Farewell, my Boston Fair
ˇ°Hello, I am Michael Zhangˇ±, I dare say, anyone hearing this voice will have his heart beat faster, because it signals the beginning of exponential orders from the clients. Lizhi Zhang, the most famous celebrity in fisheries industry, usually begins his negotiation like that.

Zhang graduated from the Beijing Second Foreign Language University , and has worked in the fisheries industry since his graduation, so he without any difficulty becomes the expert in the seafood market. Further more, due to his plenty experience in the foreign-invested enterprises and the analyzing of both the home and abroad market, he can accurately forecast the seafood market, and has sent his assistance to many enterprises. In this show, as the chief representative from China , with his clients such as JANA Brands and American Seafoods, he has ordered more and more products. With his annual order amount up to hundreds of millions of US dollars, he doubtlessly is the most eye-catching figure in the seafood circle.

Mr. Zhang has always pay much attention to our foods1.com website, and in every Boston Seafood Show, he will particularly visits our show berth in person. He told us that he has benefited from our website, because he got to know a lot of basic information of the fisheries enterprises there. Here we sincerely hope the enterprise information on our website can provide more valuable reference for Mr. Zhang, and he can cooperate more frequently with our membership enterprises.

When we are talking about the next development of the seafood market, Mr. Zhang told us in a quite definite tongue that the price for hake and plaice will drop, and the price for cod will go up. The more and more transparent market information and the interactivity of the companies has rendered the fisheries market more competitive. To think out the way of how to buy the more appropriate material, how to develop smoother sales channel, and how to make the uttermost use of the enterprise resources is an effective method to improve their competitiveness in the market.

Compared with past years, more Chinese companies have attended this year's show, and they have brought with them a little freshness to the exhibition. May be only with this exhibition, they can find their proper client and establish their long-term cooperation with the encouraging consequence that they can make better use of their machineries and benefit from it all yearlong.

The equipment exhibitors almost accounts for 25% of all the exhibitors. All the advanced fishing and fish-hunting equipments are all gathered together along with many other accessories and processing machines. We can not even name some of the machines, and they without any doubt will cost you too much money.

Because the cost of Chinese labor force had always been rising and the number of workers has been declining, maybe, in the future, the machines will also take the place of laborers. I am wondering can we Chinese enterpriser develop these machines till that time.

Pauline, the general manager of the Asia zone in the Boston Seafood Show, is very beautiful. She is from Singapore and works very carefully. Because it is the Organizing Committee that we have signed the agreement with, we and Pauline have the opportunity to settle many our common problems. In every detail, Pauline has given us her most help and reminded us the necessary show procedures. Here I have the obligation to extend my appreciation to Miss Pauline.

Year in and year out, time seems without much difference; however, people come and people go, the world will never be the same. The three days for the show passed so fast with so many work have done.

Some enterprises come to establish their company image and some hunting for the buyers. Some participate only for visiting and many others for showing. The crowd has formed an endless stream. People came with hope and went back harvesting much valuable information. With their brisk footsteps, and smiling faces, they are constructing their fortune here.

Farewell, America ! Farewell my Boston Fair!
