Chapter 1756 Three Days
They had only received a portion of the deposit, but the couple was still very excited after counting it, which showed that they had taken the first step.
Having tasted success, everyone got up early the next morning, full of confidence and high spirits.
Taking advantage of the early morning when there were few people, we asked a passerby to take some group photos for us. Then we chatted and laughed as we went to have breakfast, and talked about today's harvest.
They had plenty of time and weren't in a hurry to queue at the venue entrance, as the opening hours were fixed.
Ye Yaodong put on those two wigs again today. "If any foreigners appear near the stall later, just put on these two wigs as usual. You don't need to shout anymore. Just stand quietly in front of the shelves and look down at the products."
"Don't I need to spout nonsense to attract people?" Xiao Juan asked curiously.
"No need. Yesterday was the opening day, so it was fine to attract customers if it failed. But today is different. With yesterday's success, let's be more careful today to avoid being exposed. Just pretend we have customers and a lot of foot traffic."
"Ok."
"The boss is amazing, he comes up with a new idea every day."
Ye Yaodong smiled and sighed, "Forced by life's circumstances..."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "Stop being silly, let's go, the museum will open in half an hour, we can walk over and wait for a while."
"Come on, cheer up, it's another battle today. After these three days, we'll be living the high life when we get back."
Everyone was full of energy and headed straight for the exhibition hall.
They followed the same pattern as on the first day. When they saw foreigners around the exhibition hall, they would dress up, but they didn't say anything, kept their backs to the wall and lowered their heads, so they weren't too conspicuous. However, they could still be seen by chance when they walked by.
That's the effect I wanted: to be popular, but not overly conspicuous.
Today's foot traffic is even greater than yesterday's; people started coming up to ask questions within half an hour.
An hour later, when the order was processed, subsequent orders came in like snowflakes. Everyone went from being relaxed and unhurried at the beginning to being flustered and overwhelmed later on.
Even though Ye Yaodong, Lin Xiuqing, and the deputy factory director didn't understand foreign trade, they each signed two orders with just a calculator.
It's just a small order; they panic when it comes to big orders, so they just hand them over to the salesperson.
By the time the museum closed, everyone was too tired to move and their mouths were too dry to speak.
After a short while, Ye Yaodong said, "Let's go, it's another bountiful day, let's go eat."
"okay."
Although everyone was physically exhausted, they were mentally excited and their brains were extremely active.
Although there were more orders and the amount was larger than yesterday, yesterday was the first day, and we were already excited and thrilled. Although there were more orders today, it couldn't compare to the excitement of yesterday.
Today's events were all expected, bringing only joy and excitement. Everyone was willingly exhausted and wished they could be even more tired.
However, there were fewer people on the third day, but only relatively speaking. Today, we still made more than $50 in sales.
Over three days, they closed deals worth $230 million. For many foreign trade companies, this amount is not large, but for these manufacturing companies participating for the first time, it was a major victory.
If converted to RMB using the exchange rate, even using the official exchange rate, let alone the market rate, the sales would reach over 1000 million RMB. In just three days, the sales amounted to over 1000 million RMB.
This is something that domestic sales cannot compare to, and something they never dared to imagine before. Although they had high hopes for it, it was just a fantasy. Now it has become a reality.
After the exhibition ended, they calculated the orders and cheered right there in the venue.
"It's done!"
So many orders!
"Success!"
"Haha, our trip was a complete success!"
It's important to know that before this year, foreign trade companies couldn't participate simply by having import and export rights; there were certain thresholds, such as having an annual export value of over 200 million US dollars.
And now, they have already broken through this threshold at the Spring Canton Fair, and there is still the Autumn Fair in the second half of the year.
Then there might be repeat orders, or the business cards sent out in these three days might attract customers who visit the store and then place an order. That's quite possible.
Now, they are definitely qualified to participate next year, which is a good start and a new breakthrough for the factory.
They were cheering here, and there were other stalls cheering in other corners as well.
Anyway, the surrounding vendors were used to their excited behavior after the exhibition ended every day. After three days, they had gotten used to it. In fact, the people next door were also very excited.
Their results weren't particularly impressive, and there were long queues at other nearby stalls when they placed orders. But since it was their first time participating, they were already quite satisfied with their current sales figures, which already exceeded their total sales for the entire previous year.
Ye Yaodong excitedly said, "It's a complete success. Thank you for your hard work. We'll throw a celebration banquet when we get back. Now let's disassemble the equipment."
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and stretched, "After finishing the last bit of work, we'll ship these things tomorrow and then we can head back. Everyone has worked hard these past few days, let's just finish up a little more."
Ye Yaodong added, "Everyone has performed very well these past few days. As for the orders, I will collect them all here first, so that they won't be too fragmented when they are distributed among you."
"Anyway, every order has the salesperson's name on it. After we get back to the factory, we'll hand the orders over to you each. I'll just keep a copy for myself."
"When the time comes, each of you will be responsible for monitoring the goods and making your own arrangements for each order. You also need to remember to follow up on payments and reconcile them with the finance department after they are received."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile, "We can talk about these details when we get back. Let's start dismantling the exhibition hall now. Everyone else has already started dismantling, so let's hurry up and pack it up. I estimate we'll be busy until several nights before dark."
"If we pack it up early, we might still be able to check it in at the train station. If it's too late, we'll have to leave someone to watch over it and wait until dawn to check it in."
Ye Yaodong quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, let's dismantle the decorations first."
Everyone started getting busy as soon as Lin Xiuqing began speaking.
I just rested for a little while, but now I'm full of energy again. Young people have great stamina.
"Three days felt like they went by pretty fast. I was a little nervous at first, but now I'm so excited..."
"You can argue with that. At first, I couldn't help but feel nervous thinking about communicating with foreigners. But then people kept coming and going, and I was so busy that I didn't have time to be nervous."
"Yeah, when you're really busy, you don't have time to think about being nervous or whether you've made any mistakes in your English. You don't have time to think about these things."
"Me too... I never thought that at my age of forty or fifty, I could still close a few deals by gesturing around..."
P.S.: Sorry, I got so engrossed in a novel today that I stayed up until now. I'll catch up tomorrow, and then I won't read it anymore. It's too easy for me to get absorbed in novels.
I haven't read a novel in a long time, but I got completely engrossed in it today. I have absolutely no self-control when it comes to novels; they're my only addiction.
