The next morning.
Hu Xiaoman arrived at the office with his bag and was immediately notified to attend a meeting.
This is the first time it’s so urgent. Usually the meetings are held after 8:30.
The meeting is only at 8 o'clock today, it seems like something big is going on.
Thinking of this, she took her notebook and followed Director Jin to the conference room upstairs.
When the two men arrived at the conference room, several people were already in the room.
She found a place to sit and looked at the others.
Not long after, people came into the room one after another.
It seems that they were all notified to attend the meeting at the last minute, and they were all in a hurry.
Hu Xiaoman watched as Director Chen and Director Ren came in from behind, and the door of the conference room was closed.
"I called everyone here today to discuss two things." Director Chen looked around and said, "First, we must increase the factory's orders this year and complete the task! I don't need to elaborate on this. If it weren't for the new products by the end of the year, we wouldn't have completed this task!"
"The second thing is, the C-level official will come for an inspection this month. All departments should make their own preparations. Don't let the C-level official want to see you and be unprepared for anything."
"If something like this really happens, your person in charge can pack up and get out of here!"
Although Director Chen is young, he is decisive and efficient in his actions. He always insists on doing things well and quickly.
When the others saw Director Chen, they didn't dare to neglect him, and they listened to his words.
Next was the routine meeting work. After the meeting, Hu Xiaoman walked out and returned to the office with Director Jin.
Director Jin followed her over and said, "Director Hu, what do you think?"
"What are you thinking?" Hu Xiaoman looked at him puzzled, not understanding what he was saying.
Director Jin thought for a moment and said, "The factory director just mentioned that we need to increase orders."
Hearing this, Hu Xiaoman glanced at him but didn't understand what he meant. "This should be the sales department's job. We are responsible for import and export. There are no orders right now. I don't quite understand what Director Jin means."
I really don’t understand. I don’t understand what this means.
Director Jin's face was serious. He said, "Do you think the factory director is targeting our department? Since you came, there haven't been many orders. We've been pretty much idle."
It has been almost half a year and there has been no business, mainly because there are no orders.
It’s not like they haven’t contacted us, but even if they did, there were no orders. It’s not like they didn’t try hard.
Hu Xiaoman thought about it and knew the reason. It was not that these people did not want to work hard, but that there were really no orders for them.
She nodded and agreed with Director Jin.
She said, "What you said is not entirely unreasonable, but importing and exporting is not that easy these days. Earning foreign exchange is not easy either."
This is indeed the case. In recent years, domestic production has only been self-sufficient, and foreigners are unwilling to buy our exports.
Therefore, it is not easy to make money from foreign exchange. If you want to get some big orders in this department, forget it.
Director Jin also understood this, and neither of them spoke for a while.
But if there are no orders, that won’t do either. The factory manager has already spoken and is dissatisfied. If no action is taken, he will definitely criticize me by name.
But after thinking about it, neither of them had any good ideas.
Finally, after get off work, Hu Xiaoman left with his backpack.
After returning home, she ate first, then sat in a chair and thought about what happened today.
Although Director Chen may not be really ordering them, but since he said so, the import and export side, which has not had any orders for half a year, must also make an effort.
Hu Xiaoman thought about it and realized that he had spent all his foreign exchange in Beijing. If he wanted to find a solution, he could only take the initiative to look for business abroad.
But going abroad is not an easy thing now, not to mention having experience of going abroad, otherwise it will become a handle for you in a few months.
The current situation is a dilemma and she has no better solution.
I can't pay for it out of my own pocket, right?
Two days later, Hu Xiaoman came to Director Chen's office.
Director Chen was still busy because he had just finished his morning routine meeting.
Seeing that it was Hu Xiaoman, he asked her to sit next to him and wait for a while.
After more than ten minutes, Director Chen stood up and walked over and asked, "Director Hu, what's going on?"
As he spoke, he asked his secretary to pour two glasses of water.
Hu Xiaoman smiled and said, "That's right, Director Chen. I've been thinking about the lack of orders for import and export trade over the past six months, so I'd like to go to Haicheng Port and have a look."
"If we can find the order, that's good. If we can't, we won't lose anything."
Upon hearing this, Director Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she would actually suggest looking for orders.
After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "That's fine. If you think this method is feasible, go ahead and try it. Who do you want to send?"
"I'll go!" Hu Xiaoman said seriously, "I thought about it and those newcomers are not good enough. I'll go and take a look first. If they don't work, I'll let Director Jin go."
She thought about it for a long time and decided that it would be safer to go by herself, because Director Jin was a bit rigid and a newcomer had no experience, so it would be impossible for her to find orders even if she went.
Director Chen nodded. "Okay, I'll give you a call. Is a month enough?"
Hu Xiaoman thought about it and felt that it was enough, so he replied: "Then I will go on a business trip tomorrow. I will call the factory if I have any details."
After the two of them finished their discussion, Hu Xiaoman returned to the office.
I have to talk to Director Jin about this. After all, we are in the same department and we are all directors. I can't just act on my own and say nothing.
Director Jin was a little surprised to hear her words, but after thinking about it, he realized that there was really no better solution.
"You decide. I don't have any better idea." He knew Hu Xiaoman was daring. Back then, when he was in the Soviet Union, he ran outside alone for a whole day and was not scared to death.
But after these few years, it is obvious that he has become more stable.
And since you can speak foreign languages, you don't have to worry about that.
Hu Xiaoman sighed and said, "Director Jin, I have no choice. Whether it works or not, we're going to try our best this time. Don't get angry. Even if this department doesn't work out, the most we can do is merge it with the purchasing department."
She had also considered this. If trade was banned in a few months, this department would definitely have to be disbanded. Where would these people go? It would definitely go to the purchasing department.
So there is no need to worry too much. You will still be in the factory in the future, just in a different department.
Director Jin nodded, though he felt a little reluctant. If they really didn't achieve anything significant, the department would surely disband.
After the two of them finished speaking, they didn't tell the other two officials.
Because things haven't reached that stage yet, we'll have to wait until Hu Xiaoman comes back to find out the specific situation.
There's no point in saying it now, it will only make the two of them worried.
