66, the hand that provokes people's hearts
On November 21, the fourth day after the mass employee resignations, Gree finally issued a belated statement in the newspaper.
The content of the statement can be summarized in three points:
The first is to express regret for the employee’s choice to resign;
The second is to thank the new and old friends who have firmly supported Gree during this crisis;
The third is that Gree will continue to be people-oriented, rational and scientific in creating products that make consumers comfortable.
The emergence of this statement brings an end to the turbulent verbal and written debates over the past few days.
After Xiong Baizhou read the news, he smiled and said to Liu Qingfeng: "This is purely a version to fool people. Do you think so, Liu Gong?"
Recently, Xiong Baizhou often talks to Liu Qingfeng to discuss some matters. The two of them have a tacit understanding not to talk about the positions of Zhou Mei and Wan Yan, but only discuss each other from the perspective of partners.
Only if Zhoumei Electrical Appliances can successfully open its business can these Wanyan VCDs be sold.
Liu Qingfeng took the newspaper and read it: "The first two are empty words, probably to stabilize the market and appease the employees who are still employed, but the last one seems to have real ideas for reform."
Xiong Baizhou nodded: "Currently, the most stable people on Gree's side are Zhu Jianghong and Dong Mingzhu, but people below are definitely panicking. But sometimes setbacks are also opportunities, and making good use of them will be the driving force for future innovation and transformation."
At present, Zhu Jianghong and Dong Mingzhu have prepared many countermeasures to stabilize the situation, appease people's hearts, and even proposed a "people-oriented" company culture. This would be impossible without first-hand preparations.
"Why are you two sitting next to the phone all the time?" Wang Lianqiao asked a little strangely.
Today, Wang Lianqiao wore a V-shaped half-sleeved sweater, revealing her snow-white neck, and her sexy collarbones were also faintly visible. Her legs in jeans were round and slender, and paired with a pair of half-inch high leather shoes, she looked capable and charming.
The store has been basically decorated, and Wang Lianqiao has been busy reviewing the details.
Xiong Baizhou did not answer Wang Lianqiao's inquiry, but suggested: "In fact, you should wear a necklace, which will make your skin appear fairer."
Intellectual Liu Qingfeng had the consciousness of not seeing anything inappropriate. He stood up and said, "I'm going to check on the equipment maintenance. If there's a phone over there, I'll come and listen."
"Where's the phone?" Wang Lianqiao's forehead was beaded with thin beads of sweat, which gathered in the corners of her eyes, evoking a wave of affection and charm.
Xiong Baizhou is very resilient and is still entangled in the problem just now: "If you don't have a thin necklace, why don't you wear it?"
"It's inconvenient, you can be lazy, I still have to clean the shop." Wang Lianqiao gave Xiong Baizhou a soft look.
Xiong Baizhou was indeed quite lazy and only focused on the key steps of planning. He planned the design plan for the store decoration, but Wang Lianqiao was supervising every corner.
After hearing this, Xiong Baizhou nodded thoughtfully and explained his behavior just now: "I discussed with Liu Qingfeng how long it would take for Gree to call Zhou Mei."
"Then have you discussed it clearly? When will Gree give us a response?"
Just as Xiong Baizhou was about to answer, the phone suddenly rang.
"I guess it's now," Xiong Baizhou said with a smile.
Liu Qingfeng also came over when he heard the call. Wang Lianqiao usually didn't care about the specific business and was about to leave, but Xiong Baizhou stopped her: "Come here and listen to the conversation between the winners."
The first thing Xiong Baizhou said when he picked up the phone was: "Manager Dong, I've been waiting for your call for a long time."
"How did Manager Xiong know that this call was from us?" Dong Mingzhu's slightly hoarse voice came from the phone. It seemed that his energy had been greatly depleted in the past few days.
"After you issued the statement, the matter should cease and go to underground communication. No one will harass Zhoumei Electric Co., Ltd. openly," Xiong Baizhou replied.
"Zhoumei Electric Appliances has great confidence in our Gree?"
Xiong Baizhou's attitude should never change: "My views have been very clear in the newspaper."
After hearing this, Dong Mingzhu spoke with emotion: "I didn't expect that the first person to stand up and support us would be Zhou Mei Electric whom I had just met."
"It can't be said that we have known each other for a short time. I have been paying attention to Gree Electric for a long time."
"So, Manager Xiong expected the Gree incident?" Dong Mingzhu actually made a joke.
Xiong Baizhou replied seriously: "It would be too exaggerated to say that it was foreseeable, but Gree's previous sales model was to conquer the world based on individual ability, and then use commissions to stimulate the enthusiasm of sales staff. There was no team spirit, and some business staff were
Mastered Gree’s sales resources.”
Dong Mingzhu said nothing, but Xiong Baizhou could imagine her frowning while listening to the phone, because what he said was all the truth.
"But" Xiong Baizhou continued: "With Manager Dong's skill and ability, I believe you must have noticed this problem earlier. Rather than saying that I expected it, it is better to say that it was the result of Manager Dong and Chairman Zhu's deliberate laissez-faire."
"Are you familiar with the story of Zheng Burke and Duan Yuyan?" Xiong Baizhou chuckled softly.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Zheng Zhuang's younger brother was named "Duan". He wanted to seize the throne. When Duke Zheng Zhuang found out that he was unable to take action first due to other reasons, he deliberately relaxed his vigilance and met all Duan's requirements. Duan lived up to expectations and rebelled, and was eventually killed early.
Duke Zhuang of Zheng was prepared to suppress them.
Gree is in this situation. Since it is a state-owned enterprise, relatives of government leaders are placed in various positions at will, and business personnel control the sales channels. Dong Mingzhu wants to deal with this cancer but has many worries.
Therefore, Zhu Jianghong and Dong Mingzhu simply let it go, but they secretly made relevant preparations. When the sales staff threatened to "resign" to ask for more rights, they found that Zhu Jianghong and Dong Mingzhu had already taken countermeasures.
In fact, Dong Mingzhu and Zhu Jianghong were very sure of solving this incident. The only surprise was Xiong Baizhou's intervention. Although it may affect Gree's future development ideas, as long as it adheres to the general outline of "people-oriented", Gree will still be
Gree.
Dong Mingzhu finally replied: "But after all, it still has a negative impact on Gree, and the bottom line of sales has almost been paralyzed."
"A long-term pain is worse than a short-term pain. We just take this opportunity to catalyze Gree's marketing model. I think choosing the right channel provider can help you solve this problem." Xiong Baizhou finally tried his best.
"For example, Zhou Mei?"
“Zhou Mei is definitely the best choice”
"I heard Li Donglai speak highly of Manager Xiong before, but now it seems that he is worthy of the name."
Xiong Baizhou said with a smile: "There is still some moisture, and I hope Gree can give us a little pressure."
"I understand your business model. Before making this call, Director Zhu and I discussed that we are willing to give you 20 air conditioners first. If you successfully sell out these 20 units, we will discuss the next step of cooperation."
"You won't charge money, right?" Xiong Baizhou asked deliberately.
"Money still has to be collected, but your support has been prepaid with interest. I really look forward to Gree and Zhou Mei making common progress."
······
After hanging up the phone, Xiong Baizhou said to Liu Qingfeng: "It has fulfilled its mission. Dong Mingzhu agreed to ship the goods to us first, and then we will ask Mr. Liu to check the equipment for us."
Liu Qingfeng was actually extremely shocked. After staying here for more than half a month, Liu Qingfeng had noticed that Xiong Baizhou did not have much liquidity, but Xiong Baizhou seemed to have a pair of magic hands that controlled the changes in the situation.
Liu Qingfeng couldn't help but look at Xiong Baizhou's hand. It was no different from ordinary people, but with just such a gentle touch, the changes in the situation were in his heart.
Wang Lianqiao couldn't see the sense of proportion here. She only knew that the matter seemed to be resolved well, so she said: "This matter is over, we can just wait for the opening with peace of mind."
"Anxiety?" Xiong Baizhou smiled and said, "I will take advantage of this wind and add some fire to keep it burning until the day of opening."
After saying that, Xiong Baizhou took out his notebook and said, "You go ahead and go ahead. I want to think about how to arrange the next step."
"Unreasonable" Wang Lianqiao curled her lips and continued to clean.
Xiong Baizhou watched Wang Lianqiao go away, opened his notebook, and wrote two words, but they had nothing to do with work:
Chapter completed!
