Chapter 203 The only hope for a big order

At noon the next day after signing the contract, two Santanas drove to the West Lake Hotel one by one. Zhou Ming, Suhan, Li Qingyuan, and Zhao Jun, general manager of Linyang Babao Zhuhang City Branch, got off the car and walked into the hotel. The hotel manager personally greeted them in the private room at the door.

When we arrived at the box, the waiter served the meal. Zhou Ming poured wine while introducing Zhao Jun and Li Qingyuan: Manager Zhao, this Li Qingyuan was the chairman of Doll Xiao Company in the past. Now we have acquired Doll Xiao, and I am going to appoint him as the marketing manager of our new Doll Xiao Babao Porridge, which is mainly responsible for the marketing and future development of our Babao Porridge throughout Hangzhou City. You are the general manager of the company. I hope you will cooperate with each other in the future.

After Zhou Ming's introduction, Li Qingyuan first raised his glass to Zhao Jun: Hello, Manager Zhao, I am Li Qingyuan, I am very happy to be a member of the new doll Xiaobabao Porridge Company. Although I have had experience in food sales in the past, you are still a novice compared to Manager Zhao. Manager Zhao's sales in Hangzhou City alone have millions of sales, which is very powerful. I hope Manager Zhao can help more.

Manager Li has won the award. My achievements are all the advantages of Babao Porridge established by Boss Zhou. I am just doing things step by step. However, Manager Li's name makes me well-known, and it has brought Baby Lau, a company on the verge of bankruptcy, into the most successful company in Nancheng District. This ability is admired by many people, including me.

Zhao Jun also said politely to Li Qingyuan that Zhou Ming could hear that he was just being polite and kind, not really wanting to praise anything. On the contrary, he was still quite disgusted with Li Qingyuan.

In fact, this reason is normal. After all, since the establishment of the Hangzhou Babao Porridge Branch, Zhao Jun has been the general manager. Now, a Li Qingyuan suddenly appeared. What is the marketing manager in the whole city? How could he feel good? Even if this is Zhou Ming's decision, even if he understands that the company has acquired the Doll Laughing Company, he must make some arrangements for Li Qingyuan. It is not good to feel bad.

If it is better to develop into a large group, then Zhao Jun, the general manager of the provincial branch, naturally would not have any opinions on the addition of a municipal marketing manager. But now the market for Babao Porridge is mainly concentrated in the provincial capital. If there are so many municipal marketing managers, then there will be a ghost if Zhao Jun is happy.

As for Comrade Li Qingyuan's performance in Doll Laughing Company, people with sales of less than one million per month can compare what people can easily sell million per month.

Manager Zhao, Manager Li, Hangzhou City is developing rapidly now. It can be expected that the development of Hangzhou City and even Binjiang Province will definitely be very good in the future. The new Doll Laughing Company will definitely go to a higher level with the development of cities and regions. So I hope you can work together to make Doll Laughing Company better develop it. Zhou Ming just gave encouragement very ordinary and did not say much to Zhao Jun's attitude.

This is not to say that Zhou Ming cannot raise Li Qingyuan, but that he has no achievements in Babao Porridge Company now, and it is impossible to convince the public if he is forced to raise it.

After all, in Zhou Ming's understanding, the company is not a powerful institution that leaders say that they are nodding, which will lose its overall vitality. What Zhou Ming needs is that Li Qingyuan will use his abilities in his work, prove himself with facts, and get promoted with his performance.

One is to be appointed as the general manager without doing anything; the other is to be appointed as an ordinary manager when he comes in, and to make several large orders to bring huge benefits to the company and then appoint the general manager. Which method is better is obvious. Zhou Ming also chose the latter intuitively because Zhou Ming believes that as long as Li Qingyuan is still the same Li Qingyuan, he can do it. Raising seedlings and promoting growth will only harm him.

Li Qingyuan also knew Zhou Ming's considerations well. After the dinner, when Zhou Ming asked him, Li Qingyuan said: It is normal for Manager Zhao to do this, because strictly speaking, I have never done food marketing, and the sales results of Doll Xiao Oral Liquid in the past are just that for him. Now I rashly give me a manager, and as the general manager, he will certainly be dissatisfied.

Li Qingyuan said this and then changed the subject: But this doesn't matter. I will use my actual actions to make everyone accept me.

I believe in Manager Li’s determination and ability, but you should not be too confident.

Zhou Ming said this to Li Qingyuan, but in the end he made a promise, because in the next more than a week, although Li Qingyuan ran around and tried to do marketing and promotion, and also went to many units, but in the end he had little effect. On the one hand, he had no way out. On the other hand, he had so many salesmen in the company's division. As long as it was easy to open the market, they had already opened it. How could it be Li Qingyuan's turn to do it?

It was dark day by day before Li Qingyuan returned home. After he got home, he sat on the sofa and didn't want to move. His wife Zuo Huizhen came over and asked with concern: Is there no progress in Qingyuan going to the countryside today?

Li Qingyuan shook his head, looking tired: I have gone to several supply and marketing cooperatives, but they also have cooperation agreements with Babao Congee Factory. I have learned that the number of these agreements is not large. Even if I can find supply and marketing cooperatives that have not been developed, it is probably a drop in the bucket with their needs.

No matter how much mosquitoes smile, they will be meat. Qingyuan, you will definitely have results when you go to a few more supply and marketing cooperatives. As long as there are too many supply and marketing cooperatives, won’t your sales in Qingyuan also go up, Zuo Huizhen said.

This method is a good way to be diligent, but I can't do it. Li Qingyuan sighed and said.

Zuo Huizhen asked curiously why, and Li Qingyuan replied: It's very simple. If I am an ordinary salesperson, then it's understandable that I do this, but I am now a marketing manager appointed by Boss Zhou. I do this to not have enough time, and secondly, doing this is also competing with ordinary salespersons for the market, which will cause internal conflicts within the company. This will not be conducive to my management even if I make achievements.

This is not OK, that is not OK. Qingyuan, what are you planning to do? Zuo Huizhen said very distressedly.

I have to make a big order in a short time. Only in this way can I prove myself the best, fastest and most direct way, and let everyone recognize my ability. Li Qingyuan said.

Big orders are now gone even small orders from rural supply and marketing cooperatives, so how can there be any big orders?

While Li Qingyuan and Zuo Huizhen were chatting at home, Zhou Ming and Su Han also talked about Li Qingyuan's current situation, and Su Han asked that at that time.

Zhou Ming, I believe in your vision very much, and I also believe that Li Qingyuan is sure to make big orders well, but now almost all the big orders in the company are in the hands of Manager Zhao and the two vice presidents. Su Han analyzed that, should Li Qingyuan grab orders from them? If he really does this, it will be artificially creating conflicts within the company or conflicts among senior management, which is very unfavorable to the company's management.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: Don't worry, Xiaohan, he is Li Qingyuan, his pride will definitely not allow him to do this. If he really intends to use this brain, even if he has the ability and is not right, I will fire him.

Su Han was not surprised by Zhou Ming's answer. Zhou Ming was Zhou Ming, a man she loved and respected deeply. He would not change the principles he adhered to in anything.

But at the same time, Su Han was worried: because if Li Qingyuan didn't do this, how could he achieve results in a short period of time?

At this time, Zhou Ming suddenly asked Su Han: Xiaohan, if I remember correctly, there was a state-owned unit of Binjiang Ocean Freight Company bidding for the order of Ocean Food. It sounded quite consistent with our customer's needs. Why did there seem to be a problem?

Su Han thought for a while and nodded and said: There is indeed such a bidding meeting, which is a one-year supply contract with the shipping company. If you can get a large order of at least one million, the more you may have tens of millions. Moreover, the eight-treasure porridge is a very suitable product on the ship in terms of nutritional taste and difficulty of preservation. Zhao Jun, the general manager of the company, is currently responsible for following up on this bidding meeting, but he does not have much confidence in taking it.

This is why since we have such a great advantage, why are we not confident? Did he offend Zhou Ming, the boss of the shipping company, ask curiously.

Su Han shook his head and said: It's not, but this shipping company has always cooperated with Hangzhou City Supply and Marketing Company. The supply provided there is the most comprehensive and the price is fair. Compared with them, we don't have much competitive advantage. So Zhao Jun's idea is that he will talk to the supply and marketing company to see if he can split a part of it from this big order.

Zhou Ming smiled: Zhao Jun looks like this, but since he can't eat meat, it's better to drink some soup, but I'm afraid Li Qingyuan is not so generous.

Su Han immediately understood what Zhou Ming meant: Zhou Ming, do you mean that Li Qingyuan will come to fight for this project and he wants to eat all the orders.

Zhou Ming nodded and said yes. Su Han took a breath and said: This is to confront the supply and marketing company head-on. If we rely solely on the power of Binjiang Branch or even Li Qingyuan alone, it would be impossible to get it. Moreover, we are just Babao Porridge Company. It is impossible for only Babao Porridge to supply Babao Porridge in shipping. I'm afraid we can't supply the vegetables, rice and flour they want.

I think this is not a problem, because our Babao Porridge Company originally had cooperation with some farms. Now we are just importing the raw materials for Babao Porridge, and we may not be able to import some rice, flour, vegetables and other rice. Even if we don’t understand this aspect, we can completely disassemble the order and send it to others, or think of other ways. However, the premise is that the order must be mastered and then owned by our own hands. Zhou Ming said last time.

Su Han looked at Zhou Ming admiringly: It’s worthy of being Zhou Ming. The decisions made are so powerful, but this is Zhou Ming. So will Li Qingyuan have the courage to do this?

Su Han expressed doubts about this, but Zhou Ming comforted her and said: Don't worry, Xiaohan, as long as Li Qingyuan is still the same Li Qingyuan, he will have this courage, because this is all the only big order he may get to prove his value now.

It was like proving Zhou Ming's words. When Zhou Ming's words had just finished, the phone he placed on the table suddenly remembered. Zhou Ming picked it up and connected it. Li Qingyuan's voice immediately came from there: Boss Zhou, I want to be responsible for the bidding project of the shipping company's order.
