Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 349 I’m here to sell orange juice

Large-scale exhibitions will definitely have leisure areas that provide some simple entertainment facilities. Of course, the most important thing is various catering services, selling drinks and food.

When Li Weidong went to attend the Canton Fair, he held a food festival in the square outside the venue, selling various Cantonese snacks, which also attracted a lot of customers.

At exhibitions held in European and American countries, a variety of delicacies are indispensable, and the prices are not expensive.

For example, at exhibitions held in the United States, there will most likely be hotdog sellers, even at top fashion festivals such as the New York Fashion Show. Models on the T stage are glamorous, bringing the world's most popular fashions.

The audience below was happily eating hot dogs.

Beer and sausages are indispensable at any exhibition held in Germany, but of course there are also other foods.

Li Weidong directly rented a stall. He planned to sell orange juice. Not only would he squeeze it in front of the customers, but if the customers wanted to do it themselves, Li Weidong would not mind the customers giving it a try.

It is definitely much easier to rent a juice stall in the leisure area than to get a regular booth in the exhibition area. No matter how busy the organizer is, it will not compete with a juice seller.

Thanks to Li Weidong's exhibition this time, which is an orange juice machine, he can set up a stall in the leisure area and use this method to benefit the exhibition. If Li Weidong is selling washing machines, he can't open a laundry on site!

…

Li Weidong's orange juice stall has been prepared, and domestic exhibition groups have also arrived in Cologne to start setting up the exhibition.

Cai Qianjin looked at the air fryers placed on the booth with a proud smile on his face.

"A gentleman's revenge is never too late! Ten years is not too late! Li Weidong, I couldn't cure you at the Canton Fair, but at this Cologne Electrical Appliances Show, I made you suffer a big mistake! This time, I finally got revenge for what I did back then!"

"Cai Qianjin thought to himself.

At the Canton Fair, Cai Qianjin and Li Weidong had a grudge because of the loss of the air fryer patent. Li Weidong made Cai Qianjin suffer everywhere, but Cai Qianjin had nothing to do with Li Weidong.

Li Weidong and Cai Qianjin are not from the same province. No matter how long Cai Qian's hand is, he cannot reach other provinces. Even if Cai Qian wants to retaliate against Li Weidong, he cannot find a way.

Cai Qianjin had been holding back this tone for several years, and finally found an opportunity at the Cologne International Electrical Appliances Show.

When Cai Qianjin learned that Ma Dexing reported five participating companies, and one of them was Li Weidong's electrical appliance factory, Cai Qianjin realized that his opportunity had come.

Cai Qianjin found several foreign trade colleagues from other provinces and reported to the ministry that it was unfair that one province had products from five companies exhibiting, while other provinces did not even have one.

Sure enough, in order to reflect fairness and appease those provinces without companies participating in the exhibition, the ministries and commissions had to reduce one quota and allocate it to companies from other provinces.

And this is precisely the quota for Li Weidong. After all, among the five companies, only Li Weidong's company is not well-known and has no state-owned background. The others are all well-known brands, so you have to be picky.

Cai Qianjin found connections again and got this spot, which also explained the principle that children who cry will get milk to drink.

"I don't know what Li Weidong's expression will be now. He must be full of disappointment! I really want to appreciate his current appearance, but it's a pity that this is Cologne, Germany, and he is not qualified to come!"

Cai Qianjin was thinking about it when he suddenly felt that not far ahead, there was a Chinese who looked very much like Li Weidong.

"I keep thinking about that Li Weidong, and now everyone looks like Li Weidong!" Cai Qianjin thought to himself, and then pressed the Qingming point with his hand.

Then Cai Qianjin opened his eyes. Perhaps due to psychological effects, his vision became much clearer.

"Eye exercises are still very useful!" Cai Qianjin thought to himself, and then looked in the same direction.

Cai Qianjin, who could see more clearly, suddenly discovered that the man in the distance looked exactly like Li Weidong.

Two seconds later, Cai Qianjin finally realized that that person was Li Weidong!

"My eyes are not dazzled, that person is Li Weidong! Why is Li Weidong here? Hasn't his qualification to participate in the exhibition been cancelled? How can he still come to the exhibition? And there is indeed no him in our exhibition group!"

Cai Qianjin told me that something was wrong, so I immediately followed him, intending to find out what was going on.

I saw Li Weidong looking around as if he were watching something, slowly walked towards the leisure area, and then ordered a sausage with tomato and vegetable salad in front of a stall, and ate it happily.

"Li Weidong is still thinking about eating, and he is enjoying it from the look on his face. Could it be that he really found the booth through other means?"

Cai Jinjin has personally experienced Li Weidong's methods. If someone told Cai Jinjin that Li Weidong could obtain a booth through other means, Cai Jinjin would really believe it!

"Does this Li Weidong really have three heads and six arms? This can't even cure you!" A wave of unwillingness emerged from Cai Qianjin's heart.

The next second, Cai Qianjin rolled his eyes and thought about it.

"I guess the leaders in the department don't know about this, right? I'll go to the leader first to find out. If the leader really doesn't know, I will sue Li Weidong, saying that he is unorganized and undisciplined and participated in the exhibition privately!

In this case, even if there is nothing you can do against him in Cologne, you will still be able to enjoy his good fruits after returning to China!"

…

In order to enable the Chinese exhibition group to participate smoothly, the organizers of Cologne gave the exhibition group a lot of help, and the exhibition group also reciprocated by sending Sun Xinmin to lead the team.

A bureau-level cadre personally led the team, which was enough to give the Cologne Home Appliances Show face.

So Cai Qianjin came to Sun Xinmin to complain.

After meeting Sun Xinmin, Cai Qianjin made some nonsense at first, and then asked: "Leader, besides us, are there any other exhibition groups sent out in the country?"

Sun Xinmin shook his head: "This is the International Home Appliances Exhibition. The country sent our pavilion only through hard negotiation with the organizer. How can there be other pavilions."

"Then something is wrong!" Cai Qianjin pretended to be confused, and then said: "Boss, I have to report something to you. I found that in addition to the people in our exhibition group, there are also other domestic companies coming.

Participated in the exhibition.”

"No, are you wrong? There are many overseas Chinese in Germany. Maybe you met local Chinese in Cologne or overseas students," Sun Xinmin said.

"The leader must not be an overseas Chinese or an overseas student, because I know that person, his name is Li Weidong, and he has participated in the Canton Fair before!" Cai Jinjin said immediately.

"Li Weidong? I know him. He sold car seat cushions and air fryers back then. He was a celebrity at the Canton Fair. Has he also come to Cologne?" Sun Xinmin asked.

"I have seen it with my own eyes!" Cai Qianjin continued: "This Li Weidong is simply unorganized and undisciplined. He actually bypassed the ministry and came to the exhibition privately. He is simply without a group!

And even if Li Weidong has his own way to participate in the exhibition, he still has to report it to the ministry! After all, participating in overseas exhibitions represents the image of the country, and by doing so, he simply does not take the leaders of the ministry and commissions seriously!"

Sun Xinmin frowned. As the saying goes, diplomacy is no small matter. If you go abroad to participate in such an important international exhibition, you should really report it to the superior authority.

After all, this was still the early 1990s, when the country was far less open than later generations, and when dealing with foreign affairs, the rules and regulations were much stricter.

Cai Qianjin continued, "Leader, I think this kind of behavior that ignores the overall situation and acts privately should be severely punished! Otherwise, if this case is started, all companies will go their own way in the future. This year you will come to Germany to exhibit, and tomorrow he will go to the United States to exhibit.

, the ministries and commissions are completely unaware of it, wouldn’t it be chaos!

It’s okay if it doesn’t cause trouble, but if it does cause trouble and involves a diplomatic dispute, wouldn’t it cause chaos to our country? If our ministries handle it then, wouldn’t it be very passive?”

Sun Xinmin nodded slowly. He felt that what Cai Qianjin said made sense. Going abroad to participate in exhibitions is a small thing, but causing trouble is big. If a diplomatic dispute really breaks out, the country will help wipe the mess! The responsibility will be held

At that time, the foreign trade department must also take responsibility.

Thinking of this, Sun Xinmin said: "Seeing is believing. Where is Li Weidong now? Let's ask Li Weidong what's going on?"

Cai Qianjin was immediately overjoyed. He immediately said, "He is eating in the leisure area. Leader, I will take you there now."

…

Li Weidong originally wanted to have another glass of authentic German beer, but considering that this was not dinner, it was better not to drink.

At this moment, Cai Qianjin came over with Sun Xinmin and the translator.

"Leader, look, it's over there!" Cai Qianjin pointed to Li Weidong not far away.

When Li Weidong heard someone speaking Chinese, he couldn't help but raise his head and look around. It seemed that he was leading Cai Qianjin and Sun Xinmin.

"Sun Si! Why are you here!" Li Weidong immediately greeted him with an expression of surprise, and then said, "I didn't expect that I could meet the leader in this foreign country!"

"I will lead the team to participate in the Cologne Home Appliances Show!" Sun Xinmin replied.

Cai Qianjin, who was next to him, added: "Sun Si is the leader of our exhibition group, so of course he has to be here. But you, Li Weidong, why are you here?"

Li Weidong glared at Cai Qianjin, and then said: "Isn't this Director Wang Caiwang? You are here too. I just paid attention to Sun Si and didn't see you!"

"Director Wang?" Cai Jinjin was stunned, and suddenly said with an embarrassed look on his face: "My surname is Cai! My name is Cai Jinjin!"

"Oh, look at my brain, I remembered it wrong. I'm sorry, Director Cai!" Li Weidong said with an apologetic smile.

Of course Li Weidong knew that he was Cai Qianjin. He deliberately pretended to remember it wrong, firstly to embarrass Cai Jinjin, and secondly to show that he was not familiar with Cai Qianjin.

Sure enough, something strange flashed in Sun Xinmin's eyes. He glanced at Cai Qianjin and said to himself, "You act like you are familiar with this person, but in the end, they don't even know who you are!"

Then Sun Xinmin asked, "Director Li, why are you here? Are you here to participate in the exhibition?"

"The leader misunderstood, I'm not here to participate in the exhibition." Li Weidong immediately shook his head, and then replied with a smile: "I'm here to sell orange juice!"
