From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

"Canton Fair?" This was the first time Li Chengye had heard of this name. It sounded like a large trade fair.

"Comrade Li, have you never heard of the Canton Fair?" Director Wen was a little surprised. He had never thought of this possibility.

Li Chengye shook his head. He really didn't know. The original owner's memory didn't have anything about this either.

"The Canton Fair is the import and export commodity fair of the Flower Kingdom. It was founded in 1957 and has a history of almost 20 years. It is held in Guang'an Province in spring and autumn every year. The main organizer is our Commerce Bureau. To put it bluntly, it is to attract buyers from all over the world to come to our Flower Kingdom for purchases. Of course, it will also involve some import business. However, it has been relatively rare in recent years..."

As the director of the Commerce Bureau, although it is only the Commerce Bureau of Hunan Province, there are still some factories in their province that participate in the Canton Fair every year. Director Wen, as the person in charge, naturally knows this very well. When he was popularizing science for Li Chengye, he almost talked endlessly and was particularly detailed.

Director Wen explained it very clearly, so Li Chengye understood it very easily. To put it simply, it is to let buyers and sellers gather on a platform to obtain more trading opportunities. I have to say that this idea is still better. Buyers can have more opportunities to find direct purchase targets, and sellers can also find more suitable products.

"Is the Spring Canton Fair over?" Li Chengye was a little curious.

Director Wen nodded, "It's over. The Spring Canton Fair is almost held from late March to mid-April every year. This year it is from April 2nd to 4th."

"There should be factories in our province that go to participate in the Canton Fair, right?" Li Chengye is still quite interested in this Canton Fair, but it's a pity that steel is now a state-controlled resource, so their steel mills will not participate in such activities at all.

"Yes, this year many textile factories, clothing factories, food factories, and furniture factories have participated. In recent years, the scale of the Canton Fair has been getting bigger and bigger, and more and more foreign businessmen have come and gone, so naturally more and more factories are willing to participate in the Canton Fair." Since the first Canton Fair, although there have been many changes in the past 20 years, the Canton Fair has always been held. In recent years, due to the easing of foreign relations, the scale of the Canton Fair has also become larger and larger.

After that, the two of them talked about the Canton Fair in detail. Although it is just a Canton Fair, it is almost the most important foreign exchange platform in Huaguo.

However, Director Wen is the head of a department after all, and he did not talk to Li Chengye for long before going forward again.

"Li Chengye, hey, I have something to ask you!" Director Wen hadn't left for a few minutes when Director Zhou came to find Li Chengye.

Li Chengye was approached by many people today, but when he saw Director Zhou coming to find him, Li Chengye was still very patient. "Director Zhou?"

"Comrade Li, I have something to ask you for help." Director Zhou also smiled, but he looked a little worried. He pulled Li Chengye aside.

"You say!" Li Chengye couldn't think of what this person wanted to ask him for.

"Look, a lot of people came today. The canteen is already preparing dinner. Others are fine, but don't we have a few foreigners here? How should we arrange the dishes? Are there any taboos?"
