Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

The latest website: Li Weidong came to Yangcheng again to participate in the Canton Fair.

The Canton Fair is held twice a year. Previously, Li Weidong attended the Spring Canton Fair, and this time it was the Autumn Canton Fair.

At the last Canton Fair, Li Weidong's linen car cushions earned 4 million US dollars in foreign exchange. With such a good result, Li Weidong does not need to worry about the booth. Ma Dexing of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Office will leave the best booth to Li Weidong.

Although Ma Dexing was a snob, Li Weidong didn't hate him, but felt that dealing with such a person would be more worry-free.

As long as it can bring benefits to Ma Dexing, then Ma Dexing can really help you do things, and it is much easier to get along with than those who do things in person and behind the scenes.

Li Weidong walked into the site of the Canton Fair. At this time, the exhibition was still being set up in the venue. The staff placed each exhibit in the corresponding position.

Li Weidong strolled around the venue and found that it was similar to the first half of the year, the exhibition areas were still those exhibition areas, and the exhibits were also those exhibits.

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

"Director Li is here! Just wait a moment, I'll take care of the affairs here, and then go to the knitting exhibition area with you." Ma Dexing said.

I saw Ma Dexing and the person in charge of the exhibition area argued 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 woven products exhibition area and see how your linen car seat is arranged?"

Li Weidong asked, "Director Ma, looking at you just now, did you encounter difficulties?"

"Yeah, I want an extra booth, but they won't give it." Ma Dexing continued: "Don't we have a Taishan 750 motorcycle in our province? We have also participated in the recent Canton Fairs, but this time, they will not give a booth. Just let me show the picture."

—————

"Is the booth at this Canton Fair so nervous?" Li Weidong asked.

"It's not because the Taishan 750 can't be sold!" Ma Dexing shook his head helplessly, and then said: "It's also because the manufacturers themselves are not good enough. After participating in so many Canton Fairs, a motorcycle has not been sold. Of course others will not. We will continue to leave the booth to us. The original booth,

It was also snatched by Yamaha 80 in Yamashiro. "

In the 1980s, Shancheng introduced the Type 80 motorcycle from Yamaha, which is the famous CY80. This two-stroke light motorcycle has become the originator of Chinese curved beam motorcycles.

The advantage of a curved beam motorcycle is that in terms of getting on and off the bike, you can also put some cargo on the curved beam. And because this car is made in Shancheng, it pays more attention to the climbing ability, so it is very suitable for China's national conditions at that time. Therefore, this motorcycle has swept the country once it was launched.

In contrast, the 750 motorcycle born during World War II, although the appearance is very atmospheric, it really can't compete with the 80 motorcycle.

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

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

Ma Dexing was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "The organizer is really polite, I just asked for a booth, and they gave so much. It's good, and there is no need to worry about selling linen car seat cushions."

"Director Ma, don't jump to conclusions. Those exhibits are not produced by our factory." Li Weidong said, he had already recognized that in the row of linen car seat cushions on the counter, only two or three were his own. products of clothing factory.

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

"Old Zhang, you came very 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, pointed 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 Spinning Factory in our province are no worse than yours!"

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

"Not only ours, look, the two cushions on the counter over there belong to Lao Hu, the cushion on the counter next to it, the one on the left is Lao Zhao, and the one on the right is Lao Yang's..."

Lao Zhang introduced them one by one. About a dozen foreign trade units in provinces have brought their own linen car seat cushions.

Ma Dexing was suddenly angry. When he was in the motorcycle exhibition area, he was already suffocated. Now this situation is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

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

"Old Ma, what you said is a bit unreasonable. Why can't we produce if you can produce it there?" Lao Zhang retorted.

Another person also came over: "Old Ma, look at the Canton Fair, isn't that province carrying dozens or hundreds of products? There's no reason why we can't sell it without you, right? Look at the tea, silk, Don't the foreign trade teams in each province sell fabrics and porcelain, so why should this car seat cushion become your product?"

"Yeah, old horse, they all create foreign exchange for the country, and they care about yours and mine." The third person stepped forward to help.

"You...you're plagiarizing! It's plagiarism!" Ma Dexing said with a bit of skill.

"You can't say that! The seat cushion has been around for thousands of years. If you want to say plagiarism, then we also plagiarized our ancestors. It has nothing to do with your old horse!" Lao Zhang said.

"Yes, among the cultural relics unearthed in our province, there are also straw mats. Those cultural relics are thousands of years old. This is something passed down by our ancestors. How can we say that it is plagiarism!" A person next to him said.

Ma Dexing was suddenly speechless. Although he suffered a loss, he really couldn't deal with it.

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

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received an instruction. Since there are many exhibitors of linen car seat cushions, and considering that foreign businessmen have a strong desire to buy linen car seat cushions, we have decided to list a seat cushion exhibition area after research. I will also trouble you to 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.

"That's right. With a special seat cushion exhibition area, there must be plenty of booths. At that time, we can put more car seat cushions for foreign businessmen to choose from!" Another person also said.

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

Ma Dexing was still counting on the linen car seat cushions to be brilliant again and earn millions of dollars in foreign exchange, but suddenly there are so many competitors, so these millions of dollars in foreign exchange are not going to be distributed to others. province!

"The duck I got, why did it fly away!" Ma Dexing sighed, then he looked at Li Weidong beside him, but found Li Weidong smiling, as if he was not affected in the slightest.

"I said Factory Manager Li, how can you still laugh? The business of this linen car seat is going to be taken away. That's millions of dollars in export earnings!" Ma Dexing said anxiously.

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

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

"Director Ma, I, a prefecture-level enterprise's tertiary industry, can produce linen car seat cushions if it has no background or resources. The large state-owned factories in other provinces have richer background and resources than mine here. Many, they want to produce linen car seat cushions, isn't it easy?" Li Weidong said.

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

For those large state-owned factories, they have resources in their hands, and it is really too easy to prevent linen car seats.

Li Weidong went on to say: "At the last Canton Fair, the linen car seat cushions of our factory sold for 4 million US dollars. As long as it is a weaving company, there is no reason to be jealous. Everyone is a big company, and there is a provincial foreign trade and economic department. As a backing, we are determined to imitate the linen car seat cushion, and we can't stop it! So, Director Ma, please put out the fire, don't get angry about this."

"That can't be the case!" Ma Dexing said angrily.

"This matter, it really has to be like this! They are also provincial foreign trade units, and we have no ability to take revenge on them!"

Li Weidong smiled and then said: "Besides, this linen car seat can't make any money now. So even if we can't sell the linen car seat, you don't have to feel bad."

"What do you mean by that?" Ma Dexing asked.

"At the last Canton Fair, only my family sold linen car seat cushions, and I was eating alone, so I could sell a set of 29 US dollars. Now, there are more than a dozen companies selling linen car seat cushions, and you think they can still sell for 29 yuan a set. set?

I figured that in order to grab customers, they would definitely cut prices, which eventually turned into a price war! By then, the price of a linen car seat may fall below $10. "

Li Weidong paused, then said: "At the price of 10 US dollars, even if this Canton Fair can sell another 200,000 sets of linen car seat cushions, that is a total market of 2 million US dollars, and a dozen companies will share it. In that case, the average business is more than a hundred thousand dollars, and there are not as many black pottery handicrafts sold!"

Mentioning black pottery crafts, Ma Dexing's old face turned red slightly, and he remembered the incident of picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelon at the last Canton Fair.

Then Ma Dexing said, "I feel better after listening to your analysis. But I still feel aggrieved and flustered. Why should we share foreign exchange earnings from our exports to them!"

"Director Ma, don't worry, we can earn this foreign exchange from somewhere else!" 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 suspiciously.

"One hundred thousand sets can't be sold, but four million dollars can definitely be sold."

Li Weidong continued to whisper: "Wait until the morning of the opening day, let's put the wool car seat out, let others see our killer, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"
