Beijing Machinery Exhibition

Yang Quan stood in front of the exhibition hall of a company called Nippon Printing Co., Ltd., watching the staff operate and demonstrate the web offset press. Sheets of colored paper were quickly spit out from the merchant ships, and then bound into volumes to form color books.

Holding a colorful brochure in his hand, this kind of inconspicuous thing can be seen everywhere in later generations, and the roadside sales staff are crammed all over the subway, but at this moment, Yang Quan does have a long-lost feeling about this colorful brochure.

From the 80s to the early 90s, China's offset printing market was still dominated by flatbed machines, and the printing of books, periodicals and magazines was still dominated by black and white, and there were few full-color printings.

Looking at this kind of fast and simple printing machine, Yang Quan knew that this company would definitely be able to eat well in the next ten years. With technical content and can reduce production costs and delivery times, these advantages are enough to not be afraid of the challenges of domestic manufacturers in ten years.

China's book market is dominated by black-and-white printing. As long as a few years later, the Education Bureau stipulates that school textbooks should be printed in color or magazines and brochures begin to pay attention to this market, then this piece of land in Beijing can accommodate the development of more than 100 commercial turbines.

Yang Quan visited the exhibition for one day, and the equipment of the exhibition halls was roughly compared. The more I look at the current situation in China, the more worried I become, and I also know that in the next ten years, this piece of yellow earth will be invaded by various foreign technologies.

You can see the gap when you compare it to our current infrastructure, let alone the technology in the future. The gap is a decade smaller, and some technology gaps may be even larger.

In Yang Quan's view, Mr. Deng's policy is prescient, and only by persisting in reform and opening up, joining the WTO, and integrating into economic globalization can we not lag behind others in subsequent development. Open the market to absorb foreign technology and then integrate it, and develop and innovate new technologies of our own. Only by insisting on bringing in can we go out.

This is the only way that seems to be the way at the moment.

Yang Quan, who was tired of walking, sat in the rest of the exhibition hall of Ribang, and a young staff member handed over mineral water.

"Hello, comrade, drink some water. ”

Yang Quan looked at the young man in front of him, how did he feel like an RB person, but this Northeast Mandarin is a bit weird!

Yang Quan took the water and shook it and said, "Chinese?"

The young man said as he showed the badge to Yang Quan, the manager, Asada. "I'm from RB and I've been learning Mandarin since I was a child, my name is Asada, please take care of me. You are the first spectator to sit here and rest today, and this is the water that the company brought from RB. ”

Yang Quan looked at Asada and had already unscrewed the cap of the bottle without paying attention, but he was not happy to drink it after hearing this. I don't care if it's patriotic or not, I just don't want to hear it.

"Oh, I'm the first! You speak Mandarin well, like a northern accent, very fluent. Yang Quan said, put down the mineral water and said.

"Yes, I have been learning Chinese since I was a child, and I have been in the capital for three years. I wasn't in the printing industry before, I used to do wood. ”

"Wood?"

"It's our company's RB or European and American customers who give me wood samples and want this kind of wood. I'm looking for samples everywhere in China. I have been to various places such as the large and small Xing'an Mountains, Lingnan, and YN, and after finding the wood, I negotiated the price and processed it and then exported it. Asada explained simply.

As soon as he said this, Yang Quan knew in his heart what kind of industry he was talking about. Now there are still many ancient trees on the mountains of China, and it is no exaggeration to say that there are countless ancient trees that cannot be surrounded by a few people on the mountain. And this kind of good quality and cheap timber is lacking in developed countries. When Asada found this tree in the mountains that could earn foreign exchange, the local government or organization cut it down and sold it without saying a word, many of which were thousands of years old.

There is no right or wrong between them, capitalism they have dollar bills and need cheap materials, and the local government has a lot of money and needs foreign exchange, and both sides take what they need and make friendly deals.

It's just a pity that these ancient trees that have been born for thousands of years have been knocked down by capitalist sugar-coated shells, just like the cherished rare earth resources.

Yang Quan was very interested in Asada's experience, it was not easy to meet a foreigner in China at this time, and it was even more difficult to meet an RB person who could speak Mandarin.

"What about later," Yang Quan asked.

"Then I got married and had my first child. It's too tiring to be on the move. I went back to the headquarters and adjusted my position, and now I am responsible for developing the color printing market in China. Asada said.

"What does your company do?"

"Our boss is from a trading company, so what do you do. At RB, he is involved in real estate, jewellery business, timber, labor export, printing, etc. Printing industryWe have just entered the Chinese market, and now I am responsible for color printing, and we can also do anti-counterfeiting printing. You see the brochure says ......"

Although Asada knew that Yang Quan was not like a customer in need, and he also knew that this kind of young man could not make an order, but in line with the principle of beating children on a rainy day, he was idle anyway, and he introduced it for thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes later, Yang Quan almost understood what the manager had experienced in the first half of his life.

After graduating from high school, he worked as a railroad worker in RB for a year, resigned and joined the current trading company, and was sent to China to start various ups and downs with the advantage of being able to speak Chinese.

A few years ago, I ran through most of China, and I also knew a Chinese girl. After successfully getting married and having children, he began to transform into a stable printing without traveling everywhere, and he was very worried about the next printing industry, saying that although he knew that the Chinese market must have a demand for color printing, but when there was this demand, how many years to wait for but I don't know.

Not knowing means waiting, and waiting means no income, which is idle talent for a trading company, and it is a waste that does not generate profits for the company.
