In her previous life, Cheng Hui was soft-hearted and muddled, and lived a miserable life.
Under the tears of her stepmother, she gave her job to her sister and went to the countryside for her...
Chapter 324 His factory director is so generous!
Cheng Hui has been in confinement for more than ten days. Since she gave birth to the baby herself, there was no tearing and she recovered quickly. She can move around the room without any problem.
Since it was a matter of export, she had to give some instructions in person, so after getting "fully armed", she met Zhang You and Sun Biao in the living room.
"No matter what, these furniture have to be placed in the venue. As long as they are put in, we will be halfway to success." Cheng Hui said.
"These folding sofas don't need to be brought into the venue. You can deliver them to several popular hotels for free." Cheng Hui said.
When the Canton Fair arrives, local hotels become extremely crowded.
At the beginning, foreign businessmen had no place to stay and had to add beds in the hotel corridor! You can imagine how tense it was.
Over the past decade or so, Guangzhou has been building hotels like crazy, and the situation is much better now than a few years ago. However, it is only better for foreign investors, while locals still have to sleep on the floor.
"By the way, after you get there, rent a house with a yard for a month. You can pay any price." Cheng Hui said.
Zhang You asked, "Didn't the higher-ups arrange for food and lodging?"
He hadn't experienced it, but he asked around.
"We have too much stuff, and the arrangements above are not appropriate." Cheng Hui said:
"Moreover, the food and lodging arranged by us separate people and goods. People are in the hotel and the goods are in the exhibition hall. But I want to set up a small exhibition hall." Cheng Hui said with a twinkling eye.
There are huge crowds of people attending the Canton Fair. It can be said that all manufacturers of cutting-edge products from all walks of life across the country gather there.
This is an excellent place to promote your business.
It is not enough to rely on the exhibition hall alone, because the opening hours of the exhibition hall are limited and the exhibitions are held in batches.
Electronic industrial products were exhibited during the first five days, and when the time was up, the stalls were quickly closed and switched to household items, building materials, furniture, etc.
When the time is up, you have to pack up and leave, and switch to small commodities such as home textiles, clothing, and stationery.
There are three time periods in total.
The people allowed to enter are different at different exhibition times. Those who have nothing to do have to leave, leaving the hotel and venue empty.
The key point is that her furniture is not qualified for exhibition at all, so she needs an "office" to allow interested people to experience it and place an order.
Zhang You looked at Cheng Hui excitedly. His factory director was really generous! The country is holding a big exhibition next to her, and she is holding a small exhibition next to it? What a bold idea!
You can make a lot of money just by listening!
Sun Biao didn't think so. When he heard it, he felt that they were going to lose both the wife and the army!
"Find a place to display it and let people see it clearly? Oh my god, if our peers see through it, what will we have to do? We'll let them get the advantage for nothing!" said Sun Biao.
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "It's just copying homework. Did the provincial furniture factory get a bargain before?"
Sun Biao...that's not true. In the end, the one who lost both the wife and the army was the one who copied the homework.
He also remembered that, except for the folding sofa, which others could imitate, they could not imitate the other furniture at all because they did not have the two exclusive paints.
Without such beautiful paint, it can’t be sold at a good price.
But he still frowned: "We'll sell to anyone who wants it. If we sell it to people from other places, it will be expensive and cause a lot of losses due to long-distance transportation. Especially since our furniture is easy to lose paint, it's not easy to transport."
In his opinion, the only drawback of the two new paints is that they are easy to fall off if bumped, unlike wood wax oil, which cannot be seen at all if bumped.
Cheng Hui smiled: "That's easy, I've thought about it."
Huh? Both of them looked at her. Is it possible to figure out such an unsolvable problem? Is transportation free? Or lossless? None of them can be done.
Cheng Hui just smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later. Your task this time is just to smoothly place our furniture in the showroom and the hotel, and then rent a house. Leave the rest to me."
Cheng Hui explained a few points in detail, and the two of them had no problems. They set off the next day with a trainload of furniture parts.
The machine for making honeycomb paperboard has been completed. Now all furniture parts are packed in honeycomb paperboard boxes. As long as there is no violent loading and unloading, there will be almost no problem of paint falling off.
Moreover, transporting parts and then assembling them on site can save a lot of space and also save transportation costs.
Things that would have taken four train cars were now loaded into just one.
Three days later, a group of more than a dozen people arrived in Yangcheng safely.
Without sparing any expense, Zhang You rented a large courtyard in a private house just a few miles away from the venue for 2,000 yuan a month.
Two days later, the person in charge of the venue layout was finally "taken down", and several tables, chairs and benches were successfully brought in.
Zhang You and Sun Biao then breathed a sigh of relief and took the dozen people to assemble furniture in the yard. In fact, there were not many left, just a few sets of samples.
Cheng Hui was not idle either. She called Ge Shitou to her home, gave him some drawings, and asked him to make a set of integrated kitchen furniture.
This time, the third type of paint was used, wood wax oil in original wood color.
Of course the main ingredient is wood wax oil, and she also filled it with other things, otherwise wouldn’t it be the same as the wood wax oil on the market? The things made are not good-looking and not high-end.
It’s different now. Once the reddish-brown translucent paint is applied, ordinary furniture exudes a classic and noble flavor.
After Ge Shitou waited for the paint to dry, he stood there for a long time without leaving.
He is an old carpenter. What color of furniture has he not seen in his life?
Well, he had never seen any of the three colors Cheng Hui made this time, but this color was his favorite.
Gao Yuan also liked this color. He asked, "Are you going to change the kitchen at home as well?"
"Let's talk about it later. This set is prepared for the Canton Fair." Cheng Hui said.
Gao Yuan was stunned. He knew that the tables, chairs and benches sponsored by Cheng Hui to the Canton Fair were specially used in the negotiation area.
There are not many people who can speak foreign languages, and not every exhibitor brings their own translators. 98% of exhibitors do not bring translators and use those provided by the venue.
There is a special negotiation and transaction area where everyone lines up and the seller, buyer, and translator sit down to discuss the transaction.
The negotiation area requires a large number of tables, chairs and benches.
But where should this kitchen furniture be moved to?
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "This is for my own exhibition area."
She blinked and said, "Have you forgotten that I sell kitchen supplies? I have to build a kitchen so that everyone can put themselves in the shoes of others."
Well, she actually still wants to sell this kitchen set.
In her previous life, in addition to the small appliance business, she had actually done other things. She had cooperated with several furniture factories and made ovens, dishwashers, water dispensers and other things needed for integrated kitchens.
Among them is a furniture factory that mainly does exports, and the several furniture designs she is currently drawing were all learned from them.
As for paint, I learned about it by flipping through the professional books of several furniture factories. I also saw some non-confidential and discarded professional materials several times.
In short, the market for exported furniture is huge, of which kitchen and bathroom products account for a large part.
Since you are going to eat this cake, just take a few more bites at a time! There will definitely be more people copying homework next year.
Now that she had finished preparing the final props, she called Song Xilai directly and asked him to prepare to load the car as it was time to go to the exhibition.
Song Xilai's voice was shaking with excitement: "It's not the day for the group departure yet, right? Are we going there now? I'm not ready yet!"
