Money Blindness

  The current Longyuan business hall adopts a two-person station hall system. Every time a customer comes in, they must be greeted with a smile, asked about the business to be handled, and helped to take a waiting number. After sending the customer to sit in the waiting area, it can probably be judged that the customer's asset situation is decided whether to conduct marketing or return to the hall entrance to welcome customers.

  Lin Qiang arrived at the entrance of the hall, where Zhang Jiaming was wiping his greasy lips.

  Zhang Jiaming saw Lin Qiang arrive, and he quickly wiped his hands on his pants, smiling to greet him. During the morning meeting, Lin Qiang's aura had already had a suppressing effect on him, making Zhang Jiaming subconsciously feel a sense of urgency, not daring to be too casual, after all, Lin Qiang was his superior.

  Lin Qiang indeed came with ill intentions and asked as soon as he opened his mouth: "Why is there only one counter doing business now, and so many customers are waiting?"

  Longyuan Business Hall has 4 counters, but now only one is open. Lin Xiaozao is hastily printing receipts, and the customers also look very impatient.

  "Lin Qiang, you've also worked on the front lines before." Zhang Jiaming frowned and said, "People always need to eat, and when they're eating, their hands are definitely tense."

  "She won't have to eat anymore?" Lin Qiang pointed at Lin Xiao Zao.

  "Hey...... this......" Zhang Jiaming scratched his head awkwardly, "As for what's going on inside the counter, I don't know how they arranged it either... just take turns keeping watch."

  "I just passed by the conference room and saw that two colleagues had already finished eating and were chatting. Lin Qiang hummed softly, raised his hand to look at his watch, "We are quite busy, isn't the regulation 30 minutes for meal time?"

  "Director Lin... don't put me in a difficult position." Zhang Jiaming's face was scrunched up, "Look at me, I'm nothing, how can I manage them? If anyone should be managing, it should be you!"

  Just then, an old man with a round straw hat came in, and Zhang Jiaming was overjoyed and went forward to greet him.

  Lin Qiang's heart was clear, the current work method was actually "managed" by Zhang Jiaming. The director of the business hall, Hao Wei, except for the morning meeting time, was either in the office or slipped away with the excuse of "meeting" or "business trip", and was actually a absentee boss. Zhang Jiaming helped him to manage things here in an orderly manner, which also made Hao Wei tolerate some of his greedy behavior.

  No wonder they joined forces to squeeze me out. On the one hand, my presence put pressure on Hao Wei, and on the other hand, Zhang Jiaming could no longer cover up everything by himself.

  Actually, Lin Qiang didn't plan to work hard or struggle before coming here, nor did he plan to do things that would exhaust his mind and body like "seizing power". As long as he could earn enough money to repay the mortgage on time, it was fine. Promoting again would be too difficult, and it's not the right time yet, he needs to wait until the previous "loan event" cools down before considering it.

  But the reality in front of us is that some people want to ride on our heads without distinguishing between right and wrong.

  Perhaps it was their own reputation and prestige that intimidated them, or perhaps it was their greedy thoughts at play.

  But none of these matter anymore.

  From the moment he stepped into the basement, Lin Qiang had already walked out of the gloom of his transfer. At this time, he actually wanted to thank Zhang Jiaming for letting him find something to do in his disappointment and someone to fight against.

  "Director... Director?" Lin Xiao's crisp voice woke up Lin Qiang, "I'll take care of it, you don't need to come personally."

  Lin Qiang turned his head and looked away, a warmth flashed in his heart, and also a hint of pity.

  "Go eat quickly." Lin Qiang patted Xiao Zao, "I've spoken with Zheng Shuai, let him help you deal with the miscellaneous tasks this afternoon, and I'll arrange new work for you tomorrow."

  "Huh?...... It's nothing...... I won't be able to do anything, just helping out with some chores is fine!" Lin Xiaozi said, but her face showed a grateful and expectant expression.

  Since joining the company, Longyuan Business Hall has been arranged by Zhang Jiaming to work. For two months, she has been doing miscellaneous tasks or writing materials. She is also eager to make progress and improve herself, so when she heard that the new leader had an arrangement, how could she not be happy?

  "Then I'll go eat!" Lin Xiao's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and after slightly bowing, she quickly ran towards the backstage area.

  Lin Qiang looked at her clumsy running posture and couldn't help but smile.

  At this time, Zhang Jiaming also came back, and Lin Qiang smiled: "Xiao Zao... is just a student, has no experience, when seeing clients, can't even say a complete sentence, needs to practice more."

  Lin Qiang was indignant in his heart and felt that this guy was looking for a scolding: "What's the big deal? Writing some materials at the back is considered experience?"

  "Ah... that's not what I meant... making the best use of one's talents!" Zhang Jiaming explained, "You see, before you and Zheng Shuai arrived, apart from the director, she had the highest educational background. When it comes to writing materials and reports for the company, it really has to be her!"

  "So it's up to you for things like credit cards and online banking?" Lin Qiang asked sideways, waiting for Zhang Jiaming's reaction.

  "Ah...!" Zhang Jiaming suddenly stiffened, swallowed his saliva, and stuttered, "These marketing things... must be done by me."

  "Recently, a new foreign exchange financial management product was launched with high commissions and low risk, why haven't I seen you promoting it?"

  "Ah!" Zhang Jiaming wiped the sweat and said, "You may not be aware of the situation here. Most new residents don't have much spare money, and they're all young people who don't have that much wealth to manage."

  "How would you know if you don't ask?" Lin Qiang looked at the clients waiting on the sofa in the hall, "With so many people, it's definitely worth a try, right?"

  "Hey... I've been doing this for so many years, what kind of person can produce a single invoice, and I couldn't tell? Don't force me."

  Lin Qiang said, this guy is indeed a lazy fellow, snatching credit card sales from the counter, with so much income every month, naturally no need to push sales with a thick face. Putting others' performance under his own name and then being idle, I'm afraid that's the way of survival for this kind of old slicker.

  It's time to put an end to this exploitation!

  Lin Qiang didn't say much either, and simply glanced at the customers in the waiting area with a half-hearted smile.

  Many people think that financial management products are scams, but this is not the case. In an era of rapid inflation, if you don't manage your finances properly, the money in your pocket will inevitably depreciate slowly and eventually flow into the pockets of financial giants (Wall Street) through a series of complex processes. Like insurance and multi-level marketing, financial management products themselves are also good things, but have been ruined by some people.

  The reason for this situation is simple, it's entirely due to the unprofessionalism and greed of most product promoters. Their lack of professionalism makes them unable to distinguish between good and bad products, and they can't judge the market. Some promoters can only call out the name of the product. On the other hand, different products offer different commission rewards, and in most cases, promoters are more willing to promote high-commission products.

  But in reality, the opposite is often true: the higher the commission, the more it's a scam. For example, long-term life insurance (paying a portion of the premium to the insurance company each year and getting the money back slowly after several decades) appears to be profitable on the surface but is actually being aggressively sold and eventually becomes a total loss. Now, people avoid insurance salespeople at all costs.

  The bank's customer managers also face this problem, if they simply promote high-commission products that they don't even understand themselves, it will ultimately lead to a situation where the industry's reputation collapses.

  So some client managers will really help clients make money, measure the client's risk tolerance and then recommend products, ignoring those high-commission products, being pragmatic. Although doing so may result in less short-term gains for themselves, it is beneficial for cultivating a loyal customer base, gaining trust, and is advantageous in the long run.

  Lin Qiang relied on this point, taking quantity over quality, and his performance soared in the first year after joining the company.

  He scanned the waiting customers, judging their identities, occupations and financial resources with intuition.

  He finally locked onto the old man who had just entered.

  The old man's round-top grass hat was not a farmer's hat, but a Western-style one. Although he was dressed simply, he didn't lose his elegance. The most important thing was his cane, which looked very tasteful in terms of material and pattern. Most customers would look around, play with their phones, stare blankly or get impatient while waiting, but this old gentleman put his cane aside, pulled out a newspaper, and started reading it with great interest, apparently having anticipated the dull wait.

  Based on years of experience, Lin Qiang can basically confirm that he is a shrewd old man who lives here and has obviously just bought a new house, so his assets should be quite substantial.

  Following Lin Qiang's usual style, this is the time to go up and strike up a conversation, to probe.

  But this alone has greater use for him.

  To ensure his judgment, he flashed his double pupils again and used Qianyan once more.

  Zhou Ren: Current assets, 1.8 million

  Although I only have pension income, I am physically healthy, my children's careers are stable, and my short-term finances are balanced!

  Having three properties, long-term bullish!

  Lin Qiang was secretly delighted, 18 million in liquid assets, which is a relatively high amount. Nowadays, most people in Beijing invest their money in houses, so the actual liquid assets are not that much. Moreover, he has three properties, living in one and renting out the other two, generating a substantial rental income every month. To achieve this, with 18 million in idle funds, Mr. Lin is no ordinary person.

  Even so, Lin Qiang was very clear that the more formidable a person is, the harder it is to persuade them to manage their finances, especially this kind of seemingly clever old man, who is usually very stubborn and difficult to believe others.

  How can you know if you don't try?

  He had made up his mind and walked towards the back office with a smile.

  Zheng Shuai was indeed obedient, seeing Lin Xiao-zao eating lunch in the conference room, he came over and chatted with him in a casual manner, making Lin Xiao-zao's laughter audible outside the conference room.

  Lin Qiang pushed open the door and sternly shouted: "If you're not working properly, what are you doing?!"
