In order to undertake the spillover effect of the Canton Fair, Yiwu, Zhejiang ushered in a procurement boom. The streets and alleys are full of foreign businessmen with different skin colors and speaking different languages, which is very lively. With clear procurement goals, they started the "shopping" mode in Yiwu.

This May Day has made many more foreign businessmen purchasing in Yiwu than before. Many of them came here just after attending the Canton Fair.

Argentine buyer Gilman said: "I didn't expect that there are so many products in the Yiwu market, and not only are the quality good, but there are many styles to choose from, and the prices are also good."

Behind the excitement is the efforts of more than 100 staff in Yiwu. In order to undertake the spillover effect of the Canton Fair, they rushed to Guangzhou and invited foreign investors to come and purchase "point-to-point". These foreign investors come from 18 countries and regions including Argentina and Saudi Arabia, and more than 95% of them are coming to Yiwu for the first time.

During the interview, Xiao Ming, a Yemeni buyer who is fluent in Chinese, attracted the attention of reporters. He has been in business with China for 8 years and imports more than 100 container goods from China every year. Xiao Ming told reporters that he had been to Yiwu seven years ago, but this time, the changes in Yiwu shocked him. Not only is there a wide range of finished clothing products here, but a complete clothing industry supply chain has also been developed.

After visiting Yiwu International Trade City for a morning, Xiao Ming rushed to Yiwu International Expo Center to attend the exhibition. Whenever he arrives at a booth, he learns about the product situation in detail, exchanges business cards with exhibitors, and looks for possible cooperation. He originally planned to stay for three days, decisively extended his itinerary to six days and planned to set up an office in Yiwu.

At present, buyers are still landing in Yiwu one after another. With policy dividends, industrial resilience and market vitality, Yiwu is attracting more and more foreign buyers to find business opportunities and gain friendship here.
