Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"It's only been a few years, we've barely graduated from school, and yet you've already become a renowned entrepreneur."

Shen Bingyan was quite emotional.

"Don't laugh at me. What kind of entrepreneur am I? I still owe the bank a loan of 100 million." Zhao Wenhao smiled faintly and did not take the compliment seriously.

"One hundred million yuan? That's so much?" Shen Bingyan obviously hadn't expected this and asked hurriedly, "Why are you borrowing so much money?"

"It cost nearly 3000 million yuan to build the Xuanzhou Park factory. Importing the most advanced production lines from abroad alone cost over 2000 million yuan, and then tens of millions more was spent on marketing. Then there were the costs of R&D, materials, worker salaries, daily expenses, and so on."

Zhao Wenhao counted on his fingers for Shen Bingyan.

After all, Shen Bingyan had just graduated from college and didn't know about these situations.

Therefore, when Zhao Wenhao told her the difficulties of running a business one by one, he couldn't help but show his worries.

"What? Are you worried that I can't pay back my debts?" Zhao Wenhao chuckled and said deliberately, "You're working now, do you want to lend me some money?"

Shen Bingyan glanced at him and sneered, "I'll lend you 100 yuan, do you want it?"

"Yes, of course. Then don't lend it to me. Just treat me to the meal!" Zhao Wenhao deliberately joked.

Unexpectedly, Shen Bingyan took it seriously and nodded affirmatively, "No problem, I'll treat you."

How could Zhao Wenhao really let her treat him? He just didn't say much at the moment.

He came here specially this time to express his gratitude.

Not every company can participate in the Canton Fair, especially since Hengyuan Electronics is a private company.

Nowadays, state-owned units are still the main ones, and the units participating in the Canton Fair are also organized on a provincial basis.

Of course, if Zhao Wenhao really wanted to participate, there were ways around it. Finding people and building connections wouldn't be a problem.

But it is not so easy to get a good exhibition hall.

In this matter, Shen Bingyan specifically found their leader and used his uncle's relationship to find a very good booth for Hengyuan Electronics.

You know, with Shen Bingyan's personality, it is quite difficult to make her do this.

"Bingyan, thank you!" Zhao Wenhao raised the teacup in his hand.

Shen Bingyan was obviously stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lips and smiled, "What's the big deal? It's just a meal for you, why are you being so polite?"

Zhao Wenhao didn't explain much.

The food was served quickly, so the two of them ate and chatted.

In the middle of the meal, Zhao Wenhao took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and pay the bill first.

It was not until nearly an hour later that the two finally stopped chatting and walked out of the restaurant together.

"Come on, I'll take you downstairs."

Looking at the dark night, Zhao Wenhao was still a little worried.

Shen Bingyan didn't refuse, so the two of them chatted all the way to her uncle's house.

"I'm here, you can go back." Shen Bingyan parked the bicycle in the carport downstairs and looked at it with a smile.

Zhao Wenhao didn't say anything polite. He just waved his hand and left the building.

The driver Cheng Gongke drove slowly behind them. As long as he left the community, he could get in the car and leave.

Looking at Zhao Wenhao's receding back, Shen Bingyan sighed secretly, then turned and went upstairs.

...................

"Director He, find someone to brighten the lights. If that doesn't work, add two more signboards!"

"Qin Cheng, go get two more roll-up banners and put them here."

"Xiao Wang, have the two models you asked me to find arrived yet?"

……

More than half a month had passed, and the Canton Fair was about to open tomorrow. Zhao Wenhao had also personally arrived at the event.

As early as a week ago, He Mingzhi from the Administration Department took the lead and came to arrange the decoration of the exhibition hall.

At this moment in the exhibition hall, the background wall was decorated with blue and white light strips, with a line of large characters in the middle: Hengyuan Electronics.

At the top of the four sides, spotlights shine on each product.

The exhibition hall that Shen Bingyan helped choose has a good location. It is relatively conspicuous among all the home appliances.

That’s right, the Canton Fair is divided according to product types.

For example, textiles, home appliances, machinery, etc.

Next to the Hengyuan Electronics exhibition hall is the Hi'er brand.

"Xiao Wang, tomorrow you take those part-time girls and hand out coloring pages to everyone in the room. Don't be embarrassed, just give one to everyone you see."

"Okay, boss, I know what to do."

"Qin Cheng, how is your sales department practicing their sales pitches? Have they conducted any on-site simulation training? Also, if we encounter special situations, we need to come up with corresponding plans."

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I've already made all the arrangements. Besides, with you personally in charge, we feel much more at ease."

Qin Cheng took out a bottle of Coca-Cola, opened it, and handed it to Zhao Wenhao.

Although Zhao Wenhao knew that this guy was flattering him, he didn't take it too seriously.

Just as the two were still discussing what areas needed improvement, a man from the next exhibition hall walked in.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhao?"

The man smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"You are..." Zhao Wenhao shook it gently and then let go.

The man quickly pulled out a business card from his pocket and introduced himself: "I'm Yu Zhongming from Hi-Er Company. I'd like to meet Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Wenhao took the business card and saw that it read Yu Zhongming, General Manager of the Washing Machine Division of Hi-Tech Company.

"Hello, Mr. Yu." Zhao Wenhao put the business card into his shirt pocket and handed over his own business card.

"Boss Zhao, your company has really set off a firecracker this time, which makes us colleagues feel really embarrassed."

Yu Zhongming still took the business card with a smile.

Zhao Wenhao certainly knew what he was talking about. To put it bluntly, Hengyuan Electronics' inverter drum washing machines were already ahead of the industry.

Currently, most washing machines on the market are still fully automatic. Hengyuan's selling points are its through-type design and variable frequency drive.

These two technologies are not only far ahead in China, but also have considerable advantages over foreign brands.

For example, Hi-Er started out as a refrigerator manufacturer, but only officially launched its washing machine series in the first half of this year.

It was at this time that Hengyuan Electronics launched a groundbreaking product, a technology that was quite superior.

Of course, in terms of price, Hengyuan Electronics' products are only 30% more expensive than other brands.

Because Hengyuan Electronics' original idea was to occupy the high-end market.

"Mr. Yu, you are too polite. Hengyuan Electronics is still young and needs to learn from you in many aspects." Zhao Wenhao replied politely. He didn't know why Yu Zhongming came here.

"I heard that your product has obtained patents in many countries. We have also discussed this internally. If there is an opportunity, our two companies can actually cooperate."

Yu Zhongming finally told the reason for his visit.
