Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 620 The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys
The first Canton Fair was held in the former Central Building in the spring of 1957. Since the establishment of the Canton Fair, the business has developed rapidly, and higher requirements have been put forward for the venue for negotiation in the exhibition hall. For this reason, it has moved four times, and each relocation indicates that it is moving towards With a higher scale, the supporting service facilities of the guild hall are also constantly improving.

From the spring of 1974, the Canton Fair was moved to the Liuhua Road Exhibition Hall, and until October 2008, the Liuhua Road Exhibition Hall was the host address of the Canton Fair.

The Liuhua Road Exhibition Hall is located at the intersection of four main roads in Guangzhou. It can be said to be the most prosperous golden location at that time. The transportation is convenient and people gather. It was one of the top exhibition halls in China at that time.

After a whole week of training, Duan Yun and his party finally entered the hall of the exhibition hall as factory representatives.

Duan Yun's products were placed in the machinery exhibition hall, but the booth made Duan Yun frowned.

It turns out that there are nearly 400 products from more than 600 domestic manufacturers in the exhibition area of ​​the machinery hall on the floor where Duan Yun is located, most of which are mainly machine tool and heavy industrial machinery products, and most of them here are products of enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of Machinery , in the meeting on the product layout of the exhibition hall, the Machinery Department has the absolute right to speak, and the mechanical products produced by the Ministry of Light Industry, such as Duan Yun, have become the children of the stepmother and are placed at the back of the exhibition hall. In an unobtrusive corner, the booth is less than 10 square meters. The Longteng gearbox is placed on the table in the middle, and there is a promotional board on the back, which is printed with the factory name of Duan Yun Labor Service Company. The only thing that stands out is the background board of the booth. Apart from the medal pattern of the National High Quality Gold Award, there is nothing else that can attract attention.

"Director Liu, the products of our factory have won the National Gold Medal at least. Let's not talk about giving our factory such a small booth. The place is so remote. It is estimated that there will not be a few foreign businessmen coming to the corner of the exhibition hall in a day. Looking at the products of our factory, isn't this clearly cheating our factory?"

Seeing Liu Jiang, Director of the Provincial Department of Light Industry, who came to participate in the Autumn Canton Fair this time, walk into the Machinery Hall, Duan Yun immediately walked up to him to complain.

As the highest person in charge sent by the Provincial Department of Light Industry for this exhibition, Liu Jiang is mainly responsible for the related matters related to the participation of the light industry products in the province. In the previous meeting held by the exhibition organizer, Liu Jiang was also the representative The light industry enterprises of SX Province participated in the meeting and assisted the organizer in formulating specific exhibition matters.

"Comrade Duan Yun, you need to change your attitude. What do you mean by cheating your factory? Do you know how many manufacturers in China will fight for a corner booth in order to participate in the Canton Fair?" Liu Jiangwen heard Yan suddenly frowned, and only heard him continue: "Your factory is very lucky to have the opportunity to participate in this Canton Fair. Maybe the location of the booth is not very good, but as the saying goes, the wine is not afraid of deep alleys. ,Gold will always shine……"

"What do you mean that the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley?" Duan Yun's face suddenly flashed sullen when he heard the words, and he continued: "Director Liu, please go to the exhibition hall to have a look. There are more than 600 products in the whole hall, and those are also obtained. I will not talk about the products that have won the National Gold Medal, but why some products that have won the Silver Medal, or even those that have not won the National Quality Award, can be placed in the front row of booths! Anyway, the products of our factory are also the National Gold Medal , it became raised by the stepmother, and it was placed in such a corner, and you look at this booth, it is such a small place, our factory plus I have a total of 4 people, even a table and a chair None, how do you want us to talk about business?"

Duan Yun usually keeps a low profile and would not quarrel with his superiors easily, but this time is different, he finally got a chance to participate in the Canton Fair, and Duan Yun also hopes to turn his Longteng gearbox products into foreign exchange earning a turnaround , Director Rui and Chief Yang were watching him, and he was under a lot of pressure, so he didn't hold back when facing Director Liu this time.

As for director Liu's words that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, in Duan Yun's view, it is completely nonsense. This is completely Liu Jiang's prevarication and fooling himself. The products of his small factory did not have any advertisements or exposure before. How could a foreigner know about the products of Duanyun Factory?If we still believe that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, then this society will not need to advertise on TV, newspapers and periodicals. Things like booths seem to be small things, but in Duan Yun's view, they are of great importance. Now A small foreign trade order can determine the future fate of their factory, so even if Duan Yun contradicts his superiors at this juncture, he must fight. Some things cannot be disputed, and you can't even drink soup.

"Comrade Duan Yun, please pay attention to your attitude!" Liu Jiang was obviously a little annoyed at the tone of Duan Yun's words to him. He didn't expect that Duan Yun, the manager of a small group, would dare to contradict him like this.

"It's okay to ask me to pay attention to my attitude, but you can't cheat our factory like this!" Duan Yun's tone did not soften at all, and he continued: "Last time I went to BJ to participate in the National Quality Awards Ceremony, and we Yang The chief also had a face-to-face meeting. Chief Yang himself had high expectations for the Longteng gearbox products of our factory. He hoped that the gearboxes of our factory could become a new breakthrough for our department to earn foreign exchange through exports, and he has been paying attention to the development of our factory. Originally, this Canton Fair was a good opportunity, but now we are facing such unfair treatment. If our factory’s products do not get export orders this time, I will definitely go to BJ to report this situation to Chief Yang when I have a chance later!”

Duan Yun knew that he was a low-key manager of a small group, so he simply lifted Chief Yang out.

And what he said is true. Chief Yang did have an interview with him, and he also said that he would pay attention to the development of their factory. Things come out.

"Chairman Yang talked to you?" Sure enough, after hearing Duan Yun's words, Liu Jiang asked Duan Yun with a frown.

"At that time, Director Rui of our Municipal Bureau of Light Industry was with me. If you don't believe me, you can call Director Rui and ask if this matter is true." Duan Yun raised his brows and said.

"Xiao Rui is here too?" Hearing this, Liu Jiang was startled.

Although Ruiyang is only the director of the Municipal Bureau, the leaders of the Provincial Department of Light Industry know him well. If Chief Yang met Duan Yun alone, Liu Jiang would be skeptical, but if there is Ruiyang in the middle, Then this matter is highly credible.
