Director Liao and Director Xue are exchanging work experience in their office.
Although the two have different jobs.
But they are essentially the same.
Monitor enterprise management, collect data, and evaluate the assets of enterprises in the city.
It could be either divested or reorganized.
Other leaders were also walking around inside, occasionally exchanging a few words.
Director Liao blew on the tea leaves in his teacup and said, "Old Xue, you don't know, a few days ago, some shabby township enterprise wanted to come and participate in the Canton Fair."
"You mean, even state-owned enterprises are scrambling to get a spot, how could they possibly give it to him?"
Director Xue remained unmoved.
He probably already guessed who it was.
Who else could it be but Wu Changfeng?
They're both from the same province.
Director Xue said, "Well... if there's a chance, we should distribute them equally."
"Have you averaged it out?" Director Liao asked with a smile.
Director Xue shrugged: "My township enterprises don't dare to take risks or get things done. We'd rather make money quietly than seek the limelight."
Director Liao nodded: "That's the smartest approach."
In this era, there's a saying: reform isn't a dinner party. We still have to feel our way across the river.
In the past, there have been several policy reversals.
In the most serious incident, what would later become the largest feed group almost had to donate all its assets to save itself.
Therefore, in this era, individual business owners in the real economy all adhere to one principle: develop in a low-key manner.
Director Xue did not expose Wu Changfeng's actions at his booth.
He didn't think much of Wu Changfeng's products either; he thought it would be better to sell rolling pins instead.
There's no need to say it aloud, to avoid making everyone feel awkward.
The two chatted for a while longer.
A man shouted in the corridor, "Good news! Good news!"
The leader inside hummed and looked towards the door.
This means there has been a transaction!
Which province is it from?
Whoever lands the first deal gets a lot of prestige, doesn't they?
Director Liao cupped his hands in greeting to Director Xue: "Shenshui has always been an industrial base, so it must be one of your companies. Congratulations!"
Director Xue said, "Old Liao, you're flattering us to death. We're already like an old ox, we can't eat fresh grass anymore. It's definitely your Jiyang Province that will come out on top."
Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say flattering words.
If you can talk, then talk more.
The door was pushed open, and a person, panting heavily, grabbed a teacup and gulped down a mouthful.
Other leaders hurriedly asked, "Who fired the first shot? Which company? How much was involved?"
"Stop drinking! We're getting so impatient!"
"If this were our Southeast Province, I'd treat everyone to a meal!"
"Nobody's short of a meal, so tell me which company it is?"
Everyone was very anxious.
No matter the amount, the first place winner will definitely be dazzling.
Who will remember the second place?
Gaining prestige in numerous provinces also signifies effective management, doesn't it?
After finishing his tea, the man wiped his mouth and strode over to Director Xue, covering his hands with his palms.
"Director Xue, this prize is yours!"
Director Xue was stunned.
mine?
This came so suddenly, so he asked, "How many televisions did you sell?"
"A television set? No, no. It's the first shot fired by Qimingxing Company!"
Director Xue was even more bewildered after hearing this.
What is the Morning Star?
I don't have that company listed below me.
Director Xue said apologetically, "You've come to the wrong person. I don't have this company under my jurisdiction."
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
If it's not yours, Director Xue, then whose is it?
How could a good news report turn into a blunder?
Director Liao scratched his head, wondering why the name "Morning Star" sounded so familiar.
But I just can't remember when I heard of it or saw it.
The person delivering the good news asked in surprise, "Director Xue, if this isn't your company, why is it still at your booth?"
Director Xue was startled and immediately realized what was happening.
At our province's booth, Wu Changfeng was the only outsider!
Director Xue glanced at Director Liao out of the corner of his eye.
They were still confused and bewildered.
Director Xue was at a loss as to how to handle this situation.
He cursed inwardly: Why did you, Wu Changfeng, fire the first shot?!
Look at us now, how embarrassing!
If we expose this, Director Liao will lose face.
If we don't expose them, what kind of situation is this?
Even if you, Wu Changfeng, were the second to complete the transaction, it wouldn't have attracted so much attention.
However, Director Xue reconsidered.
If Wu Changfeng were to sell for tens of thousands of US dollars, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Director Liao wouldn't lose face, so he laughed it off and said that he didn't have enough booth space and could borrow his own.
At least on the surface, it's acceptable.
Director Xue asked, "What was the transaction amount?"
"7 million US dollars!"
With a whoosh.
Everyone present was stunned.
The leaders began to discuss in hushed tones:
"7 million US dollars! And this is only the first day!"
"That old Xue, he was so low-key when he arrived, saying his company wasn't doing well. But then he threw us a curveball."
"Broken the record, right?"
"It's definitely broken. In the past, the first shot only cost a maximum of 1 million US dollars."
"Old Xue, you absolutely have to treat us to this meal!"
"Yes, we must invite them. I think you'll definitely secure the top spot in total sales at the Canton Fair."
Director Xue was so scared he almost had a heart attack!
Damn, this is not going to end well. It's such a large sum of money, and they've revealed it's not their own company.
Today, Lao Liao had to cover his face and sneak out through a crack in the ground.
$7 million!
Oh My God!
