Chapter 425 Live Performance (Second update, please subscribe)
In terms of scale, the Chicago Home Appliances Show is definitely the largest home appliances show of this era.
After all, at this time, Europe had not solved the post-war food and clothing problem. As for other countries, the household appliance might be a flashlight.
However, thanks to the booming post-war economy in the United States, household appliances have long been in every household. As for the Chicago Home Appliances Show, it is not only the largest home appliances exhibition in the world, it attracts hundreds of people every year. Thousands of people visited.
It is also the most important way for various home appliances to enter the American market - sellers from all over the United States will purchase goods at the exhibition, and manufacturers will also display their products here.
Because of this, there are too many manufacturers gathered here, with a dazzling array of products that you can't even imagine, and it couldn't be done without them.
Although there are some foreign companies at the exhibition, their products are still lagging behind those in the United States. Those who come to participate are basically just to enjoy the excitement, gain visibility, and want to sell their products. Not an easy task.
After all, in the late 1940s, "Made in the United States" was synonymous with advancedness and modernity. Traditional European manufacturers were just here to participate, let alone in Nanyang.
As the only country from Asia at the exhibition, Nanyang was placed in a corner. Although the exhibition was crowded, few people came here. Finally, a guest came, and the person looked at the booth. The English letters of the alphabet seemed to be unable to spell out the meaning of the letters for a while.
Seeing this, Lin Jiachao took the initiative to introduce him and invited him to visit.
"Are you a company from Southeast Asia?"
The man looked at the display stand with an incredible look, as if to say, are you here to be cute? Or is it just a joke?
"Are there household appliances in Southeast Asia? Oh my god."
"Sir, there are still many unique products in Southeast Asia."
The next second, the man declined Road:
"Sir, I think I may have gone to the wrong place. I thought it was the European exhibition area at first!"
Indeed, near them were the exhibition areas of France, Belgium, the Netherlands and other European countries, and a husky mixed in Among the wolves!
Don’t you have to be responsible for being cute and funny!
Lin Jiachao was not stupid enough to ask "why". Although he had a smile on his face, it was more ridiculous than crying.
The man continued:
"Sir, it's not easy for you to come to the United States. You'd better go shopping in a department store! At least it will be worthwhile!"
As he said that, the man showed a look of "I'm doing it for your own good." expression".
Wolves are too dangerous, huskies should not stay here!
After the man left, Lin Jiachao looked around helplessly, as did everyone else.
Facts have proved that in any era, people have fixed thinking. Just displaying products like this will definitely not work.
As one of the few manufacturers who participated in the exhibition in person, Song Yunchu naturally seemed very anxious. He who was originally full of confidence could not help but doubt his life.
Seeing the scorched face of the factory director, Ma Zhihao said.
"Director, they say that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but deep alleys can bury people!"
"Isn't that the case, Chief Ma, what do you think we should do now? ?”
Facing the look from the factory director, Ma Zhihao looked at the crowded booth, thought for a moment, then took an electric shaver and left.
...
Large-scale exhibitions will definitely have leisure areas that provide some simple entertainment facilities. Of course, the most important thing is various catering services, selling drinks and food.
After all, both exhibitors and merchants from all over the world have to eat. At some exhibitions in Nanyang, food festivals are even held in the square outside the venue, selling snacks from all over the country, which also attracts attracted a lot of passenger flow.
At the exhibition in Chicago, there is no shortage of various delicacies, and the prices are not expensive.
For example, at exhibitions held in the United States, there will most likely be hot dog sellers. As it approaches noon, there will be many guests in suits and ties, sitting at the dining table eating hot dogs. There are often people at their feet. There will be a briefcase.
These people are either sellers and purchasers from various places, or manufacturers' sales staff. In short, their biggest characteristic is that they are always on the road, and their dusty appearance is difficult to hide.
Like many people, Ma Zhihao was also dressed like this. After ordering a hot dog, he found a seat in the middle and sat down. After finishing the hot dog in three to five times, he took out He wiped his lower lip with a handkerchief, as if he had discovered something, touched his chin and lips, and murmured softly. Then, he put the suitcase at his feet on the table, opened it, and took it as if no one else was there. Out comes the razor.
Press the switch, and then there is a sound of "this...". Although the noise of the shaver is not loud, it still attracts the people around. A fat man who is eating a hot dog at the table sees At this scene, he was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. The hot dog was in his hand, and he looked at the Asian curiously.
What did he use?
Is it an electric shaver?
But where are the wires?
Most of the others were the same. A few people who had just arrived by train or plane even couldn't help but touch their beards - they hadn't shaved all night.
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, Ma Zhihao swept away the beard on his face, and finally touched his smooth chin with satisfaction.
Very good, very smooth. He didn't say a word during the whole process, but he successfully attracted the attention of others. At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, he actually shaved off half of his neatly decorated mustache. .
Everyone was stunned for a moment - there is such an operation?
While everyone was watching, Ma Zhihao touched the other half of his mustache. What do you seem to be thinking about?
A moment later, he took action on his beard again.
I was shaved clean in no time.
Just when he stopped, the fat man had already walked over and said.
"Sir, can I see this electric shaver of yours?"
The fish is hooked!
Ma Zhihao said.
"Of course,"
Taking the electric shaver, Tom looked at it and said.
"Is it powered by a battery?"
"Yes, a new type of rechargeable battery, sir. It only needs to be charged once and can be used for several days. People like me often go out. It is very convenient to use and can be used anytime and anywhere. It is simply tailor-made for me.”
Ma Zhihao seemed to be a salesman as he explained endlessly. On his recommendation, Tom used it to shave his beard, but it only took a few dozen seconds to shave off the messy beard.
No wires required, no mirror and foaming fluid required with a regular razor. Instantly, Tom became interested in Hao's product.
“It seems to be a very good thing to use and very comfortable to use. If possible, I will take some back and give them to my friends as gifts.”
Tom spoke.
Hearing this, Ma Zhihao opened the box directly, which was filled with electric shavers.
"Sir, our electric shavers are available in various colors. You can take a look at them first. These are samples!"
Ma Zhihao handed the electric shaver to Tom. .
“This milky white one looks very technological in color. This sky blue one looks comfortable in color and can make people feel comfortable. This brown one is more resistant to stains. Even if it is not cleaned for a year, it will still look good. Not available. There are other colors here, and you can customize them if you have special needs.”
Ma Zhihao completely transformed into a salesman, while Tom took the electric shaver samples of different colors with a curious look on his face and observed them carefully.
The products are all the same, just different colors.
“Yes, I’m going to have this, this, and this.”
Tom picked out three colors.
“Sir, would you like some more?”
Ma Zhihao asked with a smile.
“I think these items are enough.”
Tom shook his head:
“How much is the total?”
“The entire United States has How can you do this with so many men! I think you need at least 10,000 pieces!”
Ma Zhihao said.
Tom was slightly stunned. He looked at Ma Zhihao carefully and asked:
“Are you not a salesman?”
A buyer who can come to the exhibition, I still have brains.
Ma Zhihao nodded:
"Sir, I am indeed a salesman, but I am a salesperson for a company. The main product of our company is this electric shaver, which is our patented product."
"So, Are you here to sell products? That was just a show!"
Looking at Ma Zhihao, Tom's eyes were full of appreciation. This was the salesman's appreciation for his peers, while the surrounding people were already full of appreciation for the product. Most people who are interested are like this.
Ma Zhihao smiled awkwardly, and then said:
"My products also participated in the exhibition, but our booth is relatively remote and there is not much traffic, so I came Try your luck here.”
