Compared with previous years, the Canton Fair in the past seven or eight years has been very different.

The biggest difference is that there is less red inside and out, and more other colors.

Yangcheng, as the first city in China to experience the reform and opening up, was the first to be reflected in this session of the Canton Fair.

The Canton Fair has been relocated twice, starting from 74 years, and moved to the current Liuhua Road Pavilion.

For the Yangcheng Canton Fair, Chen Can has been here several times, of course, that was thirty years later.

For the city of Yangcheng, Chen Can's heart is very complicated.

For Chen Can, this city is like a second hometown, where he has experienced happiness and success, but also pain and despair.

The city is a paradise for some, and for many, it's a steel cage from which there is no escape!

The third life is a human being, and he seems to have an inseparable fate with this city.

This time it was 1978, the last time was 1990, and thirty years later, everything was magical.

In every era, when he came here, Chen Can felt a different feeling, the difference between 1978 and 2018 was like two different time and space.

This time, Chen Can is not here to play this time, not to mention that there is nothing to play in Yangcheng in this era, the water of the Pearl River is still so turbulent, the only difference is that there are no high-rise buildings on both sides of the river.

Compared with those foreign merchants and all kinds of large guests, the treatment of these domestic exhibitors is much worse.

The entire Liaoshen delegation was arranged into a guest house, and the ten people of the Ningjiang Wireless Factory could only be assigned to three rooms, two rooms for men and one room for women, or bunk beds, Chen Can was a little speechless.

It is a tradition that treats foreigners with courtesy, and that Chinese people have the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work.

Chen Can doesn't care, anyway, this is just a simple place to stay, and the reason why he brought ten people this time is naturally well-prepared.

Chen Can, the financial accountant alone, brought two translators, and the other was the sales staff, the samples transported from Ningjiang, and the layout of the venue, these people had to follow up from time to time.

A small county-level city has more exhibitors than other prefecture-level cities, which is why only Ningjiang Wireless Factory has such treatment.

Liaoshen also has great expectations for Ningjiang Wireless Factory this time, which Chen Can naturally knows.

Chen Can naturally will not live up to Liao Shen's trust, to be honest, he can get the support of a province, which is something that Chen Can would not have dared to think of a year ago.

The reason why Ningjiang wireless factory can develop so fast has a lot to do with those support.

Chen Can doesn't want to be involved in some intriguing relationships, which Huangjiang is very good at blocking most of the contradictions, and there are some that can't be stopped, Chen Can doesn't care, no matter who the final benefit is, but don't block the development of Ningjiang Wireless Factory.

It is with this tacit understanding that Ningjiang Wireless Factory can develop so smoothly.

The Canton Fair will not open until the day after tomorrow, Chen Can thought that he was here, so he decided to take a good look at Yangcheng.

It's not about having fun, it's about finding a special sense of belonging.

Although I am already very familiar with this city, after all, it is a Yangcheng for seven or eight years, since I have come, I am really sorry to go back and forth if I don't go to see it.

Chen Can followed the road he had come from in his previous life, all the way forward, went to the Thirteen Lines, also had a train station, and even went to the urban village where he once stayed.

Along the way, the scenery I saw was joyful, helpless, disappointed, and more emotional.

Sure enough, that saying is true, time can change everything!

The city, starting this year, is like a clockwork machine, and its next 40 years will change more than the previous 400 years.

Maybe I have the opportunity to witness this time.

You're a traverser, aren't you?

After a simple day of playing, Chen Can immediately put himself into work, the Liaoshen delegation is basically from the Northeast, and they are very unaccustomed to the weather here, and they complain again and again.

After all, in the Northeast, at this time are wearing cotton jackets, and here, the weather is good these days, and they are still wearing short sleeves, and at night, it suddenly rains again, and the next day is a sunny day, and the most important thing is that the humidity is very heavy.

Chen Canzhi likes this kind of weather very much, he is not only used to the weather here, but also to the people and language here.

Although Chen Can can understand Cantonese and speak Cantonese, he does not dare to reveal it at all.

As a Northeast man, in this day and age, if you say that you taught yourself Russian and English, people may still believe it, but if you speak fluent Cantonese, it will definitely be better than censorship.

After all, in this era of self-taught Cantonese, are you planning to learn to swim?

Chen Can naturally knew this truth, so he brought a translator, he was still the big scum Mandarin, occasionally speaking a few words of broken English, which made the female translator laugh non-stop.

Chen Can has been to the Canton Fair in 13, 16, and 18 years, but at that time, the Canton Fair had already entered the public, and it was not as tall as it is now, let alone so mysterious as it is now.

At that time, the Canton Fair, as a visitor, and now this kind of participant, are completely different experiences, not to mention the characteristics of the two different eras, which also gives Chen Can a great sense of freshness!

At that time, there were white-skinned and black-skinned gringos everywhere, but now, there are fewer dark-skinned and not many white-skinned, and more are Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan businessmen wearing suits.

Before the 90s, the main buyers of the Canton Fair were mainly Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and after the 90s, European and American merchants gradually occupied the mainstream.

This is also normal, in this era, the ties between the Chinese must be closer, and there are some old friends in the third world, and those foreigners in Europe and the United States obviously still have some prejudices against this country.

Of course, those European and American foreigners, who came to the Canton Fair in this era, were more interested in China's cheap raw materials.

Ningjiang Wireless Factory is assigned to Hall 6, where the main product is household electrical appliances, electrical products of this era, compared with later generations, there is no comparison at all.

But there should be electrical appliances here, obviously, whether they can be sold or not, this is a kind of display of national strength.

Although they are all old-fashioned things, they have everything from radios, to black-and-white TVs, and finally to refrigerators, which can be described as a complete category, and one of them makes Chen Can feel more friendly.

This kind of electrical appliance is an electric fan, this place is very stuffy, but looking at the rows of electric fans, Chen Can also feels a little cool.

Don't underestimate this electric fan, the ace commodity of electrical export in this era is this electric fan.

Since the 60s, electric fans have begun to earn foreign exchange through exports, and have made a great contribution to the construction of the motherland.

In fact, the technical difficulty of the electric fan is at the level of primary school students for Ningjiang Wireless Factory, but Chen Can does not want to do it.

The reason is very simple, the technical difficulty of this thing is too low, since the eighties, there are countless electric fan manufacturers all over the country, and the competition will quickly become white-hot, and Ningjiang Wireless Factory will not bully children.

When Chen Can saw the "diamond brand" electric fan, he couldn't help but feel more cordial, in the early nineties, Chen Can bought one at home, and it was used for nearly 20 years, and it was not broken, this is the real Chinese quality.

Like these things I am doing now, electronic watches have to be thrown away after two years, radios are estimated to have to eat dust in drawers for three years, and then tape recorders, CVDs and other things are all products that are quickly eliminated by the times.

In the next ten years, the goal of Ningjiang Wireless Factory is to make quick money on the tuyere, who will engage in products that can be used for more than ten years and will not be eliminated?

In the field of electronics, if you want to make money at every outlet, you must maintain a technological lead, and it is an absolute lead!

Because then, a technological monopoly is formed!

Only by truly forming a technological monopoly can we grasp the initiative!

And now, the electronic watch of Ningjiang Wireless Factory is the first bright sword product!

Passing by each booth, Chen Can was full of emotion, and many pictures appeared in his memory, which made him feel familiar and familiar, but he also felt infinitely emotional about the opportunities of the times.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, Chen Can was woken up by the delegation early in the morning, and it was only six o'clock at this time, and Chen Can was speechless.

However, the leaders of the Liaoshen delegation were obviously very excited today, and they called everyone to a meeting early in the morning.

Although there was no conference room, everyone was crowded in the dining room of the guest house, and the leader of the delegation stood on a chair foaming at the mouth, telling the exhibitors of each city about the policies, how to face foreign businessmen, and how to work hard.

In fact, the leader has talked about these things no less than five times, but he still doesn't feel tired.

Chen Can yawned, ate fritters, and listened to the leader's speech.

The foaming mouth gave a passionate speech, and Chen Can felt sad for his colleagues sitting in the front row, and there must have been a lot of saliva on his face.

If it weren't for the leader who spoke, Chen Can would almost think that he was a master of success, and he would have missed that slogan!

"Work hard! Success, success, and brilliance!"

Finally, an hour later, the leader called the meeting to end, and everyone hurriedly left to prepare.

Chen Can felt that he hadn't slept enough, so he went back to his room and squinted for an hour, and was not woken up until eight o'clock.

At this time, outside the door, the others were already ready, Chen Can washed up briefly, and then waved his hand and led everyone towards the exhibition hall.

At this time, there were already a lot of people in the square outside, in addition to the merchants who came to visit, there were also many local people.

The common people of this era are not allowed to enter the exhibition venue, but it is the nature of the Chinese people to see the excitement.

In fact, compared with the crowded scene of later generations, this era is still a lot more deserted.

Chen Can put on his badge and led a translator and two others into Hall 5.

For the rest of the people, Chen Can has other arrangements!

As soon as Chen Can entered the pavilion, he saw an empty scene, and even those delegates who came to the exhibition, not many people came at this time.

Obviously, those exhibitors know what the situation is, and only first-time exhibitors like Ningjiang Wireless Factory are so active.

In addition to Southeast Asia, there are also black uncles in the third world, who will look at Huaxia electrical appliances in this era?

Even the mechanical exhibition hall next door has more people than the electrical exhibition hall.

Chen Can walked to his booth, looked left and right, frowned, and finally had a strong spirit and didn't say anything.

Originally, the electrical area was an unpopular exhibition area, and the exhibition area of Ningjiang Wireless Factory was an unpopular one, in the innermost position, and the area was only half the size of others.

There is no way, who called Ningjiang Wireless Factory is the first time to participate, and it is only a department-level unit.

However, Chen Can didn't care about the location, all he wanted was an exhibition qualification.

Chen Can was wearing a loose suit, but he was in good spirits, and he immediately arranged for everyone to check the situation of his booth.

Everyone started to work one after another, but Chen Can felt a little stuffy inside, turned around and walked out.

Chen Can naturally knew about the electrical exhibition area, and there was definitely no traffic now, so he decided to go to other exhibition halls to have a look.

Anyway, it's still early, and Chen Can is not in a hurry.

Chen Can visited several exhibition halls in a row, and the most impressive thing for him was probably the traditional handicraft exhibition area.

There are also ceramic products exported by Jingdezhen, with a wide range of categories, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite, which is a little more charming than the industrial porcelain of later generations.

If we talk about this era, which products can still appreciate in later generations, it is probably those ceramics and jade carvings.

Seven or eight years is a special year, and the whole exhibition hall is a little less red and a little more colorful.

Chen Can also went to the Textile Museum, and the products here made Chen Can feel a lot of emotion.

The Hunan embroidery and embroidery paintings are shocking, and there are handicrafts that have been lost in many later generations, but now they are everywhere.

And Chen Can also saw a rare thing, that is, jeans.

As soon as I inquired, I learned that this is the first time that domestic jeans have been exhibited, and this kind of jeans does not shrink and the quality is very good.

Chen Can checked the fabric, the quality is indeed very good, the only drawback is that the style is a little old-fashioned.

Chen Can visited the textile museum, but in fact, he still had some regrets in his heart.

Because the foreign businessmen who come here are basically here to purchase raw materials, the exquisite silk is sold at the price of cabbage.

Many domestic commodities, in the eyes of those foreign businessmen, are low-grade goods, the reason why they come to China to purchase, is that the raw materials here are cheap.

Even if you buy some goods and sell them back, they are sold as rare low-grade products, from the far East, for many Europeans and Americans, even if they are synonymous with backwardness.

Chen Can could also clearly feel the pride of those foreigners, especially some white merchants, and the arrogance in their eyes was almost undisguised.

Chen Can had a calm face, walked around for a while, glanced at the electronic watch in his hand, and then walked out of the exhibition hall slowly.

As soon as he walked out of the exhibition hall, he saw a group of people not far away, Chen Can couldn't help frowning, and walked straight over there.

When I got closer, I saw that the employees I had arranged earlier were negotiating with several uniformed men.

Surrounded by a crowd, Chen Can stepped forward and hurriedly inquired about the situation.

With this question, Chen Can's brows furrowed even deeper.

It seems that his plan is a hundred secrets!

Previously, Chen Can asked several employees to stand at the door, and handed out leaflets to those merchants, all in English, which introduced the high-end electronic watch series of Ningjiang Wireless Factory.

In order to quickly attract customers, Chen Can is even equipped with a translator, which can be described as full of preparation.

Chen Can believes that the price of electronic watches and the sense of technology will definitely attract many foreign businessmen, and their targets are European and American buyers.

But Chen Can never expected that this was just the beginning, and there would be problems.

The problem is very simple, the staff of the exhibition hall saw that someone was handing out English leaflets, and it was mysterious, and the leaflets were all in English, and they were worried that someone would send some kind of bad leaflets, so they quickly contacted the police to dispatch.

So the opening scene appeared.

This was obviously a misunderstanding, and the translator and Ningjiang's people tried their best to explain, but they didn't care, and immediately took everyone away.

Two hours later, Chen Cancai walked out of the police station with a few people in disgrace.

The leader of the Liaoshen delegation, who led the Liaoshen delegation, frowned at Chen Can and the others, obviously wanting to reprimand a few words, but in the end it turned into a sentence.

"Director Zhou, don't do this in the future!"

After speaking, he left, leaving Chen Can and the others looking at each other.

Chen Can also sighed helplessly, he still miscalculated the times, if it was two or three years later, it is estimated that the current situation will not occur.

Chen Can remembers that in the 80s, some people already used beautiful models as advertising signs, and now they are careful to distribute several English leaflets.

Now, it's all over, and Chen Can's previous plan has been completely disrupted.

The electrical exhibition area was originally an unpopular area, not to mention the booth of Ningjiang Wireless Factory, which was still in the innermost, and there was almost no flow of people.

In this case, I can only attack by myself, but I never expected that the start would be so bad!

Chen Can frowned and led everyone towards the exhibition hall, it was almost eleven o'clock at this time, and the square of the exhibition hall was full of people, and even Chen Can saw many people setting up stalls.

There are also snacks and boxed lunches, many foreigners are patronizing, and Chen Can is also surprised.

In fact, for those foreign merchants, the Canton Fair has made arrangements for accommodation and food, but with so many people, it is obvious that it is impossible to do everything.

Even many foreigners have various problems because of poor communication.

Chen Can was even more surprised by the scene, he saw many people outside holding products and selling them to passing merchants.

Chen Canyi inquired and learned that it was some local factories that were not qualified to participate in the exhibition, and they also wanted to try their luck during the Canton Fair.

In this case, it is definitely not allowed in the venue, but existence is reasonable, it is all guerrilla, and everyone knows that one shot is exchanged for another.

Chen Can didn't go to the electrical exhibition area, because he knew very well that there would definitely be no people in it now.

The weather was particularly hot today, and Chen Can felt unbearably thirsty, so he shouted to a staff member next to him.

"Xiao Wang, go buy a few bottles of water!"

A staff member hurriedly said yes and trotted over.

After half an hour, Xiao Wang came back panting and carrying a few bottles of soda, and he explained while apologizing.

"Director, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've made you wait for a long time, I'm not familiar with this place, I asked for a long time before I found a place, there are many people, and there is a queue!"

Chen Can didn't blame, picked up a bottle of soda and opened it, grunting dry, refreshed!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Chen Can's mind, and Chen Can took the empty bottle of soda and fell into deep thought.

Standing in the square, Chen Can touched his chin and rubbed it, and several subordinates next to him all looked at him with a confused expression.

Chen Can thought about it, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled, and he felt that the thoughts that emerged in his mind were very interesting!

It wasn't until the subordinates on the side shook his shoulders that Chen Can came to his senses with a smile.

He put the soda bottle in the subordinate's hand and said with a smile.

"Let's go, the weather is good today, let's go have a good look in Yangcheng!"

After speaking, Chen Can didn't look back, turned around and left!

The subordinates looked at each other, and no one knew what kind of nerves this deputy factory director Zhou had!

The leader of the team led by Liaoshen is a deputy director surnamed Chen of Liaoshen Industrial Institute, and he walked in front of one exhibition hall after another with a calm face at this time.

He was very angry at this time, and the results of the Liaoshen delegation this time were very poor, and now it has been a morning, and the turnover is less than 30,000 US dollars.

Thinking of this, he felt a fire in his heart, just met with his colleagues in Hunan Province, and the turnover of people in the morning had broken 200,000 yuan, and the embroidery alone sold 50,000 US dollars.

This comparison, he was annoyed, he suddenly felt a little dry, looked around, and the subordinates next to him understood, and hurriedly brought a convenient kettle.

He glanced at the kettle, snorted, and then took it.

As soon as he took a sip of water, Deputy Director Chen suddenly remembered something, so he asked.

"How's the electrical exhibition area?"

Everyone knows that in the Liaoshen exhibition group, only Ningjiang Wireless Factory participated in the electrical area.

The subordinates looked at each other, and no one spoke, until Deputy Director Chen puffed out his bull's eyes and glared at everyone.

The middle-aged man who helped Chen Can out of the siege at the police station before showed bitterness and stood up.

He is Huang Jiang's comrade-in-arms, named Zhang Ning, a deputy director of the Liaoshen Industrial Bureau, and he is also in charge of all the work of the Ningjiang Wireless Factory at the Canton Fair.

Because of the operation of the Huang River, he got this errand, and originally thought that it would be a ready-made credit, but he never expected it.

It's only the first day, and he has already wiped his ass once for Ningjiang Wireless Factory.

And the performance of Ningjiang Wireless Factory this time also made him extremely disappointed!

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said embarrassedly.

"They're not open yet!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became even more embarrassing.

This time, Ningjiang Wireless Factory is one of the most valued exhibitors in Liaoshen, and almost everyone expects it to create a miracle again.

Ningjiang wireless factory, for Liaoshen, it is a miracle in itself, in just one year, it has created one miracle after another, but now in the face of international merchants, it can be said that it is facing a real big test, and everyone wants to see surprises again.

It can be said that as much hope as there is, there is so much disappointment!

The anger in Deputy Director Chen's heart felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, and he didn't drink the water anymore, so he put down the kettle, put his hands behind his back, turned around and left.

At this time, the electrical exhibition area was deserted, and a few merchants were talking about business at other booths, looking at the appearance, they were basically the black uncles of the third world, and there were a few Chinese faces, and the height should be Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia.

Most of these merchants are old merchants, they have fixed cooperative manufacturers, and they basically won't wander around, because the entire electrical area is large and small, and the styles look similar.

At this time, the innermost Ningjiang wireless factory booth, because the main product is an electronic watch, is not conspicuous, unless it is specially to this corner to see, otherwise no one comes here to visit.

This is also normal, a county-level city wireless factory, it is good to be able to get the exhibition position.

At this time, there were only two people at the booth, a female translator and a male salesman, two people, a man and a woman, both of whom were a little embarrassed, and no one spoke.

After a long time, the female translator asked cautiously.

"Why are you leaders so irresponsible, and no one even showed up all morning!"

The male salesman was a little embarrassed, but retorted anyway.

"You are underestimating our factory director, he must have something important, didn't you see that other colleagues have gone out?"

The female translator gradually grew bolder, and hummed with some disdain.

"I think, they just took advantage of this rare opportunity to go outside to play, where is the prosperity of Yangcheng in the northeast."

The male salesman wanted to talk to the female translator about the factory manager, but after thinking about it, he still didn't know how to speak.

In Ningjiang Wireless Factory, Chen Can is a legend, and very mysterious, rumors about him, almost many employees have heard of it, but there is not much real contact.

So this male salesman didn't know how to say it, so he could only choose to be silent.

The reason why he was selected into the delegation is that he has a high level of culture, is a high Chinese credential, and is considered the next generation cultivated by Ningjiang Wireless Factory.

Until the afternoon, the two were so hungry that Chen Can and the others still did not appear.

It wasn't until a staff member from Liaoshen sent two boxed lunches to the two of them that they eased up.

Throughout the afternoon, Chen Can did not show up, until the museum closed and returned to the guest house, neither of them saw Chen Can and others.

It wasn't until more than seven o'clock in the evening that Chen Can and others rushed back.

The male salesman couldn't help it for a long time, and hurriedly went to Chen Can's room to ask.

Chen Can smiled and replied with a mysterious smile.

"Why do you ask so much, you'll know tomorrow morning!"

After speaking, Chen Can didn't even change his clothes, he fell asleep on the bed, and he was tired of tossing and turning back and forth today, and his mouth was dry, so he got things done.

What Chen Can didn't know was that just after he fell asleep, Deputy Director Chen of Liao Shen came to the door in person in a rage, and was about to come to think about the crime.

Today, Chen Can didn't show up all day, and he didn't even attend the meeting after the closure, which made the leaders very annoyed, unorganized and undisciplined!

Now that they heard that Chen Can and they were back, the leader directly brought someone to the door!

As soon as Deputy Director Chen wanted to push open the door, he heard Chen Can's thunderous snoring in the room, his fingers stopped on the doorknob, hesitated for a moment, and then let go, and did not push it open.

He suddenly walked towards another room, pushed open the door, and saw several people inside, all with tired faces.

Seeing the leader come in, several people were so frightened that they hurriedly got up, Deputy Director Chen smiled and waved his hand to let them continue to rest, and then asked a few people.

"You factory director, where have you been away from the exhibition hall today?"

Several people looked at each other, but in the end, one of them mustered up the courage and told each other where Chen Can ran that day.

Deputy Director Chen was a little confused at first, but as he listened, he nodded thoughtfully.

After Deputy Director Chen finished asking, he put his hands behind his back and quickly left, and when he passed by Chen Can's room, Deputy Director Chen said to the waiter.

"Don't bother him at night, prepare more hot water in the morning!" With that, he strode away!

Early the next morning, Chen Can Mali got up, he didn't know about last night's events, he took a shower, changed his clothes, and strode out of the guest house with a few people!
