"Let me please-S036 guests come to the stage to sign."
On the 6th, the sound of loudspeakers reverberated in the 3rd CIIE Trade and Investment Matchmaking Conference.
By the time of lunch, there were still full seats.
The domestic and foreign merchants who came to the stage to sign contracts were wave after wave, and the large group of people lined up at the side of the hall, waiting to be called.
According to preliminary statistics from a reporter from China News Agency, on the morning of the 6th, the number of signings at this venue alone has reached nearly 40.
In this "buy, buy, buy" feast, merchants not only competed for their eyesight, but also tested their feet and speed.
Zhu Dan, chairman of Zhejiang China-Africa International Economic and Trade Port Service Co., Ltd., who has stepped down from the signing platform, seemed very excited.
This time, they signed a pulp purchasing intention with the well-known Indonesian consortium Sinar Mas Group, and the first-phase intention purchase amount reached 28 million US dollars.
Zhu Dan's company provides trade services to more than 3,000 small, medium and micro enterprises.
Due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic abroad, he could not go on business trips and merchants could not come in, so he could only be in a hurry.
"At the CIIE, there are so many multinational companies gathering, and they can find trading partners without going out of'Shanghai.' It is like a duck in water," said Zhu Dan.
"Quickly, there is a new customer over there who wants to discuss business with us, so go to occupy the seat first." Just after signing the agreement, Zhang Feng, the general manager of Jiangsu Xuzhou Shuangchen Clothing Co., Ltd. was hurriedly taken away by the assistant, and ran all the way to the negotiation. Sit down at the table.
Zhang Feng's main business is to export clothing to Southeast Asian countries.
His idea of trying to diversify operations was realized at this year's CIIE, purchasing Afghan dried fruits and saffron in order to open up the domestic "tip of tongue" market.
The intention of Qiu Yiping, the person in charge of Zhejiang Songyuan Stationery Co., Ltd., and Russian merchants can be described as "flash".
"The price is right, we also need it, and it's set." Qiu Yiping said neatly.
Qiu Yiping's company originally purchased poplar wood from Heilongjiang to make pencils and then exported to the Middle East. The company's annual output value is about 100 million yuan.
With the expansion of business, the supply of raw materials gradually appeared shortcomings, and the encounter with Russian timber merchants at the CIIE quickly led to this transaction.
Negotiations among domestic businessmen are also very enthusiastic.
Stepping off the signing stage, Hong Kong Jiahe Foods International Co., Ltd. representative Zheng Yongheng, and the head of the Guangzhou-based e-commerce platform shopping network Ou Guangqi shook hands many times, and met each other bitterly.
Zheng Yongheng's company is mainly engaged in food baking, and he does not understand the preferences of mainland consumers and lacks mainland marketing channels. Ou Guangqi believes this is their strength.
Zhang Yunpeng, purchasing director of Tianjin Aojiabao Technology Development Company, and Jiangsu merchants met at the CIIE last year when Zhang Yunpeng wanted to buy high-quality puffed food.
After a year of running-in, the two sides felt that the time was right to "renew the frontier" at this year's CIIE and sign the agreement of intent.
"In a special period, it is very difficult to have such an opportunity to meet international and domestic counterparts. The CIIE provides an explanation to accelerate the formation of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles mutually promoting each other." Said when interviewed.
In the interview that day, whether it was an “experienced customer” or a “newcomer” of the CIIE, when they were asked whether they would participate in the next CIIE, their answer was "definitely."
