Canton Fair, the full name is China Import and Export Fair, but this happened later.
The original Canton Fair only had exports as a product to break the Western blockade and obtain foreign exchange. It was not until 2007 that it became import and export.
Jiang Chen didn't know much about this, but he knew that the Canton Fair was a very good platform and an excellent opportunity to earn foreign exchange.
So he had plans to participate in the exhibition. The reason why he dared to boast that he would be rich by the middle of this year when he first came to Beijing was essentially because of this trade fair.
Now this has finally happened.
The Canton Fair is divided into spring and autumn, and the time is basically fixed. Spring is from April 15th to May 5th, and autumn is from October 15th to November 4th.
The spring trade fair of this year's Canton Fair is coming soon. As usual, almost a month in advance, trading delegations from various provinces start counting and collecting exhibit samples.
Within the province, the Provincial Department of Commerce is responsible for this matter, and the specific selection of exhibiting products is organized and submitted by the municipal commerce bureaus at the local level.
I don’t know how other places would handle this matter. Anyway, the city was simple, so I called and asked them to come over to have a meeting to discuss organizing a group to participate in the exhibition.
Jiang Chen's trip was also delayed because of this.
Of course, this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is a great thing and extremely important.
Because there will be a big event next, the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
Don't underestimate this matter. Whether you can embark on the fast lane of development, whether you can preemptively get the cards you want depends on this time.
Don’t think that it’s still early. If you really want to plan things out by then, it will be too late.
Looking closer, the time when Lenovo's stock price will hit bottom is about to arrive. At the same time, the layout of the Silicon Valley Internet industry must be launched as soon as possible.
In fact, this is the field he is truly familiar with, and where the profits are most astonishing.
Taking the bursting of the Internet bubble two thousand years ago as the boundary, the Nasdaq index soared in the front and plunged in the back. In this ups and downs, it was an unprecedented and epic market. As long as the operation is done well, a wave of fat will be achieved.
By then, let alone individuals, the gap between countries can be shortened by ten years, and at the same time, there will be a period of opportunity for development.
This is also the only opportunity in the next thirty years to change the global landscape and shorten the gap between countries. Once missed, we will have to be honest in the future. If we want to make a comeback, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
In the final analysis, these all require money, and it is outside money.
With this in mind, he first called the State Intellectual Property Office to inquire about the progress of the international phase of the sprayer patent.
The situation is not bad.
Patents are divided into domestic patents and international patents. The sprayer patent has been transferred to the international stage after the domestic patent was obtained a few years ago.
This stage can actually be accelerated because China is one of the contracting countries of the pct International Patent Contract Organization. According to the rules, the international patent transfer procedure is handled by the International Patent Department of the State Intellectual Property Office.
Since it is our own, there is naturally room for maneuver, at least in terms of time. As long as we pay attention to it and have dedicated personnel to handle it, we can get the international search report and enter the national stage very quickly.
This is almost the case with the company's sprayer patent. Because it attaches great importance to it and has a dedicated person in charge, the international phase has been completed long ago and is currently in the specific national phase.
Achievements have been made at this stage. Many European countries have already won it, and a few countries such as Germany and Germany are still applying.
There is nothing you can do about it, because at the national stage, applying for a patent in another country is a matter for that country and you cannot intervene. You can only wait.
But the problem is not big, because there is no one abroad. It is only a matter of time to apply for it, and during this period, according to the rules, the patent is protected by law.
But then again, since I have made this call, I still have to mention a few other patents.
It will also be a cash cow in the future. If we come down early and enter the international stage early, it will be easier to arrange in the future.
After he finished the matter and thought about it for a while, he came to the R&D department.
The situation is not good.
Although it is not difficult for these people, the size of the chip is so small that it still takes time to design it.
Not to mention making samples.
As a result, the washing machine will not be able to catch up and will have to wait for the autumn fair in October.
For this reason, come to think of it, he still made coin-operated and card-operated ones.
If you can apply for a patent, try to apply for one, because it involves an application scenario.
In short, although the magnetic card type is advanced, it may not be suitable for all occasions. The magnetic card also has its limitations, that is, it needs to be stored and recharged.
On the other hand, although the coin-operated type and the card-operated type are not so advanced, they still have their advantages, that is, they are less difficult, can be produced relatively quickly, and do not have high requirements for application scenarios.
Especially the coin-operated ones, which can be installed in three to five days, and there are no recharge problems. In terms of practicality, they are the most widely used.
This will also make it easier to fulfill the promise to Logan, because she has already completed the investigation and may need a washing machine at any time.
After explaining these things, he found Yangmei in the pickled cabbage workshop.
"Canton Fair?"
"Sauerkraut?"
"No, did I hear you correctly? How can the sauerkraut produced in the factory be used in such a high-end event?"
Although she became a boss, Yang Mei was still not used to sitting in an office, and was surprised when she heard this.
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Let's try it, maybe foreigners also like to eat it?"
Since you are going to participate in an exhibition, the more product types you have, the better.
Moreover, he knew that sauerkraut was also eaten abroad, because all the good ones in the flag-planting vegetable industry were exported, and those sold domestically were all pitfalls.
This is also the most disgusting part, there are double standards at home and abroad!
Yang Mei smiled and nodded: "Okay, if you say go, then go, but you have to tell me what to prepare."
"There is nothing to prepare. Didn't Uni-President design the packaging? Just refer to that, make some slight changes, remove the Uni-President logo, replace it with ours, and then make it into a large vacuum package that weighs half a pound.
In addition, health licenses, food processing licenses, certificates of honor issued by the city, etc., prepare everything you can."
That’s what it means.
After all, sauerkraut is ready-made, and food is exported at the Canton Fair. In this case, what is needed is good packaging.
The packaging must be high-end and eye-catching, so that it can win favor and sell at a high price.
As for the license and so on, that is just in case of emergency.
Yang Mei was also very interested in this matter, and suddenly thought of it again, and said hesitantly: "But we signed a contract with Tongyi, about the order of 1,500 tons. The contract said that it cannot be sold to others until it is completed. Now let's go
Will there be any problems when accepting orders from the Canton Fair?”
"What's the problem? The contract stipulates that we won't sell to others before the order is completed, but it doesn't say that we are not allowed to accept the order!
We can still take orders, and as long as we get them, there are plenty of ways to do it.”
Jiang Chenhun didn't care.
But it’s true that I haven’t contacted Uni-President for a while. The last time I talked to Wang Yong was in the first and second days of junior high school.
So I made a special call and asked about the current situation of Tongyi and how the Laotan pickled cabbage noodles were doing.
