Li Weidong felt that he was really unlucky and ill-fated.

I finally got a place in the Canton Fair, and then carefully prepared to participate in the exhibition, but before the opening, I found that the booth was gone!

Li Weidong stepped forward with depression and negotiated with the staff.

"Comrade, why is there another embroidery exhibition area in this good way?" asked Li Weidong.

"In the past few years, embroidery has been exhibited together with other handicrafts, and foreign merchants have bought some of them as souvenirs to take home. But last year, a European merchant purchased a large number of embroidery products, saying that he was going back to make home decoration. ”

The staff and the voice paused, and replied: "This year, the merchant came again, and also brought several companions, our leaders believe that these merchants are more willing to purchase, should be able to bring a lot of foreign exchange, so it was decided to embroidery as a separate exhibition area." ”

Li Weidong immediately took out a cigarette, handed it to the staff member, and then asked: "Comrade, your leaders are really powerful, and even the foreign businessmen who are coming, you can feel it clearly!"

The staff took the cigarette, and the conversation became more, and he said: "There are only a few hotels where foreign businessmen live, and when these foreign guests check in to the hotel, they all have to register their work units, and when those foreign businessmen come to check in, we don't know what kind of business the foreign businessmen do!"

"So that's the case, it's really clever!" Li Weidong gave a thumbs up.

The staff member continued: "And many foreign businessmen are not here for the first time, as long as they have bought things at our Canton Fair, we have a record, if you come again, can you still not know them! Don't look at the Canton Fair has not yet started, in fact, the foreign trade bureaus of various provinces have begun to contact foreign businessmen and sell products to them." ”

"And this is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Li Weidong nodded suddenly in understanding.

"It's the first time for Comrade Xiao to come to the Canton Fair, right?" the staff asked.

Li Weidong pretended to be new, and nodded seriously: "It's the first time to come, this old brother, you are well-informed, and then tell me about the doorway inside." ”

The staff member was complimented by Li Weidong like this, and he began to show off, he said: "In fact, the foreign trade departments of all provinces have a list of important foreign businessmen, those who have purchased merchants in the past, and those merchants who have a strong willingness to purchase, are all on that list, what people want to buy, we are clear."

Before the Canton Fair starts, go to negotiate with foreign businessmen, negotiate the price, and wait for the Canton Fair to begin, and then officially sign the order. Otherwise, why did these Canton Fairs have the largest transaction volume on the first day? In fact, they were all negotiated a long time ago. ”

Li Weidong pretended to admire it, and then asked, "Then do you know where to get the list of important foreign businessmen?"

"I definitely don't have this thing, you ask the leaders of your Provincial Foreign Trade Department, maybe you can see it." The staff spoke.

Li Weidong nodded again, then leaned aside.

Wang Kaiping leaned over and asked, "Factory director, our booth is gone, what should we do?"

"Let's go to the chief of our regiment and ask what the situation is!" Li Weidong replied.

......

The director Ma mentioned by Li Weidong is named Ma Dexing, who is a director of the Foreign Trade Department.

This time, the foreign trade team of Handong Province came to participate in the Canton Fair, and the team leader was a deputy department-level leader, but it was impossible for the leader to deal with the trivial matters at the exhibition in person, so he arranged Ma Dexing as the deputy team leader to be responsible for the front-line work.

In the office area of the Canton Fair, the trade teams of each province have their own offices.

When he came to the door of the office, Li Weidong knocked on the door and asked at the door, "Is Director Ma there?"

"I'm here, please come in. Ma Dexing opened his mouth and said, and Li Weidong pushed the door and walked in.

Ma Dexing didn't know Li Weidong, but he just felt a little familiar. After all, there are hundreds of enterprises participating in the Canton Fair in the foreign trade team of Handong Province, adding up to hundreds of people, and it is impossible for Ma Dexing to know them all.

"This little comrade is an exhibitor of our provincial foreign trade team, right?" Ma Dexing confirmed first.

"Yes, I am an exhibitor from our province. Li Weidong nodded.

After confirming that it was his own person, Ma Dexing asked, "Do you have something?"

Li Weidong opened his mouth and said: "Director Ma, the daily necessities exhibition area has been canceled at the venue and changed to an embroidery exhibition area, do you know about it?"

"So you're here for this. Ma Dexing nodded suddenly, and then replied: "I only learned about the change of the daily necessities exhibition area to the embroidery exhibition area not long ago. This is a temporary decision made by the organizers, and we exhibitors have no right to interfere. And it's not a bad thing to list an embroidery exhibition area separately, our trade team also has embroidery products!"

"Director Ma, the organizer has temporarily canceled the exhibition area, so you have to give us an explanation, right? They didn't make any compensation or anything?" Li Weidong asked again.

"This compensation, there is still some, in the ceramic exhibition area, people gave us half of the booth, and then you can put a few more black pottery crafts. Our Chinese ceramic products, foreigners still like it very much, especially this black pottery, many foreigners have never seen it, and it is estimated that more than half of the booth can earn an additional 50,000 US dollars!" Ma Dexing replied with great interest.

"Take my booth for the black pottery counter, and you still look like you're scared!" Li Weidong felt a wave of anger in his heart.

I only heard Li Weidong speak: "Director Ma, our company's products were originally exhibited in the daily necessities area, but now the organizer has canceled the daily necessities area, taken away my booth, and then gave compensation, this compensation, should it be returned to us!"

"Do you produce ceramic products?" asked Ma Dexing.

Li Weidong shook his head: "No." We are a manufacturer of car cushions. ”

"What people compensated us for was a ceramic booth, you don't produce ceramics, of course you can't go to the ceramic booth!" Ma Dexing replied.

"Then there are other booths, you have to give me one, you can't take our booth away and give us nothing, right?" Li Weidong said.

"Then I'll try to figure out a way for you, what are the products you are exhibiting?" Ma Dexing asked again.

"A car cushion is a cushion that is placed on a car seat. Li Weidong replied.

"Oh, car cushions, that's really hard to arrange. You say it's textiles, but what you spin and display is all kinds of fabrics, and you say it's clothes, and you can't wear them on your body......" Ma Dexing pretended to be very worried.

"Director Ma, our car cushion is knitted and can be placed on the side of the knitted product. Li Weidong said immediately.

"But there is no place for knitted goods for a long time. Ma Dexing spread his hands and said: "The weaving products cover a wide range, such as willow weaving, straw weaving, reed weaving, wool weaving, in short, all provinces have weaving products to participate in the exhibition, some are personally led by the Foreign Trade Department, so the weaving exhibition area has long been filled." There are still several willow exhibits in our group, and I didn't put them in!"

"What about our factory's products?" Li Weidong asked directly.

"The organizer's temporary modification of the exhibition area is a special circumstance and an accident. Otherwise, your factory will sacrifice and carry forward the style, this Canton Fair, don't participate in the exhibition, and wait for the next Canton Fair, I am looking for a good booth for you. Ma Dexing said.

Li Weidong had already seen that Ma Dexing was deliberately playing Tai Chi with himself, and he had no intention of arranging a booth for himself at all.

Li Weidong is most annoyed by this kind of person, who rejects you inexplicably, but will find all kinds of reasons to go around, but there are more such people.

In Ma Dexing's view, the ceramic exhibition area is much more important, black pottery handicrafts are more popular with foreign businessmen, as for the car cushion, I don't even have a car, the ghost knows what the car cushion is for!

"It seems that this booth is going to come, and we have to find a way to get the list of important foreign businessmen, and maybe there is a chance to turn the tables. I don't know if Ma Dexing has that important list of foreign businessmen here. Li Weidong began to think in his heart, how to inquire about the list of important foreign businessmen.

Ma Dexing, who was opposite, continued to pretend, he took out a form of enterprises participating in the war, and said: "This comrade, I will mark your factory, and wait for next year's Canton Fair, and give you priority to arranging a booth." ”

"It's hard to say whether you will lead the team next year! This is to see that I am young, and you are deliberately fooling me!"

Li Weidong knew that Ma Dexing was putting on a show, and the so-called promise of priority arrangements for next year was just to appease Li Weidong and open empty checks.

I saw Ma Dexing holding the exhibitor form, searching for a long time on it, and finally found the words "linen car cushion".

"Found it, linen car cushions, this is your exhibit, right? Let me see, you are the garment factory of the Qinghe Regional Transportation Company?"

Ma Dexing frowned instantly, and then asked, "How does your company sound like a tertiary industry?"

"We're a tertiary producer. Li Weidong replied coldly.

"Then this Qinghe regional transportation company is your parent company, right?" Ma Dexing then asked.

Li Weidong nodded: "Yes, we are the third industry of the transportation company." ”

Ma Dexing thought for a few seconds before he spoke, "Among the provincial-level enterprises, there is no Qinghe regional transportation company, you are a prefecture-level enterprise?"

"Isn't a regional transportation company just a prefecture-level enterprise?" replied Li Weidong.

"In other words, you are the tertiary industry of a prefecture-level enterprise?" Ma Dexing confirmed again.

"You're right, we are the tertiary industry of prefecture-level enterprises. Li Weidong nodded again.

"Alright, I got it. Ma Dexing's tone instantly turned cold: "I have already marked you, you can wait until next year's Canton Fair! I still have some work at hand that has not been completed, so I will not send you out." ”

Ma Dexing said, and put on a posture of sending off guests.

Knowing that Li Weidong's garment factory is only a tertiary industry in a prefecture-level city, Ma Dexing didn't even bother to open a blank check!

......

Li Weidong walked in the corridor of the office area with a gloomy face.

Ma Dexing's change of attitude was completely unexpected by Li Weidong, after all, the garment factory is only a tertiary industry, and compared with those national or provincial key enterprises, it is normal to be unwelcome.

Besides, Ma Dexing will not give Li Weidong a booth, so Li Weidong naturally does not have to talk to Ma Dexing.

"At the critical moment, you still have to rely on yourself! After going around in a circle, you have to go to the foreigner to sell it yourself!" Li Weidong sighed lightly, and began to think about countermeasures in his mind.

At this moment, a group of people came in front of him, and Li Weidong looked up, and the leader turned out to be an acquaintance!

Li Weidong couldn't help but think of Lu You's poem:

The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
