The promotion problem of water-saving faucets has been solved very well.

In addition to the 20,000 ordering task promised by the provincial party secretary Sang Mingda, the province also purchased more than 200,000 upgraded products from various cities, with a total of 250,000.

In the short term, several companies entrusted by Chen Mingluo to process on their behalf need to work hard to complete these orders.

However, Chen Mingluo did not intend to make more money on this batch of orders. In total, it would be more than 5 million. However, from a long-term perspective, if this single water-saving project is done well, it will be very beneficial for future large-scale promotion.

However, because of the new opening of the company, there has been almost no progress in promoting outside the province. After all, civil products emphasize trustworthy brands. Mingyu Company does not have any reputation yet, and government procurement emphasizes connections. Mingyu Company also lacks political resources outside the province.

It seems that if you want to promote your own patented products, it still takes long-term efforts to achieve results.

It is worth being happy that the patent applications for technology patents from Europe and the United States, which were handled by the Patent Office, have been approved. Foreign companies have expressed great interest in Chen Mingluo's water-saving faucet invention and are planning to send personnel to China to discuss cooperation issues.

"Which company is it?" Chen Mingluo asked the Patent Office.

"Letong Company." The other party replied.

"Oh——" Chen Mingluo nodded and said nothing.

He has heard of some of Letong Company.

Currently, the world's largest sanitary ware companies are Japan's Dongtao Company, followed by Germany's Gaoyu Company and GROYE Company. The Spanish-based Lotto Company is second only to these companies, and it can be regarded as one of the largest sanitary ware companies in the world.

Today, Letong has established more than 40 subsidiaries in more than a dozen countries, with annual sales exceeding more than one billion US dollars.

However, at present, Letong has not officially established a company or manufacturing factory in China, and there is no product sales of the company on the market. It is just that these sanitary ware products from Europe will be used in some relatively high-end hotels.

According to people from the Patent Office, the other party is already interested in developing in China. This time, he accidentally saw Chen Mingluo's water-saving faucet invention and was very interested. The head of the Spanish headquarters was thinking. It is estimated that a heavyweight will come soon. At that time, Chen Mingluo will cooperate and strive to make the investment land.

"It depends on the other party's conditions--" Chen Mingluo was not very enthusiastic about this.

Chen Mingluo thought it very clearly. Nowadays, the competition among major companies is very fierce. The international market has basically been divided up, and it is difficult to develop any new market. The only opportunity is to constantly innovate. Now that he has launched a water-saving faucet and obtained international patents, it will naturally attract the attention of several major bathroom sanitary ware companies.

Letong Company is just taking action earlier. I believe that there will be several other major companies that come with it. After all, this is an opportunity to surpass its opponents and they will not let it go.

As for the so-called investment, they just hope to use the government's rush to introduce foreign capital to add a little bargaining chip for them to obtain patent authorization. From this point of view, they are well aware of this set of political rules in China.

But Chen Mingluo also has his own considerations. Why did he work hard to get a set of patents? Isn’t it just to accumulate some original accumulation and lay the foundation for future great development?

If it is because of the balance of interests between the government and foreign companies, who will bury this one?

Chen Mingluo was used to political darkness and the ill-gotten fraud of officials. They spoke of righteousness to the extreme, but in fact, all means were for one purpose, that is, to make money.

Although it is not obvious that this aspect is done in this period, Chen Mingluo must be on guard against it, so that he can save himself from being sold and helping him count money.

At this time, he had set a principle for himself that patent rights must not be let go. Foreign companies can at most obtain overseas production authorization. As for the domestic market, it must be left to him for development, or they can also participate in shares, but they are absolutely unable to control shares.

The reason why Chen Mingluo considered allowing foreign capital to participate was because he recalled some policy preferential conditions that foreign companies or joint ventures could enjoy in China, which is very beneficial to the initial development of the company.

Another point is that if you cooperate with major international brands, it will also facilitate your products to enter overseas markets.

I just don’t know what the other party’s trump card is. If they are determined to obtain patent rights and put pressure on the government, Chen Mingluo would rather tear off his face and sell the patent to their competitors, and do whatever they want and completely drive them out of the mainland market.

After all, no matter which large company obtains this patent, it can easily explore new markets and temporarily leave competitors behind.

This is also Chen Mingluo's biggest advantage in cooperation. He will never reveal any traces until he has no choice.

However, these are all later stories. The most urgent task is the need for talents.

Although Mingyu Company's business volume is not large now, with the continuous advancement of subsequent work, there is a lot of demand for sales personnel, service personnel and engineering personnel. Relying on this little manpower alone, it is impossible to cope with the business that is about to explode.

However, these personnel cannot be developed at will. After all, without strict training, employees are simply unable to be competent for certain positions that require professional knowledge and skills.

Although Mingyang City is also a city with a population of over one million, it is not so easy to develop a large number of employees who meet their needs. Chen Mingluo also considered poaching a group of talents from high salaries from universities in the provincial capital to enrich his company. However, now is not the best time, and he just sighs.

Shui Rou lends her assistant Yi Fan as a good assistant. She is not only very familiar with business operations, but also proficient in English and French, and can basically be conversational. For the Lotong Company that is about to visit in China in the future, Chen Mingluo will naturally have private contact in private. Yi Fan can play a very critical role in it.
