Chapter 159 Arriving in Guangzhou Again
After get off work, Jiang Weimin and Jiang Yafei came to An Tai's house together.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw An Tai sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When he saw the two of them come in, he put down the newspaper in his hand and warmly invited them to sit down.
"Uncle, we can just eat something in the factory cafeteria. There's no need to trouble Aunt to cook for us."
At this time, An Tai's wife also came out of the kitchen. "What's the trouble? I'd be happy if you could come to my house for dinner more often!"
"Yes! You are the only ones who don't want to live here. I called you here this time because I have something to tell you."
Jiang Weimin asked curiously, "What's the matter, uncle?"
An Tai smiled proudly and said, "This time our factory arranged for me to go to the Canton Fair with you to help with some affairs."
Jiang Yafei heard this and said excitedly, "That's great, uncle. I haven't told you yet that the publishing house has also arranged for me to go to Guangzhou. It's great to be able to go with uncle!"
However, Jiang Weimin keenly perceived the deep meaning of this. She smiled and said to An Tai, "Uncle, is it because the factory leaders are worried that my clothing design is not good enough?
Are you afraid that the situation will be the same as the last Canton Fair, so you are asked to go over to help calm things down?
If it doesn't work, you're here so we can have some wiggle room."
An Tai laughed and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, our factory manager said that if the clothes designed this time do not achieve the expected effect, let me communicate with you to redesign them."
"That's a good thing. My uncle is going to the Canton Fair with us, so it's just right that he can take care of us."
An Tai nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too."
“However, uncle, Yafei and I should not go with you, we will go first.
The printing and dyeing factory in Guangzhou had a quota for designing clothes, so we went there to design clothes for them, and the hotel also helped us with the arrangement.”
"Oh! It's okay, we'll meet up in Guangzhou." An Tai nodded slightly with an understanding smile on his face.
Half a month later
Jiang Weimin and Jiang Yafei took the sleeper to Guangzhou. Jiang Weimin was thankful that he had left early.
Otherwise, it will most likely be a hard sleeper or hard seat, and you will be exhausted after sitting for a few days.
Jiang Weimin couldn't help feeling lucky when he imagined spending a long journey in a cramped and crowded hard-seat carriage.
I give a thumbs up to the leaders of the Publishing Bureau for giving this quota to the printing and dyeing factory in Guangzhou.
During the two days on the train, Jiang Weimin had nothing to do, so he carefully supervised Jiang Yafei in reviewing together.
After arriving in Guangzhou and completing the clothing design task, Jiang Weimin took Jiang Yafei out to play for two days.
They walked through the streets and alleys of Guangzhou, feeling the unique charm of this city, where ancient buildings and modern skyscrapers complement each other, and the lively streets are bustling with people.
Jiang Weimin and Jiang Yafei tasted the local delicacies, admired the beautiful scenery, and enjoyed this rare leisure time.
"Jiang Weimin is lucky to follow you to be an editor. If he had joined the army, he wouldn't have such a colorful life." Jiang Yafei said with emotion, her eyes flashing with satisfaction with her current life.
"You will be grateful for my decision for the rest of your life!"
Jiang Yafei raised her head slightly and looked at the sky, "In this bustling city, we are like free birds, flying in the vast sky.
The picture of life slowly unfolds before us, and every stroke is full of color and surprises. "
"Jiang Yafei, I didn't realize you are also a literary young woman. In the future, our family will not only produce a painter and a writer, but also a poet!" Jiang Weimin teased with a smile.
"There's a lot more that you haven't seen!" Jiang Yafei raised her chin proudly with a confident smile on her face.
After waiting for the Qingdao trade delegation to arrive, Jiang Yafei, Jiang Weimin and their uncle Antai met up and immediately plunged into their intense work, beginning to carefully arrange the booth.
This time they had an area negotiated with Shanghai Publishing House. Although the location was good, it was indeed not as big as the first booth last time.
Recalling the last experience, they directly occupied the booth of the Third Printing and Dyeing Factory, and many booths helped recommend comic strips.
This time, Shanghai Publishing House organized the joint exhibition of comic strips, and convened six publishing houses including Shanghai, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Shandong and Qingdao.
Qingdao Publishing House is still led by Feng Nan and the original team. The difference from the past is that this time there is a new member, Jiang Yafei.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Jiang Weimin inadvertently saw Vice President Zhang of Shanghai Publishing House also arrived at the scene.
After all, they had met each other once before, so Jiang Weimin quickly put down his work, walked over and said hello.
"President Zhang, it's you who led the team here this time!" Jiang Weimin said respectfully with a humble smile on his face.
"Comrade Weimin, long time no see. Before I came here, President Tian asked me to see you and learn from your experience."
"President Tian is too kind to me. Our two publishing houses should learn from each other."
"Comrade Weimin, you are still too modest. You have already had a successful experience.
Can you take me to your booth for a visit? I want to learn from you too!"
Jiang Weimin then brought President Zhang to the booth of Qingdao Publishing House.
When President Zhang saw the poster displayed by Jiang Weimin, he said with emotion:
"Xiao Jiang! It seems that we are not well prepared! Your poster is so beautiful.
In comparison, our preparations seemed a bit hasty.
I will organize everyone in a moment, and you can share your experience with us!"
"Okay, I'll explain to my family some of the problems that occurred at the last Canton Fair."
"Comrade Wei Min's ideological awareness is really high!"
When seeing the exquisite comic book sets published by Qingdao Publishing House, President Zhang once again expressed his heartfelt admiration.
"Comrade Wei Min, luckily you shared your experience with us! You see, this method of selling comic books directly in box sets is really amazing.
We had never thought of this kind of sales before. We always sold comic books one by one in an orderly manner, but never considered integrating them together and presenting them to readers in the form of a set.
I have to admire Qingdao Publishing House's innovative sales approach."
"President Zhang, you are so kind!"
Now, seeing this comic book from Qingdao Publishing House, the six publishing houses participating in the exhibition have all learned from Qingdao Publishing House. This time, each publishing house has carefully created an exquisite comic book set.
After the tour, President Zhang felt that he had learned a lot of new things.
“Comrade Weimin, you guys go ahead and do your work. I’ll quickly arrange for someone to draw a few posters.
I will inform you after I have organized the group and pass on your valuable experience to us."
