A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 292 First Business Trip

China Import and Export Fair, also known as Canton Fair.

It was held in 1957, divided into spring and autumn, and was held in Guangzhou.

As the chief designer of the flagship product of this trade fair, Li Xiang also participated in this event with the team.

This is Li Xiang's first business trip in this life, and it is also the first official opportunity to visit other cities in this era.

When the son travels thousands of miles, the mother is worried.

Although Li Xiang is going with the team this time, his family members know rationally that there will be no problems.

But the preparations that should be made are still done.

From the food and medicine she put in her mouth, to the things she wore on her body, and finally the money and receipts, Mother Li checked over and over again, for fear of missing something.

"Remember, I put the big money tickets in two places, one on the top and one on the bottom, both inside the lining. I also have a little bit of pocket money in my coat pocket. You can spend it when you buy snacks, but the train You'd better eat less of the snacks that are served. I've put canned food and snacks in the bag for you, as well as a big roast chicken. It only takes about twenty hours, so it's enough to eat."

Li Xiaodi wanted to skip class and come over to deliver it, but was ruthlessly rejected by the elder brother Li Xiang.

Her words of retort made Li Yunyu speechless, and her original motherly love also cooled down.

Li Xiang, a small group of eight or nine people, was the last group, and they only needed to arrive two days before the trade fair started.

The day before leaving home, the whole family kept saying that they were reluctant to leave Li Xiang.

Li Xiang stood beside him and said, dumbfounded: "Mom, I'm an adult now, don't worry, I can't do anything wrong to myself."

Their train tickets are for soft sleepers, so they don’t have to squeeze in with people in ordinary carriages outside. There are only four people in a private room.

When they set off the next day, Qiu Fanghua was the only one who came to see Li Xiang off.

Li Xiang had been away for half a month this time, and the two young lovers who were in love could only say goodbye reluctantly.

Others go to work when they should go to work, and go to school when they should go to school.

"You'd better calm down. My brother is doing things for the country. Who can do anything wrong to him?" The eldest sister couldn't bear it and rolled her eyes.

It wasn't until the flight attendant repeatedly reminded Li Xiang that he got on the train.

This time, there were quite a few people from BJ's side going to the trade fair.

These eight or nine people are all elites, and they are naturally treated first-class along the way.

I finally resumed classes recently, so I’d better stay at school honestly.

Everyone's meals are delivered to private rooms by the flight attendants.

"You are my son no matter how old you are. Why am I not worried about this long trip? Why am I not with you on this National Day? If you can keep me company, I will feel more at ease." Mother Li showed some separation. Anxious, he simply ignored the other people traveling with Li Xiang this time.

At the end of the sentence, he seemed to think that he might give some points to his colleagues. He paused and then said:

"If you really don't have enough food, you should still buy what you should buy. Don't starve yourself anyway."

If he wasn't someone she recognized, it would be like leaving her son in the hands of a stranger.

Li's mother pointed to Li Xiang where the money was kept.

The starvation event in Li's mother's fantasy would never happen.

It's just that the large force has already arrived during the preparation period.

Although the food treatment is not as exquisite as at home, it is already very good as a meal for the trip, and you can also eat one meat and two vegetables.

There was no chance to eat the canned goods and snacks that Li wanted to bring.

The roast chicken was also shared with others.

It took him three meals a day just to deal with the lunch box Qiu Fanghua gave him.

Can't finish it, can't finish it at all.

The ride was calm and smooth.

Li Xiang didn't come across any of those shocking train stories.

Just like that, we arrived at our destination without any trouble.

They arrived at around eight o'clock in the morning, and the receptionist sent them to the guest house to let them rest first. Guesthouses are also divided into different levels. Li Xiang and the others lived in one affiliated to the city unit.

The room Li Xiang lives in not only has a sofa and coffee table, but also a separate bathroom.

The service staff is available 24 hours a day.

In terms of accommodation conditions, it is countless times better than ordinary guest houses.

After Li Xiang and the others had rested, the staff worked non-stop in the afternoon, leading them to the exhibition hall for a first tour.

It is said to be a visit, but actually it is an inspection.

This is the last check for the trade fair.

Li Xiang mingled among the big guys, looking at the exhibits shipped from all over the country as if they were rare.

Although daily consumer goods are still a major export category in the exhibition hall, what is surprising is that mechanical products also occupy a large position.

Various types of industrial small lathes, presses, etc. filled the exhibition hall.

At this time, although in terms of precision, our country is still far behind developed countries.

We can only ask for a share from others.

Machines that can be used for rough machining are still affordable to buyers because of their cost-effectiveness.

After the tour was over, the leader specifically named Li Xiang and asked him what he thought after the tour.

Li Xiang's self-confidence is just his own opinion.

Even though Li Xiang accompanied him all the way, An Anjing didn't take the initiative to make his presence felt.

But no one will ignore his existence after knowing his identity.

As a successful case of two inventions and marketing at home and abroad, he is also the designer of the flagship product of this trade fair.

Everyone from top to bottom has high hopes for him and his design products, and they all hope that the refrigerator will bring a breakthrough transaction volume to this trade fair.

Facing the leader's roll call, Li Xiang said what he could say at this opening.

Naturally, I talked more about the good aspects, and I just brushed off the less interesting aspects and didn't even mention them.

Just kidding, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at it, it will open the day after tomorrow.

Even if he mentioned the areas that needed to be corrected, there was no time.

Why is he talking so much?

At this time, it’s naturally hello, hello to me, and hello to everyone.

The next day's itinerary was still tight.

Li Xiang was stationed in the refrigerator area, leading everyone in the final debugging, and the product information was repeatedly confirmed with introducers and translators.

This caution is not without reason.

This area will definitely be the busiest place in all areas tomorrow.

To be on the safe side, be sure to be absolutely prepared.

Later, as a translator, I saw that Li Xiang was also very proficient in professional foreign languages ​​such as English and Russian, not just at the oral stage.

In addition to being impressed and amazed, he also asked him to look at the introduction of other products in the exhibition hall.

Little did they know that Li wanted to master more than just these two subjects. In this year's birthday lottery, he won the prize of being proficient in five languages.

There are also French, German, and Japanese, he has them all hidden.

Time when you are busy always passes quickly.

After everyone practiced it over and over again, night has come quietly.

Everything that needs to be done has been done, all we have to do is wait for the east wind to blow.
