Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 410 Canton Fair

After a good sleep, Gu Weijun always had a smile on his face after going to work the next day. At noon, Director Zheng teased him, "Hey, Xiaolin is back from Yunnan?"

"It's almost time. I received a letter yesterday saying that I'm on my way back."

"She worked really hard this time. It was deep in the mountains and old forests. She told me about our comrades. She was really very respectable. It took her a long time to get used to it. It's still snowing here, and it's always snowing over there. Sweating all over."

"It's troublesome to eat, drink and so on."

"Isn't it hard? Just think about Savage Mountain during the Anti-Japanese War." Director Zheng only slightly changed the topic to the recent Canton Fair, "But it's a pity. It is estimated that when Xiaolin comes back, the two of you will Out of reach again."

"The Canton Fair requires the cooperation of all members of our Economic Department, not only for translation work, but also for sorting out the transactions at the Canton Fair in recent years, and then discussing subsequent export foreign exchange issues with the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Planning Commission and the Economic Commission. ”

"What?" Gu Weijun almost jumped up, "Sister Zheng, how come this job is arranged for us? This should be the work of the Ministry of Foreign Trade?"

"And I said before that we will cooperate with the translation work at the Canton Fair. Didn't everyone from our company, Xiao Li, go there?"

Director Zheng glanced at him angrily, "Who makes someone stand out in this foreign introduction work, especially when more than 140 trading countries and regions applied to participate in the Canton Fair."

"Urgent report from the Ministry of Foreign Trade."

The other one also asked Zheng Chao to help arrange people to pay attention to the Shichahai side so that Zhang Siming would not cause trouble. As Director Zhao returned to the Municipal Bureau to take charge of the work, Zheng Chao also returned to the Municipal Bureau as the director of the Political Department.

Gu Weijun could only smile bitterly, "There were quite a few people who came to participate before. Hasn't this reception work already formed a fixed process? Last year, a new Guangzhou Hotel was built to solve the problem of housing some foreign guests."

"We have introduced so many projects this year, we must not continue to expand our foreign exchange earnings! Stop complaining, go home and pack your things after get off work, and set off tonight. After reporting to Leader Zhou at the end of the month, we can come back!"

On the one hand, if there were any problems with the small-scale production of remitidine, I would not be able to find it myself. On the other hand, Zhu Jue had to start the microbial culture of coenzyme Q10 first;

"By the way, Ambassador Huang will return to China at the end of the month to report on his work, and the ministry will also arrange for you to pick him up at the airport."

What Gu Weijun had for lunch was nothing but the same thing. His relationship with Zhu Jue had just been slowly warming up, and he was ready to make persistent efforts. I just threw out Coenzyme Q10 to seize the opportunity, but ended up going to Guangzhou again.
There was no other way. Since everything had been decided, he could only obey. After work in the evening, Gu Weijun ran to several places, including Nanluogu Lane, Shichahai, and Beichizi Street.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, we arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport after a 2 and a half hour flight on the Trident passenger plane newly introduced last year.

At this time, Baiyun Airport was located in Tangxi and Tangxia in the urban area of ​​Guangzhou. It had been renovated twice since the 60s, with the runway extended to 2500 meters and an additional area of ​​72 square meters.

It was almost early in the morning after we got off the plane. The jeep arranged by the Guangzhou Municipal Government was waiting directly at the airport for Director Zheng and Gu Weijun of the Economic Department, as well as Xiao Li, who came in advance to do the translation work. A total of two jeeps drove all the way to the city government guest house in the night. Because Gu Weijun and the others arrived late, they could barely squeeze out a room for the three lesbians, Director Zheng and Xiaozhuang, while Gu Weijun could only stay in Xiao Li and Xiao Zhao's room. A camp bed was added to the room.

However, they couldn't rest immediately after arriving. Director Zheng and Gu Weijun were called directly to the conference room of the city government.

The conference room was still filled with smoke, and we reviewed the problems discovered during the past three days at the Canton Fair. "There are too many foreign businessmen coming this time. Even if there is a Guangzhou hotel, it is still not enough to stay? In addition, what about the cars used by foreign businessmen?" It’s not guaranteed, how to solve this problem?”

"In addition, in the past few days, foreign businessmen have reported that our prices after price adjustments are too high. If this problem is not solved, the turnover will not increase!"

"Also, the products provided by many provinces are very similar, and they are put out in a swarm. Should we make a distinction?"

"There is also the problem of dyeing our textiles. Foreign businessmen have been reporting that our textiles are easy to fade. We can't always sell gray fabrics, right?"

People from various departments in the conference room spoke enthusiastically. Of course, it was not just about problems, but also achievements. “Our local specialties, such as tea, soybeans, pig hair, etc., as well as porcelain and handicrafts, this year’s export quota It’s a huge increase compared to the same period last year.”

After Gu Weijun and Director Zheng came in, they consciously found a corner, opened their workbooks and started recording, listening to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Planning Commission, Economic Commission, and Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee's daily work summary of the Canton Fair.

The meeting lasted until 2 o'clock in the morning. After Gu Weijun returned to the temporary dormitory, he tiptoed to brush his teeth and wash his face. There was no hot water in the guest house, so he could only wipe it with cold water. It was already quite hot in Guangzhou in April. , I didn’t even have time to change my clothes when I came back from the capital and went to a meeting. I was sweating all over.

The full name of the Canton Fair is China Import and Export Fair. The current location is the China Export Commodities Exhibition Hall at No. 1 Yiyi Road. It is a 10-story building complex with a total area of ​​more than 1 square meters.

A red banner hangs at the entrance of the main entrance: China Export Commodity Exhibition; a bust of the great leader hangs directly above, two great red banners hang on both sides, and on the top of the building is a red slogan: Forever Loyal.
Gu Weijun arrived before 8 o'clock the next morning. He first walked around the exhibition with Director Zheng, covering industrial products, local specialties, light industry, etc. Once he left, he really discovered the problem, and then followed Director Zheng whispered a few words.

Director Zheng immediately informed Director Fang of the foreign trade department about this situation, and the latter quickly contacted the Guangzhou Municipal Government to urgently rearrange the exhibition and separate handicrafts and light industrial products.

Waiting until 10 o'clock to prepare for the official opening, Gu Weijun came to the door and saw, oh my God, this is the first time I have seen so many foreigners with different hair colors in China. There are thousands of people, densely packed and waiting in line outside. Come in.

As soon as the door opened, foreign businessmen rushed in and started to visit according to their interests. Gu Weijun was temporarily assigned to the automobile machinery area. In addition to part-time translation, he also recorded the information and needs of visiting foreign businessmen.

The first to come were about a dozen Japanese people. They must have visited here before. This time they went directly to the agricultural machinery booth and the light vehicle booth to request purchases. They were especially interested in light trucks produced in China. interested;
Then came merchants from Southeast Asia and Africa, who were more interested in agricultural machinery and Chinese motorcycles. Of course, the African brothers were most interested in Dongfanghong's locomotives.

Gu Weijun pretended not to speak Japanese and communicated with the Japanese delegation in English. Through their whispered conversations, it turned out that they were a Japanese automobile company: Isuzu.

Hey, what's this?
Who is Li Gui?

Who is Li Kui?
