After settling down at the Light Industry Guest House, Chu Heng and the others had a hasty meal, and then hurried out the door without even taking a breath.
Gu Yongnian is going to have a meeting at the secretariat of the conference, while Chu Heng is going to attend a banquet organized by a foreign affairs office for foreign businessmen and representatives from the commerce ministries of other countries, and make contact with some big businessmen and representatives from the commerce departments of various countries in advance.
The same goes for the rest of the people, who all have jobs of one kind or another.
In a Stepunk car that is almost older than Chu Heng.
Chu Heng, who was tired from traveling and traveling, leaned on the hard seat a little tiredly. While looking through the information of this Spring Fair, he asked the manager Xu Rui: "How is the layout in the exhibition hall? There is no problem with the progress.
Bar?"
"No problem. We started setting up the venue five days in advance. We have plenty of time." Xu Rui didn't rest much after he called here. He looked very haggard and even a little thin.
"Have those batches of leaflets been delivered?"
"It's been delivered, and it's all stored in the warehouse of the exhibition hall."
"Has the poster been put up?"
"It's posted. According to your request, posters promoting the company's products have been posted in the elevator rooms, entrances, and corridors of each floor in places such as the Oriental Hotel and the People's Building."
"Has any merchant contacted us in advance?"
"Yes, and there are quite a few. In addition to those products that have always been popular, this time they are also very interested in our new bicycles, radios and other products."
The two took advantage of this gap to chat about work, and unknowingly arrived at the venue of the banquet, the People's Building.
The People's Building was originally called Ai Kwan Building. In 1934, it was invested and built by Hong Kong Ai Kwan Life Insurance Company. It is 15 stories high and 64 meters high, with an arcade along the street on the ground floor.
Since the first Canton Fair, this place has been responsible for the accommodation of foreign businessmen.
In 1966, an 18-story new building was built on the east side and the entire building was renamed the People's Building. Later, it was renamed Aiqun Building.
After Chu Heng and Xu Rui arrived at the place, they took the temporary IDs given by the conference office and entered the building smoothly. Then they went to find people from the Foreign Affairs Office and learned about the banquet procedures and some precautions.
After understanding it clearly, the two of them went to the lounge prepared for foreign affairs personnel, waiting to attend the banquet later.
When they arrived at the lounge, there were already many people in the room, mostly people from national-brand foreign trade companies. Chu Heng knew most of them, and those he didn't know had basically met them before.
"Hey, Mr. Liu, Mr. Li, you came quite early."
"Mr. Chu? I asked your people over there this morning and they said you haven't come yet."
"I arrived in the afternoon, and I was called here before my butt was even warm."
"Haha, you'll get used to it in the future. Everyone is so busy at the two Canton Fairs every year that they hit the back of their heads. I'm going to have a work meeting after attending the banquet here."
"It's all for gm!"
"Yes, yes."
After Chu Heng came in, he sat down next to a few familiar people and communicated with each other for a while. At about 4:30, people from the Foreign Affairs Office came to the lounge.
"Comrades, the banquet will start soon. You can enter in advance. Please pay attention to diplomatic etiquette."
"It's about to begin."
"Let's take a walk, I'm already hungry."
Chu Heng and others immediately came out of the lounge and went to the banquet hall on the second floor.
At this time, many foreign guests had arrived, of all colors, almost more than a hundred people, chatting in groups of three or two throughout the banquet hall.
Chu Heng stood at the door and glanced around, and soon found a few merchants invited by his light industry company. He quickly went to the wine area to get a glass of champagne, then found those merchants and chatted with them for a while.
At five o'clock, the guests began to arrive and the banquet officially began.
First, a leader from the Ministry of Commerce took the stage to deliver a speech, and then a leader from the Foreign Affairs Office also came up to say a few words, and then announced the start of the banquet.
In the sound of melodious music, some people walked towards their favorite dance partners, invited them to step onto the dance floor and dance gracefully.
However, the people who go to dance are only a minority after all. The people who came here today are either businessmen or people from the commercial departments of various countries. Everyone is here just for the Canton Fair and to discuss business. How can they have any leisurely dancing?
So, after the leader made the announcement, most people in the room ran around with wine glasses in hand, looking for interested people to communicate with.
Chu Heng did the same. He immediately went to find a staff member of the business department in Upper East Germany and chatted with him about the situation in East Germany's electronics industry.
Not long passed.
Xu Rui came to him and gave him a look, indicating that he wanted to see him if he had anything to do.
"Ah, sorry, I have to excuse myself first."
"Please."
"We'll talk about it later. I'm still very interested in the electronics industry after returning to China."
Chu Heng smiled and bowed, walked aside and asked Xu Rui, "What's wrong?"
"There is a French businessman who wants to talk to you about bicycles, what do you think?" Xu Rui said.
Check out the correct version one by one!
"I'll go over there and wait. You can bring people over." Chu Heng pointed to an empty table in the rest area not far away.
"Okay." Xu Rui left in a hurry.
After Chu Heng went to the beverage area to get a bottle of soda, he came to the sofa next to the table and sat down, drinking.
A few moments.
Xu Rui led two blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners towards him, and led an interpreter.
When Chu Heng saw it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
These two people were actually his acquaintances. It was Gale Gree and Cornel Hott from Sellers who, when he was selling truffles last year, teamed up with other merchants to lower the price.
As for Chu Heng, who had made them suffer greatly, the two brothers had a very deep impression. It could even be said that they knew him even if they turned into ashes, and they discovered him at the first time.
When they saw Xu Rui leading them straight towards Chu Heng, the two brothers were immediately dumbfounded.
"Damn it, it couldn't be Chu, right?" Gree's heart sank.
"Isn't he in an agricultural product company?" Holt frowned.
"How do I know?" Gree scratched his hair irritably.
After a while, General Heng Ha was led to Chu Heng by Xu Rui. Just as he was about to introduce him, Chu Heng stood up with a smile, made a gesture of surprise, and stretched out his palm: "We meet again, Mr. Gree and Mr. Holt."
"Yes, Mr. Chu, long time no see."
The two of them also shook hands with him happily.
There is no motive in the business world. Even though they were scheming before, now they are just as good as father and son in order to make money.
Well... on the surface it is.
"Please take a seat." Chu Heng spoke fluent English and enthusiastically asked the two of them to take a seat.
When the translator saw this, he glared at Xu Rui and turned away.
Ya speaks English better than I do, what do you want me to do?
