We not only had face-to-face business talks with our old friends for many years, extended the relationship on the Internet and over the phone to reality, but also received more than 50 new purchasers and dealers, opening a new cooperative relationship. This trip has let us jump out of the 'comfort zone' and have a more intuitive feeling of the overseas market. I am confident that our products will be introduced to the world.".
