Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Although we have the right to sell our cars independently, as the saying goes, we should always leave some room for error so that we can meet again in the future. Selling cars in front of a department store is clearly an attempt to ruin their business."

"Boss Lin, let's sell tricycles somewhere else. I think the small square in the city center is a good choice. There are a lot of people coming and going around, and it's not far from the park."

"No matter what, you can't put it in front of the department store. It's not only a disruption, but also a provocation. Kaifeng, unity among comrades is our old tradition."

In the conference room, everyone suggested to Lin Kaifeng that he should sell the car in another place.

Lin Kaifeng has offended many people by bringing down the Du family father and son.

There is no need to continue to offend the business sector.

The current situation is exactly like that saying.

One wave just flattened, another wave rose again.

You can't guess, the city has agreed to allow the machinery company to sell agricultural tricycles in front of the department store.

It was definitely Lin Kaifeng's idea.

Only Lin Kaifeng could do such a fantastic thing.

During the planned economy era, department stores and their subordinate supply and marketing cooperatives were in charge of all the daily necessities of the people.

You can only buy food, clothing, firewood, rice, oil and salt from them.

In the early years, in addition to department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, there were also some state-private joint-venture stores and a small number of roadside stalls.

Since the mid-60s, the latter have all disappeared.

Department stores and supply and marketing offices became the only external sales departments.

"Is everyone finished talking?"

Lin Kaifeng listened quietly to everyone's objections, neither getting angry nor refuting.

Niu Yonggui said helplessly: "Everyone knows that you have ideas, and every idea you come up with is a good one, but this time, you went a little too far..."

After the words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement.

Even Lu Changshun felt that Lin Kaifeng had indeed gone too far.

It's okay to have all kinds of wild and imaginative ideas at ordinary times.

The city is so big, so you can sell agricultural tricycles everywhere.

He has to do business right under the noses of his peers.

How will we deal with the business sector in the future?

Isn’t Lin Kaifeng afraid of being stabbed in the back and cursed by the department store?

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Why did the city agree to change the machinery factory into a machinery company? Because we dare to think and act, and have the courage to burn our boats, and it can also obtain a large amount of foreign exchange for the city and solve a lot of problems."

"We talk about friendship with department stores. Have department stores ever talked about friendship with everyone?"

"These lucrative government offices are notoriously difficult to enter, and the staff are hostile to customers. If things go wrong, the staff will beat or scold the customers."

“Why should we talk about friendship with them?”

"Whether you go to the small square in the city or go to other places to sell vehicles, it is impossible to create a sensation. If you only want to sell two or three, or seven or eight agricultural tricycles, you can sell them anywhere."

“If we want to create a sensation and get businesses in the city that need it to come to us and buy in bulk, we have to go to the entrance of department stores.”

"The city has approved my application. If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility."

After saying that, Lin Kaifeng walked towards the small blackboard in the conference room.

He picked up the chalk below and wrote three big words.

Sales Section.

Each state-owned enterprise and factory only has a supply and marketing department, and does not have any external sales department.

The job of the Supply and Marketing Department is to write a report to the Materials Bureau to apply for raw materials used in production.

After the planned production of goods is completed, the supply and marketing department will coordinate with relevant departments to hand over the goods to the superior departments in full.

"As the name suggests, the sales department does sales work, which means selling things."

Lin Kaifeng knocked on the black door and said solemnly: "From today on, the company officially established a sales department. There is only one job, which is to sell all the products produced by the company."

"Until you find a qualified sales manager, I will temporarily take over the position of sales manager."

"We have already opened up a part of the foreign market. The next battle is to open up the domestic market, mainly the local market."

"Whether we can have a good year this year depends on our sales performance, in addition to our fixed salary, whether we can get bonuses, and how much the bonuses are."

As the head of a company, responsible for the food, drink, defecation and urination of hundreds of people, you must be tough when it is necessary.

If we allow everyone to express their own opinions, we won't be able to reach a conclusion next month.

Showing his decisive side, Lin Kaifeng directly implemented the arrangements.

In addition to setting up a sales department, the fertilizer plant also needs to undergo some drastic changes.

A long time ago, Lin Kaifeng had set his eyes on the fertilizer plant's building and land.

I just never found the opportunity and was never able to merge them.

When I wanted to sleep, someone offered me a pillow.

The Du family father and son were finished, and the fertilizer factory director Sun Jintao was also suspended and investigated.

Now that we have solved all the current troubles, it's time to let go and get to work.

"In terms of age, you are my uncles, but during work, you must follow my arrangements. I only have two requirements for you."

“First, let go and travel light.”

"Second, you can always tell me any ideas and suggestions that can help the company's development. There are not so many rules and regulations here, and there is no such thing as over-generalization."

"Some people work together to make the company's business better."

After talking about sales work, Lin Kaifeng mentioned the names of several people.

They represented the company and went to the fertilizer plant to receive the goods.

The fertilizer plant is a complete mess. The city can't afford to support the county machinery factory, and it also doesn't have the energy to continue supporting them.

The mice would leave crying.

Transferring the leadership of the fertilizer plant was Lin Kaifeng’s only condition.

To calm people's hearts, let the superiors take as much equipment and production materials from the fertilizer plant as they want, and it is best not to keep any.

Lin Kaifeng only wants the factory and the land.

Two days later, more than a dozen agricultural tricycles decorated with red and colorful ribbons rumbled all the way to the city department store.

Passersby coming and going stopped to watch as if they were watching a foreign spectacle.

The agricultural tricycles have the same shape, with big red flowers on the front and colorful banners hanging on both sides.

Two lines of large characters written separately.

Northern Machinery Company, Huimin Products Exhibition.

On the right is the Huimin agricultural loading tricycle.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the convoy arrived at the open space in front of the department store.

Lin Kaifeng jumped out of the car and ordered everyone to start setting up the exhibition.

The people from the company who followed him to the city were all employees who went to the Canton Fair last time.

He was also one of the first employees in the sales department.

Everyone had a lot of experience in setting up the exhibition.

In half an hour, more than a dozen brand-new agricultural tricycles were lined up one after another.

It immediately attracted a large number of people to watch.

Today is Sunday, and there are many people shopping.

Department stores are the busiest places in the city, with a large number of citizens coming to buy things every day.

More than a dozen cars that had never been seen before appeared in front of us, which was really eye-catching.
