Su Zelin, the central bank's top bidder, is confident that he can win the bid. It's all about money. When New Century pays enough, it will definitely be the top bidder.
Su Zelin is determined to win the bid, and other companies in this era will not bid at any cost.
But it’s only November now, and the bidding for the Spring Festival Gala is not that fast.
Before that, there is a more important task, which is to open direct-operated stores in major provinces and cities.
Otherwise, if Xinshiji sponsors the Spring Festival Gala and everyone has heard of the name, but they can't even find a store in their own city, it would be very embarrassing and the money would be wasted.
There are still three months until New Year's Eve, but that's enough time.
To open a direct-operated store, including decoration, it can be completed in two months at most, and if you are fast, it can only take one and a half months.
The biggest problem before was talent. To open so many directly-operated stores, we needed a lot of regional managers, and these people had to be able to take charge of their own affairs.
This problem has been solved. After demonstrating its strong financial resources and benefits through the "super headquarters" plan, the company does not even need to take the initiative to poach talents. Countless talents will come to invest voluntarily. It is naturally no problem to recruit regional managers in major provinces and cities.
In addition, we can also explore internally. Many elite employees at the current headquarters have no problem serving as regional managers.
The first internal candidate Su Zelin found was Liu Wanyin.
Although Xiao Liu is very young, she has followed me for four years and has learned a lot from me. She is also very hardworking and has long grown into a strong woman.
"Wanyin, the national strategy for the new century requires the appointment of a group of regional leaders for each province. I would like to give you a difficult task. If possible, you will be the leader of Central Plains!"
Liu Wanyin is from Shangqiu, and this city belongs to Central Plains, so Su Zelin wants to arrange for her to return to her hometown to develop the market.
"The person in charge of Zhongyuan, can I?"
Liu Wanyin was a little caught off guard.
She was not afraid of challenges, but it all happened too suddenly.
"Of course you can. You are one of my most capable assistants. I know your abilities better than anyone else. If I think you can do it, then you definitely can do it!"
The gangster paused here before continuing.
"Let me make it clear first, your job won't be so comfortable if you leave the headquarters!"
"As a regional manager, I have to run around all day, traveling between cities in the province, and occasionally I have to go back to the headquarters."
"However, this is also the best opportunity for you! The income of the regional manager is linked to performance. As long as the performance is not particularly bad, the commission and bonus will be very high!"
"Remember what I told you before? As long as you are willing to stay in New Century, earning a million a year is not a dream. The regional manager is your chance to make your dream come true. As long as you develop the urban area of Zhongyuan, I guarantee that you will be one of the people who earn a million a year within ten years!"
The gangster is not just making empty promises.
Ten years later, it is no surprise that New Century has grown to a very large size. If not the industry leader, it is at least one of the top few.
At that time, if a regional manager did not earn even a million dollars a year, he would be considered a failure!
After all, this person is in charge of the business of an entire province!
"Okay, Boss, since you trust me, I will go to be the person in charge of Zhongyuan!"
Liu Wanyin agreed without much hesitation.
First of all, she came from a poor family and had been used to hardship since childhood, so she was not afraid of hardship.
Moreover, Su Zelin had cultivated her for so long, and she didn't want to disappoint Hunzi.
In addition, I am from Shangqiu, and developing the market in the Central Plains is close to home, so I can go home to visit my family occasionally.
In the end, this is a really great opportunity.
Countless elite staff members at the headquarters are vying for the positions of regional managers in various provinces.
This is an absolutely popular position. Not only does it have real power, but it also provides promising future income. It only becomes available at the time when the national market is being opened up in the new century. If you miss it, it will be difficult to get it again.
Unless a regional manager fails to perform his job well or quits, the vacancy will be filled by others.
"Haha, very good, in that case, I will reserve this spot for you!"
Su Zelin was very satisfied, and Xiao Liu's decision was also within his expectations.
Unless you are a person who particularly likes a comfortable life, there is no one who does not want to be the regional head of a province. There are a lot of elite employees queuing up or recommending themselves. Only because I particularly value Liu Wanyin will I appoint her directly.
"You have to prepare as soon as possible. We will leave for Central Plains soon. I will arrange some employees from the headquarters to be your subordinates. You will be the boss in Central Plains in the future. Manage this team well. We don't have much time. New Century may be the title sponsor of the Spring Festival Gala. That is a great opportunity to make a name for ourselves. Before New Year's Eve, I want to see our direct stores open in every city in Central Plains. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes, Boss, I will definitely live up to my mission!"
Liu Wanyin's tone was firm.
The girl who used to be socially anxious has now become a confident and strong woman.
"Okay, then the Central Plains region is left to you!"
Su Zelin patted her shoulder and said, "If you encounter any problems over there, you can always come to me!"
In addition to Luo Xi, Hunzi also dotes on this young deputy and treats him as his favorite disciple.
"Well, thank you, boss!"
There was a gleam of excitement in Xiao Liu's eyes.
Now she is not afraid of challenges, she even likes challenges.
After Liu Wanyin left, Su Zelin suddenly thought of something.
By the way, there is another person, who is also my classmate. He is in a very difficult situation now. Maybe I can take this opportunity to make some arrangements for him.
Longyuan, Yinchang City.
“Bang!”
A young man dragged his tired body into an old house.
"Yanbin, I'm back."
Pan Yun, who was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, wearing an apron, heard the noise and went out to greet her.
Liu Yanbin came to Yinchang for himself, but was unable to find a good job.
This small city has a strong sense of localism. Unless you are a top student, it is difficult for an outsider to get a job in a unit or state-owned enterprise through application. The good jobs are all occupied by locals with good backgrounds.
After sending his resume to many companies without any success, Liu Yanbin finally had to work as a worker in a factory.
This factory requires overtime all day long, with an average working time of more than ten hours, which is very tiring, but the salary is less than two thousand yuan.
There were some easier jobs, but the wages were too low. In the end, Liu Yanbin chose this factory just to earn more money.
Pan Yun's mother fell seriously ill when she was a junior in college. After the operation, she still needed frequent re-examinations and follow-up drug treatments, which used up all the family savings. She also needed someone to take care of her daily life. This is why Pan Yun had to return to Yinchang.
Fortunately, Liu Yanbin was a good boy and had nothing to say about her. Not only did he follow her to this poor little city and help her take care of Pan's mother, but he also gave all the money he earned from working hard every month to his girlfriend to pay for her mother's medical treatment.
Because of this, Liu Yanbin quickly gained the approval of Pan Yun's parents, who regarded him as their future son-in-law and let him live in their old house, which also saved some rent costs.
"Yanbin, you've worked hard!"
Seeing her boyfriend looking so haggard, Pan Yun couldn't help but feel distressed.
"It's okay. I'm so young and in good health. This is nothing."
Liu Yanbin grinned: "Wife, don't worry, as long as we work hard, everything will be fine!"
"Well, everything will be fine."
Pan Yun's eyes were a little moist.
My mother is unfortunate because she has this serious illness.
Fortunately, however, I met Liu Yanbin.
He could have had a better future, but he traveled thousands of miles to work in his hometown, and did not despise his mother or regard her as a burden.
If many men encountered this situation, they would break up and stay away from their girlfriend impatiently. Who would be willing to risk his own life and suffer with his girlfriend
I met Liu Yanbin at the freshman reception that year. He was just a childish boy, but now he has become a man.
At this time, Liu Yanbin's cell phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and was a little surprised to see who was calling.
Squad monitor
After graduation, Su Zelin was the person in the Finance Management Class who contacted him the most. He would call every once in a while to ask about Liu Yanbin's recent situation, because Hunzi also knew that this boy's situation was rather special.
Among the entire Finance Management Class 1, Liu Yanbin’s situation should be the most difficult.
Others either join units, state-owned enterprises, or companies.
Even Zeng Kaiping, who always said when he was in school that he would go to work in a factory to screw screws if he couldn't find a good job after graduation, got a job in a very leisurely small unit arranged by his family.
In fact, the only person who actually worked in the factory was Liu Yanbin.
He pressed the answer button: "Hello, squad leader."
"Yanbin, are you off work?"
Su Zelin's voice came from the other end of the microphone.
"I got off. I just got back to my wife's house!"
"Then is it convenient for me to talk to you about something?"
"It's convenient. Go ahead."
"It's like this. Our company is going to expand into the national market. We will soon open at least one directly-operated store in every city in every province, including Yinchang. If you are willing, I hope you can be the store manager of Yinchang."
Su Zelin didn't waste any time and quickly stated his purpose.
"Store manager?"
Liu Yanbin was surprised and delighted: "Really? Are you sure?"
"Haha, would I joke with you about this? Of course I'm serious!"
Su Zelin smiled.
"But I don't have any work experience in the digital industry."
Although Su Zelin's move was a timely help, the better the gangster treated him, the more Liu Yanbin could not cheat him. After all, the fate of a store manager was related to its ability.
"It doesn't matter. Experience can be accumulated slowly. When I first became the store manager of the Caiyuan store, I didn't have any experience. The same is true for Liu Wanyin, but Xiao Liu will soon be the regional manager of Zhongyuan. Just because you dared to work in Yinchang for Pan Yun, I think a small store manager is nothing to you!"
Su Zelin asked his old classmate to be the store manager of Yinchang, which was somewhat intended to help him, but it was not mindless nepotism, but was a well-considered decision.
Liu Yanbin was an excellent student in school, with a quick mind and hard work. If he had chosen to work in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu, with his diploma from the School of Finance and his performance in school, he could have easily been hired by any company, whether it was a state-owned or private enterprise. His difficult situation in Yinchang was caused by localism, not because of his own incompetence.
Moreover, after this boy went to Yinchang, he suffered a lot but never backed down. In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. When I called him last time to ask about his recent situation, Liu Yanbin did not show any regrets in his tone and was full of optimism about life.
After experiencing this ordeal, Liu Yanbin will cherish the hard-won opportunity even more. Hunzi feels that he can work harder and do better than many store managers.
So Su Zelin gave him a chance.
If Liu Yanbin is indeed not the right candidate, Hunzi would not help him like this. After all, public is public and private is private, and they must be clearly distinguished.
"Okay, squad leader, I'll be on standby anytime!"
Since Su Zelin was so optimistic about him and he really needed this job, Liu Yanbin naturally would not refuse.
"It will be soon. I will have the person in charge of Longyuan District contact you tomorrow. He will then tell you what you need to do to open a store!"
"Okay, then I will resign from the factory as soon as possible! And, squad leader, thank you!"
Liu Yanbin was moved.
This was not the first time Su Zelin had helped him.
When he first entered school, he fought with the athletes for himself.
After graduation, he still cares and takes care of me.
You know, as the operations director of New Century, Su Zelin must be very busy on weekdays, especially since New Century wants to enter the national market, it is no exaggeration to say that he is very busy.
However, he was still thinking about his own affairs.
In fact, with his current identity, he is just an insignificant little person.
I was so lucky to have such a good class monitor in college.
"Haha, no need, just do your best, that's all, bye!"
"Goodbye, squad leader!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yanbin looked excited.
"What's wrong, Yanbin, what did Su Zelin say to you?"
Pan Yun was a little strange.
"The squad leader told me that New Century is preparing to enter the national market, and every province and city will soon have to open at least one directly-operated store, including Yinchang. He also asked me if I wanted to be the manager of the Yinchang store!"
Liu Yanbin told her the good news with joy.
"real?"
Pan Yun was instantly happy.
"Yes, it's true!" Liu Yanbin nodded: "He will let the person in charge of Longyuan contact me tomorrow!"
"Very good!"
Pan Yun almost cried for joy.
She naturally knew how important this opportunity was to her boyfriend.
"Wife, see, I told you, everything will be fine!"
Liu Yanbin clenched his fists and suddenly felt that he had greater hope in life: "I have to work hard and live up to the expectations of the squad leader. I have to make the Yinchang store a success, and then we can make more money!"
"Well, you can do it!"
While Pan Yun was cheering for her boyfriend, she was also full of gratitude to Su Zelin.
Although this boy was quite romantic, his roommate Tao Min chose to move away to Shenghai after graduation because of this. She didn't dare to stay with him all the time for fear of getting trapped in him.
But he is really loyal to his friends!
