Chapter 226 Plan B

When the home appliance exhibition area was left out in the cold, Cai Qianjin and Jiang Aiguo came to mock Li Weidong.

The exhibitors in the home appliance exhibition area did not stand out for Li Weidong. After all, his peers were enemies. In the Canton Fair in the past two years, Li Weidong was too popular and was envied by many people.

Now that Li Weidong is deflated, these exhibitors may still be applauding in their hearts!

Li Weidong was also too lazy to argue. He let Cai Qianjin and Jiang Aiguo push their noses on their faces, just like the patent of the air fryer back then.

Li Weidong had long expected that the number of foreign merchants would decrease at this Canton Fair, and household appliances would also face the dilemma of not being able to sell them, so Li Weidong made a plan B for selling egg steamers early.

After the Canton Fair on the first day, Li Weidong was also convinced that it was difficult to get large orders for household appliances, so he decided to start Plan B immediately.

The next day, as soon as the Canton Fair started, Li Weidong left the exhibition area and went to find Ma Dexing.

Director Ma, I want to ask you for help with something. Li Weidong said straight to the point.

What's the matter? Ma Dexing asked.

I'm planning to go to Hong Kong Island, and I want you to help me get a certificate. Li Weidong paused, then said, Through observation yesterday, I found that the sales of home appliances this year are not optimistic. For several household appliances, it is possible that none of them can be sold, so I feel that we can no longer sit still and take the initiative to attack.”

Are you going to Hong Kong Island to find an order? Ma Dexing asked.

Li Weidong nodded: Yes, I plan to go to Hong Kong Island and directly find foreign businessmen to sell our products. For foreign trade, since foreign businessmen are unwilling to come to purchase, then I will come to the door to sell!

The procedures for going to Hong Kong Island are not easy to handle now. If I go through the normal process to apply, I don’t know that I will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to get the pass, so I can only come to you and go through the back door. I hope to go to Hong Kong Island during the Canton Fair.

Because our factory is not a foreign trade enterprise and has no import and export rights, even if I sell products on Hong Kong Island and get an order, I still have to rely on the Canton Fair to complete it. I don't know if this is in accordance with the rules of the Canton Fair?

The rules are dead, but people are alive! The order of the Canton Fair does not necessarily have to be signed at the Canton Fair! If you can really bring the order contract, come to me for the record, and I will show you the process of the Canton Fair. !

As long as there are orders from foreign businessmen and foreign exchange can be exported, Ma Dexing is still very flexible.

Ma Dexing continued: As for the pass to Hong Kong Island, I will try to get it for you within three days. As you know, the review for going to Hong Kong is relatively strict now, and it is not just what I can say here.

Li Weidong nodded: Then please trouble Director Ma as soon as possible! I can go to Hong Kong Island one day earlier, and I can also sell products to foreigners one day earlier.

Three days later, Li Weidong finally got the formalities to go to Hong Kong.

He didn't dare to delay at all, and went directly to Hong Kong Island by boat.

After arriving on Hong Kong Island, Li Weidong found a hotel to stay, and then asked Zheng Jianan to meet at a coffee shop.

The purpose of my visit this time is to sell products to Xizhi Electric. Li Weidong said bluntly.

Is that the egg steamer you asked me to register before? Zheng Jianan asked.

Yes, Japanese people's eating habits will be interested in boiled eggs. Li Weidong paused, and then said: I plan to visit Takakura Wentai, the person in charge of the main post of Xizhi Electric Appliances tomorrow, you can help me make an appointment. Just a moment.

Zheng Jianan pondered for a few seconds, then asked, How did you know this Takakura Wentai?

I don't know him, I just heard of him. Li Weidong said, as if remembering something, so he asked, What are the more famous seafood restaurants on Hong Kong Island?

You want to buy seafood? Zheng Jianan thought about it and said, If you want to buy seafood, go to Des Voeux Road West. There are many seafood shops in the area around Triangle Wharf.

Then go to Des Voeux Road West, I need some better maw, but I don't have much Hong Kong dollars with me now, I have to go to the Southeast Company's account!

Li Weidong is not familiar with the geography of Hong Kong Island, and Zheng Jianan said that it is where it is.

Did you buy fish maw as a gift for this Takakura Wentai? Zheng Jianan asked.

That's right, don't think that Gao Cangwen is Japanese, but he really likes fish maw stew. Let's go to someone else rashly. We can't do it empty-handed. Bring some gifts to show our sincerity. Li Weidong said. .

Zheng Jianan hesitated for a moment, then asked, Didn't you say that you don't know this Gaokang Wentai? How do you know he likes flower maw?

Li Weidong smiled strangely: Of course I have my source of information!

...

Wentai Takakura of Xizhi Electric was a Japanese person Li Weidong knew in his last life.

At that time, Li Weidong was repairing the car in a Japanese car dealership, and Gao Cangwen had a classic Beetle, and he went to Li Weidong to repair it every three days. Over time, Li Weidong and Gao Cangwen became acquainted.

Takakura Wentai is the deputy chief of a certain department of Xizhi Electric, and he can be regarded as a middle-level management cadre of Xizhi Electric. Before 1992, he had been staying on Hong Kong Island and was the person in charge of Xizhi Electric in Hong Kong Island, so he could speak Cantonese.

When Gao Cang Wentai went to the car shop to repair the car, he often spoke to Li Weidong, a Chinese, in Cantonese. It is for this reason that Li Weidong knows that Gao Cang Wentai likes to drink fish maw stewed soup.

When Li Weidong decided to produce an egg steamer, he had already thought of Gao Cang Wentai. To this end, Li Weidong also quietly formulated a B plan.

Li Weidong's plan B is divided into two parts. The first part is that if foreign businessmen are unwilling to come to the Canton Fair to purchase, then Li Weidong will directly go to the door to sell products.

As for the way to export, we still have to rely on the Canton Fair. After all, Li Weidong's company does not have the right to import and export.

The egg steamer is specially developed for the Japanese market. It is said that it should go to Japan to sell it, but Li Weidong has no conditions to go to Japan, so he can only settle for the next best thing. He went to Hong Kong Island to find Takakura Wentai from Xizhi Electric, and tried to make the steamed egg. The appliance was sold to Xizhi Electric.

...

The next day, Li Weidong went to a well-known Tang Kee seafood shop, bought high-quality fish maw, and then went straight to the office of Xizhi Electric on Hong Kong Island.

Because of the appointment made yesterday, Li Weidong met Wentai Gao Cang smoothly.

Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Wentai Gao Cang! Wentai Gao Cang said in half-baked Cantonese.

Mr. Takakura, hello, please take care of me when we meet for the first time! Li Weidong said in Japanese, while exercising Japanese etiquette.

Takakura Wentai was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that the other party would greet him in a Japanese way, so he immediately returned the salute in a Japanese way.

Then Li Weidong sent a gift.

It turned out to be fish maw! Mr. Li, thank you very much for your gift. Gao Cang Wentai was still polite, but there was a ray of joy in his eyes. He liked the gift prepared by Li Weidong very much, and his affection for Li Weidong was instantaneous. +1.

After the guests and the host were seated, the two began to chat. Since both sides used Japanese, Zheng Jianan could only sit on the side in a daze and could not understand a word.

However, Zheng Jianan's gaze towards Li Weidong was a bit strange. She didn't expect Li Weidong to speak Japanese.

Talented men are often easier to attract the attention of young girls. Talented and rich men can basically attract the opposite sex of all ages.

After Li Weidong and Gao Cangwen Taicai exchanged a few words, Gao Cangwen Taicai asked very politely: Mr. Li, you came to me, is there anything you need my help?

Mr. Takakura, to be honest, I'm here to sell products. Li Weidong said.

Mr. Li, you don't look like a salesman. Gao Cangwen said with a smile.

You can treat me as a salesman. Li Weidong said, and took out the egg steamer from the suitcase he was carrying.

Mr. Takakura, this product is called an egg steamer. This product can steam eggs easily and quickly, and can ensure that the nutrients of the eggs are not destroyed and lost to the greatest extent. At the same time, you can also choose according to your preferences. , choose the degree of tenderness of the eggs, and steam the eggs that best suit your taste. Li Weidong began to introduce the egg steamer.

Li Weidong is a very good salesman. After some sales from him, Takakura Wentai nodded again and again and gradually became interested in the egg steamer.

Mr. Li, this kind of egg steamer of yours, our Xizhi Electric has also made similar products. Takakura Wentai said.

You're talking about an electric steamer, right? Li Weidong smiled and said, The electric steamer is too big and too inconvenient. Compared to this, my egg steamer occupies a very small area. And it's very convenient to use, and you can steam the eggs in just a few minutes.

I personally think that the egg steamer and the electric steamer are just the same principle, but they are two completely different products. I think the PCT grants me a patent precisely because it recognizes my point of view.

Have you obtained a PCT patent for this product? Gao Cangwen asked.

The patent certificate has not been obtained yet, but the patent application process has been completed, and we are only waiting for the PCT approval. Li Weidong replied.

Takakura Wentai nodded and expressed his understanding. Generally, after the patent application process is completed, it means that it is only a matter of time to obtain a patent certificate.

Li Weidong went on to say: Takakura Wentai, I think the product of egg steamer will be very popular in Japan. The steamed eggs are very in line with the Japanese eating habits. Are you interested?

Gao Cangwen thought for a moment and said, Mr. Li, I'm very sorry. We, Xizhi Electric, may not be able to purchase this kind of product from you. I think you know the reason.

I understand! Li Weidong smiled and nodded, but he was not discouraged.

But Takakura Wentai went on to say: But we, Xizhi Electric, are very interested in the patent of this egg steamer!
