what I feel at the show

The furniture show was opened in Pazhou Complex on Mar 18th.I arrived there about 9:00am.Actually my company don't show the furniture over there due to we don't apply for the booth successfully,we just exhibit chandelier in the booth of my boss's friend,where is  called "NB" for short by me.*|

Frankly,all customers of course notice furniture but not chandelier,they all think it is just decoration.I stood there,very tired,but I still find something interesting.NB is a big company,they are afraid that other factory visit their booth and copy their design so there are 2 staff standing in the front of the door.Who want to come in pls show your name card,except foreigner.Some Chinese are very angry,they feel not to be treated fairly. I think they avoid the risk but also lose some potential customers,however,compare with the former,the later is nothing.

The first day,there was few customers,not busy.I had a rest and who sat next to me is a USA man.I talked with him in order to practise my english.He mentioned it's the first time to China and would like to purchase some items with his friend.From our conversation,I found he didn't get invovled in this field since he even don't know this's the first day of the show.It's nothing,I only want to speak English.About 4:00pm,I left the complex.

Perhaps I stood for a long time last day,the second day my leg muscles aches.:L NB's customers are mostly from Mid-East and Africa,and ours are from European and USA,so I deeply confirmed that there is little harvest too.They were very busy,many foreigner need quotation but their export workers are not enough.Hehe,I was free so that I could help them as a translator:I translate the words of customer to NB's internal worker.During this time,I could learn their transaction skill. Whereas I found their customers like bargain very much,they still placed about 100 containers totally(this number is told by NB staff),good news.For me,there is no one ask chandelier,bad news:(

Today,the third day,felt tired either.:L Obviously today customer is less than yesterday,just around 10am there are a littly busy,sure that I act the translator.There is another good news,someone take interest in our chandelier,even if it does not belong to our market(according to our experience,Africa cannot accept our price:) ),I am still happy.:lol When they ask me for name card,I just say:sorry,I don't tkake it.:(  As I mentioned beofre,the company don't print it for me.:') Flush!
