Chapter 11 The Auto Show Order is Protected by United Industries
With the aim of enhancing international influence, the vehicles exhibited this time are all from top-selling global luxury brands or mainstream domestic joint venture brands.
To maintain its high standards, the number of exhibition slots allocated to the public is extremely limited.
For car companies applying for licenses, both reputation and capital are indispensable.
For United Industries, without that press conference, the application might not have been approved.
Fortunately, under Guo Shuyan's guidance, United Industries had proactively sponsored some event expenses for the organizers.
In addition, the Lingyun SU7 has also gained some popularity.
Thus, United Industries secured the exhibition slot without any major incident.
"Mr. Li, the layout of the entire venue is based on a Cartesian coordinate system with the central stage as the origin."
Area A, located in the first quadrant, represents luxury car brands from Europe and America.
Area B is located in the second quadrant, and the exhibitors are mainstream joint venture brands.
Section C of the third quadrant consists of Japanese passenger car brands that win through sales volume.
The remaining fourth quadrant, area D, which is the exhibition area where our United Industries is located, well... it's all up-and-coming car manufacturers.
There is a public restroom connecting the two areas at the intersection of the first and fourth quadrants. Our booth is located in front of the restroom, which can divert some visitors heading to area A.
This spot was extremely sought after in previous years.
After listening to Zhou Feng's introduction, Li Ran looked around Area D. The area was very spacious, and it seemed that there were not many new car manufacturers in the entire Area D.
The exhibition area of United Industries is very large; the central booth could easily fit seven cars if you squeezed in.
After carefully observing the booth, Li Ran had a general idea of what was going on.
The next day, Li Ran arranged for Guo Shuyan to take people to the local factory to purchase some items, while he led the remaining employees and the construction team to begin the decoration work.
Zhao Shuhang, who works in publicity, appeared alone in an office building in the city center, ten kilometers away.
Without bothering with pleasantries, Zhao Shuhang went straight to the point when facing the real estate agent:
"Our company needs to rent at least 50 models for the upcoming international auto show. Do you have any suitable options?"
Clearly, this was a secret mission that Li Ran personally assigned to Zhao Shuhang.
It's fine for auto shows to need car models, but needing so many at once is a bit unusual.
At least for now, Zhao Shuhang can't figure out how to arrange so many models.
However, this was a task personally assigned by Li Ran, who said the more the better, so we could only follow orders.
The photo album in front of him kept turning its pages, each picture showing a young and beautiful woman, alluring poses, and bright, expressive eyes. Zhao Shuhang swallowed hard.
"I want to check... cough... no, I want to watch the video."
The agent then pressed Zhao Shuhang in front of his computer and turned on the media player.
The playback ended quickly.
Zhao Shuhang lit a cigarette to calm himself down:
"Are you comfortable with outfits provided by us? Don't worry, they won't be too revealing."
"As long as the exhibition organizers allow me in, what I wear is not a problem."
"Alright! They're the ones." Zhao Shuhang pointed at the computer, smoke billowing from his nostrils.
"Oh? That's nearly 80 people."
"The more the better."
After quickly signing the contract and agreeing on a time, Zhao Shuhang asked a question before leaving:
"By the way, do you know any baristas?"
"what?"
The agent was completely confused. Zhao Shuhang said, "It's nothing," waved his hand, and left.
-----------------
Time flies, and the day of the auto show's opening has arrived.
As a sales manager for a car tire manufacturer, Feng Yuan took advantage of the year-end lull to bring his unemployed nephew to Guangzhou for a relaxing trip.
Of the three siblings, Feng Yuan, as the second brother, doted on his youngest sister the most.
Unfortunately, my younger sister and brother-in-law passed away six years ago after a serious illness, leaving their nephew alone.
Out of love for his son, he took his nephew home, thinking it would be easier to look after him.
Who would have thought my nephew would be so disappointing, dropping out of college!
If it weren't for my older brother swallowing his pride and begging, this good-for-nothing wouldn't even be able to find a job.
He barely managed to get a job at a taxi company, and later, thanks to his drinking ability, he managed to get a purchasing position.
Unfortunately, not long ago, for some unknown reason, my nephew offended someone and was fired.
Feng Yuan originally planned to bring his nephew to apologize, but after asking around among his cronies, he still didn't know who he had offended.
Terrified, Feng Yuan immediately took his nephew to Guangdong Province, ostensibly to relax, but in reality to avoid the limelight.
The two took out the auto show tickets they had bought from scalpers and appeared at the auto show.
Yes, you read that right, you have to pay for tickets to auto shows these days.
Upon entering, I followed the flow of people to Section A.
Feng Yuan clutched the empty water bottle in his hand, the crowd in front of him making him feel somewhat lost.
A sudden sound drew their attention.
The auto show has only been open for a short time, and it's currently bustling, crowded, and noisy.
It's normal for crowds to gather and take photos, especially at luxury car booths where beautiful people and cars attract a constant stream of visitors.
But what's with the receptionist who wears clothes with the words and logo of "United Industries" printed on them and keeps saying "Please visit in an orderly manner and pay attention to safety"?
This exhibition area doesn't seem to belong to United Industries, does it?
Are they official staff members of the auto show?
The company name doesn't match the one printed on the ticket.
Like many other passersby, Feng Yuan and his nephew stared at each other out of curiosity.
I must say, this short cheongsam paired with black stockings and high heels really looks good.
These young ladies readily agreed to take photos with customers, and Feng Yuan was somewhat tempted.
"Huh?" Feng Yuan took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on.
He wasn't mistaken. At the restroom entrance at the intersection of sections A and D, a group of bright-eyed, youthful girls in pink tennis uniforms were distributing something to the people in line and maintaining order.
These girls' clothes also had the words and logo of United Industries printed on them.
When nature calls, Feng Yuan pulled his nephew to the end of the line.
"Hello sir, we are service staff from United Industries. Thank you for queuing and maintaining order. Here are some complimentary gifts for you. We hope you have a pleasant visit."
The young lady's smile was exceptionally sweet, and Feng Yuan blushed and subconsciously turned his head away.
But then he saw his nephew stretching out his hands with a lewd expression, trying to take advantage of the situation while receiving the item.
He pulled his nephew's arm, took the two small bags first, and thanked him.
Watching the young lady leave, Feng Yuan subconsciously looked through the small bag in his hand: a plastic printed fan, a black garbage bag, a pack of tissues, a bottle of medicated oil, a bottle of nitroglycerin pills, a bottle of water, and a booklet.
"United Industries...that sounds familiar, I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before?" the nephew muttered to himself.
When a picture of a silver-white vehicle that looked just like a Porsche caught Feng Yuan's eye on the brochure, he suddenly realized what it meant.
No wonder it looked so familiar! Isn't this the car company that connected my nephew with them?!
That's right, Feng Yuan's nephew is Jiang Qiu, whom Li Ran contemptuously called "Butcher Jiang".
The two of them ended up at the auto show by sheer coincidence.
Feng Yuan recalled that this company had recently held a new car launch event in his hometown in Sichuan.
The Lingyun SU7 in the brochure in front of me boasts monstrous performance and an absurdly low price.
It's just that it's not well-known; otherwise, it would have sold out long ago.
However, thinking about what he had just witnessed, Feng Yuan felt that United Industries and Lingyun SU7 were about to gain momentum.
Beside him, Jiang Qiu was openly staring at the young lady when Feng Yuan picked up a booklet and smacked Jiang Qiu on the head.
Feng Yuan pretended not to notice Jiang Qiu's questioning gaze.
It's perfectly natural for an uncle to beat his nephew; there's no explanation for that.
Then, he sighed inwardly. If Jiang Qiu had closed the deal back then, perhaps the matter of his nephew being fired could have been resolved by the deal.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
With his mind in complete disarray, Feng Yuan mechanically finished relieving himself and subconsciously followed the group forward.
Coming to my senses, I realized that I had unknowingly followed the group to the booth of United Industries in Zone D.
A large sign on the spacious booth reads: Safety is the greatest luxury.
Four silver-white Lingyun SU7 cars gleamed under the lights, with eight car models scattered around the vehicles in pairs.
Not far in front of each car model, a large screen was erected, repeatedly playing Li Ran's test video at the new car launch event without any blind spots.
Staff members in overalls pointed at the large screen and explained the situation to the people around them.
The occasional greetings such as "Hello Lingyun," "Open the car window," and "Play music" elicited gasps of surprise.
Feng Yuanyuan glanced at it from afar, felt there was nothing to see, and prepared to leave.
"Hello sir, thank you for coming. We at United Industries are offering a variety of snacks and drinks free of charge. Please feel free to help yourself."
A warm and enthusiastic voice called out to Feng Yuan.
The "Beer Girl," whom he had only ever seen on sports channels, appeared before him.
Both girls' clothes also had the words and logo of United Industries printed on them!
The tray fixed to the girl's waist was filled with various pastries, snacks, hot coffee, milk, and other items.
"It's all free. If you need more, just ask us."
Perhaps sensing Feng Yuan's hesitation, the two girls picked up the items from their respective trays and handed them over.
After seeing that Feng Yuan had a firm grip, they turned and left with smiles, continuing to repeat the same set of actions and words to the hurried crowd around them.
At this moment, Feng Yuan noticed that such "beer girls" existed not only in this venue.
Looking towards areas A and C, the "Beer Girl" could also be seen.
The selection was incredibly diverse, including ice cream, cones, ice cream, lemonade, milk, coffee, chocolate...
Whenever these "beer girls" need to restock, they return to the United Industries booth.
At this time, they would always lead a few customers to the vicinity of the United Industries exhibition area.
Customers are inevitably surprised when they see them restocking from the vehicle's onboard refrigerator or a large refrigerator or cooler powered by an external power source.
Feng Yuan even noticed that employees wearing United Industries uniforms were scattered throughout the venue.
They carried a portable trash can with a lid, collecting trash from pedestrians while giving away some keychains.
At that moment, music came from the exhibition stand, and several girls began to dance to the music on the stage.
Feng Yuan started reading while sipping his coffee.
When I came to my senses, the performance was already over, and the cup in my hand had somehow turned into a metal keychain.
"Second Uncle, here you go." Jiang Qiu's forehead was slightly sweaty as he handed the ice cream cone he had just received to Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan silently accepted the ice cream cone from his nephew. A cool sensation spread through his mouth, relieving the heat in his body.
Looking at his nephew and then at the bustling exhibition area, Feng Yuan knew that if he missed an opportunity, it would be truly missed.
He then silently led Jiang Qiu away.
