Everyone knows that our (original) exhibition in March, if it is to be postponed, means that we have to mobilize nearly 4,000 food factories in our original exhibition to choose new markets.
After the outbreak of the epidemic, the food party actually extended our hands to us. We hope that we will move the exhibition to Changsha and hold it at the same time. I think this is a very sincere expression of sincerity.
We actually succeeded when we officially announced that we had moved the exhibition to Changsha on May 13th.
