When she was in Hong Kong, she would meet with her boudoir friends for afternoon tea on the weekend, but she didn't know if there was a suitable place in Beijing. In the search, she saw a cafe with a special name, called 1901. Netizens said it was a place where you can have afternoon tea and spend the afternoon. When she was idle, she went out and took a taxi. The cafe is very old and quiet. The large bookshelves on the second floor are full of books.
This atmosphere made Jiang Ruolan feel particularly warm after a busy week. She found a place by the window, ordered a cup of coffee, ordered a piece of cheesecake, grabbed a book on the shelf, and curled up on the soft sofa, planning to spend the afternoon like this.
After ten minutes, a man between the ages of 30 and 40 entered the second floor. The man's appearance is not so handsome, but he has a kind of confidence that Jiang Ruolan appreciates, as if the world is in his grasp. same. However, Jiang Ruolan felt that it was a bit of a pretense to appear in this cafe. According to a man's age, he should basically have a wife and children, and would not be at home with his family on weekends, but would run out to drink coffee by himself. What is the pretense
The man looked at the situation on the second floor, he chose a sofa near Jiang Ruolan and sat down, ordered a cup of 1901 coffee, and then took out a copy of "Real Estate Sales Practical", and started drinking coffee and reading a book.
Jiang Ruolan didn't want to talk to the man, but when he saw the book that the man was reading, he guessed that the man might also be in the real estate circle, so he became interested in chatting, and said to the man with a low smile, "You are in the real estate industry. ?"
The man didn't expect Jiang Ruolan to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with him. He was somewhat taken aback, and then he smiled politely and said, "Yes, what do you want?"
"It's nothing, that is, I am also in the real estate industry. Not long after I arrived in Beijing, I wanted to talk to you when I saw my peers. I would like to learn more about the real estate situation in Beijing. Don't disturb you
The man smiled and said, "Don't bother, I'm here to kill time too."
When Jiang Ruolan saw her, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation, but the man didn't mean to get closer to her, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart. Am I so bad? I can't attract the interest of the man in front of me. I still don't believe it.
Jiang Ruolan picked up the coffee cup and sat down opposite the man. Although the man was a little surprised, he did not show any resistance. He just smiled and said, "I listen to your accent, like Mandarin in Cantonese, from Hong Kong?"
Jiang Ruolan smiled and said, "Cantonese speak Mandarin in the same way."
"You won't be a Cantonese anymore. You have a very special temperament. Only people with British education have it. So I think you are a Hong Konger."
"You guessed it, so you know a lot of Hong Kong people?"
"Not many, just a few contacts at work."
Jiang Ruolan stretched out her hand and said, "Then you know one more, Jiang Ruolan, from Hong Kong."
The man smiled and shook hands with Jiang Ruolan and said, "Dong Jianguo, from Shanghai."
"Your name is so familiar, I seem to have heard someone tell me," Jiang Ruolan thoughtfully, immediately thought, "Are you Dong Jianguo, the general manager of Xihai Investment?"
Dong Jianguo didn't expect that the woman in front of him would know him: "Yes, I am Dong Jianguo. I don't know which real estate company you are in in Beijing?"
"I am the general manager of Xinlin Development Beijing Company, and I have just arrived in Beijing."
"Oh, I remember. Someone told me that Xinlin Development had invited a female general manager who thought she was very capable. It turned out to be the general manager of Dongxing Real Estate in Hong Kong. I didn't expect to see it here today."
"I can't say that I'm very capable. I was the one who was swept out by Dongxing Real Estate and came to Beijing to find a bite to eat."
Dong Jianguo laughed: "Mr. Jiang is really humble. You have created a brilliant record of 600 million daily sales in Dongxing Real Estate. This record is still unbeatable by no one in Hong Kong's real estate industry. You came to Beijing only because something happened with your family. It's just a change, not for food."
Jiang Ruolan didn't expect Dong Jianguo to be so familiar with her situation. It seems that Yu Qiping is not false. There must be some suspicion between Xihai Investment and Xinlin Development. Both sides regard each other as opponents, so Dong Jianguo will always be able to grasp it. The situation of the rival company.
Jiang Ruolan smiled bitterly and said: "You don't need to help me cover up. Some family changes have happened. In fact, I was betrayed by my husband. A divorced woman whose family is not well managed can not be said to be capable at all."
Jiang Ruolan repeatedly emphasized that she was a loser in this way, and she couldn't help being secretly vigilant. An opponent who brags about herself is not terrible, because he may not have the ability to brag. An opponent who is always humble is terrible.
Dong Jianguo couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ruolan again. Although the woman in front of him can't be said to be gorgeous, she is definitely a beauty in those southern regions of Hong Kong, and she still has the kind of weakness of a southern woman.
At this time, Jiang Ruolan said: "I'm very surprised. As the general manager of Xihai Investment, Mr. Dong still has the leisure and elegance to come to this cafe to spend time on weekends."
Dong Jianguo smiled and said: "My wife and children are in the United States and have no family to accompany. I am temporarily staying at a colleague’s house. This weekend, their young couple are at home. I think it’s more comfortable to come here for coffee, so I came here. Up."
Jiang Ruolan smiled: "It turned out to be like this. It seems that at least at this moment, we are all fallen into the world. I am also lonely, so I came to drink coffee."
At this moment, the two of them were really familiar with each other, and then they began to talk about some things about the real estate industry in Beijing. After chatting, they found that many of their views were very similar, and they felt a sense of sympathy.
Unconsciously, the whole afternoon passed, and they all felt that the intention was still unfinished. Dong Jianguo said: "I am very happy to meet you today. I want to treat you to dinner. Is it okay?"
Jiang Ruolan also wanted to continue talking with Dong Jianguo, but she was also very clear about the relationship between the two in the real world. Both of their companies are in Beijing, and their current strategies are basically the same. Even if there is no confrontation between their companies, they It will become an opponent in the future. And it is not appropriate for her to be so close to Yu Qiping when she first arrived in Beijing.
Jiang Ruolan smiled and said, "I don't want it anymore. You can call me when you want to come here again on the weekend."
Jiang Ruolan limited the meeting to a fixed occasion and a fixed time, which is to give Dong Jianguo a clear hint that it is not suitable for them to have too much contact. Dong Jianguo understood what Jiang Ruolan meant, and he secretly blamed himself for forgetting about it. How could he be so enthusiastic about Jiang Ruolan? Have you forgotten your wife and children in America
The two parties left each other's phone numbers, and then they went their separate ways.
On Monday, when the company met Fu Hua, Dong Jianguo told about his meeting with Jiang Ruolan. He spoke highly of Jiang Ruolan: "Is a very smart woman who has not been in Beijing for a long time. I understand very well. I have unique insights into the development of the real estate industry, and I am not a good opponent to deal with."
Fu Hua smiled and glanced at Dong Jianguo, and said: "Listening to what you mean, it seems that you like her?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Dong Jianguo said nervously. "My wife and I have a very good relationship. If she hears this, she will be angry."
It seems that his wife's status in Dong Jianguo's heart is still very high, even if he is not around, Dong Jianguo dare not make jokes about women casually.
At the same time, in the conference room of Xinlin Development Beijing Company, Jiang Ruolan was interviewing Li Dongsheng who was applying for a sales manager. The company’s human resources department had already interviewed Li Dongsheng once and believed that he was very suitable for the company’s requirements, so Jiang Ruolan was asked to conduct an interview with him. The final inspection to determine whether to hire this person.
Li Dongsheng is a 27-year-old man with a height of 1.78 meters, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is very sunny and handsome. Jiang Ruolan's first impression of him is very good. As a woman, she still prefers handsome men to be her subordinates. , At least it looks good.
Li Dongsheng is not a mere person. In front of Jiang Ruolan, he went from preliminary research on the market, to product market positioning, image positioning, marketing strategy and sales strategy, as well as all aspects of real estate sales. Integrating the content of his talks is basically a good real estate sales plan.
This allowed Jiang Ruolan to recognize him even more. She has many years of experience in real estate sales. She knows that what Li Dongsheng is talking about is not a general term, but can only be said with deep real estate experience. This is exactly the talent needed for Xinlin Development, which wants to achieve early results.
It’s just that Jiang Ruolan feels weird. Companies like Li Dongsheng can’t grab them. In theory, he should have been given a high-paying position in a real estate company. Why did he still apply for it? Jiang Ruolan looked at Li Dongsheng's information and found that Li Dongsheng's original company was also a small and well-known company in the industry, but she left her job a few days ago for unknown reasons. It turns out that the company is still reluctant to disclose the reason for his resignation.
Jiang Ruolan asked, "Can you tell me, why are you leaving your original company?"
Li Dongsheng smiled bitterly, and said, "Does this have to be said? I don't want to criticize the previous company."
Li Dongsheng seemed to be unspeakable, which made Jiang Ruolan even more curious. And Jiang Ruolan didn't dare to hire Li Dongsheng without knowing the reason for his resignation. She insisted: "This must be said, or how can I know what kind of employee you were before?"
