Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 439: Stand Out

Raymond cooperated, and soon after the opening of the exhibition the next day, he went to the signing area and signed an agreement with Oberyang.

The reason for doing this at the exhibition was that the local delegation needed to count the signing results, the trade fair organizers also needed to count the signing amount, and the host Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation also needed this data.

Their contract was certainly much better than Tian Naigui's, but at the Canton Fair, it was really nothing. Feng Yiping and Jin Ling didn't want to make a big deal like Tian Naigui had done the previous day, without calling on a leader.

So much so that when the staff of the Foreign Economic and Trade Office, who was responsible for registration, looked at the big data, they also took the contract over to have a look. There was no way around it. For them, an inland province with average exports, a single contract of more than half a million US dollars in 2000 was not small.

'Mr Raymond, it's been a pleasure working with you!' Feng Yiping and Jin Ling shook Raymond's hand in turn.

'Haha, I'll try to sell more, so that you can come to our alma mater to study too!' Raymond still remembered what Feng Yiping had said yesterday.

'Okay, let's work hard together.' As for going to Harvard to further one's studies, Feng Yiping wasn't very interested, but if in the future he could get a honorary degree from Harvard, or even better, become a honorary professor, he wouldn't object.

When Zhao and Yu, the booth attendants, saw them return, they finally let out a sigh of relief. With yesterday's experience as a warning, they were really a little worried about their boss, who had a big mouth.

Although Aube Yang was a little excited, he was a man after all and couldn't say anything. Xiao Zhao didn't care, she really wanted to tell this one joy and then conjure up another one.

Holding the information, she stood between their booth and Tian Naogui's. 'Wow, Mr. Tian, you guys are in great spirits. This must be the feeling of being happy for other people's happiness. You must have rested well last night. How are things today? Any results?'

Tian Nai Gui looked at his subordinate and said, 'Yes, we have already achieved results on the first day, so of course we can rest well. We will definitely be able to get another order today. Alas, this is as good as it gets for us. We don't have high expectations, so let's just aim for one order per day. Little girl, don't worry. There are still many more days ahead. Besides, there's no use getting anxious. Just relax. As the saying goes, 'Every beginning is difficult. Perhaps by the time of this year's Autumn Fair, you will also be able to get some orders.'

'We have a hard life, not as easy as you, General Tian. We worked overtime until after ten last night and finally signed a deal. Manager Ou, that deal yesterday was 560,000 yuan. Do you think we can sign a 650,000 yuan deal today?' After showing off, he was very satisfied with the looks on the faces of the other three people. Xiao Zhao happily returned to her post at the end of the aisle.

Tian Naigui's next words got stuck in his throat, and he almost bit his tongue. He looked in astonishment at his two subordinates, who also had their mouths open. 'How much did she say?'

'It was something like... 560,000?' the girl said.

Although they didn't look, they could hear the silence in the next room and could imagine their faces at this moment.

Jin Ling laughed silently, Xiaoyu was slapping the table, and Feng Yiping gave her a thumbs-up, proving that she was indeed a natural-born actress.

Ou Boyang said with a smile, 'Apart from these walk-ins, Xiaoyu and I have an appointment with a client today, and so have you, right? If everything goes well, we might be able to do 650,000 yuan. I don't have high expectations for you, just a little bit more each day than the amount of the contract!'

This was a parody of Tian Naogui's earlier statement.

Ou Boyang is good at flattery, and when he speaks, his mouth is like it has been coated in honey. He is equally good at being sarcastic, and his words are so annoying.

But Feng Yiping likes it!

'Okay, there are a lot of people in the exhibition hall, so let's all perk up. What's 560,000 yuan? What's there to show off about? Haven't you heard? Yesterday's biggest order was tens of millions of yuan. We need to learn from others and take them as our role models. We must always compare ourselves with those who are worse than us."

Although Jin Ling's words were encouraging, they were actually belittling.

Feng Yiping once again reminded himself not to offend women, because they have another name—petty!

So, don't believe in the old saying about a smile erasing hatred and enmity. Such things will never happen to girls.

...

The reason why the Canton Fair is so successful is because it is a national exhibition organised by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. Before each exhibition, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation will send staff to promote it all over the world, across the five oceans and four continents.

However, thanks to their efforts, foreign businessmen from all over the world come here. Therefore, to understand the foreign trade situation of the year, there is no need to go anywhere else, just come to the Spring Fair.

Therefore, not only are there buyers and exhibitors running around in the exhibition hall, but also leaders from various provinces leading the exhibitors, as well as various associations and government research institutions that pay close attention to the order status. Of course, there are also top officials from all over the country.

At the Spring Fair, they come to understand the foreign trade situation this year, and at the Autumn Fair, they come to urge companies to make a final push to achieve their annual export targets.

At 2:30 pm, Senior Official Guo arrived at the airport, accompanied by the heads of the bureaus involved in almost all areas of foreign trade, including the Foreign Trade Office, the Economic and Trade Commission, the State Taxation Bureau, and the Construction Department.

'Senior Official Guo, I'm sorry, there have been so many people from other provinces in the past few days that there are no rooms left at the provincial guest house. We've therefore booked you into the Baiyun Hotel. Shall we go to the hotel now?' said the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, who was in charge of reception.

'Thank you, it's really taken a lot of trouble to find somewhere for me to stay in the city at this time of year, but let's go straight to the trade fair. I'm still a bit worried,' said Senior Official Guo, shaking his hand and smiling.

At the entrance to the exhibition hall, two more Kaoches stopped, and the people around them didn't make a fuss about it. There had been too many such situations in the past two days.

The leader of the provincial foreign trade and economic cooperation department, who was leading the group, greeted them at the gate. Guo, the senior official, was also direct. He asked him as soon as they met, 'What's the situation like?'

'Judging from the data from the first day, Southeast Asia is recovering quickly this year, while North America has decreased somewhat. South America is also doing well. Europe, Russia and the Middle East are in a good situation, and Latin America is growing rapidly. The mainstay of exports is still electromechanical products.' He handed each of the leaders a sheet of the latest statistics, freshly printed and still smelling of ink.

Guo, the senior official, looked at the figures at the bottom and was in a good mood: 'A good start!'

The first stop for the provincial leaders was the provincial shipping company, the "old foreign trade" of the province and the mainstay of its exports. They were followed by the leaders of the textile, light industry and pharmaceutical industries, who investigated the exhibition situation and asked in detail about changes in orders.

The exhibitors and the leaders in charge of the delegation had the same reaction. They were optimistic about this year's foreign trade situation, and believed that achieving a 10% increase was no problem and would definitely outperform GDP growth.

These things did not concern Feng Yiping. Today's situation was unexpectedly good. In addition to the customers they had an appointment with, such as Ou Boyang, and the transfer of ownership who had been here yesterday, there were many repeat customers. Since morning, the five of them had been extremely busy.

But the results are quite good. In the next room, Tian Naigui glares at them with hatred and helplessness, but they have already signed five orders. Now even Tian Naigui is holding samples from his own factory and, with a few words he knows, is shamelessly stuffing them into the hands of foreign businessmen in front of the Jiasheng booth. No one stops him, and even Zhao, who was originally responsible for handing out information, is also receiving customers.

However, this was not very effective. Many people just waved their hands away without even looking at the samples. Some people did accept the samples, but they just shoved them into their bags.

When the first order was signed, Feng Yiping and Jin Ling went to watch, but now they didn't have the energy or the time.

When Guo Gaoguan and his entourage arrived nearby, they saw the lively scene in front of Jiasheng's booth and became interested. They stopped and looked at the Chinese sign on the door: 'Jiasheng Furniture?' Jia Sheng seemed familiar.

As the general manager of a state-owned enterprise, Tian Naigui knew Senior Official Guo, and he really wanted to show his face in front of the senior official, but he couldn't get through because Senior Official Guo didn't know him and he was stopped at the outer perimeter.

Senior Official Guo looked through the crowd and saw the long-haired figure inside, and he said with a smile, 'I said it sounded a bit familiar, it turns out it's that girl from the Lao Jin family.'

He waved inside, 'Ling,'

embarrassed, Jin Ling did not respond, she was currently meeting with a customer about a factory tour, and did not hear it.

Guo Senior Minister laughed self-deprecatingly, "There's no way, we can't compete with foreign businesses, and we're here, but we're not bringing her business," everyone laughed knowingly, and the senior minister's secretary hurriedly pushed his way inside.

Feng Yiping had just finished receiving a customer. As he looked up, he saw a group of people outside who looked like leaders. The leader of the group from his province was by their side. He knew that this was the official in charge, and when he saw that the leader was looking at Jin Ling, he greeted her, 'General Manager Jin,' and motioned for her to look outside.

Jin Ling looked over and said, 'Uncle Guo... Senior Official Guo, why are you here?'

'I came to see you. I wondered why you sounded so familiar. It turns out I heard about you from your father. It seems things are going well?' He pointed at the crowd in front of the booth.

'Not bad. So far, we've signed 1.57 million yuan worth of orders.'

'Oh, that's not bad at all, much higher than the average! Judging from the figures just now, the turnover is among the top ten exhibitors in our province,' said Senior Official Guo, who had a good memory. After comparing the figures, he came to a conclusion.

'Sixth,' the secretary added.

'Good!' Guo praised, 'I heard from your father that this is your first time exhibiting, and it looks like you'll have many opportunities to close deals.'

'Yes, many customers are quite interested, and many have asked to visit the factory. We've already signed three cooperation agreements, and we'll have regular orders every month from now on.'

'That's good. Keep up the good work. If all the companies in our province that are exhibiting for the first time can achieve such good results, then there is no problem with exceeding the province's export target by 10-20% this year. Secretary Zhang, remember to let Xiaojin attend the afternoon's symposium on the foreign trade situation.'

'Okay,'

Tian Naogui, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and thought about the sarcastic things he had said to Jin Ling before, and cold sweat came down his face. This girl, which family did she come from? He anxiously went through the names of the provincial leaders in his head, looking for which one had the surname Jin.

'I heard that your group has invested in a factory here. Would it be convenient for you to ask your uncle to take a look?' Senior official Guo was not finished. He had originally come with an inspection schedule.

'You are most welcome. It is a great honour!' Jin Ling said with a smile.

'That's fine. You are busy. I will see you at the meeting.' Senior official Guo shook her hand cordially, and the accompanying reporter immediately captured the scene.

The accompanying leaders compared the time Guo spent in front of the Jiasheng booth to the time he spent in front of the booth of the Provincial Shipbuilding Corporation.
