Chapter 180, The First Guest
After a quick breakfast, the group of people excitedly hurried towards the exhibition venue.
At this time, many people were already queuing to enter the convention center.
"We still have to wait in line!" Lu Yuanbo pouted and whispered in Lu Yuanqing's ear.
It wasn't there yesterday, but it's here today.
Lu Yuanqing tapped his head, "You'd better watch what you say these next few days. What should you say, what shouldn't you say... Uh, never mind, you'd better not say anything at all!"
If this brain of yours can't figure out what to say and what not to say, then you're doomed.
After giving him some instructions, Lu Yuanqing finally began to answer his questions.
"This is to ensure the safety of foreign guests. Besides, look at so many people, it's perfectly reasonable to have stricter security! It's good for others and for ourselves!"
I didn't explain the reasons in detail; I just told him that in such situations, strictness was necessary.
Lu Yuanbo nodded thoughtfully and said, "We do need to be careful. There are even more people than when we went to the market in town when I was a kid!"
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
"You just need to know that the people who can come to the Canton Fair are not ordinary people. If something happens to them, no one present can take responsibility."
Moreover, if something really happens, it could affect whether the subsequent Canton Fair can continue, which would be extremely serious.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanbo's eyes narrowed, he straightened up, and solemnly uttered a single word: "Hmm!"
Lu Yuanqing smiled at him and nodded in satisfaction.
Moreover, at the current Canton Fair, there are more merchants than foreign visitors. Although there is no strict entry time, everyone must be present before 8:30 a.m.
……
Twenty minutes later.
Lu Yuanqing and his group finally entered the venue and successfully arrived at their booth.
Lu Yuanqing handed Cheng He the breakfast he had brought. He first carefully checked their things to make sure everything was in order before he began to look around at the bustling exhibition hall.
Soon, it was 8:30.
Staff at the convention center began their rounds.
The purpose is to confirm whether the merchant has completed the preparations.
After preparations were complete, it was time for the foreign businessmen to enter.
...
Before we knew it, it was 8:50.
Just then, the loudspeakers inside the venue started blaring.
"Dear merchants, the exhibition hall will officially open in ten minutes. Please be prepared to welcome our foreign guests."
The announcement was repeated three times before it finally stopped.
Lu Yuanqing smirked, "Hahaha! I'll say it three times because it's important."
It was at this moment that everyone in the exhibition saw a group of young men and women dressed in military uniforms, holding various musical instruments.
They walked neatly to the spot reserved for them, lined up in an orderly fashion, solemnly raised their instruments, and waited!
"Third Uncle, is this the performance you were talking about?" Lu Mingnan asked, tugging at Lu Yuanqing's pants.
Lu Yuanqing bent down and said, "That's right, it's the military band's performance. When you watch it, please don't make any noise! You can't disturb these uncles and aunties' performance, understand?"
Lu Mingnan puffed out his chest and assured them, "I definitely won't say a single word."
Lu Yuanqing smiled and rubbed his head.
Nine o'clock sharp.
Foreign guests attending the Canton Fair began to enter the venue in a sparse manner, being led by others.
At the same time, the military band performance began in the stadium.
At this point, only Lu Mingnan and Lu Mingdong were still focused on the performance, watching very attentively.
Everyone else's attention was focused on the foreign guests who were entering.
Lu Yuanqing's booth was located quite far inside the venue, which was also very large.
The foreign guests hadn't reached them yet, and they were all craning their necks, looking expectantly ahead.
There were quite a few foreign guests, and the number kept increasing.
Lu Yuanqing and his team's bamboo weaving business quickly attracted customers.
The person who came must have come from Hong Kong. He spoke Cantonese, which left Zhao Zhongcai and his men completely bewildered.
Lu Yuanqing blinked his big eyes; he could understand a little of what he was saying.
But should he even understand it?
You still don't understand, do you? He can't speak it either!
At that moment, one of the patrolling staff members noticed their situation and quickly walked over.
He immediately started speaking fluent Cantonese to the foreign guests.
After understanding the situation, the staff turned around and faced a group of bewildered people, thinking that it must be their first time participating and they didn't know anything.
Then, he found Lu Yuanqing, who seemed to be at ease, and said, "This foreign guest has taken a liking to your bamboo weaving and wants to buy it."
Lu Yuanqing: "..." He actually understood some of it.
Lu Yuanqing immediately smiled and said to the staff member who was helping him, "Thank you. Please tell him that we can't sell him the twelve zodiac animals he wants for the time being because we only brought one set. We need to display it for the next few days. However, I can reserve it for him and sell it to him after the exhibition ends."
"If he needs more, then we can talk about signing a contract."
The staff member, oh, that is, Liu Qing, translated Lu Yuanqing's words with a smile and in a very serious manner.
To everyone's surprise, the foreign guest replied in somewhat broken but understandable Mandarin, "Then we can certainly talk about it!"
Everyone: "..."
She can speak Mandarin, but she started speaking Cantonese. What's wrong with her?
Lu Yuanqing snorted inwardly a few times, then forced a smile and said, "This way."
The bamboo stools they brought were perfect for receiving foreign guests.
The others remained in their original positions, their eyes constantly glancing backward.
It's sold already?
So simple?
Lu Yuanqing's words about selling it easily have now become a reality.
Lu Yuanbo and his group were eager to go over and see what was going on.
However, Lu Yuanqing had already said that when discussing business, no one was allowed to crowd around or disturb them.
Lu Yuanqing and Zhao Zhongcai greeted their first guest together.
Because of Wang Wei's kindness, the area that originally belonged to them was now mostly occupied by Lu Yuanqing and his group.
The originally cramped space was rearranged this morning.
A large area, with a bamboo bed on one side and a lounge chair on the other.
In the middle, there are three bamboo chairs with backrests.
In the innermost part, there were three wooden shelves, on which various bamboo woven handicrafts were displayed.
Lu Yuanqing and his entourage sat down on the stools. Before he could even speak, the person opposite him said in his somewhat awkward Mandarin, "This chair is nice, and it's comfortable to sit in. My dad will definitely like it. I want to buy a few to take home!"
Lu Yuanqing: "...We actually have several of these bamboo chairs!"
The bamboo chairs were made by Grandpa Zhao Sheng.
Actually, the bamboo weaving products we brought this time, apart from the twelve zodiac animals, include several of each, and there are even three of each of the recliners and cooling beds.
Bamboo chairs take less time to make than bamboo beds, but there are six of them.
The booths were too small, so they were all still stored in the warehouse.
