Chapter 931: 926. A Warning (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
The next day, Zhang Ran got up early, then brought Zhang Sicheng and his sister to Huamei Headquarters.
He did not engage in any undercover visits; if he had really wanted to do that, there would have been no need for him to give advance notice.
After speaking with the front desk, they went straight to Huang Lin's office.
Huang Lin had also received the news, so when Zhang Ran and the others arrived, Huang Lin was standing at the office door to welcome them.
"Mr. Zhang," Huang Lin called out respectfully.
This was to express his attitude, and Zhang Ran also said with a smile, "Chairman Huang, no need for such formalities. Let's go in first."
After Zhang Ran and the others walked in, the atmosphere of the entire company changed following the news of Zhang Ran's arrival.
For the past few days, there had been rumors that this mysterious Big Boss was coming, so the company had been emphasizing discipline issues.
However, emphasizing was one thing; as long as the person hadn't arrived yet, they wouldn't truly take it to heart and would still be a bit lax.
But now that he had arrived, they would subconsciously become nervous no matter what, and it was rumored that the Big Boss had some major business this time.
Coupled with the things Zhang Ran had done previously, many people were terrified; these people were mostly middle management.
They didn't know the specific news, but they were always in the ranks of those Zhang Ran targeted, so they could be said to be a very miserable group.
Therefore, they were even more cautious, which in turn made the employees under them feel a tense atmosphere.
"These are the materials I have compiled, Mr. Zhang, please take a look," Huang Lin said, standing in front of his desk.
At this moment, his desk naturally belonged to Zhang Ran.
"Mm, sit down, don't be nervous. You know what my purpose is this time, why be so nervous?" Zhang Ran laughed.
Huang Lin gave a wry smile; this was becoming a subconscious reaction.
Zhang Ran looked at some of the detailed materials for about half an hour, then stood up and said, "How about this, take me around the company."
He didn't say much about these materials; of course, it was mainly because he had only taken a rough look at them.
With so much data, it would be impossible to study it in detail without a month or so.
Huang Lin nodded, then led Zhang Ran and the others to start strolling around the company, taking the opportunity to introduce some of the company's situation.
Zhang Sicheng and Siyan followed silently behind without speaking, just like transparent people.
But Huang Lin dared not truly treat them as non-existent; he also understood Zhang Ran's purpose in bringing the two along this time—this was to show his stance.
"This is the Sales Department, the most important department in our Huamei. This is the Sales Department Manager, Wang Cheng." The first place Huang Lin brought Zhang Ran to was the Sales Department.
Their Huamei Group started with sales, and it is still their main business operation today.
Therefore, the Sales Department is their most important department; in fact, the sales departments of most companies are basically the main departments.
There is no way around it; no matter which company it is, they all need orders and need to sell their products.
Wang Cheng was slightly nervous inside, but it couldn't be seen on the surface at all. "Mr. Zhang, shall I introduce our Sales Department to you?"
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Manager Wang."
"You are too polite." Although Wang Cheng was surprised by Zhang Ran's politeness, he dared not relax in the slightest.
"Our Sales Department's performance this year is very good, a thirty percent year-on-year increase compared to last year, and at the same time..." Wang Cheng began to speak fluently.
These were things he had prepared in advance, and he had even memorized them several times, so he didn't stumble at all while speaking.
Zhang Ran just listened quietly without interrupting Wang Cheng's words.
Previously, Huamei's business had been declining year by year; there was no help for it, as they were hit by the impact of the internet and failed to keep up in time, so their sales channels also suffered a significant blow.
However, ever since Zhang Ran took over again this year, Zhang Ran had tilted some resources into it.
He opened the door of convenience for them through the online shopping channels of Fengli Group, which is why the sales performance had increased so much.
But Zhang Ran didn't say any of this, just listening to Manager Wang's account.
When Manager Wang had said about enough, Zhang Ran turned to Siyan and said, "Siyan, how do you feel?"
Not only was Manager Wang stunned, but even Siyan was stunned; they hadn't expected Zhang Ran not to express his own opinion, but instead to ask Siyan.
Seeing Manager Wang stunned, Zhang Ran smiled and introduced, "This is my daughter, Siyan. You can get to know each other. She is currently the Chairman of Kangshilan, and there might be some cooperation in the future."
"Hello, Miss Siyan. Truly, a tiger father has no dog for a daughter," Manager Wang hurriedly flattered.
Siyan was also polite, then answered Zhang Ran's previous question, "Huamei Group's Sales Department is indeed full of elites; everyone of us who does channels knows this point.
I am also quite impressed, and after hearing what Manager Wang said, I have also learned a lot of things."
After all, Siyan had been tempered for such a long time, so these social pleasantries came to her lips easily, without the slightest hesitation.
Zhang Ran smiled and didn't say anything.
Siyan kept talking about the good points of Huamei Group's Sales Department, while avoiding talking about some of the not-so-good points.
After Siyan finished speaking, Zhang Ran said to Manager Wang, "I also know that you are all elites, but according to the situation I know, you still have some imperfect areas.
I won't say much about the specifics; Manager Wang, you handle it. Make some rectifications; after all, a company, especially the Sales Department, is better off being streamlined."
Wang Cheng's expression changed, but hearing that Zhang Ran didn't intend to rectify it personally, he felt relieved inside.
He also understood Zhang Ran's meaning; Huamei Group's Sales Department was a bit bloated. Indeed, as their most important department, and being a sales department, there were certainly many people.
But at the same time, there were also many people just going through the motions, and there were even people drawing salaries while doing no work.
Manager Wang wouldn't go so far as to draw a salary for no work, but his subordinates had such situations.
"I will immediately go and rectify it," Wang Cheng replied directly without saying another word.
Zhang Ran spoke as if it were just a casual remark and didn't mention the matter again, but it left a string in Wang Cheng's heart.
Seeing this scene, Huang Lin sighed in his heart; this was Zhang Ran beating Wang Cheng. After this time, when it came to company integration, let alone opposing, Wang Cheng probably wouldn't even dare to speak loudly.
This was also Zhang Ran's goal, very clear and very obvious.
He didn't hide anything, and it could be said to be quite straightforward, yet no one dared not to take it seriously.
