Chapter 646 We deserve this honor
Tonight's welcome banquet was attended by more than 30 companies who went to Munich to participate in the exhibition, including representatives of the exhibition group who had just returned from Munich, and leaders of various companies who came from other places to greet the representatives of the unit. With more units, seating orders became a very troublesome thing. Everyone who sat on the head and who sat on the head must be accurately measured. It would be easier if these units came from the same system, because there were some conventional order relationships in the system, but now these units belong to different systems, and there are both state-owned enterprises and private enterprises. It is basically impossible to rank a seat that everyone is satisfied with.
As the person in charge of the group exhibition, it is natural for Feng Xiaochen to sit on the main table, but letting him sit on the main table with him is also a headache for him. Luo Ye and Lin Chong are all large enterprises under their jurisdiction, and their leaders are of high level, so they are naturally qualified to sit on the main table. But in this way, the leaders of those small businesses seem to be neglected, and everyone will think that Feng Xiaochen looks down on him, which is not a good result for Feng Xiaochen.
Helplessly, Feng Xiaochen told Chen Shuhan privately, put the table in a circle, and then used the method of drawing lots to determine the seats, so that no one could say anything. Anyway, once the banquet began, Feng Xiaochen would definitely toast each table, and chat with everyone for a few words, and then treat everyone equally.
The leaders of the business present are all talented, so how can we not see the meaning of Feng Xiaochen's arrangement? In fact, they have been struggling to rank the seats just now and are competing to sit on the head. They seem too arrogant, especially the leaders of some small and medium-sized enterprises, who also know that they do not have the qualifications. But if we sit on the head willingly, we feel unhappy. Now there are so many companies, why should we sit on the head?
Now that Feng Xiaochen makes such arrangements, everyone has no worries. Anyway, the seats arranged by drawing lots cannot be said to be the best or the seats are worse. Without the fight between seats, everyone will not have conflicts with each other and can play happily.
Seeing that everyone agreed to the way to draw lots, Chen Shuhan made a move, and two waiters came over with a tray. There were some playing cards on the pallet. These were all selected in advance, leaving only 1 to 8 points. The personnel of each company came over and reached out to draw cards. Some were casual and touched one directly from the top, while others were more particular. They had to pretend to look at it for a while before drawing one from the middle. Some didn't know what was wrong with them, and they had to pick up the cards and wash them again and draw them again. The skillful method of shuffling cards was obvious. At first glance, they were the kind of old guy who studied "Document No. 54" in the unit all day long.
After the lot was drawn, the waiter guided everyone to sit separately. Because the table was a round table, it didn't matter to go up and down, so the process of everyone's seat was not troublesome. Feng Xiaochen drew table No. 6. As soon as he sat down, two business leaders who also drew table No. 6 sat down next to him, with a smug smile on their faces, showing off to other tablemates who were late: "Haha, you are late, and we have taken the position around Mr. Feng."
"Old Ding, you are shameless. It is inconvenient to bully me. I will first snatch the position beside Mr. Feng!" A late-comer scolded unanimously.
The first person came and said, "Who made your legs and feet inconvenient? When you were young, you broke the wall and fell to your feet. Can you blame me?"
"You fart, I was injured in order to rescue collective property when I was in line. My deeds were also on Lingbei Daily!" The company leader with inconvenient legs and feet stated angrily.
"That's because you lack exercise. I have rescued collective property, so why aren't you injured?"
"Are you stealing collective sweet potatoes?"
"You haven't stolen it!"
"Uh..." Feng Xiaochen was speechless. What happened to him. He smiled and waved his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone, please come to the table quickly. Director Ding and Director Gao, this time at the Munich exhibition, the products of both of your factories are very popular. You both have to drink a few more drinks later to celebrate the exhibition staff of your factory."
"Yes, yes, we must have a few more drinks, but celebrating the exhibitors in our factory is second, and the most important thing is to express our gratitude to Mr. Feng."
The factory manager named Ding was very kind, and immediately changed his face and said to Feng Xiaochen with a smile. He is the director of a medium-sized machinery factory in Xinyang Province. The factory produces a small lifting machinery. He signed orders for thousands of units at this exhibition, with a total transaction volume of more than 900,000 US dollars, equivalent to nearly 8 million yuan. This is a very rare factory like theirs. Especially this is export business, which can achieve foreign exchange earnings, and its political significance is greater than economic significance. The factory manager named Ding is naturally grateful to Feng Xiaochen who organized them to participate in the exhibition.
The factory director surnamed Gao also sat down next to the factory director surnamed Ding, and was only one seat away from Feng Xiaochen, which was relatively close. He smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, I was thinking about it. You must sit with Director Xin of Luo Ye, Director Shen of Lin Chong, and others. A small business like us is not qualified to sit at the same table with Mr. Feng. As a result, haha, God has eyes, and I actually pulled the seat of Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng. When I go back to Lingbei in the future, I will have to brag about it."
"Director Gao, are you saying this too exaggerated?" Feng Xiaochen sweated violently, "You are an old senior in the system. I am a junior. It is my honor to be able to sit at the same table with you."
"Look, look, or people say that Mr. Feng is humble, so young and promising, and so humble, this is really valuable! Xiao Hu, you young people, learn more from Mr. Feng!" Director Gao sighed uncontrollably, and also carried a young man from his unit on the table and whispered a few words.
Feng Xiaochen could only smile bitterly. He is a number of young cadres in China, and he has various praises and compliments everywhere. But if we put it in the past, corporate leaders like Director Ding and Director Gao, who are much older than him, just flatter him by a word or two, would not seem so exaggerated. But this time it was different. He urged all companies to send people to Munich for the exhibition, and asked Chenyu Information Company to help these companies advance funds. As a result, all companies gained a lot at the exhibition. How could each company not worship him?
There have been rumors in the circle that Feng Xiaochen is full of wisdom and will definitely not suffer any losses when he does things, but most corporate leaders are only half-believing and half-doing about this rumor. This time, everyone has seen actual results. Some companies have never had the experience of exporting foreign exchange earnings. This time, it has broken the record, and everyone has firmly believed in the previous rumor.
After everyone sat down, Chen Shuhan walked to Feng Xiaochen's table with a wireless microphone. She looked at Feng Xiaochen with a smile and said, "Xiaochen, everyone recommended me as the host of the banquet, so I reluctantly became it. This banquet is a banquet for your Munich exhibition group and a banquet for you to celebrate. You are the leader of the exhibition group, and everyone hopes that you will say a few words to everyone first."
Feng Xiaochen also knew that this was a necessary procedure, so he was not embarrassed. He stood up, took the microphone handed over by Chen Shuhan, left the seat, walked into the hall, and said to everyone:
"Dear colleagues, good evening everyone! First of all, please allow me to express my sincere thanks to Ms. Chen Shuhan, Chairman of Chuntian Restaurant, and Sister Chen, who once took care of me like a real sister. Thank you for providing us with such a luxurious and comfortable place, so that we can all gather together to celebrate the fruitful achievements we have achieved at the Munich Exhibition."
Everyone looked at Chen Shuhan standing beside him and applauded enthusiastically. Most people didn't know who Chen Shuhan was, but everyone naturally had to show respect for those who could make Feng Xiaochen call "Sister Chen". Chen Shuhan didn't expect that Feng Xiaochen would mention her in the first sentence. She was a little panicked and felt a little warm. Seeing everyone applauding her, she quickly clapped her hands while smiling gratefully to everyone.
Feng Xiaochen let the applause ring for a few seconds, and then continued:
"Secondly, on behalf of everyone, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Bao Chengming, chairman of Chenyu Information Company, who paid the funds for the exhibition in Germany. If it weren't for Mr. Bao's timely assistance and provided everyone with funds for going abroad, many of our companies would probably find it difficult to raise enough funds to participate in the exhibition, so naturally there would be no achievements made at the exhibition.
When I went to report to the leaders of the Economic and Trade Commission today, the leaders of the Economic and Trade Commission specifically pointed out that Bao Zhong is an excellent entrepreneur who can be anxious about what the country is anxious about and what the country wants. The leaders of the Economic and Trade Commission also stated that in a few days, the Economic and Trade Commission will hold a small commendation meeting to commend enterprises that have achieved outstanding results at the exhibition. The leaders will personally present the award to President Bao at the commendation meeting."
The applause rang again, this time a little more than before. Everyone looked at Bao Chengming with a little envy and jealousy. The leaders of the Economic and Trade Commission personally mentioned their names and expressed their desire to present him with awards. What a glory. However, everyone thinks that Bao Chengming deserves this honor, and not everyone has the courage to pay the participation funds before the exhibition. According to the agreement signed by Bao Chengming and various companies, if each company sells poorly at the exhibition, Bao Chengming will not get a commission, which means that millions of dollars will be spent. Of course, the final result proves that Bao Chengming won the bet, and the Chinese exhibition group was a great success. Bao Chengming can be said to have both fame and fortune.
"Finally, on behalf of the National Equipment Industry Company, please allow me to express my sincere respect to the leaders and colleagues of the companies actively participating in the Munich Engineering Machinery Exhibition. It is your outstanding work that has enabled our country to have such outstanding products, which can defeat the heroes at the Munich Exhibition, achieve sales of US$200 million, and make Chinese manufacturing go global. This is a supreme glory, and this glory is owned by all of us, and we deserve it!"
"Wow!"
