Chapter 105 Toy Trade Exchange Meeting

Putting down the coffee cup, Wang Weiwei said, "Mr. Zhang, don't you mind if I find someone to help in the company, right?" ”

"Hehehe, my request is very simple, that is, to do a good job of the magazine, as for who you want to ask for help, I have no opinion." Zhang Shaoping pillowed the table and asked with a very interested expression, "I'm just a little curious, is this person you are looking for a man or a woman?" Is it a handsome guy, or a beautiful woman? ”

Tan Yanyu said that this woman's taste is more strange, but she kept silent about how strange it is, which inevitably makes someone ignite the fire of gossip and automatically make up for the lingering and sympathetic fragrant scenes of the two beauties.

"What do you say?" Wang Weiwei glanced at the unscrupulous young man, got up, and left Zhang Shaoping with an arrogant back of his head.

Her name is Bai Lan, and she is a Chinese consultant for a commercial market research company, and she has first-hand information about all walks of life. She's in the toy club right now. When she walked out of the café, Wang Weiwei explained.

A commercial market research company?

didn't say it, such a person is too important to Zhang Shaoping, who has just arrived!

He immediately became hot and said with a smile: "Well, you sisters are very affectionate, I'm the boss, and I'm very humane, so you can tell her to come to work with confidence, and the salary is generous." ”

New York is said to be big, for example, it is an international metropolis, with a huge population base of more than 15 million, which is three times that of Hong Kong, which is staggering. It's also very small, and now, when I come to the New York Toy Trade Exchange, at a glance, there are many Orientals with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. The two places in the Bay are the most popular among them, especially the toy manufacturers in Hong Kong.

The world's toy production center has been shifting, from the United States to Western Europe, and then to East Asia's four places, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and a few years ago, Hong Kong snatched the leading throne of "the world's first toy manufacturing center" from the hands of the world, accounting for 65% of the world's toy manufacturing, reaching unprecedented prosperity.

So, at the toy exchange meeting, from time to time, I heard some people speaking in Cantonese.

Wang Weiwei joked: "You Hong Kong people are powerful enough, the world's toy market is almost half of the country's toy market occupied by you, if one day you say that I don't do toys, I don't know how many children in the world will spend a nightmare childhood without toys!" ”

Zhang Shaoping shook his head and said: "We are only engaged in manufacturing, making hard money, without technical content, and sooner or later it will be replaced by cheaper manual work." Although the toy manufacturing of this country, Europe and the United States has decreased, it is far ahead in terms of creative design, and they rely on copyright fees to create a big toy country. We're so close! ”

"Hehehe, you are indeed short board in creative design, but with the accumulation of time, you will slowly make up for this."

Zhang Shaoping smiled and didn't refute, but he knew in his heart that if he didn't stick a shot, Hong Kong would not be able to make up for this fatal shortcoming. Although Guangdong Province in the mainland has taken over the baton of the manufacturing center, when it comes to the innovative design of toys, it still cannot enter the world's toy giants' clubs.

Because the more you go to the back, toys are no longer alone, but are closely integrated with various industries such as game development, film and television production, and animation development, forming an industrial chain, all of which are indispensable.

"The Empire State Development Corporation in New York is working on an exhibition center that will move the toy trade fair there when it's completed......"

The Empire State in Wang Weiwei's mouth is another name for New York State, and the Empire State Development Corporation is an economic development agency with leading authority in New York State, which is a non-profit enterprise that aims to improve New York's competitiveness, improve New York's investment environment, and promote New York's comprehensive economic strength.

If your business is looking to expand into New York, look no further than Empire State Development, whose department in charge of international business development will provide you with the necessary help and useful information.

Looking around, Zhang Shaoping found that there were many Middle Easterners at the exhibition, and he was immediately frightened. This product was too poisoned by the news of terrorists in later generations, and at this time, I couldn't help but ask a little worriedly: "Miss Wang, is the security check here strict?" ”

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

Wang Weiwei suddenly saw Zhang Shaoping's uneasy look, and couldn't help but feel strange. Even Hu Mufang and Chen Feihu felt inexplicable.

Zhang Shaoping said in a low voice: "If the security check is not strict, it will be a big trouble for the bombers to sneak in!" ”

Wang Weiwei couldn't laugh when she heard this: "That's it? ”

"Be careful!"

As a crossing party, Zhang Shaoping is afraid of the neurosuicidal behavior of terrorists from the bottom of his heart, and he is ruthless to others, but it is rare for people to be so ruthless to himself.

"Little man!" Wang Weiwei said disdainfully.

"Hey, what do you mean by that? Do you mean I'm timid, or am I young? ”

"What do you say?"

Wang Weiwei twisted her graceful posture, looking for people.

Walking in the toy club, Zhang Shaoping was an eye-opener, with all kinds of toys. Electric toys, educational toys, toddler toys, outdoor toys, wooden toys, long-haired stuffed toys...... Subdivided, remote-controlled cars, remote-controlled airplanes, ragdolls, building blocks, puzzles, electric cars, Rubik's cubes...... Pick, even the electric game console is available, it is really complete enough, which makes people dazzled.

"Isn't there a toy fair in Hong Kong, why don't you seem to have seen it?" Wang Weiwei was puzzled.

Zhang Shaoping snorted and said, "I was in the middle of it. The mainland of the country, there is no time to go. ”

Hu Mufang: "Busy with work. ”

Chen Feihu: "I don't like toys. ”

Wang Weiwei glanced at the three of them with beautiful eyes, feeling weird.

There are three well-known toy fairs in the world, namely the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany, the New York Toy Fair in the United States and the Hong Kong Toys and Games Fair. The former is generally held in January and February, while the New York Toy Fair is held in February and the Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair is held in January, and the exhibition time is basically fixed within 4 to 7 days.

For a few days, if you want to see it, how can you not make up your free time?

"Oh, I see Brandy."

Following Wang Weiwei's gaze, I saw a 25 or 6-year-old beautiful girl sending and receiving survey forms, looking capable and capable, and when I got closer, this woman had a kind of oriental subtle beauty in Xiu Yahui, which was extremely attractive.

Zhang Shaoping couldn't help but be stunned, she was obviously a typical strong woman, but she looked like a good wife and mother, which was too much of a contrast.

"Lan Lan!"

"Vivi?"

Bai Lan turned around, saw that it was Wang Weiwei, and her face was also happy, and she asked with a smile: "What are you doing as a clothing editor, the toy fair should be an entertainment version, right?" ”

As she spoke, she turned off her small voice recorder, PressMn.

Wang Weiwei smiled and said, "Who said I couldn't come?" At the exhibition, don't you wear clothes, are you still stripped naked? ”

"Female rascal." Brandy chirped.

After laughing for a while, Bai Lan looked at Zhang Shaoping and the others, and said with a smile: "Weiwei, why did you bring a friend here and not introduce me?" ”

"My name is Zhang Shaoping."

Without waiting for Wang Weiwei to speak, Zhang Shaoping smiled and introduced himself first.

Wang Weiwei glanced at him suspiciously, and then said, "This is Mr. Zhang's assistant, Miss Hu Mufang, and Mr. Chen Feihu, who is attached to him." ”

"Hey, are you also from Hong Kong here for the Toy Fair? But I didn't seem to see you a few days ago? Bai Lan asked with a little curiosity while shaking hands with Zhang Shaoping.

"Why do we have to be Hong Kongers? Can't you come from the mainland or Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand? ”

Bai Lan said with a smile: "You don't know this, the general overseas Chinese, the Cantonese spoken are the dialects of Taishan and Panyu, followed by Hokkien and Chinese, your Cantonese bite is too correct, you know that you are Hong Kong people when you hear it." ”

"You're only half right, Ah Hu is from Guangdong Province."

"Really?" Bai Lan suddenly had a feeling of seeing a fellow countryman, and his eyes were full of tears, "I'm Shang. Hairen, who immigrated to the United States 5 years ago, has not been back to his homeland for a long time, and he doesn't know what has become of his hometown? Hey, can you tell me about it? ”

"Haha, you're asking the right question, I often run north, and I'm a middle. National Communication. I'll tell you......" People looked at Chen Feihu and asked, but Zhang Shaoping posted it with a smile and said enthusiastically.

Wang Weiwei was always on guard against this girl, and someone wanted to stick to it, so she immediately quickly blocked in front of the little sister, and said vigilantly: "Hey, what do you want to do?" Want to rub oil? ”

"Huh?" Zhang Shaoping was stunned, and said with a haha, "I'm happy to meet my old acquaintance in another country, and I want to chat with Miss Bai." ”

"It's strange to believe you!" Wang Weiwei gave him a hygienic eye, and then explained to Bai Lan with a face, "Lan Lan, don't be deceived by this guy, Yan Yan can tell me, others are big ghosts, have heavy tastes, flower intestines, and look for mature women to start!" ”

"Hey, am I as bad as you say?" Zhang Shaoping looked innocent, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't have any crooked thoughts about Bai Lan, he just cherished talents, wanted to be hot, and recruited the other party to the company.

"Suspicious motives!"

"......" Zhang Shaoping almost fainted, and said after a while, "Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you." ”

He couldn't find the words to refute it, he couldn't say it directly, I was going to the market research materials in Bai Lan's hand. This is too utilitarian!

Zhang Shaoping is purely cautious in the belly of a gentleman, and Bailan readily agreed to Wang Weiwei's invitation, of course, she only agreed to the title of consultant in the new company, but did not resign from the market research company.

That's all, Zhang Shaoping is not satisfied, according to his ideas, he hopes that Bai Lan will directly help him set up a market research department and provide some necessary data, such as pre-film research, box office statistics, audience classification, magazine reader feedback system, etc., and even economic prosperity research reports, etc., all of which need to be done by very professional personnel.

If Zhang Shaoping wants to go further in the media, an authoritative and efficient research department is a must, such as the "Fortune" "Fortune 500" company list, "Forbes' "400 richest people in the United States" rich list, all have their own research teams. The Forbes rich list was created only last year, and many of the detailed rules have not yet been perfected, and only involve the United States.

This kind of thing, if it is done, it is completely feasible!

Before coming to the United States, Zhang Shaoping always thought that Forbes magazine was already a behemoth, and its influence was comparable to that of Fortune magazine, but when he arrived in New York, Zhang Shaoping learned that Forbes magazine used to follow the trend of "Fortune" magazine, and announced the "Forbes Top 500" ranking at the same time every year, but after doing it for a long time, it could not compare with the influence of "Fortune 500". It wasn't until last year that Forbes suddenly changed its approach and played the rich list, which became an instant hit.

has only been a year ahead, and Zhang Shaoping's confidence in pulling the other party off the horse as a crossing party is simply bursting.
