After the visit, the leaders had a simple lunch in the canteen of the supply and marketing cooperatives at noon. After several months of operation, the canteen of the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative, with its bright and clean venues and clean and rich dishes, has become the first choice for ordinary citizens in Xizhou to eat daily. For the sake of this exhibition, the canteen is closed for one day today. Although Yang Liufang had summoned the master of the factory canteen and his mother-in-law back to ensure the supply of lunch at the fair, the meal of 1,500 people still exhausted all the staff in the canteen. Due to the limited dining space, the staff was specially arranged to remind everyone not to gather in the canteen and stay for too long, and please visit the exhibition site after eating. So the canteen was bustling, crowded, messy, hundreds of plates were cleaned 6 times, and the guests had to end their meal.

Many years later, at the Xizhou Investment and Trade Fair, which was developed as a prototype of this exhibition and comparable to the Canton Fair, Yang Liufang felt very ashamed to see the orderly exhibition site and the comfortable and clean dining environment. He can only secretly rejoice that this exhibition is in the northwest in the early days of reform and opening up, coupled with the underdeveloped transportation, the main guests are only the heads of the township supply and marketing cooperatives in the northwest province and neighboring provinces, and few of us have walked out of this reckless loess plateau, and most of them have never seen the world, otherwise this kind of disorderly large-scale activities can only be laughed at and generous.

The opening ceremony and the exhibition ended in one day, and the next day was the signing ceremony of the event. The signing ceremony was still held in the Provincial People's Hall, because they didn't know how many heads of supply and marketing cooperatives who would be willing to sign the contract, so they only prepared 500 marketing contracts. I didn't expect that the activity just started two hours, 500 agency contracts were all signed, the contract stipulates that each agent should pay a deposit of 20,000, the deposit by the Xizhou Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperatives hardware store to configure 20,000 sanitary ware products, sales can be returned after the sale, sales are good, and continue to supply according to sales needs. In this way, 500 contracts means 10 million in revenue.

The separate account of the store department poured into 10 million in a few hours, which shocked President Li of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and he immediately made a report to the Provincial Department of Commerce. It just so happens that there are a few people in charge of supply and marketing cooperatives who have not signed a contract who know the leaders of the Provincial Department of Commerce, and they have poked out the matter through personal relationships, saying that Yang Liufang is hungry for marketing and favors one over the other. The leaders of the Provincial Department of Commerce couldn't sit still and hurriedly reported to the Provincial Party Committee.

The Provincial Party Committee immediately instructed the Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperatives to meet all the guests who were willing to sign the contract. The provincial leaders did not plan to attend the closing ceremony, but in the face of this situation, they had to adjust their schedules and send the vice governor to attend the closing ceremony in person, at which the vice governor invited the guests to meet again next year.

The provincial people's government, which saw the development opportunity, issued the "Preferential Measures for Encouraging Foreign Investment in Northwest Province" that week, and passed laws and regulations to protect investors like Yang Liufang who are engaged in the construction of Northwest China. In order to conscientiously implement these measures, the Provincial Planning Commission has set up an office for the use of foreign capital projects, which is set up for county-level public institutions, and has assigned 15 personnel to serve them, who are pioneers who are determined to devote themselves to the construction of the great northwest of the motherland.

The exhibition ended successfully, after the news media reported a lot, the supply and marketing leaders of the three northwest provinces who did not participate in the meeting also called President Li to seek a way to sign a contract. In this way, through the supply and marketing system, Yang Liufang got more than 100 contracts from other three provinces and cities. At the end of the exhibition, Jiesheng had a rough idea of the sales results, and urgently returned to Yiwu to start production at full capacity, and urgently transferred goods by special train. Yang Liufang arranged for Wang Shan to lead his subordinates to deliver goods to the agency according to the contract, and let his apprentice Shi Yong lead the workers to dismantle the temporary site. He and Brother, Yanhua, and Xinye gathered in Li Tongfu's new office to count the costs and benefits of the exhibition.

They signed a total of 800 agency contracts before and after the whole exhibition, with a total revenue of 16 million, and sent registered mail to the post office for settlement of 20,000 yuan; The Wolongshan Hotel and other hotels in Xizhou where the guests stayed settled a total of 30,000 yuan for the guests' accommodation; The bus company settles 10,000 yuan; The site layout is its own workers, and the material cost is more than 6,000 yuan; The canteen is its own, and the staff and Uncle Han of Yantan provide a total of 10,000 yuan; In the early stage of the event, Jiesheng sponsored 50,000 yuan in the name of the manufacturer; It means that they only spent more than 26,000 yuan through this exhibition, and created 16 million revenues. At the end of the final settlement, Li Tongfu's office was boiling, Zhang Feng, Qin Jiajun, and Yinhua, who heard the shouting, also joined in, Yang Liufang was young, and he jumped on his brother's desk excitedly, danced in a circle, and announced loudly: "Fight again in the coming year, with a target revenue of 50 million!" ”

Wang Shan led two subordinates to spend a whole month to send out the goods sold at the fair, and the sanitary ware products stacked in the field were sold out. Fortunately, the goods sent by Jiesheng from Yiwu were relatively timely, otherwise they would really face the situation of having no goods to send. At this time, their warehouses have been fully constructed, and the new goods are directly stored after they arrive, and they are not disturbed by the sandstorm this autumn.

According to media reports, the heads of several of the larger hotels in Xizhou, who smelled the business opportunities, approached Yangliufang's factory and asked for Simmons to be replaced in the room so that they could meet the standards and receive guests attending the trade fair next year. Thousands of orders poured in, and Shi Yong and Shi Fang led the workers in the factory to produce day and night, but they still could not meet the continuous market demand. The eight workers in charge of pulling the springs were so tired that their arms were tired and swollen, and painkillers were attached to the critical places. Shi Fang's eyes were dark and sleepy, and he went to the master to ask the master to see if he could get into a lathe that they had visited the Simmons factory in Nanjing, so that eight tension spring workers could be freed to make the bed with the two of them. These eight workers have been in the factory for a long time, and the combination and cutting of basic carpentry and office furniture can be carried out independently, and they are trapped in the tension spring workshop, which causes a waste of human resources.

Yang Liufang readily agreed, and called Li Tongfu of Xizhou Supply and Marketing Cooperatives in his new office in the furniture factory, and the call was answered by Qin Jiajun, saying that Mr. Li took Xinye and Zhang Feng to inspect the Hongtuzhuang tannery project and send color steel tiles. Yang Liufang immediately asked Shi Fang to clean up, and he personally drove a motorcycle to take Shi Fang to the Hongtuzhuang tannery construction site.

Since the construction of the furniture factory and warehouse in Shibi Village was completed, the wealthy Yang Liufang asked Secretary Shi to lead his factory construction team to Hongtuzhuang to build the tannery factory. As we fought in the sandstorms, the construction of a tannery complex had been completed, and the workers were temporarily living in it in order to expedite the construction of the factory's offices and canteen. As soon as the motorcycle turned onto Hetan Road, Yang Liufang felt that Shi Fang had fallen asleep on his back. He slowed down and enjoyed the scenery of Zhaomagou as he drove.

When he passed by the newly built airport highway viaduct, he found that the bridge deck and not far away were full of large construction machinery working in the roar. The Great Northwest, like this airport expressway, has unconsciously stepped into the fast lane of development.

After crossing the viaduct and riding for more than ten minutes to reach Hongtuzhuang, he did not walk to the village road, but directly walked on a new industrial road built in the village for the tannery. The newly opened road did not catch up with the time for tree planting, and now it is bare on both sides, and the road surface is a bit barren and dilapidated due to the crushing of bricks and cement and sand vehicles. A bump, Shi Fang, who was asleep on Yang Liufang's back, was woken up. When he woke up, he found that his saliva was flowing on Yang Liufang's back, and he told Master embarrassedly in the back. Yang Liufang admired this steady and cautious apprentice very much, and tilted his head to tell him that it was okay.

The two of them arrived at the gate of the factory in a short time, around the factory and on the side of the road inside, this year, Secretary Shi led everyone to plant a newly planted willow tree through the invasion of autumn frost and sandstorms, and there were still sparse leaves on it, but it looked much more standardized, neat and vibrant than the bare industrial road.

Yang Liufang saw that the trucks of the furniture factory were parked next to the construction site and turned into an open field, and Secretary Shi and Zhang Feng were directing the villagers to unload the color steel tiles. Different from the first time to build a factory with asbestos tiles to temporarily put together, this time, including the warehouse and workshop of the furniture factory, Yang Liufang has used this kind of color steel tile with a thickness of 20 cm, which is simply a magical invention in Yang Liufang's view. The upper and lower layers of iron sheet are strong and durable, and the middle layer of polyaniline board is insulated and insulated, and unlike asbestos tiles that are not sunscreen and cannot be stepped on during maintenance, even if a 200-pound fat man goes up to repair the color steel tile roof, there will be no danger.

As soon as they entered the factory, they saw Brother Ah transferred out accompanied by Accountant Li, and Wang Xinye followed behind them. They walked and talked, looking very happy. Seeing Yang Liufang coming, Secretary Shi and Zhang Feng came over to say hello first, and then Brother Ah and Accountant Li also came.

"Brother Shi, you have worked hard."

"What a hard work! Now that the villagers have money to make and their families have hope, it's too late for me to be happy. ”

"Brother, Brother Li, what are you two talking about? So happy. ”

"Accountant Li suggested that the tannery let Xinye's sister go back to Forget Qingchuan and recruit some skilled sewing craftsmen for us. It just so happens that Secretary Wang's mother-in-law and aunt are also forgetful, and they are actually Accountant Li's matchmaker. They have to discuss going back together to recruit people. ”

"Well, it's just that they're managing well. Then let Accountant Li take you to visit Secretary Wang as soon as possible, and ask her mother-in-law to go out of the mountain, I heard that it is still the women's director, right? Then simply everyone in the two villages who is familiar with leather sewing can come in, and the strong young man also needs it, after all, the handling and transmission of leather needs people! ”

"Okay. What are you doing here? ”

"Shi Fang reflected that the workers of the furniture factory could not bear it, and suggested that the tension spring lathe, the purchase of equipment I am not familiar with, you have seen a lot, so bring him to you to report to the batch of money procurement."

"Oh, where?"

"We participated in the Simmons exhibition in Nanjing, and when we visited the factory, we took a photo, Shi Fang, and took it out for Mr. Li to see what the lathe looked like." After hearing this, Shi Fang hurriedly took out the photo from his bag and handed it to Li Tongfu.

"Oh, this one. It is estimated that this kind of equipment can only be purchased in Guangzhou. It just so happens that the tannery wants to purchase equipment, and recently I am going to take Wang Shan on a trip, Shi Fang, you will arrange a knowledgeable person to join me? ”

"The people we know here, except for my master, are my senior brother. I definitely don't dare to send my master, and even if I dare to send him, I don't have time. Mr. Li, then invite my senior brother to go with you. Although Shi Fang slept for a while, his head was still confused at the moment, and his tongue twister-like words made everyone laugh.
