Chapter 20: The Real Method of Provocation
Chapter 20: The Real Method of Provocation
In the conference room, Lou Chunhua's last words involuntarily instilled a sense of panic in everyone!
I have indeed heard that many stores have closed, but I always felt that those things were far removed from my own life, as if they only existed in the company's announcement system.
But Lou Chunhua's deliberate reminder now sends some signals...
"Old Zhang~" Li Jing, his usual cheerful demeanor gone, asked cautiously, "Does what Sister Lou said mean the company has already made this arrangement?"
Xu Chuanchuan said with a dark face, "Isn't it the same old thing? Targeting poorly performing stores. We've already closed so many stores in Yanfu District, Dingqiao District, and Xiashi District, and now it's finally Liangbei District's turn."
Wu Ningfeng frowned: "Old Zhang, what will we do if the store really closes down? No, we'll definitely be merged into other stores. What will you do then? You've been a store manager for so many years, we can't just demote you back to being a broker, can we?"
Everyone knows that merging agents into other stores is a simple matter, but the store manager…
You need to manage at least one store to be called a store manager, right?
Everyone in the conference room had worked under Zhang Wang for so long, so naturally they had feelings for him, and no one wanted him to be demoted or even resign.
However, Zhang Wang, who was in the most precarious situation, actually had the best mindset among everyone!
"Then you guys do a good job, just don't let our store's sales be at the bottom!" He smiled nonchalantly, "If you guys aim for number one in sales, how could we possibly close down!"
"However, this month's performance is really bad." Zhang Wang then calculated: "Li Jing 24000, Chuan Chuan 22000, Zhang Jun 23500, Ning Feng got nothing, and including Xiao Chen's 5000, the total is only a little over 7, which is just barely enough to pass the mark."
"The top-performing store in the city center has already made over 30 yuan. To achieve over 30 yuan in this kind of market, they are truly impressive!"
Zhang Wang's envy was palpable; it stemmed not only from admiration for the high commissions brought by high performance, but also from the bitterness of frustration.
Zhang Jun, being the most carefree, disregarded the no-smoking rule in the meeting room and simply pulled out cigarettes and distributed them to everyone.
"Fuck him!" he yelled.
"Yes!" everyone nodded. "Fuck them!"
Chen Yuanzhou, who was outside, was puzzled by the commotion in the conference room and wondered which competitor they were having a conflict with.
Are we going to fight?
After everyone came out of the meeting room, Li Jing deliberately told him roughly what Lou Chunhua had said, and he finally understood.
However, he quickly grasped the key point: to avoid closing down, all you have to do is not be at the bottom of the area.
"Store Manager~" Chen Yuanzhou asked Zhang Wang, "How are the performances of the other stores in our area?"
Li Jing interjected, "We have a total of 5 stores in this area. The New Century store is currently performing the best, with over 13 in sales. The Hongxin Garden store has over 11, the Xiushui Jiayuan store has also over 11, and the Yijingyuan store has over 9..."
"We have over 7~"
Chen Yuanzhou nodded: "Making 20 this month shouldn't be a problem. I'll take 10, and you can split the rest."
After he finished speaking, seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, he chuckled and said, "20 minus the existing 7 leaves only 13. I'll take 10 by myself."
"What? You seniors don't even have the confidence to give each of you 1?"
"How about I take care of it all by myself?"
At first, people questioned his boastful attitude.
But then everyone realized that, regardless of whether they could actually do it, they should at least have confidence, right?
If you don't even have this kind of confidence, then you might as well give up, lie down and do whatever you want!
So this time, for the first time ever, even Wu Ningfeng didn't refute him, and everyone else didn't say anything more, just focused on their work.
Having already signed the contract and entered a relaxed mode, Li Jing began to constantly follow up with his clients.
Xu Chuanchuan also pulled out his trump card and started arranging drinking parties.
Zhang Jun went straight out, saying he wanted to visit some nearby universities.
As for Wu Ningfeng, he received a client yesterday, and now he just needs to match properties.
Seeing everyone's state, Chen Yuanzhou smiled with satisfaction and then continued making phone calls.
Seeing everyone's high spirits and enthusiastic atmosphere, Zhang Wang turned and gave Chen Yuanzhou a serious look...
As a manager, only he understood that Chen Yuanzhou had managed to ignite everyone's enthusiasm with just a few words!
This is the real method of provocation, isn't it?
I absolutely adore this kind of agent!
However, Zhang Wang had no idea whether Chen Yuanzhou's words were just a coincidence or if he had a specific purpose in mind!
"Forget it," Zhang Wang said, giving up on figuring out Chen Yuanzhou's difficult problem. Instead, he asked him, "How many groups of clients have you booked?"
"About 20 groups, I guess," Chen Yuanzhou replied. "Let's schedule these for today."
"Is this for a group appointment? Everyone's busy, let me help you."
"No need," Chen Yuanzhou refused with a smile.
Zhang Wang was somewhat surprised: "Can you handle so many clients by yourself? Don't push yourself. It would be a loss if you made a mistake."
Chen Yuanzhou, however, held a different opinion: "If a customer can be overlooked, it means they're not sincere!"
"When there are no customers, the customer is God, whatever they say goes."
"When you have a large group of customers, what do you call customers?"
"Hiss~" Zhang Wang gasped!
Good heavens! This is like comparing the current market to those of recent years!
Zhang Wang experienced that period and still retains a very deep impression of it.
Back then, there were countless customers buying houses. Unlike now, where you treat every customer like a god.
It's the clients who are chasing after the agents!
A reasonably priced property is often snapped up by several groups of buyers, and it's common for landlords to raise prices arbitrarily!
What? You're haggling over the price of a house? Sorry, goodbye! Next up!
One group of clients signs the contract inside the house, while another group shouts outside the door, "Add another 50,000!" Often, the landlord has to be forced to sign the contract by hand!
Agents must be physically strong, otherwise they won't be able to hold the door shut, and if someone breaks in, the deal will fall through!
The property was sold for 150 million today, and the landlord will default on the contract tomorrow!
What? A 10% penalty for breach of contract? Only 15?
OK, I'll compensate you, because the house has appreciated to 180 million!
There are also a large number of out-of-town clients who, because traveling between the two places takes time, simply give the money directly to the agent, who will then book the property for them once a suitable listing is found.
Looking at apartments? What are you looking at? Who's waiting for you?!
That period was one of unimaginable madness for later generations…
It's also a beautiful memory that Zhang Wang can never return to!
Nonsense! Making money is as easy as breathing, how could it not be wonderful?
Zhang Wang shook his head, forcibly pulling himself out of his past reverie, and asked seriously, "Are you really that confident? Things are different now than they were a few years ago..."
"How about we make a bet?" Chen Yuanzhou grinned. "10 in sales. If you achieve that, remember to treat everyone to dinner!"
Zhang Wang chuckled awkwardly, "Forget about betting, what good can come of betting with you? But treating you to dinner is no problem."
Chen Yuanzhou shrugged indifferently, picked up the broken briefcase, grabbed a few keys, and went out.
It's best to deposit that much cash into a bank as soon as possible to avoid causing any more trouble...
