Chapter 100: It's easy to do things with acquaintances
Chen Tingjiang straightened the mask on his face to make sure he could cover most of his face before walking out of the hospital gate.
With Chen Tingjiang's level, he must be hugged everywhere, and if he is hospitalized, he must have at least a reinforcement company if he comes to visit the patient with gifts.
However, this time, Chen Tingjiang deliberately kept a low profile, mainly because he was in the hospital this time because he had hemorrhoids.
The disease near the chrysanthemum, after all, is an unspeakable hidden, and the person concerned feels ashamed, and it is not good to spread it.
Just imagine, when the reinforcement company comes to visit the patient, he will always ask about the condition, and when the time comes, will he let Chen Tingjiang introduce the situation of his chrysanthemum?
Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if someone were to carry a banana as a gift?
For example, Chen Tingjiang is a leader, but he still has to retain some majesty, so Chen Tingjiang entered the hospital this time to keep a low profile as much as possible, and did not notify anyone except his family, secretary and driver.
Chen Tingjiang walked out of the hospital gate, and the Audi 80 was already parked at the door.
The driver, Master Lin, immediately stepped forward, helped Chen Tingjiang to the front of the car, then opened the car door and helped Chen Tingjiang into the car.
Chen Tingjiang didn't dare to sit down directly, his husband pressed his butt against the seat, slowly moved his body, and then leaned sideways and sat down carefully.
Chen Tingjiang's current situation, it may be better to lie on his stomach, but as a leader, he has to maintain his image, so even if his butt hurts, he must try to maintain the posture of standing loose and sitting like a clock.
However, what Chen Tingjiang didn't expect was that the seats in the car today had a cool feeling, and after sitting on it, the whole butt felt cold, and even the wounds of hemorrhoids were much more refreshing.
"It's comfortable!" Chen Tingjiang found that there was an extra set of cushions on the original leather seat.
Chen Tingjiang touched the cushion with his hand, it was cool and soft, it felt good, and the cushion was also knitted, which should be more breathable.
Chen Tingjiang nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that the driver Xiaolin was getting better and better at doing things, and he knew that his butt was not suitable for sitting on a leather seat, so he found this breathable cushion.
"Xiaolin, this cushion is good. Chen Tingjiang opened his mouth and praised.
"You're comfortable to sit on, aren't you? This is not an ordinary seat cushion, this is a linen seat cushion for cars, which is woven from high-tech flax fibers mixed with wool, and it has to be imported knitting machines to make it look like this. Master Lin replied.
Ordinary people don't understand flax fiber, so Master Lin simply added the word "high-tech" to make it look extraordinary, and then mentioned wool and imported knitting machines, and the grade of the cushion immediately came up.
"There's wool in it, so it's soft to the touch. Chen Tingjiang continued: "Xiaolin, thank you for your hard work, and you have specially provided me with this cushion. ”
"What's the hard work, it's all within my responsibility. Master Lin paused, and then said: "Speaking of this car cushion, thanks to a friend of mine, their factory specializes in producing this kind of car cushion. When I came to pick you up, I met him in our hall and asked him for a car cushion. ”
"Oh, are you coming?" Chen Tingjiang immediately said: "Although it is your friend, we can't ask for other people's things in vain, you go back and ask how much this cushion is, you have to give the money to others." ”
"You don't know this, people's car cushions are not sold at all, this kind of car cushions are used to export foreign exchange. Master Lin opened his mouth to explain.
"Is it a foreign trade product?" Chen Tingjiang touched the cushion again, and praised it: "This feel, this workmanship, this material, should also be a foreign trade product." ”
Master Lin continued: "This car cushion is a new product, and my friend originally planned to take this car cushion to sign up for this year's Canton Fair, but it was unsuccessful and was knocked down by the hall. When he gave me the cushion, he also wanted me to help him see if he could help him go through the back door and give them a place to participate in the Canton Fair. ”
Master Lin didn't hide it, and directly put Li Weidong's participation in the Canton Fair on the surface, and deliberately said that Li Weidong was looking for him to go through the back door, but he seemed to be very honest.
When you are a leader, you like the kind of subordinates who are honest with themselves and hypocritical to others.
Chen Tingjiang also knew that Master Lin was so honest, in fact, he was helping Li Weidong through the back door.
Since Master Lin has clearly said that he has come to the back door, Chen Tingjiang certainly can't sit idly by.
As a leader, sometimes you need to help your subordinates do something, so as to increase the loyalty of your subordinates and let your subordinates do things for themselves.
To put it another way, isn't the reason why these subordinates are willing to follow the leader before and after the saddle is because the leader has power in his hands and can help solve problems? If the leader does not help with anything, then who will be the subordinate and will serve the leader with all his heart.
The Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has hundreds of places to participate in the Canton Fair every year, and it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.
And this car cushion looks really good, at least it can make Chen Tingjiang's butt much more comfortable.
So Chen Tingjiang said: "We can't always rely on selling coal, iron ore and oil to earn foreign exchange, such as the Canton Fair, international exhibitions should also give more opportunities for industrial products." In this way, when you go back, you can help me spread a word, and say that this car cushion will be given a place to participate in the Canton Fair!"
......
Getting the Canton Fair in this way is not in Li Weidong's plan at all.
It was a surprise to meet Master Lin, but the result was good, and Li Weidong didn't have to think about how to go to the scene.
In his previous life, Li Weidong participated in the Canton Fair more than once, but at that time, the scale of the Canton Fair was much larger, and two or three hundred enterprises from a prefecture-level city could participate in the exhibition.
In the Canton Fair in the 80s, the venue was still the Liuhua Road Pavilion, although it was expanded in 1986, but compared with the International Convention and Exhibition Center of later generations, it was simply different.
Since 1994, the Canton Fair has only begun to adopt the scheme of "provincial and municipal groups, chambers of commerce, pavilions and groups, and industry exhibitions", that is to say, in addition to the industry pavilion, each province and city can also set up a separate exhibition area for exhibition.
This method has great flexibility, for example, some professional enterprises, such as the field of machinery, chemical industry, science and technology, have their own special exhibition area, the same industry together, resulting in a group effect, buyers do not have to go around, in one place can purchase their own needs.
Some products or daily necessities with local characteristics are exhibited in the exhibition areas set up by each province and city, which can create differences, highlight different cultural characteristics in various places, and give buyers more choices.
In the 80s, the Canton Fair still adopted a simple industry exhibition mode, and the exhibits of the same industry would be put together. Those who sell silk are placed in the silk exhibition area, those who sell porcelain are placed in the porcelain exhibition area, and those who sell tea are placed in the tea exhibition area. The scope of the exhibition area is not large, basically a company, can only place one or two exhibits.
......
Li Weidong took Wang Kaiping to the scene of the Canton Fair, although the Canton Fair has not yet started, and the venue is also in a state of arrangement, but around the venue, many foreigners can already be seen.
Li Weidong is already strange to foreigners, but Wang Kaiping has never seen much of the world, and he feels very strange when he sees every foreigner, especially a foreign woman wearing a sleeveless dress and a small back exposed, which made Wang Kaiping stare at it for several minutes, and even saliva was about to flow out.
In the eighties, the Chinese still tended to be conservative in their dress, especially in small northern cities like Qinghe, and if a lesbian wore a sleeveless short dress, it was simply immoral.
"Wipe your saliva!" Li Weidong sighed lightly and said teasingly: "I really regret bringing you to the Canton Fair! Look at your virtue, it's like I've never seen a woman." ”
Wang Kaiping smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Your sister-in-law is strict, and the wall calendar at home can't be a female star." ”
"I just saw someone on the side of the road setting up a stall to sell gorgeous, and the calendar is full of beautiful women in swimsuits, and when I go back later, I will buy a set, which will not be the same for twelve months, and let you peek in the office. Li Weidong said with a smile.
The two laughed and walked into the venue of the Canton Fair.
"This place is so big!" Wang Kaiping looked around and couldn't help but exclaim.
"What is this, I don't think it's big enough!" Li Weidong said with a smile.
From the perspective of future generations, the Liuhua Road Pavilion is indeed very small, and in the future, many convention and exhibition centers in third-tier cities will be several times larger than here.
In the venue, the staff was arranging the exhibits, and Li Weidong could be regarded as visiting the exhibition in advance.
Each exhibition area occupies a small area, and the exhibition area is more like the counter of a department store, with rows of shelves with all kinds of exhibits.
Tea, silk and ceramics are relatively large exhibition areas, in addition to the Ministry of Foreign Trade designated to participate in the exhibition of the unit, various provinces have also brought this kind of enterprises.
On the tea counter, a dazzling array of tea cans are arranged into a small Great Wall, in the silk production area, all kinds of silk and satin are stacked in a boxy and neatly arranged together, and in the ceramic exhibition area, exquisite porcelain is also placed in a very orderly manner, bowls and plates are placed in the front, and vase ornaments are placed in the back.
"In front of it is the leather clothing exhibition area, and then in front of it is the clothing exhibition area, you should be able to see our products!" Wang Kaiping said.
The garment factory has made leather jackets, and the two naturally don't look down on those rustic leather coats, so they went straight to the clothing exhibition area and greeted them with more rustic clothing.
Li Weidong looked at the pattern on the costume, and couldn't help complaining: "Red flowers with green leaves, I think foreigners are stupid big sisters!"
Wang Kaiping walked around the clothing area and did not find the car cushion.
"Factory director, there is no cushion for us!" Wang Kaiping said.
"Although we are a garment factory, the products we bring to the exhibition are not clothing, so naturally we can't find them here. Our car cushions were arranged in the daily necessities exhibition area, and we still had to move forward. Li Weidong said.
"Oh, you didn't say it earlier!"
The two followed the sign and came to the daily necessities exhibition area, but saw a staff member who was removing the sign in the daily necessities exhibition area.
"What's going on? The daily necessities exhibition area is going to be relocated?" asked Wang Kaiping.
"The daily necessities exhibition area has been cancelled!" the staff member said: "I received a temporary notice that there are a large number of traditional embroidery to be exhibited, and the place is really insufficient, so the daily necessities exhibition area is changed to an embroidery exhibition area." ”
"What about the exhibits in the daily necessities exhibition area?" Wang Kaiping immediately asked.
"What else can I do, figure it out for myself!" replied the staff without hesitation.
