After the leaders visited, they had a simple lunch in the canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative. After several months of operation, the canteen of Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative has become the first choice place for ordinary citizens of Xizhou to eat every day with its bright and clean space and clean and rich dishes. For this trade fair, the canteen is specially closed for one day today. Although Yang Liufang had summoned the master chef and his mother-in-law from the factory canteen to work together to ensure the supply of lunch for the exhibition, the meal for 1,500 people still exhausted all the canteen staff. Due to the limited dining space, staff have been specially arranged to remind everyone not to gather in the canteen or stay for too long. Please go to the exhibition site to visit after your meal. As a result, the cafeteria was like a running table, bustling with people coming and going, and it was a mess. Hundreds of dinner plates were washed 6 times before the guests finished their meal.
Many years later, at the Xizhou Investment and Trade Fair, which was developed based on this trade fair and was comparable to the Canton Fair, Yang Liufang felt ashamed when he saw the orderly exhibition site and the comfortable and clean dining environment. He could only secretly be glad that this fair was held in the northwest in the early stages of reform and opening up. In addition, the transportation was underdeveloped, and the main guests were only the heads of township supply and marketing cooperatives in the northwest province and neighboring provinces. Very few of us had ever been here. Most of the vast Loess Plateau has never seen the big world, otherwise such disorderly large-scale activities would only make people laugh.
The opening ceremony and exhibition activities ended in one day, and the next day was the event signing ceremony. The signing ceremony was still held at the Provincial People's Hall. Because Yang Liufang and the others did not know how many heads of participating supply and marketing cooperatives would be willing to sign, they only prepared 500 marketing contracts. Unexpectedly, just two hours after the event started, all 500 agency contracts were signed. The contract stipulated that each agent must pay a deposit of 20,000. This deposit will be allocated by the Xizhou Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative Hardware Sales Department to distribute 20,000 sanitary ware products for sale. Unfinished products can be returned. If the sales are good, we will continue to supply them according to sales demand in the future. In this way, 500 contracts means 10 million yuan in revenue.
An influx of 10 million into the sales department's separate account within a few hours shocked President Li of the General Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and he immediately reported it to the Provincial Department of Commerce. There happened to be a few heads of supply and marketing cooperatives who had not signed the contract who knew the leaders of the Provincial Department of Commerce and had already revealed the matter through personal relationships, saying that Yang Liufang and others were hungry for marketing and favored one over the other. The leaders of the Provincial Department of Commerce could not sit still and hurriedly reported to the Provincial Party Committee.
The Provincial Party Committee immediately instructed the Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative to satisfy all guests who are willing to sign contracts. The provincial leaders did not intend to attend the closing ceremony. Faced with this situation, they had to adjust their schedule and sent the deputy governor to attend the closing ceremony in person. At the closing ceremony, the deputy governor promptly invited the guests to meet again next year.
Seeing development opportunities, the Provincial People's Government issued the "Preferential Measures for Encouraging Foreign Investment in Northwest Province" that week, passing regulations to protect investors like Yang Liufang who are devoted to the construction of Northwest China. In order to effectively implement these measures, the Provincial Planning Commission established a foreign investment project office to prepare for county-level institutions and transferred 15 staff to specifically serve them, the pioneers who are determined to devote themselves to the construction of the northwest of the motherland.
This exhibition came to a successful conclusion, and after being widely reported by the news media, the supply and marketing managers of the three northwest provinces who did not participate in the exhibition also called President Li to seek ways to sign contracts as agents. In this way, through the supply and marketing system, Yang Liufang obtained more than 100 contracts from other three provinces and cities. After the trade fair ended, Jiesheng already had a rough idea of the sales results, so he rushed back to Yiwu to start production at full capacity, and expedited the shipment by special train. Yang Liufang arranged for Wang Shan to lead his subordinates to deliver goods to the agency according to the contract, and asked his apprentice Shi Yong to lead the workers to dismantle the temporary site. He, his brother, Yanhua, and Xinye gathered in Li Tongfu's new office to calculate the costs and benefits of the trade fair.
During the entire exhibition, they signed a total of 800 agency contracts, with a total revenue of 16 million yuan, and sent registered mail to the post office to settle the settlement of 20,000 yuan; the Wolongshan Hotel and other hotels in Xizhou where the guests stayed settled a total of 30,000 yuan in guest accommodation expenses; public transportation The company settled the settlement of 10,000 yuan; the venue was decorated by its own workers, and the materials cost more than 6,000 yuan; the canteen was owned by the company, and the total cost of the staff and Uncle Han of Yantan’s food supply was 10,000 yuan; in the early stage of the event, Jiesheng sponsored 50,000 yuan in the name of the manufacturer ; It means that through this exhibition, they only spent more than 26,000 yuan and created a revenue of 16 million yuan. After the accounting was over, Li Tongfu's office was in a state of excitement. Zhang Feng, Qin Jiajun, and Yinhua who heard the shouting also joined in. Yang Liufang was young after all, so he excitedly jumped on his elder brother's desk, danced around in circles, and shouted loudly Announced: "We will fight again next year, with a target revenue of 50 million!"
It took Wang Shan and his two subordinates a whole month to distribute all the goods sold at the fair. The sanitary ware products piled in the fields were sold out. They were just about to take a vacation when several supply and marketing cooperatives that were the first to deliver goods called. Call to request delivery. Fortunately, Jiesheng shipped the goods from Yiwu in a timely manner, otherwise they would have been faced with a situation of having no goods to ship. At this time, all the construction of their warehouse has been completed, and new goods are put into the warehouse directly after arriving, without being disturbed by this autumn's sandstorm.
According to media reports, the managers of several larger hotels in Xizhou, who sensed business opportunities, approached Yang Liufang's factory and requested that the rooms be replaced with Simmons in order to meet the standards and be able to receive guests attending the trade fair next year. Thousands of orders are coming in one after another. Shi Yong and Shi Fang lead the workers in the factory to produce day and night, but they still cannot meet the continuous market demand. The eight workers responsible for tensioning and assembling springs were so tired that their arms were swollen, and painkillers were applied to critical areas. With dark circles under his eyes, Shi Fang went to his master in a daze and asked if he could get into a lathe specializing in tension springs like the one they visited the Simmons factory in Nanjing. This would free up eight tension spring workers and the two of them. Make a bed together. These eight workers have been in the factory for a long time and can independently perform basic carpentry and assembly and blanking of office furniture. Being trapped in the tension spring workshop resulted in a waste of human resources.
Yang Liufang readily agreed and called Li Tongfu from Xizhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative in his new office at the furniture factory. The call was answered by Qin Jiajun, who said that Mr. Li had taken Xinye and Zhang Feng to inspect the Hongtuzhuang Leather Factory project and give them gifts. Steel tiles. Yang Liufang immediately asked Shi Fang to clean up, and he personally drove Shi Fang to the Hongtuzhuang leather factory construction site on his motorcycle.
Since the construction of the furniture factory and warehouse in Shige Village was completed, the wealthy Yang Liufang asked Secretary Shitou to lead his factory construction team to Hongtu Village to build the leather factory building. Everyone is fighting in the wind and sand. A comprehensive factory building in the tannery factory has been completed. The workers are temporarily living in it to expedite the construction of the factory office and canteen. As soon as the motorcycle turned onto Hetan Road, Yang Liufang felt that Shi Fang had fallen asleep on his back. He slowed down and enjoyed the scenery of Zhaomagou while driving.
When he passed by the newly built airport expressway viaduct, he found large construction machinery roaring at work on the bridge and not far away. The Northwest has unknowingly stepped into the fast lane of development like this airport expressway.
After crossing the viaduct and riding for more than ten minutes, he arrived at Hongtu Village. Instead of taking the village road, he walked directly onto an industrial road newly built for the leather factory in the village. The newly opened road did not catch up with the time for tree planting. Now it is bare on both sides. With the vehicles transporting bricks, cement and sand running over it, the road is full of potholes, making it look a bit deserted and dilapidated. Shi Fang, who was sleeping on Yang Liufang's back, was awakened by a bump. After waking up, he found that his saliva was drooling on Yang Liu Fangyi's back. He embarrassedly told his master later. Yang Liufang admired this steady and cautious apprentice very much and tilted his head to tell him that it was okay.
The two of them soon arrived at the entrance of the factory, the roads around the factory and inside. This year, Secretary Shitou led everyone to see the newly planted willow trees that had been attacked by autumn frost and sandstorms. There were still sparse leaves on them, but they looked better than the bare industrial roads. Going up there is much more standardized, neat and lively.
Yang Liufang saw the furniture factory's truck parked in an open space next to the construction site. Secretary Shitou and Zhang Feng were instructing the villagers to unload colored steel tiles. Different from the first time when the factory was built with asbestos tiles being improvised, this time Yang Liufang used the 20 cm thick color steel tiles in the warehouse and workshop of the furniture factory. In Yang Liufang's view, this is simply a magical invention. . The upper and lower layers of iron sheets are strong and durable, and the middle layer of polyaniline board is insulated and insulated. Unlike asbestos tiles, which are not sun-resistant and cannot be stepped on during maintenance, the color steel tile roof will not be dangerous even if a 200-pound fat man goes up to repair it.
As soon as they entered the factory, they saw their elder brother coming out accompanied by accountant Li, with Wang Xinye following behind them. They walked and talked and looked very happy. Seeing Yang Liufang's arrival, Secretary Shitou and Zhang Feng came over to say hello first, and then Brother and Accountant Li also came.
"Brother Shitou, you have worked hard."
"Why bother? Now the villagers are making money and every family has hope. It's not too late for me to be happy."
"Brother, Brother Li, what are you two talking about? You are so happy."
"Accountant Li suggested that the leather factory ask Xinye's sister to go back to Wangqingchuan to recruit some skilled tailors for us. It just so happened that Secretary Wang's mother-in-law's mother-in-law was also from Wangqingchuan, and she was actually Accountant Li's matchmaker. They wanted to discuss going back to recruit people together. "
"Well, it happens that they are easy to manage here. Then ask Accountant Li to take you to visit Secretary Wang as soon as possible and ask her mother-in-law to come out. I heard that she is still the women's director, right? Then just ask the two villagers who are familiar with leather sewing Anyone who makes leather can come in, even strong young men, after all, the transportation and transportation of leather requires people!"
"Okay. Why are you here?"
"Shi Fang reported that the workers in the furniture factory couldn't bear it, so he suggested using a tension spring lathe. I'm not familiar with purchasing equipment. You've seen it a lot, so I brought him to you to report and give you some money to purchase."
"Oh, where is it?"
"We were attending the Simmons exhibition in Nanjing and took a photo when we visited the factory. Shi Fang took it out to show Mr. Li what the lathe looked like." After hearing this, Shi Fang hurriedly took out the photo from his bag and handed it to Li Tongfu.
"Oh, this. I guess this kind of equipment can only be purchased in Guangzhou. It happens that the leather factory needs to purchase equipment. I'm going to take Wang Shan there recently. Shi Fang, can you arrange for someone knowledgeable to join me?"
"The only person who knows what we do here, besides my master, is my senior brother. I definitely don't dare to send my master, and even if I dare to send him, I don't have time. Mr. Li, please ask my senior brother to go with you." Shi Fang Even though he had slept well, his head was still confused at the moment, and his tongue-twisting remarks made everyone laugh.
