King of Industry

  Chapter 740 An Emotion: Shock

  Nigeria Airport, the roar of planes taking off around could be heard endlessly, but Zhao Guoyang didn't feel upset at all.

   On the contrary, he is in a good mood at the moment, chatting with Zhang Yufang who is sitting next to him.

Staring at the young boss, Zhang Yufang couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao, are you amazing? After only two days of exhibiting, you have signed contracts with several large mining companies in Africa. A million-dollar order, this is too exaggerated! How on earth did you do it?"

Bao Anjun and Zhang Zheke, who were sitting in the front row, couldn't help turning their heads when they heard Zhang Yufang's question, and said in unison: "Yes, Researcher Zhao, the level of your sales promotion has shocked our delegation. Heaven and man, that's awesome!"

  Zhang Zheke is the vice chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, so he is naturally very concerned about commercial trade.

At the end of the first day in Nigeria, when he heard from the delegation that Researcher Zhao actually helped his own "SMS Company" and "Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company" sell 80 sets of mine hoists, When there were thirty excavators, the expressions on their faces were wonderful.

   You must know that Zhang Zheke is no layman when it comes to construction machinery and mining equipment.

For example, the two largest construction machinery manufacturers in China—Wuyi Heavy Industry and Pengcheng Construction Machinery Group Co., Ltd.—ship about 500 to 600 units of equipment such as mine hoists every year. Zhang Zheke is fully aware of this. .

But this Researcher Zhao, on the first day of the opening of the "West Africa International Construction Machinery and Mining Machinery Exhibition", sold one-sixth of the annual shipments of the two major domestic manufacturers. Exaggerated.

  However, what Zhang Zheke didn't expect is still to come.

  In the next day of the exhibition, Zhao Guoyang made persistent efforts and signed several purchase contracts with four or five well-known African mining companies.

   Directly accumulated orders for mine hoists and small excavators to an astonishing number of 245 units and more than 100 units respectively.

   Such a result is no longer enough to be described as "amazing", it is simply a "miracle"!

   During the three days in Nigeria, Zhang Zheke spent almost the same emotion, that is shock, super shock!

  Seeing Zhao Guoyang's indifferent face at this time, this Vice President Zhang has an urge to knock his brains open and take a look.

   Facing the three pairs of eyes looking directly at him, Zhao Guoyang seemed very satisfied.

He shrugged slightly, and explained calmly: "Director Bao, President Zhang, in fact, this time our 'SMS Company' and 'Xingtai International Foreign Trade Company' were able to achieve such results, partly because of luck .”

   "If it weren't for the first day, Mr. Li Zaidao from South Korea's "Hyundai Heavy Industries Group" came to the door, the fame of our Huaxia Manufacturing would not have started so quickly..."

   Zhao Guoyang’s words were not lying at all. If Li Zaidao hadn’t played the perfect “stepping stone” role for himself, the performance of his own mine hoist would not have been known to everyone in such a short period of time.

  In addition, the sudden intervention of Mr. Clement, an executive of the English construction machinery giant "JCB" company, also helped him in disguise.

   Speaking of this Mr. Clement, Zhao Guoyang is really grateful to him.

   Not because of his help, but because of the sincerity of cooperation shown by the other party.

   After seeing the sample of the "mini excavator" at Zhao Guoyang's booth, Clement expressed a lot of interest.

  According to his words, although it is only a sample, it cannot be operated.

  But this "small excavator" manufactured by "SMS Company" has absolutely no problems in terms of performance and technical parameters. Even if it does not reach the world-class level, it is definitely above the average line.

  The most important thing is that the price of this "small excavator" is less than 3,500 US dollars, which is simply the price of conscientious cabbage.

   You must know that in the international market, products of "JCB" with similar specifications can be sold for as high as 23,000 US dollars.

   Even small excavators from "Kubota" and "Hitachi Heavy Industries" that are less well-known than "JCB" cost about 18,000 US dollars.

   In this way, the small excavator "SMS120H-1BE" of "SMS Company" has a great advantage in price.

  In Clement’s view, such an excellent price/performance ratio makes “SMS120H-1BE” have a very good prospect even in the European and American markets.

   Not to mention, in Africa, a huge market that pays more attention to selling price.

After carefully considering Zhao Guoyang's two products, Clement finally reached a "gentleman's agreement" with him. After returning to China, he will make a detailed report to the board of directors on what he saw in this exhibition. Report.

   Regardless of whether the board of directors will choose to cooperate with "SMS Company" in the end, Clement himself will visit "SMS Company" within a few months to conduct a comprehensive interview.

   Zhao Guoyang was not disappointed that Clement did not directly decide to cooperate with his own factory.

  In fact, the reason why "JCB" has been able to endure in the field of construction machinery in the world is that its top management has always been praised for its rigorous actions.

  Although Clement is the director of "JCB Company" and the head of the technology research and development department, he has no right to directly decide which company to cooperate with, which Zhao Guoyang can fully understand.

  In any case, Zhao Guoyang is still very pleased to see the hope of cooperating with the giant "JCB Company".

  Because he has always been the most optimistic and recognized construction machinery giant, this is the company.

  When Zhao Guoyang silently recalled the harvest of his trip to Nigeria, Bao Anjun couldn't help but speak up.

The leader looked at Zhao Guoyang with a smile on his face and said, "Researcher Zhao, after this trip to Nigeria, our trade and investment promotion team's previous budgeted workload has been overfulfilled. More than half of the credit is due to this. It should be attributed to you and Teacher Zhang!"

  Hearing this, Zhang Yufang next to her blushed slightly.

  She secretly glanced at her own Mr. Zhao, and said in a low voice: "Director Bao, I really didn't do anything, just help our Mr. Zhao..."

   "Hey, that's not what I said. Without a certain ability and level, it's not so easy to fight!" Bao Anjun smiled and waved his hands.

  Zhao Guoyang had roughly guessed what Director Bao was going to say next, so he spread his hands and said, "Director Bao, I didn't intend to hide it from you."

"To be honest, after this trip to Nigeria, Mr. Zhang and I are two stops below. There is not much work to do. If you and President Zhang need my help, I will do my best. for!"

  Hearing Zhao Guoyang's straightforward words, Bao Anjun slapped his thigh hard and said, "Okay, what I want is Guoyang's words!"

  Bao Anjun glanced at Zhang Zheke beside him, and said with a smile: "Researcher Zhao, we only have four days left for the next trip. The two stops in Zaire and South Africa are also our team's last chance."

   "Researcher Zhao, you should have seen the situation of the other entrepreneurs and businessmen in the delegation these days. It's really not optimistic!"

  After Director Bao finished speaking, Zhang Zheke continued to speak: "Director Bao is right. Except for you and Teacher Zhang who have achieved outstanding results, the rest of our team is almost wiped out."

   "The No. 1 Textile Factory in Xishan City, Jiangnan Province has not even received a single order; Lehaha Beverage Company has only sold some drinks, and the rest of the state-owned enterprises have not made any progress."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zheke couldn't help sighing and said: "According to the current trend, when our delegation finally leaves for China, except for your 'SMS Company' and 'Xingtai International', I am afraid that all other companies The combined trade volume is less than 500,000 US dollars!"

   "This is far from the target of five million US dollars that was drawn up before we came, it makes people feel ashamed..."

  Zhang Zheke's sigh came out of emotion. He, the vice chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, is responsible for guiding the delegation of more than ten state-owned and private enterprises.

  If the results of these enterprises are in a mess when the delegation returns to China, even if Zhao Guoyang can turn the tide in terms of total trade, Zhang Zheke will lose face.

  Therefore, Zhang Zheke had no choice but to pin his hopes on the last two stops, on Zhao Guoyang, the "magic boy".

Hearing the two leaders, Bao Anjun and Zhang Zheke, sing together, Zhao Guoyang said slightly: "Director Bao and President Zhang, don't worry. Apart from mining, Zaire's other agricultural and industrial fields are Relatively backward. They have a great desire for some basic living materials in our country."

  “Due to shortage of funds and insufficient supply of raw materials, Zaire’s processing industry is very backward and scarce, such as food, textiles, shoemaking, wood processing and building materials, etc., which the country is eager to improve.”

   Having said that, Zhao Guoyang turned his gaze to Ji Ping, the deputy director of the "No. 1 Textile Factory in Xishan City, Jiangnan Province", who was turning his head and listening carefully to his speech.

Nodding politely to the Ji factory manager, Zhao Guoyang continued: "Whether it is textile products, or food, medicine, there is a wide range of sales in Zaire. Therefore, Director Bao, Zhang Hui In the long run, you don’t need to worry about the problem that the backlog of goods on our plane can’t be sold…”

  After Zhao Guoyang's explanation, Bao Anjun and Zhang Zheke both heaved a sigh of relief.

   Now the two of them have great trust in Zhao Guoyang. After the "magic boy" gave this point of view so firmly, the pressure on the shoulders of the two disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Guoyang took a breath and continued: "More importantly, our delegation can trade these commodities directly with the Zaire government. Return funds quickly!"
