"Comrade Zhao, I would like to ask, are all the factories participating in the trade fair staying in this hotel?"
"No, this hotel only has 70 or 80 rooms. How can it accommodate so many people from the factory?"
"The factory with the least number of visitors has three or four people, so they need at least two rooms. This time, a total of 125 factories came to participate in the trade fair, and more than 300 rooms were needed."
"You arrived late, so you were arranged here. Most of those who arrived early stayed in a hotel a few minutes walk from the event venue."
"Have the people from the Hengshi Steel Plant arrived?"
"You're here early!"
"Their steel plant is the main force in earning foreign exchange every year. Even if they come late, they will definitely be arranged to stay in a hotel closer to the site. They have never stayed here."
Well, it seems that compared with Dad and his team, they are not on the same level.
After walking with Zhao Sanjun for more than twenty minutes, we arrived at the venue of the event.
It is a two-story house painted snow-white on the outside, just like the shopping malls of later generations, and covers a very large area.
Looking at the building's exterior, Song Fuyu thought the venue was pretty good. However, the scene she saw after entering disappointed her.
It was just an old-fashioned auditorium, with no decoration at all, and it was completely empty. If you shouted inside, there would be an echo.
She thought that even if it wasn't possible to have each company set up a simple cubicle like in later trade shows, at least they could be distinguished a little.
But she was overthinking it.
The small factory consisted of two long tables with nothing on them, a factory nameplate on them, and several long benches inside and outside the tables.
In a large factory like Hengshi Iron and Steel Factory, there are four tables. They are decorated a little bit, with a white cloth covering the table, the factory name hanging above the table, and English notes below.
"Uncle Zhao, is this all the organizers have prepared for everyone?"
“Yes, it’s about the same every year.”
"This year, there has been some progress. At least we have given everyone a name tag. In the past, we had to prepare our own name tags."
"How can such a simple and crude product attract customers?"
This is equivalent to buying a house where you can prepare a model room but instead you take people to an unfinished house.
It doesn't matter for steel mills, at least they win by what they produce. But it's not the same for clothing factories. In such a simple environment, even if the clothes are well made, it's hard to attract people.
"Uncle Zhao, this won't work. We have to find a way to rearrange it."
Foreigners came with money, but they were asked to choose goods from the street stalls. I don’t know what the organizers were thinking. No matter how they fooled people, they had to do a good job of presenting themselves.
Just because someone has a lot of money doesn't mean they are stupid.
Song Fuyu took out a notebook and a pen from his bag, sat at the table assigned to them, and began to write down what was needed.
"I need someone to buy some red paper, brushes, ink, glue..."
Seeing that Song Fuyu was so serious, Zhao Da did not question her idea and directly assigned tasks to the employees who followed her.
"Xiao Ming, go ahead. Do you have money with you?"
"Yes."
"Okay, you pay first, and the factory will reimburse you later."
"Okay, no problem."
Li Ming took the shopping list written by Song Fuyu and ran away quickly.
"We also need to buy a few clothes drying racks, clips and other things. It would be best if we could get some wire... Forget the wire, just buy clothes hangers. I'll get some wire from the steel factory later."
"Bangguo, Gui and the two of you go buy some hangers."
"good!"
"You said you would ask the steel mill to get the wire. Will they give it to us?"
"My dad is here, so he should be able to give me some face."
"Oh, how could I have forgotten this? No wonder you were asking where the Hengshi Steel Plant is located."
"Uncle Zhao, go find the organizer and ask for a piece of white cloth for us."
The organizer is really too biased. The big factories provide the packaging, while the small factories are left with nothing.
After assigning tasks to them, Song Fuyu went downstairs.
The booth of Hengshi Iron and Steel Plant is located in the middle of the first floor and can be seen as soon as you enter the gate of the venue. Unlike their clothing factory, the booth allocated to them is located in a corner of the second floor.
It was obvious at first glance that the organizers thought they were not good enough, so they arranged a remote location for them.
At the booth of Hengshi Iron and Steel Plant, there were only two employees doing simple decoration. Song Fuyu walked over and said to the person closest to her: "Hello, comrade, where is your Director Chen?"
"Our factory director is in the hotel and didn't come over. Do you have anything to do with him?"
"Won't he come over today?"
"right."
If he doesn't come, then I can't ask him for it. But I have to finish the arrangement today, I can't wait until tomorrow.
"Then may I ask if you have any extra wire? Can you give me some? You can even sell me some."
"ha?"
The steel plant employee who was talking to her looked at her in some confusion.
"I'm sorry, I can't give it to you, and I won't sell it to you."
Although they brought a lot of things with them, they would give samples to foreign customers if they asked for them. But this woman was obviously not a customer, but a factory employee like him...
"Fu Yu?"
Hearing someone calling him, Song Fuyu immediately turned his head.
"Brother Ping An, you are here too?"
Wang Ping'an is Chen Guoxing's assistant. The last time she returned to Heng City, they had dinner together at Chen's house.
"I'm not here either, why are you here too?"
Wang Ping'an thought he had seen it wrong, but when he called out tentatively, it really was this little ancestor.
"You came here alone? Does the factory manager know?"
"I'm not alone. I came here with the Qin City Garment Factory. My dad doesn't know yet. I haven't told him yet."
She originally planned to give Chen Guoxing a surprise, so naturally she wouldn't tell him in advance.
"You are really amazing. The factory manager must be scared to death by you."
"Brother Ping An, you came at the right time. Don't you have wire? Can you give me some? Not too much, three or four meters will be fine."
"Sure, we brought a lot of samples."
"Tian Fei, help her pull a little."
Tian Fei, who was standing next to them, broke out in a cold sweat as he listened to their conversation.
He thought the other party was here just to take advantage of their steel plant, but he didn't expect that it was the director's daughter. Although he had never seen her, he had heard that the director doted on his daughter.
Did he offend someone the first time he met them?
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were..."
"It's okay. I was too presumptuous."
"I originally thought that if my dad was here, I would say hello to him. But he is not coming today, so I shamelessly asked you for it. The main reason is that we need to set up the booth and can't wait until tomorrow."
"I understand, I understand, I'll tell you right away."
