Clearly, the current scale is no longer sufficient to keep up with future development.
At this point, it was only the first tentative attempt at bartering.
By the second and third time, as the volume of goods on both sides increased, this number of people was not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
in addition.
While bartering with Francis, it was also necessary to distribute a portion of the goods.
This portion will continue to be sold in the free trade market as retail goods.

besides.
Before leaving Moscow, Chen Dong also instructed Lin Zhiming to establish connections with several other free trade markets.
After what happened last time, Chen Dong became even more certain of his strategic plan.

Chen Dong immediately went to visit Director Xie again.
He knew very well what enabled the barter trade to succeed.
