At the agricultural machinery exhibition.
Wu Changfeng and Director Wang were arguing about which department should be listed under for this lawnmower order.
For Director Wang, it was an extremely desirable position to be placed in the Ministry of Agriculture.
after all.
The agricultural machinery industry in mainland China is really too backward.
This applies not only to agricultural machinery, but also to pesticides and fertilizers.
Originally, the mainland delegation came to the agricultural machinery exhibition in the island country mainly to participate and learn from advanced foreign manufacturing experience.
To put it bluntly.
The purpose of this visit is to observe the development of agricultural machinery abroad, to get a general idea of the current state, and to prepare everyone to catch up.
I never imagined I could sell equipment at the exhibition.
Of course.
There are selfish motives behind everyone rushing to come to the island nation.
When we promote our work to the outside world, we can tell the public: We've participated in international exhibitions!
This name alone can intimidate many people, even though the product quality remains the same.
but……
Unexpectedly, Wu Changfeng actually sold equipment at the agricultural machinery exhibition!
And they're even selling to Americans!
It's important to understand that currently, the things that can be exported from mainland China to generate foreign exchange are limited to just a few items.
Clothing, televisions, home appliances, minerals, and weapons, etc.
Frankly speaking, it's already a good thing that we don't import agricultural equipment from abroad.
When will it be our turn to export to the Americans?
It's like being slashed on the butt with a knife—it's eye-opening!
Director Wang said excitedly, "Being able to sell products is a great thing. Although household weeders are not high-end products, they are still agricultural machinery. You have made a breakthrough for our country's agricultural machinery industry! Our Agricultural Machinery Department will give you credit!"
"But this order needs to be placed at the Agricultural Machinery Hall. Do you like it? Anyway, it's all your money, we're just taking advantage of it."
Wu Changfeng rolled his eyes.
It's not that you guys are benefiting from this, but rather that you, Director Wang, are the one benefiting from it, right?
Goodness.
Originally, the point was to participate, but now you've actually sold equipment. You'll definitely receive a lot of praise when you get back.
That's exactly what Director Wang meant.
Selling agricultural machinery to the United States is a first in history!
I have to make a note of it myself, right?
This honor...
Wow, that was awesome!
But judging from Wu Changfeng's expression, Director Wang seemed reluctant.
Wu Changfeng said, "Wouldn't the foreign trade department fight you then?"
"What are you fighting about? I'm the one leading this team."
"But my lawnmower was shipped to the island nation only after coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Trade."
"Why should we be afraid of someone who just runs a transport business!"
Director Wang was extremely assertive; no matter who he offended, he had to seize this opportunity!
You know, we originally thought that agricultural machinery companies from mainland China were just there to make up the numbers.
Who would have thought there would actually be someone capable! Exporting domestically produced agricultural machinery to the US—what a brilliant achievement that will be on their reports and summaries! They can brag about it for years to come.
Director Wang's eyes darted around.
It seems Wu Changfeng came to the exhibition on his own! That won't do; we need to bring him to our agricultural machinery exhibition group!
Once you join our team, this performance is guaranteed!
Director Wang quickly said, "I have high hopes for you. I think your booth is still too small. How about we give up our booth and set up a separate venue for it!"
Wu Changfeng: ...
What kind of nonsense is this, setting up a separate venue?!
Before Wu Changfeng could refuse, Director Wang acted swiftly and decisively.
They cleared out the group's booth and then moved Wu Changfeng's lawnmower there.
The middle-aged women were dumbfounded.
What's going on?!
In the morning, I tried to occupy Wu Changfeng's booth, but the organizers scolded me.
It was a time when I felt indignant.
Why did Director Wang give up our booth again?
Forget about fortunes changing every thirty years, I don't care about that!
The middle-aged woman angrily questioned, "Director Wang, what does this mean? Why did you give our booth to Wu Changfeng? Isn't this against the rules?!"
"What rules?" Director Wang asked.
The middle-aged woman choked up. What exactly was this rule?
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's just that... this booth belongs to everyone, why should it be given to Wu Changfeng?"
Director Wang snorted: "Have you sold any equipment?"
The middle-aged woman showed no shame or remorse, instead saying, "None of us sold any, did we?"
"But they sold it! It broke ten million US dollars!"
Director Wang spoke with great conviction, his words carried out in a firm and unequivocal tone.
This completely stunned the middle-aged woman.
"Director Wang, you must be joking. That lawnmower that was rated as a piece of junk could actually sell? You're kidding me!"
Just then.
A foreigner and a translator walked in.
The foreigner looked at the lawnmower and asked, "Is this the Venus brand's booth?"
The middle-aged woman, hands on her hips, exclaimed, "No!"
Director Wang roared, "Get out of the way! What do you mean 'not'? You are!"
The foreigner asked doubtfully, "Is it really true?"
Director Wang responded with a smile: "Yes, yes, look, isn't this lawnmower right here?"
"A $400 lawnmower, is this what they mean?"
Director Wang nodded frantically: "Yes, that's it! You've come to the right place!"
The foreigner then asked, "Did someone named Wood purchase a batch of these products? Why would he buy such junk? Can you tell me?"
Director Wang immediately transformed into a whiz at accounting.
