Chapter 115: Flowering and Fruiting
The next day
The leader of the Qingdao trading group called the superiors of Qingdao Publishing House and wanted to file a complaint.
Unexpectedly, the other party complained to him first, saying that he was partial to one party and neglected the other. What was originally a win-win situation had caused the entire team to lose unity because of him.
What he meant was that there were problems with the leadership and management of the Qingdao trading delegation, and that Qingdao Publishing House had to pay the design fee.
Even if we bring the case to the mayor, it will be your incompetence. In the end, the leader of the trading group had no choice but to hang up the phone.
The problem could not be solved, so the leader of the trading group thought they could only find Jiang Weimin to do some ideological work.
As long as Jiang Weimin agrees to design clothes for free, all problems will be solved. Although Qingdao Publishing House will suffer a loss, we can find a way to compensate it later!
When I arrived at the booth of Qingdao Publishing House, I saw many people busy working, but Jiang Weimin was nowhere to be seen.
"President Feng, where is Xiao Jiang?"
Seeing that the leader of the Qingdao trading group did not come to question Jiang Weimin but instead came to find him, Feng Nan guessed that Song Wenqing must have communicated with him.
"Boss, there is an American businessman who wants to purchase a batch of comic books. Xiao Jiang went to Guangzhou Hotel to discuss the purchase contract."
"Xiao Jiang's business ability is too strong. It seems that your publishing house is going to negotiate another foreign exchange order!"
"Leader, this is the result of us giving comic books to the hotel for free in the early stage."
"What a good idea! President Feng, when Xiao Jiang comes back, please bring it here and I will talk to him. We still have to focus on the overall situation of foreign exchange work." The leader of the trading group said softly.
"Leader, you are deliberately favoring the first and second printing and dyeing factories!"
"President Feng, you have to know that it's hard to turn around when the ship is too big. I will find a way to compensate your publishing house!"
"Okay! When Xiao Jiang comes back, I can bring him to see you, but our publishing house will ultimately follow Xiao Jiang's opinion."
At this time, Director Xu of Jinan Second Printing and Dyeing Factory came over with a smile on his face: "Old Feng, I have brought a large order of 2 US dollars for your publishing house. Hurry up and take the contract to sign it!"
Hearing this, Feng Nan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "Really?"
Qingdao Publishing House has not received any orders at the exhibition yet.
Director Xu patted his chest and assured: "How could it be true? Do you think I'm joking?
Hurry up, don't waste time!
As for Xiao Jiang, let him design clothes for us as soon as possible."
Feng Nan nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, I'll be there right away.
However, Xiao Jiang is not in the company now. He went to Guangzhou Hotel to discuss a contract with a foreign businessman. He should be back in the afternoon.
As soon as he comes back, I will ask him to design clothes for you."
The leader of the trading group nearby was very surprised when he heard this: "President Feng, what's going on? Why would a printing and dyeing factory in Jinan help you get orders?"
Feng Nan explained with a smile: "Boss, this was all Xiao Jiang's idea. He said that as long as someone can help us get orders, we can help them design clothes. Of course, we still have to charge the design fee."
The leader of the trading group couldn't help but sigh: "This Xiao Jiang is really creative. Not only did he provide the hotel with free comic books, he also came up with a way to use clothing design as a condition to get others to help him get orders."
President Feng quickly said, "Leader, we are also working to earn foreign exchange. As long as we can earn more foreign exchange, any method is worth a try."
"Okay, when Xiao Jiang comes back, remember to bring him to see me."
Director Xu of Jinan Second Printing and Dyeing Factory originally placed the comic book on his booth just to give it a try, after all, the design of the comic book box was very exquisite.
In addition, although an order of $2 is not a lot, if we can successfully get this order, it may bring in a larger order of $100 million.
With this mentality in mind, I told the service staff that if foreign businessmen come, I must help make recommendations.
However, to his surprise, a Hong Kong businessman showed great interest in the comic book today and directly placed an order to purchase the product worth US$2.
It was almost noon and Jiang Weimin hurried back to the exhibition hall.
"Boss, I have lived up to my mission and successfully won an order for 10 sets!"
"10 sets, worth $5, that's great! However, I feel that this kind of foreign exchange earned through one's own strength is more real and reassuring than the foreign exchange earned through design fees."
"President, there is actually not much difference between the two."
"By the way, Xiao Jiang, there are two more things I want to tell you." Feng Nan suddenly remembered something.
"What's the matter?"
"The first thing is that the printing and dyeing factory in Jinan has brought us an order of 2 US dollars. I have already gone over to sign the contract."
Jiang Weimin was also very happy to hear this good news: "Great, then I will design clothes for them right away and make sure to set them as role models. President, is there anything else?"
Feng Nan continued, "There is one more thing. The leader of the trading group wants to talk to you. It is probably about the design fee. But this time the leader's attitude is very gentle. It should be that our leader has withstood the pressure."
Jiang Weimin thought hard for a while, then replied: "Boss, they originally promised to pay us design fees, so I would definitely design for them. But with their attitude, I won't get any benefits even if I design for them."
"Then just reject the leader of the trading group directly!"
"Forget it, as long as the leaders can let them put our comic strips on display at their booth, I will draw for them."
The president was a little surprised and asked, "Are you really going to draw for them? Xiao Jiang, don't let yourself down."
Jiang Weimin nodded firmly: "I agree to paint for them, but if we can get an order in the end, it will definitely have nothing to do with me, and I have the final say on when to paint."
The president sighed helplessly: "Okay, Xiao Jiang, you decide for yourself."
Afterwards, the two found the leader of the Qingdao trade delegation, and under the persuasion of the leader, Jiang Weimin stated his conditions, which was to display the comic strips in their exhibition hall.
After listening to Jiang Weimin's small condition, the leader of the trading group agreed after careful consideration.
However, in the end, it is still the leader of the trading group who has to communicate with the first and second printing and dyeing factories.
After leaving the office of the leader of the trading delegation, Jiang Weimin came to the booth of the printing and dyeing factory in Jinan.
I turned their fabrics around as they watched, then took out a paintbrush and painted the clothes I had designed in my mind.
As Jiang Weimin's clothing design was completed, the Jinan Printing and Dyeing Factory was so shocked by the finished illustrations that they were speechless.
I also learned the method from Qingdao No. 3 Printing and Dyeing Factory and hurried to find a tailor to make ready-made clothes.
I’m afraid that when the time comes, I’ll meet someone who wants to try something on and there will be clothes on display.
