"Cheers..." "Ready?" "Go..." "Woo..." "I'm on top of the world!" "Enough!" "No, no, no, baby one more one more one more please..." "Harpreet!" "You passed!" "Bunty, you bum, congrats!" "Come..." "I'll get you a drink." "Sai..." "Sai do something..." "It's your party dude and the DJ is leaving." "What's happening?" "Nonsense!" "Give him some more money." "He can't stop now, the party is just warming up." "I just did that, he won't take my money, says it's past 2 am and he has to wake up early." "Well it is past 2 am" " Wake up early...why become a DJ?" "Let me talk to him..." "HP if he doesn't want money it must be something serious." "Leave it." "Hello Prince Charles, not everyone is motivated by money." "So how else are they motivated?" "Have you ever heard of the word" " Persuasion?" "I keep telling him to apply for an MBA, doesn't listen to me." "Life is not all fun and games no..." "Ok grandpa" "Wow, what did you do?" "A little conversation, a little persuasion, a little negotiation..." "Done with your negotiation, can we talk about something worthwhile?" "Do you talk about anything else?" "Not my work, I'm talking about yours." "I'm starting with my dad's law firm, I don't care...what about you?" "Why?" "What about me?" "He graduated, isn't that enough?" "You won't take the MBA exam?" "If my grandfather was rich as your father, I would have taken the exam..." "So what will you do?" "S-a-l-e-s" "What...you'll be a salesman?" "Why?" "Aren't salesmen human beings?" "They are...of course they are...but not very rich human beings." "My son, do you remember Randy Bahadur, from arts?" "He is a salesman..." "He gets 40,000 rupees without blinking." "Half of that is commission, which he gets only after he gets an order." "And do you even know what all a salesman has to go through to get an order?" "!" "Why do you find fault in everything I do?" "Bloody negative bastard you are!" "No, once and for all let's get this straight, these management exams are not my cup of tea, and my family doesn't have money for a private MBA." "Sales is the only field where common sense matters more than grades." "And now you'll say that I don't even have common sense." "What'll I say..." "I don't want to." "Oh come on" "I told you I don't want to." "I don't do things that don't have power or money." "Just try it once." "People will pay just to watch you dance." "Good morning...morning...morning, morning...morning..." "Good morning" "Good morning...morning..." "Good morning" "Good morning..." "Good morning sir." "This is Harpreet Singh Bedi," "Harpreet Singh." "Harpreet Singh..." "Good morning sir I'm Harpreet Singh Bedi..." "Can I have a seat?" "Good morning sir I'm Harpreet Singh Bedi...ca..ca" "Morning gentlemen, morning ma'am." "I'm Harpreet Singh Bedi..." "I can't tell you how much I admire this unique company and..." "Unique?" "Good morning unique" "Come on son, come have some sweet curd for luck." "Have all your certificates?" "Especially your character certificate?" " Yes" "Brushed up on your general knowledge?" " Yes" "Have you memorized an essay?" "It's an interview, not an exam." "Have you memorized today's newspaper?" " Ya." "Put in money on your phone card?" " Ya" "Emptied your bowels?" "Oh man, on one side you're feeding me sweet curd and on the other... ok I'm leaving." "If you'd used your brains studying, you wouldn't need sweet curd for luck" "If Einstein studied with your snoring, he'd also have to eat sweet curd." "Had I taken to snoring again?" "You weren't taking, you were giving it to the world...for free." "Ok bye" "At least straighten your turban." "What does the company make?" "Don't know, will find out on the way" "They make computers grandpa." "My grades are low not my IQ." "Oh lord, all is up to you now." "However he is, he is your son." "Watch over him." "Good morning AYS...transferring sir" "Good morning AYS..." "line 2 sir" "Excuse me ma'am..." "Good morning AYS..." "Transferring you to sales sir," "Nitin, enquiry!" " He's inside the Taj Mahal, I'll speak to them." "I may look it, but I am not..." "You'll burn your fingers if you take a peek at other people's clients or wives." "Everyone's suspicious here!" "I'm going to leave this place." "I've heard it for 3 years." "Those who do things don't talk about it." "Hello..." "I haven't received a single call since morning." "I am not fasting." "Could you hold sir?" "What can I do if your territory's dead?" "When you get your territory, you don't say anything." "If you say something in the Taj Mahal, you hear an echo." "This month's commission is gone." "I had narrowed in on an LCD...wife will be upset." "Just try to get back home on time every day, she'll be happy." "Who troubles you more, your motorcycle or your wife?" "Connecting sir" "Go pick up, it's your client." "He's been trying you for four days." "Call them once in a while, clients don't die after sale." "Even the clients wonder, what happens to a salesman after a sale?" "Excuse me ma'am" " At Your Service good morning" "Sir please try and reboot." "No Mr. Puri is not in India..." "Chotelal, have you served Mr. Puri his coffee?" "He has had four since morning." "Nitin is inside with the sales figures." "It's a wonder he doesn't want a drink instead." "What are you looking at?" "Nothing" "You want to get killed?" "!" "Hello..." "Can I help you?" "Oh I'm sorry ma'am, I'm Harpreet Singh Bedi, for the sales interview" "One minute..." "Sir a call for you on line two." "You should have told me earlier." "You looked busy so I did not want to disturb." "Afraid of disturbing people..." "How will you become a salesman?" "Harpreet Singh?" " Yeah..." "I mean Yes" "Nitin sir has called you to the conference room." "Where is the conference room please?" "Up, in the sky." "Follow me" "Hello sir, I'm Harpreet Singh Bedi," "uh-it's an honour to be in this fantastic company" "Why, what is so fantastic about this company?" "Sales sir, your sales team's reputation is..." "Good...but it can be better. no experience nothing, 'put together college magazine'" "You want to be a salesman?" " Yes Sir..." "Ok, sell yourself, come on." "Sir, uh..." "I think I am a hard worker and" "You think, or you are..." "I mean l-I am sir...and I want to learn everything about products, markets, customer relations and" " Enough!" "Enough!" "Do you know selling?" " Uh, of course sir" "Sell this pencil to me, for 100 rupees." "Sir this eraser" "I took it off, but you convince me that it's still there." "Sir, how can I convince you if it's not there?" "If you can't sell, how can we give you a job?" "Apply elsewhere." "Hello sir, I'm Harpreet Singh from Singh Pencils, this is our new pencil, HS-1016" "Sorry we have already stocked up pencils for the year" "No problem sir, let me give you a quick two-minute demo." "Why watch a demo of a pencil with no eraser?" "This is not a pencil without an eraser." "It's a pencil with a detachable eraser." "Come up with something new!" "Sir, the lead on this pencil is unbreakable." "Sir, if you apply that much pressure, anything will break." "But see, this pencil this can be sharpened easily too." "Telling lies doesn't make a sale." "But perfume can make a sale." "Sir, this eraser sir, it is a specially imported perfumed eraser." "Should we put the pencil up our noses?" "No sir, in the AC vent..." "See?" "There are many other uses for this." "It's an ear bud for cleaning ears." "A Tooth pick for cleaning teeth." "Hair..." "I mean comb." "Reboot your mobile." "You can make a 3 pin socket into a pin socket." "In case, you're still not satisfied, you can kill time with it." "Like you are..." "What's going on?" " Sir" "Puri sir" "Hello sir" "Sir, those sales interviews." "Nothing special sir." "Take him" " Sir?" "You did not give up, I like that" "Thank you, sir" " Okay you can go now" "Your mark sheets" "He failed a year, sir!" "Not failed exactly, fell short on attendance." "Sales' doesn't run on mark sheets, it runs on balance sheets." "Selling a two rupee pencil like a Mercedes..." "He must be something." "Thank you sir, I won't disappoint you" "Don't." "15,000...per month...no medical, no gratuity, no provident fund... six months training, no commitment from our side...yes, or no" "Yes!" "Everyone, this is...uh, Singh...sales trainee" "Welcome to wonderland" " Disneyland" "Koena" " Sexy" "His mother's name!" " Rajess" "Rumaan, double A" " Narayan" "Tanmay" " Taxi" "Bastard..." " Chotelal give the new kid the product brochure, rate list, etc." "Tomorrow is Sunday, memorize everything." " Yes sir" "Now go settle down...over there..." "Go on" " Yes sir" "This way..." "Okay Monday morning's meeting, everyone's gonna get it." "So everyone please keep your sales figures ready." "We still have eight months to go and we know..." "One who sells the most will be the salesman of the year, will receive a commission of 5 lakh and a Goa vacation" "And you'll get a London vacation, after adding up everyone's sales." "I heard that..." " Where are you going this year boss?" "We beat around in the sun and he gets a London trip." "You know, you guys need to improve... personal attack is a below the belt game." "Let us be professional here, okay?" "Yesterday, he coined a new slogan" "Shut up, cup-plate." "Sit down" "And those who don't...goodbye." "What does that mean?" "That's what happens in sales." "Those who can't perform they have to go." "Where will he go?" "He can go anywhere, join another company if he likes." "What if that company turns out to be the same?" "Of course, it'll be the same." "Today's companies have become so unethical." "Professional..." "Professional grandpa." "Not like in your times, go to office every day, sign in, eat lunch and come home." "As if we didn't work all our lives, companies ran by themselves?" "I am not talking about you...you believe work is worship." "These professionals..." "what does work mean to them?" "Nothing, just work." "How does it matter?" "As long as my grandson worships his work." "Rest, leave it to god." "Yes." "Hold him, hold the Sardar" "Oh..." "No, no please, let go of me Sardar..." "He failed." "Mr. Inamdar." "Honest man." "He got his due!" "Meaning?" " Nitin sir wants to see you." "They want 56 computers" "So, put in a quote for 16...we'll see." "Yes sir" "Read it all?" "All set?" " Of course" "Anyone want to volunteer for his field induction?" "Haven't been on a field visit in a long time, let's see what's going on in whose territory." "Yeah!" "As if a manager becomes a salesman again by riding a motorcycle." "The Wife must have taken the car..." "Letterheads..." "Visiting cards." "10 in pocket, 10 in wallet. 20 in bag." "Let's go." "350 huh?" "Now that's a motorcycle, sir." "Zip it up." "You are wearing it the wrong way sir." "Does your dad run a laundry?" "By evening the shirt will get dirtier than your tongue." "From this signal to the next is your territory." "No other AYS sales executive will venture into the offices here." "Any inquiries from here, Koena will let you know..." "But this is a residential area, sir!" "Where will I find an office here?" "Even if you did, what would you do?" "Sell pencils?" "Sign in." "What are you doing?" "Filling in our names and our company's name." "You want to become a salesman?" "First rule of the field, never write your or your company's correct details anywhere." "Why?" " Put an ad in the paper instead!" "No one looks at the register in the company." "But a competing salesman always scans the entries for names of fools, like you." "Are all these names incorrect then?" "Of course!" "The salesmen names are incorrect, like this James Bond." "He is from Monovo." "He is marking his territory here." "He is teasing us..." "He thinks he's already got the order." "So then?" "I have a trump card." "Let me see, if I can use it now." "Mr. Pandey!" "Sir!" "It's been a while..." "Thanks!" "What news?" "The guy from Monovo has been hovering here since morning." "Saw him photocopying some documents in a hurry." "Server quotation" "Thanks." "Sorry boss" "What is it?" "Nothing boss, he's crazy." "Oh look, your floor!" "Boss..." "Ha!" "He got off on the wrong floor." "New kid from Wintel." "By the time he reaches the client he'll grow up." "Ok sir...yeah...6.30?" "Ok sir." "I'll just convey it to him." "Have a nice day." "Yes?" "Yes?" "Are you going to say something or keep smiling like a fool?" "How are you?" " Sharma sir is busy." "Couldn't I have come to meet you?" "You wouldn't meet your wife without a reason." "First become the wife, then we'll see." "Sit down, let me see, idiot." "Is she your girl friend?" "I am not that desperate." "What if she'd taken offense?" "You were taking a big risk, sir!" "Even Spiderman has to take risks," "At least you're a salesman." "Ok...go ahead!" "Idiot." "Mr. Sharma's Australia trip canceled." "Bonuses announced." "Mr. Mavalankar promoted." "Ha!" "My next trump card." "You go in first." "He's in bad a mood." " Why?" "Because Mavalankar has been promoted." "Go in!" "Good morning sir, I am Harpreet Singh, this is my colleague" "Nitin, how are you?" "Now that you're a sales manager, we don't exist anymore?" "No sir, nothing like that." "Tanmay must be dropping by now and then!" "You must be busy planning your Australia trip?" "No I canceled it." "There's a lot of work in office." "I thought this company has other people as well?" "Yes I have heard that there are, but till date I haven't seen any..." "Anyway, tell me more..." " Tanmay must have mailed you the quotation?" "Is that a quotation?" "This...you people mail anything." "He is a kid." "Still learning the ropes." "So what range are you looking at?" "I will send you a fresh one." "Ok, I'll let you know." "By the way the Monovo people were saying that Mr. Mavlankar asked to keep it less than 10 lakh" "Mavlankar?" "What has he got to do with this quote?" "This is not even his department!" "No sir they said that he has been promoted, and now heads the purchase department." "One minute." "Do me a favour!" "Send in a new quote of 10 lakh, 10 thousand." "Throw in a year of free service and warranty." "Then let's see who gives, I mean, who gets the order?" "Right sir" "But I must say these Monovo people are very unprofessional," "I never expected this from them." "Now what can I say sir!" "We have a policy of not talking about Competition" "Yes I know, sorry you?" "Hello sir I'm..." " My cousin sir, I was dropping him off to college." "You're too good boss" "Weren't you getting too familiar with Tanmay's client?" "No, no sir, I was introducing myself." "Started already?" "Sales freak!" "Good, good." "But sir, how did you know of the Monovo plan?" "Did you skip high school classes as well?" "Didn't they teach you necessity is the mother of invention!" "But how did know the exact quotation?" "I read it!" "How else would I know?" "On that notice board?" "Sharma!" "But Mr. Sharma didn't show us any quotation" "No one shows you a quotation kid!" "You have to see it." "That's what he was reading!" "You can read upside down too?" "You know what they call a salesman who can't read upside down?" "What?" "A Blind salesman." "If Jogeshwari is on the Goregaon link road then, it is in Jogeshwari." "Isn't it?" "No it's not." "Everyone knows it's in Goregaon." "He is my prospect Mr., and I have already spoken to him." "Madam, when you'd called I was there." "Besides, I've already spoken with Nitin." "Nitin!" "Oh hello...got your target?" "No, where do you get it from?" "It falls on your head." "Look I am warning you, if you even look at my clients," "I'll kill you." "Hello" " Put Giri on." "Who?" " It's Koena, who else would call you here." "Pass the phone to Giri." " Giri who?" "Get up, look over the partition." "The Service manager." "Hurry up now, his client is getting impatient." "Hi" "What?" " How much longer?" "Your client's been waiting an hour." " I don't know." "Give me an estimate?" "Or will you make him wait till evening?" "Told you, I don't know." "It's a technical problem, will take time." "What's the problem?" " The Monitor is not showing anything." "Needs a new mother board." "Why don't you open it and take a look Giri sir?" "Maybe it can be fixed." "Open it." "Open it." "Whack it in!" "Not that!" "The third one!" "Is it in?" "Reboot." "It's working." "It was a loose connection." "Pack it up." "Dial Koena, number 9" "Tell the client his mother board was fried-Rs. 5000." "Less?" "It's his fault, he didn't use a UPS." "That's another Rs. 3,250." "Will take a week to fix it all." "If you want a client's blood why don't you ask him?" "Why are you asking for money?" "Experience!" "He's the one getting a week's experience." "If I fixed your computer in 5 minutes would you pay me 10,000?" "Should I tell Nitin sir?" "Go tell him!" "How do you think his London trip is funded?" "From here." "Now leave me alone." "Chotelal yesterday's CD...where is it?" "It's here." "Sir please don't leave it lying around." "You watched it last night?" "No, no, I left." "You watched The wild Queen?" "Go get me a cup of tea." "Should I pack this?" "What..." "leave it." "Get me tea first." "Even Spiderman has to take risks," "At least I'm a salesman." "What's going on?" "I have an announcement." "Jai Hind Motors is in!" "Party time in the evening, booze is on the company," "Women are not, so bring your own" "Yes, yeah, I'm calling from office." "Will I be calling you from college again?" "Please eat dinner, I'll be late." "I have an office get-together." "Oh!" "We can discuss fixing the flush later." "Ok, bye." "Sorry Mr. Mishra..." " What...?" "You are Chotelal Mishra?" "It's on the intercom list" "What's this...the man who failed is the most educated." "Chotelal, what are you doing?" "It's spilling." "Don't worry madam." "Everyone in a line please." "I'll serve you" "Move it Grandpa, move it or I'll put in a quotation." "Nitin?" "Have you spoken to Mr. Puri about me?" "Oh shit..." "Please Nitin, the office manager's position has been open for a longtime." "They will get someone eventually and anyways, I have been looking over the work." "Hope you've been looking out for the phone calls?" "The credit card collector has been trying to get to you for two months." "Has he reached you yet?" "So attendance shortage, how are you?" "I'm good sir, thank you, how are you" "How ambitious are you exactly?" "Do you think you can take over his job?" "No sir" "You think I would have fired him if you said yes?" "No, no sir" "I like you, you didn't get emotional." "You have a quality to go up, but you also have a quality to go down." "Eventually the quality that wins will define your life." "So where you want to go?" "Up or down?" "Up sir" "To climb up, you'll have to walk over many people and they will bite you hard." "And tomorrow if you're late for work, your pay will be cut." "Welcome to AYS!" "Booo!" "Shit man!" "They say after 70, a man's age restarts from zero." "Dude, close your eyes." "One minute..." "I don't have two minutes...don't you understand!" "I waited for you for three hours, you don't have 2 minutes for me" "Ok fine, it's your carpet." "Don't blame me later." "New pinch!" "What's this?" "Our brand new scooter" " What?" "Yes...one with a button start." "No more kicking or pushing, just gently press the button and fly like a bird." "You want to ride a scooter at this age?" "Why should I ride it?" "I'll sit behind like a prime minister." "You'll drive right?" "Me?" " Yes" "Ride a scooter?" " What's the problem?" "It's your favorite colour too." "Maroon." "Grandpa I have told you earlier, jokes after 9:30 am only!" "It's no joke!" "I put my life's savings into buying it." "But I never asked for a scooter." "You go finish your toilet, and then we'll talk...more comfortably" "What comfortably?" "You put your entire savings into buying me a scooter without telling me!" "How much advance did you pay?" "The scooter is outside." " You paid the entire amount?" "You don't get a scooter for half the price!" "Come on Sardar, check it out." "Bloody hell." "Why are you being so difficult?" "Can't gifts given with love, be received with love?" "Did I ask you for it?" " It's very modern." "Ride it once and see." "Did I ask you for it?" "Have I only given you things when you asked for them?" "Who are you to ask?" "!" "Go to hell!" "Target Rs.6,00,000." "25000/-." "If 1 computer is for Rs. 25000/- and 24 PCs quarterly, means 24 computers in three months, monthly," "You have 8 PCs to sell and it's already the 20th of this month." "But I started last week on the 14th and I got my target today so ideally my month starts today?" "Really?" "You're learning fast!" "Just do what you're told boss," "You're a trainee not a Managing Director." "Right sir" " That's the spirit" "Listen..." "On your way drop this quotation off to Mr. Chaudhary at National Chemicals." "National Chemicals is in the wrong direction." "So, did we hire you to go in the right direction!" "Best of luck for your first client visit." "Stop by a temple for blessings." "Emotions are under control," "My scooter has petrol." "That's all I need." "Good morning sir" "Fine...and the rest?" "The rest sir, if you have any further requirements, let me know." "I'll arrange it." "What's there to arrange?" "I'll give you an address, have it sent there." "Sure sir, do you have another branch?" "That's a good one." "I do, my sister's house." "How much has been decided?" "Whatever is in the quotation." "Plus taxes." "Government gets taxes." "What do we get?" "You get the machines sir..." "Nice sense of humour you have huh?" "10 percent ok?" "Sir please why are you pulling my leg?" "No I am not...are you?" "Sir, please don't embarrass me sir" "Your attitude is very unprofessional." "Work will be difficult...for you." "Sir please speak to Nitin directly." "I am leaving." "Leaving without anything?" "On an empty stomach?" "Some tea or coffee." "Sardarji?" "..connecting sir At your service, Good afternoon..." "I will get it sent across." " Where is Mr. Nitin?" "Right...sir, back so quick." "Is it raining outside?" "Where is Mr. Nitin?" "Inside the Taj Mahal." "He's already had 4 cold drinks, waiting for you." "These days there's a lot of Global warming." "Good afternoon sir" "Hello sir" "What happened at NCC?" "What didn't happen?" "Something is terribly wrong there." "Why?" "What happened?" "Sir, he asked for a bribe and to my face." "What are you saying?" " I swear!" "So what was your reply?" "I didn't say anything at the time, I carefully tried to explain it." "But on my way out I saw a complaint box," "I wrote down all the details and dropped it in, properly on our company letterhead." "Signature, date...everything." "Here's a copy." "What happened sir?" "Aren't you being over smart?" "Why, what happened?" "You think without authorization you can use the company letterhead and make false allegations against our clients?" "And get away it?" "Sir it's a clear case of company letterhead forgery." "One second boss." "Who do you think you are?" "How dare you place allegations against the managing director of NCC?" "You are barely born and already trying to fly high?" "Sir it was your decision in the interview." " Shut up Nitin" "We can charge him with fraud to begin with..." "Let's consult the lawyers, there'll be many more charges." "Sir please tell him to mind his language sir" "You bastard..." "You think you can go and spoil our relations with clients, and nothing will happen to you." "How dare you speak to our clients in such a way?" "You haven't sold one thing yet, but you talk as if you've sold millions." "I'll slap you so hard, you won't know what hit you." "Quietly complete your training period and get out of here." "One mistake..." "One more mistake and I will throw you out..." "Bloody bastard..." "Get out!" "Did you have to be so righteous?" "You should have quietly gone back to work, and let them resolve it." "Did you have to become a hero?" "Did someone tell me when I started, that the company was corrupt and I'd have to do all this." "Every company is like this, and you have to do this in every company." "This is common sense" " Leave this job." "Leave and do what?" "I haven't even finished one month yet." "It'll look bad on my resume." "Hello...yes I am in office." "No, you eat dinner, uh, I have another get together." "I won't ride the scooter drunk." "You've bought me a MIG 29 it might end up crashing!" "Ok bye" "To top it off, this scooter has tapped into his savings." "Why don't you join a call center?" "They'll employ anyone." "I didn't mean it like that!" "You will need a relieving certificate from the previous employer." "Tell them it's your first job." "What have I done?" "Why should I lie to anyone?" "Should I go beat up Mr. Puri?" "That's all that's needed." "You should have made at least one sale in all these days..." "How long has it been since you joined the job?" "Listen to me...don't worry, go to office tomorrow." "Your Puri will have forgotten everything." "Who remembers a trainee in such a big company" "Exactly" " Right?" "Watch me, I'll leave for my field-rounds early tomorrow." "Notice!" "What happened?" "Trouble?" "Did you have a fight with Nitin?" "What happened bro?" "What happened?" " They're praising you" "A lot" " Read it out to him" "Mr. Harpreet Singh is henceforth stopped from visiting any clients..." "He will only make cold calls from his desk.." "...and pass on leads to other colleagues..." " Colleagues" "They have stopped you from entering the field." "Your targets have been thrown away." "Not just targets, your entire career is over." "Ok people, sales target meeting, in the conference room." "Oh man what now?" "There are limits to targets." "Let's go drop our pants and stand in a row." "Don't know what's going to happen?" "Boss, not you" "What will you do if you came?" "Yours have already been dropped!" "What did you do boss?" "Beat up a client?" "Bloody idiot!" "You'll get us killed, which idiot hired you?" "You call my clients, I'll beat the crap out of you." "You look so normal on the outside, but on the inside you're completely mad." "Why don't you get admitted?" "Oh anti-corruption branch, from now on your territory is mine If you have any leads give them to me." "I'd give them to you, if there were any." "Look at this idiots' attitude." "Why don't you shut up." "Because of you all our targets have been doubled." "Watch what you say." "Don't come near me." "I'll kill you." "No use talking to him." "Idiot." "What are you doing?" "The Ramayan is on." "Ramayan has been on for ten years now." "Has anyone learned anything?" "How many times will you watch the same thing over and over?" "You're letting things get to you." "This job has stressed you out." "Don't work too hard." "You are a hard worker anyway." "Do your co-workers realize this?" "Jobs today are too stressful." "They make good men into coconuts." "Hello Harpreet" " Good morning" "Hey Harpreet..." "What happened?" "Hello" " Good morning ma'am," "I'm calling from At your Service computers, we sell and support all kinds of PCs and also undertake..." "Please don't bother me!" " No problem ma'am, l-I'll try later." "Hello" " Good morning sir, I'm calling from At your Service Computers..." "Call later!" "No-no problem sir, I'll try later." "Somebody's just died...will you let people die in peace at least?" "!" "Oh!" "I'm extremely sorry sir, I'll try you later." "Yes sir" "What is it?" "!" "Why do you keep calling?" "uh hello...sir" " Please don't irritate me!" "Hello..." "Sir am I speaking to Jai hind Joshi." " What number have you dialed?" "Give me your business card?" "All of them." "Nitin wants them." "You are not going on field, we'll cut them and give them to taxi." "Nitin said so." "This seat is cursed..." "Hello sir, A 21 inch monitor is perfect for entertainment." "ok see you, bye" "Can you drop me to the station my husband isn't coming." "I had an inquiry from your territory, for 2 PCs" "Give it to Rajesh, I have to give it to him anyway." "If you don't give him one or two you won't catch malaria." "Quietly go get an order." "Tell them after a couple of days." "If you don't get an order, you'll get into trouble;" "Get an order, and get into trouble...or not." "Ok..." "Don't take it." "My husband's here, Ok bye" "So what I'm saying is ma'am that, the kind of technical expertise we have, the kind of experience we have, and the kind of service we give, we don't really have any competition." "But your company is so big, so your prices..." "Why?" "Just because the company is big that doesn't mean, the prices should be high." "They have to be based on the customer's pocket, not the company's." "And that's exactly what we do!" "And you want a bet..." "That is really impressive..." "but...ummm..." "Discount...?" "Ma'am at least place an order first." "Pentium processor with this graphic card..." "Ma'am I'm going to give you the best price..." " Okay" "Ma'am we...uh, we don't sell Pc's with this graphic card." "But no problem, I'll check with the office." "Boss are you a trainee or something?" "No...but everyone has a boss." "I am sure you do too?" "No." "He doesn't even know what kind of product he has, forget it, those who can't do anything, become salesmen." "Okay, please find out from somewhere else." "From where...?" " I don't know ma'am" "Look..." "I'm really sorry..." "For the last two days we're meeting salesmen after salesmen..." "It's okay - at least find out for us..." "What?" "Which company assembles this configuration with this graphic card?" "Ma'am I told you, I don't know." "Noodles?" " Huh? please eat...it's ready...please eat." "Please join us." "Ayesha, come eat." "Come on" "They are plain glasses." "We started a new business but no one takes us seriously." "Neither parents, nor clients nor salesmen." "I'll uh...find out about your graphic cards" "Hello" "Yes, how can I help?" "Sir, do you keep this graphic card?" "HD 4350...keep them, I sell them." "What's the Price?" " Here it is." "What's the price?" " Rs. 4,400" "And for two?" "Why don't you take it for Rs. 8,000, I'll throw in the condiments for free." "Can't it be less?" "That is the wholesale rate." "How much will you reduce?" "With rest of the parts, you'll have a new PC for Rs. 20,000, and you'll at least sell it for Rs. 30,000?" "One can assemble a PC with this card for Rs. 20,000?" "Then?" "We make one for Rs." "25,000...want one?" "But companies don't sell it to the customers for less than 35-40,000 rupees." "If it's made for so little, why sell it for so much?" "The thing is, the word customer has mer (die) in it." "Forgive me lord Ganesh." "See, if I had an A/C room, a big store, I would also sell it for more." "This is quite a con!" "You're buying two, who are you conning?" "No, I am not conning anyone." "Can I keep this price-list?" "I want it for a client." "Keep it." "I was going to recycle it anyway." "And listen, get your stuff today or tomorrow." "Here the world changes like this..." "like this..." "like this." "There's no guarantee of anything." "I know..." "Ok...bye...that, that will cost you Rs. 350, do you want it?" "Hello, Miss Sherena please..." "Hi it's me..." "Uh, Harpreet..." "You asked me to find out about the PC's." "How are you?" "Good." "We'll supply it" "Oh...okay..." "Uh..." "Rs. 27,500 per PC with one year guarantee" "Are you sure?" "Is there a sale on?" "No, uh, because this is your first order." "Ok..." "Who should I make the cheque out to?" "..." "That...uh- hello" "Hello...?" "Rocket..." "Rocket Sales Corporation" "Mr. Lalwani?" "I was about to close." "Do you want the card?" "Yes, 2 graphic cards, and everything that goes in for 2 PCs." "Pack everything." "Who are you conning?" "You." "I'll take it on credit." "Payment next week." "Do you see that" " Cash today, credit tomorrow" "When you started your business, how much money did you have?" "Someone must have trusted you and given you credit." "Yes, that was a relative." "So consider me your relative too and keep my scooter as a guarantee." "It's more valuable than this purchase." "What kind of business deal are you making?" "Will you give it to me?" "Ok go ahead." "As it is, I've never seen a Sardar cheat someone, take it." "But when you get what you want don't forget me, you've made me your relative." "If I forget everything, I won't forget this Mr. Lalwani...thanks" "What are you doing in office at this hour?" "You can barely bring in orders during the day, what will happen in the night?" "I have some work for me..." "I mean you..." "You've managed to mess up work with this company, now what work do you have?" "There's..." "Uh...there's an order" "Aren't you supposed to pass your orders to others?" "No, I'm not giving this order to anyone." "Who is the client?" " A friend of mine." "You mean it's a personal order, not the company's?" "Profit is also personal." "What you seem, you are not." "What you are, I don't know." "Do you have petrol in your scooter?" " Why?" "I don't waste fuel on friend's work." "It's a rule, from my engineering college days." "Shall we leave?" "Yes - let's go" "What?" "Nothing." "Is all this yours or AYS's?" "Did I ask you if the order was yours or AYS's" "See, for 50 years, government has been encouraging us..." "Become entrepreneurs, become entrepreneurs." "Shouldn't we do something or will the government do everything?" "Did you ever apply for a government job?" "No why?" "Nothing, the country was spared." "Does Puri know?" "No boss, keep it quiet." "Why drop an ant in an elephant's trunk?" "What if he finds out?" "Who'll tell him, you?" "This is the configuration..." "will you get it ready by 10 am?" "Why 10 am?" "It'll be ready by 8 am" "When do you sleep?" "In office!" "Any advance cash?" "No, it's ok." "Thanks." "Shall I leave?" "See you." "Oh, I forgot...the software." "Were you born today?" "When there's a free copy, why buy it legally?" "PC will become expensive..." "I'll reduce my profit." "But I won't reduce my fees..." "Instead of fees, I'll share the profit with you...ok?" "I don't mind, but if you use legal software and give me profit sharing, what will you earn?" "Peanuts?" "It's okay" "What?" "All okay ma'am?" "We'll know in time." "I hope your service etc..." "See our service." "Well, I hope I don't have to see it..." "Of course...any problems call me, on my mobile phone..." "No need to call my office..." "Why?" "Is it unavailable?" "Uh, no." "And another thing" "Yes?" "This was my first order." "So it's not that 'those who don't know anything become salesmen'." "Right" " Right" "Well, thanks" "Well you're most welcome" "Hurry up...dinosaurs are jumping around in my stomach..." "I'm coming..." "I'm very hungry dadaji, what's for dinner?" "Lentils and spicy fried potatoes." "Oh forget the lentils, let's order a pizza...what do you say?" "What's going on?" "Have you received a big order?" "Don't ask, just tell me...you want it or not?" "Yeah sure treat me, But first let's thank the lord, you've barely begun and you are successful." "Thank you, God." "My child has worked diligently and you have blessed him with success." "So please guide him through a righteous path and protect him from evil." "Let his mind be free from deceit and let his head be held high." "I belong to God, and God is Victorious" "Call for pizza." "No, let's have the lentils instead." "Why?" "What's happened now?" "No let's have the lentils." "What are you doing..." "I'm downloading" "I'm confessing everything to Puri." "Whatever money I get, I will return it to him." "And I will clear your payment in time." "What?" "!" "What's gotten into you this morning?" "Calm down and let me explain." "If you mention me, I'll deny everything." "Is Mr. Puri free?" "He has lunch at the club." "Where's the club?" "Our offer is value proposition." "See the price, see the quality and make a decision." "Drink?" "2 More please... come, come..." "Sit." " Sorry sir," "I'll come back later." "Sit...sit..." "Please sit." "Remember him?" "Your old friend?" "Say hello." "Hello" " Hello." "How are your..." "Sir, I'll come back later." " No, sit...sit..." "We were just praising you." "Sit...sit." "Do you know this man?" "Oh!" "of course you know...but you must have thought..." "Is this the company's most idiotic employee?" "No he is." "He's an idiot." "Zero!" "Total zero!" "But even a zero has value...we were talking about value." "Ask how?" "Simple." "Just like the value of zero, he also has value." "Idiot, doesn't have a basic brain." "Doesn't know how to talk, nor does he understand things." "A donkey, zero!" "But even a zero can be useful sir, if the person who uses it understands its value." "Put it in the right place, and you can keep putting it till it becomes of use." "Zero is quite amazing." "It was invented in India!" "Where else?" "Today this idiot, this zero was helpful to my company more than the salesmen...ask me how?" "Him?" "It's a fact sir, a fact." "You see, this donkey misbehaved with you." "But he is a donkey, he will kick you." "But because of his donkey-ness, I found what an opportunity." "Like a 9/1 1 attack on the company." "I decreased the sales commissions, doubled the targets." "And you won't believe it," "I'm sitting on the most profitable quarter of my career." "Accountants are in a haze." "And all this because of this big zero." "But what happened with you was very wrong we'll ask him to beg for forgiveness." "Come on say sorry to sir." "Say sorry sir, I won't do it again." "Shall I make him do a hand stand?" " please..." "Should he." "Sorry" "Forgive him." "He is a small man." "Not our level." "So when should we expect clearance on our order?" "It has gone to the higher ups." "By tomorrow you'll get it." "Just give us good service." "Aren't we giving you good service now?" "Let's go confront him." "You did your best, now just quit." "Right, you are not meant to be a salesman." "Leave it." "I'll leave it, but wherever I go I'll be the same." "Was it your mistake?" "It's the company's fault." "And if the next company is the same?" "And the next one?" " Meaning?" "Meaning I always quit boss." "You two studied hard night after night, while I played cricket, know why?" "Because I'd failed on the inside from the beginning." "That's why whatever numbers I earned were enough." "Passing MBA exams is one thing," "I failed the moment I thought of taking them." "I was kidding..." "No listen...do you know why Puri insults me over and over?" "Because I let him, because I'm satisfied that I have a job." "You know what I just realized, it's not his fault, it's mine because I'm taking it." " You're nice..." "Nice!" "Nothing happens with being nice." "Mice are nice." "I had to pay the price for being nice." "The people who are not so nice should pay the price." "Have a seat...have a seat" "If like every time, I live with being nice, it'll be the biggest mistake of my life." "I'm going to teach that Puri a lesson." "Forget it, you were going to quit right?" "I was...but now I won't let go." "I won't let go off the job..." "I was interviewed and selected." "I'm suitable for this job." "I haven't done anything wrong." "But if the whole company is wrong, then..." "Company is wrong but company will be right." "I won't do wrong and I won't leave this job." "So what will you do?" "I don't know... but whatever I do, for the rest of his life," "Puri won't call anyone a zero." "Whatever happened till today was a mistake." "But I'll make that mistake big," "so big, that AYS will look like a mistake in front of it." "Calm down, your career's just started." "Why are you taking such a risk?" "Even Spiderman has to take risks," "at least I'm a salesman." "You should use the key, Sakku..." "Where were you since yesterday?" "Did Puri fire you?" "No, he offered me beer." "Oh come on, Puri is the king in the computer assembly business for 20 years." "He has 2,500 clients in his pocket." "He's so shrewd, branded companies steer clear of him, and you want to compete with him?" "There's a big difference in making a computer for a friend and starting a company." "You haven't hatched out of the egg yet and you want to be a roast chicken?" "What do you know about making a PC?" "You know, that's enough." "Fifty-fifty, every order, every month" "Lift." "Lift." "Congrats...put a sexy girl's photo on that, it'll attract clients..." "Sorry" "These are A4 sheets, right?" "What's their price?" "Why?" "How much does the printer cartridge cost?" "You want one?" "I'll give them to you..." "How many?" "Also the electricity, we are the only ones using it...right?" "How much will all of this be?" "Whatever it is, Puri will pay." "What is it to you?" "All this, printer paper electricity phone calls ink," "I'll return their cost to Puri one day, with bank interest." "Why?" "He wants to ruin your career and you're looking out for him!" "Not him, I'm looking out for us..." "There has to be some difference between AYS and Rocket Sales Corporation." "Yes I can see the difference..." "while he's making a profit, on our first day, We're talking about losses." "Make some room...these are old files..." "There's a lot of space on your desk..." "Bablu, get more." "Everyone!" "Please meet Mr. Shah, our new office manager..." "Mr. Shah, this is the sales team, that is customer support, and over there accounts..." "Narayan" " Hello..." "Hello" "Nitin..." "Nitin...one minute." "This manager, meaning new..." "Yes, so?" "Ohh...happens..." "let it go." "But you said, Puri sir was giving me..." "So?" "If someday that cup-plate wants to be the MD, will we make him one?" "There is a system!" "Not everyone is suited for every post." "There's ability..." " But Nitin, I am handling all the work, and that ability..." "Is that ability?" "The ability that you have, is it less?" "You should stay where we can see you looking pretty." "You increase sales by 2-4% when clients come in." "Now, I'm a little busy...ok?" "Koena..." "One minute" " What?" "No, not here" " What is it?" "The next time I'll slap you, there are times for pranks." "I am not joking" " Neither am I...now leave." "What's your problem?" "Why don't you do your work, instead of talking nonsense." "Will you be our office manager Koena?" "Join us." "Join what?" "First get out of here...have you last your brains." "Haven't you had enough of a beating, that now you're looking for more?" "!" "If anyone inside hears of this, they'll make mince meat out of you and distribute it to all the companies." "Will you join us?" "Yes or no?" "Why are you doing this?" "Because, we work in an office where no one sees our potential." "And things that are the most useless, things that are most unrelated, they notice the most." "And we have become only one thing- me a joker Sardar and you an item girl." "Have you lost your mind?" "You told Koena everything!" " Relax" "Why relax?" "!" "She will tell Puri everything, then we'll be kicked out and then we can relax for the rest of our lives." "No she won't, she's not the type." "Why won't she talk?" "How do you know how people are?" "In this company, everyone is a master of politics." "They'll sell your underwear and you'll keep saying thank you thank you." "She won't tell anyone." "Why wouldn't she?" "Is she related to you?" "Koena is not that way." "Don't fall into her trap." "She's married." "Ok, listen to me, do you trust me?" "Until now I did, now I don't." "You do, I trust Koena in the same way." "Now please don't open your mouth for two minutes." "Don't open your mouth..." "Come in partner" " Oh god!" "Welcome to Rocket Sales Corporation." "From today, everything our company earns will have three shares..." "Yours, mine and Koena's." "I see, until morning it was 50-50, by afternoon it's 33-33." "This is how you do business." "You talk about expanding and you keep cutting shares." "Is this how you'll expand?" "!" "Koena will help us expand." "Because of her we'll be able to get business." "How?" "On the phone?" "Correct." " What if something goes wrong?" "Nothing will go wrong partner." "I am with you." "Don't be so frustrated that you get castrated!" "Harpreet, what if something goes wrong?" "What could be more wrong than what's happening here..." "Maybe we'll do something right!" "Ok I better run..." "Good idea?" "Giri I have a request for you..." "Tell me..." "If you ever look at Koena in that way..." "How?" "The way you look at your web sites," "I'll kill you man...seriously!" "Look down...double A" "We will soon need an office, or at least a conference room, for sure." "Tell me quickly, office is about to close." "My husband will be here any minute." "What's so funny?" "You spend all day long glued to those photographs, rest of us have to live with human beings." "Ok listen." "From today no Rocket Sales Corporation work will be discussed in AYS." "I think it's too risky." "Hmm...here's a list of dead clients." "Thanks" "They left because of AYS's bad service." "3 were Nitin's clients." "2 Vibha's 2 Rajesh's, 2 Rumaan's and 3 Taxi's..." "They've been sold PC's...so they'll need good service." "Right?" "Yes" "We'll offer them service for half the price." "How much is AYS's service contract for?" "It's whatever price they can sell for." "Meaning...4-5,000 for one year, for one PC." "We'll offer for 2,500...plus 1 month's extra service free." "It's a good idea, but who'll service them?" "I can't, I have work in the office all day." "In daytime...you can service them in the night." "You don't sleep anyhow." "The idea is good." "But I haven't heard it before." "That's why it's good." "Maintenance and repair will be done in the night, clients will never get an opportunity to see a bad PC." "What if a client recognizes me?" "No one will recognize me." "Until now, even I didn't recognize you." "Me neither" "Do you know, he keeps an account of everything from AYS." "Seriously?" " Yeah...and one day he said we'll pay back everything we've used from the office!" "I hope he doesn't keep accounts of your downloads, you'll have to sell your house." "Yello..." " Hello sir, it's Harpreet." "What now?" "Uh..." "Nothing sir, I have a fever." "If I get day a off..." "Oh, His Highness can't make it to work!" "The company will have to shut down." "All the work was happening because of you." "Teaching me what happens during notice period!" "Where are you going for an interview?" "No sir, I really have a fever." "Yes everyone has it during notice period." "Do what you want, don't waste my time." "Good morning..." "Good morning sir," "Good Morning sir I'm Harpreet Singh Bedi... from Rocket Sales Corporation." "Hello sir..." "I'm Harpreet Singh Bedi from Rocket Sales Corporation." "I'm Harpreet Singh Bedi from Rocket Sales Corporation." "Come in..." "Hello sir, I am Harpreet Singh from Rocket Sales Corporation...sir..." "Oh meaning you provide services at night and during holidays?" "Yes sir at night, during holidays," "Diwali, Dusshehra, Eid, New Year..." "Any day." "Any time." "One phone call and zero down time for any PCs we sell." "Otherwise don't pay us, we'll pay you double the service contract amount." "Thi is the unique Rocket Sales Corporation 24 hour guarantee, only for this month's customers sir." "Can you give it in writing?" "Signed?" "I have seen many companies before, but have never seen this much confidence." "Do you have money to refund?" "That will never happen sir, but if I need to, I'll sell my scooter." "I called your Mr. Wajahat's contact... his friend said to come by after 7 pm." "He's not free before that, neither are we free!" "AYS..." "Good afternoon..." "Mr. Wajahat recommended you highly." "That's all ok, however, aren't you a small company for such a big order?" "It's a small company sir..." "That's why we are hungry." "We know and you know that you don't need us but we need you." "And if we both know, then there's no chance of mistakes." "If something goes wrong, how will you return double the amount?" "Ok, I'll do a double contract with you sir." "Every month, I'll give you the right to the payments Mr. Wajahat makes to us." "If you're happy with us then you can transfer the payment, otherwise your company can keep it." "You are taking a big risk" "Even Spiderman has to take risks." "At least I'm a salesman." "Very well...30 PCs, single order..." "You can fill out the amount." "I'll say it again..." "Only honesty works with me." "That's the only thing I have sir..." "Nothing else." "How long will 30 PC's take?" "30, is too many." "It'll take at least 20 days." "We have to deliver in a week." " What?" "!" "I said yes to them." " What?" "!" "Don't you know any other word?" "He said yes!" "I told them a week...we can't fall behind." "We'll need another person...who can assemble a PC." "I knew that..." " Do you know anyone?" "Of all the trustworthy people, there's only one... who can assemble a PC quickly..." "Who?" " Chotelal..." "But he doesn't even know how to work on one." "He knows how to assemble one..." "He can do it in his sleep!" "If that's the case then, it's time we get another partner into Rocket Sales Corporation." "Are you crazy..." "You'll make a peon a partner?" "Why not?" "If someone can do the work of a director then why can't they be a director?" "I knew something would go wrong." "If you already knew everything then why did you join the company?" "I didn't know it would go so wrong!" "Me?" "Partner in a company?" "No it can't be" "Why not..." "Can you assemble a PC?" " Yes" "Then you can be a partner in this company." "But...my job is to make tea." "If you miss it so much then you can make tea as well." "Then it's fine..." "Will I need to speak in English?" "No..." "You don't need to speak to anyone about anything." "Just assemble PC's with Giri." "Say ok?" "Yes." "Does it involve going to jail?" "We are running a business, why will we go to jail?" "The big businessmen always go to jail." "It's not that big a business!" "What if Mr. Puri gets to know?" "Who'll tell him?" "Only the four of us know about this..." "Sir, I could never have received such respect anywhere." "The day you called me Mr. Mishra, instead of Chotelal, is the day you made me feel big." "Good, good...that means you don't want a share in the company?" "No, when did I say that?" "Partner..." "I said Partner..." "Are you tired?" "You are doing it, right?" " I am, but you are not." "You are a also a partner, you will also get a share." "You bastard..." "Do it...do it" "Good morning AYS...yes sir...connecting" "Good morning partner" "Oh Cup-plate!" "What's going on?" "Where's my coffee?" "Yes sir, I'll pass on your message." "Good afternoon AYS, can l help you...connecting sir." "Good afternoon...yes one minute sir connecting..." "Yello!" "Rocket Who?" "Rocket Sales Corporation?" "I think you have the wrong number." "Yeah right, the number is right but this is AYS computers." "Good afternoon..." "Can I help you?" "Yes Rumaan..." "What is to you if I didn't say AYS?" "Who do you want to speak to?" "One minute." "Good afternoon..." "Wrong number." "Too many wrong numbers these days?" " What?" "You just put one through." "Rocket Sales Corporation?" "The credit card collectors make up any name to get through." "Yes." "And you would definitely transfer them now..." "I want to speak to everyone right now." "Now...no it can't wait till evening." "No right now." "Didn't I say now!" "I don't know how it reached Nitin." "Must have been in a hurry..." "There must be some way our clients can call us and we don't get caught." "Umm...there are 2 connections that were bought but never used." "Mr. Puri probably doesn't remember." "If those numbers are used, we may not have a problem." "If it flashes on the board, I'll know." "Fantastic!" "If you ever cheat on your husband, he's had it." "Will our phone bills be separate?" "I'll have to write it down in the accounts." "He's started again..." " I have to run..." "Someone might get suspicious." "Me too." "Are you coming?" " No, no you carry on..." "Ok..." "I'll see you tomorrow." "HP...!" "Long time..." "HP..." "Where have you been?" "I don't even get to see you...you bloody big salesman..." "Office..." " Office!" "Go get a drink!" "Let me relax a minute..." "Take your time but what will you drink?" "Uh, juice..." "Juice?" "What's happened to you?" "Sai..." " Yeah...what happened?" "Why aren't you dancing?" "Oh-..." "HP meet Sherena..." "Sherena, meet HP" "HP...?" "Come on guys dance please..." "How are you?" "What?" "How are the...uh, computers" "I'm good..." "How are you?" "What?" "!" "Nothing..." "Huh?" "!" "Forget it..." "Nothing!" "What?" "!" "Shall we go in?" "Juice?" "No...no...inside!" "Inside." "Shall we go in?" "Ok" "Oh so you know Appy?" "Yeah, how do you know her?" "College...and you?" "School...hostel...you know, I never thanked you... you sold those computers to us at such a low price, it really helped us you know." "Setting up a new business is quite difficult." "Well you're welcome..." "By the way, how's your business?" "Planning to close it down." "Why?" "Life is not as easy as it seems in college." "Salaries for 2, rent, electricity bills, and clients don't even take phone calls from new companies." "Anyway, they say it takes 2 to 3 years to set up a new business, unless you are doing something wrong." "Anyway how's it going with you?" "Uh, okay..." "I mean ok-ok" "Is your training period over?" "Yes, it was over then." " When?" "Then...after your order." "It was not that big an order ok." "You've no idea how big it was." "Meaning?" "I'll tell you some other time." " No, tell me now." "No, some other time." "You know, you're really nice.... other wise salesmen can be really pushy." "I feel I can really talk to you..." "Right..." "Hey do you want catch a film..." "Sunday?" "I mean, if it's okay with you..." "I don't want to sound like a pushy salesman and all" "No, no, actually...you're my client..." "I'm sorry..." "I shouldn't" "Why?" "Don't clients watch films?" "No, of course they do" "7 PCs were assembled in 2 days..." "target is 30 PCs." "We are going slow." "We are trying..." "You refuse to buy parts from another place." "Your Lalwani Electronics is a very small supplier." "If you want to increase work leave him." "I won't leave him Giri." "When I didn't have money, he gave me credit." "And today when I have a big order, I should leave him?" "Business doesn't run like this." "You're the only one who understands, your way of running a business." "Why are you trying to be a saint in a jungle?" "You'll be ruined and you'll ruin us as well." "Eat a sandwich, nothing will go wrong." "Trust me." "Idli (Steamed cakes)" "I didn't order any, who did?" "Maybe the guy on the other table." " Correct..." "I suspected something the moment this kid started acting like a smart alec..." "And that phone call..." "Where's the complaint box?" "I have a complaint about corruption." "Forget it..." "let's make a phone call..." "Everyone will have Mr. Puri's number on their cell phone..." "Whose shall I use?" "Look, say the word, we'll make a quiet arrangement between us." "What do you say?" "If I say something then you'll say I talk a lot." "And for not talking, it'll cost you...a lot." "How much?" " 10%, of every sale." "Look, if you want a share in our company then like all the partners, you'll have to work for it." "Ok kid...time to wake up, Good morning." "From now on, the situation is such that you can't dictate terms to me." "But I can dictate any terms I want." "No, we can also dictate terms and the terms are these..." "If you ever put on this shameless smirk then, those bogus conveyance vouchers.." "..that you have me fill out for the last two years," "I'll decorate them on a plate and serve them to Mr. Puri along with his morning coffee,." "And...if you call me cup-plate one more time... then if this company remains or doesn't, my share remains or doesn't," "I will take this very idli and shove it down your throat!" "Thanking you, yours faithfully, Mr. Chotelal Mishra." "In front of Rocket Sales Corporation's partners," "I repeat my offer once again..." "Work with us, and share the profits equally with the other partners." "Now there are five of us, so each one will get 20%." "Besides we needed another person in sales." "Why should we give this snake an equal share?" "Because he's an experienced salesman Giri..." "He'll bring in so many orders that 20% won't seem a lot." "Right partner?" "Welcome to Rocket Sales" "Number 1." "We never lie to a client." " Even if we lose the order?" "We can lose the order but not the client's trust." "Number 2." "We believe in service more than sales." "Because the company that provides service, sells more." "What are you talking about?" "Number 3." "Even if the client asks, we never offer a bribe." "Then how do you get an order?" "We don't want such orders." "Number 4." "Whatever date we promise... on that date, at whatever cost, we make the delivery." "Number 5." "We are always available for the client day or night" "He'll drive us crazy with his phone calls." "That's the rule." " So what do think?" "This is what happens in asylums, where patients wear white coats and become doctors." "So wear a coat..." "Best of luck for your first client meeting." "There's something wrong, but it feels right" "The sun is finally in sight" "There's no time to think when you're grabbing at a chance" "There's something wrong, but it feels right" "The sun is finally in sight" "There's no time to think when you're grabbing at a chance" "Turning night into day pinned up by stars" "Embedding the twilight with a hundred moons" "We have no time to offer apologies... for now!" "There's something wrong, but everything's right..." "The sun is finally in sight" "There's no time to think when you're grabbing at a chance" "There's something wrong, but it feels right" "The sun is finally in sight" "There's no time to think when you're grabbing at a chance" "Holding our breath forever" "We were searching for something true" "We caught a light and held on to it" "There's something wrong, but everything's right" "The sun is finally in sight" "There's no time to think when you're grabbing at a chance" "There's something wrong, but everything's right" "The sun is finally in sight" "There's no time to think when you're grabbing at a chance" "Spinning like glistening tops in a race against sanity" "We travel along untravelled paths leaving no trail behind" "The faster we run," "The faster we run, the faster desire catches up" "There's something wrong, but everything's right" "The sun is finally in sight" "There's no time to think when you're grabbing at a chance" "There's something wrong, but everything's right" "The sun is finally in sight" "MT's order has also gone to Rocket Sales Corporation." "And this is not the first order that was going to be ours and ended up with them." "Good huh?" "And all of you, the so called best sales team has lost out for the second time in two months, against this insignificant company." "What's going on?" "What does this Rocket, or whatever it is, do to whisk away the clients from right under your..." "What the shit is happening here?" "!" "What is this bloody company?" "What are they doing?" "How much are they bribing that, at the very last moment the order ends up with them?" "Who can tell me here?" "You must have already applied with them..." "Who are these people?" "When MT was giving them the order, were you sleeping?" "How did your order go to them?" "Sir, we don't know a lot but at the last moment they offered the client a terrific scheme." "What scheme?" "Which scheme?" "This is India, when did orders come from schemes?" "Sir, my clients are always giving examples of their services." "These guys service computers even at night!" "What rubbish!" "Sir, they keep their quotes so low that, one of my clients called me a thief to my face." "How low?" "Sir the simple PC that we sell for 32,000 they offer it for 26,000 with two years free service, including nights services." "So, if they have priced their PC at this rate it means, they are only earning 2,200 while we make 6,000." "What are they doing?" "Don't know sir..." "Where is their office?" "How's it possible that they are taking away orders from right under your noses, and besides this pamphlet and phone number, no one knows anything about them." "Something is very wrong." "Nitin One week...get the history and geography of this Rocket Sales Corporation!" "Get out!" "You stay!" "The post for the Vice President Sales is vacant." "I want a very useful person there." "Show me in a week how useful you are, and move in." "Otherwise, leave." "There are other useful people here." "Growth will not cease, whether a person stays or leaves." "Enough." "I think it's over." "Before Puri catches us, we should go apologize." "One minute, let me think." "Don't panic," "Panic?" "Do you know what kind of person Puri is?" "If he catches us, he will ruin our careers." "No other company will hire us." "No Giri, at the moment, he's only suspicious." "If my husband finds out..." "If none of us tell him, how will he find out?" "Don't under estimate him." "Didn't you see how quickly he calculated the profit?" "Yeah and all the client bills have our address printed on them." "So what?" "It's just an address." "Mine..." "I told you we should have used a post box number." "Sure...those who are not suspicious also become suspicious." "He will know it eventually, one of us will tell him." "Who?" "The snake has woken up." "What happened?" "Look boss, whatever happened between us, please don't take it personally." "I talk nonsense most of the time," "I had nothing against you." "We are ok boss, right?" "It's strange, for the first time in my career people are scared of me and I am not happy." "When I first started in this business, I was just like you." "The first few times, I also didn't take any bribes." "But then I lost my first promotion, soon followed by a second one." "Everyone around me kept receiving commissions." "Eventually, I also..." "Thanks to you, after many years I felt the need to be my own boss." "But today, Puri put me in my place, in a minute." "If you sell out once, everyone thinks you have sold out, forever... whether it's your boss or partners." "I will never tell Puri, I've said what I had to." "The rest...you think about it." "Thought about it..." "Giri" "Yes" " Move somewhere else for a few days." "But where will we keep all the stuff?" "When the customers call, someone has to pick up..." "Right?" "Yes, someone has to do it..." "I have a friend" " She knows too?" "What kind of a secret is this, the entire world knows?" "!" "She doesn't know yet, but I'll have to tell her someday." "You could also be intelligent, frankly, I didn't think so..." "Thanks huh..." " Very smart...huh?" "'l will have to ask the company.'" "I had taken your order for the company..." "But supplied it yourself instead?" "They were throwing rockets at me!" "Wow!" "What an excuse...'they were throwing rockets at me!" "'" "What would you do in my place?" "If I were in your place...your boss would be dead." "What a jerk!" "Kiss me quickly before I get angry." "So, are we on?" "Yeah, obviously." "I love you so use me." "What can I do..." "When do you want to start?" "Uh, Actually they are waiting out side... the supplies are in the van, and the van needs to be returned..." "Is the company named after you or you're named after the company?" "Can't you do things slowly?" "Rocket Sales Corporation..." "Say Rocket Sales Corporation..." "May I help you?" "Rocket Sales Corporation, may I help you?" "Rocket Sales Corpo-!" "Rocket Sales here, yup?" "Will you talk to clients like that?" "Just say Rocket Sales Corporation, may I help you?" "Oh so what!" "See how nice this is..." "Rocket Sales, Hi!" "Clients will think they've called a slimming center!" "Ok?" "You want to make it formal?" "Ok no problem" " Sure?" "What?" "!" "Nothing..." "Then why are you giving me these stares?" "Well at least we have a separate number now." "In a few days, we will give these new numbers out to the clients." "Thank god!" "I was on pins and needles." "Not bad huh..." "Rocket Sales Corporation, may I help you?" "Ah...yes...yes I want to order some PCs..." "Transferring sir" " Where is your offi..." "Sherena, take this call." "It's Puri, speak to him." "What do I know?" "Talk about anything..." "Rocket Sales Corporation, may I help you?" "Ah yes, this is Sunil Puri, MD of AYS Computers." "I would like to speak to your MD please" "Shit!" " Hello...?" "He is not in office sir." "I will give him your message." "Okay...ok." "By the way, where exactly is your office?" "Second floor sir, thank you for calling" "For now, it's only a phone call, next time he'll go for our throat." "He knows." "I'm telling he knows everything." "If he'd known, we wouldn't be here chatting, we would be in jail." "In jail?" "It's not that easy to go to jail." "You can't make a booking on the internet, and send someone." "Nothing will happen." "What if he calls again?" "Just say...the CEO is out sick." "No." "No, tell him, he's out of town." "Why town?" "Say he's out of the country!" "If he wants to meet me, then I'll meet him." "Do you think it's a joke?" "Think it's a joke?" "You told me this didn't involve going to jail...didn't you?" "You've gotten everyone in a fix...talking like a big shot." "Look." "He wants to meet the MD of Rocket Sales Corporation." "There must be something on his mind." "And until I meet him, we won't know what it is." "What will we gain by finding out what's on his mind?" "Worry about us." "I am worried about us." "His business is failing, and he'll do anything to save it." "Before he does something, we should know what he'll do." "But how will you meet him?" "The same way Porus met Alexander." "A king meets another king." "Face to face." "Call him." "Sir, Rocket Sales Corporation's MD is on the line for you." "He was bound to call." "Transfer it..." "Transferring sir" "Ok all set?" "1...2..." "You should have counted till 3." "I wouldn't have stayed alive till 3!" "Hello, Mr." " Singh" "Mr. Singh, thank you for calling back, this is Sunil Puri here." "We haven't met but I'm sure you must have heard my name." "No, not really..." "Uh, I'm the MD of AYS Computers" "Oh yes, of course of course, sorry boss, How are you?" "Good, very good, very good...uh, congratulations boss, your business is doing well...very well, for a small company." "Thank you" "So, what are your future plans?" "The future has all the plans, the past has only...empty cans" "You have a nice sense of humour." "My sense of honour is not bad either." "Of course, of course...so tell me, what are your plans?" "Just keep watching..." "I have been watching...but forget about the present, and let's look far into the future." " Meaning?" "Meaning boss...you know and I know that this computer assembly business is a jungle." "That it is." "And since the multinationals have arrived, the jungle has only become smaller," "and in one small jungle 2 lions can't survive." "Are you leaving this business?" "You can joke well..." "But can we talk seriously?" "Instead of competing with each other, let's work together." "How?" "I'll buy out your company." "This is what you call working together?" "See, why talk like you're a wet noodle, when your name is Rocket." "What's your little company's value?" "Value is in the name, sell the name. 30, 40 lakh?" "50 lakh?" "Ok take 55 lakh and enjoy yourself." "Leave your business with people with experience." "Yes, what you're saying is correct." "Let's work together..." "I'll buy you out." "You, will buy my company?" "Why not..." "You...you will buy me out?" "Why?" "Don't you want to work together anymore?" "Look boss, every person has two basic qualities, to go up and to go down." "And whichever quality wins will determine how he'll win life, right?" "Ok take 60 lakh, you won't get another chance like this." "Ok, I'll ask my colleagues and let you know." "What happened?" "Everyone likes to keep servants, he may also love and care for them." "But you're the first person I've met who consults business with them." "Look, you won't get this offer a second time." "I'm giving you an offer of a lifetime." "Oh, so you sell phone cards as well?" "Look, understand this now." "You won't be in a position to understand things later." "Mr. Puri, in business the one who calls the other first, is not in position to threaten." "Look...even my father never spoke to me like this." "For the last time, sell me the company, take the money or you will regret later!" "Ok do one thing..." " What?" "Put the phone down, I am very busy." "Besides you have phone cards to sell." "Right?" "Bastard..." "I'll see you!" "If you could see, you would have seen by now." "What have you done?" "What?" "This is our company not used furniture!" "We are owners, not employees." "This company is not for sale and no one can buy it." "Whoever it may be!" "We sent you to the lion's den to negotiate and you shoved your hand down the lion's mouth." "I wasn't afraid to put my hand into the lion's pocket, then why would I be afraid to put it into his mouth!" "Look boss, before Puri goes in deeper, let's take his money and leave." "You go deeper!" "If he buys the company won't he know, who he's buying from." "Even if Puri wants the company, we can't sell it." "But we can leave his company." "We have hands, brains, clients." "What else do we need?" "I think it's time to sacrifice our monthly pay, and concentrate on our business full time." "Besides it's becoming difficult to manage two jobs!" "I'm okay..." "So tomorrow morning, resignations?" "Hello?" "Hello, is this Rocket Sales corporation?" "Yes sir, can I help you?" "Yes you can..." "I wanted to buy a few PCs," "I hope I didn't call to late." "No, no sir, you're not late at all...we are open 24 hours sir" "Ok... the number I have called on, is it yours?" "Right sir" "Is this your office number?" "Right sir, in 2 days we'll have a new 24 hours helpline." "Just 2 days." "Really?" "You...you sell PCs right?" "Not just sell, we service them as well." "We build relationships sir," "We have the best service in India." "Ok...so how big is your company?" "How many people?" "We are a small sir, but very dedicated team sir." "Sir please meet us personally some day." "Yes I really want to meet you, who is the owner of this company?" "Sir, we are all owners." "We have no employees, only partners." "Really?" "So sir, when do you want to meet executives...personally?" "Right now" "So..." "let's meet then." "What were you thinking?" "You chickens can fool Sunil Puri and that too with this zero brain!" "You were going to become the Vice-President anyway." "You could have told me everything?" "What was the problem?" "You won't understand." "So explain it to me...explain it!" "I can understand things..." "Before I send you to jail, try and explain it to me." "Look, everything that's happened..." "I started it." "So whatever you have to say, speak to me." "Oh so Mr. Zero has leadership qualities!" "Fine I'll only speak to you." "How long has this been going on?" "And how many orders have you stolen from here?" "We have not touched any of your clients." "And all the facilities that we've used in your company, this is the account, which we were going to reimburse anyway." "Here is the cheque." "You want to give me a cheque!" "Things are going to go badly for you... and so that others don't face the same bad fate," "I will have to make it worse for you." "Take a bath." "No, it's ok." "Take a bath, maybe your sins will wash away." "Mine will never!" "Whatever happens, I'll deal with it." "You don't need to worry about it." "You should have left the job right away..." "I have looked after you for 21 years, I would have done it for more..." "Why did you have to do a thief's work?" "!" "You never taught me to how to do a thief's work, if you'd taught me..." "I wouldn't have to become a thief today." "You accept and acknowledge that after signing this agreement the trademark 'Rocket' and 'Rocket Sales Corporation', are now a property of AYS computers in perpetuity worldwide." "Till you keep to this and the other commitments in this contract," "AYS Computers will not file a legal case to prosecute you for forgery, cheating, fraud and embezzlement." "In addition, you accept and acknowledge that you will not engage in the computer business formally or informally either as a company or as an employee for a period of three years..." "One sec, what is this rubbish?" "!" "You want him to sign that he won't work in the computer sales business for three years!" "No business, nor a job?" "Yes, that's good, isn't it?" "Let's go, we'll think of something." "What are you doing?" "I told you we'll think of something." "It's not just me Sai, there are 4 other people." "They trusted me." "They can, at least, start their careers again." "So the Rocket's fallen?" "Ok then...from 4 o' clock today your Rocket Sales Corporation is mine and all your clients...are also mine!" "Congratulations." "You have sold your company!" "See, everyone has a quality to go up and to go down." "Once I humbly requested you for this name." "And today, you're on your knees like a beggar... selling me this very brand name." "What have you learned?" "What have you learned kid?" "...that a man should stay in his place." "Right?" "Otherwise the fool will never belong anywhere." "You don't have it in you..." "You are a zero!" "Get out!" "Oh...at least take your full and final compensation." "Don't ever become a businessman, you'll fail again!" "Yes sir...the big news..." "is here sir...yes." "Now that two big brands have merged, the investors will definitely come." "Let me wrap up and hide away my dreams" "Let me fold up and bury my desires deep" "The heart cannot be a slave" "Let the wings be touched by a breeze" "Let it soar, let it soar" "Let it feel the breeze," "Let it wake up to possibilities." "Let the wings be touched by a breeze" "What is this I am hearing boss, you sold your company?" "Yes sir..." "I didn't think you were the type Harpreet..." "Are you sure you have made the right decision?" "Yes sir..." "Like a kite, the heart's spinning through a million wants" "Let it go, I'll show what I'm destined for" "Let me fall, I'll dust myself up" "If you don't fade, how will you shine" "Let me soar!" "Let me soar!" "Let it feel the breeze," "Let it wake up to possibilities." "Let the wings be touched by a breeze" "Sir my name is Rajess Das, new Sales Manager of AYS" "Rocket Sales Corporation..." "As you know Rocket Sales Corporation is now part of AYS, so I dropped by for an introduction." "Sir, why don't we continue this, somewhere else...over lunch?" "Let me soar!" "Let it feel the breeze," "Let it feel the breeze," "Let it wake up to possibilities." "Let the wings be touched by a breeze" "What's going on?" "Nothing sir..." "We are meeting their clients one by one." "Meetings are ok, but when are you getting their orders?" "These clients have...strange expectations sir!" "They ask for all sorts of things..." "These Rocket's clients are used to some other type of service.." "But we'll handle it sir..." "This is Kumar, Giri's replacement." "Service will happen but help the sales team!" "That's the real job." "Of course sir" "Hi" " Hi..." "Sir brands keep coming and going..." "But please listen to me sir..." "Sir, Wajahat's order is not going to come..." "Some of Rocket's other clients are not looking too hopeful either!" "Sir, we haven't really benefited from Rocket Corporation's clients." "We haven't gained anything from this buy out." "In fact, the liabilities have gone up..." "Salaries of new engineers apart." "Sir, Rajesh said that Rocket Sales was about to receive a big order from Inamdar's company." "If we get that, then I can manage the remaining accounts." "Look Inamdar, you are one of us." "I need this order." "Whatever has to be done, I'll do it." "Will you give us service?" "Service is my guarantee, You've known me for a long time." "It's a new team but the company is the same." "Yes, the company is the same." "You still don't understand." "You've bought Rocket Sales Corporation's name, but you've let it's people go...you've been foolish..." "Look, let bygones be bygones." "Let's start a new relationship." "I'm canceling all future orders." "And as far as I'm aware, rest of the Rocket Sales' clients have either done the same, or are about to." "Mr. Puri there was a day when your ways had changed the geography of this business." "Don't take it badly, but your way is now history." "Good Day!" "Who are you..." "Who are you!" "Who are you?" "!" " Sir" "What are you made of?" "What is it with which you're fooling everyone?" "What is it?" "Who do you think you are to sell for so little?" "One's back breaks, but still one doesn't make profit." "Sold your company...who won?" "You're on the street!" "I've been selling computers for 10 years, 10 years before that fax and 5 years before that, electronic typewriters." "I have this business running in my blood." "But I made one mistake..." "The person I should have made salesman of the year," "I kicked him out and made him a competitor." "No problem, I made a mistake..." "I had fun." "Now I'll straighten it out." "Come, I'll give you your job back." "You used to tell me that every person has a quality to go up and also to go down." "And the road..." "I took the road going down because you never left me a choice." "I didn't know anything sir." "But I learnt by doing, in business there are no tricks, no schemes, and no magic." "Just one thing - people!" "The one's that work with you, one's that your customers." "But you never saw them as people, you saw them as numbers." "Who achieved which number, who broke a target by how much..." "But I never really understood numbers." "I always saw people." "Who's happy..." "Who's sad..." "Who does good work..." "Who enjoys what work... do you know what the amazing this is, when people are happy, numbers increase on their own." "Because business is not numbers, business is people." "Only people." "You took my company...no problem." "It came from your company and it went back into your company." "No problem." "But what I have learned, you can't take." "And with that I can build 10 more companies, and I will one day." "But what will you do sir?" "All that you know has become zero." "Who will you put a zero next to sir?" "All I wanted was a chance in your company." "You didn't give me that..." "And the way you're giving it to me..." "I don't want it." "Wish me best of luck sir." "I couldn't be like you, but I became a man." "I'll see you on the field!" "I have never seen a bigger zero than you." "And it ended up in such a place that the company changed." "And when I removed it, the customers changed." "My people couldn't handle your customers," "I have brains to understand that." "And a young kid has defeated me, I can accept that too." "Do you have one rupee?" "Do you have...one rupee?" "Here, I'm returning your company." "I couldn't digest it." "You want me to spell it out..." "You won, I lost." "When blood and sweat are printed on paper together, table becomes a bed, and office a home," "hunger and thirst are forgotten and children are neglected... only then a company is made." "And that is not given away as alms, especially not to a man like me." "And a man like me never takes it." "I'm leaving you with your life's biggest lesson." "And I've never even given my father anything for free." "The thing you're doing..." "I don't know if it's business or not but never become a businessman, you'll fail again." "I'll see you on the field." "I'll see you on the field" "Giri, the delivery is in 4 days." "Mr. Mishra can you please follow up on that delivery" "Yes..." "Can I speak to Mr. Saxena please?" "Yes, I'll hold ma'am..." "Good job Nitin!" "Yes sir...this is Nitin from Rocket Sales..." "Hi Rocket Sales Corporation, yes sir..."
