After casually finishing his breakfast, Liu Qingshan began to continue reading.

It’s better to be young!

He has an excellent memory, coupled with his understanding ability that is much higher than that of his peers. Once he devotes himself to books, his learning efficiency will skyrocket.

When it was almost noon, Zheng Hongqi came back with a serious face, followed by two older policemen.

Looking at the small bag held in the arms of the police officer, Liu Qingshan knew that the group that was trying to get approval for internal procurement must be a liar.

An old police officer held the paper slip in his hand, started to read the names, and then took away more than a dozen people, who all paid.

When they came back, their expressions were a bit complicated, which could probably be described as a mixture of sadness and joy, and yes, there was also a trace of happiness.

In the time that followed, Zheng Hongqi, a young cadre who had been somewhat ostracized, suddenly became popular.

Many people gathered around him, chatted for a while, and finally thanked him.

Sometimes, connections are built up bit by bit like this.

Liu Qingshan didn't ask how Zheng Hongqi exposed the liar. He just concentrated on reading to pass the boring time on the train.

But in the evening when everyone was resting, Zheng Hongqi came over and patted Liu Qingshan's arm gently and said "thank you".

Liu Qingshan smiled, saying nothing.

After staying on the train for three days, the group finally arrived at Yangcheng, the forefront of reform and opening up. Even a young guy like Liu Qingshan seemed like he was about to fall apart.

After plunging into the hotel bed and sleeping soundly all night, Liu Qingshan finally came back to life with full blood the next day.

He was excitedly going to visit Yangcheng at this time to see what it was like, but County Magistrate Wang came to inform him that intensive training would be held in the morning.

Well, he could only go there and sit there all morning, then go to the train station in the afternoon to pick up the exhibition goods, and work until dark.

The exhibition hall decoration started again the next day, and there was no time for leisure at all. Liu Qingshan could only take some time to hire people from the local theater troupe.

I originally thought I would have to spend some money, but I never expected that as soon as the other party's unit heard that they were participating in the Canton Fair, they immediately expressed their strong support and didn't want to pay a penny.

Moreover, the other party generously said: You can choose any actor you like!

But when Liu Qingshan explained his performance plan, the deputy leader who received him was immediately dumbfounded:

"Little comrade, when our actors go on stage, they all wear their own outfits. Even if they put on your clothes and sing, they probably won't be able to open their mouths."

"You don't have to sing, you just walk. It's like a formality."

Liu Qingshan explained to him for a long time, but the deputy leader still didn't quite understand.

This is not to blame. There is no formal model team in China at the moment. Liu Qingshan’s idea is indeed a bit too ultra-conventional and avant-garde.

In the end, we could only invite the actors, put on the clothes that had been prepared in advance, and show them on the stage first.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel happy as he watched the young actors dressed in modern clothes, singing along with the gongs and drums, and walking on stage with great precision.

When everything was ready, the Canton Fair officially kicked off on the third day after arriving in Yangcheng.

Everyone was so busy that they had a preliminary experience of what the real southern speed is.

Even County Magistrate Wang expressed some emotion: "Hey, our small northern county is like an old man walking on the street, slowly strolling forward; while others here have already begun to march in a hurry, running forward,

Wouldn’t it be strange if you don’t fall further and further behind?”

Zheng Hongqi also agreed, and he was even a little worried: This gap will become wider and wider in the future.

Liu Qingshan thinks more long-term: In this rolling tide of reform and development, if you cannot always stay at the forefront, you will be eliminated by the tide of the times in a blink of an eye.

As for Director Zhou of the Commerce Bureau, he looked envious: "There's no comparison. This is the frontier of reform and opening up. We are at the rear. Of course we can only push the cart and do some frontline work."

These words were quite in line with the current situation, so County Magistrate Wang and Zheng Hongqi could not refute, but there was a look of unwillingness on their faces.

The location of their exhibition area was relatively remote, and no merchants had come over at this time. Liu Qingshan was also idle and started chatting.

"Dear leaders, in fact, our Bishui County is not bad, with rich resources and a large area of ​​arable land. We will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future."

But Director Zhou kept shaking his head: "In the past, more land was a good thing. More grain could fill the belly and support national construction."

"But now that the whole country is working hard to develop the economy, large agricultural counties like ours are becoming less and less popular."

Liu Qingshan did not engage in unnecessary arguments with him. When the time comes, it will develop with Jiapigou as the center and radiate to the entire commune and the entire Bishui County, which will be more convincing than any argument.

"Hey, there are foreign businessmen here, let's all cheer up!"

A staff member came over to inform, and everyone couldn't help but cheer up: The battle has begun!

Everyone tidied up their ill-fitting suits, straightened their work badges on their chests, straightened their chests and raised their heads, and entered into combat mode.

Soon there was a flow of hundreds of people rushing towards this side. Among them were foreign businessmen with different skin colors and different hair colors.

There were also some Chinese and overseas Chinese among them, even older overseas Chinese, with excited expressions and looking around eagerly.

Liu Qingshan looked at these old overseas Chinese, as if they were not here to purchase goods, but rather like wanderers returning to their hometown, seeing their hometown and relatives they had not seen for a long time.

Only then did he remember that since the year before last, the Canton Fair had increased trade with Taiwan.

The behavior of these old overseas Chinese is completely understandable.

There were too many merchants, and the translators arranged by the organizing committee were simply not enough, so many foreigners chose the products they were interested in and stopped to watch.

Some traditional Chinese handicrafts or crafts, as well as porcelain, etc., are particularly popular among them.

There are too many types of products and there are no qualified tour guides, so it’s basically just a quick tour.

Liu Qingshan soon discovered a phenomenon: even the merchants did not know and could not understand what the products on many booths were. No wonder people in their county had their heads shaved last year.

This year's situation is very different. There are particularly many merchants stopping in front of the one-meter-long booth in Bishui County.

Among them, the brochure designed by Liu Qingshan played a huge role.

The text on the brochure was in Chinese and English, and foreigners could understand it, so they all stood there and read it.

As for the people at the booths around them, they can only be envious: Bishui County is really going to release a big satellite this time. Didn't they look at the foreigners who were happily chanting "Gude Gude"?

I have no choice but to look at it with envy. Someone must be guiding me from behind. We must get this brochure next year too.

The booth was only one meter long and could barely accommodate three people. County Magistrate Wang, Zheng Hongqi and Director Zhou stood side by side behind the booth, and it was so packed that there was no space at all.

I don't know whether it was because it was hot in the big exhibition hall or because they were nervous, but the three of them were sweating profusely and kept handing out brochures in their hands.

They kept talking about it, regardless of whether the foreign merchants could understand it, they were just trying their best to sell various products.

Liu Qingshan was squeezed in the back, looking at the three people in front of him speechlessly: The attitude is commendable, this is the effect, what effect can it have if we talk about it like a chicken and a duck?

It was Zheng Hongqi who was the first to react, and gently nodded to County Magistrate Wang who was standing in the middle: "Should we ask Xiao Liu to come to the front? He speaks English well and can communicate with foreign businessmen."

Yes!

County Magistrate Wang suddenly slapped his thigh. Even if they yelled at the top of their lungs, the foreign merchants might not be able to understand them.

Director Zhou is also very foresighted and wants to make room quickly.

After all, in terms of position, he is the lowest among the three.

However, Liu Qingshan waved his hand towards Director Zhou: "No, no, it's hard to find talents who can communicate with foreign businessmen now, so we just keep it normal."

Director Zhou nodded to Liu Qingshan, then turned around and continued working.

If he can sign several letters of intent or actually sign a purchase contract, it will be of great benefit to his future development.

Liu Qingshan was not hiding for a while. He was behind, carefully observing the merchants coming and going, observing their expressions, occasionally listening to their private exchanges, and constantly collecting valuable information.

The result made him slightly disappointed: Bishui County is just a small, backward county after all, and the products it offers are actually not very attractive.

The key is that there is no special feature, so although the front of the booth looks very lively, it is a false prosperity, and there is not a single customer who is really interested in ordering.

It seems that we can only enlarge the move!

County Magistrate Wang and others who were busy at the front desk obviously discovered the same problem. The foreign businessmen browsed the brochures with interest, shook their heads, or shrugged, and then put the pages back on the booth.

The three of them couldn't help but feel their hearts sink. Zheng Hongqi muttered in a low voice: "Our products are still not competitive."

County Magistrate Wang didn't care that he was wearing a suit. He wiped his forehead with his sleeve and said with a look of anger on his face: "Oh, all your hard work has been in vain. Do you have to shave your head this year?"

Those foreign businessmen who had stopped started to move again, and at this moment, a very passionate voice suddenly sounded:

"Ladies-and-Gentlemen, the classical fashion show begins now, and we invite models to appear!"

Watt?Model show?

The foreign businessmen looked around, and their interest suddenly rose.

The accompaniment tape immediately started playing, first with intensive gongs and drums, and then with Beijing and Hu sounds, and then two teams of Tsing Yi Hua Dan appeared on the stage.

However, today these actresses are not wearing Tsing Yi, but rather modern clothes, which, combined with their headdresses, look a bit nondescript.
Chapter completed!
