Chen Zhiming is an ordinary contractor in Xiangjiang. He is in his early forties. Due to the booming real estate industry in Xiangjiang, he has been living a good life in recent years and his net worth has already exceeded one million.
However, the contractor is away from home all year round. Sometimes when others look for him, they often cannot be contacted because he is often at the construction site supervising the progress of the project.
This causes him to often miss some suitable projects, otherwise he may develop his small engineering company better.
Chen Zhiming has been in Xiangjiang for so long, so he naturally has a lot of connections.
Those who do projects help introduce projects to each other.
For example, Chen Zhiming specializes in interior decoration, and many of his orders are basically based on referrals from old friends or regular customers.
However, Chen Zhiming is often at the construction site, sometimes at this construction site, sometimes at that construction site, and his phone number cannot be fixed. He can only provide his home phone number to his friends.
But he basically doesn’t get home until very late every day.
In business, time waits for no one.
If others cannot contact him, they will naturally contact others.
Therefore, he will occasionally miss some good project orders.
There is nothing we can do about it.
However, when Chen Zhiming learned about the new product of mobile phones, he secretly decided that no matter how expensive Hutchison Telecom's mobile phones were, he would buy one.
Last night, he specially watched the launch of Yunsheng S1 mobile phone. When he saw the pricing, he was completely relieved.
More than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars is an acceptable price for him.
Therefore, he decided to go to the business hall to buy one the next day.
As long as he has a mobile phone, he can answer the call at any time, so that he will not miss any business opportunities.
Early in the morning, Chen Zhiming came to the Hutchison Telecom business office in Wan Chai, because the construction site he was responsible for recently was in Wan Chai.
What was extremely surprising was that even though he came here at 7:30 in the morning, the door of the Wan Chai business hall was already crowded with people.
Going forward to inquire about it, Chen Zhiming discovered that they were all here to buy mobile phones.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the morning that the business hall finally opened. By this time, hundreds of people were already surrounding the door of the store.
The clerks had no choice but to maintain order at the scene and let customers line up before officially starting work.
Otherwise, normal work would not be possible in such a messy scene.
Until about ten o'clock in the morning, it was finally Chen Zhiming's turn.
The first batch of purchasers will of course have the goods.
Therefore, when Chen Zhiming walked out of the business hall, he was full of joy and held a Yunsheng S1 mobile phone in his hand.
After going outside, Chen Zhiming couldn't wait to call his old friend.
“Dududu~”
After a few seconds, the call was successfully connected.
"Old Yang, guess where I called you now?" Chen Zhiming said proudly to his old friend.
"Old Chen, you still want to show off to me, have you bought a mobile phone?" Lao Yang guessed him right away.
"Not bad, Lao Yang, how did you become so powerful? I haven't seen you so smart usually?" Chen Zhiming said in surprise.
“Fuck you, aren’t you making it clear that I am stupid? To tell you the truth, I also bought a mobile phone, and I bought it at nine o’clock in the morning. Just like you, after buying it I called your home on the spot. Unfortunately, your wife said you were out. I didn’t expect you to show off to me. Old Chen, Old Chen, you are so ridiculous to me!" Old Yang laughed. "We really have a tacit understanding. No wonder you and I have been good friends for decades!" Chen Zhiming sighed with emotion, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
He also has to rush back to call his relatives, friends or people he knows in business, and tell them his new mobile phone number, so that those people can be contacted in time in the future. he.
Originally, he wanted to show off to Lao Yang, but it turned out that he bought it earlier than him, which was a bit embarrassing.
People like Chen Zhiming and Lao Yang are everywhere in Xiangjiang.
Hutchison Telecommunications Corporation Headquarters, many people in the company have a holiday today, but none of the senior management departments have a holiday.
They are all waiting for the final sales data of Yunsheng S1 mobile phone today.
Even Wei Li, the president of Hutchison Whampoa Group, could not contain his excitement and ran over early in the morning.
The 16 business offices will report sales status to Hutchison Telecom every hour.
After nine o'clock, as the statisticians of each business hall reported the data to the company's statisticians, a very accurate sales data was quickly obtained: between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. a total of 325 Yunsheng S1 mobile phones were sold.
Perhaps it was because the salespeople were not familiar with the business in the first hour, so the sales data was not high.
However, as the salespeople’s business handling capabilities became stronger and stronger, sales began to gradually increase.
Between 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock, a total of 486 Yunsheng S1 mobile phones were sold.
Between 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock, a total of 536 Yunsheng S1 mobile phones were sold.
Between 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock, a total of 579 Yunsheng S1 mobile phones were sold.
Between 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a total of 634 Yunsheng S1 mobile phones were sold.
Between 1pm and 2pm, a total of 699 Yunsheng S1 mobile phones were sold.
……
When the time comes after five o'clock in the afternoon, the business hall closes its business hours.
At this time, there are some people queuing up in each business hall, but the working hours are over, and they have no choice but to come back tomorrow.
Actually, the normal business hours of the business hall are from 8 am to 4 pm. Today is the first day of the launch, so the business hours are deliberately delayed by one hour.
Tonight is New Year’s Eve. Although the staff are working today, they cannot go home to spend New Year’s Eve with their families.
Those guests still understand this very well.
What's more, a notice has been posted in the business hall. During the Spring Festival, staff will be arranged to take turns to take holidays and the business will be open as usual.
In this era, Xiangjiang still has a very large labor force, and a large number of stowaways sneak in from sea or land every day.
As long as these stowaways successfully arrive in the city center of Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang will issue them with Xiangjiang ID cards, allowing them to stay legally.
This policy was not officially canceled until January 1981.
Therefore, there has always been no shortage of low-end manpower in Xiangjiang.
The job at Hutchison Telecom's business office is simple, relaxing, and offers good benefits.
So even if they need to work overtime during the New Year, these employees will do it.
Because none of them want to lose such a good job.
If anyone doesn’t want to do it anymore, there will be a lot of people vying to get in and do it! (End of this chapter)
