Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

Director Xie knew it was his fault, so he could only shut up and take her around the exhibition center.

Occasionally you can see a few foreigners bargaining in front of the stalls.

Yang Qingdai smiled. What a familiar scene.

This scene can often be seen at the end of trade fairs in later generations. Foreigners are often seen bargaining for samples, and some foods that are difficult to carry back and forth will be sold at a discount.

The bargain now is for bulk orders only.

"Did you see someone you know?" Director Xie saw Yang Qingdai smiling happily and thought she saw someone she knew.

"Ah?" Yang Qingdai was stunned. "No, I just think their bargaining style is quite similar to that of the uncles and aunts in the market."

Director Xie followed her gaze and saw only different foreign faces.

To be honest, this was his first time attending an exhibition here, and he saw that bargaining at the booths was done with gestures.

They even took out paper and pen. Someone wrote a number, but the foreigners crossed it out and wrote a new number. If they were not satisfied, they would shake their heads and wave their hands, cross out what the foreigners wrote, and write their own number again.

Director Xie found this situation of talking at cross purposes quite adorable.

"Director Xie, is there anyone in our factory who can speak English?" Yang Qingdai suddenly remembered this.

Don’t bring people here to make gestures tomorrow, it will be very embarrassing if they still can’t figure it out.

Yang Qingdai's question made Director Xie very embarrassed.

Director Xie brought Yang Qingdai out of the exhibition center, his tone a little awkward, "Well, for this exhibition, we have to ask you, Xiao Yang, to help look after the venue. There is really no one in our factory who can speak foreign languages."

Yang Qingdai:!!! By this time, shouldn’t you know some Russian and English?

"Xiao Yang, don't worry, don't worry." Director Xie was a little worried that Yang Qingdai would suddenly quit and leave. "Well, in addition to the share we agreed on before, I'll give you another 0.03% commission for every order you close."

"Let's go and sign the agreement immediately." Yang Qingdai's eyes lit up. Money makes the conversation easier.

If she had said this earlier, she would have been more motivated.

Director Xie was smiling happily.

He found out last year that he had to pay high wages to ask others to help with translation. If the salary was too low, they would just ignore him.

Moreover, some people have been kneeling for so long in their early years that their knees can no longer straighten up. They can only flatter their "foreign fathers" and bargain with the factories in return.

I don’t know who hired the help?

Now there is Yang Qingdai, a serious college student from a foreign language college, who is her own "rescued child", so her interpretation will definitely be more appropriate than that of others.

"Let's eat first, then we'll go back to the factory to sign the agreement."

The next morning, before eight o'clock, Yang Qingdai, wearing a small suit, went downstairs and saw driver Xiao Xie in the lobby, who kindly handed her breakfast.

There is no choice but to eat in the car.

She originally planned to go out early and have some morning tea on the roadside.

I didn't expect that there was such a diligent Xiao Xie waiting here.

Yang Qingdai got into the car obediently, slowly eating shrimp dumplings and steamed buns and drinking soy milk.

When she arrived at the convention and exhibition center, Yang Qingdai realized that she had overestimated Director Xie.

The only people at the booth were Director Xie and the young female comrade who had helped him rescue the samples the night before.

"Director Xie, you didn't bring only these two here, did you?" Yang Qingdai felt a little headache.

Director Xie was helpless, "Comrade Xiao Yang, they are the only two people in the factory who graduated from high school."

Hey~

Before Yang Qingdai could say anything, a customer came up to ask questions.

Seeing a guest coming to ask questions, the two female comrades volunteered to step forward to explain.

"Xie, Director. What are these two's names?"

Yang Qingdai heard that they were very courageous in communicating with foreigners in Chinese and using gestures.

Maybe these two will be good sales talents in the future.

Yang Qingdai watched them go from speaking Chinese at first to occasionally speaking a few words of English with foreigners in the afternoon, and she thought that they could be well trained.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer people coming to inquire about prices, Yang Qingdai sat aside and chatted with Director Xie.

"The one with long braids is Xie Yao, Xiao Xie's sister, and the one with short hair is Chen Yu. They were both recruited in the middle of last year. Young people are quick and nimble, and their brains are sharp, too."

"That works." Yang Qingdai affirmed, "If we train them well, maybe they will be able to come to the exhibition on their own in the future."

Yang Qingdai thought that she had to build good relationships with them first, so that it would be easier for her to steal their girls later.

"Comrade Xiao Yang, we don't understand what this gentleman is saying." Xie Yao shouted, sounding a little embarrassed.

"coming."

"Hello, beautiful lady. I am James from the Eagle Sauce family. I am very interested in the clothes you designed. Could you explain what they mean to me?" The man with white skin and a hooked nose pointed at the coat with crocheted "patches".

This was a time when the Eagle Sauce and the Rabbit were on good terms, and quite a number of Eagle Sauces came to Longguo to do business.

Yang Qingdai smiled confidently, "Of course it's possible. The inspiration comes from the window view of Chinese gardens..."

He also spoke fluent American accent, which made Mr. James very happy.

James didn't expect that this young girl could communicate with him so fluently in their native language. Compared with the stuttering translators at other booths, he felt very respected.

"You make a good point, but the price of these clothes is much more expensive than those in other booths," said James.

Wow, this looks so familiar. Isn't this the rhythm of preparing to bargain?

Yang Qingdai invited him to take a closer look at the other coats. "Look, these patterns were all crocheted by our beautiful female comrades. Compared to others, our clothes can be regarded as wearing the traditional art of Dragon Country on the body.

It is not just a piece of clothing, but the craftsman’s sincere love for arts and crafts.”

"Can we negotiate the price? It's a bit high. If it doesn't sell well when we get back, we'll lose a lot of money."

She was good at this. Yang Qingdai stood up and showed off her suit: "What do you think of this suit?"

James gave a thumbs up, "Excellent."

"I designed it myself. Our products are selling very well in Hong Kong." He even took the newspaper that Tang Danbai brought from Hong Kong. "Look, this is what it looked like when our products were first sold in Hong Kong. People were lining up to buy them."

James couldn't believe it. "Is this true?"

He spent more than half a year in Hong Kong last year. There were several times when many people lined up in this department store to buy the latest women's clothing, and his wife also bought some.

The price is indeed not low, but there is no need to worry about sales.

In this backward Dragon Country, clothes are all black, gray and blue. Do those colorful clothes and accessories that are so popular among ladies in Hong Kong come from here?

"Of course it's real." Yang Qingdai pointed to the brand on the newspaper and took out a sample garment with a unique logo on the collar, "Our anti-counterfeiting trademark."
