Fu Ming was an outgoing person, but he was a little embarrassed at first and even stuttered a bit when he spoke.
But when he started talking about the bluefin tuna he had caught a few days ago, he instantly got into the zone and became incredibly eloquent.
Having already boasted about it once at the dock, Fu Ming was now repeating it with even greater fluency.
Setting sail and catching big fish is a dream for many inlanders. Their booth was quickly surrounded by people, and seeing this, Fu Wan hurriedly led Zhang Xiaoqing to offer samples.
These customers came from all over the country, and their tastes varied.
Food factories and canneries happen to offer a variety of flavors to choose from.
There were only a few vendors selling dried fish and shrimp like this at the trade fair, and many people who tried it immediately bought one or two bags.
Wang Jianmin was the one who collected the money, while Zhang Xiaoqing was busy packing bags for the customers.
Fu Wan then took out the flyers she had prepared in advance and handed one to each customer.
"As you can see, this is our product list. If you are interested in purchasing in bulk after you get back, you can call the order hotline below."
Upon hearing this, some people immediately became interested.
"You're all in Longhai City. Even if I make a phone call, how can I buy these things?"
The man was also wearing a suit and had a trendy slicked-back hairstyle. He was also holding a bag of fish cakes that he had finished eating but couldn't bear to throw away, so it didn't seem like he was just asking casually.
Fu Wan smiled politely and replied confidently, "Don't worry, we also have cooperation with the railway department. If there is a train station where you are, we can arrange transportation through the railway department."
"Of course, we also have freight trucks for places that trains can't reach. As long as you order a lot, these are not a problem."
The man nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to turn around and sign the letter of intent with Wang Jianmin, a group of foreigners with distinctly different hair and skin color suddenly surrounded the booth.
Fu Wan's eyes lit up; their target customer had arrived.
"Sister Zhang, bring out the flyers we ordered!"
"Alright!"
Zhang Xiaoqing hurriedly put down the flyer in her hand, and then took out a stack of flyers that were similar in style from a bag next to her.
Several local Shanghai residents standing nearby glanced curiously at the flyer in Zhang Xiaoqing's hand, and upon seeing it, they couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.
"Wow, you guys are pretty smart, you prepared English versions of the flyers in advance."
Fu Wan laughed twice, "Of course! Our trade fair isn't open to the public, so it's always good to prepare in advance!"
After saying that, she took the English leaflet handed to her by Zhang Xiaoqing and then walked quickly toward the foreigners.
Her English skills are certainly not as good as Bai Qianzhou's, but she can still communicate in simple situations.
With so many people at booth number four, Qian Jin was incredibly envious. It's just shouting; he's got that in mind.
Seeing Fu Wan walking towards the foreign businessmen with the flyers, Qian Jin's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to stop the businessmen.
His English was even worse than Fu Wan's; he could only manage to say "hello" and "dog" over and over again.
But with his smiling face and constant gesturing, several foreign businessmen actually went to him.
Qian Jin wasn't stupid; there aren't many fools in business. As soon as the customers arrived, he followed Fu Wan's example and started tasting the food, gritting his teeth and opening several cans in a row.
These canned goods are actually quite good; they come in transparent glass jars, and you can see the fruit pulp inside with the naked eye.
To be honest, the variety of canned fruit is much more complete than that of Fu Wan's factory.
Not only do they have the common canned yellow peaches and oranges, but they also have mangoes and lychees.
If Qian Jin's breath hadn't smelled so bad, Fu Wan would have bought a few jars to take home for her family to try.
But now, haha.
Fu Wan didn't hold Qian Jin's actions of intercepting the merchants' business. It was already past nine o'clock, and a steady stream of merchants were pouring in.
Fu Wan quickly handed out all the flyers. Many foreign businessmen felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the English version of the flyers and immediately turned to Fu Wan's booth.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqing also enthusiastically invited the merchants to try the food. Foreigners' tastes are quite different from those of Chinese people; many prefer sweeter flavors.
However, Fu Wan prepared several kinds of seafood, such as squid tentacles and small silver fish, in a sweet and spicy flavor.
It tastes sweet at first, but after you swallow it, it becomes spicy.
Of course, it's not particularly spicy.
This novel flavor immediately attracted the interest of several foreign businessmen. Zhang Xiaoqing had worked in the car factory for so many years and had also taught herself English.
Faced with questions from customers, she and Fu Wan worked together to give a generous and detailed introduction to their products.
Although Fu Ming, Fang Min, and Wang Jianmin weren't very fluent in English, they didn't sit idle. They smiled and greeted passing merchants, offering them samples throughout the trip.
It's not just foreign merchants who are considered customers; quite a few domestic merchants are also interested in these products.
Among them were merchants from Beijing and Guangzhou.
As a former cannery manager, Wang Jianmin had seen his share of big events. The moment those businessmen opened their mouths, Wang Jianmin sensed that they were definitely backed by a large corporation.
So Wang Jianmin gave them a warm welcome, offering cigarettes and samples. Before long, not only did Fu Wan sign several letters of intent with foreign businessmen, but Wang Jianmin and Fu Ming also received several orders from large supermarkets in Guangzhou and Beijing.
Although Fang Min is not good with words, she always manages to hand over paper, pens, or samples whenever Fu Wan and Wang Jianmin ask for them.
The five people worked together seamlessly, and booth number four became so popular that it was impossible to squeeze in.
This stunned everyone else in the exhibition hall, and some people immediately began to imitate Fu Wan and her group's tasting method.
If the lotus root starch wasn't attracting customers, they quickly prepared it. They also brought out pastries and stood at the door for everyone to taste. There were even a few people from Sichuan who simply set up a pot and started cooking hot pot on their own.
The exhibition hall was now bustling with activity, and even passersby outside the hall could hear the commotion inside.
Attracted by the excitement, many people bought tickets to enter the venue.
This made the staff selling tickets at the entrance laugh their heads off, since their income, apart from the booth fees and registration fees from the attendees, depended entirely on these ticket sales.
Most people are content with what they have, but Hao Jian felt somewhat unhappy and regretful.
If he had known that booth number four would be so popular, he would have definitely asked for a tip of over a thousand yuan.
No, the trade fair still has two days left. He needs to figure out how to get those people from other provinces to spend some more money!
Hao Jian was making plans when his colleague next to him suddenly tugged at his sleeve.
He frowned and looked over, just in time to see a car parked at the entrance of the venue, and several middle-aged men in dark shirts getting out of the car.
Hao Jian glanced over and his face lit up with joy. Among the group of people was a familiar face—his cousin, Luo Jianwen!
