Chapter 87: Shenzhen Conference (1)
After fully communicating with Bella, Yin Jie took SUMMER and FLORA to Shenzhen in advance.
In view of his physical condition, Yin Jie chose to leave on Sunday. Instead of the usual habit of choosing the first flight, I chose the flight around 10 am to make sure that I didn't put too much burden on my body.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived in Shenzhen. The three of them took a taxi to the hotel, and the time was half past two. Yin Jie instructed the two to wash up as soon as possible, and then took them to afternoon tea.
The three of them simply washed away the dust all the way, and Yin Jie took the lead to go to the "full house". The two children had heard her recite "full of fragrant" refreshments, and they didn't eat anything along the way (all of them were tainted with the bad problem that she didn't like to eat in-flight meals), so they couldn't wait to step into this tea house with exquisite dim sum in one step.
After the ushersman ushered the three of them to the empty seats and sat down, the waiter in white uniform handed over the menu, and the waiter skillfully washed and warmed the cups, and then poured the tea one by one before retreating.
"This chrysanthemum seems pretty good?" Flora asked, sniffing lightly, uncertain. has been staying with Yin Jie for almost a year, and she has also contracted some of Yin Jie's habits, and she began to like to drink tea and coffee. However, she still prefers sweet flower tea to all kinds of fragrant or bitter leaves.
"Hmm. The refreshments of this shop are very famous in Shenzhen. Yin Jie opened the teapot for the two children to see. There are only two chrysanthemums, and the bubble seems to occupy 3/4 of the entire teapot. She motioned for the two of them to look around: "Look, most of the locals here come. Most of the locals are there, at least it means that the taste of the refreshments here is really good and authentic. The two looked around, and sure enough, they found that there were some local uncles and aunts among the tea customers, and there were also some business people talking about things while drinking tea, and it could be seen that they were all locals.
Yin Jie's dim sum for everyone is more classic. She ordered the shrimp siu mai emperor, the abalone braised chicken feet, the Zhuhou money belly, the crispy pigeon king, and then ordered a seafood rice noodles, a small pot of casserole porridge, a basket of custard puff pastry pineapple buns, and her favorite walnut buns.
The flour of the walnut bun is mixed with brown sugar and milk, and the shape looks like a real walnut from color to texture. When she took a bite, the fragrance of milk, sesame seeds, and walnuts suddenly filled her entire body and mind.
Flora and Summer are very fond of the tastes. Summer's favorite is the shrimp siu mai king, which is said to be full of gravy and fragrant, and one large prawn in one bite. Flora prefers custard pineapple buns, which are still hot when served, and when you take a bite, they are full of sweetness. Yin Jie thought that everyone would like the crispy pigeon king, but no one cared about it. She couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it, these two were girls, so she naturally preferred lighter things. She then ordered another mandarin duck dish, so that they could clear their mouths after they got tired of eating.
After dinner, back in the room, the three of them held the first on-site meeting together, Yin Jie checked the previous work, once again emphasized the focus of each person's work in the next few days, and then reminded emphatically:
"I'm here to remind you, Erdmann and they will be in Hong Kong the night after tomorrow, and they will come from Hong Kong on Wednesday. That said, on Wednesday we and Erdmann will have our last pre-conference meeting. Today and tomorrow at eight o'clock every night to report on the day's work, thunder will not move. This is the first time you've been in charge of a sub-project on your own, and again, I hope you will be both diligent and cautious. In the past few days, I have sent you the schedule of my visits to enterprises and governments, and if you have any questions, you can raise them at any time and solve them at any time. The two solemnly said yes and went back to their rooms to prepare.
Yin Jie thought about it for a long time this time, but decided to assign the new "product display" sub-item to Summer, firstly, Flora's carelessness left too deep an impression on him, so that he could not trust her to hand over the new job, and secondly, Summer has not shown any shortcomings in his work so far. This made Yin Jie happy but also more worried, after all, unknown dangers are the most difficult to deal with. Therefore, she deliberately handed over all the experimental projects to Summer, and also saved a bit of tentative thoughts, lest she suddenly burst into a big thunderbolt and catch her off guard.
So far, Summer's work has been going well: she has chosen to set up her booth in a more open area outside the conference hall, including the side corridors. Each booth is roughly the same size, with slight differences in shape depending on the location. The illustration of the display area she drew was decent, with not only the size of the aisles, but also the size of the numbered booths. Yin Jie has sent this set of illustrations to Erdmann in advance, and he will organize the exhibitors to claim their own booths and design the back panel pattern according to the size of the booth of their choice. These patterns have all been sent to the engineering company contracted by the hotel, and Summer will meet with the hotel staff to meet with the engineering company to approve the relevant matters early tomorrow morning. In addition, she will discuss with the hotel the booth layout and the rental of displays, which are required by some companies in S countries to showcase their products and services.
Her performances so far have been remarkable. It can be seen that she has a very clear idea of work and a very disciplined way of doing things.
Because Flora has participated in hotel contact related matters during the conference in Nanjing, she already has some experience. Therefore, the hotel part of the Shenzhen Conference, including the conference and catering, was all handed over to her. Flora had just come up with a list of things to do in advance, and planned to discuss them one by one with the project manager of the hotel.
Yin Jie is responsible for the overall situation, including the supervision of the work of the two men, as well as the contact with the delegation of country S, departments at all levels in Shenzhen, and industry associations, as well as pre-conference visits to important customers. This part of the job is difficult to replace, after all, her experience and understanding of business are far beyond the other two.
There are many outstanding enterprises in Shenzhen, and she has visited more than 10 large enterprises such as Huazhi Technology before, and five companies such as Huamei Group have previously visited Haosen Prefecture. Yin Jie of the above-mentioned companies has been invited by phone in advance, and the other party has promised that there will be senior managers to participate in the event.
In addition, this time, she will meet with 14 industry leaders in two days under the organization of the local government...
As for the part of the Guangdong enterprises that she once mentioned to Ning Haoran that built their headquarters in Hong Kong, Yin Jie took the method of inviting them through local non-governmental business associations. Due to manpower constraints, she only had time to get in touch with the entrepreneur associations in Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huizhou before this event, and invited some of these "hidden industry champions" to participate in the event through them.
There is such an entrepreneur inside: Chen Changqing.
The day of the event was so lively that the conference hall was full for 450 people, and even folding chairs were added to the middle aisle.
As a representative of Chinese enterprises investing in Haosen, Dai Anhui also spoke at the meeting. In her speech, she highly praised the professionalism of the LS team.
At the invitation of Dai Anhui, when Yin Jie led the LS China team to stand up and salute, the audience erupted in thunderous applause. Yin Jie's heart was warm, and the undisguised recognition and appreciation from the customer felt so good that it almost made her cry.
During the tea break between the meeting, Yin Jie met Chen Changqing, chairman of Jiye Evergreen Intelligent Equipment Company.
Jiye Evergreen Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. is a very successful refrigeration equipment integration company, occupying a whopping 28% domestic market share. Chen Changqing was wearing a black suit with a dark red twill tie that day, and his white face did not need to be very elegant. Yin Jie found that although this person was smiling, he was quite silent. It was only when he was specifically questioned that he expressed his opinion in a shy and slow voice. If it weren't for Vice President Yin's introduction, Yin Jie would have found it hard to believe that this person was the "king of refrigeration equipment" in Megatron South China.
At the luncheon time at the end of the meeting, Yin Jie specially arranged for himself to sit next to him.
"Mr. Chen, can you please ask why you considered setting up the company's headquarters in Hong Kong at that time?" Yin Jie asked curiously.
"Ahh That's a long story. First of all, my father suffered a lot of liquidations and sins during the 10-year Holocaust, and then when I was doing business, I set up the company headquarters in Hong Kong to avoid political risks. At that time, I thought that even if we did another exercise, at least some of our assets could be preserved. Of course, now that the country is opening up more and more to the outside world, this political avoidance factor no longer exists, but now there is a need to do so. ”
He glanced at Yin Jie and said with a smile: "I know what you have in mind, of course, Hong Kong has very special policies that can be used to avoid taxes." In addition, there is a very practical reason that being based in Hong Kong is helpful for me to introduce advanced equipment or technology from abroad, and you know that many Western countries still have a technological blockade on the mainland. Similarly, being based in Hong Kong has also helped me to develop markets in other countries, and you know that Hong Kong has pretty good trade and financial agreements with a lot of countries. ”
This entrepreneur has extraordinary imagination and insight, which is Yin Jie's impression.
"How do you feel about the presentation of the investment climate in the canton of Hausen in the morning session?"
"That's good. ”
"Does your company have a presence in Europe?"
"We have some very important partners in Europe, including the very well-known TH WITT, as well as several very good institutes. In addition, we have good suppliers of components in Europe. ”
"Are your products now available in Europe?"
"Not yet. You know that my manufacturing base is in Dongguan, and the R&D team is also there. Although some results have been achieved, on the whole, European and American countries still have the upper hand in this field. ”
"Then your sales are mainly for Chinese mainland?"
"You see, our products are mainly used in food freezing and refrigeration, hotel cold storage, industrial process cooling, medical cold storage, refrigerated trucks, marine cold storage, these fields. We have established a very solid cooperative relationship with such domestic manufacturers, and where they sell their products, our products will also go, and we are bound. ”
Not a drop of water, Yin Jie was a little impetuous, and blurted out very directly:
"Have you ever considered setting up an institution in Europe, on the one hand, close to suppliers and partners, and making full use of European scientific research resources for joint research and development, and striving to make your own products better. On the other hand, I also try to sell my own products. ”
Chen Changqing looked at Yin Jie with a smile and replied, "This suggestion is very interesting, we will definitely consider it seriously." If the company finds it necessary after the assessment, they will contact you directly for help. ”
It's a defeat!
Yin Jie left with a light smile, feeling stupid. She was very frustrated, feeling that she was unexpectedly impetuous, and the frustration that Chen Changqing encountered exacerbated this annoyance.
She came to the drink station. Alcohol must not be drunk, she reached for a glass of Coke and put it down. Reaching out again to pick up a glass of orange juice, swaying slightly, I heard the ice cubes inside colliding with each other and making a crisp sound...
Frustrated, she put down her glass and asked the waiter to pour her a glass of room temperature juice.
"I'm so sorry. Miss, even if I don't put ice, these juices are now very cold when they are put in the freezer. Or shall I pour you a cup of tea?"
It's that bad!!!
Yin Jie walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and reassured himself over and over again: This is a mood swing caused by abnormal hormonal secretion, don't be depressed, don't be depressed...
"Hello Mr. Yin"
A female voice rang in her ears.
