Chapter 247: Hostility
Saturday the 15th.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Feng Yiping stood in front of the hotel window, and with his eyes now at the level of 3:0, he could clearly see the long queue in front of the check-in office for the guests of the trade fair, which was somewhat similar to the ticket office of the popular scenic spot during the Golden Week.
However, the queue here is full of foreign businessmen, many of whom still look like dusty people, hanging a bag and dragging a large suitcase from the taxi, either just from the airport, or have not booked a hotel in the city center, and live in the suburbs or nearby cities.
Although there are many people, they are in order, and the policemen on duty next to the queue are wearing olive green police uniforms, and the policemen on duty with white gloves are particularly conspicuous, and they seem to be about to change their clothes, changing into the navy blue uniforms similar to black that are commonly used in the world.
"Ready to go," Jin Ling greeted as she pushed open the door.
"It's still early, I'll talk about it later, let Manager Ou and them go first,"
Although the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation had already held a press conference yesterday afternoon, there would definitely be an opening ceremony at the meeting, and it was estimated that there would be more than one ministerial-level leader present, and Feng Yiping could not make up for the excitement, nor did he want to join in the excitement.
"Alright then, let's go first, and call us when you want to come in. Jin Ling left in a hurry.
As the president of the company, she was one of the 3,000 people invited to participate in the opening ceremony, and before the ceremony, she had to take the main exhibitors to the booth to check again.
Ou Boyang, who is in charge of foreign trade, took Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhao, a man and a woman, two assistants, followed Jin Ling through strict inspection, entered the exhibition hall, passed through the luxurious and atmospheric home appliance exhibition area, and finally came to the front of the exhibition hall of his home.
Director Jin made a few phone calls to get this small booth that is three meters long and three meters wide, with a total of nine square meters, and the location is not bad, not in the center of a row, just a good position at the end. It's quite conspicuous.
Jin Ling glanced at it a few times, a little dissatisfied, "Remove the table that was equipped with the exhibition, and bring the table inside and put it at the door." ”
When Ou Boyang took Xiao Yu to adjust according to Jin Ling's meaning. The exhibitors from the booth next door also came, a middle-aged man who was not tall but had a small stomach walked in front with his hands behind his back, and a man and a woman in the back were carrying bags.
The middle-aged man watched as the two men tore off a few strips of tape in front of the booth and glanced at it a few times. His eyes rolled up and down on Jin Ling, who was wearing a gray skirt, and he glanced at the layout of Jiasheng's booth disappreciatively, "Hehe, as soon as this limit is canceled, all small factories will come in." ”
It's very fucking condescending, bullish and coaxing demeanor, I don't know if people listen to him, and think it's the booth of the Provincial Minmetals Company. (China Minmetals, the oldest state-owned import and export trading company, is also a training center for export foreign trade talents.) Many of the main foreign trade talents of private enterprises are dug from Minmetals. )
His male subordinate must have been used to praising him, and immediately continued, "yes, you want to try your luck here, maybe you will win the jackpot?"
Before this session, for non-liquid enterprises such as Jiasheng furniture, there are export amount requirements, that is, like Jiasheng. At present, it has not completed a foreign trade business, and it will not be able to enter the Canton Fair last year.
Hearing this, Ou Boyang and Xiao Yu didn't react and did their hair. Xiao Zhao, who also wore light makeup and wore the same clothes as Jin Ling, had a rare opportunity to get in close contact with the president, glanced over there, and whispered, "I don't know what's going on." We didn't recruit him or provoke him, and they have been talking coldly since the day the exhibition was set up. ”
Jin Ling didn't look over there, holding her hands to see Ou Boyang and Xiao Yu making adjustments according to her meaning, "Just do your own job." ”
If you don't pick up the stubble here, it's not good to make further provocations there, no matter how you say it, it's a province, and it's such an international exhibition, so it's not too stiff.
Here is another beauty, the middle-aged pot-bellied man said those words just now, but he didn't mean to attract Jin Ling's attention.
Feng Yiping sat leisurely in front of the window and watched the opening ceremony over there, when the leader spoke, he still had time to change the channel with the remote control to play, but unfortunately, the TV series "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" that he later learned Cantonese seemed to not premiere until the second half of this year, and it can't be seen yet.
It was only after Minister Shi of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and Governor Lu of the conference director sounded the opening salute and loudly announced the official opening of the meeting, and after all the guests had entered, he walked slowly towards the venue.
In the place near the venue, there will be Ali's salesman, who is holding a promotional bag and handing it out to foreigners, which contains pens and other things, which is very suitable for exhibiting, but they are only sent to foreigners, so that Feng Yiping can't take advantage of it.
The current Ali is far less atmospheric than later, and it is estimated that it is also affected by the Internet bubble, so it is not good to burn a lot of money.
Later, when the Canton Fair was held, Feng Yiping did not go over to join in the fun, and it is estimated that Ali at that time, as an influential Internet company in the world, would not pull customers so quietly.
In this place where foreign businessmen gather, in addition to these hard-working business promoters, there are many people who have discovered this wave of rare market, the same hard-working beggars, their ability to survive is too tenacious, even the police can't put an end to it, and they will drag a few sentences in English, "hello, pleasemoney, money,"
Feng Yiping felt a little funny when he saw it, it seems that there are not some highly educated talents in the current beggar gang.
So they miscalculated the market situation with false optimism, thinking that this was a big gold mine, but, judging from the results, they really expressed their feelings, what they were looking for were not those foreign tourists, but the capitalists of the authentic capitalist society, who would give alms if they didn't rob them of the props they begged for?
One by one, the foreign merchants treated them as air, chatting with their companions without squinting, and the rest of the miserable people who had worked hard to dress themselves up scolded stupidly.
There are indeed a lot of foreign guests who come, and the foreign businessmen who are queuing up to apply for certificates at the registration office have actually lined up at the door of Hall 2.
At the entrance, there is also a long queue.
The Canton Fair, which may be the most stringent security exhibition in China, is now definitely exceeding the level of foreign airport security in the same period, just when Feng Yiping was queuing up, there was a benevolent brother in front, who should have used a fake access card, and was invited out by the four armed police brothers, politely, but resolutely.
To say that the Canton Fair is the most clumsy, that is, this point, it is easy for foreign businessmen to get a pass, but what about exhibitors, a standard booth, only give you three passes, the general enterprises are not enough, in addition, not to mention the trouble, but also worth a lot of money, a card, up to a ticket money.
The loophole is actually very easy to drill, when Feng Yiping participated in the Canton Fair for the first time, all eight people in the company went in, in fact, it was very easy, after entering, while the security was not paying attention, just throw out the pass and give it to the next one.
This time there was no need to be so troublesome, Jin Ling gave him a pass from the Provincial Department of Commerce.
Feng Yiping walked forward slowly, according to the law, on the first day of the exhibition, the buyers were waiting and comparing, the transaction rate was not high, and their own booths would not need his help.
The most brilliant in the exhibition hall is also the number of electromechanical halls, which are the most bullish in several home appliance companies, the well-known ones in China, the booths are more than 200 square meters, and the most proud is Haier, which has more than 30 booths and more than 500 square meters!
Thinking of his poor 9 square meters, Feng Yiping is envious, jealous and hateful!
However, the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind, and several of them have disappeared from the market later.
In his own exhibition hall, the popularity is good, there are many people standing at the door watching, Jin Ling personally went down the field and introduced to the customer in fluent English, Ou Boyang and Xiaoyu are also working hard to introduce the sample to the customer, and another girl, Xiao Zhao, is holding a stack of materials with a smile, standing next to the aisle to solicit customers.
Feng Yiping didn't rush over, and looked at the house next door for a while, what was put out here was rattan furniture, which was very good, but it was obvious that there were more customers in Southeast Asia, and those in Europe and the United States were not very interested, unlike their own side, which was available in both places.
The middle-aged pot-bellied man didn't seem to know foreign languages, he walked around outside with his hands crossed, glanced at Feng Yiping's pass, and said to him with some familiarity, "What's so nice over there? Those things, it doesn't even look like they're being processed, they're just raw materials put together, and at that level, the province actually arranged for them to come to the exhibition? I don't know what path they went.
I'd like to see if they can't get a single order when the exhibition closes, and they spend such a large amount of money in vain, and see if they can still laugh. ”
When he met a fellow countryman in his hometown, Feng Yiping originally felt quite kind, but when he said this, he suddenly felt that this Humpty Dumpty man had a very hateful face and was not kind at all.
The exhibits over there, is it my idea?
However, this is also quite strange, listening to this guy's meaning, it seems that he has a prejudice against his own family, why is this? )
