Rebirth of the Wild Age

Rongping Department Store.

Sixth floor, banquet hall.

At the entrance of the venue, the staff stopped Chen Zhuo: "Comrade, please show your work card or invitation letter."

"It's troublesome." Chen Zhuo handed over his invitation letter.

After checking the invitation letter, the staff handed Chen Zhuo a badge and said with a smile, "Please come in!"

Chen Zhuo is from the Northeast. His father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandpa, grandmother, and seven aunts and aunts are all employees of state-owned enterprises. He was the third child in his family, and it was difficult for him to replace his parents, so he was admitted to a technical secondary school and became a small cadre of a state-owned enterprise after graduation.

The old industrial base in Northeast China has declined rapidly in the past few years. Although no one in Chen Zhuo's family has been laid off, it is difficult to pay wages. When people meet and greet each other, they don’t ask “Have you eaten?”, but “Can your factory pay wages?” If you answer “Yes, you can pay wages”, you will definitely win the sincere envy of your friends.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Zhuo resolutely resigned from his job in a state-owned enterprise and went to Shencheng to start a business.

In just one year, Chen Zhuo lost all of the 30,000 yuan he borrowed, and sadly returned to his hometown to heal his wounds and reflect. By chance, he learned that there was a large-scale cracking of canned food in the Northeast market last year in winter.

For this situation, people can't find the reason at all, and they all say that the temperature is too low and the bottle is damaged by freezing.

Chen Zhuo suddenly had a whim, bought dozens of brands of canned food, took them to the cold storage of the meat joint factory for experiments, and came to the following conclusion: all brands of canned food are intact when the temperature is above minus 18 degrees. And when it reaches minus 18 degrees, not only the pork in the meat joint factory will freeze quickly, the fruit in the can will freeze into a sponge, and most of the glass canning jars will crack.

Chen Zhuo is not a scientist, he can't figure out the reason, but he knows that there must be a market for those brands that are not frozen.

Among these non-perishable brands, Xifeng is the most famous, so Chen Zhuo recommended himself and went to Xifeng Company as a salesperson. He took the cans produced by Xifeng and ran around the Northeast. Everywhere he went, he invited distributors and retailers to the cold storage for experiments.

In just two months, Xifeng cans were sold all over the three northeastern provinces, and at this time, General Manager Yang Xin had just contacted European distributors.

It was also because of the company's contact with European distributors that Chen Zhuo finally knew the scientific reason for the cracking of cans. It seems to be related to the sugar content (not sweetness). The sugar content of saccharin is more than 200 times lower than that of sucrose, which leads to a huge difference in the physical properties of the solution in a low temperature environment.

Those unscrupulous manufacturers who are greedy for money use saccharin instead of white sugar, which can save 95% of the sugar cost and 20%-30% of the overall cost of raw materials, but thus lose most of the market in low-temperature areas.

Because of this, Chen Zhuo was favored by the company's top management, and he is now the head of sales in the Northeast region. The company will divide the Chinese market into eight regions at the end of the year. Chen Zhuo has long received the news that he will soon be the sales director of the Northeast region of Xifeng Company, including the iced tea series.

Walking into the venue, Chen Zhuo quickly found his seat. The seat was closer to the front, and there was already a middle-aged man sitting next to him. There was a huge scar on his face, which looked like he had been burned or scalded.

"Hello, my name is Chen Zhuo." Chen Zhuo greeted with a handshake.

The middle-aged man smiled honestly, "My name is Luo Jiaquan."

Chen Zhuo felt that the other party's hands were rough, so he couldn't help but ask, "I'm doing sales in the Northeast, which one is Brother Luo in charge of?"

Luo Jiaquan said: "I'm just an ordinary worker who was just promoted to be the workshop safety director of the Shaanxi branch."

Chen Zhuo felt more and more surprised, because the Shanxi branch factory had just been established, and a workshop safety director was not qualified to come to the headquarters for the annual meeting. He asked: "Brother Luo must have done a great job, right?"

Luo Jiaquan shyly said: "There is nothing outstanding or not. Last month, the warehouse where the packing boxes were piled up caught fire. I happened to pass by, so I led someone to rush in and remove the cardboard boxes from the middle, so that the fire could not go through, and half of the warehouse was saved. "

"Brother Luo, you are a firefighting hero!" Chen Zhuo was in awe.

"Hey." Luo Jiaquan grinned foolishly, but he was actually rather proud.

Many people entered the meeting place one after another. Chen Zhuo even saw more than a dozen reporters. The company's annual meeting was very big!

At about 5:30 in the afternoon, the company's senior executives showed up together. Unfortunately, Chen Zhuo only knew Zhang Guodong, who was in charge of marketing.

Song Weiyang is too young, sitting at the table of the company leader, it is difficult not to attract attention.

Chen Zhuo was quite excited, thinking: That should be the chairman!

Chen Tao is the host of the annual meeting today, dressed like a big star. She stepped onto the stage and said with a microphone: "Leaders, friends, and colleagues, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the first annual meeting of Xifeng Beverage and Food Company. In the past year..."

After talking for several minutes, everyone didn't find it boring. It was also a kind of enjoyment to watch the beautiful woman talk.

"The healthy and rapid development of Xifeng Company is also inseparable from the support of government leaders... Today, we are honored to have Huang Yunsheng, Mayor Huang, as our guest. Let's invite Mayor Huang to speak on stage with warm applause!" After Chen Tao finished speaking, she stepped aside.

Originally, Fan Zhengyang was invited this time, and Huang Yunsheng also expressed his understanding, respecting the old and loving the young. It's a pity that Lao Fan fell ill temporarily and is still lying in the hospital. It is estimated that he will spend the New Year in the hospital.

Huang Yunsheng walked onto the stage calmly with a smile and said: "Over ten years of reform and opening up..."

Mayor Huang's speech was very level. First, he reviewed the reform process of more than ten years, praised the reform achievements of the motherland, and emphasized the reform policy of the central government. Then he reviewed the history of industrial development in Rongping City, and by the way, praised Fan Zhengyang, then praised Xifeng Company's gratifying performance, and expressed his determination to respond to the call of the central government and develop the local economy. Finally, he also asked friends from the media inside and outside the province to help publicity.

He talked for 40 minutes alone...

After Huang Yunsheng passed away, Yang Xin came to the stage again, and he got to the point in a few words: "Xifeng's development is inseparable from the hard work of all employees. This year, we selected the company's top ten employees...Yuan Hexiang, manager of the company's production management department , for two consecutive years, he paid close attention to production and construction when the supply of canned food and iced tea products was in short supply. A car!"

The media frantically took pictures, and the employees clapped their hands desperately.

Yang Xin put on big red flowers for this person, handed over the certificate of honor, and held up a special oversized check and car keys for the reporter to take pictures.

The other employees were immediately envious. This is a big deal. The Songhuajiang car alone is worth more than 30,000 yuan!

In order to avoid the psychological imbalance of the winners, the rewards for the top ten employees are the same.

Luo Jiaquan was the fifth to receive the award, and Chen Zhuo was the seventh. The last person is named Liu Gang, the deputy manager of the logistics management department of the company. He has been traveling all over the country for a long time and has initially established Xifeng's freight system. Yang Xin has already planned to help him out.

Next came the performances. The company also invited a few young singers, and there were also sound sketches rehearsed by the employees themselves. The climax of the annual meeting was the lottery session. An ordinary workshop worker was recommended to attend the annual meeting because of his good performance. As a result, he accidentally won the special prize of 5,000 yuan, and he fainted from excitement on the spot.

As the chairman of the company, Song Weiyang never gave a speech on stage, and only cared about eating and watching performances.

Chen Zhuo regretted this very much. He admired the chairman very much, and he just waited to hear the chairman's speech.

After nine o'clock in the evening, the annual meeting ended.

Before Chen Zhuo had time to take a stand, a staff member suddenly came over and said to him, "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock in the company's headquarters, the chairman is going to give lectures to the senior cadres in person, and you are authorized to attend."
