Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King Chapter 416 - 250: Sample Dispute and Exhibition

On the ninth day of the new year, it’s the first day of work after the company officially resud operations.

Zhao Bingguang and Zhang Yang organized an opening eting for company employees.

The content of the eting was simple: preparing for the fishing tackle exhibition held at ijiang in Tianjin at the end of the month!

Speaking of the fishing tackle exhibition, Zhang Yang Company is no stranger to this. Last year’s spring exhibition, Old Zhao led the team to participate, but due to lack of experience, they got a less favorable location in an outdoor tent at Pavilion L.

Even so, their key products like pond bait and other feeds still garnered many orders and offline agents, and the expansion of the company’s offline stores is closely linked to their participation in the exhibition.

This year, after rapid developnt, the situation is different. The model of online dia promotion offline physical agents’ cooperation has led the Famous Fishing Tackle Company to grow rapidly.

Now, the company has ample funds, and its brand strength is no less than those established fishing gear companies.

Old Zhao, sitting at the head of the conference room, cleared his throat and spoke: "This year, we got the entry tickets to the brand pavilion N at ijiang exhibition, a pretty good location.

I spent money and called in favors to secure this slot, so everyone must not be careless!

With such significant effort in attending this exhibition, everyone’s task is heavy: promote our company’s spirit and key products! Is everyone confident?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

...

"That montum is quite good, not bad! I will personally lead the team with President Zhang. Apart from on-duty personnel, everyone else will be in position!

In the next few days, business managers should reach out via phone to potential agents to lay the groundwork for signing orders at the exhibition! The product team should prepare all samples for the exhibition!

For samples from the new product line that haven’t arrived yet, push for them again! Although things seem trivial, they are hugely important! Don’t drop your guard, the year is over, let’s perk up!"

...

After a regular eting, ordinary employees returned to their offices to work, leaving only Zhang Yang and Zhao Bingguang.

"Are you sure you want to go this ti? This is not a great job; it’s exhausting and you have to worry about everything!" Old Zhao casually took a cigarette from the pack and tossed it to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang grinned: "Why? You think I’m used to being relaxed and can’t handle a little hardship?"

"Not really, mainly because the exhibition is bustling, and you don’t have specific responsibilities. As company president, you’re being treated as an ordinary soldier, isn’t it a waste of your talent?" Old Zhao explained with a smile.

Zhang Yang shook his head: "In the past, maybe there wasn’t a use, but now there is! Go to the exhibition to broadcast live! Live stream every situation at the exhibition to the friends online! What’s that saying? Browse the exhibition from the cloud!"

"Wow, it actually sounds pretty interesting when you put it that way!" Old Zhao slightly paused, quite surprised.

"Since we’re broadcasting live, the exhibition is also part of the fishing tackle industry’s streaming content. Ordinary people rarely get an opportunity to learn about an exhibition, so let’s use this exhibit to create so excitent!

By the way, have the samples for the fishing rod category finalized before the year? How’s the follow-up going?"

ntioning Famous Fishing Tackle’s rods, Zhang Yang was quite expectant.

So far, there hasn’t been a particularly robust pond rod on the market. During the quieter winter season for company business, Zhang Yang had the research and developnt team liaise with OEM fishing rod manufacturers, intending to create sowhat extraordinary pond rods.

"Don’t ntion it! It’s been handled by young Chen in the R&D departnt, but the OEM factory has been dragging their feet. I could tolerate the high prices, but the sample creation efficiency is poor! They claid it was almost done in early December, yet we haven’t received samples! I’ll urge them again!"

"Oh, the samples haven’t been stocked yet?" Hearing this, Zhang Yang slightly furrowed his brow.

"No, they’re always delaying until tomorrow! Haven’t seen any sign of them yet!"

"Alright, I understand. Let soone continue to follow up then!"

"Okay! There are still over ten days until the exhibition. If it’s necessary, I’ll send young Chen to Weihai!"

Zhang Yang didn’t say much at the mont, just nodded to show he understood.

Although he didn’t express it verbally, Zhang Yang felt things were a bit off.

Perhaps outsiders don’t understand the approximate process of launching a fishing rod product.

This matter is both simple and complex.

Making a fishing rod, besides the relevant machines, also requires carbon fiber cloth and specialized molds.

Dostic companies, aside from Guangwei, can’t produce carbon cloth; it needs to be imported. The top fishing rod brands generally use fabric from Japan’s Toray and South Korea’s SK, anchored on different specifications and paraters according to functionality.

Carbon cloth can be easily obtained with money, but molds are distinct.

This involves a certain technical content, especially in designing an innovative pond rod mold, demanding substantial polishing and experintation.

At this point, so might not understand what these molds are. Simply put, they’re tal rods of different tapers.

Telescopic fishing rods are assembled in sections, each with a taper.

How is each rod section made? By properly combining different models of carbon fabric on the molds, and then solidifying them at the right temperature to bind the resin and carbon fabric together.
