Chapter 753: The Trade Fair Opens
"Once this business is launched, the investment in such a large-scale factory will be huge, but we don't have enough reserved space in our park now." Qin Zhengguo frowned.
Song Yuanchao smiled and said, "There is no need to build a new factory for the time being to set up separate factory areas and assembly lines. I remember that Shenghua Electronics has a piece of land reserved now, so let's use this land for pager production."
"Isn't this enough? The reserved area is at most the size of a building." Li Daqi couldn't help but say. He was in charge of Shenghua Telecom's business, and Shenghua Electronics was a subsidiary of Shenghua Telecom. He was very familiar with the situation of the factory.
"You don't have to worry about this. We don't need a large output at the moment. One or two assembly lines will do. As for later production, I have no intention of setting up my own factory. Building such a large and comprehensive factory does not fit into the future plans of Shenghua Telecom."
Song Yuanchao's words reminded them, and the two exchanged glances and seemed to understand Song Yuanchao's intention.
After resting for a day in Pengcheng, the three of them went to Yangcheng together the next day.
Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo had already heard that Song Yuanchao would serve as a consultant for the Jiangsu Province Spring Trade Fair. This trade fair was the 60th trade fair and was also the largest and had the largest number of exhibitors since the reform and opening up.
Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo planned to go and take a look together, and Pengcheng Shenghua itself also participated in this trade fair. As the boss of Shenghua, it was natural for him to visit the site.
Zheng Li's belly is already obvious, so it is naturally impossible for her to accompany Li Daqi. Qin Zhengguo is also alone, but his family is now in Yangcheng, so he can also accompany his family this time.
After returning to Yangcheng, Song Yuanchao temporarily parted ways with them because he had his own job. Besides, Li Daqi and the others were not suitable to follow Song Yuanchao. Anyway, as the bosses of Shenghua, they could use Shenghua's exhibition passes to enter the venue and did not need Song Yuanchao's help, so Song Yuanchao did not pay much attention to them.
After returning, there were only a few days left before the official opening date, and Song Yuanchao immediately inspected the exhibition site and carefully implemented some of the final work.
During the days he was away, the staff who stayed on site did a very good job, especially the project manager from the advertising company who was very responsible. The completed exhibition setup fully met Song Yuanchao's requirements. When looking at the distinctive and beautiful booths and the samples and billboards that had already begun to be visited, Song Yuanchao was very satisfied.
"I didn't expect it to be so beautiful, Xiao Song, you are right, let professionals do professional things. I have participated in several trade fairs before, but compared with the current booths, the previous booths are simply not up to par." Feng Hongmei was one of the first staff members to come to Yangcheng with Song Yuanchao to make preparations. During the days when Song Yuanchao was away, Feng Hongmei took on a lot of work. As the trade fair was about to officially open, she couldn't help but sigh when looking at the beautiful booths around her.
"Haha, I'm just making a suggestion . I'm not here these days, so you'd better go to Sister Hongmei to do the specific work." Song Yuanchao said with a modest smile.
"You, you are too modest but proud. It's useless to say these things to your superiors than to me." Feng Hongmei said with a smile. She and Song Yuanchao have been familiar with each other for a long time. Ever since Song Yuanchao reported to the Enterprise Department, it has been Feng Hongmei who has cooperated with him in his actual work. Although Feng Hongmei's impression of Song Yuanchao could not be said to be good or bad at the beginning, it could only be said to be ordinary.
But as time went by, the two gradually became familiar with each other. Now Feng Hongmei has long been impressed by her younger brother Song Yuanchao. Moreover, she knows in her heart that Song Yuanchao is not only a capable person, but also has a background, otherwise he would not have become a consultant for the project team.
Now they have a very good relationship and have long called each other "Xiao Song" and "Sister Hongmei".
"Hahaha, look at what you said, aren't you my leader?" Song Yuanchao joked with her with a smile. Feng Hongmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook her head and said, "What kind of leader am I? My rank is not as high as yours. I'm just a handyman. Come on, you insult me as soon as you come back, right? Are you itching for trouble?"
"No, no." Song Yuanchao waved his hands repeatedly and asked, "By the way, Sister Hongmei, have all the leaders arrived? Have any of them come to see us?"
"Several leaders have already arrived. They visited the site yesterday afternoon and fully affirmed our work. Secretary-General Li is busy with work and will not be able to arrive until the opening day."
The two chatted as they walked. The exhibition area of Jiangsu Province covers a large area and will be officially opened soon. They must ensure that everything is foolproof. If they find out at the last minute that some things are not done well and then make corrections, it will be too late.
After spending a whole day at the exhibition with Feng Hongmei, Song Yuanchao went to meet several leaders who had arrived in Yangcheng earlier in the evening and gave them a brief report.
In a blink of an eye, it was the opening day of the exhibition. After the short and warm opening ceremony, the local leaders and exhibition organizers of Yangcheng officially announced the start of this year's 60th Spring Trade Fair, and warm applause rang out.
Song Yuanchao originally planned to just do some minor work today, because he had basically completed all the work he could do, and it would depend on the performance of each enterprise next.
Unexpectedly, Secretary-General Li, who had just arrived, called Song Yuanchao over, and asked Song Yuanchao to accompany him into the venue with a smile, and at the same time introduced the specific arrangements of this Jiangsu Province exhibition.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Song Yuanchao naturally could not refuse and could only accompany Secretary-General Li and his party into the venue. He took them through the exhibition area in front and soon arrived at the exhibition area where the Jiangsu Province enterprises were located.
When they arrived, everyone's eyes lit up at the same time. Compared with the exhibition areas of the previous regions, the exhibition area of Jiangsu Province was particularly eye-catching this time.
The beautiful booth easily attracts the eye at first glance, and with the carefully arranged billboards and samples, it looks more upscale than ordinary exhibition areas.
A glimmer of joy flashed across Secretary Li's eyes. Although he had heard reports from his comrades before coming, seeing it with his own eyes was completely different from hearing about it.
Looking at the people next to him, pointing at the booth in front of them and introducing to him what company the booth was, why the booth was designed and built with such shapes and colors, and the benefits of doing so, etc., Secretary-General Li couldn't help but sigh that the decision to let Song Yuanchao be a consultant this time was completely correct. Needless to say, just these booths made their Jiangsu Province stand out in this exhibition, directly overshadowing other provinces and cities across the country.
On a whim, Secretary-General Li stood in front of a booth of an enterprise from his province and spoke to several comrades who came with him. His words were nothing more than the importance of this Spring Festival Trade Fair to the province and the hard work of the organizing comrades, etc., and of course, the leaders' foresight and wise decisions were also indispensable.
Although he was speaking with great enthusiasm and the comrades listening around him were also in high spirits, Secretary-General Li still managed the time and finished speaking after only a few minutes. After all, he was not the protagonist today, but the companies present and the foreign investors who were about to enter. He still knew clearly what was more important.
After he finished speaking, the accompanying journalist suggested taking a photo of Secretary-General Li in front of the exhibition area. Secretary-General Li readily agreed and smiled as he invited everyone to take the photo together.
Song Yuanchao originally didn't want to get involved, but Secretary-General Li forcibly dragged him to his side. Helplessly, Song Yuanchao could only force a smile, take a photo with everyone, and leave behind his "beautiful figure".
The leaders walked around the venue and left when it was almost time. Before leaving, Secretary-General Li spoke a few words to Song Yuanchao. Although the exhibition had already begun, it was time to test the actual results. As a consultant, he hoped that Song Yuanchao would stay on site to take care of it. He was busy with his work and would return to Jinling this afternoon. However, Deputy Director Xie and several other cadres would stay. Song Yuanchao and Comrade Feng Hongmei should keep an eye on the site. If there were any problems, they should communicate with Deputy Director Xie in time. If Deputy Director Xie could not solve the problem, they could call him directly.
Song Yuanchao agreed immediately and personally saw Secretary-General Li off. When they arrived outside the venue, Song Yuanchao escorted Secretary-General Li and others to the car. After watching their car drive away, Song Yuanchao took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. After finishing the cigarette, he turned around and returned to the venue.
Back to the exhibition area, it is now very lively. With the continuous influx of overseas merchants, merchants from all over the world began to look for products and manufacturers that they are interested in, and began to make tentative inquiries and negotiations.
The exhibition area of Jiangsu Province is well located, in the middle of the entire venue. In addition, the design of the booths is novel and eye-catching. Song Yuanchao and his team had made plans for each booth in advance, integrating various aspects such as industry, product, and special features. Compared with the exhibition areas of other provinces and cities, the booths are more professional.
In addition, the manufacturers participating in this trade fair also made a lot of arrangements under the advice of Song Yuanchao, including beautifully printed professional materials and introductions which were prepared in advance.
In addition to these, each booth also has one or two small partitions on one side of the booth as a temporary meeting room, which is equipped with tables and chairs for customers to sit down and negotiate.
Each booth also has drinking water equipment sponsored by Sit Company, including bottled water, plastic cups printed with Sit's logo, and coffee and other beverages.
The display of samples and reception methods at the booth also underwent certain training. In addition, everyone was dressed in uniform and had specially made exquisite badges on their chests representing Jiangsu Province's participation in the exhibition. These made the exhibition look very professional at first glance.
In addition, according to Song Yuanchao's suggestion, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation also specially selected a group of professional foreign language talents from various universities and colleges and assigned them to various booths to serve as a bridge for communication between on-site manufacturers and foreign businessmen.
Because of the thorough preparations in the early stages, their booths quickly attracted many foreign businessmen to come for consultation and communication. Although no actual orders have been signed yet, judging from the on-site situation, everything is progressing well. Looking at this scene, Song Yuanchao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
