Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 707 Award Ceremony
I am very curious about the green home appliances Mr. Huang talked about, because I have never heard of it. I know this concept, but I thought it was just a concept.

Energy saving is the most basic requirement for all home appliances. Energy saving and environmental protection have indeed been proposed for many years, but no one cares about it at all.

Ordinary people will not pay for environmental protection. If you want to talk about energy saving alone, you will think about it. It is just a consideration. You have to say that it is a high-power, power-hungry home appliance, such as our air conditioner, electric heater, and others. I think most people don't care much.Similar to TVs and refrigerators, I don't think many people care about their power consumption, let alone fans, microwave ovens, and range hoods.

I am very interested in this new concept proposed by Huang Gong. I would like to know what other requirements are there besides energy saving to meet the conditions of green home appliances?
Huang Gong continued: "What I want to remind everyone is that in the near future, we will soon see international indicators and standards for green home appliances. Our products can only be exported if they meet international standards. Therefore, I suggest that everyone Manufacturers should also start preparations, research and development, and strive for every product they make in the future to meet the standards of green home appliances. Don’t wait until then, the country will be one size fits all, and if you can’t produce it, it will be too late!”

Believe Huang Gong's words, it's definitely not scaremongering, groundless rumors, I didn't turn my head, and said to Ai Wen in a low voice: "You should check as soon as possible, foreign news about green home appliances, and see if it is true as Huang Gong said, if Yes, we have to study it when we go back, this matter is urgent!"

Ai Wen hummed and said, "Okay, I see!"

After Huang Gong finished speaking, Bai Xiaocheng looked at everyone who was discussing and said: "The situation Huang Gong has made very clear, and the specific way to do it is up to everyone to decide! Next, let me talk about a personal proposal of mine. At present, every industry has its own industry associations, many of which are already very large, but our home appliance industry has not yet had a unified association organization. Although the country has no mandatory regulations, I feel that there is no rule. Having an association will avoid a lot of vicious competition, and the most important thing is that it can improve the industry standard. The benefits are obvious, and everyone knows it even if I don’t say it. If it can’t be done, it depends on everyone’s opinion! Mr. Chen, you can talk about it first!”

I didn't expect that he would name me by name, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Bai must have good intentions. I personally agree with Mr. Bai's suggestion very much, and I think it is necessary. As long as it is for Hello, I will fully support the association!"

Bai Xiaocheng said with a smile: "Haha, thank you Mr. Chen for your support. Then Mr. Dongfang of Yingke, what do you mean?"

Dongfang Miracle straightened his tie and said with a smile: "I only have my ears on this time. I just took office not long ago, and many things are still unclear. I will convey the meaning of the meeting to Mr. He. As for how to decide, we have to decide." See what Boss He means!"

Bai Xiaocheng said a little dissatisfied: "Do you Yingke have any opinions on this conference? Why didn't you Mr. He come? Since you are here, can you represent Yingke? If not, why don't you come?" What's the use of coming?"

Dongfang Miracle frowned, and said playfully: "Just because I can represent Yingke, doesn't mean I will agree to your suggestion! To put it bluntly, didn't it happen before? It turned out to be a farce. Our peers have caused huge losses, and many consumers have lost confidence in us. Therefore, this time, Yingke must be cautious, cautious, and cautious. Besides, I did not say that I disagree, I just want to discuss it with Mr. He! "

Bai Xiaocheng didn't know how to answer for a while, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "What about Mr. Zhang from Seagull, what's your opinion?"

Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "This suggestion is good, but the details must be more rigorous, and the problems of the last time cannot recur. Otherwise, the industry will really not be convincing in the future!"

Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly said: "That's, that's, we must be cautious about this, and I want to find the most authoritative person in the industry to come out and organize, so that everyone can be satisfied, make zero mistakes, and be fair and just. this person……"

I thought it would be me, but who knows, Bai Xiaocheng said: "This person is Dong Zong!"

I froze for a moment, when he said Dong Zong, I thought I had heard it wrong, until he confirmed it again, I heard it was really Dong Zong.

Now everyone nodded silently, and no one had any more disputes.

Bai Xiaosheng went on to say: "In addition, Mr. Wu and Huang Gong will also participate in it. The three of them will form the organizing committee, elect the members of the organizing committee of the association, and promulgate corresponding industry norms at the same time. After the industry norms are promulgated, they will pass All members of the association voted to pass, not forced to pass, as long as they are members of the industry, they can vote and have the right to express their opinions!"

I didn't listen carefully to what was said later, and kept repeating a question, why did President Dong agree to come out and organize this association?Why didn't she get angry with me before?Is there anything you need to hide from me?

Finally, the meeting ended with a burst of applause.

Back in the room, I immediately took out my cell phone and called Mr. Dong.

After ringing for a long time, Mr. Dong took a long time to answer the phone. Before I asked her, she asked, "Did you just finish the meeting? You know everything?"

I hummed and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that Jinpan washed his hands? Why is he here again? I don't even want to participate. If possible, I don't even want to join this association! You Now that I am an organizer, what should I do?"

Dong Zong sighed and said: "When you are in the Jianghu, there is no day when Jinpan washes his hands. I can't help it. I will explain the details to you when you come back!"

I hummed, knowing that she must have her own difficulties, so I didn't say anything more.

In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just joining an association, and it's not as serious as I thought.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the awards ceremony began, and we arrived at the awards hall on time. My seat was arranged in the first row. On my left was Mr. Zhang from Seagull, and on my right was Mr. Wu who had the meeting today. Mr. Wu was more enthusiastic than Mr. Zhang. He held my hand and said, "It's been a while since I saw you!"

I asked curiously: "We seem to have only met once, right? I remember it was at the symposium of the Ministry of Industry, which was hosted by the elder brother...Minister Sun!"

Old Wu smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, I mean I seldom see you on the news recently! You have become a lot more low-key!"

I sighed and said, "I've always kept a low profile? You must have misunderstood me, right?"

Mr. Wu nodded at me and said, "Misunderstanding? No way? I've never been interested in entertainment news, but I'm more concerned about financial news! Not only has the shareholding of Wanzhong changed a lot in the past few years, but the management has also changed constantly. Ah, it's not easy for you to take the helm!"

I smiled and said, "Mr. Wu seems to be very concerned about our internal affairs?"

Mr. Wu said with a smile: "I don't care about it, but I still have high hopes for companies in the home appliance industry. Especially for companies like Wanzhong, the country has always encouraged independent brands to go out and step onto the international stage. Wanzhong is The most promising company to stand on the international stage! Of course I have to pay attention, not only to the operating conditions of your company, but also to the sales of your products and market share. Of course, I also have to pay attention to the status of your management. Especially you, you decide the future direction of Wanzhong, the direction of future development, and whether Wanzhong can go on steadily depends to a large extent on your decision!"

I was startled. I don’t understand why a technical person engaged in scientific research is so interested in us Wanzhong. It seems that he wants to make Wanzhong stronger and bigger than me. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?
So he said perfunctorily: "Wu Laotai values ​​me too much. I am far less important than you think. The current Wanzhong is different from the Wanzhong in the former Dong Zong era. Wanzhong has its own unique system, and it is not a certain person. Deciding and changing something. Therefore, my news does not represent the news of Wanzhong, even if I have any scandals, it is only my personal matter, and it will not affect any operation of Wanzhong at all!"

Elder Wu said meaningfully: "I hope, I hope!"

Mr. Zhang touched me and reminded: "It's started!"

The first award to be issued is China's top ten home appliance brands of the year. As the first award-winning brand, Wanzhong, I took the stage to accept the award.

While explaining the selection criteria, the host introduced the award presenters. As the product with the highest consumer vote rate, the most stable quality and the highest market share, Wanzhong won this award without dispute.

I took the trophy from the award presenter, raised it high, stood on the stage, and said: "Thank you to the organizing committee for presenting this award to Wanzhong, and thank you to every consumer who loves the brand Wanzhong, thank you Your trust and support for Wanzhong. In the future, Wanzhong will be a high-tech home appliance company. Our Wanzhong aims to serve the people and consumers, and is determined to develop new products in the new era, so as to strive for excellence. Thanks again Everyone!"

Next was Mr. Zhang from Seagull. To my surprise, Lu Ping from Lotte also took the stage to accept the award, and she also won the award.

I don't quite understand this. Although Lotte is a famous brand, compared with many brands, Lotte is indeed not ranked high. But this selection should be relatively fair and just. What kind of tricks does Lu Ping want to do? If it is, it is really difficult. If Letian can do something, Yingke would have done it long ago!

I searched around the scene, but I didn't see He Dong and Yingke people, which made me feel strange.

Afterwards, there will be awards for inspection-free products and a system of awards.

I asked Lu Yuchen to accept the awards for me later, not because I didn't want to continue accepting the awards, but because Mr. Zhang called me out.

We found a hidden corner and sat down.

Mr. Zhang said eagerly: "This time, both of us are big winners. Congratulations!"

I hummed and said, "I've always wondered about one thing. How did you choose the awards? I don't understand why Lotte won the award?"

Mr. Zhang replied with a smile: "Well, I know a little bit. Didn't you find that our award-winning winners have a common characteristic?"

I asked curiously, "What are the characteristics?"

Mr. Zhang replied: "They are all pure private enterprises, without any foreign capital injection! Do you understand now?"

I thought about it for a while and said, "Should Yingke not have one?"

Mr. Zhang shook his head and said: "This is called impure funds. Yingke's shares are very complicated. Let's put it this way, whether it is the original Yingke or Zhongjing, there is no such problem, but Huaxi Group and He Group have this problem." The problem is that they injected funds into Yingke, so there is this problem. Now you know what's going on?"

I groaned and wanted to discuss this issue, but Mr. Zhang changed the subject and said, "It's not our turn to worry about these matters! Let's talk about our cooperation!"

I wanted to tangled up again, but after thinking about it, I also feel that it is not suitable to talk about this topic now.He said casually, "Did the person I arranged go in?"

Mr. Zhang shook his head and said: "The candidate is the best candidate, but she refuses, and I can't help it. How about you persuade her for me?"

I sighed and said: "I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. You also know that she came from me. How can she listen to me now? And I think it's best not to let her know that I recommended it. With her Temper, let alone accept it."

Mr. Zhang said in embarrassment: "Then what should I do? Do you have any other candidates? You have so many strong generals under your command, so you can introduce any one to me, I'm sure it will do!"

I smiled and said with sloppy eyes: "I am also a carrot and a hole now. How can there be such a candidate? Or you should pay attention to the cottage and think of ways to impress her? The biggest weakness of her is that she is easy to be emotional. Be righteous!"

Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you still think highly of her? Let me ask you, what is the reason why you don't want her anymore?"

I creaked and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the work philosophy doesn't match. I'm not easy to get along with. Don't blame her, blame me, it's my problem!"

Mr. Zhang didn't delve into it any further, and continued, "Also, what did you tell Tao Renyan? Her attitude has changed a lot, and she hasn't interfered so much with my work recently! I think..."

I smiled and said, "That's a good thing! No, what do you mean, if Tao Renyan's attitude changes, don't we need to cooperate? What about your 20% of the shares?"

Mr. Zhang said embarrassingly: "Look, if our family is in harmony, then outsiders will not be able to interfere as much as possible!"

I nodded and said, "Understood, understood!"
