Chapter 883: Commercial Delegation

~34 min read 6,670 words

"Good!"

Upon hearing Fu Caining's introduction, Director Liu's eyes lit up. He sized up Li Xuewu once more and, with a heavy pat on his shoulder, exclaimed that he was good.

Li Xuewu couldn't tell if this man was praising him for being good, or praising his father-in-law for having a good eye.

Fu Caining subsequently introduced him to the bigwigs from China Travel Service, Bank of China (Hong Kong), and Xinhua News Agency.

Sitting beside the Xinhua News Agency bigwig was Ji Ruixuan, who was a person in charge of a certain department at Xinhua.

Li Xuewu wasn't entirely clear on what exactly he did; Ji Wang Weidong had even said his father could manage film production.

In Hong Kong, there were only a few companies where we could produce our own films: Great Wall, Phoenix, Sun Luen, and so on.

These companies would eventually merge into a larger film and television company, and their scope of operations would be no smaller than that of the Rolling Mill.

In any case, the cadres working in Hong Kong at this time had very wild methods; it seemed they could do anything.

Once the people in the room learned that Li Xuewu's father-in-law was Gu Haitao, their attitude toward him changed.

Especially after Ji Ruixuan took the initiative to bid farewell and leave following a brief exchange of pleasantries with Li Xuewu, he introduced Li Xuewu's family background and brought up his daughter's marital ties to the Li family. The others nodded slightly, showing appreciation, and kept the young man's name in their hearts.

Nonsense. Even if Li Xuewu's family background didn't have the connections of the other brothers, based on Gu Haitao alone, they would have to treat him with special regard.

Now that it was mentioned that Ji Ruixuan's youngest daughter was engaged to Li Xuewu's third younger brother, and that Li Xuewu's eldest brother and sister-in-law were both instructors at Huaqing, it was different.

Listening to Ji Ruixuan casually recount Li Xuewu's achievements in the capital, no matter how high their status was, how could they be so arrogant as to not see Li Xuewu?

Was "young talent" just an empty title?

This remark made by Director Zhang would inevitably become Li Xuewu's label in this circle, the kind that no one would dare to question again.

Li Xuewu was also surprised as to why he could enter this room and get to know these bigwigs.

Selena couldn't explain it clearly, stating bluntly that she was acting under orders. Li Xuewu himself couldn't figure it out either.

Relying solely on his relationship with the Ji family didn't seem enough for Fu Caining to call him over to introduce these people.

If it were an ordinary bigwig, Li Xuewu would certainly dare to sit down and haggle with them, talking about successology.

But in front of these true gods, there was no need to show timidity; he just needed to greet them properly and leave.

More talk leads to more mistakes; what is lost is not just one's own impression score, but possibly the face of the connections behind him.

His initiative to bid farewell and leave actually made him appear sensible. As a small deputy division chief, what ability did he have to sit and discuss matters with them?

Getting to know them today was a kind of potential relationship, not easily used.

As for whether Ji Ruixuan would tell them about his arrangements in Hong Kong, he was not worried at all.

Ji Ruixuan and Fu Caining might trick him, but they would absolutely never trick Ji Wang Weidong.

Li Xuewu could wash his hands of it in the mainland, but Ji Wang Weidong was right there in Hong Kong.

Furthermore, the couple's move today also had the motive of drawing him out. If there really came a day when it was needed, I'm afraid Ji Wang Weidong would step to the forefront.

Bigwigs do things with their own considerations.

Li Xuewu had set up such a large stall and pulled Ji Wang Weidong into the partnership; with the marital ties bound together, he naturally had to think for him.

Another thing, he still had Gu Haitao standing behind him. If the couple wanted to help their son ascend, they would inevitably have to support Li Xuewu.

Even if Ji Wang Weidong achieved something in the future, these people would all know Li Xuewu's position in it.

For every point Ji Wang Weidong advanced, Li Xuewu's influence would also increase by a point.

This is called a game within a game.

Li Xuewu's arrangements not only calculated everyone in, but also included future developments and changes.

Ji Wang Weidong stood up from Li Xuewu's plate; in the future, he would be the one standing in front of Li Xuewu to move upward.

Although Li Xuewu's name would not appear on the list of any company related to Hong Kong, he existed.

Where?

In the hearts of these bigwigs who control resource allocation.

It sounds very complicated, but it is not just an interest relationship; there is also human sentiment and emotion mediating it.

For any key position, what Li Xuewu needs to pay and maintain is not just interest.

He only does this for workers; partners must consider comprehensive factors.

Do you think Li Xuewu's care for Han Yating is purely simple?

Conversely, was his care for Ji Yuxiu premeditated?

Neither. It is wrong to simply say Li Xuewu is scheming and calculating too much.

If you say he has no selfishness and no arrangements, Li Xuewu wouldn't dare guarantee that.

But if you say he took the initiative to climb these relationships just for his own interest, then you underestimate him too much.

The establishment and maintenance of any relationship has a purpose, including dating.

Li Xuewu can fully grasp the scale, so that family affection and emotion will not be broken because of interest relationships; this is his network.

Selena couldn't explain clearly why she brought Li Xuewu here, but she saw Li Xuewu's performance here very clearly.

Who was sitting in the room? Li Xuewu didn't know, but she knew them all.

The "insider" Li Xuewu thought of when he entered the room, and the other party regarding him as an "insider," were two concepts.

One is broad, one is narrow; the difference is huge.

Selena had worked at Ng Fung Hong for many years, but she hadn't become an "insider." Li Xuewu had just met them and entered this circle.

It can also be said that after she finally knew Li Xuewu's background, she understood that Li Xuewu was already in this circle; he was just getting to know new connections.

No wonder she had tried so many times and hadn't succeeded; it turned out he was wary of these things.

She thought Li Xuewu was purely talented, bold and careful, brave and resourceful; she didn't expect it to be like this.

Of course, she wasn't disappointed; after all, Li Xuewu's "grassroots" background, being able to walk to this day, was also the result of his personal efforts.

After all, they had been married for less than half a year; who could say he was advancing rapidly because of his father-in-law's connections?

She wasn't disappointed, but rather a bit lost.

It might have something to do with the circle she could never enter, or it might have to do with Li Xuewu, whom she could never get.

Li Xuewu asked her two questions, heard that her mood wasn't high, and didn't ask about this topic again.

"Where are we going next?"

"Didn't you want to see high-end merchants~"

Selena glanced at him and said, "I'll take you there now."

"Oh, didn't you just say there weren't any~"

Li Xuewu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Were you lying to me?"

"Just now was just now."

Selena looked at him and said, "Just now I still dared to have improper thoughts about you; now, can it be the same?"

As she spoke, she suddenly stopped, reached out to help Li Xuewu tidy his clothes, and added, "Since you came out of that room, it means you are qualified to see anyone here."

"Is that so~"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of regret, "I didn't expect there to be threshold restrictions everywhere."

"..."

Selena looked at him speechlessly and said, "Are you serious?!"

This damn thing is also called a threshold for you!?

You damn well were already inside the threshold!

I should be the one saying this! You still have an expression of regret! I haven't even spoken yet!

"Of course~"

Li Xuewu said very seriously, "I wish for peaceful coexistence in this world, for everyone to interact with sincerity, and for there to be no barriers forever."

Selena twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Li Xuewu with drooping eyelids. She finally knew what it meant to talk nonsense with a straight face.

Li Xuewu had already entered the door, so of course he would say that, but he would definitely be more active than anyone else in maintaining the unspoken rule of the threshold.

Every industry is the same; special circles and status naturally have thresholds. Only by everyone maintaining them can this vested interest be ensured.

But these people are also very good at saying nice things, just like Li Xuewu is now.

"Let's go, I hope those foreigners can appreciate your 'sincerity'!"

"Aren't you a foreigner yourself~"

Li Xuewu walked by her side, nodding and smiling at people looking over from the second-floor corridor.

These people were looking at him because they saw Selena, including the fact that he had just gone to that room with Selena.

He took the initiative to nod and smile, and these people also returned the smile in surprise.

Who is this person?

Not only were these people puzzled in their hearts, Li Xuewu was also puzzled. He wanted to ask Selena to introduce him, but he could see that her mood wasn't very beautiful.

Who cares who he is? Greet first; smiling and nodding means you know each other. We'll talk next time we meet.

Selena ignored Li Xuewu's smiling social interaction, rolled her eyes, and said, "My appearance is that of a foreigner, but my heart is fiery red."

"Let me see?"

Li Xuewu teased her on purpose, turned his head, and carefully looked at her "heart."

Hmm, don't say, this heart is really big, white, especially white.

"Do you want to find a place with no one around to look carefully?"

Selena wasn't annoyed by Li Xuewu taking advantage of her, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said, "If looking isn't accurate, you can try it with your hands."

"Forget it, time is tight, the task is heavy."

Li Xuewu shook his head with regret and said, "Next time, next time I must try."

"Hmph~"

Selena tilted her neck, revealing a swan-like neck, turned her head, and said, "If you have the heart of a thief but not the guts of a thief, you won't be able to eat the fat meat~"

"Don't worry, it's a matter of time~"

Li Xuewu followed her into a corridor and saw another scene.

What kind of goods are the most attractive at the Canton Fair?

The answer is raw materials and handicraft goods, or regional resources, which have non-replicable attributes.

When it comes to manufacturing, the domestic heavy and light industries have just completed reforms; achieving self-sufficiency is not yet possible, let alone impacting the international market.

Why are industrial goods put on the trading table?

It's not that there are too many in the country that aren't needed, but that now there is a greater need to take these things that we temporarily can't use or can't afford to use and exchange them for money to continue supporting economic construction.

Turning back to raw materials and handicraft goods and other regionally restricted resources.

Some of these are things we temporarily can't process or produce, some are urgently needed to exchange for foreign exchange, and some are helpless moves.

Therefore, in the export commodity catalog for Beihai that Selena showed him, the most prominent ones are grain, oil, and food, aquatic and marine products, native products, medical and health products, hardware and mineral products, handicrafts, fireworks and firecrackers, and livestock products.

Light industrial goods and textiles and clothing as representatives of light industrial goods are shown at the very end.

It is particularly interesting here that fireworks and firecrackers are an important category of export commodities; they sell a lot and sell well.

And medical and health products are not the large amount of finished Chinese medicine or various varieties of Western medicine that everyone imagines, because there is no shortage of Western medicine outside, and they are even less willing to hand over the profits of processed Chinese patent medicine to the mainland.

Therefore, what is shown in this part is the relatively bulk Chinese herbal medicine trade.

Such as cassia bark, poria, Chinese yam, codonopsis, panax notoginseng, astragalus, eucommia, licorice, etc.;

Of course, there is also Chinese patent medicine; this part has formula protection properties, and they can't make it outside either.

Li Xuewu is relatively familiar with Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Pills, Honeysuckle Dew, Baoji Pills, Cod Liver Oil, Pearl Powder, etc.

Li Xuewu also found the medicinal liquor products mentioned in yesterday's discussion meeting, such as special effect multi-whip liquor, sea dog liquor, maple lotus three-snake liquor, sea snake liquor, etc.

This category is a project for the Rolling Mill to cooperate with the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and it is a key direction for export commodity research and development.

Li Xuewu spotted them at a glance from the transaction statistics list provided by Selena.

And in the medical trade, the Western medicine category is relatively shabby, including hydrochloric acid, tetracycline, lysine, citric acid, limulus reagent, vitamin C, etc.

Major sales regions include Hong Kong, Macau, Western Europe, Oceania, Southeast Asia, the United States, Japan, etc.

Selena showing this information to Li Xuewu was not to disturb his thoughts, but rather to provide him with a procurement weather vane for this trade fair.

It is convenient for him to grasp first-hand information and direction in the subsequent commercial interactions.

As the main trade direction for the southern exit, Beihai Port's export commodities are relatively representative.

Especially for Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia, it can explain the problem very well.

Of course, the content of export commodities Li Xuewu sees does not include special agency commodities.

Such as fruits, vegetables, and other special grains, oils, pork, etc., this part is sold by Ng Fung Hong as an agent for export.

It is uniformly allocated and counted within the agency scope of Ng Fung Hong, so it will not be specific to a port.

Selena was originally a manager at Ng Fung Hong responsible for agency business, so obtaining these materials was still easy.

Li Xuewu also saw sports equipment, toys, furniture, handicrafts, radios, canned goods, textiles, leather shoes, and leather products, etc., that he was relatively interested in from the transaction list.

These are all goods that the Rolling Mill's third-industry units are producing, or goods that the recycling station is producing in conjunction with the First Prison.

Since others can sell them, the Rolling Mill, which has channel convenience, can do these businesses even better.

As for the rest regarding steel, coal, electricity, oil, machinery, and textile industry, he also paid attention to them; these are all related to the Rolling Mill's existing major industrial projects.

Commercial trade has the characteristic of multilateralism; a comprehensive enterprise absolutely does not just engage in one-sided trade activities.

Isn't Li Huai De's active interaction these days just to realize the Rolling Mill's strategic goal of groupization as soon as possible?

Being able to fully absorb and accept multilateral trade and meet production needs in many aspects is a major feature of a group company.

Seeing Li Xuewu holding a pencil and ticking on the document, marking many commodities, Selena reminded him not to be greedy and chew more than he can swallow, and to be careful of indigestion.

Li Xuewu didn't care too much; the Rolling Mill has absolute volume and scale. By uniting with cooperation units in Beijing, Steel City, and Jilin City, it can absolutely pull up a supply chain-type group company.

Li Huai De downstairs is contacting the leaders of the 17th Factory, but Li Xuewu is disdainful of copying the other party's development model.

The success of the 17th Factory is not accidental; gathering the industrial strength of the whole country to build the automobile industry, not succeeding would be the accident.

And this kind of success is comprehensive, and it is also necessary to bear corresponding responsibilities and burdens.

To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.

The Rolling Mill is currently in a process of high-speed development; there is no need to choose to bear heavy economic burdens for the sake of taking a shortcut.

In terms of resource allocation, the Rolling Mill absolutely cannot catch up with the 17th Factory; in terms of human resources, it cannot get active support from other units.

Therefore, if the Rolling Mill wants to realize the grand goal of groupization as soon as possible, it must share success with the resources it needs and the people who can allocate resources.

Li Huai De is very optimistic about the future of the Rolling Mill and regards the groupization of the Rolling Mill as a springboard for his leapfrog progress. How could he allow others to touch it?

Li Xuewu is also full of confidence and desire for the groupization development of the Rolling Mill, and even more so, he does not allow anyone to covet this cake.

Therefore, if you can't let others profit, you must share success with brother units.

Including Beijing Chemical Plant, Glass Factory, Leather Factory, etc., through third-industry integration and the cooperative relationship of subsidiary factories, to jointly realize rapid progress.

This kind of third-industry or technical cooperation is the supply chain production model created by Li Xuewu.

Compared with an all-around leader like the 17th Factory, this model has a certain risk of chain breaking, but while bearing risks, it is also enjoying this rapid development opportunity without burdens.

You can't have both fish and bear's paw; without absolute economic strength and construction guarantees, the Rolling Mill can only dance on a tightrope.

If the higher-ups approved 100 million for the Rolling Mill every year, he absolutely wouldn't play these tricks; he would develop honestly and be more cautious than anyone else.

What does the Rolling Mill have?

Isn't it just a complete rolling steel system, a steel mill that isn't very big, a worker volume of more than 10,000 people, what else?!

What else is it?!

If it cannot realize groupization and cannot surpass the development speed of city-managed units to realize the promotion from city-managed to ministry-managed, then the Rolling Mill can only lose development opportunities and live by guarding these 10,000 people.

Then what's the point of this factory of more than 10,000 people!

Except for success, the Rolling Mill has no other choice!

"Alright, no matter how much information you read, it's not as good as trying it yourself."

Li Xuewu's gaze swept over Selena's headlights; just now the other party seemed to have said he could try.

Closing the notebook, he raised his head and pointed to the small meeting room opposite, saying, "Let's go, start with those people!"

"I seem to have seen a little ghost!"

"What kind of merchant are you?"

"I am Mohammed Ali Abadi from Yemen, engaged in hardware commodity trade."

"Hello, I am also from Yemen, my name is Ahmed bin Ahmed Garit, engaged in fertilizer, pesticide, walking tractor, and other agriculture-related product trade."

"Oh, hello, very happy to meet you."

Li Xuewu shook hands with the two very generously, and regardless of the surprise of the people around, he sat down directly next to an empty seat.

Selena was a bit stunned following behind him. Wouldn't this person be embarrassed?

You don't know them, and before she had time to greet them for him, he spoke first to ask them.

Using "What kind of merchant are you" as an entry point, is he really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

She might not know that in later generations, when two streamers meet during a PK, they also greet each other like this.

"What kind of streamer are you?"

"I am your father!!!"

Li Xuewu certainly didn't encounter such a jerk; those sitting here were all people with status, how could they say such things.

Of course, when he heard the translator behind the merchant speak, he knew he had been fooled by Selena again.

This damn thing doesn't seem like a high-end game; it's a bit like a small venue for second-hand dealers.

Of course, he absolutely didn't look down on the merchants sitting in the room; he was talking about everyone.

Including these two Middle Eastern rich guys who had a piece of cloth on their heads and were the richest in the world, who introduced themselves.

From the moment he entered the door, he had his eyes on these two; rich guys looking for relatives, he just liked such rich people.

But the words spoken from the other party's mouth made him feel a bit out of status. Does such a rich country still need to grow its own food?

Isn't this looking down on an agricultural-based country like ours!

Besides, fertilizer, pesticide, walking tractor, can you grow crops after buying them back!

Growing crops is so hard; you can't get much food all year round. How appropriate it is to buy directly from us with money!

Li Xuewu really treats people differently; he was much more enthusiastic about the first hardware merchant than the second agricultural merchant.

And when he turned to ask the other cloth-headed person beside him, the answer the other party gave made him feel much more comfortable.

"I am Mohammed At from Kuwait, mainly engaged in canned food trade."

"Oh~~ hello hello~"

Li Xuewu shook hands with the other party enthusiastically and said, "Food business is easy to do; the canned food here is very rich, the quality is superior, and the taste is unique!"

The Kuwaiti food merchant, like the two brothers from Yemen, couldn't figure out who Li Xuewu was or what he was doing, and shook hands with him with a blank face.

When Li Xuewu turned to ask the big-wave foreign girl he had been paying attention to for a while, the little ghost merchant he had been eyeing when he entered the door spoke: "May I ask who you are?"

"Ah ah~ really sorry, forgot to introduce myself."

Seeing him take the initiative to ask, Li Xuewu smiled and replied, "I am Li Xuewu, a commercial cooperation representative of Ng Fung Hong, an export agent for the trade fair."

"???"

It wasn't a big meeting room, and there were only a few foreign merchants sitting there. Now hearing his answer, not only were the foreign merchants confused, but even the translators sitting behind them were dumbfounded.

And Selena, standing behind Li Xuewu, rolled her eyes directly, feeling in her heart that this person had too many tricks.

What the hell is a commercial cooperation representative of Ng Fung Hong!

How should this be translated, how should it be punctuated, how should it be understood!

You can say he is the person in charge of commercial cooperation at Ng Fung Hong, or you can understand it as the person in charge of a commercial company that cooperates with Ng Fung Hong.

Isn't this deliberately confusing the public and deceiving these foreigners?

Don't say, as he introduced himself like this, he really took out his own "card" from his bosom and distributed it to every merchant present.

Those merchants who knew English were already shocked by the long list of business scope on the business card.

Those who didn't know English or Chinese were all understanding the awesomeness of the young man in front of them with the help of translators.

Holy cow! It's really too awesome~

No wonder he is a "commercial cooperation representative"; the scope of this representation is really many!

The crowd who previously doubted his identity expressed their respect one after another. The young man in front of them might be a business person in charge of a certain trust group in the mainland.

They dare to look down on the people of this country, but they absolutely dare not look down on the collective strength of this country.

Any small power multiplied by a population of hundreds of millions is a huge strength.

This country is too good at creating trust enterprises; the representatives of such enterprises cannot even describe their specific energy with their positions.

Selena also took a business card of Li Xuewu, and after reading it, she called herself an insider.

He really used the business card as a card!

Japanese merchant Nakata Keio understood Chinese, and from the business card Li Xuewu handed him, he discovered that the other party was not from Ng Fung Hong.

But he didn't correct or directly express doubt, because Ng Fung Hong still has many subsidiaries, and they are not all called Ng Fung Hong.

And he also knew very well that Ng Fung Hong itself is mainland capital, and it is normal to have connections with certain units in the mainland.

It's just that this young man came and stole his limelight, which made him very uncomfortable.

Li Xuewu didn't care what the little ghost was planning; he had already started chatting with the big-wave European beauty.

"Hello, I guess you must be a Falanxi rose~"

"Oh!"

The big-wave beauty was very surprised that Li Xuewu would speak Falanxi directly to her, especially the praise in the other party's greeting, which made her smile slightly and ask back: "What if I say no?"

"Then it would be too regrettable~"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly, didn't care about the other party's embarrassment, and said frankly, "But I think only Falanxi can grow such a beautiful and moving flower."

"Thank you, I am Chantal."

The big-wave beauty took the initiative to extend her hand to Li Xuewu and introduced herself: "I am indeed from Falanxi, and I am engaged in light industrial goods, handicrafts, and canned food trade."

"Then you are really capable."

Li Xuewu took the other party's hand, shook it lightly and politely, then signaled to the translator behind her, and said with feigned regret: "Although I really want to kiss the rose, the kiss-hand ceremony, unfortunately, our foreign affairs reception etiquette does not allow it."

"You must be very excellent."

Chantal is not a silly sweet girl. Facing Li Xuewu's goodwill, she didn't show any loss of composure; this had nothing to do with the other party's appearance.

She carefully sized up Li Xuewu and said very surely: "If we were in a garden, I would definitely be fascinated by you."

"Thank you, you have already fascinated me~"

Li Xuewu nodded at her with a smile and said, "If it's convenient, I'll make an appointment with you next week, and we can talk alone."

"Of course."

Chantal squeezed the business card in her hand; she was also very interested in the content on it.

Selena had just found a seat and was sitting behind Li Xuewu when she was shocked by his fancy flirting.

Is this person shameless? How can he flirt with anyone.

Still roses, still kissing the rose, still fascinated by you!

If it weren't for Li Xuewu trying every means to ask about the other party's background just now, she would have really believed the other party's nonsense.

What the hell kind of date is this? It's clearly that he took a fancy to the other party's trade direction and found the right one. This is to expand trade channels.

She just said that during yesterday's discussion and negotiation, Li Xuewu was stubborn about the agency scope; it turns out he really wanted to find other regional agents.

This matter also blames her; Li Xuewu said he wanted to see high-end foreign merchants, so she specially picked this kind of comprehensive trader to deal with him. Now it's a miscalculation.

Saying it's a comprehensive trader, it's actually the second-hand dealer Li Xuewu guessed.

Saying it's a second-hand dealer seems to be very niche, but the trade these people do is not small at all.

Big second-hand dealer!

From their mouths, Li Xuewu also heard that the main trade method of these people is to choose excellent commodities from all over the world and act as agents for corresponding regions.

They are international trade channels, mostly based on the internal sales and business channels of the country they belong to, doing wholesale reselling.

Including the three cloth-headed people in front, together with the newly met Falanxi merchant Chantal, they are all doing this.

No need to guess about the others; being able to gather here, and not being from the same country, they are mostly peers.

Li Xuewu was rash and was led into the wholesale market by Selena.

In the subsequent conversation, Chantal talked with great interest: she was participating in the Canton Fair for the first time and came with the delegation.

In large Falanxi companies, there are mainland light industrial goods, handicrafts, and canned food for sale.

So she also aimed at this super-large trading market and wanted to come to Canton to see if it was really high quality and inexpensive.

Seeing the surging merchants from all over the place at the trade fair and seeing the dazzling array of excellent commodities, she finally understood why the people on the Falanxi trade street and the vast number of consumers all had confidence in the quality of mainland goods.

Li Xuewu actually really wanted to tell her that what she saw and what she bought were the peaks of domestic production, selected first-class goods on the basis of selecting the best from the best.

Many, many of the commodities at the trade fair were things Li Xuewu had never seen before; he also just knew that the country could produce so many excellent good things.

But what can you do after seeing them? Without a strong economic foundation and a nationwide affluent purchasing environment, no matter how refined the commodities are, they can't be kept.

This is the nature of commerce, the kind that cannot be regulated.

Everyone knows jade is a good thing, but are the people who really mine it and the people who wear it from the same world?

How many families in the country still don't have the opportunity to use radios and televisions, but on the exhibition stands of the trade fair, there are complete categories of electronic products.

Including washing machines and other electrical daily appliances, do you dare to believe it?

A rich people and a strong country, a strong country and a rich people, this is an inevitable development process and ideal goal.

Chantal mentioned to Li Xuewu that she had already signed many contracts for ordering mainland goods at the trade fair.

She pointed out that many merchants in Western countries are actually very interested in developing trade with the mainland and are optimistic about the prospects of cooperation.

"I agree with this lady's point of view."

A middle-aged man in a suit nodded and said, "Mainland cotton cloth is very good, especially the fresh patterns and the rapid innovation of printing and dyeing technology, which is very suitable for sales in Cambodia."

"May I ask who you are?"

Li Xuewu took the initiative to greet the other party and asked, "Are you a merchant from Cambodia?"

"Hello, Mr. Li."

This slightly dark-skinned middle-aged man took the initiative to shake hands with Li Xuewu and said, "I know you; I had the honor to see your company's exhibition activities on the first day of the trade fair."

"Oh~ honor~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Welcome to the mainland as a guest."

"Thank you."

He took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am Binto, export department manager of the Cambodia Kingdom State-owned Import and Export Company."

"Mr. Binto, are you going to place an import order for cotton cloth?"

Li Xuewu was a bit suspicious of whether the other party's introduction was correct; he was from the export department.

Binto smiled slightly and said, "Deputy manager of the import department, Lin Suobi, and his wife went to participate in other activities."

"So that's how it is."

Li Xuewu smiled, nodded, and said, "Our unit also has cotton textile industry; I didn't expect to meet a corresponding merchant here, honor."

He took the initiative to shake hands with Binto again and said, "If it's convenient, you are also welcome to visit our production factory in Beijing."

"Ah, really honor."

Binto said politely, "I believe your unit must have very strong strength and foundation."

"It's the organization's credit."

Li Xuewu's answer was impeccable, making the other party feel the characteristics of mainland cadres very well.

Cambodia is a bit special; the other party is our close neighbor and also a friendly country. The king of the other party grew up in the mainland.

"I don't know if your factory does tung oil and Beijing handicraft business."

A merchant sitting on the side said in Falanxi, "I am from Italy, my name is Naigishi."

"Hello, welcome."

Li Xuewu first nodded and greeted, then replied, "We don't do tung oil; you can get to know southern exhibition units at tonight's banquet."

"But you have found the right person for Beijing handicraft business."

Li Xuewu said confidently, "No one understands Beijing handicrafts better than me, and no one understands handicraft production channels better than me."

This is indeed true; no matter what kind of Beijing-style handicrafts the other party wants, he can let Shen Guodong find the corresponding master craftsman and old artisan.

And sending such artisans to the prison, isn't that a mass-production handicraft workshop?

Handicrafts pay attention to manual work; what is needed is meticulousness and dedication.

And in terms of manual productivity, no one understands how to allocate resources better than Li Xuewu.

As long as you give Huang Gan a project, he can return you a handicraft industrial cluster.

Ten thousand prisoners in the prison, half of them are handicraft workers.

Where are there so many machines available for operation? With free manual labor, who would be bored enough to purchase machines?

So if you really want to compete on manual work, it has to be Liu Guangfu and these people who are meticulous and focused.

Especially focused!!!

Naigishi couldn't help it anymore; just now he saw Li Xuewu chatting one by one, and he could match business with anyone. He was thinking about whether he could find a suitable channel from him.

Didn't expect to really find the right person!

"Then, what kind of products does your handicraft factory produce?"

"Alas, this is hard to say."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want traditional handicrafts, such as silk flower embroidery, enamel aging, or modern crafts, such as carving and woodblock printing, bamboo weaving and printing?"

"I like them all."

Naigishi wasn't picky and said very seriously, "As long as it has Beijing characteristics, is representative, and can highlight cultural heritage, I like it."

"Is that so~"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "If it's convenient for you, please be sure to go to Beijing; I will take you to see the culture that truly has characteristics."

"I have exactly this intention."

Naigishi's eyes lit up and said, "Your exported commodities are of good quality and the price is relatively reasonable. General consumers in the Western European market have a good impression of mainland goods."

He said excitedly, "I am preparing to go to Shanghai and Beijing for a two-month commercial trip after negotiating the transaction at the Canton Fair."

"Welcome."

Li Xuewu glanced at the foreign affairs translator behind him inadvertently, and seeing that the other party's expression had no strange color, he knew this was allowed.

So he also expressed it very generously, saying that when he arrived in Beijing, he must contact him to fulfill the duties of a host.

Hearing him be so polite, Naigishi said, "I will definitely go find you; I want to see what the characteristic culture you mentioned is like."

"I guarantee you won't make the trip in vain!"

Li Xuewu smiled confidently and agreed to the other party's request.

And after Li Xuewu issued invitations one after another, a burst of discussion sounded in the small meeting room.

Oh my, several languages mixed together, just like walking into a zoo, you can't count them.

As long as there was a business match, Li Xuewu took the initiative to issue invitations and put forward the reception conditions of providing them with food and accommodation.

This made the atmosphere in the small meeting room a bit more lively, as if everyone had the intention to go to Beijing for a turn.

After all, that is the heart of this land, with the historical ancient building complexes they yearn for and the big figures they revere and worship.

No need to doubt, in this era, there are too many, too many people in this world who worship that person of ours.

Coming to the mainland, if they could see that person, it would absolutely make the other party feel honored and excited for a long time.

It's a pity, their level is not enough; basically, it is impossible to see the other party.

Even Li Xuewu, who had been mixing in the capital for so long, had only seen that person once, and that was at the commendation meeting.

Smith Spike, a representative of British merchants from London, expressed that he was willing to join Naigishi's commercial travel group and follow him north for travel.

Li Xuewu was very willing for the other party to participate in the travel group and go to Beijing for commercial travel, but he also admired the other party's courage.

In this period, his identity was still very sensitive, and he actually dared to go north for travel.

Of course, it's not to say that there are no British people in Beijing; there are offices.

It's to say that in this period, he dared to rush north with a head of yellow hair.

With the first one, there will be the second one. They are all international trade merchants; they don't open for three years, but they eat for three years after opening.

They all feel that the mainland now has opportunities; as long as they seize the opportunities, they can absolutely unearth the first pot of gold.

Smith Spike clearly expressed his attention and interest in native products, textiles, toys, and other light industrial goods, and received a positive response from Li Xuewu.

In the meeting room, everyone expressed that they would consider participating in this commercial travel group, except for Nakata Keio.

Today's small social gathering was organized by him, but he didn't expect Li Xuewu to intervene and spoil the situation.

Damn it!

He was certainly angry, but he couldn't help it. He "questioned" Li Xuewu's identity at the beginning, but didn't expect to provide a step for the other party.

Now he wants to take the initiative to join, but it seems he has no face.

Should he first connect with this young man to see if there is any corresponding business, and wait for the other party to take the initiative to invite him?

"Li-san, I am Nakata Keio from Japan, engaged in cotton, oil crops, tea, hemp, rice, and silk business."

"Oh?"

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, we don't have these businesses!"
