Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

At noon, the head office received the news and urgently delivered 500 pagers to each branch, finally alleviating the urgent problem.

In the afternoon, as soon as the Tsim Sha Tsui store opened, customers flocked in, fearing that they would be late and would not be able to buy the products.

The first customer, who was wearing a big gold chain, was even richer and threw the card directly on the table.

"Miss, please, I need two pagers, and I'd like to recharge each of them for one year's service fee. I'll pay by credit card. Thank you!"

"I'm sorry, sir. Due to the severe shortage of supply, in order to take care of other customers, our store has implemented a purchase limit. Each person can only buy one."

"Miss, are you kidding me? I have plenty of money, why don't you sell it to me?"

"I'm sorry, sir, this is the rule of the head office, please understand."

Faced with the salesperson's repeated explanations, the customer could only say with regret: "One is better than nothing."

In fact, he was a scalper. Through his observations in the morning, he was absolutely sure that as long as he could grab the tickets, he would make money.

At this time, the situation in other branches was also extremely hot.

Anyway, pagers are still selling well...

At around 3:00 p.m., Mr. Huo was leisurely drinking afternoon tea in a luxurious villa in Happy Valley.

At this time, Master Huo rushed in from outside in a hurry, without even taking a breath, and said.

"Dad, good news. Pagers are selling like hot cakes. Call the mainland and ask them to send tens of thousands more. Hurry."

Hearing this, Mr. Huo frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with his son's behavior.

"Sit down and be patient. How many units have you sold? Tell me the exact number first."

"Dad, the exact number is still unclear, but the inventory is almost half gone."

"what?"

Shocked, Mr. Huo stopped asking questions and walked towards the study...

Master Huo couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw the old man running so fast.

I was thinking to myself, you just complained that I was impatient, but aren’t you the same?

……

Time quickly came to the evening, and as it was almost time to get off work, Sun Zhengguo began to collect the drawings.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

"Strange, who would be calling at this time?"

Without having time to think about it, Sun Zhengguo picked up the phone. Before he could introduce himself, he heard Director Yu's voice coming from the phone.

"Comrade Zhengguo! I'm Yu Changyuan, and there's an emergency."

"Director Yu, go ahead."

"I just got news from Hong Kong Island that pagers are selling like hot cakes, and they're in a hurry to get the goods. I wonder how much stock you have left?"

"in stock?"

Sun Zhengguo recalled that the inventory here should not be much, at most a few thousand units. The southern branch may have some goods, but he doesn't know the exact quantity?

"Director Yu, please don't worry. The northern branch doesn't have much inventory, but the southern branch should still have some. Can I check first?"

"Okay, you check first. I'll go to the research institute now."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Zhengguo immediately called Chen Zhonghua and asked him to notify the branch factory to suspend get off work and ask several leaders to come over.

Then he called the Shanghai branch and found Zhang Yucheng...

Soon, Li Shengli and the other two came to the office. "Director Sun, what's going on?"

"Oh! Please take a seat first. Director Yu will be here soon. I heard him say that the pagers are selling well and he is urging us to ship them out!"

When Li Shengli and the other two heard the news, they all smiled.

"This is a good thing, hahaha! Sit down." Zhang Huaibei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were no mistakes, it would be fine.

After the three of them sat down, Sun Zhengguo began to check the inventory.

"Wei Min, how many pagers do you have left?"

"Director, we had some surplus some time ago, plus the production during this period, there are still more than 5,000 units in total."

Sure enough, this number was not much different from what Sun Zhengguo had imagined.

If the southern branch is included, the number of units that can be produced now is only more than 20,000.

This little bit of supply is definitely not enough. It seems we have to work overtime.

After they sat there for a while, Director Yu hurried over.

"Director Yu."

Seeing several people standing up to greet him, Director Yu put his hands down and signaled, "Everyone, please feel free to sit down and talk."

"Let me first inform you of the situation. We just started selling it in Hong Kong today. Unexpectedly, in less than a day, we sold nearly 1700 units, with sales exceeding million Hong Kong dollars. We can say that this is a great success."

"what?"

As soon as Director Yu finished speaking, several people in the room stood up again, their faces flushed with excitement.

"Is this true? That's awesome."

"Comrades, let's applaud to celebrate the great sales of our pagers."

"Clap clap clap!"

After a while of excitement, Sun Zhengguo had a question, "Director Yu, there are only 5,000 units, how come they sold for so much money?"

"Hahaha!" Director Yu laughed.

"Comrade Zhengguo! I had the same question at first, but then I heard from the comrades at the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency that anyone who bought a pager would have to pay a year's service fee in advance. Isn't this what's happening?"

"I see."

Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that the people of Hong Kong Island are really rich!

You know, this year's service fee has exceeded the price of the pager. It seems that they will have to collect a lot of money in the future.

Next, several people held a meeting on inventory and production issues.

It was finally agreed that all existing inventory would be urgently sent to Hong Kong Island.

In addition, the North and South branches opened an additional production line, and the workers worked overtime and worked hard for three months.

The next day, as soon as he got to work, Sun Zhengguo called Section Chief Cai and Section Chief Yao from the branch's publicity department.

"Chief Cai, Chief Yao, I called you here today because I want your two departments to work together to formulate a 100-day production plan and publicity. I hope you will work together to complete it."

"Director, make sure the mission is completed."

Because Section Chief Cai was one level higher in rank, he took the initiative to step forward and respond.

After he finished speaking, Section Chief Yao continued, "Director, we will definitely cooperate with Section Chief Cai to complete this mission."

"Hmm~"

Sun Zhengguo nodded, then took out a document and handed it to Section Chief Cai.

“Remember, although the slogan is good, we can’t just talk nonsense. Here are some reward plans we have drawn up, and you should also focus on promoting them.

These include overtime pay, food supply, and corresponding rewards for outstanding individuals and teams, so the workers cannot complain."

Section Chief Cai took the information, looked at it carefully, and then smiled.

"Director, this reward is really good. It makes me want to work overtime. For our publicity, it means there is no pressure at all."

As he spoke, Section Chief Cai handed the information to Section Chief Yao beside him.

Section Chief Yao took the information and took a look at it. After a moment, his expression was similar to Section Chief Cai's.

"Is it any wonder?"
