Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 39 Huaxia's handicraft products are world famous
9 month 15 day.

Haicheng International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Zhong Cheng and others stayed at the booth of Red Star Company, bored.

After the grand opening ceremony in the morning, until after 6 pm, few people came to see the machine tools of Red Star Company.

The door is deserted!

Their booth was at the corner of the exhibition center hall, and they were accompanied by several domestic machine tool factories, and their business was also bleak.

Compared with the sea of ​​people in the middle of the hall, it was like a paradise. Occasionally, someone came over and turned around and left when they saw that it was a domestic machine tool.

The leaders of the exhibiting group have already taken people to distribute leaflets, and the technicians like Zhong Cheng are sticking to their posts.

This situation is completely different from the expected popularity, Zhong Cheng is very disappointed, how could this happen?
After the exhibitors returned to the office in the evening, Mr. Wan held another plenary meeting.

The atmosphere at the meeting was dull, and everyone was downcast.

When the staff of the marketing department reported, they complained that the booth was too bad, the organizer did not support it, and the leaflets sent out were thrown into the trash can when the guests turned around and so on.

Anyway, one order was not signed in one day.

Mr. Wan was quite open-minded. He comforted everyone by saying, there are still two days left, don't worry, as long as you get an order, you are a victory!
He had visited several machine fairs before, and the situation was always like this.

Who made domestic machine tools have a bad reputation, the technology is backward and only the price is cheap.

Director Yang of the Purchasing Department came up with an idea to let everyone not focus on European, American and domestic customers, but to target small countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. These countries are poor and should pay more attention to prices.

Manager Li retorted that the technical support and follow-up services in these small countries are very troublesome, and Red Star Company is not yet prepared for this. Even if it is sold, it is useless.

In the end, the meeting broke up unhappy, and everyone felt a stone in their hearts.

Could it be that he came here while he was happy and returned when he was disappointed?

How to explain to the company and employees after returning home?

The second day of the exhibition.

It was past 2pm and things weren't getting any better.

Someone from the marketing department brought back several customers, but the price and after-sales conditions they proposed were simply unacceptable.

Moreover, Zhong Cheng could see that these people were laymen, and he explained the performance of the machine tool to them like playing the piano to the cow.

Manager Li was reasonable, he told Zhong Cheng not to stay like this all the time, and he could go and see machine tool products from other countries to increase his knowledge.

Zhong Cheng also felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he went to see the machine tool products of those industrial powers to experience it.

Could it be that during this period of time, Deman, Meili, and Dongyang have made major breakthroughs in machine tool technology?Is my Nuwa and Shenshi machine tools outdated?

He is a little unconfident!
Walk towards the center of the exhibition hall where the crowds are the most dense. Over there are the booths of Deman, Miri, and Dongyang Machine Tool.

The booths of these three countries occupy the best positions in the exhibition hall, right from the gate.

Contrary to the fact that there are more staff than visitors at the booths of domestic machine tool manufacturers, the central exhibition area is crowded with people and the staff are too busy.

Zhong Cheng squeezed in front of the machine tool, and no one paid any attention to him at all, just in time for him to carefully observe the structure and performance of the machine tool.

Deman's Higgs Company, American Hawker Company and Dongyang Country's Fengtian Company are undoubtedly the stars of this exhibition.

The booths of these three world-renowned machine tool manufacturing companies were crowded with people, and people who consulted and inquired were overwhelmed. They all displayed the most advanced five-axis linkage CNC machine tools and a series of special machine tools.

From the introductions of the commentators of these three companies and his own observations, Zhong Cheng found that the machine tools of these three companies are not more advanced than those of Red Star in terms of performance, and they are even farther apart in terms of five-axis linkage machine tools.

He was greatly relieved.

It seems that the old adage "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley" does not apply to today's market economy.

How to open this situation, Zhong Cheng decided to come up with a strange move.

Because he discovered that the reporters from Haicheng TV Station, under the leadership of the organizer, were interviewing the exhibitors of the three companies and were planning to broadcast a special interview on TV tonight.

Today is already the second day of the exhibition, if you don't fight hard, this time it will be in vain.

He squeezed into the crowd and came to the interview site.

At this time, a beautiful reporter was asking questions to the person in charge of the Higgs Company.

"Mr. Hans, may I ask why your company's machine tools are expensive and still in short supply?"

A middle-aged Deman man with a lean figure replied in blunt Chinese: "Our Deman people are world-renowned for their rigorous technology and quality. Our machine tools are the best machine tools in the world. A higher price is a guarantee of quality. I don't think our customers would weigh that."

He then added: "I have great respect for the Chinese people. You have a long civilization, and your handicraft products are also world-renowned."

"Thank you Mr. Hans for your praise!" The beautiful reporter was extremely excited.

Zhong Cheng was angry, is this a compliment? It's obviously a slap in the face!

Your brilliance is just in the past, and now you are no good, can't the beautiful reporter hear this?Can't the organizers and Chinese people present hear it?
Maybe they're just numb.

"The best machine tool, I don't think it may be!"

Zhong Cheng walked into the interview camera and announced loudly, "Huaxia already has the world's most advanced industrial mother machine!"

"Wow!"

There was a commotion at the scene, and everyone looked at Zhong Cheng as if he was watching a psychopath. The person in charge of the organizer was already contacting the security guard.

It was still the beautiful reporter who was hosting the interview. She calmed down Zhong Cheng with witty words.

"Sir, you said that Huaxia has the most advanced machine tools, can you tell us which company made them?"

When the opportunity came, Zhong Cheng quickly replied: "The Nuwa and Shenshi series machine tools of Hongxing Machine Tool Manufacturing Co., Ltd. have completely led the world in terms of processing accuracy, processing speed, stability, and reliability. If you don't believe it, you can go to Visit booth 184."

Zhong Cheng mentioned the Red Star Company, which immediately attracted the attention of Hans from Deman. Even the people from the American Hawker Company and Dongyangguo Fengtian Company who were at the adjacent booths also came over, including Zhong Cheng's "Acquaintance" Kojima of Fengtian Company.

All three of them participated in the machine tool bidding of Hongxing Company last year, but all failed in the bidding inexplicably in the end.

They thought it was a black-box operation of Red Star Company, and they had been brooding about it.

Hans smiled politely on the surface, and said: "This gentleman has your surname. Is he from the Red Star Company? We are all industrial people. No matter how nice we say it, it is useless."

"My surname is Zhong, and I am a technician from Red Star Company. What do you think should I do?" Zhong Cheng was afraid that things might not be a big deal right now.

The person in charge of Hawker said loudly: "What else can we do? According to industry rules, everyone processes a workpiece on site, and you can know it by comparing it. Mr. Zhong, our Hawker company also hopes to compare with your machine tools. one time."

This guy is obviously Xiang Zhuang's sword dancer, and his intention is Peigong. He has long been dissatisfied with the Deman people's opinion that they think the world's number one machine tool.

After exchanging opinions with Kojima, the person in charge of Fengtian Company also expressed his willingness to participate in this "friendship" competition.

Xiao Dao looked at Zhong Cheng with a sneer, and this time he must be ashamed and thrown home.

Hans' face darkened, and he said with a sneer: "Mr. Robin, Mr. Koizumi, since you are so interested, let's go together."

The Chinese people and guests from all over the world were excited. They didn't expect such excitement to watch. This is a rare event in the machine tool manufacturing industry over the years.

Although these three world's top machine tool manufacturing companies have been competing secretly, they have not overwhelmed each other with full confidence, and have not competed in the open.

This time, using the excuse of suppressing Huaxia people's machine tools, it happened to be an excuse.

Everyone is guessing, who will be the winner today?

But no one has considered Red Star Company.
