Chapter 36: Going upstream and taking the narrow gate
Before coming here, she knew in her heart that even with the golden plug-in, she would not be able to do whatever she wants in the 1980s.
In the final analysis, she did not consider herself as a lucky person who was fed cakes by the legendary success theory: full of glamour, invulnerable, rich, and stylish...
She only knew that no matter how ambitious she was, nothing could be accomplished overnight.
The important thing is that she is open-minded and is not afraid of failure.
Don't blame others, don't be afraid, and don't blame yourself.
The main point is that where you fall, you should lie down there for a while.
It’s okay if you fall. Just take a break. You can start again tomorrow.
What's more, the more problems you encounter now, the more experience you will gain.
Although Ma Yongfeng did not mention purchasing, these few suggestions benefited her more than direct purchasing.
The purchasing threshold of large shopping malls is high, and it is difficult to obtain, but it does not mean that it is impossible to obtain it.
The road less traveled is more likely to succeed, and a business with a high enough threshold is a truly good business.
Go upstream and take the narrow gate.
This is very similar to when she chose her department.
Most of the medical students who graduated at the same time chose departments such as general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and dentistry, which offer both fame and fortune and immediate results.
However, she chose plastic surgery, which was relatively unpopular at the time and had high surgical requirements and great risks.
You have to know that when she just graduated, plastic surgery was just a niche department that treated burn scars, and many hospitals didn't even have a plastic surgery department.
Even the few hospitals that have this department are only outpatient clinics and don't even have wards.
However, with people's increasing demand for medical beauty, this industry is becoming more and more popular.
Cosmetic injections, double eyelid surgery and other micro-adjustment projects have become entry-level medical beauty projects for many people.
And as the medical beauty industry becomes more and more standardized, people are beginning to prefer looking for professionals.
Going to the hospital's plastic surgery department to find a professional doctor was of course their first choice! Naturally, plastic surgery became the most popular department in the hospital before rebirth.
In terms of work intensity, plastic surgery is lower than many departments.
You can even sleep peacefully when working the night shift, there are relatively few inpatients, and surgeries are mostly by appointment.
Plastic surgery became a hot topic in the hospital before rebirth.
Therefore, a high threshold may just mean that those who find it difficult to overcome are kept out, thus blocking the entry of potential competitors.
It is precisely because others do not want to or cannot reach it that you can become the leader.
What's more, there is a hidden meaning behind what Manager Ma said...
If her snack production can be regularized, maybe she will really receive a large formal purchase order in the future!
Not only was she not disappointed, she was even a little excited.
Su Xiaoli smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Thank you so much. I really benefited a lot from your advice."
Ma Yongfeng saw that she was not angry at all, but understood the deeper meaning that he had not said clearly. She was not simple at such a young age...
He couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoli differently.
"That's all right, as long as you understand. Don't be so rude, just call me by my name."
Su Xiaoli smiled even more enthusiastically and immediately climbed up the pole.
"Brother Ma, I've made note of what you said. Thank you for today. I'll come back when I'm ready!"
After Su Xiaoli left the door, the young buyer on the side stared at her back in a daze until Ma Yongfeng stuffed an amber walnut into his mouth, and then he came to his senses.
Ma Yongfeng laughed and scolded: "Why, are you stunned?"
The young buyer felt a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly while chewing walnuts.
"Brother Ma, you said a lot today."
If we met someone trying to sell something under normal circumstances, our manager Ma would probably ignore him and just kick him out!
Everyone said that the salesperson job in the 1980s was like a stable job and was particularly popular.
But what everyone doesn’t know is that the purchasing manager is the real “golden rice bowl”.
The salary is generous and guaranteed, and the bosses of the supply factories and material companies will pay you a high price! Ma Yongfeng raised his eyebrows and thought, you know nothing! There are few active people these days.
But the little girl looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed so simply, and carried a tattered basket, yet she dared to come to a big shopping mall to sell things.
With the courage to pick up a knife and mount a horse, how many people can compare to her? Just one look and you can tell that the girl's family is not well off.
Otherwise, with her appearance, if her family had some connections, she wouldn't be selling her products everywhere in such hot weather.
Working as a factory worker, a waitress in a hotel, or an office worker in a company, which one would not be better than now? With such a beautiful face, polite words, and the willingness to use one's brain when doing things, plus the demeanor of being reasonable even if rejected...
I believe that your future achievements will be great.
Don’t look down on the young because they are poor.
Ma Yongfeng has developed a pair of sharp eyes through years of purchasing experience, and he can see through Su Xiaoli almost perfectly.
However, Su Xiaoli had no idea what he was thinking. At this moment, she was immersed in the joy of having chosen the right path forward.
She returned to the first floor of the mall with a smile on her face, and just happened to meet Gu Feihan who had just returned from the toilet.
Seeing that she was so happy, Gu Feihan thought that the matter was settled.
Unexpectedly, after Su Xiaoli's explanation, it turned out that the deal was not concluded at all! Gu Feihan was slightly stunned.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he realized that Su Xiaoli was not joking or trying to fool him, but had really sorted out her thoughts on the matter and locked on a small goal.
Gu Feihan looked at her deeply, chuckled and asked no more questions, then followed her to the next shopping mall.
In the second shopping mall, Su Xiaoli did not look for the purchasing manager again, but walked around slowly and observed carefully.
When they entered the third shopping mall, Xiangjiang Department Store, as soon as they walked into the lobby, they saw a circle of people gathered at the front counter.
There were three layers of people inside and outside, and it was packed with people. There was a faint sound of noise coming from the room.
I saw a young woman with heavy makeup banging on the counter and complaining about something in broken Chinese.
“——Revitalizing (skin) cream——the fineness is (fake)!”
The young man next to her advised in Country C's native language: "Xiangli, don't be rude. If you have something to say, talk nicely."
The saleswoman at the counter looked aggrieved and said anxiously, "This skin cream is obviously produced by a regular manufacturer. Why do you say it's a fake?!"
The girl named "Xiangli" refused to give in.
"Look at my face! Ever since I used this, I've been getting acne. And you still say it's fake?"
Under Xiangli's heavy makeup, her face was oily, her pores were large, and she had many red and swollen pimples.
Her arrogant look really irritated the salesperson.
The young saleswoman came from a well-off family and was pretty, and had never been humiliated like this since she was a child.
Who can bear this kind of humiliation? !
"Have some shame! You have acne on your face, what does it have to do with our skin cream? It's definitely not the skin cream's fault! Forget about returning the product and paying for it, we won't give you a penny!"
The furious salesperson fired back with all his might.
The collection is about to break 500! The author thanks all the book friends~ I am in tears...
