Chapter 163 Canton Fair water is deep

It is definitely impossible for a township collective enterprise in the district to participate in an exhibition of the Canton Fair level. If it is replaced by someone else, there is definitely no room for negotiation.

  But Li Weidong is different. Last year, Li Weidong relied on a tertiary industry enterprise to successfully obtain a large order from Wal-Mart, which surprised everyone.

  If only there is a glorious record, it is better to make Ma Dexing compromise, Li Weidong has the ability to directly find Gordon to promote the product, that is the real killer.

  Before, Ma Dexing did not think of this. After all, in China at the time, the companies involved in foreign trade were all state-owned enterprises.

  For state-owned enterprises that follow the rules, if they are not allowed to participate in the Canton Fair, they will only stay at home honestly and will never cause trouble.

  But Li Weidong is different. He is an unruly outlier. If he can't participate in the Canton Fair, it is absolutely impossible to stay honestly. Li Weidong will definitely come directly to Gordon to promote this kind of thing.

  What's more, Li Weidong and Gordon are old acquaintances. It is easier to meet people you know. People who have had business dealings will have more trust in each other when they talk about business again.

  Once Li Weidong directly approached Gordon to promote products, it would be equivalent to bypassing the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Department.

  Last year, Li Weidong promoted flax car seat cushions. This is the case. He directly signed an order of 3.5 million US dollars with Gordon through the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and Ma Dexing picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons.

  Ma Dexing is an excellent saint warrior who will not be knocked down twice by the same move. Since Li Weidong has the ability to directly ask Gordon to sell, it is better to sell a favor and let Li Weidong participate in the Canton Fair.

  At the Canton Fair, if Li Weidong can really sell the products and complete the task of earning foreign exchange through export, Ma Dexing can also be credited.

   And if Li Weidong’s products cannot be sold, Ma Dexing has no loss. Anyway, there are countless manufacturers who cannot sell products at the Canton Fair. It does not matter if there is one more or one less.

   But if Li Weidong asked Gordon to sell in private, and he actually signed the order, then Ma Dexing’s credit would fly away.

  For Ma Dexing, the quota for participating in the Canton Fair belongs to the public, but the credit for exporting foreign exchange is his own. How to choose is self-evident!

  ……

  After fixing the quota for the Canton Fair, Li Weidong returned to Qinghe and began to prepare for the production of air fryer.

  The Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory has been built, and the equipment has been shipped. The technology is still the same, and the workers are still those workers. If it is to produce the electric furnace and heat up quickly, it can be produced at any time.

  Whether it is an electric stove or heats quickly, the structure is very simple, nothing more than the power supply connected to the heating device. The heating device of the electric furnace is a resistance wire, and the heating device that heats quickly is a heating rod. In addition, the electric furnace has a base made of high aluminum material, which can withstand high temperatures.

  The air fryer is also connected to a heating device with a power supply, and is equipped with an electric fan with a shell outside. For the workers in the electric furnace factory, this is nothing more than connecting a few more wires and tightening a few more screws.

  The primary version of the air fryer looks very simple, it can also be said that it is not beautiful at all, at least it is much ugly compared to the air fryer of later generations.

  A square box with only two buttons on it, all of which are mechanical. One is the power switch button, and the other is the button to control the heating temperature. There is no timing. There is no temperature control equipment inside, and the temperature is adjusted manually by yourself.

  Li Weidong in his last life was in the small home appliance business. Of course, he knew what was beautiful and generous, but due to time constraints, Li Wendong did not customize those beautiful and generous shells.

  And Li Weidong feels that the first-generation products do not need to have the most fashionable appearance, nor do they need to provide the highest formulation.

  Household appliances should be like a CPU or a graphics card, squeeze toothpaste a little bit, and then carry out a small upgrade after a period of time, launch new products, and squeeze a batch of consumers' wool. Then discount the old products, not only to clear the stock, but also to seize the market by the way.

  The outer shell of the first-generation air fryer is also made of metal. Li Weidong originally wanted to use plastics, but in 1988, China's petrochemical industry was not developed, suitable materials were difficult to find, and many of them had to be imported.

  Such as heat-resistant ABS resin, heat-resistant polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate and glass fiber composites, these are heat-resistant plastics commonly used in later generations, and they are not easy to find in 1988.

  In addition, the processing of plastics is also a problem. In the 1980s, China was relatively backward in the mechanical field, and could only produce the lowest-end injection molding machines and blow molding machines. However, all middle-grade plastic processing machinery had to rely on imports.

  At that time, metal enclosures were easier to obtain than plastic enclosures. As for the problem of heat conduction by metal, Li Weidong ignored it, and the oven did not have a thermal insulation layer, which did not delay use.

  ……

  While Li Weidong was busy with the production of the air fryer, Liu Tong once again visited the clothing factory of the transportation company.

  Liu Tong also heard that the transportation company had taken the garment factory back. He was worried that the suspension of production would again affect the future foreign exchange earnings from exports, so he decided to personally inspect the garment factory.

  For the results of the inspection, Liu Tong is still satisfied. The garment factory's production has not stalled, the production of linen car seat cushions and wool car seat cushions has not been affected at all, and the quality of the products is exactly the same as before, completely reaching the previous export level.

  Liu Tong immediately relaxed. Although the garment factory was taken back by the transportation company and the factory director was changed, the garment factory can still produce normally and maintain product quality, and its ability to earn foreign exchange through exports has not been affected.

  As long as it can guarantee foreign exchange earning through export, Liu Tongcai doesn't care whether the garment factory is a contract system or not, let alone who will be the director of the factory.

"This year's Canton Fair is about to begin. I was worried that your garment factory's change of command will affect production and thus foreign exchange earnings from exports. Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary." Liu Tong said with a face. Said lightly.

   Zhu Shicong, who accompanied the inspection next to him, immediately said: "Leaders, please rest assured, our transportation company will make every effort to guarantee the production of the garment factory!"

Yang Peng also stepped forward and reported: "The Municipal Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has already reported the name of our factory. Recently, our factory is also preparing for the Canton Fair. At the Canton Fair last April, our factory successfully exported Earn 4 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange, and our goal this year is 5 million U.S. dollars!"

"Five million in the first half of the year, and another five million in the second half of the year, it would be 10 million dollars for the whole year!" Liu Tong's face suddenly showed joy, and he patted Yang Peng on the shoulder with a look of earnestness. Said: "Mr. Yang, work hard to earn more foreign exchange for the country's exports!"

  "The leadership's instructions must be completed!" Yang Peng said quickly.

  Liu Tong nodded in satisfaction, and then said; “Director Yang, if your factory can get an order of 10 million US dollars for the two Canton Fairs this year, I will nominate you as a model worker at the end of the year!”

  ……

  Finally, it’s time for the Canton Fair again.

  Before the start of the Canton Fair, Li Weidong came to the venue in advance as usual to take a look at the layout of the exhibits.

  As soon as he walked to the entrance of the exhibition hall, Li Weidong met an acquaintance, Yang Peng, the director of the clothing factory of the transportation company.

  Li Weidong greeted him with a smile: "Director Yang, come to see the layout of the exhibition!"

   "Li Weidong, why are you here!" Yang Peng exclaimed.

   "Just like you, come to the Canton Fair!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

  Yang Peng's face changed suddenly. He screamed and said: "Li Weidong, you are too shameless, you came to steal my business!"

   "Snatch your business?" Li Weidong was stunned, and then immediately realized that Yang Peng thought he was also here to sell car seat cushions.

  Last year’s Li Weidong used car seat cushions to grab 8.5 million US dollars. It is absolutely reasonable to say that after Li Weidong left the transportation company, he will build a company to produce car seat cushions.

   "Li Weidong, I heard that you went into the sea a long time ago, and thought you went to other places to make a fortune, but I didn't expect you to go around and grab business with me!" Yang Peng said angrily.

   "Director Yang, don't think too much, I am not here to sell linen car seat cushions this time." Li Weidong replied.

  "You sold me imported equipment and couldn't produce linen car cushions, so you only sell wool car cushions?" Yang Peng's mind is full of car cushions.

   "I don't sell woolen car cushions either." Li Weidong then added: "No matter what kind of car cushions, I won't sell them. Don't you worry?"

   "Are you really here to grab my business?" Yang Peng confirmed again.

  Li Weidong sighed helplessly, and said: "Your car cushion is in the special cushion exhibition area, and my products are in the household appliances exhibition area. We are not in the same exhibition area at all. How can I grab your business!"

   "It's not an exhibition area, so good!" Yang Peng let out a sigh of relief.

  Li Weidong went on to say, “Director Yang, don’t be lucky too early. The water in the cushion exhibition area is very deep. The business of car cushions may not be that easy to do!”

   "Whether the business is good or not, the key is to see who is doing the business!" Yang Peng curled his lips, and said humbly.

Li Weidong was too lazy to argue with Yang Peng. He said, "Director Yang, I have been to this venue many times. I am familiar with it. I went in first, and you walked slowly. By the way, go to my one when you have time. Walk around the booth!"

  Li Weidong finished speaking and walked into the exhibition hall first.

   "If you can't eat grapes, say grapes are sour!" Yang Peng snorted and walked into the exhibition hall of the Canton Fair.

  Yang Peng first looked at the layout map in front of the door, and then followed the signs to find the cushion exhibition area.

  The scene that appeared in front of him made Yang Peng unable to help but rub his eyes to confirm whether he was dazzled.

  Looking around, the entire booth in the cushion exhibition area is densely placed, all of which are car cushions!
