On this beautiful moonlit evening, we’re very happy to have Mr. White and his party here with us. Confucius once said, “It is such a delight to have friends coming from afar.” Mr. White is an old friend of ours, a pioneer in the US trade with China. He was among the first American businessmen who came to China right after the Pingpong Diplomacy in the 70’s of the last century.

Since then, we have signed 26 contracts with Wilson Fashion Company. Though there have been ups and downs in the trade volume, we have developed a very solid and mutually beneficial relationship.

As our present contract is expiring next month, we’ll begin our negotiation for the new contract tomorrow. I’d like to take this opportunity to propose a toast to the success of the negotiation and to the prosperity of our tow companies.
