After wandering around on the train for five days, the group finally arrived at the station and arrived at the city at the forefront of reform and opening up.
The moment we got off the train, everyone's legs felt weak, as if they were stepping on cotton.
Some people feel as if they are still on the train, swaying.
Younger people are better, but older people feel like their whole bodies are falling apart.
Just like that, we left the station and went straight to the hotel we had booked in advance.
Everyone just lay on the bed motionless and slept all day. When they got up the next morning, they felt much better.
You can't be idle here. In the morning, all representatives from the province will have a training meeting to emphasize discipline.
For this kind of large-scale event, everyone must act in unison, and no one is allowed to go out privately, let alone have any contact with anyone in private.
Nowadays, discipline is still very important. If anyone does not abide by discipline and causes trouble, then the quota will be cancelled, and there will be no chance again.
There will be a meeting and training in the morning, and in the afternoon I will go to the train station to pick up the exhibit samples that were shipped in advance, and the next day I will go to decorate the booth.
Here we are hurrying to finish things, and the third phase of the Spring Fair has begun.
Fusong is a place specially approved by the province, and the booth is arranged in a slightly remote location, so that the merchants who are waiting for a while can't hang around here.
So Lin Qiyue and Secretary Guan were chatting there.
"Oh, after two days here, I finally realized what the true southern speed is, what time is life, and efficiency is everything. It's really different.
Our side is still developing slowly, but if you look at the south, everything is trotting along." Lin Qiyue couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, compared with others, we are several steps behind. They are running and we are walking. It is too difficult to catch up."
Secretary Guan also felt the same way. What he saw and heard in the past two days was really eye-opening.
The differences between the north and the south and the speed of economic development make people particularly yearn for the south.
Xu Shiyan couldn't say anything about this. The differences between the north and the south were already obvious at this time.
While the South has already stepped forward and is running with all its strength, the North is still showing off as a big brother and swaying, so how can it catch up? The gap will only get wider and wider.
While we were chatting, a staff member suddenly came over to remind us that foreign businessmen had arrived, so everyone cheered up.
Xu Shiyan and others quickly arranged their clothes, straightened their work badges on their chests, raised their chests and raised their heads, and were full of energy and ready to go into battle.
A group of merchants walked in front, accompanied by staff specially arranged by the exhibition to explain.
However, there were few lecturers and many merchants. Many people couldn't wait to listen to the lectures, so they scattered around to look around and choose the products they liked.
Some people were strolling around, then came to a booth and stopped to watch.
One section of the booth is only about one meter in size. Lin Qiyue, Guan Enxue, and Li Jingming, standing behind the booth, are already so crowded that they cannot turn around.
Xu Shiyan and someone from the pharmaceutical factory could only stay behind the leader.
Seeing someone coming, Lin Qiyue quickly handed over the brochure they brought.
The merchant received it and found that it had Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean and other texts on it, describing the product in detail.
Especially for the testing and identification of Changbai Mountain red ginseng, there is a photo of the identification certificate in the brochure.
At the end of the brochure, there is a very vivid and exciting story.
This made many people think it was quite novel, and many people reached out to ask for the brochure carefully.
Others came over to ask Secretary Guan and Lin Qiyue behind the booth about the products.
Neither Guan Enxue nor Lin Qiyue understands foreign languages, and the staff responsible for the exhibition arrangement are too busy at the moment to take care of them at all.
Lin Qiyue was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't even explain what he was talking about.
"What's wrong with this? We don't understand each other's language."
But Lin Qiyue was so anxious that so many people finally came, but they couldn't understand. Isn't this a delay?
No, you must train a few specialized translators when you go back, and you can't wait until no one uses the real seal.
Here, Lin Qiyue and others were anxious to get angry. On the other side, the provincial leaders also noticed that the situation was different.
Originally, the province allotted Fusong a quota, just with the attitude of giving it a try, but he really didn't expect that in such a short time, there would be so many merchants here.
When the provincial leaders saw it, they quickly arranged for two accompanying translators to help answer the foreign businessmen's questions.
After two translators came over, Lin Qiyue's pressure suddenly eased a lot.
At this moment, he simply pushed Xu Shiyan to the front and asked Xu Shiyan to introduce him and the two staff members to translate.
No one knows the product better than Xu Shiyan. Through his vivid introduction, the merchants also understood the functions of the product in front of them.
Ginseng products are mainly targeted at some people in Asia, especially East Asia, and they are more accepting of them.
"The Evil God"
Especially the instant ginseng honey tablets, many people are particularly interested in them.
Xu Shiyan was flexible and took the opportunity to open a few bottles and gave each merchant a small independent package, indicating that they could open it and taste it.
Some people are brave enough to open it immediately, take out the honey tablets and put them in their mouths.
Ginseng is soaked in fine honey. The sweetness of the honey neutralizes the bitterness, so the first thing you feel in the mouth is the sweetness of honey, and then the aroma of ginseng.
"This honey slice is a secret recipe passed down from the ancient palace. You must know that the ginseng from Changbai Mountain was a tribute to the royal family and could not be enjoyed by ordinary people."
"Those emperors' concubines are able to stay young and beautiful because they eat ginseng every day."
"Especially this kind of honey tablets are made from the finest Changbai Mountain ginseng, top-grade linden tree snow honey, and other precious medicinal materials, and are refined through dozens of processes."
The above paragraph is all made up, just to increase the story and persuasiveness.
"We used the secret recipe of the palace and combined it with modern technology to create the new ready-to-eat honey tablets. The honey tablets are rich in nutrients, have high medicinal value, and are very convenient to eat."
"This kind of instant honey tablets is aimed at high-class people who are busy with work and don't have time to stew soup for nourishment.
Then you can carry some honey tablets with you, and when you think of it, you can take it out and eat one anytime, anywhere.
For example, when waiting for the bus or elevator, it can be used as a snack without delaying work, but the effect is much better than a snack.
Especially for those mental workers and office white-collar workers, it is a very suitable nourishing product.
It can resist fatigue, enhance resistance, and relieve sub-health conditions." Xu Shiyan explained to these people while distributing honey tablets.
"Then this kind of small glass bottle can be consumed in the office or at home.
Take one or two tablets and brew them with hot water to drink them as tea. The effect is also very good."
Xu Shiyan opened another small can bottle and let others see inside. Compared with the plastic-sealed one, there was more honey in it and it was better soaked in water.
The brochure and on-site tasting have already attracted many customers.
Coupled with Xu Shiyan's introduction, especially I heard that it came from a secret recipe of the palace and was used by the royal family in the past.
How could those merchants hold back? They immediately came forward and asked Xu Shiyan about the price of the honey slices.
Xu Shiyan and Lin Qiyue discussed this before coming here.
For a small jar of ginseng honey slices, two and a half sticks of fresh ginseng are used as the standard. Just use one stick. The cost of the ginseng alone is about ten yuan.
Including honey, packaging, and labor, the total cost does not exceed fifteen yuan.
The price suggested by Xu Shiyan was eighteen US dollars.
Calculated at the current exchange rate, it can be converted to thirty-six yuan, which is still a roundabout way to earn twice as much.
The weight of the plastic package is small, but the ginseng used is large and the requirements are high.
The cross-section of the slice should be no smaller than a five-cent coin, and each slice must be in perfect condition, amber and slightly transparent.
So despite the light weight, the quality is higher and the packaging process is more complex, so the price is $11.
As for the gift box, each box contains two glass bottles and two plastic bottles, and the price is $64.
When setting up the booth, Guan Enxue asked about the quotation. At that time, Xu Shiyan and Lin Qiyue had a tacit understanding and deliberately lowered the price.
The main reason is that I am afraid that if the stated price is too high, the county will interfere.
The other one also wants to see the reaction on the spot. If the merchants on the spot have high ordering intention, the price will definitely go up. Who comes here not to make money?
Therefore, when Guan Enxue heard Xu Shiyan's quotation, his hands trembled with fright.
