Chapter 699 Bao Anjun's Diligence
Abuja International Convention Center is one of the largest and most magnificent buildings in Nigeria.
Here, many international conferences have been held, and it is a large comprehensive conference center that Nigeria, the largest populous country in Africa, has always been proud of.
Today, professionals from engineering machinery and mining machinery from many countries around the world gather here and integrate into this "West Africa International Engineering Machinery and Mining Machinery Exhibition".
In addition, African regions, especially those developing construction projects and mining development companies, leaders and businessmen from mining development companies have also come here to participate in such an industrial event.
The purpose is naturally to introduce suitable machinery and equipment to enrich your company.
Standing on the lonely booth with only two equipment, Zhang Yufang's face was covered with a layer of blush when she looked at the dazzling array of engineering machinery and mining machinery equipment around her.
Looking at Zhao Guoyang sitting around, looking around, she couldn't help but say, "Researcher Zhao, the opening ceremony is about to begin. Are we really fighting with others with two products? This... there is almost no chance of winning!"
When Zhao Guoyang heard this, he sneered slightly, "What, Teacher Zhang has any better way? We only have these two equipments, so we can't ask other companies to borrow two machines, right?"
Zhang Yufang also knew that what Zhao Guoyang said made sense, so she sighed and said, "Hey, if the organizer of the exhibition agreed to let us put the motorcycle on, we can hold on for some time!"
Indeed, among the products like Zhao Guoyang airlifted, the number of motorcycles is the largest.
Although some of them have been sold in Sudan, he still left five or six vehicles as samples to keep them to prevent them from being able to take out the goods themselves during subsequent visits from several countries.
In Zhang Yufang's opinion, if he could put a few motorcycles on the booth of the "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" here, at least it would not be so shabby.
Seeing the depressed look of Teacher Zhang, Zhao Guoyang smiled and comforted, "It's okay, Teacher Zhang. Later, if you feel embarrassed, let me shout."
"No, Mr. Zhao, I didn't mean that!"
After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Zhang Yufang waved her hand repeatedly.
She was about to speak and explain something, but Zhao Guoyang's eyes had turned to the podium in the booth center.
"Well, let's not talk about this for now. It seems that the opening ceremony is about to begin. Let's see what our Director Bao Anjun will say later!"
Because of the sudden arrival of the China trade and investment promotion group, after hearing that Bao Anjun, Zhao Guoyang and his group were interested in this "exhibition", Nigeria's Minister of Commerce Adriel made a temporary decision to ask Director Bao to show his face at the exhibition and give a speech.
In fact, in terms of level, the China-Africa Trade and Investment Promotion Group can only be considered as the main department level at most, far from the point where it requires the personal care of the Minister of Commerce of Nigeria.
However, because of the friendly relations between China and African brothers, the guests from China and countries in Africa attach the most importance to them.
Especially in the team led by Leader Bao Anjun this time, there are more than a dozen corporate bosses and company executives from various business fields in China.
In this case, Minister Adriel is of course going to look at him differently.
Just as Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang were communicating in a low voice, Nigeria's Minister of Commerce Adriel was already in his seat on the podium in the center of the venue.
After the emcee introduced the show, the boss enthusiastically delivered an opening speech to the exhibition.
Minister Adriail's speech didn't last long, only seven or eight minutes.
He spoke welcoming words in a relatively smooth French. Finally, he waved his hand and pointed to Bao Anjun who was standing not far behind him and said, "Everyone, it is a great honor that when our exhibition was held this time, an important trade and investment promotion group in China also came to our Abuja!"
"Huaxia and our Nigeria have already had friendly relations with many African countries, and everyone can see it. Next, I would like to ask Mr. Bao Anjun, the head of the Trade and Investment Promotion Group, to tell us a few words!"
After Adriail's introduction, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
It can be seen that the African brothers are still full of expectations for the arrival of China, a trade and investment promotion group.
After taking the stage, Bao Anjun politely said: "As we all know, Nigeria is an important market in Africa and a developing country with fast economic growth and rapid development in the world. The economic growth rate in the past three years has been around 10%.
"As Africa's second largest economic entity and second only to South Africa's second largest consumer country, Nigeria has extremely broad development prospects and is also one of the partners that China attaches great importance to in the African region."
"Nigeria is rich in mineral resources and contains natural gas, oil, gold, antimony, iron ore, limestone, zinc ore, lead ore, etc. It is an important resource export country in the world."
"However, although Nigeria has abundant mineral resources, due to the lack of relevant development equipment, the development of underground minerals is still very limited, and the demand for mining equipment is very high." Speaking of this, Bao Anjun changed the subject.
"In order to help Nigeria better develop mining resources, this time, the 'Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company' in our trade and investment promotion group in China has brought two very advanced and superior engineering machinery and equipment in our country!"
"Hopefully, these two devices can help Nigeria, a vibrant emerging industrial country, along with other exhibits at the exhibition!"
After Bao Anjun's speech was finished, there was naturally a burst of polite applause from the audience.
Among them, the applause from Zhao Guoyang and Zhang Yufang was the most enthusiastic.
Last night, after learning that Director Bao would have a few minutes of speech at the exhibition today, Zhao Guoyang suddenly felt energetic.
Among the large number of mechanical equipment transported to Africa by our "Xingtai International" this time, Zhao Guoyang valued the most the two products exhibited today.
There is no need to say more about the "Mine Lift SMS-gkt-md Series". This is a mid-range series of products that Zhao Guoyang is very sure to be able to enter the same international product.
Although compared with similar products from world-renowned companies such as "Jessebo" and "Caterpillar", this mine hoist still has insufficient workmanship and unstable lifting force.
However, with the improvement of technical improvements in some aspects such as electronic control, there is absolutely no problem in killing second-tier brands in seconds.
Moreover, in the African continent, because of the general backward economy, many miners and mining resource companies rarely buy expensive first-tier brands in the procurement of mine hoists. Brands like "Jessebo" and "Caterpillar" cannot be sold in the African market.
Even second-tier brands such as Germanic Hausko-Gergers, South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industry, and France's Faya Group have not had a particularly high share in the African market.
In this case, Zhao Guoyang brought his "SMS" mine hoist to Africa, just to seize this big piece of cake while the competition was not yet fierce.
In terms of quality, Zhao Guoyang has nothing to worry about; in terms of cost performance, Zhao Guoyang has absolute confidence in his own products.
In this way, there is only one problem left, that is, how to do a good job in marketing.
Taking down a booth at the exhibition is one aspect; on the other hand, if Director Bao’s speech at the opening ceremony of the exhibition can be used well, it will undoubtedly play a role in adding icing on the cake.
After thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang brought up the request with Director Bao last night, asking the leader to help him mention the product matters tomorrow when he delivered a speech.
Bao Anjun also made a clear statement to agree to Zhao Guoyang's request.
Originally, Zhao Guoyang thought that Director Bao would only mention the manufacturer of mining equipment and engineering machinery equipment in his China Trade and Investment Promotion Group today.
Who knew that this leader spent so much time advertising these two products of his own, and even pointed out the name of "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company".
Zhao Guoyang was of course very grateful for Director Bao's face, but Zhang Yufang was even more excited when he was not sure about it.
Yesterday when Zhao Guoyang went to find Bao Anjun, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, so Zhang Yufang naturally could not follow him, so Zhang Yufang didn't know the situation of the two talking later.
After hearing Director Bao's great praise for his "Xingtai International", Zhang Yufang's joy on her face could not be concealed.
"Mr. Zhao, you had been bothering Director Bao for a long time yesterday, right? Otherwise, how could he be so hard for us to recommend "Xingtai International"?"
Zhang Yufang couldn't help but feel excited and said.
Zhao Guoyang shrugged without comment and said, "No, Director Bao and I chatted for about ten minutes yesterday. The reason why he helped this is probably because our 'sms-gkt-md series' was listed as a key product by the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, right?"
"Well, that's true!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yufang nodded gently and said, "No matter what, this matter is all your credit for Mr. Zhao. Isn't it because of your face in the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry?"
Zhao Guoyang was not very modest, but just said to Zhang Yufang: "Did you see, Teacher Zhang, the emcee has announced that the exhibition has officially begun."
"Let's just sing this show!"
At this moment, Zhang Yufang's previous uneasiness disappeared.
Chapter completed!
