Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

"Who is frying fish in there, come out quickly!"

This shout came to Li Weidong's ears, and through the tone of the speech and the daring of such a loud shout, Li Weidong already felt that the visitor was not good!

"Mr. Hart, please wait a moment, someone called me outside!" After Li Weidong finished speaking, he leaned out from behind the refrigerator.

I saw a large group of people standing in front, headed by Kong Zhen, the person in charge of the Canton Fair site.

When the exhibitors in the home appliance exhibition area went to ask for a power supply, Li Weidong had seen Kong Zhen, so Li Weidong recognized Kong Zhen instantly, but Kong Zhen did not know Li Weidong. After all, there are so many exhibitors at the Canton Fair, and it is impossible for Kong Zhen to know all of them. .

Beside Kong Zhen, there was a man standing righteously and indignantly looking at Li Weidong, feeling very unfriendly.

Li Weidong felt that this person was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered.

"Isn't this the grandson who asked me for fries just now! It seems that he didn't really come to ask for fries before, but to make trouble. Where am I to blame this person? I have no impression at all! "

The soldiers came to block the water and the soil. Since Kong Zhen had already come to the door, Li Weidong could only walk forward with a smile and said, "Director Kong is here, what's the matter?"

Kong Zhen's face was cold, he put on his official prestige and asked, "Are you frying potato chips?"

"Yes, it's me!" Li Weidong did not deny it.

"You still fried fish?" Kong Zhen said and took another breath.

"It's just fried, and it's still warm. Director Kong, would you like to try it?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

Kong Zhen snorted coldly and continued, "I'll officially inform you now that you are not allowed to fry french fries or fish! In addition, you should take your products and leave the exhibition hall of the Canton Fair immediately."

"Why?" Li Weidong asked calmly, "There must be a reason for you to drive me away, right?"

"You are fried here, the smell of oil smoke is too strong, which pollutes the environment in the venue and affects the overall image of the Canton Fair. Exhibitors like you who have a negative impact on the Canton Fair, we at the Canton Fair will not Welcome!" Kong Zhen said.

"Director Kong, is there any misunderstanding here, I don't fry things for myself, but for those foreign businessmen to eat.

Foreign businessmen have been shopping at the Canton Fair all morning, and they must be hungry. Let me eat something here and make up my stomach.

This is a good thing to enhance friendship with foreign businessmen!

If you don't believe me, you can ask, but all the foreign businessmen who have eaten my food have also expressed their gratitude to me, and they all report me well! How can I work hard to enhance the friendship between China and foreign countries, and how can it have a negative impact on the Canton Fair?

In addition, these foreign businessmen can continue to visit the venue when they have full stomachs. The more foreign businessmen visit for a while, the more likely they will place an order. We can sell more things and export more to earn foreign exchange. Totally contributing to the Canton Fair! "

In terms of lip service, officials in the system like Kong Zhen are really no match for the old fritters in the business field like Li Weidong.

However, officials in the system like Kong Zhen don't need to reason with others.

Regardless of whether the superior's words are correct or not, they must be resolutely implemented; when the subordinates are instructed, they don't need to worry about whether they are correct or not.

So Kong Zhen said simply: "I don't care who you are frying for, in short, you can't do it, hurry up and leave, or I'll ask the security to invite you out!"

As Kong Zhen said, two people in security uniforms really came over, looking like they were gearing up.

Seeing Kong Zhen being so unreasonable, Li Weidong felt a little helpless. Some people just eat hard and don't eat softly. If they don't eat toast, they have to be punished by drinking alcohol. Give him a hammer and be honest when it hurts!

So Li Weidong asked, "Is it okay to feed foreign businessmen?"

"No!" Kong Zhen shook his head very simply.

Li Weidong turned back and shouted in English, "Mr. Hart, someone won't allow you to eat fish."

Kong Zhen knew English, and when he heard Li Weidong shouting this sentence in English, Kong Zhen felt bad.

Sure enough, the next second, a foreigner's big head stuck his head out from behind the refrigerator and asked, "Who?"

Li Weidong pointed to Kong Zhen and replied in English, "It's him, he's Kong, the official here!"

Hearing the word "official", Hart's face suddenly showed a look of horror, and then he saw the two people in security uniforms, and immediately misunderstood.

"I didn't do anything, I just took a mouthful of fish, don't catch me!" Hart said tremblingly, so he almost didn't cry!

Hart was coming to the mainland for the first time. He probably heard a lot of false rumors about China in the Western media, so he seemed very scared.

"Why is there really a foreigner eating fish! He seems to have misunderstood me! Oops, if this matter gets bigger, it will cause a diplomatic dispute!"

Kong Zhen was on the verge of crying without tears. He instantly realized that in the blink of an eye, the young man in front of him had dug himself a big hole that was difficult to fill!

Just imagine, if this foreign businessman really misunderstood Kong Zhen and went to the British Embassy in China to say that there was an official surnamed Kong at the Canton Fair who wanted to arrest him, it would really cause a diplomatic dispute.

If the BBC takes the opportunity to concoct another fake news, create a bit of international public opinion, ruin the reputation of the Canton Fair, and by the way black out a wave of China, then Kong Zhen will have to bear the blame no matter what, and the Wusha hat can't be kept!

Thinking of this, Kong Zhen sweated again, and it was estimated that a cup of herbal tea could not quench the fire of anxiety in his heart.

"Sir, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to arrest you! You are our VIP, how could I arrest you!" Kong Zhen said quickly.

However, Hart said pitifully: "Whatever you want to ask, I will say, please don't torture me!"

Kong Zhen quickly put on a friendly smile: "Sir, don't be nervous, I really didn't come to catch you."

"I have an 80-year-old mother and an 8-year-old child. I have adopted a poor stray dog. I still have fifteen years to pay off the mortgage. Please let me go!" Ha! Te looked about to cry.

Kong Zhen knew that he was afraid that he could not explain clearly, this Hart had obviously been brainwashed by the Western media, and believed that Chinese officials were very terrifying existences.

In desperation, Kong Zhen had no choice but to look at Li Weidong: "Quickly explain it to me!"

"Director Kong, this is inappropriate, after all, I'm going to roll up and leave!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"I won't drive you away, let's do it!" Kong Zhen said quickly.

"Then what about the fried stuff?" Li Weidong asked in an inch.

"Fry it however you want! Help me explain it clearly!" Kong Zhen said anxiously.

Li Weidong nodded, turned around and walked to Hart, and said, "Mr. Hart, this is your first time at the Canton Fair, so you don't know the rules here. According to the rules of the Canton Fair, when exhibitors sign orders with foreign businessmen, officials are required. Being there as a witness to ensure that exhibitors can supply on time, this official is here to witness. So you don't have to worry at all, he is here to restrain me."

Hart was stunned for a moment, his expression eased a lot, and then he nodded: "I remembered, my friend told me that there seems to be such a rule."

To persuade a person to believe in something, it is actually very simple, and it is enough to find a reasonable reason.

Li Weidong found a reasonable reason for Kong Zhen's arrival, which immediately reassured Hart.

This is Li Weidong's second trick, which is to change the subject and let Hart forget this unpleasant incident as soon as possible.

So Li Weidong said: "Mr. Hart, let's continue the topic just now, about the price of this kind of air fryer, in fact, this kind of air fryer is very cheap, only $330 a piece! If you buy in large quantities, I can also give some discounts for you."

"$330 is a bit expensive!" Hart said.

At that time, an electric oven made in Germany cost at least more than 300 US dollars, so in the European market, a household appliance sold for 330 US dollars is still a relatively reasonable price.

But considering that Hart still needs some profit, the price of $330 seems a bit high. After all, Hart still has to make a part of the price difference, and the home appliance retailer also has to make money, plus tariffs, if you calculate it, the air After the fryer was put on the market, the price had to be sold for $500.

Li Weidong thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Hart, how much do you plan to buy? If you buy a considerable quantity, the price can be negotiated."

"I want to buy 3,000 units to try first. If the market can accept it, I will buy more." Hart said.

Li Weidong took out his calculator and calculated that 3,000 units is 990,000 dollars, so he said, "If you buy 3,000 units, I can charge you 960,000 dollars, which is equivalent to 320 dollars for one unit."

Hart frowned slightly, obviously feeling that the price was still very expensive,

Li Weidong went on to say: "Mr. Hart, if you are willing to buy 5,000 units, I can sell them to you for $300."

From 330 dollars to 300 dollars, it dropped 30 dollars all at once, which is equal to one-tenth of the price. This price reduction is very sincere.

Hart thought about it, although this price reduction is very sincere, but it has to buy 2,000 more units.

And this is a new type of household appliance, and Hart doesn't know how well the market will accept it, so he doesn't dare to take risks.

Li Weidong said: "Mr. Hart, you must have discovered that when you use an air fryer to fry things, you only need to put a little oil, which means that when you eat food cooked in an air fryer, the fat you ingest is only a bit less.

The obesity rate in the UK should be high right now, right? Obesity will bring many problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and high-fat diet will also bring cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as high blood pressure. Doctors recommend eating a low-fat, low-fat diet.

The food cooked in the air fryer happens to have less oil and less fat, which is healthier than traditional fried food. The food cooked in the air fryer can also reduce the generation of obesity, so the air fryer is a kind of Home appliances that are good for your health! "

Li Weidong said this, smiled slightly, and then said: "Mr. Hart, don't you think this is a good publicity stunt? New cooking tools, make a healthy diet! Health is priceless, a kind of can Cooking tools that bring healthy eating are more than a hundred pounds more expensive, and the public can accept it!”

Hart's eyes suddenly lit up. Once health-related matters were involved, even if it was just a gimmick with no practical significance, ordinary people were willing to pay more.

"Mr. Li, your promotional direction convinced me! Well, I ordered 5,000 units!" Hart said.

"Happy cooperation!" Li Weidong also stretched out his right hand.

Beside him, Kong Zhen stared blankly at this scene.

"What's the situation? What happened just now? What is the origin of this young guy! With these few words, he signed $1.5 million?"

The next second, Kong Zhen suddenly realized that this was the home appliance exhibition area.

Domestic appliances are exported and sold to developed countries!
