"Excellent. Our dealership needs this kind of spirit. Although we lost ten million today, a bad thing can turn into a good one. In the next few days, people will be constantly coming to look at cars and inquire about prices. I hope everyone stays alert and gives the customers satisfactory answers." Guo Xuyang continued. "I just took over this dealership today, and I originally just wanted to take a look and pick up a car. I didn't expect something like this to happen. It's not anyone's fault here. However, as the manager of this dealership, I bear an inescapable responsibility. Manager, please step forward."
A slightly overweight middle-aged man stepped out. His face was pale, knowing that the new boss was going to make an example of someone, and he would likely be kicked out.
"What is your name?"
"Li Yang."
"Do you plan on packing your bags and going home, or do you want to continue working here?" Guo Xuyang gave Li Yang a choice.
"I implore the boss to give me a chance to earn a living."
"Alright, since that's the case, you will continue to work in the dealership with the position of salesperson. Do you agree?"
"Thank you, boss!" Li Yang quickly replied in gratitude.
"This lady is Xiao Yun. From now on, she will be the manager of your dealership. All decisions will be made by her." Guo Xuyang introduced Xiao Yun to everyone. "Given everyone's good performance today, starting now, each person will receive an additional two thousand yuan per month on top of their original salary."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone jumped up excitedly.
"Quiet, everyone, quiet down." Guo Xuyang pressed his hand down and continued, "For the monthly sales champion, there will be a reward of fifty thousand yuan each time, along with a paid trip within the province. For the quarterly sales champion, there will be a reward of one hundred thousand yuan each time, along with a paid trip within the country. For the annual sales champion, there will be a reward of one million yuan each time, along with a paid trip internationally. You can decide your travel destinations; just report them to Manager Xiao Yun, and round-trip transportation tickets will be reimbursed. The trip will last fifteen days. I hope everyone treats this dealership as their home. As long as this dealership exists, what I have said will not change."
"Roar... Thank you, boss, long live the boss!" The entire hall erupted, the sound almost shaking the roof off.
After everyone calmed down, Guo Xuyang continued, "Today is the first time I'm meeting everyone. Please get ready, and we'll go for a team-building activity together. Anyone who has something important to do can take leave in advance; I don't believe in dictatorship."
Of course, no one wanted to take leave. It was a good opportunity to get to know the boss better. Thus, over twenty people headed to the Junyue Lai Hotel.
That's right, it was also a hotel under his name.
He requested a large private room.
Today, there were a total of twenty-one people from the 4S dealership present, including sales, after-sales, maintenance, finance, and the manager. Including himself and Xiao Yun, there were twenty-three people in total. This room could comfortably seat thirty people. He took the main seat, with Xiao Yun and the finance manager sitting on either side of him. Li Yang took the vice-principal's seat. Once everyone was seated, he arranged for the waiter to start serving the dishes.
"Waiter, bring us all your signature dishes. Just start with thirty-six dishes. We'll order more if it's not enough. A case of red wine, two cases of beer, and one case of liquor. You can serve them as you see fit; I have no specific requests."
Xiao Yun quickly tugged at his sleeve when she saw him ordering so much alcohol and whispered, "Are you planning on staying here tonight?"
"I'm in a good mood today, it's our first meeting. I can't be so stingy, can I?" he replied.
"Although this is our first meeting today, I am very happy. It is my honor to work with everyone in the future." He raised his wine glass as the dishes arrived and said, "From now on, we are comrades in the same trench; we will prosper together and suffer together. I ask everyone to give Manager Xiao a lot of support in the future. I propose three toasts."
Seeing their boss being so generous, everyone also raised their glasses. Glasses clinked, and the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
After the drinking session, Guo Xuyang gained a thorough understanding of the 4S dealership. The dealership had a total of twenty-six people, including one manager, two finance personnel, two after-sales staff, six maintenance workers, and fifteen salespeople, of whom five were male and ten were female. They dealt with mid-to-high-end models. As the only exclusive dealership for the Bo Ci brand in the provincial capital, business had always been good. Of course, this was also related to the boss's powerful background. The incident that happened today was truly an isolated case. Because the boss was not short of money, he did not allow any other messy affairs.
If it were just an isolated incident, he would have had to re-evaluate Cheng Xiuping as a person. Often, small matters can reveal a person's true character.
With the knot in his heart untied, he completely relaxed.
Well, they all said salespeople could hold their liquor, and it wasn't just talk. He ordered another case of liquor and four cases of beer, which left Xiao Yun and the finance manager dumbfounded. This was a sign of things escalating to the heavens.
Later, Xiao Yun had to step in and stop everyone. "We still have work tomorrow. This is where we stop for today. Drink well, but don't drink too much. We'll continue at the next team-building event."
Guo Xuyang was about to say something else, but after she stomped on his foot, he didn't.
Twenty-three people managed to finish six bottles of red wine, 72 bottles of beer, and 12 bottles of liquor. Among them, six people, including Xiao Yun and the finance manager Xiao Li, did not drink for various reasons. It had to be said that this team had incredible stamina; they were all people tested by alcohol.
Xiao Yun called over a waiter to settle the bill. The total came to 128,000 yuan.
"Nani?" The waiter's statement stunned everyone.
The lively sounds from before disappeared, and the room became extremely quiet. You could hear a pin drop.
Xiao Yun took the bill, glanced at it, and handed it to Guo Xuyang.
The dishes cost seventy-two thousand yuan. Among them, one sashimi dish was twenty thousand, one wild yellow croaker was eighteen thousand, and the rest amounted to thirty-four thousand. The prices were not the issue.
The liquor cost thirty-six thousand, the red wine twelve thousand, and the beer eight thousand. There was a huge markup here.
"Go, go get your manager. I need to ask him something." Guo Xuyang had drunk a bit too much, and his speech was not entirely coherent.
The waiter did not say much and turned to leave.
Guo Xuyang released his senses and clearly perceived, "A bunch of fools, relying on their wealth and acting arrogant, you'll pay for this. I'll get a good commission today, hehe."
The atmosphere was a bit oppressive. Xiao Yun quickly urged everyone, "Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink. The boss is paying today, so eat your fill and don't worry about home. Don't just sit there, eat up. Don't let it go to waste. Come, come."
Although she said that, no one dared to pick up their chopsticks.
If they said eating twenty to thirty thousand yuan was normal in such a hotel, it was also normal for them not to have seen money before; they could earn twenty to thirty thousand yuan in commission from selling a car. However, a meal costing over 120,000 yuan was beyond their comprehension. This was clearly ripping them off. They just didn't know how the boss would handle it.
