Chapter 434
"The scenery in the south is better," Feng Yiping muttered to himself while looking outside the car.
"Is it because their skirts are short?" Jin Ling next to him answered.
"Aren't you looking at the document?" Feng Yiping turned his head in surprise.
As soon as Jin Ling got into the car, he took a few folders and looked at them seriously, but he was just pretending?
"I promised Jingping that I will help her take care of it," Jin Ling continued to look at the document without looking up.
This time to participate in the exhibition, the work schedule is very tight, and these days, food and accommodation are not convenient, so Huang Jingping stayed at home and did not follow.
"When I was in junior high school, the poem I learned said, 'The Duck Prophet of the Spring River's Plumbing'. It is not easy to see ducks now, but it is easy to know whether the Spring River's water is warm or not. Just look at the skirt." Feng Yiping looked out the window at those who couldn't wait. The girl in the short skirt smiled and said something.
Jin Ling smiled and punched him, even the driver couldn't help laughing.
Feng Yiping didn't fight back, he still looked at the girls in short skirts outside with a smile on his face. In the capital, in the company's office building, many OLs are wearing skirts. It's hard to meet them on the street or in schools, and the skirts are so Things, Feng Yiping thinks, are the most tasteful to wear in spring and summer.
The new factory area, which had just been completed, looked even more clean and tidy today. Xiong Yuliang led a group of exporters to set up booths there, and Lao Cai was looking after the house in the factory, and by the way, organized the employees to work overtime to carry out these facade projects .
Being so close to the Canton Fair, there will always be customers who are willing to visit the factory. This is also one of the reasons why the number of contracts signed by the venue has always been among the best in previous Canton Fairs. Those customers who are interested in the exhibition will come to visit the factory for a while. Fan, the possibility of signing is more likely.
"Yiping, Mr. Jin, please help check and see if there are any areas that have not been done well?" Lao Cai led them around the factory, and finally asked a little unsure.
You know, in the next few days, the factory may receive foreigners. For Lao Cai, an older generation from the working class, this is not just a business. He doesn't want foreigners to see any bad things.
"Very good," Jin Ling looked at the neatly manicured lawn, the freshly patched cement pavement at the gate of the factory, and the smell of paint wafting from the black wrought iron fence—the factory building After that, these fences were exposed to wind and rain, and some of the paint surface was mottled and peeled off. It seemed that they had been repainted, and said with a smile.
"Yes, it's all good. Uncle Cai, you don't have to think too much. Those foreigners who come to the factory will also be businessmen. They will fight with you for a dollar. In essence, they are no different from domestic customers.
And our factory, under your management, is absolutely world-class in terms of scale, hardware, greening, and environment... Don't worry! "Feng Yiping also forgives Lao Cai.
He went to the bathroom to check it just now, and it was very good, and he was completely on par with Yijia Hotel.
"Hehe, don't make jokes, this is probably the first time that an old man like me has formally dealt with foreigners." Lao Cai said with a smile.
"Get in touch a few times, and you will find that it's nothing. Since our factory is mainly for foreign trade, dealing with foreign businessmen will be a common thing in the future." Jin Ling also understands Lao Cai's mood.
After walking around the factory, Lao Cai called the executives together, met with the two bosses, had dinner outside at noon, and in the afternoon, the driver drove the company’s rented Coaster to send the two of them here When we arrive at the reserved hotel, the 87th Canton Fair will open tomorrow, so we will definitely not be able to leave until tomorrow morning.
There were always traffic jams, but these two days, the traffic jams must be even worse.
Because the booth was obtained through Director Jin, the Provincial Department of Commerce leading the team had a mobilization meeting in the afternoon, and Jin Ling had to attend. Feng Yiping declined the driver's request to take him to the exhibition hall. At this time, he drove the big car In the past, it was not a good choice.
There are already more cars than usual, but what makes it worse is that the construction of Metro Line 2 is underway at the east square of the railway station, which has exacerbated the congestion near the exhibition hall. quick.
Liuhua Exhibition Hall was originally located in a prosperous area, and later became Feng Yiping’s second hometown. He is still familiar with this area. He walked through the streets and alleys. Along the way, he felt that he met more foreigners than locals. They spoke all kinds of languages. The chattering people were also walking there, and behind them were the excited hotel and restaurant owners and staff.
According to later statistics, the twice-yearly Canton Fair will bring 6 billion yuan in revenue to the city. Although it is definitely not that much now, half of the 3 billion yuan in revenue will not run away properly.
Therefore, when the Canton Fair is held in the spring and autumn, it is a time when the service industry is smiling. At this time, not only is there no need to worry about the source of tourists, but it is usually booked out 20 days before the opening.
Moreover, the guests these days, whether they are domestic or overseas, are all business trips, and the expenses are higher than those of tourists. They are the golden source of tourists.
The name on the Liuhua Pavilion is still "China Export Commodities Fair" and has not been changed to "China Import and Export Commodities Fair". Nearly a quarter of the annual export volume, the exhibition, which is famous for its export-oriented and on-site order placement, is still the first choice of many companies that are interested in earning foreign exchange for the country's exports.
Although the Internet bubble in the United States has burst, this year's exhibition still has distinct Internet characteristics. Dozens of billboards outside the venue are all covered by a trade website. The slogan is based on Feng Yiping's point of view. "Create a trade fair that never ends".
Later, Ali, who became the richest man in the country and cultivated a lot of hand-chopping parties, apparently bought the advertising space on the traffic body of the conference.
Near the exhibition hall, there are a lot of people. It seems that there are more foreigners. They need to apply for a pass. This exhibition has some reforms. The duration of the exhibition has been shortened from 15 days to 12 days. Many foreign businessmen came early, and because the Asian financial turmoil has ended , the world economy is also improving as a whole. There are more foreign businessmen participating in this year's exhibition than in the previous period.
There are many cars and more trucks. It should be that the exhibitors are still setting up the exhibition, and the number of booths in this period has increased by nearly 1,000 compared with the previous period.
Around the exhibition hall, there are more police forces than usual. This is a national-level exhibition, ranked third in the world, especially the spring exhibition, which has always been a barometer of my country's foreign trade, so nothing can happen.
The hotels and buildings around the exhibition hall are really close to the water. Taking advantage of the superior geographical conditions, they have converted shops into temporary booths for rent at high prices, and the supply is in short supply. I don’t know if the tax department will collect a special tax. .
Now, although the official exhibition has not yet started, outside the venue, it should be that the company could not get a booth, or the foreign trade personnel of the company did not participate in the exhibition due to other reasons, with a more persistent spirit than the salesman who bought insurance later. at start work.
These handsome guys or beautiful sisters are all dressed professionally. Whenever a foreign businessman passes by, they will say to the past, "excuse me," and then take out a sample of the business card from the bag, and introduce their company enthusiastically Products, and no matter what the other party wants to buy, that guy really has the posture that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
In front of the exhibition hall, there is a unique scene. A group of "student translators" is composed of students from various colleges and universities, holding red cards of their schools and majors in their hands, waiting for businessmen to hire them.
Feng Yiping had a chat with a glasses brother and found that their income is really good. Generally, they can get 200 to 250 yuan a day. Graduate students can get even more, and they can get almost 400 yuan. If some foreign businessmen give US dollars, it will be more.
Good guy, twice a year, adding up to 24 days, if you can receive work every day, you can easily earn the living expenses for a semester, and it really is one side that supports the other.
In the evening, at the hotel where he was staying, Jin Ling, who had finished the meeting at the Provincial Department of Commerce, also hosted a meeting. He didn't talk much, just to encourage everyone.
In fact, not only Lao Cai valued it, but everyone valued it, the Canton Fair that the furniture factory participated in for the first time.
Before everyone went back to their rooms to rest, everyone also got the benefits of participating in this exhibition - customized gray suits, exhibitors can wear casually, in order to appear professional, they are not willing to be casual.
