Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Two days later, Zhao Wenhao bid farewell to his family and returned to Xuanzhou with Yang Yue.

Since the opening ceremony of this year's autumn Canton Fair is still more than ten days away, Zhao Wenhao did not immediately go to the freight company to reorganize it. Instead, he led his subordinates to prepare for the Canton Fair.

At last year's Canton Fair, Hengyuan Electronics became an instant hit, not only signing contracts worth hundreds of millions, but also making friends with many foreign businessmen, thus laying a solid foundation for future foreign trade business.

Therefore, Zhao Wenhao attaches great importance to this year's Canton Fair.

Moreover, Hengyuan Electronics' products are now becoming more and more abundant, no longer as thin as last year, which makes him feel confident.

On October 5, a team consisting of Hengyuan Electronics' sales, marketing and administrative departments arrived in Guangzhou first.

On the evening of October 14, Zhao Wenhao arrived safely.

On October 15th, the Autumn Canton Fair officially kicked off.

"Hi, Mr. Raphael, I didn't expect to meet you on the first day." Zhao Wenhao greeted from a distance.

Raphael waved from a distance and quickly walked over. "Mr. Zhao, this isn't a coincidence. I came here specifically to see you. I heard your company has developed new home appliances, so I came to take a look."

Last year, McCann Group placed orders worth US$2300 million from Hengyuan Electronics, making it one of Hengyuan Electronics' top five customers.

2300 million US dollars, calculated according to the exchange rate in 93, is 1.31 million RMB.

Therefore, Zhao Wenhao was naturally very happy that Raphael took the initiative to come to him and seek cooperation again.

"Mr. Raphael, our products are much richer this year, and will definitely satisfy you."

Zhao Wenhao enthusiastically pulled Raphael into the exhibition area and took him to visit the company's newly developed rice cookers, microwave ovens, electric fans and other products.

Unfortunately, air conditioners, freezers and refrigerators are still under development, otherwise Hengyuan Electronics' products would be even more diverse.

That afternoon, the Canton Fair's loudspeakers began broadcasting: "Huining Hengyuan Electronics and McCann Group have signed a sales contract for a total of US$3500 million."

With the signing of the contract with McCann Group, old customers also flocked to the company.

Not only that, other customers also came to visit, especially three wealthy people from three countries in the Middle East, who signed a total of 8000 million US dollars in orders.

Such orders are rare in the country, especially in the home appliance industry.

Therefore, Hengyuan Electronics once again launched a satellite at the Canton Fair.

"Mr. Zhao, all the statistics are in. During the entire Canton Fair, our total sales were US$2.6 million, equivalent to RMB 14.976 billion. This places us sixth in terms of transaction volume at the Canton Fair."

On the evening of the last day of the Canton Fair, Qin Cheng also brought a report.

"What? Not quite satisfied yet?" Zhao Wenhao took the report with a smile and glanced at it casually. "It's pretty good. Last year we only had 5.8 million yuan, but this year it's more than doubled."

"Of course I'm satisfied, but I didn't expect that even though the total amount has gone up, the ranking has dropped three places." Qin Cheng scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Zhao Wenhao chuckled and said nonchalantly, "You think only Hengyuan Electronics is developing rapidly? Aren't other companies also making great strides forward? So, there's nothing to be proud of. We have to keep moving forward."

"Yeah, that's true. However, we are still number one in the domestic home appliance industry. Yesterday, some colleagues came to me to inquire about the news." Qin Cheng said proudly.

The Canton Fair was about to end, and seeing that the business that needed to be discussed had basically been completed, Zhao Wenhao had no intention of staying here.

So, that afternoon, he took He Mingzhi and others back to Xuanzhou first.

As for Qin Cheng, he stayed behind to clean up.

"Director He, have all the personnel been arranged?"

The next day after returning to Xuanzhou, Zhao Wenhao called He Mingzhi into his office.

"Mr. Zhao, all the personnel have been arranged and we can set off at any time." He Mingzhi looked at the time and said.

Zhao Wenhao stood up directly without lingering.

So, under his leadership, a minibus drove out of Hengyuan Electronics and headed directly to Ping'an County.

"Uncle San, why are you so late today? You came almost after lunch. Did you play mahjong all night again last night?"

"Get lost! Your second uncle won so much last night, but where is he today? How come I didn't see him?"

"Hey, how would I know about your affairs?"

"Strange, where is Dagou today? I was planning to ask him for an advance on my expenses. I don't know where this guy has gone!"

"I didn't see my cousin today. Not only was he there, but even Zhao Mingliang didn't come."

"Forget it, I'll just go find your Third Aunt and ask her to give me some money first, and I'll make it up later. I was so unlucky yesterday. I only got three winning hands in one night. It was like seeing a ghost!"

……

Just as the uncle and nephew were chatting, a minibus stopped not far from the freight company.

"Director He, come with me and get out of the car first. The others will wait in the car."

Zhao Wenhao opened the car door and got out, followed closely by He Mingzhi.

"It's really amazing that the gatehouse is wide open like this, and the gatekeeper has started to slack off." Zhao Wenhao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He Mingzhi quickly stepped forward to explain, "Boss Zhao, I've already done some research. The old man at the door is Zhao Dagou's fourth uncle, and he's already 72 years old!"

"Let's go in and take a look." Zhao Wenhao looked around and then walked into the gate.

The two of them walked in quickly, but after they entered, they walked around inside for a few minutes but didn't see anyone come out.

Just as Zhao Wenhao and He Mingzhi were about to head to the office building, a young man finally walked out. Seeing Zhao Wenhao and He Mingzhi, he immediately stopped them and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

"Hello, we have a batch of goods that we want to ship to the provincial capital. I wonder where you can handle the business?" Zhao Wenhao said with a smile.

Since Hengyuan Freight opened, he has not come here once except on the opening day.

Therefore, almost no one inside knew him.

"Come back in the afternoon. I'm busy now." The young man glanced at Zhao Wenhao.

"It's already past ten o'clock. My goods need to be shipped today. It will be too late if we wait until the afternoon!" Zhao Wenhao pretended to be anxious.

The man was a little impatient and waved his hand. "I told you I'm busy now, so I'm busy now. Come over this afternoon and talk."

"Brother, please be flexible. Tell me where to go and I'll go there directly to find someone." Zhao Wenhao took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Seeing it was from Hongtashan, the man took it and said, "The person handling it is busy today, so you don't have to wait here. Let's talk this afternoon."

"How can you do business like this? If you do this, I will find another freight company!"

He Mingzhi, who was standing aside, pretended to be very angry and shouted at the man.
