Guo Aiguo changed into a new suit and headed to the factory. Meanwhile, Lu Bin hung up the phone after speaking with Guo and set down the receiver.
The phone rang again, and Lu Bin had never been this busy before.
“Hello, Chenxi Clothing Factory.” Before, Guo Aiguo had specifically instructed Lu Bin to answer the phone this way.
“Hello, I’m from XX Province. I just saw your clothing advertisement on TV, and I wanted to ask if the clothes your factory produces are the same as those shown on TV?” Once the caller heard the phone being picked up, he immediately stated his purpose.
“Yes, the clothes in the TV advertisement are indeed made in our factory. Be assured that since we dare to advertise on TV, letting the whole country know, we will not engage in any fraudulent activities.” Lu Bin, being the head of sales, knew how to respond.
“Certainly, our factory address is…” Lu Bin hung up the phone after he was done stating the address.
The phone rang again. Once again, Lu Bin picked up and repeated what he had previously told another customer.
It continued until Guo Aiguo arrived to take over. As soon as Guo arrived, he saw Lu Bin spinning like a top, busy answering calls about Chenxi Clothing Factory.
“Alright, alright, I understand. I have already recorded your details. Rest assured, we will definitely guarantee the quality. Thank you for your trust.” After hanging up, Lu Bin saw Guo Aiguo standing next to him, looking at the information he had just recorded.
“Boss, you’re finally here, these are all from the incoming inquiries.
Some callers mentioned they want to visit our factory and clothing. If they’re happy with the quality, they’ll place the order on the spot.
Others have placed orders directly and said that they will send someone to pick up the goods.” Lu Bin handed over the information he had gathered to Guo Aiguo.
As Guo Aiguo was about to flip through the information, the phone rang again.
Finally, when their throats were almost sore from talking, the phone fell silent and did not ring again.
Looking at the thick stack of documents in his hand and catching Lu Bin’s eye, they both shared a knowing smile.
“Boss, so many people are placing orders. The clothes we have stored up are not enough.” Lu Bin recalled the days when they worried about a lack of orders; now, too many orders were also a cause for concern.
“It’s fine, we can accept pre-orders. We can implement a piece-rate system, so the more they produce, the more they earn, and vice versa. This should motivate the workers.” Qin Xue had previously mentioned this system in a planning document.
Previously, Guo Aiguo thought his original method was quite efficient, so he didn’t change the existing rules. But now, seeing that everything was as Qin Xue predicted, he decided it was necessary to implement the piece-rate system.
“Alright, I’ll get it implemented tomorrow.” Lu Bin nodded.
“Okay, no one else should be calling now. You can go home.” Guo Aiguo noticed the time—it was past ten, and they’d been answering calls for over three hours.
“Alright, I’ll head home now, boss. Do go home soon too.” Seeing the late hour, Lu Bin nodded in agreement.
“Alright, I will finish up here and head home as well.” Guo Aiguo was planning to wait another half an hour. If no other calls came in, he would head home and get a good night’s sleep.
Guo Aiguo was left alone in the office to organize the customer information and consider how to distribute the existing clothing.
He had to work on a first-come-first-served basis, but Qin Xue had told him to ask for a deposit after the other party signed a contract. There could only be one representative for each province or city. Qin Xue coined this rule as the “Total Agency.”
