60s: I have a store

Chapter 446: Foreigners Make Trouble

The booth was decorated in a simple and elegant manner, with suitcase samples neatly arranged, waiting to attract everyone's attention.

Not long after the launch, some foreign buyers were attracted by the unique design of the suitcases and came to inquire.

Li Caiying and others relied on the experience accumulated from communicating with David on the train, as well as the English skills strengthened by cramming, and worked hard to introduce the products to the buyers.

However, due to language and cultural differences, communication was not smooth.

Some buyers questioned the material of the suitcases. Although Li Caiying understood the principle, he could not find the right words to explain it and was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in the crowd. It was David.

When he saw Li Caiying and others, he came over enthusiastically and helped them explain in detail to the buyers the material advantages and production process of the suitcases in fluent English.

With David's help, the buyers had a deeper understanding of the products. One of the buyers expressed a strong intention to cooperate on the spot and left his contact information, hoping to further discuss the order details.

Li Caiying and others were very grateful to David for his timely help. David smiled and said, "You helped me a lot on the train, and it is my duty to help you now.

And I am really optimistic about your product, and I believe more people will like it.”

As he said this, he stood aside, ready to act as a translator for Li Caiying and the others.

When Li Caiying and the others saw this, they were very grateful. It was only a small help on the train, and they didn't expect David to repay them so much.

At this time, a fierce quarrel was heard not far away, attracting everyone's attention.

Li Caiying and her friends looked in the direction of the sound and saw a foreign businessman standing in front of a Chinese exhibitor's booth with an angry look on his face.

In not very fluent but firm Chinese, he said: "Your product quality is not good at all. How dare you come to the Canton Fair? It's a waste of my time!"

The Chinese exhibitor was a middle-aged man with an anxious and helpless look on his face. He tried to explain: "Sir, our products have always been produced in strict accordance with standards, and we have never received such feedback before. Can you tell me specifically what you are not satisfied with?"

If it were any other place, I would have gone up and started a big quarrel, but in this place, I could only endure it.

The foreign businessman refused to give in and shouted: "I don't need to hear your explanation. You Chinese are just trying to pass off inferior goods as good ones to deceive us foreign customers!"

Hearing such unreasonable accusations, the surrounding Chinese exhibitors all showed dissatisfaction, but no one dared to speak out. After all, the Canton Fair is an important international trade platform and no one wants to cause trouble.

When Li Caiying saw this scene, she felt a surge of injustice in her heart.

He looked at Zhang Deyun, Wang Xingwang and Zhao Jianhua. The other three also had firm eyes, so the four of them walked towards the place where the quarrel was happening without hesitation.

Li Caiying walked up to the foreign businessman and said politely but firmly: "Sir, it is wrong for you to make such groundless accusations.

Every company is trying to provide quality products, and you should give specific questions and evidence instead of just smearing them.”

The foreign businessman did not expect anyone to refute him. He turned around, looked Li Caiying up and down, and said disdainfully: "Who are you? Is it your turn to speak here? You Chinese are all the same, you can only quibble."

The attitude has been like this in previous years, but no one dared to stand up, so it became unscrupulous.

Zhang Deyun could not help but step forward and said, "Please respect us. We Chinese companies have always adhered to the principle of honest business. Your remarks are disrespectful to all Chinese exhibitors." The foreign businessman was angered by Zhang Feng's actions. He put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Okay, you dare to talk back! I will kick you all out of the Canton Fair and see how you can do business!"

As he said this, he pretended to go find the staff.

After seeing this scene, the exhibitors around thought that Li Caiying and his companions were very brave, but now that they had caused a big disaster, they would probably just be beaten up when they returned to the factory.

Even dismissal from the job is possible, as the Canton Fair is too important to the country now.

Li Caiying and the others were not afraid. Instead, Wang Xingwang said calmly, "Your behavior will not solve the problem. If you really have an opinion on the product, we can work together to resolve it. But if you just want to make trouble, we will not back down."

Seeing that they did not back down, the foreign businessmen became even more angry and kept muttering some unpleasant words.

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense and the situation was about to get out of control, a familiar voice came: "What happened?"

Everyone turned around and saw that it was David. David saw that Li Caiying and the others were also there, so he walked over quickly.

After David understood the situation, he said to the foreign businessman in English seriously: "Friend, it is inappropriate to accuse others without solid evidence. The Canton Fair is a platform to promote friendly trade exchanges. Everyone should communicate with a rational and respectful attitude."

When the foreign businessman saw David, his expression eased a little. It was obvious that the two knew each other. However, David was the leader. He still said reluctantly, "David, you don't understand the situation. There is something wrong with their products."

David looked at the Chinese exhibitors and asked, "Can I see the products?"

The Chinese exhibitor quickly handed over the product. David carefully checked it and found that there was no obvious quality problem with the product itself.

He told the foreign businessman: "I think this product is not as bad as you said. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between us."

The foreign businessman was still unconvinced and said, "But I don't think it meets my expectations."

David patiently explained: “Each country may have different standards and preferences for products, but this does not mean there is a problem with the product quality.

We should understand and communicate with an open mind, rather than taking an accusatory attitude from the beginning. Doing so will not only hurt the feelings of our Chinese friends, but also be detrimental to our efforts to establish a good cooperative relationship at the Canton Fair."

After listening to David's words, the foreign businessman was silent for a while, as if thinking.

In the end, he could only admit it and said, "Okay, maybe I was too impulsive just now."

He turned to the Chinese exhibitors and said, "I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude just now."

The Chinese exhibitors quickly responded: "It doesn't matter, as long as everyone can communicate clearly."

Li Caiying and others breathed a sigh of relief to see that the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

Li Caiying said to David gratefully: "David, thanks for arriving in time, otherwise I don't know what would have happened today."

David smiled and said: "We are all friends. We should help each other at the Canton Fair and jointly maintain a good communication environment."
