Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 231 Asian Games

Wang Zhigang has been working in Xinhua News Agency for five or six years. He knows many colleagues and has a wide network of contacts. This matter is really not troublesome for him, so he agreed, "This issue is considered to be a hot topic at the moment. Even without me, if you tell them, they will run to catch up with hot spots!"

"Moreover, the agricultural field is the focus of anti-counterfeiting and shoddy products. If there is a problem in other industries, the only loss is money. If there is a problem in the agricultural field, it will be a big deal! Don't worry, according to my understanding of the media industry, they will definitely Will not let go of this good subject! You just wait to read the article in the newspaper!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhigang took out the phone book and called a few familiar reporters from the Central Plains Province to call them. After receiving the call, these people were really interested. Those who acted quickly went to Weijin County on the same day, while those who acted slowly The next day also arrived, and they first pretended to buy a tractor and went in to make an unannounced visit.

Then follow the vines and find the small tractor factory upstream. What Scarface and the others do is counterfeiting, and the small tractor factory manufactures fake and inferior products. Neither of them can escape.

In addition to Weijin County, there are also cases of counterfeit Shifeng brand tractors in other places. These reporters have also gone to see them. Sometimes people from the wind factory help to pass on information. clearly,
Within a few days, the Zhongyuan Provincial Daily and several other media published an article on the counterfeit Shifeng brand tractor on the same day. The article expounded the harm of this phenomenon to consumers and farmers from different angles. , Readers are filled with righteous indignation.

The local government where these counterfeit and shoddy products are located realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, so they immediately organized people to arrest them. Scarface and other guys who produced and distributed counterfeit and shoddy tractors were arrested one after another. I'm confused, and I haven't done anything bad, so why arrest me?

In this day and age, people don’t pay enough attention to brand protection and quality issues. Most people don’t think there is anything wrong with counterfeiting other people’s brands, and they have excuses when they ask. What I wrote on it is Shifeng brand. It's Shifeng brand, why do you say I'm fake?

However, in front of the law, this kind of rhetoric is untenable. Can you see if the manufacturer of Kang Shuaifu instant noodles dares to file a lawsuit with Master Kong?

The relevant departments dealt with these people as quickly as possible. They even called in the journalists who wrote the articles before and asked them to help them write a few more articles to demonstrate their spirit of resolute struggle against counterfeit and shoddy products. Lei can't laugh or cry, why did you go so early?It's not that we didn't respond before, why didn't you deal with it at the time?If I hadn't recruited a reporter, I guess you still wouldn't take this seriously, would you?

Hey, it’s not bad to be able to do this these days. If it weren’t for the limelight caused by big leaders buying shoes, they still wouldn’t deal with it; Certainly similar things are indispensable, and the standardization of market competition still takes time.

After this matter is settled, the Asian Games will soon open. As the first representative to call on township entrepreneurs to donate money to aid the Asian Games, Li Lei also received an invitation from the Asian Organizing Committee to watch the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. This kind of thing must not be refused, so Li Lei agreed.

This year's Asian Games will be held from September 9 to October 22. Li Lei simply asked Li Qiyun to take a few days off, and took the whole family to Beijing to watch the Asian Games.

Before leaving, Li Lei went to various branch factories to have a look. When going on vacation, he must arrange work first. When he went to Luxiang, he chatted with Xing Shuwang again.

Speaking of the problem of counterfeit and shoddy products, Xing Shuwang also shook his head, "When I went to other places for meetings, I saw counterfeit our apricot jam and hawthorn rolls more than once, and I responded to the local officials. When I went again, I found that those counterfeit products were still placed in the store majestically!"

"Local protectionism!" Li Lei is no stranger to it. As long as this kind of thing doesn't become a big issue, the local area will generally not deal with it, because they still expect these small factories to solve employment problems and pay taxes. If they help crack down on counterfeiting, they will At most, they will get a few pennants and letters of thanks, but who will make up for the lost job opportunities and taxes?Anyone will settle this account.

"Yes, localities have local interests, and we have our own interests. In the short term, the two are in conflict! But if this problem is not resolved, it will be very difficult for the market economy to develop healthily! "Xing Shuwang sighed.

"Take your time, at least now you have realized that it is wrong to do so, even if someone protects you, you don't dare to do it blatantly! This is already an improvement compared to the previous years, maybe it will get better after a few more years! Don't talk about these unhappy things, I heard that you are going to make progress again?" Li Lei asked another matter, he heard some rumors vaguely, but he didn't know whether to fix it in place or transfer to another place to go.

"Don't inquire about it in the future, let alone spread it!" Xing Shuwang warned him seriously first, and then showed a reserved smile, "The provincial government has talked to me and wants me to continue working in Luxiang as the leader. As long as you know it, even Jingshu can't say it!"

"Understood." In just a few years, Xing Shuwang has changed from a department-level director of the Agriculture Bureau to a department-level city leader. The speed of progress is fast enough, but he is educated, capable, and of the right age , and just caught up with the limelight of younger and more educated cadres, and whether it is in Heyang or Luxiang, they are all solid achievements, which they deserve.

Xing Shuwang didn't want to talk to him about this, so he changed the topic to work with one sentence, "Can our apricot jam and hawthorn roll take advantage of the Asian Games to sell our products to more countries this time?"

"I have laid out the goods in the Asian Games Village, major stadiums and other shopping malls. Regardless of domestic or foreign audiences, as long as they go in, they will definitely be able to sell! At the same time, I have signed contracts with some popular sports athletes in advance. , as soon as they win the gold medal, the corresponding advertisement will be broadcast!" Large-scale sports games are always a good opportunity to build a brand, and Li Lei has made various preparations for this.

The billboards inside and outside the venues, and the commercials in the TV broadcast have all been arranged. At the same time, those athletes who won gold medals in each large-scale sports meeting will become popular among the people in a short period of time. Naturally, Li Lei will not miss this good opportunity. According to vague memory, some contracts were finalized.

At this time, the country did not pay enough attention to the sports economy, and the national team was still hesitant to accept advertisements for athletes. It was troublesome for other businesses to find athletes to endorse them. The relationship between the Asian Organizing Committee is very good. The athlete who likes to ask the Asian Organizing Committee to help spread the word, and the contract can basically be won.

After talking about the Asian Games, Li Lei talked about another matter, "I still have something to ask for your help. Didn't you go to university in Beijing? I would like to ask you to introduce a few people."

After listening to Li Lei's request, Xing Shuwang frowned, "I can introduce you, but you have to tell me what you want to do. Let's talk about it in advance. It's not impossible to deal with the North, but you Don't go, the people in that place don't behave very well!"

"No, no, definitely not, I just want to know about the situation over there." Li Lei shook his head hastily, he didn't just put in so much effort to be a bad guy.

Xing Shuwang got up and opened the address book, copied a few names and addresses and passed them to Li Lei, and then told him the personalities of these people in detail. With these information, it will be much easier to visit at home.

After returning home, the whole family went to the capital together. At this time, hotels in the capital were not easy to find. Some better hotels were given priority to foreign tourists. Nowadays, there are only a few high-grade hotels in the capital, and the rest of the conditions are very general. Li Lei definitely doesn't want his family to be wronged.

Fortunately, he thought of this problem last year, bought a courtyard house in advance, and asked Lin Lou to help carry out modern renovations while retaining the original appearance.

Now that a year has passed, the decoration has already been done. When you arrive in the capital, you can just live in it. After entering the courtyard, I heard Li Lei talk about the origin of this courtyard, and those celebrities who lived in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Li Qiyun. I couldn't help clicking my tongue. When I read books, I felt that these people were far away from me. I didn't expect that I would live in their old house today.

"Isn't such a big yard at home not enough to live in? Why are you still buying a house in the capital?" Although the family is already rich, Wang Fenglian is still frugal, and she is not used to Li Lei's extravagant spending.

Li Lei has a way, "If you have a house in the capital, you can settle in the capital. The admission rate of the college entrance examination in the capital is much easier than that in the Central Plains Province. I also prepare this for my children! If he is allowed to take the college entrance examination in the capital in the future, he may also be able to take the exam." Go to Tsinghua University and Peking University!"

Of course, this is just talking. Li Lei’s child doesn’t really need the fame of Tsinghua University and Peking University, but if he has the ability and willingness, Li Lei doesn’t mind creating good conditions for him in advance.

Now Wang Fenglian stopped talking, and happily took the children to visit the yard. There are quite a few acquaintances who came to Beijing to watch the Asian Games this time. Lu Guanqiu, Liu Yonghao and others were also invited. Invite them to stay at home, anyway, there are plenty of rooms, and more people can live there.

They went to watch the Asian Games live during the day, and at night they returned home to cook two dishes, sitting in the yard drinking and chatting with the cool breeze, which was quite pleasant.

After watching the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, everyone was immersed in the shock. They did not expect that such a high-quality large-scale event could be held in China.

Although Li Lei was also shocked when he was on the scene, after experiencing the grand momentum of the BJ Olympics, the current scene can no longer immerse him for too long.

"This is just the Asian Games. When we successfully bid to host the Olympic Games, it will definitely be even more shocking!" Li Lei has already made up his mind that he must come to watch the opening ceremony live when he waits for the Olympic Games.

"I really want to hear that our country plans to bid for the 2000 Olympic Games. I wonder if it will be successful? If successful, I will definitely continue to donate money!" Liu Yonghao said enthusiastically.

"We still have to see how the Asian Games are going. If they are done well, we will probably bid for it, and maybe the Olympic Organizing Committee will be able to pass." Lu Guanqiu guessed, he seemed very optimistic.

Although Li Lei knew that the Olympic bid was not successful, he did not spoil the good mood of Lu Guanqiu and Liu Yong. Looking at the future, the failure of this Olympic bid is not necessarily a bad thing. Beijing hosted the Olympic Games in 2000 and 2008. , the effect is definitely different.

It's just that Liu Yonghao's idea of ​​donating money for the Olympic Games may come to naught. Now that the country's economy is not yet developed, it is necessary to raise donations to hold the Olympic Games. In 2008, China will no longer have to worry about funds, so there will be no donations channel.

It was not until Mr. Huo, Mr. He and a large number of patriots strongly demanded that the country opened an opening, but this opportunity to donate money was only given to Chinese outside the mainland, and Liu Yonghao was definitely out of luck.

In the next few days, the three of them wandered between different venues all day long, watching the Chinese athletes defeat their opponents, climbed to the highest podium, listened to the national anthem played again and again, and the national flag was raised again and again , I couldn't hide the excitement and pride in my heart.

There are frequent good news in the sports arena, and there are also good news in the business field. With the help of the Asian Games, the sales of Panpan Foods under Li Lei have also reached peaks. Both foreign tourists and Chinese consumers like the panda on the package very much. Panpan's image, as long as you come to see the Asian Games, you will always buy a few bags, and prepare to give them as gifts to relatives and friends when you go back.

There are even foreign distributors who took a fancy to this business opportunity and offered to represent these foods in their own countries, which added a lot of income to Li Lei.

After participating in the closing ceremony collectively, Liu Yonghao and Lu Guanqiu left first, Li Qiyun and Yu Jingshu also went back, and Li Lei stayed to visit some special people introduced by Xing Shuwang. They were also busy during the meeting, so it was inconvenient to visit, but now it is okay.

Before Li Lei left, someone came to visit him. Old Mouzi laughed and walked in, "Boss Li, your place is very comfortable. After a while, I want to make it the same." !"

Compared with the time when he was in Davos, the old Mouzi now is full of vigor and self-confidence. When he came in, he said a few polite words, and the old Mouzi couldn't wait to say what he wanted, "I recently negotiated a big deal. , I need a lot of food, and many people want to supply me, but I didn't respond, I was thinking of you, brother!"
