Ding Zhipeng and Secretary-General Gan were patrolling the venue proudly, like a big cat was patrolling someone else's forest farm.

The large-scale oil equipment exhibition is a new business for the country, but it is not new in Arab countries. The two of them saw that they were all rushing foreigners, with not too many, but looking at the suits and ties, they knew that they were the ones who spent money.

A 40,000 square meters place, you can see the kowtower machine working one after another, as if it is working on an oil field. Large drilling rigs, high-power generator sets, integrated well recording instruments, wind power installation platforms, etc. You can see it without going into the booth, which has also become the best advertising instructions...

Secretary-General Gan was very satisfied and said, "The exhibitor problem that we are most worried about is solved by someone's help from the royal family. Look at the companies in these countries, such as Brazil, Mexico, France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. I didn't know that Portugal also produces oil machinery before..."

The accompanying staff laughed with kindness, and the boss was in a good mood, which was really good.

Seeing the lively scene of the venue, Secretary-General Gan smiled comfortably and said, "We will be liberated in the last three days. This exhibition looks simple and difficult to hold. What a pity, it would be great if this exhibition was held in our country."

"In a few years, we will move to the country." Ding Zhipeng and Secretary-General Gan walked side by side. He knew why Secretary-General Gan wanted to go to the country. Only when he could a leader come to inspect the exhibition, which shows that the exhibition was excellent and excellent.

Now in the UAE, although the exhibition is held very well, there will be reports sent back to China. But after all, it is a bit dry, so how can I come to the inspection by the guide?

Ding Zhipeng was also quite regretful about this.

"Let's start with Chinese companies. Let's start with a good start." Secretary-General Gan stepped up his calf and headed straight forward.

Ding Zhipeng quickly followed.

It was almost 11 o'clock in the morning, which was the peak of the first wave of sales. From the passing foreign exhibition halls, you can see that many companies have signed contracts, while the majority have two or three contracts.

Any company that successfully signs a contract will hang a copy of the contract on the outside wall. On the one hand, it is to show off, and on the other hand, it is to prove its own strength. From a psychological perspective, anyone has a herd mentality, even professional purchasing personnel are no exception.

After all, the product purchased by someone means that it has at least been proven by predecessors, reducing the difficulty of choosing.

As for those traditional famous brands, they have made more profits in this exhibition. Ding Zhipeng passed the booths of Schlumberger and Baker Hughes and saw 5 orders and 4 orders respectively. In terms of their product prices, this is more than tens of millions.

Secretary General Gan saw it and said a little disheartenedly: "I wonder if the 12 companies in our country can sign so many orders."

Did he say that there was one or more? Ding Zhipeng was too lazy to care about it, so his steps were naturally faster.

If Chinese companies sign too few orders, they will be lost.

Secretary General Gan looked at the sign of Changqing Petroleum Machinery Factory and called an official he knew and asked, "Xiao Qin, have you signed the contract?"

"Secretary General Gan, you are here now." Xiao Qin is actually thirty years old. He laughed twice and said, "We are talking to the customer. If you come here in the afternoon, we might have agreed."

"Can you really agree?" Secretary General Gan was not fooled by just one or two words.

Xiao Qin smiled and said, "Secretary General Gan, we dare not be sure of the matter of orders before signing them. However, as long as we talk and talk, he signed them."

"You Changqing Machinery Factory is just a careless person, but I told me that I could sign an order of 10 million and get the current venue. Don't be too short of them, so that people can mutter behind their backs.

"As long as others can win, we can win." When reporting the numbers, Changqing Machinery Factory must have reported to Gaoli. If he doesn't even dare to report the numbers, it will be a state-owned enterprise. However, no one will be sure of how many orders he can really sign.

Secretary-General Gan didn't pursue the matter, hummed twice, and said, "Do you know who signed the order? Let's go and have a look. I was expecting you to have a good start."

"Secretary General Gan said this, which made me feel guilty." Xiao Qin shouted twice and said again: "I spent the whole morning at the booth and didn't go out. I guess if there is an order, we should be the first."

"When I finish my journey, I'm telling you who will sign the order first." Secretary-General Gan shook his arm and continued to move forward.

Going forward, there are Daqing Petroleum Machinery Factory and Dalian Heavy Industry's booth. Dalian Heavy Industry discussed a drilling pump order and put it outside the booth. However, the complete set of ordinary drilling pumps is only 100,000 US dollars, which neither falls into the eyes of Dalian Heavy Industry nor the eyes of Secretary-General Gan. It can only be said that it is better than nothing.

It is the current environment that allows them to bet on some energy.

In fact, for state-owned enterprises of this scale, the charm of making US dollars lies in their political achievements. Most of these oil machinery factories are supported by their parent companies. In the final analysis, they are still supporting factories, but they are raised unconsciously, just like a child who dropped out of school to herd cattle - how much they can earn, not pointing to it to support their families.

After a while, they no longer have the motivation to struggle. Of course, when it comes to the exhibition, they want to struggle, but without accumulation, and it is useless to say that struggle is useless.

As we walked like this, the four or five state-owned enterprises we saw were all unrealized, and Secretary-General Gan's face became less and less beautiful.

Ding Zhipeng's face was also gloomy, and the foreigners who were passing by were scared to dodge. With their level, they would never expect to see such a high-level Chinese official angry in their entire lives.

Fortunately, the flow of people in front of the booth of Jinshi General Factory is not weak.

Secretary-General Gan sighed and said, "Let's go and see if this old Du can make something new."

When the two arrived at the booth, they saw an order posted, which was a winch with a relatively advantageous advantage in Tianjin Shi General Factory. Although it was only a 100,000-dollar item, it was finally better than the previous ones.

Secretary-General Gan's face cleared a little. Seeing that Du Lijun came out, he asked, "Let's see, you have signed a order, what is the total amount?"

"80,000 US dollars." Du Lijun touched his stomach and smiled: "It is a small company in South America, asking us to ship the goods. I thought of opening it, and I gave it to him 80,000 US dollars. It was our cost price just now."

It seems that he is relaxed, but in fact, he has also tried his best to sell this cost price.

Ding Zhipeng asked casually: "The FOB price of 80,000 US dollars?"

Du Lijun said in a lower voice: "They are a small company and don't know where Tianjin is. He asked to send it to their company. We are going to entrust a logistics company to send the things over."

"Okay, it's also considered you've sold it." Secretary General Gan knew that they were losing money and gaining publicity. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "How many orders do you think you can negotiate?"

"How can this be estimated?" Du Lijun refused.

"Your price always has to make some profits. If you lose money, it's fine." Secretary General Gan sighed, and most of his good mood disappeared.

Du Lijun laughed awkwardly and couldn't help but say, "We didn't lower the price first, Dahua Industrial will lower the price first."

"Oh? What's wrong with them?"

"Their price is not enough." Du Lijun pointed to the booth in front and said, "Caterpillar is the world's largest engine and generator manufacturer. Look at their 200 upgraded diesel generators, which will be sold for $50,000. Do you know how much Dahua Industrial sells? $10,000. It's not like giving it to others for free. I see that all the companies are flocking to Dahua, so I decided to reduce the price."

Secretary-General Gan was curious and funny, saying, "You see, there are many companies in their house, so you lowered the price. Then, you lowered the price, why did you sign a contract?"

"Aren't this still being discussed? Besides, the level of winches we make is similar to that of imported winches. Some key equipment still need to be imported. 80,000 US dollars is the lowest cost."

“How much does a winch of the same type cost?”

"It's $100,000 to $120,000. Foreign manufacturers are very insidious. They add the price to the attachment. If you buy a winch, you must not buy the attachment, right? Once you calculate, the cost will increase. Moreover, the specifications of their attachments are different. If you say anyone is fine, just copy their attachments." Du Lijun was so angry that he was so angry that his $80,000 was brought with him, but it was cheaper than others' bare metal. The situation at Jinshi General Factory is no longer good, and now he has to sell equipment at a loss.

If you calculate the economic calculation, Du Lijun would rather not sell the large winch of 80,000 US dollars. The more you sell, the more you lose, the more you lose. This is the case.

However, he was afraid of being merged, so he could only lose money and gain publicity.

Now, the biggest problem facing Du Lijun is that the high-tech equipment he hopes for is no one cares about. When people talk about Chinese products, they don’t continue to ask. Occasionally, two people come to inquire, but they actually take his quotes to the front booth to find foreign manufacturers to lower the price. Now, the nearby foreign salesmen have no good face to Du Lijun.

As a deputy ministerial-level factory director, Du Lijun, who never asks for help, still wants to scold: What did I do to me?

Secretary-General Gan did not look at Du Lijun's expression, but instead asked with interest: "Dahua Industrial is a private enterprise, do they need to sell equipment at a loss?"

"If you don't lose money, how can he get this price?" Du Lijun snorted with half of his nose and vented his dissatisfaction.

"Go and have a look?" Secretary-General Gan turned to ask Ding Zhipeng.

"Then let's go and have a look." Ding Zhipeng was obviously very interested.

Du Lijun looked back and felt that staying on his booth was also a torture. He made up his mind and said, "I'll accompany you, Secretary-General Gan, you are the person in charge of the exhibition. You have to hold the scale stick firmly. You can't let domestic companies buy foreign companies abroad with the hard-earned money of the people."

Secretary-General Gan was happy, looked at Du Lijun, and then looked at the orders on the wall.

Du Li's orders were aggravated and said, "Even if our orders are not profitable, they will not lose money. They will not be cheaper for foreigners."

"I really want to issue a policy, so I have to check the accounts. Is your Tianjin Shi General Factory OK?" The secretary-general would not have been deceived by him in a few words.

"You can check the accounts, and the production cost of our Jinshi General Factory is very low." After saying this, Du Lijun shrank behind Ding Zhipeng.

Following Secretary-General Gan were all middle and senior officials from four ministries and commissions, and they couldn't catch up with Du Lijun at the same level, so they looked at him and smiled.

A group of people walked forward in big strides.

Such a large exhibition area is time-consuming to walk. Secretary-General Gan is a short-legged person. He passed by slowly. It was time to eat, and he only smelled the fragrance of the rice.

At this time, Du Lijun suddenly felt guilty and felt that he should send someone to the booth of Dahua Industrial to ask. So he whispered: "Secretary-General, it's time for dinner. Should we eat something first and then go there?"

"When he goes to the booth in Sucheng, can he eat in one bite of you?"

"Don't we want to trouble him?" Du Lijun found a reason for himself.

Two minutes later, Du Lijun knew where his guilt came from.

The booth of Dahua Industrial is not only lively, it is simply bustling. If 100 people are placed at a 1,000 square meters, it will definitely feel empty. If 300 people are placed around, it will feel crowded. If 100 people are sitting and 300 people are crowded around, it will be blocked.

From the direction they came, we can see that a Chinese staff member wearing a white experimental suit had to deal with two to three foreign manufacturers, and the number of them was almost 5 people.

On the floor near the seating area of ​​the booth, you can also see traces of lunch boxes. Most of them are piled up intact there, obviously without time to eat.

Du Lijun first felt it was impossible. He set up a booth himself, but it was amazing that more than 50 staff members were dealing with 20 customers at the same time. In one group, they not only had translators, but also engineers and sales staff. Three people were on one person, and sometimes they had to make mistakes, so the manager had to come forward.

That's it. It was not until the factory manager came forward and made a big reduction in free use that he negotiated a winch of $80,000. Du Lijun felt that his group of people had lost their annual salary.

But looking at the booth of Dahua Industrial, a person wearing white experimental clothes, whether they are engineers or sales staff, can deal with several customers at the same time... Du Lijun cursed the foreigner in his heart: You are so cheap, we serve you alone, and you refuse to come. Now, you are running over and making money around them alone. Are they covered in honey?

Secretary-General Gan was in a good mood, waved his hand and said, "Let's go and see how many orders they have signed."

The main entrance of Dahua Industrial’s booth is facing the main entrance of the exhibition area. In this way, customers who have just come in will immediately see their signing status and can also watch and display them from scratch.

Secretary-General Gan and his team came from behind, so they went around a long circle and went to the front to see.

Along the way, I heard foreigners shouting in the open booth: “good, good, verrygood.

Du Lijun cursed again in his heart, and was a little scared, and said in his mind: "This Sucheng, not to eat the Jinshi General Factory, just sell the equipment. His oil field has been put into production, and there is no shortage of money. It's okay to do this. Can I lose money too?"

At this time, Du Lijun particularly hated his status as a state-owned enterprise. Even if he wanted to lose money, he wouldn't be able to pay it by saying he could.

Secretary-General Gan ran very fast. When he arrived directly in front of the booth, he saw him step back, two steps back, three steps back, and then walked straight ahead and looked at something carefully.

Du Lijun thought about it and fell behind, but when he looked at the similar posture of a group of people, he suddenly felt ominous.

"This Sucheng, especially if it is going to be released," Du Lijun, who has been in the movement era, is really afraid of satellites.

He paused for a few steps, then accelerated again, and closed his eyes and arrived directly in front of the booth.

Open your eyes again.
