Chapter 610 This is the difference between smart people and mortals
Guo Yongren stood up and shook hands with Lewis, "Send hello to Chairman Hughes for me. I will arrive as scheduled. The amount of this order will be transferred soon." What Guo Yongren said directly, Lewis remembered it.
After sending Lewis out, Guo Yongren returned and breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why Guo Yongren wrote such a large list was because he wanted to cooperate with Hughes. It was obvious that this Lewis was Hughes's man.
Although Hughes didn't say anything about the gold plating this time, he couldn't pretend not to know.
He smiled bitterly, but he still couldn't let go of this. With a little show, the order must be more than one billion. Forget it, I didn't think about it anymore. I picked up the invitation and looked at it. I laughed when I saw it. The location turned out to be Beverly in Los Angeles.
The villa is in a week. Well, I really can't leave too early this time in California.
Lewis came out of the hotel, hailed a car and left directly, heading to a manor in the suburbs. It didn't take long. In about an hour, Lewis arrived, got out of the car, got into the manor's car, and went straight to the manor's villa.
The car heard the door of the villa, Lewis got out of the car, and the butler came to greet him, "Sir, when you come back, go directly to the study to find him." The butler said to Lewis with a smile. Judging from their expressions, they were very familiar with each other, and Lewis nodded.
He went directly upstairs to a room on the third floor and knocked on the door. Not long after, a voice came "come in" and Lewis pushed the door open and entered.
In the room, Hughes was sitting on the sofa with a glass of wine. Lewis also let go, with an excited look on his face, "Uncle, it's a big order. This time it's an unprecedented big order." Lewis was quite excited, and he arrived next to him
A glass of red wine.
"Let's talk about the amount," Hughes said very calmly, looking at Lewis who looked excited.
Lewis took out the catalog he had compiled and handed it to Hughes. "A big order of 930 million US dollars," Lewis said seriously. Hughes looked at the order, sighed longly, and put it aside.
"Is Guo very cold to you?" Hughes asked. Lewis was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"Knowing that you sent me there, I'm very enthusiastic." Lewis told the truth, and Hughes nodded, as he expected.
"Lewis, this is your assessment, you failed." Hughes said calmly. Lewis was confused, what is the situation, assessment, and looked at Hughes in confusion.
"This assessment is about your communication skills. From the perspective of this order, you are unqualified." Hughes said very calmly while holding the wine glass. Although this is a big order, this
In it, Guo Yongren gave the answer he wanted. He was a smart man and completely understood what he meant.
Lewis was confused at this time. How could this happen? What did his uncle mean by saying this? "Lewis, who am I?" Hughes asked.
"You are the chairman of General Motors," Lewis said directly, and Hughes nodded.
"I am the chairman, why would I send you there instead of someone else?" Hughes continued, and Lewis thought about it.
"That's because I am your nephew and you are training me." Lewis said directly. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Just say whatever comes to mind. This is the time to learn.
"Yes, I am training you, so I sent you there. The chairman of the umbrella also understands this. The reason why this order is large is what I meant, but this also reflects his respect for you.
"The score is unqualified," Hughes said directly, and Lewis was completely confused.
"I didn't say this rating, but Guo from the umbrella knows what I mean. We don't need to communicate in advance, Guo can understand what I mean. This is a smart person." Hughes said directly, and Lewis listened carefully.
"Why is this order not one billion US dollars, why is it 930 million US dollars? If it exceeds one billion US dollars, you are qualified. If it does not exceed one billion, you are not qualified." Hughes said directly. Lewis was a little confused.
"It's easy to say you are unqualified. That's because you don't have a word to introduce the product. If you can provide meticulous service and introduce some of our new products in detail, then this order will be more than one billion, not what it is now."
930 million, the less 70 million depends on your introduction, but unfortunately, you did not do so," Hughes said directly.
Lewis's face turned very pale. What his uncle said was the same as what he saw at the scene. He really didn't introduce the product. How could this be? He had introduced it to every customer before. How could he forget to introduce it when he got to the umbrella?
"As long as you open your mouth and introduce yourself, you will get the 70 million order. However, you did not do this, so you are not qualified." Hughes said while shaking the wine glass. Guo Yongren understood what he meant, but his nephew
Without understanding, this is the difference between smart people and ordinary people.
Lewis completely understood that he was really unqualified, what had happened to him, how could this happen? He sat there and recalled carefully, Guo, the umbrella man, did not put any pressure on himself and was very friendly.
After giving himself the order, he sat there and looked at himself, obviously waiting for himself to speak, but he didn't say anything. When he handed Guo Yongren the order, what did Guo Yongren's smile mean? Lewis understood. At this time, Lewis
I completely understood that my uncle was right and I was not qualified.
"Uncle, I am indeed unqualified. I just recalled that after Guo gave me the order, he was waiting for me to speak, but I didn't say a word. I just calculated the order and handed it to him. The opportunity was given to me, but,
I let it go," Lewis said seriously.
When you make a mistake, you have to admit it and avoid it next time. Lewis has always done a good job in this regard. Hughes nodded, yes, it is good to be able to realize his mistake. It is not worth running here in person.
What Hughes did was very simple. He was cultivating Lewis. Guo Yongren also understood this. Although Hughes was the chairman of GM, he could have come to meet Guo Yongren to increase their relationship. However, Hughes did not come.
Instead, he sent someone here. The meaning of this is self-evident.
Why would Hughes send Lewis here instead of someone else? Guo Yongren didn't mind helping and gave a big list to establish Lewis' status. However, there was also an evaluation of Lewis in it. The opportunity was given to Lewis, but Lewis
If he didn't catch it, Guo Yongren would have nothing to do.
"You are still the deputy director of the sales department for this adjustment. You will not stay in your position. You still need to practice. Do you understand?" Hughes said while shaking his wine glass. Lewis nodded and agreed with Hughes's opinion. He was still young.
Still needs exercise, Lewis understands this.
"Starting from next month, you must have more than five small orders every month. This is a hard target and must be completed. Large orders of more than 10 million US dollars are not counted." Hughes said directly. Orders at this stage are the most difficult to get.
However, it is also the most difficult test of one's skills. Hughes also came through this way back then, so Lewis must hone his skills.
This is the advantage of having an elderly person at home. They can directly point out your mistakes. If you are not a fool, you can easily correct them. Over time, success will not be a problem at all. It is much better than those who start from scratch.
Guo Yongren rested for a day. The next day, he got on the plane with his people, including the car, and flew directly to Los Angeles. At noon, he arrived in Los Angeles and stayed at the booked hotel.
"Emilia contacted Mr. David and told him that I had arrived in Los Angeles and asked me when I would arrive." Guo Yongren said directly, and Emilia went to get busy.
It didn't take long for Amelia to reply, "Boss, Mr. David will send a car to guide the way tomorrow morning," Amelia said. Guo Yongren nodded and asked Amelia to rest.
A man made a pot of tea, drank it slowly, and thought about the problem in San Francisco. Although Guo Yongren's protective umbrella did not go to San Francisco, there were not no secret hands in San Francisco. A total of two secret hands were arranged. It can be said that San Francisco
Guo Yongren knew the situation very clearly.
David is looking for himself. If nothing else, the problem is San Francisco. Regarding California, David is indeed a little unable to do what he wants. Although it is not a problem yet, San Francisco is a key point. If this problem is not solved, it will be a big problem for David.
The authority has collapsed too much.
David was also thinking about things in the garden at this time. Letting Guo Yongren come to California was a risky move. David knew very well what Guo Yongren was capable of. It was true that when Guo Yongren arrived in San Francisco, the problem was easily solved. However, in the end, the situation in San Francisco was
The power was completely controlled by Guo Yongren.
David is very sure about this. Those people are good, but when it comes to dividing them up, although he says he doesn't care about them, he will never indulge them. California belongs to the Kennedy family, and everyone knows this.
no.
At the same time, David also knew very well that it was fine when he was alive, and Guo Yongren would not have any bad thoughts. If he was gone, the next generation of the family would be very young at present, and they would not be at all.
Guo Yongren’s opponent.
At the same time, he thought of what Guo Yongren told him that California belonged to the Kennedy family. This reassured him that Guo was very smart and knew what he needed. However, David began to feel a little worried about the future. The biggest sorrow of a big family
Nothing is more problematic than the issue of heirs.
The current generation of the Kennedy family has not grown up, or in other words, those who have grown up do not belong to the elite category. Although they are much better than ordinary people, they are still far behind those real elites. David is very good.
Those who know the methods of those people will have the intention of swallowing up the Kennedy family when the time comes.
