Chapter 180: Are you threatening me?

'Please don't look at me with such suspicious looks, I'm not just saying this. Well, I don't think you all know me very well. I was previously doing something else. I once worked on a project where I said I could achieve 100 million. At the time, no one thought it was possible, but in the end I worked towards that goal and I achieved it in less than a month.'

'Since I was able to do it in Brighton, I think I can do the same here at Jackel.'

Zhou Ming continued, 'Before I came here to take up my post, I did a comprehensive study of the company, including looking at its historical performance. But I found that the company had once had a monthly performance of 15 million, or did those results not exist?'

In response Fu Tao explained, 'Vice President Zhou, the sales you mentioned did happen, but that was a long time ago, when the company was at its peak. There were more than 200 people in the company, from sales to the factory. But now we don't even have 20 people left! completely incomparable.'

'Where there's a will, there's a way. If we give up because of various objective difficulties, then there will be no miracles in this world. Besides, I am also aware of these objectively existing difficulties, which is why I set the goal of 2 million, right?

As Zhou Ming's words fell, Fu Tao opened his mouth to say something, but Zhou Ming didn't want to explain anything to him and said directly, 'In fact, I wrote down this number here today number here today is not to discuss its feasibility with you, but to set a target that we must achieve. We must work towards it this month, and everything we do is for him!'

At this point Zhou Ming's tone eased a little and he continued, 'I know this is a very difficult figure, so let's ignore it for now and put it aside. We can first take everything out and see how far away we are from this figure.'

Zhou Ming's first naturally chose the marketing department: 'Manager Fu, if we say that this two million figure is the result of a hard-fought battle, then you are definitely my most most trusted and most important ace unit. So first of all, I need you and your brothers to sort out your respective sales leads and list all the orders you may have. I will need to hear your report later.'

Zhou Ming then turned his attention to the other side: 'Manager Liu, if we really manage to take orders of two million or more, will your production capacity be sufficient?'

This was the manager of the technical research and development and engineering department manager named Liu Qiang, is a forty-something engineer, and one of the earliest employees of Jack & Co. He has always managed the manufacturing side of the factory, and later, as the company's situation worsened day by day, the layoffs became more severe each time, and he gradually took over the technology and research and development departments as well.

Now faced with Zhou Ming's question, he thought for a moment and nodded, saying, 'I think there is no problem. Although there are also many people missing in the factory due to layoffs, the equipment that can produce 10 million orders are still there, so it can be said that as long as there are orders, we can recruit workers at any time. Even if we are unlucky and cannot recruit people, we can still temporarily rent them from other companies and still get the job done.'

Nodding, Zhou Ming looks back at the marketing department and asks, 'Manager Fu, have you finished compiling the leads from the marketing department? How long will it be before I can hear your report?'

'If Vice President Zhou wants to hear it, I think we can report to you at any time,'

Fu Tao says and handed Zhou Ming his notebook, saying, 'This is the list of possible orders we have compiled. I hope it won't disappoint Vice President Zhou too much.'

Zhou Ming took over Fu Tao notebook. As soon as he saw the figures, he immediately understood what Fu Tao meant by not being too disappointed. Tang Ran also came over to take a look . She scowled and snapped, 'Manager Fu, the figures from your marketing department are way off the mark. Only 200,000? That's almost the same as last month's company performance!'

'President Tang, I understand understand your determination and that of Vice President Zhou, but this is already the limit of our capabilities. I believe that before taking over the company, you, President Tang, should already have understood the current situation of the company,' Fu Tao explained to Tang Ran as best he could.

'I'm sorry, Manager Fu, Manager, it is hard for me to believe that this is the company's true current capabilities based on the list you have provided.' Zhou Ming said as he tore the page from his notebook, crumpled it up, and threw it in the trash. 'It seems I need to help you re-examine the company's market and customer issues, and I don't rule out the possibility of reallocation.'

As he spoke, Zhou Ming his sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces. He keenly noticed that a young Chinese man in the marketing department was obviously agitated when he heard the words 'reallocate markets and customers'. So Zhou Ming immediately pointed at him and said, 'Can you stand up and introduce yourself to me?'

The young man froze, clearly unable to believe that Zhou Ming had suddenly called his name.

However, he fainted immediately. He quickly came to his senses and stood up, saying, 'Hello, President Tang, Vice President Zhou. My name is Zhou Heng. I was hired by Jieke two months ago, and the current finance manager has asked me to take charge of the real estate industry.'

While Zhou Heng was introducing himself, Cheng Qian also whispered to Zhou Ming that this Zhou Heng was the only newcomer to remain at Jieke. He was under protection for the first month, and in the second month After taking over, although Zhou Heng's sales performance was not very good, it was still very top-notch among all newcomers, and even compared to other veterans, it was not much less.

Listening to Cheng Qian and Zhou introduce themselves, Zhou Ming nodded and said, 'So it turns out you're from my hometown. Zhou Heng, I'm very happy to meet you. Just now I heard you say that the manager wants ask you to take charge of the real estate industry. You don't seem to be happy with this request. So which industry do you want to take charge of specifically?'

Zhou Heng hesitated for a , as if he were a little worried about Fu Tao's attitude. However, when he saw Zhou Ming's encouraging look, he immediately said, 'I want to be responsible for the education industry, because I was responsible for this area in my previous IT company. At the beginning, said the same thing during the interview. I don't understand why I ended up in the real estate industry after I officially started working, when I had no previous contact with it at all.'

Zhou Ming gave Fu Tao and Fu Tao immediately understood what Zhou Ming meant. He said to Zhou Ming, 'Vice President Zhou is like this. Someone was always in charge of the education industry, but the real estate sector was a blank, so I adjusted him to go there.'

Zhou Ming nodded and asked Zhou Heng, 'You said you had worked in the education industry for another company before. Do you still have any clients? I mean clients who can place an order recently.'

Facing this question Zhou Heng thought very seriously for a moment and then nodded and said, 'Yes, and there is more than one.'

'Then can you tell me the information about these customers?' Zhou Ming then said to him, 'Don't worry, I'm not going to steal your customers. I just need to verify something to ensure authenticity, and if possible, I also need you to tell me how many orders you can get from these customers.'

Zhou Heng gave several customers. Ming wrote down the information and the orders these customers could give, and then asked Tao, 'Do these customers overlap with yours?'

Tao did not hesitate to reply, 'These are all my customers!'

'Zhou Heng said he expected to get more than 150,000 orders, so how much can you get from these customers?' asked Zhou Ming.

'Vice President Zhou, please forgive I'm sorry to be blunt, but this figure is meaningless. I could easily inflate it to 2 million or even 10 million. What we need to do is to be realistic, not boast, right?' Fu Tao said.

'In other words, Fu Manager, you won't be able to reach that figure, will you?' Zhou Ming simply ignored Fu Tao's nonsense and went straight to the point, saying, 'From now on, these customers will temporarily belong to Zhou Heng, but there is one point I have to make one thing clear: Zhou Heng, if you can't meet your sales target this month, then starting next month, these customers will have nothing more to do with you. Do you understand?'

Zhou Heng happily nodded nodding, said he remembered it all. But at this point, Fu Tao was very dissatisfied and said, 'Vice President Zhou, this is unfair. These are all my customers. You have no right to give them to someone else!'

Zhou Ming didn't even bat an eyelid at Fu Tao's protest protest, Zhou Ming didn't even bat an eyelid and said, 'Manager Fu, I'll only say this once: customers belong to the company, not anyone's private property. If you can't produce results, you should hand it over to someone more capable.'

Fu Tao sneered said Fu Tao with a sneer, 'Vice President Zhou, I called you Vice President Zhou out of respect for President Tang. I also really hope to get along with you and President Tang, so I hope you can think carefully before you say it again.'

Zhou Ming was amused: ' Is there something wrong with what I said? I don't think I need to make any changes.'

Fu Tao spread his hands and said, 'Okay, Vice President Zhou, if you insist, but I think you must have made a mistake. How can you say that I can't achieve results? Then you should also check the quarterly report on Jacko's performance and see who actually placed the most orders with Jacko. Otherwise, do you really think that a few people who have sold just a few personal computers can support a performance of 200,000?'

'And now, you actually want me to give my customers to a rookie who has only been in the company for less than a quarter of a year?' Fu Tao said, "then I can hardly imagine whether the company's performance this month will still reach 150,000.'

Zhou Ming frowned: "Manager Fu Tao, can I take this as a threat?'

'Oh no, I don't think that I meant it. I can more understand it as a way of communication between Vice President Zhou and me.' Fu Tao then turned to Tang Ran, 'President Tang, I personally have great respect for you, and I have reason to believe that you will lead Jieke to new heights again. However, it seems that Vice President Zhou is a little unstable right now, and I think he needs to calm down. I suggest that we ask him to leave for now. What do you think...'

Before Fu Tao could finish his sentence finished, Tang Ran raised his finger and pointed at him, saying, 'You're the one who should go!'

Fu Tao was dumbfounded . He looked at Tang Ran with disbelief on his face: 'Me? Go out? President Tang, have you made a mistake? I'm the Marketing Manager, the person who places the most orders each month at Jieke. Are you sure you want me to go out?'

If this were anyone else might consider it, but Tang Ran cared deeply about Zhou Ming, so she said without hesitation, 'Yes, I want you to go. Not only do I want you to go, I want to fire you immediately!'

Hearing Tang Ran say that she fire her, Pu Tao was delighted. 'You may not know that I have been with Jieke for two years, and for one and a half of those years I was the marketing manager. Even though there were five CEOs in that time, I was still the marketing manager. Do you know why? create orders for the company. Once I leave the company, it will immediately collapse. So the board of directors would rather replace the president than me.'

'Do you do you all understand?' Fu Tao stood up, put his hands on the table, and stared at Zhou Ming and Tang Ran, saying, 'I don't want to do that, so don't be shameless.'

Zhou Ming was also happy. He slowly walked back to his seat and said, 'Is that so? Then it seems that we are going to put on a big show today...'

At this time, suddenly a voice said, 'Okay, let's end it here!'
