Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

On the morning of the 2nd, He Yuzhu took Fan Youxiang, Feng Rui, Zhang Wanshun and Xu Damao to the Rabbit Country Export Commodity Exhibition Hall at No. 1 Qiyi Road, Baiyun City. On the way, the tour guide on the bus said, "Hello everyone, I am Xiao Chen, the tour guide of this bus. Some of you may be attending the commodity trading conference for the first time, so let me give you a brief introduction to the export commodity trading conference. In 1956, Zhang Ping, the general manager of Xiangjiang Huarun Company, Shu Ziqing, the deputy director of the Export Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and Yan Yijun, the then special commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Trade in Guangzhou, discussed whether they could learn from foreign advanced experience and hold a product exchange meeting in Rabbit Country to open up sales for Rabbit Country products and increase some foreign exchange for the country."

"Yan Yijun then sent a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Trade in his personal name, suggesting that a national export commodity exhibition and exchange meeting be held. The then Minister of Foreign Trade, Ye Jizhuang, quickly commented on the telegram: "I agree. If everyone has no objection, then do it. So on November 1956, 11, the exhibition was held as scheduled in the Rabbit-Bear Friendship Building. During the two-month exhibition, more than 10 orders were concluded, with a total amount of more than 6000 million US dollars. More than 5380 merchants from 37 countries attended the exhibition."

"In view of the achievements of the exhibition, on March 1957, 3, the Ministry of Foreign Trade officially issued the document "The Ministry of Foreign Trade of Rabbit Country Agrees to Hold an Export Commodities Fair in April", approving the holding of the Export Commodities Fair. So in April 4, the first Export Commodities Fair was held, displaying more than 4 kinds of commodities, and 1957 buyers from 4 countries and regions attended the fair. In the first year of the Export Commodities Fair, a total transaction of 1 million US dollars was achieved, accounting for 19% of the total cash flow generated in the country that year. Because our country has a vast territory and different agricultural products are produced in different seasons, an Export Commodities Fair is held in spring and autumn every year. The second Export Commodities Fair was still rented in the Rabbit-Bear Friendship Building in October 1223."

"In view of the limited area of ​​the Rabbit-Bear Friendship Building and the lack of sufficient space to display goods, the Export Commodities Trade Fair Organizing Committee decided to build a special Export Commodities Exhibition Hall. So on November 1957, 11, the Export Commodities Exhibition Hall at No. 4 Qiaoguang Road, Baiyun City started construction and was completed on April 2, 1958. The third Export Commodities Trade Fair was held in the newly built Export Commodities Exhibition Hall. The exhibition hall is 4 stories high, covers an area of ​​10 square meters, has a construction area of ​​5 square meters, and a usable exhibition area of ​​3600 square meters. This is the first time that the Export Commodities Trade Fair has moved to a new location. The Export Commodities Exhibition Hall at No. 1.45 Qiaoguang Road has held a total of three Export Commodities Trade Fairs."

"During the Third Export Commodities Fair, our dear Prime Minister Z personally visited Baiyun City to inspect the Third Export Commodities Fair. In 1958, Prime Minister Kim Il Sung of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea visited the 4th Canton Fair (which lasted for one and a half months). He was the first foreign dignitary to visit the Canton Fair."

"This is the 7th Export Commodities Trade Fair. The venue is the newly built Rabbit Country Export Commodities Exhibition Hall at No. 1 Qiyi Road, Baiyun City. The exhibition hall started construction on November 1958, 11 and was completed at the end of August 1. The 1959th Export Commodities Trade Fair was held in this exhibition hall in November last year. This is the second time the Export Commodities Trade Fair has moved to a new location. The exhibition hall covers an area of ​​8 square meters, with a total construction area of ​​11 square meters and a usable area of ​​6 square meters, which is 1.09 times that of the Qiaoguang Road Exhibition Hall."

"By the way, the Export Commodities Trade Fair charges each trade group 1% of its transaction amount as a handling fee, which is used to fund the hosting of the Export Commodities Trade Fair, as well as the expansion and construction of the Export Commodities Exhibition Hall and annual expenses. Well, this is the situation of the previous Export Commodities Trade Fairs. Finally, Xiao Chen wishes everyone to achieve good results in this Export Commodities Trade Fair and earn more foreign exchange for the country."

As soon as a girl named Xiao Chen finished her explanation of the export commodity trading conference, He Yuzhu took the lead in applauding, as a thank you for Xiao Chen's enthusiastic and vivid explanation. As warm applause rang out in the carriage, Xiao Chen bent down to express her gratitude to everyone.
