Luo Hui accompanied Yang Sheng, deputy director of the Municipal Foreign Trade Bureau, for inspection.
He said with confidence all the way, "Our light trucks and agricultural vehicles are developed based on similar foreign products. The performance may be a little worse, but the price is cheap and they have great competitive advantages."
"According to the estimates of the sales department, there is no problem in getting an order of one million US dollars for this exhibition. It should be almost completed by today."
His words made Yang Sheng feel a lot better. Yang Sheng said, "I went around yesterday. Among the dozen or so participating factories in our city, except for the agricultural products from Xilin Farm, all industrial products were completely wiped out, and not a single one was sold.
Sanqi Company is the vanguard of municipal-owned enterprises, and the leaders have specifically instructed that this battle must begin."
"Mr. Luo, I'm counting on you to bring face to the more than eight million people of Nangang."
Luo Hui smiled and nodded, "Sanqi Company will certainly live up to expectations."
While talking, we came to the exhibition area.
Luo Hui pointed at Gu Tongfang and said directly, "Manager Gu, bring over the transaction list for the past few days and report the sales situation to Director Yang."
Gu Tongfang broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know whether it was caused by heat or nervousness.
"Director Yang, the situation is like this. Currently, three foreign businessmen are interested in purchasing our light trucks, and two of them have a strong interest in agricultural vehicles. At the same time, we are also actively contacting through the Nangang Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong to try to get a deal in the last two days.
Let's negotiate a few orders." Gu Tongfang said bravely.
The leaders' faces suddenly changed.
Luo Hui asked coldly, "What do you mean? Not a single order was signed?"
Gu Tongfang wiped her sweat and said, "We are still negotiating, mainly about price..."
"Price? Is the price too high?" Luo Hui frowned.
Seeing this, Wu Zhenghao on the side quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Luo, there is some gap in price, but we still have room to reduce prices. Lao Gu plans to talk to foreign businessmen again today and make some concessions on price.
Come and try to sign the order."
Luo Hui's face looked better now.
Yang Sheng said, "The price can be negotiated, Mr. Luo. Winning foreign trade orders is a big deal."
"Yes, please don't worry, Director Yang." Luo Hui said hurriedly.
Yang Sheng put one hand behind his back and waved the other hand gently, saying, "The cost is Chinese currency, and the exchange is foreign exchange. We are short of foreign exchange, comrades. In my opinion, price is not a problem, as long as we can place the order
If you sign it, the city will give you a certain amount of subsidies. Of course, market economy, market economy, ultimately depends on how your company considers it."
"I just count on Sanqi Company to give me credit."
Luo Hui said quickly, "I will write down the leadership's instructions. Sanqi Company will do its best to win foreign trade orders and bring glory to the people of the city!"
Yang Sheng walked to the rest area and sat down and said, "Invite the foreign businessmen over and let's talk on the spot."
Gu Tongfang and Wu Zhenghao were dumbfounded. How could there be any foreign businessmen!
Luo Hui glared and said, "What are you still doing? Go and invite all the interested foreign businessmen over and let's talk together."
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Wu Zhenghao went quickly and wanted to leave here first.
Gu Tongfang's reaction was a little slow, but Luo Hui stopped him and said, "Go and look around and bring some foreign businessmen over."
"Okay, okay Mr. Luo!" Gu Tongfang wiped her sweat and went.
Luo Hui stared at Gu Tongfang's back fiercely. He was not a fool. Judging from the reaction of his subordinates, he was probably cold. Then he asked Gu Tongfang to immediately recruit a few foreign businessmen to show off, otherwise the leader would lose face.
That would be difficult for everyone.
Indeed, several foreign businessmen came to see them, but none of them showed any intention to buy. However, many local businessmen came and were interested in buying Sanqi's light trucks. Trucks are important production materials, and many places have money.
You can't even buy it, you have to queue up.
However, Gu Tongfang didn't even look at them. Sanqi Company's light trucks were easy to sell in China, and very few of them could even leave the province. All production capacity was absorbed within the province.
Yao Yuan, who was not far away, heard everything clearly, smiled, shook his head and left. This scene fell in Luo Hui's eyes, but Luo Hui didn't know Yao Yuan and just regarded him as a spectator.
Yao Yuan walked to the passenger car exhibition area. Gu Tongfang walked around in a circle but couldn't attract any foreign businessmen, so she walked to the passenger car exhibition area.
The passenger car exhibition area was particularly lively this year. The exhibition was originally open to the public, so many people gathered in the passenger car exhibition area to see what was new.
Two classic cars worth tens of millions of dollars have become the protagonists of this exhibition area this year. They are both shipped from Hong Kong and are collectible classic cars from the 1930s and 1940s.
These two cars are the first choice to see what’s new.
For industry merchants, other ordinary cars are the focus. Of course, without exception, they are all imported cars.
Currently, there is only one domestically produced car, Shanghai brand, imitating Santana.
Yao Yuan first shopped around, but was not interested in most of the models. These models either did not meet China's national conditions or were expensive. In the next few years, only a few models would survive in China.
It can be summed up in eight words: average appearance, elegant and durable.
Santana and Jetta did it, so they became the sacred cars that saved Volkswagen in the future.
Yao Yuan stopped at the Chrysler exhibition area, his eyes resting on a business car with a mediocre and stable appearance.
Dajielong commercial vehicle.
In the 1920s, the commercial vehicle most seen in China was the Buick GL8, and most family cars were Honda Odyssey. It was not until around 2020 that many domestic car manufacturers launched commercial models one after another, and this slowly changed the classification of commercial vehicles.
situation.
The Dajielong entered China many years before the Buick GL8. Unfortunately, they did not seize the opportunity and gave up their leading position in commercial vehicles.
What Yao Yuan thought was that in the second half of next year, Sanqi Company would reach a cooperation agreement with Chrysler Corporation, and ckd would produce Grand Voyager commercial vehicles. Later, Sanqi Company simply changed the car logo to its own!
If BMW Machinery wants to follow this path, Sanqi will not be able to bypass the mountains. Competition between the two is inevitable. With the advantage of foresight, Yao Yuan has no reason to let go of the opportunity that appears in front of him.
He was about to go find the staff of the Chrysler exhibition group when he suddenly heard a conversation between two Americans standing next to the Grand Voyager.
"George, you should know that the price of Dajielong is higher. The Chinese people are too poor. There is no market here. We are participating in the exhibition just to complete the task. I really don't know what the upper management thinks. They actually think that China is
The second largest single market in the future is really puzzling." Danny, Chrysler's sales director for Greater China, said, shaking his head.
A middle-aged American named George, wearing glasses, said, "Our analysis at Walmart is actually the same, and we have a good look at the future of the Chinese market. However, I don't have much hope for purchasing goods from China. Originally, I didn't have much hope for purchasing goods from China.
I should be in Malaysia, as there are more abundant products in Southeast Asia. But the company’s senior management ordered me to come and personally take charge of the China Exhibition.”
"I don't know what these big guys sitting on Wall Street think." Danny shook his head and said.
Someone was shouting over there, and Danny apologized and walked over.
Yao Yuan suddenly smiled, strode towards George, and greeted loudly in the tone of an old acquaintance, "Hey, Mr. George, I've been looking for you for a long time, and I didn't expect you to be here. How are you? How many orders did Mr. Danny get? Just now
When I passed General Motors, I heard that they had signed orders worth millions of dollars, and Chrysler couldn't be left behind..."
