Gao Fan knew what everyone in the exhibition group was talking about him. In such an era, it was indeed a shocking thing for a Chinese company to export fine chemical products to Western countries. It was normal for everyone not to understand.
To be honest, Gao Fan himself was not sure whether his plan would succeed. Perhaps he was, as everyone thought, dazzled by his previous victory in exporting cleaning agents to Japan, and mistakenly thought that he was an adult.
It should be noted that by the end of the year, commodity exports were no longer a big deal. A foreign trade company without an export volume of 300 to 500 million a year would have no face to say hello to its peers.
Gao Fan's current goal is just a few million dollars.
Some distance away from the booth of Maolin Province, guessing that they could no longer see him, Gao Fan took out a vest from his backpack and put it on.
This vest is the secret weapon Gao Fan prepared before setting off to Yangcheng. On the back of the vest, there is an advertising slogan printed in English and Japanese:
——Provide cheap vitamin E in large quantities
Zhu Nian did not allow Gao Fan to advertise his products, so Gao Fan could only take a different approach and advertise himself.
Advertising shirts are not a new thing in Western countries. In later generations of China, it was not a big deal for a wretched uncle to wear an advertising shirt for beauty products on the market.
However, nowadays, this kind of publicity method is definitely creative.
Gao Fan did not print the advertising shirt because he did not want to attract the attention of the Chinese people, especially government officials such as Zhu Nian. He wrote the advertisement in both English and Japanese. Even if domestic officials saw it, they would
I thought it was an advertising shirt from a foreign company, but I wouldn't associate it with a domestic company.
As for those foreign merchants who may become customers, they will naturally contact Gao Fan after seeing such content. As long as he can get an order, Gao Fan is not afraid of officials finding trouble.
The winner will not be blamed.
In this era, being able to export and earn foreign exchange means being able to do whatever you want.
"Hi, which company do you belong to?"
Sure enough, after Gao Fan was shopping in his homemade advertising shirt for more than ten minutes, someone spotted him. A foreign businessman with a tall nose walked up to him and asked him.
"I am from Canghua Technology and Trade Company of Maolin Province." Gao Fan replied.
The "Chinese enterprise" counterpart seemed a little surprised.
"Yes, we are a Chinese company."
"So, are you a company specializing in the production of vitamin products?"
"Yes."
“What types of vitamins can you provide?”
"Our long-term goal is to provide various vitamin products to the global market. However, currently we only have one product, which is vitamin E."
"Oh, so, how many years have you been engaged in the production of vitamin E?"
"It hasn't started yet, but..."
Before Gao Fan could say the content behind "but", he saw Gao Nozhi give him a polite smile and a meaningful shrug, and then naturally nothing happened.
If he weren't worried about the international impact, Gao Nose would even want to swear at Gao Fan:
Nifak's, isn't this just a white wolf with empty hands?
It is Gao Fan's flaw that he has no production experience. Zhu Nian's caution is not unreasonable. It is difficult for a company that has not yet produced products to reassure customers.
Of course, this is also because China has not yet won the reputation of the "world's factory" at this time. In the eyes of foreigners, China can only produce mineral products, agricultural products, handicrafts and a small amount of rough-processed industrial products. Although vitamin E is not considered a
It is a high-tech product, but in the subconscious mind of foreigners, they feel that the Chinese are not worthy of producing it.
If Gao Fan claims that he has produced vitamin E and has successful sales experience, the other party may be interested in chatting with him for a while. Since Gao Fan says that he has not started production yet, what else can the other party say to him?
"Oh, it's really troublesome."
Gao Fan sighed in his heart and continued to move forward, deliberately making some exaggerated movements in front of passing merchants in order to attract others' attention.
Next, several groups of merchants saw the advertisement on Gaofan's vest and came forward to inquire. After learning that Canghua Technology and Trading Company, which Gaofan represented, had not yet started the production of vitamin E, their reactions were the same as those before.
They all had the same position and high nose, and they all left without looking back.
In fact, the foreign merchants who come to participate in the Spring Fair all have relatively clear purchasing goals. Even if they are not targeting a specific commodity, they are at least coming for a certain category, such as agricultural products, handicrafts, etc.
They came up to ask Gao Fan about vitamin E just because they saw Gao Fan's advertising shirts and then remembered that their company also had this business, so they came to inquire with the mentality of getting more information. Because they originally
They were not here to purchase vitamins. After hearing what Gao Fan said, they would not be interested in continuing to chat with Gao Fan.
Gao Fan walked around the exhibition hall for two hours. His legs were sore and his mood became heavier and heavier.
This move doesn't work well.
The threshold for the chemical industry is too high. It is difficult for an unknown company to gain the trust of customers.
There are so many established chemical giants in the world, why would they come to China to buy vitamins from you?
Could it be that this road really doesn’t work?
Gao Fan sat down on a bench in the corner of the exhibition hall for people to rest and began to sort out the whole thing. He wanted to analyze where he went wrong and what to do next. If the vitamin E project was stillborn, he would
How to explain to all the people, how to deal with Liao Derong, and how to deal with Gu Kunquan.
"Hey young man, what are you thinking about"
A voice interrupted Gao Fan's reverie. He looked up and saw a young man with a Western face standing in front of him. He looked to be about the next year. If you take into account the fact that Westerners generally look anxious, this person is not that young.
Years old is also possible.
"Hello, did I bother you?"
Gao Fan replied in English. The other person also spoke English to him, and he had some American accent. He must be an American. His answer was not to choke, but as a polite gesture.
If you have nothing to do with the other party, and the other party suddenly asks you questions, you should of course check first to see if you have inadvertently disturbed the other party's affairs.
"No, you didn't bother me. However, I just saw you displaying your products in the exhibition hall, but it didn't seem to be very successful, so I wanted to ask what happened."
