Liu Yan has not been idle for a day during this period of time.

In the first few days, I held books such as "Cihai", "Guanwen Guanzhi", and "Three Hundred Tang Poems" that I had planned to throw away all day long, and kept reading.

After reading it for a few days, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

As soon as I shook my head, I went to Xinhua Bookstore in Xinjiekou and bought a lot of professional books on marketing, brand image, and product planning, as well as a map of various cities in Jiangning Province.

Back home, Liu Yan frowned, thinking hard, with his mouth holding a ballpoint pen in his mouth, always muttering words silently.

Dozens of pieces of paper were scattered on the desk and floor, all filled with inexplicable pictures and texts that only he could understand.

Fan Lili has passed the MBI interview and is busy going through the handover procedures of PC-Brsnd and the MBI onboarding process in the past two days.

Although the position is still a sales representative, the company is different and the salary and benefits are also different. After all, MBI is the world's top computer company.

According to her words, this is called a career:

It is the process of changes in career, position and realization of career goals in a person's life.

Everyone should take advantage of the opportunities that come their way so that they can gain maximum success and satisfaction from their career.

Zhou Haiyang is currently busy running around delivering gifts to customers.

The so-called gifts are actually New Year calendars, desk calendars and efficiency manuals printed by Huayu Company.

Until one day, Zhou Haiyang suddenly realized that Liu Yan's abnormal behavior during this period seemed to have lasted for more than ten days.

He couldn't help but ask: "Why do you seem to be obsessed with it lately? What are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan immediately pulled out a cut piece of "Ningcheng Daily" from under a pile of books and handed it to Zhou Haiyang, and then continued to pace around the room and think about it.

Zhou Haiyang took a look and found out that it was a company called Weilong. More than half a month ago, it solicited product marketing plans with prizes from the public.

He returned the newspaper to Liu Yan and asked, "What does this company do?"

"Making high-tech small appliances, air fresheners and the like."

Zhou Haiyang said "Oh" absentmindedly and said nothing more.

Before Weilong Company solicited product marketing plans, Liu Yan finally sent out the application plans.

Unexpectedly, he became even busier.

He ran downstairs twice a day and stood in the cold wind, waiting for the postman to arrive.

The rest of the time, I waited quietly by the newly installed telephone, as if I was ready to receive orders from my superiors at any time.

Even if Fan Lili came over after get off work every night, it seemed difficult to divert his mind and attention.

Fan Lili couldn't help but smile and said: "You are really serious about it. I guess there must be at least a few thousand people in Jiangning Province who are as concerned as you are, so the probability of your plan being selected is only one in a few thousand."

"Tch! To others it's one part in a few thousand, but to me, Liu Yan, it's 100%. If you don't believe me, just wait and see." Liu Yan was full of confidence, with solemnity, solemnity and calm written all over his face.

"Hey, what is your plan? Tell me." Fan Lili asked curiously.

"You will naturally know when the results are announced." After Liu Yan finished speaking, a look of determination appeared on his face and he stared straight ahead.

Fan Lili hasn't seen Liu Yan so focused on one thing for a long time.

She was happy for him, but also worried that the upcoming bad news would make him feel disappointed again.

Uneasily, she and Zhou Haiyang looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

…

In the blink of an eye, the new year has entered.

On this day, Zhou Haiyang dragged his exhausted body up to the sixth floor.

As soon as he entered the house, he complained to Liu Yan: "I'm really exhausted. I rode all the way to Yuhuatai, then to Xinjiekou, and then rode back again."

"You feel tired now? You have to endure hardships to become a great person. Those who work in sales can't even run this far, so they might as well lie down and rest." Liu Yan said.

"No! The key is that it was all in vain, nothing was gained, and the whole family was not settled."

Liu Yan stared at Zhou Haiyang: "Hey, did you do customer analysis before running? Did you understand the customer's needs? Did you understand the situation of your competitors?"

Zhou Haiyang looked confused when he heard this and shook his head.

Liu Yan continued: "You don't even know these minimum customer information? It would be strange if you didn't run away in vain."

Then, Liu Yan looked at Zhou Haiyang's frustrated look with an expressionless face: "It's normal. Originally, what you were pursuing was not the success rate, but just exercise to exercise your body.

I'm different from you. If you do one thing, you must achieve it. You must first strategize before you can win a thousand-mile victory. Do you know Sun Tzu's Art of War? Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

Zhou Haiyang was so choked up by Liu Yan's words that he was speechless.

Liu Yan turned to ask: "Hey, let me ask you, is it more convenient to get to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum from here by bike or by bus?"

"You'd better take a taxi." Zhou Haiyang was holding back his anger when Liu Yan said that just now, so he replied angrily.

Liu Yan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well, you are right."

"Hey, why are you going to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum?" Zhou Haiyang glanced at Liu Yan and asked curiously.

Liu Yan replied nonchalantly: "What, Wei Long invited me to their company and said he wanted to give me a prize."

"Ah?! Is your plan really chosen? Okay, Liu Yan, you're really smart!" Zhou Haiyang patted Liu Yan's shoulder hard and asked, "Has it been announced in Ningcheng Daily?"

"Hi! It's a piece of cake. It will take two days for the newspaper to arrive. I just received their letter today and received a phone call in the afternoon, saying that the reporter will cover the entire award ceremony at their company."

Zhou Haiyang was immediately excited when he heard this: "So grand? Hey, does Lili know? Call her quickly and give her a surprise."

With that said, he handed over the phone on the table.

"What's so surprising about this? It's expected." Liu Yan's face was full of indifference, and he also pretended to be reluctant, lazily taking the phone from Zhou Haiyang.

"Hey, what plan did you propose? Let me learn and learn from you." Zhou Haiyang looked at Liu Yan and asked impatiently.

When Liu Yan heard this, he paused, hung up the phone, held the phone, and said casually: "I made a total of three options.

The first plan is to advertise in newspapers and media. I made several advertising plans at the same time for their reference.

This solution costs money, but the results are quick.

The second plan is to sign distribution agreements with major department stores, open special counters, and sell directly at a profit. I made detailed plans for distribution locations and price strategies in various parts of Jiangning Province.

This solution not only does not cost money, but also allows users to directly feel and experience it.

The third option is nothing special, it is actually a combination of the above two options.

Unexpectedly, they finally chose the third plan as one of the three winning plans."

…

On the day Liu Yan returned from Weilong Company with great honor, both Fan Lili and Zhou Haiyang rushed home as early as possible after get off work.

As soon as they entered the house, both of them were shocked!

Fifty hundred-dollar bills were displayed on the table. Liu Yan stood aside, pointed to the telephone covered with a handkerchief and said: "The investment in the installation fee has been fully recovered."

When Fan Lili saw this, she clapped her hands happily and exclaimed: "Money is secondary, the key is that you succeeded this time, it's amazing! Out of so many plans, you were chosen, it's amazing."

At this moment, Zhou Haiyang stared at the banknotes on the table and smacked his tongue: "With one plan, I can get back 5,000 yuan. With this move, you will be equal to my salary for five years, you damn thing

It’s too easy to make money.”

Liu Yan chuckled, his face full of calmness, and said nothing.

Then, Fan Lili asked about her experiences at Weilong Company.

Liu Yan said lightly: "Their company is really shabby, it's actually a warehouse at the foot of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

Haiyang, your Huayu company won't be that shabby, right?

There were three winners in total, and I was the first.

To be honest, I really don’t think those two people’s plan is any good.

The boss of Weilong, whose surname is Ye, is a woman in her forties. She chatted with me for a few words and she turned out to be an alumnus of our Ningcheng University.

She is a worker, peasant and soldier student of the 75th grade, and she was once an educated youth who went to the mountains and countryside.

Asked what I do for a living, I said I have no job at the moment and stay at home.

She said that their company was going to set up a marketing department and asked me if I would like to be the manager."

"How great. The female boss wants you by name and thinks so highly of you. Aren't you tempted?" Fan Lili said, shaking Liu Yan's shoulders.

Zhou Haiyang said with a smile: "I guess he looks down on me because he thinks his company is too shabby."

Liu Yan continued: "It's not because of this. There were several people from their company present at that time. They seemed to be secretaries, assistants and sales people. They were all about her age. It is said that they were all educated youths in Ningcheng.

For those who have become fathers and mothers at this age, all of them are being criticized by Mr. Ye.

I thought at that time, I would definitely not do it if I changed my job. This is not like being a grandson. I might as well stay at home and feel comfortable."

When Fan Li heard this, she couldn't hide her disappointment and said: "Oh, who is not a grandson? It's the same everywhere. What do you think? If you don't believe it, just ask Haiyang, like us who have just entered society, don't all of us have to start from the bottom?

I used to work at PC-Brand, sending and receiving faxes and pouring coffee every day.

When the ocean started, we wiped the tables and turned on the water and mopped the floors every day."

"I still turn on the water every day." Zhou Haiyang said with a naive smile.

"Oh, by the way, have you ever heard of a man named Qiu Yue?" Fan Lili said excitedly: "It is said that he comes up with ideas and advice for people everywhere, and makes a lot of money by using his brains and talking. I think Liu Yan

Your brain is definitely better than his, why don't you also try this path?"

Liu Yan curled his lips: "I know there is such a person, but I have no interest in serving as a consultant or advisor to others.

No matter how brilliant my idea is, whether you listen to it, do it or not, and how you do it are all other people's business. It's useless for me to rush it. I won't do this kind of work."

Then, he said to Fan Lili: "Don't you understand me yet? I am born to make decisions, not to come up with ideas."
