Chapter 707
“What, you’re going to hold a recruitment meeting?”
Inside the general manager’s office of Tengfei Pharmaceutical Factory, Han Zhong looked at Ji Feng in surprise and asked in some confusion.
Ji Feng nodded slightly and smiled, “That’s right, it’s to hold a business recruitment meeting. In fact, strictly speaking, it’s not really a recruitment meeting, it’s just inviting all those distributors from our pharmaceutical branch to come over, and at the same time inviting some other interested and reputable distributors to buy our Kang Yuan slimming powder and promote it from the channel side, without going down the hospital road.”
After knowing the relationship between Ma Dewang and that vice president Hu Yigui, as well as the former deputy director of the Drug Administration Huang Zhengfa and others, Ji Feng was relieved at the cold treatment he had experienced in the hospital.
He had sent his brother-in-law and brother-in-law to prison, so it was strange that these guys would be happy to treat him.
However, the relief is not enough, but Ji Feng cannot delay the promotion of the slimming powder because of this matter.
The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
So Ji Feng came up with this idea of holding a recruitment meeting to promote through channels!
“Why did you suddenly remember to hold a recruitment meeting? Did something go wrong?” Han Zhong immediately realised that there must be a problem, otherwise, with Ji Feng’s character, he would definitely not have suddenly changed his mind.
Han Zhong knew Ji Feng’s character very well. Although Ji Feng seemed to be very kind, and he would usually say yes to whatever others said in terms of small matters, once he had decided on something, it would be very difficult for others to change his decision, not to mention changing his mind. However, this time, Ji Feng suddenly changed his mind on his own, it would be strange if there were no problems in between.
“There are indeed some problems, and they are tricky.” Ji Feng smiled and told what happened to him at the hospital and what he had learned, before finally saying, “As long as Ma Dewang and that vice president brother-in-law of his are still in Jiangzhou, Kang Yuan Slim Powder should not be promoted in the First People’s Hospital, unless all those doctors in the hospital are replaced.”
Han Zhong smiled at once, “That is indeed impossible.”
“Yes, if Second Brother and I dared to do that, perhaps Second Uncle wouldn’t do anything to me, but he would definitely break Second Brother’s legs, so it’s better for me not to drag him into it!” Ji Feng harrumphed and said, “That’s why I decided to hold a recruitment meeting at the pharmaceutical factory!”
“That’s not a bad way to go, but the effect won’t be quick, unless the effect of the slimming powder is really miraculous, then it’s far better to invest a sum of money in advertising and use it to drive sales, what do you think?” Han Zhong suggested.
Ji Feng shook his head, “No, I don’t have enough money in my hand, I don’t have spare money for advertising now, if I take out a loan, it would be possible, but it’s too risky, and that way is too aggressive, in fact, the effect of advertising may not be as good as imagined, especially after the domestic market of health care products and weight loss pills has been ruined by those miscellaneous drugs, the effect of advertising is even worse up.”
“But I have the money in my hands!” Han Zhong said, “This factory is originally yours, I can only be considered as your big steward, if you want to use the money, just draw it directly from the account of the main factory.”
Ji Feng shook his head slightly and said, “Do you remember what I said last time? The business as well as the funds of the main factory and the branch factories should be separated, using the main factory to feed the branch factories, it’s not impossible, but it’s easy to leave behind …… It’s better to go the safe way.”
“Well!”
Han Zhong deliberated for a moment before he nodded and said, “If the effect of the slimming powder is really good, it would be a good way to try to spread the goods first through the channel before promoting it.”
“The effect is naturally not in doubt, I’m just asking you, is this method feasible?” For Han Zhong’s talent in business, there was no need for anything in to be confirmed, perhaps Han Zhong had not personally operated any of the business aspect cases, however, being able to manage the pharmaceutical factory in an orderly manner, coupled with the cooperation with the Tianyao Group without a single mistake, this was enough to prove Han Zhong’s excellence.
Therefore, when Ji Feng decided to hold a recruitment meeting, the first thing that came to his mind was to discuss with Han Zhong.
The most important thing for a person is to have self-awareness, to know how much weight he has, but also to be able to accept good advice and listen to other people’s opinions, only then can he keep growing.
This is what Ji Feng is doing now, he is not as good as Han Zhong in business, then he will dive in and ask for advice and learn from Han Zhong, when he encounters such problems again in the future, he will naturally have experience.
“OK!”
Han Zhong nodded slightly and said, “It’s just that at the beginning, it might be a bit difficult, because after all, this is a new drug, not everyone can accept it, and those agents and channel sellers, all of them are human, if they don’t see the benefits, they won’t help you to promote it hard.”
Ji Feng nodded thoughtfully and said hesitantly, “Han Zhong, you said
“That’s not a bad idea, but don’t use it until it’s absolutely necessary.” Han Zhong immediately shook his head.
“Why?” Ji Feng couldn’t help but be stunned and asked with a smile.
The conversation between the two was all relatively relaxed, which was probably what made the relationship between boss and employee different from that of other company factories, without that atmosphere of official business, let alone that high and mighty doings of the boss and the calculating jingoism of the employees in private.
If you fatten them up and make their appetites difficult, it will be much harder to get them to do their jobs. Moreover, those people will also collude with each other, hey, when the time comes, you’ll have a headache.”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh: “This is really …… Everything is not as good as you think ah, then okay, I will first give up half of the profits, first a small-scale promotion, when the promotion is over, say the rest …… In addition, I intend to take back all the slimming powder from the First People’s Hospital, compensate for the breach of contract, and since that side is not doing it anymore, then I will simply cut it off, and I will not deal with the First People’s Hospital in the future.”
He knew very well that as long as the First People’s Hospital had Ma Dewang and that vice president Hu Yigui, his slimming powder would not be able to promote out, instead of that, it would be better to cut off the relationship and focus on other channels first.
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these. Think about it, the First Hospital is after all the largest hospital in Jiangzhou, since we are in the pharmaceutical industry, there will definitely be times when we will deal with them in the future, if you go too far now ……”
“They’re even more excessive!” Ji Feng coldly snorted.
“…… Alright then, or we’ll do it this way, if you don’t put much slimming powder in the First Hospital, then don’t collect it and we don’t want the profits, but if you put a lot, then take it all back, what do you think?” Han Zhong took a compromise approach.
Ji Feng nodded without hesitation, “Just do as you say. I don’t want those slimming powders that were put in the First Hospital!”
After all, it was the first promotion, Ji Feng didn’t put a lot there, the whole total amount added up to only enough for twenty people to take, moreover, if it was divided evenly among twenty people, everyone would still not be able to achieve the expected weight loss effect, because Ji Feng originally intended to send the medicine to the hospital once a week, but this was only the first week, and this kind of problem occurred, so Ji Feng didn’t send much of the slimming powder. Even if they all don’t want it, it’s not much of a loss.
If we just count the raw materials and labor costs, it would only be a few tens of thousands of dollars. Ji Feng coldly snorted in his heart, “Just think of it as feeding the dogs!”
“So be it, I’ll ask Yang Dezhao to hold a recruiting meeting as soon as possible and lay out the goods first!”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but scratch his head, “There’s a shortage of people now, the pharmaceutical branch is now managed by Yang Dezhao alone, he’s gradually getting older and can’t be busy at all, otherwise I wouldn’t be there all day …… I’m not sure if there are any suitable people that you can recommend for me, Han Zhong. I mean, on the main factory side, are there any talents?”
Han Zhong dumbly laughed: “Ji Feng, you’re eating back the gra*s. It was you who transferred all the competent talents from the branch factories to the main factory side, and now they have just completely adapted, and you want to transfer people again ……”
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the people that you’ve been working with. As for your side, it goes without saying, now the framework has been built into, as long as it is not a fool, came to be able to back driven to keep up with the pace, will do a good job!”
“You don’t want all those people, do you?” Han Zhong asked in amazement.
Ji Feng deliberated for a moment before saying, “How about this, you transfer Tian Nan to me, this woman is definitely a good hand in accounting, my side is now only Yang Jun a finance, it is very strained. The company’s sales department is full of talented people, including Liang Chunhui and Xu Yuan, who are all capable of holding up. As for the management side well ……”
“In terms of management, I can recommend a talent to you.” Han Zhong said.
“Who?!” Ji Feng asked.
“Xu Yuan!” Han Zhong slowly spat out a name.
“What?”
Ji Feng was stunned, “Who did you just say?”
“Xu Yuan!” Han Zhong repeated again, “You should have seen that Xu Yuan, although she looks a bit …… dusty air, in fact that is just the result of rolling around in society, it is not easy for a woman to struggle outside. Of course, what she has done before is beyond our control, but her ability is still quite good, and I see that her ability is definitely not below Liang Chunhui!”
Chapter 708
“Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan ……” A flirtatious and S*xy figure, as well as that delicate face, came to Ji Feng’s mind.
For this Xu Yuan, Ji Feng’s impression could not be described as deep, this woman dared to speak and act, even when facing that old rascal Wang Zhiqian, she did not flinch and fought for Liang Chunhui. Only, we don’t know how capable she is yet, but since Han Zhong can look at it, it means that Xu Yuan must be good.
He nodded slightly and said, “Fine, since you said her abilities are good, let’s give it a try.”
“Remember to call me when the recruitment meeting starts, so I can advise you from the side.” Han Zhong said with a smile.
Ji Feng nodded and smiled, “Let’s set it for the day after tomorrow, anyway, there are only a few salesmen at the branch factory, two days is definitely enough time for them to prepare, and I can also prepare on my side.”
Han Zhong asked, “Or should we discuss what to do the day after tomorrow?”
“Of course we should discuss, you’re an expert in this area!” Ji Feng laughed, “Not only do we have to discuss, you also have to help me formulate a rough outline, otherwise, I’m no match for that bunch of crooked businessmen.”
……
“Boss!”
“Boss!”
“Boss ……”
……
Tian Nan, the finance accountant, Han Rui Chao, the sales person, and Xu Yuan, the team leader of the sales department of the main factory, stood in front of Ji Feng and opened their mouths to call out.
“Good, good!” Ji Feng looked at the few old acquaintances standing in front of him and couldn’t help but smile slightly, “Letting you all go from this big, red-hot factory and back to my small one, you’re all still happy, right?”
“Gladly!” Several people laughed at once.
“To be honest, don’t be inconsistent, otherwise, you won’t work well when you get to my place, I might as well not transfer you there!” Ji Feng laughed.
“Definitely not, boss, you can rest a*sured.” Tian Nan, who was dressed in a professional outfit, said with a smile, her plump figure, with black-framed gla*ses, still had such intellectual beauty.
“Yes, it’s all the boss’s property anyway, it’s the same wherever you work.” Han Rui Chao smiled and said, he was most grateful to Ji Feng because it was Ji Feng who helped him out when he was in trouble, in the past when he first joined the pharmaceutical factory, he bumped into a brash guy from the original sales department of the factory, named Shang Qionggen.
At that time, this Shang Qionggen made Han Rui Chao uncomfortable at the dinner table, and it was Ji Feng who reprimanded him and drove him away, and the latter threatened to take revenge on the pharmaceutical factory and on Ji Feng.
Although until now, that Shang Qionggen has not come to retaliate, it seems as if he has disappeared, but Han Rui Chao deeply remembered this matter in his heart. If he had lost his job at that time, he would really have to sleep on the street, and he would not have the high income he has now.
Therefore, Han Rui Chao did not care where he worked now, but only whether he followed Ji Feng.
Ji Feng seemed to have sensed his feelings, smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, “You can’t say this nonsense, otherwise, Mr. Han will be angry, and in the future, even if you want to come back, I’m afraid he won’t want you!”
Han Zhong smiled next to him and didn’t say anything, while the others couldn’t help but smile faintly.
Han Rui Chao laughed, “Impossible, General Manager Han only looks at whether people are capable or not, not whether others say bad things about him, haha ……”
“OK, do a good job after you return to the branch factory, you only have one day to get familiar with it, it’s just the same old jobs anyway, it shouldn’t be difficult.” The most difficult thing this time is you,” said Ji Feng, laughing, as he looked at Xu Yuan again, “Xu Yuan, ah. I’ve been recommended by Mr. Han, saying that you are very capable, so I’ll believe it, and we’ll have to see how you perform when the time comes.”
Xu Yuan pursed her lips and said, “Boss, I can only say that I will do my best, but whether or not I satisfy you at that time will depend on what you are asking for.”
Why was that a bit ambiguous!
Ji Feng couldn’t help but cough lightly, he also Ontario knew that Xu Yuan was this kind of character, daring to say and do, without any scruples, so he didn’t mind, but laughed and said, “Well then, it depends on your performance, because my requirements are very simple, and you can definitely meet them.”
“Right, there is another point that needs to be clarified with everyone!”
Ji Feng suddenly remembered something else and said, “You are now not transferred from the main factory to the branch factory, but you are first dismissed from the main factory, and then the branch factory recruits you again …… This is an extra procedure in the middle, that is, it is a bit more troublesome, and also the wage rate may be reduced, but I guarantee that this is only for a very short period of time, the branch factory is not very profitable now, however, by then I will try to subsidize you, if you have any opinions, you can just say so, I will definitely not force it.”
“No!” Tian Nan said immediately. She originally worked in the branch factory, and was jointly in charge of the finance department with the supervisor Yang Jun duo, so she naturally didn’t have any lumps in her heart when she went back this time.
“No!” Han Rui Chao also said loudly.
Xu Yuan’s big watery eyes flashed as she said, “Boss, I do have one more request, if you let me manage the factory, you can’t have any interference with my work …… I mean, if someone snitches on you or something, or talks about me behind my back, you can’t find trouble with me!”
Ji Feng had something in mind, nodded and smiled, “As long as your actions are for the good of the factory, I promise I will definitely not interfere!”
“Then I have no problem with it!” Xu Yuan said.
“That’s good if you don’t have a problem!” Ji Feng laughed and said, “Well then, since everyone has no more problems, let’s go through the formalities first, this side because it’s the factory that dismissed you, so two more months’ salary will be paid, this money, even if it’s a bit of compensation for you, it’s a bit of a token of appreciation from Han and me, I hope you don’t mind less.”
“How can it be too little if you have money to pay out, but it would be better if you could pay out a little more!” Xu Yuan laughed.
The others couldn’t help but also laugh, Ji Feng secretly nodded, this Xu Yuan is an old hand at livening up the atmosphere, I think it’s because Xu Yuan has been in sales before and has been in the shopping mall, so this has honed such a personality, to say the least, it makes people feel pity.
Next, Xu Yuan and Tian Nan quickly went through the formalities and drove to the branch factory.
The first thing you need to do is to get a car. Although this car is not a rare thing in Jiangzhou, but anyone who has some ability can buy a car. But Xu Yuan was different, she was not as well off before.
“It looks like a few of them are doing well here!” Ji Feng laughed.
“Because the pharmaceutical factory’s business is only for the Tian Yao Group right now, these sales people don’t have any other commission to get, so they can only give them a mention on their salary. However, these few people are all doing very well indeed, and with this departure, all the new people below need to be trained from scratch.” Han Zhong laughed.
Ji Feng said, “That’s easy to say, precisely because the business on this side of the main factory is single, and because these salesmen don’t need to run around begging others, it’s easy for them to adapt to the work here and gradually grow. When they start other businesses later on, they will have grown up long before that too, which is great!”
“In fact, I do think that although a single business is risky, as long as there is enough profit, it is better not to spread out too big, sometimes if you can reach the peak of one industry, that is already a great success, no one will be able to shake you.” Han Zhong said, “Look at those famous predators, some of them are only in retail, some are only in the energy industry, but when they reach the top, they are all international predators!” Han Zhong said with a smile.
Ji Feng nodded approvingly and said, “This is indeed true, but there are specific factors to their success, and this is what is happening with our pharmaceutical factory now, we have the sales and quality, but, we can’t make it too big!”
“Why?!” Han Zhong asked, frowning.
Ji Feng pointed to the sky above and laughed, “Some people are jealous! The way I see it, this rate of development now is already enough, don’t have an appetite for too much, our main customer is the military, but, it’s not ironclad there either ……”
The company’s main client is the military, if you want to swallow it all, you are looking for death. A fierce tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves, as long as there are interests, there are are people fighting, this is the unchanging truth of the ages.
If this Tengfei Pharmaceutical Factory takes all the benefits, then even if Ji Feng’s head is bigger, he will still be attacked by the crowd, and his fate will naturally be self-evident.
“Let’s develop like this first, and when we grow stronger, we’ll talk about something else!” Ji Feng patted his shoulder, “these employees, also according to your method, high pay treatment, strive to completely retain talent, so that when they come to us, they will not think about leaving …… However, you can’t mess around with it, in case the salary paid is too high and we go bankrupt, that would be a joke.”
“Haha ……”
Han Zhong immediately laughed out loud, “Ji Feng, that’s the joke you’re talking about, and bankruptcy …… Not to mention their current salary, even if it were to be doubled ten times more, it wouldn’t affect the operation of the pharmaceutical plant, do you know how much money is in the account of the pharmaceutical plant now?”
“Last time I checked, it seems to be more than thirty million left, I didn’t remember the exact figure, now there is fifty million?” Ji Feng asked hesitantly. He hadn’t really asked about the money, usually there was a strict cashier keeping count, he just had to look at the bills.
“Also fifty million …… There are fully three fifty million dollars in the account!” Han Zhong lowered his voice and said.
“One hundred and fifty million dollars?” Ji Feng was stunned, “How could there be so much?”
“Why not!” Han Zhong said, “This month’s bills and statements will soon be sent to you as well, so let me tell you about it in advance. Tian Yao Group placed another big order last month, a 100 million dollar order, and it was paid in full within two months, plus the previous one, won’t it easily reach 150 million dollars?”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but stammer, “This pharmaceutical factory …… It is simply a golden chicken that can lay eggs, no wonder father and second uncle have been reminding me to restrain, it seems, the reason is here ……”
