Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong came to Yangcheng again to participate in the Canton Fair.

The Canton Fair is held twice a year. Previously, Li Weidong participated in the Spring Canton Fair, but this time it is the Autumn Canton Fair.

At the last Canton Fair, Li Weidong's linen car seat cushion exports earned US$4 million in foreign exchange. With such good results, Li Weidong does not have to worry about the booth. Ma Dexing of the Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation will leave the best booth to Li Weidong.

Although Ma Dexing is a snobbish person, Li Weidong does not hate him, but feels that it will be easier to deal with such a person.

As long as it can bring benefits to Ma Dexing, then Ma Dexing can really help you with things. It is much easier to get along with than those who do one thing in front of you and another behind their back.

Li Weidong walked into the Canton Fair. At this time, the exhibition hall was still being set up, and the staff placed the exhibits in corresponding locations.

Li Weidong walked around the venue and found that it was almost the same as in the first half of the year. The exhibition areas were still the same, and the exhibits were also the same.

Soon after, Li Weidong found Ma Dexing in the motorcycle and bicycle exhibition area.

"Director Li is here! Please wait a moment, I will finish the things here, and then I will go to the knitted goods exhibition area with you." Ma Dexing said.

I saw Ma Dexing arguing with the person in charge of the exhibition area for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly, as if he had made a compromise.

Then Ma Dexing came to Li Weidong and said, "Come on, Director Li, let's go to the knitting exhibition area and see how your linen car seat cushions are arranged?"

Li Weidong asked: "Director Ma, looking at you just now, are you in trouble?"

"Yes, I want an extra booth, but they won't give me one." Ma Dexing continued: "There is a Taishan 750 motorcycle in our province. We have participated in the recent Canton Fair, but this time, they won't give us a booth.

Just show me the pictures."

—————

"Are the booths at this Canton Fair so tight?" Li Weidong asked.

"Isn't it because the Taishan 750 can't be sold?" Ma Dexing shook his head helplessly, and then said: "It's also the manufacturer itself that's not up to par. After participating in so many Canton Fairs, not even a single motorcycle was sold. Of course they don't.

We will continue to leave the booth to us. It turns out that the booth was also taken away by Yamaha 80 from Yamashiro."

In the 1980s, Yamashiro introduced the 80-type motorcycle from Yamaha, which is the famous CY80. This two-stroke light motorcycle became the originator of China's curved beam motorcycle.

The advantage of the curved beam motorcycle is that in terms of getting on and off the vehicle, some cargo can also be placed in the curved beam. And because this motorcycle was made in Shancheng, it paid more attention to the climbing ability, so it was very suitable for China's national conditions at that time, so this motorcycle

Once launched, it became popular all over the country.

In comparison, the 750 motorcycle, which was born during World War II, although it looks great, can't really compete with the 80 motorcycle.

Ma Dexing lost a booth, and his depression was written on his face. He came to the knitting exhibition area with a depressed look.

I saw a whole row of linen car seat cushions placed in the most conspicuous position, occupying several counters.

Ma Dexing was taken aback for a moment and said to himself: "The organizer is really polite. I just asked for a booth, but they actually gave me so much. This is great. I'm sure I won't have to worry about selling the linen car seat cushions."

"Director Ma, don't draw conclusions too early. Those exhibits are not produced by our factory." Li Weidong said. He had already recognized that among the row of linen car seat cushions on the counter, only two or three were his.

Products from garment factories.

"Ouch, the old horse is here!" A voice suddenly sounded, it was an official from the foreign trade department of another province.

"Lao Zhang, you came quite early!" Ma Dexing asked.

"That's right, the early bird catches the worm. I came early to set up the booth as soon as possible!" Lao Zhang said, pointing to one of the gray linen car seat cushions, and said: "Old Ma, look

Look, the linen car seat cushions produced by the No. 1 Linen Textile Factory in our province are no worse than your products!"

"Are these your products?" Ma Dexing's face suddenly darkened.

"It's not just ours. Look, the two cushions on the counter over there belong to Lao Hu. The cushions on the counter next to him, the one on the left belongs to Lao Zhao, and the one on the right belongs to Lao Yang..."

Lao Zhang introduced one by one, and it turned out that there were about a dozen foreign trade units from more than a dozen provinces, all of which had brought their own linen car seat cushions.

Ma Dexing suddenly felt angry. When he was in the motorcycle exhibition area, he was already angry, and now this situation has undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

"How could you do this! This linen car seat cushion is our product! Why do you produce it and sell it to the Canton Fair!" Ma Dexing said.

"Lao Ma, what you said is a bit unreasonable. Why can you produce it but we can't?" Lao opened his mouth to retort.

Another person also came over: "Lao Ma, look at this Canton Fair. Doesn't that province bring dozens or hundreds of products? There is no reason why you can sell it and we can't sell it, right? Look at the tea, silk,

Fabrics and porcelain are all sold by the foreign trade teams in various provinces, so how come this car seat cushion has become your product?"

"Yes, Lao Ma, we are all creating foreign exchange for the country. We don't care about what's yours and mine." A third person stepped forward to help.

"You...you are plagiarizing! It's plagiarism!" Ma Dexing said with some incompetence.

"You can't say that! Seat cushions have been around for thousands of years. If we say plagiarism, then we are also plagiarizing from our ancestors. It has nothing to do with you, old Ma!" Lao Zhang opened his mouth and said.

"Yes, among the cultural relics unearthed in our province, there are also straw mats. Those cultural relics are thousands of years old. These are things passed down by our ancestors. How can we say they are plagiarism!" said a person next to him.

Ma Dexing was immediately speechless. Although he suffered a loss in this matter, there was really nothing he could do to explain it.

At this moment, the person in charge of the Canton Fair site came over.

"Dear leaders, I have just received instructions. Since there are many exhibitors of linen car seat cushions, and considering that foreign businessmen have a strong willingness to purchase linen car seat cushions, we have decided to list a special exhibition area for linen car seat cushions after research.

I would also like to trouble you all and move all these car seat cushions to the car seat cushion exhibition area."

"There is a special exhibition area, which is a good thing!" Lao Zhang was the first to say.

"You're right. With a special seat cushion exhibition area, the booth will definitely be sufficient. Then we can put up a few more car seat cushions for foreign businessmen to choose from!" Another person also said.

Everyone looked happy to have a separate exhibition area, except Ma Dexing, whose expression was very gloomy and unhappy.

Ma Dexing was still counting on the linen car seat cushions to achieve greater success and earn millions of dollars in foreign exchange. But with so many competitors suddenly added, wouldn't these millions of dollars in foreign exchange have to be distributed to other companies?

province!

"The duck you got, why did it fly away!" Ma Dexing sighed, and then he looked at Li Weidong beside him, only to find that Li Weidong was smiling, as if he was not affected at all.

"I said, Director Li, how can you still laugh? This linen car seat business is about to be taken away by others. That is millions of dollars in export earnings!" Ma Dexing said anxiously.

"Director Ma, don't worry. I had expected this situation today." Li Weidong said.

"As expected? What do you mean?" Ma Dexing asked.

"Director Ma, I am a prefecture-level enterprise in the tertiary industry, and I can produce linen car seat cushions with or without foundation and resources. Those large state-owned factories in other provinces have richer foundations and resources than mine.

"It's so easy for them to produce linen car seat cushions," Li Weidong said.

Ma Dexing calmed down a little, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that the truth was really on Li Weidong's side.

For those large state-owned manufacturers, they have abundant resources, and it is really easy to prevent linen car seat cushions.

Li Weidong continued: "At the last Canton Fair, our factory's linen car seat cushions sold for four million US dollars. As long as it is a weaving company, there is no one who is not jealous. They are all big companies, and there are provincial foreign trade departments.

As a backing, we are determined to imitate linen car seat cushions, and we can’t stop you! So, Director Ma, calm down and don’t get so angry over this matter.”

"Then we can't just let it go!" Ma Dexing said angrily.

"This matter really has to be settled like this! They are also provincial-level foreign trade units, and we don't have the ability to retaliate against them!"

Li Weidong smiled and then said: "Besides, this linen car seat cushion can no longer make money. So even if our linen car seat cushion cannot be sold, you don't have to feel bad."

"What do you mean?" Ma Dexing asked.

"At the last Canton Fair, I was the only one selling linen car seat cushions. I was a solitary eater, so I could sell them for 29 US dollars a set. Now, there are more than a dozen companies selling linen car seat cushions. Do you think they can still sell for 29 yuan a set?

Set?

I estimate that in order to grab customers, they will definitely lower their prices, which will eventually turn into a price war! By then, the price of a set of linen car seat cushions may fall below 10 US dollars."

Li Weidong paused and then said: "At the price of 10 US dollars, even if another 200,000 sets of linen car seat cushions can be sold at this Canton Fair, the total market will be 2 million US dollars, divided by a dozen companies

If so, the average business is worth more than 100,000 US dollars, which is not as much as black pottery handicrafts!"

Mentioning the black pottery handicrafts, Ma Dexing's face turned slightly red, and he recalled the incident at the last Canton Fair when he picked up sesame seeds and threw away watermelons.

Then Ma Dexing said: "After hearing your analysis, I feel better. But I still feel aggrieved. Why should we share our export earnings with them!"

"Director Ma, don't be anxious, we can earn back this foreign exchange from other places!" Li Weidong lowered his voice and continued: "Remember the new product I mentioned to you before, that wool car seat cushion?

.”

"Can that thing work? Can it sell 100,000 sets?" Ma Dexing asked with doubts on his face.

"You can't sell one hundred thousand sets, but you can definitely sell them with four million dollars."

Li Weidong continued to whisper: "On the morning of the opening day, we will put out the wool car seat cushions to let others see our trump card, and then we will kill them all without leaving a trace!"
