Sail across the sea

Of course Gao Fan remembered Wang Yongxiang's disdain for him before, but he never planned to argue with Wang Yongxiang from the beginning.From Gao Fan's point of view, Wang Yongxiang is just an old man with outdated thinking. As a time traveler with golden fingers, can he be bothered with such a person?

Hearing Zhu Nian's words, Gao Fan got up and walked to Wang Yongxiang's side. He spoke fluent English with the foreign businessman opposite Wang Yongxiang, and clarified the matter in a few words.

It turned out that the foreign businessman was named Nawin, a furniture dealer from Malaysia.As you already know, there are quite a few markets for Chinese traditional carved furniture in Southeast Asia. Several furniture companies in Malaysia have imported Chinese carved furniture, which sells well in Malaysia.

Nawin's company has not distributed Chinese carved furniture before. This time, he came to China to explore the way, and wanted to find cooperation with several furniture factories and act as their distributors in Malaysia.He just turned around the booths of several provinces, but he didn't find any display of carved furniture. Now he found that there were such products in the booth of Maolin Province, so he came in to inquire about the situation.

Gao Fan told Wang Yongxiang about these situations.Wang Yongxiang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately took out a stack of materials to introduce to Nawin.Now that Gao Fan has already started, he can only continue to be their interpreter.

The two sides talked for more than ten minutes, and Nawin's face clearly showed satisfaction.He accepted the information provided by Wang Yongxiang, claiming that he would go to other booths for comparison, and said that if the conditions of other manufacturers were the same as those of Fengling Furniture Factory, he would give priority to the products of Fengling Furniture Factory.

"Xiao Gao, did you hear correctly just now, did Mr. Nawin really say that he would give priority to us?"

Watching Nawin walk towards the booths of other provinces and cities, Wang Yongxiang asked a little uneasy.

"That's definitely what Nawin said. However, as the saying goes, Director Wang, there is no business without fraud. Let's just listen to Nawin's words, and you are not..., uh, I mean, There is nothing special about our Maolin, his promise is just casual talk."

Gao Fan swallowed a joke.He originally wanted to say that Wang Yongxiang was not a beautiful woman, so Nawin would not be obsessed with him, so he changed his words when he got to his lips.

He didn't know Lao Wang that well, so it's better not to say some witty words.

However, Wang Yongxiang didn't hear what Gao Fan swallowed back. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Xiao Gao, you are wrong. The saying that there is no business and no adultery is true, but it refers to us Chinese. You didn't If you have done foreign trade, you don’t know that foreigners are very honest. Since Mr. Nawin said so, he must have taken a fancy to our products.

"He said just now that his company is the largest in the furniture industry in Malaysia. If his company is willing to become a distributor of our Fengling Furniture Factory, our exports can at least double and we can earn more than ten million US dollars a year. It's not a dream either."

"Well, well, then I will wish Director Wang a prosperous business in advance."

Gao Fan shrugged his shoulders and casually said a compliment.

Nowadays, Chinese people really have a lot of misunderstandings about the word "foreign". The idea that foreigners must be honest is deeply rooted in many people's minds. Even Gao Fan's father, Gao Yiping, said this from time to time.

There are rumors about "foreigners" paying special attention to XX, or "foreigners" not caring about XX. To put it bluntly, it is the PUA of foreign businessmen to Chinese people. If you want to be slaughtered by others willingly, you should give a compliment after the slaughter is over. People pay attention to knife skills.

It wasn't until decades later that China and foreign countries completely reversed their roles in trade relations, and the lighthouse country that pushed for free trade became the stronghold of trade protectionism. Only then did Chinese people realize that the so-called "what about foreigners" fairy tales is fake.Only when the tide goes out can we find out who is swimming naked.

It is still the beginning of China's opening up, and Gao Fan can't explain this to Wang Yongxiang.

Besides, you don't know each other well, do you?

"Hey, Xiao Gao, if our cooperation with Mr. Nawin can be successful, you will be the first to do it. Tsk tsk tsk, college students are more capable than us. I heard you talk to Mr. Nawin, and there is no stumbling block, could it be Did you learn English in college?"

Wang Yongxiang praised with a shy face.When he said this, three points were really because he admired Gao Fan's English skills, but seven points were because he wanted to win over Gao Fan.He thought, in case another foreign businessman comes later, he still has to count on Gao Fan to save him, right?

As soon as he thought of this, two foreign businessmen really walked towards him.Wang Yongxiang went forward with a smile all over his face. He just said "Hello", and the other party babbled at him in a foreign language, and Wang Yongxiang was immediately dumbfounded.

Even if he doesn't know a foreign language, he can tell that the other party is speaking Japanese.

"You, the Japanese...do you work?"

Wang Yongxiang said this subconsciously.

God is sorry, he also knows such a sentence of Japanese.

Gao Fan had turned around just now and planned to go back to his place to catch the cat. Seeing this situation, he could only sigh softly, stepped forward and said to Wang Yongxiang:
"Director Wang, these two said that they are buyers from Japan's Early Jijiang Furniture Co., Ltd. They want to know whether your products have an agent in Japan, and if not, what are your agency conditions."

"Oh, oh... Hey, Xiao Gao, you still know Japanese!"

Wang Yongxiang nodded desperately in response, suddenly his mind flashed, and he couldn't help but looked at Gao Fan and asked in astonishment.

Gao Fan smiled helplessly, and said in a low-key way: "This... I understand a little bit."

The booth of a province is not very big, and Gao Fan "understands a little" here, and everyone in the exhibition group has seen it.Therefore, Gao Fan became the firefighter in the exhibition group without any suspense. When the translator was too busy, someone came to ask Gao Fan to help.

At first, everyone was a little embarrassed, thinking that it was not appropriate to send Gao Fan out of thin air.But seeing that others have asked Gao Fan for help, and Gao Fan's attitude is humble enough, everyone let go, "Xiao Gao Xiao Gao" is as casual as calling one's juniors to make soy sauce.

After a day's exhibition, Gao Fan's voice was hoarse, but he gained the friendship and appreciation of everyone in the exhibition group.Everyone made various promises to Gao Fan, such as inviting Gao Fan to their place as a guest, including food, lodging and sightseeing, and introducing some flowers in the unit to Gao Fan.

Hearing everyone happily exchanging their achievements, Gao Fan couldn't be happy.At the end of the whole day, none of the merchants cast a glance at the products in front of him.

The excitement belongs to everyone, and he has nothing.
