Chapter 845 Manager
In late autumn of 2008, the sycamore leaves of Jiangcheng swirled in the cold wind. Su Hang stepped on the fallen leaves that looked like broken gold and looked up at the glass curtain wall of Jiahua Group Building. This building, standing in the core area of CBD, glowed with a cold metallic luster in the sunset, like a dormant giant beast, swallowing and spitting out elites. The air-conditioning in the interview room was turned on very high, but Su Hang's back of white shirt was sweating. Among the five interviewers, the middle-aged man on the far right suddenly said: "What do you think is the essence of sales?" Su Hang clenched his slightly damp resume in his hand, "It is to create value for customers." As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was silent. Until the chief examiner chuckled, "Come and report tomorrow." On the first day of employment, Su Hang was thrown into the medical device market where there are more wolves than meat. His mentor, Lao Zhou, was a greasy uncle who always smoked a cigarette, but he taught him his first lesson at the wine table: "Xiao Su, the business world is a battlefield. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." That night, Lao Zhou took him to toast the purchasing director of the municipal hospital. In the crisp sound of the red wine glasses clinking, Su Hang smelled the pungent smell of money. Three months later, Su Hang finally signed his first big order. When he excitedly took the contract to Lao Zhou, he ran into the office door ajar. Lao Zhou and another sales manager lowered their voices: "That kid is really hardworking, but this time, he should know what the rules are." The next day, Party A suddenly regretted and said that they had found a better supplier. Su Hang waited downstairs of the other company until late at night, and only then did he learn from the guard that the kickback given by the competitor was three points higher. The setbacks did not defeat Su Hang, but instead ignited his stubbornness. He began to study market trends and was still reading industry reports at three in the morning; in order to meet a difficult customer, he sat at the front desk of the other company for a whole week. In 2010, the spring breeze of medical reform blew into Jiangcheng. Su Hang keenly captured the business opportunity of updating primary medical equipment and took his team to visit 2015 surrounding township health centers. However, success is always accompanied by jealousy and conspiracy. Just as Su Hang's performance was soaring, an anonymous letter of complaint was sent to the company's top management. The letter accused him of bribery in bidding. In the blurry photo attached, he was toasting with customers at the wine table. On the day Su Hang was suspended for investigation, Lao Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, it's not a good thing to be too sharp." During that time, Su Hang spent every day in the library, reading legal provisions and business cases. He found a loophole in the complaint letter: the drinking party in the photo was actually a public occasion of an industry exchange meeting. When he put the evidence in front of the general manager, the other party said meaningfully: "Xiao Su, you are smarter than I thought." A week later, the whistleblower, the sales director, was fired and Su Hang was promoted to regional manager. In 12, the Internet wave swept in, and the traditional medical device industry was hit hard. Su Hang rejected all objections and proposed a plan to build an online sales platform. At the board meeting, he said to a group of executives in suits and ties: "If we don't actively embrace change, we will be eliminated by the times!" Someone sneered, "Young man, don't be fanciful." But Su Hang did not give up. He paid out of his own pocket to build a technical team and made the first generation of products in three months. On the day the platform went online, Su Hang stood in front of the monitoring screen, watching the real-time data, his heartbeat almost bursting out of his chest. However, competitors soon launched a counterattack. They hired water troops to spread rumors online, saying that the products sold on the platform were of substandard quality; they even paid hackers to attack the server, causing the platform to be paralyzed for a full 2018 hours. Faced with the crisis, Su Hang did not back down. He held a press conference, publicly displayed the product quality inspection report, and invited the media to visit the production workshop; at the same time, he hired top network security experts at high salaries to strengthen system protection. At the most difficult time, the directors of township health centers who had been helped by him stood up and took the initiative to endorse the platform. In 2020, the number of users of Jiahua Group's online platform exceeded million, and the annual transaction volume exceeded billion. At the celebration banquet, the chairman personally awarded Su Hang, "Mr. Su, you have proved with your actions that a truly strong person can always find his way in the storm." As the spotlight flashed, Su Hang thought of himself when he first entered the workplace, the young man who looked up at the tall buildings in the cold wind, and finally stood at the top of the industry. However, success brings not only glory, but also greater challenges. As the scale of the platform continues to expand, capital began to intervene. An investment company expressed its intention to acquire the company, and the price offered was enough to make all shareholders excited. But Su Hang knew that once controlled by capital, the original intention of the platform would deteriorate. At the shareholders' meeting, he argued: "What we do is not only business, but also a social responsibility!" The shareholders' opposition came like a tide, and some even threatened to withdraw their investment. During that time, Su Hang slept only three or four hours a day, while calming the shareholders' emotions and looking for new financing channels. He flew all over the country, visited dozens of institutions, and finally persuaded a fund focusing on the medical field to invest. In , the epidemic came suddenly and medical supplies were in short supply. Su Hang immediately organized a team to open up the upstream and downstream supply chains and transport masks, protective clothing and other materials to the front line of the fight against the epidemic at cost price. The company lost tens of millions of yuan for this, but Su Hang said: "When the country and the people need it, making money is not the first priority." This righteous act not only won the praise of the society, but also brought the user loyalty of the platform to a new height. Today's Su Hang is no longer the green sales rookie of the year. In his office, there is always a calligraphy work hanging: "When you reach the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise." Whenever young employees ask for the secret of success, he will say: "In the ups and downs of the business world, only by sticking to your original intention and never giving up can you walk out your own passionate journey in the turbulent waves." Under the night sky of Jiangcheng, the lights of the Jiahua Group Building are still bright. Su Hang stood in front of the French window, looking at the hustle and bustle of the city, his heart full of emotion. He knows that the storms of the business world will never subside, but as long as you hold your dreams and keep your blood, there is no hurdle that you can't cross.
The autumn rain tapped on the glass window of Jiangzhou Daily. Lin Xia stared at the densely packed case information on the computer screen, her fingers unconsciously stroking the yellowed newspaper clippings on the table. It was a report on the "Nightingale Serial Murder Case" that shocked the whole city ten years ago. The neat incisions on the victim's neck in the photo looked like a nightingale spreading its wings and about to fly. Now, this unsolved case, which has been silent for ten years, has once again entered her life because of an anonymous letter. "Xiao Lin, the editor-in-chief is looking for you." The voice of a colleague interrupted her thoughts. When Lin Xia stood up, her knees hit the corner of the table, and the anonymous letter slipped out of the folder - on the light blue letter paper, it was written in red pen: "The nightingale is singing again, and this time, it's your turn to listen."
