A few days later, Zheng Youyuan's phone call came to Lu Yiming, and he said to him enthusiastically: "In two days, there will be the Baiyun International Electronic Products Fair, and I think our Mingyuan Technology can definitely go there to show off.

.”

When Lu Yiming heard this, he immediately felt that this was a good idea: "An electronic product exhibition? This is really a good opportunity to promote USB flash drives."

As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of red furnace fire. Mingyuan Technology has complete patents and core technologies of USB flash drives. With its powerful product functions, it is difficult to think of it as popular.

Zheng Youyuan obviously thinks so too, so he attaches great importance to this matter: "Many giant companies in the industry will come to participate in the exhibition, not only domestic electronic product brands, but also some well-known international brands in countries, island countries, and even Europe and the United States.

Brands will also come to join in the fun. So I was thinking, should we also participate in the exhibition?"

In the past, Zheng Youyuan was engaged in OEM, so he was basically not qualified to participate in such trade fairs.

However, now that Mingyuan Technology has developed a new gadget like a USB flash drive that is not even available in developed countries, Zheng Youyuan naturally wants to show off his face and show off his power.

Of course, Lu Yiming would not refuse this kind of free advertising, and immediately said: "Of course I want to participate in the exhibition. It is a good thing to participate in the exhibition. I support it with both hands."

The more developed countries are, the more computers there are, and the demand for USB flash drives is naturally greater, which is of great benefit to the development of Mingyuan Technology.

So of course you should go if you can.

Seeing that Lu Yiming had said this, Zheng Youyuan immediately said enthusiastically: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

In the classroom, after finishing the call with Zheng Youyuan, Lu Yiming directly touched Shi Qingxue's side and whispered in her ear: "Are you free in the next two days? There will be an electronic products exhibition. There should be a lot of them there.

New stuff, I will take people to the exhibition when the time comes, do you want to come and have a look too?"

Shi Qingxue was not very interested in digital products, but as soon as she heard that she could go shopping with Lu Yiming, she agreed without hesitation.

Unwilling to be left alone, Li Quanwang also licked his face and came closer, without any intention of being a light bulb: "There is an electronic products exhibition, I want to go too."

"The Romance of Fairy Wood"

Lu Yiming immediately patted Li Quanwang on the shoulder and smiled like a chicken: "Hey, originally I was worried about finding some coolies to help me, but since you signed up so enthusiastically, I can't bear to let you down.

Good intention. In this case, you can go and work when the time comes."

As soon as he heard that he had to go back to work, Li Quanwang's face suddenly fell down. His listless look was like that of Tom Cat with a droopy face. Even Shi Qingxue couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

On Saturday morning, Lu Yiming, who was dressed formally, brought Li Quanwang and Shi Qingxue to the venue. As soon as they arrived, as far as they could see, the place was already crowded with people.

When Lu Yiming approached the door, a female employee wearing glasses saw his figure from a distance and recognized him. She immediately ran over in small steps.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Zhao Na, the staff here. Just call me Xiao Zhao. Mr. Zheng arranged for me to come and pick you up."

After saying that, she took out the prepared pass and work badge and handed them to Lu Yiming's hands respectfully.

Li Quanwang stood on tiptoes, looked around, and then couldn't help but sigh, "It's so lively here. I didn't expect it would attract so many people."

He had previously thought that this kind of exhibition would be attended by big business people, or at the worst, small business owners who came to buy goods. He really didn't expect that there would be quite a few tourists coming to visit, and the venue would be packed to the brim.

Walking into the convention and exhibition center with brisk steps, the three of them saw a group of young ladies in cool clothes doing a hot dance on the stage. The twerking and hip movements, and the long, snow-white legs were so swaying.

It makes one's blood boil.

Those who had cameras had already taken out their cameras and started taking pictures non-stop. Li Quanwang's eyes were widened as he looked at it, obviously unprepared for the scene in front of him.

Shi Qingxue looked puzzled, walked up to Lu Yiming and asked quietly: "Didn't we agree on the Electronic Products Expo? Why is there such a performance?"

Lu Yiming looked back at her cute look with her little mouth pouted, smiled and explained: "The exhibition is like this. It's like most men go to the car show to see the car models. I guess they really want to see the cars.

Not many."

Shi Qingxue put her hands on her hips and stared at Lu Yiming with a coquettish expression: "Okay, what about you? Are you the majority here?"

Lu Yiming quickly denied it: "No, no, no, a young, rich, handsome and handsome man like me is certainly a minority among the minority, and one of a kind."

Shi Qingxue giggled when she heard this: "You guy, why are you so shameless? How can anyone praise themselves like this?"

While talking and laughing, the three of them hung their work badges around their necks and wandered around the venue casually.

Li Quanwang and Shi Qingxue saw the excitement, while Lu Yiming saw the various information hidden behind the exhibition, and even the official policy trends.

The Baiyun International Electronic Products Fair was held for the first time in 1998. The exhibition area was only 10,000 square meters. There were not many manufacturers participating in the exhibition. There were even few domestic original brands. In the core area,

Exhibitors are basically all internationally renowned large companies from Baodao, Bangguo and Daoguo, showing off their muscles.

Among them, a total of thirteen companies from Baodao came to the mainland, which can be said to be a group coming to the mainland to make money.

In contrast, the mainland's electronics industry started late and at a low level. Even in the 21st century, a large number of mainland manufacturers are like Zheng Youyuan. They are doing hard work as OEMs and have few own brands.

, there are even fewer independently developed core technologies.

But Lu Yiming could see that by holding this kind of exhibition, the official intention was to encourage private enterprises to carry out technological innovation, hoping to keep the core technology in the hands of their own people, so as not to have to look at foreigners and rely on others all day long.

Although the results are not yet significant yet, Lu Yiming knows that this is the only correct path.

It's just that the road ahead is long and difficult. I don't know how many of the Xiaguo companies participating in the exhibition today will survive twenty years from now.

Once you take the wrong path, even if you can make some quick money, it will not last long and you will be eliminated sooner or later.

Lu Yiming is very clear that in the next twenty years, the domestic electronic product industry chain will become more and more complete, and if a company wants to survive and develop from it, it must find its position in advance, and then calm down,

Work hard in the technical field.

For a moment, Lu Yiming couldn't help but be immersed in his own thoughts.

Shi Qingxue followed him around for a while and found that Lu Yiming's face was deep and thoughtful, so he asked, "What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought."

Lu Yiming smiled, but did not talk about these heavy topics with Shi Qingxue. Instead, he asked: "Is there anything you are interested in? The electronic products that can be sent here for exhibition basically represent the most popular products of this era.

Cutting edge technology.”

Shi Qingxue shook her head and said, "There is nothing I want to buy."

A woman's feeling when looking at electronic products is roughly the same as a man's feeling when looking at cosmetics. No matter how advanced or fancy it is, it won't reach that point.

Later, Shi Qingxue asked curiously: "Where is your Mingyuan Technology booth? Why didn't we see it along the way?"

Lu Yiming said helplessly: "This is the core exhibition area, and no one with a registered capital of less than 60 million can enter."

Although the total investment of Mingyuan Technology has reached 200 million, the registered capital is only 10 million.

Registered capital refers to the total capital of a joint venture registered with the registration management agency, which is the total amount of capital contributions that have been paid by all parties to the joint venture or that the joint venturers have promised to pay.

There is a big difference between the concepts of registered capital and registered capital. The former is the amount of property granted by the state to the enterprise as a legal person for operation and management or the enterprise as a legal person's own property.

Therefore, Zheng Youyuan and Lu Yiming jointly invested 200 million yuan to create Mingyuan Technology, which does not mean that the registered capital of Mingyuan Technology is 200 million yuan.

Shi Qingxue was a little surprised and asked: "Where is the exhibition area of ​​Mingyuan Technology?"

Lu Yiming said: "It's outside, let's go take a look."

According to the evaluation standards of the Electronic Products Expo, companies with a registered capital of less than 60 million are basically classified as small and medium-sized enterprises. The core exhibition area is out of the question, and you can only find a corner in the peripheral exhibition area.

.

However, given the current situation, it would be great for Mingyuan Technology, as a local technology company, to come.

The three people turned back outside and found the booth of Mingyuan Technology. The booth area was very small, probably less than twenty square meters, and it was the size of a facade room. It could be said that it was quite unpretentious.

However, although the booth is small, both Lu Yiming and Zheng Youyuan attach great importance to this exhibition. From the moment they obtained the qualification to participate, they led the construction team to start various decoration arrangements. They even ordered a few directly from Jianlai Technology.

The most popular "future technology" series of computers purchased in Taiwan, with a cool black chassis and a sci-fi style booth, are really eye-catching.

Therefore, although the area is small and the location is average, in terms of coolness, it can surpass the surrounding booths by several blocks.

This also made the bosses of the booths next door complain like crazy. They felt that Mingyuan Technology was simply crazy. It only used a temporary venue for ten days in total, but it spent so much money to decorate it. Is it wrong?

Mingyuan Technology didn't think much about it at that time. This was the first exhibition and it was held by a very small number of mainland technology manufacturers, so it naturally put great effort into it. Not to mention anything else, the decoration cost alone cost 100,000 yuan.

But this would make the surrounding exhibitors uncomfortable.

We are afraid of comparison in everything. If you, Mingyuan Technology, stand out from the crowd, won’t you make us look like weaklings?

Especially Aotian Technology, which is right next to Mingyuan Technology's booth. The boss, Long Aotian, came here to sell floppy disks. Originally, the product had no special features and he earned hard-earned money. Now that he is compared to Mingyuan Technology, his situation

It suddenly became even more difficult, and I felt like I wanted to cry without tears.

After all, the manufacturers exhibiting in the peripheral exhibition area are basically unknown small manufacturers, and their working capital may not even be 100,000.

However, Lu Yiming directly spent 100,000 yuan to decorate a booth that only took ten days, 10,000 yuan a day, making the surrounding small exhibitors envious.

Soon, Mingyuan Technology attracted the attention of many tourists with its sci-fi elements. Many tourists stopped in front of the booth.

"When did a company called Mingyuan Technology appear in China?"

"Cool, how about we go in and take a look?"

“This booth is so cool.”

For a time, many tourists came to the small exhibition hall.

Someone asked: "What do you sell here?"

Immediately, a beautiful staff member in professional attire appeared, enthusiastically took out a cartoon-shaped USB flash drive and said: "Hello customer, this is our product USB flash drive, this one is our classic animation series. This USB flash drive is

The product independently developed by our Mingyuan Technology has obtained an international patent. Its function is to replace the floppy disk. By plugging this thing into the B interface of the computer, you can copy the files in the computer to it at will and insert it into another computer.

You can copy the files to a computer, which is very convenient.”

While giving the oral introduction, the staff member personally demonstrated the use of the USB flash drive on the computer.

We are afraid of comparison in everything. When compared with a USB flash drive, a 35-inch floppy disk not only carries less information, but is also afraid of being squeezed, vibrated, and aged.
