Chapter 836: No room for sand
When the time comes and you continue to suffer losses on the international stage, it will not just be you who will be represented.
Isn’t this an obvious example right before our eyes?
All parties may be protective of their own children due to concerns about their reputation and personal interests.
But after Minister Zhan's remarks, the departments and bureaus of the Ministry of Foreign Trade were embarrassed to say anything.
That afternoon, the Ministry of Foreign Trade arranged for the minister's secretary and Director Feng, who had not appeared before, to come over.
The two people came with stamps.
It also shows the attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
Minister Zhan personally rewrote the official document and called Lu Miao to take over the assignment.
Afterwards, he emphasized to Lu Miao to seize the time and not miss the important matters.
This matter also gave the Ministry of Foreign Trade a way out.
In line with the principle of not hitting someone who smiles at you, Lu Miao did not express any objection and nodded in agreement.
Minister Zhan patted her again and introduced her to two managers from the Foreign Trade Department.
Everyone put aside their past grudges and shook hands politely.
The atmosphere looks good.
In fact, Lu Miao's temper, which could not bear any loss or grievance and was reckless, had long been equated by the two people in the Foreign Trade Department with "bad temper and intolerant of any sand in the eyes."
Especially Director Feng.
Director Feng felt that he was extremely unlucky.
When the incident was unfolding, he received no news at all.
When I received the news, the minister's scolding also hit my face.
Not only Director Feng, but also all the young staff members in the Foreign Trade Department experienced an unexpected disaster.
Although Minister Zhan's words were tactful, they were also easy to understand.
It is obvious that the Foreign Trade Department did not manage its people well, which led to unhealthy trends in the department and almost delayed important work.
Minister Qin of the Ministry of Foreign Trade was so angry that he stamped his feet, but he was unable to raise his head.
Such a big face, can you just throw it away?
Of course not.
The female employee who provoked the incident was fired on the same day.
Although others did not lose their jobs, they were also trapped in a long and strict "reception service" training...
It is not known whether there are employees in other departments holding the chicken feather token.
There is a high probability that the Ministry of Foreign Trade will no longer exist for a long time in the future.
Time was very tight and there was no time for Lu Miao to slowly digest his emotions.
The next day after receiving the documents, Lu Miao took Yu Hong and a photographer colleague who was responsible for taking photos and records and ran around to various state-owned factories.
There are more than 20 factories, the closest one is in northern Beijing.
If you want to go far, you have to go to Jinmen and Yi District of Linshi.
The only means of transportation are buses and trains that are covered by government funds, and transportation is not that convenient at the moment, so progress is quite slow.
If you can run two points a day, it can be considered very good.
Fortunately, the bad thing only happened at the beginning.
Although there were some twists and turns on the journey, the inspection and visit went smoothly.
Due to some personal issues, I was delayed at the Beijing North Soap Factory.
But that was just a minor incident, not a big deal.
Although there are soaps and perfumed soaps at this stage, people who choose to use soap products seem to only pursue the cleaning power.
I don’t understand, or I don’t care which ones are suitable for washing clothes and which ones are suitable for bathing.
It feels like I have a bar of soap in my hand, and I can do anything, such as taking a shower and washing clothes.
The director of the soap factory felt the same way.
After Lu Miao inspected the factory, he made suggestions for corrections based on the introductory documents provided by the factory.
Soap products that contain strong alkali and have super cleaning power can only be used for cleaning purposes other than the skin.
Soap is highly alkaline and will destroy the natural oil and acid-base balance on the skin surface, which is likely to cause dryness, itching and redness of the skin.
This can cause skin inflammation, etc.
Even if we don't consider obtaining more foreign exchange resources for the country, doing business is all about long-term development.
How can there be a one-time deal?
During the establishment phase, if something goes wrong, the loss may go beyond just the company's goodwill...
For potential problems like this that have been discovered, Lu Miao thinks he should avoid them by himself if possible.
But she probably didn't know that the director of the soap factory didn't take her words to heart.
When she was at the factory, communication was fine.
But after the opening of the Canton Fair, due to the factory director's stubborn intervention, the final introduction work was still done according to the factory director's wishes.
Those are all later stories, so let’s not talk about them for now.
Let’s get back to work.
After spending more than half a month running around various factories, Lu Miao lost several pounds, and his already slender arms and legs looked even thinner.
Tang Mei sometimes complained that everyone said she was a vegetable stalk that had become a spirit.
But even so, the work is not yet completely done.
Lu Miao has to do something seriously. Not to mention perfection, but at least she has to be satisfied with it and agree that it is up to her standards.
Other factories and departments work overtime in the afternoon and should get off work at five or six o'clock at the latest.
She stayed at the publishing house until several eleven o'clock in the morning, and rushed to compile the manuscript with the clerks and editors under her command and handed it to Minister Zhan.
After confirming that everything is correct, it will be sent to the translation team on the second floor.
The work she was responsible for was finally completed at this point.
During the remaining time, the translation team on the second floor also gained some new insights into her while processing this manuscript.
It was just because she found some problems when she was looking through the previous manuscripts.
Let’s not talk about the lengthy product Q&A script for now.
The advantages and disadvantages of the stand are introduced, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
Moreover, the text content is all the same, very dull and lacks novelty.
Even though what is written is the truth, it sounds like content copied from a template.
Imagine a similar billboard. The first two are okay.
But wherever you go, you see similar content. Not to mention whether you will doubt the authenticity of the product, you will also get visually fatigued, right?
The nights Lu Miao stayed up were mainly spent trying to solve this problem.
She racked her brains and wrote advertising slogans that matched the products under the short introduction of each product category.
For example, for the silk from Huayi Factory, the phrases she listed are:
Oriental charm, world-class elegance; elegant as you, accompanied by silky smoothness. Huayi Silk, achieve extraordinary temperament, experience the luxury of nobility.
For example, for other light industrial fabric products, Lu Miao would highlight their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and write:
——Originating from the oriental ingenuity, quality first, conquering the world with craftsmanship and quality.
Chinese people are conservative in their concepts. The things they produce may not be trendy in style, but the quality is always impeccable.
At this stage in international trade, the reason why light industry has gone further and has a wider acceptance than other industrial products is that there are more manufacturers and the low price is another reason.
Among them, high quality is also a very large advantage.
Compared with the old manuscripts that were straightforward and said "I'm cheap, my products are good", Lu Miao has avant-garde ideas, a quick mind, and knows how to apply techniques better.
This doesn't mean that straightforward narratives are completely bad.
It’s just business, sometimes you just need to make adjustments and package it.
