Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 237 Foreign Businessmen
The group returned to the guesthouse chatting and laughing.

Yang Zhenyu and Xu Haichao lived in one room, and the female comrades were arranged in two other rooms.

The next day, the trade fair officially began, and Yang Zhenyu brought people to their own booth. This was one of the few manufacturers in the entire trade fair that set up their own booth.

"Engineer Yang, is our location bad? Why haven't any foreign merchants come here in such a long time?"

"Don't worry. Although our location is not the best, it is not bad either. At this time, many foreign businessmen will definitely go to their familiar partners to negotiate first, and then visit the venue. We just need to wait patiently." Yang Zhenyu said.

Yang Zhenyu was not in a hurry at this time. He came here just to try it out.

If it doesn't work once, try it twice. Besides, with so many foreigners, you will always meet foreign businessmen you can get along with.

Yang Zhenyu was not in a hurry over there, but the people accompanying him were extremely anxious. They all hoped to close the order as soon as possible.

Of course, there were also foreign businessmen who came around, but when they saw the steel rolling mill's exhibition area, many of them just looked and left, and few came forward to ask questions.

"Can you understand what they are saying?" Xu Haichao asked several female comrades who were accompanying him.

"I don't understand." Several people shook their heads.

"They are still interested in our exhibits, but they plan to observe them for a while," said Yang Zhenyu.

"Engineer Yang, can you understand?" Xu Haichao asked curiously.

"They speak English. I'm a researcher and many important documents are in English. I know a little bit of it," Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

These foreign businessmen are also quite interesting. They are very familiar with the domestic market and know that there are many similar products, but the prices are very different, so they want to compare the differences.

Of course, Yang Zhenyu had no intention of actively soliciting customers, because this was the first day, and he also needed to observe whether there were any foreign businessmen who could cooperate with him for a long time, so he was not in a hurry.

That afternoon, Yang Zhenyu saw a familiar figure, an acquaintance he hadn't seen for many years.

"Maybe, we will have a good harvest this time." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

Xu Haichao looked at Yang Zhenyu in confusion. How could it be successful?
You haven't had any contact with foreign businessmen so far, right?

Yang Zhenyu smiled without explaining. He was waiting for the acquaintance to come over. As long as he came, everything would be easy.

"Mr. Lou, long time no see!"

That’s right, this acquaintance is Lou Yeqin, also known as ‘Lou Bancheng’, whom I haven’t seen for more than ten years. I just didn’t expect to see him here.

"Are you, Mr. Yang?" Lou Yeqin looked at Yang Zhenyu for a while before confirming.

The main reason is that over the past decade or so, Yang Zhenyu has long lost his youthfulness and has become much more mature. Moreover, the scholarly aura within him is becoming stronger and stronger, which is also what makes Lou Yeqin unsure.

"It's me." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Haha, good, good. I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime." Lou Yeqin laughed.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lou at my first trade fair. Should I say this is fate?" Yang Zhenyu also laughed.

"It's fate, it must be fate." Lou Yeqin excitedly held Yang Zhenyu's hand and refused to let go for a long time.

"Mr. Lou, what are you doing?" Yang Zhenyu asked curiously. "What are you talking about? I'm here to participate in this trade fair. Of course, this is not my first time here." Lou Yeqin said.

"I remember that when I participated before, we were all organized by province. Why are you guys..." Lou Yeqin couldn't help but look at the big words "Red Star Steel Mill".

You know, this factory was founded by him. After so many years, looking at these big words, it seems like a lifetime ago.

"We are also willing to give it a try according to the arrangement of our superiors to see if we can make the factory rejuvenate," Yang Zhenyu explained.

"Well, such an attempt is necessary, but these things..." Lou Yeqin said, pointing at the exhibits in Yang Zhenyu's exhibition area.

"These are all displayed as export models. They are all products made in recent years. You may know some of the products back then. These are improved on the basis of those products. What do you think? They look good, right?" Yang Zhenyu explained.

"Not bad, more than not good. I am really excited that the steel rolling mill can produce such products." Lou Yeqin said.

"Let's go and sit over there." Yang Zhenyu said, pointing to the seats in the exhibition area.

"Okay, then sit for a while." Lou Yeqin nodded.

"Wait a moment, let me see how to arrange the guests here." Lou Yeqin said, looking at a group of people not far away.

After a while, Lou Yeqin brought a group of people to the exhibition area.

"They are also interested in the products of the steel rolling mill, so they came here together," explained Lou Yeqin.

"You're most welcome." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"You guys talk about business first, and we'll talk slowly later." Lou Yeqin signaled Yang Zhenyu to seize the opportunity.

Yang Zhenyu naturally would not be polite. The purpose of his trip this time was to establish good relationships with some foreign businessmen.

"Please let Mr. Lou introduce us." Yang Zhenyu nodded to several foreign businessmen.

"This is Mr. Jonathan from Australia..." Lou Yeqin began to introduce these people...

"Nice to meet you, I'm from..."

Yang Zhenyu speaks fluent English, which surprised several foreign businessmen.

"Hey, I didn't expect Mr. Yang's English to be so fluent. I can't hear any accent at all." Jonathan gave Yang Zhenyu a thumbs up and said.

"Thank you very much." Yang Zhenyu thanked politely.

"I just heard from Mr. Lou that everyone is very interested in the things in our exhibition area. I wonder how much you are going to order?" Yang Zhenyu said, pointing to the things behind him.

"We do have some interest, but we've read some information from other manufacturers and know that your prices aren't much different..." Jonathan shook his head.

"To be precise, the situations of our manufacturers are similar. From the price point of view, there is indeed not much difference. Especially after the adjustment by the State Planning Commission, this is not surprising." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Yang, you are very honest, but we think we still need to compare the two companies more." Jonathan shook his head.

"It's reasonable to compare prices from different stores, but Mr. Jonathan, I think our Red Star Steel Mill is your best choice." Yang Zhenyu said confidently.
