It is said that at one of the eight-up charity meeting, Liu's one-second dress was taken by 3 million people. Finally, music and applause, 38-Year-old Liu in a second in more than 10 men to the stage surrounded by the crowd. He was 1.8-meter inches tall, dressed in white, half-sided, and 45 degrees on his back, clapping more violently. A minute later, he lifted his hand into the air and motioned the students to sit.

The tickets for these classes are tens of thousands of yuan, but there are always nearly thousands of entrepreneurs flocking to them. After listening, most people will be obsessed with buying more courses, but no one can tell the southern weekend where the courses are "good". When the boss encounters "warrior" these all-pervasive "warriors", often make entrepreneurs extremely crazy. And those who are difficult to conquer, also often become "warrior" training of Live "target". Tri Junshe, 33, sits in the middle of the new trainee, who is the general manager of the Beijing East Audit Office. 2005, he carries 2000 yuan to start a business in Beijing. The company now has annual income of 27 million, but Tri Junshe feel more and more tired. Two years ago, he received a phone call from his sales staff, but he hung up without saying three words. But the people of Si-Octopus, who were called "warriors," did not stop, but launched phone and text messages. From the beginning of 2011, Cui almost every day to meet the "warrior" telephone. Finally, he decided to pay a lecture to see how these crazy salespeople came from a company that could make theirEmployees become like warriors. "Warrior," there are 5,000 of them, and they are increasing. These crazy "warriors" often make entrepreneurs extremely mad. And those who are difficult to conquer are often the targets of the soldiers ' training.

The latest is the operation director of Hangzhou branch, he told Liang, I will call (phone) until you come to class. In fact, not everyone can become a "warrior" new salesman, if not pulled to a single, it is not a "warrior." If pull to the list, then the Commission is not cheap: think eight regular will have 2500 yuan of small class, every sell to a hall, the salesman Commission 1000 yuan. And those from 10,000 yuan-300,000 yuan classes, Commission is the course fee of 10%. "Warriors" belong to the Legion: the Legion of Wealth, the Burning Legion, the Dragon Pa Lake ... Whenever there are courses to promote, the corps will be between PK. The 23-Year-old Zhangchao is one of the managers of these "legions". He joined the Si-da Shenzhen branch in 2008 after selling rice in supermarkets. At that time, si-octopus Shenzhen company only general manager and deputy general manager. Today, there are more than 150 "warriors", and the development of more than 100 customers Zhangchao, just bought a nearly million BMW. He even changed his name to Zhang Benyuan. The source is a thought of the curriculum term, refers to the return to the origin of all things. Changing the name to a course term is a popular practice. In Shenzhen, think of the staff on the wall, with Li Bloom, Han Sanxian, Zhanglian ... Every morning, Zhang Benyuan to host the early meeting, the potential customers are also invited. As early as 8:30, "Warriors" first jump two times "exultant", and then read aloud "The World's greatest salesman." Then, it is to invite the client and last month's sales champion to come onstage. The soldiers bowed to them respectively. Then came the one-hour group-by-unit incentive. The soldiers should take turns shouting three: "I xxx, today must be pulled to a single." "Buy a car, buy a house, do it!" "If you shout loudly enough, you'll have to do it again." Hebei Baoding Fu Kang da pharmacy general manager Sun Wei had visited the early meeting of think eight, standing beside his "warrior" whispered: "You do not want to let their employees like the think of the eight soldiers as motivated?" So Sun immediately introduced the process into his own company.

They are the bosses of small and medium-sized private enterprises, full with each other, come here to find a panacea, and comfort.

It is only 2009 years later, think of the rapid expansion of the eight-provincial agents from several developed to 25, the city-level agents from more than 10 to 114. Think eight Hebei branch, 2009 sales or 30 million yuan, 2010 turned nearly twice, up to 100 million yuan. This year, think eight total sales of 500 million yuan. The last day of the morning, the subject of the lecture is human motivation and resistance. Tri Junshe Initiative request to stage, he will be in "second brother" under the guidance of the resistance into power. Motivation is the goal, the public commitment. "I Tri Junshe to be in 2013, the annual income will reach 35 million, otherwise donate 1 million." The students were not satisfied with the number of boos. Tri Junshe smiled sheepishly: "2 million.

Tri Junshe spent 200 yuan, from a classmate that bought a string engraved with food, sex, love and other teaching terms of the bracelet. Students are Hebei bracelet processing business, each hand wearing five or six, a chance to sell, sell quite well. The highest end of the curriculum, called "Sanxian Wisdom", by "second brother" in person to teach, who has heard the course of the students, is considered to be "the", in the thinking of the students will be incomparable "admiration", each class, heThey are all arranged to sit closest to "second brother" and the chairs are different from others. June 18, lunch time. Tri Junshe met Mary (a pseudonym) who had Sanxian class. Mary from Zhengzhou, Henan province, is a building materials Enterprise general Manager, her factory's annual output value billion. Three years, she also felt that "second brother" is the God in her heart, Liu a second to where lectures, she bought her own ticket to chase where. But the more she heard, the more she gave birth to fear. "He gave us a beautiful picture, but how to achieve it, but did not tell us." In a Sanxian class, Mary sits in the front row. She saw a student rushed over to give Liu a second kowtow, "Warrior" pull the prisoner like drag him up. "Second brother" in a white robe didn't look at him and went away without looking back. At that moment, Mary felt that God had collapsed, "he said in his mouth to have great love, but this is a big love?" "A whole morning, Mary did not attend the lecture, she sat in the hotel lobby opposite the classroom in a daze." "Godfather" or businessman. South Weekend reporter failed to interview Liu One second, think of the group replied to have the provincial culture Hall official letter. In all the minds of the eight-man, Liu is a second God. The 38-Year-old "God" was born in a village in Suihua, Heilongjiang province. In 1999, the 25-Year-old went south into Shenzhen and lived on the balcony of a rented house. At that time, he graduated from Harbin Art School Not long, and was fascinated by speech and success at that time, the success of the transfer from RTHK to the mainland, Chen Anzhi and other Taiwan successful lecturer outspoken. To sell Chen Anzhi's class to a small-scale brand planning company in Shenzhen, he made a phone call to DreamWorks boss Mr Wang every day. Just before the lesson, Liu one second from 6 o'clock in the evening, every one hours to call Mr Wang, until the wee hours. Mr Wang went to the lecture and decided to act as agent. Liu one second joined the Dream Factory, marketing CD-ROM and books. Mr Wang recalls: "Liu one second every day to give customers 100 dozen phone calls, not to go home." In less than two years, Liu earned 1 million a second. Now, "second brother" in the classroom using "Taiwan kid" to describe the Chenan, he said: "The devil is not as good as people talk." 2002, Liu one second and crazy English Li Yang to the United States to listen to the potential to motivate the master's class. When he came back, he wanted to be a lecturer, but DreamWorks didn't give him a chance, so he chose to leave and lecture in the two or three-line city. In the same year, he met the Hebei Ningkuang wine industry (think of the company's current president), which opened a new door to wealth by local private entrepreneurs to agent courses. At the beginning of 2003, Liu one second in Xingtai, Hebei opened the first class, more than 30 students are Ningkuang use in the wine industry for many years to pull friends. After that, the search for local private entrepreneurs to open up the local market model, was quickly replicated. Hebei Cangzhou Liu Yongjun after listening to the class, decided to become Cangzhou agent. Liu in the local real estate business, developed several a hundred thousand of square meters of projects. 2009, Liu Yongjun agent for 5 months, sales 3 million. 2010 soared to 10 million, of which 50% were handed over to the provincial publicDivision, 10% as a commission to employees, excluding rent and taxes, Liu Yongjun last pure earn 1 million yuan. Some agents are often senior students will be Liu one second "training" into a lecturer. Yunnan Long Tai Pharmaceutical industry Chairman Zhu Shaolin is a, he is think of eight Yunnan province's general agent. He lectured in more than 10 cities this April. Regardless of how their identities change, Liu A second, is always the same "God" in the thinking of the eight people in the middle of this word: Teacher (Liu A second) is the sky flying one-stop, we are the ground run a group of pigs, how to chase also can't catch up. Think eight is this introduction Liu one second: the National Quality Research Institute training Director, China SME Association vice President, has received the Chinese chief planning Master Wang Zhixia Special Counseling. However, the southern weekend did not find a body called the National Quality Research Institute, the vice president of the SME Association currently has more than 50, are the head of the member enterprises, and Wang Zhixia's secretary told reporters "1998 years or 1999, Liu a second visited Wang Zhixia, for 40 minutes of conversation."
