Chapter 423 Haiyuan Line
Lin Xi remembers that after Hu Xueqiang, general manager of Orr, took office as the director of Haiyuan refrigerator factory, a user wrote to report that Haier refrigerators had quality problems. Hu Xueqiang asked employees to smash 76 defective refrigerators in person with a sledgehammer, which not only had a huge publicity effect, but also awakened the quality awareness of employees. Since then, you have always put quality first.
After smashing 76 refrigerators, this sledgehammer was officially collected as a national cultural relic by the National Museum of China. In his previous life, Lin Xi paid attention to Orer's because of the news.
In his previous life, Lin Xi and Hu Xueqiang had many times, and the relationship between them was also very good, but at this time, the two did not know each other.
Lin Xi thought it would take a lot of effort to enter the door, but as soon as he said that he was here to negotiate the purchase of goods, the doorkeeper immediately let him enter the door and enthusiastically told him the location of the sales department.
Lin Xi handed a cigarette and said thank you. After that, he raised his foot and walked to the direction pointed by the other party.
After seeing the performance of the doorman, Lin Xi deeply realized for the first time after his rebirth that the enterprise wanted to develop, just like Orr, he had to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of every employee, so as to gain inexhaustible motivation and finally succeed.
1992 was a very critical year for Orr. After the great man's speech in the south, all walks of life showed a trend of great development.
In the 1990s, national policies encouraged mergers and reorganizations. Some enterprises could not continue after mergers and reorganizations, or believed that they should be professional rather than diversified. Orr has successively merged 18 domestic enterprises with its unique ideas, so that enterprises have entered a broader development space in terms of diversified operation and scale expansion.
Now that Orr's merger has just begun. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and Orr is in a critical period of development. This is exactly what Lin Xi wants, and it is also the reason why he made his first stop in Ludong Haiyuan.
After Lin Xi arrived at the sales department, a girl immediately came up and asked him if he needed anything.
Although the girl was beautiful and polite, Lin Xi did not give her face and directly asked her to invite the sales manager. He had something to say to the other party.
The reason why Lin Xi did this is not that he doesn't know etiquette, but for another purpose. His goal is Hu Xueqiang, the general manager of Orr. Only by putting on a good posture can he achieve his wish.
After hearing Lin Xi's words, although the girl's face was a little unhappy, she said politely, "Sir, wait a moment. I'll invite Manager Lu now."
"Thank you, sorry to trouble you!" Lin Xi replied politely.
Five minutes later, a 35- or six-year-old young man came over, with a white shirt, black suit trousers and a pair of glasses on his face, looking a little bookish.
"Hello, sir, I'm Lu Rongcheng, the manager of Orle's sales department. I don't know what I can do to help you!" While talking, Lu Rongcheng politely stretched out his hand to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi held the other party's hand and said with a smile, "Manager Lu, I'm sorry to trouble you. I really have something to talk to you about."
When Lu Rongcheng first met Lin Xi, he did not take him too seriously. After all, the other party was too young. Although he was wearing a dark shirt, suit trousers and leather shoes, Lu Rongcheng always felt that the other party had a sense of childishness.
After hearing Lin Xi's words, Lu Rongcheng was a little relieved. At least the other party was not full and had nothing to do to have fun. In this case, he was relieved.
Lin Xi saw Lu Rongcheng's performance and then said, "Manager Lu, my name is Lin Xi, from Qingyuan County, a subordinate of Pangzhou City, Huaijiang Province. My family wants to set up a home appliance store. I'll come and have a look first."
The reason why his family wants to build a home appliance store is that Lin Xi knows very well that no matter how he wears his clothes, his age and so on, the other party can still generally see it. In order to make the other party pay more attention to his words, he can only talk about his family.
After hearing this, Lu Rongcheng was slightly stunned. The word home appliance store is a new word that has just appeared recently. At present, it only appears in some first-tier cities. Now the teenager in front of him said it easily, and he secretly put away his previous contempt.
"Manager Lin, please take me to sit in the manager's room. Let's talk slowly." Lu Rongcheng said while making a gesture of invitation to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi saw this and said with a smile, "Manager Lu, please!" After Lin Xi and Lu Rongcheng entered the manager's room, the girl who had just received him made a cup of tea for each of them. After giving Lin Xi a white look, she raised her feet out of the manager's room.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xi thought to herself, it seems that she accidentally offended the beautiful woman just now, and it seems that she has to find an opportunity to make up for it.
Lu Rongcheng handed a cigarette to Lin Xi and said, "Manager Lin, I don't know how big your home appliance store is going to be. Is there anything I can do for you?"
After hearing Lu Rongcheng's question, Lin Xi told the other party about the size of Qingyuan Department Store.
After hearing this, Lu Rongcheng asked, "I know that when I went to Qingyuan Mall last year, I went there on the way. It was a comprehensive shopping mall. Do you mean you want to make it into a special home appliance store and only sell electricity?"
"Manager Lu, I still know the meaning of the four words home appliance store." Lin Xi answered the question.
After hearing this, Lu Rongcheng's face showed a trace of embarrassment and quickly said, "Manager Lin, don't get me wrong. I don't mean that, but I know that Qingyuan Department Store seems to be a county enterprise. You..."
"Manager Lu's experience is really extensive. You're right, but that's what happened before. Since a week ago, a friend of mine has contracted him, and now he is doing decoration!" Lin Xi looked at Lu Rongcheng and said.
"So that's it. Then I have to congratulate Manager Lin. It's time to make household appliances at this time!" Lu Rongcheng sighed sincerely, "Manager Lin, you came to our Orr specially from Qingyuan, specifically..."
Lu Rongcheng stopped talking about this, and the meaning of it was really clear. He was asking Lin Xi how many goods he wanted?
"Manager Lu, our preliminary idea is that there are 1,000 refrigerators and washing machines, but we need to deliver them in two to three parts, about 500 each in the first batch." When Lin Xi said this, he extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.
Lu Rongcheng was very surprised when he heard this, but he was relieved when he thought of the huge venue of Qingyuan Department Store.
"Manager Lin, you need a large amount. I can't decide. Well, I'll call Mr. Hu to report it. If he has time, we'll go to him." Lu Rongcheng said.
After Lin Xi agreed, Lu Rongcheng picked up the phone and called the general manager Hu Xueqiang.
Lu Rongcheng simply reported Lin Xi's situation to Hu Xueqiang, and then the other party didn't know what to say on the phone. He hung up the phone after two times.
"Manager Lin, our Mr. Hu is inspecting the branch factory. He is going back now and will be back in about half an hour. Please wait a moment." Lu Rongcheng said politely to Lin Xi.
After Lin Xi said that he was fine, he took out a cigarette box from his pocket and handed a cigarette to Lu Rongcheng, and then lit one for himself.
Lin Xi told Hu Xueqiang in detail about his plan to hold a large home appliance exhibition when he was ready to open a home appliance store for half an hour.
The purpose of doing this is very simple. As Ni Lingwei said before, the funds in his hand are not enough to mention so many goods. If he wants to empty the purpose of the white wolf in advance, he must gain the trust of the other party.
Judging from Hu Xueqiang's performance after Lu Rongcheng's phone call just now, his sales manager still has some weight in the eyes of the general manager. In this case, Lin Xi will naturally make good use of it.
"Manager Lin, your idea is really good, but if you want to have the effect you want, you have to keep up with this. It's not easy!" Lu Rongcheng reminded Lin Xi.
"Manager Lu is really clear. I have arrangements for this matter. My friend has something to do with the province. As for the city and county side, there is no problem." Lin Xi said.
"Oh?" Lu Rongcheng said softly and stopped talking.
