Sail across the sea

With the approval of Zhu Nian, Canghua Technology and Trade was able to have a small corner on the booth of Maolin Province to display its products, including chemical cleaning agents and vitamin E. The former has promotional materials and samples, while the latter only has A small display board was given.

At this time, Liao Derong had been fooled by Gao Fan to go to Cangtang. He was doing experiments on the synthesis of vitamin E catalyzed by rare earths in the laboratory of Canghua Science and Trade Co., Ltd., and obtained some laboratory-grade samples.However, these samples cannot be displayed, because it is necessary to use professional equipment to identify the purity of the original vitamin E powder, which cannot be done at the exhibition.

Even if Gao Fan puts a small bottle with powder in it, people don’t know whether it’s vitamin E or washing powder. After all, a person surnamed Bao from a lighthouse country in later generations did this kind of thing, right?

The Yangcheng Export Commodities Fair is China's largest foreign trade window in this era, and a large number of businessmen from various countries come to visit the exhibition and negotiate business.On the first day of the exhibition, Gao Fan saw the horror of the passenger flow. Those merchants with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple skin colors poured into the exhibition hall. Instantly rose several degrees.

It is not the first time for many merchants to visit the exhibition. As soon as they enter the exhibition hall, they go straight to the familiar booth.The booth of Maolin Province was crowded with dozens of people at once. Others in the exhibition group were prepared for this situation. They quickly got busy and greeted various merchants with smiles on their faces:
"Boss Chen, let's meet again. How is it? Have you gotten rich recently?"

"Mr. Ono, welcome to China!"

"Mr. William, the batch of clothes you bought last time, the sales are not bad, right?"

"Sir, are you interested in our tungsten ore products, let me introduce you..."

Among the foreign merchants who came to the Spring Fair, some are overseas Chinese who can communicate directly in Chinese, and some bring their own translators, and people from the Maolin Exhibition Group can also communicate with them in Chinese.Others lack the experience of participating in the Spring Fair, do not understand Chinese, and do not bring an interpreter. At this time, the interpreter of the Maolin Exhibition Group is needed to help.

The Maolin Pavilion has brought three translators, two of whom are English translators and one is Japanese translator.These three people have a high level of foreign language and enough experience, but when there are too many merchants on the scene, they are a little bit overwhelmed.

In this situation, it is not because Maolin Province is inexperienced, but because the number of places to participate in the exhibition is limited, and if there are too many translators, it will inevitably occupy the places of all exhibitors.When it comes to introducing products and signing contracts with customers, translation cannot be done, and it must be done by people from each unit.

Of course, things like quotas are actually linked to funding.Maolin Province is an underdeveloped province, and the Department of Foreign Trade does not have enough funds, so it cannot bring more people to Yangcheng.If you switch to those provinces with relatively developed economies, this problem does not exist.

"Xiao Gao, you are a college student, can you speak English..."

Zhu Nian, who was so busy, turned around by chance and found that there was a bored Gao Fan sitting in his booth, so he set his eyes on him.

The people in the Maolin Provincial Exhibition Group were busy, but the excitement belonged to them, and Gao Fan had nothing.The first merchants who came to the Maolin booth were all regular customers, and they came for a certain export product of Maolin Province.Gao Fan is a newcomer in the exhibition group. The chemical cleaning agent and vitamin E he brought were never exhibited before, and naturally no one paid attention to them, so everyone left him alone.

Zhu Nian was also seriously ill and went to the doctor indiscriminately. Seeing that the people he brought were busy, but Gao Fan was bored, he thought that Gao Fan might know a little English.After all, this kid is said to be a Peking University student, so he is better than those bosses and rough directors in the factory, right?

"English? I understand a little bit." Gao Fan said modestly.

"It's enough to understand a little. You can help the factory manager Wang, he can't compare with foreign businessmen." Zhu Nian ordered.

Gao Fan naturally knew the factory director Zhu Nian was talking about, since they were all from the same exhibition group after all.The boss of the Wang factory is Wang Yongxiang, and he is the factory director of Fengling Furniture Factory.Fengling Furniture Factory is a major foreign exchange-earning enterprise in Maolin Province. Several kinds of carved furniture they produce are well-known in Southeast Asia, and they export a lot every year, earning several million dollars in foreign exchange.

Speaking of which, Wang Yongxiang and Gao Fan still have a little feud, that is, when the members of the exhibition group gathered in Ruizhang, Wang Yongxiang saw Gao Fan and muttered directly, saying that this is another leader's child, How did you get into the exhibition group of the Spring Fair?The number of exhibitors is so limited, why are there so many aunts and aunts in here?

Wang Yongxiang was not the only one in the exhibition group who had this kind of misunderstanding about Gao Fan, and the reason was naturally due to Gao Fan's age.However, other people just showed some disdain in their eyes, but Wang Yongxiang said it directly.

Well, he was indeed muttering to someone, just a little louder, the kind that everyone in the conference room could hear.

At that time, Zhu Nian helped Gao Fan clarify, explaining to everyone that Gao Fan participated in the exhibition on behalf of Canghua Technology and Trade Company, and Canghua Technology and Trade Company exported chemical cleaning products to Japan in the past year, earning foreign exchange. More than 70 US dollars.

Hearing Zhu Nian's explanation, other people in the exhibition group who had misunderstood Gao Fan felt a little embarrassed, and they all said something like "Young people are awesome" to cover up their embarrassment.Only this Wang Yongxiang still looked like he was dragging, saying to others that more than 70 US dollars was nothing, maybe it was a blind cat who ran into a dead mouse, and picked up a mistake somewhere.

Who has heard of foreigners wanting to import chemical products from China?Foreigners are interested in traditional Chinese handicrafts, such as our Fengling carved furniture, which was particularly famous as early as the Ming Dynasty.Did China have chemistry in the Ming Dynasty?

These words were muttered by Wang Yongxiang in front of others afterwards, and the "others" relayed them to Gao Fan very kindly, and they may not have the desire to see Gao Fan and Wang Yongxiang tearing apart.

This Wang Yongxiang, because of the foreign exchange earned from the export of carved furniture, is quite self-confident, and he is very arrogant on weekdays, and he has offended many people.

Perhaps because of this, when several groups of merchants who do not understand Chinese flocked to the development area and the translators were too busy, everyone naturally left Wang Yongxiang aside and watched him scratching his head and making gestures with the merchants.

Zhu Nian knew that the two English translators in the exhibition group were deliberately embarrassing Wang Yongxiang, but they did it very cleverly, and Zhu Nian couldn't blame them.It happened that Gao Fan was idle, so he called Gao Fan to help Wang Yongxiang.
