On the second day of the Spring Fair, there were still many people coming to the Bingshan Beverage Factory booth for inquiries, and the transaction volume was about US$300,000 a day.
Guo Shouye was so happy that he smiled from morning to night, and Chang Hongfa was also very happy.
Only Bingshan Beverage Factory can earn hundreds of thousands of foreign exchange every day, which is already very good. At least the tasks given by the province have been completed.
Waiting for the third issue, regardless of how many are sold, at least you won't be shaved off, which is good.
Xu Shiyan stayed here for three days and taught everything that needed to be taught.
On the fourth day, Xu Shiyan simply took Su Anying around to various exhibition halls.
This issue covers home decoration and so on. In these years, there were not many concepts in this area in China, and there were few related products.
However, Xu Shiyan still saw some ceramic products, ceramic tiles, toilets and other products.
What interests him most are several solid wood flooring factories.
Wooden floors have actually been around for a long time.
For example, some fastidious people in the northeastern forest area will use red pine boards, cut them into uniform specifications, lay them on the ground with nails, and then paint the whole board with red paint.
When the floor was new, it was really beautiful, smooth and shiny, with bright colors. Most people had to take off their shoes when entering the house, and they were carefully maintained in daily life.
In recent years, specialized wooden flooring factories have appeared in many areas to produce pure wooden flooring for urban decoration.
In places such as Dunhua in Jilin Province and Fushun in Liaoning Province, solid wood parquet flooring has been popular for some time.
Most of them are processed by forest farms using leftover wood and simply spliced with glue to make floors for sale.
This kind of flooring is not very high in terms of craftsmanship or quality, and the market feedback is average.
Therefore, in the past two years, solid wood flooring factories have begun to march to the southwest.
Southwest birch, beech, and teak floors began to appear, and small-sized floors gradually decreased while medium- and long-sized floors gradually increased.
Xu Shiyan took a look and found that the current floor had fewer flat joints and more tongue-and-groove joints.
Of course, at present, unpainted plain boards are still more popular to show the texture of the wood itself.
However, the boards of this kind of floor are too limited. To make a pure solid wood floor, it must be the best wood.
Moreover, due to the texture of the wood itself, this kind of pure solid wood flooring can easily warp and deform when exposed to moisture.
It is not as strong and durable as solid wood composite flooring.
Xu Shiyan turned around twice and didn't see any solid wood composite flooring, so he went up to talk to them.
"Hello, I would like to ask how you sell this floor and how much does it cost per square meter?
Is this the only kind of single-piece solid wood flooring now? Are there other types?"
Xu Shiyan was dressed very stylishly, and people thought he was some kind of Hong Kong businessman or overseas Chinese.
When he was looking at brochures and floor samples just now, the other party's attitude was very nice.
I kept telling him how good this floor was, it was a pure solid wood floor, durable, not out of shape or warped, the quality was absolutely guaranteed, etc.
As a result, when Xu Shiyan opened his mouth, he spoke Mandarin with a Northeastern accent. When people heard this, their expressions immediately changed.
"Tch, I thought he was a Hong Kong businessman or an overseas Chinese. I just looked through it and it took me a long time. It was all in vain."
"You think you're from China, why do you come here to join in the fun?
These are all exported goods. They are expensive. Can you afford them?"
The other party glanced at Xu Shiyan and Su Anying, with unhappy expressions on their faces.
"You? How can you talk like that? If you co-author foreign businessmen, you are superior to others, but your compatriots will be looked down upon?
What's the point?" Su Anying was very angry, glared at the man and asked.
"Aren't foreign businessmen just superior to others? They have foreign exchange and can buy things, but can you?
Can you afford it? You don’t know your identity day by day, and you still learn to dress like a foreign businessman?
When you open your mouth and speak, it smells like dirt, what are you pretending to be?"
As long as they were not facing foreign businessmen, these people were not afraid at all. They looked at Su Anying and said sarcastically.
Su Anying was about to open her mouth to fight back, but Xu Shiyan held her hand.
"Don't be acquainted with such people, there is no need.
We are just here to take a look around, so we don’t want to cause any conflicts with others.”
This is an exhibition, not a street food market, so there is no need to make a fuss with them.
Su Anying was still indignant, but Xu Shiyan was in a good mood, so he pulled Su Anying and walked to the booth next to her.
This is an area in a province in the southwest. Two adjacent booths should be neighboring counties.
Everyone here saw the quarrel between Su Anying and the other side, but they didn't say anything.
When Xu Shiyan and Su Anying came over, they didn't say they were impatient.
"Comrade, do you want to buy flooring, or are you just asking around?
I don't mean anything else. If you just want to inquire about things, there is no need to be here.
Let's find a place to chat after the exhibition is over." The person was very polite and handed Xu Shiyan a business card.
Xu Shiyan smiled when he saw it, took out a business card and handed it to the other party.
"It's true that I'm just asking around. I'm mainly interested in this."
The other party took the business card and looked at it, "Hey, you are from Ji Province, and you are the general manager of a ginseng industry company.
Your side produces ginseng, which is really good. Our side produces Panax notoginseng, which is also a very good medicinal material.
If there is an opportunity in the future, we can have a good exchange."
Xu Shiyan just took a look at the other party's business card. He was from the Commerce Bureau of a county in Yunnan Province.
"This is really good. Our company not only deals in ginseng and other local products, but also has a pharmaceutical factory.
The medicines currently produced require a large amount of Panax notoginseng."
Xu Shiyan smiled at the other party, but he didn't expect that a casual stroll would be really fruitful.
In the past, pharmaceutical companies purchased Panax notoginseng and Rhodiola rosea through organizational help.
In the future, the demand from pharmaceutical companies will become larger and larger, and it is not advisable to bother with organization. It is best to supply directly from the place of production.
"Well, I'll write you an address, and when the exhibition is over, I'll invite you to have a drink.
Let’s have a good chat and maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation.”
Xu Shiyan had a good impression of this person. Moreover, the pharmaceutical factory does need some medicinal materials produced in the southwest, such as Rhodiola rosea, Panax notoginseng, Dendrobium and the like. The demand in the future will be large.
Wouldn't it be great if we could find a suitable supplier and achieve win-win cooperation?
"Okay, okay, then I will go find you after the exhibition ends today."
The other party was very happy and hurriedly accepted the address and also wrote an address to Xu Shiyan.
Xu Shiyan chatted with others for a few more words, then turned and left.
As soon as the couple left, the person at the adjacent booth, the person who just mocked Xu Shiyan, glanced here.
"Well, let me tell you, some people are just idle. Why would you bother with that kind of person? Can he use foreign exchange to buy your things?
If you don't do anything serious, you don't know what you are here for?
Look at how many goods you have ordered in the past few days? I don't know how worried you are, and you are still chatting with people."
The people here were not annoyed and looked at each other with a smile.
"Well, you didn't talk nonsense with anyone, so how many did you sell?"
