Reborn Industrial Tycoon

The booth in front of Yang Peng was full of car seat cushions.

Looking from a distance, Yang Peng thought these were products from garment factories. Yang Peng was even grateful that the organizer of the Canton Fair had given him such a large exhibition area.

However, as he walked closer, Yang Peng discovered that there were not only linen car seat cushions and wool car seat cushions on the booth, but also fabric car seat cushions, leather car seat cushions, down car seat cushions, cotton car seat cushions, silk car seat cushions, wool car seat cushions, and straw car seat cushions.

cushion……

In short, there are all kinds of car seat cushions, everything you need.

The two types of car seat cushions produced by the transportation company's clothing factory are completely lost among the many types of car seat cushions, and you can't find them unless you look carefully!

"What's going on! Why are there so many car seat cushions!" Yang Peng was stunned for a moment!

It has to be said that these domestic manufacturers, in addition to their first-class plagiarism capabilities, are also very capable of drawing inferences from one example.

As long as any product is thoroughly studied by the Chinese, it won't take long for Chinese companies to complete a series of operations from copycat to product upgrade to innovation.

At the Canton Fair last April, Li Weidong made a splash with his linen car seat cushions. When other exhibitors saw that linen car seat cushions were making money, they started to copycat them, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

However, at the Canton Fair in October, due to price wars between various exhibitors, linen car seat cushions had fallen below the cost price. However, the largest buyer, Wal-Mart of the United States, did not buy a single linen car seat cushion. This made those copycat exhibitors

Lost all his money.

Li Weidong once again shined with his wool car seat cushions. At this time, many exhibitors were already preparing to imitate wool car seat cushions again.

However, there is no shortage of smart people among the participating companies in the Canton Fair. After all, in the 1980s, all the top talents in the country gathered in large state-owned enterprises.

When these exhibitors went back and thought about it carefully, they discovered that the reason why Li Weidong was successful was because his products were unique, so he was able to sell the products at such high prices, thus making huge profits.

Other exhibitors only copy, and their products are all the same without differentiation. In the end, in order to seize the market, they can only engage in price wars. In the end, everyone loses money, but foreign buyers take advantage.

After reviewing their products, these exhibitors decided to learn from Li Weidong's strategy, create unique products, and differentiate their products.

In the minds of other exhibitors, since Li Weidong replaced the flax material with sheepskin material and could receive an order of 4.5 million US dollars, he only needs to change to another material to make the product unique.

different.

Changing a material is a very simple matter, and there is no need to carry out complicated research and development. Just buy the material, process it on a sewing machine, and the product is ready.

Ever since, car seat cushions of various materials have appeared!

Such as fabric, down, cotton, leather, etc. These are considered normal materials. Abnormal materials such as bamboo car seat cushions, wicker car seat cushions, and straw car seat cushions all appeared. There was even an exhibitor who brought

Car seat cushions made from corn husks!

Yang Peng, who came to the Canton Fair for the first time, was instantly confused when he saw so many different types of car seat cushions!

"Why are there so many car seat cushions? They are all made of different materials, with different colors and patterns. This is different from the Canton Fair I imagined! I shouldn't be the only one selling car seat cushions in the entire Canton Fair!"

Yang Peng stood there dumbfounded. For him, who was attending the Canton Fair for the first time, he was overwhelmed by what he saw.

"Comrade, give way, let me pass!" A voice sounded from behind Yang Peng. Only then did Yang Peng come to his senses and found that he was blocked in the middle of the road, so he quickly stepped aside and got out of the way.

In the cushion exhibition area, someone had already noticed the unfamiliar face of Yang Peng. Someone came over and started chatting: "Comrade, are you here to participate in the exhibition too?"

"Yes, I am an exhibitor." Yang Peng nodded hurriedly.

"Look at your appearance, which exhibition area are you in?" the man then asked.

"This is it." Yang Peng pointed to the seat cushion exhibition area and then said, "I sell car seat cushions."

"Haha, in the seat cushion exhibition area, almost every exhibitor sells car seat cushions." The man smiled slightly and asked: "Is this your first time attending the Canton Fair? Which company does it belong to?"

"Qinghe City Transportation Company Garment Factory." Yang Peng replied.

"It turns out it's you!" The other party was shocked, and his eyes were filled with awe, vigilance and envy.

In the past two Canton Fairs, the transportation company's clothing factory has shone brightly, with a total of 8.5 million US dollars in orders, making the clothing factory the big devil in the cushion exhibition area.

So when the name "Qinghe City Transportation Company Garment Factory" was mentioned, the exhibitors in the cushion exhibition area all had the same idea: The big devil is here again!

Knowing that Yang Peng was a member of the Great Demon King, several exhibitors immediately gathered around.

"Comrade, what new products has your factory brought this time? Come out and show them to us!" one of the exhibitors said.

Others also cast enthusiastic glances, and everyone wanted to know what new products the transportation company's clothing factory would bring this time.

Yang Peng answered honestly: "The exhibits of our factory are linen car seat cushions and wool car seat cushions."

"What else?" someone asked.

Yang Peng shook his head: "No more, just these two!"

"Oh, why are you so dishonest, comrade! Why are you hiding new products? Do you have to wait until the Canton Fair officially starts to bring them out?" one person said.

"That's right, everyone is in the same system, and keeping secrets among colleagues is so boring!" Another person said.

"The Canton Fair is about to start. If you bring out your new products now, even if we try to imitate the cat, it's too late. Just bring out your new products and let us have a look!" said the third person.

"Yeah, it's already reached this point, why are you still keeping secrets?" The fourth person agreed.

Yang Peng replied helplessly: "Our factory really has no new products, they are still the same two!"

"You, comrade, are so incompetent! Your young factory director is so honest. He answers whatever is asked and never hides anything!"

"Yes, if your factory director was here, he would definitely have come up with new products. He is such an honest man!"

Yang Peng curled his lips in disbelief and thought to himself, when did you become blind? You actually said that Li Weidong is an honest man! Even if there are ten of me combined, I am not as cunning as Li Weidong!

At this time, someone asked: "I remember, the young director of your factory seems to be named Li, right? When will he come over?"

"He won't come!" Yang Peng paused and then said: "In addition, he is no longer the director of the factory. Now I am the director of the Qinghe Transportation Company Garment Factory!"

"It turns out there has been a change of people! No wonder there are no new products."

"Okay, why are you replacing me? Director Li is still so young, and he is definitely not old enough to retire."

"It's still a matter of writing. That young factory director Li must have been promoted to a higher position, right?"

"You're right. You can earn more than 8 million yuan in foreign exchange from exports a year. It will rise wherever you put it."

Everyone started talking about Li Weidong again, and Zhu Shicong instantly became a little transparent and was ignored by everyone.

…

Li Weidong and his colleagues have arrived at the exhibition area of ​​household appliances.

Household appliances are also a new exhibition area established in the last two Canton Fairs.

In the early 1980s, most of the household appliances used by Chinese people had to be imported. There were only a handful of domestic appliances on the market, let alone going abroad.

Around the mid-1980s, domestically produced household appliances began to gain momentum, and domestic brands of household appliances gradually entered the homes of ordinary people.

By the end of the 1980s, domestically produced household appliances finally embarked on the road of export sales. However, domestically produced household appliances were of the lowest quality and popularity, and it was impossible to sell them to developed countries. People simply looked down on them.

At most, they are sold to those poor brothers in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Walking into the home appliance exhibition area, Li Weidong, a new face, received the same treatment as Yang Peng. Someone took the initiative to talk to Li Weidong.

"Comrade, it seems that you are not a staff member of the exhibition, but also an exhibitor, right?" the man asked.

"Good eyesight, I am an exhibitor." Li Weidong nodded.

"You look quite unfamiliar. You're not from the home appliance exhibition area, right?" the man continued.

"You guessed wrong this time. I'm from the home appliance exhibition area." Li Weidong paused and then said, "This is my first time here this year."

Li Weidong used the first trick of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, pretending to be a newbie in order to ask the experienced driver to show the way.

When the man learned that Li Weidong was a "newcomer", he showed an expression of sudden realization: "It turns out this is your first time here, no wonder I haven't seen you before."

Li Weidong immediately handed over a cigarette and said, "It's my first time here and I don't understand anything. I have to trouble the seniors to give me some pointers."

"Easy to say, easy to say!" The man put the cigarette in his arms, then pointed to the no-smoking standard on the wall, and continued: "Smoking is not allowed in this venue. Of course, this order is only for our exhibitors, as for foreign businessmen,

We can't control it."

"That's it, I've learned a lesson!" Li Weidong said sincerely.

The person then asked: "Which manufacturer are you from? What products do you produce?"

"I am just a small, unknown factory that produces small household appliances and is not worth mentioning." Li Weidong did not dare to name the Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory. If he did say it, people would hear that it was just a township enterprise and they would probably not know it.

I am willing to talk to Li Weidong again.

Then Li Weidong asked: "You must be from a well-known manufacturer, right?"

"Well, I'm from Chunhua Vacuum Cleaner Factory!" the man said.

"Chunhua vacuum cleaner? This is the number one vacuum cleaner brand in China! It's amazing!" Li Weidong deliberately extended a thumbs up.

"What's the point of being number one in the country? This is the Canton Fair, which only recognizes foreign exchange, not RMB. There are no orders from foreign businessmen, and there are no good booths." The man said.

Li Weidong deliberately showed an expression of disbelief and said, "No way! Your Chunhua vacuum cleaner is so famous, how can you still not have a good booth?"

"The good positions are all occupied by color TVs and refrigerators, while the common positions are occupied by air conditioners, cassette players and washing machines. Even electric fans are better than the ones in our factory!"

The man sighed helplessly, and then said: "My counter is at the very edge, and half of the front is blocked. It is the second worst in the home appliance exhibition area!"

"Then there isn't a last-place person to support you! Calculated this way, you are not the most unlucky." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"That's right. In the most remote booth, there is an ugly big iron box. I don't know what it is." The man said.

"Big iron box?" Li Weidong's expression suddenly twitched.

Isn’t the air fryer just a big iron box?
