Chapter 18: Exhibitions
This exhibition hall is about nearly 10,000 square meters, divided into two floors, the first floor is the main display place for brand image and new products, new technology and new style are the essence here, so the customers here are basically the leaders in the industry.
Compared with the first floor, the second floor is much shabby, for here, the venue is too lazy to pay attention to it, not only the decoration is much worse, even the most basic lounge, toilets and other necessary facilities are not provided; Specious products, often a few tourists after seeing it, also shake their heads, disappointed.
I heard that they later lasted for only one day at the three-day exhibition.
Li Shaohui followed Xia Xue and began to visit the big customers on the first floor to learn about their product information and subsequent development trends.
Watching Xia Xue and these so-called workplace elites talking and laughing, flirting and scolding, Li Shaohui was really bored and bored, and he accosted those white-collar beauties in the name of understanding the product. Not to mention, all the beauties who can come here are not simple, they are beautiful in appearance and talk extraordinary, in comparison, Xia Xue doesn't seem to be so brilliant.
"Hui Wazi, what are you doing?" When Xia Xue asked Li Shaohui, Li Shaohui was carefully looking at the beauty in front of him with a modest and studious attitude, her black hair was simply tied in a high ponytail, and she was slightly powdered, which was very beautiful; At this time, this beauty was seriously introducing Li Shaohui, and she didn't pay any attention to Li Shaohui's pervert appearance...
After a while, Li Shaohui, who was disturbed by the good things, had to continue to follow Xia Xue, boringly visiting customers, those elite men who read countless women all coveted Xia Xue, Li Shaohui had to endure his anger while sighing that he still underestimated Xia Xue's charm.
Finally tired of wandering around, Li Shaohui and Xia Xue could finally sit in the lounge to rest, and at this time, Li Shaohui finally had a chance to release his anger, because when Li Shaohui was talking and laughing with that big beauty just now, Xia Xue directly came to the magic knife: "Hui Wazi, you have been staring at people for so long, what do you want to do? Look at you, you are disgusted to death, and you are still sucking." It was originally a pleasant conversation because of Xia Xue's words, which caused the beautiful woman to look at her angrily and walk away.
Therefore, Li Shaohui was very dissatisfied with Xia Xue, how could he have a color to squint? That is called appreciation, okay? Besides, he is not drooling! At most, he is thirsty and a little spitting, but that is also the natural reaction of the body's mechanism!
However, Xia Xue didn't care about Li Shaohui's anger, she still casually frowned at those perverts who ran in front of her, abandoning Li Shaohui, a sunny boy, and letting him act as a light bulb, which is no benefit at all, to forcibly say that there is a little benefit, that is, those perverts know that Li Shaohui is Xia Xue's little follower, but at the same time, Li Shaohui has also become a thorn in their side and a thorn in the flesh.
Li Shaohui sighed that it was difficult to find a good teacher, but he was a little rookie who was miserable by Xia Xue, and it is estimated that none of these big customers on the first floor want to take care of his own thorn in the flesh.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Shaohui was very angry, and couldn't help but complain to Xia Xue again, Xia Xue was not angry, just smiled and continued to taste the coffee in the cup.
After a while, Xia Xue asked Li Shaohui, "Do you know whose booth the beautiful woman you went to talk to just now?"
"Who knows?" Li Shaohui didn't have a good breath.
"That's a subsidiary of Xingmang, I heard that the only daughter of the boss is currently exercising at the grassroots level, and she should have come to this exhibition. Xia Xue pinned the hair on her forehead behind her head and said slowly.
"Do you mean that beauty just now is the daughter of Xingmang?" Li Shaohui asked in surprise.
"It's possible! You don't see that although she is just an inconspicuous little white-collar worker, the colleagues around her respect her very much, and no one dares to go against her will. Xia Xue looked at Li Shaohui and analyzed seriously, but the evil smile on her face became thicker and thicker, with full of schadenfreude.
Li Shaohui meditated on the scene just now, that girl's beautiful momentum is indeed different, it seems that she is a star nine times out of ten. But he was framed by Xia Xue just now, and he has already left a glorious impression of a stinky hooligan, how can he start the work of Xingmang?
The angry Li Shaohui looked at Xia Xue again, the initiator, Xia Xue at this time, with a smile on her face, looking innocent, Li Shaohui was angry, and hated it.
"Hui Wazi, I'm good for you, don't look at that girl's beautiful appearance and good temperament, that's a pampered master, very wild in her bones, and her means are not weak, you are definitely not someone's opponent, and you can't submit to others. Xu is Xia Xue was tired of laughing, and she didn't want to tease Li Shaohui anymore, so she persuaded her.
"Then I'll surrender you, okay?" Li Shaohui said viciously, I don't know where Xia Xue can learn so much, she has been chatting with that beauty for so long, why didn't she find anything except that she was beautiful?
"What do you want?" Xia Xue stood up and gave Li Shaohui a burst, and Shi Shiran went to the toilet.
"Oh, by the way, there are still customers on the second floor who haven't visited!" Li Shaohui looked at Xia Xue's back and suddenly thought of the upstairs, he knew that Xia Xue didn't care about those small shrimps and fish, but they were different for themselves, they were their own lifesavers, besides, flies are also meat!
When Li Shaohui went up to the second floor, he was surprised to find that it was really a heaven, an underground, and the second floor at this time looked more like a vegetable market that was about to end.
Li Shaohui walked around aimlessly, and there was neither a product that attracted him, nor a single customer he was interested in.
Suddenly, a small exhibition hall appeared in Li Shaohui's sight, it was in a corner in the northwest, the front and left were open spaces, and the booth on the right was also ready to withdraw in the exhibition that had just begun, leaving only this stubborn little booth to stick there arrogantly, like a scholar who had never met in ancient times, looking very lonely.
When Li Shaohui approached, he found that this booth was smaller than what he had just seen, about four or five square meters, which could only accommodate a small table and chair, and the table was placed with small accessories such as motor springs, and the product manual was handwritten with a brush, elegant and neat, on this high-tech artificial intelligence platform, it was both literary and shabby, and the old man sitting on the stool, with gray hair and a kind face, was wearing a half-worn Mao suit, and was meticulously wiping the product, when he saw Li Shaohui, he put down the work in his hand and smiled kindly: "Little master, what do you want? You can come and see, our products are cheap and high-quality, and there is no bullying for children. The old man said this with a serious and proud expression, with a little outdated persistence and pride.
Li Shaohui nodded in agreement, this company has been in contact with him before, and the obedient voice contact is this old man, he is the only customer who listened carefully to his stammering product introduction among his 543 business calls, and he is also the only customer who chatted with himself calmly, which made his heart warm when he was very self-doubting.
And he also said that he would have the opportunity to recommend customers to himself in the future, and he didn't care about it at first, but after a few days, this old man really took the initiative to call himself to introduce customers, which made him very moved, which is the most heartwarming thing that he felt from graduation to the society he was born in...
…
The three-day exhibition passed in a flash, and as the exhibition ended, everyone in the retail department took a long breath and finally could relax and rest.
"It's this kind of anticlimactic game every year, but there are still so many people who are keen on it, I really can't understand it. Shi Lei and Li Shaohui followed each other all the way back to the office and couldn't help complaining.
Li Shaohui deeply sympathizes, this exhibition is indeed thunderous and rainy, in the splendid exhibition hall, various unheard of companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, their booths are gorgeous, their products are also strange, unseen, and they are also in suits and leather shoes, modest and elegant for customers to seriously boast about the products.
Li Shaohui, who had just arrived, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but admire it sincerely. But with Xia Xue's explanation, Li Shaohui understood that this was just a scam with a beautiful appearance.
The so-called new companies here are just the project departments that the big companies are almost cutting off, and they have become an innovative high-tech Internet company by taking advantage of the market rules, putting on a new coat, and turning into an innovative high-tech Internet company.
Their products are also old soups in new pots, stir-fried leftovers from a few years ago. When they meet their peers, they will argue with reason and defend themselves without hypocrisy, and if they meet people who do not know, they will coax others to the point of telling the head with their incorruptible tongues until the order is signed. And they will also use it to cheat VC money for other purposes, thus forming a business model that seems to be very stable.
This huge national exhibition was crowded and lively on the first day, but as they got to know each other, those who really needed it had to return with regrets, leaving only salespeople like Li Shaohui struggling to find customers.
On the third day, the three-day exhibition was already crowded, and many companies began to dismantle the exhibition, and at about one o'clock in the afternoon, the world-renowned "new retail, high-tech, innovative" exhibition came to an end, and the preparations of the retail department were basically burned.
Li Shaohui couldn't help but sigh, maybe the current innovation of the Chinese people is still stuck in the moment when everyone gathers together, shouting the slogan of "innovation, innovation", but there is no actual action, if this behavior can be named, it should be called "lively innovation".
