Chapter 43: Duan Ye's Reversal of Fortune

  Yang Yun turned around, and Shen Jun, that scoundrel, was gloating at him with a smirk: "Hey, why are you still here? Why don't you go back to sign the contract? I've seen your booth, that place... wow, it's amazing! The location is perfect!"

  Your throat is hoarse, yet you still love to talk so much! Do you really think no one in the world can handle you?

  Yang Yun was too lazy to bother with him and turned around to leave.

  "Wow, I'm not afraid to tell you, this morning we signed a 5 million deal! A whole 250 million dollars! How about you? Won't be zero, right? Haha!"

  Yang Yun only felt annoyed, this damn thing! At the same time, he was thinking about the phone call he made to Alexei last night, why hadn't it taken effect yet? Shouldn't he have notified Nintendo by now? Considering the time difference with America, it should be about time. If he continued to stay like this and got ridiculed a few more times, he would probably get angry!

  This scene was also seen by many people in the Beijing exhibition area. Everyone is super sensitive to numbers, and a $25 million order! What a big satellite it should be! The highest total transaction value of the Autumn Fair has never been less than 5 billion! Xiaobawang, a small company that nobody had ever heard of before, got an order of $25 million on the first day?

  Many people looked enviously at the Guangdong Pavilion's Little Emperor direction, some of whom knew a bit about what was going on and rushed to Duan Haisheng's side to ask for news: "Old Duan! Your Chi Yang Electronics Factory also makes learning machines and game cards, right? How many did you sign?"

  "What a joke!" Duan Haisheng heard Yang Yun's report and was furious, raising his head and shouting loudly: "Give me such a small place, let me sign in the corner? Look at others, the best location in Guangdong Province, big color TV, big display stand, what do I have here?"

  These old men also found out and nodded one after another, expressing their sympathy for Duan Haisheng.

  They themselves are not much better off either, who doesn't want a large area in a good location, and the orders they get can be considered their own.

  "These days are unbearable! My old man is ready to throw in the towel!"

  At this time, there were not many guests strolling around. Duan Haisheng simply scolded the street. Yang Yun patted his shoulder and said: "Old Duan, let's eat first, after eating, we will have the energy to continue fighting with them."

  Duan Haisheng was in no mood: "I can't eat! I'm going to find that Huang Bei Yang right now! If he doesn't give me a place to move, I'll crash into him!"

  Yang Yun hastily pulled him: "Old Duan, the order can be gone, but people cannot! You must not act rashly! The Canton Fair is still half a month away, what's the big deal about today? Guangdong Province has launched such a large satellite, I don't believe Director Huang won't see it, he won't be envious? We and Little Overlord are similar products, so we don't need to find him, after he gets the news, he will naturally come to us, at that time we can make demands on him, isn't that better?"

  After persuading for half a day, Duan Haisheng finally stopped, holding the boxed lunch in his hand and putting it on the table with a huff: "Unbearable! This Huang Beiyang, I've heard of him in Beijing, he has no talent at all, but relies on his good father, in the foreign trade bureau, dodging responsibility faster than anyone else, and rushing to grab benefits more actively than anyone else. He's a typical Beijing official! If he doesn't give me a satisfactory answer today, I'll make sure he doesn't get what he wants!"

  Yang Yun held up his chopsticks and laughed: "Hehe, eating, eating! You don't let him have his way, isn't that just letting us not have any orders either? Why make things difficult for yourself? And you shouldn't envy or hate Xiaobao Wang, I'm still saying the same thing, let Shen Jun that bastard jump around for a few days. Wait until our next move arrives, and they'll be in trouble!"

  Duan Haisheng's eyes lit up: "A follow-up move? You've got another trick up your sleeve?"

  Yang Yun smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret!"

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, not long after eating, the leaders also returned. Huang Bei-yang led a few assistants to rush to the exhibition area, and after searching around without finding Duan Hai-sheng, one of his loud-mouthed assistants shouted: "Director Duan! Is Director Duan of Chi Yang Electronics here? Where's Old Duan? Who has seen Old Duan? Who has seen him? Quickly find Director Duan for us!"

  Look! Look!

  It's so urgent that everyone is shouting for help!

  The two people hiding behind the booth looked at each other and smiled, Yang Yun made a please gesture and said: "Did you hear that? Please, Mr. Duan!"

  Duan Haisheng burst out laughing, adjusted his collar, and stepped forward. Since they were all calling him "grandfather", he would be magnanimous this time and spare Huang Beiyang once. However, this time he must strive to do better!

  Duan Haisheng walked out with a calm expression.

  "What does Director Huang want me for?"

  Huang Beiyang stepped forward, his eyes shining with excitement: "Old Duan, I remember that the export declaration goods of your Chuyang Electronics Factory are learning machines?"

  Duan Haisheng didn't have much strength and just hummed in response.

  "Where is it? Let me see!"

  Duan Haisheng pointed to the corner: "There..."

  Huang Beiyang walked over to take a look, and sure enough, there were several learning machines placed in the corner, with cassette tapes placed next to them in another box, lined up neatly in a row. It looked neat, but somehow it felt like something was off, as if it lacked something compared to the Little Overlord's display...

  Huang Beiyang looked up and asked: "Old Duan, how many orders did you sign this morning?"

  Duan Haisheng turned up his nose and said disdainfully, "Zero contracts! With this kind of place, you still expect to sign deals? We've been calling for TVs for days, but they haven't even shown up. Director Huang, it's not that I'm not working hard, but if you don't give the horse grass, how can we run?"

  Huang Beiyang was anxious, how could he be blamed? How could he just sign a zero-egg contract?

  Guangdong Province's exhibition hall was shocked when a small king placed an order worth $250 million early in the morning, stunning the entire light industry exhibition hall.

  This is the first time that domestic household learning machine FC has appeared at the Guangzhou Fair, and its effect has exceeded everyone's expectations.

  At noon, several familiar leaders had lunch together. Wang Limin, the deputy director of Guangdong Provincial Foreign Trade Department, started bragging and couldn't help but tell the story of the rise and fall of Little King Company. He was so proud that he almost blew it to the sky! This made the other few people envy him. They signed 250 million on the first day, still in US dollars!

  Huang Beiyang suddenly remembered that he had also received a notice from the company to study, but he didn't take it seriously and casually brushed it off. As a result, he couldn't eat his food and his butt was on fire, so he rushed over to ask for news. When he saw Duan Haisheng's nose pointing upwards, he signed with a zero egg and thought it was an honor rather than a shame, which made him want to get angry.

  An assistant beside him hastily pulled him back and advised: "Director Huang, the task is urgent..."

  Huang Beiyang finally calmed down, no conditions, huh? Alright, I'll satisfy you! Dislike the location, huh? Fine, I'll give it to you! He turned around and beckoned: "Hu Shouqiao! Director Hu, come over!"

  Huang Director, I've already signed 100,000 yuan this morning. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to increase sales by 20% compared to the Spring Expo in half a month!

  Huang Beiyang didn't care about these small orders of 180,000 yuan anymore. He pointed to the best location at the entrance of the exhibition hall and said: "Old Duan! That place is yours! Hurry up and move your booth!"

  "Hu Qiao's hands were in a hurry: 'Aiya, that's my booth! Director Huang, you can't do this! These palace lanterns are all big ones, where am I supposed to move them? I... be careful with these lanterns! Handle them gently!'"

  Duan Haisheng was stunned for a moment, and several staff members had already moved the learning machines, learning cards and other things to the front door. They also moved the palace lanterns that were arranged in a row inside, making Hu Qiao's hands move quickly up and down, worried about this and afraid of that, running back and forth busily.

  After a while, a Changhong color TV was moved over, and several chairs were arranged to form an exhibition stand that looked exactly the same as the Little Emperor's not far away, just like in a boxing arena.

  "Huang Beiyang pointed to the booth and said, 'Old Duan, I'm handing it over to you now. Hurry up and sign the contract! Look at the people across from us, they've already signed 250 million US dollars in just one morning. Oh my, just thinking about it makes me heartache. I say, Old Duan, why didn't you report to me ahead of time?'"

  Duan Haisheng finally found an opportunity to vent his anger, his eyes scanned the area and found that the staff who had stopped him earlier were still there. He also spotted a few people standing nearby who loved to gossip, they all looked stunned as Duan Haisheng glared at them with a fierce gaze, scaring them into retreating backward.

  Duan Haisheng was blunt, having had enough of the cold shoulder that morning. It was time to take action: "Just these few people! Blocking me from seeing you and using words to humiliate me! It's not that I don't want to make foreign exchange, Director Huang! I really have no way!"

  Huang Beiyang was about to go mad, glaring fiercely at the people who had been named, and growling in a low voice: "You few! If you delay this export task, I will ask you to pay the price! The discipline that has been reiterated 100 times, can't you understand? This autumn exhibition is a political task! Have you eaten pig oil and confused your heart?"

  Crows and sparrows make no sound, only murmurs of assent, hesitant words, dodging and evading, nobody dares to respond.

  Duan Haisheng finally let out a breath of relief, satisfied, and pushed Yang Yun forward: "Director Huang, this is Yang Yun, the designer of our learning machine and game card."

  Huang Beiyang immediately changed to a smiling face, shook hands and said: "Not bad not bad, young and promising, do well! Come on little Yang, introduce me to how this thing is played..."
