Chapter 1318 Midlife Crisis(1/2)

Two computer salesmen whispered in the corridor of Aixu Group's office.

The man finally made a decision to give Wang Lin the prototype they brought for trial.

Wang Lin no longer has any hope for these two salesmen.

He did not have much recognition of this domestic computer manufacturer.

The so-called national enterprises and domestic computers, after all, play the emotional card of the Chinese people.

In Wang Lin's view, an enterprise is an enterprise, and a commodity is a commodity, and there is no need to add too many emotional factors.

Those companies that have developed by playing emotional cards are best to lose in love.

It was obviously just a deal, but it was almost like a relationship.

Why bother?

Who knows that anyone who has experienced it will be endless disputes and resentment after a passionate love?

The deeper the love you were in the beginning, the deeper the hatred you were in afterwards.

However, as long as his computer is easy to use, Wang Lin doesn't care about how the company is.

He just uses products.

Just like many people hate Dongyang, but their products are indeed easy to use, so I can use them.

Wang Lin was handling work, and Guo Lingling walked in.

"Mr. Wang, the salesman before is here again."

“What are you doing?”

"He said he wanted to give you a computer for trial."

"Oh?" Wang Lin was stunned, "Please come in!"

The two salesmen came in with a box and placed it in Wang Lin's office.

The man smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, we were ignorant just now and offended us a lot. This is our computer prototype. We will give it to Mr. Wang for trial."

Wang Lin said: "Will you try for three days?"

The man said, "No, this computer was given to Mr. Wang."

Wang Lin glanced at him: "Is this given by your company? Or is it yours?"

The man said: "I gave it to Mr. Wang on behalf of the company."

Wang Lin said: "You gave it to me personally?"

The woman said, "Yes, it was given to him personally!"

The man said: "Aixu Group is one of the largest companies in China. I learned that Mr. Wang is realizing the modernization of the company's office, and computers are an indispensable tool for modern offices. I believe that Mr. Wang will definitely purchase our products after trying our computers."

Wang Lin said: "Then after I try it, if I think your product is not good enough, I will still purchase computers from other brands? Then wouldn't you lose more than 10,000 yuan?"

The man was stunned and said, "Please ask Mr. Wang to try our computer first! Since I have made such a decision, all the consequences will be borne by myself. I am still young, I don't believe that I can't even pay for a computer. If I can meet someone like Mr. Wang because of this computer, it will be my honor."

Wang Lin smiled meaningfully: "Very good, thank you, please leave the computer."

The man respectfully handed over his business card: "Mr. Wang, if you encounter any problems during use, you can contact me. I will come here to help solve it as soon as possible. The advantage of our domestic computer manufacturers is high-quality products and first-class after-sales service."

Wang Lin said: "Okay, then you can assemble this computer for me! Lingling, this new computer is for you to use, and the one you use now will be used for them."          …

"Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Guo Lingling smiled happily and directed the salesman to move the computer out and assemble it.

The man thought Wang Lin would try this computer by himself, but he didn't expect that he would just use it for the secretary, but he had already said that he would give this computer to Wang Lin, and no one could control how the latter would be handled.

They had to move the computer out, unpack it, take out the host, monitor and other items to assemble it, try it out, and leave until noon.

Deng Dabao came to report to Wang Lin, and saw the secretary's room assembling a computer. After coming in, he smiled at Wang Lin: "Mr. Wang, have you purchased a new computer?"

Wang Lin said: "Computer office is a trend. Mr. Deng, have you learned it?"

Deng Dabao touched his face and smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Wang, this thing is too advanced, I haven't learned it yet!"

Wang Lin said: "Brother Dabao, the future is the information age. Electronic computers have shown their incomparable advantages in various industries. Many industries cannot do without computers. With the rapid development of computer technology, the sales business will also be inseparable from computers."

Deng Dabao said: "We are doing sales, what do we want to do with this thing?"

Wang Lin was not angry because Deng Dabao was much older than him. With Deng Dabao's knowledge and vision, of course, he could not see the function of the computer.

Everyone has their own limitations.

Deng Dabao is in charge of the marketing banner of Aixu Group and has been dedicated to his duties for several years, which has made Wang Lin very satisfied.

In the past era, without computers, marketers could still expand their territory and do good things.

But the times are really changing!

The changes will be even greater in the next twenty years!

Deng Dabao is in his prime. If nothing unexpected happens, he will work in this position until he retires.

But in the future, the requirements for marketing directors will definitely be higher.

If Deng Dabao is not enterprising, Wang Lin can only consider changing his generals in five years, letting him take charge of less important departments, or directly letting him retreat in advance.

However, Wang Lin is still willing to give Deng Dabao time to adapt and learn.

Wang Lin smiled and said: "The ultimate goal of marketing is to occupy market share. Since the Internet can exchange information beyond time constraints and space restrictions, it becomes possible to trade without time and space restrictions. Enterprises have more time and greater space to market. They can conduct marketing activities and services globally, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is time domain."

Deng Dabao was fascinated by the sound of hearing: "Mr. Wang, then, this computer is still a magical tool? This was something I never dared to think about in the past!"

Wang Lin said: "Not bad! Computers are the most successful inventions of mankind!"

There have been thousands of inventions in history, and the most important invention is computers.

Various inventions in the past were just strengthening and enlarging the functions of human limbs and facial features.

For example, airplanes and trains can achieve travel that cannot be achieved by legs; cranes and forklifts can lift things that cannot be moved with both hands; microscopes and telescopes can observe objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye; telephones and televisions can make a thousand miles away as if they are late, etc.

But as the spirit of all things, the most important thing is to have a brain, be able to think, and be wise. All the inventions of humankind in the past cannot directly help human thinking.

Computers are different. They can not only do various calculations, but also make inferences and make judgments. Because computers have some functions of the human brain, they are known as "computers".

Compared with other inventions, computers have another important feature. This is all other inventions. After being implemented on a product, the function of this product is "dead". For example, after a passenger plane is manufactured, it can only be used to transport passengers. The function of computer products is "live". After a computer is made, as long as people give different programs, it can do different tasks according to human requirements and play different roles.

It is precisely because computers have this characteristic that they can be used in all areas of human society, reaching a level of blooming everywhere and pervasive.

It can be said that there is no invention in the world that has a wide range of uses for computers.

Wang Lin talked freely and explained to Deng Dabao the important role of computers.

If people of Deng Dabao want to take the initiative to learn computer technology, they must explain the importance of this technology thoroughly.

Deng Dabao was naturally a little moved when he heard this, but he was also worried: "Mr. Wang, I am willing to learn it. But this is a high-tech product. Can I learn it?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Computer is a technology! It is a science, mathematics, technology, engineering and methods. If you learn it as a technology, there is nothing you can't learn. We don't require the writing of underlying code, we just need to learn industry-related applications."

Deng Dabao said: "I only have a high school education, and I don't know if it's difficult to learn?"

Wang Lin said: "The computer industry essentially relies on technology to make a living. Whoever has the best skills has the final say. In such an industry, the relationship between education and technology is inversely proportional. How to explain this inverse proportion? It should be explained like this: If your technology is superior, the more others will ignore your education and background. If your technology is very mediocre and has no outstanding features, it will raise the threshold for others to expect from your strength and background. Do you understand?"

Deng Dabao smiled with a smile: "Mr. Wang, I want to learn! I will try my best to learn!"

Wang Lin smiled slightly: "I value your ability more than technology! Your ability, coupled with this new technology, can our group's marketing work go to a higher level. Also, Brother Dabao, at work, you must consciously cultivate successors."

The smile on Deng Dabao's face disappeared instantly: "Mr. Wang, do you think I am old and can't catch up with the times? So I want to change me?"

Wang Lin waved his hand: "It's nothing. You didn't understand what I mean."

Deng Dabao said: "Mr. Wang——"

Wang Lin said: "Listen to me first. If I really wanted to change generals, I wouldn't have appointed you at the beginning. How could I change a director after a few years? Is it easy for you to train a skilled director?"

Deng Dabao said: "What does Mr. Wang mean?"

Wang Lin said: "It's very simple. If you train a few young successors, they will naturally work for the company wholeheartedly. If you have any questions, you can also ask them to do it. Especially for new technologies, you don't understand, you can leave them to complete. Wouldn't that be nice?"                                                                                         �

He changed the subject and said, "Of course, you should also work hard to learn computer knowledge and technology. I want to hold a computer training class in the company, so I invite computer technicians in the company to attend the class. All of you management teams who don't understand computer knowledge must participate."

Deng Dabao said: "Okay, I will definitely study hard."

Wang Lin said earnestly: "Brother Dabao, our age will increase, and technology is changing with each passing day, so we must constantly learn and grow to adapt to the changes in society, otherwise we will be eliminated by the times. We may not always keep up with the technological trend, but we can hone our abilities. Personal abilities cannot be replaced by young people! They are also what young people lack and what work needs."

Deng Dabao nodded heavily: "Mr. Wang, I happen to have a midlife crisis and am still thinking about how to go in the future! Your words made me suddenly understand and I also had a direction to work hard."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "It is normal for people to have crises. If people don't have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. When we first leave school, we will have a deep workplace crisis. In order to become a regular, we want to increase our salary and level. After we just climbed into the management position, we are already middle-aged, and later generations are like crucian carp trees crossing the river! So we are afraid of being replaced by others! This crisis in the workplace will not be resolved until the day of retirement."

Deng Dabao smiled and said, "It's true! It seems that I have to strengthen my studies to prevent being replaced."

Wang Lin looked at the time, yelled, and said, "It's time to get off work! Brother Dabao, let's talk about this first."

Deng Dabao stood up and left.

In the secretary's room, Zhou Xia and Yunlu were waiting to see each other!

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Forget it, let's talk about our affairs in the afternoon!"

Yunlu naturally didn't dare to say anything.

But Zhou Xia spoke a little casually: "Wang Lin, you asked us to talk about things and delayed it until the afternoon. Isn't this a waste of our time? Although our time is not as precious as you, there is still a lot of work waiting for us to do!"
