Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chen Tingjiang adjusted the mask on his face to make sure it could cover most of his face, and then walked out of the hospital door.

With Chen Tingjiang's level, he would definitely be surrounded by people everywhere he went. If he was hospitalized, he would have to have at least one reinforcement company to visit him with gifts.

However, this time, Chen Tingjiang deliberately kept a low profile, mainly because he went to the hospital with hemorrhoids.

After all, diseases near chrysanthemums are unspeakable, and the person concerned feels embarrassed, and it would not be nice to spread the word.

Just imagine, when a reinforcement company comes to visit a patient, he will always ask about his condition. Will Chen Tingjiang be asked to introduce the condition of his chrysanthemum?

Would it be more embarrassing if someone brought a banana as a gift?

Leaders like Chen Tingjiang still have to retain some dignity, so when Chen Tingjiang entered the hospital this time, he kept a low profile as much as possible and did not notify anyone else except his family, secretary and driver.

Chen Tingjiang walked out of the hospital gate, and the Audi 80 was already parked at the door.

The driver, Master Lin, immediately stepped forward, helped Chen Tingjiang to the front of the car, then opened the door and helped Chen Tingjiang into the car.

Chen Tingjiang did not dare to sit down directly. His husband pressed one side of his butt against the seat, moved his body slowly, then turned sideways and carefully sat down.

In Chen Tingjiang's current situation, it might be better to lie down, but as a leader, he has to maintain his image, so even if his butt hurts, he must try his best to maintain a posture of standing like a loose ball and sitting like a clock.

However, what Chen Tingjiang didn't expect was that the seats in the car today had a cool feeling. After sitting on them, his whole buttocks felt cool, and even the hemorrhoid wounds felt much refreshed.

"It's so comfortable!" Chen Tingjiang discovered that there was an extra set of cushions on the original leather seat.

Chen Tingjiang touched the seat cushion with his hand. It was cool and soft and felt good to the touch. Moreover, the seat cushion was woven and should be more breathable.

Chen Tingjiang nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the driver Xiao Lin was getting better and better at doing things. He knew that his butt was not suitable for sitting on a leather seat, so he found this breathable seat cushion.

"Xiao Lin, this set of cushions is a good replacement." Chen Tingjiang praised it.

"Are you comfortable sitting on it? This is not an ordinary seat cushion. This is a special linen seat cushion for cars. It is woven with high-tech flax fiber and wool, and it requires an imported knitting machine to make it.

It's like this." Master Lin replied.

Ordinary people don't understand flax fiber, so Master Lin simply added the word "high technology" to make it appear extraordinary. When he mentioned wool and imported knitting machines, the quality of the cushions immediately went up.

"There is wool inside, no wonder it feels soft to the touch." Chen Tingjiang continued: "Xiao Lin, thank you for your hard work. You even made this cushion specially for me."

"No matter what the trouble is, it's all my responsibility." Master Lin paused and then said: "Speaking of this car seat cushion, it is also thanks to a friend of mine. Their factory specializes in producing this kind of car seat cushion.

When I came to pick you up, I happened to meet him in our hall, and then I asked him for a set of car seat cushions."

"Oh, are you coming?" Chen Tingjiang said immediately: "Although we are your friends, we can't ask for other people's things for nothing. Later, if you ask how much this cushion costs, we have to give the money to them."

"You don't know something. This car seat cushion is not sold at all. This car seat cushion is used for export to earn foreign exchange." Master Lin explained.

"Is it a foreign trade product?" Chen Tingjiang touched the cushion again and praised: "This feel, this workmanship, and this material should also be a foreign trade product."

Master Lin continued: "This kind of car seat cushion is a new product. My friend originally planned to take this car seat cushion to sign up for this year's Canton Fair, but he failed and was kicked off by the hall. He gave me the seat cushion.

When he was there, he wanted my help to see if I could help him through a back door and give his factory a place to participate in the Canton Fair."

Master Lin didn't hide it, he directly stated Li Weidong's participation in the Canton Fair openly, and also deliberately said that Li Weidong found him through the back door, which made him appear to be very candid.

Leaders like subordinates who are honest with themselves and hypocritical with others.

Chen Tingjiang also knew that Master Lin was so frank that he was actually helping Li Weidong through the back door.

Since Master Lin had clearly said that he had come through the back door, Chen Tingjiang certainly couldn't just sit idly by and ignore it.

As a leader, sometimes you need to help your subordinates do something, so as to increase their loyalty and make them work for you wholeheartedly.

To put it another way, the reason why these subordinates are willing to follow the leader is because the leader has power and can help solve the problem! If the leader does not help with anything, then who among the subordinates will give their all to the leader?

Serve.

The Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has hundreds of quotas for participating in the Canton Fair every year. It doesn’t matter if there are more or less.

And this car seat cushion looks really good, at least it can make Chen Tingjiang's butt much more comfortable.

So Chen Tingjiang said: "We can't always rely on selling coal, iron ore and oil to earn foreign exchange. International exhibitions such as the Canton Fair should also give more opportunities to industrial products. Well, you can go there after you go back

Please pass a message to me and say that this car seat cushion will be given a quota to participate in the Canton Fair!"

…

Obtaining a place to participate in the Canton Fair in this way was not in Li Weidong's plan at all.

Meeting Master Lin was an unexpected surprise, but the result was good. Li Weidong no longer had to think about how to go to the scene to meet him.

In his previous life, Li Weidong participated in the Canton Fair more than once, but the Canton Fair at that time was much larger, with two to three hundred companies participating in one prefecture-level city.

In the Canton Fair in the 1980s, the venue was still the Liuhua Road Exhibition Hall. Although it was expanded in 1986, it was completely different from the international convention and exhibition center of later generations.

It was only in 1994 that the Canton Fair began to adopt the plan of "provincial and municipal groups, chambers of commerce to organize pavilions, combination of pavilions and groups, and industry exhibitions" to organize exhibitions. That is to say, in addition to industry pavilions, each province and city can also set up an independent exhibition area.

Hold an exhibition.

This method has great flexibility. For example, some companies with strong professionalism, such as the machinery field, chemical industry, and technology field, have their own special exhibition areas. The same industry comes together to create a group effect, and procurement

Merchants no longer need to wander around, they can purchase what they need in one place.

Some products or daily necessities with local characteristics are exhibited in exhibition areas established by each province and city, which can create differences, highlight the different cultural characteristics of various places, and give buyers more choices.

In the 1980s, the Canton Fair still adopted a simple industry exhibition model. Exhibits from the same industry would be put together. Those selling silk were placed in the silk exhibition area, those selling porcelain were placed in the porcelain exhibition area, and those selling tea were placed in the tea area.

The exhibition area is not very large. Basically, a company can only display one or two exhibits.

…

Li Weidong brought Wang Kaiping to the Canton Fair. Although the Canton Fair had not yet started and the venue was being decorated, many foreigners could already be seen around the venue.

Li Weidong has long been accustomed to foreigners, but Wang Kaiping has never seen much of the world. Every foreigner he sees is strange, especially a foreign woman wearing a sleeveless dress with half of her back exposed.

It made Wang Kaiping stare at it for several minutes, almost drooling.

In the 1980s, Chinese people still tended to dress conservatively, especially in small northern cities like Qinghe. If a lesbian wore a sleeveless short dress, it would be immoral.

"Wipe your saliva!" Li Weidong sighed softly and said jokingly: "I really regret bringing you to the Canton Fair! Looking at your virtue, it's as if you have never seen a woman before."

Wang Kaiping smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Your sister-in-law is very strict, and the calendars at home are not allowed to belong to female celebrities."

"I just saw someone setting up a stall on the roadside selling gorgeous clothes. There were beauties in swimsuits on the calendar. When I went back later, I bought a set. I won't do it again for twelve months, so you can peek in the office.

." Li Weidong said with a smile.

The two chatted and laughed and walked into the Canton Fair venue.

"This place is so big!" Wang Kaiping looked around and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What's this? I don't think it's big enough!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

From the perspective of future generations, the Liuhua Road Exhibition Hall is indeed very small. In the future, many convention and exhibition centers in third-tier cities will be several times larger than this one.

Inside the venue, staff were setting up exhibits, and Li Weidong also visited the exhibition in advance.

Each exhibition area occupies a small area. The exhibition area is arranged more like a department store counter, with rows of shelves holding various exhibits.

Tea, silk, and ceramics are all relatively large exhibition areas. In addition to the few units designated by the Ministry of Foreign Trade to participate in the exhibition, various provinces have also brought companies of this type.

On the tea counter, a dazzling array of tea jars are arranged like a small Great Wall; in the silk production area, various silks and satins are folded into squares and neatly arranged together; in the ceramics exhibition area, exquisite porcelain is also placed in a very orderly manner.

Bowls and plates are placed in the front, and vase ornaments are placed in the back.

"In front is the leather clothing exhibition area, and in front is the clothing exhibition area. You should be able to see our products!" Wang Kaiping said.

The clothing factory had made leather jackets, so the two of them naturally looked down on those rustic leather jackets, so they went straight to the clothing exhibition area, where they were greeted by even more rustic clothes.

Li Weidong looked at the patterns on the clothes and couldn't help but complain: "Red flowers and green leaves make foreigners think they are stupid ladies!"

Wang Kaiping walked around the clothing area and couldn't find the car seat cushion.

"Director, there are no cushions for us!" Wang Kaiping said.

"Although we are a clothing factory, the products we bring to the exhibition are not clothing, so naturally we can't find them here. Our car seat cushions are arranged in the daily necessities exhibition area, and we have to move forward." Li Weidong said.

"Oh, you didn't tell me earlier!"

The two followed the signs and came to the daily necessities exhibition area, but saw a staff member taking down the sign from the daily necessities exhibition area.

"What's going on? The daily necessities exhibition area is going to be moved?" Wang Kaiping asked.

"The daily necessities exhibition area has been cancelled!" the staff member said: "I received a temporary notice that a large number of traditional embroidery will be exhibited. The space is really not enough, so the daily necessities exhibition area was changed to the embroidery exhibition area."

"What about the exhibits in the daily necessities exhibition area?" Wang Kaiping asked immediately.

"What else can I do? I'll figure it out myself!" the staff member replied without hesitation.
