Chapter 5 It's About to Happen
Wednesday, July 14, 2012, sunny.
Yangcheng Golden Sun Technology Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the business of power integration. The entire building, with nine floors in total, belongs to the owner of Golden Sun;
However, since Golden Sun is not very large at present, it only occupies three floors;
The other five floors were rented out by the boss of Golden Sun. The first floor is the lobby and conference room.
Ma Yibo and five others took the bus to the company.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar building, Ma Yibo was filled with emotions;
In his last life, he spent two years here;
Although it is not long, I have tasted the ups and downs in the workplace.
Workers coming to work one after another walked in from the door of the building;
Ma Yibo and more than 20 fresh graduates were taken to the multi-purpose hall on the first floor by HR staff to wait for the leader's follow-up arrangements.
On the first day of employment, although the department has been determined;
Especially Ma Yibo and others are in the sales department;
But the sales department is divided into five groups, and each group has a corresponding supervisor;
These fresh graduates will be selected by these supervisors and then work in their own groups;
For the whole morning, everyone was like puppets, but almost all excited;
Because this is their first day in the workplace.
When I was in school, I thought school was the hardest and wanted to work as soon as possible to make money;
When I really reached the age of working, after working for a while, I found that school was the most comfortable, and I started to miss school life;
Perhaps, this is the siege;
An irreversible siege.
One morning, to be exact, before 9:30, everyone's arrangements had been determined;
Ma Yibo was placed in the East China group just like in his previous life;
Everyone is in their own office slots. Old employees contact customers. When new employees have nothing to do, they take the company's product manual and look through it aimlessly;
As a newcomer, the first thing is to get to know old colleagues;
This is not a big problem for Ma Yibo. Although many people have forgotten their names at first, after being reminded, everyone basically knows it;
The job for a newcomer is boring at the beginning;
Sending and receiving faxes is a job that takes about one to two weeks. It does not have any technical content, but it must be experienced.
As a sales engineer, meetings every morning and evening are essential;
However, this kind of meeting is also very simple. A group of seven or eight people find an empty seat, sit in a circle, and talk about today's work arrangements and the results of the day's work;
Ma Yibo was disgusted with this in his previous life;
As sales, especially sales of such industrial products;
It is almost impossible to achieve anything in one day, but you still have to report and let your supervisor know the situation.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the company got off work. As a new graduate, there was nothing to work overtime, so everyone left in twos and threes;
Thinking about the future, we will follow the old path of the previous life without any technical content;
Ma Yibo was a little confused, so he thought, should he resign and settle the matter?
However, since there is no start-up capital and no suitable project has been found, I can only work temporarily, otherwise even the place to live will be a problem!
After get off work, everyone walked out of the park talking and laughing;
However, Ma Yibo saw a salesman next to the bus stop, and this salesman was the salesman who applied for China Merchants Bank's credit card;
This made Ma Yibo pause;
In his last life, Ma Yibo did not apply for a credit card today;
But the job will be stable, probably in a month;
It was also in this place that a small table was placed in front of the salesperson, with a credit card roll-up display next to it, as well as gifts;
And that time when applying for a credit card, the limit approved by Ma Yibo was as high as 30,000;
Maybe it was because Ma Yibo's company was of good quality, or maybe the bank released money during that period;
Regardless of the reason, I was indeed granted a credit line of 30,000 yuan.
Thinking of this, Ma Yibo let the others go first, while he walked to the other party;
Although the current thirty thousand is not much, it can still do something;
At the very least, if you encounter a monster stock, you can make tens of thousands of dollars.
"Handsome guy, apply for our bank credit card now. It not only has a high limit, but also offers various discounts for daily consumption. If you apply today, I can also give you a trolley case"?
The clerk who handled the credit card saw Ma Yibo walking in his direction and quickly came up to introduce him and pointed to the trolley suitcase behind him.
"Okay, let's get one then";
It took more than ten minutes to fill in various information and take photos with a tablet computer, and the salesman also said that he would go to the company tomorrow to take a company photo;
The process is exactly the same as in the previous life;
Ma Yibo didn't pay much attention to these, and only made one request, which was to release the card as soon as possible;
In fact, the clerks who handle various bank credit cards on the street are not bank employees;
Instead, the bank directly outsources the credit card processing business to third-party companies, and the third-party companies recruit people to handle credit cards in various crowded places;
After the credit card application is successfully approved and the user activates the card, the salesperson who applies for the card will receive a commission of 80-150 yuan;
The specific commission size varies from bank to bank;
Similarly, the same bank provides different amounts of money at different times.
Ma Yibo didn't know this at the beginning in his last life. Later, when he started his own business, he had many friends who had done business in this area before. After communicating with each other, he understood the secrets.
Following the lights, I walked home alone and called an old friend. How is the weather there?
This is Ma Yibo’s mood at this moment;
Instead of taking the bus, I walked back to the dormitory step by step along the road;
The employee dormitories rented by the company are not far away, two or three kilometers away in a straight line;
Looking at the lush hillsides on both sides of the road, Ma Yibo was filled with emotion;
In another seven or eight years, this road will become the core avenue of Huangpu;
The hillsides on both sides of the road have been bulldozed and built with office buildings or apartments;
But now, it does look deserted.
In the previous life, when he first came here to work, Ma Yibo took the bus to and from get off work every day. He didn't have to fight for seats at all, he just got on the bus and got his seat;
By 2013, it was basically impossible to get a seat on the bus without grabbing a seat;
In 2014, if you don’t rush to get on the bus, you may not even be able to get on the bus;
This is how fast Huangpu is developing:
Changing with each passing day!
Every month, it changes;
After a long time, I suddenly realized that something had changed!
This is the current era. There will always be people who rise to the top, and there will always be people who seize opportunities.
Ma Yibo has experienced such boring days for two weeks, and he really doesn't want to continue;
Because, in the past two weeks, Ma Yibo held morning and evening meetings almost every day, sent and received faxes, and read product manuals;
The only good news is that Ma Yibo's credit card has been approved, and the limit is still 30,000.
In the past two weeks, Ma Yibo called Liu Wei almost every other day, worrying that anything unexpected would happen to him, and he would eventually fall back on the same old path;
Precisely because of Ma Yibo's frequent phone calls, the relationship between the two returned to what it was before;
In other words, we are closer than before. After all, we meet old friends in a foreign country.
