It drives me crazy!"
"Oh? Which book are you reading?" Jiang Xiaoli asked curiously.
Wei Jiaqi pouted and glanced at him, reluctantly saying, "You've read 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'?"
She chuckled, "Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sect, right?"
Only then did Wei Jiaqi look at her seriously. "You really watched it? That's great. Tell me, who do you think is more powerful, Zuo Lengchan or Yue Buqun?"
"Slap!" Wei Dong slapped Wei Jiaqi on the back. "You've gone mad from reading novels all day! You discuss them with everyone you meet. Be careful, or I'll burn all your miscellaneous books!"
Wei Jiaqi, who had experienced domestic violence, shrugged at Jiang Xiaoli, as if he was already used to it.
Wu Nan tugged at Wei Dong sheepishly, "Xiao Li and Xiao Zong are here, why are you hitting the child?"
Wei Dong waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing. Xiao Li and Xiao Zong are like family. Wei Jiaqi, you really should learn from your sister Xiao Li and brother Xiao Zong. They are good at everything, from learning to doing business to all you do. You just read novels all day long, and you're only in the second year of junior high school but your glasses prescription is already 400. I think you're going to become a demon!"
Zong Jia quickly pulled Wei Dong to sit down, "Uncle Wei, let's eat first. My mouth is watering just looking at all this food."
Seeing that his father had finally stopped roaring, Wei Jiaqi made a face at Jiang Xiaoli.
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and put some food on his plate. She understood Wei Jiaqi very well. What children hate most is when their parents talk about how outstanding other children are, let alone when Wei Dong invites them to his house for dinner.
Wei Dong looked at the two of them and asked, "Xiao Zong, you said you'd introduce a salesperson last time, who is it?"
Zong Jia smiled and said, "He's a brother of mine who runs a spicy snack business with me and Xiao Li. We're about to shut down our business, and I thought he knew a lot about spicy snack sales, so I asked him to come and lead a team."
"That's great! Now we have someone who has done it before, someone who can set an example for everyone!" Wei Dong was very satisfied.
After finishing their meal, the three of them met Dafu at the factory gate. He was helping the workers change the signboard.
Zong Jiayu assigned this task to Secretary Zhang this morning. He was very efficient and has now changed it with just one word left.
Jiang Xiaoli was overjoyed when she saw the brand-new storefront.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Zong Jiayu, "You're really quick!"
Zong Jia smiled slightly, "Since President Jiang has given the order, of course I have to be proactive."
Dafu handed the sign with the last character to the worker above, then walked over to the group and asked, "Am I not too late?"
Jiang Xiaoli said with a grin, "Not only is it not late, but it also took care of the important matter of changing the signboard for our factory!"
"Haha, I was just helping out casually." Dafu chuckled and patted the dust off his hands.
Zong Jia pointed to Dafu and introduced him to Wei Dong, "Uncle Wei, this is the brother I was just talking about."
Upon hearing this, Dafu wiped his hands on his clothes again before reaching out. "Director Wei, hello. My name is Fu Yunliang. You can just call me Dafu."
Wei Dong grasped his hand. "Welcome to join us!"
When the group arrived at the conference room, all the workers assigned to the sales department were already there.
Zong Jiayu called out the names from the roster, and Jiang Xiaoli turned on the microphone.
Good afternoon, everyone. Did you all receive your salaries this morning?
The audience members all wore expressions of joy, and they answered in unison, "We received them!"
She smiled and nodded, "It's good that you received it. What I want to tell everyone is that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this should be the lowest amount of salary you'll ever receive in the future!"
Now I'd like to introduce our sales department to you.
I believe everyone now has a better understanding of our current economic environment. Fengqing Canned Food Factory used to be so prosperous, but it gradually declined due to a lack of orders.
The old model of factories waiting for orders at home or having managers go out to negotiate orders is no longer viable.
We need to take the initiative to go out! By "go out," I don't mean having everyone carry a bag and push a cart to sell their wares.
What we need to do is to open up channels. For example, this Comrade Fu Yunliang, our spicy strips can be sold in several supermarkets such as Lelego in Xijing, which is the result of him promoting them to the supermarket managers.
Many people might think that it's too difficult to promote products in supermarkets, and that supermarket managers wouldn't want to meet with them.
It's okay. Besides large supermarkets, there are tens of thousands of small shops and convenience stores across the country. These private business owners are easy to communicate with.
To give an example from my own experience, in the early stages of promoting spicy strips, I visited ten convenience stores in just one morning.
I believe that after the subsequent sales training, as long as everyone is willing to go out and speak up, the sales figures and commissions will be yours!
