Wu Changfeng exclaimed "Oh!" with a broad smile.
The judges gave their own lawnmower 62 points, which is really...
That's so unexpected!
Even Director Cao, who was watching the commotion, was dumbfounded.
How can something so shoddy pass the test?
But when they looked at each other, they both understood what the other was thinking.
This "high score" was given by the organizers to maintain the exhibition's overall quality.
If scores are really based on actual evaluations, the exhibition still had some substandard products.
Where does that leave the island nation's reputation as the host?
Give a passing grade, and everyone will be happy.
Factory Director Cao thought to himself: If I had known this would happen, I would have definitely shipped a few agricultural machines from China.
Anyone can pass the test!
Upon returning home, they promoted the product, saying, "Look everyone, this is a 'qualified' product that has been evaluated by foreign experts."
Wouldn't the people on the mainland go crazy buying them?
In this era, no advertisement is as effective as winning awards abroad.
This is precisely the moment when Chinese people want to regain their national confidence abroad.
Wu Changfeng pursed his lips and said, "I never expected my product to be so amazing!"
Factory Director Cao rolled his eyes. Who doesn't know who?
You're getting all proud of yourself.
Here, passing is considered garbage!
Wu Changfeng rubbed his hands together and muttered to himself, "Well, even if we're last, it's still better than being second forever."
Factory Director Cao: ? ? ?
Are you out of your mind?
Is being last place something to be proud of?
Factory Director Cao said, "You don't even blush at the sight of doing something so shameful. You have a really thick skin. You're a disgrace to the country!"
"Now everyone knows that products from mainland China are ranked last."
"You're bringing shame to the country!"
Wu Changfeng was somewhat surprised: "Are you a mad dog? Why are you biting me!"
"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, why are you taking it so seriously?"
Factory Director Cao pushed up his glasses and squinted: "We must be serious about all foreign affairs! Although our country's industrial level is a little behind, when have we ever ranked at the very bottom!"
"You've truly created a miracle!"
Wu Changfeng felt that this person seemed to have something wrong with him.
Why are you making such a big deal out of this?
What's it to you?
Wu Changfeng retorted directly, "Dry tongue!"
Factory Director Cao snorted.
He pondered for a moment, then grinned wickedly: "You just wait! I'll make you proud!"
Wu Changfeng watched as Factory Director Cao hurriedly ran away.
I have a feeling this guy is up to something.
After thinking about it, I didn't interfere much.
What, are you going to kick me out of the agricultural machinery exhibition?
As long as I don't break the rules, even the organizers have no right to kick me out!
After all, their booth was bought with real money.
The exhibition group wasn't an administrative unit; they were all domestic factories.
I'm not afraid of you!
Subsequently, Wu Changfeng focused his attention on the list, in his view.
People always focus on the top and the bottom.
If you don't believe me, take a look at the exam rankings. You'll find yourself unconsciously wanting to see who's first and who's last.
The first place has its advantages.
Being in last place doesn't necessarily mean you're at a complete disadvantage.
...
On the other side.
Factory Director Cao rushed to the organizer's office.
Just then, Director Wang came out from inside.
"Director Wang!" Factory Director Cao stepped forward and asked, "Just who exactly is this Wu Changfeng?"
Director Wang said, "I made some inquiries, and there's no such person in the Ministry of Agriculture. The fact that this guy is here is somewhat against the rules."
"He was supposed to go to Kobe Steel to study, but I don't know how he ended up here."
"I asked the leaders in Jiangcheng, and they said they didn't know anything about it. As long as Wu Changfeng doesn't cause any major trouble, they just told us to keep an eye on him."
Factory Director Cao responded with an "Oh."
Now that I'm confident, I'm not afraid of a small city like Jiangcheng at all.
As long as there's no powerful backer, it's fine.
Director Wang asked, "What are you doing here?"
Factory Director Cao replied dismissively, "Nothing much, just strolling around."
Director Wang didn't say anything and left directly.
After greeting the organizers, Director Cao began making phone calls back home.
"Hello, is this Editor-in-Chief Liu of the Chaoyang Evening News? This is Lao Cao from the Yellow River Tractor Factory! I'm currently attending an agricultural machinery exhibition in Japan."
"Haha, just tell me what you need and I'll buy it for you. Let's not talk about money, it'll hurt our feelings."
"Ah, indeed, island nations have a lot of cars and are very developed."
The two chatted about the climate and their experiences abroad before Director Cao got down to business.
"Editor-in-Chief Liu, I'm calling you specifically to provide you with a news lead! A Chinese company has embarrassed itself at an agricultural machinery exhibition in an island nation!"
"What exactly happened? Let me tell you slowly. Remember this, it's absolutely explosive news, and the tip-off fee is waived."
Factory Director Cao chuckled to himself, thinking, "Let Wu Changfeng show off, I'll fucking kill you!"
Factory Director Cao continued into the phone: "It's like this, at the agricultural machinery exhibition in Japan, there's a special agricultural machinery evaluation program. There's a Chinese company exhibiting there called Qimingxing, and the factory director is Wu Changfeng. Their products went to undergo the agricultural machinery evaluation. Guess what happened?"
"Damn, last place! When you go abroad to participate in an exhibition, you represent the image of the country. If you come in last place, doesn't that mean that we Chinese are the worst? Isn't this a disgrace on the international stage?!"
"Moreover, Wu Changfeng shamelessly said that being last is better than being second best all the time, and that ranking doesn't matter, what matters is being able to sell lawnmowers."
