industrial overlord

Chapter 153
Regarding the promotion of Wuye fans, Zhao Liankui agreed very happily, but after the exhibition ended the next day, what he brought to Lin Zhenhua who was standing outside the venue was still a sad news.During the exhibition on this day, only three merchants inquired about the water lily fan.These three people are not home appliance sellers. They went to the booth in Jiangnan Province to inquire about the market of tungsten mines.

With a stiff smile on Lin Zhenhua's face, he still invited Zhao Liankui to the restaurant to have a good meal, and asked him to continue helping the next day.After sending Zhao Liankui away, Lin Zhenhua felt physically and mentally exhausted. He sat down on the curb by the side of the road, staring at the passing vehicles, and became dazed.

"Xiaohua, don't be discouraged." Chu Hongyang knelt down to persuade him.

"Hongyang, give me a cigarette." Lin Zhenhua said.

Chu Hongyang took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Lin Zhenhua, then took out a lighter and lit it, intending to light a cigarette for Lin Zhenhua.Lin Zhenhua waved his hand, indicating that Chu Hongyang didn't want to smoke. He just put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it gently, hoping to clear his mind with the scent of tobacco.

No one pays attention to the five-leaf fan!This news was really shocking to Lin Zhenhua.He has spent so much effort on this product, and has already made a series of other arrangements after the five-blade fan is successfully exported.If the fan really can't enter the international market, all the layout behind him will come to naught.

Could it be that my gold finger is so fragile that it will be smashed to pieces at the Canton Fair?
Chu Hongyang continued to persuade: "Xiaohua, I think it may be reasonable for foreigners to look down on our electric fans. They come here mainly because of our ore and agricultural products such as bristles. Our country The industry is not good, and people know it. In fact, our electric fans don’t have to be exported, and if they are sold in the domestic market, can’t they also make money?”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Hongyang, selling and selling in the domestic market is just for our own people to earn their own money. Only by exporting is to earn other people's money. You are right, foreigners are now looking at ours. Ore, as well as agricultural products. Have you ever thought about it? Ore is something that is dug less and less. Our generation has sold all the ore. What will our children and grandchildren sell in the future? If we as a country can only rely on selling We use ore to survive, and when the ore is dug out, don’t we have to live?”

Chu Hongyang said: "Xiaohua, I also understand what you said. But, we are in such a situation now, what can we do?"

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "No, I always feel that something is wrong. I have poured so much effort into this five-leaf fan, and there is no reason why it cannot be sold. Foreigners are human, and there are good things, why don't they want them?"

Schumann has been standing by their side, listening to their conversation, and then he interrupted and said, "Manager Lin, there is something I haven't bothered to tell you today. Director Zhao was present just now, and I didn't It’s convenient to say. In fact, no one cares about your fans, the problem is not with the fans, but with you Director Zhao.”

"What did you say?" Lin Zhenhua stood up abruptly, stretched out his hand to hold Schumann's hand and said, "Please explain clearly, why is Director Zhao the problem?"

Schumann pulled his hand back vigorously, glared at him, and said, "Why are you so hard to learn, you insist on learning from that Zhao, and take advantage of others at every turn?"

Only then did Lin Zhenhua realize that he had lost his composure, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. In fact, I really didn't feel anything when I held your hand just now."

Schumann was even more annoyed: "What are you talking about, am I so unattractive? You can't feel it when you hold my hand?"

"I feel it, ah, no, I still don't feel it...Forget it, I will hold your hand, just like holding a kind old grandmother, and my whole body will be warm, okay?" Lin Zhenhua said angrily: "Grandma , When is this, you still care about this with me. Tell me quickly, why is the problem with Director Zhao?"

Schumann pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and said: "Today, I accompanied an American guest to the exhibition hall. When passing by your exhibition area in Jiangnan Province, I specifically looked for our five-leaf fan. As a result, I saw the five-leaf fan hidden in In a small corner, people passing by can’t see it at all. Tell me, even I searched for a long time before I saw it, can other merchants see it?”

"Is this true?" Lin Zhenhua asked eagerly.

"of course it's true."

"This guy named Zhao, I'll kill you!" Lin Zhenhua swears.

Shuman said: "Manager Lin, in fact, he can't be blamed for this. I noticed that your Jiangnan Province exhibition area is not big, but you have a lot of things to exhibit. For light industrial products, your main product is craft woodcarving , Almost the entire booth is full of various wood carving products. Not only your fans, but other products are placed in places that are not very eye-catching. I think Director Zhao also has his own difficulties."

"How could they do this?" Chu Hongyang said angrily, "It's clear that they can help us recommend."

Lin Zhenhua had calmed down at this time, and he said slowly: "I understand what Miss Shu said. Indeed, Zhao Liankui also has his difficulties. After all, the craft woodcarving factory is a big foreign exchange earner in the hall. It is reasonable to give them, if Zhao Liankui puts our things out, it will be favoritism instead."

Shuman said: "It's best for Manager Lin to think like this. After I saw your Jiangnan Province exhibition area, I went to other provinces' exhibition areas to look at it, and found that they are all similar. Basically, each province focuses on its own traditional handicrafts. , mineral products, and agricultural products. There are also some industrial products, but light industrial products such as electric fans are generally kept aside, and they are not so much for participating in the exhibition as they are here to support.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "I understand. I won't blame Zhao Liankui. He is also doing his own thing. In fact, Xie Chunyan told me long ago that craft wood carving is the focus of this exhibition. Zhao Liankui Even if you eat my meal, you don't dare to spoil the important affairs of the Qinghua Hall."

"Then what are you going to do?" Schumann asked, "Why don't you ask this lady to show off her charm again, ask Zhao to give you a break, and recommend more five-leaf electric fans?"

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "Thank you, Ms. Shu, but the situation is not so bad that you need to sacrifice yourself. I think we will have a solution."

Schumann snorted, and said, "Don't say it so ugly, what is dedication, I'm just going to show off my charm. You are like this, what else can you do besides asking someone surnamed Zhao? Although I haven't resigned to join The company, but I already feel in my heart that I am a member of this company, and I should make some contributions to the company."

Lin Zhenhua said: "It is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself. At the beginning, the product was handed over to the Light Chemical Hall for unified exhibition. There was a hidden danger in itself. I figured it out. Even if Zhao Liankui can give our five-leaf fan a better position, other merchants I saw it, and he came to understand the situation, but he couldn’t explain it clearly, and we would lose our market opportunity in the end.”

"I think so." Chu Hongyang said, "You see, he can't even call out our fan's name. If you ask him to explain, it will definitely be useless."

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's good too. It's a dangerous move to force my brother to die."

Schumann was startled: "Manager Lin, what are you going to do?"

Lin Zhenhua didn't answer, but stood by the side of the road, looking at the night sky and thinking nervously.He already has a prototype of the plan in his mind, but needs to further refine the details.As a graduate student majoring in mechanics, he is used to considering things as precisely as mechanical transmissions.

Seeing his serious look, Schuman and Chu Hongyang didn't dare to disturb him, they just stood aside and whispered.

"Mr. Chu, what is your Manager Lin thinking about?"

"He's thinking about something, let's not bother him."

"Is he always like this?"

"No, he will only do this when he encounters particularly difficult things. However, every time he thinks about it, he can always come up with a brilliant solution."

"Mr. Chu, I think your manager Lin is really a god."

"Of course he is a god. By the way, Miss Shu, can you stop calling me Mr. Chu? I'm not used to it."

"What do you call you? Could it be Chief Chu?"

"You can just call me Xiao Chu, or you can call me Hong Yang."

"Then don't call me Miss Shu, I have a name, you can call me Xiaoman."

"..."

The more the two of them talked, the closer they got. Lin Zhenhua had gone through his plan in his head several times, and felt that it was basically feasible.He turned around and said to Schumann: "Schumann, go and help me with something right away. It's very urgent. I don't have any more people in Guangzhou, so I can only rely on you."

"Tell me, as long as I can do it." Schumann responded quickly.

"Go and find me a device called an inverter." Lin Zhenhua said, he then told Schumann the specifics of the inverter, and finally said: "What I want is such a thing, but I don’t know where I can find it now, so you can use your resources to find it.”

Schumann nodded: "No problem, I have a lot of friends in Guangzhou, and I can always find them."

After Schumann left, Lin Zhenhua said to Chu Hongyang: "Come on, Hongyang, let's go back to the venue and step on the spot first."

Chu Hongyang was startled: "Xiaohua, what are you going to do? Why do you have to step on the spot?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Didn't I say that it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. It seems that there is no hope to sell five-leaf fans in the exhibition hall of the Canton Fair. Let's sell them outside the venue. Let's go outside the venue immediately. What is the most suitable place for us to set up a stall, tomorrow we will transport all the dozens of electric fans, and I will sell them along the street."
