Chapter 289 Can blow for several years!

The Japanese are accustomed to working to the extreme, which is probably due to the national nature of Japan.

For example, the steamed rice fairy in Japan has been focusing on steaming rice for 50 years; another example is the old yokan shop in Kichijoji, Tokyo, who has only made 150 yokan per day for 50 years, in order to ensure the quality of yokan.

Only focus on doing one thing in a lifetime, many people call it the spirit of craftsmanship. However, bringing this so-called craftsmanship into industrial production has become a matter of mixed pros and cons.

Not every product needs to pursue the ultimate.

There is a thermos cup in Japan, which claims to be able to keep warm for three days and three nights. Pour boiling water three days ago, and after opening it three days later, the water inside can still make tea. This is indeed the ultimate in thermos cup.

However, who is a normal person who would be idle, pour a cup of hot water, and drink it after three days? If you want to drink hot water, it is not troublesome to boil it now!

What's more, many people don't even want to drink the water overnight, they just want to drink fresh water, how can they drink the water that has been left for three days and three nights!

Some people will say that those who live outdoors for a long time, such as hikers, self-driving travelers, and outdoor adventurers, need this kind of thermos cup.

But since you have to live outdoors, it shouldn't be difficult to bring a small gas stove or a self-heating bag!

Therefore, there is no need for this kind of extreme product. A 12-hour thermos is enough to meet the needs of daily life.

Industrial products ultimately serve the needs of people. No matter how beautiful the parameters are and the products are made to the extreme, if it is out of the needs of people, it is also a failed product.

President Nakamura obviously couldn't figure this out. The Japanese's stubborn character did not allow him to understand this. Therefore, President Nakamura insisted that he lost the order because he had not made the best lawn mower. . As long as he launches the ultimate lawn mower, he will surely occupy the market!

...

At the same time, at the exhibition site, Liang Xin was interrogating Li Weidong.

Director Li, what's going on? Why does the organizer say you are suspected of fraud? Liang Xin asked.

Secretary-General Liang, I really don't know! Li Weidong went on to say, I didn't commit a crime, and I didn't commit a crime. I don't know why the organizer came to me!

You really don't know? Liang Xin looked in disbelief.

Li Weidong thought about it and said, I think there should be some misunderstanding here, or maybe someone deliberately framed me!

Deliberately framed you? Liang Xin laughed angrily: What kind of big business do you think you are, New Holland, John Deere, or Kubota? Someone else deliberately framed you? You are a county-level agricultural machinery factory. Even if you offend people, you can't offend Japan!

Secretary-General Liang, that's not necessarily true! There is a saying that colleagues are enemies. At this Hokkaido Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, in addition to our Fukang lawn mowers,

There are also fourteen sellers of lawn mowers. Maybe they are jealous of me and deliberately trip me up. Li Weidong said.

I'm jealous of you? Other people's technology is not better than yours? Other people's lawn mowers are not better than yours? Don't think I don't know, your Fukang lawn mower is the last one in the organizer's evaluation! Who would be jealous of the last one? ? Liang Xin was obviously a little angry, and his words became more and more aggressive.

Li Weidong smiled slightly: Secretary-General Liang, don't be impatient. I said that some colleagues are jealous of me, but it is not for nothing. After all, I signed an order with an American customer yesterday!

Signed an order? What do you mean? A customer bought your lawn mower? Liang Xin asked three times.

Look at what you asked. I came to the Hokkaido Agricultural Machinery Exhibition to sell lawn mowers. The order I signed is of course an order to sell lawn mowers! Li Weidong replied with a smile.

You sold the lawn mower! Liang Xin looked surprised.

Chinese agricultural machinery companies come to participate in such a level of exhibition as the Hokkaido Agricultural Machinery Exhibition. No one would think that Chinese companies can really sell agricultural machinery, including Liang Xin, the secretary general of the exhibition group. Ability to sell their own farm machinery.

So when he learned that Li Weidong had sold the lawn mower, he was immediately surprised.

Really or not? We have so many large state-owned enterprises, and we can't sell a single agricultural machinery. He is a county-level agricultural machinery factory, can he sell products? Liang Xin looked at Li Weidong with some doubts.

Liang Xin thought for a second: After all, this Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory is not selling traditional agricultural machinery, but small things like household lawn mowers. The market demand for such household products is still relatively large, and maybe there are real customers. I would like to buy dozens of them and go back and try them out!”

Liang Xin tried his best to calm down and said, It's a good thing to be able to sell the product. Although the household lawn mower is not a high-end product, it is still an agricultural machine. You are also doing this for our country's agricultural machinery industry. It's a breakthrough! If this order can really be made, our Agricultural Machinery Office will give you credit!

Thank you Secretary-General Liang for your praise. Li Weidong said.

Liang Xin then asked, What is the total price of the order you signed?

7.7 million! Li Weidong replied.

Liang Xin took out the calculator, pressed it a few times, and said, 7.7 million yen, that's equivalent to more than 60,000 US dollars, not bad!

Secretary-General Liang, the one who signed the contract with me is an American businessman. Which American businessman have you seen buying things in Japanese yen? Li Weidong asked with a smile.

Liang Xin blinked, followed by a surprised expression: You mean $7.7 million?

Americans don't have to use dollars to buy things! Li Weidong replied with a smile.

This, just your lawn mower, can sell for 7.7 million US dollars? Liang Xin still looked unconvinced.

Secretary-General Liang, if you don't believe me, I'll show you a copy of the contract. Li Weidong said, found a copy of the contract and handed it to Liang Xin.

Liang Xin immediately grabbed the copy of the contract and looked at it carefully.

Li Weidong went on to say: US$7.7 million is not a big price for other agricultural machinery, but in the field of household lawn mowers, it is a big deal, and it will definitely make my peers jealous. I guess it is jealousy. My colleagues deliberately did bad things.”

However, Liang Xin didn't hear a word of Li Weidong's words. At this time, he was shocked by the contract in his hand.

It's really an order of 7.7 million US dollars. How can such a thing happen? This is the Hokkaido Agricultural Machinery Exhibition. We have so many large agricultural machinery enterprises, and we have not sold any agricultural machinery for a penny. Can get the order here, and still have $7.7 million!

Speaking of which, isn't this Beverly lawn mower the last one in the review of lawn mowers? Why can I still receive orders from the United States? Do Americans have any special hobbies? Don't buy a better lawn mower, just come to buy the last-to-last product? If that were the case, those agricultural machinery with backward technology that we made in China might be able to be sold to Americans!

Wait, American customer! Omg, I just noticed that the other party turned out to be an American customer! It has always been our China to buy American machinery and sell Chinese agricultural machinery to the United States. This is the first time! If this order can really be executed, it will be a major breakthrough in the domestic agricultural machinery industry!

Liang Xin's thoughts began to become confused. He had never encountered such a thing before, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

At this moment, a blond foreigner came to the exhibition area.

Fukang lawn mower, that guy Cook, is the lawn mower that he purchased? We are the last? The propaganda slogan is wrong. The blond and blue-eyed ghost guy shook his head.

The blond and blue-eyed ghost guy is named Les, and he is also an American. He is also a buyer of household agricultural machinery. He heard that Cook bought a Beverly lawn mower, and he took a look out of curiosity.

When Li Weidong saw a client coming, he ignored Liang Xin, who was dumbfounded, and greeted him with a smile.

Sir, is there anything I can do for you? Li Weidong asked.

I was just wandering around, and I happened to see that your promotional slogan is wrong! Rice said.

It's not wrong. Li Weidong replied.

Next, yesterday's scene happened again. Li Weidong explained it, and then asked how big the courtyard of Rice's house was, and then took out the calculator from his arms.

Li Weidong, a master of accounting, went online instantly!

After Li Weidong's analysis, Les found out that the $400 Fukang lawn mower is the best choice for home use.

Just a home lawn mower, what a blade life of 20 hectares! Do you want to leave it as a family heirloom for your grandson to inherit? The blade life of 7 hectares is more than enough.

No wonder Cook chose this Beverly lawn mower! Fortunately, I came over to take a look. Otherwise, if this half-cheap lawn mower was put into the American market, our company would definitely be caught off guard! Lai Sis thought to himself.

...

When Liang Xin came back to his senses, Li Weidong had already negotiated the price with Les.

What's the situation, I'm so dumbfounded that I can negotiate a deal? Liang Xin was a little stunned.

If Liang Xin had doubts about the copy of the contract in his hand before, then now he saw Li Weidong negotiating a contract with his own eyes, and the last trace of doubt in his heart was completely dispelled.

This Hokkaido Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, there are unexpected harvests! I thought that our Chinese agricultural machinery companies are all here to make soy sauce, but I didn't expect that there is really one that can do it! The domestic agricultural machinery is exported to the United States, and I will report and summarize it later when I go back. When I write it, what a two-eyed achievement! It's enough to boast for several years.

No, this Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory does not seem to belong to our pavilion. He came to participate in the exhibition himself! This can't be done, he has to be pulled into our agricultural machinery hall exhibition group! By the way, I remember that Director Li said before that he came to the Agricultural Machinery Hall to sign up, but was rejected. Is that the idiot who refused?

Forget it, let’s think about it first, how to pull this Fukang agricultural machinery factory into our agricultural machinery hall exhibition group! Let's test the words first, to see if this Director Li is willing.

Thinking of this, Liang Xin walked up to Li Weidong with a smile on his face and asked, Director Li, are you done?

This smile made Li Weidong feel a little familiar.

At the Canton Fair that year, Ma Dexing also laughed like this!
