Chapter 475 Preparation before the meeting
Starting from the lathes in the machinery factory, to the tractors in the tractor factory, the vinegar in the vinegar factory, the fans in the fan factory, the clothes in the clothing factory, the four-piece suits...
After getting familiar with all the information, the next step was to go and see the booths. When I entered the entrance, I saw rows of booths divided by cities. It was like a big market.
Jiangcheng's booth was in a large grid at the inside, which was the best location and was packed.
Because the exchange meeting has not officially started yet, there are no foreigners here yet.
Gu Lixia first trained these people in spoken English.
“Polite expressions for greeting foreigners: Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening: Good morning/afternoon/evening. Hello/Hi: Hello. It's nice to meet you: Nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you: Nice to meet you. Welcoming: Welcome. Good to see you again: Nice to see you again.”
"I'm from Jiangcheng. Our products sell well because of their quality, not their price. Our products are now traded worldwide."
“We have been approached by a number of panies that are interested in our product.”
"Our products are highly competitive in terms of product quality, reliability and above all variety."
"In production, we demand not only quantity but also quality."
“Now let me show you around our product exhibition room.”
This is all Gu Lixia can teach temporarily. When the time comes, each city will be assigned a teacher from a foreign language school.
"Remember, this is an opportunity to earn foreign exchange, and it's related to whether Jiangcheng can have a place to eat in the future, whether we can achieve victory, and whether we can continue to develop rapidly."
"Anyone who is too timid to speak up should buy a ticket and go back now. One more or one less won't make a difference. In the past few decades, we..."
"Our ancestors taught us to be open in business, have a long-term vision, value integrity, and be strict in management. I don't need to explain what this means. Who hasn't heard the old people bragging as a child?"
"I just wrote it down and marked the Chinese characters under the words. It doesn't matter if it's not standard, as long as we can communicate. Also, if you see a potential client, be sure to call me and the teacher who will be coming tomorrow."
After visiting her own booth, Gu Lixia strolled to the booths of other cities, with Lin Duofu following her.
Gu Lixia plans to buy a set of papermaking equipment to make toilet paper.
After a stroll, Gu Lixia took a fancy to the cars being sold. There was a car factory in Youcheng and another in Mocheng, with an average price of 5 yuan, but he had no money.
As for the rest, Gu Lixia always felt that she could produce them at home.
The idea has always been there, but now we don’t have the money and the ability to open more factories.
What's more, a lot of technologies can be searched in the system, but no matter how many technologies there are, they cannot appear out of thin air.
Therefore, those who leave Jiangcheng need to study hard and improve every day, and those who stay in Jiangcheng need to actively innovate.
Of course, this is just Gu Lixia’s subjective opinion.
I wanted to go to the foreign exhibition area next door, but it was locked and I couldn't get in.
I strolled back and listened to everyone reading the few sentences that Gu Lixia had just taught according to their own understanding. However, someone soon gave up.
"There's something wrong with my head. I can't read."
"Anyway, a teacher from school is coming over, so we can just clean the machine again."
"Exactly. I couldn't even speak Mandarin well enough. It took me ages to ask the people at the guesthouse where to get hot water."
"Me too."
It’s a different story when one person is discouraged. Everyone looks at each other.
No one wants to learn anymore. They all feel that they can’t learn well and feel awkward.
Lu Changzheng glanced around and kicked Xu Jun. "They were all good fighters on the battlefield, so how come they can't do this? No one is born with this ability. What Director Gu said isn't necessarily standard. Isn't it okay to just listen? We're just dealing with it when the teacher isn't around."
Everyone else understood. It was apparently referring to Xu Jun, but it was actually referring to everyone.
"If our products are good, there will always be people who like them. What's more, we..." Xu Jiming, a technical worker at the machinery factory, was about to say a few words, but he shut up under the gaze of others.
Gu Lixia wanted to laugh, and of course, she did. "Xu Gong, how many years have you worked at the machinery factory? When has this planer machine ever been innovated?"
"The shapers we successfully manufactured in 1968 met the quality standards, and only then did we become a designated national manufacturer. Only then were we able to sell them all over the country."
"This thing was produced through the concerted efforts of the entire factory. From the initial one or two units per month to now over 20 units per month. Are you getting carried away and losing your balance?"
"We're all buying obsolete machines, looking at them, learning from them, repairing them, and then imitating them. Don't you know? Why are you so arrogant? When foreigners start begging to buy our obsolete products, not only you, but the entire nation will be arrogant with you."
No one spoke, but everyone felt Gu Lixia's ruthlessness and sharpness.
Gu Lixia didn't want to stare at them anymore, so she called Lu Changzheng outside.
The two of them were silent for a long time, so Lu Changzheng had no choice but to ask, "What's wrong? What problem did you find?"
"Plans can't keep up with changes. Why hasn't a deputy director shown up? What's the reason?"
"We were at the back and didn't get a train ticket. Train tickets are so hard to come by these days. So many of us came here, the machine took the train, and we bought standing tickets."
