Chapter 266 Never seen anyone who dares to blow so hard
The venue arranged by the organizer of the expo for the Chinese delegation is located in a corner of the entire exhibition area. 200 square meters of space sounds like a lot, but when Cui Hongchun came to the exhibition area with a group of people, he discovered that his venue was the smallest.
The booths rented by large foreign companies often cover thousands of square meters, the size of two or three basketball courts. It’s no wonder, because this is an agricultural machinery exhibition, and the tractors and other equipment brought by some companies take up a lot of space. The organizers put the exhibition
The arrangement to hold it on such a farm also took into account the needs of the venue.
"Wow, their tractor is so beautiful!"
"Is this used for plowing? Why do I think it's cleaner than the car we took in the capital..."
As soon as Ning Jing and Qin Shan walked into the exhibition area, they were blinded by the advanced machinery. The two little girls stared intently at the booths of those Western manufacturers, unable to move their feet.
People from other companies in the delegation also had the same feeling as Jing Jing and the others, including officials such as Wang Changsong and Cheng Feng from the Agricultural Machinery Department. However, their thoughts were one step further than Jing Jing and the others. They felt that
, the Ministry of Agriculture organized a group to participate in the exhibition this time, which really seemed to be asking for abuse.
"The gap is huge!" Cui Hongchun was also unhappy in his heart, but as the team leader, he could not express his frustration. He said calmly to Qin Hai who was following him: "Xiao Qin, this time we
Whether you return with honor or leave in disgrace, it all depends on you."
"Minister Cui, haven't we already known about these differences? We didn't come here to compete with them in machinery." Qin Hai didn't feel any pressure in his heart. As a time traveler, he knew that sooner or later, China would be able to create these seemingly
Incomparably high-end equipment, and this time they came to mainly display basic parts. After three months of preparation, Qin Hai was confident enough to steal the show at this exhibition.
"Xiao Jing, Xiao Shan, don't look around. Come and work!" Qin Hai shouted to Jing Jing and Qin Shan who were dazzled.
Only then did the two girls come to their senses, and quickly ran to Qin Hai with shy smiles, waiting to listen to his instructions.
"Come on, let's start setting up the exhibition. You two will help Section Chief Leng and Brother Liu set up the stage..." Qin Hai began to make arrangements. Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling who were following him were both workers.
This kind of work is no problem at all. I rolled up my sleeves and started to clean up the place.
As soon as they started here, other people also followed suit. Those who unpacked boxes one by one, and those who moved props, started working in full swing. However, among this large group of people, most of them were leaders in the company and were enthusiastic.
Although it was enough, the strength and skills were not enough. Only a few people on Qin Hai's side were used to manual labor, and they were responsible for more than half of the entire exhibition arrangement work.
"Well, next time there is an exhibition like this, we really need to bring a few young people over, even girls like Xiao Ning and Xiao Qin." Cui Hongchun muttered to Wang Changsong as he went off to work in person.
"Minister, please rest, Xiao Cheng and I can work more." Wang Changsong said to Cui Hongchun through gritted teeth with sweat dripping from his forehead.
Cui Hongchun snorted and said, "I think your work is not as good as mine. At least I did some manual labor when I was sent down."
"Yes, yes. In fact, I have done manual labor in the countryside in the past, and I just worked in an office these years. My working ability has deteriorated..." Wang Changsong responded with shame, while in his heart he was cursing those people in his subordinate companies: "Ni!"
Ma, when you come out to set up the exhibition, you don't arrange for a few younger people to come over. If it weren't for the few people Qin Hai brought with you this time, I would have been responsible for this.
Those Western companies hired local workers to help them set up their exhibitions. Seeing a group of middle-aged officials who looked like officials in the Chinese delegation sweating hard at work, the idle exhibitors gathered around and spoke in various languages.
Pointing at the booth of the Chinese delegation.
"Xiao Jing, go over and have a chat with them." Qin Hai used a wrench to twist the universal joint on the bracket and shouted to Jing Jing who was placing the equipment with Qin Shan.
"What did you say?" Jing Jing came over and asked in a low voice with her eyes widened.
"I asked you to go talk to those foreigners." Qin Hai said with a smile.
"I don't dare!" Jing Jing pouted, "Also, why do you want to talk to them?"
Qin Hai pretended to scold you with a straight face: "Why did I bring you here? If you don't chat with foreigners, why are you going abroad? Didn't I strengthen your spoken English before going out? Go and see the one in red.
If you don’t have a foreign sister, go and say welcome to her.”
"Is that all I have to say?" Jing Jing was a little moved. She was originally a bold girl. If no one encouraged her, she would naturally not dare to talk to those strange foreigners casually. But now with Qin Hai's orders,
She couldn't help but really wanted to try it.
"Let me say something first. By the way, take Xiaoshan with you." Qin Hai explained with a smile. He asked Ning Jing to chat with foreigners instead of Qin Shan, naturally because he knew that Qin Shan was not as courageous as Ning Jing.
Da. Once Anjing leaves, he will definitely take Qin Shan along with him.
Sure enough, when Ning Jing heard this, she jumped up and ran to Qin Shan's side. Qin Hai saw her whispering to Qin Shan, and Qin Shan's face showed fear and nervousness, and she kept shaking her head.
Start. But Ning Jing is not someone to be dismissed easily. Without any further explanation, she pulled Qin Shan to a blond beauty who was watching.
"He...Hello, how_are_you?" Ning Jing greeted the foreign girl with a stuttering voice.
When the foreign girl saw two beautiful Chinese girls running up to her and actively greeting her, she couldn't help but giggle and replied: "Im_fine, how_are_you?"
"Im_fine_too!" Jing Jing replied fluently. The spoken English of high school students in small counties at that time was basically scumbag. Fortunately, Qin Hai spent half a month to strengthen her and Qin Shan's oral English. She was still able to have such a simple conversation.
Cope with it.
"Shan'er, what should we say next?" After Jing Jing answered the other party's greetings, her mind was empty and she quickly asked Qin Shan for advice.
Qin Shan was not as courageous as Jing Jing, but she was more calm. Although she was nervous, her brain was sufficient. She mustered up her courage and asked the girl: "Where_are_you_from?"
"Oh, I_come_from_Scotland.Have_you_heard_of_Scotland?" The foreign girl was even happier. She giggled and chatted with Jingjing and Qinshan.
As soon as the other party's words became complicated, the two girls were a little unable to react. They subconsciously turned back to look at Qin Hai, only to see that Qin Hai had already dropped the wrench and walked over with a smile.
"Why don't we talk anymore?" Qin Hai asked.
"We don't know what to say..." Qin Shan's face was so red that she almost bled.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Think carefully, you can answer this question. Don't be nervous. People won't care whether your pronunciation is accurate, because English is her mother tongue for her and a foreign language for you. How about you?"
You can still speak a few words in English, but she can't even speak a word of Chinese, so she admires you very much."
"Actually, we only know a few words..." Qin Shan said in a low voice. She felt a little more confident in her heart. She carefully organized her words, and then began to chat with the other party about her knowledge of Scotland.
As soon as she calmed down, Tranquility also entered the state, and she would insert a few words from time to time. The Scottish girl had never chatted with a Chinese before, and she felt it was so new, so she also tried hard to find simple questions and Tranquility. Qin Shan Er
The three people talked more and more, and the three of them became more and more congenial. After a while, they were laughing together.
Everyone found it interesting to see the three girls chatting together. Then when they saw Qin Hai standing aside, some people tried to strike up a conversation with Qin Hai. At first, everyone felt that Qin Hai's English was probably different from that of the two girls.
Basically, he was limited to being able to carry out daily conversations. Once we started chatting, we discovered that Qin Hai was as proficient in using English as his native language. So more and more people came up to talk to him.
"According to my impression, it seems that this is your first time participating in this expo, right?"
"Sir, what products do you plan to display? To be honest, I'm really curious."
"Is the person working over there really your minister? The cake seller, I always thought that Chinese officials are very strict. I never thought that a minister would do such menial work with you..."
Qin Hai answered everyone's questions with a smile while getting to know the companies they represented. These exhibitors at the exhibition are both competitors and partners. It is very necessary to become familiar with each other.
The products Qin Hai brought this time were mainly basic parts used in farming machinery. If they can be recognized by foreign farming machinery manufacturers, it means that they can easily enter the international market.
"Because the distance is too far, we did not bring large-scale machinery to the exhibition this time. We mainly brought some basic parts, including plowshares, rake blades, rotary tillage blades, etc. We very much hope to cooperate with you on basic parts.
Each company cooperates and communicates." Qin Hai said to everyone.
"What technical level can the basic parts you produce now reach?" one exhibitor asked casually.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "We have brought several different grades of basic parts. The mid-grade ones can basically reach the current international average level. As for the high-grade ones, there is no reference yet. According to my guess, it should be
It is the highest level that could be reached internationally only in the early 1990s."
"What did you say?"
Qin Hai's words were like a stone thrown into a pond, and it immediately caused a stir. Everyone looked at Qin Hai with wide eyes, and some people wondered whether the young man in front of them had poor English skills and expressed the wrong meaning.
.Everyone doesn’t know much about China, but they still have some basic judgments. To say that China can produce some products that can catch up with the world’s advanced level, everyone can barely believe it. Now Qin Hai actually says that his products can reach the international level.
Compared with the level in the early 1990s, doesn't this mean that all manufacturers present are inferior to China in terms of technology?
I have seen bragging, but I have never seen anyone dare to brag so harshly. This was the common thought of everyone at this moment.
