Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong felt that he was really unlucky and had a bad life.

I finally got a quota for the Canton Fair, and then carefully prepared to participate in the exhibition, but I found out before the opening that the booth was gone!

Li Weidong walked forward depressed and negotiated with the staff.

"Comrade, why is there another embroidery exhibition area for such a good person?" Li Weidong asked.

"In the past few years, embroidery products have been exhibited together with other handicrafts, and foreign businessmen would buy some sporadically as souvenirs to take back. But last year, a European businessman purchased a large amount of embroidery products and said he would go back to make them.

For home decoration.”

The staff member paused for a moment before replying: "This merchant is here again this year, and he has brought several companions with him. Our leaders believe that these merchants are more willing to purchase and should be able to bring a lot of

of foreign exchange, so we decided to list embroidery as a separate exhibition area.”

Li Weidong immediately took out a cigarette, handed it to the staff member, and then asked: "Comrade, your leaders are really powerful. You can even know which foreign businessmen are coming!"

The staff member took the cigarette and became more talkative. He said: "There are only a few hotels where foreign businessmen live. When foreign guests check into the hotel, they must register their workplace. When foreign businessmen come to check in,

, don’t we know what kind of business foreign businessmen do!”

"So that's it, it's really brilliant!" Li Weidong gave a thumbs up.

The staff continued: "And many foreign businessmen are not here for the first time. As long as they have bought things at our Canton Fair, we have records. If they come again, how can we not recognize them! Don't look at the Canton Fair and have not yet

At the beginning, in fact, the foreign trade bureaus of various provinces have begun to contact foreign businessmen and sell products to them."

"This is the first time I've heard of such a thing." Li Weidong nodded in realization.

"Is this your first time at the Canton Fair, little comrade?" the staff member asked,

Li Weidong pretended to be a newbie and nodded seriously: "This is my first time here. Brother, you are well-informed. Please tell me the secrets inside."

After receiving such a compliment from Li Weidong, the staff member began to show off, and he said: "In fact, the foreign trade departments of each province have a list of important foreign businessmen, those who have purchased in the past, and those who have a strong willingness to purchase.

, they are all on that list, we know exactly what they want to buy.

Before the Canton Fair starts, go to negotiate with foreign businessmen first, negotiate the price, and then formally sign the order when the Canton Fair starts. Otherwise, why do the first days of these Canton Fairs have the largest transaction volume? In fact, they are all early

Let’s just talk about it.”

Li Weidong pretended to be impressed, and then asked: "Then do you know where to get the list of important foreign businessmen?"

"I definitely don't have this thing. You can ask the leader of your provincial foreign trade department. Maybe you can see it." The staff member said.

Li Weidong nodded again and then leaned aside.

Wang Kaiping came over and asked: "Director, our booth is gone, what should we do?"

"First go to Director Ma of our group and ask what's going on!" Li Weidong replied.

…

The director Ma Li Weidong mentioned is named Ma Dexing, and he is a director of the Department of Foreign Trade.

This time, the foreign trade team from Handong Province came to participate in the Canton Fair. The team leader was a deputy department leader. However, it was impossible for this leader to personally handle the trivial matters at the exhibition, so Ma Dexing was arranged as the deputy team leader to be responsible for front-line work.

In the Canton Fair office area, the trade teams of each province have their own offices.

Arriving at the office door, Li Weidong knocked on the door and asked at the door: "Is Director Ma here?"

"I'm here, please come in." Ma Dexing said, and Li Weidong opened the door and walked in.

Ma Dexing did not know Li Weidong, but he thought he looked familiar. After all, the foreign trade team of Handong Province had hundreds of companies participating in the Canton Fair, and there were hundreds of people in total. Ma Dexing could not possibly know them all.

"Is this young comrade an exhibitor of our provincial foreign trade team?" Ma Dexing confirmed first.

"Yes, I am an exhibitor from our province." Li Weidong nodded.

After confirming that he was one of his own, Ma Dexing asked: "What can I do for you?"

Li Weidong said: "Director Ma, the daily necessities exhibition area at the venue has been canceled and changed to an embroidery exhibition area. Do you know about this?"

"So you came here for this matter." Ma Dexing nodded in sudden realization, and then replied: "I only found out about the change of the daily necessities exhibition area into the embroidery exhibition area not long ago. This was a temporary arrangement by the organizer.

We, the exhibitors, have no right to interfere with the decision. Moreover, it is not a bad thing to list a separate embroidery exhibition area. Our trade team also has embroidery products!"

"Director Ma, the organizer has temporarily canceled the exhibition area. You have to give us an explanation, right? They don't have any compensation or anything?" Li Weidong asked again.

"Well, there is still some compensation. In the ceramics exhibition area, they gave us half a booth, so we can display a few more black pottery crafts. Foreigners still like our Chinese ceramics, especially this black pottery

, many foreigners have never seen it. With this extra half a booth, it is estimated that we can earn an additional US$50,000 in foreign exchange!" Ma De replied enthusiastically.

"I exchanged my booth for a black pottery counter, and I still looked arrogant!" Li Weidong felt angry in his heart.

Just listen to Li Weidong say: "Director Ma, our company's products were originally exhibited in the daily necessities area. Now the organizer has canceled the daily necessities area, took away my booth, and then gave me compensation. Is this compensation appropriate?"

It’s only right to give it back to us!”

"Are you producing ceramic products?" Ma Dexing asked.

Li Weidong shook his head: "No. We produce car seat cushions."

"We were compensated for the ceramics booth. You are not a manufacturer of ceramics, so of course you can't go to the ceramics booth!" Ma Dexing replied.

"Are there any other booths? Give me one anyway! You can't take away our booth and give us nothing, right?" Li Weidong said.

"Then let me try to think of something for you. What are the products you are exhibiting?" Ma Dexing asked again.

"The car seat cushion is the one that is placed on the car seat." Li Weidong answered.

"Oh, car seat cushions, this is really difficult to arrange. You said they are textiles, but the textiles displayed are all kinds of cloth; you said they are clothes, and they cannot be worn on the body..." Ma Dexing pretended

He looked very worried.

"Director Ma, our car seat cushions are woven and can be placed on the woven side." Li Weidong said immediately.

"There has long been no place for knitted products." Ma Dexing spread his hands and continued: "Knitted products cover a wide range of products, such as willow weaving, straw weaving, reed weaving, and woolen weaving. In short, all provinces have knitted products participating in the exhibition, and some

The Department of Foreign Trade personally took the lead, so the woven products exhibition area has already been filled up. Our group still has several wicker exhibits that have not been put in!"

"What should we do with the products from our factory?" Li Weidong asked directly.

"The temporary modification of the exhibition area by the organizer is a special situation and can be regarded as an accident. Otherwise, your factory will sacrifice and carry forward its style. Don't participate in the exhibition at this Canton Fair. Wait for the next Canton Fair. I will give you

Find a good booth." Ma Dexing said.

Li Weidong had already seen that Ma Dexing was deliberately practicing Tai Chi with him, and he had no intention of arranging a booth for himself.

What annoys Li Weidong the most is this kind of person, who rejects you without knowing it, but will find various reasons to go around, but there are many such people.

In Ma Dexing's opinion, the ceramics exhibition area is much more important, and black pottery handicrafts are more popular with foreign businessmen. As for car seat cushions, I don't even own a car, so I don't know what the use of car seat cushions is!

"It seems that this booth will no longer come. We have to find a way to get the list of important foreign businessmen. Maybe there is a chance for a comeback. I wonder if Ma Dexing has that list of important foreign businessmen." Li Weidong began to think.

Think about how to inquire about the list of important foreign businessmen.

Ma Dexing, who was on the opposite side, continued to pretend. He took out a form of enterprises participating in the war and said: "Comrade, I will mark your factory and wait for next year's Canton Fair to give you priority in arranging a booth."

"It's hard to say whether you will lead the team next year! You are deliberately trying to fool me because of my youth!"

Li Weidong knew that Ma Dexing was just showing off. The so-called promise of priority next year was just to appease Li Weidong and write a blank check.

I saw Ma Dexing holding the exhibitor form, searching it for a long time, and finally found the words "linen car seat cushion".

"I found it, a linen car seat cushion. This is your exhibit, right? Let me see. Are you the Qinghe Regional Transportation Company garment factory?"

Ma Dexing frowned for a moment, and then asked: "Why does your company sound like a tertiary industry?"

"We are just a tertiary industry." Li Weidong replied coldly.

"Then Qinghe Regional Transportation Company is your parent company, right?" Ma Dexing asked next.

Li Weidong nodded: "Yes, we are the tertiary industry of the transportation company."

After Ma Dexing thought for a few seconds, he said, "Among the provincial-level enterprises, there is no Qinghe Regional Transportation Company. Are you a prefectural-level enterprise?"

"Regional transportation companies are just prefecture-level enterprises, aren't they?" Li Weidong replied.

"In other words, you are a tertiary industry enterprise of a municipal-level enterprise?" Ma Dexing confirmed again.

"You are right, we are the tertiary industry of prefecture-level enterprises." Li Weidong nodded again.

"Okay, I understand." Ma Dexing's tone suddenly turned cold: "I have marked it for you. You can wait until next year's Canton Fair! I still have some work on hand that I have not completed, so I won't send you out."

As Ma Dexing said this, he put on a posture of seeing off guests.

Knowing that Li Weidong's garment factory was only a tertiary industry in a prefecture-level city, Ma Dexing didn't even bother to open it with a blank check!

…

Li Weidong walked in the corridor of the office area with a gloomy face.

Ma Dexing's change of attitude was completely unexpected by Li Weidong. After all, the garment factory is only a tertiary industry. Compared with those key national or provincial enterprises, it is normal for it to be unpopular.

Besides, Ma Dexing would not give Li Weidong a booth, so Li Weidong naturally did not have to curry favor with Ma Dexing.

"At the critical moment, you still have to rely on yourself! After going full circle, you still have to find a foreigner to sell it yourself!" Li Weidong sighed lightly and began to think about countermeasures in his mind.

At this moment, a group of people came forward. Li Weidong looked up and saw that the leader was an acquaintance!

Li Weidong couldn't help but think of Lu You's poem:

There is no way out in the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers!
