Chapter 1826

They had experience, so setting up the exhibition after picking up the goods didn't take much time. The most difficult part was the first time; the first time is strange, the second time is familiar, and it was done in half a day. The rest was waiting for the hall to open the next day.

They even had experience with shifts, simply distributing them. Originally, it didn't count Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing, after all, they were the boss and boss lady, and with so many hands, it wouldn't be their turn to queue.

But Ye Mu was reluctant to leave after the exhibition was set up, and kept bustling about to help. She hadn't even strolled through such a big exhibition hall properly.

Ye Yaodong thought that the three of them should also take turns, do a shift, and let the others move around on their own, and come to take over the shift when the time came.

He didn't want to leave, didn't want to stroll. Such a big exhibition hall, nothing worth strolling. He had seen everything that should be seen last year, so he directly let his mother and his wife go out to stroll.

It was just right that he didn't need to walk around everywhere, move a stool and sit down, and wait until they finished strolling and took over the shift before going back.

Even if he went out now, it was to lead his mother to stroll somewhere outside.

He saved himself from walking here, otherwise, once he went out, he wouldn't be able to return to the guesthouse until dark. If he went out later, he could also walk less.

Lin Xiuqing actually didn't want to stroll through the venue much, but she still followed Ye Mu, explaining to her while walking.

Ye Mu was full of interest, "Such a big venue, how many people will there be tomorrow? Are they all those foreigners outside?"

"Yes, because of the Canton Fair these few days, there are large groups of foreigners here in Yangcheng, visible everywhere. Tomorrow there will be a sea of people here, I estimate you can see a lifetime's worth of foreigners in these few days."

"Those foreigners look strange, I really do want to take a few more looks. When I go back, I have to tell my old sisters."

"Wait until you finish looking here before going out to stroll. We only went to Shisanhang last year, and didn't go anywhere else. It's just right that you came over this year, let's take a look at everything together."

"Good, good, good, we have to look at everything, can't come for nothing. Who knows when the next time will be, I'm already old and stiff."

"You also know you're old and stiff, yet you could still slaughter everyone when grabbing goods yesterday, and then go back and groan."

"Oh, it's fine once it passes, I don't hurt anywhere today," Ye Mu quickly changed the subject, "Why is it so big here..."

"What you're looking at is just the tip of the iceberg. The exhibition hall has several zones, and we are exhibiting in batches. The Canton Fair lasts for half a month."

"Oh my, doesn't this mean all the people on earth have run to our country?"

Lin Xiuqing laughed when she heard her mother's simple description, "Mom, what you said is also correct. People from countries all over the world are running to us, coming to us to stock up."

"Understand, it's just like us going to Shisanhang to stock up yesterday. Then I estimate they look at our goods just like we look at those clothes, cabbage prices, so they grab them with all their might."

"Yes, that's also correct. As long as it's a hot-selling product, there's a queue at the stall waiting to grab an order. The earlier you order, the earlier you get the goods."

She also had a lot more confidence in the Canton Fair in the second half of the year, it would definitely be stronger than the first half. After all, they participated for the first time in the first half of the year, and it was the first time in history that the Canton Fair was opened to private enterprises, with no customer base at all. On the contrary, the second half of the year was different.

Most of the orders received at the Canton Fair in the first half of the year had already been shipped out on time, and even for those doing letters of credit, the other party's bank had paid on time when the goods arrived at the port.

Now communication is not developed, customers can't send emails if they want to reorder, and they can't make ocean-crossing calls. For this Canton Fair in the second half of the year, foreign customers of course have to come across the ocean to place orders.

The first half of the year can also be considered to have accumulated a little bit of customers, tomorrow definitely won't be deserted.

Ye Mu rubbed her hands, "I'll help you when you're too busy."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't laugh or cry, "They speak English, can you help?"

"What's impossible about that? Fingers can gesture, I don't really know how to speak Mandarin either, but I can still gesture to communicate with people."

"Fine, then you try tomorrow."

"No problem, I'll help you negotiate a few big orders then, and I can brag when I go back. I'm also someone who can talk business with foreigners..." Ye Mu felt it was funny herself as she said it, and couldn't help laughing.

"If you can really negotiate, that's amazing. I'll be your assistant tomorrow and write the orders for you."

"No need, you just show me the price, how to quote. Your mother also attended a literacy class and worked in the grassroots Women's Federation for a few years, I know quite a few characters. Isn't it just taking a pen and writing?"

"Then I'm counting on you?"

"I'll try... Hehe, it's just that these foreigners look strange, I don't know if I can speak when I see them tomorrow."

"It's fine, it's fine if you speak wrong, they don't understand anyway. You just gesture normally, just treat them as scarecrows. When we go over later, let A-Dong send you the price list, you don't need to memorize it, just check it temporarily."

"Alright."

Ye Mu's fighting spirit, which had just subsided after grabbing goods yesterday, was reignited, burning with a raging fire.

"Let's go, just take a casual look. It hasn't started exhibiting yet, some haven't even started setting up, it's empty and crude everywhere. It's just leaving people to watch after it's set up, let's look tomorrow."

"Then let's go, didn't you say you wanted to go outside to stroll?"

"That has to be later, wait two hours for someone to come take over the shift, then we'll go out. Go back to our own stall and show you the price list, you memorize it, check the things, have a number in your heart in advance."

"Alright then, then let's go sit in the exhibition hall, I'll memorize the quotation, Dongzi must be sitting impatiently."

The two walked back while talking.

Ye Yaodong had just finished smoking, boredly taking out his brick phone to play with the antenna, wanting to see if the signal reception was strong, and looked up to see them coming back.

"Why are you back so early? Don't you have two hours to stroll slowly?"

"Don't you want your feet? We still have to go out to stroll later, save your legs to stroll outside. Dongzi, show me the product quotation, and by the way, tell me about it, so I can help you tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong looked at his mother, but didn't say anything.

He had already imagined his mother relying on fluent Minnan dialect to communicate with people in English, talking like a chicken talking to a duck, and then signing a big order!

"Mom, I'll teach you English crash course, you only need to know two English words, it doesn't matter about the others, just use a calculator to press the numbers to quote."

"Ah? What English? Speaking foreign language? Really? Can you teach me?" Ye Mu was full of interest.

"You only need to know two words, that's enough. One is hello, one is Goodgood, that's about it."

Ye Mu awkwardly followed along to learn...

Incredible, she could speak foreign language?
