Sunflower is a relatively high-end restaurant on California Street. Although it is not as good as the Saint-Na Private Restaurant on Union Square, at least most people should think more about it if they want to spend it once. Zhou Ming and Cheng Qian came here at 6 pm.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, what we invited this time was an ordinary manager of their company's logistics department. Although he had the title of a manager, he could not do anything. At most, he could only give some constructive opinions and did not have much practical significance. Not to mention that the project of their company is very large this time. I am afraid that even the head of their logistics department could not make the decision, so..."

Sitting in the private room of the restaurant, Cheng Qian looked around and said to Zhou Ming in a low voice. Although he had not finished his words, he had already understood the meaning very well. & novel nbsp; "Are you worried about today's expenses? Don't worry, today is my treat, so don't pay for it, and you don't spend the company's money."

Zhou Ming joked and then said seriously: "I understand what you mean, but as Li Bai said, I am born to be useful, and small people also have their uses. The best way to cultivate successors in a company is to go up step by step from the bottom, and it is not unreasonable, because only those who fight on the front line can see some problems more clearly."

Cheng Qian himself was the Jieke Company, which was poached with excellent business capabilities, so he quickly understood what Zhou Ming meant: "Do you want to use him to indirectly understand the situation of their company, the head of their logistics department and even the decision makers of their company?"

"I never fight unprepared battles." Zhou Ming said.

"I now understand why President Tang would rather break with Pan Wenjin than drive them away, because if they were still in the company, you might not be able to fully utilize your abilities." Cheng Qian sighed.

Zhou Ming smiled and said nothing. Fortunately, he still remembered the marketing skills he summarized in his previous life, otherwise he might have been embarrassed in front of Cheng Qian, the marketing expert. And at this time, Zhou Ming also heard someone knocking on the door of the box.

After a while, the door of the box was opened and a white man walked into the box. When he saw Cheng Qian coming over enthusiastically, he said hello: "Cheng, my friend, I am very grateful for not forgetting your old friend. Even if you are the president of a company now, I am sorry that I have forgotten that damn name. It was me who received your invitation and came to Sunflower Restaurant. I am so happy!"

It seems that he has a good relationship with Cheng Qian, so he continued to say to Cheng Qian as he came in: "I have heard of the reputation of Sunflowers a long time ago, but you also know that my income has to pay back my car loan and mortgage, which is probably not enough to support my consumption."

Facing the white man's words, Cheng Qian said embarrassedly: "Hoyce, I am actually just the general manager of Jeko Company. The one next to me is one of the company's leaders, Zhou Ming, the first vice president of Zhou Ming. It is his intention to invite you to Sunflower Restaurant today."

Following Cheng Qian's words, the white man looked at Zhou Ming in surprise again. Cheng Qian introduced Haus in time. Through Cheng Qian's introduction, Zhou Ming learned that Haus was the most supportive customer when Cheng Qian was doing business. Zhou Ming stood up while listening, shook hands with Haus and asked him to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Cheng Qian spoke sensibly and said, "Hoyce, I heard that your Saifolk company needs to update the company's information database, right?"

"It's worthy of being my Chengqian friend. Your information is always the fastest!" Hawys gave Chengqian a thumbs up and said, "That's right, because the equipment and software systems of the information database were too aging, there was an excessive backlog of information last week, which led to new customers' information. The information could not be processed in time, so the company decided to update the equipment and software systems of the information database in one month."

"You have to change when you are old. This is a very responsible approach. I just don't know what your budget is?" Cheng Qian asked.

Hawys raised two fingers on this: "Two million, this is the conclusion drawn by the company after conducting an overall evaluation of the information database."

Hearing this answer, Cheng Qian looked at Zhou Ming in surprise. He couldn't believe his ears, because these two million projects were simply tailor-made for Zhou Ming. If Cheng Qian hadn't known that Zhou Ming wouldn't have known about the project of Saifolk in advance, he would even think that Zhou Ming sets performance goals based on Saifolk's project numbers.

Compared to Cheng Qian's excitement, Zhou Ming was very calm. He asked Hawys: "Can you introduce to me the person in charge of this project? In return, you can order whatever dishes you have in the Sunflower Restaurant today."

"This is really good news to be happy about, but is it only today?" Hawys asked.

"Of course not. I know that Mr. Hawys, your wife also likes Sunflower Restaurant, so if our deal can be completed, I don't mind asking for it again," said Zhou Ming.

Hawys clapped happily: "Mr. Zhou Ming's cheerfulness makes me feel very comfortable. I am very willing to trade with Mr. Zhou Ming! So in return, I can also tell you that although the project this time is coordinated by our logistics department, that is, our heads only have the power to nominate and suggest, the final result still depends on the decision of the company's senior management."

"It is understandable that projects worth two million US dollars are not a small number. With a responsible attitude, the company's senior management must be inquired." Zhou Ming continued, "But with a respectful attitude, we should go through the process. If you have time, you can ask your logistics department heads out for a meal and a cup of coffee. After all, the project nomination still has to pass through your logistics department."

At the end, Zhou Ming made a gesture to Hawys and asked, "Can you introduce your head to me?"

Hawys nodded and replied: "Of course there is no problem. Perhaps our head is a relative of the chairman, so his style is very rigorous."

Hawys paused at this point and asked with some uncertainty: "I don't know what aspects do you need to know?"

Zhou Ming shrugged meaninglessly and said, "Just say whatever you want, but the more detailed the better, even including what books he likes to read, which celebrity he likes, what TV shows he watches, where he likes to go on vacation, what hobbies he likes, what decorations he has in the office, or who else in their family, what are they doing, etc. "

"Do you need to know so detailed? I doubt you now. After all, except for F-Pussy, I really think I have never seen anyone who needs such detailed information."

Hawys looked at Zhou Ming in surprise, but although he didn't understand why Zhou Ming needed to ask these questions, he still told Zhou Ming everything he knew, and Zhou Ming also took the notebook and wrote it down bit by bit.

In this way, an hour passed quickly. Although Hawyce's introduction was very unprofessional, he also talked about wherever he thought. Not only were there repeated parts in the middle, but many places were even inconsistent with each other. Fortunately, Zhou Ming wrote them all down. Therefore, after Hawyce finished speaking, Zhou Ming summarized and sorted them out, and he could roughly imagine what kind of person Hawyce's head was.

In this regard, Cheng Qian also gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up: "I used to think that my marketing methods are the most powerful, but now when I see you, Mr. Zhou Ming, I realize that my methods are so naive, because no matter I face any project, I have never made such sufficient preparations. Only you can be called real marketing! It is impossible not to say that if we are opponents, I may not have a chance to win at all."

"I am not careless because I have to win the battle. After all, only by knowing myself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles." Zhou Ming said.

After leaving the Sunflower Restaurant, Zhou Ming and Cheng Qian returned to the company. At this time, everyone in the company left, only Tang Ran was still waiting anxiously here. Originally, Tang Ran wanted to go to see Hawys with Zhou Ming, but later Zhou Ming thought that he was just an ordinary manager and didn't need such a big battle, so Zhou Ming put Tang Ran in the company first.

Seeing that Zhou Ming finally came back, Tang Ran ran out happily: "How is Zhou Ming's situation? What kind of customers are you meeting? Are they the head of that company? Is their project two million US dollars? It will be fine if you do it, right?"

Zhou Ming interrupted Tang Ran's question with a smile and said, "I didn't make an appointment with the real decision-maker of that company. What we went to meet today is just an ordinary manager, but we still got a lot of very useful information from him. The most important thing is that their project has two million."

"This is great! Our mission is completed!" Tang Ran cheered happily.

Zhou Ming did not stop Tang Ran from being happy. They went into the conference room together to talk about the company's next plan. Cheng Qian hurriedly said his thoughts and left. Obviously, he understood the relationship between Zhou Ming and Tang Ran and was embarrassed to be a light bulb here.

After Cheng Qian left, Zhou Ming said to Tang Ran: "My plan is to take all the employees of the company to do an outdoor barbecue or watch three movies."

"Why? Shouldn't we focus all our attention on the project first now?" Tang Ran asked in surprise.

Zhou Ming did not answer this question directly, but asked Tang Ran first: "What do you think the purpose of the Tang family giving this test question? Just to check your business capabilities? Or, our current goal is just to make the performance of these two million yuan, or to bring the entire Jieke company back from the brink of decadence?"

Zhou Ming did not ask this question casually. This is actually a question that Zhou Ming has been considering since receiving this test question.

The reason is very simple. As a big family with a history of 150 years, if they want to inherit this family, it is obviously not enough to have business capabilities alone. I am afraid that the comprehensive ability of the heirs, especially the leadership and organizational ability. If this is true, just the two million projects of Saifolk Company will be far from enough.

Simply put, if a company is compared to a country and performance is compared to diplomacy, then leadership and organizational capabilities are internal affairs. If a country wants to prosper, internal affairs and diplomacy are bound to be indispensable. It is just that the saying goes, both hands must be strong.

However, even if the Tang family does not have this requirement, they just short-sightedly demand the business ability of the heirs, Zhou Ming also needs to do this, for no other reason, just to teach her how to become a real leader and let her control her future.

Otherwise, if it was just a project worth 2 million, Zhou Ming could do it herself. She could easily find Tong Gang Li Cheng, Ilbedorf, or even Deep Blue Airlines, but this was meaningless. What Zhou Ming wanted to do was to teach Tang Ran the essence of management. After all, how much money was left to Tang Ran was not the purpose. She had to leave him a qualified company's future. She herself was also a qualified leader, but on the other hand, this was also training herself.

Tang Ran was just cute and natural black, but in fact she was still very smart, so she quickly understood what Zhou Ming meant, so she nodded vigorously and said, "I understand, I think the wild barbecue is good, because it is more like a collective activity."

"Okay, just do what President Tang said." Zhou Ming said.

However, Cheng Qian did not leave directly after leaving the conference room. He heard the last words of Zhou Ming and Tang Ran outside the door, which shocked him.
