Chapter 1124: Shining Brilliantly

Just as everyone was worrying about failing to retain the merchants, a group of European merchants surrounded them.

Because there were so many people, they asked questions incessantly in a jumble; some asked about the production process, others demanded inspection reports, and some even asked, "Can we visit the factory?"

Liu Chuxue had no time to translate for Old Zhou and the others, but fortunately she was well prepared and was not stumped by the merchants' questions.

After Liu Chuxue's final explanation, she said, "Our production standards fully comply with international norms; these samples are the best proof, and we can arrange a detailed introduction later."

After taking some product brochures, those merchants finally left.

After they left, Old Zhou hurriedly asked Liu Chuxue, "They seemed very interested in our products; why did they leave?"

Mi Aijun also crowded over at that moment: "Liu Chuxue, what were those foreigners asking just now?"

Liu Chuxue had been speaking for so long that she was extremely thirsty.

She did not answer their questions immediately; instead, she took the water bottle placed behind the display stand, drank several mouthfuls, and only then repeated what they had asked earlier: "Although that Malaysian merchant was skeptical of my explanation, I believe that after a comparison, he may return. As for those European merchants just now, they are indeed interested in our products."

Having worked the entire day without signing a single order, everyone suddenly felt a lack of confidence.

Seeing everyone in this state, Old Zhou quickly spoke up: "Today is only the first day; it is normal for merchants not to place orders immediately upon arrival. Everyone must not lose confidence. Alright, everyone has been tired all day; let's tidy up and go back to rest well. Perhaps there will be good news tomorrow."

However, for the next two days, not a single order was received, though quite a few merchants came to the booth to visit and inquire.

What Old Zhou and the others did not expect was that Liu Chuxue could not only speak fluent English and German, but also French and Russian; she could even speak a few words of Italian and Spanish, though not proficiently.

Even Wan Qing, who had always been at odds with Liu Chuxue, had to admit in her heart that Liu Chuxue was indeed far more capable than Qin Ruoyun.

If Qin Ruoyun had truly come to this event, they would likely have been completely at a loss, given the sheer amount of specialized content involved; the few daily conversational phrases Qin Ruoyun knew were simply useless here.

Liu Chuxue did not expect that the Malaysian merchant from the first day would return to the booth. After adapting over these few days, Liu Chuxue now explained things with greater calm and composure. Moreover, after closing the exhibition these past days, everyone gathered to summarize what was lacking that day, and then Old Zhou and the others would deliberate to formulate new explanation plans.

What Liu Chuxue did not expect was that their first order at the Canton Fair would come from that very Malaysian merchant who had stopped at their booth on the opening day.

Although the order was not large, it greatly boosted everyone's confidence.

Subsequently, those European merchants from before came back to the booth several times, and through everyone's efforts, they finally placed orders.

Starting on the fifth day of the Canton Fair, orders of various sizes were received every day; at least the phenomenon of zero orders no longer occurred, which made everyone even more excited.

On this day, a German merchant came to the booth and fired off questions in rapid-fire German: "Can the yield strength be stably maintained above 800 megapascals? How are the low-temperature impact toughness indicators?"

Liu Chuxue had explained these questions countless times over the past few days; she replied calmly in fluent German: "You can test it on-site. Our steel has been forged at a low temperature of -40 degrees; its impact resistance far exceeds European standards, just like the rocks of the Alps, which appear even more resilient in the severe cold."
