Chapter 317 ?? The opening of the exhibition
The booth fee for the Agricultural Info Expo is not low, and the more expensive the location is, Xiang Likui guesses the rent of the booth of Wendong County Chemical Factory; and if you participate in the exhibition, it is not enough to have a booth alone, you have to advertise. This is another amount of money. Obviously, this is not something that a county chemical factory can afford.
Ran Jiang could hear that Xiang Likui was not sarcastic, but was simply curious, so he stepped forward and handed a cigarette, "There is no way. The competition is so fierce now. If you don't come to participate in the exhibition, how can you open up sales?"
"Thank you." Xiang Likui took the cigarette and nodded, "That's true. By the way, what kind of product is produced by your factory? Could it be fertilizer?"
"It's indeed a fertilizer, but it's different from what you sell. The conventional fertilizers such as urea, nitrogen fertilizer, and the ones you sell are mainly for crops. We sell fertilizers for mushrooms and tea." This is the first time Ran Jiang has participated in the Agricultural Info Expo, so he also wants to take this opportunity to cover up news, "Master is your surname? It seems that this is not the first time he has participated in the Agricultural Expo, right?"
"Your surname is Xiang, Xiang Likui, deputy director of the third department of the sales department of Tiannan Fertilizer Factory! Are you your surname?" Xiang Likui said with his chest straight.
Tiannan Fertilizer Factory is a deputy department-level enterprise. The deputy section chief of his sales department is a real stock-level cadre. Moreover, since Tiannan Fertilizer Factory almost monopolizes the supply of fertilizers in the province, he, as a deputy section chief, has more money and great power. When he goes to counties and cities below, he often has more signs than section-level cadres, so Xiang Likui has always been proud of his identity and position.
"Hello, Section Chief Xiang, I am Ran Jiang, the director of the chemical factory in Wendong County. You are an old senior in our fertilizer industry. I want to learn more from you!" Tsk tsk, there are so many departments and so many departments alone. The scale of the chemical factory in Tiannan Province is really big.
From this detail, we can see that there is absolutely no way out for the Wendong County Chemical Factory to develop conventional fertilizers. What are you going to compete with such a large factory? It is estimated that in the past few years, the small fertilizer factory that has been squeezed out by the Tiannan Provincial Fertilizer Factory will definitely exceed the double digits, and maybe there are three digits.
"Are you the factory director? Even if it is a county-owned chemical factory, it is at least a stock-level unit? How old are you this year?" Xiang Likui was shocked. I was in my thirties and almost forty years before I got to the stock-level level. This person is only in his early twenties, right? Has he caught up with his half-life of hard work?
"It's indeed a stock-level unit. I'm 24 years old this year and I've graduated from Tiannan University for more than two years! Our factory was beaten up by your factory before, and no one was willing to be the director of this factory, so I drove the duck to the shelves." Ran Jiang explained with a smile.
"Haha, the small fertilizer plants inside and outside the province have not had a good life in the past two years. They either transform in time or they have to go bankrupt!" These words made Xiang Likui much happier.
"College students, no wonder, the college students in our factory are also promoted quickly!" When she said this, Xiang Likui's mood became more complicated, just like when the workers in Jinzhou Factory saw Song Yunhui, Yu Shanqing and others climbing up quickly.
"Okay, I have to go and have time to chat." Xiang Likui didn't want to chat anymore, waved his hand and went back to his booth, and began to shout and direct his subordinates to work hard.
Ran Jiang is the same. He set up a booth with Wang Fuquan and others and hung various advertising exhibition racks. The advertising style is still the same as in the agricultural supplies market. It is simple, direct and down-to-earth. It is necessary to let those channel merchants and wholesalers know what their products are for at a glance.
"Manager, the two things you prepared are ready. Should you transport them in now?" Wang Fuquan came over and asked.
"It's not busy, this thing is simple to make. If we light it too early, some companies will definitely follow it and learn it immediately, so it's still kept it confidential for the time being and then take it out when the exhibition begins! In this way, even if they have this idea, there is no time to do it!" Ran Jiang said with a smile.
After a few days of busy work, the exhibition was finally about to begin. Ran Jiang and the others built the booth and transported some samples for customers to identify. At the same time, they also rented several cars and parked them nearby, with their own advertisements on the body.
Professor Ju also brought his students here. There was also a billboard in front of the booth with large photos of him printed on it, and a long list of shining titles, authoritative transfers from the domestic tea industry, professor of the Agricultural College of Tiannan University, executive director of the XX Association, executive director of the XX Society, etc.
Showing these things is to increase the persuasiveness of your own products. Otherwise, if you, a company you have never heard of, come to launch new products, even if you are moved, you will not dare to buy them easily, right?
This is not a fast-moving consumer goods, and it is also an important material that concerns the user's financial prospects. Once there is a problem with fertilizer, it will affect the harvest for a whole year or even several years. Whether it is a channel dealer, wholesaler or actual users, they are very cautious when making choices.
"Professor Ju, I'm really troubled you this time. Let's sit inside first. Fuquan, Professor Ju is here, help pour tea!" Ran Jiang quickly welcomed them in.
"No trouble, we are engaged in agricultural research. The one who doesn't want our own products to bring benefits to the people? This fertilizer is indeed a good thing, and it should be used by tea farmers early!" Professor Ju naturally knew what Ran Jiang asked him to come over, and he was willing to accept it.
Considering Professor Ju's interests, if this fertilizer sells well, it can enhance his status in the domestic tea industry. There will be more companies and institutions to send him research funds. This is a good thing to gain both fame and fortune, so naturally I will not refuse Ran Jiang's invitation.
The loudspeakers in the venue interrupted their conversation, and representatives from various units flocked to the rostrum. The leaders of the sponsors and co-organizers of the Provincial Government, the Department of Agriculture, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the TV station and other organizations were all here.
A provincial leader in charge of agriculture delivered a speech, announcing that the current agricultural supplies fair had officially begun, and then representatives of the exhibitors made speeches one after another.
The opening ceremony lasted for half an hour before it ended, and then customers from all over the province flocked to the venue.
At the beginning, they all went straight to their old partners with a purpose, wanting to see if they launched any new products and whether they had special preferential policies for the exhibition.
Therefore, old-fashioned large enterprises like Tiannan Fertilizer Factory were quickly crowded in front of the booth, while there was not even a person watching the fun at Wendong County Chemical Factory.
"Manager!" Wang Fuquan was a little panicked. After spending so much effort, he would not have gained nothing, right?
"Don't worry, let them bring their things here!" Ran Jiang calmly gave the order.
Chapter completed!
