Chapter 668 Finale

For this annual total task that is almost astronomical, even if Wang Chenyu knew that this number was thought out by Zhou Shancheng, he felt it was very unreliable.

Because even though the company's sales performance this year has reached 100 million due to the expansion of the market and the negotiation of Liming's OEM, the sales target will be doubled and a half times next year. Wang Chenyu believes that even if the whole company uses its efforts, it will be extremely difficult to achieve this target number.

Judging from the situation of Rongcheng Branch, if the company's total annual task is 250 million, then Rongcheng Branch will have to obtain at least 20 million sales tasks, and it is likely to increase to 30 million tasks.

This is simply an astronomical figure that is basically impossible for Wang Chenyu. You should know that Rongcheng Branch led the storage product department to work hard and achieve sales performance of nearly 10 million this year.

20 million? Even 30 million? Wang Chenyu's scalp is tingling when he thinks about it. How many industry orders do he need to accumulate this number?

Based on Wang Chenyu's experience in sales work in recent years and the current market situation, the industry-oriented order for data storage in each province in the southwest region is less than 3 million. To complete the definite task number of 20 million, at least 6 or 7 large orders in such industries are required.

What's more, this year's situation is special. Gongli Company needs a large number of performance figures to successfully pass the listing guidance period, so Wang Chenyu can basically determine that the company will definitely issue an annual task target of 30 million to Rongcheng Branch.

As expected, on the last day of the year-end summary meeting, Zhou Shancheng Qiangang made arbitrary decision and issued annual tasks to each branch. Wang Chenyu, the Rongcheng branch, was assigned an annual task target of 35 million, even exceeding the maximum limit of the year-end task target predicted by Wang Yuchen himself.

Not only Rongcheng Branch, but other branches sighed and were listless when they heard Zhou Shancheng's desperate annual task performance goals. Everyone raised objections to the increase in annual tasks so much compared with the previous year. I hope Zhou Shancheng can consider it more realistically based on the actual situation, rather than being so ambitious.

But Zhou Shancheng didn't listen to the wailings and suggestions of each branch at all, and said directly murderously: "This is a hard indicator. No matter what methods each branch uses next year, even if it doesn't make money for each order, he has to complete the annual total task I proposed! This is the key to whether our mutual benefit company can successfully go public. So if any branch cannot complete this task, don't blame me for being rude and to replace people. In short, if you cannot complete this task goal, then I have to ask someone who can complete this task goal to replace you. The top priority next year is sales numbers, and everything is talked about by data."

Zhou Shancheng's stern warning and threat immediately silenced everyone, but the participants of each branch were complaining about Zhou Shancheng's hearts. He didn't mention anything about the original share allocation plan of employees after the company's successful listing, and directly announced a task target number to let everyone work hard. This is a typical bully who just wants the horse to run but does not give it grass.

But Zhou Shancheng is the boss of the company and has absolute voice. Therefore, all the people in each branch can only accept this task according to Zhou Shancheng's wishes, but no one takes this task number to heart. After all, everyone knows that this astronomical annual task is absolutely impossible, and even Wang Chenyu, who did the best last year, was no exception.

This is the first time Wang Chenyu has no confidence in his annual tasks since he was in sales. He is very clear that Zhou Shancheng's thinking has changed significantly after the development of Gongli Company in the past two years.

Although Gongli Company's main business is mainly about selling data storage devices, and as a recognized manufacturer in the market, even if the profit margin is much higher than that of the system integrators in the IT circle, this is because the profit efficiency is too slow. After all, any order has a cost. Moreover, Gongli Company itself does not have any core technology. To put it bluntly, it is just the exclusive general agent of a Daiwan manufacturer in the mainland. It is nothing more than the founding of Gongli brand in the past two years and has been widely accepted by the market.

The company's listing is completely different. The domestic stock market is actually not perfect, and it is more similar to a place where a business tycoon makes money. If a company is successfully listed, the company's boss will put the center on capital operation. The previous model of doing orders and projects is of course not as fast and easier than capital operation to make money. Wang Chenyu secretly speculated that Zhou Shancheng might be thinking this way at the moment, so he devoted his main energy to the company's listing.

If Zhou Shancheng's idea is really as Wang Chenyu guessed, Wang Chenyu had a negative judgment on his prospects in Gongli Company for the first time. Zhou Shancheng was neither willing to allocate him even a little employee stocks, nor did he have the intention to do business like before, but instead focused on listing to make money, then should he continue to do this in Gongli? What is his future prospect? Once he gets older, it is difficult to say whether Zhou Shancheng will sweep him out. At least Wang Chenyu does not have much confidence in Zhou Shancheng now.

Therefore, after Wang Chenyu returned to Rongcheng after the year-end summary meeting, he felt very confused. He didn't know if he should continue to make peace with common benefits, or he might start to prepare for the future and think about where to get out sooner.

To be honest, Wang Chenyu is still very reluctant to give up on his current job in Gongli. Of course, this is not entirely because he can make some extra money in Gongli in addition to his annual salary. Gongli Company also gave him a platform to play his abilities. If Wang Chenyu wants to change jobs, at least he needs such a platform to play his value.

No matter how much I think about it, I still have to do the work that I dare to do step by step. After Wang Chenyu returned to Rongcheng Branch, he called up all his subordinates to hold a meeting, announced the department's annual total task in the new year and decomposed this task on each salesperson.

Yu Li and Song Ming were immediately furious after hearing the sales task conveyed by Wang Chenyu. They were extremely opposed to the company assigning them a mental task that was half twice as good as last year's task. In their opinion, it was because Wang Chenyu himself had won many large orders and only barely completed last year's annual task. Now that the annual task has been raised so many times, it is simply unreasonable. The two of them even asked Wang Chenyu with dissatisfaction why it is impossible to complete the task without asking the company leaders at the year-end summary meeting.

Wang Chenyu has no way to explain the questioning of Yu Li and Song Ming, because he cannot say that the big boss Zhou Shancheng is eager to go public now, and the company's sales performance needs to look good and make money by going public.

Chen Yechao's reaction was surprisingly calm and said to Wang Chenyu: "This task is too exaggerated. Anyway, I will definitely not be able to complete it. Even if I add all the orders I am currently tracking and the potential orders I may win to everything. I can only guarantee you that I will do my best to go to the point where I can."

Wang Yuchen took the topic decisively and said, "I can understand everyone's mood. Just based on the sales and market this year, I feel unsure. But since everyone is paying the salary paid by the company, do their best. In short, everyone should still focus on big projects. Don't pay too much attention to or spend time on small orders like one or two units, otherwise everyone will be so tired that they vomit blood and still can't sell much."

The meeting was soon finished. Wang Chenyu simply gave everyone a point to the sales task and announced the meeting. He knew very well that this was a way to cover up his ears. No matter who these salesmen were, even Chen Yechao, who was the most optimistic about, might not take the task assigned to them seriously. Everyone, including Wang Chenyu, had no intention of challenging this almost impossible task goal.

In the first quarter of this year, due to some projects that continued last year and Wang Chenyu deliberately suppressed orders that did not sign contracts at the end of last year, even because of the impact of the New Year, the sales figures were not particularly ugly, but they were a little worse than in the first quarter of last year.

When the first quarter was about to end, one day at the end of March, Wang Chenyu received a call from Guo Yongheng, who had not spoken to him for a long time, on the way off work.

Looking at the numbers and names on the phone, Wang Chenyu's heart jumped for no reason, as if he had a sixth sense that this call might be a very important call from Guo Yongheng.

Wang Chenyu took it up and asked, "Mr. Guo, are you asking me for something? Do you want to talk about my sales performance in the first quarter? To be honest, from the year-end summary meeting, the company issued such a high indicator to our Rongcheng Branch's storage product department, and I feel emotional..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted directly by Guo Yongheng: "Wang Chenyu, I'm not looking for you for this, there is something else."

When Wang Chenyu heard this, he asked, "What else is there? It's impossible to inform me that I can get the original shares of employees after the company goes public, right? Now the rumors within the company are becoming consistent, and employees like me are not going to be able to do it."

Guo Yongheng sneered and said, "Are you still having such a beautiful dream? Are you thinking too much? Mr. Zhou doesn't even give me many original shares. Do you think you still have hope?"

Wang Chenyu heard some different meanings. Guo Yongheng had never said this to the company's boss Zhou Shancheng in front of him, but Guo Yongheng's tone on this phone today meant to tease Zhou Shancheng.

So Wang Chenyu immediately asked, "Mr. Guo, are you...?"

Guo Yongheng said directly: "Mr. Zhou's talks with me collapsed, which is about the original stock. I found that his current mind is not in the previous company's ideas, which conflicts with my concept. So I may leave Gongli Company, but it has not been officially announced to the whole company yet. You are a salesperson who I am very optimistic about, and have strong abilities. In Gongli, I have received great training. After I leave, there may be a major adjustment in the personnel department of the storage department of the head office. You also know that someone in the company dislikes you and wants to mess with you. So I will tell you before officially announce my resignation.

With a word, if you continue working in Gongli Company in the future, you should pay special attention to someone stabbing you behind your back. Of course, Gongli is also a good platform. If you want to continue to be in Gongli with your ability, it is absolutely no problem. If you want to change the environment, I can recommend it with your ability. I have acquaintances in various manufacturers' headquarters in Beijing. This depends on what you plan for your career. I have always been optimistic about you. Working with you for so long is a fate, but there is no banquet that will last forever in the world, so today it is me who bids you apart."

Wang Yuchen asked directly: "So what are you going to do after you leave Gongli? Do we still have the opportunity to continue working together as a team? What will Chen Gang do with him?"

Guo Yongheng replied: "Chen Gang is in a similar situation as you. After all, he was also mined by me. But you and him must continue to survive. He needs stability more than you. After all, he has already started a family. So I advised him not to leave Gongli until he had no choice. As for me, I also need a good rest after resigning. After working for so many years, I have never had the opportunity to rest and recharge. If there is still a chance in the future, I also hope to form a team with you, Chen Gang and several other branches in the branch to fight."

Wang Chenyu heard a clue from Guo Yongheng's last words and asked directly: "Then will you switch to other large companies to become executives or start your own business after you leave? If you stabilize here, I hope that our people can reorganize and fight."

Guo Yongheng smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhou and I have already agreed. When we signed a labor contract with the company, we also signed a competition agreement. If I leave Gongli Company, I will not be allowed to work in data storage-related business within two years. So even if I want to start a business, it will take some time. And I no longer want to work for others. Many company bosses are businessmen and value interests very seriously. To be honest, they may not be as good as Mr. Zhou. I prefer to start a business by myself, because the domestic data storage market is currently in a period of rapid development. I will tell you something to do and always provide us with common benefits.

The Daiwan manufacturer is also very jealous of the rapid development of the mainland. It is estimated that it will enter the mainland with its own brand this year for sale. For this reason, a sales company will be set up in Beijing to specifically target the sales of the mainland market. Therefore, in the future, Gongli will face direct competition from its upstream manufacturers, and the products will no longer be unique. I estimate that President Zhou will find another way to introduce new manufacturers to provide Gongli with white brand machines. These news are the latest internal news, which may be of some use to you, so I told these news before leaving, so I will tell you, so this is also a piece of advice I gave you before leaving."

Wang Chenyu asked reluctantly: "I still miss you in the past few years when you led everyone to establish the brand Gongli. It's a pity that you are leaving. Mr. Guo, if you really want to start your own business in the future, remember to notify our old brothers after the company is established. I am willing to come and continue to fight with you."

Guo Yongheng smiled and said, "It's not that simple to start a business yourself. The funds, the resources of upstream manufacturers, etc. have not yet been settled. It's still early, at least this year will definitely not work. I still have to be responsible to you brothers. I can't bring you brothers over if you don't think carefully. This is irresponsible to you. But I believe that in two years, I will definitely set up a company to create my own business. When I have the capital and can lead everyone to create my own business, it's too early to talk to you now. Okay, my mobile phone number will not change, let's keep in touch."

After hanging up Guo Yongheng's phone call, Wang Chenyu felt empty and had no sense of peace of mind. He could foresee that his life in the future might become more and more difficult.

Early the next morning, Wang Chenyu had just sat in the office and turned on his laptop, clicked on the company's email to start work. This habit was no different from his past.

However, he found a letter of resignation from Guo Yongheng sent to all employees of Gongli. In this letter, Guo Yongheng's words were very emotional. He reviewed his years of working in Gongli, and had high hopes for the future development of Gongli Company. Then he announced that he had officially resigned from Gongli for personal reasons.

In Wang Chenyu's opinion, this letter was more like a kind of insincere statement from Guo Yongheng, but he maintained his demeanor on the surface. He knew the truth better. This was also the official end of Guo Yongheng at Gongli Company. Guo Yongheng just abides by some unspoken rules in the industry and issued a formal notice according to the steps of resigning executives of the normal company.

Guo Yongheng's letter was considered a bombshell. At least in the eyes of many people, there was no sign of warning in advance. Even Jiang Yuli called Wang Chenyu to his office as soon as he saw this letter. He asked Guo Yongheng's real reason for his sudden resignation. Because Jiang Yuli believed that Wang Chenyu, as Guo Yongheng's favorite general, must know.

Jiang Yuli's actions made Wang Chenyu understand something. People of Jiang Yuli's level were unaware of Guo Yongheng's resignation in advance. It can be seen that Guo Yongheng did not make a big splash within the company and chose an attitude of leaving silently. Of course, this may be what Zhou Shancheng was willing to see.

After all, Guo Yongheng is a great contributor to the creation of the brand of Gongli Company. Such a person resigned is no less than an magnitude eight earthquake within Gongli Company. Moreover, how the outside world views Gongli Company, especially the data storage industry's data storage industry, how industry insiders view Gongli's future prospects are things that Zhou Shancheng urgently needs to pay attention to now.

Less than an hour later, Wang Chenyu's company emailed again with a notice to all employees from his boss Zhou Shancheng. In this email, Zhou Shancheng maintained at least a peaceful attitude, expressed regrets and blessings for Guo Yongheng's resignation, and then changed the subject and talked about his extremely optimistic confidence in the future development of Gongli Company. Then he announced a series of new recognition and appointments within the company.

Wang Chenyu's guess was that Zhou Dayong replaced the general manager of Guo Yongheng's storage business unit, but Zhou Shancheng personally served in this position, while Zhou Dayong was appointed as the deputy general manager of the storage business unit of the headquarters. Chen Gang and Zhu Shan's positions remained unchanged, but the headquarters made another major adjustment to the management structure.

The authority of the storage business department has been reduced a lot and is no longer a relatively independent department. Although Chen Gang and Zhu Shan remained unchanged, their power was also reduced. The biggest change comes from the business department. The business of each branch of the company was separated from the storage product department and directly transferred to the business department of the head office for vertical management. They no longer obey the branch storage product department manager, and have the power to supervise all contract reviews of the storage product department. In other words, the contract terms and prices of any branch storage product department must be reviewed by the branch business. If the review fails, the contract cannot be signed.

Wang Chenyu was very puzzled why such changes occurred. It turned out that the management mechanism had been running quite smoothly. Now the power of the business department has been greatly enhanced invisibly. He speculated in some maliciously that this might be related to the rumor that the female person in charge of the business department of the head office was Zhou Shancheng's mistress.

The person who is most happy with this change is Qian Xiaoxin. She was actually constantly approaching Jiang Yuli and had already had a relationship with the manager of the head office's Commerce Department. The current changes have given her part of the power to supervise Wang Yuchen. It can be said that she can now compete with Wang Chenyu with the support of Jiang Yuli within the branch.

Similarly, Yu Li, Song Ming, Chen Yechao and others received this email. Everyone understood that this new management system actually weakened the power of Wang Chenyu, the manager of the storage product department of the branch. But everyone didn't say anything and waited to see Wang Chenyu's reaction.

Especially Song Ming was extremely happy that Wang Chenyu was weakened and all his strength was. He always felt that Wang Chenyu was just lucky. Now that Wang Chenyu's backstage Guo Yongheng has resigned, Wang Chenyu will no longer be fully supported by the storage business department of the headquarters like before. He really wants to see Wang Chenyu's jokes.

Song Ming even speculated that the company issued new management measures, and it is very likely that the big boss Zhou Shancheng was taking action to eliminate all the influence of Guo Yongheng in the company. Especially the storage product managers of various branches, it can be said that many people are optimistic about Guo Yongheng. Now that Guo Yongheng leaves, people may naturally be fluctuating, so Zhou Shancheng will use the business department to make every effort to increase it to supervise the entire sales team and avoid any unexpected situations.

More than a week after Guo Yongheng's resignation, he gradually became known to the outside world. Wang Chenyu even saw an analysis article on the impact of Guo Yongheng's resignation on Gongli Company in a professional magazine within the IT industry. This is enough to show that Guo Yongheng's resignation has indeed been paid attention to by the outside world again.

After the implementation of the new management measures, Wang Chenyu immediately discovered some signs that were not very beneficial to him. First of all, the newly won orders were subject to a lot of difficulties when signing the contract. Either the contract terms did not meet the requirements of the department in the morning, or the price, especially the special price, the business department raised questions. In short, the difficulty and trouble of signing a contract are no less than that of system integrators, agents and end users.

Many times, Wang Chenyu felt very frustrated, especially when Qian Xiaoxin spread her hands and pushed the responsibility for failing the review to the Department of Commerce of the General Company, Wang Chenyu knew that Qian Xiaoxin must be doing the blame in the middle.

Not only that, it turns out that the price authority of the head of Jiang Yuli branch that Wang Chenyu held was also revoked. Jiang Yuli made it clear that Wang Chenyu could only control the price authority of the storage product department manager. Any special offer lower than this price authority must be applied to him by email, and he will be responsible for evaluating whether the special offer is approved.

In addition, Gongli Company's power to issue bid authorization documents has also been modified. The authority of the branch storage product department managers to issue the bid authorization letter in the area of ​​the branch was taken to the head office storage business department, and Zhou Dayong was responsible for issuing it.

As the authority was withdrawn step by step, coupled with the huge sales performance pressure put on the storage product departments of each branch during the weekly meeting, Wang Chenyu finally felt that his prospects for Gongli Company were disappearing step by step. For the first time, he had the idea of ​​taking the initiative to leave Gongli. He was very confident. With his ability, he could make a fortune by jumping to any manufacturer, but now he only felt frustrated and powerless in Gongli.

In the second month after Guo Yongheng left, Wang Chenyu received a call from Chen Gang. Chen Gang told him that he was going to leave Gongli and switch to Puhui to be a product manager. He had already agreed with Puhui and had the conditions to join the company and could join the company at any time. At the same time, Chen Gang also persuaded Wang Chenyu to find a way out early. People like him and Wang Chenyu will definitely be cleansed by Zhou Shancheng. After all, they had a nickname within the company, and they were Guo Yongheng's second general. If Wang Chenyu had a heart-to-job job to Puhui, he could be responsible for making internal recommendations to Puhui on his behalf.

For foreign manufacturers like Puhui to recruit people, they will first issue internal notices and like to accept recommendations from internal personnel of the company. If there is no suitable candidate, HR will consider poaching people through headhunting companies. Generally speaking, the possibility of people who are attracted to post resumes on advertising on recruitment websites is almost zero.

Of course, Wang Chenyu understood this kind of tricks and unspoken rules for foreign companies to recruit people. He knew that Chen Gang was helping him, but he did not want to leave Rongcheng to work in Beijing, so he politely declined Chen Gang's kindness. After all, as far as he knew, there were no vacant positions in the Rongcheng branch of Puhui.

After Chen Gang resigned, Zhu Shan was appointed as the national product manager of the two product lines of storage products and backup products. Wang Chenyu's life became even more uncomfortable. Zhu Shan basically spared no effort to pick Wang Chenyu's work at the weekly meeting, which was so nitpicking that Wang Chenyu almost dropped the phone several times.

As time goes by, slowly, there are fewer and fewer familiar faces among the storage product department managers of each branch participating in the weekly meeting. The storage product department managers of Quancheng Branch, Magic City Branch, and Chang'an Branch have resigned one after another, and those who have resigned, leaving only the storage product department managers and Wang Chenyu of the Yangcheng Branch are still sticking to it, while the other branches have changed their faces.

Faced with the pressure and runs from all aspects of the company, Wang Chenyu is still sticking to it. Although he also knows that this persistence may not last much time. But so far, he has not been able to find a new position vacancy in Rongcheng that he feels quite satisfied, so he has to choose to endure it. However, he has begun to just live a life of muddle through his work and no longer has the original passion and motivation.

Just as Wang Chenyu was struggling to continue to support common interests, in the CME Rongcheng office, Hu Kui, the general manager of the office, was on the phone with the hr manager of CME China. The reason was that the CME Rongcheng office was responsible for viewing the sales of the manufacturing industry in the southwest region, which was killed due to performance reasons. Therefore, the hr had some communication with Hu Kui and asked Hu Kui who could recommend him.

Hu Kui certainly knew about the resignation of Guo Yongheng of Gongli Company. He also learned from different channels that Gongli Company's sales team was in a state of being cleaned and broken down due to Guo Yongheng's departure. Wang Chenyu, sales manager of Gongli Rongcheng Branch, once gave him an extremely deep impression on some orders, so he specifically proposed to the hr manager of CME China to include Wang Chenyu in this position.

Soon, Wang Chenyu received a call from a headhunting company headquartered in the Magic City.

Wang Chenyu was very surprised that the headhunting company knew his situation in such a detailed understanding. Although he still knew the role of headhunting companies in the IT industry, he did not expect that one day he would become the target of headhunting companies to poach people.

After verifying some basic situations with Wang Chenyu, the headhunter told Wang Chenyu that CME was interested in him and asked him if he was interested in going to the CME Rongcheng office to see the manufacturing industry in the region. At the same time, he also offered an annual salary package that made Wang Chenyu feel very moved, which was more than twice the annual salary he had in Tongli.

Wang Chenyu has to admire the generous salary of foreign manufacturers like CME. Foreign manufacturers used to be the platform he dreamed of entering. Although this was his idea before he joined Gongli. After working in Gongli for a few years, this idea is no longer so urgent, but now his current situation of Gongli makes him very frustrated. Now that CME has provided such a relatively attractive opportunity, Wang Chenyu has to start to consider it carefully.

The words Guo Yongheng said before resigning still occupied a position in his heart, but the problem is that the company he started by Guo Yongheng will not officially operate in two years, but the reality is that Wang Chenyu is now unable to stay in common benefit.
