My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million
Chapter 125: The Arrogant SalespersonChapter 125: Chapter 125: The Arrogant Salesperson
Fang Qiang just wanted to use this situation to make things difficult for Zhao Hui, letting him face a few business setbacks.
Then, he could go negotiate himself. Even if he failed, it couldn’t be any worse than Zhao Hui’s attempt, so he wouldn’t look too bad.
Zhao Hui wasn’t that conniving. He knew what the deal was with the partnership between Huang Guangyuan and Yino.
He wasn’t intimidated by Ganglong International the way Fang Qiang was.
So what if he had to negotiate? He felt no pressure at all.
「Dr. Feng’s Robot Co., Ltd.」
Near the end of the workday, Hou Fei called Yuan Kai over.
"Is the meeting set? What did they say?"
Chen Xiao had left early. Yuan Kai went back and fished the company’s information out of the trash—the one whose five-million-dollar order Chen Xiao had rejected.
He called them and arranged for them to come in and talk tomorrow.
"They’ll be here tomorrow at 11:00 AM, but they insist on meeting with Chen Xiao!"
Hou Fei’s expression immediately soured. ’They get rejected and are still this persistent? Do salespeople have to be such bootlickers? There’s no future in that.’
’Tomorrow, I’ll handle this myself. I’ll win him over with my professionalism and show him that being a bootlicker gets you nowhere.’
"So what did you tell them?"
Yuan Kai said, "I guaranteed them that as long as they’re serious about signing the contract, we can make sure Chen Xiao signs with them directly!"
"What do you mean? We’ll handle the negotiations. Why have Chen Xiao sign it!"
Hou Fei looked at him like he was a complete moron.
Little did he know, Yuan Kai was thinking the exact same thing about him.
Yuan Kai explained, "If I hadn’t told him he could sign with Chen Xiao, he wouldn’t have come. This way, we at least get a meeting tomorrow and have a shot at it!"
"If he absolutely insists on signing with Chen Xiao in the end, the company still gets a five-million-dollar order, right? We can still say we did our part for the company!"
There was one thing he didn’t mention. ’If the deal goes through, I get a 2.5% bonus. It’d be foolish not to take it!’
Hou Fei thought about it and saw the logic. "Fine," he said. "But if they insist on signing with Chen Xiao tomorrow and he refuses to cooperate, I’m taking this straight to President Feng!"
"This kind of behavior—prioritizing his personal whims over the company’s interests—has to be stopped!"
Yuan Kai was disheartened. ’Look at the way this guy does business, turning down a five-million-dollar order just like that!’
’Has there ever been such a badass salesman in the world?’
’And they put a guy like this in my department? How am I supposed to manage him?’
「The next morning, 11:10 AM」
All three of Dr. Feng’s Robot Co., Ltd.’s conference rooms were occupied by clients.
Ma Jing hurried back and forth between two of the rooms, constantly apologizing to the clients, terrified they would get upset and storm out.
’The meeting was for 11:00. Why isn’t Brother Chen Xiao here yet?’
What she didn’t know was that both clients were also incredibly anxious, afraid that if Chen Xiao didn’t show up, the contract wouldn’t get signed and they’d have a lot to answer for back at their own companies.
In the third conference room, Hou Fei and Yuan Kai saw Chen Xiao’s absence as a perfect opportunity to start negotiating with the client themselves.
Hou Fei repeatedly tried to steer the conversation toward his own professional expertise, but the client wasn’t interested in the slightest and put the contract directly on the table.
"Gentlemen, I’ve brought the contract and the company seal. As long as Chen Xiao is here, we can sign immediately!"
Hou Fei and Yuan Kai exchanged a look. ’What the hell? You really do see all sorts of crazy things.’
’A client shows up with a contract and seal, ready to hand over a five-million-dollar deal... and it’s a deal that was already rejected.’
’So it’s true, bootlickers get nowhere. Was business so hard for us before because we were the ones doing the bootlicking?’
’Is the real secret to becoming a top salesperson just to wait for the client to come to you and grovel, like Chen Xiao does?’
What they didn’t know was that the clients in the other two conference rooms had also brought contracts and company seals. It wasn’t just Hou Fei and Yuan Kai who were baffled.
Even the client representatives themselves were doing this for the first time in their lives!
Clients are supposed to sit in their offices while vendors come to them to grovel and beg. Now, the clients were bringing contracts and seals to the vendor’s office, begging them to sign.
If they didn’t get the contract signed, they’d be in trouble. Who could they possibly complain to about this absurdity?
Chen Xiao wasn’t late on purpose. He had to play at least three "rounds" every night now. Fortunately, his high Constitution and Endurance allowed him to keep up.
He had been about to get out of bed this morning, but then Zhao Xiangjun started changing in front of him, and the side effects of his 100-point Endurance kicked in again.
They went into overtime, which made him run late. Not only was he going to be late today, but so was Zhao Xiangjun.
At 11:20 AM on the dot, Chen Xiao walked into the office.
Ma Jing immediately ran over to him. "Brother Chen Xiao, you’re finally here! I was so worried the clients would get angry."
"If they’re angry, they can leave. What are you so afraid of?" Chen Xiao said as he walked with her toward the conference room.
"I’m Chen Xiao. You’re here to sign?"
Inside Conference Room 1, the client’s representative was a beauty—about an 8 out of 10—with a certain allure.
"Yes, I’ve brought the contract and the company seal!"
Chen Xiao took the contract, glanced through it, and finally said, "Alright. We’ll sign today."
It was the same story in the other conference room. He found it strange that all the client representatives today were attractive women.
’I’m not some kind of lecher. Why are they sending these beautiful but unprofessional women to sign with me?’
’Who are they looking down on? Do they think I’m the kind of guy who loses his head over a pretty face?’
He had the representative stamp her company’s seal on the contract, then tossed it to Ma Jing. "Go get this stamped! Actually, never mind. I’ll take it to President Feng for his signature and seal myself."
’If Ma Jing goes through the official procedure, she’ll have to fill out a seal authorization form and get it countersigned by several departments. What a waste of time. It’s almost noon; there’s no time to waste.’
Just as he was about to head to Feng Feifei’s office, a client emerged from Conference Room 3 and asked, "Excuse me, are you President Chen Xiao?"
Chen Xiao gave the woman from the third conference room a baffled look, then noticed the sour-faced Hou Fei and Yuan Kai trailing behind her.
"And you are?"
"I’m from XX Company! I’m here today to sign a five-million-dollar deal with you. I’ve brought the contract and the company seal!"
’XX Company?’ The name rang a bell. ’Right, that’s the one I threw in the trash yesterday. The company that wanted to raise 50 million in funding but was only willing to put up 5 million for R&D. Fucking dreamers.’
"I never said I’d sign with you. And I don’t recall scheduling a meeting, did I?"
The woman panicked and quickly looked toward Hou Fei. "One of your managers invited me! He said the deal was guaranteed!"
It took Chen Xiao only a moment to understand what was happening. His face hardened. "Then whoever scheduled the meeting can sign it. I’m not signing. A five-million-dollar order? Are you trying to give spare change to a beggar?"
Hearing this, the representatives from the two companies who had already signed were left trembling. ’This President Chen is on another level. He calls a five-million-dollar deal spare change for a beggar!’
’It seems like he was showing extraordinary mercy by even agreeing to our deals.’
"Chen Xiao, what is this attitude? How can you just reject a client? You have to sign this deal. As Vice President of this company, I’m ordering you!"
Chen Xiao shot him a look like he was a complete moron, then turned without a word and headed straight for Feng Feifei’s office.
Rebuffed, Hou Fei turned to the representative from XX Company. "Don’t worry, come with me. He’ll sign this deal whether he wants to or not. I’ll take you to the General Manager!"
