suit, tie, backpack, what is indispensable is the exhibitor tag on the chest. When Roy walked into the "Four-leaf Crocodile", he cheered in his heart: "CII , I'm here again!"
Roy came to the 5th CIIE
Roy was the first new product at CIIE for the first launch
Roy is the general manager of New Slan Global R&D and an old friend of the CIIE. On October 22 this year, he set off from Auckland Airport in New Zealand and rushed to Shanghai on a "flying" basis. After experiencing the "7+3" health management in the hotel, he finally arrived at the 5th CIIE.
In the past two days, he has been busy all the time. He either stands for the first new product, negotiates with partners, and participates in the trans-ocean live broadcast to sell goods online. Seize every minute and every second of the "CIIE time", " Lao Luo " becomes the link connecting New Zealand ranch and the Chinese market.
Yesterday morning, Newestland's "Low Carbon Plant-Based Packaging A2 Pure Milk" launched worldwide at the 5th CIIE, realizing the full-link digital carbon reduction "from ranch to dining table". Standing in front of the launch stage, Roy was filled with emotion. He finally brought this low-carbon product to China and saw with his own eyes the recognition of it by Chinese consumers.
"Neuslan has participated in the CIIE for five consecutive years, and this is my fourth time participating in the CIIE." He said that the first three exhibitions allowed him to meet high-quality buyers from all over the country. They not only brought orders, but also brought the best information in the Chinese market. Therefore, the CIIE is an excellent window to understand the Chinese market, allowing Neweuslan to continuously enrich its product line and bloom new vitality. What makes Roy more proud is that China is New Zealand's largest dairy importer. Now, every 3 cans of are New Zealand's products in every 3 cans of milk imported into China. "The CIIE has helped us achieve leapfrog development of our brand. This is my original intention to persist in participating in the CIIE."
Preparation before the exhibition
When the third CIIE, Roy overcame many difficulties in order to participate in the exhibition. At that time, he needed to go through 28 days of quarantine, multiple rounds of nucleic acid testing for , and a long journey across the northern and southern hemispheres. With this experience, this time, "Crossing across the ocean to see you" seems confident.
Roy said: "As early as three months ago, my Chinese colleagues prepared an invitation letter for the CIIE. As soon as I got it, I immediately submitted a visa application to the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand. After a series of epidemic prevention tests, the total number was about 30. I finally got a visa in early October and could attend the fifth CIIE." Late at night on October 22, Roy boarded a flight to Shanghai, and after landing, he met Shanghai in the early morning. Soon, he stayed in an isolation hotel, took his body temperature and nucleic acid every day, and lived alone for 10 days. But he said that it's all worth it.
On the days when I stayed in the hotel, except for the jet lag on the first night, Roy got up at 5:30 in the morning every day since then, after doing some stretching exercises, he video-called with his family while having breakfast, and then he was working. "This is the self-consciousness of a rancher." he laughed and said that isolation does not mean "herding sheep", there are too many things to prepare for the CIIE.
"I was lifted out of quarantine on November 3, and there was still a lot of preparations before this. For example, fill in the information about participating in the CIIE, check the schedule and workflow of the exhibition with my Chinese colleagues, and be familiar with the process of multiple activities such as the launch of new products, cooperation signing, cross-oceanic live broadcasts, etc. I also contacted several buyers I met at the previous two CIIEs and invited them to come back this year. I also had to apply for a mobile phone card, Alipay , etc., because after the CIIE was closed, I would like to have a stroll in Shanghai and buy something."
communicates with partners
Roy was interviewed by the Coast Jun
In the past two days, from 9 am to 5 pm, 67-year-old Roy almost didn't stop. Although it challenged his physical strength, he was in a very comfortable mood. "I have met many buyers and partners, and everyone is very welcome to my arrival. I am also very happy to see that they are very interested in New Zealand's new products and agree with the concept of full-link low-carbon that we have proposed. "
While he is busy and happy, Roy is also looking forward to a moment of relaxation after the closing of the CIIE. He said that he had already bought his return ticket. On the afternoon of November 15, "I will stay in Shanghai for a while." At that time, he will review the CIIE with his Chinese colleagues, go to the sinking market to see product sales, and discuss how to prepare for the CIIE next year. Of course, you have to take some time Come out and walk Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and try the authentic this gang dish. At the end of the interview, the coastal king asked Roy, will you come next year? He said, Yes, I will also come to participate in the CIIE!
