Chapter 349
"Old Tian, Master Tian, don't leave yet. Manager Jin said he has something to find you for, and wants you to wait here for five minutes."
Tian Hongshan had just pushed his motorcycle out of the shed when he heard someone calling him from behind.
Tian Hongshan looked back and saw it was Xiao Liang, a young man just recruited by the unit.
The current Pengcheng Seventh Factory was no longer the original makeshift team. Not only did it have a fixed office area at the entrance of Xiushuijie, but it also recruited several office personnel specifically responsible for miscellaneous matters in various departments.
Hearing Manager Ma Qianshan say, this kind of office personnel had a title in Hong Kong called "clerk," which meant very cultured.
Xiao Liang was a high school student and barely counted as a cultured person.
Tian Hongshan took off his helmet and asked with a smile: "Xiao Liang! Did Manager Jin say what he wanted me for?"
"He didn't say! But Manager Jin is always punctual. He said five minutes, so it's five minutes."
Xiao Liang walked over while speaking, looking at the motorcycle under Tian Hongshan's butt, and said with envy: "Master Old Tian, people say you got a motorcycle just one year after coming here. In another year, you'll definitely be driving a car. Is it true?"
"Just listen to their nonsense! I paid a large sum of money for this motorcycle myself! If I were to change to a car next year, I couldn't afford it even if I sold my hundred-plus pounds!"
Tian Hongshan smiled and was modest, but looking at the pride on his face, he was clearly in a great mood.
Last spring, he was framed at his original unit, the Xicheng Department Store, and in a fit of anger, he left to join Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng.
Then he was arranged into the channel sales team, constantly running to several surrounding districts and counties, and even went to Jinmen last autumn to research for a long time, preparing to open up a new market in Jinmen.
After running for a whole year, although business trips were often tiring, the Pengcheng Seventh Factory emphasized "payoff for effort."
Adding up all kinds of miscellaneous benefits, one hundred and something a month was the minimum, and two hundred plus was very normal.
This made Tian Hongshan's psychology much more balanced, because when he first came, he was also anxious. After all, the Xicheng Department Store where he was originally was also a famous brand in the country. Changing to the Pengcheng Seventh Factory was like being demoted three levels, which was stifling.
But for the sake of money, Tian Hongshan accepted it. These two hundred plus yuan were not only material compensation but also gave him a kind of spiritual comfort of being respected.
And at the end of the year, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng gave Tian Hongshan a quota for a Happiness 250 at the year-end meeting, only symbolically collecting a little money from him, and it completely belonged to Tian Hongshan personally.
So during the '84 Spring Festival, Tian Hongshan had a very exciting time. During the New Year, he rode his motorcycle back to the dormitory area of the Xicheng Department Store to visit friends. After a few cups of strong liquor, he even shouted the drunken words: "I will eventually sit in a Volga and have the same treatment as him xxx."
Because Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng required all "backbone" members like Tian Hongshan to know how to drive, Tian Hongshan had a driver's license.
So now that Xiao Liang said changing from a motorcycle to a car in another year, don't look at Tian Hongshan's modesty, he was actually looking forward to it more than anyone else.
"That doesn't necessarily mean you have to pay! Maybe Manager Jin will just allocate a dedicated one to you!"
Xiao Liang said with a grin: "Look at our Team Leader Li, didn't she get a Volga as soon as she came? She is still your apprentice, Master Tian! She's already ahead of you."
"Hmm?"
Tian Hongshan was stunned, then looked at Xiao Liang with a smile that wasn't a smile and said: "I don't envy Team Leader Li's Volga. She goes to Shunyi or Tongzhou all day long, and there's no set time for work... Why, Xiao Liang, are you envious?"
Li Yue arrived in the capital last autumn. As soon as she arrived, she followed Tian Hongshan to familiarize herself with the market, counting as his half-apprentice.
But by the end of the year, Li Yue became the "Market Supervision Team Leader," driving a Volga every day, even more stylish than him, Tian Hongshan.
So! Someone had their eyes on her.
Xiao Liang heard Tian Hongshan's words and hurriedly said with a smile: "Master Tian, don't misunderstand. How could I be envious? I was just thinking about what Team Leader Li's background is?"
"What background?"
The smile on Tian Hongshan's face became even more weird.
"Xiao Liang, you just came here, why are you so concerned about Team Leader Li? You don't have any ideas, do you?"
"Ah hahahaha, Master Tian, you're joking... I was just asking for a friend..."
Li Yue was young and beautiful. As soon as she entered the unit, she was different. The attraction to young guys like Xiao Liang was of course huge.
"It's best if you don't have any ideas," Tian Hongshan patted Xiao Liang on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Before you, there were at least eight or ten guys who had ideas about Team Leader Li, but in the end, they all ended up blushing. So, you'd better not think about it."
"No, I really don't... it's my friend..."
Xiao Liang was young after all, and in front of Tian Hongshan, he immediately leaked the bottom.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, friends are the same, no chance."
Tian Hongshan couldn't help but despise Xiao Liang in his heart. Even if he looked ugly, he didn't have a man's courage and responsibility. How could he enter Li Yue's eyes?
"Beep, beep, beep~"
A small red car drove quickly to Tian Hongshan and deliberately honked its horn several times.
Tian Hongshan looked down and found that the person driving was Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng.
But he didn't recognize this small car.
"How is it, Old Tian, this car is not bad, right!"
"Not bad, really not bad!"
Tian Hongshan walked around the small car and asked with a smile: "Manager Jin, this car is imported, right? What brand?"
"Santana, German goods, just launched this year. I had to pull strings to grab one."
"German goods are good! My old man's unit used to have a Flying Eagle bicycle that was German goods. It's been decades and it's still better to ride than a new one..."
Tian Hongshan opened the car door, peeked inside, and couldn't stop praising.
When he was familiarizing himself with the market with Li Yue, he sat in that Volga many times. Just looking at the interior decoration, the difference was really huge.
"This car is yours, take it!"
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng flicked his hand and threw the car keys to Tian Hongshan.
"Ah?"
Tian Hongshan was stunned and hurriedly caught the car keys thrown by Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, feeling flustered for a moment.
After holding the keys steady, Tian Hongshan asked in disbelief: "No, Manager Jin, what... what does this mean?"
"Go, get in the car and talk! You drive."
"Oh, oh."
Tian Hongshan was confused, but couldn't resist the powerful temptation of a Santana. He got in the car, started it, and stepped on the gas pedal, "whoosh," and shot out.
"Whoa, whoa, this car is too fast, I have to adapt..."
Tian Hongshan's mouth was crooked with joy. With this car, it must be better than his old boss's Volga. He must go show off tomorrow.
No, go tonight.
"Old Tian! Originally! I wanted you to be responsible for the Jinmen side, but now the unit has new needs..."
Tian Hongshan was enjoying driving, but after hearing Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's words, his heart suddenly turned cold.
At the end of last year, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng talked to him, saying that after the Jinmen side started, he would go there to be the person in charge.
As a result, now the business in the capital was handed over to Li Yue, but the unit had new needs?
Why is this routine so familiar? In the past, he, Tian Hongshan, was the one playing with the leftovers!
Giving you a new car and letting you be a driver, can that be the same as being a regional person in charge?
Tian Hongshan slowly parked the Santana on the side of the road, exhaled, and said nothing.
Seeing that Tian Hongshan's face was not good, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng comforted him: "I know this is a bit sudden, but we thought about it, you are the most suitable.
After all, the monthly turnover might reach millions. We don't trust ordinary people!"
"Hmm? Hmm, hmm?"
Millions in monthly turnover? What kind of driver has such a large turnover? Even if you steal oil and sell it every day, it's not enough for ten thousand, right?
The veins on Tian Hongshan's forehead began to dance.
"Manager Jin, just tell me! Where are you sending me to open up the market?"
"All over the country. This is the product information. Take a look. After making a decision, set up the framework of the new unit as soon as possible."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng handed a stack of materials to Tian Hongshan. After the latter took it and read it carefully, he understood that he was really going to become a "person in charge."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng actually wanted him to set up a separate trading company and then sell industrial sewing machines, and this sewing machine was produced by a joint venture in Changbei.
"Manager Jin, they are a joint venture. Are they willing to hand over the products to us for sale?"
Tian Hongshan raised his own question.
"You don't need to worry about this, you just need to sell it. Our Seventh Factory has relationships with many garment factories, and we also have channel promoters in several provinces. When the time comes, you start from them first, and then expand the market coverage."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng stretched out a finger: "Your salary will rise to one thousand yuan per month, and the sales commission will be one point. As for how you divide this one point, I don't care, but the accounts must be clear."
Tian Hongshan swallowed hard, held the steering wheel for a long time, and suddenly made a request.
"Manager Jin, I want to see that classmate Li Ye."
"Hmm?"
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng asked in surprise: "Old Tian, why do you want to see him?"
Tian Hongshan smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I've been at the Pengcheng Seventh Factory for more than a year, but there are still many things I haven't understood.
I've been thinking for a long time, and I feel... is it because of that economic consultant that the Pengcheng Seventh Factory developed so fast?"
Looking at Tian Hongshan, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng couldn't help but admire Li Ye's judgment.
Letting Tian Hongshan be in charge of the newly established trading company was the result of discussions between Li Ye, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, Ma Qianshan, and others.
Now it seems that this Tian Hongshan really has some skills!
