Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 310 Quota of the Canton Fair
Wang Xiaoshuang is becoming more capable now, probably because her work is getting smoother and smoother, which has boosted her self-confidence a lot, and she walks with her head held high.

In order to get rid of Niu Huahua, Niu Xiaodong deliberately clamored to write a love letter to Wang Xiaoshuang, but later this matter was exposed by Niu Xiaoqiang, which made Niu Xiaodong very embarrassed. Now every time he sees Wang Xiaoshuang, he feels uncomfortable and smiles a little awkwardly.

Wang Xiaoshuang greeted several people with a smile, and then walked towards the telephone with Niu Xiaoqiang.

Wang Deshui applied for the installation of this telephone. It took more than half a month to go to the post office to install it, and the cost was higher than expected. It cost more than 100 yuan in total.There is no way, the post office is a monopoly operation, so it is not easy to talk to them for work.

Niu Xiaoqiang asked as he walked, "Didn't he tell you what happened?"

Wang Xiaoshuang shook her head: "He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, walked to the phone and picked up the receiver: "Brother Li? I'm Niu Xiaoqiang, what can you do with me?"

Li Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I want to participate in this year's autumn Canton Fair, what's the attitude of the factory?"

The Canton Fair is held twice a year, divided into Spring Fair and Autumn Fair.Although Niu Xiaoqiang had read a lot of extracurricular books sent by Mr. Li, but there was no information related to the Canton Fair recorded on them, he couldn't help but wondered: "What is the Canton Fair for?"

"The full name is the Import and Export Commodities Fair. It is a commodity trading platform specially provided by the country for domestic and foreign merchants. It has everything in it. At present, our sales volume has declined. We continue to develop a larger market. I think the Canton Fair is a very It is a good platform to expand the market, so I want to apply to the factory.”

Niu Xiaoqiang was a little puzzled: "It's only the first ten days of July, and there are still nearly three months before the autumn fair. Why did you apply so long in advance?"

Li Yu explained: "This is because if you want to do business at the Canton Fair, you must register in advance. Only after the approval of relevant departments in various places can you be eligible to participate in the fair. This year's autumn fair has begun to accept registration. Due to the limited number of places, I was worried that I would not be able to catch up if it was too late, so I applied to the factory in advance."

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang realize that the Canton Fair is indeed a good platform for promotion, so he nodded, "The factory agrees with your application, and you can do it yourself."

Li Yu smiled wryly: "Secretary Niu, you are oversimplifying things. The booth area in our province is fixed, and the number of exhibitors is also fixed every year. Many manufacturers have no chance to participate in the exhibition. They want to get a quota. , there must be a way."

Niu Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes: "Before looking for a way, I want to ask you, do you think the chances of us successfully selling the product are high? If not, then we don't need to waste favors. If there is hope, let's go beg It’s not impossible.”

Human relations are very special. If you ask for more, you will lower your worth, and you need to use more benefits to make up for the favors you owe to others.

Now that Niu Xiaoqiang's career is booming, he is no longer the poor boy he was in the past. Naturally, he has to carefully weigh the matter of asking for help.Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship is, if you use too much favor, it will be as weak as water. When it is really needed, it may not be useful.

"The market response of our products is very good. As long as you give me a chance, I think the chance is still great."

"Okay, the factory will help clear up the relationship."

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news."

After hanging up the phone, Niu Xiaoqiang returned to the machine tool and reported the matter to Fang Dongping.

Fang Dongping's eyes lit up: "This proposal is very good. We must pay attention to it. As long as we earn more money, we can purchase equipment and build an engine production line."

Niu Xiaoqiang also thought the same way, he nodded: "I'll contact Zhou Hongbao now to see if he has any connections, if not, then I can only trouble Zhang Guangmao."

The result of the contact was a bit unexpected for Niu Xiaoqiang. He originally thought that with the name of Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery, he could easily get a quota, but the actual situation was much more difficult than he imagined.

Zhou Hongbao replied in this way: "Xiaoqiang, this matter is not easy to handle. Our province only has so many places to participate in the Canton Fair every year, and there are only nine left in Qingjiang City. There are at least two to three hundred enterprises in the Qingjiang area. Every year, there will be bloody battles for quotas. Now that the domestic machinery industry is in a downturn, the machinery industry is fighting even more fiercely. There were factory managers who fought for it. Although Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery is a key enterprise in the city , but we are in the petrochemical industry. Foreign petrochemical machinery products are much more advanced than ours. Only we buy from others, and they will not buy from us. Therefore, no quota is allocated every year. Even if I don’t want this face, It is impossible for the city to give me a place to participate in the exhibition."

Zhou Hongbao didn't shirk it, the actual situation is indeed like this.

Domestically produced petrochemical machinery and equipment are all digested in the country, and there has never been any precedent for export. This is because the top technologies are mastered by foreign petrochemical giants, and domestic petrochemical machinery factories can only produce low-end equipment.

Everyone belongs to the huge system of the Ministry of Petroleum, and they all know the basics. There is no need to introduce and promote their products through exhibitions. Therefore, it is difficult for companies like Qingjiang Petrochemical Machinery to get a quota for the Canton Fair, and only those large ministerial-level companies Only then did I have the opportunity to show my face.

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Uncle Zhou, do you think Secretary Zhang can get a quota?"

Zhou Hongbao thought for a while and said, "Large domestic oil fields go to the Canton Fair every year to inspect and purchase equipment from foreign companies. Secretary Zhang will definitely organize a team to go there. Give him a call and ask?"

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "That's the only way to go."

Niu Xiaoqiang is going smoothly now. Ever since Zhang Guangmao went to Pingjiang Oilfield to take office, he has never called the other party for help.Now, for the quota of the Canton Fair, Niu Xiaoqiang had no choice but to use Zhang Guangmao's relationship.

He once helped Zhang Guangmao solve the matter of his daughter studying abroad. This favor is very great, and Zhang Guangmao is not an ungrateful person. Niu Xiaoqiang felt that Zhang Guangmao would definitely help him as long as he asked.

"Hey, I originally wanted to save this favor for an emergency later, but now it's better, so I can only use it in advance."
