Chapter 227: Wearing Small Shoes
Wang Lili asked for information everywhere and didn't sleep all night, and when Hu Yiting had breakfast in the morning, she hurriedly ran to the restaurant to report to him on the spot: "Mr. Hu, this time I'm really angry!"
Hu Yiting asked: "What's the matter, Sister Wang, didn't you sleep well? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Wang Lili said anxiously: "I paid a few hundred dollars for the phone bill last night, and I asked people at home and abroad to inquire around, and several leaders in the Ministry of Electronics Industry said that this series of visits to Silicon Valley organized by IBM had a quota for us, but I asked the leader in charge of this visit to the United States, but he said that there was something to adjust temporarily, and he didn't tell me why he adjusted, why did he just adjust us? It really makes me angry!" It's not good for me to get angry on the phone for the sake of face, after all, people are officials, and if we wear small shoes for Chongguang Company in the future, then I will be too guilty. β
Hu Yiting was annoyed, but he was afraid that revealing it would make Wang Lili have negative emotions, so he said calmly: "Don't worry, nine times out of ten things are unsatisfactory in the world, come all the way to the United States once, how can you not meet a demon moth once." THAT, I ASKED YOU TO CONTACT CYRIX DID YOU GET IN TOUCH?"
Wang Lili heard Hu Yiting's comfort, and her face suddenly became much better: "Mr. Friedman of CYRIX promised us that he could let us visit one of their wafer factories in Santa Clara County, Silicon Valley, which was one of their tape-out experimental lines, and Friedman was very enthusiastic, he said that he didn't plan to participate in this COMDEX, but since we are back in the exhibition, especially Mr. Hu is going to give a speech, then he will also come to LV on the 15th." He also complained about why we didn't give advance notice and said that he would definitely take us to visit CYRIX's headquarters in Austin, Texas. β
Hu Yiting said: "It's good not to come for nothing." β
Wang Lili nodded: "In addition, I asked the president's office to contact Sun Micro, National Semiconductor, HP, Dell and other companies overnight, anyway, the upstream and downstream companies with whom we do business have been notified, and now there are fifteen visit projects that can be arranged with certainty." β
Hu Yiting took the small book handed by Wang Lili, looked at it and said: "Sun Micro will not go, now we Chongguang Software is engaged in system integration and network communication, and we can build our own workstations in the future, and we will not spend dollars to import their equipment." Of course, it would be good for National Semiconductor to arrange a visit to their R&D room, but I guess it's just a perfunctory look at us. There's also this one, there's no need to visit HP's computer manufacturing workshop in Sacramento, it's too far, and second, you can imagine this kind of thing, we are not interested in building computers......"
Hu Yiting and Wang Lili discussed and roughly determined the respective visit arrangements of several people, so Wang Lili then notified and arranged the itinerary non-stop.
Las Vegas is a drunken city, and in order to attract gamblers, there are various shows and entertainment throughout the year, unless you lose all your bottoms, and you come here to spend money dressed like dogs. Looking down from the hotel window, you can always see some drunkards on the street, police officers questioning passers-by, and some disgusting messes that have just vomited on the side of the road.
Comdex is the world's number one computer equipment exhibition this year, and if you don't mention the host city that raised prices and charges during the exhibition, then purely in terms of the scale and atmosphere of the 1995 exhibition, it is absolutely satisfying, manufacturers and distributors from all over the world are looking for opportunities here, engineers and tourists are here to broaden their horizons.
The day after Hu Yiting's army arrived in Las Vegas, on Saturday, November 11, 1995, the COMDEX exhibition was officially launched, in order to cheer up the comrades, Hu Yiting personally sat in charge, on the 11th of the day in Chongguang's booth for about a morning, because he did not receive any notice from international and domestic heavyweights to visit, almost all the Chongguang technicians were released on this day, carrying the company's $1500 pocket moneyIn Hu Yiting's words, "go and see other people's technology and ideas, look at other people's equipment and manufacturing processes, and then calm down and think, where are your own advantages and disadvantages?"
The platform was made of wooden planks, and the outside was covered with a piece of sky-blue decorative paper, which looked clean and bright, and a large sundial logo cut from foam was glued to the torii in front of the booth with quick-drying glue. Probably because the SANDS Hotel is a branch pavilion, the crowd here is far less than the main exhibition area of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Because Chongguang Company is the only exhibitor in China, the responsible comrades of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Electronics Industry came here to take a turn near lunch in order to show their care.
Fan Wenyong, director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, came to the Chongguang booth, with a condescending leadership, and said to Wang Lili, who came to accompany the visit: "You Chongguang is very good this time, take the initiative to come out, have the courage to eat crabs, this spirit of participation is worthy of affirmation." β
When several officials heard this, they began to applaud, and Wang Lili also applauded with the staff at the Chongguang booth, but the applause was not warm.
At this time, I heard Hu Yiting's cold voice from the side of the booth: "We are the only domestic enterprise to set up an exhibition, why did the ministry allocate the opportunity to visit and exchange Bell Labs, but we didn't get it? Director Fan, you have to give me an explanation!"
The questioning meaning in these words was obvious, and Director Fan was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed expression. Li Hengli, deputy director of the Department of International Economic and Trade Relations of the Ministry of Commerce next to him, immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense about this little comrade, the list of visiting and receiving units given by IBM, and how it is assigned are all IBM's business, and what does it have to do with the Fourth Machinery Department." β
Hu Yiting refuted without showing weakness: "It makes no sense to ask the horses to run well and not to eat grass! Before coming to the United States, Wang Tang, director of the department's communications and system equipment department, gave us a guarantee to Chongguang Communications, saying that as long as our CL08 program-controlled switch project set up a station to participate in the exhibition, we would arrange for us to visit American high-tech enterprises, and Ji Baoguo, director of the Computer and Information Technology Promotion Department, and Huang Fuye, director of the Major Engineering Department of Basic Products, also made such assurances to Chongguang Software and Chongguang Microelectronics departments respectively. It's good now, there is no fart arrangement, and the 70-odd people who co-authored our three departments of heavy light chips, software, and communications have spent more than 300,000 dollars to come to the United States to burn money!"
Fan Wenyong said unhappily: "You can't say that, after all, exhibiting in the exhibition is a good thing and good for your company." As for what Director Wang, Director Ji, and Director Huang have assured you, it is also their personal business, and the ministry treats exhibitors equally without any bias. β
After Fan Wenyong finished speaking, Hu Yiting felt that he had something to say, and immediately said, "Director Fan, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Lili hurriedly dragged the back of Hu Yiting's suit next to her, meaning not to make a fuss.
Fan Wenyong said with a calm face: "Don't say it again, this time the organization of domestic units to go to the exhibition is the sole responsibility of our International Cooperation Department, this is the arrangement of the superior leaders, I hope you will obey the arrangement of the state." β
Hu Yiting saw him pull up the tiger skin as a banner, and kept saying that the superior leaders and the state had arranged Yunyun, although he didn't believe him in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't help him, if he didn't suffer a dumb loss, he would tear his face and quarrel, but the problem was that even if he quarreled, the loss was still settled.
Wang Lili saw that Hu Yiting was silent, knowing that he was focusing on the overall situation, and hurriedly smiled: "If it weren't for obeying the instructions of the leadership and responding to the call of the country, then our Chongguang Company would not spend a lot of money to participate in the exhibition here, I believe that Director Fan is fair, our Chief Engineer Hu is a temperamental person, if you have something to say, you are a straight person, this is known to everyone in our company, if you are offended today, please also ask Director Fan Haihan." β
Fan Wenyong found the steps, then shook his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Comrade Xiaohu is still young, and the future is terrifying." β
After saying that, he turned around and left, and he didn't want to stay in the Chongguang booth for an extra minute.
Seeing that these people were retreating in a hurry, the staff left behind in the Chongguang booth comforted Hu Yiting one after another.
"Mr. Hu said it well, this is too annoying in the ministry!"
"That's it, what kind of leader is this, the level is really poor!"
"Eighty percent took the benefits of others and gave us the opportunity to regain our glory to others as favors. β
"We're wearing small shoes this time, right?"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Hu Yiting's eyebrows were secretly locked, and he thought to himself: "That's right, this time I was wearing small shoes! Damn, I don't know what kind of road this surname Fan is? Ya is so bold, do you really think that when you arrive in the United States, the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away, and he will have the final say in everything?"
