Chapter 167 Orders Decreased
After Song Wenqing reported this to the municipal party secretary, it attracted great attention.
Whether in clothing design or in earning foreign exchange through comic strips, Jiang Weimin may bring in foreign exchange orders worth tens of millions of dollars to Qingdao every year. This astonishing figure is truly eye-catching.
After receiving a large number of orders, Jiang Weimin's comic book "The Monkey King" became famous and known throughout the world.
After a serious meeting, members of Qingdao's leadership team had a deep understanding of Jiang Weimin's existence.
They unanimously determined Jiang Weimin's vital position to Qingdao City.
At the meeting, the leaders, after in-depth discussions, passed a resolution to create a new vice president position at Qingdao Publishing House.
In this way, Jiang Weimin will be able to be promoted smoothly after this Canton Fair. At the same time, in view of Jiang Weimin's outstanding contributions to Qingdao, his position will be upgraded to deputy director level.
In response to this, the Secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee made a special report to the Shandong leaders, in which he strongly condemned Shandong Publishing House's unfair competition.
The next day, Feng Nan also told Jiang Weimin in a veiled way that he would be promoted after the Canton Fair.
This news made Jiang Weimin realize that Qingdao Publishing House had already responded to Shangdong Publishing House's attempt to poach its employees.
When President Sun came to him again, Jiang Weimin once again decisively rejected him.
The printing and dyeing fabric exhibition area at this time
At this Canton Fair, the printing and dyeing factory received a lot of large orders for the clothes designed by Jiang Weimin.
Those exquisite designs and unique styles have attracted the attention of many domestic and foreign customers.
Several units have received foreign exchange orders of no less than US$100 million.
The third printing and dyeing factory could actually obtain two design drawings, but after careful consideration and taking its own production capacity into consideration, it only requested one design drawing this time.
However, when Jiang Weimin saw that his comic strip had received a huge order of nearly 100 million US dollars and that he could continue to create the comic strip,
Director Liu was filled with endless regret. He began to suspect that Qingdao Publishing House might not be interested in the 5% design fee in the future.
Director Liu thought with regret in his heart that it would have been helpful if he had asked for an extra copy to keep!
At this moment, Director Liu looked at Director Zhang of the Second Printing and Dyeing Factory with envy in his heart.
After all, Jiang Weimin's uncle worked there, and he felt that as long as his uncle asked, he would definitely be able to let Jiang Weimin design clothing for the Second Printing and Dyeing Factory.
Director Zhang of the Second Printing and Dyeing Factory was extremely happy at this time.
It was only the second day and they received orders worth one million.
As soon as he got the order, Director Zhang suddenly felt his back straightened.
In the past, when facing the First Printing and Dyeing Factory, he always had an air of servility, but now, that feeling has completely disappeared.
When he looked at the First Printing and Dyeing Factory again, he no longer had the humility he once had.
The booth of the First Printing and Dyeing Factory still displayed the poster that Jiang Weimin had drawn for the First Printing and Dyeing Factory last time.
However, in order to increase its appeal, the First Printing and Dyeing Factory asked other manufacturers to imitate and paint two paintings.
From a distance, it does look somewhat similar, but if you look closely you'll find that it's always a little off.
These imitation posters do not have the kind of stunning feeling that makes people's eyes shine, whether in terms of the design of the clothes or the color matching.
Moreover, at this Canton Fair, many manufacturers drew posters simply because Jiang Weimin’s first design was so successful.
His design is like a shining star, illuminating the entire Canton Fair.
Because of this, many painters who were suppressed in the past have been rehabilitated in advance and have the opportunity to show their talents again. But painters are painters after all, not fashion designers!
When Director Hao saw that the Second Printing and Dyeing Factory had received such a huge order, he suddenly became furious.
He never imagined that the Second Printing and Dyeing Factory had secretly established contact with Qingdao Publishing House and even won such an impressive large order.
Looking at my own side, the posters that I hired painters to draw with great effort are of no use at the Canton Fair, like chicken ribs.
Director Hao became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. The unwillingness in his heart prompted him to come up with an idea, which was to let the leaders of the Qingdao trading group put pressure on Qingdao Publishing House again.
However, he never expected that the quota of Qingdao Publishing House in the Canton Fair was determined by the leaders after careful consultation.
Moreover, Qingdao Publishing House also received large orders at this Canton Fair, which can be said to be in the limelight.
When Director Hao approached the leader of the Qingdao trading group and put forward his request, the leader sternly rejected him and seriously told Director Hao not to always think of using the old methods to solve the problem.
Finally, when the Canton Fair ended and the order volume statistics for the First Printing and Dyeing Factory came out, Director Hao was surprised to find that the order volume had decreased by 30%.
The result surprised him so much that he could hardly believe his eyes.
Director Hao immediately organized personnel to conduct an investigation. After careful investigation, they finally found that the missing 30% of the orders were taken away by fabrics of the same color from Qingdao No. Printing and Dyeing Factory and a printing and dyeing factory in Guangzhou.
At that moment, Director Hao instantly understood that this must be Jiang Weimin from Qingdao Publishing House taking revenge on him.
Then, Director Hao rushed to Jiang Weimin with anger, his eyes blazing, and asked loudly: "Jiang Weimin, did you deliberately design clothes with the same fabric as ours for other printing and dyeing factories to steal our orders?"
At this time, Director Zhang from the Second Printing and Dyeing Factory and Director Hao from the Third Printing and Dyeing Factory had already heard the news and rushed over.
Seeing this, Director Liu stepped forward and said righteously, "Old Hao, what are you talking about? Comrade Wei Min is not that kind of person.
He designed the clothes for our Qingdao. The fact that the color of your fabric coincides with his is purely coincidental.
Lao Hao, you can't just wrongly accuse a good person."
"Yes, it's pure coincidence." As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, Director Hao from the Third Printing and Dyeing Factory hurriedly agreed.
“Humph! Lao Zhang, you’ve worked under me for so many years. Don’t think you can talk to me like this just because you’ve got a big order.
And this time you have snatched our order. When you return, I will definitely give your factory a good talk.
I don't believe I can't cure you." Director Hao's face was full of anger and his tone was full of threats.
Then, Director Hao pointed at Jiang Weimin again and said aggressively: "Jiang Weimin, tell me, did you do this on purpose? You have ruined our foreign exchange earnings. You will definitely pay the price this time.
I tell you, if your behavior affects Qingdao's foreign exchange earning mission, you cannot bear the responsibility."
Jiang Weimin looked calm and said slowly, "Director Hao, please don't accuse me so easily.
Jiang Weimin behaves uprightly and has a clear conscience.
Besides, you really should change your working style.
The various manufacturers at the Canton Fair were all decided by our superiors after careful consideration. I just made reasonable designs based on the fabric colors provided by each manufacturer.
If you have any questions, go to the head of the Publishing Bureau instead of accusing me here."
Jiang Yafei took over the conversation, "Yes! You should go back and look for your own problems, and don't let us take the blame for your incompetence!"
At this moment, the leader of the trading group came over. With a serious face and frowned, he reprimanded:
"Director Hao, what are you crazy about? This is the Canton Fair. Is this the place for you to make trouble? Go back quickly. If you have anything to say, wait until you return to Qingdao."
"Leader, Jiang Weimin deliberately did something bad to our printing and dyeing factory, causing our orders to drop sharply this time! This man has a problem with his thinking!"
Director Hao was still unwilling to give in and complained to his superiors anxiously.
The leader of the trading group looked at Jiang Weimin with a meaningful look, and then slowly said: "Director Hao, don't talk nonsense, Comrade Jiang Weimin designed clothes for various manufacturers and helped them obtain large orders. This is a great achievement.
Please stop making such unfounded remarks. Go back now and report any problems you have back to your superiors."
At this time, Director Liu and Director Zhang also stepped forward again to persuade Director Hao to leave. Director Liu said softly: "Old Hao, stop making trouble here, listen to the leader and go back first."
Director Zhang also advised: "Yes, Director Hao, if you have anything to say, let's go back and talk about it. Don't be in a stalemate here."
Director Hao had never been so humiliated in all these years, and he was filled with resentment. He looked around, but the situation was stronger than the people, and no one was on his side.
Director Hao had no choice but to leave angrily!
