I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 72 My Boss is a God of Literature Reincarnated
"Mr. Guan, we've come to Jiangning with great sincerity. We not only want to become the distributor of 'Zhuangyuan Jinbang' (Top Scholar's List), but we also hope to sign an endorsement contract with Zhang An. We are the largest health product R&D and manufacturing company in Hunan Province, with extensive experience in oral liquids, and we hope..."

"Manager Ma, may I interrupt for a moment?"

After exchanging only a few words with the client he had scheduled a meeting with, Guan Changsheng interrupted him, "Here I need to briefly explain my company's situation. Manager Ma, your company, 'Sanxiang Bio,' is indeed a nationally renowned large company, and we do value cooperation with large companies. However, the student Zhang An you just mentioned is not a spokesperson for our company, but my boss."

"..."

The sales manager of "Sanxiang Biotechnology," dressed in a suit in the sweltering summer heat, looked completely bewildered. His mind went blank for a moment, and after a while, looking at Guan Changsheng's determined eyes, he knew that this was no joke.

"Didn't Manager Ma see the sign at the main entrance when he came in? It has been changed from 'Xianlin Health Care' to 'Zhang An Health'. Zhang An is our company's chairman, my boss. So, to avoid any unnecessary trouble, I'm reminding Manager Ma in advance."

"I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry, Mr. Guan, I'm so sorry, I didn't do my homework properly..."

"It's alright. The boss said that as long as we can make money, a little misunderstanding is nothing. Harmony brings wealth, after all."

As he spoke, Guan Changsheng smoothed his hair slightly. He now had a dedicated assistant to do his image design, and he was no longer the decadent middle-aged "scapegoat" he used to be. His temperament was comparable to Xu Wenqiang. With his slicked-back hair and a well-fitting custom-made shirt, his height of 1.78 meters was now a solid 1.8 meters.

confidence.

Calm.

"My boss is a reincarnation of the God of Literature, so business dealings should be conducted in a refined manner. As long as Manager Ma's conditions are suitable, there's nothing we can't discuss. But let me make this clear from the outset: our company is a very responsible company and we're not particularly keen on profits. If there are, great; if not, it's not a big deal. After all, as I just said, my boss is a reincarnation of the God of Literature, so business dealings should be conducted in a refined manner."

"..."

Divine gold.

Manager Ma was thinking, "You're just pretending to be someone else," but at this moment, "Sanxiang Bio" had already begun its internal strife. Only someone like him, without any backing, would be sent out to expand the market.

In the past, top salespeople followed top managers to conquer the market. Now it's all bullshit. Everyone just waits for distributors to come to them, hoping to get a spot on a major TV station for an advertisement, reap the benefits, and then wait for next year.

This cycle repeated itself for many years in Hunan Province, and some of the "passing the parcel" projects they were involved in were on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, the former top sales team members had keen insight. Even though they were still fighting amongst themselves while fishing by Dongting Lake, it didn't hinder their years of experience and keen market sense, which led them to judge that "Top Scholar Gold List" would be a hit.

Whether or not DHA is added to the water, it won't affect the fact that "Top Scholar Gold List" is sure to be a hit. Moreover, judging from the feedback from some directly operated stores in Jiangkou Province, quite a few people have already come to ask if they have "Top Scholar Gold List".

It's at the same level as "turtle essence".

"So...Mr. Guan, what would be a more elegant way to put it?"

"It's very simple. Our company only handles the shipping; how you sell it is none of our business. However, you are not allowed to label your products, counterfeit, or imitate others, and you are not allowed to use our company's product name to sell other companies' goods..."

Just like reciting a menu, it completely numbed Manager Ma.

So I'm just a second-tier wholesaler?

In fact, Manager Ma was also thinking that after acquiring agents, he would expand franchise stores in Hunan Province, collect franchise fees, and then immediately switch to direct sales.

He felt that "Sanxiang Bio" was about to explode, and that if it weren't for the two or three people who used to follow him, he wouldn't be able to make ends meet with his current monthly salary of around nine hundred yuan.

Two years ago, he could earn over 80,000 yuan a year, but this year, not only has his performance been directly eroded, but his sales team's bonus has also been postponed. They say it will be paid at the end of the year, but that's never really certain.

While Guan Changsheng finished reciting the menu, he was actually sizing up the "Sanxiang Bio" sales manager named Ma Shuang.

Sales manager... Anyone who goes into sales is a manager.

Guan Changsheng could smell the same scent he used to have on this guy—the scent of a "bad guy" that he couldn't hide no matter what.

After Ma Shuang left, Guan Changsheng said to his secretary, "Have Lao Wang drive after them for a while and see where they live."

"Yes, Mr. Guan."

Driver Lao Wang used to drive for the factory, but he was forced to do packaging. After Guan Changsheng turned his life around, he got Lao Wang to drive for him, in a brand new Audi A6.

After the secretary left, Guan Changsheng picked up the phone and called the chairman's assistant.

Zhang Da'an has an assistant's office used to coordinate personnel management among "Zhang An Education", "Zhang An Health" and "Zhang An Media".

They weren't professional administrative secretaries for large corporations, but rather young people in the system in Shazhou City with little opportunity to climb the corporate ladder. They were highly likely to remain clerks for life, and with functional departments becoming increasingly specialized, they had no chance even when the economy was booming. Their fate was to endure hardship and do more work.

So, during the process of getting to know each other, he broke away from the system and came to work for Zhang Da'an.

Using these people is beneficial because they are familiar with local administrative management and it saves effort when dealing with the government. You don't need to find out who to contact or which department to contact beforehand, and then you won't be in a rush.

It's quite worry-free.

The salary and benefits are naturally not low. The starting salary for a full-time employee in the chairman's assistant office is 60,000 yuan a year, and then the salary and bonus are determined based on the business content and the work schedule.

At places like "Zhang An Education," it may seem like there are winter and summer vacations, so things should be easy, but in reality, because they need to organize long-term training for lecturers and coaches, the schedule is actually full attendance.

In addition, there's the management of the Mazhou branch of Xindongwei Port Middle School. If it weren't for the fact that there's not much to consider, someone with an "official addiction" might not be used to receiving this salary.

The real and relaxed task was that of the Xianlin Factory in Chengdong District, Jiangning City, under "Zhang An Health". Because of the great sales of "Zhuangyuan Jinbang", the assistants and assistant secretaries were mainly responsible for taking the headquarters accountant and the people from the Shazhou City Accounting Firm to other places to check the accounts.

Zhang Da'an's third-party audit was conducted by a local state-owned accounting firm in Shazhou City, so the city was quite clear about Zhang Da'an's cash growth.

Of course, this was just a little trick to make the Municipal Bureau determined to support Zhang Da'an's family, instead of trying to find a similar competitor to compete with Zhang Da'an.

There's no time in America for bureaucratic infighting.

Because he's always very busy, the administration of Zhang Da'an's companies is still somewhat of a makeshift operation, except for "Zhang An Education," which is a very worry-free business. As long as the students don't perform a free fall, they don't have to worry about too many things.

The situation with "Zhang An Health" is much more complicated. There are accounts from various channels within the province, peers both inside and outside the province, and supervision from multiple departments in the provincial capital. If there is any slight disturbance, they will definitely ask him how to handle it.

This time, however, Guan Changsheng's call to the "Health Business Department Assistant" wasn't about business. Instead, he wanted the assistant to report to the boss about whether to poach a sales manager named Ma Shuang from "Sanxiang Biotechnology"...
