Chapter 30 29. The accumulation of wealth takes time

Ye Tao and Sha Dangdang haven't had much of a relationship yet, but after meeting him twice, he couldn't help bragging about his "love affair" to Zhao Zimeng and Li Yaping complacently. With a smirk on his face, he murmured, "You don't know what she does, maybe she's a mistress!" Ye Tao jumped up angrily and cursed: "Fart! You are the mistress!" Li Yaping said with a smile: "Seeing Ye Tao's second chance to change his destiny comes, some people feel unbalanced. Ye Tao, ignore him, take it well!" Ye Tao said, "Exactly! Sha Dangdang is the sales manager, and he and my brother-in-law are colleagues."

Zhao Zimeng said dissatisfied: "She said that she is the sales manager or the sales manager? Then I will tell you that I am the sales director!" Ye Tao said angrily, "If you can rent a two-bedroom house like Dangdang, buy such good furniture and electrical appliances, and live comfortably by yourself, I will believe you." Zhao Zimeng said in a strange way: "This relationship has developed fast enough, and it has already become a 'Dangdang'. Ye Tao, don't blame the buddies for not reminding you, she will be like you said, capable of making money, and not good looking. Ugly, why is she being nice to you?"

Ye Tao said: "What's wrong with me? Is it a disadvantage? Am I so handsome for nothing? Being handsome is the capital!" Zhao Zimeng shook his head and said: "It's so vulgar. You have to pay attention to capital in a relationship. It's like investing in shares. If you don't have enough money, you won't be allowed to join the team. Women are lustful, men are greedy for money, they just don't have love. " Ye Tao was not too happy, he retorted: "How do you know that we can't cultivate love? If you find a poor and stupid person, you will definitely have love? There is no necessary connection at all."

Li Yaping smoothed things over and said: "Sha Dangdang is obviously not in the same class as Ye Tao's former girls. I think this opportunity is good. If it were me, I would go all out. Ye Tao, hurry up and find a job, don't delay." Zhao Zimeng also said: "You should pay close attention to finding a job. This is the real thing. Women can't have a secure job! Soft rice is not so delicious." Now, even Li Yaping felt that Zhao Zimeng's last sentence was a bit harsh. He was afraid that Ye Tao would not be able to stand the idea of ​​"eating soft food", so he hurriedly said to Zhao Zimeng: "What's the matter with you? You hate the rich! Make you say it weirdly."

Ye Tao was not angry anymore, he said: "It doesn't matter, it is a good life to have soft rice, not everyone can eat soft rice." Among the three people, Zhao Zimeng was the most shabby-looking, and he rolled his eyes when he heard Ye Tao implying that he looked difficult, but Ye Tao suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "It seems that this time I It's really time to turn around! Otherwise, Zhao Zimeng, why are you so angry! Obviously jealous!" Zhao Zimeng punched him and said, "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs! I see you, sooner or later, you will suffer for this sand dangdang."

... As soon as October passed, the number of people in the constant temperature swimming pool of the sports center was reduced by half, and it was no longer as crowded as in the summer vacation when the pool was full of dumplings, and it was much more comfortable to swim. Sha Dangdang has been soaking in the swimming pool with Ye Tao for more than an hour.Sha Dangdang was a landlubber, and even though Ye Tao took care of it conscientiously, she still took a few sips of water and finally swam to the end. She quickly grabbed the wall of the pool to breathe, and burped twice involuntarily. Ye Tao asked her from the side: "How is it? The deep water area and the shallow water area feel different? Swimming is only interesting in the deep water area."

Sha Dangdang said out of breath: "Uh, uh, it feels different. The water in the deep water area is relatively fresh, and the water in the shallow water area is relatively salty." Ye Tao was amused by her Sichuan-style humor: "Who told you to feel it with your tongue?" Sha Dangdang continued to belch and said, "Uh, I quit, I'm exhausted! I'm not interested at all. Uh~~~~ I want to go up." After that, she climbed ashore resolutely and heavily, Ye Tao He quickly followed and went ashore. When the two met for less than a week, Ye Tao already knew that Sha Dang was a sales manager at a young age. At that time, Ye Tao was half surprised and half convinced: "I really didn't see it! She is a sales manager! No wonder she earns money." many!"

Speaking of it, it is not necessarily clear how good Ye Tao's deception skills are. In fact, Sha Dangdang himself is very happy to let Ye Tao know that he is a "manager", half of it is out of pride, and the other half is out of cunning-she has already seen Ye Tao's deception. Tao's family background is very average, so just use money to catch this beautiful boy!If Ye Tao is not interested in money, she will struggle instead, thanks to Ye Tao. Sandangdang's money is actually not easy to earn. The name of Sadangdang's new company is "Lesney", which is the Chinese transliteration of the foreign language.Here, the sales representative is called "salesman", which seems a bit different, different from others.Sandangdang's regional manager, Lin Rucheng, is a man in his early forties. Speaking of which, Lin Rucheng has a lot of experience in the industry. When Wang Haitao first entered the industry for interviews, he was already a sales manager. Lin Rucheng's personality has always been quite distinctive. The ignorant boy Wang Haitao back then, Lin Rucheng didn't like to give the other party a chance to complete the sentence, not to mention that when Wang Haitao came for the interview that day, he was drenched in the rain and turned into a goose, telling him to "go back and wait for the news" is enough to save face.

Lesney's headquarter is located in Shanghai. The company is small, with no more than 100 people in China. The biggest official in the Southern District is Lin Rucheng.On the first day Sha Dangdang took office, Lin Rucheng gave her a vivid ORIENTATION (personnel training). He spread his fat and juicy hands to cover his chest, and said to Sha Dangdang: "I am Lei The supreme officer of the South District of Si Ni, here, all people, all departments, must obey my leadership!" When he said this, his round eyeballs were fixed on Sandangdang's eyeballs, Sandangdang He couldn't resist his straight eyes, so he had to look away uncomfortably, which was the beginning of surrender.Such an opening made Sha Dangdang very uncomfortable. She couldn't help making a comparison between Lin Rucheng and her former boss Li Li. The more the comparison, the more uncomfortable it became.

Sha Dangdang soon discovered that Lin Rucheng was particularly easily offended. Whenever this happened, Lin Rucheng's voice would suddenly rise to a high pitch, a bit like a woman who was too excited, and those whose nerves were not strong enough could be frightened into a cold sweat by such a voice. Sha Dangdang is used to the American management of DB. Under such a corporate culture, it doesn’t matter if you really respect people or pretend to respect people. Anyway, you must respect people in form. Dangdang treats everyone, at least, Dangdang still knows what kind of mistakes may annoy Li Li.But now, Sha Dangdang has no way of predicting and preventing Lin Rucheng's seizure pattern, no matter from the cycle or the reason.

When tooth decay develops to the stage where the nerves are exposed, the pain is often severe and unexpected. The pain is like a screaming electric drill. Once or twice, it penetrates deep into the nerve and radiates into the bone marrow. Because it is unpredictable, The spirit is also trembling.The effect of Lin Rucheng's attack is roughly similar to that of a toothache. Lin Rucheng joined Lesney less than half a year earlier than Sandang. In the southern area of ​​Lesney, he fully experienced the happiness and authority of a post-modern mountain king. For example, when he is in a good mood, he can talk to women in the office that he thinks he can give face without worrying about it-Sadaangdang is not included, because this kind of face-giving is not ranked according to the position-the content of the conversation often involves sexual intercourse. Most of these jokes have been screened in advance, and he himself thinks they are charming and distinctive. Since joining Lesney, Lin Rucheng has cultivated some new personal hobbies, such as desire, which has almost reached the peak of his life.In order to satisfy himself, Lin Rucheng stipulated that all salespeople arrive at the company at 8:30 every morning and hold a one-hour morning meeting.Sales people are particularly afraid of this kind of disguised attendance. In the past, in DB, Shadangdang only saw this kind of work system being used under special circumstances. Most of the time, it was a sales manager who forced a subordinate to leave the company voluntarily. The inspector uses a landline near the client company to call the manager’s mobile phone every morning. It doesn’t matter what they say, the main thing is to confirm that they have arrived. At noon and evening, they repeat the above actions again—in this way, most of the salesmen will not be able to survive. They will automatically resign in two months. Sales staff can often bear the pressure of indicators and growth rates, but they can't stand the trick of attendance.Just as a person who can’t live without being late is not suitable to be recruited as a front desk clerk or department assistant, if a salesman didn’t love the free working hours and the stimulation of receiving bonuses, he would have quit the sales business at the beginning. irrelevant.Therefore, Lin Rucheng's early morning made the salesmen in the South District of Lesney complain in private. When Sandangdang was on a business trip, I heard from another community manager, Kong Lingyi, that Lin Rucheng had lost his voice due to severe pharyngitis. After taking medicine for two days, he still did not improve. The doctor asked him to talk less to avoid turning into chronic pharyngitis.After hearing this, Sha Dangdang secretly had a glimmer of hope, she thought, in this way, the regular meeting every morning would probably be cancelled. However, in less than two days, the morning meeting will be changed to morning exercises.Kong Lingyi told Sha Dangdang on the phone that Lin Rucheng came up with a set of movements from somewhere, and even composed the lyrics himself, teaching everyone to sing while doing exercises, known as "one exercise every day".According to Kong Lingyi, after two days of rehearsals, most people have been able to correctly grasp the essentials of the movements and the meaning of the lyrics. Sha Dangdang asked suspiciously: "What kind of morning exercises? Do you have to play songs?" Kong Lingyi smiled wryly, "You'll know when you come back." Sha Dangdang came back to the office on a business trip and saw that his eyes were straightened by lightning. A group of people were jumping and jumping, and the movements were nothing. Anyway, it is good for health. The main song is more powerful: One salesman, who came to Lesney, will find one high-quality customer every week; one this week, one next week, and many high-quality customers in the next week. Two salesmen come to Lesney, and they will find 2 high-quality customers every week; 2 this week, 2 next week, and many high-quality customers in the next week. 3 salesmen come to Lesney, and they will find 3 high-quality customers every week; 3 this week, 3 next week, and many high-quality customers in the next week. 4 salesmen, come to Lesney, and find 4 high-quality customers every week; 4 this week, 4 next week, and many high-quality customers in the next week. 5 business Jia, come to Lesney, and find 5 high-quality customers every week; dig 5 this week, dig 5 next week, and find many high-quality customers in the next week. 6 salesmen come to Lesney, and they will find 6 high-quality customers every week; 6 this week, 6 next week, and many high-quality customers in the next week. Lin Rucheng stood at the front with his hands behind his back and watched everyone doing exercises. He caught sight of Sha Dangdang standing by the door with blank eyes, and pointed his finger at the late Sha Dangdang majestically, signaling her to stand at the back and follow suit. .Sha Dangdang had no choice but to stand at the end according to the instructions, jumping up and down in embarrassment, she thought while jumping, can she get a high-quality client in a week?This is too difficult, right?It's cool enough to dig one in a month.When reaching the sixth quarter, Sha Dangdang finally confused herself, waving her limbs with her hands and feet, which made her a bit like a troublemaker, Lin Rucheng frowned. After finishing the morning exercises, Lin Rucheng named Sandangdang and asked her to talk about her thoughts.Sadangdang's writing skills are not very good, and when she suddenly had to speak in public, she couldn't help but panicked and said: "Uh, the lyrics are too powerful! I don't know where this is original, very talented! Uh, it's mainly suitable for our company." After Sha Dangdang finished speaking, seeing that Lin Rucheng was silent and staring at her with round eyes, as if he wanted to grab something from her mouth, Sha Dangdang hurriedly added: "Uh, the lyrics are combined with actions, which give people a sense of inspiration." Upward feeling, uh, so, we start every day like this, the sales will definitely go higher!" Some people in the team couldn't help giggling, but Sha Dangdang was very calm and didn't blush. She felt that she didn't do harm to anyone. Forced by life, it is the responsibility of a subordinate to say a few flattering words, no matter what the boss does enough. If they are not up to standard, they should first make their subordinates more professional. This is the attitude that a professional manager should have. Probably because Sha Dangdang was a little flustered when she spoke, but her attitude was sincere, especially when she mentioned working hard and increasing sales, which was very appealing to Lin Rucheng. Those who work hard should practice as soon as possible, and don't underestimate the morning exercises. This is related to the fighting spirit of the team. Without fighting spirit, you can't do well in sales. Kong Lingyi grabbed Sha Dangdang and laughed: "Why are you so shameless? How can you be 'talented' with that set of words?" Sha Tangdang Laipi Lai fell to the ground and said: "Anyway, I can't write such lyrics." Kong Lingyi waved his wings with both hands, and said furtively, "Don't you think the lyrics are familiar? A little bee, fly to the flowers, buzz, buzz..." Sadangdang actually suspected that the idea of ​​this set of self-compiled pull songs came from the famous song "A Little Bee" in karaoke, but singing in broad daylight made everyone look like a pyramid scheme, a little nervous. Sha Dangdang thought for a while and said: "Kong Lingyi, Chairman Mao taught us, 'Dig deep holes, accumulate food widely, and don't seek hegemony', remember?" Kong Lingyi is born in the 70s, and has a little basic knowledge of Chairman Mao's quotations. This one is easy to remember, and she can finally recite it completely, but she never thought that Sha Dangdang, born in the 80s, can also say it. She nodded doubtfully, vaguely feeling Dealing with Sha Dangdang is not as easy as expected, which means that Sha Dangdang is not as deep as she originally thought. Sha Dangdang went on to say: "When Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, the scholar Zhu Sheng proposed three strategic policies to him: 'Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly'. Is this the case?" Kong Lingyi vaguely remembered that there was such a thing, she nodded hesitantly and said, "Someone seems to have mentioned it to Zhu Yuanzhang, so what does that mean?" Sha Dangdang said eloquently: "You can't deny that Chairman Mao is talented, right? Why don't you still learn from Zhu Sheng's three points. This is called 'deformation', understand? It's not 'talented' and you can't change it." Only then did Kong Lingyi understand, and laughed with Sha Dangdang.The two were giggling, when Lin Rucheng's assistant came over and said that the boss asked all three community managers to go to his office for a meeting. When the two heard this, their smiles froze on their faces, and they walked towards Lin Rucheng's office with Yang Rui, another community manager. Go, worrying about being scolded again. Lin Rucheng did not lose his temper this time, and only said one thing: "The morning meeting will be canceled. From today on, you three community managers will return to the office at 5 pm every day to report on your work that day, and we will work together Make an arrangement for the next day's work." When the three of them heard it, it was like a bolt from the blue. They exchanged glances and did not speak. After a while, Sha Dangdang, the youngest, plucked up the courage and asked cautiously: "Boss, how long is each meeting? How long do we have?" Prepare the content of the report according to the time." Lin Rucheng tapped his fat index finger on the table, and said in a dragging voice: "The manager will meet, there are only four of us, there is no need to rigidly set the time, each time we decide according to the actual needs." Now, the hearts of the three of them are completely chilled!In the days that followed, Lin Ruguo lived up to expectations, and it was not uncommon for him to hold the manager's meeting until the early hours of the morning.After the meeting was over, Lin Rucheng made a brief summary of the meeting content and sent it to his immediate boss in Shanghai from time to time, so that he could understand how hard he was working from the time he sent the email, and was still working in the office most of the night. Since the implementation of the manager's regular meeting system, the morning exercises have been led by the administrative director, and Lin Rucheng himself will probably not come into the office until around twelve o'clock at noon.The three community managers dare not be lazy, the indicators are there pressing down, and every evening they have to report what they have done during the day, and they only hate that they can't grow superhuman.Fortunately, although Lesney is a small company, its products and bonus system are good. Working here, the income is still reasonable. In terms of money, the three community managers gritted their teeth and stood up. This day, Sha Dangdang escaped Lin Rucheng's regular meeting because he wanted to invite customers to dinner at night.After dinner, she went back to the office to pick up some things, and found that Kong Lingyi and Yang Rui hadn't left yet. They were sitting opposite each other, and their expressions were not very good. Sha Dangdang hurried over and asked with concern: "The boss lost his temper again?" Kong Lingyi said angrily, "I'll let him pretend!" Sha Dangdang asked curiously, "What is the boss pretending to be?" Yang Rui grinned and said, "Put on the second letter." Sha Dangdang was puzzled: "What does the second letter mean?" Kong Lingyi was amused by Sha Dangdang and laughed: "You are so cute, what do you mean by the second letter?" Sha Dangdang murmured: "A, B, C, D...is B." She suddenly realized. Kong Lingyi yelled, in another year, as soon as the mortgage is paid off, she will say goodbye to Lin Rucheng without delay.Yang Rui also said: "In another year, I will run away after I get the mortgage, so as not to be driven out of my mind by Lin Rucheng. The life of this house slave is really not human." When Sha Dangdang heard that both of them would be able to pay off the mortgage after another year, he couldn't help but enviously said: "I don't think being a house slave is enough." Kong Lingyi sighed and comforted Sha Dangdang and said: "You are still young, don't rush to buy a house right away, save a little more down payment, and the pressure of repaying the loan will be less in the future, so as to save house slaves like us who have to wait for salary every month to pay back the house." The money in the bank is like signing a contract of sale, so I dare not touch it." Yang Rui disagreed with Kong Lingyi's statement. He said: "Since the end of 2003, housing prices in Guangzhou have been going up. I have a classmate who originally had enough money to pay 30% of the down payment two years ago. At that time, he wanted to Save a little more money to buy a house, so as to reduce the pressure on the loan. As a result, the money saved by frugality can’t keep up with the rising housing prices. Now my wife complains every day, so regretful that he wants to die——Let me say, Dangdang If you want to settle down in Guangzhou, you should hurry up and buy a house now. My feeling is that in the next two years, housing prices in Guangzhou will rise faster. You can compare it with Shenzhen and Shanghai. The housing prices in Guangzhou are still relatively healthy and reasonable. price." Listening to Yang Rui's analysis, Kong Lingyi also felt that Sha Dangdang was a bit heartless, so don't mislead others, so she corrected her initial remarks and said: "That's right, you can't just keep your head down and earn money, especially the house. When it's time to strike, strike." Yang Rui also said: "Actually, it's not bad to buy stocks now. The stock market has been bearish for several years. It's time to start. If you have cash, you can buy the bottom and put it in a year. It's no problem to double it." Kong Lingyi obviously didn't believe it and said: "There is such a good thing, why don't you extend the repayment period of the mortgage and use the cash to buy stocks first?" Yang Rui said: "Cough! Don't tell me, I really plan to do this! Anyway, the interest rate on the mortgage is not high, so I will just take it as a loan from the bank to speculate in stocks." Sha Dangdang heard the two talking back and forth, but couldn't get in for a long time. Seeing that she was as confused as a lost lamb, Kong Lingyi laughed and said: "Yang Rui, you are stupid for calling Sha Dangdang, should she go now?" Should I buy a house or go to the stock market to buy the bottom?” Yang Rui said: "You can buy a house or a stock, but don't put your money in the bank. It's the most stupid thing to hold cash now! Ten years of gold, where can you find such a good investment opportunity! Besides, don't invest How to keep up with the pace of CPI growth!" Kong Lingyi patted Sha Dangdang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Investment requires capital. The key is that Dangdang has only worked for a few years, so the capital is not enough." Sha Dangdang nodded again and again: "That's right, I only have that little money, and it will be gone after I make up the down payment." Yang Rui said: "Then you should quickly make up your mind, either buy a house, or go to the stock market to buy the bottom, in short, don't just sit still. If you make money, let's abandon Lin Rucheng!" Let Sandangdang buy home appliances and decorate a room. She is very capable and willing to do it, but her mind is not used to thinking about too complicated and macroeconomic issues, and she is especially afraid of in-depth thinking. She was convinced by Yang Rui Up and down, no idea. When Yang Rui walked away, Sha Dangdang asked Kong Lingyi cautiously: "Lingyi, just now Yang Rui said that if you buy stocks now, you can double them in one year. Do you think it is possible?" Kong Lingyi looked at her expectant face, and asked her back: "Have you played stocks before? Do you have financial knowledge in this area?". Sha Dangdang shook his head blankly, obviously pure and ignorant. Kong Lingyi moved closer and lowered her voice and said, "Hey, Dangdang, let me tell you the truth. I bought some stocks in May 2001, and I was locked up as soon as I bought it. Four and a half years have passed, and 2006 is coming. Not only did I not get rid of the problem, but now only one-third of the 100,000 yuan I invested in at the beginning is left! It is not an honorable thing for ordinary people to tell him this experience easily! After countless painful nights, I am completely thinking It’s clear, I’m investing for a long time, and I’m going to leave that stock to my grandson. My husband said that since I decided not to worry about covering up positions and unwinding, our family has returned to a normal life——Dangdang, you know, as long as The stockholders who have one-third of their capital are not just me, Kong, but the vast majority. If you don’t believe me, ask Yang Rui to see if he is willing to tell you the truth. Who knows that he has lost money in stocks in the past few years? How much? The stock market is risky, and investment must be cautious. You can figure it out yourself.” Sha Dangdang's heart turned cold when he heard it, he opened his mouth, and said after a while, "Then, should I hurry up and buy a house?" Kong Lingyi said: "This can be considered. It is estimated that the housing prices in Guangzhou will probably go up—for reference only. You can take the idea yourself. However, there is one thing Yang Rui said is quite right, just keep your head down and save money. No, you have to know how to manage money.” Sha Dangdang said earnestly: "You are right about one thing. Investment requires capital. I don't have much capital now—I have to work hard first to earn more capital." Kong Lingyi patted her on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Don't worry, it takes time to accumulate wealth. There is no such thing as reaching the sky in one step. I was caught by others because I wanted to reach the sky in one step. In short, for the sake of money , let's endure Lin Rucheng's abnormality together." It is not easy to earn more money, however, Ye Tao added a ray of warmth and excitement to Sha Dangdang's days alone in a foreign land. Sha Dangdang feels that earning money and being a manager are more meaningful. She has set her goals in life clearly and ranked them in order of difficulty. She is determined to have a decent career and a three-bedroom apartment. The house, a pair of upper-middle looks, a handsome husband, and a first-hand "Bora". Sha Dangdang decided to earn all of the above items, show them to his parents, so that they can be proud, and show them to Li Li, so that he can review the old saying "Scholars should look at each other with admiration for three days". Sun Jiandong took a look, which made him realize that the loss had happened.
