It's Lonely at the Top

"I was married once, but later I got divorced," Yiren didn't hide it. She felt that she got along quite well with this landlady.

"Don't work too hard. Men don't like girls who are too strong. But looking at your face, you're a person who will enjoy great wealth and honor. You'll definitely be happy in the future," the landlady said.

Yiren smiled. She was naturally competitive, and indeed, this might scare away many good men.

"Thank you! The porridge you cook is also very delicious. Your porridge restaurant will definitely become popular."

"Actually, as long as you like it, I'm very happy. As for whether the porridge restaurant will become popular or not, I don't really care. You know, although cooking porridge seems simple, there's actually a lot of knowledge in it. For example, what kind of rice to use for what kind of porridge, what kind of stock to match, what raw materials to choose, how long to cook, and so on. You have to put your heart into it! Otherwise, the porridge won't taste perfectly delicious. It's just like our life. We need to treat everything with our heart."

"Do everything well with our heart," Yiren said.

"Yes, that's it!"

Yiren didn't expect that coming to eat a bowl of porridge was like participating in a meditation session, and she had realized some life philosophies. Things that seemed simple often contained something extraordinary, as long as we experience them with our heart.

"Secretary He, please inform the supervisor of the Sales Department to have a meeting at 10:30 a.m.," Yiren instructed He Yuyun on the phone.

"Okay, Ms. Yi."

At 10 o'clock, in the large conference room,

Today's Sales Department supervisor meeting was presided over by Yiren herself.

"The sales volume of Hefeng Xuju last month showed a significant downward trend. What's your opinion on this? Besides the fact that the unit price is higher than that of Yunding Zhishang at the same level, do you have any other opinions?" Yiren opened the PPT and showed a comparison of two photos. On the left was the panoramic view of Hefeng Xuju, and on the right was the panoramic view of Yunding Zhishang.

"This is our most obvious disadvantage at present," someone finally spoke up after a few seconds of silence.

"That is, all of you here unanimously believe that the price being higher than that of Yunding Zhishang is the obvious reason for the decline in our sales. Then, I'd like to ask all of you here, what methods do we have to overcome such an obvious disadvantage? Should we reduce the price?"

"At present, it seems that this is the only way," the Sales Department manager said.

"Are there any other ways?"

There was still complete silence in the room.

"Okay, then you all agree to restore the sales volume by reducing the price." Yiren said and opened the next PPT. The two particularly eye-catching words "price reduction" appeared.

"But I want to say that Ruicheng has never adopted the strategy of price wars! So I insist on not reducing the price." As Yiren spoke, she put a big cross on the two words "price reduction" on the PPT.

"Then if we don't reduce the price, are we going to ask each employee of Hefeng Xuju to sell one of the remaining suites?" Yiren asked.

This caused the attendees to start whispering.

Yiren knew that she had become the General Manager of Ruicheng at a young age, and many people were already dissatisfied. So now, by insisting on not reducing the price despite all the opposition, she had naturally become the target of criticism. Many people were waiting to see how she, as their superior, would clean up the mess and turn the situation around.

"Then what do you think we should do, Ms. Yi?" Someone challenged her openly.

"Manager Lin Qihan, right?" Yiren still smiled and said to the person who had challenged her openly. "If you were a customer now and I told you that I have two houses with exactly the same appearance in my hand, but one of them is 30% more expensive than the other. You would definitely tell me that you want to buy the cheaper one, right?"

"Of course. Only a fool would choose the more expensive one," Lin Qihan said, still in an arrogant tone.

"Okay, none of us here are fools, and our customers are definitely not either. Since we want them to accept the more expensive house, we must provide additional value. So now, please all put down your current work and go with me to visit Hefeng Xuju. Walk into Hefeng Xuju with the mentality of a homebuyer." Yiren led everyone to Hefeng Xuju. Although everyone didn't know what she was going to do, as subordinates, they could only follow. "First of all, welcome everyone to Hefeng Xuju. Hefeng Xuju implies harmony, harvest, and hope, that is, every owner who lives here can feel the warmth of home and have a strong backing. Now, please follow me into the elevator. We'll go to the top floor first."

"Manager Lin Qihan, do you feel that this elevator is very stable and quiet? It took less than ten seconds for us to reach the top floor, and we didn't even feel it moving, yet it reached the designated floor."

"Really? It's okay, I guess."

"Yes. Because the elevator in Hefeng Xuju adopts the most advanced hydraulic top-lift technology. Compared with the pull-up elevators used in general properties, it's not only safer but also more stable! It makes taking the elevator no longer a waiting process but a kind of enjoyment."

Some people began to nod.

"Then follow me in and take a look. Every suite here is designed by professional designers. From the living room to the bathroom, there are our considerate designs. No matter where you are, you can enjoy the warmth and comfort of home. Even every piece of glass is also the result of our careful design. Since we're located near the city center, in addition to having a very high investment value, we also have to endure the hustle and bustle of the city. I believe this is the last thing you want to feel when you want to fall asleep at night. So all the glass in our property adopts a brand-new noise-proof design." As Yiren spoke, she pulled the window to let everyone feel how strong the sound insulation effect of the glass was. "Hefeng Xuju allows you to have investment value while saying no to noise. This is something that ordinary properties can't achieve."

"The main building materials of our property are all imported steel bars, and their toughness is twice that of domestic steel bars. That is, our property can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8! And all the coatings are made of waterproof, fireproof, and environmentally friendly materials!"

"I believe that all of you are definitely meticulous when choosing your own home. Because our home must be not only warm and conveniently located but also, most importantly, the safest! Do you agree?"

At this moment, the supervisors who were on the tour almost simultaneously burst into enthusiastic applause.
