Chapter 179 The same Li Weidong

Reborn Industrial Tycoon () Find the latest chapter!

Although Li Weidong deliberately cheated Hanaya Saburo for a thousand dollars, the matter of Hanaya Saburo can be regarded as a wake-up call for Li Weidong.

Hanaya Saburo may be the first person to plan to copy the air fryer, but definitely not the last.

After the air fryer is officially launched, ordinary people can buy an air fryer in the market for a few hundred dollars, go back and dismantle it, understand the work involved, and middle school students with better hands-on ability can do it. imitated.

In the future, the annual global demand for air fryers will exceed 20 million units, which is a huge market. I believe that many people with a keen sense of smell will notice this, and then more and more people will start imitating air fryers. pot.

Although Li Weidong holds the patent for the air fryer, if there are too many people imitating it all over the world, Li Weidong just wants to defend his rights, and he does not have so much energy and cost.

For something like intellectual property, the cost of rights protection is too high, not only money, but also time. I am an industrialist, not a professional rights defender. I will definitely not have so much energy to fight patent lawsuits all over the world in the future. Yes. You still have to leave things like a lawsuit to a lawyer!

Li Weidong couldn't help but think of Zheng Jianan, a mixed-race beauty lawyer.

Would you like to hook up with this beauty and let him help me with the lawsuit?

Li Weidong thought about it carefully and finally made a decision.

Li Weidong found Ma Dexing directly: Director Ma, do me a favor again! I want to make a phone call to Hong Kong Island. You should have a dedicated telephone line for international long distance calls, right?

Go to my office, there is it there. Ma Dexing took Li Weidong and walked to the office area.

Then, Li Weidong called Donald Law Firm and found Zheng Jianan.

Li Weidong asked about the progress of the patent application for the air fryer. After learning that everything went well, he said, Lawyer Zheng, do you remember the last time I asked you about how to register a company on Hong Kong Island? It seems that this time, I I really have to register a company. After a few days, I will go to Hong Kong Island to find you, and then we will discuss in detail!

After getting a positive answer from Zheng Jianan, Li Weidong put down the phone and walked out of Ma Dexing's office.

Ma Dexing was in the corridor, smoking while waiting for Li Weidong.

Finished the call? Ma Dexing put out the cigarette in his hand.

It's over. Li Weidong continued: Director Ma, after the Canton Fair is over, I have to go to Hong Kong Island. Can you help me get the procedures for entering Hong Kong?

Are you going to visit Hong Kong Island by the way? I have been to Hong Kong Island, but it is very prosperous! Ma Dexing said with a smile.

Not to travel, but to talk about business. Li Weidong replied.

Ma Dexing's face suddenly turned serious: Is it related to the air fryer?

Li Weidong nodded, and Ma Dexing's attitude instantly became enthusiastic: It's a good thing to talk about business, isn't it just a set of procedures to go to Hong Kong, I'll do it for you. Also, how do you plan to go? Do you want to take a boat directly from Yangcheng? In the past, I also had acquaintances with the passenger transport company in Lotus Port, and I was able to get first-class tickets!

It's even better if you have a ticket, then I will trouble Director Ma! Li Weidong said.

Lotus Port Passenger Company was established in 1985, specializing in the operation of passenger ships to and from Hong Kong Island.

It's just that it was very difficult to buy ferry tickets at that time. After all, there were many self-employed people who would go to Hong Kong Island to buy goods. If you take a boat, you don't need to go through the special zone, which saves you the trouble of special zone passes.

...

In the capital, Sun Xinmin, who had just been promoted, returned to the office. He picked up the phone, dialed a phone number, and said, Bring me all the documents I have accumulated during my three-day business trip.

After a while, Secretary Zhuang walked into Sun Xinmin's office with a large pile of documents.

Leader, which do you look at first? Secretary Zhuang asked.

Look at the report sent by the Canton Fair first! I have been traveling for the past few days,

I don't know how the turnover of the Canton Fair is. Sun Xinmin said.

Although Sun Xinmin doesn't have to go to the Canton Fair site in person, he is still the leader in charge of foreign trade. The Canton Fair is naturally his business scope, so he has been paying attention to the dynamics of the Canton Fair.

To put it another way, if the Canton Fair is well run, it shows that Sun Xinmin has a good leadership; and if the Canton Fair is not well run, Sun Xinmin's work ability will also be questioned.

Now that Sun Xinmin has just returned from a business trip, he naturally has to take a look at the progress of the Canton Fair.

Secretary Zhuang quickly started sorting out the pile of documents, and after a while, he picked out several reports related to the Canton Fair and sent them to Sun Xinmin's desk. After that, Secretary Zhuang continued to classify the documents, while Sun Xinmin began to review the official documents.

After a while, Sun Xinmin suddenly slapped the table and shouted, Our domestic appliances are exported!

Leader, you're happy, it's not the first time that domestic appliances have been exported. Last year, didn't we export refrigerators to Tanzania! Secretary Zhuang said casually.

This time, it's not African countries, but the UK! Sun Xinmin's tone was still very excited.

British people buy our home appliances? Secretary Zhuang showed an inconceivable expression, and then he immediately explained: Leader, don't get me wrong, I didn't question you just now. I was just wondering, the UK is a developed country, What do they have, do they need to buy electricity from us!

Sun Xinmin said, I just saw the news, and I don't believe it either. It's the UK. How could they come to buy our household appliances. After a closer look, I realized that this time we sold to the UK. A new product called an air fryer, which is not available in the UK.

Air fryer? It sounds like a kitchen utensil for cooking. Secretary Zhuang said.

Whether it's for cooking or not, it's household appliances. Being able to export household appliances to developed countries is a major breakthrough! I hope we can export more industrial products to developed countries in the future. Sun Xinmin is happy said.

Sun Xinmin picked up the second report from the Canton Fair.

The United States has placed an order for 20,000 air fryers! Sun Xinmin exclaimed again.

It's the big retailer in the United States. I heard that Evasion is no smaller than Wal-Mart. The big retailer is just arrogant and bought 20,000 units at once!

Secretary Zhuang paused, then asked: By the way, leader, how much does this air fryer sell for? Can you sell three or five sets of TVs?

Xiao Zhuang, you underestimate this air fryer too much. This order is worth 5.7 million US dollars! Sun Xinmin smiled brightly.

Twenty thousand sets are 5.7 million US dollars, and one set is 285 US dollars, which is equivalent to 1,200 yuan. The imported 18-inch color TV is the same price! Secretary Zhuang said.

In 1988, the mainstream color TVs were still 14 inches, and 18 inches was already a big color TV.

Sun Xinmin sighed lightly on the side: Sure enough, it's still industrial products to make money. We used to sell tea and porcelain, and we were very happy with an order of tens of thousands of dollars. Let's look at this industrial product, and an order is 570 dollars. Wan! How many teas and china must be sold to make so much money!

Sun Xinmin said, and continued to read the report of the Canton Fair.

Walmart also bought 10,000 units! Sun Xinmin made a quick calculation in his mind, and then said, Judging from the figures in the newspaper, this air fryer has already earned more than 10 million foreign exchange from exports!

U.S. dollars? Secretary Zhuang asked subconsciously.

Nonsense, at the Canton Fair, of course, it has to be calculated in US dollars! Sun Xinmin said.

This is a golden pot, it can be sold for 10 million US dollars! Secretary Zhuang was already shocked by the figure of 10 million US dollars.

Sun Xinmin took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said, Go and call the Canton Fair and ask which manufacturer made this air fryer.

Okay, I'll ask right away. Secretary Zhuang immediately ran out and called.

After a while, Secretary Zhuang ran back. He opened the notebook in his hand and said, Leader, I have already inquired about it. This manufacturer of air fryers is called Xiangyang Town Electric Furnace Factory, Dongcheng District, Qinghe City.

Qinghe? Sun Xinmin pondered for a moment, then immediately said, Last year, the person who sold car seat cushions was also from Qinghe, right? Are the people in this place very good at doing business?

I have heard of Shanxi merchants, Zhejiang merchants, and Hui merchants, but I have never heard that there were merchants in the poor area of ​​Qinghe! By the way, that long list of names you just mentioned, what district? what town?

Dongcheng District, Xiangyang Town, Electric Furnace Factory. Secretary Zhuang replied.

Town? It sounds like a township enterprise! Sun Xinmin asked with a strange expression, Could it really be a township enterprise, right?

Secretary Zhuang nodded: Leader, you are right, this is really a township enterprise!

Last year, the person who sold car seat cushions was a state-owned enterprise's tertiary industry, but it was also a state-owned enterprise. This year, a township enterprise popped up! What is the feng shui of Qinghe? Order! Sun Xinmin looked like he was telling a fairy tale.

Leader, there is one more thing that you can never guess. Secretary Zhuang didn't give a shit, but directly revealed the answer: This air fryer is also called Li Weidong!

Li Weidong, this name is a bit familiar. Sun Xinmin didn't remember who Li Weidong was for a while.

The person who sold cushions last year was also called Li Weidong! Secretary Zhuang replied.

It can't be the same person, right? Sun Xinmin said and shook his head to himself: How could it be the same person. The former Li Weidong belonged to a state-owned garment factory, how could he go to an electric furnace factory!

The Canton Fair only knows that the exhibitor's name is Li Weidong. It's hard to be sure if it's the same person. So I called again and asked the exhibitor group from Handong Province.

Secretary Zhuang paused for a while, satiated Sun Xinmin's appetite, and then continued: The exhibitor group has confirmed that Li Weidong from this electric furnace factory is Li Weidong who sold cushions before!

It's the same person! Sun Xinmin opened his mouth wide, showing an expression that was completely inconsistent with his leadership status.

Secretary Zhuang secretly rejoiced in his heart: I thought it was only me who didn't have much of a city government and would be so shocked, I didn't expect the leader to do the same! It seems that I'm getting closer and closer to becoming a leader!
