Dianchuang Culture is a company that can be called big or small. It had nearly 300 employees at its peak, which was the first two years that Chen Feng joined.
Later, due to market changes and the increase in competitors, the number of employees quickly began to decrease. By the time Chen Feng left, there were only more than 120 people, which was more than half the number in its heyday.
The person in front of me and Chen Feng were colleagues who worked part-time at Dianchuang Culture. One was in the planning department and the other was in the sales department. We didn’t have much contact with each other on a daily basis, so we only met when there might be intersections at work. We had some contact with Chen Feng.
I can't even remember his name.
After all, this person was an ordinary low-level salesman at the time, and he was most likely fired by Dianchuang Culture later. Chen Feng had not seen him for several years.
In the past few years, both of them have gained weight, and their appearance and temperament have also changed a lot. It is normal for the two of them not to recognize each other at first.
Chen Feng can still recognize him now, so he has a good memory.
"Yes, you were in the sales department, right?" Chen Feng replied with a smile.
"Yes, I am Zheng Rongxuan from the sales department. I worked for Dianchuang Culture for two years, and several orders were completed in cooperation with you. I remember that you helped me win one of the big orders. That year
I wanted to treat you to dinner to thank you, but you didn’t agree. It’s been four years now.”
Chen Feng really didn't remember that he helped him win a big deal. It must have been just a casual help at work, nothing much, after all, it was all for the benefit of the company.
Moreover, four years ago, when he was prospering in Dianchuang Culture, he was already the team leader of the planning department.
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it." Chen Feng told the truth.
Zheng Rongxuan said with some sigh: "That big deal back then made me earn more than 3,000 yuan at once. It was the most I have ever made in my life. That record has not been broken yet."
A salesperson's commission for an order is more than 2,000, which is indeed considered a big deal, because the commission rate for new customers discovered by Dianchuang Culture's bottom salesperson is only 1% of the sales, and the commission rate for old customers is only 0.5%.
Calculating the ratio, the total price of this order at that time was at least 300,000 yuan.
For the salesperson at the bottom, the order with this total price is definitely a big order.
As for those really big orders that can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, it is impossible for a salesperson at the bottom to get them. Unless you are a close customer of the other party, it is impossible for the other party to hand over such a big order to a small salesperson like you.
, but directly contact the leadership of the planning company to discuss and compare products.
Logically speaking, Chen Feng helped him win the order, so the other party should have invited him to dinner as a thank you, but Chen Feng politely refused.
Chen Feng couldn't help but smile, and was impressed by his magnanimity back then. Maybe he was in high spirits back then, working hard and fighting for the company and his boss.
"A commission of more than 3,000 yuan per order is indeed a big deal. Of course, the main thing is your luck."
Chen Feng didn't mean to take any credit for himself. He didn't have much impression of this matter, and he probably didn't contribute much in it at first.
Zheng Rongxuan recalled with some joy: "Yeah, I was really lucky. When I went to that company to solicit orders, I happened to pick up a wallet on the road, and that wallet happened to belong to a deputy manager of that company. I was lucky enough to pick up money.
, waiting there, finally waited until the deputy manager came back to get his wallet, and then I got on the line. It was with his help that I had the opportunity to sign that big order. Later, there were several peer companies competing, and this order was in sight.
I was a little confused, but fortunately, you, the planning master, helped me revise the draft several times and came up with a perfect planning plan, and finally conquered the boss of the company."
When Chen Feng heard that it was like this, it was no wonder. As a team leader in the planning department at the time, he cooperated with the sales staff in the company to meet customer needs and provided a satisfactory planning plan. This was within the scope of his responsibilities.
There's really no need to take credit. No wonder he didn't think of it.
In Chen Feng's view, he just did what he should do, and there was no need for the other party to spend money to treat him to a meal.
Chen Feng is not a person who is greedy for petty gains.
That's probably what he thought at the time, and it's the same now.
"You can be considered a good person and you will be rewarded." Chen Feng commented.
Zheng Rongxuan laughed at himself: "Good people may be rewarded, but bad people are definitely not comfortable. I worked hard at Dianchuang for more than two years, and the overall performance was pretty good, and I also made money for the company.
A lot of money.
As a result, I was fired just because I didn’t meet the company’s performance targets for a month. Who can I talk to for explanation?”
Compared with the planning department, the elimination rate of bottom-level salespeople in the company's sales department is too high. Basically, after half a year, most of them will be replaced by new faces.
Chen Feng could understand his sadness when he was fired from Youyu, because he had a sad work experience in Dianchuang before.
Chen Feng gave some comfort and said: "It's a good thing you left early. I couldn't leave even if I wanted to because of the constraints of the contract."
"Oh, what happened to the company later?"
Zheng Rongxuan asked curiously.
At this time, the car could finally move. He immediately started the car, but soon had to stop it.
After the car stopped, Chen Feng said: "Later, the company became very chaotic and suffered losses year after year. The leaders took the lead in exploiting the inside and outside and lining their own pockets, causing the company to suffer losses year after year. In the end, the boss directly sold the company."
"Damn it! I knew that none of the leaders of the company at the time were good. As for the boss, I have been there for more than two years and have not seen him a few times. He has never participated in company management. He should be an inexperienced person.
It’s normal for those executives to cheat.”
Chen Fengxin said: Are you talking about me?
As the boss of Fengmang Film and Television, Chen Feng is quite similar to the original boss of Dianchuang Culture. They are both hands-off bosses and do not participate in the management of the company, leaving everything to professional managers. Moreover, he is not interested in film and television production.
Of course I don’t understand much either.
Of course, the difference is quite obvious.
First of all, in the selection of professional managers, Cao Kun, the original general manager of Dianchuang Culture, obviously betrayed the trust of his boss. This also shows that the original boss of Dianchuang Culture had poor vision and trusted others.
The Lu Sijia chosen by Chen Feng is much more reliable than Cao Kun. Of course, in order to prevent Fengmang Film and Television from taking the old path of creating culture, Chen Feng asked Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaoxin to join the company's leadership, forming a certain check and balance on Lu Sijia, a professional manager.
, supervision has basically eliminated the corruption of senior executives that occurred in Dianchuang Culture.
"Are you still working at Dianchuang Culture?"
The car started again and drove for a while, then stopped again. After Zheng Rongxuan cursed lowly, he asked casually.
"I didn't do it there." After Chen Feng replied, he asked, "What about you? You don't drive a full-time online ride-hailing service, do you?"
Zheng Rongxuan smiled bitterly and said: "It's considered a semi-full-time job. From noon to 7 or 8 pm, I go out for takeout in the evening."
"So hard work?" Chen Feng asked in surprise, "You can't run all night to take out food, right?"
Zheng Rongxuan nodded and said: "Of course you stay up all night, otherwise how can you make money? You have to pay off your car loan and house loan every month, and you have a wife and children to support at home, so you need money."
Chen Feng said sincerely: "You really work hard enough."
No wonder this guy has two big dark circles under his eyes, probably because he stays up late every day.
"It won't work if we don't work hard. If we grassroots immigrants want to gain a foothold in this city, we have to work hard like this." Zheng Rongxuan shook his head.
"How old is your child? There is only one, right?" Chen Feng asked.
Zheng Rongxuan smiled bitterly again, and then said with some pride: "Two, twins. They are both over two years old. They will go to kindergarten next year, which is a big expense."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "No wonder you worked so hard, and you are actually a twin. Now you have a son and a daughter. Congratulations."
Zheng Rongxuan couldn't help laughing proudly after hearing this: "When we first said they were twins, I was worried. If it was a pair of daughters, it would be fine, but if it was a pair of sons, then I would be really worried to death. Fortunately, after they were born,
Having a son and a daughter saves trouble and there is no need to hesitate about having a second child in the future."
Chen Feng couldn't help but smile and said: "It really saves a lot of trouble."
"What about you? You must be married too, right? I remember that your girlfriend at the time was quite beautiful. She must be her, right? Do you have children?"
It’s really a heartbreaking question.
However, Chen Feng certainly wouldn't argue with him. He smiled and said, "I married her, but we divorced last year and have no children."
After Zheng Rongxuan was stunned for a moment, he changed the subject a little awkwardly and asked: "What do you do now?"
"Let's trade in stocks." Chen Feng didn't want to show off in front of his old colleagues and said he started a company. Of course, he didn't lie. He did trade in stocks and made a lot of money.
"Stock trading, not bad." Zheng Rongxuan originally wanted to ask Chen Feng whether stock trading is very profitable, but seeing that he doesn't even own a car and is divorced, even if he takes two beauties and takes a taxi together, he must not make much money.
I didn’t ask.
The car finally slowly drove out of the traffic jam and began to drive smoothly.
While waiting for the light to turn green, Zheng Rongxuan looked at the two beautiful women in the back seat of the car through the rearview mirror. Jin Xinyan was very young, in her early twenties, and could not be Chen Feng's girlfriend. As for Sun Xiaoxin, she was also dressed fashionably.
The one she was holding was the latest fruit machine. She looked to be in her mid-twenties, so she couldn't possibly be Chen Feng's girlfriend, right? With her conditions, she could definitely find a rich man.
But he hadn't confirmed it yet. He couldn't help but be curious, so he asked Chen Feng: "Are the two beauties behind you your friends or relatives?"
Before Chen Feng could say anything, Jin Xinyan in the back seat smiled and said, "I'm his girlfriend."
When Zheng Rongxuan was dumbfounded, Chen Feng turned to glare at Jin Xinyan and denied, "She is just a friend of mine."
When Zheng Rongxuan heard this, he thought this was right. He smiled and said, "Beauty, you really know how to joke. I almost took it seriously."
Jin Xinyan pursed her lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "I was originally his girlfriend, but he didn't want to admit it."
When Zheng Rongxuan saw that she was not joking, he immediately didn't know what to say. He glanced at Chen Feng and saw that he just frowned and didn't refute. He thought she might be his girlfriend. For a moment, Zheng Rongxuan
Not to mention how complicated it is.
Looking at Chen Feng's appearance, although he is a little fatter than he was a few years ago, his appearance and temperament are beyond words. He completely looks like a successful person.
I can only sigh in my heart: Handsome men are popular!
I also lamented that today’s young girls pay too much attention to men’s appearance, and they may be too deceptive.
I think he originally wanted to pursue his current wife, but after six years of long-distance running, he has always been her partner's backup. It was not until she was thirty-one years old and experienced the blow of three failed relationships that she accepted the reality and let him
This spare tire has been turned correctly.
In order to marry her, three generations of his family contributed money and effort together, and borrowed a lot of foreign debts. Then he bought a house of more than 80 square meters in the city of Xiuzhou with a down payment, and also bought a car with a mortgage of more than 200,000 yuan.
's car.
Otherwise, this marriage would not have been possible in the first place.
Fortunately, after successfully getting married, although the car loan and housing loan sometimes weighed him down, he was generally happy, with a pretty wife and two lovely children.
After all, he is better than the divorced Chen Feng, right?
But Chen Feng’s ex-wife, whom he had met back then, was really beautiful, much prettier than his wife, so he still remembers it clearly. The two people in the car now are also very beautiful, especially the little girl who just spoke.
, she is even more young and beautiful, like a female star.
He was still somewhat unbalanced in his heart. He had worked hard and paid a huge price to marry a cheap woman, but Chen Feng, not to mention his beautiful ex-wife, now had such a young and beautiful "girlfriend".
Just because he looks better than me?
The light turned green and the car restarted. After crossing the intersection, Zheng Rongxuan, who was a little shocked, couldn't help but speak again: "Chen Feng, you were the backbone of the planning department at Dianchuang Culture, and your work ability is first-class. With your
With enough strength, you should also buy a house, right? I gritted my teeth and bought a small apartment three years ago. I was lucky when I bought it. It only cost 38,000 yuan, just over there in Binjiang New District. Now it has risen to 45,000 yuan.
.”
Chen Feng said perfunctorily: "Then you are lucky."
"Haha, I had no choice at the time. My husband had to have a house in Xiuzhou before he would marry me, so he had to grit his teeth and take out a loan to buy it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to work so hard now. What about you? Have you bought the house?"
We are all adults, so of course we can hear the showoff and comparison in his words.
"Of course he bought it too." Jin Xinyan, who was in the back seat again, answered, "This time, there is a house he bought at the destination where we took a taxi."
"Where is the destination?" Zheng Rongxuan asked with some confusion, "That's on the edge of East Lake. They seem to be all old houses and small villas, and the prices are ridiculously high."
When he said this, he obviously didn't believe that Chen Feng could buy a house there.
Jin Xinyan smiled and said: "It seems that you are quite familiar with the area there. In fact, the houses there are not very expensive. After all, the area is relatively small, not very big. A villa only costs 10 to 20 million."
Zheng Rongxuan didn't know how to answer the call. A small villa worth ten to twenty million seemed not expensive, but he would definitely not be able to afford it if he didn't eat or drink in his life.
Of course he didn't believe that Chen Feng could afford a house worth ten or twenty million yuan. After all, four years ago, he was just a part-time worker like him, earning a monthly salary of several thousand yuan.
"Brother, do you really have a house over there?" Zheng Rongxuan asked Chen Feng.
Although Chen Feng didn't want to show off in front of him, since he asked, he couldn't lie, so he told the truth: "There is a trick over there."
Zheng Rongxuan was speechless. He wanted to ask Chen Feng if he was lying, but it seemed that the other party didn't have the need to do so. Besides, the Chen Feng he knew seemed to be a decent person, and he didn't even ask for help when he won the big deal.
He wants benefits.
Fortunately, the destination was not far away. He wanted to see if they were lying.
Two or three minutes later, the car stopped in front of the gate of the East Lake villa that Chen Feng bought.
The two women got off the bus first, and before Chen Feng got off, Zheng Rongxuan specifically added his WeChat account.
After all, they had been colleagues for more than two years, and they were in person, so Chen Feng added him, but he would definitely be blocked in his circle of friends, and he would definitely not be contacted.
After the two women got off the car, they naturally opened the door of the villa and walked in.
Zheng Rongxuan saw this scene with his own eyes, how could it be fake?
Chen Feng waved to him politely and walked into the villa door, then quickly closed it without any intention of inviting him in to sit down.
The two of them were only half-colleagues and had little contact, and it was only a few years ago. How could Chen Feng regard him as a friend?
Zheng Rongxuan sat in the car and stared blankly at the gate of the yard for a while, then let out a long sigh. This was really irritating.
There was still some jealousy in his heart before, but of course it was gone now. What was left was only low self-esteem and helplessness about his miserable life.
A few years ago, he and Chen Feng were colleagues of the same class, but they are definitely not now.
