The meteor shower did not end completely until two o'clock in the morning. A total of 1,038 meteors fell. It was a very rare thousand-star meteor shower. The entire urban area of Nanjin and some nearby small towns were turned into ruins and desolate land.
It's just that people have long been accustomed to such disasters, and they began to work on post-disaster reconstruction as soon as the meteor shower ended.
Since the evacuation work before the meteor shower fell was completed very well, not many civilians died in this disaster. On the contrary, many heroes who came to "rescue" sacrificed a lot.
There will naturally be memorial services for dead heroes, but heroes will sacrifice themselves in every disaster. The first time people will cry bitterly, the second time people will be sad, but the third time, the fourth time... countless times. After that, people became numbly accustomed to the ending of heroic sacrifice, and even thought it was a matter of course.
When heroism becomes a profession and the norm, its nobility and greatness will gradually dim and be forgotten.
Therefore, the hero's memorial service is destined to be a routine event that has been hastily concluded. In sharp contrast, it is a grand hero's celebration banquet. Leaders of many countries are present in person to greet the heroes who have killed the starry sky beasts. , a press conference was held as usual at the celebration banquet, which provided a lot of hot material for the news in the next few days.
Living heroes enjoy honor and admiration, but the names of dead heroes will soon disappear from the hero rankings, disappear from all kinds of news and information, and disappear from people's vision and even memory.
"For heroes, this is the best of times and the worst of times. For businessmen, it is the best of times."
Xia Lin stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the crowds of people in the street from a tall building, with a subtle light shining in his eyes and a pleasant smile on his lips.
"Dong, dong, dong." Suddenly, the door rang three times very regularly.
"Come in." Xia Lin didn't turn his head. From the knock on the door, he already knew who was knocking.
"boss!"
The person who entered the door was a young woman wearing a white-collar uniform. She called out respectfully and walked behind Xia Lin with light steps. She held a stack of documents in her hand and whispered: "Last week's performance report." Out."
Xia Lin said "Hmm", turned around, took the stack of documents, and read them under the sunlight. He could read very quickly, almost ten lines at a time, so he looked through the documents as if he were counting banknotes.
The young female assistant didn't dare to breathe at the side, and her delicate face was full of anxiety. The man in front of her was about the same age as her, but he was already the general manager of a listed branch. She had fully seen his tactics and methods.
After Xia Lin turned to the last page, she adjusted the frame of her glasses. The lenses reflected the sunlight and blocked the fluctuations in her eyes, leaving no emotion on her expressionless face.
"Do you think [Gaia] has really declined, or is my leadership insufficient?"
Xia Lin turned to look at the female assistant, with an approachable smile on her lips, as if she was asking a simple question like what to eat for lunch.
"Your leadership skills are beyond doubt!" the female assistant replied hurriedly.
"Oh? You mean [Gaia] has declined? That's why there isn't even one new gold-level player this week? That's why the store's average winning rate is less than 40%? So last weekend Only your branch will be ranked last in the qualifying competition?”
Xia Lin said strong questions in an almost calm tone, and finally chuckled: "So you think everything is because of the decline of [Gaia]? So setting up the branch in [Gaia] was a mistake from the beginning. ,Yeah?"
The female assistant felt extremely aggrieved and thought, since you know everything, why are you embarrassing me, a small employee? Do you want any other answers from me? Isn’t the decline of [Gaia] well known? If you set up a branch in [Gaia], the performance will be good!
The female assistant kept complaining internally, but she did not dare to show the slightest expression of dissatisfaction on her face. Although Xia Lin was young and promising, she was forcibly assigned to a branch by the headquarters because of insufficient qualifications. The performance of this branch affected the headquarters' final evaluation of Xia Lin. . Last week's performance was so unsatisfactory, Xia Lin may be holding back a lot of anger now! She must be careful now.
"No... no, it's all... our fault!" The female assistant turned her eyes in a half circle and couldn't think of anything good to say, so she had to use the most old-fashioned method - taking the blame.
"Haha, it seems you are not stupid enough. If you can realize your mistake, you can still save yourself." Xia Lin let go of her hand, sneered and turned to face the floor-to-ceiling window, leaving the female assistant with an aloof back.
The female assistant was dumbfounded. In the eyes of the boss, she and the employees had been taking the blame!
"I have always emphasized one thing. Customers in the virtual competition industry cannot wait. They must go in person to promote, induce, and win over, and use all means to turn them into customers. Even if they are a pedestrian passing by, you should take the trouble to tell them Do you understand the importance of virtual competition to them? You have to find a way to make them addicted and unable to extricate themselves!"
Xia Lin looked at the pedestrians passing by on the street. Some people turned around and entered the high-rise building, while others walked out of the street without even taking a look. This is the difference between customers and non-customers. It is obvious and ruthless, but And there is endless vitality. There is only one word difference between non-customers and customers. Maybe a word of persuasion can make the word "non" disappear without a trace.
"This is the age of heroes, but it is also the age of competition. Some people look down on virtual competition and believe that real combat can improve personal abilities. However, this is all ignorant prejudice. Virtual competition is clearly the fastest way for humans to improve their combat skills. Way! Do you understand? We must try our best to eliminate people's prejudices against virtual competition, let those ignorant non-customers understand the significance of virtual competition, let them become our customers, let them be addicted to virtual competition, and let them become performance orders Perfect data!”
At the end of Xia Lin's words, he could no longer maintain his calmness, and his tone seemed a little excited.
"Ming... got it!"
The female assistant hurriedly answered, but she was about to cry in her heart. She had heard these words several times. The staff also followed Xia Lin's words. They did nothing every day but went out to recruit people. They all looked like pyramid schemes. , has almost become a pimp, isn’t that enough
"Haha, do you understand? After such a long time, the top three newcomers this time are still non-customers. You are so lazy."
Xia Lin sneered and said: "I have said it many times, those three newcomers are the most important resources. No matter what the price is paid, no matter what means are used, we must make them our loyal customers, especially that Shi Xiao Bai! However, eleven days have passed, not to mention Shi Xiaobai, you can’t even handle the other two newcomers in the top three, you really let me down!"
"Yes... I'm sorry!"
The female assistant was about to cry. She didn't even know what Shi Xiaobai looked like. His identity information was extremely confidential. He seemed to have disappeared from Gaia. How could he win over him? In addition, the two newcomers are also full of personality. They will say nothing and cannot be persuaded at all!
Although the female assistant complained in her heart, she could only admit her mistake honestly. She was just a small employee. If she dared to contradict the boss, she would just take the blame!
"If the apology was useful, the water in the Huangpu River would not be red."
Xia Lin's words were cold and her expression was even colder. She suddenly pointed out the French window and said, "I'll give you one last chance to turn that person into a customer, and I'll forgive you just once."
The female assistant hurriedly took a step forward and looked through the floor-to-ceiling window in the direction Xia Lin was pointing. She saw a young man on the street, moving sideways like a crab. The young man had already passed the store door, but he turned around after three steps. A look of reluctance.
"This person is between a non-customer and a customer. He needs a push from us. Do you understand? If one push is not enough, push him twice. If persuasion doesn't work, use deception. If deception doesn't work, force him. If force doesn't work, force him. , you can force him in even if you take off your clothes and shout molestation!"
Xia Lin said fiercely, "This is your last chance!"
The female assistant quickly tightened her clothes and cursed in her heart. You can imagine even taking off your clothes and shouting about indecency. You are already going crazy!
Through the window, I saw that the figure that moved like a crab was about to leave the street. The female assistant did not dare to delay and quickly ran out like a duck on her high heels.
Crab boy, stop now!
The female assistant is going crazy too!
"It's not easy for us."
Xia Lin looked at the female assistant's back and sighed softly.
