Chapter 92: Director Li's old rival
The Huajin Industrial Science and Technology Exhibition officially opened, and the exhibitors were ready the night before.
Z Time and Space also transported its own finished display to the site, a car made of parts printed by a 3D printer. Its appearance is not much different from a regular car and does not attract much attention.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Du Mingxuan, Li Gucheng and others arrived at the exhibition hall, and at ten o'clock, the mayor will make a speech to announce the official start of the industrial science and technology exhibition, and only then will the audience and media be allowed to enter.
"I heard that a lot of media were invited today, if we can make a hot spot, our company will be famous!" Li Gucheng said expectantly, in order to participate in the exhibition, he rarely wore a suit, and he usually wore his own factory uniform.
"This location is not very good!" Du Mingxuan observed, the place where their booth was located was in the left hall, and there were halls and right halls in front.
According to the normal order of admission, the audience and the exhibitors will first visit the hall, the right hall, and finally visit the left hall.
"Yes, the booths of the city's big companies are in the hall, and the audience and the media are mainly focused there. Li Gucheng said, "But people have arranged for us to come here, there is no way." ”
"When someone visits or asks, be sure to arrange someone to introduce you and don't go wrong. Du Mingxuan explained.
"Rest assured, these are all ready. Li Gucheng nodded.
The two chatted for a while, and then went to the booths of other companies to see what new things other companies had.
At present, the exhibition has not yet started, and the moves that those companies are preparing to attract attention have not yet been put out, and Du Mingxuan has not seen anything. However, he found that the small and medium-sized enterprises in the left and right halls really came to make soy sauce, and there were no industrial products that could be used.
Only the big enterprises in the hall have some proud achievements.
"The most central part of the exhibition hall are those big factories with annual revenues of more than 5 billion yuan! It is these enterprises that support half of Huajin City's GDP!" Li Gucheng was just saying, when someone suddenly shouted to him: "Yo, isn't this Director Li?"
Du Mingxuan looked at the people, and in front of a large booth in the hall, an old man with a fat figure and a bloated suit walked towards them. His hair was thinning and he was combing it as far down as he could.
"Director Li, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you're also coming to see the exhibition?" the man smiled, but didn't give Du Mingxuan a friendly feeling.
"Ge Dajun!" Li Gucheng saw him, and his relaxed expression just now suddenly fell, obviously he didn't want to see this person.
"Haha!" Ge Dajun smiled and said, "I haven't seen it for several years, I thought Director Li had retired!"
"You're not retiring, and I'm going to be able to work for a few more years. Li Gucheng said.
"Haven't you quit yet?" Ge Dajun showed a surprised expression, "Isn't your Xinsheng going to file for bankruptcy? Why, the factory hasn't been transferred out? Earlier, I'll introduce you to a few friends, maybe they're interested in taking over!"
"The depreciation of the equipment or something is sold, and the land is still worth a few bucks. ”
"Don't bother, now we are still opening well, and we can't finish the orders every day. Li Gucheng said.
"Business is so good! Congratulations!" Ge Dajun said congratulations, but there was no congratulatory expression on his face.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, who is this?" Ge Dajun noticed Du Mingxuan next to him and asked.
"This is our Xinsheng boss, Du Mingxuan. Li Gucheng said while introducing Du Mingxuan, "Ge Dajun, the boss of Kaida Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ”
Kaida Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., one of the top 15 enterprises in Huajin City, is also an auto parts supplier and a competitor of Xinsheng, just like Xinsheng.
However, unlike Xinsheng, when Du Mingxuan took over Xinsheng, Xinsheng was already on the verge of bankruptcy. The Kaida Automobile Manufacturing Company is getting bigger and bigger, and now its annual revenue is more than 7 billion!
"It turned out to be Mr. Du, fortunately!" Ge Dajun was a little surprised, "Mr. Du is really courageous, and he actually took over Xinsheng." A few years ago, I wanted to buy Xinsheng, but this Lao Li still disagreed, saying that he would never sell it...... Look at the present. ”
"It's different. Du Mingxuan said, "Now Xinsheng is much better than before." ”
"Really?" Ge Dajun was a little surprised in his heart, he knew that Xinsheng's factory was completely uncompetitive, how could it develop? This Du Mingxuan, could it be that Li Gucheng found the wronged boss and lost money to open the factory?
"If you have the opportunity, you really want to see it, they are all doing business in Huajin City, and they are peers, so I will invite Mr. Du to dinner another day. Ge Dajun said casually, in fact, he would not invite Du Mingxuan to dinner at all, because he didn't look down on a small factory like Xinsheng.
"What an honor. Du Mingxuan said perfunctorily.
"So, you're here for the show, I've been walking around here, why haven't I seen your booth?" he asked again.
"Our factory is small, and our booth is small, in the left hall. Du Mingxuan said.
"Oh, the left hall!" Ge Dajun seemed to remember, it turned out that there were still left and right halls!
"I haven't been there yet, I'll see it again when I have time. I'm busy now! I'll have dinner with Mayor Liu and those foreign guests, and other entrepreneurs and media interviews are also full! I'm too busy, Lao Li, sometimes I really envy you, if only I were so idle! The factory is big and there are many things!"
"Boss Ge is so busy, then you should be busy first, I, an idler, also have my own idle things. Li Gucheng said.
"Okay, I'll be busy first, and we'll talk when I have time. Ge Dajun said and left.
finally ended the awkward chat, and Du Mingxuan asked Li Gucheng, "Li Chang, don't you deal with Ge Dajun?"
"Hey, that pig guy!" Li Gucheng scolded in a low voice, "In the early years, when Xinsheng was doing well, he was a competitor to his Kaida. ”
"This guy looks smiling on the surface, but in private he has a bad stomach. He bought off the personnel in our factory, and what order we Xinsheng wanted to sign, he would grab it at a lower price. poached a few technicians, managers, that I had cultivated with great difficulty. ”
"The patents that our factory made with a large investment were directly taken away by these people, and the most hateful thing is that they actually sued us for infringement. We didn't win that lawsuit, and we suffered a lot of losses in reputation and economy!"
"In this way, our factory is not doing well, but Kaida has become bigger. Later, he also wanted to buy Xinsheng, but I directly refused. ”
"So that's the case!" Du Mingxuan suddenly realized, no wonder Li Gucheng's attitude towards Ge Dajun was so bad, it turned out to be an old enemy.
