The plan was disrupted (a 7,000-word chapter, please subscribe)

The Canton Fair in 1978 was very different from previous years.

The biggest difference is that there is less red inside and outside and more other colors.

As the first city in China to experience reform and opening up, Yangcheng was the first to be reflected in this session of the Canton Fair.

The Canton Fair has been moved twice. Starting in 1974, it moved to the current Liuhua Road exhibition hall.

Chen Can has been to the Yangcheng Canton Fair several times. Of course, that was thirty years later.

Regarding the city of Yangcheng, Chen Can has a very complicated heart.

This city is like a second hometown to Chen Can. He has experienced happiness and success here, as well as pain and despair.

For some people, this city is a paradise. For many people, this city is a steel cage that cannot be escaped!

As a man of three generations, he seems to have an inseparable fate with this city.

This time it was 1978, the last time was 1990, and even thirty years later, everything was so magical.

In every era, Chen Can feels different when he comes here. The difference between 1978 and 2018 is like two different time and space.

This time, Chen Can did not come here for fun. Moreover, there was not much to do in Yangcheng in this era. The water of the Pearl River was still so choppy. The only difference was that there were no tall buildings on both sides of the river.

Compared with the various large-scale guests arranged by foreign merchants, the treatment of these domestic exhibition groups is much worse.

The entire Liaoshen delegation was arranged into a guest house. The ten people from the Ningjiang Wireless Factory could only be allocated three rooms, two for men and one for women, which were bunk beds. Chen Can was speechless.

We must treat foreigners with courtesy, and we must display a hard-working spirit towards Chinese people. This is the same tradition in any era.

Chen Can didn't care. This was just a simple place to stay anyway. The reason why he brought ten people with him this time was that he was well prepared.

Chen Can, the financial accountant, only brought two people, as well as two translators, and sales staff to transport samples from Ningjiang and arrange the venue. These people had to follow up at all times.

A small county-level city has more exhibitors than other prefecture-level cities. Only Ningjiang Wireless Factory has such treatment.

Liaoning and Shenyang also have great expectations for Ningjiang Wireless Factory this time, which Chen Can naturally knows.

Chen Can will naturally not let down Liao Shen's trust. To be honest, being able to get the support of a province is something Chen Can would have never dared to imagine a year ago.

The reason why Ningjiang Wireless Factory can develop so fast has a lot to do with the support.

Chen Can doesn't want to be involved in some intrigues. Huang Jiang has blocked most conflicts very well. There are still some that cannot be blocked. Chen Can doesn't care. No matter who benefits in the end, but don't block Ning.

Just develop Jiangxi Wireless Factory.

It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that Ningjiang Wireless Factory can develop so smoothly.

The Canton Fair would not start until the day after tomorrow. Chen Can thought that he had already come, so he decided to take a good look around Guangzhou.

This is not about having fun, but about finding that special sense of belonging inside.

Although I am already very familiar with this city, after all, it is the Yangcheng of 1978. Now that I am here, it would be a shame not to go and see it.

Chen Can walked along the road he took in his previous life, and went to Thirteenth Street, the train station, and even the village in the city where he had stayed.

Along the way, the scenery I saw included joy, helplessness, disappointment, and mostly emotion.

Sure enough, that saying is right, time can change everything!

Starting this year, this city is like a clockwork machine. Its changes in the next forty years will be greater than those in the previous four hundred years.

Maybe I will have the opportunity to witness this period of time.

You are a time traveler, aren't you?

After a simple day of sightseeing, Chen Can immediately got into work. The Liaoshen delegation was basically from the Northeast, and they were not used to the weather here and complained repeatedly.

After all, in the Northeast, people wear cotton-padded jackets at this time, but here, the weather has been good these days, and they still wear short-sleeved clothes. At night, it suddenly rained again, and it was sunny again the next day. The most important thing is that the humidity is very heavy , this hot and humid weather makes these Northeastern men miserable.

Chen Candao likes this kind of weather very much. He is not only adaptable to the weather here, but also more adaptable to the people and language here.

Although Chen Can understands and speaks Cantonese, he dare not reveal it at all.

As a Northeastern man, in this era, if you say that you have taught yourself Russian and English, people may still believe you, but if you speak fluent Cantonese, you will definitely be better than the censors.

After all, in this era of self-taught Cantonese, are you planning to learn swimming?

Chen Can naturally knew this truth, so he brought a translator. He still spoke Mandarin like a scumbag, and occasionally spoke a few words of broken English, making the female translator laugh non-stop.

Chen Can had been to the Canton Fair in 2013, 2016, and 2018, but at that time, the Canton Fair had already become popular with the public, and it was not as high-end as it is now, let alone as mysterious as it is now.

At the Canton Fair at that time, he was a visitor, and he was a participant now, which were two completely different experiences. Not to mention the characteristics of two different eras, which also gave Chen Can a great sense of freshness!

At the Canton Fair at that time, white-skinned and dark-skinned foreigners were everywhere. But now, there are not many black-skinned people and not many white-skinned people. There are more businessmen from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan wearing suits.

Before the 1990s, the main purchasing merchants of the Canton Fair were mainly from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. After the 1990s, European and American merchants gradually became the mainstream.

This is normal. In this era, the ties between the Chinese are definitely closer, and there are also some old friend countries in the third world. Foreigners in Europe and the United States obviously still have some prejudices against this country.

Of course, those European and American foreigners who come to the Canton Fair in this era are mostly interested in China's cheap raw materials.

Ningjiang Wireless Factory is allocated in Hall No. 6. The main products here are household electrical appliances. The electrical products of this era are completely incomparable with those of later generations.

But all the necessary electrical appliances are available here. Obviously, whether they can be sold or not, this is a display of national strength.

Although they are all the same old gadgets, they have everything from radios to black and white TVs, and finally refrigerators. It can be said that the categories are very complete, and among them there is one electrical appliance that makes Chen Can feel more at ease.

This kind of appliance is an electric fan. This place is very hot, but looking at the rows of electric fans, Chen Can also feels a little cool.

Don't underestimate this electric fan. The flagship export product of electrical appliances in this era is this electric fan.

Since the 1960s, electric fans have been exported to earn foreign exchange, making great contributions to the construction of the motherland.

In fact, the technical difficulty of electric fans is at the level of an elementary school student for Ningjiang Wireless Factory, but Chen Can doesn't want to do it.

The reason is very simple. The technical difficulty of this thing is too low. Since the 1980s, countless electric fan manufacturers have launched across the country. Competition will quickly become fierce. Ningjiang Wireless Factory will not bully children.

When Chen Can saw the "Diamond Brand" electric fan, he couldn't help but feel more intimate. In the early 1990s, Chen Can's family bought one and used it for nearly 20 years without breaking. This is the real fan.

Chinese quality.

Unlike the gadgets I make now, electronic watches will have to be thrown away after two years of use, radios will have to gather dust in drawers after three years, and tape recorders, VCDs and other gadgets are all products that are quickly being eliminated by the times.

In the next ten years or so, Ningjiang Wireless Factory's goal is to make quick money in the spotlight. Who will develop products that can last for more than ten years without being obsolete?

In the field of electronics, if you want to make money in every outlet, you must maintain a technological lead, and an absolute lead!

Because of that, a technological monopoly will be formed!

Only by truly forming a technological monopoly can we take the initiative!

Now, Ningjiang Wireless Factory’s electronic watch is the first product to shine!

Chen Can was filled with emotion as he passed each booth. Many images emerged in his memory, making him feel familiar and familiar, but he was also filled with emotion about the opportunities of the times.

In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and Chen Can was woken up by the delegation members very early in the morning. It was just before six o'clock, and Chen Can was speechless.

But the leaders of the Liaoshen delegation were obviously very excited today and called everyone to a meeting early in the morning.

Although there was no conference room, everyone was crowded in the restaurant of the guest house. The leader of the delegation stood on a chair and was frothing at the mouth, explaining policies to the exhibitors from various cities, how to deal with foreign businessmen, and how everyone should work hard.

wait.

In fact, the leader has talked about these things no less than five times, but he still doesn't feel tired.

Chen Can yawned, ate fried dough sticks, and listened to the leader's speech.

Chen Can was frothing at the mouth and gave a passionate speech. Chen Can felt sad for his colleagues sitting in the front row. There must have been a lot of drool on their faces.

If it weren't for the leader who spoke, Chen Can would have almost thought he was a master of success, except for that slogan!

"Work hard! Success, success, and create greater glory!"

Finally, an hour later, the leader called the meeting to an end, and everyone left in a hurry to get ready.

Chen Can felt that he was not yet full of sleep, so he went back to his room and slept for an hour. He was not woken up until eight o'clock.

At this time, other people outside the door were already ready. Chen Can briefly washed himself, then waved his hand and led everyone towards the exhibition hall.

At this time, there were already a lot of people in the square outside. In addition to visiting merchants, there were also many local people.

In this era, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the exhibition venue, but it is the nature of Chinese people to watch the excitement. It is normal for everyone to watch the excitement in twos and threes.

In fact, compared to the crowded scenes in later generations, this era was still quite deserted.

Chen Can put on his badge and led an interpreter and two others into Hall No. 6.

Chen Can has other plans for the remaining people!

As soon as Chen Can entered the exhibition hall, he saw an empty scene. Even among the representatives who came to participate in the exhibition, not many people came at this time.

Obviously those exhibitors knew what was going on, and only first-time exhibitors like Ningjiang Wireless Factory were so active.

The household electrical appliances exhibition area is obviously an unpopular exhibition area in this era. In addition to Southeast Asia, there are also black uncles from the third world. Who would like Huaxia Electrical Appliances in this era?

Even the machinery exhibition hall next door has more traffic than the electrical appliances exhibition hall.

Chen Can walked to his booth, looked around, frowned, but in the end he was strong enough and didn't say anything.

Originally, the electrical appliance area was an unpopular exhibition area, but the exhibition area of ​​Ningjiang Wireless Factory was even more unpopular. It was located at the very back, and its area was only half the size of other exhibition areas.

There is no way, Ningjiang Wireless Factory is participating for the first time, and it is only a district-level unit.
