Received 100 million Qatar mobile home orders, leading building materials merchant Zhejiang Putian became the big winner of the World Cup
The mobile houses made in China became popular during the Qatar World Cup that year. In the midst of the popularity of mobile homes during the Qatar World Cup, there is an interesting little story. Among the orders worth 100 million yuan, an employee who was about to be optimized due to failing to meet the annual performance assessment suddenly received an official mobile home procurement request from Alibaba International Station for the World Cup.
Before the start of the Qatar World Cup, millions of fans arrived in Qatar. High end chain hotels such as Marriott, Hilton, and Four Seasons have all sold out. The remaining hotel prices have skyrocketed from 4000 yuan per night to tens of thousands of yuan, even for creatively rented cruise ships, the room rates are not low.
How did Qatar solve the accommodation problem in this situation?
The widespread use of "integrated houses" in this World Cup has undoubtedly added a major feature to the tournament. At the 974 stadium, a combination of tempered steel structure and 974 containers of different colors are used.
Located in Fan Village, there are 12000 integrated houses that carry the nostalgia of fans attending the World Cup in person.
Compared to large hotels that often cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, here you only need 1400 yuan per night to have a quiet 18-20 square meter cabin. The room is equipped with a bathroom, water heater, wardrobe, air conditioning, etc., and there are two sizes to choose from: twin bed and king bed.
Not only that, the fan village can meet the needs of fans in terms of location, environment, and supporting facilities. Supermarkets, restaurants, giant screens, open-air theaters, and even subway stations provide sufficient logistical support for fans.
In this Qatar integrated housing project, six Chinese companies joined forces to carry out this time sensitive and task intensive order. It seems that Qatar's requirements are relatively simple, but in fact, before the actual production began, one of the companies called Putian Integrated Housing held multiple meetings and negotiations with Qatar.
Until April, the first batch of orders were put into production.
After the first batch of container houses were delivered to Qatar, the contractor felt that the quality of the houses was very good. Not only is the design reasonable, but the application method of materials also fully considers the local geographical environment and weather conditions. Even the wall panels of the house are made of thickened materials. The supporting equipment, including indoor beds, cabinets, and other furniture, is equipped very reasonably.
Subsequently, the second batch of orders was received, and this Qatar integrated house not only proved the quality and speed of Chinese manufacturing, but also received full recognition and praise from the Qatar side, bringing a satisfactory end to the accommodation problem for Qatar World Cup fans.
