Chapter 23: Storm

The work the next morning was also very simple. I went to the Trade Fair Organizing Committee to register and submit the information, and also obtained some information about manufacturers and investors from the Organizing Committee, and set up my own negotiation seat in the Andu group exhibition area.

As soon as you enter the venue of the Trade Fair, you can feel the strong atmosphere of competition. As the host, Anyuan Province naturally has natural advantages. Not only does it have the best exhibition area, but it also has a larger area than other provinces. As the capital of Anyuan Province, Andu City is naturally more conspicuous in it, but the seats that fall into Jiangkou County seem a little lonely.

The seats in Jiangkou County, which is located in a corner, are behind the Andu group. In other words, the merchant representatives need to circle the entire Andu exhibition area to see the introduction pictures and texts of Jiangkou County and Jiangkou Development Zone behind them. Compared with Huaxi District, Tianhe District, Bichi District and Huayang County in the front, the status can be seen at a glance.

"That's it, how can we attract investment in Jiangkou?" Sun Qin slapped the table indignantly and said, "Director Qu, these people from the Municipal Investment and Merchants Bureau are too bullying, right? Not to mention the city, look at Huayang and Wangtang counties, why can they put the booth around the corner?"

Qu Yunbai was also angry, but he was helpless. He had to leave Peng Xiaofang to take charge of the matter in advance. Now he was unwilling to come, and it would be meaningless to question him and could not change the reality.

"Forget it, Xiao Sun, it's already like this, it's not interesting to argue for a while, let's prepare for it." Qu Yunbai sighed, "But this location is too remote. If you don't pay attention, no one will come here."

"Yes, Director Qu, our Jiangkou Development Zone is not well-known. In this way, who can remember that there is another Jiangkou Development Zone? Director Peng is too irresponsible for his work!" Sun Qin was also a sarcastic person, and he was unforgivable when speaking: "I was preparing for this matter a month ago. Could it be that way? Who can't be a deputy director like this? Director Huang, what do you think?"

Huang Zhongjie smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Zhao Guodong also felt that it was a bit too much. The people from the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau were obviously old ladies who bought persimmons - they were specially selected and soft. Jiangkou's economy was not developed at all, so their confidence could not be compared with those of Huayang and Wangtang, which had relatively developed county economies, but in Changjin and Meixian, which were similar to Jiangkou's economic level, they could also get a good position. This is Peng Xiaofang's responsibility.

Zhao Guodong looked around. Although there were tables and chairs, there were basically no advertisements. It seemed that other counties that should have been in this area had given up here and found another way. No wonder when he came here, he saw that the posters and advertisements from Lushan County were placed next to Huaxi District, which was clearly built.

"Director Qu, I think we are doing a good job in this ad post. Is there anything extra?"

"Yes, this is designed and produced by us in Andu City. We have shown the most beautiful side of our Jiangkou. Because we are worried that there will be damage during the meeting, we spent more money to make a backup." Sun Qin said proudly.

"Director Qu, look, if we put this advertising sticker on the cross passage, just opposite the conference hall gate, you can see it at a glance, and we cut an arrow with eye-catching colored paper, so that our Jiangkou Development Zone can be clearly stated at once. No one around is willing to come. We can hang all the various information and advertising stickers we brought this time. We can enjoy such a large exhibition area, why not do it?"

"This is good, so that the people from the Municipal Investment and Merchants Bureau will not agree. This will steal the limelight from the city's development zone and several key counties and districts in their minds." Huang Zhongjie shook his head, "I'm afraid this won't work."

"How can we know if we haven't tried it? Otherwise, we would have to linger here for a few days." Zhao Guodong glanced at Huang Zhongjie, "Director Qu, look?"

Qu Yunbai hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth. At this location, I am afraid that few people will notice it if the Trade Fair is over. "Xiao Sun, go outside and make a conspicuous red arrow, hanging it on our poster, and then hang it out this afternoon. I see that some merchant representatives have entered the venue to watch today. There are many manufacturers from other places here."

Sun Qin happily agreed and ran out.

"Director Qu, then we have to communicate with the Municipal Investment and Merchants Bureau first." Huang Zhongjie frowned.

"What are you communicating? As long as we go and say it, they will definitely not agree. What affects Andu City's overall image and does not meet the standards. These reasons are not one after another in their mouths?" Zhao Guodong said disdainfully: "No matter whether they are, if you really make trouble, I will deal with it! Director Qu, just hide behind and don't speak."

Zhao Guodong was already full of anger. The people from the Municipal Investment and Merchants Bureau were so disgusting that they even gave Jiangkou the most biased area, and they were not far from the toilet. Isn’t this intentional harm to others?

After lunch, Qu Yunbai and his friends found a teahouse near the conference center to rest. Zhao Guodong invited Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan to listen in detail to the two of them's ideas and progress on the Canglang Mineral Water Project, especially after listening to the contact and communication between Zhao Changchuan and the bank in Pennsylvania, Zhao Changchuan's performance was very gratifying. Even Zhao Deshan became much more mature and steady, but there was still a sense of noise compared to his younger brother.

Zhao Guodong remembered that the mineral water industry would enter a period of outbreak from 1995. The one who impressed the most was the battle between the pure water and mountain spring water between Wahaha and Nongfu Spring. However, there were more than a year or two years before that time, and it was located in an area of ​​Anyuan. This freshly-off seedling sprout does not seem to have the strength and confidence to compete with those large mineral water companies.

"Deshan, Changchuan, I only remind you one thing: everything must be considered as the worst step. If you miss a certain link, how should we deal with it? We must prepare it all. I won't say much about the other things. Deshan said something very well just now, that is, you are not familiar with this industry, so let it be left to trustworthy experts to operate and manage. You only need to grasp a little in the early stage, sales and finance, and in the later stage, you only need to control one, finance. This is the basic principle for investors."

Zhao Guodong paused for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to talk to you, but now it is still a castle in the air, and there is no need to do so. Don't rush to achieve success, but you must hurry up. The mineral water project is still in a state of development. I guess it won't take long to enter the boom period of popularization of the public."

While the three were talking, the pager on Zhao Guodong's waist rang again. Zhao Deshan had already handed over his elder brother. Zhao Guodong went back, but heard Sun Qin's panting voice: "Director Zhao, it's not good. The people from the Municipal Investment and Merchants Bureau set up at the entrance of the passage are to be removed. We are not allowed to place it there. Director Qu has arguing with them!"

"I'll come here right now!" Zhao Guodong pressed the phone and stood up, "Okay, you go and do your business, discuss more, and think more."

"Brother, what's going on over there? Do we need to go there?" Zhao Deshan asked with concern.

"You go? What are you doing? Get out of you, this is business, and it's your turn to worry about it?" Zhao Guodong patted the other person's head angrily and amusedly.

Zhao Deshan hasn't enjoyed the feeling of someone daring to pat his head for a long time. It took him a long time to touch his head and it was over. Zhao Guodong had already walked to nowhere.

Zhao Guodong rushed back to the conference center. As soon as he stepped into the gate, he heard Qu Yunbai's crisp Mandarin: "We put our propaganda posters here without blocking anyone's view nor affecting the beauty. Why not? If your investment promotion agency can provide us with a location like other districts and counties, we can remove it!"

"Xiao Qu, you Director Peng came to contact us at the beginning, and he had no other opinions. The determination of the locations of each county and district is divided according to the wishes of the city leaders. Now, this has destroyed the overall harmony of our Andu exhibition group and highlighted your Jiangkou family. Do you still want the image of Andu? "A voice that sounded a bit majestic said slowly: "This is absolutely not possible."

"Director Labour, you just said that the poster of our Jiangkou Development Zone is very beautiful. Why has it affected the image of Andu City now? This is a public area. We highlight that our Jiangkou has not affected the interests of other families. Even the people from the Trade and Trade Fair Organizing Committee have not interfered. Why do we, Andu City, intervene in a way that can tell us the real reason?"

It was also the first time that Zhao Guodong saw Qu Yunbai's sharp tongue and sharp teeth. The tall and thin middle-aged man was also a little angry and embarrassed, "Xiao Qu, what do you mean? What is the reason here? Shu, this is because your arrangement like this has destroyed our overall layout in Andu City!"

"It's so simple? We just have an advertisement poster to destroy the overall layout of Andu City. Director Lai, I can't afford this big hat. If Andu City's investment promotion is not effective this time, you can't put the blame on me? I don't understand that these business representatives will not invest in other counties and districts of Andu City because our Jiangkou County has placed a promotional poster here?" Qu Yunbai's words were crisp and pleasant, and they stood out in the original local dialect of An.

"Director Qu!" Zhao Guodong had already entered the circle of people.

"Director Zhao! You are here just in time. The Municipal Investment and Merchants Bureau asked us to demolish this promotional screen painting and said that we have affected the image of Andu." Although Qu Yunbai was not nervous in front of everyone, he was worried. After all, that was from the municipal department, and his behavior was a bit out of line. He suddenly stole the limelight of the neighboring Huayang, Wangtang and Andu Development Zone.
