[Episode 1]

[Hangzhou]

Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for attending the contract signing ceremony today.

Next, we welcome Xuntong Communications Group's President Shang Tong Qian

- to come up to speak.
- President Shang, please.

Hello, everyone!

Today, we are very honored to hold the signing ceremony with the Jieke Company.

[Boss]
[Dialing]
I'm sure in the very near future

the Xuntong Communications Group

and the Jieke Company will reach our common goal together.

I'm going to find President Zhou.

You keep an eye on things here. If it doesn't work, let the Master of Ceremonies control the scene.

How can I keep an eye on things?

Cut the crap! You have to keep an eye on it.

Today, we've also invited many friendly folks from several media platforms.

We hope that everyone...

Boss.

I discovered that the contract had been changed by Wang Yi Nan.

- Did you know about it?
- Wang Yi Nan said he would explain it to you.

Where is Wang Yi Nan?

- He's rushing over here right now.
- ...be able to prroceed smoothly.

You go to the signing ceremony first and keep the situation stable.

Okay.

Over-commitment is an industry-taboo.

Let us applaud and welcome the Jieke Company's Director of Sales in East China, Zhou Rui.

Boss, we originally promised them an upgrade for free within a year.

Now, it's changed to three quarters, so the customer changed only one sentence.

Don't you think that one sentence can kill?

Hasn't our R&D Department already started the internal testing?
(TN: R&D = Research and Development)

What if the R&D Department doesn't get through the internal testing?

Then the company will be at risk of breaching the contract.

Are you in that much of a rush to get your commission?

Of course, I'm in a rush.

Who knows if this company will still exist after today?

The bank also won't give us the loan.

There's outside talk now that Jieke's has funding problems.

Boss, this is a contract of several tens of million yuan.

Wang Yi Nan, you won't be able to get your commission.

For this contract, I almost became a nanny for President Shang.

Who else do we have in East China who can get the client to hold such a big signing ceremony?

I—

Boss, doesn't Chen Ming Kai need this contract even more?

I'll sign the contract.

I'll also bear the trouble afterward. But,

you either get fired by the company,

or you resign.

Choose one!

I...

Follow the rules! Follow the rules!

- Wang Yi Nan, stop hitting him! Wang Yi Nan!
- What rules are there to follow in sales?

Stop hitting him!

Stop hitting!

Wang Yi Nan!

- Don't hit anymore!
- Go away!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

thank you for attending the contract signing ceremony today.

Let us welcome Jieke Internet Technology Company's
- Sorry! Excuse us!

- Director of Sales in the East China Region,
- Excuse us!

Zhou Rui.

- President Shang.
- Something happened?

Director Zhou, what kind of role-playing are you doing today?

I have to tell you something important beforehand.

- Sign the contract first! We can talk later.
- It's really important.

The contract signing is just a ceremony, isn't it?

We can't achieve a free upgrade in three quarters.

Don't disappoint me on this occasion today, Director Zhou.

You've already agreed to that clause.

It's just a ceremony, a trivial matter!

The ceremony will officially start.

[Director Wei Tian Ming]

The company's sales have been terribly sliding downward for two consecutive years.

As the CEO,

shouldn't you give a reasonable explanation to the Board of Directors?

It's true that the sales performance hasn't been good.

But how did we endure for the last two years?

We all know how.

- There's nothing left for me to say.
- You must say it.

If you don't explain the root cause of the problem,

how can the problem be solved?

I have no money in the budget and no soldiers under my control, so how can I solve it?

That! I don't understand then.

Wei Yan in North China and Zhou Rui in East China, aren't they the disciples that you groomed?

Aren't you the one who makes the decision on people and matters?

Chairman Li,

do you think the Jieke Company can survive by relying on only the sales department?

My technical personnel has been cut down by you all so much

that they practically don't exist anymore.

You've probably planned this for a long time, haven't you?

Enough, enough! Let's not go off on a tangent, okay?

All right.

You're the ones who forced me to dig up the flesh to fill a sore.
(TN: Idiom - Use harmful methods to fix current emergencies.)

For the time being, I'll transfer Zhou Rui back here immediately.

About President Chen, has his plane landed yet?

Boss, do you have to see him?

With the way you look now?

Go to tell Xuntong's President Shang first

that the collaboration with them still has a long way to go.

This project won't be the last.

Even if we don't make money in the future, we'll still provide the best service.

Got it!

Your suit has blood on it; I'll take it to clean.

President Chen has arrived and is in the office.

[Sender: 1019451143@qq.com]

[Zhou Rui is transferred from Jieke's East China Region (Hangzhou) to the North China Region (Beijing) today.]

Jieke's Zhou Rui is being transferred to Beijing.

Look it up for me to see if it's true.

[Jieke Zhou Rui]

[Zhou Rui's Biography: Internet Technology Expert...]

["Computer" The Magazine Interviewed Zhou Rui, To Learn About Information Technology!]

[International Hacker Cup 2008]

[Zhou Rui graduated from Beijing University, majoring in Information Management. He then headed to the State University of New York at Buffalo, USA to complete a master’s degree in computer science...]

I did my nails for nothing.

[Hangzhou]
[Jieke's East China Regional Office]

Master.

Here!

Starting from tomorrow, you'll be transferred to Beijing.

Then where do you plan on putting Wei Yan from the North China Region?

The company is at a deficit if our profits won't increase.

I must centralize our work forces.

They aren't paying us but moving us over there.

Is the Board of Directors planning on getting rid of the East China Region?

You're asking me, whom do I ask?

Anyway, the Board of Directors is giving me two options.

The first option is to increase our profits in nine months,

which is also three quarters.

The other option is to sell the company.

We can't sell the company.

If I wanted to die,

do you think it's better for me to hang myself in the Beijing office

or for me to jump from here?

I have only one request that is I'm bringing my people from the East China Region.

The East China Region and North China Region are two separate entities of Jieke.

I want to work with my people.

Then make the team in the North China Region your people.

I'm leaving tonight.

All right, I'll go let them know.

Is President Chen not going to the hotel today?

President Chen just told me to take over the duties

- in the North China Region.
- Then what's going to happen to us in the East China Region?

You're still here, so you can take care of it.

Mr. Chen is your mentor, but he still shouldn't be throwing you to the mess in the North China Region.

As mentor and mentee, we'll be in this together.

I can't let him jump to his death, can I?

May I please have the attention of those who are picking up passengers.

Flight 1247 is arriving at 8:14.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please?

[Beijing Jia An Building]

Is there anyone here? Is someone here?

Did you turn off the water?

I'm brushing my teeth.

[Company Water Shut Off Notice]
(Briefly: Due to emergency repair, there will be no water until about 12 pm)

One minute! I just need one minute to finish brushing my teeth.

Today's Monday and we have a lot of customers and employees coming in.

I'm already fifteen minutes late. I'm sorry!

Thank you.

Hello?

Boss! We love you, Boss!

See what I said?

What did I tell you? Our boss was definitely going to go.

Who lost the bet? Give me your ¥100.

Quickly give me your money.

Boss, let us see what the Beijing headquarters looks like.

That's right! Show us.

Look! It's so luxurious.

What nice headquarters we have!

Look at that!

Nice to meet you, Director Zhou! I'm Xie Yi.

The North China Regional Sales Department welcomes you.

Is he... Zhou Rui?

Zhou Rui from the south and Luo Jia from the north are legends.

However, seeing him in person today, Sister, he looks better in person.

Two tigers can't coexist on the same mountain; a bloody scene is about to unfold.

It went up!

Master.

Did I upset you by not greeting you earlier?

You have to keep your distance from people you're familiar with in the workplace, I understand.

The sales department on the right side of the reception,

did you notice anything?

Be honest!

My honest opinion? Okay.

The sales team should be with their clients.

What use is it for them sticking to their cubicles every day?

Their desks are filled with skincare products, makeup,

snacks, soup pots, and pillows of male celebrities.

This... This isn't... This isn't a summer camp, is it?

As I walked in,

I heard someone speculating on the stock market while on the job.

- They would be fired immediately if this were the East China Region.
- You're in the North China Region now.

Then Master,

how much authority do I have here?

What authority?

The authority to make a change.

Don't think about that just yet!

Take a look at this.

They're our biggest competitor for the O&T project.

Huikang Company.

The sales department can go first.
[Beijing] - [Huikang Technology]

O&T came into the logistics industry in 2015.

They have big, medium, and small packages,

supply chain technologies, B2B, and have business across five logistic networks,

including everything from product sales forecasting,

warehousing and delivery, and transportation and distribution.

They have 360 super warehouses across the country.

Their purpose for upgrading their products is to speed up their logistics

to shorten their delivery time from 24 hours to 12 hours.

It's predicted that their annual revenue will increase by eighty billion.

It seems that they have high standards for their performance.

Pre-sales team, what's your proposal?

They were using foreign systems before.

However, due to the slowness in technology upgrading and troubleshooting,

they're now thinking of working with Huikang.

Director Luo, take a look.

Director Luo, our technology department is still testing a new system.

If it's able to pass the stability test, it should be able to satisfy the performance standards of the client.

I believe what the client is focused on is one thing, speed.

From the time the order is placed to the time the client receives the information,

to the tracking of the logistics information

and finally to when the customer receives the product.

Speed is the most important problem that O&T needs to solve.

Master,
[O&T Server Procurement Project Plan]

from what I know, Director Wei has been in charge of the O&T project.

The people working on this project are also part of his team.

I... can't take this on.

I really can't.

You have no choice but to take it on.

- Did you write the technology proposal?
- Yes.

Tell me how we can have the fastest running speed

amongst all of our competing companies.

It isn't difficult to increase the running speed, but the faster it is, the less secure it is.

We're looking for both security and speed.

- That's what I expect from the technology department.
- Yes. Yes.

We just need to satisfy the client's needs.

Here's the latest news.

Jieke's Zhou Rui is now taking on this project.

- Zhou Rui?
- Who?

- Is it the Zhou Rui of the south?
- I don't know.

Fired an employee of mine that's been with me for four years.

He was also the salesperson who completed this project.

Master, I don't have superhuman powers.

I can't just throw myself into this as there's hardly any room for me to do anything.

You're talking to me about having no room?

What do I need you for then?

Defeating Huikang is our only way out.

This conversation is over! You can switch out Wei Yan's team if you don't think they can do this task well.

You can get rid of anyone who's wasting the company's resources.

Master,

I thought you transferred me here from the East China Region to expand our market.

I'm not here to steal anyone's project or fire people.

If the O&T project was so important,

- you shouldn't have let Wei Yan take leave.
- Zhou Rui,

I know better than you what I should and shouldn't do.

We must win the O&T project.

If we win, Jieke will only be able to catch a breath.

If we lose,

the entire company and its thousands of employees go down together.

- Take a look at this!
- Okay.

I'll do this project myself.

You all can continue.

Director Luo.

Engineer Liu, people like you with a technology background,

is there a weakness?

Alright, it's nothing! I was just asking randomly.

Come in!

Hello, Director Zhou! This is your badge.

Thanks.

Let me report to you.

I'm Fan Wei from the Administration Department. Fan as in Direction, and Wei as in Dignified.

Not the Wei in Wei Yan.

Then, let me give you a general introduction of the people here.

That one is Xiao Yun. She's pretty reliable on the job.

I bought all of it because of your intel.

This... Do you want to kill me?

That one wearing glasses is Ye Chao Dong.

Whoever sent you the Intel was scamming you of your money.

He's Director Wei's right-hand man.

Sister Yun, how much did you buy?

Two thousand?

- That young one is called Xie Yi.
- Twenty thousand.

She doesn't look dependable, but she's quite clever.

You've gotten too much money on your hands, haven't you?

If I want to fire people,

whom do you think I should fire first?

Fire people...?

That's impossible, isn't it?

T-they are all pillars of the company.

Sister,

look at these two pairs of shoes!

You were looking for them earlier.

As soon as the merchandise arrived, I put them away for you.

I rushed to call you right away.

Try them on.

Xiao Le, Xiao Le.

You're so thoughtful and clever.

Don't do too much sweet talk!

When it's too sweet, it sounds fake.

Pretty good! Wrap them up for me.

Sister, that man at the door seems to have been staring at you for a while.

Is he someone you know?

He does look familiar.

I sent you an email, have you seen it?

Is it you who sent that?

What's the matter?

You absolutely must not underestimate Zhou Rui.

Do you think I can't get the O&T project?

Without Zhou Rui, you'd definitely get it.

With him, you might not necessarily get it.

Continue talking! How exactly will it be with him or without him?

I don't want to talk about it right now.

Do you really think I have a lot of idle time to chat with you here?

Unless you ask me to enter Huikang someday—

If you really think I can only defeat Zhou Rui based solely on your analysis,

then there won't be any day for you to get into Huikang.

This guy, Zhou Rui...

How should I phrase it?

I beat him up because he fired me.

If Zhou Rui has to follow principles, then he wouldn't sign the contract.

But once he has signed it, he shouldn't fire me.

President Shang is a client that I was with for many years.

So was it signed in the end?

Yes, it was signed.

[Zhou Rui]

He had to sign even if he didn't want to.

His mentor, Chen Ming Kai, is probably relying on this project to survive.

Congratulations!

Director Zhou, you can't leave just like this.

I'm sure everyone here wants to hear your stunning speech.

Isn't that right?

Then I'll say a few words.

Today is a good day.

I should say some good words or lucky words while I'm here.

[Xuntong Communications Group] - [Jieke Company]
[Strategic Cooperation Signing Ceremony]

However...

However, at the moment of the signing,

in a flash, I asked myself.

What are salespeople?

What are salespeople?

Are they really what you all say?

Are they just a bunch of animals without self-respect?

Are they a bunch of people who harbor suspicion, infight, lose sleep, lose hair,

can't drink, but have to drink to get a contract?

Are they those who think they're getting rich when they're young but are actually dying at a young age?

Or they really are.

I remember what my mentor told me, "It's difficult to be a person, it's also difficult to do your job."

I actually didn't like listening to that.

But at that instant,

I suddenly realized that

it's difficult to be a salesperson.

It's even more difficult to be a good salesperson.

It's like a problem in the Math Olympiad.

How can you achieve good sales performance,

but also hold on to your bottom line?

♫ The freckles on my face are bright and dark ♫

Maybe on the day that problem is solved, to our colleagues,

is when we'll have better days.

I've said too much. Sorry!

President Shang.

♫ Those words were spoken halfway ♫

♫ When those few words reached the tip of the tongue ♫

Everyone, come here for a moment. Come here!

- Who did this project proposal?
- Ye Chao Dong led us to do it.

- It was accepted before the sale.
- It was done based on Director Wei's recommendation.

Who's our competitor?

Huikang, is it?

Such an obsolete proposal! What are you using to compete with?

- That's settled from the Marketing Department—
- Processing ten thousand orders in an hour.

Right away, you can see it's Huikang's standard.

The client has already established a standard based on Huikang's capabilities.

What about us? What do we use to impress the client?

- There are many standards to impress the client—
- Previously, has anyone gotten involved with this project?

- No.
- No.

Have you visited O&T's Du Heng?

Do we know the client's pain points?

Director Wei and Brother Dong are responsible for following up with that.

- We don't really know much.
- That's right!

You don't know much.

What are you talking about then?

Director Zhou, when Director Wei was in charge of us,

we weren't allowed to visit the clients.

Even if we wanted to, we couldn't make contact.

- In the end, when the deal was closed, he would even share with us—
- Share some money?

A proposal that looks like this, we can't use it to win at all.

Where would the money come from? Where would the money come from?

Brother Dong, where are you?

You don't understand the client's needs,

but you still want to share in the money. You're in sales!

Let's stop for now!

I'll tell you all after I've thought this through.

Brothers, Director Wei has said,

even if you work overtime tonight, you must finish the O&T proposal.

- Hurry up!
- Brother Dong, Director Zhou said to stop for now.

- Kai Yang, quick!
- Okay.

Hi Director Zhou! I'm Ye Chao Dong.

This project cannot stop.

It's okay if you don't want to stop. Draw a new proposal!

There's no time to redo it.

If you were in East China, I would fire you.

Do you know that?

However, it's North China here.

Firing has to be done by Director Wei.

[Beijing]
[O&T Group]

Hello!

[O&T Group]
[Oriental & Technology]

I'm Zhou Rui from Jieke.

I don't have an appointment but would like to meet President Du.

- Is that alright?
- Sorry!

Our President Du is fully booked today.

Turn around and look! All those people are here to see President Du.

Let's do this!

This is my business card.

Please hand it to President Du.

Let him decide whether he'll see me or not, okay?

Huikang's person came out already.

That Director Luo cut in line.

- Please wait a little while.
- It's been several hours.

- What time is it already?
- It should be our turn now, shouldn't it?

Everyone, don't be anxious! We'll arrange it.

- Everyone, please wait for a little while.
- How much longer do we have to wait?

Return the business card to me.

I know you didn't give it to President Du.

Sorry...

Thanks!

- Here's—
- Stop, stop!

Stop for a bit! Stop for a bit!

For today's matter, everyone participated. Right?

- We did.
- We did.

From now on, no matter who comes,

this is Director Wei's project.

We all clearly know it.

Is this really necessary?

It's necessary. Of course, it's necessary.

Midnight snack's are here! They're here.

Today's midnight snack are tea eggs and bread. Here!

What the heck? I'm not eating this.

The budget is limited. The budget is limited.

Just make do. Okay?

[Jieke Company]

Let's just work! Give the food to the new boss and let him have it.

Enter.

Director Zhou.

I thought you already went back.

You rearranged my office.

How did you know my office in Hangzhou was like this?

This isn't hard.

I told my coworker in Hangzhou to send me a picture of your office.

Take a look!

Also this book...

It felt like you didn't finish reading, so I went online to buy it.

It was just delivered.

- How did you know that I didn't finish reading it?
- I guessed.

Few people manage to finish readying a book these days.

It's been hard for you.

You were thoughtful and diligent.

No...

Your department really doesn't have it easy.

To have to work overtime this late.

They're doing useless work.

And you, go and get some reasonable midnight snacks for them.

Send me the invoice.

By the way, tell them to get off work after they've eaten.

Sure.

Then... Then I'm leaving now.

Don't just turn off the light.

There's still someone here.

I've said it! When two strong people meet, there must be a fight.

Brother Dong, isn't it too much that we turned off the lights?

- No—
- You're leaving, Sister Yun? We're leaving now.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

It's fine!

Turning off the lights when we leave is the company's rule.

- Hurry up and go. Be quick!
- Bye-bye.

- I'm leaving then. See you tomorrow! Bye bye.
- Bye bye.

If you were in East China, I would've fire you; do you know that?

However, we're in North China right now.

Director Luo, the win loss data has come out.

Our Huikang has more wins.

A lot of our wins are in the pricing and product iteration indicators.

Tell me something that I don't know!

- The key is to figure out where we lost.
- Okay.

Look, Director Luo!

I've listed the data here.

Where we lost was all in the technology indicators.

Moreover, Jieke's funding was relying on its leading technology a few years ago.

Let me ask you something.

Why do they lead in technology?

It's because they have Zhou Rui.

[Huikang Sales Representative]
[Luo Jia] - [Regional Director of Sales]

♫ The sun is only shining halfway ♫

♫ The freckles on my face are bright and dark ♫

There's Zhou Rui in the South, and Luo Jia in the North. Got it?

Are you talking about that Luo Jia of Luo Jia Time?

Right! Our company's old competitor, Huikang Company's Luo Jia.

No matter what level the client is, only when Luo Jia arrives,

that's when the meeting starts.

She can buy a plane ticket to Tokyo today,

and appear at a bidding meeting in Hangzhou the next day.
