Chapter 162 The Canton Fair is very deep
It is definitely impossible for a township collective enterprise to participate in an exhibition of the level of the Canton Fair. If it was someone else, there would definitely be no room for negotiation.
But Li Weidong is different. Last year, Li Weidong relied on a tertiary industry enterprise to successfully get a large order from Wal-Mart, which surprised everyone.
If there is only a glorious record, it is not enough to make Ma Dexing compromise, Li Weidong has the ability to directly find Gordon to sell products, that is the real killer.
Ma Dexing did not think of this before. After all, in China at that time, all enterprises involved in foreign trade were state-owned enterprises, and state-owned enterprises were disciplined and disciplined.
For state-owned enterprises that follow the rules, if they are not allowed to participate in the Canton Fair, then they will just stay at home honestly, and there will never be another incident.
But Li Weidong is different. He is an unruly alien. If he can't participate in the Canton Fair, it is absolutely impossible to stay honest. Li Weidong will definitely go directly to Gordon to sell this kind of thing.
What's more, Li Weidong and Gordon are old acquaintances, and it is easier to meet people they know. People who have had business dealings before will have more trust in each other when they talk about business again.
Once Li Weidong goes directly to Gordon to sell products, it is equivalent to bypassing the Office of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. If an order is actually negotiated, it has nothing to do with the Office of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.
Last year, Li Weidong sold linen car seat cushions. This is the case. He directly signed an order of US$3.5 million with Gordon through the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and Ma Dexing chose sesame seeds and lost watermelons.
Ma Dexing is an excellent Saint Seiya and won't be knocked down twice by the same move. Since Li Weidong has the ability to sell directly to Gordon, 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 his products and complete the task of earning foreign exchange through exports, Ma Dexing will also be credited with a credit.
And if Li Weidong's products can't be sold, Ma Dexing has nothing to lose. Anyway, there are countless manufacturers who can't sell products at the Canton Fair, and it doesn't matter if there are more or less.
But if Li Weidong asked Gordon to sell in private, and he actually signed the contract, then Ma Dexing's credit would fly away.
For Ma Dexing, the number of places to participate in the Canton Fair is public, but the credit for exporting foreign exchange is his own. How to choose is self-evident!
...
After securing the quota for the Canton Fair, Li Weidong returned to Qinghe and began to fully prepare for the production of air fryers.
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 electric furnaces and heat fast, they can be produced at any time.
Whether it is an electric stove or a fast heating, the structure is very simple, nothing more than connecting the power supply to the heating device. The heating device of the electric furnace is a resistance wire, and the heating device that heats up quickly is a heating rod. In addition, the electric furnace also has a base, which is made of high aluminum material and can withstand high temperatures.
The air fryer is also connected to the power supply to the heating device, coupled with an electric fan, and covered with a shell. For the workers of 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, and it can be said that it is not beautiful at all, at least compared with the air fryers of later generations, it is too ugly.
A boxy box with only two buttons on it, all mechanical. One is the power switch button, the other is the button to control the heating temperature, and there is no timing. There is no temperature control device inside, and the temperature is manually adjusted by yourself.
Li Weidong in his last life was in the small home appliance business. Of course, he knew what beauty is, but due to the urgency of time, Li Wendong did not customize those beautiful and generous shells.
Moreover, Li Weidong felt that there was no need to provide the most fashionable appearance for the first generation of products, nor was it necessary to provide the highest formulation.
Household appliances should be squeezed a little bit of toothpaste like a CPU or a graphics card.
After a period of time, a small upgrade will be carried out, new products will be launched, and a batch of consumers' wool will be harvested. Then give a discount on old products, not only to clear the warehouse, but also to seize the market by the way.
The shell of the first generation air fryer was also made of metal. Li Weidong originally wanted to use plastic, but in 1988, China's petrochemical industry was not developed, suitable materials were difficult to find, and many had to be imported.
Such as heat-resistant abs resin, heat-resistant polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate and glass fiber composites, these are commonly used heat-resistant plastics in later generations, and they were not easy to find in 1988.
In addition, the processing of plastics is also a problem. In the 1980s, China was still relatively backward in the field of machinery. It could only produce the lowest-end injection molding machines and blow molding machines, but all medium-grade plastic processing machinery had to rely on imports.
At that time, metal casings were easier to get than plastic casings. As for the problem that metal would conduct heat, Li Weidong ignored it, and the oven did not have a thermal insulation layer, so it 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 back the garment factory. He was worried that production would stop again, which would affect future foreign exchange earnings through exports, so he decided to visit the garment factory in person.
Liu Tong is still satisfied with the results of the inspection. The production of the garment factory has not been stagnant, and the production of linen car seat cushions and wool car seat cushions has not been affected at all.
Liu Tong immediately felt relieved. Although the garment factory was taken back by the transportation company and the factory manager was changed, the garment factory can still produce normally, the product quality can be maintained, and the ability to earn foreign exchange through exports has not been affected.
Liu Tongcai doesn't care whether the garment factory is contracted or not, let alone who is the director of the factory, as long as it can guarantee export earnings.
This year's Canton Fair is about to start. I was worried that your garment factory's change of coaches will affect production and thus foreign exchange earnings through exports. Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary. Liu Tong said with a face Said easily.
Zhu Shicong, who accompanied the inspection, immediately said: Leaders, please rest assured, our transportation company will make every effort to ensure the production of the garment factory!
Yang Peng also stepped forward and opened his mouth to report: The Municipal Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has reported the name of our factory. Recently, our factory has been making every effort to prepare for the Canton Fair. At the Canton Fair last April, our factory successfully exported. Earning 4 million US dollars in foreign exchange, our goal this year is 5 million US dollars!”

Five million in the first half of the year, and if there is another five million in the second half of the year, it will be ten million dollars for the whole year! said: Director Yang, work hard to earn more foreign exchange for the country's exports!
Be sure to complete the leader's instructions! Yang Peng said quickly.
Liu Tong nodded with satisfaction, and then said, Director Yang, if your factory can win an order of 10 million US dollars in the two Canton Fairs this year, I will nominate you as a city labor model 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 ahead of schedule 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 garment factory of the transportation company.
Li Weidong greeted him with a smile: Director Yang, let's take a look at the layout of the exhibition!
Li Weidong, why are you here! Yang Peng exclaimed.
Like you, come to the Canton Fair! Li Weidong said with a smile.
Yang Peng's face changed greatly, and he screamed: Li Weidong, you are too shameless, you came to steal my business!
Stealing your business? Li Weidong was stunned for a while, but then he understood immediately that Yang Peng thought he was also here to sell car seat cushions.
Last year's Li Weidong, who used car seat cushions to smash 8.5 million US dollars, to say that after Li Weidong left the transportation company, he will set up a business to produce car seat cushions, which is definitely a reasonable speculation.
Li Weidong, I heard that you went to sea a long time ago. I thought you went to other places to make a fortune, but I didn't expect you to come and grab business with me! Yang Peng said indignantly.
Director Yang, don't think too much, I'm not here to sell linen car seat cushions this time. Li Weidong replied.
You sold me imported equipment, and you can't produce linen car seat cushions, so you only sell wool car seat cushions? Yang Peng's mind was full of car seat cushions.
I don't sell wool car seat cushions either. Li Weidong added: No matter what kind of car seat cushions it is, I won't sell it. Now you can rest assured?
You really didn't come to steal my business? Yang Peng confirmed again.
Li Weidong sighed helplessly and said, Your car seat cushion is in the special seat cushion exhibition area, and my products are in the household appliance exhibition area. We are not in the same exhibition area at all. How can I steal your business!
It's not an exhibition area, that's fine! Yang Peng let out a sigh of relief.
Li Weidong went on to say, Director Yang, don't rejoice too early. The water in this seat cushion exhibition area is very deep, and the business of car seat cushions may not be so easy to do!
Whether the business is good or not, the key is to see who is doing the business! Yang Peng pouted and said coaxingly.
Li Weidong didn't bother to argue with Yang Peng. He said, Director Yang, I've been to this venue many times, and I'm very familiar with it. I'll go first, and you can stroll around slowly. By the way, go to my place if you have time. Walk around the booth!
After Li Weidong finished speaking, he walked into the exhibition hall first.
If you can't eat grapes, say the grapes are sour! Yang Peng snorted coldly and walked into the exhibition hall of the Canton Fair.
Yang Peng first looked at the layout in front of the door, then followed the signs and found the cushion exhibition area along the way.
The scene in front of him made Yang Peng couldn't help rubbing his eyes to confirm whether he was dazzled.
Looking around, the booths in the entire seat cushion exhibition area are densely placed, all of which are car seat cushions!
