Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 314 Strange phenomenon at the exhibition

Niu Xiaoqiang thanked him repeatedly, and Fan Demin was very curious about his personal situation. After finishing the business, he started chatting with Niu Xiaoqiang, hoping to learn about Niu Xiaoqiang's personal information.

Niu Xiaoqiang also wanted to make friends with such a leader. Even if he couldn't make friends, it would be easier to talk about things when he got acquainted.So the two chatted very harmoniously.Through this exchange, each has a new understanding and evaluation of each other.

After Fan Demin learned that Niu Xiaoqiang and Fang Dongping had opened three factories, he had a higher opinion of Niu Xiaoqiang.It is not uncommon for private companies to set up factories these days, but those are basically family workshops, and the largest ones are only a dozen or twenty people.

Unlike Niu Xiaoqiang and Fang Dongping, the three factories run by the two have already recruited more than 100 employees. Such a scale is nothing compared to those state-owned enterprises, but compared to other private factories, it is very incredible.Niu Xiaoqiang also said that he wants to expand the machinery processing plant into an engine manufacturing plant in the future, which will be even more rare.

Fan Demin has been working in the office all year round, and he is still very accurate in seeing people.During the communication, he found that Niu Xiaoqiang looked very stable, which shows that Niu Xiaoqiang is not exaggerating, and what he said is confident.

After some exchanges, the relationship between the two became much closer than before. Niu Xiaoqiang seized the gap in his speech and raised a question that he is most concerned about now: "Uncle Fan, there is something I want to ask you about. For the Canton Fair, the product information I provided just now only includes toilet water and plaster, but my master and I are hurrying to make engine samples, if the engine can be produced by then, I wonder if we can temporarily join the ranks of exhibitors?"

This question really needs to be clarified. What if the Provincial Department of Light Industry disagrees with the temporary request to display the engine during the exhibition?In this way, wouldn't the efforts of Niu Xiaoqiang and Fa Dongping be in vain?Even their plan to accumulate funds to build an engine production line will be affected.

Fan Demin has been working in the Qinghua Department for so many years, and has seen many things that are both obedient and obscene.

For example, some exhibitors clearly advertised glass handicrafts, but put wooden root carvings on display when they went on display; some exhibitors clearly advertised canned oranges, but displayed buttons on clothes.Some were even more extreme. They clearly advertised clothing products, but exhibited mechanical gears.

The biggest reason for this result is that there are too few places, and there are too many companies in the province who want to participate in the exhibition, and many companies cannot get places.These companies refused to stop there, so they moved their minds, and some spent money to buy booth space from companies that had already obtained quotas, and put their products on the booth for display.

Some adopt the strategy of taking turns to exhibit. For example, several companies join forces to fight for a place. Once successful, everyone will take turns to exhibit their products during the exhibition, and no one will suffer.

Since there are signs of commodity categories hanging on the booths, this kind of behavior is not allowed.

You can't hang a sign that says food, but put an engine on it, right?If this is seen by foreign businessmen, will they think it is a mistake made by the sponsor?If it affects the image of the country, who will bear the consequences?

Fan Demin knew that Niu Xiaoqiang didn't want to take this opportunity to cooperate with other companies to make extra money. Most of the engines Niu Xiaoqiang mentioned were their own products.Even so, he still couldn't agree, because he was the supervisor who led the team, and he had to take responsibility for any problems.

I saw Fan Demin smiled helplessly: "Xiaoqiang, of course I understand the painstaking efforts of you and your master, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's because this kind of behavior is explicitly prohibited by the superiors, and as the main person in charge of leading the team People, if something goes wrong, you have to take responsibility.”

Niu Xiaoqiang had long expected that this matter would encounter obstacles, and he had already thought of countermeasures in advance, and begged: "Uncle Fan, can you arrange our factory booth next to the machinery industry booth?"

Fan Demin seemed a little surprised: "Your exhibits belong to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Why are you next to the machinery industry?"

Niu Xiaoqiang wanted to fish in troubled waters, and borrowed the booth of the machinery industry to display the engine.Of course, it is impossible for him to say these words to Fan Deming. He only said perfunctorily: "My master and I are more interested in machinery. It will be convenient for us to visit and study if we are close together."

Fan Demin laughed: "You mentors and apprentices are really interesting. You don't want to sell your own products, but want to learn other people's technical experience. Since you love learning so much, I will help you arrange it if you have the opportunity."

Niu Xiaoqiang was overjoyed and thanked immediately: "Thank you, Uncle Fan! It's just time to get off work, are you free in the evening? I would like to invite you out for a sit-down, thank you for your strong support to our factory."

No matter whether Fan Demin agrees or not, Niu Xiaoqiang will always invite him, otherwise he will not conform to the rules of Chinese people.In Niu Xiaoqiang's view, Fan Demin probably would not agree.He is the director of the department, so it seems inappropriate to go out to eat with a half-child like himself.

Sure enough, Fan Demin smiled and refused: "I have something to do tonight, let's talk about it later."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, stood up and said, "I know you are busy with business, so I won't persuade you. Next time I have a chance, I will treat you well, Uncle Fan, goodbye."

Fan Demin sent him to the door of the office, and seeing Niu Xiaoqiang coming down the stairs, he couldn't help sighing secretly: This kid is really nice, no wonder Lao Zhang values ​​him so much.

Niu Xiaoqiang and Li Yu walked out of the compound of the Department of Light Industry and Light Industry together. After they came out, Li Yu asked, "Secretary Niu, how do you arrange the evening? Do you want me to find you a place to live?"

Niu Xiaoqiang was concerned about the trial production of the engine, and asked, "Is there any passenger ship going to Qingjiang now?"

Li Yu looked at his watch: "There is the last passenger ship at a quarter past six. If you leave now, you should be able to catch up."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Then I'll rush there now, and spend the night at the Qingjiang River tonight, and I can take a car to the county town to meet my master tomorrow morning."

Li Yu was not reluctant, he personally sent Niu Xiaoqiang to the pier, and waited until Niu Xiaoqiang boarded the boat before leaving.

At 09:30 in the evening, the passenger ship docked at Qingjiang City Wharf.After getting off the boat, Niu Xiaoqiang walked all the way along the riverside avenue. After walking for more than 20 minutes, he arrived at the gate of the villa.

The lights on the first floor of the villa were on, and Niu Xiaoqiang knew Wang Xiaoxue was inside at a glance.He didn't take the key, and knocked on the door directly: "Xiaoxue, open the door."
