NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 214: Different from the past
Chapter 214 is different from the past
The monthly summary meeting was still held in the large conference room that could accommodate more than 200 people last time. A red banner was hung on the rostrum to welcome the leaders of the Kyoto Supply and Marketing Cooperative City Headquarters to visit and give guidance.
Because they were well prepared, every participant was given perks this time: an enamel cup with pictures of labor glory printed on it, a heroic gold pen that absorbed enough black ink, a notebook wrapped in blue velvet with the Dongcheng District red seal of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, A floral handkerchief also embroidered with the words Dongcheng District of Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and a black leather briefcase!
Seeing this, everyone showed their white teeth with joy, sitting upright and quietly waiting for the leaders to enter, but from time to time they touched the pen, opened the notebook and lowered their heads to secretly sniff the woody fragrance of the new notebook. It had a good texture after squeezing it. The beautifully textured briefcase, another sip of tea from the enamel cup, and a handkerchief wiping the non-existent sweat on my forehead made me feel so satisfied.
The person attending the meeting was the second-in-command of the city headquarters. He was surrounded by vice presidents, district directors, and ministers from Xicheng District, Zhaoyang District, Taifeng District, and other district headquarters. The first two rows of seats were actually filled.
From the moment they heard the sound in the corridor, the big guys stood up and clapped their hands vigorously, their faces flushed with excitement, and even their hair seemed to stand up in welcome. These are all big leaders. They usually don't even meet each other. Now because Dongcheng District has made some achievements and attracted leaders to visit, they are extremely proud and prideful. They look at An Zhixia with no identity in their eyes. A kind of admiration that arises spontaneously due to status and age, and an admiration and conviction that I don't even know I have.
As the youngest and most promising minister in Dongcheng District, Li Hanqian served as the host this time. According to the rules, he invited the senior leaders to speak first.
The leaders came to the stage one by one with manuscripts to praise and encourage the employees of various supply and marketing cooperatives in Dongcheng District, and then briefly thought about the future. I hope that in the new year, everyone will continue their efforts and make more contributions to the motherland.
This formal meeting pattern kept An Zhixia smiling professionally on her lips, and she clapped her hands loudly along with everyone else.
After the leaders finished speaking, the meeting got down to business. Li Hanqian looked at the more than 100 people in the audience, couldn't help clearing his throat and said: "This month is the first month of the lunar year of 1973. Everyone said one thing." The day's plan begins in the morning, and the year's plan begins in the spring. We must have a plan for the entire year's work in the first month, so today's meeting is extremely important.
However, today is different from previous years. A young comrade joined our team and set the highest turnover in our entire supply and marketing cooperative system within the day before! Moreover, we old comrades have an agreement with her. If the salesperson proactively greets customers with a smile, the profit will increase by at least 20% compared to last month!
Given that last month was the month of rush to buy new year goods and it can be regarded as the month with the highest turnover in a year, this task is quite difficult. If the task is completed, then our Dongcheng District Supply and Marketing Cooperative leadership team is willing to use 20% of the extra profit as a performance award for the sales staff. If the task is not completed, then Comrade An Zhixia will formulate a rush purchase plan for each Dongcheng District Supply and Marketing Cooperative. , sell all the inventory in the warehouse at no less than cost price.
Has the task been completed? None of us know, so let’s wait and see!
Ask the accounting comrades of various Dongcheng District Supply and Marketing Cooperatives to report your profit and increase in this month! "
Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative sold out all its goods last month, so this time it is just making a simple profit report. It has the aftermath of the crazy sales last year. In addition, all the goods are updated and the sales staff are friendly and enthusiastic. Their turnover is as usual. The profit in the past quarter is almost the same as the usual monthly profit of ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives.
Everyone couldn't help but clapped their hands to express their surprise that such an achievement could be achieved in such a favorable place at the right time and with no people occupying it. But when they thought about the profit of their own supply and marketing cooperative this month, they became more aware and excited.
Next, let’s start with the report from the supply and marketing cooperative with the lowest monthly profit last month. Except for Dongfeng Shili, the other 22 supply and marketing cooperatives’ monthly profit growth was more than 20%, and some even reached 30% to 40%!
The whole venue was excited. Even the big leaders stood up again and again and clapped vigorously. Their faces were stiff with laughter, but they still couldn't stop their joy.
Yes, this era was a period of planned economy, and bills were used to allocate the destination of products. It stands to reason that supply and demand have reached an artificially controllable balance. The products of supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are selling well at the same time, and there will be no backlog in warehouses. But this is only an idealized state.
The market and people's needs have their own complex laws. Furthermore, some bills have no expiration date, and some have a validity period as long as half a year or one year. Often people are reluctant to use them and keep them. When they are about to expire, they exchange them with neighbors or colleagues. This leads to a backlog of goods in the warehouse and widens the gap between department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.
Today, with the gap becoming increasingly serious for more than ten years, they seem to see hope of turning around!
Li Hanqian was called back and forth by his leaders, asking him to write down problems and give feedback to An Zhixia. When An Zhixia comes on stage, he will answer everyone's questions one by one.
Everyone drank a glass of water excitedly, took a short rest, and continued the meeting.
An Zhixia is wearing a khaki corduroy suit today, a white turtleneck sweater underneath, black straight pants, shiny leather shoes with wedge heels, and her hair is half tied up. She is dignified and energetic at the same time. Her makeup is light, but her delicate and beautiful eyebrows are still breathtaking.
The leaders actually saw her at the Bai Lao Birthday Banquet. When they saw this young and beautiful girl, they were trembling with excitement. This is a very lethal tiger girl! At that time, she frightened a group of old guys into a daze, pointed at the Bai family and the Fang family, cursed them, tricked Mr. Jiao away, and poked Mr. Bai in the heart. On the contrary, she was still treated politely by the Bai family. She was happy. I collected a bunch of prizes and went home.
Who can do this?
Perhaps she can really lead the supply and marketing cooperative on a new journey!
An Zhixia stood in front of the microphone on the rostrum with a smile. He first said a series of polite words, and then said: "I know you are very confused. The organization implements a bill system, so people must come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy whatever they need. No. Due to the influence of the salesperson's attitude, why can the profit in just one month increase by 20% compared to the busiest month?
In fact, the reason is very simple. Everyone has something to hope for, and consumption is an act of superiority. Whether you can make money from customers' pockets depends on the salesperson's ability. "
