Chapter 606 Yang Ming Attends the Canton Fair for the First Time!

Yang Ming took a nap in the Oriental Hotel.

When he woke up, it was already 16:45 in the afternoon.

I have to say that it was quite tiring to rush from Hong Kong to Guangzhou by car.

After getting up, Yang Ming had afternoon tea in the Oriental Hotel.

The afternoon tea here is Guangzhou's afternoon tea. In addition to various snacks provided to foreign guests, there are also Western cakes, Pu'er tea, jasmine, etc., and coffee.

Yang Ming asked Lin Xiuzhi to call Huang Yaonan, Mou Shili, President Xia and others.

When they came, Yang Ming invited them to sit down and have afternoon tea together.

At this time, even President Xia of the Hong Kong Jockey Club treated Sir Yang as his boss. President Xia knew very well that he had no relationship with the country. He was just representing the Hong Kong Jockey Club to talk with Guangzhou, and he was afraid that he would not be able to reach an agreement at all.

This is not a question of whether there is a translator, but whether there is a relationship with Sir Yang, the middleman.

Enjoy the afternoon tea here.

Return to the guest room where Yang Ming lives.

Yang Ming looked at President Xia and said, "President Xia, the 48th Canton Fair will be held the day after tomorrow. I will also attend the Canton Fair activities with the relevant persons in charge of Yangcheng. After the Canton Fair, your Jockey Club can talk to the relevant persons in charge of Yangcheng."

At this time, the Canton Fair is the real business.

President Xia has understood this point.

Huang Yaonan and Mou Shili are the same. Let them go back and have a good rest first, and attend the 48th Canton Fair in Yangcheng together the day after tomorrow.

That night.

Yang Ming had a simple dinner at the Oriental Hotel.

Back to the guest room, looking at the Oriental Culture Hotel under construction in the distance.

This is a five-star hotel invested by the Oriental Mandarin Hotel Group under Jardine Matheson in Yangcheng.

Originally, that location was the Z Country Hotel invested by Hu Yinglian, Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong and others in history. Now because of the appearance of Yang Ming, they have not been able to establish such a hotel.

Nowadays, in addition to the Huacheng Hotel invested by the Li family, the White Swan Hotel invested by Huo Yingdong is a five-star hotel invested by the Oriental Mandarin Hotel under the Jardine Matheson Group under the Empire Group.

Now it seems that the Oriental Mandarin Hotel is still under construction and will be completed as early as next year, so that when the Canton Fair is held in the future, those foreign businessmen can stay in this high-end hotel.

Rest for a night.

Early the next morning.

After Yang Ming got up.

Secretary Li of Mr. Ren has come over.

"Mr. Yang, I wonder if you are going to speak at the opening ceremony of the Canton Fair tomorrow?"

According to Mr. Yang's identity, he was able to attend the opening ceremony of this Canton Fair, which was already a great honor.

"Secretary Li, I'm not going to speak."

Yang Ming doesn't like to speak, nor does he like to be too high-profile in China.

Secretary Li wrote it down.

On that day, Yang Ming took Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, Lin Xiuzhi and others around Guangzhou.

. . .

October 20, 1980.

The first day of the 48th Autumn Canton Fair.

In addition to Yang Ming, Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, Lin Xiuzhi, Chen Zhenhua and Zhang Guohua, there are also Huang Yaonan, Mou Shili, President Xia and others.

They left the Oriental Hotel and went to the nearby exhibition hall where the Canton Fair was held.

This exhibition hall is not the Pazhou Exhibition Hall in Yang Ming's previous life.

However, from the outside, it seems to be quite large.

The organizational structure of the Canton Fair at this time is a professional trading group composed of major import and export companies under the Ministry of Commerce and branches in provinces and municipalities.

It mainly includes grain, oil and food, textiles, chemicals, medicines, native livestock, light industry, technology, machinery, five minerals, and equipment trading groups, each of which occupies an exhibition hall.

Yang Ming and others took the invitation card and went in. At this time, it was not yet time for the opening ceremony, but many people had already come inside.

Representatives of products from various provinces came to participate in the exhibition, and even some were from national forest farms, national farms, and major state-owned enterprises. Basically, there were these, and private products were still very few.

Even the products of joint ventures were not many.

This year, there is one more difference, that is, customers from Taiwan have been introduced, which means that customers from Taiwan can also negotiate contracts with the exhibition here.

Now Yang Ming can see that in addition to the large number of Chinese people, there are also quite a few foreigners.

There are many white people and black people.

Most of the merchants participating in the exhibition are from Asian, African and Latin American countries. As for Europe, America and Japan, it is not that there are none, but there are not so many.

When Yang Ming took Ah Zhu and others to visit, Ah Zhu, Guan Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong and others saw this kind of exhibition for the first time.

It seems that most of the domestic exhibitions are mainly agricultural products.

An hour later.

Yang Ming was still visiting.

Someone had come over.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Ren invites you to come over."

Yang Ming and others came to Mr. Ren and Mr. Liang, and soon the opening ceremony of the 48th Canton Fair was held.

This opening ceremony was still very lively.

In addition to the speeches of Mr. Ren, Mr. Liang and others, there were also various singing and dancing performances, which were full of joy.

Yang Ming and others were invited to sit between Mr. Ren and Mr. Liang.

When the host announced the official start of the 48th Autumn Z Country Export Trade Fair, Mr. Ren began to speak, one after another.

Yang Ming sat there mainly applauding. After the main representatives finished speaking, there was a song and dance performance.

It lasted until noon, when Mr. Ren and others took Yang Ming and others to visit the items in various exhibition halls.

Among them, the China-Earth Livestock Trading Group is in Hall 4, and the major commodities it operates include fur and leather products, carpets, pig bristles, casings, down, tea; spices, wood, fireworks, dried fruits, etc.

Yang Ming and others watched and communicated with the exhibitors here.

The Hong Kong market is not big, and there is not much demand for this aspect, but there is a great demand abroad.

Including fur and leather products.

The fur and leather goods department is in the hall on the fourth floor of the exhibition hall, and the negotiation room is made up of wooden boards and frosted glass partitions. The entire negotiation hall is antique, gorgeous, and filled with a faint scent of camphor.

Each negotiation room is simply decorated with two square tables, several folding chairs, a gantry hanger for hanging samples, and a small cabinet for tea sets. There are special waiters responsible for making tea and pouring water.

Like a hospital clinic, merchants line up in the hall outside the door.

This is the first time Yang Ming has visited an exhibition of this era. It can be seen that Guangzhou has held 48 consecutive sessions, which is still relatively mature.

In Yang Ming's opinion, it is still not good enough.

At lunch in the afternoon, Yang Ming and others left with Ren Lao and others.

At this time, the exhibition hall was even more lively, and the transaction orders of whites, blacks and domestic exhibitors were constantly increasing.

When Yang Ming and Ren Lao and others came to the Oriental Hotel for lunch, Ren Lao asked: "Mr. Yang, what do you think of the Canton Fair in Yangcheng?"

"Mr. Ren, the Canton Fair has been held for so many years, and the system is relatively mature in all aspects. However, I think there are still some aspects that need to be improved. For example, now it is basically dominated by products of state-owned enterprises, and there are also national forest farms and national farms. On the contrary, I didn't see a few private companies, and even no joint ventures. In my opinion, as a national exhibition, it is to exhibit and sell its own products to the outside world, and it should include individual businesses, and even joint ventures. Including, like clothing from individual businesses, various products of joint ventures, this will drive more foreign businessmen to buy and place orders, which is also very beneficial to the development of the Canton Fair."
