Following Wang Ye's voice, the two girls also turned their heads and looked over, and their faces instantly lit up with joy!
"Teacher Wang? Senior?"
The two voices sounded almost at the same time, and Wang Ye smiled and waved his hand and said:
"I didn't expect to meet you on the train. What a coincidence!"
In fact, when Wang Ye heard the voice just now, he felt that the voice was a little familiar. When he walked over, he saw that they were acquaintances. Both of them were students at Huaqing, and they were in the same department as Wang Ye.
But at that time, Wang Ye was already a graduate student, and they were still undergraduates.
The girl with the slim figure was called Song Kaixin. When Wang Ye heard the name at first, he thought she was called Song Kaixin. As for the girl with the Chinese character face, her name was Bai Lan.
The reason why I got to know them is because Wang Ye helped take one semester of undergraduate mechanical drawing courses during his graduate school. The performance and results of these two girls were very good, which impressed Wang Ye deeply. In the second semester, Wang Ye served as the laboratory engineer of Seiko Then he met the two of them again. As a result, the two people's practical machine tool operations were hellish, which impressed Wang Ye again.
"Ouch? We actually know each other?"
"But you kid, you will remember this day for the rest of your life. You regret standing up just now!"
"Because I hate pretentious people the most!"
The leading man actually took out a small knife from his pocket and walked towards Wang Ye. The three people behind him followed suit and tried to surround him. Seeing this, Wang Ye took two steps back and shouted:
"Baojun! Baojun! Come here to fight. Someone wants to hit your factory director!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a rumble of footsteps in the next car. Then, under the gaze of hundreds of people in the car, a dozen young men, tall and tall, rushed over from the next car. They all had ferocious expressions. The key was that someone was actually carrying them. Someone was carrying a gas tank, someone was carrying an electric fan, and someone was actually holding a half-section of a telephone pole that was more than two meters long and wrapped in cloth. The most exaggerated thing was that someone was actually carrying a washing machine!
"Fuck! Who are you? Let me see, grandpa, my hands are itchy after not fighting for so long!"
The leader was Li Baojun, holding a one-meter-long steel pipe in his hand, pointing at the man not far away and shouting arrogantly.
In fact, Li Baojun really wasn't bragging. Before Wang Ye came to the machinery factory, they, the young people in a large group, had nothing to do all day long. Apart from wandering around, they only had fights every now and then. After all, young people are full of firepower. , he will take action if he disagrees with you.
Now that he is doing business with Wang Ye, his temper has gradually calmed down.
That moment.
Seeing the group of tough men summoned by Wang Ye, the faces of the people across from them turned pale!
"run!"
The man at the head shouted, turned around and was about to run away. Then Wang Ye stepped forward and kicked the man on the back. Then a group of Wang Ye's younger brothers rushed up and punched the four people. Hit and kick.
"That's almost enough. Don't cause any casualties."
"Search them and their luggage carefully."
After hearing Wang Ye's order, a group of young people stripped several people naked, leaving only their underwear, and found a lot of wallets and other things. In an instant, someone stood up and shouted in surprise:
"My purse!"
For this kind of person, Wang Ye didn't want to say anything more and said to Li Baojun:
"Ask him what's in it, and give it to him if you answer it correctly."
"If you answer incorrectly, or if you answer vaguely, just go down and hand it over to the police when you pass the station later."
"Throw these guys out at the station later and hand them over to the police as well!"
After hearing Wang Ye's arrangement, Li Baojun said "Hey" and went to make arrangements. Then Song Kaixin, who had already picked up his wallet, looked at Wang Ye, wiped the tears that had just come out of fear, sniffed and asked in surprise:
"Teacher Wang, why are you on the train?"
"I heard someone say before that you took the initiative to apply to Hongxing Machinery Factory. I was so sorry at that time!"
"The teachers all praise your skills. It would be a pity to go to such a third-tier factory."
In response to this, Wang Ye waved his hands with a smile, pointed at the various products carried by the young people next to him, and then said with a smile:
"Hi! I am a brick. I can move it wherever it is needed. I am just contributing to the country. There is no pity."
"No, we are doing quite well now. Look at our products, including electric fans, washing machines, and gas tanks. They are not bad, right?"
"We are going to attend the Canton Fair in Yangcheng!"
"What about you? Taking advantage of your free time during the summer vacation, are you going to go to the south to have fun? Go to the coastal open city to have a look?"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, the two girls couldn't help but look at each other, with a look of surprise on their faces.
The reason is also very simple. When he was in school, Wang Ye was also a well-known figure in the college. He was a serious academic, a good student in the teacher's mouth, and he was also respected by many lower-grade students.
It is precisely because of this that, in their opinion, Wang Ye should not make such a simple mistake!
Just talk about the electric fans, gas tanks, and washing machines carried by the young people.
The gas tank is an ordinary pressure vessel. Although it is difficult to produce, the cost is mainly concentrated on the value of steel, and the added value is not that high. The current steel price in China is higher than the international steel futures price. Under such circumstances, Only a fool would buy gas cylinders from China and then transport them across the ocean to their own country for sale!
It feels like buying coal from Tianxia City, the largest coal producer in Shanjin Province, and then selling it in Anshan City, Liaoshen Province!
Isn't this a pure idiot?
As for electric fans and washing machines, they are just ordinary products and have little appeal to foreign merchants.
The thought flashed past, and Song Kaixin quickly explained:
"No, we graduated this year and were assigned to the National Economic and Trade Commission. We are still in the learning stage. The leader asked us to go to the Canton Fair to do research and write a report, so we took a trip back to Bai Lan's house. Her family is from Quancheng."
"Then I transferred to Yangcheng and unexpectedly ran into you!"
"But Teacher Wang, as far as I know, these electric fans and washing machines are quite common abroad. If you take these products to the Canton Fair, the effect will not be very good, right?"
In the end, she couldn't help but ask. Wang Ye waved his hands and said nonchalantly:
"It doesn't matter, it's our first time to participate anyway, and we don't expect any sales."
"The main reason is to gain knowledge and see what products are good at earning foreign exchange. Isn't it possible to change the direction of production in the future?"
Suddenly the two girls suddenly realized that Wang Ye's reasons barely convinced them. After all, if they don't take them to the Canton Fair, whether it is an electric fan or a washing machine, they are actually still good products!
Wang Ye pointed to the car next door and said:
"I'm right next door. If anything happens, just call me."
"Then let's go first!"
Then Wang Ye led a group of young people and escorted four "Xiaoli" who were only wearing underwear, back to the original carriage. Anyway, there must be no one on the train to care about this matter.
After waiting for a while, the train stopped at the station. Wang Ye took a few young people and handed over all the people and their dirt to the station.
The next day and two nights were spent in "咣咣咣咪".
July 13th.
The train finally arrived at Yangcheng City Railway Station. At the exit, Wang Ye and the others parted ways with the two girls. Although the ultimate goal of both parties was the Canton Fair, they were going to different places.
the following few days.
Wang Ye settled in the guest house with a group of younger brothers. During this period, he also met many other units that came to participate in the Canton Fair. Many units came with dozens of people, and even many women and children.
The reason is simple. Coming to the Canton Fair is a trip at public expense!
After all, Yangcheng is the first area to open up in China and is one of the vanguards of rapid development. Compared with the cities in the north and inland, it is unimaginably prosperous and has a dazzling array of products, which is very attractive to many people. .
Therefore, taking advantage of the Canton Fair, it was just right for the factory leaders to arrange for their families to take such a trip at public expense.
But overall.
Wang Ye still felt the serious attitude of various units. After all, if the Canton Fair can do business, it will be a serious foreign exchange creation, and it will be of great help to the factory.
For a few days, all units were busy setting up stalls.
On Wang Ye's side, in addition to allocating some manpower to set up stalls, he also allocated some manpower, under the leadership of Wang Ye, to wander outside various foreign-related agencies to conduct investigations. After all, knowing yourself and the enemy will always win.
Look at which countries people come from, this is very important!
Soon, the time came to July 20th.
Canton Fair opens!
Wang Ye arrived at the venue early in the morning.
In fact, the format of the Canton Fair is no different from that of a shopping mall. Manufacturers have a large or small booth with various products.
The booth allocated to Hongxing Machinery Factory covers an area of about 80 square meters. After the layout in the past few days, there is now an electric fan on the left in front of the booth, a washing machine on the right, and a table in the middle, similar to consultation. Taiwan-like existence.
But in the second half, Wang Ye used the materials provided by the organizer to create a compartment, covering an area of about thirty square meters. There were gas tanks, steel pipe rockets, and a simple table on it. There are televisions and video recorders.
There is also a small round table and two chairs. It is obvious that this is the place where business is discussed.
8am.
Accompanied by a lengthy opening ceremony and several cannon shots, the 1982 Autumn Canton Fair opened!
In the booth of Hongxing Machinery Factory, ten strong young people, all wearing labor protection uniforms, stood there neatly, looking like a wall, making the whole booth look quite weird.
"Watch carefully, I'll go take a look!"
Seeing Wang Ye carrying a handbag, the young people at the stall suddenly showed expectant expressions.
"yes!"
Li Baojun quickly stood up and said, and then Wang Ye left the stall unsteadily.
The full name of the Canton Fair is the China Import and Export Fair. Since it is an import and export trade, in addition to Chinese units, there are many foreign companies that also have stalls here.
Moreover, the entire Canton Fair will last for half a month, so Wang Ye is not in a hurry.
Walk around the exhibition area.
Wang Ye looked around like an ordinary tourist. Although the main force of the Canton Fair is many domestic units and many foreign merchants, there are still some ordinary tourists.
But in fact, it is not accurate to say that it is ordinary. After all, those who can get a ticket to enter must either be rich or have a background. At the very least, they must be some kind of model worker or model worker, otherwise it is impossible to enter.
After a while, Wang Ye analyzed some situations from the many stalls in the exhibition area.
The exhibition area on the Chinese side.
What is sold is mainly mineral resources, including coal, metals, rare metals, and primary processed products such as asbestos, as well as various Chinese specialties, such as porcelain, tea, silk, embroidery, and some agricultural products. Such as wild vegetables and so on.
Moreover, I have to say a very sad thing, that is, although China is called "porcelain" by foreign countries, in fact, the porcelain exported by China today is very low-end porcelain, with very low profit margins.
As for high-end porcelain, Japan and Europe make it better.
So it can be seen from these stalls that China today still relies heavily on resource exports to earn foreign exchange, and those low-margin light industrial products, handicraft products, and agricultural products are just the icing on the cake.
But those foreign companies are completely different, judging from their booths.
The most popular areas include agricultural machinery booths, seed booths, fertilizer booths, pesticide booths, and mid-to-low-end mechanical processing machine tool booths, which mainly involve mid-to-low-end industrial products and agricultural equipment.
"Farm machinery! Farm machinery!"
"This is the direction we must go in the future!"
Seeing the huge crowds of people on the farm machinery side, Wang Ye felt heartbroken.
Agricultural machinery is a general term, which mainly includes tractors of various sizes, not the hand-held ones, but medium and large tractors, as well as rotary cultivators, harvesters, seeders, combine harvesters, etc.
These agricultural machinery are purchased by large state-owned farms, and ordinary farmers cannot afford this now.
In later generations, although China is a major agricultural country, the high-end agricultural machinery market is still monopolized by foreign companies. For example, the tractors produced by Volvo, Lamborghini and other companies that are often heard of are very famous!
The main reasons are the poor performance of the automobile industry, poor manufacturing level in the early years, insufficient creativity and innovation, late start of development, and the threshold of patents, which have led to difficulties in the development of the agricultural industry.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Ye engages in heavy-duty diesel engines and really wants to enter the agricultural machinery industry. After all, if he can break through key technologies and develop new agricultural machinery to hit the high-end market in this era, only then will China's agricultural machinery be truly self-sufficient in the future. , and get out!
Finally, after an hour of shopping.
Wang Ye walked into the toilet. Because the Canton Fair is a foreign-related venue, the toilets here are relatively high-end and have the kind of cubicles of later generations!
After a while.
When the sound of people in the toilet disappeared, the door of a certain cubicle was pushed open, and a tall man wearing a white robe, a white gauze on his head, a slightly dark complexion, and a big beard came out.
At the same time, there was a strong and pungent smell of perfume all around the body.
"Hey, I'm Sattler Muhammad, what a genius!"
I saw this foreigner talking to himself in Arabic that was fluent and even had a local accent in Riyadh.
