Chapter 300: Chapter 301 Remote Location
Xu Ying took a brief tour inside the hall, got to know the attendees of the diplomatic exchange, and then went back.
The next morning, everyone was extremely excited for the moment that had arrived.
Each year, the allocation of the hall’s positions is done randomly for fairness, and Minister Bai, along with the people from Yu Province, ran to check their assigned spot with great excitement.
But when they returned, their faces were grim.
"Minister Bai, where are we situated this time? Is it a good spot?" Director Tian asked, curious.
Seeing that the Minister’s expression was off, the canning factory manager quickly pulled aside the oblivious Director Tian.
No wonder this old guy never manages to make any sales with brains like his; it would be strange if he could.
"What are you doing, stopping me! Hurry up and find the venue to set up. If we’re late, we won’t have time to sort everything out," Director Tian, failing to catch the hints from the canning factory manager, continued to ask: "Do you have some eye trouble?"
The canning factory manager, too frustrated to speak, just glared at Director Tian and eventually stopped interfering.
Director Tian kept on inquiring nonstop about the venue.
Minister Bai outright threw the list out.
After Director Tian saw it, his mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg: "What, how can it be like this!
How can we sell products in this godforsaken place, where people don’t even bother to come?"
After saying that, Director Tian looked towards Xu Ying and the others: "We’re really out of luck this year. While in the past our spot wasn’t great, it’s never been this bad.
Somehow, with certain people arriving, we’ve been allocated to such a remote and deserted area, really the worst of luck."
"Director Tian, please spare us some of your comments!" the canning factory manager advised.
Director Tian wanted to say more but, upon locking eyes with Minister Bai’s icy stare, he reluctantly closed his mouth.
Xu Ying picked up the allocation sheet for a glance and then headed towards the route mapped out on it.
Once they arrived at the spot, it wasn’t just Director Tian who was angry; Mr. Sun and others were also breathing heavily with frustration. Their position was right at the edge, and on top of that, they found out upon inquiry that they were surrounded by insignificant little factories.
It was a place that the foreign guests wouldn’t even deem worthy of their visit.
The good products were at the central location. Without anything of need nearby, why would anyone come this far to purchase? Without thinking, one could tell no one would come.
Mr. Sun was so anxious his face turned bitter. It had been tough enough to get to participate in the diplomatic exchange, only to end up with such a secluded spot.
He had initially been determined to secure orders worth millions, but now, a few hundred thousand would be good, even tens of thousands would do.
Director Niu’s face was equally downcast: "Old Sun, what should we do?"
Mr. Sun scoffed: "You might as well ask Xiao Xu instead of me!"
Xu Ying was not phased at all and instructed Zhou Yi and the others to start setting up the exhibition booth.
A minor setback was no reason to stay down; this was not Xu Ying’s usual style.
She was still looking forward to selling her products to more countries, earning more goodwill value, unlocking the full range of her culinary skills, and eventually settling into a comfortable retirement life.
"Mr. Sun, Director Niu, nothing is impossible for a willing heart. As long as we work hard, there must be opportunities.
If not, we create them. Besides, we still have Director Ma. If it comes to it, we can take some samples to their booths for some promotion," Xu Ying said while tidying up.
Mr. Sun looked at her as she ran over with a mysterious expression, "Xiao Xu, do you perhaps have a good idea?"
Xu Ying feigned profoundness and thought for a bit, "I do have a good idea, but if it’s not handled properly, it can’t be realized."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Sun and Mr. Niu immediately got excited and rushed over, "Xiao Xu, you go do what you need to do; I’ll handle this."
Xu Ying didn’t hesitate upon hearing this and took out her prepared wooden box in advance, then headed towards the door of the nearby smaller factory.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all friends from all over the world, and since you have been able to participate in this trade fair, I believe everyone has respectable factories in their locales.
We can’t give up this great opportunity just because our venue is remote. If you trust me, let’s cooperate. Regardless of how remote the place is, we can still attract people.
Having finally obtained the spots for this trade fair, do you really want to give up easily? Don’t you want to achieve some results and let the employees in your factories know that your factory is capable too?"
The originally dispirited crowd was deeply moved by her continuous speech, "Young lady, it’s easy for you to say. Our venue is so remote.
Plus, if we’re selling what others are also selling at better venues, why should they buy ours?"
Xu Ying waved her hand dismissively, "Our venue is remote, so let’s draw all the people here. Once they are here, as long as we put in the effort, we will definitely get orders.
Do you think just sitting there idly will bring in orders? Whether it works or not, you’ve got to try. Only then can you do justice to this spot and to the employees below.
You came here surely carrying the passion of the employees in your factories; do you want to return to see their disappointed faces?"
As soon as Xu Ying spoke, everyone’s face turned ugly in an instant.
They were well aware of how happy their factory employees were when they obtained this spot. If, as this girl said, they could attract people, what else would they have to fear?
"Young lady, tell us what we should do."
"Yes, let’s all try it. If it works, we bring glory back to our factories. If not, we have at least tried, and we can have a clear conscience."
Minister Bai watched from the side, somewhat moved. Everyone was filled with energy by Xu Ying and gathered around her, eager to work.
This girl always had such an infectious spirit.
Xu Ying looked at the group and began to take stock of what these factories were doing.
Indeed, without asking, one would never know—they had all sorts of odd and peculiar businesses.
There were sugar factories, condiments producers, fan makers, ceramics, cups, and even hair clips...
"I’m planning an event, and of course, it’s going to require everyone to chip in, but I guarantee that this effort won’t be in vain, and there will be a return.
It’s just a matter of how much. If you’re willing, come and sign up with me. If not, no worries—everyone can continue what they were doing," Xu Ying said.
Many factories began to hesitate. They were here for the exhibition to make money, and now before they had even made any, they were being asked to put money in, which was not acceptable.
The crowd, which was buzzing with excitement just a moment ago, now looked as deflated as wilted eggplants.
Suddenly, many factories chose to drop out.
Xu Ying didn’t mind, as she could, after all, put herself in their shoes and understand their difficulties.
Fortunately, some factories were still willing to participate in the event. Xu Ying gathered a list of names and began to arrange for the prizes and the lottery items.
For the lottery, Xu Ying used small slips of paper, with each slip indicating different prize tiers.
Then there would be corresponding prizes. After the lottery was set up, Xu Ying, along with a few subordinate staff members, started moving food from their own factory towards the Magic City Food Factory exhibition space.
