Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 626

In the machinery exhibition hall in the morning, something unexpected happened to the organizer. The heavy equipment mainly sold at the front desk was not cared about at all. On the contrary, the booth of Longteng Gearbox located in the corner of the exhibition hall was always very lively, from the opening of the exhibition hall until 12:[-] noon. Before the start of lunch, the foreign guests never stopped.

Zhang Xiulan and Yu Shulan dressed up beautifully, shuttled in front of the booth like butterflies, Duan Yun even spoke a standard "Oxford accent", and brought the foreign guests from other units to the booth of his factory with a few words. The coffee was brewed one pot after another. Xiao Liang went back and forth to the store twice, and bought a whole box of coffee for the last time.

However, what disappointed Duan Yun was that although he kept attracting a large number of merchants to his booth, he never got an order. Basically, all foreign merchants left after listening to Duan Yun's product introduction. When I received a leaflet, there was no more text.

Not only was the order not secured, but the representatives of the manufacturers at other booths in the machinery hall also felt contemptuous and dissatisfied with Duan Yun's behavior of using tricks to solicit customers. , but helpless. After all, there are only a few translators in the entire mechanical hall, and the representatives of the manufacturers do not understand English. Occasionally, a few can only speak simple English. This is obviously not comparable to Duan Yun's standard "Oxford accent". This is a major national foreign trade event, they dare not scold Duan Yun, let alone hit Duan Yun, so even if they are dissatisfied, they can only watch helplessly, with a helpless look on their faces.

As a result, during the temporary break for lunch at noon, representatives of various manufacturers in the machinery exhibition hall complained to the leaders of the organizer.

"Director Yang, this Shanxi Daxing Red Star Labor Service Company is outrageous! The representatives of other companies in our machinery exhibition hall strictly followed the rules of the venue, but he was lucky enough to take the merchants away from the translators and set up a special reception desk. , this is obviously a violation of rules by playing tricks!"

"That's right, Director Yang, look at the two women at their booth, they are so beautifully dressed, they don't look serious at first glance! They really damage the image of the country!"

"In the morning, there were a lot of foreign businessmen who were very interested in the products at our booth, but this kid forced those foreign guests to their booth with a few words, and we didn't get a single order. Last year, we exported 20 How about million-dollar merchandise..."

"It's outrageous. Letting two women with heavy make-up forcibly lure foreign businessmen over there and rely on their beauty to attract attention. This is what capitalism is all about!"

In the canteen of the guest house, representatives of several manufacturers in the machinery exhibition hall gathered around Yang Hongbin, deputy director of the Canton Fair Secretariat, and complained.

"Is there such a thing?" Yang Hongbin frowned when he heard this.

"It's absolutely true! If you don't believe Director Yang, go and see for yourself this afternoon." A manufacturer representative next to him said.

"Okay, I'll check the situation in the afternoon. If there is a problem, I will correct the manufacturer's representative." Yang Hongbin said.

"Then trouble Director Yang." The representatives of several other manufacturers present dispersed after hearing the words...

……

Duan Yun didn't get an order all morning. Although Duan Yun was a little depressed, the east side was not lit, but the west side was lit. The order for off-site speakers still gave Duan Yun a big surprise.

In just one morning, nearly 300 people from Cao Dong left their willingness to buy subwoofer speakers, and they all left their work and home addresses for future delivery. It is undoubtedly a great encouragement.

Duan Yun’s original plan was that if nearly 500 subwoofer speakers can be sold at this Canton Fair, then his next step will be to set up an office in Guangzhou, rent or buy a house there, and then buy from the local Some companies in the company lease some abandoned warehouses. In this way, they can directly transport products to Guangzhou for storage and sales by rail freight, thereby expanding the sales of Tianyin Electronics Factory in the southern market.

As for Tianyin Audio's agent in Guangzhou, Duan Yun intends to hand it over to Gao Lei. After all, he travels between Daxing and Guangzhou all year round, and he is also very familiar with the local area of ​​Guangzhou, especially the electronic and electrical markets and commercial streets. There are many bosses, so that Tianyin Audio can quickly spread sales points in Guangzhou.

Now it seems that Duan Yun is very close to achieving this goal. If there are no accidents this afternoon, the order for speakers should exceed 100 units, and this is only their first day of participation in the Canton Fair. It is sold to individuals. If there are local electronic dealers who can wholesale, then the number of orders will be very considerable.

With the pre-sale order, it means that Duan Yun's Tianyin Electronics Factory will start to make money. When the Canton Fair is over and he returns to Daxing, he will quickly start his own electronics factory and produce at the fastest speed. Subwoofer speaker.

Although Duan Yun was very happy that his speaker products were so popular at the Canton Fair, he was still under pressure because he knew that no matter what, the Red Star Labor Service Company was his base. Whether to export not only determines the future development of the company, but will also affect the future operation of his Tianyin Electronics Factory.

Because if Duan Yun’s current Tianyin Electronics Factory is established, the raw materials must be purchased from three local electronics factories in Daxing. In addition, his factory is also rented by a labor service company. The leaders here may not take such good care of him. Once his neck is stuck in raw materials, the future production and development of Duan Yun's Tianyin Electronics Factory will face very big difficulties.

Therefore, in Duan Yun's view, "export earning foreign exchange" is a talisman. Only enterprises that can solve a large number of local labor force and generate rich tax revenue and export earning foreign exchange will receive key protection and care from the local area. The private enterprises he developed will not be easily taken by some Targeting local people with ulterior motives is an unspoken rule that Duan Yun must not ignore. He must keep a clear head.

After the exhibition hall was reopened in the afternoon, Duan Yun's group of four continued to work hard to attract foreign guests, and there was always a strong aroma of coffee in front of the booth.

"Duan Yun, come here." Not long after the exhibition hall opened in the afternoon, Director Liu of the Provincial Department of Light Industry walked over with a straight face, waved to Duan Yun, and signaled the two to go to the corner to talk.
