King of Industry

  Chapter 733 Bao Anjun's hard-working recommendation

  Abuja International Conference Center is one of the largest and most magnificent buildings in Nigeria.

   Here, many international conferences have been held, and it is a large-scale comprehensive conference center that Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, has always been proud of.

  Today, professionals from construction machinery and mining machinery from many countries around the world gathered here and integrated into this "West Africa International Construction Machinery and Mining Machinery Exhibition".

  In addition, leaders and businessmen of construction projects and mining development companies in Africa, especially in West Africa, have also come here to participate in such an industrial event.

  The purpose is naturally to introduce suitable machinery and equipment to enrich one's own business.

  Standing on a lonely booth with only two pieces of equipment, looking at the dazzling array of construction machinery and mining machinery and equipment around her, Zhang Yufang's face was stained with a blush.

Looking at Zhao Guoyang, who was sitting beside the old **** and looking around, she couldn't help but said: "Researcher Zhao, the opening ceremony is about to begin, do we really rely on two products to compete with others like this?" ? This... has almost no chance of winning!"

  When Zhao Guoyang heard the words, he sneered slightly and said, "Why, is there any better way, Mr. Zhang? We only have these two machines, so we can't ask other companies to borrow two machines, right?"

  Zhang Yufang also knew that what Zhao Guoyang said was reasonable, so she sighed and said: "Hey, if the organizer of the exhibition agrees to let us put the motorcycle up, it will be fine, and we can hold the stage to some extent!"

  Indeed, among the products transported by air like Zhao Guoyang, the number of motorcycles is the largest.

  Although some of them have been sold in Sudan, he still kept five or six of them as samples, in order to prevent people from asking for goods but not being able to get them out during subsequent visits to several countries.

  In Zhang Yufang's view, if she could put a few motorcycles on the booth of "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" here, at least it would not be so shabby.

  Seeing the gloomy look of Teacher Zhang, Zhao Guoyang smiled and comforted: "It's okay, Teacher Zhang. Later, if you feel embarrassed, just let me shout."

   "No, no, Mr. Zhao, I didn't mean that!"

  After listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, Zhang Yufang waved her hands again and again.

  She was just about to open her mouth to explain something more, but Zhao Guoyang's eyes turned to the podium in the center of the booth.

   "Well, let's not talk about this for now. It seems that the opening ceremony is about to begin. Let's see what Director Bao Anjun will say later!"

Because of the sudden arrival of the Huaxia trade and investment promotion group, after hearing that Bao Anjun, Zhao Guoyang and the others were interested in this "exhibition", Nigerian Minister of Commerce Adriel made an impromptu decision to let Director Bao Also show up at the exhibition and give a speech.

  Actually, in terms of rank, the China-Africa Trade and Investment Promotion Group can only be regarded as the main hall level at best, and it is far from the point where it needs the personal care of the Minister of Commerce of Nigeria.

  But because of the friendly relationship between China and African brothers, countries in the African region attach the most importance to the guests from China.

  Especially in the team led by head Bao Anjun this time, there are more than a dozen business executives and company executives in various business fields in China.

  Under such circumstances, Minister Adrielle must of course look at him differently.

   While Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang were communicating in low voices, on the podium in the center of the venue, Nigerian Minister of Commerce Adriel was already in place.

  After the introduction by the master of ceremonies, the big guy gave an opening speech to the exhibition with enthusiasm.

  Minister Adrielle's speech was not long, only seven or eight minutes.

He spoke welcome words in fluent French, and finally waved his hand, pointing to Bao Anjun who was standing not far behind and said: "Everyone, it's a great honor. When our exhibition is held this time, an important Chinese The trade and investment promotion group has also come to our Abuja!"

   "Huaxia and Nigeria have friendly relations with many countries in Africa, which is obvious to all. Next, I will ask Mr. Bao Anjun, the head of the trade and investment promotion group, to tell us a few words!"

   After Adrielle finished his introduction, there was a round of warm applause from the audience.

   It can be seen that the African brothers are still looking forward to the arrival of Huaxia, a trade and investment promotion group.

After taking the stage, Bao Anjun opened his voice after some polite words: "As we all know, Nigeria is an important market in Africa, and it is also a developing country with the fastest economic growth in the world. The economic growth rate in the past three years It's all around 10%."

   "As the second largest economic entity in Africa and the second largest consumer country after South Africa, Nigeria has extremely broad development prospects, and it is also one of our highly valued partners in Africa."

  “Nigeria is rich in mineral resources, including natural gas, oil, gold, antimony, iron ore, limestone, zinc, lead, etc. It is an important resource exporting country in the world.”

   "However, although Nigeria is rich in mineral resources, due to the lack of relevant development equipment, the development of underground minerals is still very limited, and the demand for mining equipment is very high." Speaking of this, Bao Anjun changed the subject.

   "In order to help Nigeria better develop mining resources, this time we, the "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" in the trade and investment promotion group of Huaxia, have brought two types of construction machinery that are very advanced and superior in performance in our country!"

   "I hope that these two devices, together with other exhibits at the exhibition, can help Nigeria, a vibrant emerging industrial country!"

  After Bao Anjun finished his speech, the audience naturally burst into polite applause.

   Among them, the applause of Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang was the most enthusiastic.

  Last night, after learning that Director Bao would give a speech for a few minutes at today's exhibition, Zhao Guoyang suddenly regained his spirits.

   It should be said that among the large number of machinery and equipment shipped to Africa by his own "Xingtai International" this time, the two products that Zhao Guoyang valued the most were the two products exhibited today.

   "Mine hoist SMS-GKT-MD series" naturally needless to say, this is a mid-end series of products that Zhao Guoyang is very confident that can enter the same type of international products.

  Compared with similar products from world-renowned companies such as "JCB" and "Caterpillar", this mine hoist of our own still has shortcomings such as insufficient workmanship and unstable absolute lifting force.

  However, with the technical improvement in some aspects such as electronic control, it is absolutely no problem to kill those second-tier brands in seconds.

Moreover, on the African continent, because the general economy is relatively backward, many mine owners and mining resource companies seldom buy expensive first-line brands in the procurement of mine hoists, just like "JCB" and "Caterpillar". Brands like "Le" are simply not sold in the African market.

  Even second-tier brands such as Oshkosh-JLG in Germany, Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea, and Fayat Group in France do not have a particularly high market share in Africa.

  Under such circumstances, Zhao Guoyang brought his "SMS company" mine hoist to Africa, just to grab this big piece of cake while the competition is not yet fierce.

   In terms of quality, Zhao Guoyang has nothing to worry about; in terms of cost performance, Zhao Guoyang has absolute confidence in his own products.

   In this way, there is only one problem left, and that is how to do a good job in marketing.

   Winning a booth at the exhibition is one aspect; on the other hand, if we can make good use of Director Bao's speech at the opening ceremony of the exhibition, it will undoubtedly play an icing on the cake.

  After thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang raised this request with Director Bao last night, and asked the leader to help him mention the product when he gave a speech tomorrow.

  Bao Anjun also clearly agreed to Zhao Guoyang's request.

   Originally, Zhao Guoyang thought that in his speech today, Director Bao would at most mention that there are manufacturers of mining equipment and construction machinery in his Huaxia Trade and Investment Promotion Group.

  Who knew that this leader spent so much space in advertising these two products of his own, and even named "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company".

   Zhao Guoyang is of course very grateful for Director Bao's face, and Zhang Yufang, who doesn't know why, is even more excited.

  Yesterday when Zhao Guoyang went to look for Bao Anjun, it was past eleven o'clock in the evening. Naturally, it was impossible for Zhang Yufang to follow, so that Zhang Yufang didn't know about some of the conversations between the two afterwards.

  At this time, after listening to Director Bao's praise of her "Xingtai International", Zhang Yufang couldn't hide the joy on her face.

   "Mr. Zhao, you pestered Director Bao for a long time yesterday, right? Otherwise, how could he recommend it so hard for us, Xingtai International?"

   Zhang Yufang, who couldn't help herself, couldn't hold back her excitement.

Zhao Guoyang shrugged noncommittally and said: "No, I chatted with Director Bao for about ten minutes yesterday. The reason why he was so helpful should be because our 'SMS-GKT-MD series' was approved by the State Machinery Electronics Co., Ltd. Has the Ministry of Industry listed it as a key product?"

   "Well, that's true!"

  Hearing this, Zhang Yufang nodded lightly and said, "In any case, this is all thanks to Mr. Zhao. Isn't it because of your face that the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry..."

  Zhao Guoyang was not very modest, he just pouted at Zhang Yufang and said, "See, Mr. Zhang, the master of ceremonies has announced that the exhibition has officially started."

   "Let's sing this show well!"

  At this moment, Zhang Yufang's previous apprehension had disappeared.

  Looking at the "LOGO" of several competitors such as "Komatsu Manufacturing Co., Ltd.", "Hyundai Heavy Industries" and so on, she nodded in agreement, secretly clenched her fists, and was ready to wrestle with each other.
