Chapter 350 Invisible Change
As for the Chongwenmen Hotel, that was the former unit of Zhang Shihui and Ning Weimin.
Even though both of them have resigned, after all, this is still an era where iron rice bowls are important.
There are few others who dare to step out of their comfort zone like them.
So the interpersonal relationships in the past are still there and nothing much has changed.
Especially as far as Zhang Shihui is concerned, his wife is still working in the hotel.
What’s more, it’s also his main base for selling high-end products.
How can it be impossible to do this?
In fact, Zhang Shihui has a good idea.
Liu Weijing was not used to contact him at all, and he did not even say a word in advance.
After searching for it all afternoon, I transported a whole tricycle full of cigarettes and alcohol there and parked it at the back door of the hotel.
Then he went straight to the front desk and made a phone call, one by one, notifying his acquaintances and friends who were working in various departments to sell goods.
No matter who it is, the words are the same.
"Hey, I... Zhang Shihui. Brother, I have brought good things to you today. Are you busy now?..."
"What good things? I I recently opened a cigarette shop and bought some Erguotou and Badaling. The price is 10% lower than the price in the store. Do you want it..."
"What's the price? Of course it's this price. I can still earn your money. Want it? Then don't be cautious. If you're smart, come downstairs with your money to see the goods..."
"Where to meet? The back door, you will see something when you go downstairs. By the way, help me ask other people in your department, who wants to come together..."
That's it, people People were passed on, people were called, and various departments in the hotel came in rotation, and all were mobilized in turn.
Some people want more, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t have enough money. The friendship is there anyway, so just stick with it first.
Someone bought a little and went back, but then thought they bought less, and soon came uninvited and took a bunch more back...
In short, the whole situation is like giving benefits to employees.
Although Zhang Shihui pulled over twenty-four boxes of wine and four pieces of cigarettes that day, it seemed a bit rash.
But in face of the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the hotel staff, it was almost sold out in less than two hours.
There were only a few boxes of things left, so they were simply left at the front desk, leaving it to Liu Weijing to decide when they would be sold and when they would be finished.
When the morning shift at the hotel got off work that day, Zhang Shihui, who was full of money, not only picked up his wife from get off work.
And it didn’t cost a penny. Through the people in the restaurant and kitchen, I took away two lunch boxes of meat and vegetables from Biianfang and brought back two duck racks.
Look, this errand was done beautifully, wasn’t it?
But even that is nothing.
Because even Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing never thought of this trivial matter that they thought was nothing.
Suddenly overnight, their status in the hotel was greatly improved, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves more and more.
Let's put it this way, since then, not to mention Liu Weijing's work in the unit has been extremely smooth, almost no one in any department has given her any trouble.
Even Zhang Shihui saw smiling faces everywhere in the Chongwenmen Hotel, and almost everyone was willing to open the door to him.
Even things that he couldn't do in the past, such as paying people to have dinner or delivering things privately, can now be solved easily.
For example, he asked someone from the housekeeping department to temporarily rent a guest room for an hour or two.
Or you can ask the room attendant to help pay attention to the whereabouts of a certain guest, call him or something.
Now they no longer refuse to give him these conveniences, but are a bit eager to do so and are happy to do so.
To use the Internet language of a few decades later to describe it, it would be very powerful.
So it's good, but it's so strange that it's so good for no reason, and it will inevitably make people feel guilty and unsure.
Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing couldn’t figure it out after much thought.
Do they feel that there has been no fundamental change in themselves?
How come everyone suddenly became popular and lived so smoothly?
Later, Zhang Shihui couldn't stand the heart-wrenching uncertainty.
After asking Ning Weimin, I finally got a feel for the context and became less suspicious.
This is how Ning Weimin analyzed it for him.
“Brother, don’t underestimate yourself. You may think this is insignificant, but those who work in the hotel feel completely differently.”
< br>
"First of all, they earn dead wages. If you want to have a lot of money, you have to save money. Our tobacco and alcohol are not cheap, but they are really wholesale prices, and there is a 10% profit margin. Well, even the people in the hotel’s logistics team can’t get it.”
“You can sell these goods to people in our unit, not to mention that they themselves have to be more flexible and resell them for a little extra money. It's a sure profit if you give it to others."
"The people in the guest room are just right to fawn over you. Don't forget, no one knows how we got along better than them. Don’t you think they are envious? Don’t you want to learn from them?”
“In their eyes, you are now a model of being both courageous and capable, and you are also their supplier. Customers make a lot of money from high-end tobacco and alcohol, so of course they are also willing to sell cheaper ones and learn from you to make a small amount of money..." Don't tell me, this is true!
Zhang Shihui couldn’t help but nodded when he heard this.
He himself realized it.
The people who recently asked him to ask for more goods, and even swept away all the inventory at the front desk, were the people in the housekeeping department.
And they always ask him about the tricks of selling magnets to customers.
This is undoubtedly proof.
"Secondly, you took the initiative to give the benefits to the big guys. And no one will understand that we are selling these things so cheaply just to make money for ourselves. That is very different."
"Look, it's the same as selling cigarettes and alcohol. If you go there again after being told by someone else, and you still make money, that's because they are taking care of you, and it's better if you don't fall behind. Now if you do this, it's called giving away favors. The work unit People can't help but think of you as a friend. "
"Not to mention that such a lot of tobacco and alcohol is not something that ordinary people can get. Your car is worth a thousand yuan. What kind of courage and strength is there to sell it to everyone for no money! Who dares to underestimate you?"
"So in the eyes of others, you are not only interesting. A friend. And he is a capable friend who will probably be used in the future. Why don't they be nice to you two?" Ning Weimin's words shocked Zhang Shihui again.
Yes, that’s the truth.
I think back then, when he was working in the unit, his mentality was exactly as Ning Weimin described.
While earning wages at that time, what he admired most was the kind of people who could eat everywhere and be able to do anything.
If someone like this could take care of him or get closer to him, it would be a great honor for him.
He was eager to follow them closely to do the work of dogs and horses.
It is precisely because of this that after seeing Ning Weimin's methods, he will wholeheartedly maintain this friendship...
"As for the most important thing, it is the cheap tobacco and alcohol you sell to everyone. , the benefits are not only long-term and beneficial to the public, but also fair and aboveboard. Don’t underestimate this, this is the most important thing.”
Ning Wei didn’t allow Zhang Shihui to think about it any longer. Min then explained the last truth to him.
"Let me tell you, those people who refused to treat you or give you gifts in the past were afraid of getting into trouble and kept themselves safe. In fact, it was not that they didn't want to take advantage of you. They were worried, and they had the heart but not the courage."
“This kind of worry is diverse. It is not just the fear of being gossiped about or causing trouble. They may also be afraid that they will not be able to meet your requirements if they really accept your gift. Or in other aspects .”
"You might as well think about it, just think about that old guy who is on labor insurance. Is he a cautious person? He orders toilet paper at work, gets some pickles from the cafeteria, etc. He has to do it secretly, for fear that others will gossip. You ask such a person to help It's possible to do something without giving him a gift. If you really want to grant him a favor, he will be frightened to death. He won't even listen to what you said. Lao Wang, who started to look at the warehouse, was considered to be a semi-powerful person. He was guarding the food warehouse. Did he want to make something delicious? How many people wanted to look for opportunities to take advantage of him, but Lao Wang completely refused to corrupt his reputation. Why? People think clearly, it’s not worth doing this kind of work after a few years. It’s fun for a while, so why bother?”
“But you understand what I mean. This thing is different. Everyone has a share of the tobacco and alcohol, and the benefits are shared equally. You didn't ask for any conditions, so no one, whether it's Lao Hu or Lao Wang, can resist this temptation. "
"But what does it mean to be short-handed? As long as they take advantage of you today, he won't be so embarrassed to refuse you at least if you talk to him again. I have to hear what you have to say, right?”
“Besides, as long as you don’t make any undue demands, there’s no need for him to refuse to help you even if you take a small risk or make a small mistake. Because everyone in the company owes you, who can say anything? As long as he says your name, he will be relied on to help you get into trouble. Investigate it.”
"I even dare to make this guarantee. Now in our hotel, except for the top leaders, ordinary people will not dare to say bad things about you even if they hate you to the core. Unless they are stupid and want to cause public anger."
"In short, everything is like this because we are doing justice for heaven, killing the rich and giving to the poor. Doing this will not only make us rich, but also buy us long-term favors, which is equivalent to giving a blessing to the future. The roads are paved and street lights are installed.”
“I admit that there may not be any people who don’t like this, but as long as most people do, that’s enough, buddy? , put your heart back in your belly, and work hard. There is a smooth road ahead of us, a bright road, and those who win people's hearts will win the world! I promise there will be no traps..."
And these last words also made Zhang Shihui feel the same and couldn't help but agree.
Because who hasn’t begged someone or been begged by someone?
When giving gifts in the past, he was worried that people wouldn't accept what he sent.
When others turn around and beg him to do something or give him something.
He was also worried about whether he could help others, and was too weak to agree.
This is the mentality of people at the bottom.
Presumably the common people, everyone has almost the same idea.
Yes, for ordinary people, they are afraid of making mistakes.
The most important thing is to live peacefully and without psychological burden.
Yeah, I remembered it all at once.
But the strange thing is... why? Why? He is now unfamiliar with this feeling of shrinking his hands?
We have to let Ning Weimin remind and inspire us...
Could it be that now...he is no longer such a person?
Thinking of what I used to be like, the most difficult days.
A complex, difficult to understand, yet vaguely joyful feeling grew in Zhang Shihui's heart.
Prompting him to look at Ning Weimin with gratitude.
Of course he knows who his changes are due to, and he feels gratified and satisfied with this invisible change.
The words Ning Weimin said to him today not only made him understand some new truths, but also made him even more grateful for Ning Weimin's kindness.
