Chapter 33: Don't take the blame, be the client!
Chapter 33: Don't take the blame, be the client!
"Have you found a client?"
Fatty Liu was stunned, a look of surprise on his face.
I didn't expect there would be a client who wanted to take over?
It's important to know that the inventory currently piled up in the warehouse is worth three million, calculated based on the company's current near-expiry wholesale price.
A can of fruit retails for 21 yuan, originally wholesaled for 9 yuan, but now it's on sale for only 6 yuan!
That is to say, there are currently 50 cans in stock in the warehouse!
This is still the price before expiration, which is only six months away from expiring.
If we keep storing it in the warehouse, the price will drop even further.
When there are only one or two months left, it will probably be difficult to find buyers even if it is sold at a 90% discount.
Some people might buy it because it's cheap, but that's just a drop in the ocean.
Fatty Liu personally visited clients and found a chain store willing to take over.
But other companies are offering it for 1 yuan a can, which is practically free.
If such a price were reported to the company, he, as the sales manager, would be severely reprimanded!
The boss was just unwilling to give up and wanted to try to salvage the situation while there were still six months left on the shelf.
We'll sell as many as we can.
When there are only 3 months left of the shelf life, the price will be reduced again.
So much money has already been lost, what's a little more?
Losses on this batch of canned fruit were inevitable.
That's why Fatty Liu took the opportunity to make things difficult for the person who wanted the unwanted canned fruit, and forced it onto them as part of their performance evaluation.
Chen Huai'an was aware of this, so he simply lay down and accepted it.
The inventory of 500,000 cans has not been sold yet.
The main idea is that if the employees don't work hard, the boss won't be able to live the life he wants.
When the accountability is investigated, the sales manager will also be implicated.
Especially after resigning, with no one to take the blame, the responsibility can only be placed on the direct supervisor.
However, based on his understanding of Fatty Liu, he would definitely find another scapegoat.
Li Huai'an had already written his resignation letter and was originally scheduled to resign tonight.
There were many things to do later, and I didn't have time to deal with Fatty Liu.
But since that sleazy fat man still wanted to cause him trouble, he couldn't blame him for fighting back.
Chen Huai'an's temper is like a spring; the more you press it down, the bigger the rebound.
They never cause trouble, but they never suffer in silence when bullied!
I've decided that before I leave, I must teach this fat guy a lesson and show him why the flowers are so red!
If I don't get my revenge, the braised pork trotter rice won't taste good tonight!
Chen Huai'an crossed his arms and laughed, "If you're going to retaliate and use your power for personal gain to make things difficult for me, then I don't have to report it."
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the office.
"Impressive, no wonder you're the top salesperson!"
"I admire that they can find large clients to take over their positions even when the market is about to close."
"What a pity..."
The people in the office discussed in hushed tones, all revealing their sincere admiration.
Selling a small portion of this batch of goods isn't difficult, but finding someone to clear out the inventory and take over is.
If it were that easy, Fatty Liu wouldn't have deliberately used this batch of goods to make things difficult for people.
If we can really clear out this inventory and avoid losses for the company, it would be a great achievement.
Many people looked on with envy.
If this batch of canned fruit, worth three million yuan, can be disposed of, the 3% commission would amount to 9 yuan.
It's almost 100,000, how can I not be envious?
Fatty Liu's fat face jiggled, and his eyes shifted.
After all, a person's reputation precedes them; the words spoken by someone who has been a top seller for several consecutive years carry some weight.
It's undeniable!
He did want to stop them, but stopping them in front of everyone would only prove that he was deliberately making things difficult.
Moreover, Chen Huai'an said it in front of more than a dozen people in the sales department, and everyone heard it, so there was no way to take it back now.
You can't just say that if you insert it and immediately pull it out, it's as if nothing happened.
I believe the news will reach the boss's ears through the work network before he leaves work.
That's when his term as supervisor will end.
"If you dare to lie to Boss Lu, you won't get your full base salary this month!"
Fatty Liu's face turned ugly, and he coldly threatened.
Although he was annoyed, he had no choice but to step aside and make way.
Chen Huai'an glanced at the pregnant belly blocking his way and pouted, "You're blocking the way."
Fatty Liu glanced down at his protruding belly, his forehead veins bulging with anger: "You—!"
But faced with indifferent stares, he could only helplessly suppress his temper.
In today's society governed by the rule of law, he really wouldn't dare to hit someone in the office.
Besides, looking at the other party's strong physique of 1.8 meters, he knew he couldn't beat him!
He could only silently sulk, thinking, "I'll deal with him during the end-of-month evaluation!"
Chen Huai'an put his hands in his pockets, raised his head, and walked out of the sales department office, avoiding the crowd.
Upon reaching the second-floor office of the duplex, I simply pushed open the door and entered.
Luneng was tidying up his desk, planning to have dinner with a girl he had just met after work.
Seeing that he had come in without even knocking, he showed annoyance.
But when he saw the young man at the door, he immediately realized what was going on.
As the company's CEO, he was well aware that in order to maintain internal unity and minimize major issues, he had offended people by taking sides.
In particular, in the past six months, Chen Huai'an went from being a top salesperson to a performer with a performance rating of 0, and is about to be fired.
He knew very well why.
However, given the internal conflicts within the company, he resolutely chose to side with his supervisor.
After all, you can always recruit a top salesperson, but if the team is constantly fighting amongst themselves due to conflicts, and morale is low, then the team will be difficult to manage.
Seeing his subordinate rudely push the door open and enter, his face darkened: "What is it?"
Chen Huai'an walked to the desk and sat down without exchanging pleasantries.
"Two things: first, I contacted a buyer who was willing to take over all the canned fruit; second, I resigned."
Then he placed the resignation letter, which was originally intended for Fatty Liu, directly on his desk.
Since I'm resigning anyway, there's no need to be sentimental anymore.
If the boss had been even slightly fair, he could have given each other a final act of decency.
But now, he's more like the client holding the orders!
What could be more satisfying than being the client?
really
Upon hearing that someone was willing to take over, Shandong Luneng's face lit up with joy: "We've really found a client? No wonder they're the people I value most!"
His voice was warm, without the slightest trace of his previous displeasure.
If this inventory can be cleared out, at least we won't lose money.
He acted as if he hadn't seen the resignation letter on the table.
Now, Shandong Luneng considers this employee a treasure, so how could they let him go?
Since they don't want to approve it, they might as well pretend they didn't see it and let it go.
Luneng smiled warmly. He picked up a cigarette from the desk and handed it to him.
"Huai'an, have a whole one!"
You've come to me because your client has some requests, right? Anything negotiable is fine!
