Chapter 235 For the Thousands of Farmers(1/2)
When the group landed at the International Airport in Port City, Gu Qingshan, Qian Jin, Sun Ming, and each of the three of them came to greet each other in a car!
In addition to Ye Wenzhu, Zhang Yan and Yao Rongrong, there are two new classmates.
In addition to this student team, Director Sun Liren also led five colleagues.
Although in front of many people, when Ye Wenzhu saw Lin Ping, she took two more steps with anticipation and stood beside Lin Ping.
Instead of greeting Ye Wenzhu in front of everyone, Lin Ping looked at Director Sun Liren and said, "I have arranged a hotel for everyone. You can visit everywhere in the past two days."
"Thank you Mr. Lin for your reception! But we don't have two days to visit. There is an important meeting to be held tomorrow afternoon. I'm afraid we will have to fly back to the capital tomorrow morning!" If it weren't for foreign exchange, Sun Liren wouldn't have made this trip in person.
Seeing that the other party was nervous, Lin Ping had to finish the business first.
"You send everyone to the school to report first, and after all the procedures are completed, you will pick you up at the restaurant we have booked for dinner." Lin Ping signaled Sun Ming to drive Ye Wenzhu to report to the school first, and he accompanied Director Sun to transfer the foreign exchange to the account.
"The school has arranged dormitories for you. You can live in dormitories, and if you are not used to it, you can live in your home. Anyway, this place is so big, and living in no place will affect your class." After signaling everyone to work first, Lin Ping looked at Ye Wenzhu and said.
Seeing Lin Ping asking for his opinions in public, Ye Wenzhu was both happy and helpless.
What’s happy is that Lin Ping cares about himself in public.
And what was helpless was that she had the nerve to talk about living at home in front of so many people.
"We can just live in the school dormitory. When we wait on Saturday and Sunday, we will go home for two days. At that time, we want to improve the food or have a meal at home. We will come together at that time!" Ye Wenzhu said this with a hostess attitude.
Soon everyone left separately. Lin Ping took Sun Liren and others to the bank and filled out a check of 200 million US dollars.
"We will immediately transfer the RMB to your account when we return to China! You don't know that there are too many projects that China wants to introduce recently, and foreign exchange is extremely tight. If it weren't for your company, many departments and factories would probably have to delay the plans for introducing equipment for a few years." Sun Liren looked at the 200 million US dollars of foreign exchange, and his face was radiant and he said happily.
"Our company also plans to introduce equipment immediately, fully automatic beverage production lines, milk processing plants, and plastic mold production lines, all of which are the work we will do next." Lin Ping looked at Sun Liren and said.
"Okay! Our country is very eager for this kind of consumer goods. People's lives are gradually improving, and everyone is becoming more urgent about the richness of goods.
If there are consumer goods of high quality and cheap prices, ordinary people will make choices. This is the life that everyone is thinking about living, rather than buying a certain type of product, there are only one or two choices on the shelves.
It’s like buying a drink and buying a soda, but the one that ordinary people can afford is the Arctic soda. Although children like to drink it very much, the taste is too simple. More choices on the shelves are a good thing for consumers, and it is also a great thing for the production of these beverages.
Farmers can sell the fruits they produce to you manufacturers. After all, we are a major agricultural country. If you help farmers do something practical, the people across the country will be grateful to you.” When Sun Liren said this, he glanced at the two cups of coffee brought by the service staff in the bank, and then said meaningfully.
Sun Liren is not used to drinking coffee, but prefers to drink tea.
At this time, the diversity of products and its advantages can be fully utilized.
People who don’t like drinking coffee can choose to drink tea, juice, or soda, and it is not ruled out that they can produce their own coke in the future.
"After I return to the capital in a few days, I will start my trip to the origin. I will draw one raw material supply place after another across the country, and I will give farmers in these places a certain deposit in advance.
When the harvest season comes, I hope our factory has been built. I also hope that because of our existence, these farmers and farmers will have more income.
Once these products open up sales around the world, they will be able to drive more families to achieve a well-off life." Lin Ping hopes that his business center can drive enough families to enter a happy life.
"Why would you take me to the big supermarket in Hong Kong now? I also hope that one day, such a big supermarket will bloom everywhere in China. Although the supply and marketing cooperative is the largest retail institution in the country, state-owned units have their own constraints.
At this time, supermarkets in market economy such as this may be more popular with the people." After finishing the business and drinking the coffee in his hand, Sun Liren wanted to go to the current Hongcheng Supermarket and shopping malls to visit.
"Okay, let's set off now." Soon the group left the bank and returned to their car.
"Linzi, there is a product trade fair in Hong Kong City recently. There are several production lines you want at this trade fair. I also saw it when I was reading the newspaper yesterday. Do you want to take the time to take a look?" Gu Qingshan pulled Lin Ping aside before getting on the car and said.
"Since it's right at your doorstep, of course you have to take a look. If it's the product we need, we can decide it right away." After all, Hong Kong City is one of the top three major cities in Asia. There are a large number of exhibitions and product fairs every year. From small to daily necessities to large units to car yachts and private jets, thousands of merchants appear in such booths every year.
After all, this is not the era of the Internet explosion. If you want to sell your company's products to all over the world, you need to let consumers and business owners around the world understand their company's strength and company's products.
For these small and medium-sized enterprises, many companies are unable to go to all exhibitions around the world. After all, the cost of purchasing booths this year is quite expensive, and the global travel of employees is the last straw that crushes some small and medium-sized enterprises.
In the era of the Internet explosion, it was extremely easy to become a multinational company. Even in the era of e-commerce, opening an online store online can be said to be a multinational company.
In this era, the value of the four words "multinational enterprises" far exceeds the perception of people during the Internet explosion.
After Lin Ping got on the car, he told Sun Liren about this situation.
"Since there is an exhibition, we naturally have to visit it. What we lack most in China is the production lines of these commodities and the latest technology at present. We do not lack workers or factories. The only thing we lack is these production lines that need to be bought with foreign exchange.
In fact, in addition to using new foreign exchange procurement technology in the past two years, China has been developing new production lines on its own. However, starting from scratch, there is not even reference materials. Many times, after spending a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, we found that not only have taken many detours, but even the things we developed do not even have half of the technical standards for others.
Now many domestic units are eager to introduce some through purchases and then return to China to imitate these high-level production lines.
With physical references, everyone's success rate will naturally be higher." It is really difficult for the domestic environment to engage in research and development like a headless fly.
Whenever a production line is purchased with extremely precious foreign exchange, other sister units in the same industry will send people to visit.
Even many other sister units in the same industry will use tape rulers to measure, and the operating mode of the entire production line of each key component will be recorded.
Many units cannot apply for foreign exchange to purchase, so they can only take a tape measure and then go home to work behind closed doors.
Even if the products produced behind closed doors are not ideal, they are at least much better than their own gap in research and development.
In this way, a lot of money can be saved.
"Introduce advanced technology through purchase, then digest and absorb it, so that our technicians can upgrade and transform it. This is indeed a route worth considering!" Lin Ping, as a veteran, has some understanding of the experience of copycat copying during that period.
In the final analysis, many manufacturers have no money to make trouble, want to develop but have no money, and there is no money to keep up with the market.
As a last resort, everyone had to embark on the road of copycats. Through this relatively bumpy and relatively cheap road, many factories have advanced production lines, which can slowly develop through this production line.
Soon everyone came to a nearby large supermarket. After entering the supermarket, they looked at the dazzling array of goods inside.
The accompanying staff couldn't help but exclaim.
Sun Liren is a department head who often goes out for inspection, but this time, many of them even took the plane for the first time.
At the same time, it was the first time they saw such a large supermarket.
Get used to domestic stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, and everyone is very curious about this purchasing model where you can reach out from the shelves.
"Everyone can buy something. After finally going out, they have to bring some things to their family that are not so easy to buy in Beijing. This time, our company invites everyone to come. So, all the consumption this time will be paid for by our company." Lin Ping looked at everyone and expressed his opinion quickly.
After hearing Lin Ping's words, the entourage did not dare to reach out to get things like this. After all, the supervisor was present, and they had to listen to the leader.
As a leader, Sun Liren certainly knew that spending other people’s money at this time was a mistake.
But the person in front of him must give face. Lin Ping opened his mouth, even if he risked making mistakes, he had to hold on.
"That means our Foreign Exchange Administration thanks Mr. Lin for his hospitality. Since Mr. Lin has spoken, everyone can bring some things back and bring some gifts to our colleagues." Sun Liren did not want to completely satisfy his personal desires.
Hearing the leader's approval, the nervous expressions on several people relaxed.
However, in the words of the leaders, they also heard the meaning of bringing some gifts to their colleagues.
It is obviously hoped that everyone has it, at least in the office where they are, make sure that everyone has it.
Everyone pushes the shopping cart to start purchasing goods, but when they face the dazzling array of goods, many people don’t know how to start.
Fortunately, Gu Qingshan Qian Jin and the other two were accompanying each other and helped everyone choose shopping.
"This whole wall of drinks is indeed amazing." Even Sun Liren, who often goes abroad, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the various wines and drinks piled up on the wall.
"Many of these beverages are foreign brands! What we have to do at that time is to replace all these foreign brands in the shopping malls we open, and narrow their booths if they cannot be replaced. In any case, domestic brands must be promoted. Only after a few brands are established in China can we drive upstream and downstream production raw materials and processing factories, and farmers and workers can increase their income at that time." When Lin Ping spoke, he put some completely English-language juice and milk in everyone's shopping cart.
"Everyone bring it back and taste it, remember this taste. When our products come out in the future, I will definitely ask you to taste it." For Lin Ping, it is far better to make money by making a juice brand than to use a few pieces of land.
However, being rich can't be as fulfilling as the people who drive a land to become rich.
When a certain brand of a beverage company produces billions of bottles per year, as advertised by a certain milk tea, the paper cups they sell can circle the earth several times a year.
Once it becomes large, the upstream and downstream industries driven will drive at least one county and at most several consecutive urban and suburban counties will become rich.
Lao Ganma's own efforts have increased the income of those farmers who produce raw materials, and the number of people he has driven is more than 100,000.
Hearing Lin Ping's words, Sun Liren hurriedly responded: "Then we should look forward to Mr. Lin's beverage brand being launched soon. At that time, our unit must buy some as a benefit for the Chinese New Year."
Although the Foreign Exchange Administration has not many staff members, internal procurement has done its best.
After all, as a commodity, it is always sold to the market. As a regular customer, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange buys some of them and distributes them to the comrades working in the State Administration of Foreign Exchange during the holidays. Let everyone enjoy it, what is the difference between these new products and those Arctic soda?
"Then at that time, our company will definitely give the comrades from the Foreign Exchange Administration." Lin Ping did not mention giving free gifts like this. It was not that Lin Ping was stingy, but that giving free gifts could be risky of accepting bribes!
As a smart person, Lin Ping naturally cannot raise questions that embarrass Director Sun.
The group stayed in the supermarket for an hour, and the car could not accommodate the items they bought.
Seeing this scene, many people think they are too greedy.
But when I was buying goods in the supermarket, I didn’t notice it at all. I only found out when I checked out that everyone was originally pushing a trolley, but in the end, almost everyone was pushing two trolleys.
Fortunately, there are many taxis, so I took a taxi and sent these things back to the hotel first.
"Will we buy so many things embarrass the director? Although it was someone who received us, we came with a mission this time. It is really embarrassing to make it look like this now." Several entourage members did not rush to the exhibition center with Lin Ping and Director Sun Liren, but stayed in the hotel room to pack up the things they had just bought.
"It's a bit ugly! When we checked the bill just now, our director's face almost fell to the ground. He felt that he had lost face today with us. Fortunately, Mr. Lin was easy to talk to. If it were someone else's words, he thought we were here to beat the landlords and rich people!" Thinking of the director's face, the few people couldn't help but feel their heads being overwhelmed.
After returning to the capital and returning to work, you will definitely have to accept criticism.
"The main reason is that there are too many commodities inside, and Gu Qingshan and Qian Jin kept putting things into our trolley. It was too late to stop it. When I found something was wrong, I had no choice.
You can't throw all the things on the ground in front of Mr. Lin! It seems that it's better to participate less in this kind of thing in the future. If you don't do it well, this will be a serious mistake." Looking at the goods piled up in half a room, everyone felt that this time was too reckless.
"Our director pushed two cars differently, so there is no need to blame himself excessively. Although such behavior is not good, it is hard to refuse. Besides, Mr. Lin is the person our Foreign Exchange Administration relies most now. He has brought the country a lot of foreign exchange in this year, so Mr. Lin naturally won't care about this commodity. It's nothing more than that, we are so rude, and they all seem to have never seen the world.
I really hope that there are such large shopping malls in China. When ordinary people buy things, they will be as dazzled as we do. Instead of choosing and choosing, there are only a few products. If you want or don’t want, you can only make a choice among these few." Some people hope that there is no need for everyone to over-interpret. Although they have confirmed that they have made a mistake, as long as they have not returned, they are still in their working state. I hope everyone can cheer up and deal with the next trip, and don’t make such low-level mistakes again.
"Did you see the amount when checking out? Our dozens of small carts cost more than 90,000 Hong Kong dollars in total. Not to mention what this money means? Just talking about the prices here, ordinary people in China can't afford it. Although some of the wages of electronics factory workers have reached more than 2,000, and the average wages of the entire semiconductor industry have reached more than 80 yuan. This is in the past, but I can't imagine it. After all, in other industries, the salary of 80 yuan is only the treatment that those 8-level workers can enjoy.
If you have such a small salary, you can visit such a supermarket once a year, and even if you just buy New Year’s goods, many people can’t afford it. At this stage, it seems that our country is not suitable." In order to alleviate the psychological burden on everyone, someone has changed the topic.
"You can't say that. Take pork as an example. I took a look when I was passing by. The price of our pork is much lower than that here. Even when I passed by the places where pots and pans were sold, I looked at the price tags marked on the price tag. A pair of chopsticks is more than ten times higher than that in our capital.
My meaning is very simple. You cannot use the prices here to compare our domestic income. Such a comparison is meaningless and unfair. The best-selling Arctic soda in our country is only a few cents. And any soda or beverage you see here starts at least one Hong Kong dollar." Several people talked about the prices.
Just as several people were discussing the quality of this supermarket trip, Lin Ping and Director Sun Liren had already visited the exhibition.
After everyone took a promotional material, they walked and read it.
"Let's go and check out the milk processing production line first." There is naturally no complete set of equipment on site. Even if there is one, it is just a reduced model. After all, such a booth cannot be placed in a factory.
The manufacturer just brought promotional materials and reduced models here to promote it. If any customer intends to buy, they can take the customer back to the factory display area in their country.
Or take the customer to the nearest factory where our company's production line has been installed, and look at the complete set of production lines. If you believe that the customer is willing to buy it, the attitude will be obvious.
To be continued...
