Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong woke up the dreamer with a single sentence. At this time, everyone realized that the exhibits in the home appliance exhibition area were indeed not powered.

"I really didn't notice it before. Our home appliance exhibition area really has no power supply!" One person said.

"This organizer is also true. We are the seller of electrical appliances, how can we not give electricity!" Another person said.

"I think it does not affect our participation in the exhibition. Foreign businessmen come to watch the product introduction and competition." The third person said.

"That's right. You see there are several motorcycles in the motorcycle exhibition area. Don't they have no oil? They are all driven."

Li Weidong waved his hand and said, "Seniors, I don't think so, our household appliances are different from motorcycles.

The motorcycle has to run to know whether it is good or not. There is not so much space in the Canton Fair venue to test the motorcycle. Naturally, there is no need to refuel the motorcycle. But household appliances are different. After being powered on, they can work without any additional space. "

Li Weidong said, looked at one of them, and said, "Brother Zhang, if the refrigerator in your factory is turned on, it can be cooled. When you put a bottle of water in it, it will definitely freeze. If there are foreign businessmen If you pass by, show the frozen bottle of water to a foreign businessman, won't you be able to prove the freezing effect of your refrigerator!"

Li Weidong looked at the other person again, and continued: "Brother Liu, after the TV in your factory is powered on, a TV program will be put on. When the foreign businessmen see it, your color TV screen is so clear and the signal reception is so good. Maybe I'll just place an order directly. Even if it attracts a group of people to stop and watch the fun, isn't it just a personal show!"

Li Weidong looked at the third person again: "Brother Li, after the air conditioner in your factory is powered on, it will directly adjust to a cooling mode and blow cold air outside. It is still a little hot in our hall, and foreign businessmen will pass by us by then. When I was in the exhibition area, I felt very cool, doesn't it seem that your factory's air conditioner has a good cooling effect!"

Li Weidong touted it all, and everyone nodded, thinking that what Li Weidong said was very reasonable.

The home appliance companies that can come to the Canton Fair must all represent the top domestic level in their respective fields. The refrigerators of brands such as Snowflake and Haier are indeed better than those of miscellaneous brands; the TV of Panda is indeed relatively clear; Chunlan The cooling effect of the air conditioner is really the first in China.

Li Weidong praised their good products. While these exhibitors are very useful, he also feels that these praises are well deserved.

Li Weidong went on to say: "Since the quality of our household appliances is so good, we should put in a movie and show our advantages to foreign businessmen, and foreign businessmen can only place orders when they see the advantages of the products.

There is a saying that hearing is false, seeing is believing, and foreign businessmen may not believe it if they only show the product parameters to other people.

Let’s compare our hearts to our hearts, let’s go shopping, listen to the seller’s introduction, or see what the spot looks like? Even if you buy a piece of clothes or a pair of shoes, don't you have to try it first before you buy it? It is impossible to just look at the material of the clothes, just buy what size the shoes are!

In our home appliance exhibition area, there is no power supply, so foreign businessmen cannot try our products, and the advantages of our products cannot be directly displayed to foreign businessmen, which will definitely affect product sales.

So I think, we should go to the organizer and ask them to pull a few wires over, install a power outlet, and make all the exhibits here powered on! "

"I think what Xiao Li said makes sense. After the electricity is turned on, we can indeed better display our products." Lao Liu, who sells TVs, said.

"Then let's go to the organizer and ask them to pull a few wires over, and then install the power socket?" Lao Li, who sold the air conditioner, said.

"Will it be more troublesome to pull the wires?" The one who was talking was the old Zhang who sold the refrigerator.

"Isn't it just a few wires,

What trouble! " Lao Liu said.

Lao Zhang explained slowly: "I used to be an electrician, so I know a little bit. For example, in our home appliance exhibition area, there are so many household appliances. If they are turned on at the same time, it will consume a lot of electricity."

"For such a big Canton Fair, do you still care about the electricity? Lao Zhang, can't you see that you are quite economical!" Lao Liu said.

"This has nothing to do with saving, what I mean is that with so many household appliances using electricity at the same time, the amount of electricity required cannot be carried by just pulling a few wires, which requires professionals in the power sector to wire. , and also have to install power distribution equipment." Lao Zhang answered.

After Lao Zhang explained this, Li Weidong suddenly understood why there was no electricity in the home appliance exhibition area.

The exhibition areas of the Canton Fair are all temporarily set up. After the Canton Fair ends, the exhibition areas will be removed immediately.

From the perspective of the organizer, it is obviously a very troublesome thing to specifically invite the power department to wire and install power distribution equipment, which not only costs money, but also increases a lot of workload.

And after the exhibition, these power distribution equipments have to be removed, and professional people have to be hired to do it, which adds another job.

In comparison, it is much easier to move a few showcases, place a few shelves, and install a few tables. It is also easy to withdraw after the exhibition is over. Find someone strong enough to move out in no time.

What's more, the home appliance exhibitors have not actively asked for power supply. In this case, the organizers also have the idea that more is worse than less. They will not provide power on their own initiative, and they can also reduce their workload.

Such a situation was normal in the 1980s, after all, people in that era had no sense of service at all.

The organizers of the exhibition do not feel that their job is to serve exhibitors and foreign guests, and of course they will not take the initiative to provide convenience for exhibitors.

As for serving foreign guests, the reason is more for fear of offending foreign guests, rather than a real sense of service.

After thinking about this, Li Weidong said, "It's really troublesome to find professionals to lay out the wires and install the power distribution equipment, but it's not us, but the organizer of the Canton Fair! Since it's troublesome It's someone else, so what should we worry about?

Moreover, the electrification of the exhibition area is related to whether we can get a few more orders from foreign businessmen. For us, orders are a real benefit. Just to get a few more orders, it is also worthwhile for us to go to the organizer and ask them to give The exhibition area is electrified. What do you think? "

Li Weidong's meaning is very simple, pass the trouble to others and keep the benefits to himself, in short, a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.

Everyone is not a fool, they understand Li Weidong's meaning in seconds.

It is indeed very troublesome to install power supply equipment to supply power to the exhibition area, but it is others who are troublesome, so what does it matter?

After the exhibition area has electricity, the one who benefits is himself. Since it is good for him, why not do it.

On the matter of power supply, everyone reached an agreement, and Lao Zhang even said: "Then let's send a representative to find the person in charge of the exhibition hall and let the exhibition hall supply power to our exhibition area?"

Li Weidong objected: "It's our business to power on the exhibition area, so I suggest that we go to the person in charge of the exhibition hall together. After all, there are many people and more power!"

Li Weidong's method is indeed better than sending a representative. First, the more people who go there, the more pressure it can put on the person in charge of the exhibition hall.

The second reason is that the law does not blame the public, and everyone goes together, so there is no need to worry about the occurrence of a gunshot.

As a result, more than a dozen exhibitors in the home appliance exhibition area rushed to find the person in charge of the exhibition and asked to supply power to the home appliance exhibition area.

Things are as Li Weidong expected, there are many people and pressure!

Seeing so many people coming, the person in charge of the exhibition hall did not dare to neglect.

And they are all well-known brands, such as Panda TV, Chunlan Air Conditioner, Snowflake Refrigerator, these are all big brands! After all, the reputation of the brand is there, they have demands, and they always have to be resolved.

Although supplying power to the home appliance exhibition area is a very troublesome thing, it will cost money and increase the workload, but in the face of united home appliance exhibitors, the person in charge of the exhibition hall has to bite the bullet and agree.

...

Li Weidong came to the home appliance exhibition area with several plastic bags. There are fish and meat that Li Weidong just bought from the vegetable market. Li Weidong decided to fry fish and meat on the spot to sell to foreigners.

"This fresh fish is not suitable to be placed outside, and the weather is quite hot, and it may become ugly after a long time!"

Thinking of this, Li Weidong looked at the row of refrigerators, all of which were already powered on.

"No need for nothing! It's already connected to the power anyway, don't waste it."

I saw Li Weidong took out a small bag of cut fish from the plastic bag and stuffed it directly into a refrigerator.

"Xiao Li, what are you doing? What are you stuffing into my refrigerator?" Lao Zhang, who sold the refrigerator, asked.

"It's nothing, just a few fish." Li Weidong replied.

"Why put the fish in my refrigerator?" Lao Zhang asked.

"Not only fish, but also meat!" Li Weidong said, took out a bag of pork belly and stuffed it into the refrigerator.

"What are you doing?" Lao Zhang asked in confusion.

Li Weidong immediately explained: "Brother Zhang, what do you think is in the refrigerator? Isn't it just for fish and meat! You put two bottles of water in, it seems too fake, put fish and meat in, like this Only then can it appear real. When foreign businessmen come, you open the refrigerator and show them the fish and meat. They are still very fresh. This also shows that your refrigerators are well preserved!”

"It makes sense." Lao Zhang nodded, and then said, "But our refrigerator doesn't seem to have the function of preservation!"

"You can brag to foreign businessmen! Just say that your refrigerator has this function." Li Weidong said, and took out another bag of potatoes cut into strips.

"Is this a potato? Put it in too?" Lao Zhang asked.

"Potatoes can't be put in the refrigerator, it's easy to oxidize if you put them in!" Li Weidong replied.

"Then why did you bring the potatoes? You should buy something that can be put in the refrigerator, such as spinach, celery and the like." Old Zhang said solemnly.

"Accidentally, I bought the wrong one." Li Weidong smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll fry these potatoes in a while."

"Fried potatoes? Is it delicious?" Old Zhang questioned.

"I don't think it tastes good either, but foreigners love it." Li Weidong said, carrying a bag of potato chips, and walked towards his little corner.
