The 428 chief is coming

Nanjing, Jiankang Home Appliance Headquarters.

The China-Africa Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum, which was led by two private commercial enterprises, Jiankang Household Appliances and Daxiong Household Appliances, and with the covert and vigorous cooperation of various ministries and commissions of the state, officially opened today.

He Haifeng, Gao Zuxing and other officials of ministries and commissions wore suits and leather shoes, wore big red flowers with the word "guest" written on their chests, and stood outside the gate of the mall with a smile, welcoming trade ministers, industry ministers and business representatives from dozens of African countries.

According to Lin Zhenhua's original plan, about 500 African guests came to participate in the cooperation forum, but after the efforts of all parties and the deep interest of people from African countries in this unique forum, the number of merchants gathered in Nanjing reached more than 1,000. Among these merchants, in addition to those from Africa, there are also some merchants from Asia and Latin America, who also enjoy the free accommodation and other hospitality provided by the organizers.

Sub-Saharan Africa, with the exception of South Africa, does not have a high level of economic development, but this does not mean that these countries do not have purchasing power. Consumer goods such as color TVs and refrigerators are still affordable for urban dwellers in these countries. Traditionally, Africa has been importing home appliances from Europe and the United States, but later it has been imported from Japan. With the continuous appreciation of the yen, the cost of importing home appliances from Japan is also increasing, which gives the low-cost Chinese home appliances an opportunity to stand out.

This time, An Yan and Xiong Lijun mobilized more than 100 domestic household appliance manufacturers to participate in the forum, and He Haifeng organized a number of manufacturers engaged in daily chemicals, clothing, food, and other products to participate through the system of the Economic Commission and the Planning Commission. Due to the large number of manufacturers, the forum had to be divided into two sub-venues, one in Nanjing's Jiankang Home Appliance Headquarters, and the other in Shanghai's Daxiong Home Appliance Headquarters.

It is actually meaningful to let African guests travel back and forth between Shanghai and Nanjing. After arriving in Nanjing and Shanghai, they will definitely not only visit the venue of the forum, but will also take a stroll through the local commercial streets, which is equivalent to further expanding the space of the forum and helping to increase the income of the forum.

The day before, Lin Zhenhua had arranged for the reception personnel to conduct a thorough survey of the African merchants, and after understanding the prices of Chinese goods, the merchants said that they would sign large purchase orders at this forum. The forum has not yet begun, and Gao Zuxing has already received the news that the sales contract amount of this forum will not be less than 2 billion US dollars. Although this figure does not account for a large proportion of the country's total foreign trade, it is of great significance, which means that China's light industrial products have begun to enter the African market in a big way, which is very valuable for breaking the trade sanctions imposed by Europe and the United States on China.

"Director He, Minister Gao, don't stand outside the door, go to the venue to sit in the meeting." Lin Zhenhua stepped forward with a smile and said to He Haifeng and Gao Zuxing.

Gao Zuxing also said to Lin Zhenhua happily: "It's okay, let's stand here for a while, it's really happy to see so many foreign businessmen invited to come." Xiaolin, this time you have made meritorious contributions to the country again. ”

"This time it's not my credit, these jobs are mainly done by Mr. An and Mr. Xiong, I'm just a consultant." Lin Zhenhua said modestly.

Gao Zuxing said: "Xiao An and Xiao Xiong, of course, they also have a lot of credit, you can rest assured, our Foreign Trade Department will not treat them badly." However, I also know that the mastermind behind this whole thing must be you Xiaolin. Except for you Xiaolin, who can have such a big hand? ”

He Haifeng stood aside and said: "In this matter, Xiao Lin is the first credit, and Xiao An and Xiao Xiong also have a lot of credit. In addition, many of our offices in Africa and the Agency have also done a lot of work. After the forum is over, we will find all these heroes and hold a commendation meeting, and when the time comes, let Xiaolin sit in the front row. ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Don't you dare to be, I'm still guilty now, didn't you let me sit in the front row, didn't you make me make a mistake?" ”

Gao Zuxing was stunned: "What, Xiaolin, hasn't your problem been solved yet?" ”

He Haifeng said: "Minister Gao, don't you understand? Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. When he first dealt with Kobayashi, he could be described as resolute. It will not be easy to revoke the punishment of Xiaolin now. If the revocation is done quickly, doesn't it prove that the leader did something wrong in the past? Anyway, I'm going to have to drag you on for a year and a half? ”,

"What the hell is this?" Gao Zuxing sighed, "However, fortunately, Xiao Lin is not the kind of person who is easy to be defeated, and he is still working diligently with a punishment on his back." Director He, tell me, such a good comrade, those newspapers can actually give him so many uneasy words. ”

Speaking of newspapers, He Haifeng asked Lin Zhenhua: "By the way, Xiaolin, I remembered what Minister Gao said, I heard that you jointly put some eye medicine on the Southern Economic Tribune and pinched people's advertisements, how is the situation now?" ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled and introduced the struggle with Nandao, and then said: "Lao He, I didn't discuss this matter with you at the beginning, mainly because I didn't think it was good for you, a leading cadre, to get involved in this kind of thing. After we cut off the other party's advertisement, the other party suddenly relented. Their editor-in-chief, Tang Di, came to Nanjing to meet with me, apologized to me, and said that they had all misunderstood or something. ”

When Tang Di made an appointment with Lin Zhenhua, he naturally wouldn't say that he was afraid of the network behind Lin Zhenhua, so Lin Zhenhua still didn't know the real reason why Tang Di gave in to him, and thought that his advertising strategy had played a role.

"What misunderstanding? Can this kind of thing be misunderstood? He Haifeng said contemptuously, "I think, he should have been hurt by you and came to surrender?" ”

"That's about what it means." Lin Zhenhua said, "That Tang Di also told me that he hoped to turn enemies into friends with me, and he would not make negative reports on me in the future, but would give me more positive reports." However, I had no interest in the newspaper, and I told him at the time that I and they did not have a good water from the well, and that I did not need their positive reports or their promises not to give me negative reports. As I said, you have the freedom to report, but when you report, you have to think about whether you can afford the consequences. ”

"Well said!" Gao Zuxing said, "This is Xiaolin's temper." I always remember that at that Canton Fair, you didn't even give face to our Ministry of Foreign Trade, and I especially appreciated your toughness at that time. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Minister Gao, I was too young and vigorous at that time, I was really embarrassed. This time, a report by Nandao caused me to lose my official position, and I retaliated against them in turn, causing them to lose at least 20 million advertising revenue, which can be regarded as a rip-off. ”

"How about now? Are those home appliance manufacturers still advertising in Nandao? He Haifeng asked.

Lin Zhenhua said: "I left this matter to Yanzi and Lao Xiong to deal with, they also have their difficulties, and I am very grateful for helping me to this extent." ”

As for the advertising of home appliance manufacturers in the Southern Economic Tribune, a compromise was later adopted. An Yan and Xiong Lijun stepped forward and reached a verbal agreement with Tang Di. Tang Di promised to give a relatively large advertising discount to home appliance manufacturers across the country, while An Yan and Xiong Lijun withdrew their previous requirements for manufacturers and no longer interfered with their advertising on Nandao.

After hard work, Nandao regained some advertisers, but due to the loss of some and the discounts forced to give up, Nandao lost more than 10 million yuan in advertising revenue, which is equivalent to stripping off a piece of Tang Di's fat, which is enough to make him hurt for a while.

"It's better for you to deal with it like this." He Haifeng nodded and said, "This kind of behavior of using a monopoly position to coerce manufacturers to withdraw advertisements is against business rules." Although legally speaking, this is not a criminal offense, but it will affect the reputation of Jiankang and Daxiong. In the end, you can force Nandao to reduce the price of home appliance manufacturers, which can be regarded as an explanation to the home appliance manufacturers who cooperate with you. ”

"Nandao has rehabilitated you here, so the province should also take back your life?" Gao Zuxing was still thinking about this matter, and he said, "Xiaolin, if you don't think it's good to talk about it, I'll go and greet Jiangnan Province for you." How can a capable and pioneering cadre like you always stand aside like this? It's a waste of talent. ”

"No need, Minister Gao." Lin Zhenhua said, "I understand your kindness." I still solve the affairs in the province by myself. As a matter of fact, the comrades of the provincial investigation team have also talked to me a few times recently, and their tone has been somewhat relaxed, and it is estimated that what Director He said is looking for a step that can be justified. ”

He Haifeng smiled slightly and said, "Their political sense is really too dull. I'm still looking for steps, it's too late. Xiaolin, I can give you a message, and your problem will be solved immediately. ”,

"Really?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "Director He, how long do you mean by 'right away'?" Won't it be another half a year? ”

He Haifeng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It is estimated that it will be within half an hour." ”

"Half an hour!" Lin Zhenhua was taken aback, "Lao He, what do you mean?" ”

He Haifeng pointed to the front and said, "Look, it doesn't take half an hour. ”

Lin Zhenhua raised his eyes and saw that the bustling crowd in front of him suddenly separated to both sides as if they were pushed by something, making way for a passage. A business wagon sped along the passage in the crowd and stopped outside the door of the mall, only a few dozen meters away from where Lin Zhenhua and the others were standing.

He Haifeng pulled Lin Zhenhua and said: "Xiaolin, go, follow me to greet the chief, the chief has made a special trip to inspect our China-Africa Economic and Trade Forum, and he also personally named and said that he wanted to see you." ”

"Chief!" Lin Zhenhua was stunned for a while. At this time, he saw that the door of the station wagon had been opened, and accompanied by the staff, an old man who was not tall and in good spirits walked down. The old man raised his eyes to look at the mall in front of him, turned around again, looked at the onlookers who were stopped by the guards more than ten meters away, and then raised his hand with a smile and waved to everyone.

"Hello, Xiaoping!"

The crowd of onlookers suddenly boiled.
