Chapter 371 Electronic Products Fair

A few days later, Zheng Youyuan called Lu Yiming on the phone, and said to him enthusiastically: "In two days, there will be Baiyun International Electronic Products Fair, I think we Mingyuan Technology can go there to make a debut .”

When Lu Yiming heard this, he immediately felt that the idea was good: "Electronic products fair? This is really a good opportunity to promote USB flash drives."

As the so-called real gold is not afraid of the fire, Mingyuan Technology has the complete patent and core technology of the USB flash drive. With its powerful product functions, it is difficult to think about it or not.

Zheng Youyuan obviously thinks the same way, so he attaches great importance to this matter: "At that time, many giant companies in the industry will come to participate in the exhibition, not only domestic electronic product brands, but also some internationally renowned brands from countries such as Japan, Japan, and Europe. Brands will also come to join in the fun. So I thought, should we also participate in the exhibition?"

In the past, Zheng Youyuan was engaged in OEM, so he was basically not qualified to participate in this kind of exhibition.

However, now that Mingyuan Technology has produced a new gadget such as a USB flash drive that even developed countries do not have, Zheng Youyuan naturally wants to show his face and prestige.

Of course, Lu Yiming would not refuse this kind of free advertisement, and immediately said: "Of course I want to participate in the exhibition. It is a good thing to participate in the exhibition. I agree with it."

The more developed the country, the more computers there are, and the demand for USB flash drives will naturally increase, which is of great benefit to the development of Mingyuan Technology.

Therefore, it is natural to go.

Seeing that Lu Yiming had said so, Zheng Youyuan immediately said enthusiastically, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

In the classroom, after finishing the call with Zheng Youyuan, Lu Yiming directly touched Shi Qingxue's side, and whispered in her ear, "Do you have time in two days? There will be an electronic product fair, there should be many Something new, I will bring people to the exhibition at that time, do you want to come and shop together?"

Shi Qingxue was not very interested in digital products, but when she heard that she could go shopping with Lu Yiming, she agreed without hesitation.

Unwilling to be lonely, Li Quanwang also licked his face and came over, without the slightest awareness of being a light bulb: "Electronic products fair, I want to go too."

Lu Yiming patted Li Quanwang on the shoulder immediately, and smiled like a fool: "Hey, I was still worried about where to find some coolies to help me work, since you signed up so enthusiastically, I can't bear to let you down Good intentions. So, when the time comes, you can go to work."

As soon as he heard that there was still work to be done, Li Quanwang's face suddenly collapsed. His listless look was like a drooping Tom cat. Even Shi Qingxue couldn't help laughing out loud.

On Saturday morning, Lu Yiming, who was dressed formally, brought Li Quanwang and Shi Qingxue to the venue. As soon as they arrived, as far as the eye could see, the place was already crowded with people.

When Lu Yiming approached the door, a female employee wearing glasses saw him from a distance, recognized him, and immediately ran over with small steps.

"Hi Mr. Lu, I'm Zhao Na, the staff here. Just call me Xiao Zhao. Mr. Zheng arranges for me to pick you up."

After finishing speaking, she took out the prepared pass and work card, and handed them to Lu Yiming respectfully.

And Li Quanwang stood on tiptoe, looked around, and then couldn't help but said with emotion: "This place is really lively, I didn't expect to attract so many people."

He used to think that this kind of exhibition would be attended by big businessmen or the like, and at worst small bosses who came to buy goods. He really didn't expect that there were also many tourists who came to visit, and the venue was packed to the brim.

Walking briskly into the exhibition center, the three of them saw a group of young ladies in cool clothes dancing hotly on the stage. The movements of twisting their waists and swinging their hips, and their long, white legs were simply shaking. People are called a blood boil.

Those with cameras had already taken out their cameras and kept taking pictures. Li Quanwang's eyes were staring straight at the sight, apparently unprepared for the scene in front of him.

Shi Qingxue looked puzzled, walked to Lu Yiming and quietly asked, "Isn't it the electronic product expo that was promised? Why is there such a show?"

Lu Yiming looked back at her cute pouting appearance, smiled and explained: "Exhibition, it's like this. It seems that most men go to the auto show to look at the car models. I guess it depends on the car. Not many."

Shi Qingxue put her hands on her hips and glared at Lu Yiming with a coquettish expression: "Okay, what about you? Are you the majority here?"

Lu Yiming quickly denied it: "No, no, young, rich and suave handsome men like me are of course one of the few, and they belong to the unique one."

Shi Qingxue giggled when she heard it: "You bastard, why are you so shameless, how can anyone praise yourself like that?"

While chatting and laughing, the three of them hung badges around their necks and wandered casually in the venue.

Li Quanwang and Shi Qingxue watched the excitement, while Lu Yiming watched the various information hidden behind the exhibition, and even the official policy direction.

The Baiyun International Electronic Products Fair was held for the first time in [-], and the exhibition area was only [-] square meters. There were not many exhibitors, and there were not even many original domestic brands. Exhibitors are basically internationally renowned large companies such as Baodao, Bangguo and Daoguo showing their muscles.

Among them, there are [-] enterprises from Baodao alone. It can be said that they have organized a group to come to the mainland to make money.

In contrast, the electronic industry in the mainland started late and started from a low starting point. Even in the 21st century, a large number of mainland manufacturers are like Zheng Youyuan. There are even fewer self-developed core technologies.

But Lu Yiming could tell that the official purpose of holding this kind of exhibition is to encourage private enterprises to innovate in technology, hoping to keep the core technology in their own hands, so as not to have to look at foreigners all day long and rely on others.

Although the results are not obvious right now, Lu Yiming knows that this is the only correct way.

It's just that the road is long and difficult, and I don't know how many Xiaguo companies that participated in the exhibition today will survive after 20 years.

Once you take the wrong path, even if you can make some quick money, it will not last long after all, and you will be eliminated sooner or later.

Lu Yiming is very clear that in the next 20 years, the domestic electronic product industry chain will become more and more perfect, and if a company wants to survive and develop from it, it must find its position in advance, and then settle down. Intensive cultivation in the field of technology.

For a while, Lu Yiming couldn't help being immersed in his own thoughts.

Shi Qingxue followed for a while, and found that Lu Yiming's face was deep and thoughtful, so he asked, "What are you thinking about? You're so preoccupied."

Lu Yiming smiled, but he didn't talk about these heavy topics with Shi Qingxue, but asked: "Is there anything you are interested in? The electronic products that can be sent here for exhibition basically represent the latest Cutting-edge technology."

Shi Qingxue shook her head and said, "There's nothing I want to buy."

Women's perception of electronic products is about the same as that of men's perception of cosmetics. No matter how advanced and fancy, they can't get that point.

Later, Shi Qingxue asked curiously: "Where is your booth of Mingyuan Technology? Why didn't we see it all the way?"

Lu Yiming said helplessly: "This is the core exhibition area, and those with a registered capital of less than 6000 million will not be able to enter."

Although Mingyuan Technology has a total investment of 1000 million yuan, its registered capital is only [-] million yuan.

Registered capital refers to the total capital of a joint venture registered in the registration management agency, which is the sum of the capital contributions that have been paid by all parties to the joint venture or that the joint venturer promises to pay.

There is a big difference between the concept of registered capital and registered capital.The former is the embodiment of the property granted by the state to the enterprise legal person for operation and management or the amount of the enterprise legal person's own property.

Therefore, Zheng Youyuan and Lu Yiming jointly invested 2 million yuan to establish Mingyuan Technology, which does not mean that Mingyuan Technology has a registered capital of [-] million yuan.

Shi Qingxue was a little surprised, and asked, "Where is the exhibition area of ​​Mingyuan Technology?"

Lu Yiming said, "It's outside, let's go take a look."

According to the evaluation standards of the Electronic Products Expo, companies with a registered capital of less than 6000 million are basically classified as small and medium-sized enterprises. Don’t even think about the core exhibition area. You can only go to the peripheral exhibition area to find a corner.

However, in the current situation, Mingyuan Technology, as a local technology company, is not bad if it can come.

The three of them turned back outside and found the booth of Mingyuan Technology.The booth area is very small, estimated to be less than [-] square meters, which is the size of a facade room, so it can be said that it is quite unremarkable.

However, although the booth was small, both Lu Yiming and Zheng Youyuan attached great importance to this exhibition. From the moment they got the qualification to participate in the exhibition, they led the construction team to carry out various decorations and arrangements.I even bought a few of the most popular "Future Technology" series computers directly from Jianlai Technology. The cool black chassis and the sci-fi style booth are really eye-catching.

Therefore, although the area is small and the location is average, in terms of coolness, it can surpass those surrounding booths by several blocks.

This also made the bosses of several booths next door complain wildly.I feel that this Mingyuan Technology is simply crazy. It only takes ten days for a temporary site, but it costs so much to decorate. Is it sick?
At that time, Mingyuan Technology didn't think too much about it. This exhibition was the first, and there were very few mainland technology manufacturers, so naturally they put their heart into it.Among other things, the renovation cost alone cost 10 yuan.

But in this way, it will make the exhibitors around feel uncomfortable.

You are afraid of comparison in everything, and you Mingyuan Technology stands out from the crowd, so don't we become weak chickens by you?
Especially Aotian Technology, which is right next to the booth of Mingyuan Technology, the boss Long Aotian came here to sell floppy disks. Originally, the products were not special, and all he earned was hard-earned money. Now compared with Mingyuan Technology, his situation It became even more difficult immediately, and I felt like crying without tears.

After all, the exhibitors in the peripheral exhibition area are basically small and unknown manufacturers, and their working capital may not even be [-].

However, Lu Yiming directly spent 10 yuan to decorate a booth that only took ten days, 1 yuan a day, which made the small exhibitors around him envious.

Soon, Mingyuan Technology attracted the attention of many tourists by relying on the sci-fi elements of krypton gold krypton.Many tourists stopped in front of the booth.

"When did a company called Mingyuan Technology exist in China?"

"Cool, how about we go in and have a look?"

"This booth is so cool."

For a while, many tourists came to the small exhibition hall.

Someone asked, "What do you sell here?"

Immediately, a beautiful staff member in business attire appeared, enthusiastically took out a cartoon-shaped USB flash drive, and said, "Hi customer, this is our product USB flash drive, and this one is our classic animation series. This USB flash drive is The product independently developed by our Mingyuan Technology has obtained an international patent. Its function is to replace the floppy disk. Plug this thing into the USB port of the computer, and you can copy the files in the computer to it at will, and insert it into another It is very convenient to copy the files to the computer.”

While making an oral introduction, the staff member also personally demonstrated the use of the USB flash drive on the computer.

I am afraid of comparison in everything. Compared with a USB flash drive, a 3.5-inch floppy disk not only carries less information, but also fears being squeezed, shaken, and aging.

To sum it up in two words - rubbish!
And this garbage is very expensive to sell, an imported zip floppy disk costs [-] yuan!

It is two or three times the monthly salary of ordinary workers!
Although localization was realized after entering the 90s, making floppy disks very cheap, the quality is also very poor, and they cannot be read at any time, so that "easy to break" has become one of the inherent attributes of floppy disks.

In contrast, the USB flash drive is small in size and sturdy in body, so it can be carried anywhere, not afraid of bending, and can be plugged and played.Compared with the floppy disk, it is simply the gap in the evolution of species.

After watching the staff demonstrate the use of the USB flash drive, someone was immediately moved and asked impatiently, "How do you sell this thing?"

The staff member said: "Currently, our USB flash drive has two specifications. This kind of 8M memory is priced at 480 yuan. There is also a 16M one, which is priced at 880 yuan."

"Good stuff, good stuff."

There was a man who was an electronic product dealer, and he immediately saw the potential of the USB flash drive, and asked: "I sell electronic products, can we talk about cooperation? I will buy a 100 yuan product, and try to see if it sells well." .”

The other one also sells electronic products. Seeing that someone in the same industry is taking the lead, he immediately said, "I opened a shop in Computer City, and I plan to buy a batch of goods."

Seeing the big order coming, the clerk didn't dare to neglect, so he called Zheng Youyuan for instructions.

Everyone has a herd mentality, and as several orders were sold, more and more people came to the Mingyuan Technology booth to watch the excitement.All of a sudden, customers came like a cloud, and the booth staff were so busy that Lu Yiming had to bring Shi Qingxue and Li Quanwang to help receive the guests and maintain order.
