Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 438 Brother, Do You Remember Me?
Early the next morning, Cheng He and Bai Qian took Cheng Xinxin to the exhibition center to start the first day of exhibition.

The exhibition is new, and it is a branch hall. It is estimated that there are not many merchants coming, and they can handle it, so they did not bring anyone over.

For the first year, just come and test the waters and explore the market.If the situation is good, we will expand the scale next year.

The booth was set up yesterday, and today we just need to pull the curtain, wipe off the dust, and wait for the customers to come.

After sitting on the bench for more than an hour, the merchants gradually increased.

Generally, for such an exhibition, the experience is that there are the most merchants on the first day, the first three days are okay, and then gradually become deserted.

Therefore, in the first few days, I still have to cheer up, and it is one more customer to be able to receive one more customer.

Bai Qian's oral English ability is much better than Cheng He's, so in terms of reception, Bai Qian is the first to take the lead, and Cheng He will record anything.For example, customer characteristics, what are the needs, and see if they can develop into real customers.

This can be regarded as a seamless fit.Since there are not many merchants coming, they will not be too busy.In the morning, I also received two customers who were more interested, and left contact information for each other.

So, after the client had enough time to catch his breath, Bai Qian counterattacked Cheng He: "Yesterday, so-and-so laughed at me! Hmph, if the tiger doesn't show its power, you treat me as a sick cat."

Well, be arrogant every day.

Cheng He tapped her on the head and said, "Not bad, good job, keep up the good work."

Cheng Xinxin ran around in the store, playing with her own toys, and sometimes when no customers came in, she would sit on her father's lap and act coquettishly.

In fact, with her here, it has also attracted a lot of popularity.Many merchants who have never seen a foreign child think this child is so cute, and they can't help but want to stay longer and look at the store.

In addition, the strong Chinese style in the store is still very eye-catching among all the American stores.

Thanks to this golden shop, the rate of merchants entering the store on the first day was still very high.It is estimated that the popularity of the second and third floors is incomparable with the ones here, and the fifth and sixth floors will be crying blind.

In the afternoon, a very unexpected customer came into the store.

It was a black African man who shook hands with Cheng He as if meeting an old friend when he entered the store. He looked very excited when he met an old friend in a foreign country.

After being excited for a long time, this guy pointed to the pictures of Peach Blossom Village hanging on the wall by Cheng He and talked about it. Only then did Bai Qian understand that this guy had been to Peach Blossom Village last time.

The English accent of the Africans is very heavy, which sounds difficult, but while speaking and making gestures, the main idea is understood.

The last time Taohua Village was affected by the celebrity incident, and then was attacked by public opinion for a while, and when the Internet was infinitely hacked, a group of foreign tourists happened to come.

When these people got on the tour bus and went back together, they were attacked by someone, and they made the news because of this.It just so happened that, through the mouth of the news, the origin of Taohua Village's buildings was told to the world, and Taohua Village showed its face.

Their group of foreigners visited Taohua Village for a week or so before leaving, and they also brought positive public opinion in Taohua Village, which can be said to have contributed a lot.

And among that group of people, there does seem to be a black man, the son of the eldest son of Africa?But Cheng He didn't care too much.After all, the person receiving him is not himself.

He also greeted those foreign tourists and entertained them for a while, but he was not the main force, so he didn't remember who was who.

In addition, to him, black people seem to look the same, as long as they are of similar height and shape, he really can't tell who is who.

Even if this guy is holding Cheng He's hand enthusiastically now, he can't recognize that the black man in front of him is the one who went to Peach Blossom Village not long ago-he has slight face blindness to black people, and he can't tell them apart if they look alike .

Well, in fact, the black man didn't recognize Cheng He, but recognized the photos he hung on the wall.

He stayed for a full week for the rural-style buildings in Taohua Village, and studied them carefully for such a long time that he knew them as soon as he saw them.

That's why he was so excited when he saw Cheng He.

The black man said that he came from Africa and studied architecture in the United States, so after seeing the exotic rural architecture of Taohua Village in a magazine last time, he liked it very much, so he went to visit with everyone.

Last time I only stayed for a week and left. I didn't understand many problems, which is a pity.Now I happened to see the photo posed by Cheng He, and I was really ecstatic. Seeing Cheng He was like seeing a relative.

Perhaps Africans are naturally enthusiastic?
Cheng He didn't understand, but since this guy has entered the store, let's talk to him too, anyway, it's not very busy now.

The black man's name is Freeman, and he came here today just to visit and play. He is not a buyer of handicrafts.

Logically speaking, an idler like this would not be able to get in without getting the buyer's certificate, but he also met some friends, mixed up a buyer's certificate, and followed in.

When he came in, he just took a look. If he came across one or two beautiful handicrafts, he didn't rule out the possibility of buying them back.Of course, it is impossible to place an order.

His father is Youchang, and as Youchang's son, if he could give his Youchang father some presents from time to time, it might increase his impression in his father's heart.

Hmm, the eldest son of his is not very lucky. He has a hundred brothers and sisters, and his father may not be able to tell who is who.

Africa is so big, who can understand the national conditions of a certain country.

It is said that there is a chief who has more than 3000 wives and concubines.This one in front of me may be luckier.

This Freeman is very chatty and enthusiastic, and he can hardly finish talking with Cheng He.Seeing Cheng Xinxin's whiteness and cuteness, she felt like an angel.

After chatting, he asked Cheng He about Taohua Village.For example, the architect, the history of the village, and so on.

I also asked these questions last time, but the English-speaking tour guides didn't explain these questions very clearly, and they didn't understand them that well.

Cheng He was not stingy about his convenience, he said everything he knew.

In fact, Cheng He didn't know much about Africa.Almost all the knowledge comes from some movies, such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Red Sea", "Hotel Rwanda", "Blood Diamond" and so on.

So his impression of Africa is always those: war, plague, poverty, laziness, epidemic, primitiveness, famine and so on.

For Africans who can go to college in the United States, this surprised him a bit.

He also knows that there are some Africans who have the opportunity to study in China, and are even despised and looked down upon by many people because of their bad style, but this one, he feels a little different.

At least it doesn't seem that bad.

Especially judging from his attitude towards architectural aesthetics, he seems like a serious person.

Anyway, there were not many merchants at this time, so Cheng He chatted with Freeman first.After all, there are customers waiting in the store, and it seems to be more popular.

For a newly opened exhibition, you can't expect how popular it is. It would be nice to receive a few good potential customers.

While chatting, Cheng He suddenly saw a group of people passing by, and Cheng He's eyes lit up.

He saw Henry.

On New Year's Eve, Cheng He received a call from the United States, claiming that there was an old man in his family, who might be from Taohua Village, and wanted to ask him about the situation in Taohua Village.

At that time, Cheng He heard that an overseas Chinese who wanted to return to his hometown had forgotten his hometown, and he carefully checked his genealogy.

The old Chinese recognized his hometown only by a New Year gift from his son, a gadget he played with when he was a child, and he must come back to see it.

That elderly overseas Chinese was Cheng Erxi.And this Henry in front of him is his son.

Henry was born and raised in the United States, and received an American-style education. Except for the Chinese blood flowing in his body, he is almost a pure American.

Of course, the color of skin can't be changed, and his behavior style is somewhat inherited and influenced by his father.

Henry walked by with a group of people of various skin colors today in suits and leather shoes. He glanced at Cheng He's shop, and then said hello to his friends. He turned back alone and entered Cheng He's shop. shop.

The main reason is that the decoration in this store still has some characteristics, a bit of Chinese-style brick wall stickers, you can see the difference just by looking at it.

Henry walked into the store, shook hands with Cheng He, and asked, "Hello, brother, do you remember me?"

Of course, he speaks English, and he can only speak a little bit of Chinese, and he can't speak fluently, so he can't communicate normally.

Of course Cheng He remembered him. He recognized him when he led people past just now, and he didn't expect to see him here.Moreover, in terms of seniority, they are of the same generation, so they should be called brothers.

Henry told Cheng He that he has shares in this branch exhibition, and today is the first day of the exhibition, and he specially brought a few big customers over.These customers are all merchants from all over the world, and if he takes them personally, it will appear that he attaches more importance to merchants.

Cheng He thought instantly: If Henry is one of the owners of this convention and exhibition center, then he reserved his golden booth, right?
